Locating A Button On Worksheet
Dec 24, 2012
I want to assign macros to buttons from VBA. I know that buttons have a TopLeftCell property and I've used this before to point at cells around the button but not the other way round.
What I'm trying to do is have excel assign a macro to a button when the workbook is created (if thats possible - if not then just whenever it's opened the macro can be reassigned).
The recorder gives me the line of code:
Selection.OnAction = "ThisWorkbook.ImportJobsButton"
so I really want to change Selection for something that points at the specific shape. I want to do this with a few shapes.

I have a single button on a spreadsheet. When clicked, it gives me Error 91: Object Variable or With Block Variable Not Set. This is the button's
Private Sub Analyze_Click()
Dim TextToLocate As String
Dim Searching As String
Dim TechNum As String
TextToLocate = "Mobile Device : "
Fname = Application. GetOpenFilename("@Road Excel Files,*.xls", , "Open @Road Log File")
Workbooks.Open (Fname)
' Error here at cells.find:
Searching = Cells.Find(What:=TextToLocate)
TechNum = Replace(Searching, TextToLocate, "")
TechNum = Left(TechNum, 5)
MsgBox TechNum
End Sub
The purpose of the code is to:Allow the user to open a log fileIn the newly opened log file, find the string "Mobile Device : "Following "Mobile Device : " is a tech number. Strip out "Mobile Device : " and grab the first 5 characters of the tech number.Show me what the tech number is in a message box
If I insert the code into the actual log file (no button and no opening of files), it works fine. I searched this forum and others and used everything I learned to find a solution, but the error remains.

I've got a table similar to the below (but with a few more columns & rows). I need 2 look at 2 cells one contains a $value (say $75,000) the other contains a code (say C). I need it to return the correct value - in this example 3.00%.
This is going to be too messy to use a vlookup, I'm sure there is something better. Is this where you use Match or Index ... both of which I don't understand how they work. Or something else ?
ABCD
$ 1 $ 50,000 1.00%1.50%2.00%2.50%
$ 50,001 $ 100,000 2.00%2.50%3.00%3.50%
$ 100,001 $ 250,000 3.00%3.50%4.00%4.50%
A B C D
$1 $50,000 1.00% 1.50% 2.00% 2.50%
$50,001 $100,000 2.00% 2.50% 3.00% 3.50%
$100,001 $250,000 3.00% 3.50% 4.00% 4.50%

How can I locate 1000 or the closest number from column 5, and all the data to the left of it? I have tried all the commands I could find, and nothing has worked for me.
This is the data I want to pull from the table.

I need a macro that identifies duplicates within a spreadsheet. Unfortunately, the utility provided by Microsoft is not adequate because the text strings that are potential duplicates are nestled inside other text.
Fortunately, however, there is a unique text string that will locate the duplicated data. Below are two examples:
Plus -- Zero Box ==> Zero Box Medium ID=7288 (submittedby Anna Johansson)
Basic -- Zero Box ==> Resolve Medium ID=6397 (submittedby Kazy Suzuki)
The data that needs to be identified as potentially duplicated is the four digit number (i.e. 7288 and 6397). You will notice that they are preceded by “ID=”.
The spreadsheet has over 26,000 rows of data and 1700 plus IDs. The characters ID= proceeds the four digit number in all cases.
I simply need a macro that will provide a list of the four digit numbers that are duplicates. This will allow me to easily locate and manually delete any surrounding, unwanted data from the spreadsheet.
The data that the macro needs to search is contained in and restricted to Column C.

