I am trying to run a macro every 15 minutes after opening it. I did read something on here that helped me "http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/run-macro-on-time.htm", but it only seemed to refresh at 15 minutes past the hour. Not at 00:30, 00:45, or 00:00.
View 2 RepliesI've created a MsgBox that if you do not respond or Click on it within a set time it will either disappear or perform an action upon no selection. It works great....IF it’s the only excel workbook open. If there is a second workbook open (Even if the second WB is minimized) then the MsgBox just stays up and the "Timer" no longer works. My Code is as Follows:
Sub TimedMsgBox()
Dim Box As Object
Dim varResponse As Variant
Dim Res As Long
Set Box = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
varResponse = Box.Popup(Text:="Which button will you click?", secondstowait:=5, Title:="Click Me!", Type:=vbYesNoCancel)
If varResponse = vbYes Then
MsgBox "You clicked Yes"
ElseIf varResponse = vbNo Then
MsgBox "You clicked No"
ElseIf varResponse = vbCancel Then
MsgBox "You clicked Cancel"
ElseIf varResponse = -1 Then
Res = Box.Popup(Text:="What? Do you not like me?", secondstowait:=5, Title:="You Didn't click Me!", Type:=vbOK)
End If
End Sub
I want to write a piece of code that will automatically do a SaveAs on the workbook I'm using, say every hour, and add the current system date and time to the filename every time.
View 4 Replies View Relatedtrying to get pivot tables to automatically update every 4 minutes.
I have 3 worksheets:
worksheet 1: SCANNER, this sheet pulls in data externally using an =RTD links
worksheet 2: RAW, this manipulates the data above, and this is the data used to create the pivot tables
worksheet 3: SUMMARY, the pivot tables are here, there are 9 of them.
Worksheet RAW, changes every so often, and every 4 minutes I would like to have the pivot tables AUTO REFRESHto make sure its using the latest data from RAW.
I see options to autorefresh on the opening of the workbook, but cant see anything to REFRESH EVERY X MINUTES.
Is there any way to do this with VBA ?
I have a range that refer to an external data. This external data is refreshed every one minute. So the data is changing every one minute. I need to copy the content of one fix cell in that range into another cell every one minute, each time copy to a different cell. Example: cell A1 has the content that refer to an external data. Cell A1 is updated every one minute. At first A1= 100, I need it to be copied to cell B1 (so B1=100); one minute later, A1=101, I need it to be copied to B2 (so B2=101) and so on.

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 have a spreadsheet and a macro that creates a new sheet and enters some data into the sheet. The user gets to make some changes to the created sheet and then prints it out. I was wandering if there was any way to have a message coming up every 10 minutes remindnig the user about the new sheet untill it was printed out and then the warnings would stop. Could anyone sugest a good way to do that?

Macro to save the worksheet every 5min
A macros is needed to:
1. save the worksheet under the same name
(& variation: under diff name - e.g. quotes_HHMM.xls ,
where HH is hour and MM is minutes of the time the file is saved)
2. every 5 minutes (the file is opened at 9AM and closed at 6PM manually)
I have a file, where the financial data is streamed in from Reuters.
i have a cell in a specific workbook which i intend to update it using a macro every min. but during the interval, i might look at other excel files. thus, i hope the macro of that file can run at background.

Does anyone know if there is any way to improve the Code or formulas within the Cells?
1st post. Very basic understanding of Excel / Macros / VBA but I have searched and still not quite able to get what I'm looking for.
I would like to be able to manually put in a TIME in a cell, and have a macro run at set times before that TIME e.g. something like
If TIME in cell A1 =(hh:mm minus 30mins) run macro 1,
If TIME in cell A1 =(hh:mm minus 5mins) run macro 2
It was suggested to me to use vba code that would constantly check the time against the system time and as soon as it is 30 mins before the time in cell A1 and the 30 mins flag in cell B1 was ‘N’ then it would run macro 1 code and set the 30 mins flag to ‘Y’ to show that macro 1 had been run.
and that this could also do the same for the 5 mins event

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a fairly simple macro that takes a few seconds on my XP-computer with Excel 2003 but takes several minutes on my Vista-computer with Excel 2007.
The XP-PC has 2GB memory, the Vista-PC only 1GB, but it's hard to believe it's only that.
Is Excel 2007 so much slower than 2003?
The macro makes quite extensive use of the .rows(Rownr).Delete method. Is the fact that 2007 has 1 million rows against the 65536 of 2003 the culprit? It has to shift much more data up when deleting a row, no?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working on an excel to get external data and compare them with the defined value. If the external data reaches the defined value, an alert email will be sent to a user-defined email address.
The question is how or is it possible for me to write a macro to automatically refresh and check the data for every minute or as user defined without pressing any buttons.
I am now trying to write a macro which is a little over my head and was hoping some one may have some idea how to do it or have some code that is similiar and I can try to customise it myself. So here goes.
Basically all that happens is I paste data into a work book that always has two columns. The first column is a list of names and the second column is a list of numbers. I need to sort that information automaitcally every time it is pasted into the work sheet as follows.
1) Once any information is pasted to sheet 1 run macro automatically with no user interaction
2) All numbers must be rounded up or down first before sorting. If it is say 2.4 then it would become 2 and it it was 2.6 it would become 3.
3) Then move the numbers only from a specified column from sheet1 to sheet 2 and split them up into seperate columns based on the following results.
a) 0 - 3 gets moved to column B
b) 4 -7 get moved to column C
c) 8 - 10 gets moved to column d
4) Delete both columns from sheet1 after this is run so the user can re paste new information
5) If a user does this again then do the same but move into a new set of columns e f g and so on until the work book ends.
I would like to run Macro_1 at every day 3.40pm. I have inserted following code to workbook.

I want to run a macro I created whenever there is a change to any cell on my worksheet (A1:IV65536). So, for example, if cell A1 were to change from a 1 to a 2, I would like my macro to run.

I have a sheet containing employee data - 13,000 rows - one for each employee.
Column A contains their store number (there are about 1300 stores in total) and column H contains their name.
Is it possible to create a macro that, for each change in store number, will create a named range for the employees' names in that store automatically?
There's a spreadsheet containing 2 Sheets, lets'say Sheet1 and Sheet2.
The first one, Sheet1 contains raw data (imported from a database through SQL), hence there are no formulas in it.
This sheet contains among several columns, this one labeled "PC" (column G), non-sequenced numbers only (ex., 14014, 14015, 14019, 14113)
The second sheet is used for retrieving some other information from Sheet1, based on PC number, which is input on cell Sheet2!P15, for authorization purposes only.
The fact is that I have to input every PC number, one by one (14014, 14015, 14019...) then send it to printer one by one by every PC number entered.
In this example, type 14014 in P15, then print button; again, 14015, then print button, and so on.
I'm wondering if there's any way, by selecting some (not all) PC numbers from Sheet1 (even when filter is set on), to have these different pages (Sheet2) printed automatically after pressing this macro button.
An extra bonus would be the possibility (other macro, possibly) to generate one or several pdf files of this selection.
