Excel 2010 :: Result Of Recorded Macro Is Different From Hand Work
Mar 10, 2014
I have csv file with tab delimited fields (see attached blacklist.csv). 3rd and 4th fields are in format dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss, some fields can be zero. I need to split data to columns and display datetime fields in format dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss.
OK... open csv in Excel, select column A, press button "Split in columns", select tab as delimiter, choose date format (DMY) for 3rd and 4th field and press OK. Test is splitted into columns, now select columns C and D and select desired format "dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss". Then I select columns A:E and set column widths to fit data in columns. This all is OK and without problems (see attached file Handmade.xlsx).
But now... Now I record all previous step into macro. There is macro text: [Code] ....
Now I copy macro text into clipboard and open blacklist.csv again. Insert button to list and bind it to new macro. Paste text of macro from clipboard. (See attached file blacklist_beforeClick.xlsm). Now click button Btn and voila... some dates remain in previous format, some dates seems to be in desired format, but day and month are swapped. Why are there differences when comparing data made by hand and data made by macro??? compare.jpg This is the same behavior in more computers, some use Czech version of Excel 2010, some use English version.
I have been given a macro recorded on a mac and it works fine with Mac Excel 2011. Unfortunately, I need to make it to work on a windows machine, but it comes up with an error message "macro unable to set width property of the window class. Run-time error 1004". When I press debug it takes me to the line .Width = 1456.
Below is the chunk of the code that becomes highlighted when pressing debug.
With ActiveWindow .Width = 1456 .Height = 795 End With
I am working on a project where I am virtually almost finished except for a minor change with the pie chart. I am analyzing some data and recorded a macro to do this and also the pie chart for visualization. However, I do not like the color of the default pie chart colors and would like to customize it. How could I change this within the macro I have recorded?
On column A, I simply do an A-Z sort that gives the expected result. So I recorded it as a macro. In column G is a code that corresponds with column A. When the marcro is executed Column A is sorted but the corresponding value in G stays where it is. Clicking the A-Z button works. But when that action is recorded as a macro I get the above quirck. Since VBA is not my beef, I don't really know what wrong.
I have an issue with the excel freeze in our organisation.
Our organisation works on Citrix and the office applications have been upgraded to 2010 very recently.We have both 2003 excel users and 2010 excel users.There is a user who has a problem working on excel 2010 the excel freezes.Excel 2010 works fine for some time and all at a sudden hangs,once its hung it freezes all the other applications.
The same file runs properly on the other 2010 systems.The Excel file which hangs are also not of huge in size.
I am unable to get to the rootcause of the issue why the excel freezes or hangs in the middle of the work getting to the root cause of the issue and an answer for the excel hanging.
I am working in Excel 2010 (Windows 8) and am having real problems trying to find a function/formula that will work with both numbers and text. I am trying to identify if the contents of Col A cells and Col C cells on each row are duplicated within a worksheet, and if they are, to add a 'J'.
(Column A is a list of numerical company codes and Column C is a list of adviser codes using the letter A-G. If a company ID code has more than one of the same adviser codes referenced to it, it is termed 'Joint', hence the 'J').
The formula I've used is: =IF(A2:C2, FREQUENCY>1, "J")
First I made some contents and drew a border from Home > Font > all Borders on an Excel 2010 file. So it became like below image (capture1). After that I wanted to print it so went to File > Print to see its preview. But the problem is that the lines between tue and wed and also between mon and tue are not shown neither in preview nor when printing. The height of row 7 until 17 is 24 (that is 32 pixel) but heights of the rest of the rows are normal (20 pixel).
My company recently upgraded everyone to Microsoft 2010 from 2007 version. I have no substantial VBA skill and left with a VBA code which is supposed to extract a list of outlook emails sitting in a shared mailbox into Excel.
I was using that VBA code in Outlook 2007 and it worked fine but shows the following error when run in Outlook 2010: 'Run-time error '-2147221233 (8004010f)': The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found. Here is part of the code:
[Code] .....
It worked after one of the members suggested to "click on any line of this code and press F8 repeatedly until the yellow focus moves to the error line, don't press F8 anymore. Now in immediate window, copy paste each of below lines, press enter after each line. Let us know where the error occur." However, it stop working the next day.
I've created a spreadsheet at work that has two summary tabs which contain hyperlinks to around 30 separate sheet tabs.
On each sheet tab there is a list of unique values in column A (and other information relating to each value in columns B to D which are repeated for more than one unique value). In column E, users enter a test script name against each unique value they wish to 'reserve', and the macro picks out the unique test script names and via the COUNTIF formula counts the frequency of each test script name for each of the different values in column B.
My problem is that the macro seems to work fine if the workbook is not shared, but errors if the workbook is saved as shared. The error is 'Run time error 1004 - Unable to select the MergeCells property of the Range class'.
