during the executiuon of a macro, I would like to " record" the content of a given worksheet. Later on, I'd like to compare the recorded contents with what the worksheet presently looks like, and return True if the content of at least one cell has changed, False otherwise.
View 2 RepliesI am running Excel 97 on one PC and 2003 on another, both need access to a workbook and both need to amend that workbook.
In my Macros I have a line in the Workbook to save etc
Workbooks("WB Name").Close SaveChanges:=True
When I run the macro on the 97 PC I get a message stating that the "file was created with a newer version of Excel Continue with save Y/N"
I have tried
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Workbooks("WB Name").Close SaveChanges:=True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
but the file does not save.
I have two numbers, they are version numbers, I am having problems with my If then else and elseif statements.
59821 for version 5.9.8.2.1
is more than
5983 for version 5.9.8.3
even though 5.9.8.3 is a greater version number. Do you see where my problem is. How do I compare # by # reading it, checking to see what one is bigger and going from there. so when it gets to the 3 of the 5983 its bigger than 2 of 5982 of the 5.9.8.2.1
The other day, someone sent me a spreadsheet with multiple worksheets. I needed to be able to send each worksheet to an individual for review, and each recipient did not need to see everyone else's sheet. So I found a tip on-line that included the following VBA code to save the sheets to separate Excel files. Life was good until those who didn't have Office 2007 could not open their sheets, even though the original file had been saved with the Excel 97-2003 option. They had first received the message, "The file you are trying to open, "<filename>" is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" When they said yes, all they saw was a scramble of machine code. I thought that maybe there was a special extension for Excel 97-2003 files, but when I looked it up in a book I have, it just said the extension was .xls, which is what the code used. Is there other formating that needed to be saved?

I have a long table like this:
Car,date last washed
Civic, 11/1/2012
F150, 5/4/2013
Corvette, 7/3/2013
If I washed the Corvette, I'd add another row to it:
Corvette, 10/22/2013
And I would like to remove the "Corvette, 7/3/2013" entry. What's the easiest (read: least user intervention) way of doing this?
I have a dir with over 150.000 files in it, especially pdf, doc and xls. Now I'm looking for a script or program that will automatically search the entire directory and look for old xls files, open them and save them in a new(er) version. I'm working with a software that needs to use these XLS files in my directory but it can't use the old xls-versions. It's an impossible job to search by hand for the old versions and put them in a new(er) version.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have created an index of documents in Excel 2003. I have one "master" worksheet containing a list of documents and their corresponding version numbers. On another worksheet, I record details of changes to the documents and hence changes to version numbers. This list will constantly grow over time, and in any order depending on the documents to be changed. However I want certain fields to automatically update themselves, namely the version number.
So for example, I have a column to evaluate if document changes are required, yes or no.
If "Yes" is selected, I want the version number in another cell to automatically update to the next in sequence (add one). So if changes are required, V1 becomes V2 etc. Now the next version number will depend on the previous version number, so before it decides if it adds one, or not, it needs to lookup the value of the current version number in a range. Again, as its a list of different documents this can only be done by first looking up the unique document number.
So to summarise, I need it to lookup the unique doc number in a range and find the one that has the highest version number against it, and return its version number. And then encompass all of this with the If statement to evaluate whether or not the version number needs to add one.
Is there a way to disable the Convert button on the File menu and also to limit the Save As file types? I have a workbook that I maintain in Office 2003 that gets filled out by customers and returned. When a user with a newer version of Excel converts the file, it doesn't function properly when I go open it. I believe the conversion issue has to do with Active X Controls, but I'm using them to do some things that won't work with Forms Controls, so replacing them would be a last resort. Also, upgrading Office isn't an option at this point.

