View 5 RepliesI have an excel file stored on a network drive for the purpose of information sharing. (File protected with a password)
But some the guys leave the file open for quiet long time and hence I cannot open the file for updating the data.
-I need to have a macro that runs every 5 minutes and displays an alert message saying "Please close the File" as long as the file is kept open.
-A second macro with a modified version of the above to close the file automatically after 5 minutes from file opening time after showing an alert message "You cannot leave the File Open, File is Closed Automatically!"
I have found some posts about "Auto Saving" and Dave pretty much frowns upon that. But the program I use (via ODBC), for some reason doesn't see the changes I make unless the file is saved. I have it auto-saving right now, but was thinking, maybe it is better to export a copy.
What I would need, is the ability to take my current workbook and export it to a new file (overwriting that same file each time), and do this based on time or (even better) on a change in the data. My current workbook is set to pull from other CSV files, scraping our website, etc., and then I use Excel to format the data the way I want.
It would be cool, if I could export two versions each time too... one that would be like a archive of what the file was like when it changed, the other would be the one that just gets overwritten each time.
Love this site...tons of info...but dang am I not smart at this stuff. Half the time, I don't even get where to put the code...worksheet, module, workbook?
I am looking for some code to auto save my workbook into this location every 15 min,
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe below seems to work but I'm wondering if there might be a better way. I'm trying to keep an ongoing up-to- date and accurate time. my code is as follows:
Private Sub Workbook_Open() ' placed inside thisworkbook
Call TimeUp
End Sub
Sub UpdateTime() ' placed in module
If Range("A4") = TimeValue("00:00:00") Then
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:01:00"), "TimeUp"
Else
UpdateTime2
End If
End Sub
Sub TimeUp()
[a1] = Time
UpdateTime
End Sub
Sub UpdateTime2()
[a1] = Time
Application.OnTime Now + Range("A4").Value, "TimeUp"
End Sub
Does anyone know if there is any way to improve the Code or formulas within the Cells?
I am a truck driver and keep a record of my loading times when I am loading and unloading. At the end of a trip i transfer all the data to my computer, then "auto sum" the "HOURS" and the "MINUTES" columns. At the bottom of ech trip I end up with figures, lets say 32 (hours) in column "J" and 303 (minutes) in column "K".
Now 303 minutes is {5 hours and 3 minutes}. Now we all know that mathematically we can work out that {3} minutes is 0.05 of 1 hour and that would make the total time worked 32 (hours) + 5 (hours(from the minutes)) + the last 3 minutes and the total is 37 hours and 3 minutes.
What I am in need of is a formula that will take the hours in column "J" add the hours from column "K", leaving the minutes to be converted to 0.05, giving me a total in cell "M29" that can then be multiplied by the wage rate in cell "M30", giving me an amount that I should be paid in cell "M31"
I am trying to write an array formula that will work out how many minutes of tickets are open within a particular month. I have a formula shown on the first table which calculates how many minutes a ticket is open for within a particular month, but this only works for an individual ticket, Basically I neet to populate the 2nd table with an array formula that will calculate the number of minutes within the month that numerous tickets are open, effectively a SUMPRODUCT but I can't get it to work.
The right hand side of Table one doesn't exist in my main file, I am trying to populate the 2nd table using only the first four columns within Table 1.

Columns H and L have minutes. Currently, the formatting is Custom with 0#
Works fine if the minutes are like 06 or 43
Problem: 00
Excel is showing a single zero.
How can I get this to show the double zeros?
I have a spread sheet with a colum showing average time to complete a task. This is currently shown as Days:Hours:Minutes:Seconds (4:19:33:19). I meed it to be shown purely as minutes, or at least as hours and minutes.

I'm trying to convert 3786 minutes to day:hours:minutes. So divided it by 1440 which is 2.63... but I want this displayed in the worksheet as 2 days 1 hour and 3 minutes (02:01:03), I just can't seem to get it to work and it seems quite simple... but I'm missing something.... I was trying a custom format like dd:hh:mm or [d]:hh:mm and I was also trying a convert function and =day/1440+hour +minute
View 9 Replies View Relatedcreating a formula for converting time data that has been created in an excel spreadsheet in minutes i.e. 516 minutes which I need to turn into Hours and Minutes i.e. 08:36 I am not experienced using Formulas, apologies if this question has been posted before, I did use the search facility to look for threads, but could not find anything related
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a sheet where staff enter the time it takes to do a task. I'm using a custom format of [mm]:ss. However, I enter (for instance) 5 into the cell, the value becomes 7200:00. I finally figured out that this is because that is the number of minutes in 5 days. However, I don't want staff to have to enter 00:05:00 to indicate they worked for 5 minutes. I would rather them be able to enter something like 5:30 (or something along those lines) to indicate this took 5 minutes and 30 seconds.

