Function being called at inappropriate time
I have the following code in the active worksheet:
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 have a series of procedures I am calling from a function that each run fine when executed individually. These procedure are titled: DataValidation, Test1, Test2
The function will not run past Test2- I do not get the msgbox "Stage 2"
Code:
Public ArrayD
Public ArrayD2 As Variant
Public RngD3 As Range
Public Function Test(arg2 As Range)
DataValidation arg2

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 have a function in a cell triggered on the value returned by a DDE link in another cell.
e.g. cell A1 contains =function1(A2) and cell A2 contains
=ADVFN|NYSE_CAT!CUR
function1 is triggered each time the DDE link updates regardless of whether the result returned has changed or not. How do I prevent function1 being triggered if the returned value has not changed?
I'm trying to replicate the same functionality using Excel Analyzer that Lotus 123 had with it's function called Backsolver.
Below is a simple matirx of expenses, that shows a sum total of 3297. I want to change the number 3297 to 5000 and I want the rows and columns to add up to that total based on the same % relationship that existed when this matrix added to 3297
This technique is useful when you are trying to spread changes in a plan and you need to develop placeholders that add up and accross to the new target i.e, 5000 based on the previous targets % relationships that existed when the row and columns added up to 3297
I can use the analyzer, but when it finds its solution it returns negative values as part of the solution. I'm missing something in trying to set the parameters so that it won't return me negative #'s.
i need to create a function macro Called FSTD that inserts words into a cell and conditionally formats them depending on th number in the cell on the left.
in the sheet there are ranges that the number will fall between.
Example
Cell B1 is the cell were i want to run the function in
Cell A1 is the cell with the number that is used in the function
Cells A3:A7 are that ranges that i need to use in the function
E.g. if the number in A1 is less than A6 = i want "P" to appear in the cell with a red backround
if the number is greater than A6 but less than A5 = i want "M" to apear with an orange back round
if the number is Greater than A5 but less than A4 = i want "E" to apear with a green backround
even if it is possible to do without changing the backrounds, just to insert the letters
i am running a macro thru vba (beiing called from a ms access module) and am getting a RuntTimeError 1004.
the code opens a workbook...then open a second workbook (which houses the macro) then activates the desired worksheet and call the Maco via the run command but errors out.
if i open the workbook and set focus on the desired sheet ....tool>macro>desired macro name it runs fine.
the line of code in the macro is: "ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate"
I have written a user-defined function that searches for a small range within a larger range. The function requires two input parameters: the range you are looking for, and the range you want to look within.
For example, I might look for the string of values in cells A1:D1 in a larger range E1:H20. The function returns the row number in the larger range where the smaller range is found.
My problem is this: The function is working fine when I call it from another sub procedure. However, when I try to run it as a worksheet function, I get a "#VALUE!" error. The function pops up in the "insert function" menu, and it prompts for the two input parameters.
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):

I need "PC" to show up if I type a sentence containing "Called Parent", "Called Dad", or "Called Mon". Here is what I'm trying.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSuppose I have this UDF:
Public Function test()
test = ActiveCell.Column
End Function
This is great only when I evaluate the function test() one cell at a time. When I copy this formula to other cells or perform autofill Excel thinks that the active cell is the first cell in the series.
What I really want is for the function to return the column of the CELL that contains the function, and not the cell that's last clicked.
I am looking for a function to convert time given by my computer (Local time) in EST (Eastern Standard Time). We are several users of a same file (with timestamp macros) and all time need to be aligned to one time zone (EST), even if all users are working in different time zone (EST, CST and IST).

Any idea about a dynamic sum function that will do this, in combination with VBA?
I am using the count function for attendance tracking of Vacation, Personal Time, & Sick Time. (Example: = COUNTIF($F6:$CQ6, "V")
I need to be able to do half days. I have tried many different formulas/ways to incorporate the half day scenario even without using the count function with no success.
I am looking for a formula to change a condition based on the time of day. Essentially, before 1pm I would like the formula to be:
=((I12/100)*25)/D12
After 1pm I would like the formula to be
=((I12/100)*25)/B12
I tried various ways with "=if(now()> ..." formulas to no avail because of the way Excel handles Now().
D: is quantity to be made
G: is number of minutes this will take
J: is the time each order should be finished
Problem
at 12:00 work stops for lunch and resumes again at 12:30
Somehow I need this to be reflected J:
I m Trying to add some features to it and run into an issue. Here are the fields we are working with!
A1= 13:30:00 17/12/2008
(in other words 1:30pm on date given) - Need to know proper cell number format!!
B1= 23:00:00
(this represents 23 hours) - format for cell is [h]:mm:ss
C1= Unknown function
(This field is my problem!!)
Answer here SHOULD be "14:30:00 16/12/2008"
I need a function for C1 (using A1 and B1) that will give me the time and date 23 hours earlier or however many hours:mins:secs is specified in B1! Also need to know what number format to use for both A1 and C1
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?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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?
I am running this code it is rather long, but I need to show it all ?
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 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'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).
is it posible and if so how do I use the IF function to tell cell that
it has a time between 12:00 and 13:00 then add 30 minutes and if not then do nothing
I finally got an ontime code to work almost the way I want it. What it does not do correctly is necessarly copy paste information for the correct hour of the day. For example if the computer goes down it will start again copy/pasting for the next hour readings. Even if its three hours latter. The log should be blank for three hours since those hours wwere missed. My code is below, how can it be fixed to run "Capture" macro for the correct time of each day and leave the rest blank? Rich
Public LastSoon
Function Soon() 'As Date
Dim tm As Variant
tm = Now
tm = tm + 1 / 24 'next hour
tm = tm - Int(tm) 'time only (no date)
tm = Int(tm * 24) 'on the hour
tm = tm / 24 - 5 / 1440 '5 minutes before hour
Soon = tm
I have attached a workbook with various worksheets. the aim being to create a cover worksheet called "averages".
Every few days i will manually add a new worksheet in the same format as "332" i had to delete most of the data from "333" to meet the file size limit but you should still get the idea. I would like the "averages" worksheet to work out an average rating and pull the data for all competitors from all worksheets.
I All my data is obtained from 2 columns, USERS & rating which i manually copy paste to a new worksheet every few days from that info i build my basic pivot table. maybe i can gather all the USER & rating columns on the same page and use a more complicated pivot table and thus do away with all the worksheets completely? But I do like being able to easily compare each individual rating against the other competitors for that particular day.
Attached File : competitor ratings1.xls
I have a procedure that opens workbooks from a list and then searchs for a phrase given by user. If nothing is found it closes workbook and opens next one. If phrase is found it highlights it on workbook. I wanted to give user some options when phrase is found: to search further in next workbook and to search further, but leaving current workbook open. Here my misery starts.
The only way i made up to perform it was to use Userform and code: userform.ActiveControl.Name. But it seems that Userform called in other workbook than one where the module is, interrupts somehow the procedure. When workbook, where the userform was used, closes the procedure doesn't go on. Evidently Userform is the issue here as without it, macro works.
See my code below :

I have a question. Can this be done. Pass a couple of varibles back from a called sub routine?
The calling sub calls the called sub does which has code plus a couple of varibles needing to come back.
Scope: The called sub is a series of case statements with code and sets varibles which are needed back in the calling sub.
