Macro For Checking If Value Exists In Different Workbook And Adding If Missing
Aug 19, 2013
I would like to have a macro designed. I have 2 workbooks, one having latest information and the other having the information in database already. both workbooks have 26 columns each. I would like to check if a value that exists in Column A of the "latest-information" workbook also exists in the "already-in-database" workbook. If so, I would like to update all 26 columns of that row in the "already-in-database" workbook with information from the "latest-information" workbook. If the value does not exist, I would like to add all 26 fields in that row into a new sheet on the "already-in-database" workbook.
I'm trying to create a questionnaire and in each question you got to rank the answers 1, 2, 3 and 4 according to your preferences.
So I'm trying to use data validation to allow ranges between 1 and 4 and at the same time I'm trying to use =countif($A$1:$A$20,A1)=1 to prevent repeating selections but my problem is that with the data validation tool I can only select one of those options either allowing whole numbers between 1 - 4 or allowing custom and using =countif($A$1:$A$20,A1)=1.
I got the following code to create new worksheets based on the values in column "a". However, I don't know how to check if the new worksheets to be created already exist.
For k = 2 To 10 x = range("a" & k).value Worksheets(Worksheets.Count).Copy after:=Worksheets Worksheets.Count) Worksheets(Worksheets.Count).Name = x Next
I need a line of code that will display a message box if a specific sheet does not exist. eg. If sheet called "ThisSheet" does not exist, then display the message "Not here". I've been struggling with this one!
I have a file of users and security codes. each user should have at least one security code. How can I get rid of all the good combinations and only leave the bad ones?
Example: user: joe blo security code = 1 user: jim white security code = 1 user: sam song security code=5 user: jo jo user: billy boy security code=1
You can see Jo Jo does not have a security row. I need to the good ones to be removed so only the user with the missing security code is left:
If seen a couple of examples but for whatever reason it doesn't work on my sheet. (Excel 2010 32 bit) I don't understand how to highlight the entire column to see this particular value is not in this list. I have two lists, I want to see what data am I missing In list 2 that I have in list one. Basically all I am trying to do is see what values are not in the second list but are in the first list so I can later add them to the second list. (Also the 2nd list is longer than the first if that makes a difference.)
In Excel I've always had a Personal file come up when Excel was opened. It may have accidently got closed??? The personal file does not open with Excel and I am unable to find it. It is required to run macros correct?
My company uses two excel workbooks to track campaigns, I'm looking to create a VBA script that can detect when a new worksheet is added to the other workbook when it is activated. To provide a more concrete example:
In workbook one there are worksheets : Apple, Orange, and Pear
In workbook two there are rows Titled: Apple, Orange, and Pear. Each row has formulas that pull from the specific worksheet.
Then a 4th worksheet, Grape, is added to workbook one. I'm aiming to make a script/button which when activated would notice that there is not a corresponding row named Grape and create one.
However, more simply, I could also make this work if I could just create a Script which when activated populated a column in workbook two with all the worksheet names from workbook one.
I have the following code which copies a sheet to another workbook and renames it with the current date. However I need it to check if there is a sheet already existing in the other workbook with todays date first. If there is then it should delete the old sheet and copy the new sheet or just overwrite it.
I have an array that opens a workbook containing close to 100 worksheets, and copies specific sheet names into there own individual workbooks. The problem I have now, is that I assume the worksheet exists in the workbook, but often times it does not Is there a way to add some sort of "catch" that will 1st verify the worksheet exists instead of my code crashing?
I have written a routine that automatically saves the file to a specified folder as the name of a cell from one of the worksheets. I am trying to use the following code to see if that filename already exists and stop the routine if it does. If I manually enter an existing filename the routine works well, however I cannot get it to recognise the automatically created filename, here is my .....
I have a macro that 'opens all' workbooks in the specified folder. I've copied it over, but need to only open all the wbk's if a specified worksheet exists w/in the wbk..I know there is a dim ws statement that can be used, but how do i use it w/ the current macro?
