I have below code which successfully create a macro button and assign the macro correctly.
This is only doing for one sheet and i need to modify the code so that it does for all sheets of the workbook.

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

I have a CSV file contain many fields and all fields have value (positive & negative values). I have 3 questions here:
1) This file is created on Friday. So the date in Field1 is Friday's date. I want to change the date to Saturday date. How can i change it using macro?
2) I want to set the value for fields 24 until 26 to 0. I want the script to force the field value to be 0. How can i do that by using macro?..and fyi, my CSV file have header in the first row. Below i illustrate my original csv file and the expected output.
3) How can i automate the macro to run every Friday afternoon?
Original csv
Field1, Field2,....,Field24, Field25, Field26, Field27
"20120803","ABC",...,9.032,24.52,-6.325,21.12
"20120803","ABC",...,5.242,-1.53,7.005,21.12
Expected output csv
Field1, Field2,....,Field24, Field25, Field26, Field27
"20120804","ABC",...,0,0,0,21.12
"20120804","ABC",...,0,0,0,21.12
How can I code to create a copy of a worksheet in an excel file I am using a macro on, after the macro is done processing? In other words, when the macro completes processing, create a copy of the worksheet labelled "Output", and save it in a directory that the user chooses? Also, would it be possible to create a .pdf file?

I'm looking to create a new file from data in my table. I don't want to even imagine having to do this manually again...I'm optimistic there is a solution. All the data needed to create the file is in the table, but i need it stacked and organized in a weird way. It's almost to hard to explain...so I color coded an attachement that basically says it all. It's pretty much the same thing repeated over and over except the last 2 lines. It's just a really messed up organization. In the real version I need the new file in a new workbook. I'm extremely grateful to anyone who can automate this thing
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have recorded a macro which will create the border for me when the file is opened, but it turned out too long. if someone can show me how to reduce the codeing. I have the attached file.
Range A5 to E20 thin Border all sides and thick border allround (16 rows)
Range A21 to E36 thin border all sides and thick border allround (16 rows)
end range is A356.
First need to create a "Text" Folder in your desktop, then try running the macro. It will create a number of text files inside the "Text" folder.. And they contain the used cells from each row. It's supposed to create 982 text files, with the text name referred to the first column. Problem is, if you try running it, it will only create around 53 text file
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to create a macro that automatically saves a backup of the excel document in another desired location?
I have this formula:
Sub backupbutton()
Dim fname
fname = "D:" & Format(Now, "dd mmm yy hh mm") & ".xlsm"
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fname
End Sub
But that just keeps on making multiple copies of the file rather than overwriting the backup in the D: location.
Also, that particular macro requires me to have to click on a button in order for it to work but I would prefer that it happens automatically when the original file is saved.
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
MkDir strDefpath & strDirname
strPathname = strDefpath & strDirname & "" & strFilename.......................
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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI created the following macro by recording the macro and going through the steps manually, however I need to make some changes and can't seem to accomplish what I'm trying to do.
The Macro opens a master inventory file, creates a new line, and then links certain column cells in the inventory to corresponding places within the original form (the macro is executed from the original form once it's completed).
Problem is, the macro is written using the form "template" so whenever I save the template as the name of the unique item, it won't update the macro language as well.
What I'm trying to accomplish is when someone opens the template, the save immediately with a different file name, and once the form is completed and the macro is run, it's creating the new line in the inventory pointing to that specific file.
I thought somehow utilizing ThisWorkbook within the macro instead of explicitly using something like
"='[Control Sheets (JOHN TEST).xls]FUND SET_UP PG_1'!R2C3" would accomplish what I'm trying to do.
I am trying to create a master file, with a macro built in, that will allow multiple users to use it at once. The macro is to open a dilouge(sp sorry) box showing the contents of a specific folder, allow the user to selct one of the sheets, then copy and paste the set details from the hidden tab on this sheet (All sheets will be the same barring title), append the details to the master list in the first empty row.
I've got this far thus
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
'
' Modify this folder path to point to the files you want to use.
FolderPath = "My Folder name here"
' Set the current directory to the the folder path.
ChDrive FolderPath

So I can copy the row, but I can't get the first part to open .
When I enter data in the cells A1 and B1, C1 needs to calculate the result. (not copy and paste)

I want to create a macro that saves my file this way:
in a folder named after B2
and
as a file named after B4n.
I need a VBA code to create a Text file which should be in the form of DML (my scenario is to get Insert Statements for the Data available in the Excel) from Excel Sheet. And this has to be done by assigning a macro to command button where by clicking on it the DML text file should be generated. Even the syntax for the scenario will do.
