I want to insert linked AutoCAD files into a worksheet.
When I select "Insert, Object, Create From File, Browse..." & select AutoCAD file I get error message "Cannot insert object"
I can follow same process, but with a Solidworks drawing & it works fine.
I need to install the relevant graphics filter "Dxfimp32.flt", but I can't find it anywhere.
Strangley, if I copy images directly from AutoCAD screen, I'm able to paste them into a worksheet, but as an embedded object. Whilst this suggests I have some AutoCAD graphics ability, I still can't insert a linked file.
I have some data in Excel that I want to export to AutoCAD using VBA Code in Excel. But I don't want to have a table inserted in AutoCAD, but polylines and multitext. Is it possible?
If someone could give me an example, how to draw simple polyline and insert mtext in AutoCAD (from Excel VBA Code) I should be able do do the rest.
I am trying to extract (and separate into 3 columns) the numbers only, positive or negative portion of (XYZ) Coordinates copied from AutoCAD and pasted into column A X = 96179.9699 Y = 61973.9793 Z = 1368.0025 In column B,C and D, I have tried to use Find Mid and other means
I'm generating an access database right now and want to import information off of a pdf and have it import all applicable data into a table I've created in Access. This will save me hours and hours of copying data.
Problem: The pdf was generated from AutoCAD, and when I convert to a spreadsheet, numerous cells are merged. I've been trying to come up with a logic statement to build a new concise table, and skip all blank cells. If I need to clarify this let me know. I'll attach a picture so you can see what I'm working with.
how to get the data from the pdf into access, that works too!
I have created a 'price list' database in ACCESS. Then in EXCEL I created a pivot table which retrieves data from one of the database queries (the query was saved as a .dqy file).
I emailed the file containing the pivot table to a colleague who is on the same server. He saved the excel file on he desktop & renamed it. When I update the databse file on a shared public drive on the server, he is able to 'refresh' his desktop file successfully !!
We have a set of workbooks with a linked Vlookup formula. When we email the file to staff that do not have access to the linked file, the linked formula seems to change the directory. see below
Original Formula =VLOOKUP($A$30,'G:Variance Reports FY07[Salary Dist Var Repts_Cur Mth.xls]end of July'!$E$76:$G$200,3)
Formula after user opens email with the drive changed automatically to C =VLOOKUP($A$30,'C:Variance Reports FY07[Salary Dist Var Repts_Cur Mth.xls]end of July'!$E$76:$G$200,3)
Note that the user does not have access to the G drive and they are not updating the links when they open the file.
I need to link my code to data from a different Excel file. I feel it is smth simple, i just have never done this before. In a regular (=same file) setting, my code would be smth like that:
With Worksheets("Daily1") j = 1 Do Until IsEmpty Range("A6").Offset(j - 1, 0).Value) j = j + 1 Loop m = j End With
What would be the syntax if data instead comes from, say, Z:Brazildata.xls. In general, when I retrieve data from another file, do I always have to use "With - End With" structure?
I have a summary file in which I capture data from multiple sheets in one existing file (targetfile.xls).
One month might contain sheets that do not exist next month. When updating (edit) links, Excel reports an error (invalid external reference) on the first missing sheet, and does not continue checking/updating links for the rest of the document.
I tried =IF(ISERROR( SUM('[targetfile.xls]sheet1'!$M:$M)),0,SUM('[[targetfile.xls]sheet1'!$M:$M)),
I have attached an example spreadsheet to describe what I am working with. I was wondering if there is an easy way to have it so that everything in Column A is hyper linked to the ship bill file. This list can exceed over 1000 and to hyper link each line is too much, is there an automatic way to do this? For example. I would like the value '00001 in cell A2, to be hyper linked to the file "Shipping Bill - 00001" So that I can just click on the link and open up the file. The shipping bill files are in the same folder as the example spreadsheet.
I have a workbook with a button to get updated data. The button simply opens the other workbook and then closes it. THe problem is it opens the book and then closes it before the opened book has a chance to finish it calculation resulting in lots of #value errors. The book that is being opened works fine but because it is shared it can't be left open and needs to be closed asap, though it should be allowed to finsih calcs before it gets closed again. If anyone know a way to make the following temporarily halt until the opened book finishes calculating before it closes it.
I have a workbook with several sheets with formulas, etc. one of the sheets its like a "resume" of the workbook. I want that sheet with the "resume" to be visualized by other person's without giving the access to the workbook.
