I have completely forgotten what I need to enable to get this to work
I have one spreadsheet indexed to another. When one user opens their s/s and changes a value and then closes it I need the other s/s to update once they open and refresh.
I am trying to read some values from a closed workbook. I use the following code
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently discovered the usefulness of VB in excel and have managed to write some basic macros that enhance many of my workbooks. BUT, I've bumped into a problem I can't seem to solve. Please help!
I'm looking to import the values in a large range of cells ( 5 x 5000) in a closed workbook into a range that i specify in an open one, where both workbooks are housed in the same directory. I also want to include logic that allows me to move the 2 files to different directories (the names will never change, only the paths) and have the code still work--I believe i'd use relative path references?
I've found lots of snippets of code on the topic but can't seem to get any of them to work. For instance: http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php...a_closed_file/
Problem is, I'm so new that I don't even know where to begin pasting the code (objects vs. modules, etc) in the VBA editor.
I created a form and the values that it takes are Date, Issue, Name, Team Member and Cause.
I use a Production Support Report (workbook that I don't want open for people to see) and it will have tabs for each month ie; January
how can I without opening Production Support Report grab the values from the form then update the Production support report by finding the months sheet and sticking the values at the last row.
I have code that links my existing workbook to a closed workbook. It works as planned but it goes to far. In my first workbook, the one containing the code, I may have up to 30 worksheets. If I am on Sheet5 I may need to run the vba code to update cells X:X only on Sheet5 but instead it updates cells X:X on all Sheets in the workbook. How can I keep this from happening?
I have asked this on another forum but it seems to be a difficult thing, perhaps impossible thing to keep from happening.
On Event open workbook (wookbook A)
For worksheets 3 though to worksheet 9 and only columns D, E, F, G, H , I and J, and only rows 4 through to 35 auto update from a source workbook
Note 1: - as you will see in Wookbook A in the attached demo test zip file that row range 4 to 35 varies on each worksheet as the number of towns columns varies on each worksheet. So on one worksheet it might be row 4 to row 12 requiring update whereas on another worksheet it could be row 4 to up to row 35.
Note2: –the source workbook is a closed /non active workbook on another server in my network –path is X/sourcefiles/weeklydate/countfile.xls. In the source workbook the source is sheet 1.
Only update when there is a match of string of the place location name which are ALL listed in column C of the source worksheet –matched to that of string place location names in workbook A in their respective worksheets 3 through to worksheet 9. Then when there is a match – copy the content of the cells that correspond to the place location names in the source workbook (countfile.xls) from the columns D, E, F, G, H, I, and J.
Note 3. The way in which the source countfile works is that each week it will be updated with values/figures starting with column D in week 1 and column E in week 2 and column F in the third week and so on…..In the first week only column D will have values/ figures and the other columns will be empty – and second week only columns D and E will have values/figures – to make the code easy it would be OK to copy across the other columns when they are empty – thus leaving the other columns in workbookA also empty. So in week two when workbook A is opened and is updated from the source file with values/figures for workbook A’s columns D and E of worksheets 3 through to 9 the other columns F, G H, I and J on those worksheets would have only be empty cells or just not updated at all –as the source file at that time would have had only two weeks of figures entered.
Also copy across the column headings in row 4 for columns D, E, F, G, H, I , and J as those headings may change as they are dates.
The final bit that is important part of this is that as worksheet A is updated the formula in column K it will need to auto update as well as it is the initial figures in column D minus the figures in the most recent column updated – so if column G is updated today the formula needs to be =D5 – G5 and =D6-G6 and so on whereas when updated next week the formula would need to change to =D5 – H5 and =C6-H6 and so on.
I am having a workbook (say a.xlsm) which has value entry fields and some values are given to another workbook (say b.xlsm) which has some sort of calculations and the result is projected back to the book a. most of the time book b will be closed. I am using Excel 2010.
I opened and saw that the result which is calculated and projected from workbook b is not getting updated. I opened the workbook b and saw that the values I have entered in a has not been updated in b. note that I am opening one book at a time and I do click on update links when I am asked.
