I was wondering if it is possible to prevent a macro from running depending on what value is in a specified cell.
I have a huge excel sheet and a commandbutton that runs a bunch of macros in order to generate a report.
I want to force the user to select a specific project before all the macros are run. Just making the report for a specific project only takes a few seconds but if no project is selected then it runs throught the whole database and it takes forever.
I have set up a cell that changes value depending on wether a project is selected or not. I have placed the cell in the -ForMacros- sheet. Now is it possible to write some code into the commandbutton that halts the report generation + displays a warning box telling the user to select a project first?
What values used to determine wether the macro runs or not doesnt matter to me. Whatever is easier for you
I have attached a sample workbook for you to work on.
I have a worksheet with several option buttons and until yesterday, I had no problem selecting them. But today, every time, I select a radio button, an error shows up stating "Cannot run Macro "Option Button_click. Macro is not available in this workbook or is disabled". When the user selects a radio button, text appears in Col B depending on what button was selected (using VLOOKUP). That stuff is still working fine. It's just as soon as I click a radio button, the error shows up.
Based on the radio button selected, user can add in information to the columns adjacent to it, and then click a button to store that information in some rows below. The code for that button is stored in the sheet module. I have tried enabling macros and disabling macros and no change has appeared. What I have noticed though is that yesterday, when i opened the workbook, a yellow bar appeared asking if I wanted to "Enable Content". Today, that bar didn't appear.
Option Explicit forces explicit declaration of all variables in the code. That is why i had to declare ws as worksheet using the Dim statement before using it in the code. It is recommended to have it - however for this code it wouldn't have mattered.
I'm not sure I exactly follow what you imply here. But yes, you can hide all the sheets at first and then "unhide" at the start of the macro. Let's say you have a "Start" sheet.. then:
[Code] .....
The workbook is used by other people too. I cannot just tell them to hide the sheets, it defeats the purpose. What I want is, when macro is disabled, they will only see the START sheet, otherwise, all sheets will be visible. To add to this, a new sheet is added everyday. Sheets name are calendar dates in mmdd format
I accidently put the Application.Quit command in the wrong place. Now Excel closes immediately when the macro executes. I can get into Excel if I disable the macro, but then it won't let me edit the macro. Is there a way to edit my macro without executing it?
I'm trying to assign a shortcut to a macro I wrote in VB. However, when I go to Tools->Macros->Macros, none of my macros (whether coded in VB or recorded) have the "Options..." button enabled, so I can't assign the macro. This happens whether I use Excel 2003 or Excel 2007. The file is not readonly and I have tried the various levels of macro security. I have VBA installed.
But what I want to do now is to strikethrough to eliminate unwanted data when a particular option is selected from the drop down list. In this case ( If User choose "Mens" for Gender, and NOT "Pants", Then Strike though the Result "NIKE". This works for the template in column E only using this code.
[Code] ...............
I tried to modify this like
[Code] ...............
So that every time x changes, the condition changes, but it seems like I cant do, Range("NIKE_" & x).
When you enable macros the sheets 2, 3, 4 ect are visible but if you disable macros, you only see sheet 1 and and you can place a message on the sheet saying this will only work with macros enabled.
I have 2 columns and 10 rows (A1:B10). In column A are certain text values. How do I write a macro to go through the table and preform an operation in the corresponding cell in column B depending on the value in cell A? for example, if A3 = "Complete", overwrite the formula in B3 with the value (paste value)?
The purpose of the excel sheet is hour administration. In the first page you fill in which group it is about, what week it is about and the amount of hours to change.
There are several other sheets named after the group that are filled with some kind of agenda.
An example: I want to make a change to the amount of hours group X will be there in week 3. I fill out the 3 columns (Group, Week, Hours) and hit a button. It should now check those 3 columns for data and modify the hours for the correct group. It is not done yet but I'm running into a problem already, the function I use to find the row with the correct weeknumber in the Group sheet returns wrong numbers and I don't know why.
VB: Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim Week As Integer Dim WeekRow As Long Dim Groep As String Dim Uur As Integer
[Code] ....
What I am expecting to happen is this: It checks A1, B1 and C1, selects the correct sheet, executes the function FindRowByValue (the week number is in column B) and fills Week Row with the result, then returns to the original sheet, gives a debug message and repeats this 5 times.
The debug message shows that the Week Row is not returning the row with the week number I filled in but instead returns either the week number itself (so if I wanted to find week 5 it returns a 5, while week 5 is in row 28), or a different number that is incorrect.
I am trying to add a macro to the ACCT DATA sheet, which calls one of two subs (AddCarriertoChecklist() - or - ClrPolChList() located in seperate modules). The macro should call them depending on whether "X" is entered in a cell in column "E". The issue lies in that I have macros doing a few things to this sheet already, and I am unable to tie this one in.
