I have made an excel spreadsheet. The area with data exactly fills my screen.
When I send it to other colleagues, it perfectly fills their screen too. But for some colleagues the data area is either too big for their screen or takes up a small proportion of their screen based on their screen resolution. I would like the area with data to perfectly fill the screen of all people who will access the file.
I am thinking that I would do an automatic event so that I can change the settings upon opening the file. I have Excel VBA programming for Dummies which explains about automatic events but I have no idea what sort of sub procedure to use.
I have an Excel based application that needs to run with a screen resolution of 1024*768 in order to display correctly. Is it possible to use VBA to detect the users screen resolution. Then: If the screen resolution is not set to 1024*768 then resize Excel's main window to run at that width and height?
I want to make a macro that will generate a backup copy each time the Excel file is opened. I premade a backup and recorded the following macro, placing it in the sub here:
Code: Private Sub Workbook_Open() ChDir "C:Usersmy.selfDesktop" ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _ "C:Usersmy.selfDesktopDaily Backup.xlsm", _ FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled,_ CreateBackup:=False ActiveWorkbook.Close End Sub
names have been changed to protect the innocent. But now either putting in to repoen the original working excel or manually opening it puts me in an infinite loop of backing up. The probelm seems to be that to make a copy it is making the open workbook the backup. So two part question here:
1. Can I make a copy under the same name automatically when the file is opened while staying in the current one? Example: open the Excel file "Working Copy", which makes a mirror file called "Backup Copy", but stay in "Working Copy".
2. From what I did manage to do, I notice every time it asks if I want to overwrite. I chose "Yes" when recording the macro but this doesn't seem to get captured. can I make it automatically yes without being asked?
I have a report with graphs and slicers and I have a 22 inch monitor. All of the graphs and slicers fit on my screen size but when others open it everything doesn't fit because they have a smaller monitor. Is there a way to auto adjust the report to adjust to individual screen sizes. I want the data from A36-V36 to fit on the screen at the same time. Not sure if this is possible though.
I have a great bit of code for a spreadsheet I'm working on by a board regular called Norie;
The code is;
Code: Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) If ActiveSheet.Name "ThankYou" Then Worksheets("ThankYou").Visible = xlSheetVisible Application.Goto Worksheets("ThankYou").Range("A1"), True Cancel = True UserForm1.Show
[code]....
When I open the workbook it shows for about 1 second another sheet in the workbook rather than just instantly showing the "START" tab. Is there any way to get over this to make this code 100% perfect?
I just really would love upon opening this workbook for the sheet that 1st comes into view to be the START SCREEN TAB, without any flash preview of another sheet.
Entering a formula which will allow me to expand my data set by interpolating between sets of x,y values. My data set is in 5-minute resolution and I would like to interpolate so that I can output a new set of x,y values in 1-minute resolution. Here is my example of what I have and what I would like my end result to be, and also I have attached a sample of my data set in the below excel file:
Original data set Date TimeTemperature oC 6/12/13 13:30 18.28 6/12/13 13:35 17.9 6/12/13 13:40 17.9
Desired data set Date TimeTemperature oC 6/12/13 13:30 y 6/12/13 13:31 y 6/12/13 13:32 y 6/12/13 13:33 y 6/12/13 13:34 y 6/12/13 13:35 y 6/12/13 13:36 y 6/12/13 13:37 y 6/12/13 13:38 y 6/12/13 13:39 y 6/12/13 13:40y
When I attempt to open a file I get a blank screen. If I try to close the window it asks if I want to save the file so it is must be open but not visible. Have I inadvertently clicked on an icon with which I am not familiar?
I am running a script that populates about 70 or so workbooks based on information from the database. Naturally this script is quite slow but what seems to take the most time is opening and closing workbooks. Is there a way to "hide" the workbook opening/closing operation on the screen? I have tried using the
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
this sped the code up but you still see the workbooks opening on the screen.
Is there a way to set Excel to only print rows that have data in them? I have an end user spreadsheet where the number of rows they have each time differs and I don't want them to have to manually set the print area each time.
On my billing/table of contents sheets, there's an imaginary thick blue line that surrounds the bottom/right side of my chart, and everything outside it is grey/non-existent. I can click and hold this blue line to expand it over other cells to make them 'appear'. I have no idea what all of this is called.
The amount of columns I use for each sheet is static, but the amount of rows varies with each job. As it stands, I have to raise/lower that blue line every time I have new data. Is there any way to force this line to move up or down depending on the existence of data in cells automatically?
I have a number of cells where I've put to wrap text, but the cell size is not adjusting when I type past the size of the cells, how do I get the cells the get bigger automaticly to fit all the text but bigger in height not length?
I have a need to open a file from my companies intranet. My current method was to open said file via the method that the recorder gave me. However, I would like ot be able to open a said file without having to start open another workbook.
This is the path: [url]
So the command is this: Workbooks.Open [url]
Links are not actual links
So what I need to know. Is how can I open this file without opening a workbook. I haven't been able to use the VB "Open Statement" to open a file and I don't believe that I've been successfull using the Filesystem object either.
