I'm hoping there is some way to call whatever text is stored in the "alt text" field of images placed in an excel sheet for use as a variable / string reference in a macro.
The "alt text" will not be changed in any way by the macro.
Programming Excel VBA Macro to do OCR (text recognition) from a prt scr screen capture image and input the text into cells. Currently my Excel file has a push-button, and upon clicking on it the macro pastes into Excel the current clipboard image I have created by pressing prt scr while in another program. The macro then crops the image to the region with the applicable text. I have to then manually type the text I see in image format into the appropriate cells.
the VBA coding to automate this? I'd like it to use the clipboard image and run it through OneNote OCR, after which the applicable text values are automatically entered into the cells. Ideally the code will first crop to the region with the desired text before it does OCR. If this is not feasible, it will need to incorporate a method (keyword search?) to hone in on the desired text after the entire prt scr image has been OCRed.
1. I have text message on Excel Sheet 1. I have designed a form that has Multiple Check Boxes. Primary, CO-applicant and Co-signer vertically placed. And I have 3 Check Boxes that have been placed Horizontally Alerts, Public records and Mismatch Information.
What I am looking is I should be able to Pick 1 or all the 3 from Vertical Check Box which would be Primary, or co-applicant and Co-signer and also appropriately pick any from the Horizontal Check Boxes Alerts, Public Records and Mismatch Info.
For example: I the Text Box1 below should appear like this:
Primary: DOB Mismatch or and Bankruptcy any of those options.
Similarly for Co-applicant and Co-signer.
2. I have a Text Box2 on Comments page. The information from Text Box 1 Appears in Text Box 2. Once the form is run I am unable to make corrections if any in Text Box 2. Is it possible for me to edit the test that is copied in Text Box 2.
I have created an XLA using a blank workbook which has a macro (called CompareMan) I have written within it.
I have written a utility (called INSTALLMAN) to install this add in.
When I run the install it creates and activates the add in OK.
The install also creates a toolbar with a button to trigger the macro.
Problem is, when I click the newly created button, no matter which workbook I am currently in I get a message ...
"The macro INSTALLMAN.xls!CompareMan cannot be found".
So my question is, how do I get my button to trigger the macro in my add in?
I am trying to call another macro, but instead of using the name of the macro, I have it in a variable. I am getting an error that says "Compile Error: Expected sub, Function, or Property." Can you call a macro that is in a variable? I basically have a bunch of macros created. I also have a list of the name of those macros on a worksheet in Excel. I want excel to start at the top of the list in excel and run the macro, then move down and run the next macro, and so on. Below is my code.
Sub Commercial_2005()
Dim Macroname As String
Workbooks("bleeg.xls").Activate
Worksheets("CommercialList").Select
Cells.Range("a1").Select
While ActiveCell.Value <> ""
Macroname = ActiveCell.Value
Workbooks("copy of recast_Report_v2.xls").Activate
Call Macroname
Workbooks("bleeg.xls").Activate
Worksheets("CommercialList").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Wend
End Sub
I have a set of eight files, each of which is refreshed daily through a macro. I wanted to set up a master macro in a separate file that would open up each of the eight in turn, calls its refresh macro (which saves and closes the workbook), and then open up the next one, etc. I've searched the board and Help on this subject, but I keep getting an error:
Sub UpdateCSHoldReports()
' A sub to update all the US CS Hold Reports
' First, change the directory to the one that holds the files
ChDir "s:Marketing_ReportsCustomer Service2006CS Hold ReportsUSA"
' Next, open each file in turn, and run its refresh macro
' The refresh macro saves and closes the file automatically
Workbooks.Open ("VERIFICATION HOLDS 1000 PLUS.xls")
Workbooks("VERIFICATION HOLDS 1000 PLUS.xls").Activate
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1).Activate
Application.Run ("VERIFICATION HOLDS 1000 PLUS.xls!V1000Refresh")
End Sub
I'm only working on one file right now; I'll add the others when I get this one going. The error message I get is "1004" "The macro VERIFICATION HOLDS 1000 PLUS.xls!V1000Refresh cannot be found." It occurs when the Application.Run statement attempts to execute.
What obvious thing am I missing here? I have checked all the spellings, etc., so it's not something like that.
I'm writing some code in a "control" Excel file that will open a series of other files and successively run some processes. Each of these files has its own unique "refresh" macros, with parameters that vary from file to file.
How do I put code in my "control" file that will, when it opens each of these other files, run the "refresh" macro that is contained within them, and not the "control" file itself?
I have been combining multiple macro's into one large Macro and after research, it seems that only the call function works without any hitches.
Is there a way to use the call feature in one workbook while the macro's themselves, 5 or 6 of them, are in another workbook that is closed?
All users would have access to both workbooks.
The reason I am trying this is because I do not want all the other users to have to choose between multiple macro's and some of my colleagues like to use a radio button to link to the workbook. so it needs to have one file in it...
I have a workbook with two macros that the user can run individually. They unfortunately take a fair amount of time to complete (approx 1 hour each) so I implemented some timing related code that at the end of the macro completion, it notifies them with a msgBox indicating how long it took to run. With that said, I would like to allow the user to run a macro that simply calls the other two so that they can kick it off at the end of the day and they both will be finished by morning. I created a new macro that simply makes a call to each of the other macros individually. The problem is, my msgBox that displays after the first macro completes, waits for "OK" acknowledgement which defeats the whole purpose of being able to run them both via one macro. I have tried to include Application.DisplayAlerts = False prior to calling the first macro but it is not working. Here is an example of what I am trying to do.
Sub runAllMacros()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Call compileBookData
Call compileLaborData
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
MsgBox "All Rollup Macros have completed execution."
I have a workbook with a 2 macros "PopulateSheetlist" and "SaveEditedversion"
Normally they are each button operated, and prompt the user with vbYesNo style options. I wanted to write a Macro, say "Macroautomatewkbk that would automatically answer the prompts.
Sub Macroautomatewkbk ()
Call PopulateSheetlist
' Always answer YES or OK to any prompts this macro may offer
Call SaveEditedversion
' Answer No for the 1st prompt and YES for the 2nd prompt
End Sub
MsgBox "Both macros "PopulateSheetlist" and "SaveEditedversion"
' Some error handler here, don't know how this should work exactly.
Could any one please explain how to fill in code in the commented sections in the above sample code?
Edit: I tried recording a macro to do the above, but it only showed the zooming and scrolling that occurred, none of the button prompts being answered.
At the moment I have a macro that is assigned to a button. When clicked, it creates a newline, create and copy a column in another sheet. This code works fine :

