Excel 2003 :: Playing MP3 From Sub Procedure?
Oct 17, 2012
I am running Excel 2003, and have already searched the forum for "MP3" without avail.
Is there a way to play a MP3 file from a Sub Procedure?
J-Walk provides a way to do it with .wav and .mid files here Excel Developer Tip: Playing Sound From Excel using functions from the "winmm.dll" library.
However, .wav files are very large and I have a sizable collection of sounds which I'd like to use. If possible I'd much prefer to use .mp3 than .wav . Is there a way to do this? Preferably without Window's Media Player popping up.

I have a spreadsheet with a database query attached (refreshing every 60 seconds) showing a stock summary by product.
I need the spreadsheet to play a .WAV file when values change. i.e.;
If cell A1 <6, play sound1.wav
If cell A2 <6, play sound1.wav
If cell A3 <6, play sound2.wav
If cell A4 <6, play sound2.wav
This may need to be repeated several times based on certain criteria. I have a total of about 30 cells which I need to be looked at individually (not a sum of) and to play the relevant sound.
I have seen different people try to tackle this in different ways. The ideal way would be creating alarms in VBA and triggering them using a formula, but I cannot get these to work in Excel 2010 or 2013.

Im using excel 2010 As it's 60 times quicker I was trying to speed up my code and replace all loops by putting the value into an array, and then transfer the array to the worksheet
It seems to be straightforward for math calculations like in this example:
[URL]
But no luck with the one below. I was trying to test it on a simple loop which replaces two types of string into the 3rd one:
Code:
Dim lastrow, lastrow2, i As Long
With Worksheets("KPI5")
lastrow2 = .Range("N" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
.Range("T7:T" & lastrow2).Value = .Range("F7:F" & lastrow2).Value
For i = 8 To lastrow2
If .Range("T" & i).Value = "Modification" Then
[code]....

I am trying to set public variables from an event handling procedure based in a worksheet so I can use that variable in a userform. Nothing I have tried works no matter where I declare the variable. I am using a msgbox to display the variable (a range) but it shows as blank regardless of whether I place the variable in a module, this workbook object or in the sheet object where the event code is placed.
I am sure there is a simple way to transfer variables from the sheet's code (where it must remain as the variable depends on the target cell's position that triggers the event).

I have the following sub for me to play sound files:
[Code] .....
Essentially what i want to do is play one sound file, then immediately play another. I am using two subs so that can be achieved as when I was using one sub the first sound didn't play as it was immediately replaced by the second sound.
The lines of code where I call my sounds are:
[Code] .....
I thought the addition of:
[Code] .....
Would allow the first sound to play, before then playing the second sound, however this doesn't seem to be the case and the second sound doesn't play at all.

i have a sheet where there are 2 columns of tick boxes for good/bad input. ive been able to borrow some code that saves the sheet at a date name and based on the fact that if there is one bad tick in the bad column i would like a wav file to play showing this. likewise if there are no bad ticks then a good wav file is played instead. here is my lame code that calls to modules with the actual wav play instrucions in them, named playsound1 and playsound2 :-
Private Sub worksheet_calculate()
If [A22] > 10 Then
MsgBox "Vehicle Log Saved"
Call SaveAsTodaysDate
'End If
'if =sum[d6:d16] > 1 call soundplay1 else call soundplay2
'If Range("d6:d16").Value > 1 Then
'MsgBox "your gonna crash!"
'Call SoundPlay1 Else Call SoundPlay2
End If
End Sub

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to retrive the list of filter criteria in each filter of the filters collection using VBA. I could trawl through the data and retrive a unique list but I think it would take longer than if I could use what is already there.
I intend to use the list in a combo box elsewhere in the workbook......it's all to stop inquisitive little users accidently changing data and whining that thier figures are misteriously wrong.....

I have a formula which lookups the sunset for a particular date.
Code:
sunset = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(tempws.Range("A9"), sun, 2, False
It returns a value in numeric format (eg. .8493055555555556).
I then compare it to a time vale in one of my userform textboxes.
Code:
If rental_end.Value > sunset Then
rental_end.value ="5:00 pm"
I have a suspicion that the tow different formats cannot provide accurate results in the If statement, and causing the result of the If statement to always be true, even when it should be false.
If this is indeed the case, how would one go about adjusting this code to provide proper comparison in the If statement?

I have an automated sort descend happening all day. The top several cells are coloured green and if a cell jumps to the top from below the green cells, I would love a warning sound. Is is possible to activate a sound if a cell changes from a colour to a non colour. Preferably if any of the cells within a range of say F2: F6 changes from green to a non colour.
If it is not possible to have a change of colour to activate the macro, I could get around it by - if any cells in a range of H2:H5 >than 1 it plays a sound.

