View 9 RepliesI am trying to run a macro in the background. I have added the Application.ScreenUpdating = False (and True at the end) to my code but no luck.
View 9 Repliesi have written so code that opens a spreadsheet and runs some macro from the new speadsheet and copys info over to the other spreed sheet i have Application.ScreenUpdating = FALSE at the begininnig and turn it back on at the end but it still making the screen show everything can anyone help.
Sub save()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
ChDir "P:OFFICERiskOPTIONSOptions Control FunctionRisk Analysis"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"P:OFFICERiskOPTIONSOptions Control FunctionRisk Analysis emplate euribor risk module.xls"
Windows("Euribor risk module.xls").Activate........
I've been given a formula to use (embedded in an add-in that is password-protected). One of the parameters REQUIRES quotes.
The formula goes like this: =MYFORMULA(1,2,3,"ABC")
If I put ABC in a cell (say C5) and use the formula =MYFORMULA(1,2,3,INDIRECT(C5)), the formula doesn't work.
If I put "ABC" in cell C5, the indirect function still work make the function work.
Even if I have ABC in cell C5 and use =MYFORMULA(1,2,3,""""&C5&"""") or =MYFORMULA(1,2,3,""""&INDIRECT(C5)&""""), these won't work.
I wish I could just change the UDF behind this, but that isn't possible.
I am using the following code to turn off the screen updating during code execution
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Is there anything that would still show the screen updating desptite being set to 'False'?
For some reason Application.ScreenUpdating = False has stopped working for me.
For testing purposes, I have freshly opened Excel (2003 SP3) and into the brand new workbook, added the following macro:
*****************
Sub Test()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = 1 To 40
ActiveCell = i
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Next i
End Sub
*****************
When I run this macro, I see the individual values being written on the screen.
Stepping through the code and using Watch, I can see that Screenupdating is set to False by the first line, but as soon as the Activecell is changed, Screenupdating is reset to True.
If I turn events off by adding Application.EnableEvents = false to the start of the macro, all works as expected, however I do not want to use this "workaround" as I use event driven macros.
I've got a listbox which populates a second listbox from cells on a hidden worksheet which is done through macros. Every time I select a value in the listbox, the screen " flickers" to the hidden worksheet. I want to be able to do the whole process without that "flickering". I tried using Application.ScreenUpdating = False, but it still flickers. Have I overlooked something?
Sub GetStaffteamQuery()
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Dim sConnParams, sSQL As String
Dim dbFile, dbPath, dbName As String
ThisWorkbook.Activate
Sheet3.Select
dbFile = "CounsellorData.mdb"
dbName = "CounsellorData"
dbPath = Sheet3.Range("databaselocation").Value
selectedgroup = Sheet3.ListBox1.Value
If VBA.Right(dbPath, 1) <> "" Then
' if last char in dbPath has no slash.................
If I'm starting in Sub #1 and I have turned screenupdating off, then later in the procedure I call a function that also has screenupdating off (and also back on at the end of the function), will I get a slight flicker here? I'm noticing a slight one, and I can only imagine that it's where the screenupdating is being triggered again. (removing the updating from the function isn't an option, because another procedure calls the same function & needs it turned off)

I need to delete all the digits before / and also the / - in the valuta columns. But this =RIGHT(B2,LEN(B2)-6) doesnt work It says > the formula you typed contains an error
What am I doing wrong here. Some times if I do a =if( ) formula it doesn't work. For example, look at the attached picture. Cell K63 should say "End of Run". But it doesn't, What gives?
Also I have had before where i do =IF(X62>$O$2,"End of Run", 0) (and $O$2 =81) and the cell when X62 is 81, not greater than. I know I can to >=, but thats not what I am doing.
i got a long macro to delete all rows with contains a column with the value 'xx'. The macro works in sheet 2K, 2F and 1G. But the weird thing is it doesnt work in sheet 1K (i copied the exact same part of the macro out of the other sheets). Is it possible that there are to many rows in the sheet (sheet 1K has 24.000 rows, 50% or more will be deleted with the macro. The error says bug in the line: If Not rng Is Nothing Then rng.EntireRow.Delete It stops showing all the rows wich should be deleted.
Sub GrondeigenarenVerwijderen()
Application.Goto ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("2K").Cells(1, 1)

im trying to use below formula using SUM and two IF conditions and 1 left formula
Cond 1
Cond 2
Value
22
m9
10
23
m9
10
[code]....
the following formula works to capture the sum of combination 22 and m9:
{=SUM(IF((A2:A6)=A8,IF(B2:B6=B8,C2:C6,)))}
22
m9
20
24
m8
10
however, in my original table, the 22, 23 etc are values with 6 numbers as shown below
Cond 1
Cond 2
Value
2201
m9
10
2301
m9

following formula didnt work;
{=SUM(IF(LEFT(E2:E6,2)=E8,IF(F2:F6=F8,G2:G6,)))}
22
m9
0
23
m9
0
why the secund formula didnt capture anything when i added left to the first one.
I have below macro for Sheet2 and i have created a button on Sheet1.now whenever i press this button the macro will run and save Sheet2 as PDF file.
The problem is when i hide Sheet2 the macro doesnt work and it gives an error " Invalid procedure call or argument.
how to make this macro run even when the sheets are hidden ?
Sub PDF_Table()
'Sheet2.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$a$1:$x$140" '*****
'*** can remove the above line if sheet areas are already set and will not be altered
With Sheet2.PageSetup

