Copy Paste Causes Link Prompt
Oct 4, 2007
I have this long macro that among other things copies data from one sheet to another.
Once I finished it I moved it onto a shared drive and now when it is run I get a popup reading: "Update Values: Book3.xls" asking me to seach for a file. I think it is trying to reference this other book that was in the folder where it was origionaly written, however there is no need for it to, its just processing data within the existing workbook... Ive used Ctrl+F and searched through the formulas to find book3 and it doesn't return anything...
the popup occurs at a line that is: "activesheet.paste"
how to undo this reference to another book? is there some way to supress it from looking outside the selected book?

I would like to copy cells from one worksheet to another, but have the cells that I paste link to the original document. Is there an easy way to do this?
So if I'm pasting from worksheet A into worksheet B, I would like worksheet B to link to worksheet A.

This file pulls totals from external links. The way I have it set up is that every month our log is saved to a naming scheme involving the date, then a fresh log is created for the current month. So, for each month I have "log mm-yyyy".
Now, the chart file is a thirteen month rolling chart (meaning every month it must show the thirteen most recent month's totals). I have created a macro to automatically update the links, based on an input in cell A:1 (meaning you can enter a date in the past and view the thirteen months previous). The problem is that we have only been doing the log for 10 months. So, when the macro runs to update the links, and it gets to months 11 through 13, it pops up a window for the user to manually browse for the missing(non-existent) files. There are quite a few cells that contain links to various information on these logs. I get a prompt for each cell and have to click "cancel". Once I have clicked cancel through all of the broken links, then everything works great.
My question (after all that) is, is there a way to suppress the prompt for the user to search for the missing file? Like I said, this chart is for management, and they shouldn't have to click cancel a dozen times just o look at a chart. If the file doesn't exist, then just break the link.
Obviously once the next three months are over, this problem will disappear, but in the mean time I need a solution.

I want to be able to get a value from a specific cell in another workbook, the problem i have is that i want to be able to select what file the active workbook looks for from the start page of my current workbook. For example when i load the workbook i get my startup page ( sheet 1) where i will be able to select what external workbook the active workbook will be linking with, i will then link the active workbook to the value in a specific cell from the selected external workbook.
I know to link to another workbook i would use ='[filename]sheet!cell
However i want to be able pull up a 'open file dialog box' which i select a file name which will be used as 'filename' in the formula above.

Despite setting the "Edit/Links/Startup Prompt/Don't display the alert and update links" option numerous times, my workbook still prompts me to update links every time I open it. The option seems to be set okay (it is preset whenever I go into the "Edit/Links/Startup Prompt" dialog), but it doesn't seem to affect the workbook's startup behaviour. The workbook contains a ComboBox control that is initialized with customer names from another workbook, which is included in the References for this main workbook.
I am using Excel 2003 (from Office Pro 2003) under Windows XP (SP1). I believe this used to work without the prompt when I was working on this app last fall (I'm not sure, as my memory of specific behaviours back that far is fuzzy). However, it has been persistently prompting ever since I started working on this app again this spring/summer. Was there perhaps a bad fix to Office 2003 (that I automatically applied) that broke this feature?

I have created a spreadsheet some time ago and have been asked to improve on it but I'm rusty with VBA.
I have an automated ordering system that saves each sent order as the date e.g "05-04-2013.xls" but the management team want a graph with the data for the last 4 weeks compared. I have created a seperate workbook called "consumables report.xls" which has a column with the products listed followed by columns "Quantity" and "cost" which is repeated for the 4 weeks of the month.
I want to add a button to prompt the user to choose the saved order e.g "05-04-2013.xls" (all orders saved in same directory) to copy and paste the quantity and cost columns (c8,D69) into "consumables report.xls". I got this to work earlier but it would only paste the formulas and not the values. So I need
A prompt to open workbook
Copy range (c8,d69)
Close work sheet
Paste special .value (c8,D69)
I dont care if it has to open the workbook to copy the data as this will only be used once a month so it dosnt matter how slow the code is.
week 1 week 2 week 3 week 4
Product
quantity
cost
quantity
cost
cost
quantity
cost
1
2

On Sheet1, I do have info from A1 - A10.
I copy it, and paste link it on sheet2.
If I add new info in Sheet1 next time (I use a program which populate info auto on sheet1), but this time the info is from A1 - A15.
How do I make sure that ALL the info on sheet1 are selected, and not only up to A10.
It can happen that the next time info is on A1 - A100.
Surely I do not want to select "empty" cells?

I have a "cost.csv" file that contains the cost of the toys. The cost is show in $ with two decimal places i.e. $0.75
I created a new MS Excel 2010 workbook file named as "customers.xlsx" that has four columns i.e. Item, Cost, Order, [Total Amount] columns. I used the paste link command and the Cost column data is linked with the cost column in "cost.csv" file.
When I write order quantity in the order column and then try to use the following expression in [Total Amount] column i.e. "Cost * Order" then I received error due to following reason i.e. "Cost is a text value and Order is a numeric value and excel is unable to evaluate the expression." I have done it by first remove the $ sign from cost using RIGHT and LEN FUNCTIONS.
Now I want to change the format of "Cost" column i.e. I want to show the cost in Euro but not in $. Here I am stuck as I am trying to change the format of the Cost linked cell but unable to change it either I applied the new format, the text remains shown $0.75?
Is this the problem as data is coming from .csv file? If it is then how I can accomplish the task?

