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'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:
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 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
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 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 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'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.
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.
is it possible that when i open a .csv file in excel i can make it only display some of the columns? The program i am using exports more info then i need and it gets very tiresome to delete each column manually.
I am in need of a macro. I have a column with Image No.s around 900. What i want is as soon as i click on a image No. in a cell, the image has to pop up in excel itself(Not in particular cell). The images are in separate folder in the same directory. I have to view the images only(not inserting). Just Pop up the image and as soon as i click on next image no. macro has to remove the old image and in that place new image has to pop up.
I produced several charts in Excel 2007. They display just fine when using Excel 2007, but when we try to open it in our office computers (which uses Excel 2010), the Axis and Legend Labels simply vanish.I know there's these fixes for Excel 2007, deleting a buggy MS hotfix or installing the KB2597962 fix. But the problem is, I need it to display in our Excel 2010 computers.
I have an Excel 2007 workbook which has five sheets in. I just wondered whether it is possible to hide all five of them when the workbook is first opened. Also I would like the user to be asked for a password when they wish to unhide a sheet, with the password being different for each of the sheets.
Is there also a way to do this which won't be affected by Excel disabling all Macros when the application initially opens.
I now have XL 2007 but no longer work at the same place so do not have access to the external data source. I would like to view the SQL statements that I wrote back then but keep getting error that I am not connected to external data source and so cannot see my sql statements. I have MS Query 2007.
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
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 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.
Is there a way so that on his computer he can tell Excel that each sheet to be viewed should have a standard/automatic view set to 100% or another percentage?
I do not want to send each rep a file only with their own sales figures as this will be very time consuming. If I could send one file to all representatives but restrict their view to their own figures only, this would make life much easier. If necessary I can set up passwords for them.
I am not sure why but when I opened a particular file, the file hides somewhere in Excel. I am unable to view the file but when I try to open the same file again, Excel prompts that the file is already open but I can't see the file.This is an important file at work and I am not sure how to actually get to view the file. I tried copy and pasting the file in another location and then trying to open in Excel. However, the same thing happened.There is no error message.The file is opened but I am unable to view, as it seems to hide from view.Is there a solution?
I have large workbook with various sheets. In my first worksheet I have some command buttons that call each sheet as needed. However, I would like each sheet to be displayed either as a web page or in a way that the user does not see all of the menus, bars and so on.
I'm trying to open a .xlsm on an Android tablet with only OfficeSuite installed. Initially, that didn't work. After installing a DocumentsToGo application, it shows me my spreadsheet, but none of the .jpg's that are visible in the original file. I copied all .jpg's to the tablet; both the .xlsm and the folder with the pictures are in the same parent folder, to simulate the original folder structure in Windows. Still the pictures will not show.
I have a workbook containing a number of spreadsheets. Some of the spreadsheets are user inputs. The results of the user inputs drive a number of final reports. The final reports (i.e. spreadsheets) are hidden from the user (I don't want the user to be overwhelmed with so many tabs when they open the excel spreadsheet).
I created on the main input tab spreadsheet the following:
1. Check boxes - so that user can select after making his/her inputs the reports that he/she wants to view or print.
Say there are 4 reports (call them Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3, Sheet4 - therefore, 4 check boxes. Through the Format Control, the checkboxes have cell links that yield TRUE (if selected) or FALSE if not selected - linked to cells A1, A2, A3, A4 respectively.
2. Option buttons - one for view and another one for print. Through the Format Control, the View and Print option buttons have cell links to cell A5 yielding 1 for View and 2 for Print.
3. Command button - that will clear the check boxes
Issue I would like to know if there is a way to code in VBA to:
1. Unhide the spreadsheets corresponding to the check boxes if selected;
2. Print the spreadsheets corresponding to the check boxes if selected for printing; and
3. Clear the checked boxes to unchecked if the Command button is clicked.
I'm struggling with coding to perform the above tasks.
I have a excel file with around 8 sheets in it and this file puted in the network to be shared with 8 persons So i need to make an individual password for each one to enter to his specific sheet and have full authorization to make anything in it and this done using userform where each one when open the file in the network , a user form open in first stage to select his name and put his own password with the ability to let each one to make his own password or change it from the userform
this file is shared so it may more one user open it and it may be there an save funtion at same time ( same time & same activities )
I am looking for the code to keep certain cells from being rested on, they can be clicked on but in order for you to view the formula in the cell you have to hold down the mouse button otherwise it will move you over to the cell next to it. I was using another worksheet a while ago and was trying to view the formulas but when I clicked on the cells holding them it would move me to the next cell, the only way I could view them was to hold the mouse button down as soon as I would release it it would be gone! I do not want to protect the sheet, if there is another way to hide formulas I am open to all ideas!
