Link Cells To Chosen Workbook Macro Code
May 19, 2008
I am trying to write a code in VBA to collect data from several weekly workbooks, and list them up in a monthly workbook.
These weekly workbooks change names depending on the week, for example, we have:
Report week 1.xls
Report week 2.xls
Report week 3.xls
Report week 4.xls
Each report has the same layout, so the data I want will be in the same cells. However, as the report names change as the weeks in the year go on, I can't write the code for weeks 1-4 as they will not work with week 5 onwards!
I have found out how to chose a file of my choice using:
Sub GetImportFileName()
Dim FInfo As String
Dim FilterIndex As Integer
Dim Title As String
Dim FileName As Variant
' Set up list of file filters
FInfo = "All Files (*.*),*.*"
' Display *.* by default
FilterIndex = 5 ......................

I have created a Vacation Calendar workbook with 6 sheets. All the sheets contain the 12 month calendar. Each row contains an employee and the columns are the days of the week. I have to keep track of 5 departments. I have 5 supervisors that are on different sheets that need to be included on the 6th sheet. I have set conditional formating to show that when I type "v" in a cell that is will go green. Is there a way to populate this information to another sheet without having to copy and paste?

I have one list in one sheet that is source for the userform and combobox used on another sheet. With userform I make a choice and data is entered in one cell.
But is it possible to compare the choice that I make in combobox with the list on the first sheet and then make a simple link between these two cells, so that cell in the second sheet is always showing what is in the cell on the first sheet.
Reason for this is that items on the list on the first sheet sometimes change and I need to update the second sheet automatically.
Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
With Sheets("Presentation").Range("V18:V32")
Set c = . Find(cbochange.Value, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = c.Address
Do
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Formula = firstAddress
Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> firstAddress
End If
End With
Unload Me
End Sub

I have a spreadsheet setup which includes a number of checkboxes set up using the forms toolbar.
I would like to link each of these checkboxes (in sheet1) to a cell reference in sheet2. I'm trying to write a macro that will do this for me to save me right clicking, choosing format control etc for each checkbox.
I found the code on this page: http://www.mrexcel.com/archive2/51300/59643.htm
which appears to be similar to what I am trying to achieve. In this case it creates the checkboxes in cells B3:B20 and links them to C3:C20.
I have already created all the checkboxes, and wish to use a macro to link them (for example) to C3:C20 in sheet2.

I would like to write a macro that links cells in one workbook (working) to cells in another workbook (summary).
I don't want this to be a straight swap thought, I'd like it to contain the following formula:
=IF(Working!G8="a","a","")
The cells in the working workbook are listed vertically, while the cells in the summary workbook are listed horizontally.
ie. link G8-G18 in working to B3-K3 in summary
link H8-H18 in working to B4-K4 in summary
...etc

I have a summary workbook that I want to save into different folders designated by the input from my userform. My directory has folders named: "A051 - Watson", "A052 - Gila Bend", "A065 - Tompkins"... etc; but I want to designate which folder to put the summary workbook in by the first 4 characters in the folder names(A051,A056,A055...etc) Let me know if I made it clear enough.

I have different excel files in a specific folder. All the files have only two sheets with same kind of data, formatting etc. Now I want to merge selective files on need basis (only the first sheet data) into a new different worksheet in which I will be running the code. Provide me a macro which will ask me to select the files I want to merge. Also the data range of the files ( needs to be merged) will vary time to time, so the macro needs to take care of that as well.

I'd like to know if it is possible to run a macro in a workbook that will open another workbook (of the users choice) extract data from it, such as columns from its sheets then paste that data into the workbook the macro is running from. The file to be opened will change, so i've found some code that enables the user to select the file to open then open it.
Dim strFile As String
strFile = Application. GetOpenFilename
If strFile <> "False" Then Workbooks.Open strFile
This brings up the standard windows choose file to open box, then opens the selected file. Am I correct in thinking that the Dim here will store the file name I select in the open file box? If so, I'd like to know how to select the workbook using the dim so I can manipulate it from the workbook I'm running the macro in. Incidentally, once the the data has been copied, I'd like the workbook opened with the macro to be closed.

I am trying to write code to open a new (blank) workbook while in an existing workbook (I am then going to pass data between the two which is easy). When I try to record the code to get the syntax for opening a new workbook it will not record any code. I also need to name the new workbook based on text in a cell in the existing workbook. I just saw before posting this that the code;
workbooks.add
will open a new workbook now I just need to name the new workbook based on text in my existing workbook.

