Using VBA Code In Visual Basic: Develop A Stand Alone Program In Visual Basic
Jun 3, 2006I would like to do is develop a stand alone program in Visual Basic ( not in Excel VBA) to update the price file in our Portfolio system automatically using the downloaded Excel format file csv extention file from the BigCharts. But before that, I need to export the *.pri file from our Portfolio system in to Excel which still saves as *.pri extention. Then once it updates, I import the updated *.pri file back in our Portfolio program. I understand that the Excel VBA code can be incorporated in Visual Basic code provided there is an object declaration for Excel file (In this case eventhough the both files are in Excel format, they don't have xls extention). how to use external files and Excel VBA code in Visual Basic?
Below is the code that I currently have in Visual Basic. What I'm trying to accomplish is using the ticker (eg. msft) as a keyword search to look up in the price file. If found , the price of that ticker from the test.csv file will be copied in to the price file which is test.pri. I haven't ran it yet.
Sub UpdatePrice(BigChartPath As String, BigChartName As String, AxysPricePath As String, AxysPriceName As String)
'Below are Excel VBA codes
'Uses the test.csv to look up tickers in test.pri and update the price in it
Dim PriceFile As Workbook, BigChartFile As Workbook
Dim PriceFileSheet As Worksheet, BigChartSheet As Worksheet
Dim MaxRows As Long
Dim PriceFileRow As Long
Dim BigChartRow As Long
Dim BigChartFound As Boolean
Call CheckBookOpen(BigChartPath & BigChartName)
Call CheckBookOpen(AxysPricePath & AxysPriceName)
Set BigChartFile = Workbooks(BigChartName) 'Big Chart website imported CSV file saved as test.csv...............
Import Multiple Text Files & Copy Each Import
Jan 29, 2008I'm attempting to import around 200 (and growing!) separate text files into Excel. I am using the formula below to import the text file and then using a separate macro to select the information I need, copy it into another spreadsheet, and then run the import macro again.
However, I have a problem in that my import macro gives me 'Run-time error '1004:
Application defined or user defined error''. At first this wasn't a problem as the information is pasted into the spreadsheet despite the error anyway. However, now that I am looping the macro it is obviously causing more problems as it prevents the loop. I would really appreciate it if anyone knows of a work-around or can spot an error in the coding to resolve this!
The code below shows is for the import macro only:
Sub ImportTextFile(FName As String, Sep As String)
Dim RowNdx As Long
Dim ColNdx As Integer
Dim TempVal As Variant
Dim WholeLine As String
Dim Pos As Integer
Dim NextPos As Integer
Dim SaveColNdx As Integer
Import CSV Every X Minutes Without Import Dialog Appearing

VBA Vs Visual Studio
Nov 18, 2007I am using my spare time to learn how to create macros (for the first time) in Excel and Powerpoint in order to the use the programs more efficiently (since I spend way too much time on the them
I am SOOOO confused as to what the scoop is with VBA vs. VB net vs Visual Studios? Is there an expert that can provide me with some guidance given that this is the first (and probably the only) time I will be learning a programming language for Excel & Ppt
Here are my questions:
1) Which programming language should I invest my time to learn if you were in my situation? This is complicated by the fact that most corporations do are not using Office 2007 and (from my experience) are utilzing Excel 2003
2) If I choose to learn Visual Studio or VBA 2007, will my knowledge of the language enable me to use VBA in Excel 2003?
3) If I create a macro in (for eg.) excel 2007, will it run in excel 2003?

How To Add Visual Aspect To Macro
Aug 18, 2014I would like to add some visual aspects to my lottery macro. Like numbers flipping through the range as they appear (and I can control how long they flip through the range) and maybe a little rand () function as the numbers are picked. How would I do this and where would I add these two aspects???

Apr 11, 2007I have a workbook that has a login form. I set it up so that if the user does not log in within 2 minutes a nother form will pop up telling them the workbook will close due to no activity. What I want to do is put a timer on that for that counts down the seconds before the workbook exits and at the sametime give them an opportunity to cancel the action.

Visual Basic To Access Web
Aug 4, 2007My company "makes widgets". Each "type of widget" is associated in our internal database with a record locator (five alpha characters). Our company website can also use that record locator to pull up a webpage specifically dedicated to that widget. In addition to the webpage itself, the website also creates an expanded URL which contains additional information about that widget.
I'd like my macro to take a list of record locators, open up the company website related to each specific widget, pull back the expanded URL, and do some text management with the URL to populate other parts of the spreadsheet.
For example, if my record locator is "ABCDE", my macro would go to the website, "http://www.widgets.com/ABCDE". The site then redirects to an expanded URL: "http://www.widgets.com/whole-bunch-of-data-about-the-ABCDE-widget". I'd hope to write a macro which pulls back the expanded URL and does some magic with the "whole bunch of data" part. I've been told that the MSHTML library would be useful for a project of this type. I've been able to connect my spreadsheet to that library, but then I'm not sure what to do with it.
How To Combine If Formulas With Visual Basics
Aug 12, 2014I have an excel sheet that have a large set of datas. In these datas in one column most of the datas are indicated as green but some of them are red. I can pick the red ones by using filter option but I also wanted to show the red cell values in one cell. For example, Cell1;Cell2;Cell3 like this (the ; should be between them). I try to use macros but that is not the program that I have full knowledge about it. S
( Like this
IF
A(i)= red
Then
B(i)=A(i)
end if
)

Lost Visual Basic Project
Oct 24, 2008Have a project going and have had a disturbing trend develop. I'm working in Excel 2003. Upon opening the file and enabling macros, I started receiving File/Path errors, at which point it would shut down the application. When opened, I have a splash that would come up, but it wouldn't go to the next userform. At this point I would get the error message and the file would be closed. If I then reopened the file, disabled macros, saved under a different file name, and then reopened with macros enabled, everything worked fine, until I shut it down and then tried to reopen, at which point the same error would occur.
Lately I have simply been getting the Microsoft Excel dialogue box telling me an unexpected error occurred and it had to be shut down. I'm at a loss for what is causing this. The last time this happened, when Excel recovered the file, it told me a repair had been done, and the repair was to basically delete all of the VBA code from the file.
Visual Basic Compiler - Odd Performance
Nov 23, 2009I am encountering a situation wherein each line of VBA code is essentially compiled as I type on that line, instead of when I move to a different line. For example, if the code I entered is incorrect, the compiler waits about half a second and then turns it red. Also, if I enter a space, it deletes it immediately.

