Excel 2010 :: Inserting New Rows In Selected Files?
Mar 3, 2010
I have problems inserting new rows in selected files. The files with the problems have a macro. I don't know if the problem can lie within the macro. There is no error message, it just won't insert the new row(s).
What is the VBA code for inserting text in all column B-cells of multiple selected rows?
I am creating a worksheet with a table containing various data related to orders of various materials (this is more or less data gathering from an older, paper-based 'system'). This table spans, columnwise, from A to D and expands downwards as more orders are added. The information in each column is: A=order number, B=type of material and C=material specs. and D=additional comments.
I've set it up so that the only thing I really have to do is to insert the type of material in the cells of column B, and the rest will sort itself out. Instead of having to insert a new row for each new entry and manually typing in the name of the material (these entries are often done in the midst of already existing data), I created several similar, macroed buttons for the different types of materials we use. These macros work by selecting the row of the currently active cell, inserting a new row and then add the name of the material in the column B-cell of this new row. What I am having trouble doing though, is to get the text-entry to work for a selection of multiple cells.
As an example, lets say that I would like to add 5 orders of "Grade A Steel" in the middle of the table - in the row above row 8. With the macro I currently have I can select cell B5, click the macro, and a new row will be inserted with "Grade A Steel" in column B of this new row. This action could be performed 5 times over, but would be easier if I could just mark a range of 5 cells, say B8:B12, click the macro and get the text/data inserted the column B-cells of all 5 of the new rows. So far I've been able to create a macro that inserts multiple new rows, but I've only been successful in filling the column B-cell in the first row leaving the 4 below empty.
For some reason I don't seem to be able to insert any columns/rows/cells in to my excel spreadsheet. This is a problem in both basis sheets and more advanced ones.
Using excel 2010, how do you insert a drop down calendar? Will this be able to display the date and then can I add a nuber to it and the result be a date
Whenever I insert a column in Excel 2010 it takes the formatting from the Column to the left. I want to insert a Column without formatting. Just a blank column.
What will show in column B will change each day as a I am creating a ordering picking list and want to show a pic in column A of the item to pick the item. Is there an easy way of doing this.
I have been messing around with the following
=showpic("C:DesktopItems46004978Thumb.jpg")
And thought I may be able to show this as by doing the following in the desired cells
And the index formula will grab the correct showpic string depending on stock code that is showing in various column B cells but this isn't working.....
I need a code that when i place a date in a cell D10 (Example:25-January-2013) it will then add 40 days of dates daily to AP10.In D9 can it also add the weeknumber (every 7 days the weeknumber increases by 1) corresponding to the day date in D10 (iso).Can this be attached to a button.Enter the date in D10 then press the button and the dates auto insert across the sheet daily to AP10.
Can the button say ADD DATE or REMOVE DATES.First date in D10.When the button says REMOVE dates all dates deleted when button pressed and cell D10 then says "add date here".If no date is placed in D10 and ADD DATE button is pressed a warning messagebox appears and says NEED TO ADD DATE .Will not work until date entered.When date entered in D10 "Add Date Here" disappears until REMOVE Date button is selected and again "Add Date Here" is displayed....not sure if this is possible but would be good if achieved.

I am trying to insert a blank row into a table (created using the table function in Excel 2010) without the copying the formulas. Every time I insert a row the the formula is copied.
I am trying to add the sheet name to the center footer for each worksheet in a workbook. The workbook has about 80 sheets and it is cumbersome to do this manually. I am using Excel 2010.
I have tried to record a macro capturing what I do manually, but when I run the macro on another sheet, it does not add the sheet name to the center footer.
I have tried searching for a macro online and the ones I have found just crash excel.
I know I am probably missing something obvious in my macro code.
The concept is to have a user open a sheet that breaks down that current day into 15 minute blocks of time. Later, I will work to append that to an Access DB or to a master Excel sheet as I will have multiple engineers inputing times for multiple days. There are multiple paths for this....We don't have Access for everyone yet or I would look at that path now.
