I have a macro-enabled template file in Excel 2007. I would like the user to be unable to save in any format other than macro-enabled. They should be free to choose a path and filename, but not the file type.
I presume this means some VBA code in the before save event, but I don't know what.
I have a macro enabled file with some functions. Now I want to create a fillable pdf file from this file.
I am able to create a pdf file from Excel 2007, but not able to make a fillable one

As I am looping through files in a folder, I would like to determine if the file is a text file.
The problem is that all extensions are variable in a pattern such as .078, .051, etc.
In this instance, the extensions are numeric, but I'm trying to figure out a way to handle that is all encompassing to include *.txt, *.tsv, *.csv, *.prn, etc......
How can I handle these efficiently?
I'm trying to save an Excel file to be opened on Excel 2003, but with some VBA formulas. What is the compatible format? 2003 doesn't open in .xlsm format.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using the macro below to save a file. It works with the extension .xlsx but not xlsm. I get a message that I can't use this extension for this file type. I am missing something fundamental.

Sub testsave()'
Dim a As String
Dim b As String

c = b & ".xlsm"

d = a & "" & c

FYI - there are no macros in the file I am trying to save.
Excel 2010, Win 7. I have attached a .xlsm file to an email. The contained macros run perfectly, and one of them is "public" so it shows up in "Developer - Macros", and "Customize Quick Access Toolbar" lists.
If the recipient clicks and drags the attachment to a folder, or copy/pastes the attachment, it works fine. (Macros are enabled, etc.)
However, if the recipient right clicks on the email attachment, and selects "SAVE AS" from the item list, the file saves, has the right name and extension, looks ok (the icon has the exclamation point, etc), and it is the correct size, but it simply will not load. You can double click, do a file open, etc. but it will not load. It's a hidden workbook, but if you "open it" and Alt-F11 to show the VBA editor, it isn't there!
It's not stopping the project - we simply tell them to click/drag, etc. but I totally do NOT understand why that happens.
I'm on excel 2010 and I have a small group excel files I open everyday. Most of the files are static in name and location. I've got a macro created to open those files, which works fine with workbooks.open and the file path.
There are two report files I want to incorporate into my macro of workbooks to open. The files are created weekly and the files names have the following format: "Report Name (YYYY-MM-DD).xlsm". I don't want to use the file's last modified date because older files may get edited after the more recent ones are created. The files are also not always created on the same day, so the solution needs to be flexible enough to not refer to a specific day of the week or anything.
Macro open an excel file based on the latest date found in filename.
There are two excel files abc.xlsm and xyz.xlsm enclosed. download these two excel files to your desktop. Then open abc.xlsm and run following code.
[Code]....
After running code above you will see that you have a new file in your desktop named xyz.rar. Everyhing is okey until now.
Now, delete abc.xlsm, xyz.xlsm, xyz.rar from your desktop. Then download enclosed file named klm.xlsm to your desktop. Then open klm.xlsm and run following code.
[Code] ....
After running code above why there is no klm.rar file in your desktop? Is it not possible to create a zip file running code includes same workbook? I mean why I cant zip excel file, from same excel file?
Attached Files :
klm.xlsm
xyz.xlsm
abc.xlsm

is it possible to change the settings on your computer so that when you open Excel, it opens it as a certain type of file? I like working with .xlsb because I work with large sets of data all of the time and find that they open faster and are faster to work with. Currently every time I open Excel, it opens as .xlsx.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to open about 2000 documents one at a time, and save them with a different name.
they are a mix of word documents, PDFs and .jpg pictures.
some VBA like:

I made the excel file with the VBA source code, saved it, opened it many times, and all at sudden I cannot open it anymore. When I try to open the file I get the following screen:
actually, Excel asks me if I want to enable macros or not, but this window is different than usual window:
when opened file with macros works fine.
So, in my case I click the Enable Macros button of the first picture and my file seems to open in some hidden instance, because the file name isn't writen in the title of the Excel window.
When I close the Excel window it asks me if I want to save changes to my file, and that proves that it was opened in some hidden instance of the Excel.
I have to say that I was not playing with the security options of hiding any part of the file that I want to open, and which doesn't open properly.
I'm creating a template xlsm file that has built in marcos. This file will be used by the Engineer as a template, where they fill in the data, and then send it to the team. when the case in finished, they will use clear data macro.
The Problem I want the template to have a macro runs with startup of the file that checks for the lastest template in a network folder (shared folder where they will have read only access). If the used file is the latest one, OK. If not, give a custom msg with the location on the network.
I have an excel 2007 file which contain a lot of macros. File size is 100MB. This file is not developed by myself, it's post in the webpage and let the members of the page to download on daily basis.. I've been downloading and using this file for over a year with no problem until this week.
Problem: During opening the file. There is a message box popped up, saying "Excel found unreadable content in filename.xlsm'. do you want to recover the contents of this workbook ? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes." When I click "yes", excel is trying to repair the file. Once it's done, I could see only the contents, however, all the macros are gone. When I copied this very same file and open in other notebooks, everything is working fine...
Assumption: Couple days ago, I was writing/testing macros in other workbooks and also opened this particular file. I might did something stupid which cause this problem...
During the same time, I used to have the same problem with another file. I solved it by copy and open with another PC then copy macros and paste it to the file on my notebook.
VBA coding for automatically saving an excel file as another file using the current date as part of the file name together with "32ga" as a constant add-in. I also what this macro to run at a particular time of the day let say 00:20hrs. The excel file i want to save as is always open . It has data that changes every 24-hrs.

