Excel 3003 :: How To Prevent To Stop Macro Called From A Function
May 3, 2014
I am trying to use the simplest code possible (being a novice) to execute a macro which makes a copy of Cell A1:A4 and paste its values to Cells B1:B4 if cell B5=1 (or whatever). The Macro with copy and paste works (I recorded it and in my testing it was ok). And also the function, that contains If-Then status of cell B5, works and calls correctly the Macro.
Yet when the macro is called by the function (=CopyMyCells(B5)), the Macro (MacroCopy) runs - I tested this with a Msgbox - but stops just in doing what I need, i.e. in doing the copy-paste process. Here the code which is placed in a module of the proper Worksheet (Excel 2003, on WinXPSp3):
i need to create a function macro Called FSTD that inserts words into a cell and conditionally formats them depending on th number in the cell on the left.
in the sheet there are ranges that the number will fall between.
Example
Cell B1 is the cell were i want to run the function in Cell A1 is the cell with the number that is used in the function
Cells A3:A7 are that ranges that i need to use in the function
E.g. if the number in A1 is less than A6 = i want "P" to appear in the cell with a red backround
if the number is greater than A6 but less than A5 = i want "M" to apear with an orange back round
if the number is Greater than A5 but less than A4 = i want "E" to apear with a green backround
even if it is possible to do without changing the backrounds, just to insert the letters
1. Can a Subroutine be called from within a user-defined Public Function? How?
2. Is there a difference between calling a subroutine with a 'Call Sub_Name' statement, vs. calling the subroutine with an 'Application.Run'(?? or similar) statement?
The attached file contains hypothetical data on a basketball player's success from the free throw line. It lists the number of free throws attempted and the number made and then divides the number made by the number attempted to calculate the free throw percentage. However, I keep getting a # DIV/0! error in the games free throws weren't taken. How do I write the code so that when the error occurs, a message is displayed to the effect that no percentage can be reported because no free throws were attempted by checking the cell in column D? How do I use the IsError function to figure this out?
i am using the following code to close my userform and work book,this disables the exit button on the userform but i can still close the workbook by using the exit buttons on the sheet. can i disable the exit buttons on the sheet so the only way to close the workbook from the userform
Private Sub CmbClose_Click()
Dim ans As Variant ans = MsgBox("This will close XL, save current file?", vbYesNoCancel) If ans = vbYes Then 'save book and quit XL ThisWorkbook.Save Application.Quit ElseIf ans = vbNo Then ' no save and quit XL Application.Quit ElseIf ans = vbCancel Then 'no save, no close , back to userform1 Exit Sub End If
I have a series of procedures I am calling from a function that each run fine when executed individually. These procedure are titled: DataValidation, Test1, Test2
The function will not run past Test2- I do not get the msgbox "Stage 2"
Code: Public ArrayD Public ArrayD2 As Variant Public RngD3 As Range
I have a macro that calls functions from another workbook.
For example:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal target As Range) If ThisWorkbook.OpenCommon <> -1 Then _ Application.Run Workbooks("common.xls").name & "!Arkusz1.CellChange", target End Sub
But when I get an error in CellChange function from "common.xls" workbook, debugger points only to the third line of the code above, not to the bad line in called function. Is there any way to change this behaviour (maybe some tool etc.)?
One of the fields I import has a value like 100:01 or 10:01 or 01:01 or other combinations (the above ones are the most frequent ones). Unfortunately excel always converts this field into a date and a time but this is not what I want. Is there any way to stop excel doing this? I tried to work around it with the text property e.g. formating it to text after I imported the data and formating the entire sheet to use text before
I already have a macro that on opening the workbook checks to see if the workbook has been renamed outside excel in windows and if so closes the workbook. I need a macro to intercept the save as command and prevent the user from saving the workbook as another name. I would however still like the user to be able to save. I would also like them to be able to save the workbook in another directory but only with the same workbook name.
I have a function in a cell triggered on the value returned by a DDE link in another cell.
e.g. cell A1 contains =function1(A2) and cell A2 contains =ADVFN|NYSE_CAT!CUR
function1 is triggered each time the DDE link updates regardless of whether the result returned has changed or not. How do I prevent function1 being triggered if the returned value has not changed?
I'm trying to replicate the same functionality using Excel Analyzer that Lotus 123 had with it's function called Backsolver.
Below is a simple matirx of expenses, that shows a sum total of 3297. I want to change the number 3297 to 5000 and I want the rows and columns to add up to that total based on the same % relationship that existed when this matrix added to 3297
This technique is useful when you are trying to spread changes in a plan and you need to develop placeholders that add up and accross to the new target i.e, 5000 based on the previous targets % relationships that existed when the row and columns added up to 3297
I can use the analyzer, but when it finds its solution it returns negative values as part of the solution. I'm missing something in trying to set the parameters so that it won't return me negative #'s.
