My apologies if this might sound a bit newbish compared to other questions asked on this forum, but I'm new to vba and there are 2 things I can't work out.
1) I wrote a function that takes an arguement and wish to call that from a number of buttons I placed on my worksheet, each button passing it a different value for the parameter. How can I do that?
2) From my code, can I reference back to the button to change its text?
Is there a way to change the text on a toggle button in the code below? Basically I would like for the toggle button to begin with the word "START" on it and then when clicked changed to the word "STOP". Of course then when the user clicks on "STOP" it changes back to "START".
Sub uncheck_all() Dim sh As Shape Application.ScreenUpdating = False For Each sh In ActiveSheet.Shapes
[Code]....
Currently, the button just unchecks a bunch of checkmarks. I want to modify the code so it also makes the value in cell C13 change to -9999, C14 to 9999, C16 to -9999 and C17 to 9999.
I have a button wich will add data entered on a form to a spreadsheet if the data meets certain criteria. If it does not it will not let you add anything. I would like to add a second button that will add the data even if it does not meet the criteria but I need the second button to only be enabled with a password. Maybe a macro to change the button properties from locked to unlocked (true to false).
My boss wants a spreadsheet that has multiple buttons on it that will change the background color of a specific cell to four different colors. Example:
Text written in Cell B3, Button in Cell A3 that will change the Background color of Cell B3 to either Green, Yellow, Red or Blue.
There will be a lot of buttons on this worksheet following the same format as above. I don't want to change the value of what is in the cell, just the background color.
I am looking to find a way and synthesize code that will prompt the user for text data when he/she clicks a radio button, then place that text data in a "Notes" worksheet within the same workbook. Given that there are multiple radio buttons, with options of "OK" and "attention needed" (it is a checklist of maintenance items), I also need to find a way to have each note listed sequentially in the notes worksheet. My questions: Is this possible using macros? Can you steer me in the right direction? (change event, inputbox, then what?)
I am my excel worksheet (excel 2010) I have one cell that changes every day (number). I want this number to open my htm document and replace the same number in a string in the htm and save/close this.
An example: My htm document is located at C:/ and named XX.htm
The number I want from excel is in cell A1 in sheet1, and the worksheet is located in D:/ named yy.xlsx
And the text(number) I want to replace is in the following string in the htm document, in this string it is 72, next day it can be 30:
How do I copy the button text and use it in a macro?
I have a worksheet that tracks several employees' work. I copy the rows with their work into a sheet with their name. Right now I have eight macros with the macros referencing their names. I would like to have one macro and just change the name depending on the button I pick.
I have a togglebutton for an excel sheet in use for scoring psychological tests. When pressed, the button higlights the cells where a raw score is inserted.
What I need is a code to higlight the togglebutton when pressed, eg. green (colorindex 4). The button is white. How to do this?
Below is the code, It has more lines than needed, but it works.
Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click() 'FKV TOGGLE'
ActiveSheet.Unprotect "manisk" If ToggleButton1 Then
I am trying to copy part of a macro I use in one workbook which has a button which when clicked initiates the macro and changes the text displayed on the button from "Selection tree - On" to "Selection tree - Off". The code used in the original workbook (which functions ok) is:
how to put together a macro for a command button that deletes rows with certain text in a docyment - which worked fine a week or so ago - but now the macro will not work.
I made changes to the document - but made sure i also made changes to the code.
Can I use a macro to change text in a cell? As an example, I have this list of names in a column. I'd like every other name to have a semicolon instead of a comma after the name. My list has commas now
Tommy, Joe, Warren. Billy, Bob, George,
And I want it to look like this. Tommy, Joe; Warren. Billy; Bob, George;
Since I'm using macros on this page, I'd like to use a macro to do this
Macro works fine if i manually enter a time ie: 14:00 into cell a5 but it only sees a5 as text not as a time format how do i change it so the macro is looking for time not text entry?
