How To Copy A Worksheet, WITHOUT Linking It To The Original Workbook?
Sep 27, 2008A 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!

Nov 30, 2009I'm using a macro to try to pull data from a worksheet but it only works when its opened. I found a macro that is supposed to get data from an unopened worksheet but I don't understand VBA very well so is there anyone here that could tell me how to merge my macro with this one to allow me to access the unopened worksheet?
This is the website for retrieve data from unopened worksheets:

Sep 28, 2012I have a monthly task where I collect raw data, and make up various charts in PowerPoint.
I have been making the charts in PowerPoint as previously, the file size of the .ppt was too large as it was embedding the Excel sheets into the PowerPoint. Is there any way I can set up sheets in Excel so that I can update them every month and then run a macro so that it updates the graphs automatically (without the embedding)?
I think copying them over as a JPG might work but is there any other way? I have no idea about the code needed, and I'm using Office 2003.

Dec 11, 2013I'm trying to link specific data from one workbook to another. So from the demo I've attahced, I need all of the 3rd row "ATP BASIC SERVICE : 1" to be linked to another workbook.
So normaly I could copy the row, go to the other workbook, "paste special" and link it to a column.
The only problem is the "ATP BASIC SERVICE : 1" data will not always be on the 3rd row.
So i assume I would need to automatically search for "ATP BASIC SERVICE : 1" and if it is found, copy the column over to the other workbook.
Linking To A Password Protected Workbook
Apr 18, 2009My question is as follows:
I have two workbooks in the same folder on a shared drive. Workbook2 is linked to workbook1. I have protected Workbook1 with a password protected to limit access.
When my collegues who use workbook2 try to open it, it asks for the password for workbook1 before opening. When they ignore that and go a head to open the file. The new information from workbook1 is not updated into workbook2.
How can i mentain my password in workbook1, and keep the files linked such that they can be able to see the new information in workbook2 without knowing the password for workbook1.
Linking Codes To Prices In Another Workbook
Dec 7, 2009I have an excel sheet that has a list of codes and next to each code there is a price list for that particular item.
What I am trying to do it: I have another workbook that I use to type up quotes. In this workbook there are 2 columns: one with the code for the item and then another with the price thereof.
What I'd like to do is when I enter the code of the part, I'd like the price to be referenced from the other workbook and be entered into the price column.
Linking Two Charts Within A Single Workbook
Jan 22, 2010I will attempt to describe my problem the best I can. Thank you in advance:
I have a series of charts (and the tables in which the data for the charts is stored) located in a worksheet. I copied and pasted each one of these charts next to its original. I then moved each one of the new, pasted charts into a single chart sheet at the end of the workbook. Is there a way, via macro or otherwise, to update the charts now located in chart sheet if any changes are made to the original charts?
COUNTIF Error When Linking Another Workbook
Jul 15, 2004I am trying to do a countif in another workbook.
I enter my formula:
=COUNTIF('path[filename]tab'!$AH$11:$AH$300,"yes")
So this formula works fine when I have the other workbook open, but the next day when I open up the file (with the formula in it) and I click "update" button on the "this workbook contains links to other data sources" popup I get a #VALUE! error in the cell. Does anyone know how to correct this?
As soon as I open up the linked workbook the error goes away, but I didn't think this is how its supposed to function. I thought you didn't have to open up any linked documents. All the documents are on my desktop, so its not a share drive issue.
To test it out, I tried doing just a simple link to cell A1 in the other workbook and that works fine, so I'm thinking its the COUNTIF function that causing the problem.
Linking To Another Workbook (Import Data)
May 26, 2006I am importing data from an outside excel file to several other files. I requested that the data be refreshed every time I open the file that references the outside excel file. Whenever I have a file open that references the outside excel file, I can only open the outside excel file in a read-only state. Why is this, and is there any way around this issue?

Jun 20, 2007ive managed to come up with this formula: = OFFSET( 'G:gailMVTR2007[B052,B261A.xls]B261A45'!$B$5,COLUMN()-3,0,1,1)
which pretty much does the same job as a paste special/translate, this works fine when both files are open and updates all the values that i could ever enter, however, when i open only the file containing the link and press "update" it returns a "#value!" error, i dont understand because it works fine when the other sheet is opened and there are no values other than a single number used.
Linking Label Of Worksheet To Cell?
Apr 29, 2013I have a workbook with 6 tabs/worksheets. Each of the first four is a different product or quarter. Tab 5 is a consolidated data report that links data from individual tabs 1-4 in rows and columns for comparison purposes. Consider Tabs/Worksheets 1-4 to be quarters (ie. 1Q, 2Q, 3Q, 4Q). What I want is for the Column Headers in Tab 5 (the consolidated data report) to be pulled from the NAME of the Tab/Worksheet it is pulling the data from. Not an individual cell, but the name of the worksheet itself so that others can change their worksheet labels and those changes are reflected in the consolidated report.