Option Explicit Sub recTestOpenAll() Dim x As Integer Dim WB As String Dim wbk As Workbook For x = 1 To 100 WB = "G:Rule Test FilesREC " & x & ".xls" On Error Resume Next Set wbk = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=WB) On Error Goto 0 If Not wbk Is Nothing Then End If Next End Sub
I know this is my third thread, but I have made sure that I have trawled through other threads before posting. I have created some VBA to collect data from multiple workbooks and paste them into one workbook, Basically the copy and paste script runs according to how many tabs are in the summary workbook because each tab ( sheet) is essentially a condensed version of a workbook. Unfortunately some workbooks I am getting the info from don't have the right data that the copy and paste program is looking for or sometimes the document doesn't exist, is there anyway of telling my VBA to pass this tab if the document doesn't exist instead of throwing up a VBA debug error?
I can delete Sheet5 using this macro. I would like to put this in the workbook so that when I close the workbook it will be activated if Sheet5 exists. If Sheet5 does not exist nothing will happen.
Sub DeleteSheet5 () Application.DisplayAlerts = False Sheets("Sheet5").Delete Application.DisplayAlerts = True End Sub
how to mark the post as solved other than go advanced and selecting solved from the drop down menu can you tell me how?
suppress range name already exists when coping out workbook. I’m coping the selected worksheet out to another workbook…sometimes I get a message that a range name already exists and do I want to rename or not?. I always want to say no (don’t rename)…?
Application. ScreenUpdating = False On Error Resume Next Dim wb As Workbook Dim ws As Worksheet Set ws = ActiveSheet Set wb = Application.Workbooks.Open("\03-serverdatadatabasemarterialListingsArchive.xls") If Err.Number <> 0 Then MsgBox Err.Description & "help" Else 'ws.Copy After:=wb.Sheets(wb.Sheets.Count) ws.Move After:=wb.Sheets(wb.Sheets.Count) wb.Save wb.Close 'ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete End If Application.ScreenUpdating = True MsgBox "Worksheet has been Archived..."
when I go to ThisWorkbook and click the left side dropdown at the top of the code window, I can't see the word "Workbook" appear. What I can see is only (General) and there is no other choices.
Other worksheet and application event work fine.
attached is a screen shot when i try to add a workbook event.
I'm having a slight problem with this script. What I'm looking to do is before the workbook is closed is check to see if the workbook already exisits on the users desktop if it doesnt then save it to the users desktop. if is does exists then just exit the sub. Here is what I have so far but for some reason it kept displaying the aleart message that the file already exists and wants to save it again.
I just added the displayalerts = false in but the script still does not know that file already exists. So when the file is closed it keeps saying file has been placed on your desktop.
I am trying to write some code that will copy the worksheets from one workbook (wkbSource) to another (wkbTarget), but I need it to maker sure the worksheets being copied from wkbSource don't already exist in wkbTarget. If they do exist, it just skips and moves to the next worksheet. Here is the code I have already, I thought that by adding the On Error Resume Next to the code it would just skip it, but for some reason it is still copying the first duplicate workbook, then it skips.
Code: Dim wkbSource As Workbook Dim wkbTarget As Workbook Dim WorkbookName As String WorkbookName = ThisWorkbook.Name
However it will only add data to the active sheet when i am asking it to loop through the workbook missing out specified sheets. Would anyone be able to look over the code to see where the error is as to why it will not loop through the remaining sheets in the work book.
SETUP: I have a shared workbook that is accessed by many people. It is designed to control the flow of work during the monthly close process. These processes are controlled by macros. There are 40 sheets in this workbook.
PROBLEM: On of my location's workbooks frequently loses half of it's sheets in the workbook. Counted in the neighborhood of 14 to 19 sheets go missing.
EFFORTS: I have attempted to Delete, Cut, Move, etc... these sheets with no success.
