Listbox- File With Several Tabs
Jun 19, 2007
I have an Excel file with several tabs (worksheets), one worksheet is a "lookup table" which has customer names and addresses. I'd like to be able to have a drop down on the first page, perhaps a listbox (if that would be the best way) which would show the customer names and addresses from the lookup table page. I need to know the best way to do this. I have C++ knowledge, but VBA syntax is different. I've been playing around with the following
With Worksheets(1)
Set lb = .Shapes.AddFormControl(xlListBox, 100, 10, 100, 100)
lb.ControlFormat.ListFillRange = "Sheet8!E18"E272"
But it won't display data from the lookup table page.

I hope I can explain what I am trying to accomplish properly. Many years ago (5+), I had this exact workbook setup, but am having a lot of difficulty remembering VB & Excel and making this again from scratch.
I am looking to create an Excel Workbook. The workbook will contain numerous tabs, each tab will essentially be a template, and contain basic formulas.
On tab 1(Sheet1), I would like to have a listbox. The individual items in the listbox, should have the same name of, and be linked to all tabs in the workbook.
There will also be three buttons.
Button1 - Generates the names in the listbox based on existing tabs within the workbook
Button2 - Opens a new workbook, and copies over the selected tabs (AKA - creates a working copy of the workbook)
Button3 - Clears the selection and resets the listbox.
The number of tabs, and contents of tabs, within the workbook will be changing. So the listbox should know to look for all tabs, be it 5, or 50.
The end result would allow someone, who knows nothing of Excel, to open this workbook, as a read-only file. Generate a list of available tabs, select the tabs they need, generate a new workbook containing these tabs, that they can then edit to suit their needs.
In my line of work (and I am sure everyones) there is a huge problem with consistancy. This leads to a snowball effect of problems carrying over, and being copied from one project to the next. As I mentioned earler, I once already had this workbook setup, and it solved all our consistancy problems. I am hoping to do the same.

I just inherited an excel spreadsheet that has 10 tabs per every month in the year. Right now it is not that bad as there are only two months in the spreadsheet but I can see this being a headache to tab through later on in the year.
My initial thought is to make a table of contents worksheet that has a bunch of buttons (with macros) to hide/show tabs based on month. (Note: It would not make sense to consolidate the month worksheets into one as each worksheet already has a lot of data in it to begin with.

How do you get a quick report of all of the worksheets in a given file?
Is there functionality in Excel that would provide this? Or a simple macro?
I inherited a file w/ approx. 50 tabs and I'd like to print out the list of all the worksheets so I can create a checklist of tasks I need to do for each worksheet.

I wish for a macro to look in to a directory which remains constant, but then looks within a folder which is specified via a cell value in order to load a specific sheet from each file in to the workbook I am currently using. I wish for the loading to be done without having to open the workbooks manually, so something which opens them copies the data from the sheet specified and then closes.
This data is then to be pasted in to a new sheets within my workbook which are named after the file names that it pulls the "dump" sheet from.
As a side note, I will be using these sheets to produce calculations hopefully automatically as soon as they are loaded. They all have the same "shape" but contain differing data. Will it be easier in the long run for me to use this method of pasting data to new sheets named as their file names assuming there will be around 25 "dump" sheets needing to be loaded or would i be better having them paste all to one sheet just underneath each other with a couple of rows separating them?

I've created a Form (Userform1) and a Listbox(ListBox1). The listbox is initialized by creating a File System Object so that all XLS files within a folder(Test1) are added to the Listbox. I have a Sub to call the form from a workbook. The files saved in the "Test1" folder appears in the list but I get an error when I select and launch the command to open.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Dim fld As Folder
Set fso = New FileSystemObject
Set fld = fso.GetFolder("c:Documents and SettingsEricDesktopTest1")
For Each Fil In fld.Files
If UCase(Right(Fil. Name, 3)) = "XLS" Then
ListBox1.AddItem Fil.Name
End If
Next
End Sub
Code to open workbook from the listbox
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Workbooks.Open ActiveWorkbook.Path & "" & ListBox1
UserForm1.Hide
End Sub

