Create Macro Code With VBA Code
Feb 22, 2008
I'm trying to add buttons to an excel spreadsheet at runtime. Each row in the spreadsheet should have its own buttons. I was able to create and edit them with the ActiveSheet. OLEObjects.Add() function, but after that, when i was trying to create code dynamically to react on the buttons' click events excel crashes (actually it works for one button, but not if my routine for adding a new button and event code is called more than once in a row!)
The code below works if the AddCmdbuttonWithCode() is called once, but crashes if it is called two or more times. Excel tries to restore the document after the crash and the first button and its corresponding click event code is visible and works... but NOT the second button and its event code...
The only way I can create multiple buttons right now is by calling my method once per click, opening the vba editor, changing the parameters for my AddCmdbuttonWithCode() routine and execute it again. After that I have mutliple buttons in different lines which all work fine (so the concept seems to work).
The problem seems to be the insertLine method, since everything seems to work if i leave it out (except for the code generation of course, since this is done by this part of the code :-) ). Is it possible that calling the insertLine Method can't be called multiple times? I don't know... any ideas? Feel free to test my code - it's small, easy to understand and has comments.
'this code calls the method which creates the buttons in specific cells with specific names
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
'the first call always works!
AddCmdbuttonWithCode "Edit_111_111_114", 23
'the second one crashes excel
AddCmdbuttonWithCode "Edit_111_111_115", 27
End Sub

I have a macro code that will create line graph referring the data given in defined column A1-C4,
Code with Static column range:-
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Range("'Sheet2'!$A$1:$C$4")
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineStacked
I tried to modify the above code, so it will refer undefined/dynamic data column, but getting an error during execution "Run Time Error - 424:" "Object required"
Code with Dynamic column range:-
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=ActiveSheet.Range("a1", _
ActiveSheet.Range("a1").End(xlDown).End(xlToRight)).Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineStacked

I need to create 63 charts from data which I have in two columns. I want to create multiple charts using one macro. For the first chart I want it to use cells K2:K80 as the x values, and M2:M80 as the y values. For the next chart I want it to use cells K81:K159 as the x values and M81:159 as the y values. For the next chart I want it to use cells K160:K238 as the x values and M160:M238 as the y values. I want to continue this, creating a chart for every 78 cells of data, all the way until the 63rd chart which uses K4900:K4978 as the x values and M4900:M4978 as the y values. I have created the following macro by " recording." This macro generates the first chart that I want:
Sub Macro5()
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatterSmoothNoMarkers
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "=Sheet1!$K$2:$K$80"
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "=Sheet1!$M$2:$M$80"
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatterSmoothNoMarkers
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-3
End Sub
How can I alter this macro to create all 63 charts?. It seems like there is an easy way to do this, but I don't use macros very much (at all).

I'd like to write a macro to create buttons with the caption "Fix" in over 300 cells. Furthermore, I would like each button, when pressed to run a macro that would copy and paste the values (paste special) of the entire row in which the button is situated as well as copy and "paste special" the values in the fixed cells $J$2, $K$2,$L$2, and $M$2. I've attached a file to clarify what I'm sure is an extremely convaluted statement of my problem.

I have a macro that, when run, needs to read the contents of cell B5, and run the code that it contains.
Cell B5, for example, would contain the text:
Range("B13").Formula = "SUM(D12:D14)"
I need a macro to "execute this code", as if it were in the macro itself.
I have assigned the above to a variable, but am not sure how to execute it.
EG.
Dim the_calc
the_calc = Range("B5").value
Now, how do I run the_calc ?

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 a vba module that reads a value from a txt file and saves that value in a variable called "iniInfo". I want to permanently assign that value programatically by using VBA code to create a Public variable e.g. "PUBLIC CONST conFIg = iniInfo" in my modGlobalVar Module. (Of course, this would only create the code if the "conFig" variable doesn't already exist.)

Create a search engine in vba for a worksheet, a macro to be assigned to a button. The 'search engine' to that 'Find button' that I have in mind is on these parameters:
- search any result, complete or partial, non-case sensitive;
- the text to search is typed in B2;
- after the text to search is typed, it only works by pressing that 'Find button';
- it only searches column D in the current worksheet;
- tells the total number of matches found in C2;
- when that Find button is clicked, it goes automatically to the first result found and stops;
- if that Find button is clicked again then it goes to the next found match and stops, and so on;
- when it reaches the end of the document, it just restarts to search from the beginning;
- if there are no matches, it just makes a sound and does nothing; and types zero (0) in C2.

Using a formula,
How can i get excel to create a custom unique number using the first three (or two) characters from another field and then adding four unique numbers to the characters.
basically heres the info
Field H2 contains the characters "ACS" so i would want another field to create a unique code to include something like "ACS1234" and to continue to the next row would be the first three characters of field H3 then 1235.

I have to do monthly comparisons of two excel worksheets, one being a vessel timesheet and the other being an excel download from manpower software that we use. The comparison that is being made are days of the month, whilst the unique identifier between the two sheets (To make it easier to understand I will call them sheet1 and sheet2) is an employee ID. Both sheets, alongside the name and employee ID, list all the days of the month that employees have worked. If they have worked, there is a "1" under that day, if they have not the cell is blank.
What I currently do manually is:
1: Search for the employee ID (and/or name) in sheet1 and compare the days with the employee ID in sheet2.
2: Highlight the differences
3: Move onto the next employee ID
All differences are highlighted in sheet2. Differences highlighted are in the days only, where if any days are missing/extra in either sheet, then the particular cell(s) are highlighted in yellow. If an employee is missing from sheet1 but is in sheet2, then all the days are highlighted (in sheet2). If an employee is missing from sheet2 but is in sheet1, then that particular employee is copied to the bottom of sheet2 (after last row).
As this is horribly complicated to explain, I can attach an example if this is sounding rather inexplicable? Is it possible to attach a xls to a thread?

I don't know VBA code but i am familiar enough to know that a code can be written to separate out information into different tabs on a worksheet.
For example, I have a standard worksheet with say 20 columns going across and 20,000 rows going down. At each "name" change in row 1, I would like a macro to copy into a new tab. Basically the end result will have a tab for each name and the corresponding columns that go with the name.

I have the following formula copied down from A3 to A200 in a spreadsheet, which creates a unique standardized customer number for the each names listed in B3 to B200:
=IF(B3="","","S"&LEFT(B3,1)&"-"&TEXT(SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT($B$3:B3,1)=LEFT(B3,1)))*10,"0000"))
Therefore, with the following names listed in B3 to B10:
UPS
FedEx
Fisher Price
Bell Canada
Grand & Toy
Rogers Cable
Dominion
Blue Jays
The respective customer numbers would be:
SU-0010
SF-0010
SF-0020
SB-0010
SG-0010
SR-0010
SD-0010
SB-0020
I would like these numbers to be static, so I would appreciate it very much if someone can give me a VBA code to replace the formula.

I have a macro that creates a spreadsheet on a weekly basis and have been using it for quite sometime. Due to the large number of spreadsheets I would like to incorporate some code that would create a folder every month. I would assume that the code would need to include a check routine to see if a folder for that month exsists.

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)
