I have a shared document used by as many as 11 different people. right now I go into a document and save a copy each week in case one of them messes it up.
just curious if that can be done automatically.
I am looking for some code to auto save my workbook into this location every 15 min,
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was able to find the coding that I needed for being able to have a backup of my file. So when I save a workbook and close I also get a backup copy in another folder that is dated. But I am having problems getting the code to work. Probably because I do not understand it correctly. Here it is.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs "C:Documents and SettingsTeacherDesktopTEST" & _
Format( Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") & " - " & ThisWorkbook. Name
End Sub
Where it has, ThisWorkbook.Name, do I put the name of the workbook? Not sure.
I need a macro that will create a backup copy of excel file in other folder when an original file is closing.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to save an excel workbook when a "backup" button is pressed to a folder named "Backups". I want the name to be the "date" (09/07/2013) only and I want it to automatically overwrite anything previously saved for that day.

I have a training matrix. The following letters represent something F, P & S. and are placed in the matrix. On a seperate sheet I calculate these using the COUNTIF(B2:E7,"F") so on and so on. This is done because the matrix is quite vast and to sit and look through would take an age and I'm already nearly retired lol.
1st question:
Also in the matrix are dates when a student has finally passed a subject is it possible to use the same formula to calculate all these .
2nd question:
I also want to be able to record on a weekly basis how many new subjects have been trained out but don't know where to start . i would like a chart indicating for instance Week 1 5 subjects, Week 2 25 subjects. What i don't want to happen though is when you add Weeks 2 data for Week 1's to increase with it.
I am looking for a formula to calculate overtime on a weekly basis, entered daily, on a sheet with multiple weeks. It need it to calculate the overtime each week.

I assign tasks to different members of team by entering the assigned date in column next to the member names. Next week, say on Monday, I need to get total number of tasks assigned for each of the members till Friday (last working day of previous week!). I need to get this data every week.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a folder set up on a network drive which contains a workbook for each member of staff (approx 40) to track queries that they receive on a weekly basis Each one of these is called "Query database - Joe" for example. The queries are stored on a worksheet called "Query data" within this workbook and they need to be collated on a weekly basis on a Monday morning and cut and pasted into a master database worksheet again called "Query data" to then carry out analysis on these.
What I am looking to do is have a macro set up that will automatically cut and paste the data that has been input onto each individual worksheet into the master spreadsheet, starting from the next blank line. Each option I have found seems to be set to copy a specific range, or paste to the start of a worksheet each time, rather than finding all of the 'new' data that is there for that week and then adding it to the bottom of the master sheet.
Need the formula to enable a cell to automatically update the date on a weekly basis
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet on a server, password protected, and certain columns, rows locked...
This is shared with 6 others and can only be accessed one at a time.
If It so that when the user saves the spreadsheet it saves over itself on the server it's located AND on the individual users computer as backup; how would I go about doing this!?
I call the macro below from a Workbook_BeforeClose sub; however, if the user has not saved changes before they hit the close then the Sub SaveFile runs and then after the backup save they are then asked do you want to save changes.
I initially had this sub run with Workbook_BeforeSave, but I don't really want to run this everytime the user selects save.
Any ideas on how to how the save changes first and then the backup?
Is there a macro that automatically saves a backup of your spreadsheet every week?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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 need to create multiple copy of workbook from a named range called - CoCode - range is on sheet called - Data - cell range - L2:L37. Problem is that i want each workbook named as the name that is in cell range (CoCode). Also in same workbook in a sheet called - Company Summary , in cell J1 there is validation list that refers to range same (Codode) i want that to change in each workbook.
I.e 1st copy of workbook name is equal to 1st reference in range CoCode and same 1st reference in Validation list in - Company Summary - Sheet in cell J1. Also selecting Validation populates several sheets in workbook to information revelant to that company code selection in cell J1, - there are no external links to this document-
I've linked excel to a PLC pulse and download columns of data and these columns are updated live. I would like to copy the data in these columns every hour and paste values only into another spreadsheet for analysis. This will have to continue ongoing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using this code to create a backup copy of my workbook:
Code:
Sub DOUGHMON()Dim fname
fname = "C:UsersAndrewDesktopWEEKLY SALES REPORTS" & Format(Now, "dd mmm yy") & ".xlsm"
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fname
End Sub
The only problem with this code is that my current file gets closed and the backup is open. I'm not sure if that is exactly what happens, but when it is done the current file that is open is the copy, and I would like the original file to stay open.
I have a database (attached) that has data entered into the "Progression" sheet. This data is continually updated, and once each row has a section date, I have a macro that moves the data from "Progression" to the "Complete" sheet (and from there, into a specific month sheet). I AM REALLY CONCERNED with data accidentally getting deleted (especially when/after getting moved to "Complete"). I know that you can link cell values from one worksheet to another, but since my data is continually changing in the Progression and Complete sheets, the linkage wouldn't maintain the correct cell values from day to day. Is there a better approach to creating "backup" data in excel than this linkage option? Preferably something that runs in the background without my input?
An option could be that I move my data from Progression into both the Complete sheet and then a hidden "Master" sheet when I run the macro. If I chose that route, how would I modify my coding to include transferring to the Master sheet as well?
Lastly, a simple linkage between the Master sheet and another sheet in a second workbook should be sufficient as a backup method?
This is in Excel 2010
I have, what I believe a fairly complex request.
I have 3 fields that will be entered manually per row
Frequency in weeks = FQ Example FQ = 4 weeks
Duration in hours = DUR Example DUR = 3 hours
Start Date in Date Format = SD Example SD = 01/15/14
I have a series of columns starting at December 30, 2013. This represents the week of December 30th 2013.
It continues on until I hit the last week in December of 2015 which is 12/28/15
There are multiple rows with the 3 entries listed above (FQ, DUR & SD).
I need a function or macro that takes the Start Date (SD) for the specific row and finds it's location in the series of columns (for the example of 01/15/14, it would land on week 01/13/14). The program would enter the Duration (DUR) in that Column's Row (if that makes sense).
The program would then add the Frequency (FQ) to the Start Date (SD) and look for the next column (or Week) that it would fit in and once again enter the Duration (DUR) in that cell.
It would do this until it hits the 12/28/15 end date.
I have a Main Customer Spreadsheet. I want to Auto Populate FROM the Main Customer Spreadsheet to a New Spreadsheet. I want to be able to key in a customer name on the New Spreadsheet and take the info for that customer from the MAIN Spreadsheet and fill in the blanks. I need to be able to do this several times a day.

