I have code which when run thru manually in VBA says it has updated the contents of the cell in a sheet. Indeed the code all reacts as if it has updated the cell in memory, however the actual spreadsheet cell has not been updated. This has happened in the past and then magically starts working wthout change.
View 6 RepliesIf in Cell A2 I have a function that updates it's number value automtically (i.e. From 5 to 7) and in cell B2 I have a value I wanted subtracted to the value Cell A2 updated by. Is this task possible?
In the I.e example, cell A2 had an updated value by 2, will it be possible to subtract that value in Cell B2 and continue doing so if Cell A2 kept updating?
I need to keep a cell (or sheet) updated second by second. is there a way to do this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to set something up on a spreadsheet which shows who last updated a cell and when they did it? I have a huge spreadhseet with lots of data on which gets updated by a number of users, they update a lot of different cells and this leads to errors being made with the data in the spreadsheet.
is a way I can show who updated a cell and what date - is this doable?
I have a spreadsheet where vehicle milage is entered at the end of each month. On another sheet I have the vehicle fleet numbers and the the months along the top. What I need to happen is; when the mileage cell is updated I need the cell in the other sheet to be automatically populated, when the mileage is updated the next month I need the next cell(February)to be populated with the new milage and so on. The aim is to calculate monthly milage for each vehicle without having to enter the date at the beginning and end of the month.
Everyone I work with is completely computer illiterate and only knows how to enter the data the same way they always have(just the once at the end of the month) changing it up will only cause issues.
i want to link my stock portfolio to a spreadsheet to make various calculations on historic performance.
my problem is that it is the same cell thats get updated whenever a change occurs, so that there is no history.
let's say i put the DDE-link in cell A1, i would like B1 to be filled with that value
and then when the value changes i would like B2 to be filled with the new value
and the next time B3, and so on.
1. I created a "Top Category Data Dependent Validation List for sub-categories” in the attached spreadsheet. The selection from the Category drop-down list in column B, then drives or limits the choices in the Sub-category drop-down list in column C.
Credits: To achieve the above technique, I used the "Dependent List Validation" document as a technical reference.
the document is available from http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/dependent-lists.htm
2. If the user updates the Category selection in Column B, then the value in the corresponding row in Column C should be "reset to a ( NULL/Clear) value," as to automatically prevent any human-error in forgetting to also update the Sub-category data in Column C.
(Optional Reading--the following steps are not related to steps 1 & 2 above, just notes regarding other data validation process created in this spreadsheet
3. I also created another column (D) that gets automatically populated with the Category ID,
based on the sub-category drop-down list selection in C.
4. Also in this spreadsheet, a macro checks for any "missing required data
before allowing the end-user to save this worksheet. As an example, In Column A, if there is a "RecordId" that exists in the same row, then the macro checks if the user has entered required values in Column B, C, "AND/OR" D. If the end-user did not enter any of the required values,
then an error message pops-up with this message:
"Cannot Save this file due to Missing Required Data. Please review highlighted record and complete missing data."

Contents formula =countif(B1:D1,"YES").
This works fine.
Column1 has simple formula to count if text is equal to 'YES'.
But when I double click any cell in column 1 to open userform and update values in column 2,3,4 then the formula in column1 does not work.

I am using the worksheet change routine for conditional formating of more than three items.
The problem is that it only changes if I manually type within the page and does not update if the cells are updated via formulas.
To explain a little more, I have three sheets that I combine into one to help find the best rate from three companies using the following formula:
=IF(AND(MIN(PMI!C4,UG!C4,GE!C4)=PMI!C4,MIN(PMI!C4,UG!C4,GE!C4)=UG!C4,MIN(PMI!C4,UG!C4,GE!C4)=GE!C4),FIXED(PMI!C4,2)&" All",IF(AND(MIN(PMI!C4,UG!C4,GE!C4)=PMI!C4,MIN(PMI!C4,UG!C4,GE!C4)=UG!C4),FIXED(PMI!C4,2)&" PMI/UG",IF(AND(MIN(PMI!C4,UG!C4,GE!C4)=PMI!C4,MIN(PMI!C4,UG!C4,GE!C4)=GE!C4),FIXED(PMI!C4,2)&" PMI/GE",IF(AND(MIN(PMI!C4,UG!C4,UG!C4)=GE!C4,MIN(PMI!C4,UG!C4,GE!C4)=GE!C4),FIXED(UG!C4,2)&" GE/UG",IF(MIN(PMI!C4,UG!C4,GE!C4)=PMI!C4,FIXED(PMI!C4,2)&" PMI",IF(MIN(PMI!C4,UG!C4,GE!C4)=UG!C4,FIXED(UG!C4,2)&" UG",IF(MIN(PMI!C4,UG!C4,GE!C4)=GE!C4,FIXED(GE!C4,2)&" GE","ERROR")))))))
Please feel free to condense this if you like.
So when I update a reference on one of the first three sheets, the cells update on this sheet but the cell colors never change. This is the code for the worksheet change
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Set Rng1 = ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, 1)

