I have created a cover sheet with various command buttons linking into the available worksheets. I was wondering if it is possible to set the title of the command buttons by linking them to the text in a particular cell in each work sheet??
I am trying to create a sheet with 'buttons' on, a bit like a 'linked table of contents', that will take the user to individual sheets (as opposed to clicking on the sheet tabs). I can see how to place Command buttons on a sheet (in this case Sheet1), but I think I need help with the code to make the buttons function as I envisage. Is this in the scope of help via this forum?
Is it possible to have a user form command button perform link or steps that are recorded with macro recorder? I am trying to reformat cut and paste a xls raw data file. I am trying to keep my file uploads to a min., but can upload an example if necessary.
There is a 'Home' page with a button for each employee - clicking the button takes the user to the appropriate employee's timesheet
There is also an 'Add New Employee' button on the home page which brings up a form and allows a new employee to be added.
Each employee has only 1 worksheet (Which is created based on a blank template page)
When the 'Add New Employee' button is clicked a form pops up which ask for name, D.O.B etc. The user fills out the form and clicks ok. The template sheet is then copied, renamed to the employees name, and all relevent fields are added to the template sheet (based on the users input). A button is also generated on the home page with the employees name as a caption and when it is clicked it goes to employees timesheet.
I have almost got this working.
The only problem is this only works once, So For Example say i Add 'John' then i add 'Mary' on the home page i now have 2 buttons with 'John' and 'Mary' on them. The problem is as soon as a second employee is added (Mary), the first employees button(John) is linked to the second employee's Sheet rather than its own(Mary). and after the spreadsheet is closed the buttons dont work at all.
The link below has the spreadsheet i have made so far, you can test it out if my description doesnt make sense or you can see the code behind the 'add new employee' form:
############################################################ #### 'Add Employee' Button on Add New Employee Form #### ############################################################
Private Sub cmdadd_Click()
'check for Name If Trim(Me.EmpName.Value) = "" Then ..............................
I'm trying to make a command button copy the text from a text box on a multipage control to the active cell in the sheet. I have been able to make it paste the text once it is manually selected and copied to the clipboard but that is all. I've tried recording a macro but that doesn't seem to work in the userform. I need it to copy the text from the active multipage tab (from a textbox) and paste into the sheet's active cell.
Is there a way to program a VBA button so that its cell location is known. For ex., I have a button that says "Fail". I'd like to program it in such a way that when the user clicks on it, the text "Fail" is inserted into the cell next to it. How do I avoid hard-coding the cell reference?
I have 6 text boxes on 5 different tabs all with their own spin button that will push the number up or down, starting from the default value. How do i lock/restrict the text box entry so, the spin button is the only way of changing the value?
Need coding of command button to output text based on the contents of combobox1 and combobox2. The text should be placed in the next available cell starting in cell b3 for combobox1 and starting in cell c3 for combobox2. Each time submit is clicked the name and number associated with that name should go in the next free cell in the spreadsheet.
So for example the user choses name1 and number6 cell b3 would read name1 and cell c3 would read number6 after submit is clicked. The user then choses name58 and number12 and presses submit again cell b4 would read name58 and cell c4 would read number12.
I have created an ActiveX command button and the text on the button looks crude. I know that is not very descriptive but I am unsure how to describe it. The text looks jagged and some letters are missing chunks of their letters. The font I have chosen is Calibri.
If I create a Form Controls button I do not have this problem but I want the button to have a particular background color so I do not believe I can use a Form Controls button.
I do not know why the other Calibri text on the worksheet looks fine while the ActiveX Calibri text does not. The attached image shows the two buttons with the top one being the ActiveX button while the bottom is a Forms button.
how to put together a macro for a command button that deletes rows with certain text in a docyment - which worked fine a week or so ago - but now the macro will not work.
I made changes to the document - but made sure i also made changes to the code.
I need a macro for button1. The name of button one is "on" when clicked I want it to put an "X" in A1 and then change the button name to "off" When clicked again I want it to delete the "X" in A1 and change the name back to "on". When clicked again it repeats the same process.