I can't get this to work. What am I doing wrong? I keep getting a #VALUE! error.
=SUMIFS($G$2:$G$31,$L$2:$L$30,F37,$B$2:$B$30,G$36)
I want to sum the NUMBERS in golumn G if the DATE in column L matches the DATE in cell F37 AND if the TEXT value in column B is equal to the TEXT value in cell G36.
The answer is probably "because I'm stupid", but I really can't get my head around it! I'm playing with variant arrays for the first (and possibly last) time,
The code I have is:
Sub test()
Dim vSheetColours As Variant
Dim iCounter As Integer
vSheetColours = Range("Colours").Interior.ColorIndex
For iCounter = 1 To UBound(vSheetColours, 1)
MsgBox vSheetColours(iCounter, 1)
Next iCounter
End Sub
(Obviously this code doesn't do anything useful - but if I could get it to work, I might have a chance of making my real code work!)
Colours is a range of 8 cells. Each one has some text in, and has a different background colour. I'm trying to store the colours.
If I run this code, I get a runtime error 13 type mismatch, and it highlights
For iCounter = 1 To UBound(vSheetColours, 1)
But if I replace
vSheetColours = Range("Colours").Interior.ColorIndex
with
vSheetColours = Range("Colours").Value
it works fine.
This might be extremely easy, but why my Excel (nor Word for that matter) doesn't go to full screen anymore? I'm pretty sure that I haven't used any options, I do have a new graphics card, but all the other applications goes to full screen. I have restarted my computer. Basically I think that it's either some option, or then reinstalling Office.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a programme which works fine on my computer at home but when I send it via email to work the 'sort' function messes up (there is a chance it could be the 'vlookup' function, though) and all the cells in the sort range lose their formula reference - which is of course a tad annoying.
The part of the programme I'm having difficulty with is this:
Range("SsNo1").Resize(d, f).Offset(a, 0).Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("FRSet1"), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlGuess _

i use this to refresh webdata and copy cells:
Sub refreshAllQueries()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
Dim qryTable As ClsModQt
For Each qryTable In QueryTableListeners
If Not qryTable.qtQueryTable.Refreshing Then
qryTable.forceRefresh
DoEvents
Dim a As Long
i thought the 'application.displayalerts = false' would stop the pop up box that says something like ' this webquery returned no data,blah, blah' but it does not. trouble is it freezes the sheet until i click ok, but i want to be able to leave unattended. i have posted this before, but not with this code.

I always used Office 2003 .. I just installed Office 2007 to try it out. But everything doesn't work in Excel 2007, which does work in Excel 2003.
I added an example of the list, but here are the codes:
Sheet1
I have a workbook that I transfer back and forth from my desktop to my laptop, that uses Sendkeys to add code to the active pane in VBA. It doesn't work on my laptop, but works fine on my desktop.
Both computers have Vista. Is there a switch somewhere to make Sendkeys work?
I'm not sure why this macro in workbook "A" is not working when checking for the activesheet sheet opened in workbook "B"? I've included the tab name I'm looking for and the tab name opened in the workbook "B" in the MsgBox to verify it can pull the tab names properly in workbook "B" and it returns correctly. I'm not sure why the If Then Else is not working if that is the issue here.

Why doesn't a three column formula work?
Column C is Credit, D is Debit, E is Balance
I put the following formula in the Balance column
=E21+C22-D22
where the first term refers to cell immediately above. In other words, this formula takes the prior balance, adds a credit if any, subtracts a debit, if any, and gives a new balance.
The formula worked on the cell I put it in. It will not work when I copy and pasted it into the cell below the first one. Error I get is circular reference.
So, I'm trying to come up with a dynamic graph title. I highlight the graph title, go to the formula bar, and type:
Code:
=CONCATENATE(Sheet1!$C$1," All Servers")
"That function is not valid". Yet, the same function, placed in a cell, works perfectly. I suppose I could use an intermediate cell to hold the concatenated text and point the graph title to that cell, but I dislike having contextless cells like that floating around. Is there a way to apply that formula, or some other with the same effect, directly to the graph title?
I'm trying to create a code that autofills the next empty row in colum A with a number. What I have at the moment is:
'Create Index in Transaction list
x = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Value
Sheets("Transaction list").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) = x + 1
If I run this code in isolation from the rest of my code (which is copying and pasting values from one sheet to another) it works, but when I run the full code it only autofills the rows with "1".
I found the thread about how to get the second best result (=LARGE(range,2)) but that can't handle when I have ywo top values and a lower third value. It still return the next value after the top value, which is the same value. I want to get the next lowest vaule.
Example:
In this row:
7
7
6
5
5
4
I want to get the value 6 and the formula =LARGE(range,2) gives the second number 7.
How do I get the second value that I want?
Maybe if I use the RANK() formula in some way, but how?