I'm using this simple code to play a wav file I loaded into a worksheet:
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Object 1").Select
Selection.Verb Verb = xlclose
I attached the macro to a button and it works. Now I need to stop the wave sound playing, by attaching another macro to a button. Is that possible? What syntax shall I use to stop playing the sound?

I have an Excel 2003 file that contains hyperlinks to OneNote notebooks on a Sharepoint site. An Excel macro looks for these links and determines the full hyperlink address which is then assigned to a variable. An Outlook message is generated which includes the hyperlinks.
The hyperlinks work in the Excel file. I can also copy them from OneNote and manually paste them into an Outlook message and they work. However, when I obtain their full address and transfer that to the email through code, the links do not work. The hyperlink address from OneNote starts with "onenote:http" which is not recognized as a link.
If I can do this manually, there must be a way to do this with vba. Are there characters I need to include in the OneNote hyperlink address to make this work? Is there another way to transfer the working link from Excel to Outlook?

In Excel 2003 I have Manually Grouped a number of rows. (Data>Group and Outline>Group).
If I use the buttons with the numbers 1, 2, 3 (indicating an outlining level) to collapse or expand the outline I receive the Error Message: "Cannot shift objects off sheet."
If I use the collapse button (-) or expand (+) button the data collapses and expands as I would expect.
I am aware of the normal issues surrounding objects and outlining and have ensured that I have changed the properties of all my of the objects in the sheet to "Move and size with cells". There are no comments in the grouped rows.

The following formula was, several weeks ago, very graciously offered to me from one of Excel Forum's contributors.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(ROW(E8:E6782),2)=0),E8:E6782)
My request was to find a formula that would add each 6th row starting in row e8 (e8+e14+e20+e26+e32 etc. through e6782) in column "e" when the column was 6782 rows deep from top to bottom. (i am not trying to add every number in column e, just each 6th row, starting at e8 and going through row e6782).
I entered the formula into my spread sheet and, voila, I had a sum that I assumed was accurate for my spread sheet of ticket sales. I began to question the functionality of the formula when I altered the E8:E6782 parameters (which represented the gross ticket sales) to E4:E6778, in an effort to sum up the E4 values e4,e10,e16, e22,e28,etc. . . (which represents the net values after commissions were deducted). The difference in the two sums (e8 values Versus the e4 values) was incorrect and did not represent the appropriate commissions (which should have been 15%).

I have a Log In/Log Out report that I need pulling data from.
Ultimately what I want to do is get the amount of time my employees were logged out.
I am using Excel 2003. Attached is an example of the data I'm working with.
Sheet 1 contains the data, and Sheet 2 will be the summary.
So, looking at Bob's times: If column A contains Bob (A2 in this case), and the same row in column G (G2) contains 79, subtract the contents of the same row in column F (F2) from the next row down in column D (D3) (which would be D3 - F2). That result should populate on Sheet 2 next to Bob's name in h:mm:ss format.
If there is nothing in the next row down in column D, then do nothing.
I would like to leave the data as is, if possible. There are extension numbers next to the names in the data. If possible to ignore those when rolling up to the summary that would be useful. Also, on the summary sheet, if the employee is not on the data sheet (if they had the day off) they can have 0 or NA or something to indicate there is no data for them.

I have used MS Office Excel 2003 for many years without difficulty in XP. Suddenly I find I can't open many of my old documents. I get a message,"Microsoft Office (InfoPath2003) cannot open (the following file, etc.) A second message says, "The form contains XML that is not parsed: An invalid character was found in the content. Line 0, Position 0" Then I get the message "MS Office is not currently set as default." I complete the instructions that follow and it is now corrected but I continue to get the same error messages.

In Excel 2003, I remember being able to tab across a row of cell entering data and when I got to the end, I'd hit enter and it would take me to the beginning of the next row. But in 2007, I can't...is there something I need to do in Excel Options or is this function gone?

I have five columns of data: A & C are time measures; B & D are values associated with each time measure; and E is a matching value column that I want to populate. I am trying to match times and place in col E the Val 2 that matches times 1 and 2. Though many matches lie on the same row, there are many that don't (the real data uses several thousand rows). For example, Val 1 in cell A5 (100) is associated with cell C7 to find a matching value of 4.5 in cell E5. Note, occasionally, there will be replicate values for Val 2 (like cells C9 & C10). I need to match the one further down the list.