Only when I put the file in an exclusive state can I manipulate the sheets.
I have been searching the forum for weeks now for an solution to my need, but was unsuccessful. I have two Workbooks. One is for tracking new enrollments in the school for whom I work named WVT.xls and the other is for tracking the school materials assigned to each student named 2007.xls (for inventory accounting). I need to streamline adding new enrollments names to both Workbooks by adding to only one manually and then using VBA code to update the names in the other workbook. The sequence would be to type the names into WVT.XLS and run a macro in 2007. XLS to automatically update the names. Below is the locations of the same named columns in each workbook.
First Name Last Name WVT.XLS Column B Column A
2007.XLS Column B Column C
In 2007.XLS, there is a sheet for each school location that is represented by a unique school code. In WVT.XLS, there is one sheet for all enrollments from the start of distributing materials. Each row is a student. There is a column that contains the unique school code to identify in which school the student has enrolled.
This is quite a complicated one so please feel free to help in chunks rather than the whole at once...
From Row 9 onwards column A and C are checked.
Condition 1
If in column A and column C the same values exists in the next row down e.g. A9 = JONES C9 = Peter and A10 = JONES C10 = Peter then the data in column E is checked for those two rows.
In the two checked rows in Column E, data which contains the words Pre-int, Upper-int, Int, Elementary, Advanced or Beginner is then inserted into D5 on spreadsheets titled "Schedule A GE2" and "Schedule B GE2".......
I have checked the following reference whithin Excel VBA's references Manually:
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility 5.3
BUT when I run the following Macro, once checked the prior reference:
Sub AddModuleToProject() On Error Resume Next Debug.Print Err ' I GET 0 Dim VBProj As VBIDE.VBProject: Set VBProj = ActiveWorkbook.VBProject Debug.Print Err ' I GET 1004 Dim VBComp As VBIDE.VBComponent: Set VBComp = VBProj.VBComponents.Add(vbext_ct_StdModule) Debug.Print Err ' I GET 91 VBComp.Name = "NewModule" Debug.Print Err ' I GET 91 End Sub
I have a huge list of entries everyday (around 50,000) that needs a time stamp. Each of them has a time difference of 5 seconds in between. That is between two entries there is a time difference of 5 seconds. I use now() function to put the time stamp. The only problem is that I cannot have any value after 4:29:59 PM. That is, I need a macro that would check for the values in the C column, and if they are after 4:29:59 PM, put the value 4:29:59 PM, instead of the real time.
In cell C1: IF((TIME(HOUR(NOW()),MINUTE(NOW()),SECOND(NOW()))) >(TIME(16,29,59)),(TIME(16,29,59)),(TIME(HOUR(NOW( )),MINUTE(NOW()),SECOND(NOW())+5)))
In cells C2:C9999999: IF((TIME(HOUR(NOW()),MINUTE(NOW()),SECOND(NOW()))) >(TIME(16,29,59)),(TIME(16,29,59)),(TIME(HOUR(C1), MINUTE(C1),SECOND(C1)+5)))
However, the problem is I have so many entries that after a 10000 or so the time passes 4:30 PM. I think the only way to fix this would be to add a macro.
Right now, when selecting "Sheet2", this macro auto runs, and does it's thing. Is there a way to code it so that upon selecting sheet2, if data exists in the cells, make the macro go to the end of the list? For instance, this macro is great the first time someone goes to sheet2, but if they begin putting data in, and need to go back to sheet1 to reference something, then come back into sheet2, this macro runs again and moves the focus to the cell I coded. I need it to realize that there is now info in the cells, and move not to the selected cell, but to the end of the newly entered data.
Sub Macro3() FinalRow = Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Row If Range("Manual").Value = True Then Sheets("Usage").Activate ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=48 Range("A11").Select Else 'assume Manual is false if it is not true above Sheets("Usage").Activate ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=49 Range("A59").Select End If End Sub
