My workbooks contains 2 worksheets with data and autofilters on for each column in use.
When my workbook opens I am trying to reset the autofilters of each worksheet in the workbook and to filter the data according to one criteria in one column.
This is what I have that works to reset each worksheet but I haven't been able to figure out how to subsequently filter each worksheet.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each w In Worksheets
w.Unprotect
If w.FilterMode Then w.ShowAllData
w.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _
, AllowFiltering:=True
Next w
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
The autofilter sits in A3 to N3 and I am trying to filter according to column M (i.e. 13th column)
How do I run this I can not get it to work I keep getting errors this is the way I have it for now.
Private Sub ThisWorkbook_Open() MY_MONTH = Month(Now()) + 5 With Sheets("Master List") .Unprotect ("123") .Columns("A").Locked = False .Columns("A").Hidden = True .Columns("T:IV").Hidden = True .Rows("265:65536").Hidden = True .Columns("E:Q").Locked = False .Columns("E:Q").Hidden = True .Columns(MY_MONTH).Hidden = False .Columns(MY_MONTH - 1).Hidden = False .Columns(MY_MONTH - 1).Locked = True Dim ws As Worksheet For Each ws In Sheets([{"JAN","FEB","MAR","APR","MAY","JUN","JUL","AUG","SEP","OCT","NOV","DEC","2008","Read Me","Record"}]) With ws .Protect ("123") End With Next End Sub Compile error: Expected End With
I've created an add-in that runs a simple macro. The problem I have is that when I run the add-in it opens the workbook I originally created it from - is this what I should expect it to do? How do I stop this from happening?
Also, do I need to have the workbook from which I created the add in located in the same place on every machine I want to use the add in on? At the moment if I move the original workbook the add-in won't work.
I have a workbook on a share drive that is used by multiple people. In the event that someone leaves the workbook open after using it, I have a timer function that pops up a splash screen after 4 minutes of inactivity which states, "This workbook will close in 1 minute if there is no further activity". If there is no further activity in that minute, the workbook closes.
The code works fine...unless the workbook is manually closed in that minute between the splash screen and when the timer would have closed the workbook. If that happens, the workbook closes normally and then briefly reopens and closes a minute later when the timer would have closed the workbook. Is there any code to prevent this?
I have the following code in a module that I would like to initiate when the workbook opens:
Code: Private Declare Function GetComputerName Lib "kernel32" _ Alias "GetComputerNameA" ( _ ByVal lpBuffer As String, _ ByRef nSize As Long) As Long
Public Property Get ComputerName() As String
[Code] ........
In a worksheet, I have =compname() in cell A1 and =hdserialnumber() in A2. What is the trick to make the values in these cells appear as soon as the worksheet opens?
I need to set the "Sheet1" to be the sheet that always displays first, regardless of what sheet was active when last saved.
The reason is that I have a sheet with instructions on it as how to use the Workbook, including "You must Enable Macros" etc. When Macros are enabled, it's all good, as most people use a USERFORM which I have coded to set "Sheet1".Select and save their work upon closing using the USERFORM.
BUT when the advanced users modify other Sheets directly without using the USERFORM, and "SAVE" and then "Close" , the next time a user opens the Workbook (If they do not enable Macros) it opens to the sheet the advanced user Saved on. Thus killing my instructions page and putting the exact people I did not want messing around on certain sheets, on those sheets, fully bypassing the USERFORM created to avoid the problem.
I can force the workbook to switch to "Sheet1" and Save and Close, every time someone closes or EXITs, BUT I quickly realized when testing that any mistakes made are then permanent because you cant EXIT without Saving.
So. Is there a setting somewhere (Not Requiring Enabled Macros) to force a Workbook to ALWAYS open "Sheet1" first, regardless of what Sheet was last saved in the Workbook?
I have written a very basic Macro code to retrieve a photo off of my server. I want it to run this macro when a person has selected a certain item off of a drop down list. The problem I am having is that when I try and run the macro manually or when the workbook opens I get a an error message that reads "Compile Error: Invalid outside procedure". I click "Okay" and it highlights this portion of the code
I have a workbook where the sheets are all protected and I want to stop users scrolling up or across beyond the limits of the input areas. I have used the following code (or variations of)...
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() Me.ScrollArea = "A1:G32" End Sub
This works fine except that when I first open the workbook, the first sheet displayed can still be scrolled. As soon as you move to another sheet and then back again, it is then OK.
It appears that the Worksheet_Activate code does not execute when the workbook is first opened.
I am trying to find a way to automatically do a query and dump the data into a sheet when a previously created workbook is open. I know how to get the data (use the Tools, Import External Data option to retrieve data from Access) but what I don't know is how to make it do it automatically when the workbook is open.
I have a work book that contains 10sheets. considering one as main sheet remaning as sub sheets. I want to open main sheet from all other remaining sheets using a common button.when I tried normally is shows compile error: Ambiguous name detected. Any other way to solve it.
I have a problem, where every time I close or open any workbook, Excel prompts me to "Enable or Disable Macros" in one particular workbook, wether I have tried to open it or not. In the said workbook, I have a macro that automatically updates a pivot table upon selecting the worksheet where the pivot table resides.
