Auto Run Macro When File Is Opened But Macro Stored In Personal XLSB
Mar 4, 2014
I am looking for a macro that i can store in my personal.xlsb. what i need is pretty much is something like this
private sub workbook_open
if workbook.name "inventorysummary.csv"
then application.run "personal.xlsb!capacity"
end sub
I only need it to run just for this file and i cannot place it in the file due to it gets replaced every day. Which if it didn't get replaced. I know how to do auto opens when the file stays the same I am just unsure for this.
I have created a simple macro that inserts a header onto a sheet on the first row of a workbook. It works fine when the macro is stored in the file that I am wanting to paste the header into, but when I moved the macro to my "personal" folder it gives me a debug error with this code:
I am assuming this error is being caused by the phrase "ThisWorkbook" but I do not know how else to reference the workbook I want to run the macro on.
Full Code:
Sub Insert_Header()Dim wb As Workbook'Open Workbook Set wb = Workbooks.Open("C:NewPage_Logo.xlsm", UpdateLinks:=False)    'Go out to File and copy logo and header Â
Set wbABC = Workbooks.Open("C:ABCwithMacro.xls") Call abcMacro 'this macro is stored in ABCwithMacro.xls 'error - sub or function not defined on 'call abcMacro'
I have a simple macro that's in my default Excel startup file (Personal.xlsb - located in the folder C:Documents and SettingsUsernameApplication DataMicrosoftExcelXLSTART).
The problem is when I try to open two instances of Excel (not create a new workbook). I get the error message "Personal.XLSB is locked for editing."
I've look at other threads that talk about adding the macro as an "Add-In" (Personal.xlsb and multiple Excel's), BUT my problem is that I want to assign the macro a keyboard shoutcut (currently set to ctrl + shift + v).
I don't know of a way to assign an add-in macro a keyboard shortcut.
I have a macro which opens two different hyperlinks in excel. Opened workbooks have are named like 1.asp and 2.asp. Both contains only one spreedsheet. I need to copy these spreedsheets to the Workbook, from which they are opened.
I have a special use PC which will power a projector 24/7. When it reboots I want it to load Excel, open a spreadsheet, and then connect to the web to get data using web queries.
My problem is that I get a dialogue box each time the spreadsheet is opened: "Enable Automatic Refresh." I need to remotely reboot the PC from time-to-time so I can't click the button.
I have set my security levels to low and that does not help.
I am trying to write a macro to transfer patient personal data onto a database.
On sheet 1 the user inputs the patient surname, forename, date of birth, date of test and the test results.
On sheet 2 is the database, where patient surname, forename and date of birth is stored in columns A, B and C respectively. The remainder of the columns on each row is available for scoring test results.
What I would like the macro to do is as follows: •Read the patient surname as input on sheet 1 •Check on sheet 2 if that surname already exists •If it does, check if the forename and date of birth also match to sheet 1 for that particular entry. •If a match is found then copy the test results into a column on that particular row. E.g. could be copied into column D. •If no match is found, then all the data is entered as a new row on the database (I’ve written the code for this bit but thought I should add it in for clarity)
This will then allow all test results for a particular patient to be read off the same row in the database.
This is the code I use to call a macro when the macro Im calling is in the same workbook.
[Code].....
However, I would like to call this same macro when using another workbook. I copied the macro "Clearformating" and pasted into a personal macro workbook module. However when I add this code to the sheet tab it will not run the macro.
Is It Possible To Auto Save To A File Via A Macro?
What I Want To Do Is To Auto Save Directly To A Folder On Our System Via A Macro.
The Problem Is That Firstly It Will Need To Look Up A Cell ( D8 ) To Find Out The Job Number
Then It Will Have To Find The Folder On Our System ( Its On Desktop Under Job File Folder ) Then Comes The Hard Bit It Will Need To Locate That Job Number ( Cell D8 ) To Look Up The Relevant Folder To Put It In. All The Job Files Are Labelled Up Eg.( J2663 - Parry ) Then In That Folder Is A Sub Folder Called Docs Which It Needs To Be Saved In
I have several macros set up as modules in my personal.xls. There is one particluar macro (for purposes here I will call it "SourceMacro") which I use repeatedly in other macros (also stored in personal.xls). What I have been doing is copying the code from SourceMacro and pasting it into other macros.
I understand that I can actually run the SourceMacro without pasting the code by using a run command. I have inserted the following code into one of my other macros, but get an error message saying that the SourceMacro can not be found. (I have checked spelling carefully.)
