I have few macros that I use to reconfigure a particular workbook into a sort of "developer mode". I keep them in a text file that I can paste them from when I'm working on it and then delete them before I send it out to other people.
I'd like to be able to script them so they only run if the workbook is open on a specific machine (namely mine). Is there any way to identify the specific computer a spreadsheet is being run on?
I've a workbook (XL 2003) test-1.xls, and I need to restrict it to a specific computer with ID: my-a1234567k
(shown under ControlPanel::System::Computer Name::Full computer name).
Is it possible to code such restriction in the w/b Open() event to prevent opening the w/b on a different computer?
My computers each has a different OS (Win 2000, Win XP Home, Win XP Prof ), different Excel version (XL 2000, 2003, 2007), etc., and the majority of my workbooks have been developed and would work only in certain environment (e.g.; in XL 2003 only, or XL 2007 only, ... ).
We use a spreadsheet to log all transactions at our front desk. I've made a column that automatically calculates the time when a transaction is input into a row. The formula is as follows:
=IF(D5="","",IF(A5="",NOW(),A5))
This morning that formula stopped working on the computer at the front desk, returning a message about a circular reference. I can open that same spreadsheet on my computer as well as others in the office and it calculates fine, but of course on the one computer on which I need it to work, it won't ;P
All computers are using Excel 97. Presumably a setting has changed on the front desk computer that's affecting this calculation.
I am attempting to copy a range from one worksheet and paste it to a new worksheet when the system clock hits a specific time. It needs to run continuously and identify that a previous colum has been filled and paste into the next open column. I am just getting my feet wet. I have some code to begin with but I am getting a 1004 error.
'Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("mysheet").Select
Range("E3:E10").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("CmyOtherSheet").Select

I am developing a macro to select cells within a worksheet based on certain criteria and to make a list of their range names. My approach is to copy the range names to a column of cells using something like the following text:
Sheets("mySheet").Range("myRange").Name.Copy
but I get an error message saying "Object doesn't support this property or method". Why can't I copy a range name, and is there a way to work around this?
I am trying to identify repeat customers with a view to removing the purchase if the customer buys the same product within 5 days.
If the same customer buys a different product each day then I would like to count each purchase.
If the same customer buys the same product every day I would only like to count it once every 5 days.
I have tried using COUNTIFS for this. Formula in column D where A contains the Customer, B the Purchase Date and C the Product:

I have a spreadsheet with columns and columns of data. What I'd like to do is identify which rows have blank/no data in all specified columns (H, K, O, S, U, W, and Y).
To clarify, I need to identify each row where all of these columns are blank (as opposed to each row where at least 1 column is blank).
I have these kind of matrices (below) and I'd like to identify unique values specific to different groups of columns:
[Code] .........
For instance, in the example above, if we decide that A, B, C are "Group 1" and D, E, F are "Group 2", and that the values in rows 1, 2, 3 are independent (i.e., "x" in "1" is not comparable to "x" in "2", etc):
- In condition (row) 1: "x" is a specific value only found in Group 1
- In condition 1: "y" is a specific value only found in Group 2
- In condition 2: "x" is a value found in majority in Group 1
- In condition 3: no specific value can be associated to Group 1 or 2.
What I would like to get is a measure of whether:
(1) there are values over-represented in one of the groups, or 100% specific to one group.
(2) what are these values
(3) if multiple values are a bit tricky, then: what is the value which is the most over-represented in one group compared to the other (the maximum being 100% in one group and 0% in the other)
So i'm try to automate a process that I currently do using filters.
Here is the problem:
I have a list of text in a column (usually 700 or so entries).
I need to remove any entries that contain 1 of 42 keywords.
So I need a fast way to search each cell for each one of the 42 key words and flag the cell for deletion if contains anyone of the 42.
example
A
1 This field has keyword1
2 This field has keyword2
3 This field doesn't have any of the 42 keywords
somewhere else I would have a list of keywords in a column.
I paste new data into a sheet of a monthly report I prepare. For this sheet, the # of data rows change (and is unpredictable) every month. I need the value inside a specific cell that dynamcially moves up and down based on the # of rows for that month (because it's below the rows of data).
So I made a formula to identify the exact cell # every month.
Example:
This month the exact cell is F255 in the "Refi" sheet.
So my formula in the "Summary" sheet cell A1 first finds the cell row # only (255) and since it's always column F, in B1 I have
VB:
="F" & (A1)
This outputs "F255" in B1, successfully identifying the target cell.
Now how do I write a formula in C1 to grab the value from whatever cell is named in B1. (For this month, the value in cell F255 from the "Refi" sheet)
Is there a code available that can be used to get the user's computer ID number (Not Computer Name)? I'm using a password generator to randomly generate a password and I would like to use this unique password with the user's Computer ID.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHere's the scenario. A co-worker and I access the same file from the same online database and download it in the same manner. We have the same version of excel. We then open these identical files, we run a formatting macro (identical), but when it comes time to set the page breaks in order to get the items to print on the same page I have to increase a columns width to make it fit on one page and yet it still doesn't match theirs. It appears to have a different scale but I'm not sure of the option difference between our machines. I don't know how it could be the printer since it physically gives her different page break option than what mine does.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Age calculating formula in an excell cell, which calculates the age as on another date.
The forumala is =IF(E4="","",IF($C$1="","",ROUNDDOWN(($C$1-E4)/365,0))) where E4 is the date of birth and C1 is the date in which I want the age calculated to be.
The above formula works very well on my computer, but does not on any other computer. If I access it from my sent items or from a shared drive, it works perfectly on mine, but not on any other computer!!! I get a #value error message on all other computers.
I have tried the foll:
If i enter =ISNUMBER(C1) where the age has to be calculated, I get #Name?
If I enter =ISNUMBER(E4), i get TRUE
The above is on the sheet where it does not work ( on others computer ) and i get TRUE for both on mine. Also both have the same date formats and same time zones...
I am having trouble with transferring a Macros to another computer. I have saved and sent the file via e-mail as a .xls and .xlsm to no avail and tried other methods of transferring the macros to the other computer. Also No I cannot copy paste the coding information to the other computer since there are multiple macros buttons since they are add one item and subtract one item from separate rows for inventory at a warehouse (about 100+ rows x 2 = about 200+ macros buttons).