Linking To A Worksheet That Hasnt Been Created
Feb 15, 2009I'm not sure if this is possible. But here it goes. Here is how my spreadsheet stands. I have a sheet called "Dates." When I input a date into a cell it creates a copy of a template and titles it with the date (eg 2009.02.15). What I then need is for some of the cells of this newly created sheet to be linked to cells in other sheets in the workbook. These other sheets serve as databases so to speak and will collect, tabulate and analyze the data from the various sheets created for each day in the Date column. I hope that is clear.
I thought that by creating this Dates sheet I would be able to link the cells in the database sheets to the new sheets that will be created. When I tried this, however, it did not work. The sheets I want to link will have the name of the text that will be entered into the Dates cells. For example. If I put 2009.02.15 in A2 I will want the corresponding cell in my database sheet to have the formula =2009.02.15!C12. Is it possible to make this link before there is text entered in A2 and before the new sheets even are created. I have not been able to do so yet.
I was tryin to think of another way and I came up with this. Here is the code I use to create the new sheets.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim wsNew As Worksheet
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A10")) Is Nothing Then
Sheets("experiment template").Select
Sheets("experiment template").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("experiment template (2)").Tab.ColorIndex = 5
Sheets("experiment template (2)").Select
Sheets("experiment template (2)").Name = Target.Text
End If
End Sub
I was thinking it would be easy for this code to link the cells from the new sheet to the existing database. However, I then ran into a problem down the road. For each new sheet created (each new date entered) I want it to enter the values into the subsequent row in the database. Not keep on overwriting the same row. It seems as though there should be code for this but I am not sure how to do it.
Linking Dynamically To Other Workbook In Directory Specified In Cell?
Mar 6, 2014Using Dropbox, a lot of people will fill in formulas in personal workbooks from using data from another, central workbook. Since I cannot control where they install Dropbox or where they keep their personal workbooks, I must account for that in functions.
Now, my idea is to make them define the directory of the source in their personal workbook in a specific cell and then using that as a basis for the rest of the functions.
Example
Cell A1: C:Usersuser1Dropboxfolder (copy paste from path in Windows Explorer)
Cell B1: A1&[CentralWorkbook.xlsx]SheetName'!$H$1
Basically I want the unknowing user to copy-paste the path of the central workbook into a specific cell in their own workbook and then build my functions bsed on that. How can this be done?
Linking Data Validation Lists To Workbook?
Aug 12, 2014I have a question regarding linking the content for data validation lists stored in a different workbook.
The scenario is as follows: I will have say 50 users using a template which contains various dependent drop-down lists. These lists work by using the INDIRECT function which calls the correct drop-down based on the previous selection. The drop-down entries are currently stored in named ranges on a hidden worksheet in each user's file.
However, if I need to make a change to the content of these lists, I will have to open all 50 files individually and change each one. So I'd like to have a master file to which all the templates would be linked which would contain the entries for each drop-down. So when I update a list in the Master file, it would automatically update the drop-down lists in each user's template with any additions deletions.
My question is, how do I create the links between the user templates and the master and have it so that the list ranges will be dynamic. So if a drop-down list contains say 10 entries and I add 2 more in the master, that those 12 now appear in each user's template?
Linking Multiple Workbooks To One Master Workbook
Dec 27, 2012At our small firm, each staff member keeps a small excel spread sheet on the network that contains their "work in progress." This spreadsheet is roughly six columns wide and roughly twenty lines long.
What I am attempting to do is have one "master" spreadsheet with a tab for each staff member that links their "work in progress" so that partners and managers can easily see how much work each of the fifteen or so staff members have.
I can create fifteen different tabs and fifteen different files on the network and link =[Staff1.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1:$G$25 =[Staff2.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1:$G$25 =[Staff3.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1:$G$25 and so on.
If I make a change to the layout of the work in progress sheet, I have to delete and copy the file fifteen times, then go back through and re-link fifteen tabs to fifteen workbooks in order to keep it uniform.
Linking Graph Data To Active Workbook
Nov 24, 2008In the code below I am defining ranges in a sheet and then using an offset and a scrollbar linked to the offsets. Then I make a graph using the data so that I can use the scroll bars to move the linegraphy left or right to compare the data sets.
My problem comes when linking the values to the graph. I know I can do this by referring directly to the xls file, but as I have loads of different files I want to apply this to I would rather use an active workbook reference...however this does not seem to work. The current code referring to the sheets works but then I have to go into the graphs and change the source data to get them to operate off the scroll bars.

View 4 Replies View RelatedLinking Macro Workbook To Other Workbooks That Use Macros
Jan 10, 2014I am trying to implement the idea of creating an application with two workbooks: a hidden code workbook (CodeWb) that holds all of the forms and macros, and a separate visible data workbook (DataWb) that uses the macros in CodeWb. The DataWb houses a little bit of VBA code to open the CodeWb, which then supplies the programming power to handle click events, etc., performed by the user in the DataWb.
I have advanced to the point of being able to open CodeWb from DataWb and trigger execution of a macro named "DataFileOpen" in CodeWb. This macro initializes things in DataWb and creates buttons there on a particular sheet, using the line:
Application.Run "CodeWb.xlsm!DataFileOpen"
So far so good. This works fine. My problem is that nothing happens when I click on the buttons created in DataWb, with their event handling code residing in CodeWb. Obviously, I'm missing something that maintains a connection between the two workbooks.
How can I use the code in CodeWb to handle all events occurring in DataWb?

I researched online and put one together from stuff I've seen posted but when I email the file, the receiver can not see the image.

Formula Error In Hidden Sheets With Formulas Linking To A Sheet Of Same Workbook?
Nov 30, 2012I 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"
