View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet which contains START TIME in column A, then TIME USAGE in column B and END TIME in column C. User enters start time, followed by the number of time usage in minutes, how could i possibly display the end time automatically in this scenario? how do you add the entered time usage to the start time to display the end time? Say if I enter 1:00 AM at start time and 00:15 minutes on time usage, how can 1:15 AM be displayed on the end time automatically?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a protected worksheet. Users wish to be able to track changes in the input cells. The suggested approach for this is to temporarily disable sheet protection and allow them to change the font color, then protect afterwards. What I would like to do is:
i) check whether they are in an input cell
ii) if so, then prompt the user with the 'Font Color' dialog box
iii) apply the font color selected to the input cell
I'm struggling to find the dialog box I need. I can launch the one to change the interior color, no problem (Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPatterns).Show). But that's no use to me, I just want a color palette that specifically relates to the Font Color
Is it possible to have the worksheet save itself automatically every 5 minutes or so?
I don't want the user to have to click on a macro or do anything. Basically they will not even know that it is saving.
I am trying to fix is that I have two computers networked together both with multiple users all with access to the report form that I am using which is in the shared file. If I have been working on it (I am still trying to do improvements when I have time), and I have to leave for a fire or forget to close the report, no one can access it other than with read-only.
My idea was to run some type of code that either when the screen saver comes on or after so much time with no activity, it would close and save the file with a new file name(just in case I don't want the changes that I have made in the code or something).
I have a workbook with 4 worksheets the first is called "input" which I use to enter information which goes to the other worksheets which arecalled engine, gearbox, doors.
I am stuck on the following; after inputting the information. I want to save as pdfs in various locations.
Is it possible to have 4 buttons on the input sheet which automatically :
Button 1 - Save "engine" worksheet as a pdf to a specified folder
Button 2 - Save "gearbox" worksheet as a pdf to a specified folder
Button 1 - Save "doors" worksheet as a pdf to a specified folder
Button 1 - Save the sheets as multiple excel files to a specified folder
I'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
Our company has designed a Excel Document for quoting purposes. The problem we are having is that certain sheets that are needed to do the quote do not need to be used after the quote is finished and saved. These extra worksheets are taking up a lot of room on our server. In the document I have already disabled the save feature so that the saveas has to be used. Is there code that can delete sheets 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 upon doing a save as?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like excel to automatically suggest the save as file name and location for my workbook when I click the save, save as or close options. The file name should be a combination of values in cells A1 and A2 of Sheet1. The location should be a folder named "Bill" in C:/My Documents. I think I can do it with a beforesave code but I am new to vba.

If this is being done on different computers is it possible for it to simply bring up the dialog box and the user save it where they would like?

How to click a button to automatically combine a few cell data and save it as the file name ?
The file name i want to save, is in this method.
( Date 2013-07-22 ) + ( Cheque No UOB000000 ) + ( ReceiverName ) + ( InvoiceNo L123456 ) + ( Payment Voucher Code ) + ( Amounts $1111111 )
______V5___________________E17___________________D11________________O9______________Add word ( PV )_____________W16
Sample File name : 2013-07-22_UOB000000_TransAuto_Inv778899_PV_$$$$$$$
I tried to add this code : FName = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Payment Voucher").Range =("V5&"_"&E17&"_"&D11&"-"&O9&"_"&"PV"&"_"&W16")
But getting error.
Than i tried to group all the cell data into cell (E11) and than select as range (E11), but when i tried to group it, the beginning the file name instead of i want it to be the date 2013-07-22_UOB........ it become 41113_UOB............
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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of setting up an Excel invoice. So far I have managed to implement the following:
On open: Incrementing invoice number
Cells cleared ready for next use
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Sales Invoice").Range("H2").Value = Sheets("Sales Invoice").Range("H2").Value + 1 .....................
There is only one task left I need to automate. On closing the document I would like a copy to be saved in a specific folder and be given the file name of a cell (B9). Obviously I would not want the 'saved copy' to retain the Incrementing invoice number or the clear cells function. Even if the invoice copy was exported as a flat jpeg that would be fine. I am using Office Exce 2003 (Sp2) - I have attached my invoice should anyone be kind enough to take a look.
I'm trying to create a sub that will save my worksheet to a tab delimited text file anytime there is a change in the worsheet data (all cells are linked to cells in other workbooks). I've figured out the command to save the file
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:Documents and SettingsChrisMy DocumentsBook1.txt", FileFormat:=xlText _
, CreateBackup:=False
but I'm not sure how to get a sub routine to start running when the file opens and to have it run continuously while open. I've found the command:
Application.Volatile
that will flag when any cells in my range are recomputed and run a function, but functions don't allow me to save the file.
I have put together a booking spreadsheet which uses a UserForm. see attached worksheet. When you start the UserForm and select a name, date, number of nights, and then 'Add', the data is added to the worksheet.
1. My first problems is that when I select the 'Cancel' button on the Userform, I would like the spreadsheet to automatically save under C:My Documents. And also save the file as 'Marketing_DDMMYYYY.xls' as todays date.
2. My second problem is that the 'Leaving Data' column sometimes shows the leaving date in American format (MM/DD/YYYY), and sometimes English format (DD/MM/YYYY).
How can I make this always use English format?
I am very new to vba and trying to figure out an auto save macro that will automatically save my workbook when a certian cell range is changed. Right now I have a macro set that automactially record the time and date of when a change is made to the name cell, I want to set up a macro that will automatically save the file when the time is updated.
This program is used by several users and they have a tendnecy to forget to save the program so that when other people want to check the updated data nothing has changed because the changes have not been saved. I have attached the file that I am working on. When a change is made in column F then Column G automatically updates, now I want column G to trigger autosave. I would also like a msgbox to appear to tell user that file has been saved.
I have an excel file that I use to track all my financial investments. The file is already set up with a query to retrieve stock prices when I refresh the document.
I would like to be able to open up the document, and store the closing price of the stock(s) with a date in the next column over. With this information I can graph weekly, monthly annually, or any time period I want.
I have been searching for a couple of hours now, and I could not find anything similar to this. I would think this is a pretty common idea for many people tracking their investments with Excel, so if it has been covered perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.
I don't have any programming experience in excel so as detailed of an explanation as possible
I have a spreadsheet that from a button I want to run a macro that will input todays date, the value in cell A1 as the filename into a default dialog box that is at a default file path. I have been trying to do this for several hours and can not completely get it done.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that retrieves data from a file from a URL address upon opening. Actually, I am saving the URL file to a local drive and then updating my workbook with this data. The problem is that the job that updates the URL file sometimes fails. I want to notify the user of my workbook that the data has not been update recently. I am trying to use the built in document properties (Last Save Time) but I cannot get it to work except for the workbook that has the macros in it. Is there a way to find the last save time of a workbook (from a URL address) seperate from the workbook that has the marco? Below is my current code that errors out at:
dp = Application.Workbooks("DockReportExport.xls").BuiltinDocumentProperties("Last Save Time") with and runtime error.
Sub FTP()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Open file from URL addres to check last save time
Workbooks.Open Filename:="http://172.16.1.94/Files/Operations/...portExport.xls"

