Excel Crashing When Copying Tab?
Apr 28, 2014
My Excel file crashes whenever I attempt to make a copy of a tab, within the same workbook, and then save. This problem only occurs with its existing naming convention. In other words, the file crashes with the name "Cash Flow Model 5 Year Plan". If I rename the file to "Copy of Cash Flow Model 5 Year Plan" then it works perfectly, with no issues copying a tab within the workbook. The file size is not too large, as this issue never occurred when the model was twice the size.

I made an Excel/VBA solution for a company in which userforms were created and manipulated programatically, including their code modules. They would then be deleted so next time they were created there wasn't naming errors.
They acted as data input forms which would have an input control for each column of data on the sheet.
There was one method which would create the form and then call another to add code to it's code module.
In one scenario, if the user would do data entry on one sheet and then immediately after do data entry on the same sheet using the data entry forms.
When this occurred something peculiar happened, after the method which added the code to the code module executed excel would crash. By putting a MsgBox to pop up just before the End Sub statement and having another in the calling function immediately after the procedure call. It became evident that the sub adding code to the module was not exiting correctly and causing the program to crash.
In essence the program was crashing when End Sub was executed

I have to send out emails to all of my staff with their new login ID's and PW's and other misc information one by one to each user. Reason being is that all ID's, PW's and other information pertains to that specific user and includes sensitive information.
I know there's a VBA script I can use to send out the emails, but the script I found online keeps crashing my Outlook and requires it to go through my personal inbox which takes 15 minutes every time.
I have the pertinent information split up into different columns/cells.
A1: email
A2: subject
A3: body (ID, PW, verbage)
A4: attachment link (if required)
A5: if I could have Outlook automatically stamp each email with my signature that'd be awesome as well.

I have a semi-large macro which I have been creating on and off for a few months now. The file will fundementally be used by people with little knowledge of Excel, hence I force the user down certain alleyways depending on what they have previously done with the aid of veryhidden sheets and such like.
Upon opening the file, some code is ran to hide all of the sheets in the file apart from the home page. This is a pain when I am still working on the code though, so a portion of it is commented out. When I uncomment the "on error.. - next sheetIn" so that the file runs as it would be used, the code itself works perfectly and hides all of the sheets apart from the home page. Unfortunately, I can't then view the VBA code as it instantly crashes Excel (and any other Excel file I currently have open). This happens whether I click the Visual Basic button in the Excel ribbon, whether I try and access it through the design mode on a control, pressing Alt+F11 or even opening up another spreadsheet containing code and attempting to click on the broken macro after viewing the VBA code for the working spreadsheet.
VB:
Sub workbook_open()
'stop screen flickering whilst running the code
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
[Code]....
The only way currently to get back into the code is to open the spreadsheet up with macros disabled and recomment the code, but obviously this loses the function of the code.

I have a report that uses external data to feed a Pivot Table.
I noticed that the data source had been turned off automatically by Excel and turned it on and added the file location to the trust centre.
I also set the data to refresh when the workbook is opened.
I saved the file and then tried to refresh the data which caused Excel to crash. Of course now I can't open the file either because when it attempts to refresh itself on opening that causes Excel to crash as well.
Addendum: I have removed the Trusted Location which has caused Excel to disable the connection again. This has solved the crash on opening but I still can't refresh the data.

I've been trying to put together a function in excel which will make it simpler and a bit clearer to produce the coefficients of trend lines in cells. I want to produce an excel function like SLOPE and INTERCEPT but for exponential, power and logarithmic trendlines. For example, I can produce the coefficients for an exponential trendline like this:
Code:
=SLOPE(LN(K2:K11);J2:J11)
=EXP(INTERCEPT(LN(K2:K11);J2:J11))
Ideally, I want to be able to do so without the need to convert the terms with LN function, and be able to replace it with a new function that deals directly with an X Range and a Y range
I've produced the following code:
Code:
Function PowerSlope(YRange As Range, XRange As Range)
For Loops = 1 To YRange.Count
YRange.Value2(Loops, 1) = Log(YRange.Value2(Loops, 1))
Next Loops
PowerSlope = Application.WorksheetFunction.Slope(YRange, XRange)
End Function
However, this causes Excel to crash and shut down (not the macro itself, but the entire program). I can't even get the function to run to a break point in the first line before the crash happens. I'm able to remove the FOR ... NEXT loop and use the function to directly return the result of the linear slope, so I'm confident the issue is not in that part of the code.

