View 3 RepliesWhen I open a file in excel and I close it without closing excel-application, the file remains open in the Vba-background. This is not a big problem but when I reopen the file I get 2 versions in the Vba-explorer. This continues until I close the whole excel-application. So everytime I reopen the file the vba-explorer adds a new version. Is somebody familiar with this? Is this normal or is this a bug?

I'd like to insert a picture background for multiple s/ sheets I've developed, however, even though the images I'm using are only 30kb's in size, it bumps my s/sheet file size from 900kb's to over 4mb's ! Is there a way I can stop this from happening, or, any way to restrict the background image to only a certain part of the worksheet as opposed to the entire thing?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there anyway to put a background on a worksheet, without the file size of the workbook becoming monstrously huge? I have a small jpg file of our company logo, and I think that it would be a nice touch for it to be the background to our spreadsheet. But when I use this 50k file as the background, the workbook suddenly grows to a size of 7MB.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am not sure why but when I opened a particular file, the file hides somewhere in Excel. I am unable to view the file but when I try to open the same file again, Excel prompts that the file is already open but I can't see the file.This is an important file at work and I am not sure how to actually get to view the file. I tried copy and pasting the file in another location and then trying to open in Excel. However, the same thing happened.There is no error message.The file is opened but I am unable to view, as it seems to hide from view.Is there a solution?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI created a macro and saved it into the Personal.xls file and originally the file stayed hidden whenever I ran the macro. I changed a setting somewhere and now when I run the macro the file opens up and stays open until I close it.
How can I have the file stay hidden when I run the macro?
I have an excel file which is in windows explorer has its property set to hidden.
I have another excel file, with some Vba in it, which opens the hidden file, inserts some data into it, saves the file and closes it.
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.Close
This all works, except that the hidden property is lost in the process.
Is there a way of saving the file, and keeping the hidden property? This is just so that users cant see the file and accidently open it.

I am trying to format all cells on all sheets (hidden or otherwise) as "Locked" so when the sheets are protected the user can't see the formulas. This macro individually selects every sheet in the book and applys the formatting. Is there a way to modify this code to accomplish the same thing without having it actually select every sheet? The only reason it is an issue is that after running the macro you end up on the last sheet in the book.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI, daily get a list of individuals with some data against each one of them. E.g Amit would appear 7 times in the list, John would appear 10 times in the list and so on and so forth. I am required to sort the data as per names and then fill one background color. One color for one person so that it becomes easy to read data specific to an individual.Ia there a way that the color fills up automatically. note the names and number of entries are not same everyday.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have 10 excel sheets that are filled with data some 20,000 each.
Some of the descriptions in that row need to be changed.
I wonder how I can create some kind of macro or formatting that will change the text color or the fill color as I make those changes automatically?
I can sort the list after that easy enough, pulling the color text or the fill color.

I have 3 columns of data that are being copied from a .csv file. The data is pasted into Columns B, C, & D. Columns C and D are hidden. So that the user does not have to unhide the columns in order to delete the data, I would like to make it so that when the data in column B is deleted, the data in columns C and D is also deleted.
View 14 Replies View Relatedim looking for a basic macro for workbook copying, all workbook(all hidden, unhidden, and very hidden) sheets.
i know how to do unhidden sheets of course however the hidden and very hidden are giving me some trouble...i need to also copy over all the macro's, buttons, and drop down box's as well..not just values.
I am looking some macro code to extract data based on background color (yellow color) from sheet1 to sheet2
for detail like this below :
table.tableizer-table {
border: 1px solid #CCC; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
font-size: 12px;
}
.tableizer-table td {
padding: 4px;
margin: 3px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}

i am using the macro below to get excel to hide all sheets but the one called "open"...
PHP
Sub savemini()
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect "letmein"
For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Not sh.Name = "open" Then sh.Visible = xlVeryHidden
Next sh
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub
So the workbook is protected with the password "letmein", and the VB code above in theory should unlock the workbook, allowing all visible sheets to be hidden with the exception of the sheet called "open". Then is saves the file.
Now heres the odd bit... it works for certain people, but not for others. I have made sure those it wont work for are not doing anything weird and they are not.
The workbook i am using has a code that only opens certain sheets for certain users. I as a master user have access to all sheets. I can go into the users sheets and click the button that activates the macro above myself and it works fine, but for some users it wont work.
I have this code that first selects a sheet (data) and then imports a csv-fil to the data sheet.
I want to hide the data sheet and the the code doesn't work.
How do I change the import code so that I do not select the sheet?

I believe it should be something like this: With Sheets("DATA").QueryTables. Add..... but I am not aware of the syntax.
Is there a way to copy and paste a sheet from one spreadsheet to another without getting the rows that have been hidden? I have a database with about 800 rows and another 150 or 200 scattered through it that are currently hidden. For what I need right now I don't want any of that hidden data. Do I have to manually delete it or is there a way to ignore it (I thought of paste special but I can't find one that works).

How is it possible in an unprotected worksheet to hide additional data input in formulas so that visible invalid numbers produce accurate results? Displaying hidden formulas in formula bar reveals nothing. Blank cells have been included in formula, but searches for hidden numbers and links in these cells produced nothing. I'm at my wit's end to correct this misuse of Excel in my office.
