Create Macro To Chart Data With Location As Object In Active Sheet
I have been trying to create a macro in excel to chart a selection of data and to output the chart on the active sheet where the data was taken (as opposed to a named sheet). So basically, I have about 300 worksheets with data, and I would like to have a button on each page that automatically charts that data when clicked, and outputs the chart to the page where the macro was clicked. However, I have not been able to figure out a relative reference that will allow me to make the LocationasObject reference simply the ActiveSheet as opposed to a specifically named sheet. See my code below, which references an output to a worksheet called "Charts". Right now, all of my charts are outputting to the sheet called "Charts", as opposed to the active sheet.

Sub ConsDiscChart()
ActiveCell.Offset(29, 11).Range("A1").Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1:B1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Range("A1:C24").Select
Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Charts"
With ActiveChart
.HasTitle = False
.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False
End With

Create Object, Work With Workbook
I'm trying to open a file and perform various tasks. This is the structure:

Dim xlApp As Object
Dim xlWb As Object

Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
Set xlWb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(BackupFile) ' backupfile evaluates to c: esting est.xls
xlWb.Worksheets(1).Activate

Debug.Print xlWb.Worksheets.Count
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In xlWb.Worksheets
Debug.Print ws.Name
ws.Activate
Next ws
I think I'm totally missing something. The above works, except for the loop. None of the names show up in my immediate window, and none of the worksheets are activated. xlWB evaluates to nothing, which is where the problem has to be...but why would my first .Activate and Debug.Print lines work? Also, If I declare xlWb as Workbook then absolutely nothing works after the file is opened.

Basically what I want to do is open the file, do a bunch of a stuff with it, then save and close it. I have this all working without creating another object, but the opening of the file is still visible to the user. Seems like turning off ScreenUpdating doesn't truly work.

Conditional Circle
Is there anyway to create a checkbox or anything that if a condition were met, it would circle a value?

Simply put, I'm transferring an expense report from paper to excel, and this report is still entered by accounting from hard copies. The expense report requires that all credit card expenses be circled. Previously, I've created cell sized circles, left them unprotected so that they could be dragged over the credit card expense. I would like to add a checkbox somewhere that says, "Circle Expenses" or "Circle All Expenses".

Copy Sheet & Create New Monthly Sheet From Present Sheet
I want to create a macro button that can create copy, insert, paste and rename the new sheet in next month's name, like if the active sheet's name is January, I want to copy the whole sheet of January, insert new sheet, paste the new sheet and rename the new sheet to next month like February?

Also rename the new sheet (February) cell B3 the same as new sheet's name (February)

So if month of February is near end, the macro button in February will create the same way as Jan did which means the next sheet will be named March and so on.

Create New Sheet For Each Row Of Another Sheet Auto Populate Data.
i have a sheet called 'sample database'. it consists of 56 columns, each with a specific title in row 1. i.e. name, surname, mobile_number, and so on.
from row 2 onwards the data has been populated for roughly 200 rows.

i have another 'Capture Sheet' which has the same titles as 'Sample database' except it's in a different format. its a printable form that is given to new employees when they start. once they have completed it it gets captured into the 'Sample Database' sheet.

my wifes boss now wants 1 new sheet for each row in the 'sample database' sheet based on the format/layout of the 'capture form'.
how can i get the 'capture form' to auto populate the data from the 'sample database' sheet and create a new sheet for each row?

Macro Pull Data From Each Sheet And Create A Summary Sheet
I need to create a macro that will scan a spreadsheet for the number of sheets and then pull data from the same places on each sheet in order to create a summary sheet. Let me try to explain a little better.

The spreadsheet I'm working with has a separate sheet for each new deal our company makes. Each of these sheets is in the same format - we use a template and fill in the data based on that whenever a new deal emerges. The sheets contain basic info about the deal in the first few rows and columns, then some narratives with dates describing the progress of the deal, and then a list of issues and whether or not they have been resolved. The problem is, each of these sheets contains too much info for a quick, high-level overview with the bosses so they've asked me to create something that will pull the basic info, the most recent narrative, and any unresolved issues from each sheet. This way, each time there's an overview scheduled with the bosses, the macro can be run and it will create a new sheet with data from each sheet in the workbook.

Macro To Manipulate Article Sentences
I'm trying to write a macro that will take 5 articles that I have written and separate the sentences out....

So what I need to happen is I take the articles and pop them into excel, then the macro will pick the first sentence of the first article, then the first sentence of the second article, then the first sentence of the third article....and basically repeat this for all the sentences in all the articles also while adding a "|" in between the sentences and adding a starting "{" and an ending "}" for each of the first sentences, second sentences and so on.....

I don't know that I'm making any sence here so here is a very small example of what I need to happen....

Article 1 Paragraph 1: I like blue. I like Green. I like Purple.
Article 1 Paragraph 2: I like flowers. I like dasies. I like tulips.

Article 2 Paragraph 1: I like football. I like basketball. I like soccer.
Article 2 Paragraph 2: I like food. I like wine. I like beer.

Article 3 Paragraph 1: The sky is blue. The sky is dark. The sky is night.
Article 3 Paragraph 2: I love stars. The moon is big. The moon is full.

So each of articles would need to be placed in separate sheets I'm guessing?

Below is what I need the text to look like when the macro has finished.....

Spun Article Paragraph 1:

{I like blue.|I like football.|The sky is blue.}{I like Green.|I like basketball.|The sky is dark.}{I like Purple.|I like soccer.|The sky is night.}

Spun Article Paragraph 2:

{I like flowers.|I like food.|I love stars.}{I like dasies.|I like wine.|The moon is big.}{I like tulips.|I like beer.|The moon is full.}

I hope this all makes sense.....

