Create Macro That Won't Allow Movement With Workbook Until Macro Run
Jan 28, 2014
Writing a Marco. I would like to place a macro on the opening page of a workbook and like to a button that executes three functions.
1) I need to hide selected tabs in a workbook
2) I need to copy paste values of a couple select cells in a workbook
3) Lastly, I would like to set up the workbook so that the use can not move beyond the opening tab with out clicking the macro to preform the steps above.
Is this possible? I know 1 and 2 are for sure, what about 3?

I have a spreadsheet which has all the names of trips from a warehouse, the day that they operate (1,2,3 etc) and the job line allocated to each trip. It looks something like that:
A B C
DAYTRIPCUST
I would like to create a macro that will be creating 7 new workbooks and then in those workbooks as many sheets as the trips. In these sheets, the customers should be displayed.
How do I write it? I could not find how to have a "dynamic choice" in the macro. I.e. not to have the criteria as "1", "trips1" but to choose from the range of inputs that are available.

So essentially I need a VBA Macro code for Excel 2003 that can take raw data that is input every month via a text document and move it to the next sheet in the workbook. This data is essentially broken down by a "platform" in the raw data section ("P") with monthly totals for each month but it is broken down by platform in total which goes in descending monthly order on the "dat" tabs (which is the final place for the data).
So what needs to happen is the data for the last two years must go from the "P" tab to the "PDat" tab under the correct platform and the correct spot for the newest month. The data that is input each month is in the same format month to month, just starting two rows down from the last month.
At the end of two years, the oldest year of data must be deleted and the other data moved up to the vacant area so that the sheet never grows too large (i.e., at the end of this year 2012 will be deleted and all the data will need to get moved up).
Attached is a sample data workbook.

Is it possible to create a new workbook, add a macro to it, set it to run as an auto open event and then save and close the new workbook?
To explain a little better, I have a macro in a workbook. This workbook is opened by Filemaker which triggers the macro to run. The macro creates a number of different workbooks using information from an online file dump which is then imported into Filemaker.
However when the import is finished, I'd love for all the files that have been created to get deleted again. Now I realise I could just create a second workbook that Filemaker opens once the import is finished that deletes all the files. However I want to keep things as simple as possible for the user, and for them to have as few files as possible so things are less likely to get misplaced in the future. My concern is as they never see the workbook macro firing, they won't realise how important it is, even if I make it very clear.
So what I was thinking is at the end of the first macro, it creates another workbook, with an auto open event macro in it that simply calls a macro from the original workbook, and once created it is saved and closed. When Filemaker is finished with it's import, it could then open the new workbook which calls the macro in the original workbook. I could then have the original workbook macro delete all the added files, and close and delete the other macro enabled workbook it created. Which would leave me with the original workbook only.

I would like to create a macro (with button) that can be used in any workbook. I tried creating a macro in a blank workbook and added a macro button to the Quick Access toolbar. It shows up in any workbook I have open BUT when I run the macro, it also opens up the blank workbook.

I've created what I thought was going to be a simple macro which will create a new workbook, rename it "Applications Calls", then copy a pivot table/report from another workbook and paste it. Here's my rather amateur code which doesn't work.
Sub copyreport()
Workbooks.Add
ActiveWorkbook.Name = "Top Ten Apps Calls.xls"
Windows("Applications Calls Logged North.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("Calls Logged by Customer").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("Top Ten Apps Calls").Activate
Cells.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("A16").Select
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable5").PivotSelect "Silo", xlButton, True
ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False
ActiveWorkbook.ShowPivotTableFieldList = False
Range("A16").Select
End Sub

I'm tryign to create a macro which will copy certain worksheets into a new workbook (i.e. Book1), and the macro continues to work with this Book1. Is it possible to create a more robust macro which will rename Book1 into something usable (i.e. "Report")? because if the session of Excel has already had another worksheet, it will go to Book2, and then the macro won't work.

Im trying to create a document that creates a new workbook when certain functions are selected and have written a macro to assist with this. Basically im working on a comprehensive checklist with all possible scenarios that will need to be tailored for use, so you can create a document with just what is applicable to you and not the whole checklist. I have attached a sample of what i mean, along with clearer descriptors of what the document is designed to do.

I am trying to create a simple macro to open a second workbook if the value in a cell in the current workbook is 'x' or if 'y' do nothing.
Basically I have a simple sales ledger, one column has a yes/no for whether or not an invoice is paid if no I want to open a second workbook 'debtors' so that I can manually input the details. I'm sure this is a very simple proceedure but I can't seem to crack it.