What I now want to do is make a cell called "Total Number of Sites" and allow user to input data into "D3" manualy. eg if 3 sites, user input 3 in D3 so D3 = 3.
Since total number of sites = 3, Instead of clicking that button I made 3 times, I want to call the macro 3 times using a nother button.
However it doesn't work. This is what I used:

I've assigned a single macro to numerous Form Checkboxes (not ActiveX). I'd like the macro to be able to identify the Checkbox calling it, so that if for example, if it were fired by clicking "Check Box 41", the macro should know that.
Is this possible, or must I use an ActiveX control?
how I can go back to the worksheet I was in before I branched off to work in another worksheet via a macro?
I know you can tell the macro which worksheet to go to, but not sure how to get vb to remember where I was and return to the same sheet (or even cell).
I had create a few macro with the macro name the same as the worksheet name.
How can i create another macro to loop through all the worksheet and if there is any data in Cell A1, it will call the corresponding macro. If there is no data, it will go onto another worksheet.
Using a different script application, I would like to run my VBA macros while working in Excel. I was wondering if I could achieve that using PostMessage or SendMessage calls. Part of the problem is that Excel only seems to allow either Ctrl + letter or Ctrl + Shift + letter as an assignable macro shortcut. My script gives me flexibility in that I can assign any key or combination of keys to trigger any kind of routine, like a PostMessage call, for instance. So while working on my workbook, I might want to press, say, ScrollLock followed by a letter of my choice, followed by another letter of my choice (a sort of super shortcut), resulting in the running of a Macro of my choice in Excel.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a macro running in a workbook that gathers some data (a date, a string and a few arrays). Towards the end of this macro, I need it to open another workbook and run a macro that sits in this other workbook, using the data from the first workbook. I then need it to return some results (several integers) back to the first macro to be pasted into the first workbook.
I gather that I can't use 'Call' as the second macro is in another workbook.
I've found that I can use Application.Run but I'm unsure how to carry variables back and forth using this.
How to move the variables between macros / workbooks using the Application.Run option, or maybe another way of doing things?
the macro works fine until it executes the paste values. At that point, the macro jumps to the "CountThem" function which is located in another workbook. The data that I am copy/pasting is in no way connected to any cells that are using that function. Although, other values in the workbook are passed down from data that uses that function.
I am still in the dark ages using Excel 2000.
This is the code for my macro.
Code:
Sub Current_to_Raw()