I would like to create a single excel file, which is composed by fragments of different (closed) excel fies (it should take some data from the files).
I'm wondering if it is possible to read values from different workbooks and not open them first.
I have an overview sheet with values from the other workbooks, and I will not use relative references but us a macro that runs trough the workbooks and collect the values.
Is there code that will take certain data from one Excel sheet to another named file in a different place on the network? Example Copy cell aa47 from "Recent Faxes.xls" that sits in "correspondence" folder. Then paste into cell B25 "Current Documentation.xls" in the "Sales Contacts" folder
View 2 Replies View RelatedAll I am trying to do, is read an Excel file looking for the next cell to update, then update it and ultimately save it.
I cannot get it to work - all the checking says it should and yet it doesn't. I have included my simple code but not being a programmer, I just need this to work. The whole Excel VBSCRIPT is a mystery to me as to when methods etc can be used.
here comes the code
Set objXL = CreateObject("excel.application")
Set wbDest = objXL.Workbooks.Open(pathName & xlFile)
Set wksDest = wbDest.Worksheets("SpeedLog")
xlFindColCount = 1
Do Until wksDest.Cells(1, xlFindColCount).value = ""
xlFindColCount = xlFindColCount + 1

I have one workbook which when a macro is run, creates a new workbook. I am trying to then get this new workbook to have both "ReadOnly" and "Hidden" status. but when I use Set attr it only picks up one.
I need to be able to turn of the readonly status and update the file and then re protect it.
I've been using the following code to bring in individual cell values from one closed workbook to an active one. I would like to modify this is possible to bring in multiple cells at once and also pull them into a different worksheet in the active workbook. Basically, my command button is on Sheet1 but I'd like the data to pull into a cell on Sheet2.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
With Range("Q9")
.Formula = "='C:Users[Workbook Name.xlsm]Worksheet Name'! N27"
.Value = .Value
End With
I have an open workbook (A) and this is where the code should reside. I want to use VBA to copy the content of an entire worksheet from a closed workbook (B) to an existing worksheet in workbook A. How would you accomplish this?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have some vba that opens a closed workbook, copies data from a named range and then pastes it to the active workbook.
However, what is happening is that the closed workbook is opened and only part of the data is pasted. What I would prefer to happen is this:
Open the closed workbook-->copy the named range-->paste(append) to next empty cell in column B.
Heres the code that I have got.
Sub Workbook_test()Dim wb As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' turn off the screen updating
Set wb = Workbooks.Open("G:WAREHOUSEPlanningSmartNew Training Plan raining plan.xls", True, True)

I am trying to copy the emf image object from "Book1" into the "test" workbook whilst the test workbook is open and Book1 is closed. The code I have put together currently sort of works, I mean that it copies the text data over but does not copy the object which is what I require.
im looking for some code to transfer cells a3,d6,f9,i6,k10 and i18 from open workbook named "hello"
to
closed workbook named "goodbye" and input to next available row

f9 to a3
i6 to a4
k10 to a5

I've got several workbooks that users will be using to keep track of individual projects. These workbooks will talk back to a master summary sheet that has the status of all projects on it. The possibility exists that someone else on the network will have the summary book open when the program tries to update it, which would cause an error when it opens as read only. So I want to do something like this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a problem with this code, have been wracking my brains about. Here is the process I am trying to do:
1) Copy a range (a2:av1000) but (ideally) find the last populated row from a closed workbook (with a different password)
2) Create a new workbook and paste this data into it at A2
3) Close all the workbooks but only save the new one.
I'm trying to write a macro that accomplishes the following:
" Book 1" is already open. The user runs a macro that lists all .xls files in directory "d:measurements" The user selects the desired file from the list or box the macro copies from this "book 2" " sheet 3", " range A6:I107 and pastes (values only) into "book 1", "sheet 5", "range A6" End of macro.