Run "Personal.xls!SourceMacro" Excel 2003 / Windows XP
I have (and will be) creating a number of macro in my personal workbook, a number of which will be run from within other macro also in my personal workbook. I am creating these to be distributed to members of staff within my work. This will be done by creating a template workbook for the job to be done, and e-mailing them all a copy. Now, I can not work out how to move the macro from my personal workbook into the new template so they can be run from there? Also, the macro that access other macro have a path to my personal workbook, will this be updated automatically when they are moved, or will I need to manually change them
I am just learning a bit of VBA and developed a macro that runs fine if I used it on any workbook but when I imported it to personal.xls and tried to run it, it runs on the personal.xls itself. I tried inserting a line that activates worksheet(2) but that didn't work.
In Excel I've always had a Personal file come up when Excel was opened. It may have accidently got closed??? The personal file does not open with Excel and I am unable to find it. It is required to run macros correct?
I'm trying to run a macro defined in my personal workbook, through a VB script, however I keep getting run time error code: 800A03EC. Here is the vbs I have written:
Code: Dim xlApp Dim xlBook Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application") Set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("C:Test.xlsx")
[Code]...
If I replace the macro PERSONAL.XLSB!FormatCurr with one defined within the worksheet, the script runs fine, but I can't have the macro in the sheet.
There are two macros that i'd liek to add to my personal macro workbook upon startup of excel.
i tried to do them without coding but it appears that some actual coding is necessary.
1) i'd like to be able to select any # of cells anywhere on the page and hit ctrl+shift + n and have all of those selected cells read #N/A (the forumula is =na() )
2) i'd like to be able to select any number of columns (i do finance/econ research so all data is in chronological order from 1960-present along the columns. i.e. each variable is a column vector.) and be able to hit ctrl+shift+b and have VBA make a chart in a new sheet with my default settings
i've tried to do these but recording the macro hard codes the select cells for 1) and always runs into weird problems for 2).
The following macro does what I need when run from the active workbook however I need macro to exist in 'personal.xls' so it can be easily applied to raw reports received in daily e-mails.
Sub Add_Sundays_Data() Dim bk As Workbook Dim bSave As Boolean Dim lRow As Long
On Error Resume Next Set bk = Workbooks("C:Template.xls") On Error GoTo 0 If bk Is Nothing Then bSave = True Set bk = Workbooks.Open("C:Template.xls") End If
I am having trouble renaming an active sheet from a Macro I stored in the personal.xls file. I want the active sheet to be renamed to "Data_Source" and then the rest of the code can kick in. Instead of renaming the current worksheet it creates a new one.
I want to run a program from my PERSONAL.XLS workbook, however, after a piece of code where I close all the open workbooks different from PERSONAL.XLS, the code stops running.
How can I contour this?
Down is the piece of code used to close the other workbooks and the msgbox I want to show, along with a DialogBox:
For Each W In Workbooks If W.Name ThisWorkbook.Name Then W.Close SaveChanges:=False End If Next W
MsgBox "Abrir apenas a Origem a actualizar, que deverá ser obrigatoriamente do mês corrente ou do anterior", _ vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Atenção"
I have a macro that works just find on my local machine. but it need to run from a network drive as several different people may need to access it.
A brief description of the macro.
The macro looks in an directory called unprocessed for any file named "*.csv" if the files are found it opens the file in excel and then copies data from that workbook to my workbook. after this the .csv file is closed (unchanged) and then it is moved to the processed directory.
Sub files() Dim directory As String, filename As String, sheet As Worksheet, i As Integer, j As Integer Dim filetype As String Application.ScreenUpdating = False
I have a macro that is designed to paste a row of formulas into each Subtotal line on a 30,000+ line spreadsheet. I have specified the formulas that I want to paste in the named range "formulas". The macro below worked fine for about 3000 lines, then threw the error Run-Time Error 1004: Paste Method of Worksheet Class Failed on teh line ActiveSheet.Paste. I thought it had just bogged down my computer, so I added teh ScreenUpdating and Calculation lines, but they made no difference. I also tried reducing the range to just a couple thousand lines, which also made no difference. I also have found some suggestions on this forum and others for this error.
In addition to it working fine for 3000 lines, then failing, there are a couple other weird things. One is that on the line in the spreadsheet that threw the error, the formulas were pasted in up to column AX, leaving columns AY through CR blank. The second odd thing is that this exact same macro still works on my sample data spreadsheet (which only has around 50 records).
Sub FormatTotalRows() Dim rCell As Range Application.ScreenUpdating = False Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual Workbooks("latest.xls").Activate Range("formulas").Select Selection.Copy For Each rCell In Range("A3040:A5000") If Len(rCell) > 0 Then rCell.Activate ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Select ActiveSheet.Paste End If Next Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub
An external program opens and closes Excel Workbook (OLE). What is the VBA code so when the WB is opened, Macro1 will run before OLE closes that Workbook?
