When I click a button on a Sheet, Certain data is copied from another sheet and paste in active sheet. While this action is taken place, whole sheet is refreshed and the image and a data is blinking for a second.
Do we have an option to avoid that blinking ?
I've used the code below and it's worked to stop Update Links message, but i still need one tip to avoid continue message that shows up after Update Links massage:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False
Sheets("Feb").Activate
Range("A200:I400").Select
Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=True
End Sub
I have a workbook where everything is controlled from a single worksheet that I named "Start".
In the "Start" worksheet I have instructions and one command button. When this button is clicked, it will start the VBA code. The code will basically show a couple of userforms where the user will input some information and after the user clicks on a button on the last userform, the code will generate new worksheet and present the results in that new worksheet.
The user could do this as many times as he wants, each time creating a new worksheet or overwriting in an existing worksheet (except the "Start" worksheet). The user is able to delete any worksheets he want.
I need to write a code so that if the user tries to delete the "Start" worksheet, it will not let him/her because then there is no worksheet where I have the button to click to start the VBA code.
I tried protecting the workbook, but then it does not allow to add new worksheets either.
Is there a way to prevent formulae from losing their references when the references get replaced.
I have formula which refer to a worksheet that is dynamic, meaning that the worksheet holding the data (CONTROL_1) differs from one query to the next is imported from another source. The datasource contents and format are identical.
I am using the before double click event on a protected sheet. When the event fires the first thing the procedure does is unprotect the sheet, does stuff and then it applies protection again at the very end.
Regardless I still get the 'Function is not available on a protected worksheet' message. How can I stop the message? Any ideas? If no standard approach is available does anyone know how I can hook this using API?
I've written some VBA which creates worksheets to temporarily store data in. At the end of the code I delete the worksheets. However, for some reason I am getting a message box which asks for confirmation. How can I avoid the user of my report having to click OK for each of the worksheets which need to be deleted?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a batch script which runs the following line to open my excel sheet:
start m:exportad.xls
when this sheet opens it automatically refreshes from a csv file.
The problem is that I want this sheet to open, refresh and close. To close Excel I have been using the taskkill command in my batch script, but I have found that using this method doesn't update the sheet properly - the sheet only updates properly if I close Excel in the correct way, but this means manual input and I want this to be automatic.
Is there such a thing call refresh worksheet?
cos my formulas don't display correctly unless you go to that formula and press 'enter' key

I have written a spreadsheet for scheduling employee shifts.
My problem is that I have written some calculations in on the Worksheet_Change subroutine.
What happens is when I want to copy a selection and paste it multiple times, it clears my active selection's "Copied" status whenever I paste.
I'm not sure if I'm explaining it clearly, but if I copy a selection (it turns the typical selected colors with the dashed border), go to the first destination, and paste, the spreadsheet then refreshes the total hours columns, which clears the "copied" status of the original range.
I was thinking of checking the clipboard contents to see if it contains an excel range, and putting it back in the clipboard after the spreadsheet updates.
I'd like to know how to check the clipboard contents, or if anyone else can think of a different way to circumvent this,
I have a dashboard that I created that is driven off one source of data. I have several lists and pivots created from that single source. I have two cells that are driven off of lists that then drive the pivot table. When a user selects an item from the drop down list I would like the pivot table to update. I have two tables like this on the main dashboard. Once the user selects the first data point, the table refreshs as does the second drop down list. After they select the second data point, the second privot table will refesh. Manually everything works prefectly, but when I attempt to automate it with VBA, it will only update the initial pivot and the secondary list, but not the second pivot.
I have posted the current code below.
"SelDept1" and "Wave" are the two cells that contain the drop down lists.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Sheet4. Unprotect "lcssdi"
Sheet2.Unprotect "lcssdi"
If Target.Address = Range("SelDept1").Address Then
Me.PivotTables(1).PivotCache.Refresh
End If
i am currently working on structural engineering program in excel. i want to know if there is code for a cell to blink the value on it. like for example in cell A1, i want to put a WARNING SIGN for that. i want it to blink so that it can be noticeable. is it possible?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a query with ODBC connection to a SQL database. This query's parameter is linked to a cell. The resultant data is the source for a pivot table. I want to refresh the pivot table, when the query is run. I've tried using the cell that triggers the query....but the problem is that the query takes about 10 seconds to run. By the time the query returns new data....the pivot has already refreshed. I need it to refresh AFTER the query is complete.
I tried adding a cell that sums up the data from the query...thinking when THAT changes (due to updated data), to trigger the pivot refresh. Problem is that I don't know the trigger for when the sum cell changes (ie....formula change, not typed in.)

