Are The Workbook Environment And The VBE Environment Simply Two Different Forms

Jun 16, 2009

1. Are the Workbook Environment and the VBE environment simply two different forms? Meaning, when I press alt+F11, am I just switching between 2 default forms?

2. Is Excel itself written in VBA? And if it's written in VB or C, which would make more sense, is the GUI side of things written in VBA?

The reason I ask is pretty simple. I really love the way the Workbook environment and the VBE environment are set up. I want to use them as models for my own forms. Both environments seem little more than two very complex forms. And I want to replicate so much about them.

3. But is it possible to replicate anything I see as part of these environments in my own forms?

For instance, what is the VBE Project window? Is it a ListBox? I need to code a form that does something very similar to the way it groups and collapses Projects and their sub-groups like Microsoft Objects, Sheets, ThisWorkbook, etc. I've used grouping to make rows and columns collapsible. But never items in a ListBox... But am I right to assume that I can do so, just because Excel's environment does it? Meaning, can it be assumed that anything I see Excel doing itself, a talented programmer can replicate in forms of his own?

Including Environment Username In Cell

Feb 1, 2006

I have searched the forum several way to resolve my issue and the only solutions were as follows:

PHP
Public Function UserName()UserName = Environ("username")UserName = Computer("UserName")End FunctionOption ExplicitFunction NetworkUserName() As StringDim responseNetworkUserName = Environ("Username")End Function 

Problem is that I get a #REF! and #NAME? instead of the user names
I am using Excel 2000 (I can not upgrade, Government PC) plus we need it to support Excel 2000 - present versions.

Stopping A Routine In A 'before Save' Environment

Feb 15, 2007

I've wriiten the following routine :

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
' Unhides all columns prior to saving

ActiveSheet. Unprotect password:="test"
Cells.Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True, password:="test"

Response = MsgBox("Have you considered all the items on the checklist?", vbYesNo)

If Response = vbYes Then

Go_To_Checkbox

I want the routine to stop without saving (after running Go_To_Checkbox) if the answer to "Have you ticked the checklist checkbox?" is 'No'. I know the 'Stop' function will do it but I just want to exit the routine without saving, rather than the routine stopping and calling up the Visual Basic editor.

Flexibility- Allowing My Macro To Run In A More Global Environment With Varying Data-set Lengths

Aug 27, 2008

I'm having difficulty allowing my macro to run in a more global environment with varying data-set lengths.

For example:

Though the following "copy" scenario works for me when my data set is contained within cells B2:B35:
Range("A2:A35").Select
Selection.Copy

It does not allow me to work with a set of data that extends beyond this--say to B50 or B60. Is there any way to allow this command, and others, to be a bit more flexible with my data set lengths?

Edit Excel Formula Links To Use Environment Variables Instead Of Static Absolute Paths

Sep 30, 2013

Is there a way that formula links in spreadsheets can use environment variables to reference formulas in other spreadsheets/addins?

For example, I have a spreadsheet that imports templates which call functions in an addin. The spreadsheet, templates and the addin could be installed into either the 'Program Files' or the 'Program Files (x86)' folders.

I am experiencing issues with the formula references when moved between 32 and 64 bit computers since Excel seems to store the full path of the addin in the Excel formula (even though it hides it when the reference resolves its path) in my templates. I would like to update the references in my templates so that they use an environment variable (set by my software installer) to always know the correct path of the addin.

In Excel 2003, spreadsheet links are edited via: 'Edit'->'Links'
In Excel 2007 and higher,'Data'->'Edit Links'

Only Simply Vba Key Trapping

Mar 23, 2007

I only want to do a "macro" in VBA that must do two things
record the keys pressed (during only 5 minutes)
and save the results in a text file

It is the only code in VBA I try to write

I found public documentation (legal stuff I mean)
about GetKeyState

I have snippets of code for save data as txt file

But I don't succeed in finishing the all code.

My purpose is to show to my daughter in law that if she doesn't respect rules
on the net, I'm able (but I don't want to really do it, it's just a threat) to know what she's doing.

If I want a real keylooger, I've downloaded one on the net.
I haven't done that and I don't want to.

I don't think a vba code with
the function getkeystate and Open file (an only that)
is a danger.

