Dynamic Sheet Level Form Button Text
Jun 19, 2007
I have a form button on a worksheet which calls a specified macro, is it possible to have the text which shows on the button, dynamic? I have created a template excel file, which the user needs to set up as they see fit. I have a separate page which is an 'admin' page where they can customize the narrative in the main template, which includes being able to change the text on form buttons on sheet 1. I have tried with this: Sheets("Approvals").Object("Button 1").Text = Sheets("Admin").Range("e14").value
This unfortuantely results in a "run time error '438' Object doesn't support this property or method". From that i would assume this function is not available, but i'm hoping someone may know a way around it??

I am running excel 2010 with windows 7. I created a macro in sheet 1 and I wish to activate the macro from sheet 2 using a form button. I have entered the code below. I know how to perform this function on a more simple macro like adding names to cells. This code is a bit more complex I just dont know where to start.
Code:
Sub LoanData()
'
' LoanData Macro
[Code].....

I have a spreadsheet that requires grouping at two levels. See pasted image below.
I need a macro that on the first pass dynamically creates groups of different sizes of data based on values of one column. For example, a group is created for the RR's, a group is created for the SS's, and a group is created for TT's.
On the second pass I would like to group the groups based on the values of another column for the 2nd level of grouping. So the A's would be one group and the B's would be the other.
TotalAAToTalRRARRARRARRAToTalSSASSASSASSATotalTTATTATTATTATotalBBTotalUBUBUBTotalVBVBVBVBVBTotalWBWBWBWB
I can have 2 tables set up for the values that I need grouped at each level.
Table 1Table 2Group 1Group 2ARRBSSCTTUVWXY
I had recorded a macro where I manually grouped the data. However, this did not help, because I am creating a template that needs to dynamcally handle the data that comes in.

I have a spreadsheet which I distribute weekly to certain people.
It is basically a top level view of incidents, which shows the following.
Sheet Number 1 is :
Person - Count
Joe Bloggs - 42
Fred Bloggs - 12
And so on.
This shows me a summary of how many incidents per person have been logged.
Sheet Number 2 is the actual raw data for that count, so it shows every line.
So in the above example, there would be 42 lines for Joe and 12 for Fred.
What I'd like is to put a hyperlink on sheet 1, whereby if you click onto Fred's name, it will take you to sheet 2 and autofilter to only show Fred's records (i.e 12 of them)

I have made a userform with some code in it that I would like to be on the spreadsheet itself instead of a user form? How is this done? The problem is getting the below code to work at spreadsheet level since I did not write the code below. I have the button the spreadsheet, but I don't know how to see the name of the button or assign the below command to the button.
I need a macro to copy data from the two combo boxes that appear on the spreadsheet and place the data into cell A for the first combo box and cell B for the second combo box.

I'm trying to pull up a second form from a command button within a form. There's a command button in a sheet to open the first form (frmOrderInput.) Then there's another command button in that form to open the second form (frmPriceInput.)
The Module to open the first is this:

Now that the calculations are working, with the press of a button, I need to be able to select a range of dates and copy all lines within the range to a seperate sheet with the desired name under the same headings they currently reside under. I have included some modified code that is being used in another spreadsheet that was created for me, but I do not pretent to understand all of it and I no longer work with the creator of the spreadsheet. How do I use a button to open the form for date selections and entering the name of the new sheet, and then use the start button on the form to begin the matching and copying to a new sheet? If there is an easier way I am all for that too.

This is probably really straight forward but cant see why it happens, the following macro works fine when called by a button created by the form toolbar but doesnt when called by a command button, get the runtime error 1004, "select method of range class failed"
ActiveSheet.Select
Range("B4:B37").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("G4:G37").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("D1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("F1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("J1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("M2:M3").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B4").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Application.Quit

I would like to create a spreadsheet that when a selected number of cells are set to "yes" then a lookup to a small table should then copy 3 columns of text at the side of that table, if the criteria is met with a "1". If either f2, f3 or F4 = "Yes" then look up A9:c16 and if there is a "1" in respective column then copy all text to the right in columns D, E & F to "result" work sheet. I am trying to create auto copy of selected data without the use of a filter, by pressing a cell / button.

I am imagining a spreadsheet with the equivalent of an info button in each cell of column A. The idea is the user clicks the button to open a User Form containing additional info about the entitity represented by values on that row.
E.g., Row 1 is labels, row 2 is all about Bob, 3 is about Jane, 4 is about Freddy. If the user clicks the info button on row 3 then a user form opens up and displays additonal info about Jane.
I am wondering if there is a way for VB to identify which row the clicked button was on without having to write individual code for each button telling VB which row the button was on.
I am hoping there is some form button property I can reference or interrogate which will give me a cell address; a button.position property or similar. This will obviously save me a lot of coding if VB can dynamically determine which row is being interrogated as there will be a couple of hundred of these to start with, potentially thousands. (I realise Access is a better solution for database interrogation, but I have to work with excel at present).
Ultimately, the user form that the button calls up will have a list box on it and I want the list box to default to the entity on that row, and allow the user to browse the other entities if they want to.
If there isn't a solution for this I will just have a single info button for the users to click that opens the user form and then they can select the entity from a list box. But I would like to offer the "intelligent display" option but don't relish coding the equivalent of several hundred "You clicked button four hundred and seventy six, default to info card for bert".