id is being repeated numerous times so i had to fill all the remaining fields also
this is done many time so i need a macro which can check the id match it upwards in the data and copy the 4 fields paste those copied fields in front of teh id which is being inserted.
In the attached workbook, the CASTINGS worksheet has a SOH ( stock on hand) column.
It looks up the SOH from the SOH worksheet (column 3) for each product on order for that week.
But how do I make week 2 use the SOH figure minus the previous weeks order, IF there was an order?
And so on until week 52.
The problem I have found is what if that product wasnt ordered for the last 4 weeks? Maybe I need a temp worksheet with all the products listed for all the weeks and a running total of SOH weather it is ordered or not?
I run a model in Excel that automatically saves my file every xx iterations. After saving the file I want to make a backup of the file. Tried
[Code] .....
but get a permission denied error message.
I don't want to use .SaveAs as it is a huge file that takes a while to save and SaveAs has a tendency to break links that should not be broken..
I wish to Automatically copy the TEXT that is written from Spreadsheet 1 cells D5 to F5 to Spreadsheet 2 cells F5 to J5 .... a similar range of cells.
Is there a formula I can use or do I need to venture into the programming side of things.
I have noticed that the basic problem I have is a common one on this forum with different varibles for different people. I have attached a dummy copy of the spreadsheet that I am using.
I need to copy cell information for one spreadsheet to one of 2 other spreadsheets depending on a dropbox condition. The master spreadsheet is the Issues spreadsheet, and depending on whether the user chooses Transferred Complaints or Transferred Offences (in Column K) I need to transfer certain cells to the Complaints or Offences spreadsheets.
The information I need to transfer from Issues is: .....
I want the user to save the spreadsheet before he/she logs off, and I think this needs to be a 'force save' rather than an option, just in case the user accidentally clicks on 'do not save'. Also, it would be really usefull to either prompt to save, or automatically save at intervals of maybe 30 mins or so.....
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a sheet which I would like to back up online every time it is saved.
I have a sub, OnlineFile(), which I have used many times without any problems, which creates a .BAT file to use ftp to upload files onto our server. As arguments, it takes the local file path that you want to upload (or download to), the name of the file as you would like it stored, the online file path, and whether you want to upload the file onto the server, or download it off the server.
It should be very easy to combine the two: what I tried was:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, cancel As Boolean)
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & "Rubbish.xls"
Call OnlineFile(ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & "Rubbish.xls", "Rubbish.xls", "wwwrootexcelfilesMasters", "Upload")
Kill ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & "Rubbish.xls"
End Sub
Every time I ran this, the file got uploaded correctly, but Excel had a series of problems. Often the code ran fine the first time it was run, but crashed the second time round.
After a fair bit of troubleshooting, I found that the problem came about when the file was trying to save itself - i.e. after the end of the sub. If you pause any macros from running, it still saved fine, but when the code ran, it found errors, froze or closed excel.
My thought at this point was that the code was fragmented or something. I made a new sheet, and retyped just the relevant bits of code (i.e. the BeforeSave sub, the OnlineFile sub and created the form called by OnlineFile). The problem persisted.
I've come up with a workaround for this now (which uses the same OnlineFile sub & form, and works fine), but it's driving me crazy - why does this cause excel to die? Particularly on the second time through? The code seems far too simple to cause such problems - is there a bug in Excel perhaps (I'm using Excel 2000 on Windows XP).
I'm trying to learn how to do auto sort. I Know how to do the custom manual sort but it is taking to long to do my spreadsheet every night. I love to play the greyhounds but to manually sort 18 columns a race with 15 races each night takes a while there has to be a easier way.
here a sample of what I'm trying to do. The columns are in two C-D E-F G-H I-J and so on. The rows here are 7-14 as you see I have to sort some high and some low. Is this possible to do a auto sort for each set of columns
C---- D----------E------F--------G------H--------I------J
BEST-------------AVG-------------EARLY-----------LATE
SPEED-----------SPEED------------SPEED----------SPEED
BOX--LOW-------BOX--LOW------BOX----HIGH------BOX--HIGH
1----31.3-------1----31.47----- 1-----87.55------1-------0
2----31.2-------2-----31.69------2---- 51.53------2-----(-1
3----31.85------3-----31.95------3-------0--------3-------0

Currently I am wondering if this is possible. I have a formula like,
=Total!O8+'Less-1.7'!O8+'Overall'!O8
In total, I have three spreadsheets by the name of that. Then I added a new spreadsheet called DummyTest. I wonder if I can make it so that this DummyTest spreadsheet will automatically go into the formula,
=Total!O8+'Less-1.7'!O8+'Overall'!O8+DummyTest!O8
My intention is to use the INDIRECT formula to put the spreadsheet name in a cell (refer to this topic that I posted earlier today - [URL]. The only problem is to get the formula to automatically add a new spreadsheet into it.
Note: The cell reference O8 is standard for all spreadsheets.
