Macro - Hold View And Avoid Confirm Delete Message
Feb 11, 2009
1. I can't remember it, but I know there is a command so that the view hold and that the selected tabs and cells does not show and the same view remains until the "unhold" is called in the macro. THEN the view is updated. What is this command again? Could not find it...
2. The macro needs to delete tabs at the click of a button (easy part) but for each deletion, a message appear:
Data may exist in the sheet selected for deletion. To permanently delete this data, press Delete. Is there a way to prevent the message from popping out when the macro is executed?
I've written some VBA which creates worksheets to temporarily store data in. At the end of the code I delete the worksheets. However, for some reason I am getting a message box which asks for confirmation. How can I avoid the user of my report having to click OK for each of the worksheets which need to be deleted?
I'm trying to prompt user when he tries to delete a value from a cell so he can confirm is action but not the same way to all cells.
Let's say that I have cells A1:F10 with values, and user should be able to change this values but not to delete them (can't be a blank cell) and I want to prompt him that info (something like "Cell can't be blank!").
In other range a want a different thing: let's say cells H1:K20. In this cells user should be able to change cells values and also delete them but I want to ask him for a confirmation (something like "are you sure").
I am using the before double click event on a protected sheet. When the event fires the first thing the procedure does is unprotect the sheet, does stuff and then it applies protection again at the very end.
Regardless I still get the 'Function is not available on a protected worksheet' message. How can I stop the message? Any ideas? If no standard approach is available does anyone know how I can hook this using API?
I've used the code below and it's worked to stop Update Links message, but i still need one tip to avoid continue message that shows up after Update Links massage:
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False Sheets("Feb").Activate Range("A200:I400").Select Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=True End Sub
i have a macro button designed to wipe all user entered data into a workbook. I want it so you cant accidently press (as you cannot undo the operation). Anyway for making a dialog box appear asking if you are sure to wipe date, with a yes or not option.. no will obviously abort the macro.
if possible, another box to come up asking if you want to save the file first with a different file name (comes up with a save as box).
this is the code so far:
Sub MonthCleaner() ' ' MonthCleaner Macro ' Macro recorded 17/10/2005 '
I have a button. When pressed, it runs a macro. Instead, after pressing the button, I would like the user to confirm to run the macro and display some info about it. This is to make sure the user does not accidentally run the wrong macro (button). I just need a prompt box, with a line info, and the two choices YES and NO. If NO is selected, nothing happens. If YES is selected, macro continues.
I have an excel form where users can input modifications by selecting a range and then pressing a command button to input a value in the selection.
My goal is: to restrict the location where a user can select a range of cell and then execute the macro . The cells where the user can use the macro are merged and in my code, I used the address as show in the address bar in excel for their location. If the user select a cell that is not permitted, a message box is displays and exits the code.
If (Selection.Address <> Range("AE7").Address) _ Or (Selection.Address <> Range("BM7").Address) Then Msgbox ("Wrong location") Else
For some reason it doesn't work since the message box appears even if I am within the permitted locations.
Note: AE7 is the first cell of a merge, same as with BM7
I'm using Excel 2002 on and XP machine. I am creating a spreadsheet to track a work plan.
Column A: Name Column B: Date Column C: Time Column D: YES Column E: No Column F: New Date Column G: New Time
What I'm looking to do is input click able buttons in Columns D: Yes and Column E: No.
When a user clicks on YES, a pop up window should appear with the data in columns A,B,C.
The p0p-up should contain CONFIRM and CANCEL buttons.
Asking the user if they want to confirm the date and Time.
If CONFIRM is clicked Excel should then send an email to me and the user to say that the work schedule has been confirmed.
If CANCEL is clicked the pop-up window closes.
Secondly if the user clicks NO, a pop-up window should open with two free text boxes. One for Proposed date and One for Proposed time. And again 2 buttons for Confirm and Cancel.
If Confirm is clicked then Excel should record the data entered in the free text boxes into Column G and Column H and send emails to me and the user with the Proposed date and Time Data.
I have a macro which works well. All it does is save a file to a specified location on my network. However, after a file is saved there is no prompt telling the user that the file was saved successfully leaving them wondering whether the macro actually worked.
VB: Public Sub SaveAs() ThisFile = Range("X2").Value ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="legdcAudits" & ThisFile & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=52 End Sub
I have an excel sheet and I want a Msg pop up to show a certain amount from a specific cell. So if the cell shows $100. I want to a do a macro that if I hold control + shift + a I will get a pop up saying "Your amount is (value of the cell).
I can only get it to work if I want the vale from an active cell.
MsgBox "The value in the active cell is " & ActiveCell.Value & "."
whenever you want to delete a sheet, excel would prompt you to ask you if you are sure you want to delete the sheet. im making a vba so that the sheets will delete upon workbook close, but i dont want to be prompted everytime to be sure to delete it when running the vba macro. Also, i would like to avoid being asked to save any changes to my workbook
I need to work out a total of column A7:A39. Even with my lack of excel knowledge, I can do that with the sum formula. But, each week, I need to delete the values in A39 by deleting that row, and inserting a row into A7 and putting different data in.
