Is it possible have code in an addin that fires when, X happens in any workbook?
For example,
Any time a user tries to print a worksheet a message box pops up asking, "are you sure you want to print that"
I have the following code, which works perfectly:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim TotalDays As Integer
TotalDays = Range("C65536").End(xlUp).Row + 1
The code points to the next blank cell so the user can input a value. Each time the user enters a value I want to re-run the code so that the colour of the cell changes.
However I also want to perform various calculations on the sheet. However this means the sheet is being changed and so continually repeats my code.
How do I add the following, to my previous code?
Range("E8").Value = Cells(7, 6) * 2.5
Is there a way to make a macro fire when you close the VB editor. For example,
I would like one of my pre- recorded macros to start as soon as I close the VB editor.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Me.Range("R1C1")) Is Nothing Then
'do something
End If
End Sub
Now, that Private Sub works fine if you change the value of R1C1 manually or from another macro.
But if R1C1 is the cell linked to a list box, nothing will happen if you change its value by selecting different items in the list box.
I have seen it on here, and I have searched, but cannot find how to start it, saves me writing it twice.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a sheet that on open looks at the username and determines which tabs can be seen by that user. If macro's are not enabled, I want the sheet to just display sheet 4.
here is the code I have on open that works fine: -
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
If Environ("username") = "Bob" Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = True
Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet3").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet4").Visible = False
Else
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet3").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet4").Visible = True
End If
End Sub
I have a Workbook_BeforeClose() function that does not, and I am stuck as to why!
Here it is: -
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose()
If Environ("username") = "Bob" Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet3").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet4").Visible = True
ThisWorkbook.Save
Else
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet3").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet4").Visible = True
End If
End Sub
So basically after "Bob" is done it will save the sheet with only tab 4 visable. This means that if someone without Macros enabled opens the sheet they can only view tab 4 (I know it isn't password protected in this example, but it will be)
I am trying to find out more info regarding the BeforeSave workbook event, need example of a short procedure that would prevent the user from saving the workbook with the current workbook name, and would automatically force the file to save as a web page? I'm sorry that I don't have any examples of code that I'm working with, and it feels pretty juvenile to just ask someone to write code for me. But I haven't been able to get past step one with this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have problem about adding workbook event.
when I go to ThisWorkbook and click the left side dropdown at the top of the code window, I can't see the word "Workbook" appear. What I can see is only (General) and there is no other choices.
Other worksheet and application event work fine.
attached is a screen shot when i try to add a workbook event.
In R1 I sometimes place a cell reference that I want the workbook to immediately go to when it is next opened. I have the following code which does not work as expected (Ignore the necessary .Select parts):
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("MSCI Asia Data").Select
Range("R1").Select
If Not IsEmpty(ActiveCell) Then Application.Goto reference:=Range(Range("R1").Value), scroll:=True
End Sub
Currently R1 contains the value R91 but when the workbook opens, it is not going to the cell R91 in the required worksheet.
Have some code in the workbook open event, which when I run when the workbook is already open works fine, however when triggered when the workbook is actually opened it fails on the first line.
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim lngLastRow As Long
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim ws2 As Worksheet
Dim ws3 As Worksheet
Dim X As Long
Dim Y As Long
'Define Worksheet
Set ws1 = Sheets("Sheet1")
Set ws2 = Sheets("Sheet2")
Set ws3 = Sheets("Sheet3")
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
I have a workbook change event that when fired checks criteria to see that the sheet is complete. If not complete, the user must complete information on the sheet before continuing. The problem is that some of the "stuff" the user must do requires macros that fire and gain access to other sheets. Thus the "trap" I have set to restrict the user to just the one sheet has backfired on me restricting the user to just the one sheet. Is there a way that the workbook change event (or any other workbook event) be temporarily disabled until activated again?
View 2 Replies View Relatedbutton on main workbook opens 2 other workbooks and assigns a workbook object to them. the 2 opened workbooks are Activated in turn, range values changed and macros on these sheets invoked and results captured and pasted back onto the starter workbook. the macro is within a sub in a module as are the ones in the second workbook. An example of the code used is:

Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic

I wish to fire one of 2 different macros, depending on the Target.Text value.
If the Target cell (in a named range) is blank then one macro fires, If the cell has text then another macro fires.
this is what I have
If Target.Column = 7 And Target.Row > 7 And Target.Text <> "" Then ViewPicture Target
Else
If Not Target.Column = 7 And Target.Row > 7 And Target.Text <> "" Then GetPicture Target
End If
I can only get the first if statement to fire, I get an "ELSE IF" compile error on the second "IF"statement.
It is nested in the
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Page
and I would like to get it to work with Named Range's, but not enough understanding yet.
The use of this userform is to find a customer reference number. Im using two combobox's and a textbox.value that are populated from another workbook.
Though the way it is at the moment it opens the workbook and closes the workbook every time a new value is set to one of the combobox's.
I want to open the workbook on the useform initialize and do everthink the useform need from it. And then on the userform terminate close the workbook. Or somehink to this equlivent so this process of finding the customer referance number goes faster.