Take a look at these columns below;
.00 810.00 .00 1,729.00 .00 1,594.00 .00 1,599.00 .00 498.00 498.00 .00 .00 1,852.00 .00 454.00 .00 50.00
I want to find the cell reference number of any value of column A (which is greater than 0) in column B. I could only manage to find values with my formula i.e.
=IF(A1>0,VLOOKUP(A1,$B$1:$B$9,1,0),0)

I have a column full of data like the below with relevant data on the same row.
I wish to locate the cells which have a specific section most importantly without the "cartridge only" so for example with the below
Word Academy (Nintendo DS)
Word Academy (Nintendo DS) (Cartridge Only)
This would show 2 given there are two with the specific text "Word Academy (Nintendo DS)" there will always be a cell without the (Cartridge Only) part so for this the formula =COUNTIF(D:D,"*" & D1 & "*") seems to do the job to simply count the cells with that in however I do not wish to do this.
What I need to do is locate the cells that have this in but match them together in a large sheet so basically I somehow need to be able to locate the two corresponding cells which both have one of the cells values of "Word Academy (Nintendo DS)"
The cells have data in the row which I need to tie together to create a total value.
For example
Title Qty
Word Academy (Nintendo DS) 5
Word Academy (Nintendo DS) (Cartridge Only)6
I need to locate the all the cells with "Word Academy (Nintendo DS)" in which would mean just the two cells "Word Academy (Nintendo DS)" + "Word Academy (Nintendo DS) (Cartridge Only)" in the above instance but I need it to then see the cell which has that in its title and add the quantity of the two together leaving me with the below
Title Qty Actual Qty
Word Academy (Nintendo DS) 5 11
Word Academy (Nintendo DS) (Cartridge Only)6 11
Which is basically just adding together the quantity shown on the spreadsheet in the rows with the containing text "Word Academy (Nintendo DS)" and as "Word Academy (Nintendo DS) (Cartridge Only)"
On the attached spreadsheet Column L is an example of the result I would be desire, I have put a basic =sum formula in to just represent the value it should be showing.

On the computers in my office they have a My Documents folder that is in the directory C:Data. There is also a My Documents folder in the usual windows location C:Documents and Settings etc. Is there a function that will give me the path of the folder that is on the desktop? The macro will be run on computers with the folder in different locations which is why I need to look it up.

I have the above table. What I want excel to do is to grab the largest number in each set of numbers from the second column and return the corresponding number in the first column. So basically, excel would return a 3, 7, and 9 in cells C1, C2, and C3.

The only issue with sheet2, though, is that the column number for position number could be different each time new data gets copied into sheet2 (thought the header information stays the same). I know that it can be done via Vlookup if the place of the column doesn't change each time, but I just

I would like to create a macro which finds data from multiple worksheets and collates them in my Master Worksheet.
I am competent with a lot of functions with Excel, however I have never used Macro's before. I have a little bit of VB knowledge, but only the very basics. I will attempt to explain my situation as clearly as I can.
Please note in your response that I am not familiar with a lot of the programming jargon. I also do not know how to actually create (or is it record?) a macro.
Finally, before I dive into it, I would *prefer* not to have to add code to the closed worksheets, but I can do this if there is no other way!.......

I have a workbook with a master data list including member names, member locations, member phone numbers, and various items checked out or on loan to members. I then have multiple sheets breaking down the data for quick reference. So for example Name, Member #, Location, Phone, Item A, Item B, Item C, Item D etc... I need to be able to have all the Members that are in certain cities displayed in it's own worksheet. I have played with the aggregate function, if and functions,... and I am dying. This is for a motorcycle club to keep track of who has ordered what, how much they owe, how much they've spent etc.

Running into this issue of "transworksheet macros"
I have a master "update" commandbutton on sheet 1. I have two sub "update" buttons on sheet 2 and 3 respectively.
What I would like to do is have the user click the master button, that would "click" the two sub buttons so they run their respective macros on their respective worksheets (within the same worksheet.
I have tried pasting the macro code in the master button, telling it to select the sub worksheet and then run the macro, but the marco runs itself on the master worksheet instead.

