View 8 Replies1. A workbook is closed
2. In addition to the original workbook being saved, a copy of the workbook with the current date is also saved to the specified location of my choice.
For example
"C:UsersUSER1DesktopBackup Test as of 02-10-14"
3. If a copy of the workbook is already saved with today's date, then overwrite it automatically without prompting the user.
4. All the above happens without any user interaction.
Is there some sort of vba code that will stop excel from creating a backup copy of the export file from access?
XLApp.ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True
This code saves and closes the workbook, but it then creates a backup copy. I would like to enter some code so it stops making a backup file.
I have this macro currently running on an original excel document
Private Sub Workbook_Open()Dim fname
fname = "C:ackupEconomics Tracker - " & Format(Now, "dd mmm yy hh mm AM/PM") & ".xlsm"
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs Filename:=fname
Sheets("Menu").Activate
End Sub
Which creates a backup of the document each time the document is opened; I was wondering, is it possible to remove that particular macro from the backup as opposed to saving the backup as .xlsx? I don't want to be able to open a backup and the backup makes a backup
That particular macro is running on the main workbook.
I have two spreadsheets that are linked in Excel 2007. They both hold very different information about the same projects, so each row shares some information. However, they are both very large and I do not want to combine them in case the whole spreadsheet becomes unusable. I'm not allowed to use a database
When I save Spreadsheet 1 in a different location, so that I have a backup of the precious data, the link in Spreadsheet 2 changes to show that new location. I want the link to stay at the old location.
Is there a way to stop the link changing when I use SaveAs, so that when I open Spreadsheet 2 it refers to the original location of Spreadsheet 1?
I have a spreadsheet containing 3 sheets. MW01 (first floor inventory), MW02 (second floor inventory), and SEARCH.
The sheets contain a part number in one column and a shelf location in the second column. I currently have over 1000 parts listed and growing.
I want to be able to type a part number into a cell on my "search" sheet and have it return the shelf location of that part.
I am trying to develop a spreadsheet that will calculate a cost based on a matrix. I am attaching a sample of the calculation created so far. The end result is in cell M13 and is highlighted in yellow. I kind of layed the formula out in a few different cells, so hopefully it would be easy to follow.
simplify this process with maybe another formula that I might not be aware of, or maybe show me how to get this done in VB code. I think VB code would be the correct way to go just not sure.
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 just used the excellent formula =row(index(range,match(1,index,--(range)>0),0),0))) to give me the first instance of a number, but i am wondering if there is a formula to give me the last instance of the number as well? Maybe? This would save me much time if possible.

The function i am using to test is called "extent" and it is called fine when loaded on one machine, loads fine on another machine, saved it. Load it up on another and the link is completely wrong. It is completely random between machines.
The link it loaded is an old one i have used before that is not in use, but it was not associated with this spreadsheet file in anyway. Is there anyway to force excel not to update these links automatically as the manual option is greyed out.
I can not fathom out why excel puts in this network location.
I have attached some screenshots, the correct network location is PODDrop BoxesPOD_AdminAddins

I am currently having a slightly annoying issue that only happens 50% of the time, that when trying to re-save a excel sheet on a network location. The network location is a folder on another computer. The same happens when I try and save it as a pdf, but only happens half of the time.
The message which pops up says something along the line of 'Saving as: 'File-ServerDocumentsexcelsheetexample.xls' ' and a sort of green loading bar appears. It does this for about 15 seconds then goes off.
I've checked our anti virus (which is eset) and I've set it to not real time scan network locations.
I have attached a example of the saving message: ExcelWarningExample.jpg

I'm using Excel 2010. When I go into the Excel Options, to the Save option and try to type in a specific network drive in the Default File Location: box, I click OK and then it doesn't save the changes. I close Excel down all the way and then restart a new Excel session and it keeps going back to "LibrariesDocuments..."
It doesn't seem to be just related to Excel...having the same issue in Word and Access 2010 as well.
I would like to have a macro button that will open the file location (path were the excel is stored) in MS explorer.
I found something like:
Sub ExplorePath()
Shell Environ("windir") & "Explorer.exe " & ActiveDocument.Path, vbMaximizedFocus
End Sub
But that give the error that an object is needed. Would that also work for MS Word?
I am building a code based on a command button in a row, which will check is a worksheet exists (message), if not create a worksheet from a template (from another worksheet specific to a on a cell value in the same row), rename the worksheet based on a cell value in the same row.
I am having some success for each task with exception to relative cell values .....
As the code will be specific to the row (one button per row) Questions:
how to i determine the location of the button that is clicked? (I assume once this is established i can use to pull values in the same sheet on certain columns....?)
I am looking for some code which will return the location of the form button which is being clicked on to activate the macro. I would like to avoid using an active.x button if at all possible.
In this way I can use the same macro on a column of buttons to trigger an action based on adjacent cell contents.
e.g.
Name Button
Mr a Button1
Mr b Button1
Mr c Button1
The aim is to use the button on an index tab and to capture the name next to the button as a sort string for data on a separate tab.
I am running Excel 2010 on Windows Xp.
I just got a new computer and upgraded to Excel 2010 and Windows 7. When I try to open a workbook in Excel 2010, my saved file paths on the left side of the screen are gone. I want to put them back in there.
In Excel 2007 running Windows XP, I would just right click in the left side menu and click "add" and now that's no longer an option.
I have a excel sheet which is completely formula driven and no macros in that.
I want to macro which can save that excel sheet to a specific location.
I need code for a search box function, that returns the information recorded in a cell for example, "Barcelona" or "London" etc), instead of the location of the cells.
I will need to narrow it down to search only the information in the following columns:

I am totally new to VBA coding and have stumbled my way through a few things, but everything I have searched for so far has had at least one error when transposing to Excel.

Using Excel 2003 and cannot copy a worksheet and am getting this error:
File not found: CDocumentTempVB4B.tmp
I am trying to create a formula which will look at the data in columns A - I (50 rows) and copy this data to columns K - S but ignoring any blank cells. Thereby consolidating the data in the upper rows with no spaces.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have data in E6-E67 on Sheet 1. Based on the date in A2 on that sheet, I need to paste to a column in Sheet 2. In excel, I am able to get the cell location through vlookup and get the correct column number/cell reference. When it gets to the paste location, I am stumped on how to format that line of code? Do I need sometime of variable? I tried to use the address/lookup code but it does not work.
I have excel 2013.
The code below works. Now I need that while it does the backup file in the same location, we also took into C: Backup_Contabilidade. Finally also put the date and time.
VB:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) With Application
.CommandBars("Cell").Reset

I’m aware of the AutoRecovery, but I’m looking for an Autoback (Auto save) itself. Is there one in Excel? ( I'm using 2003)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet on a server, password protected, and certain columns, rows locked...
This is shared with 6 others and can only be accessed one at a time.
If It so that when the user saves the spreadsheet it saves over itself on the server it's located AND on the individual users computer as backup; how would I go about doing this!?
Just thinking is there a macro that would do a backup of the opened file just by clicking an object?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI call the macro below from a Workbook_BeforeClose sub; however, if the user has not saved changes before they hit the close then the Sub SaveFile runs and then after the backup save they are then asked do you want to save changes.
I initially had this sub run with Workbook_BeforeSave, but I don't really want to run this everytime the user selects save.
Any ideas on how to how the save changes first and then the backup?
I am looking for some code to auto save my workbook into this location every 15 min,
