Excel Called From VBS Does Not Fully Exit
Nov 5, 2009
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 would like to call upon a function until a certain criterion is fullfilled. Then, I would like to have the result returned to me and exit (all) open functions. For value1 = 1 and value2 = 10 I expect value1*value2 = 100. Instead, the routine returnz zero. What is the logical flaw in the code below.
Function testfunction(value1, value2)
If value1 = value2 Then
'Calculating the difference
testfunction = value1 * value2
Exit Function
ElseIf value1 < value2 Then
value1 = value1 + 1
Call testfunction(matrix1, matrix2)
End If
End Function

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 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):

This code works fine when I run it in Excel.
Code:
Sub RemoveCodeAndSave()
'Remove all code from ThisWorkbook code module
ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("ThisWorkbook").CodeModule.DeleteLines 1, _
[Code]....
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.

I have some code that I am using to save and close the active workbook, this code works perfectly, but I need the code to also close the excel application, not just the workbook. I have tried active window.close but it didn't work even though when I recorded the actions that was the code that I was give.
background -I set a task in my OS to open the workbook, then I wrote some code on the Workbook.open trigger to run and then save and close, but only the activebook closes.

I'm trying to solve when hitting the Save/Close button on my Userform.
Give the User the option to Save As the toolGive the User the option to either exit or return after Save AsIf Exit - hide all but the first worksheet (in case they open with Macros DisabledClose/Exit
My current issue is when I click the button and choose Exit Yes then the form and workbook close, but Excel is still open. Is there a way to have Excel fully close if no other workbooks are open?
Code:
Private Sub cmbSaveAs_Click()
Dim sFilename
If MsgBox("Save the file?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
sFilename = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(fileFilter:="Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm),*.xlsm")

The macro does numerous things, including deleting the sheet that was active when it is called. If the sheet is not deleted, there is no crash. Otherwise, Excel crashes as soon as the VBA interpreter hits "Exit Sub". The Excel message is simply "Excel Stopped Working". The macro also saves the workbook before finishing, and the saved workbook opens just fine, but it's unacceptable to have to kill Excel and restart it every time (I am not the main user for this spreadsheet). I'm using Excel 2010 on Windows 7.

I'm having some trouble getting control ENTER & EXIT events to fire properly when having controls embedded on frames within a userform. I'm using Excel 2003, 2007, & 2010. Here's the userforms I'm working with:
With FRAME:
Without FRAME:
In both cases, the DESCRIPTION field is disabled. The selectable controls on both are a combo-box, textbox, listbox, & 2 buttons. On the FRAMED version, the combo-box & textbox are contained on a FRAME.
Here's the code, same on both userforms:
Code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub cmbRecipes_Enter()
ListBox1.AddItem "ENTER - " & cmbRecipes.Value
End Sub
Private Sub cmbRecipes_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
ListBox1.AddItem "EXIT - " & cmbRecipes.Value
End Sub
All this is doing is posting a message to the listbox when the combo-box ENTER & EXIT events fire. This works as expected without the FRAME, ENTER is shown when the combo-box is entered and EXIT is shown as focus is moved to another control. But when running it on the FRAMED version all I get is a single ENTER event recorded regardless of how I move the focus through the control set.
Another oddity is that if I have more than 1 control that can receive focus on the FRAMED version, it appears to work correctly.

I'm no expert with my vba, record a few macros and make alterations to existing code but this is driving me crazy.
I have a simple script which I would like to update all DB links and all Pivot Table information, which my code does but i'm currently having to run it twice before it shows the correct results.

When clicking on the sorting button of filtered data near the top of a field, I can select different things to show or not show. In a date field, it starts to arrange things by year, which can be expanded to months, which can further expand to show individual days. All well and good.
But many of my dates do not show up in the year categories. They are instead shown below the years as individual dates. Furthermore, sorting the date field in question is imperfect for these dates. Here is an example where some dates from april are jammed inbetween others:
4/2/20124/2/20124/2/20124/2/20124/20/20124/20/20124/20/20124/20/20124/20/2012
...
4/27/20124/27/20124/27/20124/27/20124/3/20124/3/20124/3/2012
These jammed dates are some of the same ones that are orphaned outside the year groupings. All the dates have the same date cell type. No other filters are applied.

