I would like to know the easiest way to temporarily keep a worksheet code from running while I am editing, then turn it back on when I am done. I was thinking a button with these commands(?)>
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = True
but I don't know which button to use, or if I would need a button for each.
I have this code :
[Code] .....
Great Timer. Have this assigned to a button to start, how can I work in a button to stop or pause this code from running?
I have a created a form (1st one) and by reading bits from here I have managed to get it to do everything I need bar one thing. Is it possible to have the cursor return to the start of the form (Textbox) after clicking the OK button? The ok button write every thing to the sheet and the i have to tab past my other commann buttons.

Is there anyway I can stop the close form button working?
I have a vba function linked to conditional formatting that i want to temporarily stop while a sub to insert a line is running as the sub stops when it hits the sheet where the vba function operates. When i disable the vba function (or remove the vba function) the sub works fine, if the vba function is not disabled the sub stops.
View 4 Replies View Relatedwell, the clear worked well and now I have another idea for a button for my worksheet;
I want the button to insert values from other cells. so when it is clicked, the values in cells F82-F86 are entered in cells E19 - E23.
my excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation. During the first tries I had a lot of break point in my debugger. But now I want to have a button to hit or better just some keys to hit to stop it without using the ctrl+alt+del which closes everything.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've several check boxes on a worksheet. Some of the check boxes control the values of other through the _click event. However, when I try to change the value the event attached to the control in questions fires.
application.enableevents = False
would prevent events being fire from within the macro but this only seems to work when I step through the code.
I understand that I could set a global variable to do this and will probably go down this route anyway - but I am interested to know how/when I should be using the EnableEvent method (as I am sure this should be the way that I use it)
I have a program that requires the last 8 days to be total, unless there are 2 days off in a row. So my cells need to sum the previous 8, but then stop when two zeros show in the column and then restart following. One zero should continue to total the previous 8 days. As shown below, for 1/10/14 I should see 57.5. The sum needs to restart on 1/13/14 to show a total of 10.5. I have tried multiple formulas with no luck.
Col A Col B
1/5/140
1/6/1412
1/7/1412
1/8/1412
1/9/1411
1/10/1410.5
1/11/140
1/12/140
1/13/1410.5
1/14/1411

I've seen a lot of timestamp solutions but none of them fit my needs. Also my VBE skills are not good enough to create this. So here's the problem:
I've got 3 columns E,F en H. H contains a validation list with 3 options OK, NOK and OPEN.
If H is NOK I would like E and F to be blank. If H is OPEN I would like E to contain a start date wich doesn't update. If H is OK I would like F to contain an end date wich doesn't update.
I have a link set up in an Excel document that plays a .wav audio file. The problem is it just plays the file. No media player comes up and I need to be able to manipulate the file when it is playing (i.e. stop, pause, play, Ffwd, Rew). Can someone tell me how to link the audio file up with a player? I am using a Windows based system. Unfortunately, Mac not available to me.

I'm using ="*"&A(x)&"*" to create the necessary barcodes. Some of my inventory numbers have leadings zeros that need to be included. The formula above is eliminating the 0's and how to get them to show. I've tried a custom number formatting but that isn't working for me.
I have a spreadsheet that has
worksheet_calculate and also worksheet_changes, its a combination of the 2...
and it's purpose is to make a record of the number every time it changes by populating it into the next row, so I end up having a very long data list
and what happens is that my spreadsheet has real-time data coming into one cell which makes it constantly changing....
needless to say, when my spreadsheet is opened, it starts to do it immediately...and it wont stop as long as the number keeps on changing.
I would like to make 2 buttons - one says START, one says STOP
and when I click on START, then it will start making record of this number and when I click STOP, then it stops recording the changes of this number.
I have created an ActiveX command button and the text on the button looks crude. I know that is not very descriptive but I am unsure how to describe it. The text looks jagged and some letters are missing chunks of their letters. The font I have chosen is Calibri.
If I create a Form Controls button I do not have this problem but I want the button to have a particular background color so I do not believe I can use a Form Controls button.
I do not know why the other Calibri text on the worksheet looks fine while the ActiveX Calibri text does not. The attached image shows the two buttons with the top one being the ActiveX button while the bottom is a Forms button.
Is there a way in VBA to reference the activeX button which has been clicked? Like a ThisWorkbook equivalent for a button?
I have quite a few button whereby they set a parameter for a procedure 'TrendData' based on the row they sit in. Currently I just have the row number hard coded i.e. Call TrendData(5) but I want to amend this so that when I add a row it doesn't offset all my buttons.
For Example
Call TrendData(CommandButton3.TopLeftCell.Row)
However instead of typing CommandButton3, CommandButton4, etc. I would like the code to know which button had been clicked and just use that?
I have searched high and low and cannot seem to find an answer. I have inserted an ActiveX button in a cell to run 3 macros when pressed. I cannot get the 4-letter name on the button to appear centered on the button, unless I make the button larger than the cell, which I do not want to do.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to create a datasheet to track the actual time an agent takes a break or lunch. Here is an example of the data that I am using.
name Date Lunch Sch Brk1 Sch Brk 2 Actual Time

