I know how to use Application.DisplayFullScreen = True to enlarge the screen upon openning the excel file. But, when you minimize the screen and then maximize it again, the full screen goes back to normal. How do you force the screen to stay Full Screen?
View 5 RepliesI have the following code working great, however, it only applies to the worksheet that opens when the .xls file first opens. I need it to also apply to all of the sheets in the workbook, in particular sheets titled TNT & Variables
Option Explicit
Private mFormulaBar
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim oCB As CommandBar
For Each oCB In Application.CommandBars
oCB.Enabled = True
Next oCB
Application.DisplayFormulaBar = mFormulaBar
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim oCB As CommandBar
For Each oCB In Application.CommandBars
oCB.Enabled = False
Next oCB
mFormulaBar = Application.DisplayFormulaBar
Application.DisplayFormulaBar = False
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.WindowState = xlMaximized
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select
ActiveWindow.Zoom = True
Range("salesperson2").Select
End Sub
Alright, so I have Excel itself maximized but the window containing the cells doesn't fill the space that it should... if this makes sense, its like the cells have become a subwindow or something ...

I need to be able to display a list of values from a drop down window. When the value in the drop down window is selected I need to have the data populated in the rows to the right of the drop down window. I have created the Drop Down using data validation in B12, I need C12 & D12 to auto fill with the info listed in H2 & I1 according to the item picked in the drop down.
I have tried to follow an example listed on the website but i keep getting a formula error.
I have a collection with several thousand items. I added the collection to the Watch Window in the VBE editor, but the Watch Window only displays the first 256 items in the collection. Is it possible to view all items of a collection in the Watch Window?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to have a fullscreen application all the time, so for this I've added to things in my code:
1) Application.DisplayFullScreen = True in Workbook_Open
2) Same in WorkBook_WindowsResize
I open my workbook, it goes fullscreen. Until now all OK. However, if I press ESC or doubleclick on the topbar, it goes out of it.
Now the weird thing: if I click the "Restore window" button (which is right under the application maximize button that incidentally I have disabled) it snaps on fullscreen and THEN it keeps this state forever, even on ESC/doubleclick. Which is what I want.
So my question is: what does exiting from fullscreen and going back in change so that the workbook event starts triggering, and how I can replicate it programmatically? I've already tried WindowState = xlNormal followed by xlMaximize, it doesn't change anything.
My workbook opens in Full Screen mode. Now, I don't want anyone to press the ESCAPE key to go back to Normal View. I have tried many different codes but for some reason I can't seem to get it to work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedApplication.DisplayFullScreen = True
I've just noticed that putting the excel application in fullscreen mode does not take into account the "working area" (i.e. screenheight - taskbarheight ). as such, the bottom area and "down scroll" button of the vertical scroll bar are covered up by the taskbar (2rows)...(they are behind is, and therefore not visible/accessible). without disappearing/hiding the bottom-docked taskbar, is there anyway to be in fullscreen and have the bottom part of the vertical scroll bar visible?
When I started using VBA, all the code for each module was shown in the code window. This was a bit cumbersome when looking for one sub in particular. Now when I load VBA, all the Subs and Functions have their own page, and can be selected from the right hand drop down list. This is much easier for entering code, and finding subs. However, it is sometimes useful to see 'the big picture', so how do I swap between the two types of display?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a fairly elaborate close-down routine for my workbook.
1) Quit out of fullscreen (restore initial state of excel before saving)
2) Hide all sheets but one (enforces cant do anything unless macros enabled)
3) Automatically save without a prompt
4) Close the workbook
I've researched it well and implemented it to the point where it works, but only if the user clicks the excel application close button -- the "X" in the titlebar (hence not in fullscreen).
However, if I launch the process via a userform button click, then for some reason the
DisplayFullscreen = False, Sheets hiding, and save codes have no effect (fullscreen persists, sheets are not hidden, no file is saved) in the Workbook_BeforeClose() subroutine....
I repeat: all the above works fine if process was launched by "native" excel button, but does not have any effect if launched from a userform commandbutton. (?!?!) any ideas what's going on?
I'm including my code so you can get an idea how it's structured.... by it's pretty "by the forum" as far as I can tell...
Private Sub CloseButton_Click()
If(1) Then
'Method 1 - close directly from userform command button
With ThisWorkbook
'.RunAutoMacros (xlAutoClose)
.Close
End With
Else
'Method 2 - set a timer to call a function to perform
' "ThisWorkbook.close" in a function outside of the userform
CustMenuCloseTimer = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 2)
Application .OnTime CustMenuCloseTimer, "CustMenu_CloseAction"
End If
End Sub
Example:....
i m wanting Cell B1 to display true if any of the values in column C match otherwise I want to display false.
A 1
B 0
C 0
D 0
But I can't determine how to get this done.
I have attached the spreadsheet for reference. All other sheets pull information from the WHITE sheet.
I want the columns for unit price, discount and total to be set to two decimal places but I also don't want it to show anything if the field has a 0 value (so if i only have a few items I don't get lots of o's).
To get the field to not display a 0 if it is empty on the WHITE sheet I have been using "0;-0;;@" which I found on the net. If I use this then it negates the two decimal places.
This also includes the WHITE sheet.
I have a certain macro which copies data from one file to the other. There are several target files (refering to a given month each) and one source file. The user chooses a month from a drop down list in the source file which modifies a certain cell. The value of this cell decides on which of the 12 target files will be opened to paste the data to. The macro also copies the value of a cell which refers to the current date (=TODAY()) This number is then compared with a the range (value between two pints in time: start and end date of a given month). All I need is some sort of a pop-up window with a header i.e. WARNING. and the window text: You are about to send the information to a file which does not refere to the current month, are you sure you want to perform this action" and two buttons YES and NO in case the value of the current date does not match the range set up by the starting and ending of a given month in the target file. The button YES would then do waht ever the code that was placed before the pop-up window said, save the aplication and close it, and the NO button would simply close the aplicatiown without saving it. Something like that:
Sub Export()
'the whole code describing the action to be taken
If Range("A1").Value >= Range("A3").Value And Range("A1").Value <= Range("A2").Value Then
'here the A1 cell refers to the current date and cells A2 and A3 to the start and the end date of the month
End Sub
i have a macro that performs the same search in many websites, opening a new ie window for any site. What i want now is opening a new tab in IE instead of a new window. To illustrate, here go some code:
VB:
Dim PartNo As String 'Declaro la cadena de texto que determina la busqueda
Public Sub BuscarPLCCenter()
Dim IE As InternetExplorer
[Code]....
I would like that all of these procedures opened a new IE tab to do the search, cause actually it opens like 15 windows at a time and is not user friendly enough.
I am using Excel 2003 and wish to make a tip message (pop-up like window perhaps) if a value of a particular cell is exceeded.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to have a macro, that is started from the immediate window, close the immediate window when it's done. My macro closes the immediate window, but as soon as it ends, the immediate window reopens and my cursor is inside it.
View 14 Replies View RelatedThere is a column with a formula and a list validation, and an adjacent hidden column with numbered ids. When moving into the list validation cell the Worksheet_Selection_Change event code saves information about the Target cell - value, address, formula. When a value has been obtained from the list the Worksheet_Change event code looks up a belonging id in a lookup table and put this in the hidden id cell, and puts the saved formula back into the list validation cell. This makes the sheet (or window) unmanagable.
When I move around the sheet I can see the cell name in the Name Box, but the sheet itself is not visible. The only way to display the sheet is to add a new window (Window - New Window), choose the first "frozen" window (Window - 1. window) and quit this window. Then the new window is ready for use, but of course with the same limitations as the newly quitted one. Ring a bell, someone?? The funny thing is that in this workbook I also use the same functionality in another sheet without any problems.
I'm looking for a way to use VBA to set the window size upon opening the workbook. When the document opens, there should be two windows, each taking up half the screen and each on a particular tab.
Currently, if I save the workbook with the window settings I want, when I open it, both windows are maximized. When I hit the restore button, they go back the settings with which they were saved, which is what I want it to look like as soon as it's opened. Also, a bonus would be for the code to determine the screen size, so it can fill the screen no matter what monitor/computer it's opened on.
I have 3 worksheets in a workbook. How can I have the view go to A2 and View that on each worksheet? I do a Range("A2").Select But, it still shows the window on another column - row.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI open up Excel by double clicking on a file, it opens but it just has a grey background and the file I opened is displayed as a small 1 inch stip in the top left - just a title bar with the windows maximise, minimise and close buttons.