View 9 Replies View RelatedI tried to change it to suit my need but it didn't work. I will paste here the first portion of the code that I changed
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Test the value of the specified cell
If Target.Address = "$A$3" Then
If Target.Value >= 12 Then Call Blinker(Target)
End If
End Sub
I changed it to:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim R As Range
For Each R In Range("$A$1:$A$10")
If R.Value < "$B$1" Then
Call Blinker
Exit For
End If
Next R

As I don't have any formal education in VB editing, I don't even know that this is the correct way of doing it.
The other part of code that goes in standard module is unchanged. But I will post it here just for your ref:

I'm working on setting up a report template for my manager, who is a very visual person. I'm trying to make certain values within the report more noticable by color change and flashing/blinking. I've been looking online for VBE code that causes flashing/blinking cells when cell conditions change. I've attempted using some code I was able to find and tried to manipulate it to fit my needs, however, I have not been able to get it to work.
I'm trying to get the text (not the background color) within a range (i.e.K11:K31) to flash continuously based on the cells value. The cells in question are linked to cells on another workbook which is updated on occasion.
Values may be as follows:
AP
F-Avoidable
F-Unavoidable
P
RC
ON
Cells in the range K11:K31 are linked to a similar cell range on another worksheet (i.e. the formula used is: =IF(Datasource1!K15=0," ",Datasource1!K15) ).
I keep running into with the code I've found are as follows:
1. Due to the values in K11:K31 being the result of a formula, the values/cells are not flashing.
2. The flashing is not continuous (i.e. everything I've found so far has a time limit). I have been able to manipulate the code to extend the amount of time the flashing occurs, but so far I've been unsuccessful in causing it to loop infinitely.
3. All of the code I've found so far causes the background rather than the text to flash (this is a minor issue, more of a preference on my part)..
i have an excel spreadsheet with 27 or so workeets. it contains sales figures in it.

I will recieve new sales figures (new files) on a monthly basis so i want it to be able to update the figures to the new figures.
Is it possible to do blinking txt,
Currently in each sheet in my workbook in Cells A3:D3 I have different text bolded in Red, I want this to blink constantly while the workbook is open.
how to get rid of the blinking cursor in a text box. I made a splash screen, added a text box, increased the font size to maximum, and when I run it there is a maximum sized blinking cursor at the end of the line of text. Just looks bad on the splash screen. Is there a hide cursor command that I can use? Or is there a better way to add text that I (obviously) didn't use?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a spreadsheet with a few queries to extract data into my sheet. Whenever I open the spreadsheet, I get a "query refresh" dialog box, asking if I want to "Enable automatic refresh". I keep clicking on the "Enable" button but I have to keep answering the question for each open. Isn't there a way to set "yean - ok - refresh the data" so that I don't have to keep saying "yes"?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have built a "Calculator" that requires 6 pieces of information, I'm finding that 2 pieces are consistently overlooked, is there a way to have prompts for completion "blink" to capture attention.

I have found some code that relies on a macro being activated I would like any effects to be automated while the cell is empty and turn of "blinking" by the formula entering null when a response is entered.
I'm havin' a chart for interest, instalments and so on;
Interest [X%] Loan [Z crowns/dollars]
Loantime [Y years] Instalment [formula, which is "=Z/Y/12"]for each month.
Year, Month, Loan(left), Instalment, Total payment
1, Januari, =Z, =Instalment (constant), =Interest+Instalment
Month, Loan(left), Interest
Februari, =above-Instalment, =X%*Loan(left)/12 (rent is divided per year),
Instalment, Total payment
Constant, =rent+Instalment
and so on... as long as you want ^^ (it's quite messy, but try :D)
The question is as follows "What would a loan of 900'000kr with 9% interest rate totally cost over 30 years?"
[use "IF" to avoid getting anything written after the loan expires]
The question itself can be easily solved by just dragging the formulas down to 30 years and fill in the % and loan etc. But what I do not understand is the "IF" question. I'm supposed to use the IF function to instantly show the cost of the loan (total rent payment) after the 30 years? That's how I understood it. In that case... how do I do that? ^^
I know how to avoid getting the #N/A in a vlookup, but I have found situations where I have data matches and still get #N/A. For instance, I am looking up an item number (which contains numbers and letters) on one tab to find corresponding info on another tab. I've verified that the item number is indeed in the lookup range but I still get the #N/A. If I copy and paste the item number over the same item number in the lookup range then it works. However, I don't want to do this for each item number.
=AVERAGE(IF(A:A=B6,IF(C:C>0,C:C)))
"A" is a duplicated rep field and "B" is unique rep IDs and "C" is a sum of product types purchased. I'm averaging the number of product types sold by each rep.
I need to modify it to remove the #DIV/0! error it generates. It calculates just fine by row (with the error on some rows), but when I use that calculated field as an element in another formula, the #DIV/0! blows up the second formula. I tried a second IF function tied to the sales field "D" but I don't think I nested it right.
I have a set of data containing "N/A" in some cells, and when I try to plot the chart using stacked lines chart type, the chart is completely off. if the "N/A" are causing this problem and how to fix this.

As you can see i am looking for information in column d (Letter) and getting the result to show from column B (number) using the formula in Column G (result 1).
The problem i am having is that if i try to copy or drag the formula down into Result 2 i just get the same answer.
Is there any way for the next cell down to ignore the previous result?
I've attached an example of what I am trying to achieve and an explanation as well. I'm trying to avoid the use of a macro as I don't understand them and I will need to modify the sheet later on which could cause problems. However, if a macro is the only solution, then I will have to make due with one.
