1- I dont know why but sometimes excel 2010 converts numbers to dates automatically in my workbook. I use this macro to solve the problem, but since last week it is not working. I get an error: "Method 'NumberFormat' of object 'Range' failed".
2- because it should work in all cells of the workbook, the macro must make changes only in the cells with absolute numbers (ex: 1223) but must not change if in the cell there is a date like 12-may-2012 (numbers with hyphens).
This is my function:

I am updating one sheet within a closed workbook with information from one sheet in another closed workbook. I have been using a connection string similiar to this: "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=C:ExcelData2.xls;" & _
"Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES"""....
My question is, how do I make a worksheet that is in a closed workbook active. And to be more specific I need to change the name of the file I am saving to and I was hoping to do something like "activeworksheet.saveas=". If you happen to know another way that relates to the way I am connecting and updating information( SQL statements), could you let me know.
I am trying to use COUNTIF function to retrieve data to a "Report" tab on my workbook.I need it to be count if as I have 2 criteria whether or not the value in the cell should be counted toward the sum (one is text basically saying "Y" and other the date). Now the formula worked fine when use hard data such as this:
=COUNTIFS('Inspection Report'!$B$3:$B$1048576,"*" & "06/05/2014" & "*",'Inspection Report'!E3:E1048576,"Y")
OUTCOME: 47 (which is correct)
See how I used the date there, I typed it myself. However the end user should not be able to have access to the formula, so I used a cell with drop down list and the date is stored there. So following the logic, my new formula should be this:
=COUNTIFS('Inspection Report'!$B$3:$B$1048576,"*" & C2 & "*",'Inspection Report'!E3:E1048576,"Y")
OUTCOME: 0 (which is incorrect)
how the date is stored. By following my logic this should work as the cell only holds a string value and should be used like this in to calculate the result. if I need to use only the value of the cell in a formula like this should there be any conversion so excel understands what I am trying to do?
I have a list of zip codes in excel, which I need to pass to store website and retrieve all the store locations in that area..
For example:
[URL] .... "choose my store on the left"
or [URL] ....
Is it possible to do this in Excel/ VBA?
I was curious if Excel was able to pull information off websites and automatically populate a table such as items from Safeway and a price then another column for Walmart with same item and price? I am betting not on its own but I figured this was the best place to ask since I am trying to find an easier way to find savings at the store.

I get a message,"Microsoft Office (InfoPath2003) cannot open (the following file, etc.) A second message says, "The form contains XML that is not parsed: An invalid character was found in the content. Line 0, Position 0" Then I get the message "MS Office is not currently set as default." I complete the instructions that follow and it is now corrected but I continue to get the same error messages.

Is it possible to retrieve an arrary of the autofilter criteria. I know this is possible in pre 2007 but with 2007 onwards I can't find a way of doing it.
I know I can get all the available items in a list by using the scripting.dictionary and also by using the visible cells I could see what could be filtered but that is not really accurate for what I want.
E.G.
If I have multiple columns and look at the filtered information in one column I can retrieve an array of the visible cells from that column but that is not necessarily the criteria that is in the column. i.E. If another column has a filter rows may be filtered that would have otherwise been visible.
I'm trying to code a function that will allow me to search data in an Access 2010 database and populate in Excel.
The issue I have is using a defined variable in the VBA code as part of the SQL where clause. Here is the current code (having problems with line 80):
Sub testconnection1()
'declared variables
Dim cn As Object, rs As Object
Dim intColIndex As Integer
Dim DBFullName As String
[Code]....
cell: A1 = 1st data
cell: B1 = 2nd data
cell: C1 = 3rd data
1. If A1 = 85 (exact 85 only)
and if B1= < 25
then c1 = 0.21

How can we "read" information from the VBE Error Trapping options (Break on All Errors/ Break in Class Module/ Break in Unhandled Errors) programmatically?
Background: I am developping a spreadsheet that needs to be sent around to distant users. Some of them might not have the default "Break on Unhandled Errors" setting), which would just make my programme fail or risk to fail...
This issue has been covered in the thread below, but the proposed solution doesn't work on my side (always returning the same output!): [URL] .....
Hint: it has been suggested to look into the registry, which the linked post does.
Ideally, I would love to be able to change the setting programatically, but that seem near to impossible in excel 2007 VBA (unless calling an external programme that closes and restarts excel after having changed the option?...)

Can I retrieve, from VBA, the exact value of a cell?
If in A1 I write 0.12348 with general, number or text format, from vba with MsgBox ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1) I obtain 0.12348.
If in A1 write 0.12348 with currency or accounting formats, from vba with MsgBox ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1) I obtain 0.1235.
Naturally, I need retrieve complete values from cells with format accounting?

Excel 2010, Windows 8.1. I want to retrieve a photo from a folder and paste it into a cell. I have the paste and format process figured out but I'm having trouble putting the file path together to retrieve the photo. If I use the full path, the statement below retrieves "IMAG1234.jpg" and puts it where I want it.
ActSheet.Pictures.Insert("C:UsersEljafeDocuments1-QCReport_PhotosIMAG1234.jpg").Select
But if I have a different photo file name as a string in a cell (e.g. "IMAG5678.jpg") what is the syntax to attach it to the file path? i.e
ActSheet.Pictures.Insert("C:UsersEljafeDocuments1-QCReport_Photos") & "IMAG5678.jpg".Select '(which of course doesn't work)
So, I have a path but I want to attach different photo number to the path from a sting in a cell.
I have a spreadsheet witht the following design:
Column A = Date
Column B = Value 1
Column C = Value 2
I have a folder with excel files named by date (e.g. 081212 = 8th December 12). Within each of those files is Value 1 and Value 2. They are always in the same cell (B6= Value 1, B16= Value 2).
How can i create a macro/script where the Values in Column B and Column C in my spreadsheet are automatically updated where there is a Date in Column A but no values in Column B or C?
In other words, i need the script to read the date in Column A and if Column B and Column C are blank, then it needs to find the corresponding date excel file and copy Value 1 and Value 2 into the cells in my spreadsheet.

I have my Excel workbook open & have made changes. Now I close it and Excel prompts me if I want to save the changes. Is there a way to just close the workbook and automatically accept any changes without have the "Do you want to save changes" message appear?
What about if it is opened in read-only mode? Typically the workbook will not save any changes unless you save it off as another file name. If there is a solution to my question above, can it be enabled only when the workbook is opened in edit mode, or will it not auto-save changes over the file because Excel knows it was opened in read-only mode?
I have attached a spreadsheet with a simple macro. How do i make the macro automatically run when the file is opened.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
How do I automatically run VBA code when a workbook is opened?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI wrote code for a few macros in a "save as" or practice version of a spreadsheet. Once I got the bugs worked out on the practice book I pasted the code into the actual spreadsheet I want to use. The problem is that whenever I run one of the macros it opens the practice book that I was using when I wrote the code. There should be no need for this and I can't figure out why that's happening. The code doesn't mention any workbook by name so I don't know why it would want to open the practice book.
