I have created a spreadsheet for my friend. As my friend is a little 'scared' of excel I created drop downlists to complete the spreadsheet i have also protected all the cells that have formula in them so that they can not be deleted.
the spreadsheet he opens is prefect, he then updates this spreadsheet and has done something wrong but doesn't realise, he then saves the spreadsheet, it is at this point he wants a back up copy of the perfect spreadsheet, that way if he goes back into the saved copy and realises that something is wrong he can go to the back up copy and start again. This spreadsheet is filled in once a week, that way if he has done something wrong and has to refer to the back up copy he only loses one weeks worth of work.
I did say that he could choose save as instead of just save and re-name the file but again he is worried that he will forget!
Can we create a back up file automatically? If yes, can some please tell me how to?
I have never used macros or anything so if you can do this, can I ask that you also explain to me how to do it.
I have a sheet which I would like to back up online every time it is saved.
I have a sub, OnlineFile(), which I have used many times without any problems, which creates a .BAT file to use ftp to upload files onto our server. As arguments, it takes the local file path that you want to upload (or download to), the name of the file as you would like it stored, the online file path, and whether you want to upload the file onto the server, or download it off the server.
It should be very easy to combine the two: what I tried was:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, cancel As Boolean) ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & "Rubbish.xls" Call OnlineFile(ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & "Rubbish.xls", "Rubbish.xls", "wwwrootexcelfilesMasters", "Upload") Kill ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & "Rubbish.xls" End Sub
Every time I ran this, the file got uploaded correctly, but Excel had a series of problems. Often the code ran fine the first time it was run, but crashed the second time round.
After a fair bit of troubleshooting, I found that the problem came about when the file was trying to save itself - i.e. after the end of the sub. If you pause any macros from running, it still saved fine, but when the code ran, it found errors, froze or closed excel.
My thought at this point was that the code was fragmented or something. I made a new sheet, and retyped just the relevant bits of code (i.e. the BeforeSave sub, the OnlineFile sub and created the form called by OnlineFile). The problem persisted.
I've come up with a workaround for this now (which uses the same OnlineFile sub & form, and works fine), but it's driving me crazy - why does this cause excel to die? Particularly on the second time through? The code seems far too simple to cause such problems - is there a bug in Excel perhaps (I'm using Excel 2000 on Windows XP).
I have a workbook which consists of 28 worksheets, all of which are protected, and are running on a code which automatically keeps all sheets at "unlocked cells" in the selection field. The sheet is also password protected for write-access…
I would like a Macro, or some sort of code, that when activated… it unprotects ALL sheets (which use same password), creates a folder on the users desktop, and saves a copy of the document in there… entitled "copy of {filename}" It must also remove the "write access" password…
I am currently using this code which automatically saves a back up copy to another location on my system.
However, the only way i can get it to work is to assign it to a command button. Is there any way in which this will work once i just click the save button.
How to make sure that every workbook I create has the option of "backing up before saving" turned-on? I need a Excel-wide option, i.e. one that applies to all workbooks created, The known to me facility of turning the option on every time I create a workbook is not satisfactory because often I forget to turn the option on when creating a new book -- and I create many.
I have a sheet with hundreds of rows of data. I created a UserForm to cycle through each row of data. I am not sure how to do the cycling though. The UserForm has ten textboxes. Textbox one contains the value in cell A1 of each row. I know I could use vLookup to populate the remaining textboxes in the userform based on the value of textbox1 - but I wanted to either create a scroll bar or "NEXT" botton that would cycle back and forth retreving row data based on the value in cell A1 of that row.