I'm building a bookkeeping workbook that is only currently 800kb with TWO cells that have data validation and no cells have conditional formatting. There are a fair few formulae but they are all simply SUM, SUMIF and CONCATENATE.

I have a genuine copy of office pro 2010. All works fine except excel!
It seems to be mainly on one workbook I have brought over from open office and on a mac! It wont save due to errors it won't tell you about? It then stops responding or crashes? Wont save as etc....
I have repaired, I have even deleted and downloaded a new office pro genuine and installed and doing the same so i guess it has to be the file?
BUT it seems to work on another laptop we have, same file, same excel????
The only thing i seem to be able to find is in the permissions it has an "unknown account"? Also under the file menu where it allows you to check the file it states something about conditional formatting i have used and not being compatible BUT i cant for the life of me find that in the menus to get rid?

I recently received an .xls book which I then saved as .xlsx (I'm using 2010). There are just under 8,000 rows and 20 columns. File Size 1MB.
The only formulas in the sheet are the ones in a column which I inserted and copied down for all 8,000 rows. Nothing too complicated: no arrays or anything. The sheet calculates fine.
I am simply trying to copy and paste these formulas as values (into the same cells), though at every attempt Excel crashes. I tried on smaller sets of the column and just got it to work for a few hundred rows, though it struggles with any more than that.
I opened a different workbook of mine, and tried the same operation on twice as many cells containing complicated, lengthy array formulas and the action completed instantly.
There is no Conditional Formatting in the book, no code, no 'last cell' issue, no Named Ranges, no external links.
I have even copied the data to a new workbook, then copied the text of just one of the formulas over into this book, added an equals sign, copied down and recalculated, then tried to paste as values again. Still crashes.
Formula:
=IF(AND(N3>1,ROWS($1:1)<>MATCH(M3,$M$3:$M$7979,0)),"Exact Duplicate","")
is far more resource-hungry than I thought, though if that were the case, wouldn't the issue be during calculation (which, as I said, is fine) and not during a paste attempt? No, it can't be this.

I have one simple (but large table). It has dates across the top (formatted in hh format). I would like the associated table to format according to the day and also to format differently when there is a public holiday. So I have built a table with the holidays and named the relevant cells as "Holiday_Valid".
I have the following formula in the conditional formatting;
[Code]....
Where D11 has the current day in question and Holiday_Valid is a list of public holidays. Since there is a cell for each hour of each day I am using "int()".
There is a second conditional format to format Sundays differently as below;
[Code] .....
My problem is that these both work well....but then after a few minutes the whole sheet crashes with those dreaded "Trying to recover your data" and "Excel will restart" etc.
I have removed references to named ranges and so far - so good....but this means putting the validation table in the same sheet as the main table. In the past I have been able to use named ranges (albeit not in such convoluted formulae), but now it seems that it is not working any longer.
When I open the recovered sheet, all the conditional formatting has been removed and the message from the repairs is that there was some invalid conditional formatting.
Extensive web searches did show some issues with conditional formatting using names ranges....especially with frozen panes....which I need use with a sheet this big.

I've been putting together an automated spreadsheet that has external data sources to SQL. I have been having some strange problems with it between versions of Excel. Unfortunately, the company's standard is 2003 but quite a lot of the company use 2007. I have been developing this report on 2007, the server that runs the automated version of the spreadsheet runs 2003 (and cannot be upgraded beyond 2003 as it is running Server 2000!).
The template opens fine on my 2007 machine and all development work has been run on my machine including the downloading of data. The VBA script runs something like

I have a large model, and it sometimes starts having very strange errors. The workbook sometimes becomes corrupted, giving a:
"Microsoft Excel has encounted a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the incovenience"
"AppName: excel.exe AppVer: 10.0.6823.0 ModName: kernel32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2945 Offset: 00012a5b"
error when I try to close the spreadsheet. One of the sheets can have a lot of data (up to 10,000 x 150) and the error will also occur if I try and delete the sheet, or clear the entire sheet. Also, the model runs vba code, which at one point deletes the data sheet and adds a new sheet. However, sometimes the sheets.add functionality stop working, i.e. when the code runs the sheets.add line, nothing happens. I don't know if the errors are related.

I had this code working perfectly. However in the last 24 hours it has started freezing on me. Here is the code:
' This code will dynamically hide or unhide rows based on whether a row contains a transaction
Sub hideRows()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Sheet1.Unprotect Password:="University"
[Code] .....
I call the code into a Worksheet_Change module on a particular sheet (Sheet1). It hides rows between 11 to 1503, but if I innocently select these rows, the spreadsheet freezes on me & I have to kill Excel. I'm guessing I need to add code to counter these do nothing events?

