Creating, Using & Updating A Unique Sequence In Shared Template, In VBA
May 22, 2006
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 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.
Is there a shortcut in doing this instead of copy pasting it?
I have a record just like this with about 572+ rows and 13 repeating items with that 13 items having their own column so copy pasting is really a tedious task. Kindly please help me solve this?
I need to create a grouped sequence that changes every 10 rows.
So in Column A cell A2 the number would start at 01349 and every 10 cells it would decrease by 1 and go on down to 0 so it would look something like this:
I am trying to create a number counter which runs up to a value which is determined by a COUNTIF Statement in the spreadsheet. I can get the number counter to run to the given value. However, due do formatting reasons I do not want the counter to start in cell A1 but A3 instead.
Essentially my code looks like this: ... ActiveSheet.Cells(3, 1).Select Dim i As Integer For i = 1 To Range("A1") Cells(i, 1) = i Next i ...
I'm trying to write some VBA code to do the following (don't think its possible using formulas only). In column A i have a list of codes (A1:A32) in column B i have a value (between 1 and 32 in this case, but feasibly could be any integer) I am trying to achive an output in column C which would take the code from col A and then "count up to" the value in col B;- for example "AAA" in col A, and "4" in column B would return AAA1, AAA2, AAA3, AAA4 in column C. For the next code say BBB and corresponding value, would start its sequence in the next empty cell below AAA4 in col C.
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 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.
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.
I need to create a series which must look like in third column. This can be done using concatenate and & function but what i need that 01 & 02... must get autogenerarted and i have to use only first two column as source.
I have to create ranges of unique numbers that follows the below rules.
1) Have to start with 3 standard digits (ie 101 or 102 etc) 2) The total length of the is has to be 10 digits (ie 1010123456) 3) The second part (the last 7 numbers) must be unique! 4) Can create a lot of numbers (more that 5000 rows) 5) thats all with the unique numbers
Continue,
Somewhere in the sheet has to be a search function to find where a specific id is located, make it red and copy/cut in to another sheet.
I need to create unique IDs for all of my stock. I would like to use the concatenate function so that the first letter of each products type is taken and then joined onto a unique number. Im not sure how I will do this I was thinking that the formula looks at the largest value and adds 1 so that there are no duplicate numbers added to the first letter of the product type. E.g. the first mother board added will be "M1" the next will be "M2" as the formula has found that M1 exists and has added 1.
I am attempting to create a unique list on column B of tab "1" from columns B of tabs "2" through "5" for which i have the following array formula thus far,
I have a big keyword list saved in Excel. Something like the following,
These are all keyword phrases;
car rent car hire cars for rent uk etc etc etc
All listed in Column A
All phrases in Column A, and in separate rows.(1 phrase per row.)about 2000 lines (Rows) in total.
What I want to know is there any way of selecting the whole list and exporting it (To save it as another list. A list of just unique keywords?
So, It would create a list like; car rent uk hire for etc etc etc.
So basically I want excell to look at all the words and export them to another list showing just unique keywords, 1 per line.
This is so I can see from a huge list what all the unique keywords are. Is there a way of doing this within Excel Now?? or has someone made a plugin ( Macro) to achieve this?
I've looked at the sort & filter options, but it doesn't appear to have this function?
I currently have a list of companies. I want to create a unique list of these companies which I can use for some irrelevant purpose. What i did was I started recording a macro in which I first deleted everything in the spreadsheet. Afterwards I copied the whole company list from another spreadsheet and pasted it as values into the new spreadsheet. Afterwards I made an advanced filter; list range being the companies and copied it into a new location after making sure I had said yes to unique only.
I need to count the unique for a customer. The areas to be counted are separated by blank lines. At present, I am using sumproduct(1/countif(range1,range1), to count the unique items. This formula works perfectly except that it takes me almost an hour to do this for all the measurements. Is there a macro that can provide me with the same results -- putting the same values where I am presently have the formulas (the cells that before the blank lines)?
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 a spreadsheet with some calculations and the part i am interested in is data in R4 : V58
In this R4:R58, S4:S58 and T4:T58 have some rows that have False because of IF calculations that put False in some rows of R and hence in S and Hence in T.