I have 4 combo boxes with selectable options and several cells for inputting data into. I'm looking to create a reset button that returns combo box values back to the first one in the list and clears all cells at the same time. I've figured out the cell reset as follows;
Save advanced filter settings Remove filter (or simply set to be 'select all' Run other code (I have this piece of course) Put filter back on with same selections chosen as when it was removed
(Need this becuase the code in the middle does not work properly when the data is filtered)
All data is located within one book. I have two sheets with material codes in each sheet which include pricing (existing and current)
Sheet1 (has existing material codes plus existing pricing) Has about 1200 lines Sheet2 (has current material codes plus current pricing), has about 36000 lines
I need to cross check if the material code (taken from sheet1) are still available in sheet2, and if they are, copy the current price back to sheet1. The current price needs to be pasted back into sheet1 (next to the existing price). If the material code doesn't exist (for whatever reason, in sheet2), the program needs to move onto the next line and leave the current price for that material code blank. The program should finish once all the lines in sheet1 are completed. I have attached a sample of what I'm trying to do,
Where each (i.e., A1) represents a location. I have tried to use a coordinate system but this will not work for the back-to-back locations. (Assuming each location is 2 feet wide, For example A1 to C1 is 4 feet apart, not 2 feet (as Euclidean or rectilinear would calculate it as).
Would there be a way to incorporate an if statement for those locations that are back-to-back? As a rectilinear distance calculation would work as long as the locations are not part of the same "block".
Ultimately I am looking to have a matrix which contains all the distances between each location:
I have a list of web address in column A. All of the web address belong to the same site and are different products at the store. I want to be able to some how launch the sites and have Excel copy the text string which follows the word "PRICE:" on the site back into Excel into the corresponding cell of column B.
I am attempting to navigate to a webpage using IE. I have been successful at getting to the appropriate webpage.
However, I would like to open a link within the webpage in the browser in another window(Which is an image). Copy the image then paste it back into excel. I have been successful at opening the webpage using a Userform.
Code: Sub Anthro() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") With ie .Visible = True
[Code] .......
The user input number for example:
If the user inputs the number 25423310 into the txtbox then it navigates to a certain webpage.
On this webpage and all other webpages where different #'s are used are very similar. The number (25423310) is always used to identify an image. However it has more characters. For example the image is always on line 30 of the HTML code. On this example the HTML code lists the image as:
The number used in the txtbox to naviagete to the URL Ex: 25423310) is always within line 30 of code in HTML. Is it possible to run a query or parse this line of code and direct ie to open this image in a new window then copy and paste it based on the criteria of the user input? Ex. 25423310?
Code: Sub PropInfo() Dim appIE As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer Set appIE = New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer Dim varTables, varTable
I need to create a macro that can create a dynamic copy/paste loop. So far what I have is horribly inefficient. Each row in colmn A(minus the header) has a unique number in it. For each unique number, I need to paste it based on the number of column headers in row 1(minus column A). So, if there are 20 column headers, I need to copy cell A2 and paste it 19 times in another sheet. Then, I need to move to the next number in column A and do the same thing. Here's what I have:
[Code] .........
You can see that this is not dynamic. If I add another row to my table and rerun the macro, it will not catch it. I've attached a sample file to show you the big picture of what I'm trying to do. The data that I have is in Sheet1, and I'm trying to get it into the format in Sheet3. Rows/columns will be periodically added to the table in Sheet1, so the macro needs to be dynamic to catch that. The data in Sheet3 will always remain, and the macro will add the updated data below the old data in Sheet3.
I would like to create a routine that automates the save process, specifically I would like for the user to click file/save, and then have the save name match the value in a "job number" cell. So if the user runs the save routine, it will automatically save as cellsvalue.xls. Is this possible? and if so, would it be possible to check the value of the cell and if the cell is blank return a message forcing the user to enter a value in the "job number" cell before they could save?
I'm having a little trouble making this code work correctly. This macro, Once finished, is connected to a (Save) command button. Here is what is suppose to happen, First thing to remember is another sheet (Sheet1) has been populated with various information which is used as a receipt. The information came from sheet2. I need to copy sheet1 just as it is, format included, create a new empty sheet, paste the information into the new sheet, name the new sheet with the values from cells in sheet2, E3, D3, and the date formatted as the month and year only. Then I need to create a folder in the my documents folder named from the values from sheet2, E3, D3, and todays date with the current time. If the folder already exists, then I just need it to change to that folder, and save the newly created worksheet (as named above) into that folder. After the save is executed, I need to delete that new sheet from the current workbook. Then I need to return to sheet2 to the last active cell and run the last few lines of code which collects the value of the cell 1 to the right of the active cell and transfers it to the cell 1 to the left of the active cell.