Here is the macro code:
Sub Get_Policies_Per_Script(updCol As Long, ShtName As String) Dim rowctr As Long Dim tgtrow As Long
Const ppsformula As String = "=COUNTIFS($A$3:$A$65000,I$24,$E$3:$E$65000,$G"
If updCol = 5 Then 'test name column has been modified
I am currently using a pop up calendar in Excel 2010 that with CTL+SHIFT+B that a calendar pops up, you select your date, and then the calendar closes. What I now need is to write a code or formula or something that when I click in any cell in column F lets say that the calendar opens automatically in that cell and then still close automatically after the date selection is made.
I deal with a rather large excel database (the range is A1:AV168266) that contains customer information. Some of these various customers are affiliated with a group called "ascend" and I need to be able to filter all my list by every customer affilliated with Ascend. The trouble is that the word "ascend" can appear in 8 different columns and usually when it appears in one column it doesn't appear in the others and their can also be more text in the cell beyond the word "ascend". I want to create a formula that will simply look for the word "ascend" in any cell of a row and return a result I can filter by. I will be putting the formula in column AW and put it in all 170,000 rows of that column, that way I can just filter by a single column.
I've played around with combining COUNTIF with SEARCH and MATCH with SEARCH but nothing seems to work.
I am trying to use the status of Conditional Formatting to toggle on/off protection for a cell.
I have a cell with Conditional Formatting applied if the result of a formula is true. If the Conditional Formatting is applied, I want the cell protection turned on so a user can not change the entry in the cell. If Conditional Formatting is not applied (false), cell protection is turned off and the user may edit.
Using Excel 2010, I set up a simple workbook with a spreadsheet on one page and the ranges for data validation on another. I successfully linked the fields in the "Category" and "Tender" columns with the data on the second sheet, making nice drop down menus. Everything works fine on my computer. However, when we open the workbook on a different station, the drop down menus disappear. If you highlight any of the "Category" or "Tender" fields, the little drop down prompt is missing; they behave like regular, un-formatted fields. It appears that the data validation became un-linked.
We tried opening versions with certain fields locked (Mainly the Total, Breakdown, and Summary areas, but the fields with data validation were still editable), and also completely unlocked documents. Every time, the drop down lists were lost when opened on different stations.
I've attached the completely unlocked version : 00_FLEX TRAVEL EXPENSE REPORT_v3.xlsx
Forget to check a box or something? This seems way harder for me to figure out that it should be!
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.
The below piece of code carries out a vlookup on a defined cells value and produces a result in sheet one, however if the column index number in sheet 2 (Database) is empty the result 00/01/1900 is produced.
I'm not sure how to say leave the result blank if the column index number is blank.
I have been using the "record macro feature". What I want the macro to do is as follows. 1. cut all data from column C and paste it into G. 2. Use the textTocolumns feature to split a comma delimited string into 2 seperate columns. 3. user the textToColumns feature to remove any leading spaces from column G. 4. cut columns d-H and shift them left startign in column C.
I can do all of this find bu using the GUI while recording the macro but when I check the vb script it's completely missing the paste commands.
When I try and run the macro it, quite rightly, returns "run-time error '1004':No data was selected to parse.
Below is the resulting recorded macro.
How do I amend this macro do include pasting the cut data?
I recorded a macro (which worked), then tried to get more out of it by adding code to add a further function (which didn't work). The code is as follows:-
I have a workbook where I need to sort data with range (K2:L24), then move down 208 rows and sort range (K210:L232) and repeat this upto 1000 times. I have shortened a recorded macro as an example and would like to know how to loop or repeat.

I've recorded a macro in which I unhide certain columns, copy and paste some information then hide those columns again. The problem is that when the macro is finished, it incorrectly hides columns K to AN. I did not record that and it's not in the code so I'm lost as to why it's happening.
Why it's hiding everything from K to AN. I've tried recording the macro several times but it's just not working, no matter the order in which I hide columns when recording it.
I have a list of items in Sheet1 column A (starting from row 1).
I would like the corresponding column B to have certain values depending on the value in column A (same row), as follows:
If the value in column A has "SYS????CZ", column B should be "HPC" If the value in column A has "SYSNIS", column B should be "NIS" If the value in column A has "SYSJBE", column B should be "JBE" If the value in column A has "ICG????", column B should be "HPC" If the value in column A has "IL????", column B should be "RUP" If the value in column A has "SYSHPC08", column B should be "HPC"
What I tried was to record a macro while typing the formula in B1: ...
Im setting up a spreadsheet that does engineering calculations. Im using macros to run sizes from a standard schedule. It basically takes the values from one sheet (schedule) to another (calculation), then the result from the calculation sheet (Value only, not the link) is pasted back into the schedule. The macro seems very bulky and im sure that it can be made more efficient with a loop. here is a sample of the code from the macro;