I am having trouble setting up a query for a recordset that will list duplicates for an automated process to clean up. I am using Excel 2010 with Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects Recordset 6.0 Library and Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 6.1 Library as references.
So far, I have chopped the query down to it's most basic elements and reassembled until it broke. Necessary pieces work well, but when I combine them, I get nowhere.
Here is the working simple query to retrieve a single row:
Code:
dupeSQL = "SELECT PSID FROM [Obstructed$] "
Here is the working single query to retrieve a count:
Code:
dupeSQL = "SELECT COUNT(PSID) As '" & "CountPSID" & "' " _
& "FROM [Obstructed$] "
When combined, I cannot figure out why it won't work:
Code:
dupeSQL = "SELECT [PSID], COUNT(PSID) As '" & "CountPSID" & "' " _
& "FROM [Obstructed$] "
Here is what I am trying to get to:
Code:
dupeSQL = "SELECT [PSID], COUNT(PSID) As '" & "CountPSID" & "' " _
& "FROM [Obstructed$] " _
& "WHERE COUNT(PSID) > 1 " _
& "GROUP BY PSID"
I can even work without the GROUP BY. I have also played with the HAVING clause to try and accommodate the [PSID] field, but have gotten nowhere.

I need to be able to locate some important columns in a table of raw data (the column locations are not fixed).
I would like to identify the locations (based on the heading values in Row 1) and store them as Public variables. The Match function works fine for this, however I'd like to make a simple loop to set these variables (opposed to repeating the function for each).
In the example below, I can't figure out how to reference "List1(Count)" as the name of the variable I'm trying to set.
Code:
Public Field1 As Long, Field2 As Long, Field3 As Long 'The column numbers will be stored here
Sub FindFields()
Dim List1(3), List2(3)
Dim Count As Long
'Public variables (declared above)
[Code] ......
So after running FindFields(), the Test1() macro should give "1 - 2 - 3" (for example) as the locations of the fields in Sheet1. But currently this doesn't work.

I have an existing button which has either a macro or hyperlink assigned to it which links to another worksheet within the workbook. I would like to change the worksheet it is linked to. I have tried right click - edit hyperlink and picked a different sheet, and also assign macro - record new macro. I have even removed hyperlink, then inserted new but no matter what it still goes back to the same sheet.
I am in this position after copying and pasting an existing button. I'm not sure how they designed it from scratch so I would really prefer to just change the link.

I have a button on a worksheet that activates a macro, the macro is stored in a "personal.xlsb" file. This file is copied to several users computers so they can use the macro, problem is once the button is assigned to a macro from one computer all the other users can't use the macro. What can I do to make this macro work on all computers? (Less placing yet another button on the tool bar).

I'm working on an order form in excel and wondered if someone can tell me if it's possible to add a 'submit button' to a worksheet (order) that would do the following,
1.) print 3 copies (orders) of the current sheet
2.) create a new worksheet in the same workbook with a new order number (a specific cell in the worksheet) one higher than the current one. Also naming the new worksheet with the new order number.
3.) Save the current workbook.
Maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself here but any help would be much appreciated as I'm really rusty at this...

I have buttons on each of my sheets, when one is clicked code is called in my module ("modAPI"), and from that code I wish to disable and enable certain buttons, and/or change the caption of those buttons. However when I try to do:
With ws
btnRefresh.Enabled = False
End With
I get Error 424, Object Required. I've tried recording a macro of what I wish to do, and it gives me ActiveSheet.Shapes("btnRefresh").Select, but this doesn't give me the option to enabled/disable or change the caption of the button.

I have created a calendar to enter various locations. At present they are set up using VBA and are called from buttons on the calendar. What I want to do is add a button to the worksheet and then edit its text. I will call a subroutine to use the edited text as the name I want in the calendar. What I cannot figure out is how to return the index of the button have just added so i can alter the button text. I appreciate I could cycle through all the shapes on the sheet but as I do not know the number of the one I have just added I cannot work on the correct one. I suppose I could cycle through all of them and use a carrier to count how many there are then add one to get the latest but that seems very crude not mention time consuming as I allready have 504 text boxes on the claendar.