I am trying to create a form where a user can click a button and add a document to a workbook. The file(s) can be hidden on a seperate sheet, but ultimately should be displayed in a List Box or Combo Box. Not sure which would be better in this case. Selecting the item from the list would open the document (either through a double click functionality or a seperate button). I have the beginning of the code below.
Private Sub AddFile_Click()
Dim vFile As Variant
vFile = Application. GetOpenFilename("All Files,*.*", Title:=" Find file to insert")
If LCase(vFile) = "false" Then Exit Sub
Sheets("RefrenceSheet"). OLEObjects.Add Filename:=vFile, Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False, IconLabel:=vFile
End Sub

I found this code by Will Riley
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim fileList() As String
Dim fName As String
Dim fPath As String
Dim I As Integer
'define the directory to be searched for files
fPath = "C:Will"
Would like to change
fName = Dir(fPath & "*.xls")
to load graphic files, .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp, .gif, instead of excel files.
It works if changed to .jpg only but as soon as I try multiple file types it does not work.

Split off from Fill Multi Select ListBox With File Paths & Open Selected Files
if I can add a other request I just thought of.
If a sheet is also in one of the workbooks list, can I add a link directly to it?
For example, Workbook1 has a sheet named "MARCH".
When i'm working on sheet "MARCH" I want to be able to click on a button to see the Userform I created from the script above and see if the sheet "MARCH" is present from the other workbooks listed, if there is a sheet "MARCH" in the workbooks listed, I want another listbox to show what files contain sheet "MARCH" and link to them.

i'm having a problem with a script I have (script is below). What i'm doing is running a script that displays files in a certain folder, those files are then displayed on sheet1 column O and are linked so when they are clicked upon, the file will open. I also have a combo box with a input range of $O$O. That puts the values in column O in the combo box. Now here is a problem and request.
Problem first, when I select the file names from the combo box, they don't open the file, all it does is display the file name in combo box and that's it. how to I get it to open up the file? Now for a request, I have another sheet that is almost exactly as the one i described above. The only thing different I want is when someone clicks on a file name from the combo box, instead of it automatically linking to the file, I want them to click on a button to display the file.
Sub HyperlinkXLSFiles()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Dim lCount As Long
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error Resume Next
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
'Change path to suit
.LookIn = "c:Sec"
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
' .Filename = " Book*.xls"..................

I have been trying to get Excel (2007) to change the colour of tabs to match other tabs in the workbook
Using this code I get the colour code of the current tab
Code:
x = ActiveSheet.Tab.ColorIndex
But when I use this value in a procedure like this:
Code:
ActiveSheet.Tab.ColorIndex = x
The tab is a different colour!

I have a summary page that includes the titles for each tab within the excel 2003 workbook. I want to use the names of the tabs in the summary page and create it into a formula to lookup fixed cells within the various tabs. Sorry for not uploading an excel doc but I was at work earlier and the thread did not load for some reason, so I am reposting it.

I'm using two Listboxes (Form Control) with multiple selection options namely Listbox 1 (Brand) & Listbox 2 (Models). I want listbox 2 input range to be depended on selection made on Listbox 1 (Brand). For example, if user selects Sony then box2 should show only Sony's models and if user selects Sony & LG, box2 should show models for both Sony & LG.

I have a userform where I can select multiple items in a listbox and add them to another. I also have the ability to filter the first listbox to make finding items easier. The issue I am having concerns the clear filter button. As currently designed, the clear filter button will reset the initial listbox back to its default values. Ideally, I would like it to reset to the default values excluding those values that currently in the second listbox.
The entire code is below for reference, but it's the sub ClearFilter_Click that I am struggling with.

I have 2 userforms. UF1 and UF2. UF2 has a rowsource set to its Listbox. UF1 has a search function that searches the original sheet. Now I want to double click on an entry in UF1's Listbox and select the same entry in UF2's Listbox. I want to then work with that entry in UF2.
[Code].....
I do all of this to circumvent Excels restriction. I can't search in a rowsource Listbox, but any edits done to my new Listbox wouldn't be made to the Excel sheet.

I have the following sheet which functions as a table to store values for files that have been created using the application which this table is in. In this app., I have a form with 2 listboxes. When the form loads, I have the first listbox list values which each of these files are listed under (i.e. - "sub-directories"). With a selection of one of the list values and clicking of a button, I want the second list box to list the values of cells listed in a range directly below where the selected value in the first listbox came from.
I'd prefer, in the first listbox, to have only the values of the ranges that have a value in them in the listbox. However, this would cause my listbox.selected(array) not function properly. But since my current offsets (in the second sub) do not seem to be working anyway, maybe I am going about this totally wrong.

