Incorrect Username For Workbook In Use
May 14, 2008
Usually when you try to open a file that someone else is using, it lets you know the file is in use, and lets you know who is using it. However, the situation I have is that when a user tries to open the file that is in use, it tells them that the file is in use, but gives them the wrong user who is using it!
For example, User1 opens the file and closes it again. User2 comes along and opens the file and stays in the file. User3 comes along and tries to open the file, but instead of saying User2 is using the file. It says User1 is using!
The file we have was originally built in Excel 97, but we using it through compatibility mode in Office 2007. The file is needed by various users, but putting it on shared access is not an option.

I have a problem with the Excel UserName & opening of a second xls File. Info:
The first file macro, looks as to the Excel UserName, and sets which worksheets from a second file in the network the person can see. then changes the Excel UserName to "helpdl", this is done because only 4 people have access to the Workbook on a network drive, see Code below (only the interesting part of the macro)
'Set the Excel UserName to "helpdl"
'(from Sub Change_UserName)
MyName = Application.UserName
OName = MyName
NewName = "HelpDL"
UserName = NewName
'Set the name of the Active File To "Slave"
Set wbSlave = ActiveWorkbook
'Open the Master from the Network (Wiesbaden server sv030100)
Workbooks.Open "\sv030100GruppenDL60116_MEWA Car Policy_Neukonzeption.xls"
'Set the name of the Active File to "Master"
Set wbMaster = ActiveWorkbook...........................

I have a thousand names on a column, and I have a several worksheet tabs as locations, such as CA, AZ, TX, and NY.
All names goes to main worksheet, show like this
apitchford 10 100 123
bkishpaugh 9 211 123
blee 14 234 111
cbonny 21 125 412
I need to pull a specific name, example, name = blee, move that name with all data on that row into TX.
I will need to set as automatically, becuase the names add and delete on the main worksheet, and will auto update those tab worksheets. (make sense?)
I have tried INDEX and MATCH, but they keep putting one data in, not all data.

I'm new to VBA so my i'm having alot of problems figuring out simple stuff.
Below is my script and when i run it, the dates turns out incorrect.
I noticed this only happens to dates that are before 13th of each month.
Example,
1st May 2008 ( 01/05/2008)
will turn up as
5th Jan 2008 ( 05/01/2008)
However when i manually open the file Todays trades.csv
The date looks just fine.
Is there some problem with using VBA to call up the file?

I have tried everything I can think of to get this to work.
I am searching column B for anything containing "Tease", then if found, look to see if column J contains a "W".
Excel doesn't report an error, but this doesn't work:
=SUMPRODUCT((B3:B40="*Tease*")*(J3:J40="W"))

I am having problems with the following formular in that it does not return what I am expecting.
I have 2 columns of data that hold Y/N values and I would like either "Yes" or "No" to be displayed in Col C for the 4 possible combinations that the interaction of Y and N in columns A&B give.
The data is
Col A:A = Y or N
Col B:B =Y or N
The four possible combinations and outcomes are:
Col A = Y & Col B = Y outcome in Col C = "Yes"
Col A = N & Col B = Y outcome in Col C = "Yes"
Col A = N & Col B = N outcome in Col C = "No"
Col A = Y & Col B = N outcome in Col C = "No"
The formular I have tried is:
=IF(OR(AND(A1="Y",B1="Y"),A1="N",B1="Y"),"Yes","No")
However while three of the outcomes for the combinations are correct (N/Y, Y/N, Y/Y), the output for the N/N combination is incorrect and returns "Yes" instead of "No".
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what is wrong with this?

I've got a sheet with a "Last Edited By:" field and I want this to be populated with the current users name i.e. I suppose I mean the user name that is assigned to Excel, as opposed to the XP log in... although I guess either would do. I'm OK on the change event thing, but just dont know the function to find the the current users name.

I've created a spreadsheet to 'translate' number/letter combinations (sub-levels in the UK education system) into a numerical value. I looked up how to do this on google and, through a bit of trial and error, worked out that the lookuptable has to be in alphabetical order, etc.
My problem is when I enter in any of the 'P' values (see attached), it returns 0.5.

I have a lot of calculations going on so I thought I would name some of the cells where factors come from to make it easier to follow.
I made a typo and named a cell wrong, is there a way to delete it? Right now I have a correct and incorrect name attached to the cell.

I have two pieces of code in module 1 and module 2 respectively:
This code is meant to find the first row number that has a string value of "" in column A:
HTML Code:
Sub Macro1()
Dim cell As Range
Dim r As Double
Dim p As String
For Each cell In Worksheets("stock in").Range("stockcode")
p = cell.Value
r = cell.Row
If p = "" Then Exit For Else
Next cell
End Sub
BTW column A will contain formulas that evaluate to "" so I assume cell.value will = "" even if it contains a formula?
In the second module a sort is executed on the range based on the number of rows:
HTML Code:
Sub Macro2()
'
' Macro2 Macro
'
Call Macro1
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Stock in").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Stock in").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("A4:A" & r) _
, SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
[Code] .......
My code is falling down because I think my variables arent scoped right or my code is in the wrong place. Also macro1 will eventually be executed from a button on a different sheet (I dont know if this will matter).
The whole point of this code is to get around the fact that if you perform A - Z sorts on cells that contain formulas those that evaluate to "" will be at the top leaving lots of blank rows before actual visible data.