I want is a Macro that will save the file as .csv, with the same filename and location as the original (just in csv format). A hotkey would be quite handy for this. I tried using the macro recorder and fiddled around with the code a bit but my programming knowledge is quite limited and I ended up with something that doesn't quite work as i'd like. I'm sure this would only take a few seconds to code for an experienced user, which is why I post here. I would post my attempt at doing it myself but i'm on a computer that doesn't have excel at the moment.

Here is the code I have:
Windows("2.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("Report_P").Select
Sheets("Report_P").Copy After:=Workbooks("New_report.xlsx").Sheets(9)
2.xlsm is open. it contains a sheet called Report_P New_report.xlsx is open and has 9 existing sheets
Every time this tries to execute I get a "Run time error 1004 Copy Method of Worksheet Failed".
What is wrong with this code? I have an identical line in another macro, the only difference is that there are 5 sheets pre-existing, and that works fine.

I have a worksheet that changes in length. There is a formula that calculates how many pages the sheet will be. The also is a print button on the sheet that will print a coversheet "Sheets("Title")" and then it is supposed to print the data on the second sheet. Below the code I have so far... I know I am missing something, but knowing very little about macros I just can't seem to figure it out.

As soon as the CaTr.sheet1 is filled I want the operator to click a button to trigger this event. Then the sheet1 in workbook CaTr should be saved as "G3" cell value.

I am using the following code to copy all rows that have a cell with a background color to another worksheet. In my first workbook this works just fine. In my new workbook, however; it is not working correctly. There are 111 rows that have a cell with a background color (all the same color). When I run the macro it is only copying the last row that has a colored cell. I have been trying to figure out the reason for the last 3 hours and I give up.
Sub CopyColor2()
Dim rReply As Range, rCell As Range
Dim lCol As Long
Set rReply = Application.InputBox _
(Prompt:="Selct a single cell that has the background color you wish to copy", Type:=8)

I am trying to write some code that is linked to a Command button. The code in the command button is in my workbook called "MF Consolidated ACTUAL DAILY REPORT - Dev.xls" but then I have another workbook called "MF BANK EXPOSURE SUMMARY.xls" that I want to do some work with - namely delete blank columns and it is here that I am having the problem.
My problem is this: my code module is contained in my project "MF Consolidated ACTUAL DAILY REPORT - Dev.xls" and the columns that I want deleted are in the "MF BANK EXPOSURE SUMMARY.xls". Now even though I believe I have activated the "MF BANK EXPOSURE SUMMARY.xls" workbook the action, that of deleting the blank columns is performed on the "MF Consolidated ACTUAL DAILY REPORT - Dev.xls" workbook. Why?? Here is the code that I am using:
Sub Commandbutton()
'ASK FOR DATE AND SET IT IN THE REPORT
Workbooks("MF Consolidated ACTUAL DAILY REPORT - Dev.xls").Worksheets _
("Seg and Non Seg Bank Summary"). Range("I1") = Application.InputBox("PLEASE ENTER REPORT DATE IN THE DD/MM/YYYY FORMAT")
'ACTIVATE MF BANK EXPOSURE SUMMARY
Workbooks("MF BANK EXPOSURE SUMMARY.xls"). Sheets("Seg and Non Seg").Activate
Dim iCol As Integer
Dim Isheet As Integer

I am trying to use VB to vlookup between to workbooks
1. Make active workbook WBK1
2. Make workbook being open WBK2
3. Copy and Paste between WBK1 and WBK2
4. Have a vlookup in WBK1 and bring in the values from WBK2
5. Close WKB2
6. Copy, Paste, and transpose values in wkb1 within wkb1
The script works fine until it reaches the vlookup step. I have used the vlookup by itself without the copy and paste code successfully but when I combine the two it provides me with the error 9. Subscript out of range.

I need to import some spreadsheets that are sent to me into a master database spreadsheet. I have attached both below. The complaintstest.xls is the master database and the other is the sheet that will be imported. What I would like to happen is when the macro is run, the user will be able to select the sheet they would like to import through a dialog box. After the sheet is selected the macro will import the cells from the selected sheet into the master database in a particular order. In the master database example on row 2 I have listed the columns from the sheet to be imported in the corresponding column on the database sheet. This will macro will be run a couple of times a week so the macro will have to find the next empty row to start the import on.