Right now I am trying to make the initial input screen easy to use so that they actually use it.
I want to allow the user to select multiple 15 minute blocks and then click a button that adds a specific value to each of those cells. For instance, they might choose 8 15 min blocks that are not necessarily blocked together (C5, C7:C10, C15, C20:C22) They would hit the "Project 1" button and "Project 1" would be inserted into each of those cells.
I have about (5) categories so I would simply have (5) buttons with the different inptu strings.
But how can I have a macro set the value for multiple selected cells? Ideally, they would not have to be blocked together but, if there is no other way, if I could have blocks of cells filled in all at once.
I am using Excel 2010.
only a few of us have Access but I will be the only one accessing the collected data. Besides, I would make Excel query the Access DB for more general use. I
I'm saving information from excel 2010 in to a text file (txt), when doing this and opening up the txt file the below line is saving it with " at the start and at the end of the line.

Is there any way when saving as a text file without the " pulling through at the start and at the end of the line?
I have attached link to a resource planner I have cobbled together and am stuck on the last piece of code. The "Assign Project" button needs to take the project and resource from the drop-down lists and populate the column of that resource with the project name between the dates that have been selected.
We have arrival dates and departure dates for guests and would like to figure out the number of meals needed on a particular date.
Named ranges: NumGuests _ArrivalDate _DepartureDate _CheckInTime _CheckOutTime Need number of breakfasts Number of Lunches Number of Dinners for a given day of the week.
So if a guest is here say Jan 25 arriving after 9am, staying 2 nights they will have Lunch and Dinner on the 25th, BLD on the 26th and BL on the 27th. Since by default most arrive after 9 (miss breakfast), we can eliminate the checkin time for the breakfast calc and make the first one for the next day.
There might be other guests staying through that time period. The ******* would like to know how many meals they will need to prepare for the week.
Hope this is fairly easy to solve. I have Screen #1 with a listbox with a CLICK event. The event populates a combobox below (with items based on listbox's selection). Listbox is NOT multi-select. Code runs fine manually, i.e., user opens screen selects from listbox, then can select from combobox.
I now what to open and make selections from another form/screen, Screen #2. I've written code to select the proper item from Screen #2's listbox but this does NOT trigger the listbox's CLICK event for me so the combobox isn't populated so I can then make that selection from Screen #1, also. I've tried setting focus to listbox first, then making selection, but that doesn't work.
QUESTION: Is there code that selects from a listbox in a way that mimics the user clicking the selected item in the listbox?
The alternatives I can think of are: 1) Change Screen #2's listbox code from CLICK to CHANGE event, but I'd rather not. 2) Move CLICK event code to sub-procedure and then call from both listbox CLICK and Screen #2 code 3) Some sendkey string like ENTER?
Would be easier to just mimic the user click, if possible.

I'm using Excel 2010 and would like to know if it's possible to convert selected ranges in multiple sheets into one PDF file? For example, I want to select range("A1:O10) in Sheet1 and range("A1:N25") in Sheet2, then convert both Excel sheets into PDF file with two pages.
Is there a way of reading .csv files and copying the data from say Sheet1 without actually opening the file itself? I have .csv's that will take some time to open due to size so dont really want to open them, but want to copy the data from all of them within a specific folder.
I am using xp pro, excel 2010 and the ftp server has linux installed. To open files from server I press open button in excel, then choose ftp location from drop down menu. FTP logon box asks password with the option of default user selected. I provide password and go on.