I have the two subs (AddCarriertoChecklist() - or - ClrPolChList()) working. I just can't seem to get them called. This small bit is how I was attempting to call them.
[Code] ......
Below is how I currently have it tied in with the rest of the code for this sheet:
I will have a spreadsheet similar to the image provided. Basically, I need the macro to go row by row down column I. If the cell in column I contains the word "Tech" I need the cells from column B to P to be shaded color1; if it contains "Update," color 2; if the cell is blank; leave the cell as is. Once the macro has done this, it will continue to the next row and to the same check.
The number of rows in the spreadsheet will change on a day-to-day basis depending on the data that's pulled, but the columns should remain the same.
So I think I have the shading part. This is what I have so far. I'm not sure if this is the most efficient way of coding it, but it kinda works. I guess another problem would be if in the future the column with this info (column I) changes and shifts.

1) How do I set this up so that if the cell Z1 reads 1, it will paste the data to the "January" Sheet, if Z1 reads 2, it will paste to "February" Sheet, if Z1 is 3 it will paste to "March"......
I have a workbook with macro button to run some vba, if i want the button to disable when the user make copies of the workbook (date created is later than original wb saved time) what codes to add in the VBA?
what i assume is to add the time to a cell when the wb is saved, when the wb opens, it check for that cell if the same with the date created, if different, then disable the macro button.
In a macro I want to automatically insert a formula in several cells. The formula depends on other cells, and I want to be able to manipulate these cells with variables. Here is my code:
[Code] .....
All my variables are declared:
Sheets("DATOS YTD 2014").Cells(I, Semana + 1) is the cell I want to be able to chose due to the variables Sheets("DATOS YTD 2014").Cells(I, 3) is the reference cell for the VLOOKUP formula, that will vary with I SheetMonth.Range("B3:W172") is a range in the sheet SheetMonth which is fixed
The error message I receive is the following: "Run-time error 13, Type mismatch"
I precise that the next step is to make the ",6," part in the vlookup formula also variable... but I guess once my current issue is solved this one will be a piece of cake.
Just discovered the drawing tools on my quick access tool bar are disabled. All were enabled and working fine just yesterday. I'm running 07 on xp. I've shut down and rebooted, no change. Need to know how this could have happened but mostly, how to enable.
In the user form, the user will select a month, and according to the selected month the macro will run up to a certain point. I would like to know if there is a way to sort of "abort" the macro in a certain point, depending of the selected month.
I am creating a workbook and need the user to stay on a single page of the workbook until certain circumstances have been met, specifically, a macro has been activated, thus confirming that certain data is now in place. Is there a code of function that I can introduce into the workbook so that clicking on the other tabs of the other sheets will not allow the user to leave the page they are on until that circumstance is met?
The boolean Cancel suddenly stopped working for me in all workbook and worksheet events. Consider a simple example:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean) Cancel = True End Sub
does not cancel right click, like it has before. Same with BeforeDoubleClick. I can only assume it is some kind of a setting or similar, as there is absolutely no change in the code.
I was playing around with Macros on an excel file. I created a few and ran them. In the end, I didn't like the way they ran, so I deleted them all. However since I ran them in the excel file, every time I open the file it gives me a warning saying "Macros have been disabled."
Is there any way to remove the possible Macros ties/links from my file? I know I can disable the warning, but if I just want to remove the Macros ties to my file.
I'm using excel 2003 and received a file that has the properties (file/Properties) menu option grayed out. I need to access the properties menu to identify file information.
when i put a file across a network, it should be shared among all the users, but it appears as read only file and the option of track changes in the tools function is disabled. However, when i open an excel file in a stand alone pc, and use the track changes option, i get the file as (shared) as the header. what is the significane or meaning of this word "shared" in a stand alone pc?
How do I disable a custom menu item when a user is entering data in a cell?
For example... when the formula bar in Excel has focus, and a user tries to select Data > Sort, the Sort item is disabled. But when the focus is back to the worksheet, Data > Sort is enabled.
I need to do the same thing for my custom menu items.
I have a protected worksheet which enables only certain sections to be edited, data inputs etc. I also have a set of rows grouped which need to be activated depending on data type for particular projects to be captured. Problem is, when the sheet is protected, when users click on the + and - buttons to either ungroup and group the rows depending on type of project, this feature is disabled.
I get a popup alert that tells me "You cannot use this command on a protected worksheet. To use this command you must first unprotect the sheet ....". Problem is I don't want all users to have access as giving them the password defeats my purpose of protecting the sheet.