I have a worksheet that contains data in sheet1 Cells B2:B14. I need to copy this data into the Summary worksheet B2:N2 and to link it so that it updates on the summary Sheet.
When using Paste Special Transpose, it does not allow one to Paste Link. Is there another way to do this besides using a linking formula?

I have a workbook with 3 worksheets (year 2005 data, year 2006 data, and a total data sheet). I used PASTE LINK to display the data from year 2005 and year 2006 on the total data worksheet. The problem I am having is that any blank cells in year 2005 or year 2006 are being displayed as 0 on the total data worksheet. Is there a way to have blank linked cells displayed as blanks? I am working with Excel 2003.

Is there a simple way to combine Paste Link and the Paste Transpose function? I receive a lot of data in rows that I need to put in columns for display purposes. Using transpose is great for doing that but I would like to link it using paste link so I don't have to keep doing each time the data changes. I have recorded macros to see what is happening when I perform the operations seperately as shown below but have been unable to combine them.
Range("A44").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=True
' need to combine with this
Range("A44").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste Link:=True

Average formula that will give an accurate answer. My issue is that I need an average of what has been entered rather than for the entire selection. I have paste link transposed the data as it needs to run on Excel 2003 which can only hold 30 items in the Average(number1, number 2 ... etc) and I need 52. My problem occurs when the data is paste linked all blank cells appear as a Zero therefore increasing the count of the average and providing a wrong answer.
Eg when (1, 2, 0, 3) Average = 1.5 is entered the formula works out (1, 2, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, etc) Average = 0.12 because it divides by 52 instead of 4. As you can see I can't ignore zeros as they are a possible input. What would be perfect is for the paste link to paste the blank cells instead of the providing a zero then the plan =Average(B3:B55) would be fine.
(Note: the new entered data is on the same row but different columns hence the reason for the paste link transpose to get all the data in one column)

I would like to implement specific cell ranges from two specific worksheets each within 33 workbooks (which all have several tabs) into a summary page in a separate workbook.
The cell ranges are going across my spreadsheet in rows and I would like for them to transpose into a columns depending on the data which I have separated by catergory on the summary page. They are all on the same location in each workbook which is separated by country. The cell ranges are E26:P37 and I would like to transpose them and have them put below eachother without overwriting for my format on the summary page, how I can put this together in a macro?

I have one workbook that needs two macros.
On the "Complete Backlog" tab of my workbook, I want users to enter in the requested information based on the column header. Then I would like a Macro attached to a button that says "Refresh" that the user would click after they have entered in all of the information. This macro should look in Column M (WIP Status) and if any of the cells say "Close", it should Cut the entire row from the spreadsheet(Ex. A2:M2) and Paste it into the speadsheet titled "Closed Jobs".
This is so that as jobs are closed/finished, they are removed and stored on a separate sheet. The items would have to be pasted so that it pastes into the next available row - not just on top of each other.
I also need another macro that i can put into a button that doesn't "delete" a row from the sheet, but just copies over to another sheet - so that there are two instances in the workbook.
If would look something like: If a cell in "Column G / Director" of the "Complete Backlog" speadsheet is equal to "Snodgress" then copy columns A-L of the same row to the spreadsheet titled "Snodgress" - of course skipping down the rows to the next blank row.
.....is equal to "Herr" copy row to "Herr" spreadsheet.
....is equal to "McCormick" copy row to "McCormick" spreadsheet.
and so on.

This is what I have now. YTD_annual_interest earned_3.xlsm
When you click the "update Workbook" button, it creates new tabs using the names in Column A5 through A29. If you look at the tabs named John Jones and Phil Williams, you see what I want to happen once the tabs are named. If you look at Mary Smythe, and the rest of the sheets, this is what actually happens.
My question is two fold.
1. Can the sane button be used to grab and copy the data in the corresponding rows as the named tabs? If no, how can that be done?
2. I want to populate the new sheets with the data as in the John Jones, and Phil Williams sheets automatically.

How to pull a website link from the html code in "view source" of a webpage into my excel spreadsheet cell?
For instance, on this webpage (BBC News - Home), I would like to pull the news title and hyperlink of the news title into my excel, I am able to pull the title into my cells using "sht.Range("A"& RowCount)= ele.innertext". But is there an equivalent method to copy the weblink? I highlighted the part where i am stuck in red (below).
I am currently watching a youtube video explaining how to pull data from webpages into excel via VBA, and my code basically looks like this:
Sub test()
Dim eRow As Long
Dim ele As Object
Set sht = Sheets("Sheet1")
RowCount =1
sht.Range("A"& RowCount)="Title"
sht.Range("B"& RowCount)="Web link"

How would you prevent the copy/paste of cells that have comments?
Also, how would you allow cells with comments to be copied and pasted without pasting the comments?
I also have an aside question about the forum advanced search. When searching for multiple search words, how would you type the search to include all words, for example, "prevent" & "paste" & "comments".
