i want to create a menu in the worksheet named "Main Menu" that lists all the other worksheets within the workbook with the option to select the required worksheet and view or print it.

I have a workbook containing a number of spreadsheets. Some of the spreadsheets are user inputs. The results of the user inputs drive a number of final reports. The final reports (i.e. spreadsheets) are hidden from the user (I don't want the user to be overwhelmed with so many tabs when they open the excel spreadsheet).
I created on the main input tab spreadsheet the following:
1. Check boxes - so that user can select after making his/her inputs the reports that he/she wants to view or print.
Say there are 4 reports (call them Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3, Sheet4 - therefore, 4 check boxes. Through the Format Control, the checkboxes have cell links that yield TRUE (if selected) or FALSE if not selected - linked to cells A1, A2, A3, A4 respectively.
2. Option buttons - one for view and another one for print. Through the Format Control, the View and Print option buttons have cell links to cell A5 yielding 1 for View and 2 for Print.
3. Command button - that will clear the check boxes
Issue
I would like to know if there is a way to code in VBA to:
1. Unhide the spreadsheets corresponding to the check boxes if selected;
2. Print the spreadsheets corresponding to the check boxes if selected for printing; and
3. Clear the checked boxes to unchecked if the Command button is clicked.
I'm struggling with coding to perform the above tasks.
I have a seemingly simple dilemna and wonder if there is a solution... I am not a PRO user, but can get by with my limited knowledge of excel.
My issue:
I create invoices for my business and in the invoice I use the "TODAY()" function to automatically insert the current day when I created the invoice.
Now when I need to go back and look at the old invoice or print it again it shows the CURRENT date, not the original date when it was saved. Is there a way to view and/or print out a file while keeping the original date intact or is there a better way to format a date to avoid this happening in the future.
I have since eliminated the function and just type in the date to avoid this but I have about 100 invoices that are saved that I may need to view their "original" dates on.
I have a worksheet that have a dropdown menu with more than 60 names / project when I select a name / project all my sheet update per the project. My question is how to run a macro to print all records in the drop menu one time instead of doing it sheet by sheet!!!! and I want to print them pdf.
I have placed a workbook on a network drive. This workbook contains sensitive information and I would like to protect it to a "feasible" degree. I have written the following code
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim userid As String, valid_userid As String
Dim i As Integer
valid_userid = "MISI01/"
userid = GetUserName()
userid = UCase(userid) & "/"
i = InStr(1, userid, valid_userid)
If i = 0 Then
MsgBox ("You are not authorised to use this workbook")
ActiveWorkbook.Close False
Exit Sub
End If
'create menu when workbook opens
Call Module1.CreateMenu("")
Call Modul1.check_filedate("")
' This will disable the user from moving, renaming etc the sheets
ActiveWorkbook.Protect Structure:=True, Windows:=False
End Sub
As can be seen from the above code, I check if the current userid is one of those that are valid to open the workbook. If not the idea is to tell them and close the workbook immediately (this bit isn't tested yet). This code is not supposed to be hacker proof, but to prohibit the casual user from reviewing the the data.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working with excel 2003. I get a workbook sent to me via Email that has 12 tabs on it and each tab has to be printed out. The fastest way that I know, to get this done is start with tab 1; hit alt+f, u, alt+f, enter, Ctrl+P, enter, Ctrl+page down ( to move to next tab and do it all over again), each tab is a slightly different width so I am constantly have to use "Fit to Page" but each tab will fit on one page easy.
I was wondering can I use a key stroke macro to print this workbook. I actually get 5 workbooks like this every night, it does not really take that long, maybe I am just being lazy, I was thinking that I might be able to use a key stroke macro and then name it for what ever workbook it works with (workbook 1 print ) but I don't no if this will work or if there is an easier way to get the printing job done.
I can't upload the workbook but I could create a simple say 5 tab workbook that has no data in but has same formatting and upload that if you need to see what I am doing.
I am attempting to create a Menu (food) in Excel 2007. I have a list of foods that I would like to select once one is selected the next list would be for the next item and so on. I know how to create a drop down list but once I select an Item
I would like the next list to narrow down the field (or choices). I am not sure I explained this well enough so here is another way to put it.
First Column would be a choice of meats. Beef, Chicken, Pork, etc.
If you select say Beef the next column would be a veggie, Carrots, Peas, Green beans. But with Beef you cannot select Carrots. and so on.

I have all of my data on sheet2 and my objective is to have a small portion of the data displayed on sheet1 once the user selects the specific "study" from a drop down menu.
how to create a drop down menu that will have a list of all the different studies, and then once the specific study is selected, how do I make it display the pertaining information in the master sheet.
Follow up....more information
The data I’m working with is a master list of different drug studies. All of the data is broken down by the specific study itself, so all I need to do is figure out a way to let the user access the data in a quick and easy way. I figured this could be down with a drop down menu that has a list of each study, and the user could select the study they want to review. Once selected, the data pertaining to the study would then populate the fields on the master silde(sheet1).

I open the file and Form1 is shown with its command button. When I click the command button I get an error:

What is the correct convention?
I have created a list in a Microsoft Excel Workbook (names and corresponding numbers) and named the list.
Then, I created a drop-down menu through Data/Validate/List that included the names.
I can look the names up in the drop-down box, but I would like to be able to type a few letters and Excel auto complete the rest of the name. For instance I would type Ja...and James Doe would come up with the mes Doe in black (highlighted).
Is there a way to do this in Excel?
I have a workbook that creates three temporary menu buttons when I open it. These work fine until I try and open more then 1 workbook at a time. This creates duplicate menu buttons (3 times the number of workbooks that I open).

I have a list of values (say a, b, c, d, e) and creating a drop down menu with these values in say A1. Say I chose 'c'. Now in cell A2 I want to be able to choose from the same list without being able to choose 'c' again. In cell A3 I want to be able to choose from the same list without being able to choose the values lalready chosen in A1 and A2. and so on.

I have a worksheet that changes in length. There is a formula that calculates how many pages the sheet will be. The also is a print button on the sheet that will print a coversheet "Sheets("Title")" and then it is supposed to print the data on the second sheet. Below the code I have so far... I know I am missing something, but knowing very little about macros I just can't seem to figure it out.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find a way to print an "entire workbook", but have each of the sheets paged as a group separate from the rest. One workbook typically has up to 20 sheets, with each sheet up to roughly 8 pages. I need each sheet set to show page 1 of 8 or page 5 of 8, not page 22 of 53. Counting and typing in the total number of pages in each sheet's footer is too cumbersome. Also, printing each sheet individually has also been cumbersome when printing to PDF. Are there any other ways to have the "&[Pages]" function only reflect the number of pages within the sheet instead of in the entire workbook?

Reason is simple as I work in a office where staff is handed in several jobs to do everyday. They finish the jobs and log all the info on the database. I log on to database and put all their daily diaries and because it is all over the place I have to go in each file and set printing preferences which takes an hour in the morning and hour in the evening. I could do with some sort of automation where all diaries are automatically printed in Landscape and Fit on one page.
