Linking Copy Onto Hidden Sheet For Backup
Nov 15, 2012
I have a database (attached) that has data entered into the "Progression" sheet. This data is continually updated, and once each row has a section date, I have a macro that moves the data from "Progression" to the "Complete" sheet (and from there, into a specific month sheet). I AM REALLY CONCERNED with data accidentally getting deleted (especially when/after getting moved to "Complete"). I know that you can link cell values from one worksheet to another, but since my data is continually changing in the Progression and Complete sheets, the linkage wouldn't maintain the correct cell values from day to day. Is there a better approach to creating "backup" data in excel than this linkage option? Preferably something that runs in the background without my input?
An option could be that I move my data from Progression into both the Complete sheet and then a hidden "Master" sheet when I run the macro. If I chose that route, how would I modify my coding to include transferring to the Master sheet as well?
Lastly, a simple linkage between the Master sheet and another sheet in a second workbook should be sufficient as a backup method?

I am currently working with a hidden sheetname "hide_template" which contains formula linking to another sheetname "rawdata" of same workbook.
In this "rawdata", the contents is updated from time to time.
The problem is when I open this workbook and update the entries in "rawdata", the formulas/results in "hide_template" is not updated and invalid (ie. #N/A, #VALUE..)
This is the overview of process that Im working with:
===> open workbook ===> paste new entries on "rawdata" ==> run a macro to copy range in the "hidden_template" to paste to new sheet of same workbook
I already have a working macro to copy range from the "hidden_template" which works as follows:
===> set to visible the "hidden_template" ===> copy range from "hidden_template" ===> paste to new sheet ===> set to hidden the "hidden_template"

I have a workbook with a hidden sheet ("Template") and a visible sheet("New Job"). I need code so when cell F1 in "New Job" is populated:
1-the sheet is renamed to the value of F1,
2-a new tab is made (a carbon copy of the hidden sheet "Template")
3-the new tab is named "New Tab" and marked as unhidden.
Public Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
ActiveSheet.Name = Range("F1").Value
End Sub
Function WorksheetExists(SheetName As String, _
Optional WhichBook As Workbook) As Boolean
Dim WB As Workbook
Set WB = IIf(WhichBook Is Nothing, ThisWorkbook, WhichBook)
On Error Resume Next
WorksheetExists = CBool(Len(WB.Worksheets(SheetName).Name) > 0)
End Function..................

I have a hidden holding sheet where I copy data into col A as follows:
Sheets("April_June"). Range("a10:A110").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Staff_Import").Range("a1")
This works fine but what I also need to do is delete the blank rows in the holding sheet "Staff_Import" and copy back to another sheet "July_Sept" without removing the formatting in "July_Sept" sheet ie cell fill & borders.

I am using this code to create a backup copy of my workbook:
Code:
Sub DOUGHMON()Dim fname
fname = "C:UsersAndrewDesktopWEEKLY SALES REPORTS" & Format(Now, "dd mmm yy") & ".xlsm"
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fname
End Sub
The only problem with this code is that my current file gets closed and the backup is open. I'm not sure if that is exactly what happens, but when it is done the current file that is open is the copy, and I would like the original file to stay open.

I was able to find the coding that I needed for being able to have a backup of my file. So when I save a workbook and close I also get a backup copy in another folder that is dated. But I am having problems getting the code to work. Probably because I do not understand it correctly. Here it is.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs "C:Documents and SettingsTeacherDesktopTEST" & _
Format( Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") & " - " & ThisWorkbook. Name
End Sub
Where it has, ThisWorkbook.Name, do I put the name of the workbook? Not sure.

Basically my code is bombing at the red highlighted code. Error: "Run-time error '1004': Copy method of Worksheet class failed"
Sheet "Blank Form" is a hidden sheet. Can I alter the red section of code to work while being a hidden sheet? I tried a few variations but nothing seems to work..

