I have an Excel workbook which runs a query via DAO against an Access database. The query usually takes about 6-7 seconds. Id like to do some animation while the query is running. My animation is just a simple Autoshape that I rotate (1 degree at a time) in a loop. Is there a way I can excecute my query and then continue to run my code while the query is excecuting?

Currently i have a button on sheet 1, that contains this VBA code
Code:
ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll
Sheets 2 , 3 ,5 all have a MS Queries.
However I only need sheets 2 and 3 refreshed , and not 5.
At the moment it takes long to refresh all , and want to specify which sheets need to be refreshed, to make it faster for the user.
FYG, I cannot remove sheet 5, as it is required on adhoc basis.
I have looked everywhere on the internet, yet am unable to find a solution re:animation of text in excel 2007.
As shown in the attached spreadsheet, I have text in cell B1 (which is merged all the way through to cell T1).
I want this text to be moving or rotating (whatever it is called) i.e. move from right to left as if it is in an orbit.
how to make the text in a Control Tool Box "Label". On Load, show text one letter at a Time?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been working on a variety of ways to display a 'loading' animation into Excel while other processes are running and although there seems to be a lot of strategies out there, none seem to jive with the form I've created. I've been reading a lot about "DoEvents", because that seems to be the common theme in trying to display a UserForm while other processes are running. However, I just don't have enough of a grasp of how it works to make it function properly with my form.
Basically, the form I have features several combo boxes, several command buttons, a few text fields and a bunch of labels. On initializing the form, captions for the labels and items in the combo boxes are added based on the ActiveCell and its surrounding values. Additionally, it includes an 'UPDATE' button that changes the captions and values on the form itself without hiding it, and once again makes reference to the active cell. This 'UPDATE' function can take quite some time and this is where I want to have a loading animation running.
Like I said, I've tried to achieve this in a few ways and the most hopeful avenue seems to be creating a separate UserForm with a WebBrowser element that references the animated GIF in question. However, when one UserForm is showing, the code from another will not run until it is closed. Thus, if I call the animation from the UPDATE button, the animation form will appear, but the update itself will not occur until the animation has been manually closed. Which defeats the purpose of a loading animation.
I understand that "DoEvents" is supposed to surrender some of the allotted processor power from the application so other code run, but the documentation surrounding it is rather convoluted to me. I can get it to work for simple operations, but I have not been able to simulate a situation where the command button on one form will show the animation form, run some code and then hide the animation with one click.
In Excel 2013, there is a transition in the cell when values change. I have a DDE feed updating data every few seconds and the folding animation is distracting. Is there a way to turn this off?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an MS Access query that contains a parameter. The parameter is a date field, and I have configured that in the Access query. If I run the query within the MS Access user interface, it prompts me for the paramater value as expected, and runs just fine. However, I want to connect to this query from within Excel as a data source.
I have created a connection to the Access file using ODBC from within Excel. In the MS Query window, I am merely selecting all of the fields resident in the MS Access query, and returning all values. In other words, there is no selection criteria in the MS Query. I have done this many times with Access queries that DO NOT contain a parameter, and everything works fine. However, in this instance, I need to pass a parameter through to MS Access in order for the query to run. At the moment, I get the "Too Few Paramaters...1 expected" error message. This makes sense, because I haven't figured out how to pass the paramater to MS Access.
Is there a way to structure this that does not involve VB code? If so, I'd love to know how. I have tried creating parameters in MS-Query with the same name, but although I get the prompt it doesn't connect with the Access query as the source for the parameter value.
If the solution requires using code, I'm good with VB Code in Excel...is there VB for Excel code that could make this happen?
Failing that, I guess there must be (I've seen a few in my search thus far) Access VB Code that can make this work. I'm very rusty using VB with Access, so this is my least favored solution. However, if this is the only option, keep in mind that I need to pass the paramater ultimately from a user who will initiate the process using Excel.
Need the query parameters which takes the date from the cell into the query. How should I modify my query if it needs to take the date from a cell?? The bold one date should be picked from one of the cell in sheet 2.