I have a boolean toggle for disabling and enabling a Workbook_Change event.
Right I invoke macros to turn the Workbook_Change event on and off and I don't know what state it's in.
Two Questions:
1) (required) I would love to be able to visually know if it's enabled no matter which sheet I am on
2) (bonus) Be able to change the state with a persistent interface (e.g. perhaps the Ribbon?) no matter which sheet I am on.
I have a Shared Workbook that 10 or 15 users are in and out of all day. In Column A on a few sheets I have a Before Double Click Event that launches a userform. The macro works for all users except this one person. I have tried several things:
1. I closed the file and Reopened it, to make sure that the user did not disable macros.
2. I checked the file on other users computers to see if the file was working properly (It was.)
3. I went to Options>Trust Center>Trust Center Settings>Macro Settings and Enabled All Macros on this User's system
None of these actions corrected the issue.
The purpose of the BeforeDoubleClick Event is to store Columns A:E data and then let the user add more information through the form. Once the User fills out the UserForm. A:E is transferred to one of a number of sheets depending on criteria in the UserForm. A:E is transferred along with the new information that the user has entered in the UserForm.
Another symptom is that on other computers when the Before Double Click Event is activated the Userform launches and the cursor does not appear in the cell until after the User Clicks a Command Button to Update Data on the Userform. On this individual's computer the cursor does appear in the cell without the Userform launching....
I have a workbook, that when opened the first time needs to prompt the user to save it. I got that working with no issues by using
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
SaveOnOpen
End Sub
where SaveOnOpen is a procedure in another module. What I would like to do now is re-assign the Workbook_Open sub to be set to null, so that it doesn't run any more. Is it possible to somehow assign Workbook_Open to call a null procedure, as opposed to setting up an onTime call to delete the code itself?
why this code does not work when the worksheet is changed between range "B1:F5"?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B1:F5")) Is Nothing Then
With Range("B1:F5")
Cells(Target.Row, 7) = Cells(Target.Row, 6).Value + Cells(Target.Row, 5).Value
End With
End If
End Sub
I have an Excel 2007 workbook with over a dozen user forms and plenty of code that I have mainly obtained from the web and tweaked to suit my needs. I am a novice with VBA, so not really up to writing anything but quite simple code.
My issue is I have some code set to fire on Workbook_Open that will save a versioned copy of the workbook, to the same network folder that the original resides in, with an incrementally increasing file name. the file is stored on a network, but access should not be an issue as I have full access and have no problem saving to this folder, also the event works fine up until I shut down Excel. I have also tried saving to My Documents to avoid the network issue, same result, worked fine as long as Excel is not closed, fails if I do.
It all works fine until I close down excel completely and re-open, where it then fails to work. There are other events happening in the same Workbook_Open sub that still work fine each time, so the sub is firing on open, but this one event fails. I get no error message at all, just no new file copy created.
The workbook is essentially doing the job of an Access database (I know even less about Access), I have a user form as a main menu and various other forms for various data entry and reporting tasks. I am exiting the w/book via a cmd button on the main menu (I've deliberately restricted users control, as many are not very pc literate). I have conducted numerous trials consisting of running the code from the VBA window, closing w/book via cmd button WITHOUT accepting the std save option and re-opening from Explorer window, closing w/book via cmd button WITH accepting the std save option and re-opening via Explorer and all worked perfectly over many sample runs. But when I closed Excel totally (Not just the w/book), created a desktop shortcut and opened from there, that line of code just doesn't seem to do anything, no error or hang or anything. The only way I can get it to function again, is to re-save the w/book (As either a new file with code edited to suit, or overwrite the original), and keep Excel open whilst only closing this w/book. It then functions perfectly again on opening.
I have enclosed below the Workbook_Open sub and some other subs that append to a user log on opening, these work fine all the time. I enclose the others in case they may have some bearing, as they are also fired from the Workbook_Open sub and show no issues at all.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted as I am struggling. As mentioned above, the ONLY part of the Workbook_Open sub that fails is the line "ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs newFileName". I have even added "MsgBox "The new FileName is: " & newFileName" immediately after it, and that displays new filename correctly. It seems to me to be hingeing around the SaveCopyAs event, but I don't want to assume that, being the novice I am.
I am having a problem finding the right javascript function(s) to use in my macros. Use Google homepage as an example. The line
.Navigate "javascript:_dlsetp('ss=2')"
will open the page for customizing your Google page. But what is the function you fire on in the macro to execute the general search? I can send text to the search input box, but I can't find the function that runs the search.
Is there some way to quickly identify the function and the correct syntax without having to learn how all the source code in the web page works? Finding the right URLs, links, and input boxes is fairly straight forward. But not the functions.
I have many worksheets in a workbook that need to be saved if a user changesanything on them.
These sheet names all end in "....SD" and the code needs to only run on those sheets. I have learned alot from the forum but not enough, just yet . . This is what I have so far:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Dim sht As Object
For Each sht In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
If LCase(Right(ws.Name, 2)) = "sd" Then
MsgBox(Prompt:="You must save changes. Save now?", Buttons:=vbYesNo) = vbYes Then ThisWorkbook.Save
End Sub
It doesn't like the 2 "Then's". (Don't laugh - I'm trying.)