Sheet 1 contains a column titled "name" and 6 columns to the right of name titled "sat", "sun", "mon"........ the col titled name is not the first col in the work sheet.
In each row I enter the guest name under the name col and I enter a room number (example: 1A, 1B, 2A, etc...) in the column to the right that coresponds with the day the guest will be staying.
Name Sat Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri
Mr. Smith 1A 1A 1A 1A
Mr. Jones 3B 3B 3B
Ms. Tiller 4A 4A 4A 4A 4A 4A 4A
Sheet 2 is in the same workbook and looks something like this:
Room # Sat Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri
1A
1B
2A
2B
3A
3B
I want it to look at sheet 1 and populate the date columns with the guest name from sheet 1
I tried this formula =IF('Sheet1'!G:G="1A",'Sheet1!$F:$F,"Available")
It seems to work on the first row but I have problems with any rows below that. Basically it acts like there is no data in the rows below.... I think the fact that the names on sheet 1 are not alphabetical is creating part of my problem? I tried a lookup formula but it seems like it has to be the first column in the worksheet and it has to be alphabetical to work like that.

I run a model in Excel that automatically saves my file every xx iterations. After saving the file I want to make a backup of the file. Tried
[Code] .....
but get a permission denied error message.
I don't want to use .SaveAs as it is a huge file that takes a while to save and SaveAs has a tendency to break links that should not be broken..

I have this code that first selects a sheet (data) and then imports a csv-fil to the data sheet.
I want to hide the data sheet and the the code doesn't work.
How do I change the import code so that I do not select the sheet?
[Code] ......
I believe it should be something like this: With Sheets("DATA").QueryTables. Add..... but I am not aware of the syntax.

I have a userform which clones the latest sheet and produces copy of it on the next sheet. The first sheet they will be cloning is the sheet called 'template', I however want this to be hidden since I do not want anybody to modify a sheet which basically serves purpose of a template. And once cloned, it is no longer needed.
On the click of the command button, the macro will create sheet1 taking the info from sheet named 'Template' in the same workbook . And now on the next click of the command button, Sheet 2 is created taking the info from sheet1 and Sheet 3 is created taking the info from Sheet 2 and so on. Here is what I currently have, so how can i modify it in order for my scnerio to work?
To select the last sheet in the workbook
Code:
Sheets(Sheets.Count).Select
To create new sheet
Code:
Sheets(Sheets.Count).Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = MyEvent & " " & MySCN & "(" & ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count - 2 & ")"

I have a button on a sheet that runs a macro to unhide another sheet. That works, but I want the sheet made visible to remain forward. Instead, the button unhides the sheet and the sheet the button is on comes forward again. I am unable to figure how to keep the sheet made visible forward. Here is the macro 'as recorded'.
Sub UnhideSheet1()
Sheet2.Visible = True
End Sub

I have a workbook that I use as a master and only 2 people should be allowed to change it. It is locked by a password and if opened by anyone than all others can only see as read-only. What I need to learn how to do is have that master version with its own password and then maybe a copy or shortcut that is read only with its own password and updated (linking??) as changes are made to the master version.

I am tracking my sales interactions and am trying to link cells so when I update on one sheet it updates my last "customer touch" on a master sheet. Current formula-
On "sheet1" I selected a cell and used this formula... =sheet2!$b$7
The problem is that I want to keep a history of what was in that sheet 2 B7 cell so i insert a row (making B7 move down and become B8) and enter new info into the new b7. if I go back to sheet1 the formula in the selected cell becomes =sheet2!$b$8 I want it to stay to =sheet2!$b$7 no matter what I do... insert rows, delete rows etc...
in short what i am trying to do is have a cell in sheet1 show my last interaction with the customer and keep a history of in sheet2-infiniti.... with the caveat that my last interaction on sheet 2 etc... is listed first (thus the insert row)

I want to be able to associate the first row and first column of Sheet 2 to Sheet 1. I need to make sure the data in each row stays next to its corresponding cell in the first column, even with changes in the first column. The data that is not the labels in row 1 and column 1 are different between Sheet 2 and Sheet 1, however.
To clarify what I'm looking for, I attached an example excel file where I manually entered stuff for each cell that describes what I want to have automated:
The first row and first column of Sheet 2 are always equal to the first row and first column of Sheet 1. However, the data in between them is different. When I add the 'bb' cell into Sheet 1, the 'bb' cell needs to be automatically updated into Sheet 2 and a new row is inserted in both sheets. It is important that the corresponding data for each of a, b, c, d stays next to a, b, c, d, respectively in both sheets (i.e. I want a blank row next to the 'bb' cell in both sheet 1 and sheet 2).
EDIT: In the file that I have attached, there are four sets of data all on one sheet. In reality the 'Sheet 1' set would start on top left corner of Sheet 1 and the 'Sheet 2' set would start on top left corner sheet 2, I just put them this way so you can see them all at once.