I'm trying to compare cells in two spreadsheets and return a value to another cell in one of those spreadsheets.
SPREADSHEET_1
Column A - NAME (Contains Data)
Column B - AREA (Contains Data)
Column C - PLAN (Contains Data)
SPREADSHEET_2
Column A - AREA (Contains Data)
Column B - NAME (EMPTY)
Column C - PLAN (EMPTY)
I need to compare Spreadsheet_1 - Column B to Spreadsheet_2 - Column A and then fill in the cells in spreadsheet_2 with the values from spreadsheet_1 column A and column C.
I have a worksheet with property numbers in colum A and first names in column B. Another worksheet has property numbers in A, first names in B, and last names in C (different order, all mixed up)
I want to put a formula in the first worksheet that will compare the property numbers and when it finds a match put the last name from the second worksheet into the first. Does that make any sense? I have tried vlookup but i'm obviously doing something wrong. example below....
# first last
123 x
124 y
125 z
another sheet looks similar but has info in the "last" column. the numbers between the two sheets are not in the same order so i need to search by number and put the info from the second sheet into the first.
I have used the merge facility to incoporate all the worksheets into one excel files. As they all have same heading, I have sorted the data, first by their account expiry time (oldest to newest) and then by manager (A-Z)
For example, system report generated on 15/03/2013, 28/03/2013, 03/04/2013, 15/05/2013, 28/05/2013 and so on and these are sheet names too. What I want is one worksheet called report with the same heading as my merged worksheets and return values where Column C in 28/03/2013 is compared to 15/03/2013 and if the employee ID matches than return the whole row of data for the report.
the next query would then be for finding employee ID in 03/04/2013 and comparing it with 28/03/2013 worksheet and returning the matched ID in report worksheet.
This is the layout of the report worksheet.
Display NameEmployee IDAccount StatusE-mailDepartmentManagerComment
15/03/2013 to 28/03/2013
28/03/2013 to 03/04/2013
03/04/2013 to 15/05/2013
15/05/2013 to 28/05/2013
so for the above report worksheet, if employee id matches the two compared worksheet (15/03/2013 to 28/03/2013) return all value (Display name, employee id, account status, email, department, manager, comment) from the 28/03/2013 and so on.
creating a macro that would compare two worksheets and their differences would be copied into a third worksheet in the same workbook? Several key criteria is needed:
1) The third worksheet would need to note only the data from the 1st and 2nd worksheets (including headers) that had differences. An additional column would do the difference calculations for the data whereby numeric values are subtracted (worksheet 2 from worksheet 1 values) and non-numeric values would note "Pass" or "Fail".
2) All data values that had differences would be formatted in yellow shading on the third worksheet.
3) The unique ids from column A in worksheet 1 would have to have be noted in column A of the third worksheet; even if they didn't have a difference from worksheet 2.
4) The third worksheet would need to note all of the columns noted in worksheet 1 and include the difference column for each unique column.
5) Flexibility in code to allow for addition of new columns to analysis.
see attached sample spreadsheet whereby Worksheet 1 = "dv file", Worksheet 2 = "price file" and Worksheet 3 = "Error" for purposes of this discussion.
Im working with a huge amount of data in BOOK1.xls and once or twice a week I received an update of the list.
1. I need to compare and find out from the new updated worksheet if there is a new revision, and if there are new documents added to the list. I have tried Vlookup..but it didnt work for me. Ex. Doc1 has revision 1, 2 in my BOOK1 that I am working on. Note that there is a repetition of the DocName, Doc Number except for the revision.

The closest thing I can find to what I'm trying to accomplish is this link here:
Compare Worksheets
I'm also would like the ability to change the columns I am comparing. The actual sheets may have more that 4 columns.I can somewhat read the formulas but have a hard time under standing them completely.
I have a spreadsheet with two worksheets (sheet 1 and 2). Sheet 1 has all the current employee data on it e.g. employee number, Forename, Surname, Address, Pay rate, etc. Sheet 2 was last month's employee data in the same format. I want to compare the two worksheets on worksheet 3 and highlight any changes or just put the changes on worksheet 3 (this would be better).
The problem is employees might be on different rows on each worksheet and some employees might not be on one spreadsheet due to staff leaving and starting.
Each staff member has a unique employee number to identify them. So I need a formula that matches the employee number and then looks in the cells in sheet 1 and 2 and if different puts the value in sheet 1 into the cell in sheet 3.
I am trying to modify the macro listed below for the following example. It would work when I have only numerals in the cell but this new query, the cell has both letters and numbers.
I want to compare column "M" from worksheet one to column "B" in worksheet two. If the information matches, then copy the value adjacent from worksheet two column "A" to worksheet one column "L".
Here is the macro that worked for me using a search of only numerals.

