I am trying to write a macro to export a selection to a text file. I have the export to text file down, but can not figure out how to automate the selection. All of the cells that I want to select are the color "lime." The selection will start at B4 and run down to B?. These cells have conditional formatting that color them lime if the adjacent C column contains a "P."

Whats the best way to get a complete list of the properties of a given cell?
Possibly this is documented somewhere if it's always the same, or maybe it varies and there's some sort of collection you can iterate through.
I would like to enter a long line of data (text & numbers) into a single cell and have the single cell data populate successive horizontal data fields with automatically. The single cell data would have properties that would correspond to specific properties in the successive fields. The single cell data would remain unchanged. The successive horizontal cells would be looking for a specific piece of the single cell data.

Although the question I'm about to ask is not related to Excel, but related to MS Word, the coding is similar.
The above code I used to set the properties value, but I get an error highlighting 'storedPath'. I speculate MS Word does not recognized this word. Is there another word or code that I can use to set the value in the MS Word document properties?
Within my code I have restricted the toolbar options that a user can access (i.e. for Menu Option 'Edit''Tools'):
Set myCmd = CommandBars("Worksheet menu bar").Controls("Edit")
myCmd.Controls("Delete Sheet").Enabled = False
But if the user wishes to delete the sheet, they can select the specific WorkSheet 'Tab' and Right-Click to Insert/Delete/Rename the sheet etc.
How do 'hide' these options within VBA? Or is there a Menu setting that I can be set to Enabled = False?

I have a problem with the PivatTable properties in Excel and VBA. The problem is as follows:
This is a example table:
Sum of store_sales time_id product_id store_id 367 368 369 1 3 6 7 11,4 11 13 14
(the format is not real clear, but I will explain)
This is a part of a PivotTable where:
Sum of Store_sales is located in the datafield(one record; 11,4)
product_id and store_id are Row-Items
Time_id is a column item.
Now, I want the properties of the cell containing 11,4. I've made it so far in VBA that I can ask what his column-items and his row-item are.
Column = Application.Range(chosenCell).PivotCell.ColumnItems.Item(1)
Row = Application.Range(chosenCell).PivotCell.RowItems.Item(1)
Row2 = Application.Range(chosenCell).PivotCell.RowItems.Item(2)
But how do I get VBA to return the valueheaders of those columns and rows? So actually, I want VBA to also return the names: product_id, store_id and time_id. This is because I need those headers to create a query which I send to a Access database.
Is someone able to give me a hint? Is there a method for this in VBA?
I have a workbook with 10 worksheets and I need to know the memory size for each worksheet. I know from File/ Properties that the file is 3.7mb but that is much higher than I would have expected. I can't tell which worksheets are causing it to be so large.

2. Use the Offset and End properties of Range object to name range from A2 to the end of the column as “NEmployees”, range B1 to the end of the row as “NScores”,and the rest of the range, B2 to F19, as “ScoreData”.
3. Do some formatting using the range names and the With-End With construction: make the font of the NEmployees Range in bold and blue color; change the font of the NScores Range to italic, in red and centralize the text (using the HorizontalAlignment property).