The idea it's a file with linked data with the workbook that have the sheet with the "resume". When I change some data in the workbook the file with the linked data must be updated when someone open it and cannot edit, it is just for visualization.
I've inserted a Solidworks drawing into a worksheet & wish to change the displayed image using VB. I suspect this could be done by changing it's source file, but can't get the code to work.
I am trying to write some VBA that will select a row of cells that each have links to cells in another workbook, and then either autofill the formulas down (or pastespecial them down) for 20 rows. I have that part down using either pastespecial or autofill, but -
Since the forumulas are links to another workbook, Excel wants to resolve that link to calculate the values at the time of the pastespecial or autfill. If the sourced workbook is not open, the "browse for file" popup displays. I don't want the popup to display and would rather just get the #REF in the pasted cells and let it resolve the next time the sourced workbook is open. The end result would be like clicking "cancel" to the "browse for file popup", which I'm tired of constantly doing... I would just like to skip that popup all together and get the #REF value.
Got a slight problem; I am making a "worker-plan", where you should be able to write a name on one file and have it updated (removed) from the equivalent columns on another file automatically. Here's an example with two separate projects:
Project 1 before and after changes: Attachment 257366 Attachment 257367
Project 2 before and after changes: Attachment 257368 Attachment 257369
You can see here how I intended it to work. When one worker is moved from Project 1 to Project 2, that worker should also be removed from those weeks in Project 1. The previous worker from Project 2 should also be removed from those weeks (in Project 2).
Are there any formulas that can make this work automatically? All week numbers will belong to the same columns in all files.
Edit: There are 30 files that should be syncronized, not just two.. I could also gather all files into one file with sheets, instead of having seperate files.
I am putting together a price list in excel and using images and hyperlinks to jazz it up a bit - what I am finding is that if I insert a 25KB GIF image, the excel file grows in size by over 100KB
why is this disproportionate growth happening and is there a way around it - I dont want my Price List growing too large but need the images....?
I'm trying to insert a hyperlink to another excel file such that when you click on the link it opens that file up... When i go to insert a hyperlink and i select the file.. when i click on the file it says "the adress of this site is not valid. Check the address and try again" The file is on another drive on the server and i was wondering what the restrictions are in terms of where the files have to be in relativity to each other
I want to insert image on my userform, but I have problems with It. Image is originally .png and has no background, which is what I need.
Excel doesn't allow me to use .png, so I had to convert It to .jpg, but then background is included. Even that would be o.k., If I could somehow change picture background to "&H8000000F&" system colour, but failed to do that also.
So I tried with converting file to .ico, and again Excel recognizes It as invalid picture.
I just want to insert image, and leave background same colour as Userform.
I had copied a macro from this forum [it was posted by either shg or NBVC], and I modified it to fit my needs. The macro creates a new word document and sends a series of cells from an excel worksheet column to this word file. Everything works fine, but now I need to insert a picture after row 14. I have inserted the code [colored red], but I am sure the syntax or something isn't right. That part doesn't work.
I am making one project in excel where I want to add time zone converter Or time zone search in engine in excel for that purpose I have create one portable software for time conversion but I am unable to add or insert or embed it in excel as it is an exe file.
I have attached one winzip file that is carrying Age Calculator in it so that you can have a brief understanding about how does the portable software looks like, age calculator is a portable software as it does not need installation & it works as we run it. I am also attaching excel demo file with it by the name ""time zone", its rough simulacrum of my original project file.
if there is an easy way of showing the active file "Last Saved Date" on a Userform and have it show automatically when the Userform is opened? The Scenario is:
I have a "Main" userform screen and I want to have a text line which says, "File last updated on xx/yy/zzzz ". This must show up automatically when the "main" userform is opened.

Workbook Password Protect 2 Levels. I have managed to write simple but effective code that allows only one password to be enetered to open a SS & offers 3 levels of protection, limited permission to enter data, read-only & data completely hidden. This is excellent for my needs however I want the user who has limited rw to be able to insert a pic file which is their signature but because the sheet has protected cells it won't allow user to insert picture jpg file.
I have just thought of a creative solution tho. What if the picture file is already saved in the workbook and by using code to ask to insert pic file it copies from one location in SS to the appropriate cell in the worksheets?
The scenario is that I have fortnightly timesheets in 12 calendar months in 12 separate sheets. When staff member fills in timesheet I want them to insert signature for that f/night indicating thatthey have filled it in & it is correct but because of protection it won't allow me to.
