I am new to the whole MACRO VBA thing and I am desperately trying to learn. So this is the Situation. I recorded a macro of an If statement on a row. very simple. Some of the rows below ( Like 700) need the same formula that I recorded. I would like to highlight the cells that need the formula and run the macro on them. however the macro only runs one at a time. Is there a way that this can be avoided?
View 11 Replieshow to include a line of code, to start a sub running at a selected time? Given that the workbook is already opened before that time?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that would run once the workbook is opened. This macro would then open another excel file to get updates then close it. Now this file is also being accessed by other persons in the network but just for a split second. Since an opened file would result into an error, what proper codes should I add so that if the file is currently in use, the macro would then run again after 5 seconds and would do the same thing until the file is ready? This is what I have so far. All in the standard module.

I want to know if I can schedule a macro to run at specific times?
If so would 6 requests at the same time slow excel down?
I have a macro which downloads data from website. But takes some more time to complete a work. I want that a time should display at the bottom bar of excel where "Ready" is written. THe time should be in hh.mm.ss format.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI wanted to run a macro at 08:00 each day. I tested the macro would auto start and run, and set the test to start at 13:00.
In the Private module of the Workbook I put
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application .OnTime TimeValue("08:00:00"), "MyMacro"
End Sub
and in a standard module
Sub TestTimeMacro()
Application.OnTime TimeValue("08:00:00"), "MyMacro"
End Sub
Initially I had the TimeValue set as 13:00:00. The test worked OK so I changed the timevalue to 08:00:00.
The macro now runs at 08:00 and 13:00.
How do I stop the 13:00 event?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm opening a workbook and then running the macro in the workbook. The problem is I would like to build a "timeout" feature if the macro is running too long (as some of the macro's this will run can take days to complete) but I don't know how to run the macro asynchronously. Also I need to know if i can get it to run asynchronous is there an event that will tell me when the process is finished. The calling application of the macro is written in VB6 and opening excel workbooks to run the macros out of. also the "timeout" feature must be done from the VB6 application it cannot be edited into the the workbooks containing the macro.

Is it possible to have a macro run as soon as there is text typed into cell A2? Basically, I have a form that needs to be filled out, but somehow, users forget to put their name in the box. So I don't want any information to be able to be typed in until a name is entered.

I have been trying to find a macro that would allow me to keep a running total in a cell by adding a number to that cell and the same cell would display the sum of the numbers entered. {i.e.} If cell a1 has 0 in it and i click on that cell and put 3 in it would display 3 if i added 2 to it it would display 5 and so on. I need it to do this for about 182 cells on one page.I found this macro that runs automatically every time and works great......But only for one cell so far..."D3"...Ugh!!! I need this macro to work for the following range of cells "colums d thru j from row 3 down to 28 in each colum. Each cell is an individual. There are 182 cells total that each need this macro to work ...all on one page
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Static dAccumulator As Double
With Target
If .Address(False, False) = "D3" Then
If Not IsEmpty(.Value) And IsNumeric(.Value) Then
dAccumulator = dAccumulator + .Value
Else
dAccumulator = 0
End If
Application.EnableEvents = False
.Value = dAccumulator
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End With
End Sub
As you see the macro includes cell D3 only, I have made several attempts to include more cells but have failed.... I tried like this
If .Address(False, False) = "D3,E3,F3,G3,H3,I3,J3,D4,E4...and so on" Then
I have tried ....If .Address(False, False) = "D3:J3" Then
and I have tried ....If .Address(False, False) = "23Rx7C" Then
I can make it work for cell d3 but not the others. Will I have to repeat this code for every cell?
I've a workbook with 3 tabs with names "tab1, tab2, difference" and I've a macro that calculates tab1-tab2 and puts the results in tab "difference" This macro runs every time I open the workbook or every time dataset is refreshed on any tab.
everything works great but i've following issue.
let's say my cursor is in tab2 & i refresh/update dataset on tab2 which will trigger macro to update values in tab "difference".. this is good. but, soon after macro runs & updates tab "difference", cursor is no more in tab2 but in tab "difference" this is OK if I've 1 or 2 or few tabs but i've 25 tabs & the user has to go back to the initial tab everytime dataset is updated on any tab. Is there a way for the macro to recognize where the cursor initiallly was & run the macro & place the cursor back to the initial tab?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to select a cell, for example A10, this would then run a macro that would copy and paste several cells of information along that row and paste it on another worksheet. However, if i then choose a15, a3, a79 in turn (using the control key), it would run the macro using those rows in turn.
i'm looking forward to hearing if and particuliar how this could be achieved.
Here is the image 1 after selecting one of element in listbox and then if I click delete material (commandbutton).
It has to delete the select material in sheet 2 and has to cut the element below and move to 1 row above as shown in figure 2.
At the same time it has to delete the entire respective column and remaining column has to be cut and place in column before in sheet 3 as shown in figure 3
For that I had wrote the program which is below
Private Sub CommandButton5_Click()
Dim i, j, k, m, n As Integer
i = ListBox1.ListIndex
j = Sheet2.Cells(1, 39).Value
k = j - i
[Code] ....
When I click the delete commandbutton5 the result is as shown in figure below
In sheet2
In sheet 3

I wrote a macro that worked for a long time but now a running time error (9) popped out even though the code didn't change at all. If I run the same macro on the same computer but logged on as a different user it runs smoothly. Tried it in other computers and in some of them it will also run in only some of the users but not all.
I'm running Excel 2003 on windows XP, on a pentium 4 PC but found the same in othe computers running Vista.
When I click the debug button the highlighted line is
Workbooks("Detrend").Activate
close to the end of the following code.
1- Open enclosed file.
2- Run Macro1.
3- Wait some time completing running Macro1.
4- Run Macro2.
5- Wait some time completing running Macro2.
6- Look MessageBox to see that what is Macro2 running time. (Note: My Macro2 running time is 06 minutes and 49 seconds)
My question is how can I decrease Macro2 running time ?
I am open all ideas like copy data to NotePad and paste again excel etc.
I have a user form that builds a workbook from one template sheet and information in a SQL Server database. The template sheet contains 4 charts that are copied to every new sheet in the workbook, then their data ranges are set through VBA code. For a while the code was working wonderfully. All the necessary sheets were being generated and correctly populated.
Yesterday I added a new module to generate another sheet and pull data from the same SQL Server tables. Now if I run the userform it will work fine once and create all the needed sheets, and set all the charts to the proper ranges. However, if I delete all the created sheets and run the form again, I get:
Runtime Error '-2147417848 (80010108)'
Automation Error
The Object Invoked has disconnected from its clients
The error consistantly occurs for the following line of Selection.Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Master").Range("D1")
After the error the selected range still shows up as surrounded by a selection box, but if I change sheets, the box moves to the new sheet. Also I cannot select any new cells in the work book. In order to get Excel to work again I have to End Task from the Task Manager just to get it to close. When I restart Excel and go back to my work book I get the same results, i.e. The form works great once, then Excel dies.
I have tried qualifing all of the objects that can be qualified. I have tried setting all possible varriables to Nothing before exiting my macros. Nothing I have tried, or found suggested so far in the forum works.