I have my $ signs in place to make sure the formula relates to that column only, but when I insert the row at A7, the formula moves to A8:A39 not A7:A39. Basically I need to be able to delete and insert but still be able to view the sum of A7:A39 at all times.
I'm using the following code to do conditional delete row, but would like to add a message box to confirm the "delete" with a Yes/No msgbox. I'd like to have the macro exit when the user clicks "no" but I'm missing something here.
I have an excel spread sheet set up with a button I created (a colored rectangle with text) that has been asigned a macro. When I print this spread sheet I do not want the 'button' to print on the page.
First one about avoid the movement of this macro, as you can see it starts at one sheet but the job is in other sheet when i run it it goes to the second sheet to do the job,, how i can avoid showing the movement.
Second question about th last part of the macro,, it most replace words with no thing,, if these words are not available it givs me alert,, how i can eliminate this alert.
I am trying to convert cells (all in column D) which are separated by "~" into columns. Unfortunately, running the text to columns command on several rows at a time can cause Excel to panic with an out of memory error (error #7 etc.).
The file is ~100mb and contains 500k-700k rows (I have 4GB of RAM so I know this is more a limit of Excel's 2GB RAM constraint).
Can you please help me write a macro to text to column convert each cell in column D?
I tried a macro which started with a for loop, and called the function for each cell individually, but even this led to an out of memory exception after 156,000 rows (although the same macro worked fine on a similar sheet with 700,000 rows).
Are there any other ways of clearing the Excel buffer/temporary space during the function calls to avoid causing Excel to crash?
I have some command buttons on worksheet. I want to do next: when I am click on command button1 I am see a VBa code of command button 2 How I can do this?
I have created some vb code using the yes/no message box which is attached to a butoon on a sheet that delete's the active sheet and unhide's another sheet. I would like to know how do I by pass the builtin excel message box (the one with delete or cancel buttons) or is there a way of automatically activating the delete button on this message box.
I am generating the chart from the following code but when it prints i.e (Mode#1 or 2 or 3 etc....) with type i.e. (GL_Weld or Bend or any other text). Printing as i.e. (Mode#1Bend or Mode#2GL_Weld). I would like some space in between (Mode#1 Bend) or (Mode#2 GL_Weld) or even put it in next line underneath it ( Mode#1 Bend). How do i incorporate and space or enter next line? Code as follows:
I've written code to create sheets and populate them with data from other sheets. Other subs then work through each row in those sheets to find data for summary sheets. I've frozen the panes on each sheet so that the header rows are always shown. The problem is that after all the code is run, the 'view' on each sheet is the bottom of the table of data (because each row has been worked through in turn) when actually I want my users to see the top row of data. I've tried selecting and activating cell A5 (top of my table) in the last few lines of code (after all the other subs have run) but neither seems to do the trick. There must be a way to specifiy which part of the sheet is visible after running code.
I am creating a spreadsheet that has various form controls, etc... in it and I wanted to create a "help" macro. I have a small Question Mark icon and I want the user to be able to click the icon and have little text boxes appear on the excel sheet with instructions.
I was wondering instead of making a toggle event where the user clicks once to turn on and again to turn off, if there was a way that the user could click and hold on the icon to make my text boxes visible....and when the user releases they disappear.
I was toying w/ the idea of being able to view two items in the same cell. A wholesale cost and a retail cost, the wholesale would be in the cell and the retail price would be in the comment. When mouse is placed over a particular cell, a comment would pop up and show the second view, the retail price.
This to be effective would need to be copied down like a typical formula would be. If not, it would take too long to enter each item into a comment for each cell.
I really doubt this is possible, but if not in Excel, could this be accomplished in VBA?
Does anybody know the memory limitations that Excel (2003) has with regard to the amount of vba code that a workbook can contain?
I have automated one of my spreadsheets to load a bunch of modules containing code (a few hundred thousand lines of code altogether). Before it finishes loading all of the modules I get a "Run-time error '7': Out of memory" error. When I press the Help button on the dialog I get a help page which says:
"More memory was required than is available, or a 64K segment boundary was encountered."
The help page goes on to suggest (among a few other things) that I might have a module or procedure that is too large. After reducing the sizes of individual procedures and modules, I am starting to think that there may be a limit to the absolute number of lines of code that can be stored within a single workbook.
I have to do a project, but I'm not really sure how to go about it. Here's my problem: I have about 200 stock ticker symbols already given(ie. AAPL, MSFT, NEE, etc...), and i have to create an excel file where i would copy/paste or enter in another set of stock ticker symbols and would give me back the answer if any of the newly entered symbols match the ones i already have(either in form of 1 or 0, YES or NO etc...).
Whenever updating an Excel file and saving it as a new file, a "Confirm Save As" window appears. The default is "NO" (No is Highlighted). Conversely, in MS Word, the default is "Yes" (and, YES is highlighted). I would like to change the default from NO to YES in Excel.