So I have 2 spreadsheets of Car Inventory Data that I want to export into what will be printed out as Addendum Stickers...basically we're offering a new product with all vehicles and need to update the Sticker Price to reflect the change. The main worksheet with all of the data I'm trying to export is as follows:
Column A:
Stock Number
Example: (Column, Row A3) T12345
Column B:
Model Number
Example: (Column, Row B3) 1234A
Column C:
VIN Number
Example: (Column, Row C3) ABCDEFG12A3456789
Column D:
Retail Price
Example: (Column, Row D3) $20,100
Column E:
New Product Cost
Example: (Column, Row E3) $399
Column F:
Model Name
Example: (Column, Row G3) Camry
----
Now the price of the new product being added in is the same: $399. All data runs in rows (A3-E3, A4-E4, etc.). I AutoSum'ed each row and output the new calculated price into Column F next to each row of vehicles.
----
I want to take the Stock Number, Model Number, VIN Number, Retail Price, New Product Price and New Updated Total or Columns A-F and output them into multiple sheets:
Example:
Company Name (B1-C1)

I Am wondering if you can use a checkbox, to update a cell on a different sheet in the same workbook. CheckBox 1 is the box on say, Tab 2. And if it was ticked, would transfer the name to Say Sheet 2, cell B7.

I have a large workbook, split into sheets, with very complex formulas in it.
I want one sheet at the end of this workbook to reflect all the data from the
other sheets, if you know what I mean - so it is ALL the data from the
different sheets, in one "all info" sheet.
I also want it to update automatically so I don't have to re-enter lots of data when updating the
separate sheets. Is there any way of doing this? I have looked at some of the
answers on here but I got very lost.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet2!$M$2:$M$11=Sheet1!$B$3),--(Sheet2!$N$2:$N$11=Sheet1!$B$4),Sheet2!$A$2:$A$11)
inthe above quoted formula last part "Sheet2!$A$2:$A$11" is the data for Jan in sheet2, if I need Feb results I need to change it to "Sheet2!$B$2:$B$11"
Is there a way to make it dynamic by linking this to a cell on sheet1? Example if sheet1 A1 cell contains name of month, by changing that the results should also change?

A simple one for you, but again my Google skills seem lacking. This must be common practice but until one knows the key combination...
I have created a summary sheet with lots of formulas which analyse other sheets in a workbook. I want to copy this summary sheet to a seperate workbook to use as a template.
Of course, the copying process always links the new (template) sheet to the original workbook it was copied from. How does one copy without forging this link? All I want are the formulas copied across totally unchanged; I really *don't* want to manually edit 50 or so formulas!

when I want to send by email I find I cannot copy these smaller sheets - every attempt at a copy will also copy the hidden columns.
How to copy a spreadsheet and NOT pick up the hidden columns?
I realise this might be nearly impossible or considered useless because no hidden columns would mean either making the copy with blank hidden columns or altering all formulas to suit a sheet which now does not have all the original columns.

I'm trying to get my code to work by trying to copy from a visible tab into a hidden tab. Currently I have it able to function when the tabs are hidden, and i've been trying to get it to work.
My code is below. I have a variable section because there are different sheets that will be hidden, and this is a way that i found works to get the variable tabs selected.

I have 5 sheets in a workbook. Three are hidden. My code allows user to make as many copies of the hidden sheets as needed and place them at the end by means of a macro button. This works fine, but after multiple copies (4 to 15) it crashes! Don't know what I did wrong.
Sub CopyWs()
Sheet8.Visible = True
Sheet8.Select
Sheet8.Copy After:=Sheets(Worksheets.Count)
Sheet8.Visible = False
Sheet9.Visible = True
Sheet9.Select
Sheet9.Copy After:=Sheets(Worksheets.Count)
Sheet9.Visible = False
Sheet10.Visible = True
Sheet10.Select
Sheet10.Copy After:=Sheets(Worksheets.Count)
Sheet10.Visible = False
End Sub