Error, #DIV/0!, How Do I Make It Simply Say 0 If It's Truly Zero

Oct 12, 2009

I'm trying to put this formula into cell B31...

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-2]C/R[-1]C"

Current value of B29 is "1"
Current value of B30 is "0"
Result in B31 after formula is "#DIV/0!"

Mathmatically, the result should be "0"

I read Excel's help and it said something about putting this in...

IF(B31=0,"0",B29/30)

which I tried to, but it's giving me other errors.

How can I get cell B31 to put in a "0" if either B29 or B30 have a zero in their cell?

Is there any way to avoid entering the hour each time but simply minutes and seconds?

There are others like this that I need to do too so I need to learn how to do it. Not just have someone do it for me.

ALSO as you can see this sheet displays #N/A all over the filled in cells... I would like them to be blank until I enter some pertinent info... I tried this is cell m7 BUT as you can see in m12 it goes back to the N/A

Test And Sum The Same Range Of Cells In Each Sheet By Simply Coping And Pasting The Formula

Feb 2, 2010

On Sheet1, Row 2 I have my columns named January-December, which correspond to the names of the other 12 sheets in my workbook. I want to test and sum the same range of cells in each sheet by simply coping and pasting the formula. I am using INDIRECT and SUMPRODUCT, but is there a better way? It seems to have caused the sheet to run slowly. Perhaps it's just the amount of data. Here is an example of the formulas I am using:

=SUMPRODUCT((INDIRECT("'"&B2&"'!$B$3:$B$200")=$A$2)*(INDIRECT("'"&B2&"'!$C$3:$C$200")="Yes")*(INDIRE CT("'"&B2&"'!$E$3:$E$200")))

This gives me the intended result. B2 in this case is January. C2 is February and so forth.

Resample Data: Total Number Of Points Reduced By Averaging The Data Not By Simply Deleting One Of Every Four Rows

May 16, 2006

I have several files of data that are from a data logger. The data is broken up by day. Each day has roughly 43000 rows of data, at its sample rate. This has made charting the data a nuisance. Is there a way to resample the data so it fits in the 32000 points excel can chart? In the future I will set a sample rate that will keep the number of points below the 32K per series. I would like to be able to have the total number of points reduced by averaging the data not by simply deleting one of every four rows.

I would have like a chance to be able to remove the apparent potenitial dangerous problem from the thread below and not close it after 10 mins. I'm not on the site permenantly and keep dipping back in eveynow and again. I dont know what the issue is as when I open the file up I dont get any error messages. I have tried this on my machine using Office 2003 and Vista also another PC using Office 2003 and XP

The only error I get is a message saying Disk or Network error, when testing it on the XP Machine this is because doesnt have access to the Database it sends the data to.

VBA Report With Forms

Dec 5, 2009

sometimes pivot tables won't give me the details I want the way I want. any time my boss asks me for a monthly report I have to do everything manually from the pivot table and insert the data on another table where I put the filteres data. I want to be able to get a monthly sales report per store that will populate itself in a daily basis, I also want to be able to select a store, style, size and date from a form in Excel and see the report in a sheet. Aproblem that I have found in order to use the size as a parameter is that the size comes in the same line as the item description and do not know how to make excel to check just for the size in the description field.
The attached file contains sales data for a better understanding of my case.

Combobox In Forms

Oct 13, 2008

I have created a form which is called up via a macro and then shows a combobox which contains the names of the worksheets in the workbook.
I am trying to enable the user to select one of the worksheet names from the combobox and then store that name (the book does not have fixed sheet names) and continue with the original macro using the stored name.
I just can't figure out how to use the selected name in the original macro.

Copy User Forms

Nov 7, 2008

So I have a work book with a number of user forms. One form I have completed has several navigation buttons (previous, save, next......) a couple of drop downs and a "tabbed" (pages) area with a text box on each. I think I finally have it looking (and working) the way I want. The issue is I need 12 more that are Identical (different text - but layout and code is the same) To make them look and work the same how can I copy the one I have correct? Is Export/Import the way to go? Does that bring all the code?