Basically, i have a workbook that contains 2 worksheets with stock data for two stock holding sites, we're consolidating our stores and need to confirm what stock is held at both sites. I need to compare column C on both sheets to find if an item exists on both sheets, and if so copy the entire row from Sheet 2 onto the next free row on a new sheet. Col C on each sheet contains the stock number, however, on Sheet 1 the stock number is abbreviated ot the final 7 letters, with Sheet 2 showing the FULL stock code.
I need whatever is in "Sheet 1:Col C" (for example '1234567') to be compared to whatever is in "Sheet 2:Col C", and if a match is made (for example 9999-00-1234567) then the row containing the match be copied to the next free row on Sheet 3.
I have a worksheet with five columns (A, B, C, D and E)
The cells in Column B contain letters and/or numbers (without spaces) in no particular order.
The cells in Column C contain letters and/or numbers (without spaces) in no particular order.
I want to compare all characters in 1st Cell of Column B with all characters in 1st Cell of Column C, and display the matching characters in 1st Cell of Column D, and the character count of 1st Cell in Column D must be displayed in 1st Cell of Column E. note that multiple instances of the same character must not be treated as duplicates. When execution on 1st Row is finished then repeat procedure for Row 2, etc... Stop execution when first empty cell in Column B is located.
Example:
B1 = LJLM12
C1 = KY2MLK
B2 = ZCG4GM
C2 = X4GGGC
B3 = KTCBNG
C3 = GNBTBB
The script/code/formula must output the following:
D1 = LM2
E1 = 3
D2 = CG4G
E2 = 4
D3 = TBNG
E3 = 4
I am using Excel 2003. Y
I have Excel 2003 and 2007 on my computer and I want open excel from vb6 but they are both called Excel.exe. So it opens both of them when I run my code. I renamed one of the exe's and I was going to do it that way but then it was going to do a whole bunch of reinstalling.
Can I specify which version of excel I want to run, in vba or vb6 code ?
Maybe by specify the path some how.
If I want to create an Excel file that other users would use, and want to create a specific version number of the file. Is there a place I can save that information outside of the worksheets?
For example, lets say I create a file that is version 1.0. Can I save that somewhere in "Properties" or somewhere else so that "1.0" can't be modified, and if I come out with a different version say 2.0, I can update it?
As per title, I have both Excel 2003 & 2007 installed - I need to set 2003 as the default for opening xls files when double-clicking but can't seem to override 2007 which wants to hog all the action. I've been through the File Types menu and selected the 2003 version of Excel as the default, but it doesn't make the slightest difference.

I have an excel based appliction that I distribute to about 150 people in the US, London, Hong Kong and Singapore. Distribution is currently done by email containing a link to a Sharepoint site (the email has the link, release notes, etc). The end users open the file and save it to their desktops, overwritting the previous version. I'm finding that many users are not updating their versions as they should be.
So what I'm wondering is if there's a way to have this process automated - so that when the user opens the file, it checks a repository (sharepoint or otherwise) for a more current version, then prompts the user to download it.
how I could amend the following code so that my target worksheet includes file versions? The worksheet range "Folder" contains a string specifying the target folder and the worksheet range "IncludeSubFolders" is either TRUE or FALSE.

I need to create a multipage with tabs running down the left hand side. I cannot use the normal horizontal multipage control because this would result in an impossibly wide page. Is there a vertical multipage control? I could not find one? Or a way to convert the multipage control to show vertical tabs?
Please bare in mind that this vertical multipage will be shown in a form that already includes a normal horizontal multipage (I am using multipages within multipages too!).
We have a club membership database in Excel 2003. Unfortunately too many people can change it and we sometime use an old version for a mailout when there is a later version around. We have no easy, foolproof way of establishing which is the latest version.
Is there a way that a cell in the database can automatically have the date & time it was last changed (NOT last time it was read - Windows does that). Also a user name.
Failing that, is it possible to detect when anything has changed & when you try to close the file it requests a date & user which have to be entered before it closes ( this relies on the user putting in valid info but at least it's a start).
Ideally when you re-open the file it should say in A1, A2 - last changed .... by .....