I am having rows of data, that i will be updating from time to time. I want excel to move the latest updated rows, in any column if updated, to move to the top, to easiy know that i updated those records. It should be that when i updated more rows than one, then the first updated cell would be in lower, in order, than the latest updated cells. I do not want any cumbersome vba. I want in formula or in conditional formatting. The row no may be total not limited to some rows.
Because, you naturally would have updated the 200 th record and would have saved. It saved as it is, so when you next opens it it is there, but how can i know that that is the last row of data i edited.
It is my general understanding that the change event system within Excel vba is fairly particular as to what will fit the mold of a qualifying change event.
For example, changes that the user imparts to the worksheet and other written code are legitament candidates for change events. However copying down data and cells changing their values indirectly rather than directly may not be considered in the Microsoft change event design.
I would like to know 2 things:
1) Does a cell updated by a market data feed mechanism qualify for a change event?
2) Any list of qualifying change event types. It seems that Microsoft does not have this information.
I have created a spreadsheet that displays new dates in column D based on provided dates in Column B and recurrence intervals selected in column C. The dates in column D are when a training deadline occurs. I have been trying to get a macros written so that when a cell in column d is updated, an outlook appointment message is sent to the person doing the updating. The idea here is that anyone can use this without future coding (so their address would be placed in cell say A1)
So far all i have gotten is excel to send an email to me with the excel spreadsheet as an attachment, not really what I want. Again, I dont want somethign specific to my computer settings, I want to be able to send the spreadsheet out with simple instructions for the user to change their email in cell A1 and then every time a cell changes in column D, it automatically generate an appointment reminder for the new date.
I have a Schedule Grid that I've created. When a cell gets updated, I'd like for another cell to be changed (as to trigger some conditional formats that I have going on). I figured it'd be rather easy, and it was... sort of.
This is the code that I am using:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column < 4 Or Target.Column > 10 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Row < 4 Or Target.Row > 422 Then Exit Sub
Target.Offset(0, 9).Value = 1
End Sub
The code worked perfectly, up until a random moment. Not sure why, but now, the code only works when the cell is updated by a manual entry or deletion. If I use a validation list (which is the primary form of entry), it runs every line of code EXCEPT the Target.Offset(0,9).Value=1.
Here's the strange part. I took it home, and it works fine there. It used to work fine on my computer at work, now it doesn't. Nor does it work on the computer that I need to present this on tomorrow.
I've tried entering in a MsgBox() event both before and after the Target.Offset line. The first message box appears, so I know the code is passing through the restriction lines. But the second message box is not appearing. The code for whatever reason exits the sub at the Target.Offset.
I want a macro in one worksheet to run when any cell (in a given range)on a different worksheet (dataentry) is updated. I have spent along time trying to make it work with no avail. The code I use to start my macro is as follows.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count <> 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target(1, 1).Address = "dataentry!H5:IV72" Then
If Not Intersect(Target(1, 1), Range("dataentry!H5:IV72")) Is Nothing Then

I have 2 dictionaries; both have a "location" and the "frequency of occurence". The 2nd dictionary locations are related to the first, but are named differently, so I have a range of cells I'm using to define the equivalent locations, ie:
Dict. 2 Location----Dict. 1 Location
Wrapper------------Packaging
Robot----------------Robot Arm
Robot----------------Robot Base
etc..
(It's not a direct 1 for 1)
The program is meant to take both dictionaries, convert the 2nd dictionary keys to the equivalent dictionary 1 keys (based on the cell range data provided) and then combine the values associated with that location and store them in D_Master. D_Master is a copy of my dictionary 1, in which I am also trying to add the values from dictionary 2.
I started by writing the location definitions within the program, i.e.:
[Code]....
which works, but there are several hundred definitions and it becomes less robust, whereas a user could type in a definition within the range of cells and the code below could take care of the rest.
I have a front page with buttons linking to other spreadsheets, e.g
{ button } Stock Sheet .xls (???)
{ button } Sales Sheet .xls (???)
In the brackets I wanted to display the last updated date of the said spreadsheets, so that a user can see if it has already been updated. Is there a way of retrieving the last updated date for a spreadsheet, and dispaying it (i.e is it held against a variable or named item)
I have several sheets named by months like 1213, 1113, 1013, 913, 813, 713, etc (month-year) and I'm doing one sheet as an index that needs to find a value across all the sheets.
All the months sheets have a list of names in column A and status in column B. When the business with the name is done, it doesn't appear in the next sheet.
For example "Client A" could appear in 713, 813, 913 (business done) and won't appear in 1013, 1113 and 1213,
In the index sheet I want to lookup what is the status for a name from the latest sheet (last updated status).
So I have all the sheets names in a range called months and I want to make a small formula if possible.
I want to start looking in the latest month (sheet) and if that doesn't have any value it goes to the lower one and so on.
If I use =VLOOKUP($A$5,INDIRECT("'"&MAX(months)&"'!A:D"),4,0) it shows N/A since the name only appeared until 913 and its looking on 1213.
Right now this is working, but it's too big to understand.
IF(NOT(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($A$5,INDIRECT("'"&MAX(months)&"'!A:D"),4,0))),VLOOKUP($A$5,INDIRECT("'"&MAX(months)&"'!A:D"),4,0),
IF(NOT(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($A$5,INDIRECT("'"&MAX(months)-100&"'!A:D"),4,0))),VLOOKUP($A$5,INDIRECT("'"&MAX(months)-100&"'!A:D"),4,0),

