How do you get macros to be universally accessible as functions without using the "personal.xls!" prefix? For instance I have the macro testmacro(), and if I do "personal.xls!testmacro(...)" it works fine, but if I just do "testmacro(...)" it gives me a "# NAME?" error. I have PERSONAL.xls (which is in the XLStart folder) as a hidden window. I tried unhiding and re-hiding it
View 5 RepliesSo i have a macro that i wrote that willclean up these datafeeds that i get. i want to be able to use them for each spreadsheet. So the first bit i tried was saving a personal.xls file in the xlstart folder in XP (MSE 2003) . That would automatically pull up but when i tried to run the macro on other worksheets i get the generic 400 error.
the next thing i tried was copying the macro to a module and adding function tags and taking out the sub tags. i then "saved" that in the addins folder then tried assiging my custom button to is through the macros prompt. When i gave the title box the absolute path to the addins folder with clean.xla cited it said it was invalid, so i tried saving it just as clean.xla expecting it to locate the file there anyway.
this far each time i try to run the macro globally it says it cant find the current sheetname!macroname So i must be missing a step somewhere... can anyone give advice, i have searched the forum and couldnt find a similar problem for solutions.
I need to copy several macros from the Personal Macro workbook to a new workbook that I need to take to another computer. I need to be able to run the macros on that computer. I can only record macros and make minor changes in the VB editor. I do not know VB code.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have never used or created a Macro before. I have worked out how to record one etc. What I would like to know is, is it possible to design a macro and whenever an excel workbook is opened it will list all the Macro's you have created so that you can just action on any sheet or work book.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI wondered if I could pick your brains and hopefully get some answers to my problem. I have recently been using the Personal.xls worksheet to make all my Macros available to all open workbooks so that I don't have to cut and paste Macros each time I wanted to use them.
Now I know you sometimes have to make certain adjustments to Macros in order to make them work globally. I wondered if I could find out how to amend the codes below to make them work properly. Thanks.
The first code Macro below deletes all worksheets in a workbook except for the currently active sheet. However it no longer works.
Everytime I open Excel, the personal.xls file opens. What does one need to do to have the personal.xls file available as an option to save macros to, and have it open in the background only - not as an active file you can see?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently had a virus on my computer and had to replace it. I had a ton of macros saved in my Personal.xlsb workbook, so I exported those modules and have now imported them to the new Personal.xlsb file. Now for some reason those macros no longer work in other files. Most of them are basic, like I have a macro to paste values or paste formats, etc. but I have some others that are very complex. The macros work fine as long as I am in Personal.xlsb, but if I try to use them in another open workbook I get the "all macros may be disabled or the macro may not be available in this workbook" message. I am using Excel 07 and have verified that macros are enabled.

Is there a way to setup personal views of a shared workbook ? For eg : I might hide columns f to j and the other person might have to hide columns h to m. Also, one person might be using ver 2003 and other person using 2010.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThere are two macros that i'd liek to add to my personal macro workbook upon startup of excel.
i tried to do them without coding but it appears that some actual coding is necessary.
1) i'd like to be able to select any # of cells anywhere on the page and hit ctrl+shift + n and have all of those selected cells read #N/A (the forumula is =na() )
2) i'd like to be able to select any number of columns (i do finance/econ research so all data is in chronological order from 1960-present along the columns. i.e. each variable is a column vector.) and be able to hit ctrl+shift+b and have VBA make a chart in a new sheet with my default settings
i've tried to do these but recording the macro hard codes the select cells for 1) and always runs into weird problems for 2).
I want to run a program from my PERSONAL.XLS workbook, however, after a piece of code
where I close all the open workbooks different from PERSONAL.XLS, the code stops running.
How can I contour this?
Down is the piece of code used to close the other workbooks and the msgbox I want to show, along with a DialogBox:
For Each W In Workbooks
If W.Name ThisWorkbook.Name Then
W.Close SaveChanges:=False

Next W
MsgBox "Abrir apenas a Origem a actualizar, que deverá ser obrigatoriamente do mês corrente ou do anterior", _
vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Atenção"
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show
I have a macro that is designed to paste a row of formulas into each Subtotal line on a 30,000+ line spreadsheet. I have specified the formulas that I want to paste in the named range "formulas". The macro below worked fine for about 3000 lines, then threw the error Run-Time Error 1004: Paste Method of Worksheet Class Failed on teh line ActiveSheet.Paste. I thought it had just bogged down my computer, so I added teh ScreenUpdating and Calculation lines, but they made no difference. I also tried reducing the range to just a couple thousand lines, which also made no difference. I also have found some suggestions on this forum and others for this error.
In addition to it working fine for 3000 lines, then failing, there are a couple other weird things. One is that on the line in the spreadsheet that threw the error, the formulas were pasted in up to column AX, leaving columns AY through CR blank. The second odd thing is that this exact same macro still works on my sample data spreadsheet (which only has around 50 records).
Sub FormatTotalRows()
Dim rCell As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Workbooks("latest.xls").Activate
Range("formulas").Select
Selection.Copy
For Each rCell In Range("A3040:A5000")
If Len(rCell) > 0 Then
rCell.Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
Next
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
What is the commands or script for deleting a macro automatically using

This is the code I use to call a macro when the macro Im calling is in the same workbook.

However, I would like to call this same macro when using another workbook. I copied the macro "Clearformating" and pasted into a personal macro workbook module. However when I add this code to the sheet tab it will not run the macro.
I also tried this code.

How is code or functions kept unique to a workbook? for instance i create a few toolbars that are relevant to "work book 1", however when i open another workbook "2" the toolbars do not function properly or are removed by the opening/closing of the work book, similarly other macros seem to struggle with more than one workbbok open at a time.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have several workbooks that contain the same worksheets. The worksheets within the several workbooks are structurally the same but have a different number of elements within the structure of the worksheets. I've written Macros that accommodate the difference in the number of elements in the worksheets and will perform the same appropriate tasks within all workbooks.
I use one of the workbooks for development and as I make changes in the Macros within this development workbook, I wish to update all the macros in the other workbooks.
I've been Exporting and Importing to accomplish the update. Is there a utility available that will accomplish this task? Something like "Copy all Modules from "Workbook1.xls"

In addition to the code below that hides data if macros not enabled, prevents copy and cut (I know its still possible) I would like to as well as protect the sheets (which works fine) also protect the workbook to prevent moves etc. Unfortunately while the protection may be easily applied, the veryhidden bit to ensure macros are selected then conks out. Does anyone out there know of a way where say the workbook protection may remain and at the same time allow the veryhidden etc bits do their stuff as normal as if the workbook protection was off?