Code: Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range) Application.ScreenUpdating = False If Target.Address = "$A$5" Then Dim raceTime As String raceTime = Target.Value If raceTime "" Then
Is there a way to change the text on a label in a form with macros. Im going to be updating some values (Years) and want these to change automatically.
creating a macro. I would like the background color of certain cells under column A (cells 12:25, 27:32, 34:38, 40:45, 47:51, 53:61, 63:70, 72:79, 81:88, 90:92) to change to the color green and display the text "Complete" on mouseclick.
Before the cell is clicked, it would be the color red, with no text. (I'm not sure if you need to know that).
Next, I would need a macro that resets everything back to red. I hope this macro could be assigned to a form button.
Context: I have a spreadsheet that contains a list of employee names and their certifications. I want to be able to assign a button to each employee in column B with a macro that is able to zip files from a folder that contains that employees name.
The following code assigns buttons to each employee in column B. At the moment the code I have is able to assign the macro "Zip" to each button.
[Code] .....
Now, this Zip macro is able to zip the file for the employee "Anthony Tran". However I need it to be able to recognise which employee's button I've clicked and search the same files as above except with that employees name instead of "Anthony Tran".
If it makes things easier, the code for creating buttons for each employee is able to name that button as the employees name that it represents.
This is probably really straight forward but cant see why it happens, the following macro works fine when called by a button created by the form toolbar but doesnt when called by a command button, get the runtime error 1004, "select method of range class failed"

how can I change the button/shape name of a Form Button in Excel 2003? I assigned a name using the NameBox, however if I try to change the name via the NameBox, it does and work and the old name remains.
If the user selects French (radio button selection), I want to swap out the existing English text for French and vice versa. One large text box with several paragraphs. Can Excel do this?
i have some existing code which is trigerred when anything is input into column c. The code then adds various information in another three columns. One of which pastes a vlookup formulae, and i would like this forumlae pasted into the column c cell which i initialy edited, in order to remove the requirement for one additional column.
The existing code i have is:
Code: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) Dim MyText As String MyText = Environ("username") If Target.Cells.Column = 3 Then With Target If .Value "" Then .Offset(0, 2).Formula = "=VLOOKUP(D:D,'P:TAOffshoreTAOffshoreTreasuryRecsGeneralCommit ID''s for control Sheet - Do not move or delete[commit ids - DO NOT DELETE OR MOVE.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$B$65536,2,0)"
[code].....
I have tried changing the offset to (0,0) or changing the offset to 'target = ', which does add in the vlookup but then the macro debugs at the 'If .Value "" Then' code?
a button to run a macro but i don't like the standard plain grey buttons that excel offers. i saw a friend using one in his project but don't want to ask him how he did it as it would be considered copying. i will add an image to explain my specifications. there must be an easier way than having to design it and you vba to code the colour change.
I have several buttons which, when clicked, pull up a range of data from another tab. Each button repopulates the appropriate cells with its specific data. I need to have an identification of which data set I'm currently viewing so was considering having the button, when clicked, change color or background/lettering colors swap, etc, until another button is clicked, then it changes color and the original button returns to the standard format. Is this possible? What type of button do I need to use?
How do you references the properties of a shape? I am having trouble with 2 different types. Firstly, I have a worksheet with a group of commandbuttons (all added using the Control toolbox) and I want to loop through them changing, for example, the enabled property of each to TRUE.
Secondly, I have some commandbuttons on a worksheet (added using the Forms toolbox). How would I loop through changing, say, the text on the buttons. I used the macro recorder to try to get an idea and got the following:
Sheet1.Shapes("button 15").Select Selection.Characters.Text = "New Text"
Although this works, it is not very elegant, how can it be achieved without selecting the button each time, but rather by directly accessing the property.
I am trying to assign a macro to the Print button on the Standard Toolbar. Basically I want that button to print the number of pages I've specified in a cell, but I still want to be able to use the 'File/Print...' option if I need to.
I did try to solve this issue in an earlier post, but this exact problem remained unsolved. For more information
My code works well if the worksheet name is Sheet1. It will change constantly. I have alot of other similar workbooks that are not affected and cannot figure this out. Here is the code that I get the error at: ....