For example, R15="FALSE" so will S15 and T15 be. Col U is based on whether the corresponding row in R is False or a number. If a Rown in R is false, the row in U= 0 else the row in U is the same as in the same row of a different column - Col I
Col R, T and U are numbers. Col S is text
For example:" R S T U False False False 0 False False False 0 False False False 0 55 DEF 3 15 46 XYZ 2 67 False False False 0 False False False 0 23 GEF 4 43
I want a table in another worksheet that will sort through this using a formula and print
If I can define things like where the table will be placed in the new worksheet etc, that will be a bonus..But It appears I cannot understand how to do this at all..
I have 6 worksheets in my file. In sheets 1-5, column A2:A26 list people's names. Some people's names appears on more than one sheet. Not all cells are populated with a value.
ex. SHEET1 COLUMNA Bill
[Code]....
My attempt was... =INDEX('Week1:Week5-!$A$2:$A$26,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($A$1:A1,"Week1:Week5"!$A$2:$A$26),0))
where the sheets were Week1-Week5 and the values on each sheet was A2:A26. But I think there's an issue with Excel being able to 3D reference for these types of functions.
1) I created a one-sheet template, and a new workbook from that sheet. When in that new workbook I go Insert>Sheet>Other and select the aforementioned one-sheet template, Excel crashes, or if not, it adds the new sheet, but then no longer saves the workbook and starts producing error messages (like: "An unexpected error has ocurred. AutoRecover has been disabled for this session of Excel.").
1a) Now, the complication is that this is working when I do a model operation with a generic template sheet. So I checked the template that I actually want to form sheets after, and Excel finds no errors, nor does it's name contain any unusual characters. What could Excel prevent from working with a template like this?
2) How do I edit a template? The only way I can find is to manually find the spot in finder, open, and save with the same name. But: if I do that, the documents basing on that template don't change accordingly. If they're intended not to, the whole template procedure makes no sense. I could then just as well copy a file. — I've been searching for tutorials on that, but google doesn't even return a single result on Excel "edit template". Therefor my very basic question here.
I've attached 2 test files, one is the database master file containing the projects (each row represents a project, unique reference number in column A) and the other is the blank template file i'm hoping to export data into and then save down with the naming convention "column A_column B.xlsx"
Kept the test files simple but would need to modify any code to apply to much larger database consisting of many more fields etc.
I have a list of invoice #'s on a sheet named "Temp Sheet".
I have a VBA macro that created a new tab for each entry and named it the invoice #. So basically the vba code created a new tab ( based on the number of invoice #'s on my list ), and named each tab an invoice number. So if I had a list of 10 invoice #'s, named S1-S10, the vba code created 10 tabs, named S-1, S-2,. S-3.....
Now to my question. I have a template sheet I want to copy from ( "Template" ), and select any sheet that starts with "S", and copy/paste this template to.
I have a template file for ordering trafolyte and steel plates. I have added macros to this template file. The existing macros do the following (shortly described):
Macro 1: clears order Macro 2: update order date + send a read only file to the supplier of plates + save a read only copy of the file into one of three folders acc to info in one of the cells.
It's the Macro 2 I want to edit.
I want to add a "function" which copy a selection of data.column A to N from row 12 to 548 but only the rows where there is a value in column A.
Row 1 to 11 includes standard order info and Macro buttons. Row 11 includes the heading for order data.
For everytime someone click on the Macro 2 button in the template file, I want the selection to be paste into the first "available" row in a "Total list" file.
The "Total list" file may have to be open (or a function to open, paste selection and then close the "Total list" file may be added)
File and Folder info:
To simplify suggestions, the following file and path info can be used (I can change to the correct later): Template file name: template_order.xlsm Template file location: \servershared emplate
Total list file name: total_list.xlsx Total list file location: \servershared otal
Selection info:
The template file exists of a "general order info area" A1:N10 The column heading for order data is located at A11:N11 The selection to be copied is A12:N550 - But only rows where column A includes data (not empty). (If the spesific order consists of 14 plates than there will be item no 1-14 in column A and I then I want to copy A12:N25 (row 25 will be item 14).
When I try to use record macro it looks like it only records what's happening in the template file - It doesn't record the pasting in the total list.
