Dec 1, 2008I am using the following macro code on a protected unshared workbook used by multiple users across an intranet and am trying to implement 2 additions to the macro
1. Disable the startup Autoclose message text box for users who open the file using 'Read Only' or 'Notify'.
2. Change the code so that the ShutDown clock resets itself if the mouse is moved, a new cell is selected, a new worksheet is selected, or a new workbook is selected. Basically, I want to keep the workbook open for any sort of user activity.
The problem I am running into is that the workbook will still autoclose on a user who is simply tabbing between workbooks to view data, or simply using the mouse to select new cells.
Autosave / Autoclose After Inactivity [Roy's Code]
Dec 13, 2008I have seen a number of discussions on this subject. I used Roy's code posted here and wanted to make a small change. I want to give the user a warning msg, few minutes before the autoclose would be scheduled to occur. This would give the user a chance to change cell selction or do somethig to reset the timer. If the message goes unanswered, the autoclose should occur as scheduled.
I am attaching a workbook with the macros installed in workbook, standard module and worksheet.
It dosn't seem to do what I want. It seems to work, but it acts differently everytime I run it.
Can someone please look at the attached workbook and help me fix it?
Autoclose "This Workbook Contains One Or More Links That Cannot Be Updated" Window
Oct 28, 2008As before my code sequentially opens over 200 workbooks, extracts data from each of them and pastes it into a register. I do get the occasional workbook which has some links in it which cannot be immediately updated and so Excel produces a requestor window asking if I want to Continue or Edit Links. I always want to Continue and wonder how I can code this. I presume this will be something to do with this line of code?

Feb 13, 2008If for example:

Worksheet Change Causes Three Second Delay
May 23, 2007I don't know any way ask this question without attaching an example. But the problem itself is pretty easy to explain. On the attached worksheet, whenever anyone makes a change to the information in column C (labeled as Act. Chicks) this triggers a worksheet change that makes that cell have a red font. It also triggers a routine (in a standard module) that updates textboxes that continually display a running total.
Here is the problem: After the information is entered, and the routines have finished executing, there is an incredibly annoying delay of about three seconds. That is, it takes three seconds before you can even select a different cell. This is very difficult for the user to deal with, especially when she has a great deal of information that she would like to enter very quickly. What is strange to me is that if I run the routine for the Worksheet Change within the VBE, I get the delay after the last line of the code (in the standard module) has been executed. In other words, I can't see any code that is running during this long "pause." What is the computer doing during this time, and what can I do to fix it?

Add Time Delay Between Macro Steps
Jan 15, 2009Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.1"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.2"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.3"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.4"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.5"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.6"
etc . . .
Basically, I just recorded a macro to change the cell value. This code continues to 4.8 . . .Is there a more efficient way to code this??
Also, I'd like to add a time delay (say +-5seconds) between each step. So basically it would say:
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.1"
[CODE THAT DELAYS FOR A TIME, THEN GOES TO THE STEP BELOW]
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "3.2"
[CODE THAT DELAYS FOR A TIME, THEN GOES TO THE STEP BELOW]
Time Delay When Executing Macro In VBA