I want to accomplish this without opening the selected file (book 2)
I want to open an excel file whose name is a value in a spreadsheet, and then pull a value from the spreadsheet I queried into my existing workbook. Here is the syntax i have so far:
to note: I'm calling the workbook in which the macro is located testproject.xls, and I'm using [integer].xls as my list of files that the macro will query. Ultimately, this code will go in a loop.
Set currentCell = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
varCellvalue = currentCell.value
Workbooks.Open "path_of_file" & varCellvalue & ".xls"
Windows("testproject.xls").Activate
currentCell.Offset.(0,1).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=[3.xls]Sheet1!R1C1"
The problem is, I want [3.xls] to carry the sale value as varCellvalue with .xls appended, and not be kept static at 3. I tried inserting & varCellvalue & ".xls" into the brackets, but with no luck. My only difficulty is getting [3.xls] to vary along with varCellvalue.
For a couple of reasons I have had to take a workbook off of a local machine and place it on the network so others can access it. I cannot share the workbook because of the macro's and protection on it. At any one time only one person should have full control of workbook. The others only need read only access. I won't go into the whole deal but I was hoping there was a way on startup to detect if the workbook is in read only mode or not (Other than the basic notifications and indications that excel gives as many users either ignore or do not understand them). If so I would like a big message to popup stating this fact to the user and also if possible show them who currently has it open. Lastly, they would have a cancel workbook open option until they get the other user to exit.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there's any way to sum inside a closed workbook by usin' VBA? I think I figured out how to do it just with formulas, but I was hoping to be able to make like a macro or something to do it, 'cause its kind of time consuming having to go back and forth to all these workbooks.
Is there a formula or vba code that would allow me to get the max value from a column in a closed file/workbook?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running a call centre with 20 users at peak time. I have 1 user who will always have a master workbook open and saving throughout the day. The remainder of the users during calls will need to open this file as read-only to simply view the latest saved version.
This works however sometimes is takes a over a minute for the file to download from the server for the read only box to appear. I was wondering if there was a way for the other users to view it in a simpler and quicker way?
Also issues with the 1 user saving the file which others have it open as read only?
I have created an Add-in for use across the business, the add in calculates financial impact based on figures that are stored on the shared drive.
The addin currently opens the workbook, and sets the variables to figures contained in the workbook - and then closes the workbook.
To roll this out to the business - I need to get the add-in to open the workbook as read Only, so that it will allow multiple users to access at once. I have set to open as read only in the past - however this prompts me to save the workbook as something else.
Is there any way I can get this to just open as read only, do what it needs to - and then close; without having the option to save as something else?
i need a way to alter the state of a workbook to "editable" then save and then switch back to "read only"
reason being is i need to hide tabs evertime the workbook is closed
I was wondering if there is a way to set a macro to run on an event only if the workbook is read-only. The macro I have set up right now reformats the toolbars to a custom user friendly one, but I want to be able to open the document with a password and not have the toolbars rearange on me.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a file that's only instruction is to open another workbook in Read Only; this is due to not having network privileges to make the entire folder Read Only.
I'm getting one user on the network where the Workbook.Open script doesn't fire up automatically and I can't see why. Then ocassionally i'm getting users where the file hasn't closed itself after the file has been opened.
Is there any obvious reason for both of these happening?
Code:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Workbooks.Open FileName:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "iSS.xls", ReadOnly:=True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
ThisWorkbook.Close False
I have a shared Excel Workbook, and I am trying to prevent a non-permitted user from making any changes to it. I have managed to hide all of the worksheets bar one - The Warning Page - if the user is not one of my chosen users, but I am having a little trouble setting the worksheet to open as "read-only" if the user is not one that I have listed.
My macro code looks a bit like this:
If Application.UserName = "Vikki" Then
Sheets("Warning!").Visible = False
Sheets("Total").Visible = True
Else
Sheets("Warning!").Visible = True
Sheets("Total").Visible = False
ActiveWorkbook.ChangeFileAccess Mode:=xlReadOnly
End If
But when I am using this, a non-user will get a msg box asking if they want to save the workbook before changing to read only. Can I prevent this msg box from appearing?
