Breaking Links And UsedRange
Jun 23, 2006
I am working on a project that involves copying data from one sheet to another, then breaking all links to the original sheet. This part of the program is working fine. The problem comes when I try to put borders around the used range of cells in the new sheet. I want the border to only go down to the last row that contains text in column A.
Currently, the program is putting a border around all the cells that have text plus those that originally contained links (all the links are not always used). So even though I have removed the links from the new sheet, usedrange still includes these extra rows. This is no good for printing, since the links spill over to page two and I dont want that second page to print if there is no data.
So I basically need to know how to fix the problem with usedrange, or instead need a way of specifying the last row that contains text in column A. I have done a search on this and tried a number of different things, however none have worked so far.

For three years I've created a workbook (A) that is dependent on another workbook (B) I upkeep. When I open (A), I Edit Links and update the location to my newest weekly file to map from (B). For my 2014 (A) book, I did the same process, but when I update the values, all the links break. Only when I open up (B) with (A) will the values appear.
As a short term solution, I saved (A) with the values in there and disabled the prompt to update values, so others can see the data. This isn't a feasible long term solution since updates will be made weekly, and not everyone will want to open up (B) just to update (A).

I have a consolidation workbook with many tabs. Each tab has many links to 8 data workbooks.
I would like to eliminate the links in all of the tabs of the consolidation workbook to half of the data workbooks.
I am using Excel 2007.
I tried Data/Edit Links, and selected one workbook, but when I hit Break Link, it broke the links to ALL the data workbooks.

I have a master workbook (that I will call 'A') with a number of links to other workbooks ('B' to 'Z'). 'A' is designed to collate and display the data held in workbooks 'B' to 'Z'. The links all work fine until the 'B' to 'Z' workbooks are updated with new data, at which point, the links break with a "Error: source not found" error.
This is caused by the process by which we update the 'B' to 'Z' workbooks. We have to delete them, and replace them with new files, that have the same name.
Is there any VBA code or something that I could run that will update the links to pick up the new files?

I would like to refresh all external links to other xl files (on a network drive) and break all links
I have a code like this:
Code:
For Each l In ActiveWorkbook.LinkSources
Workbooks.Open Filename:=l, updatelinks:=1, ReadOnly:=True
ActiveWorkbook.Close False
Next l
For Each l In ActiveWorkbook.LinkSources
ActiveWorkbook.BreakLink l, xlLinkTypeExcelLinks
Next l
It seems to be working, but if i go step by step (f8) it updates values but sometimes after closing the source workbook and updating next one, the previously updated values disappear...
I cannot open all files because there are many of them and they are like 40mb each.
There are no defined names in the file, except print_area

I am running a macro-enabled Excel 2010 file, and there is a link to another workbook that pops up every time I open it asking if I want to update. I have searched formulas and pages, and can't find where it's linking from. I searched the VBA module I've been working in, and I can't find the link. When I click Data->Edit Links->Break Links and confirm, nothing happens. It still shows up as linked, and still prompts me to update next time I open it. I'd really like to get this data link severed.

I have a worksheet on which i use vba Usedrange to determine all the cells that are being used, but it only picks up all the range after the worksheet has been saved. It seems that the "usedrange" property only holds the actual usedrange at the last time the workbook was saved.
Is this correct?
If so, is there another way to "refresh" the usedrange property without saving the workbook.
If not, is there another way I can determine what the usedrange actually is at any point in time?

I have a usedrange in a workbook, say a1:g150 - simple.
I want to loop through just the first row of this usedrange and delete any rows that are empty.
Now I am sure this is simple and i just cannot get my head working. I have managed to select the first row and loop through, but I dont want to 'select' I just want to loop.
How can i assign the range to a variable? I can get the number of rows via usedrange.rows.count, which would return say 150, but how do i then assign a new variable the range A1:A150? then I can loop by using "for each cell in newrange"?

macros in excel XP.
I written up a marco code to do series of calculations for me. I have one program that will use different matrix size (say 5 rows by 5 colums for one set of calcuations and open up another, but with 105 rows and 35 columns)
Now,
the way it works is the user input data in row 1 and column 1 and the marco does the following codes-
Dim numrows As Integer
Dim numcols As Integer
numrows=worksheets("template").usedrange.rows.count
numcols=worksheets("template").usedrange.columsn.count
thisworkbook. names.add "matrix",,,,,,,,"=!r2c2:r" & numrows & "c" & numcols
this code defines my range that will be used in the formulas further down the code.
the problem is that I test ran the code using the matrix=b2:ai105
and I was using the code for a run with matrix=b2:q77
but the code is giving me the range from the previous macro run (ie. b2:ai105) and want it to use the matrix based on new data size (say b2:q77).
I tried using activesheet.usedrange into the macro, but it does not work.
Basically I need to "reset" usedrange property so it uses the correct range every time.

I have an unwanted link and I can't remove it. I have tried through the Edit Links dialog box, searched for [ in formulas throughout the workbook and gone searching manually for the reference but to no avail.

I have scores for golf teams that I have ranked. When there is a tie, I wish to break that tie based on another number.
For example, 2 teams tie for 1st place with a score of 312 from 4 golfers. I wish to rank those scores based on a 5th player score and determine the winner to be ranked 1st and the next 2nd without disrupting the ranking order of the other teams.

