Changing Column Data Based On Another Columns Focus
Mar 4, 2014I have 1 sheet called Setup which users enter their character name, their class, and their race, additionally the entire workbook manages data for up to 9 individual characters.
On another sheet called C|R|E, I have tasks listed that are based on each class type and each race type that are available. Currently there are nine classes and four races. Currently on this sheet each class and each race has its own individual data lists and such, and formulas are done in a way that user inputted data can be entered anywhere, but wont count unless the class and race match those selected on the Setup sheet. To keep the sheet short in appearance I used command buttons to hide/unhide classes or races not in use by the user.
What I was wondering is (and this could be hard to describe), can data in one column be changed to reflect data based on another column's focus? I will explain in more detail.
Column B contains the task information for each Class and Race. For example Cells B13-B51 for one class, Burglar. Columns D-L is where users enter data to show if the task is completed or not. In this example lets say the users first character listed on the Setup sheet is a Champion. What I want to do is check the Setup sheet Char 1. Then based on what Char 1 is selected as on the Setup Sheet, C|R|E B13-B51 data is changed to reflect it, IF Column D currently has focus. If Column E gets focus then B13-B51 changes based on the class selected on the setup sheet for character 2. and etc.
If this can be done I can remove the 13 different sections and have it down to 2 sections, one for class, one for race. For now I am using check boxes to hide classes and races they are not currently using, but would like to move all classes into one table and all races into one table to they dont have trouble with columns they have to skip over currently.
This is a sample of how I am currently working on the C|R|E sheet, the full code is much much longer since I am using so many command buttons.

VB Code Error When Workbook Loses Focus
Aug 30, 2008Overview: I have a workbook named MainPage.xls. This mainpage has several buttons and serves as a switchboard to launch other workbooks. Attached to this Main Page are two worksheets, "Source" and "Value1". The "Source" worksheet is graphical in nature and is used to collect data via a DDE channel to some production industrial processors and then on a timer "log" the data to cells in the "Value1" worksheet. Once the VB code is launched from the "Source" worksheet (via a start button), the code continues to run until it is stopped (via a stop button). The data is then graphed and printed out, etc.
This works very nicely and provides "live" graphing of some constantly changing data.
Once the "Source" worksheet data VB code is running, I need to be able to minimize the worksheets and return to my Main Page and further be able to open any one of the other workbooks on the Main Page and work with that page(s). Thus far, I can minimize the "Source" and "Value1" worksheets and return to the Main Page and the VB code runs along nicely in the background.
However... IF I attempt to open any other workbook from the Main Page, my data collection/graphing code stops and I get a Run-time error 9, subscript out of range... and Excel completely shuts down.
I know this must have something to do with the worksheet that runs the VB code losing focus when another workbook is opened.

ActiveX Textbox To Receive Focus On Workbook Open?
Aug 28, 2013When the workbook opens, sheet 1 is selected. There is an activex textbox on sheet 1 that should receive focus.
using "textbox1.setfocus" or textbox1.activate" does not accomplish what I need. I have also applied this the setfocus and activate to the worksheet open event but without success.

Aug 6, 2012I have a workbook "Weekly Field Report-Master Copy" and another workbook "Weekly Field Report $$$-Master" The "Weekly Field Report $$$-Master" workbook has all the formulas that pull data from the "Weekly Field Reports-Master Copy" workbook and populates a financial report of that week's field unit production.
When I save the "Weekly Field Report-Master Copy" workbook to a new name "Weekly Field Report Job #1" and then save the "Weekly Field Report $$$-Master Copy" workbook to a new name "Weekly Field Report $$$-Job #1" is there a way to automatically change the formulas in the "Weekly Field Report $$$-Job #1" workbook to now pull data from the "Weekly Field Report Job #1" workbook instead of the "Weekly Field Report-Master Copy" workbook???
Currently I am manually changing the formulas in the new workbook "Weekly Field Report $$$-Job #1" to reference the data in the new workbook "Weekly Field Report Job #1". Otherwise the formulas pull the data from the "Weekly Field Report-Master Copy".
Hyperlink Within Workbook Without Changing Name Of Link
May 27, 2014I have an overview worksheet that features a list of dates; I want to hyperlink the dates to the another worksheet within the workbook that represents the month. I want to do this without changing the dates in the overview sheet. For example, I have 2014-05-23, 2014-05-24,2014-05-25 in my overview sheet and I have a worksheet titled May 2014. When I try to hyperlink the dates to the May worksheet it turns the dates to #### in the overview sheet. How can I stop that from happening?

