Using Activeworkbook And Thisworkbook.
Jul 3, 2009I noticed all the code that i have on a userform using activeworkbook will relate to whatever the last active workbook was "who would have guessed hay" Seeing thisworkbook used a lot i decided to go through the whole project and change all activeworkbook too thisworkbook.sheet1 During this i also made a few other changes that i was confident in, When i run it now it errors on the thisworkbook.sheet1.
Is this the wrong way of using thisworkbook to make sure the code always deals with the correct file. (will this ever be affected if the file goes through a Save As)
Or is it during my over conifedents that i have made a error somewhere else and the debuger is point me here cos it hates me.
Code In 'ThisWorkbook' Module In Add-in?
Apr 29, 2009I have made a macro that displays a textbox containing the contents of a cell once the cell is clicked. The macro is written in the 'ThisWorkbook' module in the Sub 'Worksheet_SelectionChange'.
Now I want to convert this macro into an add-in so that it works on all the Excel workbooks I open. Is it possible to do this? Or is there a way in which we can automatically put the code in the 'ThisWorkbook' module of any open worksheet (doesn't seem feasible).
If you have any ideas, please let me know?
Stop Code For ThisWorkbook
Nov 5, 2009I use a code in ThisWorkbook to always open on sheet 1 when opening up the excel spreadsheet.Is there a code that I could put in to ThisWorkbook that would do a check that the workbook was e.g. "WorkbookA". If it wasn't then the start up code would be cancelled/ignored.The reason for this is that I am copying this workbook whenthe user has entered details in to it and so I do not want this code to run in the saved workbook, that will have a different name.
Workbook A is the master copy or template

Copy Code In ThisWorkbook Object
Dec 9, 2009I'm trying to copy all the sheets into a new workbook but the following code does not copy the workbook object called "ThisWorkbook", it does copy ALL the other sheets however.....
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Copy after:=Workbooks(fileDst).Sheets(1)
The "ThisWorkbook" object appears at the end of the list names "Microsoft Excel Object" after all the sheets are listed in the VBA project explorer, like this.....
Microsoft Excel Object
<icon> Sheet2(Sheet2)
<icon> Sheet2(Sheet2)
<icon> Sheet2(Sheet2)
<Excel icon> ThisWorkbook
I have code in there that is needed such as Workbook_Open() so it's needed when I copy to a new file or I have to hand copy it everytime.

ThisWorkBook Closes Prematurely When ActiveWorkbook.Close
Jan 30, 2007I do not want ThisWorkBook to close prematurely whenever the specified Activeworkbook is closed without saving because there are other tasks to complete. The Workbook_BeforeClose dun seem to fix it for my case below.
Here’s my situation. I want to copy data from a range of a particular protected sheet in 5 (password-protected) workbooks of a similar format, to 5 worksheets(unprotected) in ThisWorkBook, which is the Master Workbook. The password of the protected sheet is common to the 5 workbooks. The passwords of the 5 workbooks are contained in a sheet in ThisWorkbook. After copying the data from Workbook1 ( 1 of 5), ThisWorkbook are prompted for closure, when Workbook1 is closed without saving. Responding to the prompt to save or not to save, forces ThisWorkbook or MasterWorkbook to break the For-Next loop. By setting Cancel = True in Workbook_BeforeClose, I can stop Thisworkbook from closure, but I will still break the For-Next loop. I have considered the method of copying data from a closed workbook, but I dun think VBA allows copying or referencing a closed workbook which is password protected at workbook and worksheet level.
Here’s my coding :
Sub UpdateMaster()
Dim MasterWB As Workbook
Dim TempWB As Workbook
Dim Source As String
Set MyWB = ThisWorkbook
For i = 1 to 5
Set TempWB = Workbooks.Open (Filename:=WB(i), Password:=password(i) )
TempWB.Sheets("ProtectedSheet").Unprotect Password:="SheetPasswd"
MyWB.Sheets(i).Range(XXX).Value = TempWB.Sheets("ProtectedSheet").Range(YYY)
TempWB.Close False ‘dun want to respond toclose ThisWorkbook else it breaks for-next loop
Next i
Application.Quit.
End Sub
How To Call A Private Module.Macro From Within ThisWorkbook
Oct 17, 2003When in a ThisWorkbook macro, I want to call a sub/macro in a Module. Usually you can just do a CALL MACRO1, and it will find it. But my MACRO1 is Private as I don't the users to be able to do a Tools, Macro, Macros and see it. So I don't want to make it a Public macro. So how do I call the private sub/macro from within ThisWorkbook?
Can I proceed the sub/macro's name with the name of the module, kind of like CALL MODULE1.MACRO1? Or do I have to make it public?
How To Create Global UDF
Sep 18, 2013I have written a code for a function in VB editor in a sample excel sheet. The UDF is working fine, but I am not able to use it in every other worksheet. I need to give the code to my managers, so even they can use the function conviniently just from the formula bar. I had declared the function as a Public function, so I thought it will be accessible in other excel sheets as well but that doesn't seem to work.

