Change Activecell Of An Inactive Sheet
Dec 18, 2008
CopyPaste operations leaves the goal range selected and I don't want that. The .Activate and .Select methods seem to require that the cell to be selected refers to the ActiveSheet.
What I'm doing now to change the active-cell is kind of:
1. Disable ScreenUpdating
2. Save a reference to ActiveCell
3. Activate the relevant goal-worksheet
4. Change the ActiveCell to the upper-left-cell of the Selection
5. Come back by the reference in point number 2
6. Enable ScreenUpdating.
It works, but seems to me as a huge job for something as simple than "collapsing" a multi-cell-selection. Another irritating problem is the slight screen-shaking caused by the disabling/enabling ScreenUpdating.

I need to grab data from one sheet while I'm in a different one - same workbook, however. From the first sheet, the data that I need would be an "activeCell.value" issue. From the other sheet, however, how can I get that cell's data - an "inactiveCell.value" call, in essence? Right now, I'm getting around it by assigning the value to a global variable but that seems wasteful.

How would I add this formula as a worksheet function with VBA. I can't see INT, MOD or Year in VBA. Also want to change C2 to change to activecell column + row 2.
=INT(((C2-1461)- SUM(MOD( DATE(YEAR(C2-MOD(C2,7)+3),1,2)-1461,{1E+99,7})*{1,-1})+5)/7)

I want to create ranges in a worksheet that is inactive.I have 3 sheets in the worksheet and i want, while the first sheet remains active, to create ranges in the second one.
I'm using the following code that creates no errors no matter how i use it but it works only if the second sheet is active.

In VBA, is there code to clear all filters from an inactive worksheet or does the worksheet need to be activated?

I tried to save a macro but it doesn't work (I am inexperienced!).
What I need is to copy five columns (e.g. range C:G) and copy it in another sheet ('1' range C:G). Subsequently, I have to copy the next range of five columns available (i.e. range H:L) and copy it in the consecutive sheet (i.e. '2' range C:G), and so on.

Does this code copy all cells from the active cell up to the last non-blank cell, or is it up to the first blank cell after the last non-blank cell?

i have a workbook that contained a single sheet, i ciopied this sheet and amended them accordingly (ie picking up different variables etc).
For some reason every now and again some of the cells on the sheets that are effectively copies of the original dont update, i literally have to click on them and hit Enter.
I know that calculation is switched on as automatic.

I added a combo box to each sheet of a workbook. Each box referenced a range within the sheet and linked to a cell on the sheet. Each box was tested and worked perfectly. Yesterday. On opening the book today, however, I've discovered each combo box is dead in the water. They are totally inactive and can't be activated in any way. I've checked the properties sheet for each and can't see anything out sorts. As a test, I added a new combo box to a sheet, and interestingly enough, it not only works fine, but also seems to have activated the original box, which also now works fine. Other boxes on the other sheets are still inactive, however.

I am having a "cosmetic" issue that I was curious if I can fix it.. I have a workbook that opens a network workbook, saves some data to it, and then closes the network workbook.
Everything is working fine, except I cant get the code to "reactivate" the initial workbook. After excel saves and closes the 2nd workbook I opened, my screen stays on my desktop, instead of refocusing on the initial workbook. I have to manually click on the initial workbook in my taskbar to bring it back into focus...
I thought the below code would bring the inital workbook back into "focus" on the users screen, but it's not working.
Windows("NEWRightFit.xls").Activate
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Windows("sxssubmit.xls").Activate
Confirmation.Show
End Sub
I just moved the Application.ScreenUpdating line as initially I had it at the very bottom, but that did not correct. The confirmation.show is just a dialog box that informs the user the changes were saved successfully. I would like the first workbook "sxssubmit.xls" to come back into focus automatically though, without the user having to manually select it from the taskbar.
What is my code missing?

I use the 'on time' function to kick users out of a shared workbook after 30 minutes of inactivity (i.e. no cells updated). Technically it works, as it does kick out the users.
However the time after which it does so seems to bear no relation to the time I have instructed. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer! If it is was always longer, I would be happy that there is an error in my code somewhere (i.e. the time value is resetting on an unexpected event that I need to find and alter).

I open two spreadsheets only. In one of them I would like the filename of the other spreadsheet shown in cell A1.
The reason why is the filename is a 6 number date and I'd like to confirm it showing in full format.

I tried to use Workbooks("Inactivebookname.xlsm").Close False
and many variations thereof, but I simply cannot close this workbook when currently another workbook is active.
I have no problem in closing an active workbook with

I'm just trying to figure out how to implment UDFs. I got a nice tool that provides linear interpolation for a data table. Unfortunately after saving, closing and opening the file the cells only show #NAME? in it. Do I have to activate macros or something like that?

I am using PrimoPDF, as suggested elsewhere in the forum, to attach a PDF to an E:Mail and send it automatically, it works a treat ... however, I do have to manually intervene to click on the OK button & then again to click on YES when the filename is duplicate. I would like to automate these actions and am looking for a way to do it. It looked like the SendKeys command was perfect, but I'm not 100% sure how to do it. The PrimoPDF window is open, named as "PrimoPDF", but is not my active window, so I have put PrimoPDF.SendKeys "{Enter}"
... into the program but I am getting the error message "Run Time Error '424': Object required". Is this something to do with my code ? I am guessing that the program isn't recognising that PrimoPDF is an open & inactive window, so am I missing a prefix here or is it something more serious, like having to add a new Component or Additional Controls ?

I have a drop down lets say in cell A1. Based on what value is selected in A1, the user should see a different set of check boxes. My thought, which may not be the best way to implement this, is to have all the check boxes and depending on the value selected in A1, the check boxes that are relevant should be active or visible, while the unneeded ones are inactive or invisible.

I have a bit of code in sheet two of my document that requires user input to produce output. However I have the document set up in a vway that requires the actual input to be placed in a vell in sheet one, and the cell in sheet two is just "=cell in sheet one". This causes the input cell in sheet two to change but the output cell does not produce the new answer.

i need to modify it so that a selection on the beam input page causes the images to change on the beam output page. Currently this code is in the module section of VBA.

Here's the situation:
I want to search through the cells in a column to locate text in one of the cells. If this text is found, I want to make that the ActiveCell and then insert a row underneath it. If this particular text is not found, I want to insert a row and put that text that wasnt found into the first cell in the created row.
I trimmed down my code a lot so I could post it here.
So, in this particular case, once the user selects one of two product lines (named "ADC" and "DAC"), I want to first search for that text and if it is found I want that to be the new activecell and insert a new row.
The main problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to set the "Foundcell" as being the new active cell. My initial activecell is set by locating and selecting the cell containing the text "Product Line".
Here's my

I want to use the following command but with more to it:
X=0
Y=0
Z=10
ActiveCell.Offset(rowOffset:=X, columnOffset:=Y).Activate
I want to use this type of command to highlight an area...not just move rows/columns. I want it to highlight from a point on the sheet marked by X and Y and then down Z rows.
So if I'm in cell A1 and want to highight from A1 down to A10, I'm not sure how to write that part of the code.