The following line highlights the first selection in the listbox visible and calls the listbox click event
myListbox.Selected(0) = True
myVal = myListbox.Value 'after this line executes, instead of being set to the actual first value in myListbox, myVal is ""
Why is myVal not set to the first selection in the listbox? After I execute the following code, myListbox.Value still equals "" and not "Counter 1".
myListbox.Value = "Counter 1"
Why can I not set myListbox.Value?

I have 1 listbox (lisbox1) that retrieve it's list items from a worksheet range (imported/database query from access). This works fine.
I have a second listbox (listbox2) that should display results from clicking a value in listbox1.
Listbox1 contains companynames (1 column), listbox2 needs to be populated with quotes.
Range A3:D4800 contains company ID's, Company names, Quote Numbers. When I select a company name in listbox1, I need listbox2 to be populated with all quotes for that company.
I have tried (using vba) to do a vlookup using the listbox1 value, but I cannot seem to figure out how to populate listbox2 with "all" quotes. I get 1 quote and that's it. I realize I probably need to have the vlookup loop through each cell in the range to find the value, but when I try this, I get a type mismatch when using the .additem (only for the 2nd and subsequent passes).

I'm using Excel '03SP2 on Win 2000sp4. I believe I have a case where old tabs originally written in Excel ' 97 behave differently than new tabs in the same workbook, which is saved in 2003 format.
Specifically, the formula ="PLAN" & budyr-1 where budyr is a named range on a different tab containing 2008 . This formula yields PLAN 2007 on a new tab and #VALUE! on an old tab.
How do I get Excel to update the old tabs so that they behave as Excel 2003 tabs?

I have two listboxes on a userform. One is the "choice" listbox, the other is the "master" listbox. Each item selected is a billing object on a sales invoice.
problem: The master list works fine when the item is selected in the choice list. But when it is deselected, how can you REMOVE it from the master list? question: How can I add a text box automatically to the userform to allow the user to enter quantity info?
For I = 0 To CodeList.ListCount - 1
If CodeList.Selected(I) = True Then
obj = CodeList.Column(0, I)
p = 6
test = 0
Do While test = 0 And p <= 25
If sheetsales. Range("C" & p) = obj Then
test = 1
Else
test = 0
End If
p = p + 1

I have a template file for ordering trafolyte and steel plates. I have added macros to this template file. The existing macros do the following (shortly described):
Macro 1: clears order
Macro 2: update order date + send a read only file to the supplier of plates + save a read only copy of the file into one of three folders acc to info in one of the cells.
It's the Macro 2 I want to edit.
I want to add a "function" which copy a selection of data.column A to N from row 12 to 548 but only the rows where there is a value in column A.
Row 1 to 11 includes standard order info and Macro buttons.
Row 11 includes the heading for order data.
For everytime someone click on the Macro 2 button in the template file, I want the selection to be paste into the first "available" row in a "Total list" file.
The "Total list" file may have to be open (or a function to open, paste selection and then close the "Total list" file may be added)
File and Folder info:
To simplify suggestions, the following file and path info can be used (I can change to the correct later):
Template file name: template_order.xlsm
Template file location: \servershared emplate
Total list file name: total_list.xlsx
Total list file location: \servershared otal
Selection info:
The template file exists of a "general order info area" A1:N10
The column heading for order data is located at A11:N11
The selection to be copied is A12:N550 - But only rows where column A includes data (not empty).
(If the spesific order consists of 14 plates than there will be item no 1-14 in column A and I then I want to copy A12:N25 (row 25 will be item 14).
When I try to use record macro it looks like it only records what's happening in the template file - It doesn't record the pasting in the total list.

Is there anyway to have tabs within tabs? Right now there are only two layers...workbooks and worksheets within workbooks (tabs). Is there anyway to have more than two layers?
So right now:
1) Workbook

Can we get to:
1) Workbook
a. Worksheet
i. ?
b. Worksheet
i. ?

I am trying to run a VLookup across 19 tabs. The formula and result are below
=Vlookup(2255099,INDIRECT("'"&CENTERS&"!A5:R395""),13,0) returns a #VALUE
When I evaluate the formula, the result is:
=Vlookup(2255099,INDIRECT("'"&#VALUE&"!A5:R395""),13,0)
Does the #VALUE where CENTER was mean there is a problem with my Named Range?