I have written a user-defined function that searches for a small range within a larger range. The function requires two input parameters: the range you are looking for, and the range you want to look within.
For example, I might look for the string of values in cells A1:D1 in a larger range E1:H20. The function returns the row number in the larger range where the smaller range is found.
My problem is this: The function is working fine when I call it from another sub procedure. However, when I try to run it as a worksheet function, I get a "#VALUE!" error. The function pops up in the "insert function" menu, and it prompts for the two input parameters.
I'm working on a text prediction project classifer model and would like to remove the stop words before I stem the document to get the important topics.
I found the thread that Stanley solved really useful. However, I have a lot more stop words that I'd like to remove, which I couldn't make work with the previous code (I'm completely new to this!)
I have unprotected cells in excel where I need to change the content (number) and cell color, but I don't want the cell borders to change. I'm a beginner with vba. I've tried protect sheet and workbook options, but looks like I need a vba code and don't know where to start.
I recorded a simple Macro in Excel 2010 to sort data by the first Column, heading "Ref". I have assigned CTRL + e as the keyboard shortcut for this.
My sheet contains a number of hidden rows (as I hide rows when I have finished working on that issue).
When I run the macro, it does sort by the number of Column A, but also, the hidden rows are then shown again.
I realise I could just click on the A-Z sort button to stop this happening, but I really like being able to use keyboard shortcuts, which is why I tried the macro route.
I wondered if it is possible for the macro to ignore hidden rows?
Code: This is the macro: Sub SortByRef() ' ' SortByRef Macro ' ' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+E
my excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation. During the first tries I had a lot of break point in my debugger. But now I want to have a button to hit or better just some keys to hit to stop it without using the ctrl+alt+del which closes everything.
I am trying to sort a csv file through a VBScript. My problem is that Excel continues to run as a process on script completion. Running multiple variation of this script results in multiple instances of Excel being present in the WinXP Process Manager.
Set xlObj = CreateObject("Excel.Application") xlObj.Visible = false xlObj.Workbooks.Open "C:Test.csv" xlObj.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Sort xlObj.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("A1"),,,,,,,0 xlObj.ActiveWorkBook.Save xlObj.ActiveWorkBook.Close true xlObj.quit set xlObj = Nothing As a second part to my question, is there any way to modify the code to allow multiple field sorts, i.e., A1 is Primary, C1 is secondary?
I call it from a macro. It is supposed to write some temporary files, and close them in the end, and delete them. Sometimes, the dll can't close properly, and the text files remain open.
With error treatment in my macro, I can continue execution, but i need to delete that files.
Since the dll DOES NOT CLOSE the files, i'm not able to delete them in my macro.
I need some way to close that files, in order to delete them.
When I use GetFile to reference the file, it remains as "File", which does not accept "Close" method. I can reference the file with myfile.OpenAsTextStream, but this way it seems to me that the file is opened again, and the "Close" method does not work either, with the file defined as a TextStream object.
If I close excel, I'm able to delete those files, but that's not the way I want. Since IT'S OPEN IN EXCEL PROCESS, I imagine there's some way to close it.
I have a Macro (AutomateReport) that, among other things, calls and runs a macro (ReportStep1) in another workbook.
ReportStep1 includes three prompts asking the user to press "OK" to confirm that the data included is correct. When I call ReportStep1 as part of my larger macro I would like to suppress these prompts or automatically respond "OK" so that I don't have to be bothered with them.
SendKeys works sometimes, but I am hoping for a more reliable method.

I get the error "Run-time error 440: The specified dimension is not valid for the current chart type" why I am getting this. The macro does everything I want it to, except for throwing the error at the end.
Does anyone out there have a macro that will delete all worksheets except for one specific one? In this case I want all worksheets deleted except for one called "MAIN".
creating a macro, I have a list of CSV files in a folder called balances, i need a macro that will look into each CSV file and grab all p'folios which have a negative balance in Col D and line them up as per example shown below. The extracted data needs to be copied to file named "Workings" S:RecsalancesWorkings
All data in CSV file looks like this, where header row is row 1 starting at A1
i am running a macro thru vba (beiing called from a ms access module) and am getting a RuntTimeError 1004.
the code opens a workbook...then open a second workbook (which houses the macro) then activates the desired worksheet and call the Maco via the run command but errors out.
if i open the workbook and set focus on the desired sheet ....tool>macro>desired macro name it runs fine.
the line of code in the macro is: "ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate"
This is great only when I evaluate the function test() one cell at a time. When I copy this formula to other cells or perform autofill Excel thinks that the active cell is the first cell in the series.
What I really want is for the function to return the column of the CELL that contains the function, and not the cell that's last clicked.
