How To Add To Custom Ribbon Tab That Is Built As Add-in
Nov 8, 2012
I am looking for the settings if possible that will add to a custom tab in the ribbon.
What I have is an add-in that creates a custom tab in the excel ribbon. I save it as an add-in and activate it in excel options so it is available for all workbooks.
Now I have a callback in there that runs a macro that opens a workbook, this workbook also has custom UI that I want additional callbacks added to the same custom tab created in the add-in.
Is this possible?

I am very proficient at Excel/VBA and have a question about custom/user-defined functions that may be a little more advanced. I understand how to write custom functions and access them through the user-defined functions menu, but I would like to be able to include my function in an add-in that users could simply add, and then access the function via the 'Fx' box at the top of Excel, like they would any other built-in function, instead of having to go to the user-defined functions menu. I guess what I am looking for is how to add 'built-in' functions and not user-defined ones. I just want the user to start typing '=customFunction(' and have the parameters pop-up in tool-tip form, like any Excel built-in function would.

Using excel 2007 I've created a new tab and wanted to place the 2003 file menu on it. I don't know how to include it automatically in the tab using a combination of XML and VBA. So I created a button with the callback to run some code. Unfortunately, it still places the item in the Add-in tab. How can I get the undernoted code to operate within my new tab with either XLM or VBA?
Code:
Sub InsertFileMenu2003()
Dim cb As CommandBar
Set cb = Application.CommandBars.Add("xl2003 Menu", , True)
CommandBars("Built-in Menus").Controls("&File").Copy cb
Application.CommandBars("xl2003 Menu").Visible = True
End Sub

I have a pretty developed add-in I've created for use at work. It has 3 full custom ribbon tabs worth of buttons and boxes and other features that run all of the macros in the project. Everyone loves it. The only problem is, its only used when we work with customer statement excel files. When using Excel for other tasks it is annoying to have 3 extra, essentially useless tabs taking up space on the ribbon.
Is it possible to create a button and stick it on, say the Data tab, that will "Start" the add-in and make the 3 custom tabs visible? Ideally there would also be a button to "Close" the add-in or hide the extra tabs until they're needed as well, but how to customize for my specific needs.

I currently have an excel workbook (2010) in which I created a custom ribbon and assigned several different macros to the buttons.
Long story short, I will be saving several variations of this workbook every so often when I get new data.
The problem is that if I change the name of the file (Save as or Rename), the custom ribbon buttons no longer work. When I assigned the macros to the ribbon buttons, the macros were absolutely assigned.
Is it possible to assign relative macros to custom ribbons?
From research I have done, it appears that custom ribbons cannot be created using VBA. Is this still true?

We are using Windows7 with Excel 2007. We have old code from excel 2003 and earlier that was adding a msoControlPopup with other sub-controls using the code below:
Code:
Set HelpMenu = CommandBars(1).FindControl(Id:=30010)
If HelpMenu Is Nothing Then
' Add the menu to the end
[Code].....
I tried going to Excel Options>Customize>Reset to reset any customizations to the quick access toolbar as this was recommended by something else I found online. This did not fix the problem.
I can find the control in the Immediate window but it just isn't showing in the add-ins tab. if I can find and repair that XML file perhaps?

Created a new tab and menu buttons on the Ribbon in Excel in 3 separate .xltm files. Everything worked great through all of the development and testing, but when we went live we got reports of a bug. Here is what is happening...
User opens the template file and immediately saves it as a .xlsm file with a new name in a new location. The user then does various amounts of work in the file. When the user needs to use one of the tools on the custom tab, it is as if the buttons are inactive or not associated with any actions. The tab and buttons are all visible, the animation of the button being pressed works when any of the buttons are clicked, but nothing happens. The user can close and reopen the file and the ribbon buttons will work correctly, but not until they close and reopen.
Upon digging into the problem, we found that if the user clicks on the custom tab before they save the file, all of the buttons will work correctly after the save. But if the tab is not activated before the save, they dont work until a close and reopen.
The XML code is good because if I place it in a add on file (.xlam) and trigger it from the main file, there is no problem. But this is not a good solution since the add on file needs to be located in the same file that the main file is run from which can be any number of places.

I have the data below. I need to total the amount in the USD Equivalent column but there is an exception. Where the "Curr Sold" and the "Curr Sold" are the same in reverse (as highlighted) in yellow, I need to take the net figure. For example below, I need to add the USD Equivalent column but then minus the 6,013,072.66 because the CHF - USD is the same in reverse with the same maturity date.

I need to modify 2 Excel built-in dialogs via VBA. Here is the first dialog box:
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogWorkbookCopy).Show
First, in the "Move or Copy" window, where it says, "move selected sheets to book:" I'd like the default selection to be the open workbook instead of "(new book)", which is the current default. How can this be done?
Second, I'd like to remove the check box so there is no option to copy visible, however, I need to add the code in the sub procedure to make a copy. How can I do this?
The second dialog box I need to modify is this one:
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPageSetup).Show.
What I need this to do is open with the tab" Header/Footer" visible as a default, or, better still, have only the "Header/Footer" tab available and the other 3 tabs not there at all. How do I do this?

I am attempting to create the Name "L1" for a list of cells but it conflicts with the built-in name for Cell L1. Is there any way around this if I need it to read "L1" exactly, and not "L_1" or a variation?

