Don't Overwrite Existing Cells On PivotTable Refresh
Jun 28, 2008
When I use a macro to refresh all pivot tables, I get a whole bunch of messages popping up, asking me if I want to overwrite the existing cells. Is there a way that I can say no to all of these messages automatically?
I was trying to use Sheet1 (data input sheet) to collect 33 values and write them to Sheet2 as a row. I wanted the user to be able to make changes/corrections. So if the set of data with same date and shift number is entered for a second time, my macro should be able to over-write the existing row in Sheet2. Have been digging for days yet with no avail.
I am trying to run a macro inside a Worksheet_Change event.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel. Range) If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("Mon_Data")) Is Nothing Then If Target.Value > 0 Then Sub Refresh_PivotTables() ' ' Refresh_PivotTables Macro ' Macro recorded 10/1/2008 by JackChappers '
as you can see, i put the macro within the worksheet_Change event so that, when data is changed on another sheet (target.Value >0), the Macro is run (the macro, by the way, refreshes some Pivot Tables).
The refresh Refresh_PivotTables Macro works on it's own, but when i use it like this, i get the message:
"Compile error:
Ambiguous name detected: Worksheet_Change"
If it makes any difference, i also have another Worksheet_Change event above performing another action. I think that may be the problem, if it is, how do i run them both without the error?
I have an Excel sheet that I convert to PDF --here is Example of the name after PDF creates"Morning Report_08.16.14" , When it runs it just overwrites the file automatically if one was already on that date - I would like it to prompt to overwrite & if they choose 'yes' to overwrite the file and if not they can change the name If the new one is in addition to the one that already exists and I want it to save the new file with in the same folder.
Also when the current code is run if the PDF was left opened it stops the macro - Is it possible to see if that file is open and if so close it down so the code will work or is it possible to overwrite the file when open.
I have about 10 pivot tables that only have one Pivot Field Item Selected (i.e., Jane Smith) with dates as column fields and a sum for data items. Everytime I refresh the pivot tables and there is a new person in the data tab (which is the data the pivot table is referenced to), the new name populates in the pivot table. I am sure I could include all of the names in one pivot table, but there is a long explanation why I only keep one name per pivot table in this particular workbook.
Attached is an example. As you can see, when you refresh the pivot table, the new name (Jason Smith) which I added to the data tab, will be included in the pivot table.
I am trying to figure out if there is way either with VBA or without VBA to prevent all of the pivot tables in the workbook to not select any new Pivot Field Items when I refresh the pivot tables.
I'm trying to change the source data of an existing PivotTable so that it is linked to a raw data source in another workbook. The workbook it pulls the data from changes every month so I made this flexible code that is meant to pull the raw data every month:
Sub ImportNewSource() Dim Filt As String Dim FilterIndex As Integer Dim Title As String Dim FilePath As Variant Dim ThisPivot As PivotTable Dim FileName As String Dim ShtNum As Integer Dim LastRow As Long
The PivotTable field name is not valid. To create a PivotTable report, you must use data that is organized as a list with labeled columns. If you are changing the name of a PivotTable field, you must type a new name for the field.
When I do it manually, it works just fine. There aren't any changes to the PivotTable field or anything like that so I'm stumped. I've tested the range that has the source data and its selecting the proper range and when I do it manually it works fine.
The code I'm using that results in the following error message: "Run-Time Error '1004':
The pivotTable field name is not valid. To create a pivottable report, you must use data that is organized as a list with labeled columns. If you are changing the name of a pivottable field, you must type a new name for the field." Here's the code, I've seperated it into each sub hoping that will make it easier to read:
Option Explicit
Sub main_prog() Call td_metrics_import Call pt_td_metrics("Pivot_Page1", "PivotTable1", "PivotTable2") Call pt_td_metrics("Pivot_Page2", "PivotTable3", "PivotTable4") Call create_graph End Sub...............
i have searched this and can't find exactly what i'm looking for. I am hoping some one can alter a piece of script i am using. See script below. Currently it adds a comment in a text box to a new row and i would like it to add it to the end ( cell 15) of the last row used, not a new row. I am a newbie to VBA and am self teaching so the obvious is not really obvious.
Private Sub cmdErrorButton_Click() Dim iRow As Long Dim ws As Worksheet Set ws = Worksheets("Log Book Data")
'find first empty row in database iRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1) _ .End(x1up).Offset(1, 0).Row
'copy the data to the database ws.Cells(iRow, 15).Value = Me.txtError.Value ws.Cells(iRow, 14).Value = Now()
I have a query with ODBC connection to a SQL database. This query's parameter is linked to a cell. The resultant data is the source for a pivot table. I want to refresh the pivot table, when the query is run. I've tried using the cell that triggers the query....but the problem is that the query takes about 10 seconds to run. By the time the query returns new data....the pivot has already refreshed. I need it to refresh AFTER the query is complete.
