Displaying Prompts When Code Is Running In The Background

Jul 19, 2006

I would like to prompt the user of my Excel Macro, with a particular message which would appear while the code is running in the background, and then dissapear once the code if finished executing.

For instance:
I prompt the user "Do you want to run a new Query", Yes, No, or Cancel.

If they select yes, I would like a message appear that would advise them that "this may take some time, please be patient" and possibly give them a button that would allow them to cancel the process, all the while this process is running. Once the query is complete, the message would dissapear, or if they click on the cance button.

Running Macros In Background

Feb 29, 2008

I usually run it on a different server while I work on another available server. However, if I am in Excel on a different server working, I cannot copy and paste in Excel (if I try to copy & paste, I end up pasting data from the macro). This makes sense since the macro is copying & pasting but is there any way around this? I purposely didn't past the code since it's huge but it has a lot of "cells.copy, activesheet.paste, etc".

Custom Toolbar Code Prompts To Save

Dec 21, 2006

I have added a toolbar to an excel application that the company uses. I need this toolbar only to be accessed to this application and not any time that you open excel. I have used the following

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.CommandBars("Rithin-Toolbar2006").Enabled = True
Application.CommandBars("Rithin-Toolbar2006").Visible = True
go_cover
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_close()
Application.CommandBars("Rithin-Toolbar2006").Delete
Application.CommandBars("Rithin-Toolbar2006").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Rithin-Toolbar2006").Visible = False
End Sub

This works but only If I accept yes when it prompts me to save changes to the workbook. Each time I open the workbook and close it, it prompts me to save changes to the workbook. I dont want to force a save on the workbook, meaning have code that will save the workbook before closing. I want it such that if the user opens the workbook, and makes no changes, he/she should just close it with no questions asked.

Displaying Userform & Running Macros

May 11, 2006

I am copying web data into Excel and need a creative way to run a couple formatting macros on the data. I’m looking for the best way to initiate the macros. I cannot use command buttons because they’ll get deleting as a result of the line “DrawingObjects.Delete”.

I’d like to use a Useform with a couple buttons but am not sure how to have it automatically display when needed and hidden when not needed. I also prefer not using toolbars button unless they will only be displayed in that workbook and not any others.

Calculations To Manual Before My Code Runs And Set It Back To Auto When My Code Is Done Running

May 12, 2009

I am dealing with several very large spreadsheets using VBA to do various things. I found that my code worked well, but was taking a long time to run. The biggest time consumer was my use of the AutoFilter features. I have since turned calculations to manual before my code runs and set it back to auto when my code is done running. What are the potential consequences of my turning calculations to manual and then back to auto?

Modify Code To Change Cell Background Color

Nov 11, 2008

I have the code below set to change the background color based on certain conditions. What I need to do is change it so that if none of the conditions are met, it does not change the color at all. As it is written now, if anything is entered in a cell that has a background already set, but does not meet these conditions, the cell turns white.

How To Avoid Displaying Movement Across Sheets While Executing VBA Code

Feb 5, 2014

I have written a vba code which does some calculation on the data on sheet 1 and then puts this data on sheet3 and after the calculation is done it puts the result on a few comboboxes on sheet2. Now the issue is while this whole calculation is performed by excel, I can see the movement in between the sheets. I want to avoid seeing this movement ?

Is it because of multiple Sheet.Select statements inside the vba code ?

Code Changes Not Running

Nov 30, 2006

This is bizarre - over the last year or so, on two machines (one Win98SE/Off2K, the other Win2KSP4/Off2K3), very occasionally a change I've made to Excel/VBA code has been ignored (eg to add a MSGBOX call) - even after I've restarted Excel. The workaround is to add a blank line and remove it again in the actual code module, but its both annoying and intriguing,

VBA Code Not Running Automatically

Sep 28, 2009

I have written some code intended to automatically clear a cell when data appears in it from an external source. In one spreadsheet, it seems to work exactly as expected, ie when the cell is polulated, it immediately clears the contents. In another spreadsheet, with exactly the same code, it will not automatically clear. If I put it in debug mode and step through it line by line, then it does do as expected but otherwise it won't.

ActiveWorkbook Code Not Running

Jun 29, 2007

I have used a code to find the character "-" and replace it with nothing ("") from several named worksheets across my workbook, which OzGrid helped me with before, and it worked fine. Now I've added the code into my module (at the bottom) it doesn't work. The rest of the code works fine, and it doesn't come up with any errors when I run it, but it just seems to ignore the 'find and replace' part of it.

Sub split1()

Dim fromSheet As Object
Set fromSheet = Worksheets(1)
Dim fromRow As Integer
Dim toRow As Integer
Dim lastRow As Integer
Dim errCount As Integer
Dim thisSectionName As String
Dim i As Integer ' loop counter
Dim rng As Range 'found range
Dim emptyCellAbove As Range
Dim rng1 As Range
Dim arng1 As String 'Address of 1st hit rng1

Dim ii As Integer '2ND LOOP COUNTER

If Statement To Stop Dim Code From Running

Apr 29, 2014

Attached is an example of the program. The purpose of this program is to allow someone with very little knowledge about the information to enter data. The first tab labeled "Instructions" is will have two macros assigned to the buttons at the bottom of the page. The first macro labeled "Move Data" will move data will clear data in the shaded cell on the "Entry Form" sheet and fill those cells in with '----. The second macro labeled "Generate and Save" will save a master copy of the program, save a historical copy of the program by date, and print/save a pdf copy of the "Reports" sheet.