I have a file that I save with a new version number each time I make major changes. The file name currently is: "Telephony Equipment Inventory v26 (Summary).xlsm". The "26" is the variable number. give me the vba code to ensure I open the file with the highest version number?
I have attached a code that prompt the user for a store # then that number would automatically copy to cell A1 and at the same time it saves the file name as what is copied to A1.
This is a good code but the problem is when the file is closed and re-open, it prompts the user again for a store number and when you select 'Cancel' it replaces the store# already stored in cell A1.
What I am trying to accomplish:
1- When the file is re-opened, it should detect cell A1, if it's empty prompt user for store #, if it's not empty skip the prompt screen.
Private Sub Workbook_Open() var1 = InputBox("store#") Range("a1") = var1 var1_filename = var1 & ".xls" ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=var1_filename End Sub
I have the following macro that imports data from several input files and rearranges it in a master file.I want to change it so that I can use it in each of the input files. Therefore, it should look in the input file for Spreadsheet "XYZ" and rearrange it in Spreadsheet "Data".
I have a workbook template that will have multiple tabs. I would like to have it that when you open this workbook the date populates in A1 for each tab and is static. At that point they can save with another name leaving the template intact so when you open it again (on another day) it will populate with the current date. Is this possible and if so how?
I am trying to write a macro which does a screen print of a couple of sheets in a spreadsheet. I created the macro using the recorder function and then trimmed it down a bit. However, when I run the macro it pops up with the box asking for a file location, and this is not something that the recoder function seems to write into the macro. I am not sure how to have the macro autofil the file location for the screen print. Is there anyone out there who can give me a hand with this? Thanks. The code for the macro is below...
Sub ScreenPrint() Sheets( Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3")).Select Application.ActivePrinter = "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer on Ne00:" Selection.PrintOut Copies:=1, ActivePrinter:= _ "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer on Ne00:", Collate:=True Sheets("Sheet1").Select End Sub
I have an Excel Workbook with Showcase Queries embedded into it.
Upon a manual open, the user is prompted to either refresh data or keep data since last save, the user then has to enter a username and password to allow the query to access the database.
Using the code below to open the workbook, no such prompts are given. Is the code overriding the prompts and automatically refreshing the data without password? [Given nature of data, visual validation of refresh is not possible]
If not, how can we code a data refresh through showcase query with user/pw req's?
I produce a report each month that requires manual manipulation to get to the end result. Because I have yet to find a macro or formula that can assist me in reducing the data for what I am looking for

I am trying to do something simple but not quite sure how to do it. I am using the GetImportFileName and then selecting information of one sheet from that file and copying to another workbook. I need to know how to then get back to the file I have opened to search the next sheet and so on. The problem I have is with this line.
Workbooks(FileName).Activate
Sub GetImportFileName() Dim Finfo As String Dim FilterIndex As Integer Dim Title As String Dim FileName As Variant
' Set up list of file filters Finfo = "All Files (*.*),*.*"
' Display *.* by default FilterIndex = 5
' Set the dialog box caption Title = "Select a file to Import"
' Get the Filename FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(Finfo, FilterIndex, Title)
On one worksheet I have every day of the year (work day) and corresponding data for many topics for that day in the column.
On the other worksheet I want the user to type in a date and have the data for that day from the first worksheet display in a specific cell (based on the date entered at the top of the sheet) on the second worksheet.
I think it is some type of lookup formula but am not sure.
Enter todays date on one worksheet and have data display based on that date from a second worksheet. The data on the second worksheet would be manually updated every day.
I have a piece data acquisition hardware which stores data every 5 minutes into an excel sheet, I need to reduce the resolution of the data to every 30 minutes, currently I am doing this by deleting five rows leaving one and repeating the process, there is however 9285 rows I am assuming there is a macro which can do this far quicker than me.
1) We need the Input screen to auto clear the fields once the " Save " button has been pressed and data transfered to the appropriate tracking sheet
2) We want to ensure that if any of the Red cells are empty the " Save " button will give an error ( one complication If the "Transfer Type" highlighted in Blue has an entry " either STD/ISD/ESP " then " Call Purpose " needs to be mandatory
3) somehow the information on the "Comment " field is not getting captured
4) If possible we want a warning indicator if two rows in a tracking sheet ( example London ) are the same based on Coloums B to I ( except C )
5) Is there any possibility to give a pop calender in the " scheduled date " section of Input screen (Row 33)
I have some VBA code that allows the user to open a linked powerpoint presentation from an Excel workbook. It works well but it does not ask the the user to update links so if the Excel book has changed the powerpoint stays the same. I am very new to VBA so I tend to copy things that work but don't always know why! Anyone out there know how to get it to update links automatically or at least ask the user to do so? Here is the code:
I would like to open a certain file everyday. However each day this file is created and named with the date, for example Production_FixYYYYMMDD.csv, in VBA how do I accomplish this? The alternative I could think of is to create a .bat file to copy that file over to a separate directory and rename it Production_Fix.csv and just use that, but if that batch file fails to run that would cause issues.
