Excel 2010 :: Execute Macro - No Response From Message Box
Mar 21, 2014
Below is some code that I found on the internet some while ago. When Excel opens this code runs which brings up a message box prompting a user to select an option. If no option is selected within 15 seconds then the macro runs, else it depends on the selection entered.
The problem that I am experiencing is that sometimes when the user does not select an option the macro does not execute after the coded 15 seconds. The message box just sticks around until a selection is made.
Most of the time it works just fine... some of the time it doesn't. The problem would appear to have gotten worse since upgrading to Excel 2010.
So, my question is either:
1. Why the code does not execute as expected each time Excel is opened?
2. Is there a better / more robust way of executing the below code without using "shell"?
I would like to add a command to my macro that will do one simple step: Refresh all FDS Codes
FDS I believe is short for FactSet Data Series. FactSet is an add-in for excel we use at work. The FactSet menu button is in my ribbon and when I choose that add-in, there are a number of actions I can execute. One is to refresh all FDS which is to refresh all cells with formulas that pull in data from our FactSet database.
I tried recording this action but VBA does not show any key strokes from those steps so I think I just experienced one of the many shortfalls of recording macros. Is there a way to write the macro to execute this action? I would think since I am using a FactSet add-in, it would be possible but I don't know where to begin.
For example - I have a two macro codes. One is change the Date Format from DD.MM.YYYY to MM/DD/YYYY and another one is Date Format from MM/DD/YYYY to YYYYMMDD.
I want to execute the macro from the customize ribbon through Add in Buttons.

I use 2010 and I will try and I need to complete a relatively simple project that I am working on.
I have a range of cells, "D7:Q30". This range has numerical values that are updated automatically (every cell within the range has a numerical value) from an "old value" to a "new value". The refresh rate is not constant, that is the values may change at any time depending on when a value changes I think it is called "pushed" data. Once a value is updated ("new value"), it stays at that value until one of the updates changes its value (and then it becomes the "old value").
I would like a message box to display the following EACH TIME A CELL CHANGES ITS VALUE when the NEW updated value is LESS THAN the OLD value:
"B51, B52, **5, has a changed value from "old value" to "new value".
The ** above in the message box represents the following: If for example cell F23 changes, ** in the message box should be the value that is in cell F5. If Q10 changes, the ** value in the message box should be Q5. It will always be the value in Row5 but have a different column depending on where the change is detected.
B51 is the text value in B51..same for B52 (text) etc...these values change depending on what spreadsheet I have open, but will always be in those cell positions. But the values within the range D7:Q30 are always numeric.
I attached the sheet that I am trying to get up and running, there is two things I need to do, but cant get it working as I intend to.
Sheet 1 - When the invoice number is fulled in in cell F8 a message box must pop up requesting the hyperlink to the invoice saved on a share folder, but for now on the desktop, when the file is selected it (the hyperlink) must be returned to cell G8, then once the last cell (I8) has been completed, the line 8 must be locked so that it can't be editted again without a default password and a new line must be added below line 8 for processing, I tried recording the macro, but it only works on one line, and on the message box request, I truly am not up to speed yet, this I can't get up and running.
I have four cells c1 thru c4. The SUM of these cells must equal 1. I want to display an error message "sum of cells not equal to 1.0" but only when data has been entered in all four cells.
For instance =SUM(C1:C4, "<>1") should display the error message. Is there a way to write the formula with an IF statement and still use data validation with error message box?
Assumptions: -Will ignore blanks -Error message "Sum of cells are not equal to 1.0" until values in all four cells have been entered, not after a value is entered in a cell. (validate expression after all four cells have values or blank)
Scenarios: c1 = .25, c2 is blank, c3 = .25, c4 = .50 TRUE no error message should displays c1 = .25, c2 = .25, c3 = .25, c4 = .50 TRUE no error message should displays c1 = .25, c2 = .30, c3 = .25, c4 = .50 FALSE error message should display after value is entered in c4 etc
What I don't want is for the error message box to display after .25 is entered in c1 because the user is still in the process of adding values. Can this be done using Data Validation in Excel 2010?
I am trying to send bulk emails from my excel 2010 - however I am getting a POP UP. find the screen shot in the enclosed word document So every time a new mail is sent from excel we need to press the button allow Is there a way where I can turn off this warning.
i have outlook message stored in my desktop. I want a macro to open that outlook message and update or change the subject name and boby of message. is it possible through macro.
