Deleting IE Temporary Internet Files / Cookies / History?
May 4, 2014
I have a VBA application that uses the IE Application object many many times through a loop, and then repeats. So basically it is running continuously, and opening invisible IE window every few seconds.
I have code in there that 'kills' all IE instances between each iteration so that the number of windows doesn't pile up, but after awhile the temporary internet files, cookies, and history build up too.
Is there any VBA code that will clear those three things out?

This is a follow up to an earlier post about web queries
I need to be able to clean out my directory :
"C:Documents and Settings" & Environ("UserName") & "Local SettingsTemporary Internet Files"
But nothing I've tried seems to work.
The kill command doesn't appear to work with wildcards... is there a way I can loop through the directory and delete the files one by one?

When I run a webquery to download information from online I have found the common 1004 error to occur very often however I have found that if I delete my temporary internet files prior to running the webquery, this problem does not occur. I therefore require an automated function to delete the temporary internet files however the simple 'Kill' statement does not seem to work.

In Excel 2007, Hyperlinks in cells pointing to jpg files in a subfolder display with internet explorer. On my WinXP/Intnernet Explorer 8/Office 2007 system these links work fine.
When sending the excel and jpg files to another person with Win7/Office 10, jpg hyperlinks work and launch Internet Explorer but come up blank. (Hyperlinks to PDF files work fine and show up in Acrobat, just the jpg's come up blank in Explorer.)
Questions:
What is causing this, a setting in Explorer/Win7 or Excel?
Can I change Excel hyperlink default software to use something other than Explorer to display the jpg files?

I've got these command lines I'm using to delete some specific files.
However when running the code, I get some message boxes popping up to ask if I want to save the file.

I have to delete data from D15 to AZ129, D168 to AZ282, D312 to AZ426 in 46 excel files, saved in the same folder. I go through the process manually by opening each file and then deleting data.

I'm new to this forum and to VBA
First-off, I'm using Excel 2003 SP3.
The setup: A software application I regularly use produces csv data files (in this case approx 300 files). These I have converted to xls format using a separate macro. The files are in one folder and named as follows eg
G1 18800.xls
G1 18802.xls
G2 18975.xls
G3 19881.xls
G3 19990.xls
G5 19990.xls
etc
The files contain the following data:
DATE TIME VALUE STEPS EXCL ACCEL
01-Oct-03 08:00 0 0 FALSE 0
01-Oct-03 08:01 0 0 FALSE 0
01-Oct-03 08:02 0 0 FALSE 0
01-Oct-03 08:03 0 0 FALSE 0
01-Oct-03 08:04 757 20 FALSE 0.18
01-Oct-03 08:05 1714 32 FALSE 0.44
01-Oct-03 08:06 1524 32 FALSE 0.39
01-Oct-03 08:07 1665 45 FALSE 0.47
01-Oct-03 08:08 1644 42 FALSE 0.46
01-Oct-03 08:09 263 8 FALSE 0.06
etc
I then created a macro using code I sourced from the internet, and included some addtional commands (filename, copy/paste). See below. This macro opens the all the xls data files in the folder and copies the relevant data to an analysis workbook [Analysis sheet, Results sheet, Master sheet] ie the data is copied from the data file and pasted into the Analysis worksheet. Then the results are copied from the Results sheet to the Master sheet. So far so everything works.
My problem is this: I'm stumped at how to delete rows from the xls data files before running the analysis workbook and macro. In other words, after converting the csv files to xls format I need to clean the xls data files.
I have a separate xls file with criteria data in two columns:
FileName Date
G1 18800 06-Oct-03
G1 18801 02-Oct-03
G1 18801 03-Oct-03
G1 18801 05-Oct-03
G2 18795 14-Oct-03
G2 18795 15-Oct-03
G2 18795 16-Oct-03
G2 18795 17-Oct-03
etc
The rows in a particular data file, with dates that are not present in the Criteria workbook must be deleted. This to be done for every data file in the folder. Also, I need to exclude rows for specific time periods eg 12H00AM - 04H00AM from all the files irrespective of date.
the code needed [should a separate macro be run or can code be placed within the present macro?]. I've tried looking for something similar on the internet, but my requirements seem too customized to be able to adapt the code that I found. And of course this is waaaay above my present skill level!

