i have 3 files :
1-april 2007
2-may 2007
3- total
i want a macro that that 1+2 and with "vlookup" out the cells in "total". i start to record the macro but ... it's not work at all. i want to put an input box that ask the user "what month and year" and then put the relevant file in the vlookup.
way of creating some kind of xy lookup function to a data table in Excel 2003 or 2007.
To explain what I'd like, if Row 1 and column A contain a a range of values (e.g. from 1-10), I would like to be able to search these lists and select two values (e.g. 5 and 5) then return the value of the cell at their intersection (e.g. F:6 in this case)....see below... What would be the best way to do this?
ABCDEFGHIJK1123456789102132435465?7687981091110
Ideally I'd like the user to be able to enter these xy values and set up a nice user friendly form or drop down list. If it was a user completion field it would also need to accept ranges, e.g. if 4.3 is entered it selects value 4.
Essentially this is like a grid reference Easting and Northing. The actual spreadsheet I'm working on is 300 rows by 200 column containing 12 worksheets of this size, would it be possible to do this and return multiple values (same cell ID e.g F:6 above) from different worksheets?
I would like to create a user form that will display the results from a lookup formula. The userform would have 2 textboxes, so from the formula below BZ109 would be textbox1 and CA109 textbox2. Once data is entered in these textboxes you would hit submit to return the results in a message box. What would the code be for the sumbit button?
=VLOOKUP(BZ109, INDIRECT(CA109), 11, 0)
=LOOKUP($C1,$A1:$A1,$B1:$B1)
Though i wanted to rid the Na error from it when C is blank
I seen a few ways, And wanted to try the method of using Countif becouse it can be used withen the same cell without using extra cells like another method i seen "=IF(ISNA(A1),0,A1)"
what i know of countif
This function counts the number of items which match criteria set by the user.
=IF(COUNTIF($A1,"")),LOOKUP($C1,$A1:$A1,$B1:$B1),"")
so how the heck can the countif function be used to rid the NA of a lookup. i just cant see a relationship between counting a lookup.
Trying to determine who has a file open, the code below works for simple files. However if the workbook contains macros and user forms it seems there are multiple occurances of the search terms strFlag1, strFlag2. How can I determine the last user
Function LastUser(path As String)
Dim text As String
Dim strFlag1 As String, strflag2 As String
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer
strFlag1 = Chr(0) & Chr(0)
strflag2 = Chr(32) & Chr(32)
Open path For Binary As #1
text = Space(LOF(1))
Get 1, , text
Close #1
j = InStr(1, text, strflag2)
i = InStrRev(text, strFlag1, j) + Len(strFlag1)
LastUser = Mid(text, i, j - i)
End Function
Above code taken from Determine Last User
I am unable to add which user made the change to the specific cell. The code used is:
Dim vOldVal 'Must be at top of module
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim bBold As Boolean
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
With Application
. ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
If IsEmpty(vOldVal) Then vOldVal = "Empty Cell"
bBold = Target.HasFormula
With Sheet1
. Unprotect Password:="Secret"
If .Range("A1") = vbNullString Then
.Range("A1:E1") = Array("CELL CHANGED", "OLD VALUE", _
"NEW VALUE", "TIME OF CHANGE", " DATE OF CHANGE")
End If..................................................
How can I prevent a user from opening another workbook in an Excel session "from the outside"?
I'm fairly new to VB. I'm developing (in VB 2003) a simple but SECURE Excel environment which will allow a user to update a hidden Master_Records workbook. I need to keep the user's Excel session secure...for example, I've disabled all Excel Toolbars and Command Buttons, effectively preventing the user from doing anything except filling in some cell values and clicking on a few custom buttons in the worksheet. But how can I prevent the user from opening another workbook into the active session from his desktop and introducing some malicious code into the session via that route?
One respondent in another forum (the only one, in fact) suggested that I look into "instantiating workbook level events" so that I can detect when other workbooks are open. I'm not sure what that means, is there someone here who could give me some guidance into that solution?
I wrote a code that is suppose to save the workbook every time a change is made but so far I have been unsuccessful at getting it to work. The workbook contians 7 worksheets.
This is the code I wrote to try and accomplish this task ....
I have a workbook that is shared between 10 users and this work book is known as Master, what I don't want to happen is for one of the users to over write and save it. So is there a way one not allowing the user to save but allow the user to save as.
View 2 Replies View RelatedNeed a way of quickly telling whther a user as a workbook open without trying to open the workbook yourself? I have many individual workbooks which I need to regularly update, before I can update them I have to check whether anybody else has them open and then wait until they are out before I can do the update.
if it is possible to prevent a workbook from being saved other than by a macro (So no saves on Ctrl + S or File Saves). Basically, I want to allow users to use a template that I have set up, but I do not want to allow them to be able to save the document.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUsing Excel 2000, I have a shared workbook which is effectively a single sheet, flat database. Rows contain dates, and when certain dates occur, I want to send an email alert to specific users. I have searched and found lots of guidance on that aspect, but am wondering how best to trigger the email alert. At least one, and up to 10 users access the shared workbook at different times of day, and I only want to review the data and send the email alerts to the relevant users once per day.
I thought about a timed event, but cannot be sure the shared workbook will be open. I wondered whether an event in Personal.xls might do it, if I ensure I open Excel every day, but it's not ideal. Finally, I wondered if I could somehow trigger the alerts when the first user opens the workbook - but can't find how to capture that.
I have a program in Excel with VBA code. The VBA code is all under password protection.

