I 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 8 RepliesHow 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 Replies View RelatedSo 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 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.
How can we convert time on a scale of 100 to a scale of 60?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to hide a macro from the list where you choose which to run, but not in the VBA editor? The userbox I just created calls upon 2 different macros, and has a macro to bring up the userbox.

I have a list of authors for about 20 papers. These Papers are listed in sequential order from 1999 to 2005.
I want to track the number of similar authors from paper to paper. Thus I am attempting to create a macros that has the Papers listed sequentially when they were published and the authors for each paper, with the authors name in each cell. I want to create a macros that will compare the Author Cells associated to lets say the Fifth Paper with the Author Cells for the Fourth Paper (the Previous Paper). So that if certain authors come up in the Fifth Paper that were in the Fourth Paper, the # will be noted.
I also want this macros to compare all the Author Cells that have appeared in the past with that of the author cells of the (N) paper excluding the (N-1) Paper, and just note the # of occurences. So using the previous example. If we are talking about the Fifth Paper, it will look through Papers #1-#3 for any matching keywords and note the number.
I have attached my spreadsheet to make it more clearer. For some papers there are more than 20 authors as well just to note.

View 7 Replies View RelatedNewbie user of VB. I need some assistance on a project. I have a form that uses a validation list ( cell c5) to populate other cells (c6, c7, c8, h5) using Vlookup.
This part works fine. On the list is an "other" choice which I need to initiate a textbox macros which would accept user input and populate the same cells with the entered data once a cmd button is selected. I’ve tried redefining my variables as ranges or strings with the same inconclusive results. The code as it stands looks like this:
Private Sub Worksheet_change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Vname As String
If Intersect(Target, Range("c5")) Is Nothing Then
'do nothing
Vname = Target.Value
If Vname = "" Then
'do nothing
If Vname = "Other" Then Newvendin.Show
End If
End If
End Sub
Using this code doesn’t initiate the event.
Newvendin is the userform to enter new data only if “other” is selected. CmdEnter is the enter button on the userform with textboxes in it. I’m having a bit of trouble with it’s code as well.
Private Sub cmdEnter_Click()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("OSP Parts List")
ws.Cells("c5").Value = Me.Vname.Value
ws.Cells("c6").Value = Me.Vadd1.Value
ws.Cells("c7").Value = Me.Vadd2.Value
ws.Cells("c8").Value = Me.Vcont.Value
ws.Cells("h5").Value = Me.Vphone.Value
End Sub
The Vxxxxx are the textboxes.
I get type mismatch errors using this code.
I would like it to populate the value typed into the textboxes into the indicated cells.
Final question and it’s probably stupid. If you have more than one Private Sub Worksheet_change(ByVal Target As Range) sub on your worksheet, how do you change the wording on each so that it won’t cause an Ambiguous name detected error?
"I have 2 listboxes 1st listbox is listing all macros in sheet user can select macro which he intend to run and transfer them into another listbox

I have an excel sheet with 25,000+ emails in column A with hyperlinked emails addresses, Column B has different Subject lines based on the category the clients belongs to but on the same sheet, Column C has the following hyperlink :

I don't want the messages to be sent automatically but i want to have the option to change the body of the email if necessary.
I am designing (badly!) an excel file that is intended to be as user friendly as possible. I would like to add in a navigation feature using a list box or other appropriate control form that will take the user to the correct tab in the workbook depending on which item they choose from the list.
My aim is too hide all the tabs at the bottom whilst not crowding my page with multiple command buttons, and still be able to navigate easily through the workbook.
I have 6 macros recorded and I need to create a drop down list of macros so that I know what kind of Macro I am using.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been searching through the site trying to find a solution to my issue, but I just can't seen to fixt it. Here is the scenario. I am working on a spreadsheet that will read some data, use that data to update the main chart and fill in the information in a table next to that chart. I recoreded 22 macros, total. Each macro corresponds to the especific type of chart that I need/want.
I want to be able to click on a drop down menu above the chart which will have each of the 22 options. Once the user clicks on the desired option, the specific macro will run and do that it should do. When I run the individual macro (without the VB that I wrote and will mention below), the system does what it should do. Everything looks dandy. But then I added this VB code to the sheet where the chart is:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Select Case Target.Range("A12").Value
Case "1"
Call a
Case "2"
Call b
Case "3"
Call cc
Case "4"
Call d
Case "5"
Call e................
I 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.

I would like have a input box in which a user enter a number and then I would like to be able to use that number in other worksheets within the same workbook. How do I declare the variable for use with other sheets. I know I would first use

explain the difference between declaring a variable as global or as public. Aren't they both available to the entire project including forms?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Is there any way to select things like tools - options across all worksheets in a workbook? I often want to suppress display of zeroes in an entire workbook, but so far the only way I've found to do this is to go to eash worksheet in turn and go thru the procedure on each one.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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?
I maked a userform who use global parameters (to let the user decide where write things) and later i need to use this parameter in a module (who is the main program). I try to resolve this problem put this global parameters like global parameters in the module and later in the both sides (in the module and in the useform), but it can't work. 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?

I have an Excel 2003 program that contains macros. One of the macros hides certain command bars and disables the worksheet menu bar. On close the opposite is true. The problem is, if a user uses the disable macros when opening then the worksheet menu bar and other command bars are still available. I would like to hide all of the data sheets and display another sheet that would normally be hidden displaying a message that the macros have to be enabled for the program to work correctly if disable macros is chosen. When the enable macros are used I would like the Error page to be hidden.
