Sep 19, 2007I have some code that launches a msgbox and I would like to have the code continue to execute with the msgbox displayed rather than wait for the user to click OK/Cancel.

I would like the user prompt to ask the following ? ---> "Would you like to move the data sheet forward 1 week?". Then if "Yes" is selected, run the following macro. If "No", end the subroutine.
Private Sub CommandButton6_Click()

Selection.Copy
Range("L7").Select

Using Excel 2003 with WinXP. I'm trying to run macro code automatically whenever time = 9:30:01 (or whatever time I pick) for a stock market trading program, which is why the exact time matters so much. I've been able to get the time to update fine, but unless I click on the worksheet while the time condition is TRUE then my code doesn't run. The time actually is sent to me from the stock data provider and it shows up in a cell as a constantly updating value.
I've tried using the Workbook_SheetChange function and OnTime method, but without luck.
In both cases, unless I activate the sheet the code doesn't run. By activate, I mean that I have to click on the sheet when the values that trigger the code to run would be true. If I do that it works just fine, but sitting around and clicking on a worksheet defeats the purpose of automation. Since I'm trading stocks this has to be very exact, so I can't trust a macro scheduler to do this.
The code further below is what I'm trying to get to run. The time value is in cell L1. In cell L2 I have the following
Assume a cell -- say A1 -- has a long formula in it. If I select A1, press F2 to "Enter" the cell, then I have a blinking 'l' indicating the cursor/pointer position WITHIN the cell.
Is there any way to control the position of the blinking 'l' (or whatever it is called)? For instance, in a long formula, I would like to write a macro which could transport the blinking 'l' to midway into the formula string.
Alternatively, can I make a partial selection WITHIN a cell and run a macro on it. For instance, if cell B1 has a heading "Dec 2007" and I highlight just the "Dec" portion of the string, I would like to execute a macro to color it red. I have a simple macro that can do it to the entire cell, but not to only part of the cell contents. Is there any way for VBA to be active when I am WITHIN a cell.
Sub Font_Red()
'will add red color to ActiveCell font
Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 3
End Sub
how could I use string to execute VBA. For example
x=10
mystring1="for i =1" & " to " & CStr(x)
mystring2="msgbox i"
mystring3 ="next i"
execute mystring1 & mystring2 & mystring1
Like this, I want to combine a VBA CODE string.
And use this string to execute VBA

Is it possible to write a macro that can import VBA code in a text file then execute it? I need this functionality as I have produced a corporate spreadsheet template that goes out to many people and I will need to be able to update it as requirements change once it has been distributed. So my idea was to build a macro in the template that has the code in it to import the "update code" from a text file that I would send to all the folks that have the template. If the template was centralized, that would save me from this issue but it is however going to be distributed widely.

For now it is performing almost the way i wish, the data is displayed as the code loops thruogh a range (K6:N2000) when the condition is met.

For r = 6 To 2000

I've attached a sample workbook in which there are 3 macro-buttons.
The buttons will paste a shape in the active cell. So this means the buttons themselves could be deleted and replaced with a shape.
Since locking and then protecting the cells disables the macros, how can I amend the code to make sure the buttons' cells are protected from the copying and pasting macros? Or, how do I ensure that the macros only work in A1 - E5?
I have recently used a before_close event on this workbook to save a backup of the open file to another location on my system. This works fine but I was wondering if there was some more code I could add to only execute this event on a write access basis.
The file I use can be viewed by anyone on the network as read-only and only certain users with a password can edit/update with a write access password.
The backup event is use executes every time the document is closed be it read-only or write-access.
Ideally I would like to add some code to only execute this backup if the file is opened on a write-access basis.
I need to be able to hide and unhide a given set of rows based on the value in a particular cell. My current code allows me to successfully do this, ONLY, when I select the cell being 'watched' for changes and press enter. It does not execute the code automatically.
The cell is changed by a set of filters that modifies the data. The watched cell is then a summation of the filter modified cells. If the filters change to all "0" or "-" then my 'watched' cell sum becomes "0" and thus should execute the code automatically.
Current Code:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
ActiveSheet.Outline.ShowLevels RowLevels:=3
If Range("I62").Value = "0" Then
Rows("63:87").Hidden = True
End If
End Sub
So, right now if I use the filter and the cells change then the sum in I62 becomes "0", I have to manually select cell I62 and press enter and which point the above code executes exactly as I intend.
I need the execution part to be automatic and not have to manual click into cell I62.
I want to change this so there is a MsgBox vbYesNo button below where it tells you what cells are found & says:
"Is this what your searching for?" If yes Box closes. If No Continues Search.
How would I go about adding it to the code below?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter searching this board, I am using a check for this issue to alert when the problem occurs, but I'm hoping to tell Excel to fix the problem itself. The issue occurs when a set of data equals 100%, but when fewer decimals are displayed, the displayed total equals 101% or 99%.
Example:
0.6%
1.6%
97.8%
(Now when the display is changed to no decimal points)
1%
2%
98%
As you can see, the data appears to total 101%, and my boss is being a (insert any comment you probably have about your boss) about me not manually reviewing every single report that goes out for this 1% difference. As there are probably 400 different points at which this situation can occur on a daily basis, working harder is not the solution. /rant
I thought I once heard about a formula or setting where Excel will only calculate the displayed values instead of the actual value or formula. Ideally, the formula would know to take the three values, figure out the 100% limitation, and round the largest one down so the other two can round up. The example above is probably 99% applicable, as we would be rounding the largest value down in order to round the other values up.
Meaning intended result:
1%
2%
97%
I've data from A1 till G1. Now I will hide column B & D I just want to have total of displayed columns that must ignore values written in column B & D

it exits the sub which apparently means .Execute is not > to 0.
So my question is, what does the line If .Execute() > 0 checks?
I am 101% sure that there are pdf files under the ToPath folder.
I'm using code from the Ozgrid page: http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/loop-through.htm
However, once I get to the if statement If .Execute > 0... it does not contain a value. The folder contains 16 files in it, but .Execute does not recognize any of them. Is there a specific library or call that I'm missing??
I've been battling this for sooo long, I just dont know what to do with it.
I have a worksheet I use at work that calculates volume proccesed hourly, and also shows a running total as you enter hourly figures into the table, my question is can you hide everything in the result cell until the figures for each hour are entered ? currently all the result cells have irrelevant numbers in them until you enter the hours figure and the formulas do there thing, I could relly do with them being blank until the relevant hours information is input?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want no time functionality nor any calculation of the entries. I simply want to type into a cell for example: 0908 and have it displayed as 09:08. I tried custom formatting the cell to hh:mm but then it displays as 00:00.
This is for a real-time incident logging sheet and the less the operator has to type, the better. I know it is only an extra Shift+: but it will be so much easier without having to do it.
I like the way the names auto fill. Though would ilke to have it so say when roc is entered it shows as a dropdown so you can see that there are more than one ROCHESTER.
Like a search i guess, That would be valid to the first to letters. so if you had name donald, david & daffy when D is entered it showes all three then when DA is showes only David & daffy.
The project that i will 1st use this on is a contact address ph book.
I am just wondering if there is a way to allow a macro to continue running in the background once a userform has been displayed? I have disapled the 'close' button and the last action of the macro is to re-enable it.
