Macro - Making Extensive Action Items Log For Work

Apr 11, 2012

I am trying to make an extensive action items log for work.

On Sheet 1, rows 1-3 are blank. Row 4 contains column headers.

Column A: Item #
Column B: Description
Column C: Drawing #
Column D: Conforming
Column E: Nonconforming
Columns F, G, H don't really matter

What I am wanting is to be able to put an "x" or check mark in either column D or E (conforming or nonconforming). Then I want to run a macro with a push button (I know how to make these) that when pushed scans the spreadsheet row by row until it finds the "x" or check in Column E. I want it to copy every instance of this and send it to an Action Item Page that I have temporarily called Sheet 2. (This way I can go here to see all nonconforming issues). I do not want it to remove the information from Sheet 1.

Then, I want to be able to change the "x" or check on the Action Item Page to Column D (back to conforming) and the macro (push button preferably) copy and send that information back to the original spreadsheet in the SAME row it was.

So, in short I want this to be a fluid way of checking off a punchlist of items.

To complicate things even further, if possible, I would like to have several worksheets send information to the one Action Item List rather than just the one.

Creating Dropdown Menus With Extensive Changing Content

Jun 11, 2013

I have a problem (I have intermediate knowledge of Excel): lets say that I have two model years for Cadillac: 2013 and 2014, and have 3 car models for year 2013 (ATS, XTS, and CRX) and two car models for year 2014 (ELR and CTS Sedan). I want to create a dropdown menu under "Model Year" that will show me 2013 and 2014. When I click on either one, a dropdown list for all car models for that year can appear in the next column under "Models". Then, for each car model, there are different characteristics that are in other columns, such as horsepower, mileage, etc...I want all of the content to stay on one line (row), but change when I click on a different model.

Repeating Action In A Macro

Nov 23, 2007

I have a macro that is working fine. It calculates some values based on a SQL database and then copy the values and paste them into another spreadsheet.

However, I need to repeat the same procedure 1296 times.

Please see below the macro.

Sheets("QUERIES").Select
Range("C1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "2"
Range("C5").Select
Selection.QueryTable.REFRESH BackgroundQuery:=False
Range("D5").Select
Selection.QueryTable.REFRESH BackgroundQuery:=False
Range("C5:G5").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("AWB RANGE").Select
Range("K2").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False

I need to increment the line #3 (ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "2") that should start with 2 and end with 1296.

Also, I need to increment the line #11 (Range("K2").Select) that should start with K2 until K1296.

The other parts of the macro will not change.

Would you be able please to give me a hand on this explaining how to create a counter to start on 2 and stop with 1296 ?

Macro To Disallow Delete Action?

Mar 25, 2013

So I have this worksheet full of formulas that I do not want users to accidentally delete. Now, I know I can use the standard "Protect Sheet" option to not trigger any accidental changes but I would like an additional safety check (since management users will have access to unlock the sheet) via a macro to prompt the user with a message box (with Yes / No options) which essentially asks the user if they are sure they want to delete a cell if the "Delete" button is chosen? If the answer is No, nothing will happen. But if the answer is Yes, it will delete the contents in the cell.

Trigger Macro By Any User Initiated Sorting Action

Jul 26, 2014

I'm using macros to apply some complex sorting criteria. It is also applying some cell formatting specific to the sort criteria being applied.

At the start of each macro, I'm resetting all cell formatting to remove any formerly applied formatting that is not correct for the new sort criteria. Basic stuff.... works fine.

Now I need to ensure all formatting created by any macro-generated sort gets removed if a user applies a sort using any sort function from the Ribbon. (Reset all formatting prior to any 'manually applied' sort).

I can create the macro to reset the formatting, just not sure how to trigger it upon user action.

Is it possible to trigger a short macro to reset cell formatting when a user applies a sort using the Data>Sort, Data>Sort Ascending, or Data>Sort Descending commands from the Ribbon?

How To Make A Macro Take Action When Data Meets Certain Criteria

Feb 6, 2010

I am watching 100 stocks when the stock market opens at 9:30 EST. Not all the stocks will come available to buy or sell at 9:30 but will become available at different time intervals, sometimes 10 minutes after the market opens. When a stock opens it is common for it to spike up, then spike down, then go into a "normal" trading pattern, this is called a slingshot pattern.

