Creating Multiple Workbooks From Template With Different Headers?
Apr 4, 2014
I need to create multiple workbooks from a template, but the header on the sheets need to change based on a list of numbers. I know you can generate multiple sheets from a template within the same workbook. Can you export all the sheets once they are generated to separate workbooks/files? Also I need to change the text in lets say cell A1 on every sheet based on a list from the main sheet. So the main sheet has a list in column A: 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. Once the sheets are generated from the template cell A1 on each generated sheet needs to have a different number from the list i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. It would be nice if i can set the format of cell A1 on the generated sheets so when then number is inserted it large text and bold.
I am trying to create a workbook in which each person gets a seperate sheet.There are common cells in each sheet like name addrss,phone number, etc (about 10 such cells) and there are other cells which will be unique to each person like hyperlinks to letters I have sent to that particular person.
The tab will be named using that person's surname. (I use "find" on the surname and i can locate the particular worksheet).I can add the unique ones as and when needed in each particular sheet, but what i would like to do is to create the first sheet containing all the necessary common cells with a blank cell next to it and then (maybe run a macro?) to create multiple sheets all containing the same info so that with each sheet I only have to fill in the blanks (name,address,age,etc) .
At the moment I am using "copy sheet" each time using an unfilled template sheet and it is a pain.
The easiest way I can describe the scenario I am trying to create, is to use a company list of personnel (my index) and to generate a time-sheet workbook per person based on a pre-populated template. This time-sheet is saved as the persons name and has the persons name entered into cell D:10
I have a workbook which contains two worksheets;
1) An Index sheet which contains a list of names that I wish to use in Q16 downwards (note the length of this list will vary each time I run this)
2) A "template" sheet which I wish to duplicate in new workbooks
3) A second "data" sheet that I wish to copy across in new workbooks
I need a macro that will take the "template" and "data" sheets and copy it into a new workbook, renaming each new workbook to each name in my Index sheet. I also want that same Name to be copied into cell reference D:10 of the "template" each time.
The end result is that I should have a series of new files generated and saved which are named the same as the Index list, with both the "Template" sheet and the "Data" sheet present, with the cell D:10 pre-populated with the Name provided in the "Template" sheet.
I have a file with a roughly 20 workbooks. I need to split the data in each workbook into two sheets, rename each sheet, then export the data to template with multiple sheets. After splitting the data into the appropriate sheets in the original workbook, Sheet1 in has only 1 row (plus header) and needs to be transferred to "Project Entry" in the template; Sheet2 can have any number of rows (less than 100) and needs to be transferred to "Activity Entry" in the template. I need to save the template based on the value of cell A1 on "Project Entry" sheet of the template. The organization of the columns in the original workbooks is different than that of the template, so this is not a straight copy and paste operation. The cell formatting in the template must be retained.
I have half of this under wraps. I've cobbled together some code that splits the original data where I need it split, copies it to new sheets and saves the files. I now need to figure out out to get it out of this saved file and into the template.
The crosswalk of values between the original data (Sheet1) and the template(Project Entry) needs to look like the below. So, variable 1 exists in column B of the original and needs to populate column B of the template, and column Q in the original needs to populate column G in the template. The variables and column relationships are different for Sheet2/Activity Entry.
I have just started out learning vb and am having some trouble with a particular request. The following code is code I found to split a worksheet into different sheets based on a variable in the data (Col G). It has now been requested that instead of new worksheets, they want the data in new work books, automatically named and saved as today's date.
Sub UpDate_Sheets() Dim ws As Worksheet, source As Range, dest As Range Dim daily As Worksheet Set daily = Worksheets("Sheet1") Application. ScreenUpdating = False On Error Resume Next For Each ws In Worksheets If ws.Name <> daily.Name Then daily.Range("G1"). AutoFilter Field:=7, Criteria1:=ws.Name Set source = daily.Range("G1"). CurrentRegion.Offset(1, 0).SpecialCells(xlVisible) Set dest = Worksheets(ws.Name).Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) source.Copy dest End If Next daily.Range("G1").AutoFilter On Error Goto 0 End Sub
For work I have to create copies of the same workbook for every day of the month. I have got the following to do it properly, which may not be the best way so I am open to suggestions, but I don't want it to save this macro in every workbook. There are however other macros that I do want it to take with it, just not this one.