I'm trying to combine 2 sets of code that I have searched other threads for.Both use the OnTime code to trigger events after 5 and 10sec.
My problem is that the workbook won't close correctly and keeps re-opening on the refresh event. I understand both events need to be passed to the dTime variable, but I am obviously doing something wrong. I will include the code as I'm sure its something obvious;
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
On Error Resume Next
Application.OnTime dTime, "Sort", , False
If Cancel = False Then Application.OnTime dTime, "RefreshIt", , False
On Error Goto 0
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Run "RefreshIt"
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:10:00"), "Sort"
End Sub
Public dTime As Date
Sub Sort()
dTime = Time + TimeValue("00:00:10")
Application.OnTime dTime, "Sort"
Range("A6:M10").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("I6"), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
Range("B2").Select
End Sub
Sub RefreshIt()
Sheets("Text").Range("A7:F38").QueryTable.Refresh
dTime = Time + TimeValue("00:00:05")
Application.OnTime dTime, "RefreshIt"
End Sub
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
I am attempting to create a friction loss calculator for fire hose, I am using a known formula that calculates the loss based on volume and diameter for pipe. the difference that I have with fire hose in lieu of pipe is that the hose diameter changes with the pressure drop.
I have 3 variables that i input, pressure, beginning diameter and length. however
as the water flows through the line the pressure changes in turn the diameter changes, I would like to set up my spreadsheet so that the initial variables inputed yield the correct diameter, and then reference back to the initial equation and recalculate based on the yeilded diameter, and recalculates,
I can determine the friction loss at 1 foot, in turn determine the diameter at 2 foot, but I wish the spreadsheet to work the calculation over the entire length.
I have a large file, part of which amongst other things calculates life expectancy from a range of q(x) values (proportion of people that die moving from age (x) to (x+1). Life expectancy is calculated using a user-defined function (below).
My problem is that whenever I run a macro that changes the file, even parts of the file that don't affect the cells using the life function, it jumps into the life function. (An example: copying and pasting values on a different sheet). This is a hassle when stepping through other macros using F8, not to mention the time cost.
Some further possibly necessary information: one macro uses the GoalSeek application to set the target cell that contains the life function
By the way, this didn't use to happen in older versions of a similar file. When running the GoalSeek macro to change target life expectancy it did, but not for any other macro.
Here is the function:
Function life(data As Range)
' Aims to calculate Life expectancy from Qx values
' It assumes first value of Q is Qb, then Q0 to Qmax
Dim Nobs As Integer
Dim j As Integer, i As Integer
Dim q() As Double
Dim L() As Double
Dim T As Double, le As Double
Nobs = data.Rows.Count
I have a macro that checks if a username is in a particular list, and if it is, it unhides certain sheets in the workbook.
The code runs fine if I just run it as a macro or off a command button, but I am trying to execute it when the workbook opens and I keep getting a 57121, Application defined or object defined error.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Dim Res1 As VbMsgBoxResult
Dim GovRng As Range
For Each GovRng In Sheets("Map").Range("GovernanceMembers")
If GovRng.Value = Application.UserName Then Goto 111
Next GovRng

very complex spreadsheet for weight & balance calculations. It's to the point where everything works perfectly in Excel 2007, but it must be used primarily with Excel 2003. Discovered that a crashing problem had to do with condtional formatting, that's all been cleared and will soon be fixed, but there's one that I just can't quite figure out.
I'm using the worksheet change event to trigger the update of charts... In this case, it's looking at a particular cell that has data validation on a dropdown as the trigger. Works perfectly in 2007, and if I put a msgbox prompt in to be launched by a change of that cell, it launches. I can put the chart update code in a separate sub and launch it manually every time, but I cannot call it from the worksheet change.
I've included attachments showing what I believe are the relevant bits of code -
Is there a way to have a macro run every time a sheet in a workbook is accessed? Something similar to the workbook open event, but for worksheets.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have three cells where a user will input data, in some cases (2T Weld Condition) they will only enter in B12 and C12, but in the case of a 3T weld they will also enter data in the D12 cell. I then use a formula to check for the thinnest material and that is entered into another cell with a formula, B14. I then need to check the value in B14 to verify if it is above zero, but below 0.65 (mm). If it is then I would like to have a message appear on the screen notifying the user that they are outside the acceptable range.
I cannot figure out how to use the information in cell B14 because it is a formula and my code only works with a direct value. The code I am using works if I point to one of the three input cells, B12, C12 or D12. How do I use the information in B14 to work with the code below.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$B$12" Then
If Target.Value < 0.65 Then
Run "MyMacro"

MyMacro loads a userform with buttons, etc.
Is there a way to write a Worksheet_SelectionChange (ByVal Target As Range) event in module after creating a sheet in VBA? I constantly delete a sheet, then repopulate it with a new one that is empty, but I need to add some code that happens if they should change a particular cell. It worked when I ran it on a worksheet without refreshing, but as soon as I cleared and repopulated the sheet, it was gone. Is there a way to preserve this?