I have created a macro in excel 2010 which enable the file to save (extract) data into separate location and name. The vba code for macro is as follows: Question: How can I save this workbook with reference to the value containing in cell B2? (it is named temporary now - as defined in the code)
Recorded macro. The hope is to insert a excel formatted table a set number of times. I have found a loop code that references a Cell A1 and repeats that amount of times. So if A1= 10. There should be 10 tables inserted. However on the second time there is a fault with the table name. I need the name to change each time the loop is run. ie Table1, Table2, Table3 etc up until the loop stops (A1 contents).
I am using excel for windows 2010. The macro that i have so far is below.
Sub LoopTest() Dim n Dim V Range("A1").Select V = ActiveCell.Value
I have turned a Workbook with Macros into an add-in. The macros work perfectly for the intended purpose: copy selected data in a special way and put it into an e-Mail message.
I used the CustomUI Editor to assign a macro to a Ribbon button.
However, when I turn it into an add-in and click the Ribbon button, it doesn't work on my machine or any other machine, with an error that says "Cannot run the macro 'CreateListofInventory'. The macro may not be available in this workbork or all macros may be disabled.
My macros are not disabled, and the add-in doesn't even work in the book where the macros reside.
Is is possible to have a button or a box of some sort that the user of a spreadsheet can click to execute a piece of vba code that I have? If so, can someone tell me how to insert such a button?
I found the following code to execute a macro in all excel files in a folder. Sounds amazing! I have a code to add to it, however I am having issues getting it to work. take a look at it and let me know what (more like, how many things). I am adding this to the Sheet 1 Worksheet.
On my worksheet, i want to execute a macro to calculate and display some informations when the mouse is positioned over certains cells. I look around but did not found how to do it.
I want the information to be displayed above that cell and disapeared when mouse pointer moved away.
How do I have a macro execute anytime a checkbox, or radio button is clicked on a form? I have a macro that needs to run, but I don't want to put it in the code for every checkbox because it will complicate any changes or additions to the form.
How would I add a YesNo MsgBox to my existing macro that I have set up through a commancd button? I would like the user prompt to ask the following ? ---> "Would you like to move the data sheet forward 1 week?". Then if "Yes" is selected, run the following macro. If "No", end the subroutine.
I need to create a macro that will allow me to save a PDF from an XL file I am creating by running a report out of Access. This report yields a workbook with 2 sheets in it. The first tab (sheet) called "Mishkon" and the second called "Women's League". I need to save these reports separately as PDFs and they need to be saved in seperate locations. The first sheet (Mishkon) needs to be saved here: \OSOFSDataDayHabMishkon . The second sheet needs to be saved here: \OSOFSDataDayHabWomen's League . Here is the twist... Both sheets need to take their name from their G3 cells. I have Excel 2010 and dont want to print from my Adobe PDF printer. I would like to save as a PDF so I can run it off of computers that dont have the Adobe PDF printer installed.
creating macro dynamiccally on keypress and execute it
i have 3 excel sheet sheet1, sheet2, MasterSheet
MasterSheet conatins the following
COLUMN A COLUMN B COLUMN C
Colorcode FLAG SKEYS
RGB(121,223,214) A Ctrl+a
RGB(125,228,114) B Ctrl+b
[code]....
I have 3 columns column 1 contains colorcode in RGB format column 2 Contains FLAG and column 3 contains SHORTCUT KEYS
i have a macro in sheet1 & sheet2 for coloring the backgrouf color of the selected rows in sheet1 or sheet2
Code: Sub Macro_color() With Selection.Interior .Pattern = xlSolid .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic .Color = RGB(234, 241, 221) .PatternTintAndShade = 0 End With
what i need is when th user presses say Ctrl+c , RGB(233,129,220) from the MasterSheet needs to be copied in the macro as .Color = RGB(233,129,220) instead of RGB(234, 241, 221) and the selected row in sheet1 shld be colored. how can it be done
Is it possible to create 1 macro which will execute multiple macros on different sheets?
I have approx. 12 macros that I can run in order, and I would like to create 1 button on the first sheet of the workbook to execute all 12 macros, which are contained on various other sheets. Is this possible?
When I attempted to do this, the master macro ran an odd function on my first sheet.
