I'm keen to add a field to a spreadsheet that populates a cell with the username of the last person who edited the file, as in the system or logon name, e.g. first.lastname syntax.
I would however like to keep this sheet as an .xlsx and not have it as an .xlsm. I have the code to use VBA, but is there way to grab the username without VBA to keep the .xlsx format?
I'm using Excel 2010.
Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" _
(ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
Public Function UserName() As String
Dim Buffer As String * 100
Dim BuffLen As Long
On Error GoTo UNerr
[Code] ......
I found the code online and attempted to call the user name using =username() on the specified cell, but I receive the #NAME? error. I looked around and found several references to check the VB refence box for anything missing and I did not find anything incorrect.
To note, I am attempting this at my job's PC which will be used on other employees PC's as well.
Using Excel2010 in Windows7. I have a UserForm
1: TextBox for Input Username (txtUsernameIn)
2: TextBox for Input Password (txtPasswordIn)
3) Submit Button (cmdSubmit1)
I have a Worksheet
ColA: Username
ColB: Password
And this entire Range A:B, I have named "UserRegister"
I have code, attached to the cmdSubmit1 button on my UserForm. The purpose is to allow access to a veryhidden Worksheet "ADMIN".
The code 'works' if I enter in both the correct UserName and Password (ie: the code completes & Admin sheet opens up).
The code 'works' if I enter in the correct UserName and the wrong password (ie: code completes it's run, my msg pops up to say there is wrong input, unloads the form & sheet ADMIN stays veryhidden).
However, if I enter the wrong username (with either right or wrong password) the code breaks and I get a debug error. I know my code is obviously wrong/missing something etc - but I can't work it out! The line of code highlighted on the break, is between the *** below
VB:
Private Sub cmdSubmit1_Click()
Dim Username As String
Username = txtUserNameIn.Text
Dim password As String
password = txtPasswordIn.Text

I have a master data sheet with four columns, A, B, C and D
Column A has the primary data and B,C,D has dependent data values;
So when I insert a new cell in Column A with cells Shift Down, I want mandatorily new cells to be inserted in the same row in col B, C and D as well so that data integrity is maintained;
I'm trying to use the code listed below on the works shared drive. When I open up the worksheet and save it, my log on identity is left as required in Cell B2 etc.. When someone else uses the sheet it just leaves the company name in this cell and not their log on identity? The date & time function always works ok. Can anyone advise me if what I'm after is achievable.
The code I've used below was used from a previous string on a similar question.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Value = Now()
Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(0, 1).Value = Application.UserName
End Sub[/b]
I put the "Insert new equation" button on my "Quick Access Toolbar" but it is grayed-out, as in, unavailable. The weird thing is, I also have a "Insert Equation" button on the same toolbar, clicking that opens a small menu of ready stored equations and at the bottom there is another "Insert new equation" button, that is also grayed out. However simply clicking the "Insert Equation" icon puts allows me to insert a new equation, as it should be. The same is true for the "Insert Equation" button in the "Insert" tab.
I am working on a new excel file, i.e. it is a .xlsx file with only one sheet. It worked for me before but I did a windows reinstall and now it doesn't.
Also while on that subject in Word 2010 you can put a "Insert Symbol" button on the "Quick Access Toolbar" which, when clicked, opens a small menu of recently used symbols, while its Excel counterpart directly opens the entire Symbol catalog. Any way to put a button on the Excel "Quick Access Toolbar" that behaves like its Word 2010 sibling?
I've recently purchased an add-in for Excel 2010 called Image Assistant. It allows you to insert loads of images at once and automatically puts them in the cells for you, which is what I need to create quotes for my business. It was painstaking to go through resizing each picture individually so I thought I'd give this a go...
The demo of the program worked fine, except it restricted you to one picture at a time and I have thousands to go through. It resized the picture great and put it in the cell as I expected.
So I purchased the full product. There didn't seem to be an option to just put a license key into the demo version to make it full, and I was sent a link to download the full version, so I did.
When in Excel, I click the icon in the add-ins window and Excel grinds to a halt. It stops responding instantly and then won't do anything until I force close it, at which point it pops up with "Automation Error" and then closes the program.
I've checked DEP settings, trust center settings, add-in settings. I've tried 'repairing' Microsoft Office in case it was an issue with Excel itself but that didn't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the add-in several times and it still freezes every time I open it.

I'm using a macro to insert a photo in to a Excel 2010 workbook. If the photo moves location it will no longer display the photo in the document as I belive the photo is being referenced instead of embedded.
If you then use the "Change Picture" icon the photo embeds but how do I get my macro to embed the photo.

I have an Excel spreadsheet that where the headings start in row 5. Data starts in row 6.
The spreadsheet is updated frequently. The headings are always the same but the number of lines of data changes.
D5 = Units1 (field contains numbers or is blank)
E5 = Units2 (Field contains numbers or is blank)
I would like to insert a column to the right of Column E and add D + E in the inserted cell. I would like F5 to be called NewUnits.
Some cells in Columns D and E are blank. No cell in Column A is blank. (If cell A6 is the activecell and you press CTRL + Down Arrow Key -- you will get to the last cell with data in Col A. That is not the case if the activecell was E6 as there are blanks.)