Sub SaveByDate() Dim a As Integer, b As Integer, c As Integer
' number of days in month + 1 (this is just a test; for Jan a = 32) a = 6
' start date b = 1
c = 0 For c = 1 To a If c < a Then
MyMonth = "Jan" MyDay = b MyFileName = MyMonth & " " & MyDay & " 2008 daily report" ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=MyFileName b = c + 1 End If Next c End Sub
I need a little help creating the macro for a template file which is going to be used for data input and further analysis. I have a set of arrays, which can be altered. The arrays may look like so:
For Each c In Sheets("Worksheet Names").Range("A1:A24") If c.Value "" Then Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy Sheets.Add after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count) ActiveSheet.Name = c.Value End If
Next c End Sub
Strange.... I have a list of worksheet names in Sheets("Worksheet Names").Range("A1:A24").
I need to create a new worksheet for each listing and use sheet1 as the template for all...
The above code creates 22 blank WORKBOOKS, not worksheets.
I need taking thousands of line items of raw data and creating a model that can present the totals in an easy to read format. I've attached a sample of what my data dump looks like....though the actual dump is thousands of line items.
I am creating an excel worksheet. Every time a user opens the worksheet (from a template), I want to get the next numeric sequence number as a reference, showing it in the sheet. The template is available to multiple users but the sequence number should be unique, ie if user Tom has sequence 1, Jerry will get 2, then Anne will get 3 and Tom's next one will be 4. I considered an ASCII text file with a number in, eg 1. Upon opening get OPEN text file, READ text file, Convert to numeric.. add 1.. use this. Convert to string.. WRITE text file. It seems clumsy and since I can only open with READ or WRITE (append no good, since I want only 1 value held), the READ allows multiple users to access simulataneously, and potentially get the same sequence.
Is it possinle to: LOCK file OPEN file for read READ file CLOSE file OPEN file for write WRITE file CLOSE file UNCLOCK file
There are likely to be several users accessing the template and the chance of them opening it at the same time is limited, but possible.
I have a workbook that has a sheet called CustInvData, this sheet contains 4,421 rows of invoice transaction data for 178 customers starting on row 2 (headers on row 1). I need to split the transaction data for each customer out into a workbook template based on the customer name in column A. I need each workbook named by the customer name along with a month and year (example: Bellsouth-0911.xls), this should create 178 unique workbooks. And since we sometimes have to go back and rerun invoices for previous months, I'll need to control the month and year manually in the code.
The parsed data needs to be copied to a pre-formatted invoice template. This template has 2 sheets, Sheet1 is called 'Product Summary', this is a table that uses VLOOKUP functions to read the data in Sheet2 called 'Product Details', this is the sheet the parsed data needs to be copied to for each customer invoice. The 'Product Details' sheet has formatted rows 1 thru 11, row 11 being the header row for the data from CustInvData to be copied. So the parsed data needs to start at row 12.
Last, once the data has been copied into the 'Product Details' sheet, I need the data to be SubTotaled at each change in column J (Product) and use the 'Sum' function to add a Subtotal in column L (Retail Price) for each unique product category.
Example data below, I've simplified it (the actual data array spans from columns A to Y)
I have attached an extract from a Conveyor drum design document.
Cell E7 contains a relatively simple formula to extract data from the supplied table. I have tried time and again to make this work, but the best i can come up with is the formula shown, which returns an incorrect value.
I have a spreadsheet with multiple sheets, which can vary from project to project, and they all have the same center sections of the headers. Is there any way to automate the filling in of all these headers based on the first sheet?