I am using Excel 2007 and have to send monthly payslips to respective email ids. I have the Name and Email ids in Sheet 2 Range B1:C59 , and employee codes in A1:A59. And in Sheet 1 i have the Payslip format which was automatically displayed when i select the employee code from drop down list in the cell E7 in sheet 1.
Every time i manually save the files as PDF and send to their Emails. I want the out put as whenever i select the employee code from drop down list , it should automatically save as PDF with Name of that employee ( Name of the employee is located in B1:B59 in Sheet 2 ) and attachment should automatically go to that employee's email Id.
I have a file that sits open all the time, and performs some refresh functions every thirty minutes. I need the file to save a copy of the tab as a CSV file at a given time interval. The code below is almost there, just need to work with the time interval part. The way it should work is to open the csv, copy / paste the active sheet; then close the csv; leaving the original excel file open. I can run it, and it works, but the time interval is not triggering.
I can get the time interval to work by itself, and the save csv part to work by itself also; I need them to work together.
VB:
Sub test()
Application.OnTime Now + TimeSerial(0, 1, 0), "test"
Dim OutputFile As Workbook, InputFile As Workbook
Dim sDD As Worksheet

I am trying to find a way to sort this info by column D but within the Groups shown. So, I want to sort rows 5 to 13, then rows 15 to 19 and then rows 21 to 29.
However I need to a macro to do this because the figures are updated weekly and the order will change. Furthermore, there could be new depts added when the figures are updated, so the row numbers may also change....
Is it possible that each time I save a file it saves the filename along with date and time as the version of the file in a specific path
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a file that will successfully save every 10 seconds.
I want this file's name to change based on what time of the day it is
for example from 630-230pm i want the file to include "day"
230-1030pm include "swing"
this is the code i have
Code:
Dim newFile As String, fName As String
On Error GoTo backup
If Hour(Now()) > 14 And Hour(Now()) < 23 Then
newFile = Format$(Date, "mm-dd-yyyy") & " " & "swing"
Else
newFile = Format$(Date, "mm-dd-yyyy") & " " & "day"
backup: newFile = Format$(Date, "mm-dd-yyyy") & " " & "dayerror"
End If
It currently returns the backup....
I've got a simple save macro below and was looking for a way that when this macro saves the file can it add the system date and time to the name.
'ChDir "C:
ashfinch"
' ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:
ashfinchNFC-ORDER.XLS", FileFormat:= _
' xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False _
' , CreateBackup:=False
I'm trying to save a file with current date and time...I used the code from the following thread:
Save File Name With Date/time Stamp
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:FinalOutput.xls " & _
format(Now(), "mm_dd_yyyy hh mm AMPM"), FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", _
WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
Now when I try to run the macro, it gives me an error saying: Compile Error, Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment. And it highlights "format" in yellow.