VB: Public Sub Button11_Click() Dim wShell, fso, strFldr, xdir As String Dim newbal As String
I am looking for some macro code to create an Input box which will prompt the user to enter a specific date (not todays date so NOW function is not appropriate). This will in turn cause the file to be saved in a specific folder with the date becoming the name of the saved file.
Create an individual pie chart for each row of data (roughly 2000 rows in master list). Data to be charted contains 2 cells (Benefit and Salary). Once the chart is created I need to save the chart as an image (assuming it will need to go into Paint or another program?) Once the images are created and saved to a folder I can add the image link (file location) to a merge document data source. This way I will be able pull in the pie chart (now a picture) with a merge field during a mail merge.
I have the following code which saves a certain sheet to a new workbook and then emails it to a range of cells. The directory the file is saved in is from a cell, and changes depending on certain cells in the workbook. I would like to make it so if the folder it is saving to does not exist, it will create it. If this isn't possible with this set up, I would just like it to display an error message if the folder is not present.
VB: Sub Save_Report() Dim wbName As String Sheets("TELELINK & ITINERARY FORM").Copy
In Cell N1 i have 02/02/09 but i have formatted it to look like Feb Invoices 2009. In the strpath below it saves the file to a folder In desktop/"Cell N1" But it tries to save it as c:Documents and SettingsDaveDesktop229 I would like it to save as c:Documents and SettingsDaveDesktopFeb Invoices 2009. Also if the folder does not exist the macro fails. How can change this macro to
1. Change the folder from 020209 to Feb Invoices 2009 2. If folder does not exist then create it.
I have quite a few Excel templates that need to be modified by changing/adding information or sheets to them. Instead of working through the lot manually, it would be good if I could do the same through code. With my little knowledge I can do this for workbooks. Need to typical code snippets or suggestions? e.g. to open a template file, save it with the original name, etc. The usual Dim srcWB as workbook, Set srcWB= ABC.xls and Workbooks(ABC.xls). open do not seem to work with template files (ABC.xlt)
I have been working on the following VBA code, which should copy specific charts from excel into specific places in a word-template.
I Am quite new with VBA, so I googled the code, changed a few things, and it works exactly as it should - except from one thing. When the Word-document is loaded from the template, I would like the document to be "saved as..." Instead of just opening the template. I have tried
I want to create a macro that will create a new folder called "Fungicide Quotes" under my documents and will save the workbook using the cell reference d4:f4 for the file name, which are merged cells. I have tried the following but can't get it to work. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks
Sub Save_wrkbk()
Dim strFilename, strDirname, strPathname, strDefpath As String On Error Resume Next strDirname = "Fungicide Quotes"
strFilename = Range("d4:f4").Value strDefpath = "C:My Documents" If IsEmpty(Filename) Then Exit Sub
I have a workbook with roughly 28 tabs(sheets) and i need to be able to run a macro that will create a new sheet for each tab and name it based on the tab name.
Every month I work on an audit that has data from 35 different distributors. I have code below that puts each distributors audit/sales information on a new tab and each new tab is given the distributors name. This also creates a new workbook for each distributor.
When the new workbooks are created, how can I name each workbook with the distributor name it's being created for? Is it possible to predefine a file path to where these new workbooks will be saved?
The distributor names I'm using are in column AF.
Sub FormatList() 'The code below creates and names a new tab for each members info Dim ws1 As Worksheet Dim wsNew As Worksheet Dim rng As Range Dim r As Integer Dim c As Range Set ws1 = Sheets("Sheet1") Set rng = Range("Database")

'set up Criteria Area Range("U1").Value = Range("R1").Value
For Each c In Range("T2:T" & r) 'adds the member name to the criteria area above ws1.Range("U2").Value = c.Value ...............
I have a workbook (see attach) That has 2 worksheets. (LOAD DATA AND SKIP) What I would like to do is have VBA that automatically filters for each of the names in column A, creates a new workbook naming the workbook as the filtered name (ex D Fowler) and current date and then copy in all info based off filtered data from columns A thru Y Then save and close for each of the names in column A.
