I am trying to import txt files into Excel but instead of inmporting every row, I use the following method to select only the rows I want:
Much ADO About Text Files
However, it mentions a schema needs to be created.
For example:
[File1.txt]
Col1=Name Text
Col2=Age Integer
[File2.txt]
Col1=Name Text
Col2=Age Integer
This is not a problem if I know the names of all the csv files I am importing (I can create one manually) but since I don't know how many files need to be imported, how can I create a schema for it?
Would it be possible to use VBA and create the schema dynamically?
I'm trying to pull specific data from XML files using XBRL structure. An example XML file is here Index of /Archives/edgar/data/104169/000010416912000018 file: 0000104169-12-000018-xbrl.zip (it's a Walmart financial filing from 31oct2012)
My understanding is that once that file is downloaded it's possible to pull specific bits of data using VB. I know very little about XML parsing and search but two sources. However I'm getting Run-time error 91 and I can't undrstand why the object variable isn't set.
Code:
Sub GetXBRLData() Dim LOADFILE As String LOADFILE = "'path to file'wmt-20121031.xml" 'xml instance document Dim CONCEPT As String CONCEPT = "us-gaap:AccountsPayableCurrent"
Is there a way to change a line of vba code using an input box?
The current macro downloads a file from our intranet. However the filename changes each week. It is only the last portion of the filename that changes since this part is the date it is created. e.g filename010507.xls filename090507.xls
What I want to do is for an input box to pop up, the user then enter the date and this will then replace the existing filename in the code with the new date.
I am trying to automate the status date on worksheet so that if ANY data is changed/ added/ deleted within a range (cells "B6:L34"), the status date will insert today's date in Cell "S6" but if the worksheet is open and no changes occur within that range, the date remains the same. I used this code below and it is not working.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim R1 As Range Dim R2 As Range Dim InRange As Boolean Set R1 = Range("S6") Set R2 = Range("B6:L34")
I am trying to create a model that has a mixture of conditional formatting and data validation formulas within it, but have run into a problem in one area. Essentially, cell E10 is a Validation which pulls a drop down list of names. One of the options in this list is "Other".
I want to create a VBA code to make sure that cell E12 will get rid of any input, turn grey (color index = 15), and potentially lock (if possible!) if the "Other" is chosen by the user in cell E10. If any other value is chosen for cell E10, Cell E12 needs to remain unlocked and white (color index=2).
I'm uploading a sample worksheet- on the scenario A tab, there is a pivot table that are pulling from the data range that is between B3:c13. I copied tab A and made tab B. However, on tab B, the pivot table is still pulling from the data range on scenario A even though I need it to be pulling from tab B.
I do not want to use dynamic ranges because the pivot table is being used to make a pivot chart. How do I get it so that on the scenario B tab the pivot table automatically pulls from the right tab?
I have also have a macro/VBA (I don't know what it is considered, I just copied code from somewhere online) that automatically refreshes all pivot tables (there are other pivot tables being used in the spreadsheet). If I did need to use vba/macro to accomplish what I need to do, where would I copy/paste it in the code I currently have (not sure if the button I have in sample will work properly)?
Sub Refresh() Dim PT As PivotTable Dim WS As Worksheet For Each WS In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets For Each PT In WS.PivotTables PT.RefreshTable Next PT Next WS End Sub
On tab B, I manually created another pivot table to show what I want the end result to look like. The pivot table between rows 22 and 24 and the corresponding pivot chart between columns E and M (lets call this pivot table/chart #1) is what I'm trying to manipulate. The pivot table between rows 26 and 28 and the corresponding pivot chart between columns o and V is what I want the end result to look like. I made pivot table/chart #2 by just manually setting the data source to be "ScenarioB!$B$3:$C$13.
However what I'm trying to do is get it so that pivot table #1 would automatically refer to ScenarioB!$B$3:$C$13 instead of ScenarioA!$B$3:$C$13. I created the tab "scenario B" but just duplicating the scenario a sheet. Thus, when I duplicate, the pivot table still incorrectly refers to data on the scenario A tab. I want it to pull from the scenario B tab.
The data range between $B$3:$C$13 automatically pulls from another sheet in my real spreadsheet.