I have used the Forms toolbar to create a command button on a chart.
However, the text for the command button is hidden. If I do an "Edit Text" on the button, it shows up, but otherwise the button appears blank, even when selected.
How do you references the properties of a shape? I am having trouble with 2 different types. Firstly, I have a worksheet with a group of commandbuttons (all added using the Control toolbox) and I want to loop through them changing, for example, the enabled property of each to TRUE.
Secondly, I have some commandbuttons on a worksheet (added using the Forms toolbox). How would I loop through changing, say, the text on the buttons. I used the macro recorder to try to get an idea and got the following:
Sheet1.Shapes("button 15").Select Selection.Characters.Text = "New Text"
Although this works, it is not very elegant, how can it be achieved without selecting the button each time, but rather by directly accessing the property.
I have a worksheet with 2 buttons labelled "Hide" and "Show". As the names imply, they allow the user to hide or show parts of the worksheet. I would like to combine them into one button and have the button label and the associated macro change with each press of the button. Here is what I have so far;
Sub SHOW_LEADS() Rows("10:15").Select Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = False ActiveSheet.Shapes("Button 20").Select Selection.Characters.Text = "HIDE LEADS" Range("A1").Select 'is there a better way to remove the focus from the button than selecting a cell off the button? End Sub
Sub HIDE_LEADS() Rows("10:14").Select Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = True ActiveSheet.Shapes("Button 20").Select Selection.Characters.Text = "SHOW LEADS" Range("A1").Select End Sub
These macros change the label fine after hiding or unhding the rows but I can't find the proper terms to use to change the macro associated with the button (if there is one?)
Is it possible that when you press a command button, that the first thing it does is to execute the code assigned to another command button (IE in another sub).
I'm a complete Excel and VBA newbie and would like to know if it's possible to change the output of OptionButtons from 'TRUE' or 'FALSE' to "1"/"2"/"3"/etc..
The name of each button is:
Rating 1 Rating 2 Rating 3 Rating 4 and so forth..
The idea is for each rating to output its assigned number such that if the user were to click "Rating 1", the result would be "1", "Rating 2" = 2 and so on. I'm trying to design a survey and these results will then be used to calculate an average rating. If this is possible, how would I need to write the code for it?
I've got a problem with the used spinbuttons. The code I used (see below)allows the user to choose a column (with the option button(A,B,C,D,E) in which changes would be made and than changes the value of the given cell according to the name of the spinbutton (which specifies the row). This forces me to use about 80 spinbuttons in a single sheet, and the whole workbook comprises of over 30 sheets pumping the whole file to a size of over 3 MB. To reduce the file size I need a code that would link a master spinbutton (one per sheet) to any active cell (the "just clicked one")
Private Sub sel(ByRef Column As String) For Each obj In Application.ActiveSheet. OLEObjects If obj.progID = "Forms.SpinButton.1" Then obj.LinkedCell = Column & (Val(Mid$(obj.Name, 11)) + 3) End If Next obj End Sub
How to hide command button based on another cell?’ [URL] .....
This works faultlessly but for only 1 Button. I tried adding in the code again for a second Button but it creates a conflict. I made a slight adjustment to your original code, to show the button when the cell is populated, which works well…
[Code] .....
Any way I can:-
1. Add additional buttons which reference their own cell?
I have sheet1 having two formulas. Ideally I can copy and paste the formula to the entire column, However this then populates , say 3000 cells unnecessarily which slows down excel performance or increases size of the file.
I am looking for a vba ( this is used to open userform) To include copy formula from filled cell above to next empty row ( cells will be in column K & L)
So every-time userform is opened, the formula is copied to next empty row.
I have a spreadsheet that I'm using as a call log for a support desk. Sometimes, when the problem is outside of my scope, I have to call in a ticket to a helpdesk.
I want to keep the call log separate from the ticket list, but I want to be able to reference a ticket number for a specific call or vice versa using a command button.