I'm trying to create a macro to insert a formula into a specific cell. The formula is meant to check if a cell has text, and then if it does, search for the text on another page.

using excel 2010, I would like a macro that will insert a page break every time a row is blank. There are two blank rows between each data row which I need to be separated.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am looking to insert a drop down box in Excel 2010 which will allow users to select multiple items. At the moment I have data validation drop down lists in other columns, however I need one column to allow for multiple selections.
Basically I have a drop down which allows for a region to be selected, my next drop down (in the next column) I need to allow users to either select "ALL", or multiple countries which fall within the region selected previously. I need a check box so that users can select multiple countries, and deselect if an incorrect country is selected in error.
Using Excel 2010, I am trying to create a macro to insert INDEX and MATCH formulas on a sheet that reference Tables on the same sheet.
The formula works fine when entered in a cell where I can point to the Table. Now I need to put the formula in a macro where it will automatically reference the first Table on the sheet.
Here is an example of the formula:
Code:
=INDEX(Table1891034445678912822253536[#All],
MATCH($I35,Table1891034445678912822253536[L/I],0)+1,
MATCH(L$34,Table1891034445678912822253536[#Headers],0))
Just look at that Table name!!
The original file has multiple sheets and multiple Tables on each sheet. No naming convension was used in naming the sheets or Tables.
Can I cycle through all the Tables on a sheet and rename each of them? For example, find the first Table on the sheet closest to cell A1 and rename it Table 1, find the next Table and rename it Table 2, etc.
Is there a way to reference Tables based on an index (similar to sheets)? Is there a Table(1) and Table(2) referencing system? Is it on a per sheet basis or across the entire workbook? That is, can there be more than one Table(1) in a file?
Can I start in cell A1 and find the first instance of a Table and return the name or index of that Table?
I have a sheet that contains the following columns:
Invoice, Document #, Date, PO #, Part #, Part Description, Quantity, Net Amount
Based on the quantity in the row I need to copy the row, and insert it n-1 times. So if the quantity is 5, I need to copy and insert the data below the original row 4 times for a total of 5 rows of data.
I plan on firing the macro with a button as the data will change month to month.

I am after tips on creating a macro in Excel 2010 where it will search a list of folder paths in a column on a spreadsheet and insert a jpeg within the sheet from that folder if it exists. If more than one jpeg exists i would like it to insert the first jpeg only. i have found tips where it will insert images if you know the filename, however I don't have this luxury as file naming routines vary from folder to folder the only constant is that the file is a .jpg format.

Just recently My Excel 2010 has decided to not let me right click to format cells, delete or insert rows. I can do these functions from the ribbon, but not via right click. this happens in both existing spreadsheets where I am the author, or even a brand new spreadsheet like in the image below. we have restarted the computer, Uninstall and reinstalled Office and still get same symptoms. I got here thru google but cannot find an answer anywhere.
I am very computer literate and even our IT personnel have looked at this with no answer. as you can see in the image, these options are greyed out.

I have two sheets with data. I wont excel to look for a value in colum A in sheet 2 the value to look for is defined in colum a in shet 1. If value is found it should insert in sheet one the value that is in the cell next to the found value. The data is not sorted. I have attempted and failed with using different functions.

I am new to VBA programming so i might be making a obvious mistake. I am trying to create a macro that will insert rows depending on a cell value. I also need this to be executed from a command button rather then to occur immediately after the cell value is entered. So as a example
Lets say
Cell A2 has a value 20
Cell A3 has a value 3
Cell A4 has a value 5
when this data is entered and then a Command button poressed there should be
20 rows beneath cell A2
3 rows beneath cell A3
5 rows beneath cell A4
I have a thousand names on a column, and I have a several worksheet tabs as locations, such as CA, AZ, TX, and NY.
All names goes to main worksheet, show like this
apitchford 10 100 123
bkishpaugh 9 211 123
blee 14 234 111
cbonny 21 125 412
I need to pull a specific name, example, name = blee, move that name with all data on that row into TX.
I will need to set as automatically, becuase the names add and delete on the main worksheet, and will auto update those tab worksheets. (make sense?)
I have tried INDEX and MATCH, but they keep putting one data in, not all data.
I am looking for a macros VBA where a user insert or update a data the date and time should be insert in column I and save the workbook.
Note: If the column I already have the date and time inserted before then it should give message record already have date and time.

When I hover the mouse over a cell with comments, the status bar displays a message; for example "Cell A12 commented by A satisfied Microsoft Office user".
I only get this message for one column. The cells in all other columns give my first and second name as the author of the cell comment.
Why it is only effecting one column. I have been unable to change the annoying "commented by A satisfied Microsoft Office user" to my own name.
Is there a macro that can do this? I tried two macros I found online, both from a few years back, but neither of them worked.