The spreadsheet is essentially a VBA GUI that validates information entered before writing it to a sheet in the workbook. There is a button on the first sheet that opens the GUI, and when the workbook is first used the GUI opens and runs fine. After adding a few rows using the GUI, saving the workbook, and then reopening it, attempting to open the GUI by clicking on the button will cause Excel to crash (and no errors are given). To compound the problem, it is not possible to find the issue by using the debugger, as the GUI runs fine as soon as VisualBasic is opened. I've tried to narrow it down by using MsgBoxes to find the approximate location where the form crashes, and it seems to happen when the .ListIndex property of a ComboBox is set inside the UserForm_Initialise method. I've played around for days trying to narrow it down further, removing .ListIndex statements as much as possible without breaking the entire thing.

Not come across this issue before where the Code works once then fails to iterate!
In attached file 140405 Loop not working.xlsm, for each cell in C4:C27 on the Inventory Sheet, the Code should:
Look in the Data Input sheet.
Find the Item Number in Col B corresponding to the number in Col A of the Inventory Sheet.
Find the quantity on the Data Input sheet corresponding to that number.
Copy the quantity into Col H of the Inventory sheet.
The Code works for the first row then throws error message "Run Time error 13" Type Mismatch!
VB:
Sub OFFLOAD()
Dim Dest As Range, Dest1 As Range, oCell As Range
Set Dest = Sheet2.Range("C:C")
Set Dest1 = Sheet2.Range("B:B")
Sheets("INVENTORY").Select
[Code] .....

If I type in
=A1
=A6
highlight both cells, and drag down from the bottom right corner, instead of counting every 5 cells, it assigns the next one as =A3 like so:
=A1
=A6
=A3
=A8
=A5
=A10
Why does it not see that A1 and A6 are 5 apart and do something like this:
=A1
=A6
=A11
=A16
=A21
=A26

I am trying to write a macro to do the following. I have data validation list in column G which will come back as either "Closed" "Pending" or "Completed". What I want to happen is when anyone changes a value in that column to "Closed" or "Completed" I want to cut the entire row (Columns A-G) and paste those rows on the "archive" tab which exists in the same worksheet. Then on the main sheet, I then need excel to shift the contents of the row beneath the row that was just cut up to fill in the blank row.

I'm trying to write a macro that looks in cell A1:VGH1 for the text "Name:" within the row, then copy that cell and other following cells and paste into a new row. This macro can loop through the row until all instances of the text "Name:" and the following cells are on their own row.
What I have currently.
Name:xxx From:xxx Name:xxx To:xxx From:xxx Name:xxx: To:xxx
The result
Name:xxx From:xxxx
Name:xxx To:xxx From:xxxx

(Excel 2007). I have a report that I download which looks like this: The actual report has about 10000+ lines
I don't really want a macro for it but a formula that would copy the name in column A down in Column C but only to the point where the next name starts. So for example James Brown would be copied down in Column C till it reach Account Number 81914 and so on?

I am running Excel 2007.
I have set up a table and for ease of explanantion Column C has a formulas in it to add together the values found in Column A and B.
EG C3 foumula = "=sum(A3+B3)"
Now in cols d & e I have manually entered figures and in colum F I want to add up those figures so F3 should read "=sum(D3+E3)"
In the past I have always been able to just copy the cell C3 and paste it into F3 and the formula would automatically copy and offset the various cells to the correct cells for the new posiitoning.
However, for some reason when I copy the cell, it now pastes the value only into the pasted cell and does not copy the formula, if I click on paste special to try to just copy the formula I now get a pop up asking me if I want to paste as Unicode Text or Text.
I have no recollection of changing any settings.