Visual Limitations Of Cells From One Computer To Another
Nov 19, 2013I got this wonderful, beautiful spreadsheet/template i'm using now for my small business, and well, i've got it all tweaked and tuned so it looks beautiful on my screen (100% view in excel). I can look at it, and they way it looks, is the way it prints whether i opt for a PDF or (EEEEEK!) paper. I've sent this report and template i've put together with Mrexcel's support, and it's all primp and pretty and the person i send the spreadsheet to for review? he's looking at it at the same 100%, and lines are cut off when multiple rows are merged that have multiple sentences typed (technically reference to) in. he's tried to print both pdf and paper from his computer and had no issue. it comes out perfect. It only looks visually cut off. we're trying to avoid a second transmission back to me to reformat say something needs to be omitted. QA if you will.
my question: Is this some sort of issue relative to our screen resolution? is there a way i can optimally get what he is seeing when he views it electronically to be what i'm seeing electronically?
Microsoft Visual Basic Error 400
May 2, 2007My code here...

Else
Range("IJobDescription").Select
Selection.ClearContents
End If
For I = 1 To 5
Range("Qty" & I).Select
Selection.ClearContents
Next
End Sub
keeps giving me an error 400. I have reinstalled xl just to see if it was related toan error I recieved earlier relating to VBE6.dll. This still works in another workbook but it doesn't work in this one. All I did was change the Range names and cleaned it up a bit.
Visual Basic Opens Automatically
Oct 19, 2009I have a VB problem, and it's driving me nuts.
Whenever I run a macro on excel the Microsoft VB editor opens and shows me what the macro looks like. It also runs the macro.
Now, I would very much like it to keep running macros, but I really don't need to see my code every time. It gets really annoying, and I need to run about 40 or 50 different macros on one sheet. How can I make it go away?
PS! It's Excel 2007 for students, Norwegian version.

I need to find the no. of alarms for each type and then display a bar chart for the alarm type vs. frequency of its occurence.

Open Workbook With Visual Basic (VB)
Jul 10, 2007I am trying to open a closed workbook, auto update and save. Here is the code i have so far:
Dim xlBook As Excel.Workbook
Try
xlBook.Add()
xlBook.Open(FileName:="C:Old Tanglewood Numbers.xls", UpdateLinks:=1)
Now, the xlBook.Add() line is something I just added. I am not sure if it works but i dont think it does. Everytime i try to use Workbooks.Open it tells me that i need to decalre Workbooks, which i thought i did with xlBook. Anyway, I cant get it to work, something is throwing it out of whack.
Set Cell Values From Visual Elements
Jan 16, 2008I'm using excel worksheets to design a form (not a userform) to be used on a touchscreen tablet pc. Often this form will be used to count various objects or observations. For user-friendliness and ease of use, I wanted to provide a 1-click way to enter a text or numeric value into a cell.
There are somewhat standard values that need to get entered (yes/no; yes/no/unsure; 1-5; 1-10; etc.); however there are certain instances where I want to be able to modify the values to be entered. (i.e. 1-10, with ability to apply +10... so they then become 11-20).
There are many questions, and I want to reuse the 'component' and code to be able to assign a value to a cell based on clicking a visual element. The visual element containing the value that was assigned in the cell should also change color to indicate that it is value that has been selected.
For the sake of helping to reduce possible back-and-forth elaboration and eventual proposed solutions in this thread, I'll quickly describe the implementation I tried to adopt, but which has led to issues.
These requirements led me to think that some representation of a button would be necessary; and I tried using grouped textboxes. I got it working well, but then performance crapped out once I started protecting/unprotecting the sheet (as excel doesn't allow reading the value of a grouped textbox, i had to do a build shape-range / ungroup / loop thru shaperange / regroup).
Dave suggested that groups are perhaps not necessary, so I've created this thread. Any/all suggestions welcome. See attached xls file for an example of where I've gotten so far (i.e. this is functionality I want to have, but perhaps a different implementation (non-grouped?) would be possible, which does not suffer from performance issues once incorporating protection/unprotection of a sheet)
Scheduling Spreadsheet Visual Report
Apr 9, 2008I am wanting to have a schedule posted as 8:00am to 5:00pm to show up in a format that shows the interval every thirty minutes with either a 1 or a zero so that I can calculate each intervals total staffing. Also if a break or lunch is entered I would like it to show a zero or .5 in the field (.5 being for 15 mins and 0 for anything taking the full 30 mins).

Okay so so I have a column of cells named "Fringe Benefit Type" you can choose different letters to corropand to different types. Now I have set the letter "U" to be the one I want and that works. Now the next cell is called "Hire Season". Now (stay with me here) IF "Fringe Benefit Type" is equal to "U", I don't want the user to be able to enter anything into "Hire Season".
I am using the visual basic thing, which already has some code, but I am not understanding it too well.