If I have a predetermined price up or down for 100 stocks, how can I write a macro that will look at the stock prices and if it shoots above or below a certain value it will submit a buy or sell order? (I already know how to submit the buy or sell orders, just need to get an idea of how to get the macro to constantly check the prices and if it meets my criteria to take action.)

Note: I already have a macro running at one minute intervals to collect data. One minute intervals is to long, I need it in second intervals or less to pick up the slingshot pattern. Is this possible?

VBA Macro To Select Cells With Certain Value And Perform Action On Adjacent Cell

Mar 10, 2014

Converting old reports to usable excel format. I am having trouble using VBA to set up a looping macro that would search Column A for cells with the text string: "ACTIVITY TOTAL". If cell has that value I would like to perform text to column action on the adjacent cell (R0C1). The macro recording for the test to column settings i need is :

Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=ActiveCell, DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=True, Tab:=False, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=True, Other:=False, OtherChar _
:=":", FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 1), Array(3, 1), Array(4, 1), Array(5, _
1), Array(6, 1), Array(7, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True

I have attached a sample of what I am currently working with. The actual file has roughly 6000 lines of data, so I would like the macro to go through all lines.

Call Or Go Back To Macro After User Action Such As Clicking In A Cell

Sep 27, 2012

I am about to write a small macro to do a iteration calculation. I would like though for the user to select me a cell so that the macro uses the value in that cell to start calculations. Now, what I think would be the problem is how do I code a "time" or notice an action such as clicking in a cell to continue with the macro.

Would it be by inserting a pause in the code of a certain time so that gives the user time to click and wait for the code to start? If so, how would much time is enough? Is there another thing that could restart the code such as "noticing a click in a cell" command in VBA?

Making A Macro Run From A Button In Different Tab.

Jan 5, 2010

I have an excel spreadsheet with two tabs.One called "menu" and one called "website"
I want to put a button in tab one (menu) and assign a macro. I need the macro to run/output in sheet 2 (website) not in sheet 1 where the button is placed.

No matter what I do I can't figure it out. The macro always runs in the same sheet as the button.

Making A Macro Shorter & Dynamic

Sep 1, 2007

I have the following code as part of my macro. What I was wondering is a) Can anyone think of a way to shorten this? and b) I currently have this exact code copied 8 times, I did a find and replace to change 'if year = 2003 then' to the year 2010. What I would like is to have 1 code that will automatically change depending on the year the user inputs in a cell. (I should mention that 'Year' is a cell on my input sheet where the user types in the year they are currently working on and the macro automatically runs)

'2003
Sheets("Cash Crops").Select
If Year = 2003 Then
' This copies the cash crop BPU's.
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Workbooks.Open Filename:="F:xdataCAISCAIS spreadsheetsBPU's.xls"
Application.Goto reference:="Cash03"
Selection.Copy
Windows(Filename).Activate
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=21
Application.Goto reference:="CashCrops"
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-30
Range("A2").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True..............

Making This Macro Non Case-sensitive

Dec 17, 2007

in making this macro non case-sensitive. So when a user searches a company name in the worksheet they do not require to type in the company name exactly as it appears.

For example; when searching Microsoft they can type "microsoft" and the macro would take the user to Microsoft.

I would also like to know if it is possible to add a feature that keeps the search dialogue open so the user can search the next possible match. If the user was to type in "mirco" and the search would show the user any company name with the word micro in it.

Sub Button3_Click()

Dim datatoFind
Dim sheetCount As Integer

Making / Defining Workbook As Variable In VBA Macro?

May 7, 2014

In my VBA macro, it copies data from this.workbook, and paste to another "destination" workbook. That destination workbook must be opened first before the macro is run.

Within the Macro code, I had to specify the exact name of the workbook which the data is pasted to.

The problem is that the exact name of that workbook which it paste to changes every week.