BrandonHolt8/19/201411:10 8:30 1:20 12:57:46 Lunch
Because I have two break times, possibility of more depending on the agent, how do i create a formula that will look at this data, take the schedule time for say break one and only apply that against the time that is more in line with the closest actual time?
How can I make XL (2000) display the macro start/stop recording and relative/absolute box that used to appear whenever I started recording a macro?
Such an apparently simple issue, but I can't resolve it!
Somehow I lost this small box, and I know how to force it to display via customize, but it doesn’t seem to work the same (relative does not work as such) and the buttons or box disappear.
The company I work for does not use the usual calendar dates and uses a modified calendar. As an example, the month of January is Dec 31 thru Jan 27, February is Jan 28 thru Feb 24 and so on. I need to group data using a pivot table and summarize data by month, but as I just described above, calendar months will not work. Is there a way to modify what Excel sees as monthly dates?

I'm running into an issue with my ActiveX Option Buttons where they change appearance on click, rendering my transparent settings moot.

I have created several macros where i use an active-X control button. This button is pressed and the macro begins...........but every now and again this button changes size for no apparent reason.
I have read countless articles/posts about what "may" be causing the problem but i have never read anything which clearly identifies the soln to this problem and the problem has been out there for years. To make matters worse the problem can not be duplicated on any regular frequency that i am aware of............so its not like i can post a file that will show the problem.............
I am creating a status board at work... Kinda like an In/out board.
I created a toggle button and using it as the persons named. I want them to be able to go to the excel sheet on our intranet. Be able to click their name (toggle button) and it change the off cell from red to white and the on cell from white to green. Then they can save the excel sheet and close out for the next person.
edit: I would also need it to go back once they click it when they leave.
I have created the active x button, but so far the only thing I can do is get the 1 cell it effects to say true/false.
I have made an excel workbook detailing team performance that all of my team have access to and that requires updating once a day. The first person to access the workbook each day presses a Command Button that updates the workbook and inserts a time/date stamp. However, other members of the team go into the workbook and update it again the same day which then affects the data being reported.
I know i should probably just sack them for not being able to read the time and date but HR would not like that so is there a way to disable CommandButton1 (ActiveX) so that once it is pressed it is disables until the next day?
I am putting several buttons into my spread sheet and would prefer to use ActiveX controls rather than form controls. But I also need to hide the buttons from the end user (controls are to update data and will be used by the person who maintains the workbook). When I go to hide the columns, the ActiveX button doesn't hide with it. On the other hand, if I use a Form Control Button instead, it does indeed disappear when I hide the columns. Is there any way to get the ActiveX button to hide when hiding the columns?
View 9 Replies View Related I am using the following code to copy a template to a new worksheet each month:
Code:
Sub CopyTemplateNewMonth()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim SourceRange As Range, DestRange As Range

Everything copies over except an Activex Control button. I also have form control buttons with macros assigned to them, and they copy & paste just fine. The code assigned to the ActiveX button also copy's & paste's just fine...but the button itself does not.
I have a small project at work where I am being asked to put a simple spread sheet that will calculate a start/stop time - and also include the date. For example:
Start time 5pm, date: 3/13. The spread sheet to auto calculate what the stop time and date will be if a specific amount of hours is to be calculated. For example in this case, 12 hours. From calculating in my head that would be 5am the following day. However, how can I get this in excel to work and therefore all i would have to do is enter the start time and date, + 12 hrs, and excel would calculate the time/date after the additional 12 hrs.
I have a piece of code that put a check in all checkbox in column B from row 5 to row 50 but in column C, I have data from row 5 to 38. I want the macro to stop at row 38 in column B. When the cell in column C is empty stop putting checks in column B. How can I make this macro Check all checkbox down column B and stop when column C is empty. How do I add a loop to stop when the cell in column C is empty?
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim CB As Variant
For Each CB In ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes
CB.Value = False
Next
End Sub.......
I designed my spreadsheet incorrect.
Everything works good. But when I selecting tables with listbox, I forgot to notice that there also comboboxes.
I mean, rwgrietveld, I use selecting table to hide 'em, but when I hide 'em comboxes should also disappear (become invisible).
is it possible at all to make invisible activex commandbutton in selection?
Can Active-X control button macro be placed in a regular module, or does it always have to reside in the sheet module?
Or is the only way to accomplish this is to have the macro in the regular module being called from the button macro in the sheet module?
I somehow seem to remember a way to move/assign an Active-X ControlButton macro to a regular module, but maybe I'm wrong?