' Current_to_Raw Macro
' Macro recorded 2/12/2014 by

I created two macros. One for refreshing the data I pull from a database, and another one adding some formulas I need. On the formulas macro, I don't know how to have it automatically fill until the last row of data to the left of the column with the formula. (Just like if I double clicked it and it filled down automatically). I also tried to combine these two macros, but I get errors and they don't execute.

I have imported a jpeg image into Excel but can not figure out how to move it to the "back" so I can add text on top of it. When I make it a "background", it makes duplicate backgrounds when I only want one. Is this the only way and if so, how do I set it so that I only have one image in the workbook?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat i need is a 'drop down'-box or another method for choosing an image. And also to change the background in a next time:
for example I need to choose a thumbs up, going ok sign, or a cross. And in a way that if last it was ok, now it's a cross that the background turns orange; and if last it was a cross, and nog a thumbs up, the background changes green.
I'm looking for a easy solution that can be copied to several cells.
I have a Cell with 3 text boxes spaced horizontally. My boss wants me to figure out a way for when I click each of those text boxes an image appears beside the textbox.
So if i click the first textbox a check appears beside the first textbox. If I click the 3rd textbox then beside the 3rd etc.. Also, In the cell beside it he wants a number to appear when you click the textbox. So say the first textbox is clicked the number "1" appears, the 2nd one is click the number "3" and the 3rd one is clicked the number "6" (for example).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a worksheet to be used by a number of people at work and my issue is how to add sufficient instructions for some of the less tech minded users.
I have entered text in the comment box to 'assist', but would like to add either a picture WITH the text or something to the effect of "for further asistance and make the last part a hyperlink.
My workbook simply has multiple columns of data which will be summarized visually in a tag cloud (I have the tag cloud part taken care of already creating either a jpg or png, I simply have to change the extension within a batch file to change between picture formats)
I need to have the tag cloud image display and update depending on which column the user would like to summarize (for now I have simplified the issue by only having one of the data columns in my workbook, and will worry about the user selection of the data column to be summarized later).
My Main Question:
Focusing on the image display and updating now, whether it be an ActiveX Image Control or any other way. I've been playing around manually before I try and code it and I can not get either a jpg or png file to attach to the ActiveX control (both of which cause an Invalid Picture Message).
The file name can stay the same if need be and for now I think/assume that'd be easiest (I have my Tag cloud generator just replacing the previously existing image file of the same name).
Would ActiveX control be the way to go for this dynamically changing image?
I am looking for a way to take the picture name associated with an image ie: (picture 571) and place that picture name in the cell next to the image.
I can see the picture name - it registers in the top left box that usually indicates the cell the cursor is on... and I could manually type that name next to each image.
However my spreadsheet has several thousand rows- each with several columns of information and an image..
I am looking for a way "formula?" to automatically read the image in cell J4 and populate cell K4 with the image name... and so on.
The reason for my request... is I am importing products into a web based shopping cart... to do so I have to export the products to a csv and import that csv into the shopping cart. The process of exporting to a csv- strips away all the images and leaves just data.
I found that I can save the document as an html and that process creates a folder with all the images- saved as (picture 571.jpg) if the resulting csv had the image name... the shopping cart would then look for that image name in my image file and it would populate into the shopping cart appropriately.
This seemed on it's face like a really simple thing to do, I have plenty experience with excel & I thought I'd be able to make cell k4= j4 and tada it would glean the image name & I could simply copy that formula all the way down the sheet & it would be done... but I just cant find the magic button that freely gives up the image name...
Is there any way I can make it so an image is hyperlinked to a cell with specific text entered. After clicking on the image, the cell where the image is hyperlinked to changes text.
For example:
An image of a strawberry is hyperlinked to a cell which contains the word "strawberry".
After clicking on the strawberry image, the cell which contained the word "strawberry" now contains the word "strawberry1".
If you understand that, I would so love the help.