1) Data - the students are listed in Column A, math scores in Column B, reading scores in Column C and science scores in Column D. The grades of 300 students are entered in this sheet.
Student Math Reading Science
Jimmy 75 84 100
[code].....
2) Report Card template - This is the report card that needs to be generated for each student. It's pulling the student name and grades from the Data worksheet.
Student Name =Data!$A2
Math =Data!$B2
Reading =Data!$C2
Science =Data!$D2
How do I create worksheets (report cards) for additional students? I have 300 students in the school. I need the next worksheet to reference Data!$A3. I know how to cut and paste the report card template and then edit =Data!A2 to be =Data!A3 to create a report card for Sally. How do I create the 300 report cards I need?
I've been teaching for 13 years. I can create a report card for each student in my class and edit each worksheet individually for each student. Now I've been asked to do this for the whole school and I don't know how to create the other 299 sheets I need.
Using the first worksheet "sheet1" I need to create individual worksheets each with a name for the different rows in column A, they also need to be arranged in that order. I found what appears to be the the first half of my solution on this thread for creating + naming the worksheets. Thank you Donkeyote :-) http://www.excelforum.com/excel-2007...-of-cells.html
That macro does almost everything but if someone was to delete a worksheet, or move it around it would not be in sync with the starting list. I need to arrange the worksheets based on the list on "sheet1". The list is going to be ever growing and will probably be re-arranged multiple times. I'm sure it's something really easy but I just can't figure it out.
I'm currently faced with a spreadsheet that has data formatted like this: A 1 RandomRowofData1 2 RandomRowofData2 3 RandomRowofData3 4 RandomRowofData4 5 RandomRowofData5 6 RandomRowofData6 7 RandomRowofData7 8 RandomRowofData8 9 RandomRowofData9
Every 9 rows, a new "set" of data repeats itself (wow, this is so hard to put into words)....
I need to figure out a way to get the data in column "A", every 9 rows, to transpose itself into 9 separate columns.
I am trying to go through each worksheet and if the worksheet name is Hematology then the header columns will be put into the listbox (ListBox1). The first row of the header is the parameter and the second is the units. Ideally I'd like column 1 to have the first headr row and column 2 to have the second header row. Once the listbox is completed, the user can select multiple columns by the header and those columns will be deleted. I have the ListStyle set to 1-fmListStyleOption and MultiSelect set to 1-fmMultiSelectMulti
The only thing I get when I run the rubroutine is a userform (Hematology), an empty listbox (ListBox1) and my two command buttons (Nothing to Delete and Remove Parameters).
Private Sub Hematology_initialize() Dim Wrkst As Worksheet Dim Header1 As Range HeaderRange1 As String
For Each Wrkst In Worksheets If Wrkst.Name = "Hematology" Then For i = 1 To Wrkst.ColumnCount Set Header1 = Wrkst.Cells(5, i) HeaderRange1 = Header1.Address & ":" & Header1.Offset(1, LastColumn).Address With Hematology.ListBox1 'Clear old ListBox RowSource .RowSource = vbNullString 'Parse new one .RowSource = HeaderRange End With Next i End If Next Wrkst End Sub
I've been attempting to find a macro that would combine a number of similar workbooks into one large workbook. The files I'm dealing with are all .csv files with identical columns and headers.
I found one macro here: see below (this is the start of the macro) yet either I'm not using it correctly or there are errors in it as when I run it I get an error that says Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range and gives me the option to debug it. When I choose to debug it opens up the macro and has the following section highlighted?