I have several sheets I use for MI and most have similar amounts of data in, ie, a tab for each month with out 15-20 columns and upto 10,000 rows, then a couple of summary sheets with filtering and calculations in.
One of my sheets is currently 16Mb, when the others are about a third of that, with similar amounts of data.
Is there a way to find what is causing the extra space to be taken in this sheet?
Or does this seem about right for the amount of data?

The cells with the hyperlinks have a formula to hidden cells [i.e. =HYPERLINK(C17,B17)] - in column B is the name of the hyperlink and in column C looks to be the file trial to the PDF (please see attached picture).

I have files that have thousands of rows in them with company names. The rows contain the company name plus lots of other info. I'd like to be able to create files or sheets with the company name as the file or sheet name with the respective rows contained within it. Make sense?
For example:
Original file or sheet
Date Company Info1 Info2
Jul Sams Expense Desk
Jan Freds Expense Doughnuts
Jun Sams Deposit Return
Feb Sams Expense Food
Dec Freds Expense TV
Would become:
Sheet or File Sams
Date Company Info1 Info2
Jul Sams Expense Desk
Jun Sams Deposit Return
Feb Sams Expense Food
Sheet or File Freds
Date Company Info1 Info2
Jan Freds Expense Doughnuts
Dec Freds Expense TV
I'm having some trouble with a spreadsheet copy.
I have a spreadsheet listed out with 2-3 pieces of data per row like:
Mark - abc
John - def
John - ghi
Abby - xyz
etc.
What I need to do is create a new file for each unique string in column A. So for my brief example above, the "Mark" file would have 1 row, the "John" file would have 2 rows, etc. I also need to save the new file by the name in the first column (so "mark.xls"). (Conveniently, the table is sorted by the first column already.)
What I did was create a new worksheet for each row and then save that as my file. However I'm having problems getting my file to contain more than one row (I can get either the first or last row, but not all of them). I have about 30 spreadsheets to do this for, and each will create 80+ files... I'd really rather not do them by hand.
I'm on Excel 2007 if that matters.
I cobbled together some code I found in various places and this is what I have so far:
Code:
Sub CreateWorkbooks()
Dim newSheet As Worksheet, regionSheet As Worksheet, CurSheet As Worksheet
Dim cell As Object
Dim regionRange As String
Dim lngRows As Long
Dim CurRow As Long
[Code]...
(note that the comments are what it is supposed to be doing, not necessarily what it is doing)
I have an Excel worksheet (2007 version) which I am trying to save as a PDF file. However, the PDF option is not listed in my "Save as type" drop down window.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an excel add-in which is a ribbon which houses a great deal of financial tools that I use on a regular basis so I don't have to hunt around excel for things I use regularly. The add-in has always loaded automatically whenever I opened excel - whether I opened excel by creating a new blank document or by double clicking a previously existing file.
Starting a few days ago though, the add-in only opens when opening excel by creating a new blank file. I can't think of anything that changed recently. Using Excel 2007.
Even when opening a file by double clicking, Excel still says the add-in is active (in excel options).

I have an XLS file that gets data from an imported XML file. I need to apply some filters and then export it in a new XML file. I'm trying both "Development->Export" and "Save as->XML Data" procedures, but it always saves all data in the XLS document, not only the filtered. How can I obtain a new XML file with only filtered data???

Every time I start up excel whether it's opening a new spreadsheet or an existing one it tries to open one that I had deleted a while ago. I have nothing in my xlstartup files and I have thoroughly searched all files around it, before it, after it, and all in between. I went to Excel Options>Advanced>General and there is nothing in the field where it says "At startup open all files in:"
It seems to be trying to open the file from my desktop.