I am using this code to copy columns C,D, and P from a user selected workbook into position C,D,E of workbook "Checklist.xlsx" (the one from were I run the VBA code). I don't have a clue about VBA, just have been gathering info, but the code works pretty fine. The only issue is that it opens twice the workbook "wbExt" hence the system prompts me if i want to reopen the already open workbook.
Some questions:
1) Is there a way to copy the 3 columns at once? something like "Columns("C:D, P").Select".
2) Is there a way to select the workbook from were to copy the column without needing it to actually open?
3) is there a way to paste the columns starting from row 3 instead of row 1 (Range("C1").Select)?
I've been tasked at work to make an excel file to do more than what I think I can figure out on my own. What I need done is this:
1. Every Monday, check excel file for data
2. If data exists, send email with said data
Here's my issues:
How do I get the workbook to open while logged off the computer? The file is stored on a share network drive, not locally. How do I get it to send an email without someone logged on to click "send"?
I tried using windows scheduler, but I don't have sufficient privileges to run as batch (IT restrictions).

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet that contains about six different tabs. When this form is completed some users might want to have certain tabs copied into a different workbook. Unfortunately each user might want to copy different tabs. I was wondering if there was a Macro that I could write that would ask the users which tabs they want to copy into a new workbook.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a program that opens an excel-workbook, I first check whether the file is opened by another user(open for read-write). This works fine, but I'd like to know which user has the file open with VBa code. ex.

I'm trying to limit the controls users have on a specific workbook. Problem is I would like for them to have this workbook open throughout the day and if I look all the controls then they will be locked out of these controls on other seperate workbooks they open. The only reason I ask is because of some awesome code I just found by Dave Hawley. The code is...
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
With Application
. CommandBars(1).Enabled = Not Sh. Name = "Sheet1"
.CommandBars(" Formatting").Enabled = Not Sh.Name = "Sheet1"
.CommandBars("Standard").Enabled = Not Sh.Name = "Sheet1"
.DisplayFormulaBar = Not Sh.Name = "Sheet1"
End With
ActiveWindow.DisplayHeadings = Not Sh.Name = "Sheet1"
End Sub
This works great with one exception. It will only block the menus for one Sheet.
In my workbook I have 8 sheets and would like to apply this to 4 of them. Is there any way to modify code to hide menus on mores than one sheet. Also while I'm in the neighborhood. Is there a way to hide the sheet tabs for this workbook only. So once again if a user opened another workbook they would be there?
how to create user logins and passwords for five users for one workbook. Also, preferrably to have a message to prompt for entering the user name and password at the first worksheet (e.g. the main page where there it is usually the company logo page) when the workbook is open.
E.g. there are five employees and we would like to create five different logins and passwords for them. So when they open the workbook, it would be the first sheet of the workbook to appear first and they would then be prompt to enter their username and password. If one of the employees leave the company, we can still quite easily change the name to the new employee.
I have a workbook that has a macro that needs to run before it is closed. I have a button on my sheet that runs that macro and then closes the sheet. Is there a way that I can disable the "X" at the top right hand of the workbook and force the user to close the workbook via my button?

The reason i am doing this is because the people who are going to use this do not have any knowledge of excel. In the sample attached, the tab "Data" has the data in it. The User form should filter this particular sheet and throw out a new file. In the userform, I have mentioned the fields to be filtered.