Set wsMaster = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Master") 'sheet report is built into
The macro in I found on this site begins with the following:
Option Explicit
Sub Consolidate() 'Author: Jerry Beaucaire' 'Date: 9/15/2009 (2007 compatible) (updated 4/29/2011) 'Summary: Merge files in a specific folder into one master sheet (stacked) ' Moves imported files into another folder
I have written a 2007 workbook which contains 4 simple macros. One of the macros automates the process of saving the print range as a .pdf file. It works fine on my pc but when I send it to others to use, when they try the macros, they all return a 1004 runtime error.
how to create a copy of my employee attendance template. Is there a way to create a copy of the template by entering an employee name in the "name" cell of the template and it automatically renames the sheet that employee name and also saves or recopies the template for use with the next employee?
i have created a diary using multiple tabs. I would now like to create a template that i can paste into the multiple tabs. I have tried to copy and paste but the format ends up all wrong, I would also like to paste all the tabs in one go Regards Johnt Auto Merged Post;I dont have to paste anything all i have to do is select all sheets on the first page and then design my template on that page which will show on all pages
I'm trying to create a workbook with multiple worksheets. My first sheet to be named "Main" and each additional sheet to be named in sequence after the values in the cells between B5:B98 on !Main.
I'd like to have a macro that would take a worksheet in this workbook named "Template" and make a copy for each cell between B5:B98 and name that new worksheet "c" and then the value in each of those (B5:B98) cells.
Example: First worksheet named "Main" Second worksheet named "c01" Third worksheet named "c01.1" and so on.....
I have a userform with two listboxes in them, i have set the columns in the listbox to 9 and would like to populate the column headers in the listboxes with the column header of one of the sheets.
I'm currently doing a survey using an excel workbook that contains multiple questions across multiple worksheets using radio buttons linked to certain cells.
I have around 400 workbooks coming back to me, so what i want to do is take specific values from across many worksheets within each workbook and combine them into a large master table in a seperate workbook.
I've tried using VBA, but not being very proficient at it i've hit a brick wall with that, so i'm hoping that there is an easier way to do it than what i'm currently pursuing.
I Have a number(30+) of excel files based off of one template. I have since updated the template, thus making the the old ones obsolete. Is there a way to update the older files to use the new template without having to copy and paste the addition's row by row column by column?
None of the additions to the template will change the placement of existing data, nor will it change the data itself. It will however add Values to cells that were previously empty.
I have .Raw data in 3 different configurations, which can be opened in Excel.
I want to automatically extract relevant data (Columns) from these 3 different types of .Raw data before running analysis using chart using Macros.
Now here is the problem, Data from the .Rawdata needs to be accumulated. That is, I have multiple sheets of excel, which I have to open manually and extract specific data from individual columns onto another sheet to accumulate every data before running analysis.
How to tackle this situation?
1. Able to detect the right type .Raw data for use in Excel. 2. Extract data from many excel onto one main sheet, using Macros.
I am new to the VBA editing and I am missing some steps to get my files correctly generated and then ideally saved in PDF format in the same folder.
I have two files; one is an invoice template with the following fields:
Invoice Reference: Line 8 column D Issue date: Line 9 column D Client name: Line 11 column E&F Client address: Line 12 column E&F Product name: Line 16 column E&F Product details: Line 18 column E&F Production date: Line 20 column E&F Delivery date: Line 22 column E&F Units: Line 24 column E&F Total Units: Line 26 column E&F Total Invoiced: Line 30 column F
Each sheet in the "template" workbook should be named after the Invoice Reference.
Secondly I have the source file in which the data is organized as follows: (Both are in the same folder)
Invoice Reference: column A Issue date: column B Client name: column C Client address: column D Product name: F Product details: column G Production date: column H Delivery date: column I Units: column J Total Units: column J Total Invoiced: column E
One invoice needs to be created per line in the source workbook. I tried many times the macro recording without getting the correct outputs.
I've got data being scraped from a site, putting 1 new workbook in a folder each day
each workbook has 40 sheets in it.
i need to run 5 modules in sequence on a sheet then loop to the next sheet and run the same 5 modules.
ive writen all the modules, and can loop them through the sheets in sequence but i cant work out how to loop them through the each workbook in the folder..
is there an easy way to do this or can it not be done because it would need access to the folder that holds all the wordbooks which lives outside of excel on the desktop ?