I was using this code in a sheet that contained combo boxes and it worked great. When I redone the sheet a used data validation instead of CB it wold error out.
Code: Sub savee() Range("A4:J22").Select For Each Cell In Selection If Not Cell.HasFormula Then Cell.Value = UCase(Cell.Value) End If Next Cell Range("h4").Select ActiveWorkbook.Save End Sub
I'd like to create a macro that searches a column within a changing, variable range.
For example, I have a roster with a list of teams. Each team is separated by a blank row. In each team, there are a varying number of team members, and one team leader. Column I has the position code, which designates whether the person is the team leader (SL), or just a team member (RD).
What I'd like to do, is search each team for the team leader, then check another column (Col A) just within that team for another value, and if that value is present return the last name of the team leader as well as the name of the member with the value in Col A.
The problem is, I'm not sure how to search a varying range in Col I. Teams can vary in size from 3-11 members (including leader), and the number of teams varies each day. I don't have the option of changing the format or layout of the roster - it's automatically generated by some other program and given to me in a CSV list.
For example, from this sample data of two teams
Testing Program : DKSFS Scoring Center : Concord Rater Schedule Date : 07/29/2013
[Code]....
how to define that range in Col I which changes with each new team. My approach is to find a way to search a range (essentially the values between blank cells ) in Col I for the value "SL", then search that same range in Col A for the value "VM". If there's a value of VM within that range (team), then copy Cols A-E, write them to a list, and insert that person's team leader last name at the right.
how to define a dynamic range in Col I? I already have a working macro written which generates that last time, sans team leader name, just trying to figure out how to search that changing range in Col I for each team to find team leader name.
Note, not all teams will have a member flagged with that VM marker in Col A.
I 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?
I have made several Shapes and assigned macros to them, all is good.
What i am curious about: is it possible to highlight or change colour of the shape on press and return to normal if another is shape is pressed? Just anything to make that particular shape stand out that it has been selected then return to normal when another shape has been selected...
[Code] ....
That is the code so far that is attached to 1x shape...
Is it possible to write VBA code that will prevent a user from changing a cell's contents, depending on the cell's font color?
More specifically, I have a column of text in range B15:B64. Some of the cells will have a black font, others will be blue. Is it possible to lock the black font cells only, leaving the blue cells unlocked for users to change?
Code: If .Range("K" & t) = "AUTO" Then .Range("K" & t) = Format(Application.VLookup(.Range("A" & t), rcore, 54, False), "h:mmA/P") With .Range("K" & t)[code]....
It is intended to change the font colour to white when the cell = "AUTO". It does, but it also changes the contents of the cell (like NA, and NR) to white when they aren't equal to AUTO.
I have a macro that, at varying places, changes the formatting of adjacent cells. The formatting code is easy to generate via the macro recorder, but it's long - longer than the macro itself - and I'm using it a couple of times (due to if statements). That makes it difficult to read. It's usable, but looks ugly. I'd like to streamline its appearance.
Is there a way to do something like:
Code: If range("F5").Value > 0 then Activecell.Offset(1,0) format = blah ElseIf Range("F5").Value = 0 then Activecell.Offset(-1,0) format = blah End If
The formatting I want is dark gray interior with a border box around it. The macro recorder generated this:
Code: Sub test2() ' ' test2 Macro ' ' With Selection.Interior .Pattern = xlSolid .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic .ThemeColor = xlThemeColorDark1
The following block of code is evaluating the term in the array, if it exists and the value in col. M is a non integer, (which what I am testing for are fractions) then format the cell to a fraction number format. That is ok, except it is changing the numberformat on text terms. I want it only to change the numberformat on numeric values. I added the function Isnumeric to this line:
Isnumeric(cells(i, "M").value) Int(cells(i, "M").value) which I thought would only evaluate numeric cells only, but this was unsuccessful.
Original Code: Unedited.