I have a line of code that compares cell values with a variable.
Code:
dim rmycell as range
If rmycell.value = MyTarget then
This works fine when rmycell.value is empty or has a value. However, sometimes rmycell has a #VALUE! Error. When debugging the code I can see this error showing rymcell with a value of "Error 2015". The MyTarget variable is "abcdefg", so the If statement should resolve as
Code:
If rmycell.value = MyTarget then
becomes
Code:
If Error 2015 = "Abcdefg" then
Which should be a negative result. Except it isn't. The code that is conditional on a positive result runs whenever there is a #VALUE error, just as if the 2 values were equal.

I'm trying to create a new function in Excel and for some reason the syntax is incorrect and it won't let me use it in the sheet. I do not know what I'm doing wrong so any help would be appreciated. This function will allow me to interpolate the term structure of interest rates between dates (I think) My code is
Function INTSPOT(spots, year)
'Interpolates spot rates to year
Dim i As Integer, spotnum As Integer
spotnum = spots.Rows.Count
If Application.WorksheetFunction.Count(spots) = 1 Then
'Single rate given
INTSPOT = spots
Else 'Term structure given
If year = spots(spotnum, 1) Then
INTSPOT = spots(spotnum, 2)
Else
Do
i = i + 1
Loop Until spots(i, 1) > year
INTSPOT = spots(i - 1, 2) + (spots(i, 2) - spots(i - 1, 2)) * _
(year - spots(i - 1, 1)) / _
(spots(i, 1) - spots(i - 1, 1))
End If
End If
End Function

CTRL/END key combination should goto and select the last cell in a Worksheet. So for a Worksheet using Rows 1-4135 and Columns A-Z it should indicate Z4135 as the last cell
My current worksheet uses these Rows and Columns, but CTRL/END indicates last cell as being AB4506. (Inflated by 371 Rows and 2 Columns)
Deleting the unwanted Rows or Columns, or "Clearing contents" of them does not affect the result given by CTRL/END which still shows AB4506.
How can I adjust/correct the last cell indication?
Usual work-around is to select the wanted portion of the worksheet and copy it to a new blank worksheet, but is there an easier way?

I have a userform on which there is a frame containing 8 option boxes. After a query, the results are displayed in the form. If I have a value of 1 in a cell, optionbox1 is checked; a value of 2 checks optionbox2, etc. It works great EXCEPT when first initialized. At that point, it checks the last optionbox, even if the number is 1. I have built a next and previous feature to scan the data, and when I return to the first entry, the correct box is checked. I tried coding blanks into the fields prior to populating them, but I still get the same results. Is there some explanation available so that I may remedy this? I'd really like the first piece of data to be correct.

I'm trying to use the code listed below on the works shared drive. When I open up the worksheet and save it, my log on identity is left as required in Cell B2 etc.. When someone else uses the sheet it just leaves the company name in this cell and not their log on identity? The date & time function always works ok. Can anyone advise me if what I'm after is achievable.
The code I've used below was used from a previous string on a similar question.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Value = Now()
Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(0, 1).Value = Application.UserName

I have copied a macro off another board that get the username of the computer where the excel file is opened. It works fine on my pc but when I have sent the workbook to a colleague my username came up when he opened it. Also what I am trying to do is to modify the macro that does a vlookup on a range in worksheet 1 from where it picks name and surname (and transpose it onto worksheet 2 on cell A2), email (on B2), tel number (on C2) etc etc.

I have one column: in the first cell comes text (beginning either with the letter "L" or "R") and afterwards, in the next cell, comes a number (either "7" or "8"). Basically the column is made up of alternating cells containing either text (code of a movie) or numbers (responses to the respective movies). I want to find a formula which writes either:
- "correct" if the number "7" follows a cell containing the letter "L" or an "8" follows a cell containing the letter "R";
or
- "incorrect" if the number "7" follows a cell starting with the letter "R" or the number "8" follows a cell starting with the letter "L".
Basically the 8 is always correct with an R and the 7 with an L: ...

In the attached spreadsheet I'm using VLOOKUP to create a cross reference between worksheets JS and ITEM. If you will look at the ITEM worksheet cell reference H13 & H14. The correct value for H13 should be AMC, not 729. Is there a way to use the value in the Class column and Item ID column in combination to get the value AMC? Would MATCH & INDEX work? I'm not familiar with Match & Index. I'd appreciate some help here. I've got 15,404 records to evaluate this way.

This is so simple, yet Excel doesn't give the correct value. So, here you go, I only have 2 Cells and 2 Labels. One Label for one Number and the other Label for the other Number.
For the Pie Chart I chose Cells:
Cell B36 with the number $54288
Cell B39 with the number $166113
By simply viewing this one can see one of the Percentages should be around 33% and the other 66%. However, Excel gives it a Percentage of 25% and 75%.
How can I get the correct values?