View 9 Replies View RelatedGlobal Word Substitutions
Dec 18, 2009I am trying to match up two data sets that are composed of some not very clean data. Some of my match criteria is going to include text strings.
One data set often has abbreviations for words. Example:
Massachusetts General Hospital
MASSACHUSETTS GENL HOSP
Or St vs Street. Mt vs Mount.
The list of criteria of subs I want to do is quite extensive so it does not make sense to try and do this with embedded replace() and substitution() formulas.
Want I want to is to write some kind of case statement in VB where I can load a list of substituions into a worksheet with the word in the A column, and the sub in the B column.
A b
GENL General
And then the code would find these words and sub them out whenever they are present.
Ideas on how to get started? Maybe there is a function out there already written that I can use? I searched a bit, but I am not familar with all of the resources out there. I don't need someone to write this for me, but just maybe a best practice on how you would, or point me to examples of similar functions.

View 5 Replies View RelatedGlobal Variable Declaration
Dec 25, 2007I have a smattering of experience within various programming languages, but am still coming to terms with the basics of VBA. I am trying to declare a global variable, assign it a value, then use that global variable. Within 'ThisWorkbook' I have the following...
Public myText As String
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
myText = "Hi There"
End Sub
...and in the Microsoft Worksheet Object Sheet1 (Sheet1) I have...
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
MsgBox myText
End Sub
Now, my understanding of this code is that upon opening the workbook, myText variable will be declared, and then assigned the value "Hi There". Then, once I have clicked anywhere on Sheet1, a message box will appear stating "Hi There". Problem is, the message box is blank. This is all fine, except I want the message box to state "Hi There". What am I doing wrong? Is the variable declared (publically) correctly? Am I assigning the public variable the value correctly?
Am I referencing the public variable correctly in the Worksheet_SelectionChange procedure correctly?
Global Variable For UserForm

How i can resolve that?, i.e., How i can use a global parameter in a userform and the same global parameter in the modulo with the same data?

Some of my variables are local to the subs they're used in. Some are global as they're used by subs in several sheets.

Unfortunately, I am very new to VBA and I cannot figure out what code I need and where exactly I need to put it.

View 8 Replies View RelatedFrom A Global Listing To A Packing List
Jun 3, 2009I am a wood logs trader. Wood logs are being sold per cbm (cylindrical volume). Each log has its own number, length and diameter. Once you bought the parcel, the owner of the forest gives you the listing of the logs. Nothing to it, it's just a list of all the logs with their specifications and numbers. We load these logs into 40' containers. Usually, we measure the logs while loading but not anymore, now the logs have already been measured and are being loaded randomly, hence my problem. Let me give you an example, let's say that I bought a parcel of logs of 100 pieces, marked with numbers from 1 to 100 for a total of 100 cbm. Each log has its own length and diameter of course (like 1 - 10m length - 42cm diameter . 2 - 6 - 52 etc...). The first container has been loaded with 5 pieces: number 6, 15, 52, 74, 75.
My question is, if i input the list of all the logs, would it be possible to create the packing list per container just by typing the log number and letting excel get the length and diameter automatically from the global listing? Because, let me tell you, getting through 2000 numbers to find the length and diameter of each of 15 logs loaded in one container, and thus for 50 containers really ain't fun
I've attached an example of packing list for one container to give you an idea (don't pay any attention to the color, it's just different qualities). I didn't attach any global listing though. The only difference is that it is much longer and in numerical order.