I have a number in one cell which is between 1 and 15 inclusive, and I want to break which ever number is chosen into the sum of 1,2,4 and 8, with each digit displayed in a separate cell. In the remainder cells if any are blank I would like 0 (zero) to be displayed
e.g.
15 ----> Cell 1 = 1, Cell 2 = 2, Cell 3 = 4, Cell 4 = 8
or
9 -----> Cell 1 = 1, Cell 2 = 0, Cell 3 = 0, Cell 4 = 8
Using the numbers 1,2,4 and 8 there is only one way to sum each of the numbers 1-15 inclusive. The results of the 4 cells I'm using an if statement to display an "x" next to an option.

I was wondering if there was a way to break down a single cell with it's componets.
For example, if cell A1 has a sum formula containing the sum of other cells, is there a was to just copy the single cell (A1) and pasting all of its different values to multiple cells?
Like, A1 has 100 in it but it is sum up by 4 other cells each @ 25 each, so is there a way to copy A1 and pasting it to different cell to show each entry?

I am in the middle of designing a macro that has 5 or 10 times ran away with itself causing me to sit & wait for it to finish. I am hoping there is a graceful way out of this without going to office application recovery.

I have strings of data pumped out of a database like so "!OV !IPV ABL (850) !VL SM (150) !AD !PW !QT CC (-350)" If an exclamation point is listed, then no value follows however if no exclamation point is present, then each item will be followed by a value. I am trying to break this data out into a table. I am not sure if this is even possible. I am also attaching an example.

I was just wondering if there was an easy way to split several rows of a sheet in to their own worksheet? Right now I have a workbook with one worksheet which looks like: ..........
And so on. Every little block signifies a different product, so in this example R1 and R2 are for one product, R4 is for another product, R6:R8 are for another product etc.
So I was wondering, can I have a function which gives each product its own worksheet and names the worksheet the value in Column 2? The number of rows for each product (and the number of products) is variable but the number of columns stay the same and there'll always be one gap between each product. This isn't an essential can't-live-without thing, right now I'm just cutting and pasting, but it would be nice to have everything automated.

I have a work sheet called 'Cross Ref data' which I want to put a keyword in column A (row 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 etc)
I then want to be able to run a macro that will grab the contents of A1 in WS called 'Cross Ref data' and check if it appears in column D and E in WS 'Results'
If there is a match then for the entire line within WS 'Results' be copied to a WS that already exists called "Cross Ref Results" (please see the below heading '88888***********8888' for the layout) .........

Sheet1, Column3 is filled with property addresses, if available (some are blank). I need two columns on Sheet2, Column3 needs to be the street number and Column4 needs to be the street name.
Because it is not 'fixed length', I can't use 'RIGHT' or 'LEFT'
I have attached a sample file. There is other data/information on the sheet, but I can process the rest without help. I will be moving:
Sheet1, Column1 to Sheet2, Column2
Sheet1, Column2 to Sheet2, Column1
Sheet1, Column3 to...as described above...

I have an excel table with over 130 sheets in it. The first 20 sheets I have a list of names(the sames names) to collect different types of information of them. From the sheet #21 until sheet#135(more or less) I have the person sheet (each sheets has their respective name) to collect even more information for each names from the list mentioned before from the first sheets. I already created hyperlinks on the first 20 sheets (sames names) that way from there I can go straight to the individual sheet. The problem is that every day I have to correct a few hyperlink because for some reason breaks. I got this error message "Reference not valid", therefore I have to edit the hyperlinlk and connect it again. Even if I save it, next day is another or the same one.
Any alternative way to create hyperlink besides click on Insert - Hyperlink - click on the name of the sheet? Could I do it using macros, visual basic or something and if I can, how to do it.

I have another question. When address come through our DB into Excel, they are in one big block. In other words the city and state and zip are in a lump with the street address. Text to columns does not work because it does not break up the text consistently. What can I do?

I am trying to break ties in the Rank function.
Example worksheet attached.
I have an eight digit number (a digit can show up more than once) and determine the rank of the sum of each number. I had the ties broken by whatever digit showed up first.
In the following example, June 13th row showed 6 digits tied for second place and the tie was broken by the order in which the digit show up in the range.
On the June 14th row it showed digit 4 and 5 tied with 3 occurrence each (running total for the two days). But digit 4 came in twice that day, and reach a total 3 first before digit 5, but Rank2 shows that digit 5 was ranked first, which should of been digit 4.

I have a macro that cleans up data on one sheet, text-to-columns, flip rows of data, etc. Another sheet references the cells AFTER the data has been cleaned up. However, I can't put the cell references in from Sheet1 to Sheet2 before I run the macro because it breaks the references.
Just a simple example, Suppose cell A1 contains the formula: =Sheet2!B5.
If I go to Sheet2 and run the macro to clean up the data, when I got back to Sheet1, cell A1 contains: =Sheet2!#REF!
The idea is that this is a template, and the user can input aggregate data, run the macro to clean it up, and then go to the other sheet. I can easily create the macro to add copy/paste between the two sheets, but I'm looking for a cleaner way to do this.

Data layout in this excel sheet. I need to break it up properly in order to have a better way to import it into SQL. Is it a good idea to cram multiple data points into each cell. From the DB POC column, i need to separate that which is before the "/" from that which is after the "/" and put each item into it's own row. So there needs to be a new column for "DB" and a new column for "POC". The value before the "/" will go into the "DB" column and the data after the "/" goes in the POC column, with one new row for each item.