I am trying to use VBA to change the caption of checkboxes in "Sheet 2" when I change the value of a cell "A1" in "Sheet 1".
This code is working:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)If Intersect(Target, ActiveSheet.Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Worksheets("Sheet 2").CheckBox1.Caption = "New Caption"End Sub
But there are 6 checkboxes in Sheet 2 and I would like to do something like this:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)If Intersect(Target, ActiveSheet.Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
For i = 0 to 5Worksheets("Sheet 2").Control("CheckBox" & i+1).Caption = "Box" & i+1Next iEnd Sub
This doesn't work.. So I guess the Control-function is wrong.
I have a button on a worksheet that activates a macro, the macro is stored in a "personal.xlsb" file. This file is copied to several users computers so they can use the macro, problem is once the button is assigned to a macro from one computer all the other users can't use the macro. What can I do to make this macro work on all computers? (Less placing yet another button on the tool bar).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a folder with some 126 word document files.
What I need is to create list of file names in a column & its properties like Author, Date modified in adjacent columns of each file..
I have a series of shapes (circles) that I wish to use as a substitute to the radio buttons found in the form controls (too small).
I've drawn the shapes, but wish to manipulate their properties in VBA. For example, when the user clicks on the shape, the macro includes VBA which will change the properties to include colour and fill. Of course, clicking it again, will send it back to the default.
How can I get the VBA of the current shape's (default) properties? Where can I find a list of the VBA properties available to any particular shape so I know what fields are available to set attributes to?
I have 2 sheets to this program. I open the properties to change the ScrollArea of Sheet1 to $A$1:$N$24 so the users that will be using this cannot scroll down to see data. As soon as I hit save, or even Save As and replace the file, then reopen it, I am able to scroll on Sheet1. Now, I do not recall if this same thing was happening prior to restricting access to the workbook or not. One thought I have is because I am the fully authorized user, is that why, even after saving I am able to scroll? Would someone who does not have the permissions that I do in the work book not be able to scroll? Or am I just missing something small?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have had a long-held belief that Excel/VBA methodology is very suited to solving this problem. I have investigated several possible methods noted below and picked one that gives a "quick win". I offer my results so far as a step towards the goal, as well as giving an example of how to manipulate a non-MS Office application using VBA. In this case Windows Explorer - I have used similar code on corporate applications like Oracle and SAP. My 'Write' method uses Sendkeys. Luckily I have been able to do the job without having to use code to simulate mouse functions or using API calls to simulate key presses. Ideally I would like to use something more stable, but there is the bonus that it is simple, as well as changing WMA and both versions of MP3 tag (see below) if present. Perhaps on reading this someone else may have a better method.
Being a ballroom dancer I have a large collection of CDs as well as software to rip to hard drive and enhance the sound quality. Many are quite old. A big problem has been to get a consistent view of the file properties - especially Genre, (eg. Waltz, Foxtrot .. etc.) which, from my own CD burning or external sources, is missing, or incorrect from using the now obsolete ID3v1 tag standard list. Applications such as Windows Media Player and RealPlayer allow functionality to edit tags but become very tiresome when it comes to making bulk changes - such as after burning a new CD. When viewing properties of the same file in various other applications they often show things like Title & Artist switched, and Genre not at all. I have tried software to change MP3 file tags, but find them over-complicated, confusing, and difficult to make the bulk changes I need. With Windows Explorer we can only change 8 properties - but I find these sufficient.
My method is :-
1. READ : Run one macro to put data into a worksheet.....
2. MAKE CHANGES : Make manual changes to the Excel worksheet in the normal way....
3. WRITE : Run another macro to read the worksheet and update the file properties in Explorer.
Part 1 is very simple and robust. Part 3 is difficult because when we use Sendkeys to mimic keyboard entry the code runs too fast to allow time for things to happen on screen, so we have to put Wait statements *depending on how fast the computer runs*. So Slower is better - up to a point.
Properties are added to MP3 files by using a "Tag" - additional bytes of information which form part of the file. WMA files are a Microsoft invention using a similar, but different structure. Interestingly, using my code to make changes via Window Explorer updates BOTH MP3 Tag versions as well as .WMA files. I moan about Microsoft less and less.
MP3 *ID3v1* consisting of 128 bytes always at the end of the file is now 'obsolete' - despite being still in use. This is very easy to read/write using the same code as for Text Files eg.
Open "c:myfile.mp3" For Binary As #1
etc. It is, however, limited to 4 text fields of 30 characters max, 'Year' =4 characters, and 'Genre' is a single character, the Asc() code of which is a lookup to a standard list which contains 125 items - none of which is any good to me. Could have my own lookup I suppose.
MP3 *ID3v2.3* is in the process of being superseded by ID3v2.4. The big problem here is that there are several different versions and the code required is extremely complicated - mainly due to the use of variable length fields. So we not only have to find the property, but read the field length before getting the field contents. Writing would need to change the coded field length. This is further complicated by there being the option to use an "Extended Tag" - *or not* ! Version 2 tag can be at the beginning or end of the file (before ID3v1 if it exists) - or both. The MP3 files on my computer all seem to have both versions - v2 at the beginning and v1 at the end. It is further complicated by the ability to have User Defined fields. I see some of my files have a user defined 'Genre' field, despite having the standard one 'TCON' too. The tag also needs a form of "encryption" so that the mp3 player does not treat it as audio data. Visit here for detailed information http://www.id3.org .
To view an audio file in its raw state open it in a Text Editor. I use 'TexPad' which is very fast and gives a choice of Binary (with Text 'translation' in a column) or Text view. Notepad gives just a Text view with empty space for non-text/binary characters. There is a large number of Null characters Asc(0) in proportion to the overall file length - mainly for "future development" I believe.
I would be interested to hear of any comments, suggestions and code improvements.