I am attempting to take a large data download of time in hours and minutes and average or get the sum. Each cell contains hours and minutes in this format:
203:30 (meaning 203 hours and 30 minutes)
196:05
72:22
6:55
I have formatted the column in everyway I can think of from custom hh:mm to time, to scientific--I have grasped at each straw I have used the TRIM function to ensure there is no leading space. When I attempt to average I receive the #DIV/0! error, and when I attempt to use SUM, I get a dash (-).
I have been researching this on the internet, and have tried everything that is slightly applicable, with no luck yet. I am wondering if it is because the hours are more than 24, so the hh:mm format does not truly apply...
I am trying to set up an macro that runs when a workbook opens
I have placed the following code in the This Workbook Object
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Test").OnEntry = "Every_Update"
With ThisWorkbook
Application.OnTime Now, "'" & .Name & "'!" & .CodeName & ".Workbook_Open2"
End With
End Sub
I am tyring to instruct Excel to run the macro "Every_Update" every time an entry is made in the worksheet "Test". This seems to fuction.
However, I have other code that I am tring to run in a a macro called "Workbook_Open2"
That macro contains functions that are not yet loaded into Excel during the Auto open sequence. I was hoping that by calling the subroutine, it would allow the functions to be enabled. Basically the function that I a trying to get is to open up another excel file and read a cell.
The code above gives me an error - it cannot find "Workbook_Open2" Should this not be in a module?
i am trying to run a macro automatcially when the workbook opens.

If i have a userform: frmUpdateInfo
How do i have it auto open or at least be ready for use when going to a particular sheet in a workbook (Sheet name: "Matches")
I have a excel file in which , there is probably a macro which runs when i open the file. The macro checks for a particular file on the D: drive.
I want to delete this macro. The problem is i cannot delete this macro, as it is not appearing in the Macros List.
Also i know i can disable this macro, by pressing the shift key whenever the file is opened.
But i want to delete this macro permanently from this file. I have tried various options like pression Alt-F11 & to locate the macro in module etc & also tried to locate it in the Workbook open event handler. But I cant see the macro.
How do i locate this macro & delete it.

I'm using Excel 2010
I have a worksheet with 10 columns, and an ever number of growing rows.
What I would like to do is to Sort Column 'B', along with all the
other respective data in the other columns, each time the spreadsheet
opens. I would prefer to use VBA or some other auto-launching event.
I am currently using this code to place names in a combobox (active X). How can I use an array to perform each line to all 12 months without repeating the code over and over?Here is what I have:
Code:
Sub auto_Open()
Sheets("FEB").ComboBox1.List = Array("ALL", "ACT", "ROF", "MM")
Sheets("FEB").ComboBox2.List = Array("ACTvsROF_2", "ACTvsPLN_2", "ACTvsLY_2", "ROFvsMM_2", "ROFvsLM_2", [code].....
I have a menu workbook with macro buttons that call different workbooks. Call the menu workbook (switchgear.xlsm). Switchgear contains 2 buttons. Button 1 closes switchgear and opens Book1. Button 2 closes switchgear and opens book 2.
If book1 is open and nothing has changed for 3 minutes I would like it to close and open switchgear.xlsm. I do not want it to just close in 3 minutes... I want it to close after 3 minutes of inactivity.
I have search all over and tried and tried to achieve this without success...
I have been able to get the timer to work but it gets caught in a loop. If I open book1 and close it in less than a min then 3 minutes later out of nowhere the code tries to run???
Secondly when this happens I see several book1 vba projects loaded in the editor window???
Need vba code to automatically open sheet one when a workbook is opened? At the moment it opens on the page on which the workbook was last saved.
I have built a complex vba & multisheet spreadsheet that I am looking to secure against all the common attacks. So I have:A Workbook Open pw;
VBA password (29 symbols/numbers/Caps/lower case)
Very Hidden worksheets
Hidden rows/columns
Restricted scroll areas
Workbook protection
Code that auto protects all sheets upon opening
Registry referencing in Workbook Open with timed closure if not matched
Now I am on the last leg of implementing protection against Application.EnableEvents = False; force enabling of Macros and hiding of toolbars, scrollbars etc... Phew.
Soooo, in my research, I have learnt that if EnableEvents = False, Workbook_Open is essentially skipped and the security VBA routines are disabled. To get around, I have copied the entire contents of the Workbook_Open routine to a module under Auto_Open. The first line of both these scripts is: Application.EnableEvents = True.
Works! So far so good.
However, I have a Msgbox prompt in the scripts that displays twice. So in essence, Excel is running Workbook Open first, then Auto Open second.
If I open another instance of Excel and run Application.EnableEvents = False first before opening my spreadsheet, I only get one message. So only the Auto Open script runs.
I am trying to create an Auto_Open macro that will check the date held in column I and if it is 60 days then it will leave it white.
I am trying to get my invoice sheet to automatically increment the invoice number when I open the workbook. I know it is in the code i.e. private sub? but it doesnt seem to work.