I already set this up using the record macro feature of excel and it works ok but I end up having to do a lot of editing because it will put to many brackets in or not enough so I was hoping for some advise or possibly some code example that could get me headed in the right direction....

Manipulate Text File Using VBA

Manipulate Current & Last Values Of A Cell
In Cell B1 I'm trying manipulate (either sum or find the difference for) the current and most recent prior values of Cell A1. The value in Cell A1 changes frecuently because it gets its values from a DDE link.

How do I :

1. Display in Cell B1 the current change in value of Cell A1 ?
2. Display in Cell C1 the sum of changes which have taken place in Cell B1 ?
3. Ideally I'd like to also be able to manually reset the value of Cell C1 to zero at any time.

I think this is a macro, or array, or pivot table thing, and is probably simple, but all of that is well beyond my current skill level.

Manipulate Date Ranges For Monthly And Quarterly Reports

I would need the "Nbr of Projects", "Nbr of Days worked", "Nbr of International Projects" and "Nbr of Local Projects" cells filled in under each respective report, based on the data in the top left.

If a project falls in two months, such as "18.12.2008 to 15.01.2009", this would be treated as 1 project for December and 1 project for January. Also, I would need only "NETWORKDAYS" included in the solution, so 11 days in this example.

Manipulate Chart Data Labels Height, Width....
I m working with bar charts and as I've heard these labels can be a bit of a pain. I've got the labels in roughly the right position 90% of the time however that other 10% has me in rolling fits.

My issues
1. A label within the chart area is wrapped on two lines, how could I restrict Excel from wrappign the label
2. A Labels position covers some of the data reported and thus makes the graph messy

how could I find the position of the end of the bar and also the length of the datalabel so I could reposition it. Note I am using 2003 and that I am trying to use

activeChart.seriesCollection(s).item(i).Datalabel.left

for finding the position although this is only really where im getting to. finding the wrapping position and also being able to manipulate the length of the label is proving tricky.

Manipulate Values & Formatting In Closed Workbook
I have 2 workbooks, one containing all my code and userforms and another containing all my data (which is continuously updated/ dynamic). I want to be able to manipulate the data without ever opening the workbook (at the moment I use the open workbook method, but it is extremely slow). I have found some code (Jwalk) which I think meets my needs (and is instant). I have adapted this so it points to a specific path rather than the active path as below etc. but I need to adapt it further so that:

1. When the data is opened it is formatted exactly the same as it is in the original sheet which includes any coloured cells, bold fonts, cell width, height and so on

2. Any changes I make can be saved back to the original sheet in the closed workbook.

3. The data always opens in a named specific worksheet i.e. "TempSheet" which sits in the workbook containing the code (my code is called from a userform within this workbook).

The code I am using from Jwalk is as follows:

Sub GetDataDemo()

Dim FilePath$, Row&, Column&, Address$

'change constants & FilePath below to suit
'***************************************
Const FileName$ = "Book1.xls"
Const SheetName$ = "Sheet1"
Const NumRows& = 10
Const NumColumns& = 10
FilePath = ActiveWorkbook.Path & ""
'***************************************

I am still learning VBA and can adapt/write small pieces of simple code, I have tried incorporating the paste special method, but in all honesty, don't know what I am doing and it results in lots of errors. Can anyone help me get this working/point me in the right direction? Also, what does 'Const' do? how do I bring in the data without specifying the number of rows, as this will be different every time?

Manipulate Web Page Controls To Retrieve Data
I retrieve data about local reservoirs (elevation, precipitation, gated release, ...) from a web site [url]. Retrieving the reports requires manipulating three drop boxes ("Select lake", "Year", "Data Type"). After that, I copy the data to the clipboard, and, back in Excel, push a button that pastes the text and extracts the data.

I'd like to programmatically manipulate those controls so that data retrieval can be completely automated.

Create Summary Sheet
I have a sheet in my workbook named Summary, from this I would like to run a macro that cycles through every sheet except "Summary" & "Variables" & "Cash" and puts the sheet name in E5:down and cell AH30 from every sheet in F5:down.

I know it's possible, but I'm not sure how to set up the loop.

Use A Button To Create New Sheet?
Is it possible to create a button in or out of a cell and when that is clicked it will generate a new sheet in the same workbook.

Now this is throwing the line to you clever people... Having then created a new sheet can it be that in say A:1 it will display the date the sheet was created AND make a popup box appear to allow the user to enter a name for the new sheet?

VBA To Create New Sheet ...
I would like to be able to have a macro, linked to a button, so that when you press that button it creates a new named sheet based on data in a particular cell.

I.e. There is a table with the following data:
Apples (A1)
Oranges (A2)
Pears (A3)

There are also the sheets Apples, Oranges & Pears.

You enter 'Grape' in cell A4, then when you press the button it creates a new sheet named Grape.

Also when a new sheet is created, the 'input cell', in this case A4, is moved down one so that when the next sheet is needed to be added, it doesn't just add the same sheet (i.e. in the example above, we don't end up with a new sheet named 'Grape' each time we click the button).

Macro To Create New Sheet
I want to create a Macro that will create a new worksheet when the user so desires using a message box.

The workbook contains 4 tabs, for example, named as follows: (1) template (2) 250 (3) 825 and (4) 975. I want the marco to work as follows:

1- Macro will ask user "please type store number"
2- Macro will then make of copy of "template" and create the new sheet
3- if user types in "860", I want to the macro to name the new sheet "860" and place the new worksheet between sheets 825 and 975.

Also - this may be asking too much but is it also possible to also prevent user from entering non-valid numbers? The valid numbers are 001 - 999. ie; if user enters "1500", return message "invalid entry".