Sub CopyPaste()
'This code opens up data files (xls) in a specified folder and copies data A1:G17281 to an Analysis workbook (Analysis sheet).
'The data from the Results sheet is then copied to the Master sheet.

I'm trying to create a new worksheet just in memory.
Private Sub test()
Dim wsheet As New Worksheet
Dim a As Variant
a = ActiveSheet. Range("A1").Value
wsheet.Range("A1").Value = a
End Sub
When I run this, the like "wsheet.Range("A1").Value = a" gives the error <Class does not support automation or does not support extended interfaces. I could use that vitual worksheet (I call) to do functions like sorting filtering and other things without affecting the actual data, and get only the results. Is there a way to create such virtual worksheets.

When looking at a spreadsheet with many columns, it would be nice of the row of the cell I have selected would remain highlighted in yellow, so that as I scroll across rows it's easy to view the data associated with the selected cell. Of course, if I select another cell, I would want the highlighting to change to THAT row. I'm guessing this would have to be in a this.workbook change event.

I have a workbook change event that when fired checks criteria to see that the sheet is complete. If not complete, the user must complete information on the sheet before continuing. The problem is that some of the "stuff" the user must do requires macros that fire and gain access to other sheets. Thus the "trap" I have set to restrict the user to just the one sheet has backfired on me restricting the user to just the one sheet. Is there a way that the workbook change event (or any other workbook event) be temporarily disabled until activated again?

Below is the code I currently use to do the following which creates service reports.
When you click on the command button you can choose any XML file you want to import. This file is copied to a temporary worksheet where i selectively choose cells to populate textbox's which later populate my reports. What I want to do is the same exact thing but with a text file. Not all text files are the same length so it needs to be able to have a range. Here's my working code.
For Each SheetName In Array("Maintenance Data Sheet")
With Sheets(SheetName)
.Range("B127") = ""
.Range("U127") = ""
.Range("AJ127") = ""
.Range("AV127") = ""
.Range("AY124") = ""
[Code]...
Cancel:
MsgBox "No XML Selected"
End Sub

I have a spreadsheet representing a month where I am trying to figure out different scenarios for employees. One scenario is that an employee could have to move to a temporary position. In that case, I need to calculate the salary payments to temporary employees in a particular work unit. I've tried several different approaches to this problem, but am still getting the error.
One method has been using this sumproduct formula:

I am working on an Excel file which was saved and then whilst working on it my Excel programme locked up and I lost the data. I thought it would recover it but it didn't. So I lost my data and had to redo it all from the original saved file.
However, my problem is this. I have updated this file and saved it countless times but it never appears in my previous file history when I scroll down the file tab (Excel 2000) although it is stored on the file directory.

I have an actions tracker worksheet.
I want to type status update for an action - then when I press enter it should automatically as soon as I press enter:
- cut the text I typed from the cell leaving it blank
- move to the target cell (its in the same row) and "add" that text string (with a date stamp added) to the text already in the target cell.
Every day I type an update against the action in the first cell - and I press enter - it should copy that text into the target cell.
That way I have a complete history of updates against the action with date stamps.
Sounds pretty simple but I don't know where to start.
Example of a simple worksheet attached : Tracker.xls

I am using excel as point of sale book (to record customer name, service, and total price etc.) at our hair salon. We have employees that may be there to manage alone from time to time, and enter clients into excel.
Our worry is straight forward, and involves them erasing what they wrote. I am confident that the actual service and price is entered at the beginning, but want to track their changes to their own entries.
The "track changes" would work if it "tracked changes" after entry. But it seems to track the last change from saving. For example....the employee enters $40.25 presses enter--after she knows she can get away with a change, she may erase it altogether or change it to say $16.75.