Each one of the historical (the last 8 sheets of the program) sheet receives data from the "Entry Form" and then moves the data by date into the table for archiving purposes.

If you look at the code for the "Entry Form". I have a couple of subs. The first being Worksheet_change. the first section of this code is to force certain cells to be uppercase. This part of the code is working fine. The second part of the code is the Dim MyValues. This part is working fine also, but...

My issue is... When I run the move data macro from the "Instructions" sheet the Dim MyValues reads these as changes to the cells and wants to push the data to the historical sheets.

What I would like is an IF Statement above the Dim MyValues part of this code that stops the Dim MyValue part of the code running if those values are blank, 0, or have '---- entered into them.

Running Code On A Hidden Sheet

Jul 13, 2009

I have placed the code I am using below. It takes values from a hidden sheet (PACTAct) and places them on a visible sheet (Email). The code moves between the two.

It works at the minute by unhiding the PACTAct sheet then at the end re-hiding it. However I don't want the user to see this sheet whilst the vba is running. Is there a way I can simply refer to the worksheet without unhiding it?

VBA Code To Turn Off Another Running Macro

Jan 5, 2012

I have a macro, that basically runs a sub routine to count down say for example 1 min, at which time the workbook closes. However if the user opens one of the forms I would like to turn off the background timer macro. How can I do this with code? Is there code that does the opposite of 'application.run'?

Running Code On Specific Worksheets

Dec 4, 2009

Let's say I have 6 Worksheets in my Workbook with the following names:

Sheeta1
Sheeta2
Sheeta3
Sheetb1
Sheetb2
Sheetb3

And I have three Subs that I want to run, one Sub for two specific Worksheets.

How could I code my Subs so that the first Sub runs on Sheeta1 and Sheetb1, the second Sub runs on Sheeta2 and Sheetb2, and the last Sub runs on Sheeta3 and Sheetb3?

As you can see, the 1, 2 and 3 in the Worksheet names are what links the Subs to the Worksheet.

Prevent Event Code Running

Oct 19, 2007

I know how to enable/disable events using VBA code, however is there an option within excel to turn it on/off? My problem is this...

At the beginning of my code I disable events and at the end I enable it again (I need to do this to avoid being caught in a loop). However something is going wrong somewhere in my code and the code stops halfway through. I'm trying to test sections of the code, but I often inadvertently stop the code without enabling the events again. Therefore I can't get my VBA to execute again unless I close excel down and restart. This is a pain as I have to find my place in the code again!

Compile Macro Code Before Running

May 9, 2008

I am writing a grading program, which during the course of functioning must run other code that has errors. I have used On Error Resume Next code to allow the program to keep functioning when it has run into errors so far. However, when a subroutine is called that calls another subroutine with incorrect parameters, I get a VBA error message pop up. Inserting On Error Resume Next directly into the other code doesn't stop this problem. I either need a way to have it skip over any call to a subroutine with improper parameters, or to check if a project can compile before grading it.

Discrepancies Between Running Macro And Stepping Through The Code?

May 22, 2013

I have just written a macro to validate/clean up some data which I get on a monthly basis. Some of the columns come from a pdf file and thus excel recognises these as strings. I have written some code that would convert this string to an integer which runs fine when I step through the code. However when I run the macro from a button the number value goes from e.g. 5000 to 0.

The code is below:

VB:
Sub Condition2()
For k = 8 To LastRow
Worksheets("Bordx Format").Cells(k, i - 1).Value = CDec(Cells(k, i - 1).Value)
Next k
End Sub

Input Box Stops Rest Of Code Running

Jul 18, 2014

I usually just use macros to clean up Data from non-excel sources. So I wrote a macro to do this, but the process requires a date to be added, so attempted to do this via an input box. The input box works, but the code doesn't, clicking the button to which the macro is bound spits out an error 91 (object out of bounds?) when it hits the search function right after the inputbox code. Both bits work as intended separately, so I guess it's just some moronic formatting error on my behalf.

Code Running When Already Open But Not When Newly Opened

Feb 26, 2014

Two workbook, A & B. Code in B copies some data over to a sheet in workbook A.

It does this not problems if A has remained open, but if it has just been opened, I get a "subscript out of range" error at the "With Workbooks" line.

The bit in red is what I have recently added to allow workbook A to be closed unless needed. Since adding this, the debug error has emerged, even though there was no problem when workbook A remained permanently open.

Code For Organizing A Worksheet By Rows: Not Running

May 13, 2009

Sub SplitOut()
Dim DataSH As Worksheet, OutSH As Worksheet
Set DataSH = Sheets("Input")
DataSH.Activate
lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row
For Each ce In Range("D2:D" & lastrow)
Application.StatusBar = "Actioning " & ce.Row & " of " & lastrow.............

I am working on this spreadsheet that has a lot of information that will only get bigger as time goes on. I would like to organize the contents of one column into separate spreadsheets. So if I have "stacking" in one cell of that column, the whole row associated with that cell will go to a new spreadsheet labeled "stacking".

I have attached the sheet. I would like column D (Type_Code) to be organized by the words in that column. So I would have 5 or so worksheets labeled stacking, cartoner, wheel, inspection, etc. The data here is input by a machine.

Code Execution Has Been Interrupted On Running Macro

Now..when I run any of my macros, I get the following message.. "Code Execution has been interrupted".

I'm not sure why I'm getting this message but it happens everytime I run ANY macro. Note that if I hit "Continue" every time it gives me the option, I am able to successfully run the macro, but obviously, I shouldn't have to do this.