Some days ago something happened, I don't know what but as a result of it when I opened the FTP logon box, the anonymous option was selected by default. So I selected user option, gave id password and hit ok. It did not connect. Then I removed that ftp location from excel ftp locations. Whenever I tried to add an ftp location, excel restarted stating error message " *** encountered a problem *** ". So I reached a site after some googling and was directed to add the whole ftp file location path in the "File name" box of the open dialog box. It worked and the ftp location was automatically added in ftp locations. [ any ftp setting in excel is automatically transferred to ms word as well]
PROBLEM > Now I have a different problem. I can access ftp folders and subfolders but when I select a file and click open, downloading bar at the bottom of the excel does not start and after a long wait an error message pops up " the internet address ' ftp://192.168.****/folder/subfolder/filename.xls" is not valid. [I can open ftp files using filezilla etc]
I have a log that is used to keep when items are due. I do not want my coworkers to delete items once they have been entered and saved. So the excel sheet I am trying to make has certain cells in a range that I want to autolock after saving. For example: the cell range is G3:J402. I enter Customer Name in Cell G3 and the Date the job was received in H3. Once i enter that information I want it locked once i save it. Then later on, my coworker completes the job and enters the date in I2. And again once she saves this she shouldn't be able to edit this information. Then again another day she comes and enters the date on I3 when the product has been shipped out.
While all of the above activity is going on, new customers are continuously being in added in G4, G5....
Also, if possible the date in the H range should be the date items are entered in G (this would be a nice added feature). I've included the file for review. I'm running Microsoft Excel 2010

I have tried hard to find other solutions with links at the following places but not exactly what I'm desiring:Auto lock cells after data entry when file saved...
Auto lock cells after data entered and SAVED.
Auto Lock Selected Range of Cells After Saving
I should also mention that most solutions either provide for locking/unlocking of all cells but not a selected range. Or they provide for locking/unlocking of a selected range but not for a specific sheet or not after you have saved the workbook.
This is unique in that I'd like it to autolock after i press the save button for a SPECIFIC number of cells. I just wanted to clarify as to not make others think that I haven't used the search function.
I have a whole ton of *.dbf files (98 to be exact), that are from ArcGIS shapefiles. These date1_date2.dbf files have point names, and values, as shown below.
NAMERASTERVALU Point 1-9999.00000000 Point 2-9999.00000000 Point 3-9999.00000000 Point 4-4.93072701 Point 5-8.90071201
I'm trying to figure out how to transpose each of the dbf files and save them as a text file (tab deliminated). My original plan involved saving them all as text files, then using a convoluted Unix script (I'm what you call a "dirty programmer") to transpose them and then combine them all into a single file. Since there are so many files (and I plan to do this in the future as well), I thought if I could at least automate the text file creation, I'd be ahead of the game. Even better would be a macro that will transpose the data for EACH file, then create a 99 (98 files + header row) row, 5 column text file. Creating the text files (1 text file for each dbf file) automatically .
All the *.dbf files will have exactly the same # rows/columns (2 columns, 6 rows)
This is what I've tried so far. 1)open one of the dbf files in Excel 2)record my marco (using the Personal Macro Workbook option - so it will be available in any workbook) 2a) transpose data (and paste it right below the original data so that the new data is in rows 7 and 8 of the same file) 2b) save as text file (tab deliminated) 2c) stop recording, and end up with this:
NAMERASTERVALU Point 1-9999.00000000 Point 2-9999.00000000 Point 3-9999.00000000 Point 4-4.93072701 Point 5-8.90071201 NAMEPoint 1Point 2Point 3Point 4Point 5 RASTERVALU-9999.00000000-9999.00000000-9999.00000000-4.93072701-8.90071201
So now I want to apply the macro I just created to all open workbooks (after I bring in all the bdf files), but the macro isn't listed when I click the "view macros" button. All I want to do is apply the steps I recorded in the macro to all open workbooks.
I have small bit of import code (below), that I am looking to modify. The data that I am importing is for an inventory tool that determine optimal on hand quantities and alerts to any issues. In the past there had been one inventory source (one .csv data file). So I populate that to one sheet and modify the data on that sheet. I now have multiple data sources that I need to address.
There are two things that I would like to add/be able to do.