I am wondering how to print only the rows that have information in them. I have a report that is super long. We only want the information that is updated to print. This information will change weekly.
Is selecting the area I want to print the only way to do this? Or is there a way I can tell excel to print only the rows that have been updated?
This report is one that we use every week, for ordering, there is a lot of information on the report that we will not need every week, so we are hoping to print only the rows that are updated for that week.
a little task that I'm trying to accomplish. twice a day, a coworker of mine puts out a report on all the jobs we have going for the next couple of days. I paste her report into my own, hide the columns I don't care about, and format the way I like, and add in column U, which holds my comments about the job. It ends up looking something like this:
escelex1.PNG
Later that afternoon, I get the updated copy of her report, in which the B number and customer name always stay the same, but some of the info might change, for example the HOLD column, or the boards or sten columns might change.
What I would like to do is to paste in the afternoon copy of the report, and to have excel merge duplicate rows in such a way that I have the afternoon information from her report (columns B-Q) and keep the comments that I had put in the morning record's row.
When I paste her afternoon report into my spreadsheet, I get duplicate entries looking like this: escelex2.PNG
But I want to be able to merge the data, so that it looks like this: escelex3.PNG
Does that make sense? I want the afternoon version of the data, with no duplicates, but I don't want to delete the comments that I put in in the morning (which is what the "remove duplicates" button is doing)
I am trying to get a macro to update information from attached sheet GTS807 to the Stock sheet. The code in Module 26 works only for the first line and will be very long if I repeat it for the 20 lines of the input sheet! Basically we need to copy the new stock balance from GTS807 column AA13 to AA32 to the individual corresponding product name on the stock sheet (Column E)!

I have developed a system for logging phone calls in Excel which will be used by a team of 3-4 people in a small call centre type environment. Each operator will have their own copy of the application which will independently contain the data for their own calls.
However, what I need to do is have some way of regularly updating everyone’s data to a central workbook so that all the operators have access to reasonably up to date information from all the other operators.
I can handle the actual transfer of data from one book to another and perhaps using an OnTime procedure to handle the regularity, but the problem I have is that with regular updating, there will inevitably be read-only issues which are going to make the application crash.
I was thinking maybe have the data update run from the central workbook itself to avoid this, but was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas. Some sort of file sharing or something maybe?
1) for example i have two files Master.xls and client.xls , when ever the client.xls updated with values the master should automatically updated by the same values.
If i use the link concept , once the user delete the row then master file also automatically updated. So here i want to restrict the permissions to master file.
how can we do that ?
2 - Macros) I like to filter the data as per the column value. In case of less numbers we can hardcode the values for filter criteria. (by declaring an array variable and assigning the values to the array)

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to automate a spreadsheet that downloads a set of tickers from Bloomberg and then fills across a range with a series of data. I have most of the VBA code I need, but my problem is that on opening the spreadsheet, the code moves on to fill the range before all the tickers have downloaded correctly.
I've tried using application.wait and setting up loops until the time reaches a certain value, but these seem to stop Excel updating the list of tickers (presumably the loops stop excel gathering the data?). I suspect that what I need to use is something like the querytable. afterrefresh, but am not sure I'm using it correctly since my knowledge of VBA is very rudimentary.
(i) is there a way of getting the sheet to open, and then just wait for a period of time while still allowing the tickers to download, and/or
(ii) any way to detect when the tickers have finished downloading before the next step of code can commence?
I have a worksheet in my Excel wookbook that references particular cells from another sheet. I use a simple macro to alter the values in some of these cells, but for some utterly bizzare reason, the cells referencing them are not updated. The only way to update the cells is to click on the cell and press Enter!
I've never had this problem before.
Does anyone know why this is, or perhaps know of a line of VBA code that updates every cell on a particular worksheet.