Our main spreadsheet in the office is a shared filed which is accessed by 3 pc's.
We have been using this set-up for nearly 3 years and no problems until this last week. Now, over the past week, this message pops up when we try to save the file on the PC's not hosting the file.
"Excel was unable to save the workbook because there was a problem reading or applying part of the revision history. You can unshare the work book or save to a non shared workbook format to fix the problem"
I have shared/unshared/reshared and shared again but a week later, I still keep getting this message popping up. Any ideas?
One thing I have noticed is that we have set it in the advanced tab of the share workbook options not to keep revision history, but sometimes it also shows 'keep history for 30 days'.

I want to maintain a history of exam results held on different dates
For this purpose I created a file with three sheets named Inputs, Working & result history. Description of all sheet is as follows :
“Inputs” Used as main Input file to feed marks for each subject on certain exam date.
“Working” Linked with sheet inputs and perform calculations ( total marks, % etc)
“Result History” Date wise history of exam results based on sheet (working).
Required Solution Steps:
1.Score entered for different subjects in Sheet “Inputs” for a particular exam date.
2.Obtained marks are totaled and score % calculated based on scores entered in sheet inputs.
3.Date wise history of exam results recorded based on working sheet.
To transfer/copy/paste results from “Working” sheet to “Result history” sheet I recorded a macro which is linked with a button. This macro copy record from working sheet and paste it as value to result history sheet....

Now I need modification in this macro/or any other solution so that:
when I entered scores for next examination date in “inputs” sheet all calculations done as mentioned above in step 2 (for earlier exam date) & when I click the button again it post the result details to “result history” sheet in the row next to first record.
In this way a history of results for different examination dates can be maintained.

I was wondering is there a way to use vlookup and then when the particular piece of data is found (using vlookup) to paste it as a value instead of the formula? I have a file that tracks the market value of certain portfolios and i have a source file that i update every month. I dont want the numbers to be overwritten each month, i want to keep a history of the market values each month. Do i need to program something in VBA or can i work something up in the formula bar?

I have a table that includes list of clients, products they order, and requested delivery date. When the client calls in to place an order, I pull up the excel table (orders worksheet) and fill in the items quantities and the required delivery date for the client who called. Once I fill the information for the client who called in, I need to update a "log" worksheet with the information that I just entered. The log worksheet will eventually contains history of all the orders which I received in the past.

I need to find a way of populating a column of forecasts based upon previous sales amount and price. For instance if I have apples on special for $2 and previously sold 200 units on multiple occasions at this price but once off sold 1000 apples at special $1, but normally they are $3 selling on average 50. I would want to get a result of Forecast: 200, not 50 or anything else to far off
I've attached the sheet I currently use for work.
Dated tab: is my working sheet MerchTrend: Previous sales history, which is imported from POS system and unfortunately cells will change based upon sales
On the Dated Tab, price column includes multi buy prices (ie 2 for $3) but the Merch Trend refers to these as individual sales (ie 2 sales for $1.50) On the Merch trend, Price Type refers to promo style. (N for Normal Price, IA, S, R, IR, P are promotional)

I am looking to record the history of multiple cells at one time instead of as soon as I hit enter after changing one cell's value. There are other threads concerning just the history of a single cell as you input another value and hit enter.
So for example, I have multiple cells that are calculated using formula's in their respective cells using input cells in the worksheet. I will be changing the input cell's values in the worksheet to update the calculated cells. I want to record the input cell's values as well as the new calculated values at one time after changing the input cells. I dont know if I can add a button to a cell or something to that accord to accomodate this. I am still new to vba coding in excel.
From there forward I will interate this as new situations arise and want to record the input and output (calculated) cells on another tab or worksheet along with the date it was recorded.

I have to import data from an external source(oracle database) to an Excel(2013) table.
Now the data in the staging table in the database keeps refreshing/changing, However in Excel i need the data to come into a new row everytime instead of refreshing the whole table and looking like the staging table in the database. So basically i need to build history in Excel.

I managed to implement a macro that adds a time/date stamp in Column A when any of the subsequent cells in that row are changed. With this now working, I really need the ability to restore the undo history in case a change to the data needs to be reverted.
Sub procedure:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim c As Range
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each c In Target
If c.Column > 1 And c.Column < 21 Then
Cells(c.Row, 1) = Now
End If
Next c
Application.EnableEvents = True