The code for it is as follows:
Sub UpdateIt() Dim iP As Integer Application.DisplayAlerts = False For iP = 1 To ActiveSheet.PivotTables.Count ActiveSheet.PivotTables(iP).RefreshTable Next Application.DisplayAlerts = True End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() Call UpdateIt End Sub
There is something in the code that calls UpdateIt any time a workbook is opened, closed or selected.
I am trying exactly the same things stated in here Open two workbooks at the same time as stated in the other thread's answer I would love to "just use the Workbook name IF both Workbooks are in the same folder." both files are in the same folder and this is the code that I am trying to use
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Workbooks.Open ("toto1234.xls")
and it does not work any one explain me what I am doing wrong?
I'm trying to introduce some VBA code to an existing workbook that will automatically sort column A alphabetically on Sheet 2 (Summary) (excluding rows 1 & 2 as they contain headings) whenever the workbook is opened.
At the moment this code doesn't automatically run and when I run it manually I get a run-time error '91' the first time I try and when I run it for a second time (again manually) it works.
The code I've got at the moment is:
VB: 'The following code will run the sorting subroutine when the workbook is opened: Private Sub Workbook_Open() Call SortByWave End Sub 'And this subroutine will enable the autofilter functionality, clear all existing filters and then filter the data on column A: Sub SortByWave()
When I open any saved Excel file the saved file opens along with a blank workbook titled "Book 1". How can I make it so when I open any saved Excel file it only opens the file I want and not a new workbook every time?
I have a program that uses the Document Open event to display a custom form. This program is being used on about 50 computers for the past 8 years with no problems. One user has a problem now. They can open the program once and the code fires. But when the user tries to open the same file a second time, the "Microsoft Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close" dialog box is displayed. The document that is recovered has no vba modules and no code in the Document open event. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office Professional. Shut down all firewalls.
I currently have the following code that copies a range opens notepad pastes the range opens save dialog and types the file name. The problem I have is with overwriting the existing file.
I'll soon have an ETL process that will load about 150K rows into an Excel workbook. On of the columns will be the end user's userid.
I need to autofilter that external workbook based on the end user's userid, copy that range, clear a worksheet on the current workbook, and copy that range to the current worksheet.
For example, see the attached workbooks. I need to replace the data in Source.xlsb!Cases with the data in Output.xlsb!Case_List, filtered on my userid, which we'll call foo.
I have a workbook of approx. 60,000 rows, with about 20 columns including a source identity column, such as 'Leeds' , 'Barnet' etc..
What i need is a solution that will auto filter all rows that have a value of 'Leeds' in the source column into a new workbook called 'leeds.xls' for eg. and so on (for each unique source value) and loop until the whole data set has been filtered.
Saves manually filtering, copying and pasting....over and over.....
Im guessing the VBA needs to build / look at an array etc...
I am looking for a way to search through several workbooks for a row containing the user's inputted data. I was thinking I could Autofilter each workbook but having trouble getting the code to reference a cell value in another workbook.
Sub Autofilter() Windows("file.xls").Activate With "Sheet1" .AutoFilterMode = True .Range("A1:EV1").Autofilter Field:=1, Criteria1:"Workbooks("reference.xls"). Sheets(1).Cells(A2)" End With End Sub
I would like to have file.xls Autofiltered by the value in cell A2 which is in workbook reference.xls. Am I going about this the wrong way? Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;Here is the code repaired so it doesn't through the syntax error:
Sub Autofilter() Windows("file.xls").Activate With "Sheet1" .AutoFilterMode = True .Range("A1:EV1").Autofilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=Workbooks("reference.xls").Worksheets("Sheet1").Range(A2).Value End With End Sub
But it still isn't working. Something is causing trouble at the With statement...
I have a workbook that is accessed through a network by many users. The one problem that occurs with certain users is that they leave the autofilter on when then are in the spreadsheet. It has an autofilter on each title, and the user initials are an option to filter...certain users leave the filter on when they save the sheet so the next time someone else goes in, it only displays the previous users results.
Is there a way to reset the autofilter for the user initials each time the sheet is opened?
I have a protected worksheet with some macros running on it, and I have been requested to make the workbook shared. Trying to implement this, I keep getting the standard "1004 You cannot use this command on a protected sheet" error when applying an autofilter.
Here is what is making this problem a little tricky:
- As the workbook is shared, I cannot do Protect UserInterfaceOnly because you can't change the protection settings on a shared workbook without unsharing it. Needless to say, I cannot unshare the workbook.
- When I protect the sheet, I do allow the user to use autofilter. Consequently, Sheet.Protection.AllowFiltering and Sheet.EnableAutofilter both are on. Still, I keep getting the error.
where shData is the codename of the sheet, lngField is the number of the field and strArg is the filtering criteria.
My guess is, that the error comes from the fact that (for some silly reason) in VBA the .AutoFilter method is used to create a new filter, not only to use an existing one. The members of Sheet.AutoFilter.Filters collection are read-only, and cannot be used to modify the existing filter.