I'm working on a project and am particularly new to the whole excel world (especially with macros). Currently, my boss has some data that needs to be refined and organized. Until I get a sense how to have a macro do everything all at once, I plan on have macros do each step more quickly.
Right now, the macros my boss has given me allows the data to be organized into clusters. Each cluster is separated by client IDs in column C. Each cluster is separated by a blank row. We are looking for clients who have not paid their dues and are marking their unpaid dues with colored rows. The dues that are paid are left as white. However, there are clients who do pay their dues, leaving their entire clusters white. I was wondering if there is a macro to remove those fully white clusters.

I have a workbook which when opened connects to an external datasource (excel file) and downloads a table of information. While this is happening I have a userform which shows which has a lable saying (connecting to datasource, please wait....). However, when I open the workbook, the userform shows but the labels do not show, the userform just appears white.

1003 W12 90 90 done
1004 F12 30 30 done

I'm trying to run a macro that only shows completed projects, which means all elements of a project have been labeled "Completed". See example below; 1868 is the only project I want to see when I run the macro, 1869 and 1870 are fully complete, so I don't want to see them.

Recently I come across a file with only 1 sheet, in which is a table only occupied an array of A1:Q49. In Normal View I can see the row / column header of A-Q and 1-49 as usual, but nothing outside that range (only grey colour). Also, the empty cells outside A1:Q49 are all grey too. How can I do that?

I have two lists and wish to compare them to identify duplicate values. I have used Duplicate Values in Conditional formatting but cannot find a way of ensuring an exact match. For example one list has the value 4150 and the other list has other values like 5641509 and 341508, both of which contain the string 4150 but are clearly not the same value. However, the conditional formatting is picking these up as duplicate values.

I'm trying to calculate the number of rows in a matrix that have a complete row of data. I would noprmally do this using nested if formuals and a count function, but the columns of the matrix are filterable so the count won't work.
Is there a combination of functions that will adapt as I filter data?

I can count the blank cells withiin a range using
=COUNTBLANK(C6:AD2506)
But I dont want it to count the cells if the entire row, within that cell, i.e. C6:AD6, is blank.
It should only count the blank cells within a row if there has been some data entered on that row..provided it has been entered within the specified range.

I have a macro called "Copying" and this runs perfectly well when run on its' own.
I have now created the following peice of
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Sheets("form").Range("B14").Value x Then
x = Sheets("form").Range("B14").Value
End If
Application.Run "Copying"
End Sub
Which (should) run the "Copying" macro if cell B14 is changed........here is my problem.
It seems to run this macro over and over again. How can I get it to just run it once?

I'm using the calander control in Excel which is called in VBA when a user clicks on a cell in a range - the code is as follows:
' Calander for Activity Start Date and end dates

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?

I want to thank you all for the solutions/support I received in completing my (for me) difficult workbook.
I still have a tricky problem. In the example below, can Multibeep "know" when it is being called from Beep versus being excuted directly? And if so can I direct a different sequence?

Code:
Public Sub Monday()
Dim mName() As Variant
Dim lName() As Variant
Dim fName As String
Call lower(CStr(mName(q)), fName, CStr(lName(q)))

How to do is to pass the value of convert to the other procedures that are being called? As you can see I know how to pass variables down to "Sub-routines" but how would I pass the variable up?

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.)?

I'm having a hard time with this piece of
Private Sub Assign1Combo_Change()
If Range("ComboVisible") = False Then Exit Sub
Assign1_Download
End Sub
Symptoms:
- As soon as this is used, Excel/VBA can't select any range on the worksheet. For example, the following code (within the sub Assign1_Download) no longer works:
Range("firstdata").Select
Excel/VBA doesn't select that Named Range or any other range I try (ex. A1). - This problem only happens in Excel 2003. In Excel 2002 everything works fine (can make any selection).