I tried adding a cell that sums up the data from the query...thinking when THAT changes (due to updated data), to trigger the pivot refresh. Problem is that I don't know the trigger for when the sum cell changes (ie....formula change, not typed in.)
i have an excel spreadsheet with 27 or so workeets. it contains sales figures in it. I want to be able to link mutiple cells of this workbook to another workbook so that it retreives that data, So that when I hit the refresh (!) button it will automatically put the data in. I will recieve new sales figures (new files) on a monthly basis so i want it to be able to update the figures to the new figures.
I've recently got into using excel for more complicated work but still have a less than basic knowledge as I'm attempting to teach myself through trial and error. What I'm currently working on is a simple macro that downloads data from a website (which I've done) but ideally I'd like to have this macro recreate the data roughly every 30 seconds/minute and also have this data recorded next to the existing data rather than on top of it. I realise that you can import data from the web using the standard tools and can set it to reset every 60 seconds but I don't think you can get it to reload the data next to it which is why I was considering a macro.
writing a macro that will refresh all the active cells in my "Master" worksheet.
Every month, I append data from one Excel worksheet to the end of my Master worksheet. I want all the cells in the Master worksheet to be formatted as text. However when I copy the cells, I get different formats, i.e. text, general, number, etc. Simply selecting the new data and applying the text format from the Format Cells popup, does not work. I know I need to "re-enter" all the data for the new format to take effect but I really don't want to F2-> Enter thousands of cells.
how to write a macro that will refresh all active cells in a worksheet?
I've been given some data and the date column is formatted as 'general'. If I amend it to the date format I prefer and click ok nothing changes. If I then click in the cell and press enter it changes the format to what I want. Is there anyway of refreshing all the cells so the format change takes effect?
I can achieve what i'm after by using find and replace to change '2012' to '2012' and '2013' to '2013' but i'd be interested to know whether there is a more recognised solution?
I have a rather extensive, for me that is, excel report of daily stats with rows for daily, weekly totals, monthly totals. All have various formulas along the way for various needs - some are simple sums, some are averages, some are percentages.
I need to make some new reports for various purposes that pull the existing information/calculations over into another sheet(s).
For instance - I want to do a report for *just* the week totals so I can do more analyzinig, but I don't know how to pull the already calculated info over so if it ever changes (as it sometimes does) - then my whole dataset reflects the change.
I am using excel 2007 and when I change cells my formulas do not automatically refresh. I have set it to automatic and the calculations will not refresh. How I can force a calculation. I did the control alt f9 and nothing seems to work. Any macro that can force all calculations.
Suppose I have done a spreadsheet of,say 100 entries in alphabetical order in a column and I discover that I have missed 6. Is it possible to move the existing part from where I missed below this to make room for more entries without losing any of the entries?
I want to add (same) text to the end of a whole bunch of cells. What would be the formula or function in Excel 2007 for this? I want to add ":59" to the end of each of these:
need to add same data to every other existing cell in the column, but not replace the data already in it, but to add to it. I've tried to google the answer and look here, but I probably use bad search terms.
For example, I need to add "QW" after each of these lines:
data1432 data9292 data3933 data3939
so it would look like this:
data1432QW data9292QW data3933QW data3939QW
I have a few thousand rows of data, so wouldn't rather not do it manually cell by cell by typing :-)
I am creating a large vlookup. I have multiple instances of a name, twenty to be exact. I copy the first cell it is name1 and then I paste it for the next 19 cells below. Is there a quick way that I could have it go name2 name3 name4 etc all the way to 20? Currently I am just having to click and change the value manually.
i have a list of about 20,000 phone numbers that I need to edit.
all start 01 123456 01 123457 01 123458 etc
I am trying to create a macro that will change them to
+001123456 +001123457 +001123458 Etc
However, no matter what I try it always comes out as
+001123456 +001123456 +001123456
F2 Copy and paste is going to take me forever, and I am sure that there must be a quicker way to do this.
this is my first time creating macros so am completly lost. I want to keep the text that is in the cell that I am editing, just add the country code and delete the space.
I am trying to create a macro which copies the data of one column every time I click on it. However, every time I click on it I overwrite the data I already copied. What do I have to do, that instead of overwriting my data it copies it to the next free column.
if i run my macro that saves a sheet as a certain name and then prints it, it works, but if i run my macro and the file already exists it asks me to overwrite it. If i select yes it prints it and carrys on with the rest of the macro, (good). If i select no the macro fails. How can i get it so if i hit no, it runs the rest of the macro after the print command?
I am trying to set up a macro in excel that will include a save as. This should overwrite an old file. The problem is that I can't get the macro to overwrite. Instead the popup "Do you want to overwrite?" appears and I have to click "OK" manually. Can this be done automaticaly? What is the VB code for it?
in cell A1 i have the balance. i would like to record the balance every time it reaches a new high in cell B1. how would this be possible please using excel 2007