User Forms / Menus

Nov 21, 2006

I am trying to graduate out of the crayon age of menus on a worksheet, to using a User Form Menu. Problem is, I don't understand how they work. I've created a test program using a simple form with an option button, a combo button, and a command button. The goal is if the option button is true, it places the color selected in the combo button on the worksheet. Here is my code, what am I missing to make it work?

Corrected code from my original request

Dependent Drop Down Forms

Aug 12, 2007

I am trying to put together two combo boxes, Combo1 and Combo2, the content of Combo2 will depend on the selection made in Combo1, for example Combo1 will have 10 items, once an item is selected Combo2 will have different sub selections relating to that item. I know you can do this via Validation, but the problem with that I have about 4000 options in the combo1 and about 60000 in the second, here is the structure of my data:

First Option /Second Option
Option1_____1.1
Option1_____ 1.2
Option1_____ 1.3
Option2_____ 2.1
Option2_____ 2.2
Option2_____ 2.3
Option3_____ 3.1
Option3_____ 3.2
Option3_____ 3.3

My ultimate final result should look like this, two drop down menus once Option1 is selected second drop down form should display these options:

Option1 /_____ 1.1
____________ 1.2
____________ 1.3

Forms - Scrollbars & Multipages

May 8, 2008

1) I have a scrollbar that gets set to UserForm1 height.... yet, if the form is taller than the page, it won't let me scroll down past what I can see on my computer screen... what would be the cause of that? I get a blinking black light on the scroll bar as well so there must be something I need to fix with that

2) In UserForm1, I have a multipage form with a page called Accounts... I am adding check boxes to it with code... right now it is adding it to the far left in UserForm1... what is the syntax to run my check box loop to populate the Accounts page in the Multipage form?

Buttons Code For Forms

Nov 15, 2008

I've been creating forms/questionnaires, customer satisfaction type tings with Excel after I discovered that the previous ones were done on paper and it’s now my job to crunch the numbers for a report.

While I've been off learning how to do this in a suitable way for the office I work at, I've been neglecting the stack of papers from previous customer satisfaction surveys that are building up on my desk, about 200

So now rather than do what I think everyone else would do and make up the numbers. I thought I would just make a excel book with buttons for all the possible options on the survey and click them as I look through the papers.

So I need to learn how to make a button that, when clicked it would add a number to a cell. So if I clicked it 10 times, that cell would show 10.

so I can make the form with the buttons, what code/formula will I need to assign to the button to make it +1 to say, sheet2 A1?

Exporting Forms To Word

Mar 16, 2009

I have spent a long while trying to figure out what i'm sure is a very simple problem. I have searched the archives and found nothing to specifically address my question.

Basically I am trying to export the data entered into an Excel form into the fields of a Word document template, so that i can print it according to a particular design.

I have managed to write the code successfully enough that the data is transferrred across to the right fields in Word, but I can't seem to work out how to transfer the subsequent rows. It is currently only exporting the second row (after the header).

Could anyone possibly look at my code and tell me how i can export the new values every time they are entered in the form and not just the first line?

Private Sub CancelButton_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub
Private Sub Save1_Click()
Dim iRow As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("RA")
'find first empty row in database
iRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 2) _
.End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row

Forms Toolbar - Textbox

Sep 15, 2009

I'm using forms toolbox to add textboxes on an user input sheet for my workbook.

There would be 3 textboxes included in the group box added to the user input sheet.

I'm struggling with the code to accomplish the following:

Textbox1 - is a % input. I would like the input to be formatted to 2 percentage points. In other words, if someone enters 2, it will show as 2.00% and I want the 2.00% to be recognized as such in the spreadsheet calculations. In other words, the input is used in the calculations in another sheet.

Code thus far (and I may be offbase on this):

Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("rate").Value = TextBox1.Value
End Sub
Problem - the cursor is not moving and the result of the input is not showing. I would like the cursor to move from textbox1 to textbox2 to textbox3 by tab or enter button.

Textbox2 - is decimal input. I would like the input 5, it will formatted to show as 5.0. This input is used in the calculations in another sheet.

Private Sub TextBox2_Change()
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("multiple").Value = TextBox1.Value
End Sub

Textbox3 - is a result box based on the inputs from textbox1 and textbox2. I would like the result to be shown to the user in this textbox3 and for it to be greyed out and not to accept any inputs from the user.
That is, it is not an input box but rather a results box.
