Does OFFSET Cause A Worksheet Change On Workbook Open
Apr 27, 2006
I have a formula that uses the OFFSET function so that subsequent row adds will automatically adjust the formulas. For example, cell A1 contains the value 1 and cell A2 contains the formula:
=offset(A2,-1,0) + 1
When I insert a row above row 2, the formula above adjusts to reference cell A3, which is what I want.
What I am running into is that when the workbook is opened, something in the workbook changes, causing the "Do you want to save the changes..." popup to appear even though all I do is immediately close the workbook.
I have traced the problem to my use of the OFFSET function, as when I change the formula to
=A2-1
and repeat the scenario, the workbook closes without the "save" popup.
Does the OFFSET function cause something to change (no cell values appear to have changed) and is there a way to get around this?

I have a macro that's looping through a bunch of data, matching certain entries using the offset function. The problem is the entries that I'm trying to match are from two different workbooks. This is what I've tried, but it obviously doesn't work:
If Worksheets("sheet1").Range("C26").Offset(i, 0) = _
Workbooks("workbook1.xlsm").Worksheets("sheet2").Range("D13").Offset(0, i)_ Then
some code
end if
The cells I'm matching can contain values or strings

is it possible to write vb code to open the workbook, scroll through everysheet? extract the values from each worksheet?
let's just say, I only know the workbook name, but not the sheets of the name inside. So the vb code could scroll through every worksheet without knowing the worksheet name, only the workbook name(workbook.xls)

I need to know weather it is possible to change the "Password protected workbook" box upon file open with a custom user form. I know you can because you can change and disable the "Save As" box etc. I dont mind using the code with a certificate to open the workbook but id prefer not to...

I'm trying to avoid using macros in my workbook, however, I'm unable to get my worksheets to change name (based on a named range) without use of them, as follows.
I've written the macro:
Sub MyMacro()
ActiveSheet.Name = Range("MyRange")
End Sub
and then dropped the following into the worksheet
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Run "MyMacro"
End Sub
This works fine, but I'm trying to avoid using macros. When I try to place the following script in the worksheet private code, nothing happens:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
ActiveSheet.Name = Range("MyRange")
End Sub

How can I make excel go to full screen (Alt-W-E) as soon as a workbook is opened and then revert back to normal view when it is closed? I already have this code in my workbook_open event just in case that will affect the answer:
HTML Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
If Not LockSheet(ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet) Then Exit Sub

I know of
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
but I would like to expand this idea to detect any change in cell selection across all open workbooks.

I have a macro that 'opens all' workbooks in the specified folder. I've copied it over, but need to only open all the wbk's if a specified worksheet exists w/in the wbk..I know there is a dim ws statement that can be used, but how do i use it w/ the current macro?
Option Explicit
Sub recTestOpenAll()
Dim x As Integer
Dim WB As String
Dim wbk As Workbook
For x = 1 To 100
WB = "G:Rule Test FilesREC " & x & ".xls"
On Error Resume Next
Set wbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=WB)
On Error Goto 0
If Not wbk Is Nothing Then
End If
Next
End Sub

1. I receive a weekly report 'Over Due Orders_1_14_08.xls' for example. This is sent every Monday and there is a Worksheet on this report called Raw Data.
2. I want to copy Raw Data from that Workbook but the name of the report changes w/ every Monday's date.
Any way of doing this - like just looking for "over due orders" in the Workbook name?

I have Excel 2002. If I start the program it opens with a blank workbook, called "Book 1".
If I then open an existing workbook, I have two Excel buttons in the Windows taskbar: the one I just opened, and the blank one titled Book 1.
At work I have Excel 2003. The blank "Book 1" is also there when I start the program, but if I then open an existing workbook, the Book 1 goes away. I like this way better.
My question is: Is this just the way versions 2002 vs. 2003 work, or can I change a setting somewhere to make Excel 2002 close its default blank workbook when I open an existing one?