For i = 4 To LRowf For Each Item In Array("HAT", "FTWR", "BOOT", "BOOTG", "BOOTY", "HWRISR", "HWBLTS") On Error Resume Next If (Cells(i, "F").Value = Item Or Cells(i, "G").Value = Item) And _ Cells(i, "M").Value Int(Cells(i, "M").Value) Then Cells(i, "M").NumberFormat = "# ?/?" On Error GoTo 0 Exit For 'End If End If
I have some code for changing the scale of my chart axes so that when new data is inserted into the column which the chart sources from (say column B), the axis scales on my chart will automatically adjust (as the Excel algorithm sometimes leads to charts which are a bit squashed). This code works fine, and I have included it below.
I have then tried to introduce an ActiveX listbox so that when you select an item in the box, the reference number generated (1,2,3...etc) then determines which data series is inserted into column B using a vlookup function. However, when I do this, the original VBA code for automatically adjusting the chart axes no longer works.
Option Explicit Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Chart
I have a spreadsheet that will contain about 5-15 rows with a letter "S" in the column. If this letter S appears in the column, I need its entire row to change font color to RED and then change that row's value in column L to a negative number. is there any easy way to do this?
I am trying to populate many arrays with the same code using something like this. For this test, assume the following data in A1.
1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25
Code: Sub populate() Dim firstArr(5), secondArr(5), thirdArr(5), fourthArr(5), fifthArr(5) As Integer Dim r, c, num As Integer
[Code]....
The above code does not work of course and falls over. I am unsure whether I should try and concatenate with something like this eg "" & arrName(i) = Cells (r,c) or go down a different route.
This may have been answered on here but can not seem to find it. My situation is I have values in A1,A2 & A3 that are like counter reading so the value is always changing. What I am looking to do is change the cell color if one of the values is over 500 from the other two values. Say A1 is 3000, A2 is 3250 and A3 is 3500. I would like the cell for A3 to change color.
Moving between different sheets changes the procedure window, which is a good thing, but can also can be error prone and annoying to search through several windows searching for the procedure or module currently working on. Is there a setting somewhere to prevent VBE from changing the current procedure window?
I use excel 2002 but some of my office are on 97, i want to add a small workbook open event code which works for me but debugs for the others?? The code is basically, go to a tab, on that tab and that range sort..
I've developed a little software using Excel Macros & VB. To prevent people from accesing the code I protected the code blocking it from visualization. It seems not enough as an acquaintance of a friend cracked it in 25 minutes. Or so he says. So I'd like to know if there is a better way to protect the font code.
I have an excel file having part code,name,vendor and Qty ( Quantity ).
My problem is that I want to apply an excel formula to pick up that vendor code who have highest Qty of a part code.The condition is that S.No.should not be disturbed.This file is so large,but here I have taken an example,
I am dealing with several very large spreadsheets using VBA to do various things. I found that my code worked well, but was taking a long time to run. The biggest time consumer was my use of the AutoFilter features. I have since turned calculations to manual before my code runs and set it back to auto when my code is done running. What are the potential consequences of my turning calculations to manual and then back to auto?
I have previously used the following code to successfully pull out IE webpage source code for string manipulation.
Its a crude example to demonstrate the principle:
Public Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long) Public IE As Object Sub Sample() Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") IE.Visible = True
[Code] ......
However when I substitute in a Google websites address into the IE.Navigate command, the code runs to the "Source_Code = IE.document ...." line then flags up a Microsoft Visual Basic error. "Run-time error '438': Object doesn't support this property or method"
The webpage that I am trying to access is a confidential company site, so you won't be able to access it yourself, but starts with [URL] ......
The one thing that I have noticed about this website is the Privacy Report icon in the lower right status window (Picture of an eye with a restricted symbol in front). I don't know whether this is the cause of my problem, or purely an incidental observation.
Is there something peculiar with Google sites that means that the source code cannot be extracted in general, or is this an issue specific to my site ? Does the Privacy Report icon have any relevance, and if so how do I switch that off ?
My company has files that are already in use. I don't know too many details about how they work, but somehow saving the file will screw it up and my boss has to go back and reset something or other to correct it. Obviously it's connected to some other software somewhere. The code below will block Save and Save-As. BUT how do I get the file to hold onto the code without actually saving the file after the code is added (since the file shouldn't be saved)?
VB: Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) If SaveAsUI = False Then Cancel = True