I've built a macro to run a loop that opens excel files, prints certain sheets and closes them. I have the macro working - to some degree. here is my code (this is excel):
Sub RMPProducer()
OldPath = "S:RMBS_Performance_Analytics Analysis1 Staging Folder For Monthly Model Templates2007200704VVDeals"
Dim t As Workbook
Dim s As String
Dim a As Window
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = OldPath
.SearchSubFolders = False
.Filename = "*.xls"
.MatchTextExactly = True
If .Execute() > 0 Then
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
s = .FoundFiles(i)
I have 2 problems. First problem is that I am trying to add a function to make the window close once its finished printing. This actually works - but it limits my loop iterations from i = 1 to 2 (so it only runs 2 times and I'm not exactly sure why). If I don't include the statement - this can run for up to 7 - 8 times (these are very large files) then excel runs out of memory. Unfortunately, i can't set the loop to run from i = anything other than one.
So What I would prefer is to be able to make the "ActiveWindow.close" command work - because this way I can run the entire loop. But I'm not sure how to. I tried window referencing, I tried adding a new active Window so when the file opens, its opening in the active window already, but nothing works.
Preferably, I need to be able to reference both windows, as my next macro will involve referencing 2 windows (one static - always open) and the other the loop above.
Heres a strange thing, My latest version of a spreadsheet i have design has got a small problem. When clicking on a cell, nothing appears in the edit window, and when you double click on the cell to edit the contents the data disappears.
This only happens on one sheet within a workbook of 7 pages. The werid thing is that it does not happen on the version before
Any ideas how this could of happened and is there a fix?
Is it possible to create a popup window that contains drawing objects?
I created a "form" with the objects, but I don't know how to use the form.

Can it be hidden and then made visible when the cell is selected?
