I am new to insert buttons and I i figured how to drag one and put it in the toolbar at the top to perform a macro when it is pushed. I saw somewhere where someone had a button in say A1 that performed a certain macro and then one in A2 that performed another macro. how to insert a button in both of these cells that I can link to a macro to insert data into a specified cell?
View 4 RepliesContext: I have a spreadsheet that contains a list of employee names and their certifications. I want to be able to assign a button to each employee in column B with a macro that is able to zip files from a folder that contains that employees name.
The following code assigns buttons to each employee in column B. At the moment the code I have is able to assign the macro "Zip" to each button.
[Code] .....
Now, this Zip macro is able to zip the file for the employee "Anthony Tran". However I need it to be able to recognise which employee's button I've clicked and search the same files as above except with that employees name instead of "Anthony Tran".
If it makes things easier, the code for creating buttons for each employee is able to name that button as the employees name that it represents.
This is probably really straight forward but cant see why it happens, the following macro works fine when called by a button created by the form toolbar but doesnt when called by a command button, get the runtime error 1004, "select method of range class failed"
ActiveSheet.Select
Range("B4:B37").Select
Selection.ClearContents

I've recorded a macro that copies an entire tab into a new spreadsheet then goes on the copy and paste information from one tab to another.
When I run the macro from the Tools>Macros menu it works perfectly.
But when I copy the code and add it to that of a button it fails and posts the following error: Run-time error '1001': Select method of Range class failed.
The first attachement shows the code for the macro as it is alone, and the second shows how I simply copied and pasted it into the 'view code' window of the button.
Needless to say I'm a beginner at macros and only every record them, I can usually make stuff work that way but this has me stumped!
I have a userform with a command button which fires a macro.
everything works fine so far.
my problem is:
I would like to add a msgbox at the end of the macro which confirmes "successfully completed".
I cannnot simply add the msgbox at the end of the macro. don't know what I'm doing wrong.
(see below)
Private Sub CommandButtonOK_Click().
If Me.OptionButton1.Value = True Then
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("PropertyWorksheet").Range("A1").Value = "Government Securities"
ElseIf Me.OptionButton2.Value = True Then

This is only doing for one sheet and i need to modify the code so that it does for all sheets of the workbook.

I have a long complicated macro that processes a ton of data and gives the output in a new sheet. I then want to create new buttons (or some sort of user clickable triggers) on this new sheet that runs another macro.
I have got the actual adding of buttons in the sheet working, but I can't find a way to automatically assign macros to newly generated buttons during runtime. Is this even possible (or are there any clever tricks I could use to get around this?)
Upon opening the worksheet, I'd like to have a startup macro reassign a macro to a button that is already created. We have an issue with two buttons in a custom toolbar that for some reason default to an old (nonexistent) version of the file when looking for the assigned macro. If I could get an opening macro to automatically reassign those buttons to the proper macros inside the current file, then we wouldn't have to have all possible users login and reassign and resave, which seems to be the only solution at the moment.
Reassigning a macro to a button doesn't show up when doing "Record Macro", and if creating a new button and assigning correct macro while "Record Macro" is occurring, VisualBasic only shows the creation of the button and not the assignment of the macro.
How do i make a button run a macro on click, then undo the macros functions on the next click, like an on off button?
View 7 Replies View Relatedi have macros which is attached in notepad and need to be called into 1 single button .
I have tried few ways but throwing an error.
I want to have every sheet with a "refresh" button, as all the sheets are populated with Webquery information, I want people to be able to go into the sheet and refresh the data.
What I need is a macro that will pull data from the sheet and insert it into a URL for example.
The site I'm pulling from looks like this in the macro:
URL;http://www.**REMOVED**.net/RestrictedPages/UserDetail.aspx?userID=44", _
Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
The "userID=44" section is also displayed within the data pulled, and sits in column A, so I need something like this:
URL;http://www.**Removed**.net/RestrictedPages/UserDetail.aspx?userID=Range("A2").Value", _
Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
But Visual Basic gives me a error and highlights the entire section in red.
I have a macro and I want a button on the toolbar, once clicked on the button, I want the macro to run.
Is there any way to do this. If this can be done using add-ins, I doesn't know how to create a button for the same.
I have button on a worksheet that has a macro assigned. I need other people to see the workbook, but I want the button DISABLED for them to click, but able for me to click it. I have written in the macro to protect the sheet once it has run, but the button is still pressable.

I just had a second thought well not mine my daughter, she suggested that I use a gaming keyboard which already has extra keys. She has one, it has 15 extra keys. Has anyone ever tried to program macros to something like this? I still prefer having a tool bar on my desk top but it is a creative idea. I just don't know if Excel or Word would recognize the extra keys.
I have a workbook with approximately 260 sheets. These sheets contain financial information. They have to be sorted according to the division within the company, with a total page for each financial division.
I have a code on a blank tab that prints the sheets based on a value in cell B3 on each sheet. (i.e. "VB", "WB", which are initials of our district managers.)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a macro which was developed with the help of our Experts.
I need all that macros to be in 1 button would that be possible.
I have tried this but not able to make it.
it's possible to use this macro code in a toggle to perform this action when it's true and when the toggle is click again it can undo it.
This macro does lookups and finds the max on sets of value when it is run and i was wondering if by clicking the button again it can undo what it placed in the cells.
I have created a command button from the Excel 2003 from the Macros toolbar that I placed on my worksheet. I want to use this button to activate an existing macro. Currently I have no code entered for this button and the button when clicked on behaves as an object to be edited, moved, etc. How should I proceed?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an excel spreadsheet with two tabs.One called "menu" and one called "website"
I want to put a button in tab one (menu) and assign a macro. I need the macro to run/output in sheet 2 (website) not in sheet 1 where the button is placed.
No matter what I do I can't figure it out. The macro always runs in the same sheet as the button.
I have the following code:
Code:
Sub AddFormsButton()
Dim sShape As Shape
With Range("J1")
Set sShape = Sheets("Exposure Country").Shapes.AddFormControl _
(Type:=xlButtonControl, Left:=.Left, Top:=.Top, Width:=96, Height:=20)
End With
[Code]...
Which is called within another macro and inserts a button onto sheet Exposure Country, after which the macro it was called from then stops (i.e. End Sub)
What I would like is that when the user clicks on this button it selects another sheet but I'm not sure how to achieve this.
I'm using below code to add number of buttons and assigning macro to all of them at run time.
Code:
j = 1
Do
ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(2.25, Top, 66.5, 14).Select
With Selection
.Caption = "play " & j
.Font.Size = 8
.onselection = "mymacroname"
End With
Top = Top + 15
j = j + 1
Loop Until j = I
What do i write in macro to know the caption of the button being clicked?
Currently have a sheet that allows me to pick an item from a drop down list and show me the code for that item.
I already the macros for adding an item to the list via a add button. All this dose is if the item is not on the list i can simply be added into the two boxs and then click the add button.
What i want to do is add a delete button. This is in case someone enters the values wrong then can select it in the list and then click the delete button.
So all i want is to look at the item cell, match to a range and delete the row.
I have added a link to what it looks like as well as the coding i have used so far. [URL] ........

I have many workbooks that I receive from clients I run various Excel VBA macros on depending on which workbook it is, and I need to automate all of this so that anyone can run an simple .exe user interface designed in VB 2005 Express Edition where when that interface is run, a window opens on the destop with a collection of buttons, when the user clicks one of the buttons, Excel launches, loads the appropriate file and runs an already-existing appropriate Excel macro, then some file maintenance is done, like moving a group of files from one subdirectory to another.