Delay In Switching Between Workbook Windows
Oct 22, 2009Workbook Name Changes – But Workbook Does Not For Five Seconds?? MS Office Excel 2003 / SP3 Installed. I have noticed an odd occurrence from time to time while switching between workbooks. When I switch from one workbook to another, (typically via the “Window” pull down – but the same result happens when switching workbooks on the tabs at the bottom of the screen), the “switched to” workbook name will instantly appear at the top of the application, but the actual switch to the selected workbook is delayed for several seconds, (five seconds or so).
While not a major issue, it is annoying. I suspect that it is a memory allocation issue, (I have a Duo CPU System / XP Pro / 2 GB RAM), and with that in mind I have both restated MS Excel and also performed a complete re-boot. While either option does (seem) to result in the issue being (temporally) removed from my machine, it does return. I may go for several days without this issue occurring, and then it appears for no known reason
Delay Parts Of A Macro From Running
Oct 13, 2006I have created a macro that goes to a report application. The report application runs a script that extracts certain parts of various reports (the script asks for user input to pull the various reports) and exports the data to a spreadsheet. The script gets one report, writes the data to a spreadsheet, gets the next report, appends the data to the spreadsheet, etc. The macro then moves and formats the data in a customized way to be put to second spreadsheet. My problem is that the macro tries to format the data before the script has completed - how can I stop the macro from running until the script has finished? The script varies in run time - anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes.
View 2 Replies View RelatedDelay Calculation Of Worksheet Functions
Nov 9, 2006I have a workbook that has many simple functions moving data around to different sheets and processing some if statements on some of the data. The problem that I am running into is all of the data is initially pulled in from a SQL DB, and I believe that the workbook is calculating many of it's if statements, prior to all of the SQL data being loaded, therefore, many of the worksheet formulas are coming up with the wrong result. Is there a way to delay the calculation of all the basic worksheet functions, so that I can ensure that all the data is in the workbook from SQL, before they all fire. I have attempted to use Tools--Options--Calculation--Manual Calculation, but it appears that even though I have things set that way, all of the formulas in the workbook have already pulled their values through.

OnTime Running As Soon As File Opens I Need A Delay
Feb 23, 2007I have the following code saving a copy of a spreadsheet as a backup every 30 minutes. The problem is the save code is running as soon as the file is opened. I want to save only after the file has been open for 30 minutes. The way it is now if I open the sheet up and something is wron the backup has already been overwritten by the messed up sheet. Will someone please let me know what needs changed to eliminate the inital running of the code?

StringConcat (Chip Pearson) Calculation Delay
Oct 20, 2009I have used Chip's StringConcat code [url]
When I first entered the function code as a formula on the worksheet, the result was instant and correct.
However, if I change the contents of one of the cells in the stringconcat range, the result does not change.
I need to edit (eg F2 then enter) either the cell with the text or the cell with the formula for the result to update.
If I highlight the column where the formula is used and Find / Replace to change "=" for "=", they all update at once (tip I learn't here)
Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas why it may happen?
Notes:
I am using Excel 2000 (work)
I have 6 cols of info (I to N),
These 6 columns contain formulae that basically copies plain text from the same row in Cols A to F. (Since not all the left hand side cells are full, the formula copies down the value above if the cell isblank, or copies the cell value if there istext)
Formula is in Cell G2 and reads
=stringconcat("; ",TRUE,I2:N2)
Code is stored in the Module1
I have 1 header row (Row 1)
I have 16 rows of text (Rows 2 to 17)
Not all rows have text in all 6 columns, but the are no blank cells betweeen data working left to right

Excel 2011 :: Looking For PV Formula That Accommodates Delay Period
Aug 2, 2014My software is Excel for Mac 2011 version 14.4.3 (140616).
I am using the present value formula =PV(rate, nper, pmt, [fv], [type]), with the pmt expressed as a negative number, to determine the present value of a lump sum that would generate specific, equal, regular annual payments, exhausting itself in the process. I fill it in this way: rate is an annual rate, nper is the number of years the payments run, pmt is the annual amount paid each year, fv =0, type =1
I would like to be able to have a similar formula in Excel that would do the same thing except that it would take into account a time period where no payment is made, ie a "delay".
For example using the PV formula I know that if I have $49,019.96 invested at 1%, it will generate $10,000 per year for 5 years, leaving a net investment of 0. I would like to know the formula that would tell me how much I would need to invest at 1% to yield $10,000 per year for 5 years, again exhausting itself completely in the process, with the first $10,000 payment starting 3 years from now. I know it would be less because I would have the full amount earning interest for 3 years at 1% before any payments need to be made.

When doing this machines jump in CPU, Excel goes "not responding" and on average comes back to life 1 minute 45 seconds after pressing the delete key.
Note: We are not doing a right click and deleting the rows. This is a highlight of the 5000 rows and pressing the delete keyboard key to clear the data.