I have created a spreadsheet some time ago and have been asked to improve on it but I'm rusty with VBA.
I have an automated ordering system that saves each sent order as the date e.g "05-04-2013.xls" but the management team want a graph with the data for the last 4 weeks compared. I have created a seperate workbook called "consumables report.xls" which has a column with the products listed followed by columns "Quantity" and "cost" which is repeated for the 4 weeks of the month.
I want to add a button to prompt the user to choose the saved order e.g "05-04-2013.xls" (all orders saved in same directory) to copy and paste the quantity and cost columns (c8,D69) into "consumables report.xls". I got this to work earlier but it would only paste the formulas and not the values. So I need
A prompt to open workbook
Copy range (c8,d69)
Close work sheet
Paste special .value (c8,D69)
I dont care if it has to open the workbook to copy the data as this will only be used once a month so it dosnt matter how slow the code is.
week 1 week 2 week 3 week 4
Product
quantity
cost
quantity
cost
cost
quantity
cost
1
2
3
4
5
6
7

I've got my macro working on a workbook called 05-14 Clearing TB-orig. From there, it saves as 2 new workbooks called 05-14 Clearing TB-aging and 05-14 Clearing TB-rec. But the new worksheets all keep the name 05-14 Clearing TB-orig. Can I have the macro change the name of each of sheet in the newly created workbooks so that they are the same as the new workbook names? [URL] .....

I have a presentation that I open from a short-cut. After the "Welcome Page" is opened, I want to open a second workbook in a new instance of Excel after 4 seconds.
I think that I can open the new instance of excel, but I don't know how to activate the macro after 4 seconds.
I'm sure there is a function someplace for this that can be used in a macro.
Then, after the second Workbook is opened, I want the Welcome Page "Workbook" closed, leaving the second Worbook open.

I'm looking for a formula that will take the cells used as a heading and place them cell into columns with the corresponding rows under the heading.
I'm thinking that the formula will have an offset that counts the blank cells in column A then place the text from the heading cells (by heading cells I mean the ones that say "Type A" and "Code X") next to the rows with the products.
Maybe a VBA script? What do you think?

I did a macro on my mac to transfer a sheet from one workbook to another worbook. It works very well when the destination workbook is open. Therefore I wanted to add some piece of code to check if the destination workbook is open. If not then I wanted the macro to open it before tranfering the sheet. Here is the code I´m using for tranfering the sheet
Sub Transfer_Sluttet()
If ActiveSheet.Index <> Sheets.Count Then
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set ws = ActiveSheet
Sheets(ws.Index + 1).Delete
ws.Move Before:=Workbooks("Sluttet.xls").Sheets("sheet2")
'Moves active sheet to beginning of named workbook.
'Replace Test.xls with the full name of the target workbook you want.
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End If
End Sub
This is the type of macro I useually use on my pc to check if a workbook is open and if not then open it
If IsWorkbookOpened("Filename.xls", "C:Documents and ..................

I am aware of the ColorIndex, but more specifically I need to change the fill color of a cell that is 9 columns to the right of the active cell. I can't find out how to make this work. to clarify:
ActiveCell + 9 columns.Interior.ColorIndex = Yellow
There has got to be an easy way to do this.

I have data that daily needs to be refreshed and printed to pdf.
I figure the simplest way to do this would be to task schedule the workbook to open daily. Then on open it will refresh the data, print it after all data has been refreshed and close the workbook.
I set it up originally without the need to print so I have all the queries set to refresh when opening the file, however when I now try and put the code to print to pdf on the workbook open event it runs before the queries are finished running. (Query notes: queries were created through Microsoft query, and are accessing a MySQL database queries set to refresh when opening the file queries set to enable background refresh).

ive managed to come up with this formula: = OFFSET( 'G:gailMVTR2007[B052,B261A.xls]B261A45'!$B$5,COLUMN()-3,0,1,1)
which pretty much does the same job as a paste special/translate, this works fine when both files are open and updates all the values that i could ever enter, however, when i open only the file containing the link and press "update" it returns a "#value!" error, i dont understand because it works fine when the other sheet is opened and there are no values other than a single number used.

but get a permission denied error message.
I don't want to use .SaveAs as it is a huge file that takes a while to save and SaveAs has a tendency to break links that should not be broken..