I have a csv file on another drive on the network that i need to query. I believe that ms query would be the best way. I know that a DSN needs to be setup but this macro will be used by various users who wont know how to do that. thus I would like to create one via VBA every time the task needs to be run.
I haven't a clue how to do this and i need it to be explained to me in general terms with words of one syllable!
I'm trying to query a query in Access 2003, from Excel 2003.
The query in Access looks like:
AccessQuery: [SELECT VBAFunction(field1) FROM Table]
The query in Excel looks like:
ExcelQuery: [SELECT * FROM AccessQuery]
I use the following VBA code in Excel to excecute the query:
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(cDataSheetName).QueryTables.Add(Connection:=strConnection, _
Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(cDataSheetName).Range("A1"), Sql:=strQuery)
.RowNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
iResultRowCount = .ResultRange.Rows.Count
End With
When I execute this code I get the error message 'SQL Syntax Error' (Error 1004). When I remove the VBA function from the query in Access, it all works fine.
I created an Ms Excel Database Query to bring in data from MS Access. (versions 2002 of MS Excel and Ms Access). The query works fine initially. I can right click, choose Edit Query and change my criteria. Results are returned almost instantly.
My problem is that, once I save the workbook, or autosave happens, I get an error when I right-click to Edit Query: This query cannot be edited by the Query Wizard..
Is it possible to set parameters on a query but use a wildcard to return all instances? I have a query that I want to be able to set multiple parameters on but give the user the ability to select as many or as few parameters as they want to see. 2 of the parameters are number fields and 2 are text fields with no spaces.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI wrote this VBA for a particular sheet:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("H5") = "Y" Then
Columns("L").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
Columns("L").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End If
End Sub
If the value of H5 is "Y" it hides column "L". It was working fine at one time. Then I wrote a bunch of UDF's at the workbook module level. I then went back it use the "hide" function and it didn't work.
I created a couple new worksheets in the same workbook, and the same VBA works fine on them. I created a copy of the "non-working" worksheet and added the VBA to the copied sheet and it fails to work.
If I create an error in the VBA (like: Column("L").EntireColumn.Hidden = True), I get an error when I change the (non-working) worksheet - so I know it is "trying to run", at least sort of.
I have written a number of UDFs, which work fine in my spreadsheet. Two of these are more complex, and I'm having a few problems...
When I run any VBA routine (i.e. control passed to VB), these two UDFs return #VALUE! errors, but I can't see why. As these are Functions, I can't think of a way to test where the error is being generated, like I would in a Sub
When I return to Excel, any recalculation fixes the problem, which makes me think something is declared incorrectly. All named cell references relate to other VBA functions, calling the relevant row / column numbers, and I think these are all correct. I've tried removing AS INTEGER etc, to avoid type mismatches, and adding APPLICATION in front of worksheetfunction...
Function precedentStart(Target As Range) As Integer
Application.Volatile
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("sheet1")
Dim splitPrecedent As Variant, lookupI As Integer, rowI As Integer
precedentStart = .Cells(Target.Row, colOrigStart).Value
splitPrecedent = Split(Target.Text, ",")
For i = LBound(splitPrecedent) To UBound(splitPrecedent)
rowI = WorksheetFunction.Match(splitPrecedent(i), .Range("schedRefs"), 0)
lookupI = .Cells(rowI, colAdjEnd).Value
If lookupI > precedentStart Then precedentStart = lookupI
Next i
End With
End Function
I can't seem to find an answer for this, but as an alternative, on Worksheet Activate the code runs and places a 1 in Range("A1") and therefore the next time the macro will not run.
This works fine for me, but just thinking if somebody who doesn't know why the one is in A1 and deletes it this macro will run again on sheet activate.
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Dim LR As Long
Dim rng As Range
If Sheets("Charts").Range("A1").Value = 1 Then Exit Sub
LR = Sheets("POD").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
With Sheets("Charts")
.Range("I129").FormulaR1C1 = "=ROWS(R1C1:R[-128]C[-8])"
Set rng = .Range("A129").Resize(, 10)
rng.Copy rng.Resize(LR - 4)...............
I created this spreadsheet to assist with pricing for my towing company.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a macro which filters data on one sheet and copies that data onto 34 new sheets . This works perfectly until the 25th pass when Excel advises that there is insufficient memory to continue. I assumed that this was connected to the clipboard and its ability to remember 24 chunks of data so I turned it off but still Excel gave up at the 25th pass. Is there a way that I can clear the clipboard during the macro's execution or is there something else going on?
View 7 Replies View Relatedwhy the On Error GoTo statement only executes the first time an error occurs in the following
On Error GoTo CubeNotFound
For x = 2 To TotalRecords
Cells.Find(What:=WSID, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
'Other actions are located here, but have been removed. These actions take place if the Find is succesful.
CubeNotFound:
Message = MsgBox("WS ID " & WSID & " was not found! Excel will continue with the next WS ID.", vbOKOnly, "WS ID NOT FOUND")

I have that statement there because if WS ID is not found then VB generates an error that the user won't be able to interpret, and also stops the code. I want VB to continue to the next record if one is not found.
Running Windows XP; Excel 2003
I have a fairly simply macro.
It copies certain sheets out of a workbook (for a new workbook)
Unprotect the sheets in the new workbook
Deletes a particular cell on each sheet
Unhides a sheet
Sets all of the new worksheets to normal view
Protects the new sheets
Lets the user save and name the new workbook.
All is working fine Except it will not change the new workbook from Page Break View to Normal view.
The code I'm using = Sheets("name").Activate
Activewindow.View=xlNormal
Here's the strangest part. When I run the macro from a command button, the newly created workbook retains the page break view (as is in the original).
When I run the macro line by line via F8, IT WORKS JUST FINE

I want to display a progress bar for when those macros are run.

Website has a URL where the last element is a number within a range (e.g. 1000 - 4000).
But the numbers are not sequential (e.g there are 100 pages, first URL ends "1001", last one ends "6000".
As shown below I set the code to cycle through every possible number:
VB:
For i = 1001 To 6000
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"URL;http://(whatever)" & i _
, Destination:="(Whichever cell the output starts in)"
Not the most constructive use of the national grid.
Is there a VBA that can check whether the URL "number" is genuine before doing anything else - and move straight to the next "i" if it doesn't exist?
When running the following code for NSLookup in a module within the current workbook, it runs fine but when I put it in a XLAM file and try and use it as an addin I only get #NAME? as a result. I believe that that addin is installed properly because I have a second module with a sub routine in it (GetIPStatus) that is working, and when entering the command =NSLookup(A2) in a cell it shows up properly like it's an available function, but it does not seem to execute. Do I have to do anything special for a function to run as an addin?