I am trying to assign a macro to the Print button on the Standard Toolbar. Basically I want that button to print the number of pages I've specified in a cell, but I still want to be able to use the 'File/Print...' option if I need to.
I did try to solve this issue in an earlier post, but this exact problem remained unsolved. For more information

I’m trying to send an array of values INTO a user defined function, do a little math on it, and then send the resulting array back to the caller. The caller in this case is an array formula in an excel cell.
I can get it to build an array after the math, but I can’t get it to pass the resulting array back to the formula. The following snippet is a simple version of the code. Here I am building the incoming array in the macro, but same difference at the end. The outgoing Oil_spgr variable never seems to contain the full, final array.

I have wirtten a sub routine that builds a userForm dynamically based on user specific data. The form builds just fine and 9 times out of 10 the code at the end of the sub routine removes the form from the workbook. Since it's built on the fly I don't bother renaming the form. The times when it does not remove itself and the user restarts the program, part of the code written to the forms module references "UserForm1". and the the code halts. I know there is a way I can verify that UserForm1 has been removed and if not remove it before executing the next sub routine, I'm just tired and can't remember anything. Note that the UserForm1 contains CommandButtons that direct the user to Static UserForms that do not get removed, and those can trigger the sub routine to rebuild the dynamic UserForm.

I recorded a macro to open the Form on the Data Menu. Sample Worksheet Attached. After starting the macro recorder I selected the Food table cell (located to the right on the worksheet). Then went to the Menu bar.... Data Forms... and Clicked new.... followed by close and then stopped the macro Recorder. It produced the following code.... which reflects a code error when run.

Is there a built-in dialog box that allows the user to select a range by clicking and dragging with the mouse? I'd like to use this in my code and have the dialog box return either a range object or and address that I can use in a range assignment statement. I'm looking for something like what you get when you select Insert-->Name-->Define. The "Refers To" text box at the bottom automatically updates as the user clicks and drags across cells. Is there such a thing accessible via VBA?

I am developing a program for my electrical calculations (electrical panel). In the program, on my worksheet, I need all row inserts/deletes being watched and logged into another worksheet. I have become to a conclusion it would be best done by "taking over" default behaviour of built-in right-click menu commands like "Copy", "Paste" and "Delete".
In the ozgrid tips page I found some solutions how to deactivate those commands, but that is not what is best for me - when the menu item (or a corresponding key) is pressed, I would like to check if the ActiveCell (or ActiveRow) meats some criteria, and acording to that, make some changes in my "log" - and after - let further actions to default command behaviour. I think of it like "BeforeDelete", "BeforeInsert" or something. In fact the "log" is the worksheet with coordinates of my tables from the first worksheet, which should be changed according to new size of a table after the row insert or delete.

I was able to create a conditional format that does the following:
if any cell in C column is changed, it checks G column...if the time in G column is within two hours of the current time, it highlights in yellow A column (in that corresponding row). The formula that got this working is:
Code:
=AND(MOD(NOW(),1)>= $G1-"02:00",MOD(NOW(),1)

Anyhow, I enjoy the modern convenience of a dual-monitor setup but still find myself struggling with small forms(?) in Excel. For instance I am currently looking at the "Conditional Formatting Rules Manager" which occupies a very limited amount of screen real-estate. The sheet I am working on contains a large number of conditional formats which all use long custom formulas. I am not the original author.
I would love to be able to resize the overall size of the menu and the columns within it but, for the life of me, I can't seem to do so. It would be much easier to be able to see the rule formulas in one glance as opposed to having to go into each one to see the one-character difference. As stated before I certainly have the real-estate to do so.
p.s. I'm using Excel 2013

I am trying to create a master file, with a macro built in, that will allow multiple users to use it at once. The macro is to open a dilouge(sp sorry) box showing the contents of a specific folder, allow the user to selct one of the sheets, then copy and paste the set details from the hidden tab on this sheet (All sheets will be the same barring title), append the details to the master list in the first empty row.
I've got this far thus
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
'
' Modify this folder path to point to the files you want to use.
FolderPath = "My Folder name here"
' Set the current directory to the the folder path.
ChDrive FolderPath
[Code] .....
So I can copy the row, but I can't get the first part to open .

how to add a drop down list while using the excel form for data entry.
Basically I am trying to make it easy for a non technical person to add ebay items to a spreadsheet. This sheet is them used in sixbit software to upload to ebay.
All of these items will have some constants (such as length of listing or listing type etc) but selected from a small list i.e they can ONLY be certain times or types for example . So a list is very important to make sure there are no errors but also for speed.
The sheet has a number of headings so when I select the form function in excel the box comes up with the desired entry boxes just fine but I cant get a list to select from even when I have already created a drop down list in excel sheet.

I'm trying to make a converter between about 8 various types of values. These are not units like Km or miles or something like that, but rather numbers that represent a specific "hardness value" on a variety of scales (to name a few: HRC, HRA, K)
What I've been doing so far is plotting the two types against eachother and then getting the best trendline I can so that I can use that formula to convert between the two with relative certainty. (for example, when plotting HV vs HRC my fourth order polynomial trendline with an Rsquared of 1 is y=0.0001x4 - 0.0188x3 + 1.0768x2 - 20.709x + 350.69)
My questions comes up where I was hoping to make a window or box of some sort allowing the user to input a numeric value, then selecting the Input units and the hopeful output calculated units, and have the box spit back to the user the conversion.

I want to be able to create a range of VBA userforms to quickly perform long tedious tasks. I want these userforms to be accessed from a nice tidy toolbar.
I have done this and it looks nice and works well. What I would like to be able to do is have my custom toolbar of userform controlled functions be transferable so that if someone else wants my toolbar and attached functions they can install it easily much the same way you can do with an add in.
Is this sort of thing possible or does it require them to manually install all my userforms, modules and toolbar? If it is possible what sort of things should I be looking at?