I am currently creating a database which involves using a macro to create new worksheets in the workbook. When the macro is run and a work sheet is being inserted, an input box asks the user for a worksheet name.
As you can imagine, the worksheet does not like it when the worksheet name input by the user, is the same as one already existing and so throws up a 1004 error.
In order to resolve this error I have included an error handling code to request the user to input a differnet worksheet name, as the one previously inserted exists.
My problem: It all works fine until the user types in an existing worksheet name twice, so once initially and again when the error handler has prompted a second attempt. On the second incorrect input a 1004 error warning is displayed.
I would like the error handler to keep repeating until a worksheet name that doesn't exist is inserted by the user. Is this possible?
My code so far:
Sub NewTrancheSheet()
'
Sheets("Tranche Sheet Template").Visible = True
Sheets("Tranche Sheet Template").Select
Sheets("Tranche Sheet Template").Copy Before:=Sheets(1)
Sheets("Tranche Sheet Template (2)").Select
Sheets("Tranche Sheet Template (2)").Move After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Sheets("Tranche Sheet Template (2)").Select.................

Read “My Documents” Path And Use Result
Problem:
Note:
Typical user OS will be Windows XP Pro / Win 2K
Excel version : 97 / 2002 / 2003
1. Corporate network security settings will only allow directory/subdirectory creation in the “My Documents” section of customers individual computers.
2. Per customer request, VBA application needs to save extracted files for future use.
3. I can specify an initial “My Documents” subdirectory be made and the VBA application file be loaded/copied into that location – i.e. – “My DocumentsCat”.
4. When VBA application is opened from that specified directory, (first time), the application needs to make an additional subdirectory tree to save future files. I can read the opened from location via VBA with the following:
Dim filepath As String
filepath = ThisWorkbook.Path
As an example – this code would produce a string definition of “filepath” – such as the following:............................

"How to create a 'main' macro to control other macros within a workbook". I have my individual macros created. There's one macro for each sheet that searches online data and returns the information. I have one of these per sheet (a total of 20 sheets) since I couldn't find a way to have all 20 macros be on one sheet and still work. My trouble is that whenever I'm on my 'main' sheet and try to run the macro which applies to a 'secondary' sheet, I get an error. I have to select the sheet first, then run the macro and it works. Below is the macro on each sheet.
VB:

VBA Macro to work through a worksheet that consist of static data (tab 4) cost centres and to populate a new work book per cost centre consisting of three tabs for every cost centre found in the static data.
The master Workbook has the following tabs:
Tab 1 is called travel and consist of column a which is the cost centre number (plus 14 other columns)
Tab 2 is called Mobile and consist of column a which is the cost centre number (plus 14 other columns)
Tab 3 is called Expenses. and consist of column a which is the cost centre number (plus 14 other columns)
Tab 4 Static Date column 1 cost centre number and consist of column 1 which is the cost centre number (plus 14 other columns).
If no information found on a specific cost centre, the tab will include the headers and return the words "No transactions for this period"
Whilst splitting data into Tabs the workbooks should check against the Static Data table and include cost center description in Column B of each tab in the new workbook.
If master workbook consist of the following....
Tab 1 is called travel and consist of column 1 which is the cost centre number (plus 14 other columns), cost centres, 555,557,
Tab 2 is called Mobile column 1 cost centre number and consist of column 1 which is the cost centre number (plus 14 other columns) cost centres, 555, 78689,
Tab 3 is called Expenses. column 1 cost centre number and consist of column 1 which is the cost centre number (plus 14 other columns), cost centres, 555,
tab 4 Static Date - column 1 cost centre number and consist of column 1 which is the cost centre number (plus 14 other columns). cost centres, 555, 557,78689
It should output 3 workbooks by cost centre number.
One for 555, which consists of 3 tabs, travel, mobile and expenses.
A second for 557 which has 3 tabs travel, mobile and expenses, but only with data in the travel tab.
A third for 78689 which has 3 tabs travel, mobile and expenses, but only with data for mobile data.
The workbooks will be replicates of the contents within the tabs where column a wil be the cost centre plus 14 additional columns.

I have a question concerning Macros and the Disable/Enable prompt. My boss has a spreadsheet which has been used for years and he recently wanted to and did remove the macros from the spreadsheet (they were no longer necessary), but the disable/enable prompt still appears when the spreadsheet is opened. I replicated this in a test spreadsheet with a simple insert line macro and received the same results. Is there a way to remove the macros and the disable/enable prompt once they are removed? I know about setting the security to low to not see the prompt, but I would think that once the macros are deleted, the prompt should not appear any more.

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've created Keyboard Shortcuts to run Macros in "Workbook A". Problem is, if I have "Workbook B" open in the same Excel instance/process as "Workbook A" the Keyboard Shortcuts will run the Macros in "Workbook A".
Is there a way to restrict the Keyboard Shortcuts to only run the Macro if Workbook A is active?
Or is there a way to code the Macro to run its procedures only if Workbook A is active?

I created folder on my desktop to hold various documents. I have master excel document which contains forms and command buttons that open documents from same folder. Is there a way to change code instead of having full file path to specify current directory. I'm worried that if I move this folder to another location then my open file button will not work since location is changed.
Also when I open with command button word document, I have a button on word document to close. I can close document but word application is still active. Can I close word application with the document at the sam time. This is the code I'm using: "ActiveWindow.Close"