Copying data that is in one coloumn in an unsorted order to another file where I have the values in a specific order I want. There I want it sorted in a new row each time I click a button in the first file.
I have a script that does this in a new column each time. I need it in a new row in a table to keep the graphs auto updating without having to use a macro in the end file. Current VBA that copies it to a new column instead of a new row in the table (modified to remove file names).
How the current VBA works. It refreshes the file it is in to update the data from SQL, then opens the other file, copies it over using sumif compared to the first coloumn in the file. Adds the current date, copies everything it added and replaces it with values so the formula isn't kept once it saves and closes the file. It then saves the start file and stops.
Code:
ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"File2.xlsx"

I have problems copying data (from notepad, values are in scientific notation) into Excel 2010 worksheet. This problem only occurs with one of my laptops. I also tried this on my partner's laptop and no problem at all.
My new laptop (which I would like to use in the lab) has Windows 7 professional installed on it. I bought my laptop in Austria/Germany, so I changed the language from German to English. I then installed Microsoft Office 2010 on my laptop (which I am also using on my main laptop- without any issues). I have changed my default language to English UK.
The issue is as follows: Here is a small sample of the data from notepad
3.33343e-03 1.51357e-03 0.00000e+00 0.00000e+00 4.96507e-01 3.84643e-03 6.24332e+00 1.81305e+03
I select & copy the data from the notepad (also tried notepad++) and paste it into the Excel 2010 worksheet. This is what I get in Excel:
3.33E+02 1.51E+02 0.00E+00 0.00E+00 4.97E+04 3.85E+02 6.24E+05 1.81E+08
When I use another spreadsheet package (MagicPlot Student version), there are no problems. I have also installed Notepad++ and experience the same issue. So somehow Excel is increasing the value by 5 orders of magnitude. When I copy the values from another Excel sheet into a new Excel sheet, there are no problems. I have re-installed the Microsoft Office suite several times and the problem is still there. I can't re-install Windows 7 as I don't have the installation discs.

I am creating many tables in excel using a macro, and I want to copy them into a word document for later use. All the tables come from a long list, so for simplicity, they all get created on the same range starting at F1. Before deleting the existing table and adding the new one, I'm trying to copy/cut the table and paste it into a word document.
In case it makes a difference, I have office 2007
VB:
Sub ExcelToWord(LastRow)
Dim objWord As Word.Application
Range("F1:F" & LastRow).Copy
With objWord
.Documents.Add
.Selection.Paste
.Visible = True

cannot seem to get a function that works.
I have a sheet named "Master" with student reference numbers (A2), student names (B2/C2) and their four subjects (D2, E2, F2, G2).
I need a separate sheet for each subject, so potentially 30 additional sheets, and i would like for where a subject is mentioned in one of the four columns of the master, the students reference and names would then be copied and pasted into a row on that subject specific sheet. Leaving the subject sheets with a list of names and numbers of the students studying.
So you would have a student on the master sheet and then they would appear on four additional subject sheets.
Ideally it would also update subject sheets as new students are added. And additional information is being added to the subjects sheets so they cannot be cleared.

For Mac Excel 2011, though I think my question would apply to any modern version of Excel.
This is a little odd. I have a sheet where, for various reasons (see below ### if interested), I need to copy a hyperlink, replace a substring, and then return the new hyperlink (with old friendly text) to the original cell. (I actually have to do this with an arbitrarily-long column of links.) This was my plan of attack:
* Pull the URL from the hyperlink cell.
* Use FIND and RIGHT to strip out what I need and replace it
* Use HYPERLINK to build a new cell with the original friendly text and the new hyperlink.
* (Manually) copy this new link (really, a column of links) back to the original cell (really, column of cells).
Here's where it breaks down:
a) If I simply cut-and-paste, the formula used to pull the hyperlink becomes circular (as do several others), and Excel complains.
b) If I cut-and-paste-special (values only), I get just the friendly text, no link info. Likewise if I try to reference the "fixed" hyperlink.
The erroneous hyperlinks are in column K. My calculated correct hyperlinks are in column S. (There are similar errors and fixes in L and T, respectively.)

I am able to make a button- thats easy, but how do I get it to run for ANY workbook? My problem is that apparently it only runs the workbook that is named a certain way. should i post the code here?

Scenario is - n number of files are kept at a location say D:excelfiles
Each excel file contains, say, 10 sheets among them one sheet is called "custom".
Example -
file 1 - sheet1, sheet2, sheet3, custom, sheet5, sheet6
file 2 - sheet7, sheetB, custom, sheet9, sheet10, sheet11, sheet12
file 3 - sheet13, sheet14, sheet15, sheet16, custom, sheet17, sheet18, sheet19
and so on.
Requirement - all cell values of each "custom" sheet should get copied into a master excel sheet in file "import-sheets.xlsm".
To achieve this I started with copying each custom sheet from all excel files to the "import-sheets.xlsm" but I'm getting error.
Any way to directly copy paste the cell values of each "custom" sheet into a single master sheet of excel file "import-sheets.xlsm".
Attachment - dummy files to test macro. Macro name is copypaste.