Is there any method where my macro can be changed and updated with the name of the destination workbook each week without manually opening and editing the code. The user of this.workbook is not technical enough to edit and maintain the macro each week

Macro To Change Range / Action Depending On Worksheet (range To Autofill)

Sep 17, 2013

Currently my Macro should: Turn off any filtersNumber column A from 1 to 1000 (starting in A14)Drags formula from K14-O14 down to last row of data shown in column Athen puts cursor in last empty cell in column B ready for user to enter data

On point 3 - I want the range to be K14-O14 if active worksheet equals "EXCHANGES" but if its on the "VALUATIONS" tab the autofill range should be L14-P14

I have found bits and pieces of macros on the internet and put them together so if my macro below is not the most effective for my needs but here it is in it's current state:

Here is my macro:

Sub AddNewEntry()
'TURNS OFF FILTER IF FINDS ONE ON

File / Workbook Created By Macro Is Making It Heavier?

Jul 4, 2014

I am creating 4 Sheets from a Main Sheet by Filtering Data based on different values in a fixed column, then the Filtered Rows are automatically pasted in the respective sheets.
Then these 4 Sheets are creating another file.

The same thing done manually by Grouping the 4 SHeets and then Move Copy into a New workbook also makes the file heavier.

Everything works fine however though the data is not much the file is very heavy, so what do i do to make it of appropriate size ?

Macro Doesn't Work On Button, But Fine From Macro Menu!

Dec 15, 2008

I've recorded a macro that copies an entire tab into a new spreadsheet then goes on the copy and paste information from one tab to another.

When I run the macro from the Tools>Macros menu it works perfectly.
But when I copy the code and add it to that of a button it fails and posts the following error: Run-time error '1001': Select method of Range class failed.

The first attachement shows the code for the macro as it is alone, and the second shows how I simply copied and pasted it into the 'view code' window of the button.

Needless to say I'm a beginner at macros and only every record them, I can usually make stuff work that way but this has me stumped!

Macro Not Work On Another Tab

Feb 4, 2009

To run a macro from the first tab of the workbook but have it do it work on another tab.

In the workbook in question I have a tab called "input" were certain information in updated and is linked or used in formulas on other tabs. Some of the tabs have macros that do various functions. I would like to set up one macro button on the "input" tab that would run the macros on the other tabs instead of having to run each one individually from its own tab.

Below is on of the macros that I would like to run from the "input" tab and have it update the "AP Accrual" tab

Sub CopyPriorMonthAccruals()
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=EOMONTH(Input!R[5]C,-1)"
Columns("L:L").Select
Selection.Copy
Columns("Y:Y").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("B3").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=EOMONTH(Input!R[5]C,0)"................................

Do While Macro Seems To Work In Stages

May 28, 2009

I have a macro which loops through data, deleting those rows that are marked with a "Y". However - it appears to always want to do this in three stages. The first time I run the macro, it delete's a large chunk of those marked rows - but it nearly always leaves two rows. The second time I run it, it deletes one of those two remaining rows. And then I run it again and it deletes the final outstanding row. I'm sure i've done something stupid here - the code is below

Everytime a cell (say B18) changes value I want the following to happen:

If it changes to "Annual" I want row 20 to ungroup

If it changes to "Quarterly" I want rows 22-25 to ungroup

If it changes to "Monthly" I want rows 27-38 to ungroup

From what I can see on other discussion groups I need to enter a code on the worksheet from view code... but I cant work out the code that I would need to enter.

Macro: How Work With Weeks

Oct 22, 2008

I have a file with date from the whole year.
Now i want that he splits for me in the file the weeks. So that i have all the info for each week. (seperating by 2 or 3 blank rows)

A second thought was to copy paste them to a new sheet for each seperated week.

and if i just splits them by inserting blanks rows between the weeks. I was wondering if it is possible to make a pivot for each week

i thought maybe working with boxname?

Transpose Won't Work, Perhaps A Macro Will

Apr 7, 2009

I am sent an email that contains multiple blocks of information.

They're broken down like this:

Title
Link
ID
Department
Date
Status
Value
News

There are about 100 of these blocks of text in the email, and some of them are duplicates. What I'd like to do is copy them into Excel, and run a macro which separates them into the appropriate column and removes the duplicates. The problem that I'm running into is some of the blocks have a value (highlighted in red above) and others don't have anything at all. I'm looking for a solution that will be able to evaluate the text and if the cell after Status isn't value, I'd like it to insert a blank cell, a cell that says ignore, or something that will keep the format correct.