How can I obtain the sheet-level name through VBA? I'm not referring to the sheet (tab) name but the name as defined though Insert/Define or Insert/Create, etc .
I know the way to get the cell level name goes something like this:
MsgBox Sheet1.Range("A1").Name.Name
But i don't know the correct syntax for sheet level.

There is a 'Home' page with a button for each employee - clicking the button takes the user to the appropriate employee's timesheet
There is also an 'Add New Employee' button on the home page which brings up a form and allows a new employee to be added.
Each employee has only 1 worksheet (Which is created based on a blank template page)
When the 'Add New Employee' button is clicked a form pops up which ask for name, D.O.B etc. The user fills out the form and clicks ok. The template sheet is then copied, renamed to the employees name, and all relevent fields are added to the template sheet (based on the users input). A button is also generated on the home page with the employees name as a caption and when it is clicked it goes to employees timesheet.
I have almost got this working.
The only problem is this only works once, So For Example say i Add 'John' then i add 'Mary' on the home page i now have 2 buttons with 'John' and 'Mary' on them. The problem is as soon as a second employee is added (Mary), the first employees button(John) is linked to the second employee's Sheet rather than its own(Mary). and after the spreadsheet is closed the buttons dont work at all.
The link below has the spreadsheet i have made so far, you can test it out if my description doesnt make sense or you can see the code behind the 'add new employee' form:
############################################################
#### 'Add Employee' Button on Add New Employee Form ####
############################################################
Private Sub cmdadd_Click()
'check for Name
If Trim(Me.EmpName.Value) = "" Then ..............................

In general defining Sheet Level Name Ranges works fine with me, most of the times I use something like shown in the code below.
However, I have discovered that apparently the successfull execution depends on the sheet-name format itself
The code below works perfectly fine with worksheet names like "234", "cas422", etc
but it fails to work with worksheet names like: "C12c", "eh34h4". It seems to me - but I am not sure of being able to generalize this - as if it works when the name contains [numbers][letters] or [letter][numbers], but it fails when it contains a mixture of both like [numbers][letters][numbers] or [letters][numbers][letters] .... in case of a failure of the code, I go into debug mode and simply rename the sheet, then everything's fine again.
Am I the only one to experience such difficulties? (I run Excel 2003 with SP3 on Windows XP) Or would a different code prevent this kind of trouble?
I think, I could write a workround, but before doing so I'd rather like to ask if I am doing something wrong here?
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add name:=wks.name & "!myTime", RefersToR1C1:="=" & wks.name & "!R1C1:R5C8"

I'm missing something in my UserForm initialization code. If I fill the form out once and click 'OK' (run the code to put the form data into a sheet), when I go back into the form all the old info is still there. If I then click 'Cancel' (Unload Me) and reopen the form, the old data is cleared out. What am I missing to make it clear it out the first time?

Im designing a form which will be a few list boxes that input data into specific cells in another sheet.
I would like the list boxes to change depending on selection.
eg: if there is a certain value selected in the first list, then only the relevant values will appear in the second box.
so if there are values Potato, Banana and Apple in list one, and list two contains values White, Yellow and Red.
if banana is clicked in list 1 then only yellow will appear in box 2 as a selection.

I want the user to type data via a form, but the number of the records to be added may vary.For this purpose I want to create a form, which has a "new record" button, which adds a new textbox, checkbox and radio button to the form. I do not really know, how to add these controls on such a way to the form, that the new elements will be well aligned below to the existing ones and the size of the form will also be adapted if it is necessary.

This may be a tough one. Through a button, I am trying to create a popup window displaying an excel chart, viewed always on top, dynamically linked to my spreadsheet data. The idea would be to see it evolve as I input data, and be able to open as many as I want. I guess I could create a macro to paste/clear the graph, but a pop up window would appear more professional and more user friendly.

I have a userform that adds and deletes employees. The add button works but im not sure how to get the delete button to work. I have a defined name of "Employee" that is row "A". What I would like to happen is that when a employee is selected from a userform list and the delete button is pressed the employee is deleted and the form is updated.

I've built a form in VBA which is working great. I now want to call it by creating a button in a worksheet and then assigning the Form macro to it so the user can just click a button. I've tried looking for it in the Assign Macro dialog and it isn't there (even though I've declared it as a public sub) and I can't call it from a normal Module as it says it's an undeclared variable.

I have a macro associated to clicking a form button.
If possible, if a certian cell value is equal to 0, I want to diable this button. I do not wish for theuser to be able to run the macro associated with that button click.
If found something similar, but in my case, I cannot find the equivalent to CommandButton1, if that's even what I'm using.
If Worksheets("SHEET").Range("A1").Value = "" Then
CommandButton1.Enabled = False

how I can connect a button to a form text box for the purpose of making a simple user friendly search box that will work when the sheet is protected.
So someone enters their criteria into the text box (and it is a text box from the form toolbar - not the drawing toobar) and then hits the button "QUICK SEARCH" and it does what the CTRL+F function does in excel.

I have several files with form control buttons that automate functions but, on occasion, they get smaller relative to the worksheet they're in. At some point, they become unuasable unless they're manually resized.

Excel has a built in data entry form window which is opened from the ribbon, how can I create a button which opens this form for a specific table on the worksheet. It should allow the user to create or edit entries in the table. I tried creating a macro to select the data range and open the form, but this returns an error.