Nov 5, 2013I am working with two files everyday: today's and yesterday's. Each report has the day's date in the name of the file.
So I'll take today's (11-5) and import it into yesterday's (11-4). Then, tomorrow I'll take 11-6 and import into 11-5. The day after, I'll take 11-7 and import into 11-6. So on and so forth. I'm trying to figure out how I can get VBA to accommodate these changes in names. So that it sees the date in the name of today's report, sees that it is today's, then selects yesterday's (or says "Open yesterday's report!"), and imports the information.
I can figure out everything else, just not the naming issue.
I guess I could always stipulate to the person running it that they should only have these two workbooks open and that they should run the macro starting in yesterday's workbook. Just writing VBA code to select the only other workbook so VLOOKUP can be done from it. But I am trying to make it fool proof.
Saving Workbook And Changing File Name?
Mar 20, 2014I've got a macro set up to copy a range of cells in one workbook, open another existing workbook, and then paste that range. So far so good.
However, I need the macro to also save a copy of that second workbook with a filename that is derived from the original workbook.
To be a bit clearer, let me give an example of how I'd like this to work. Let's say the original workbook is titled Pickle2014-03-14.Raw.xlsm, and I have a second workbook titled UploadFormat.xlsx. I want to run the macro in Pickle2014-03-14.Raw.xlsm, have the data pasted to UploadFormat.xlsx, then save UploadFormat.xlsx with the file name Pickle2014-03-14.Final.xlsx.

Changing A Workbook Event Handler Via Code
Feb 5, 2007I have a workbook, that when opened the first time needs to prompt the user to save it. I got that working with no issues by using
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
SaveOnOpen
End Sub
where SaveOnOpen is a procedure in another module. What I would like to do now is re-assign the Workbook_Open sub to be set to null, so that it doesn't run any more. Is it possible to somehow assign Workbook_Open to call a null procedure, as opposed to setting up an onTime call to delete the code itself?

Changing Workbook That Is Looked Up On INDEX Function As Formula Dragged Down
Dec 13, 2013I have a variety of different order forms in workbooks titled IT1314-0001, IT1314-0002, IT1314-0003...etc... They're all stored in the same location, but they need to be on different workbooks as each workbook is sent as an order form to a different organization, for that organization to fill in. All of the order forms have the same layout, but the user will input different information onto them.
In a summary workbook of all of these Order Forms, I need to be able to drag down an INDEX formula, such that the INDEX looks in a different workbook (the next workbook in the sequence) with each row. As you go down the rows, it should look like;
INDEX(‘[IT1314-0001.xlsPARTS A & B!$D$5:$E$5, 1, 1)
INDEX(‘[IT1314-0002.xlsPARTS A & B!$D$5:$E$5, 1, 1)
INDEX(‘[IT1314-0003.xlsPARTS A & B!$D$5:$E$5, 1, 1)
INDEX(‘[IT1314-0004.xlsPARTS A & B!$D$5:$E$5, 1, 1)
Can this be done without VBA?

Jan 8, 2009I am running software that calls an Excel macro using DDE. The macro populates a sheet with information to be printed, then prints the sheet.
I would like for this to take place in the background with Excel never taking focus from the software that calls the Excel macro. Currently Excel some times takes focus from the software and some times does not. The macro also takes the information it prints and stores it to another sheet, but I don't think that's the culprit stealing focus from the other software.

Jun 24, 2009I've made a non-modal 'Toolbox' form that floats over my worksheets. When a button is clicked a graphic item is copied from a hidden sheet and pasted into the current sheet. The graphic remains selected but the toolbox form takes the focus away from the sheet. When the user wants to move the graphic there is no problem in mouse-dragging but I'd like the user to be able to nudge the graphic using the keyboard arrow keys without having to click to give the sheet the focus. So, I guess the question is: How can I give focus to the worksheet following the Paste action?