1) I would like to add a dropdown or set of multiple buttons to the popup window that says "Select the OnHand Report". Previously I only had one report source which I posted to sheet "orow0205". I have 2 other data files now that I have to import and they need to go to sheets "orow0206" and "orow2144". I am grabbing the data the same way on each sheet so that doesnt need to change I just need the option on the pop up window to determine the sheet name I want the import to go to.
2) The files that come from the sources above have a file name like "20121213_00000_groupstatistics.csv". Where the first eight digits represent the date the file was generated. If possible, after I select the sheet via the popup solve above, I would like to have the date populated in "MM/DD/YYYY" format in the last column of the imported data (the same date for each row of data imported). The file imported has no date data on it and can represent any day (which is why I am not using some form of TODAY formula).
Excel 2010: I'm working with a sheet where I would like to get accurate results on the make and model of cars sold in a given week. The workbook contains several worksheets each representing weekly sales numbers for different vehicles.
The Make-Models tab has the lists used to create the drop-down selections.
The Sales tab allows one to create an ad hoc report on the total number of vehicles sold, by Make and Model. Cell B2 is named 'SelectedModel' and used in the formula found in column E, Total Sold.
Problem: When I select Honda, for example in B2 of the Sales worksheet then select Accord in cell B3 of the same. The results returned in E2, E3 and E4 are 2, 3 and 4, respectively, instead of 8, 3 and 7.
2 Honda Accords were sold on Monday and 6 on Tuesday of the same week. My formula is only returning the first matched value of 2 whereas I would like it to return 2+6, 8 for week 1. Same goes for other weeks.
Select any other make and model and notice the problem follows. I believe the error is due to incorrect usage of the formula or incorrect formula altogether.
I've been looking for a free checkbook register template that will automatically calculate the balance as you add or subtract various amounts.
I found one which seemed to be just what I wanted but once I had reached the end of the rows for the worksheet and tried to add more rows the automatic feature quit working.
I found another Checkbook Register which seemed even better than the first one as it had a notation at the end of the rows.
It said to " Insert new rows above this point" and it had the last row greyed out.
I tried adding a new row and tested it out by adding some amount but it did not continue with the automatic calculation either.
There are certain .xlsm files in our system (some have macros and others don't) which generate "Error: Source not Found" in the Edit Links dialog box when the Check Status button is pushed. However, the source location is correct, as you can click on Open Source and it will open the correct file.
For simplicity of explaining my issue, consider the following scenario. In my workbook "Corn Production Summary.xls_" I link to 2 source files: "Iowa.xlsm" and "Nebraska.xlsx" (Note: The extension of the summary file doesn't matter. This error happens regardless of what the summary is.)
When I open "Corn Production Summary" I am prompted to update values. I select Update and the file refreshes and recalculates appearing to have updated all values (i.e. no error messages). However, the values from Iowa.xlsm did NOT update and there was no error message indicating that the values didn't update.
To confirm this, I go to Data>Edit Links>Check Status in "Corn Production Summary" and I see that Iowa.xlsm has the "Error: Source not Found" error. I click on Open Source and once the file is open, my data in the summary file will update.
One work around was to do the following process (with the summary file closed):
1) Iowa.xlsm and Save As Iowa.xlsx (removing macros if needed)
2) Save As Iowa.xlsx as Iowa.xlsm (overwriting the file that is currently there and readding the macros)
3) Open the summary file and both Iowa and Nebraska work just fine now.
There are a lot of files like this, and because Excel doesn't prompt us that it isn't really getting the values from these certain .xlsm files we would have to search in "Edit Links" for each file to make sure that they really are updating.
I need a formula (but most likely a VBA macro) that will search through a folder for a file than get data from that file. The files are named in systematic way, but I need the entire formula to work from inputting a mold number in one cell. E.g. I input 6291 in cell A2 the vba macro searches for file “6291 mold.xlsx” and returns a range of numbers as well as pictures in specified cells. Is this possible? If so how?
The closest thing I have found is VBA macro that retrieves a list of media files in a folder, I listed the code below.
