Macro Prompts And User Inputs
Jul 20, 2009
I am not new to excel - but I have never required the use of advanced excel features before today - so I apologize in advance. I am a health professional student (graduate level) assisting my preceptor in developing patient management mechanisms.
I am building an excel spreadsheet to manage current medications for several patients.
I have built the spreadsheet with the first 'sheet' being a directory and subsequent sheets being patient data files(one sheet per patient).
I am now in the process of creating a macro to build new patient data files (a new sheet for a new patient). I recorded a macro to build the new sheet with the proper formatting of information. What I am trying to do now is automate the naming and linking of the new sheet.
What I am really after is how can you create a "prompt" such that after activating the macro button it asks:
Patient last name:
Patient first name:
Then uses this data to:
1. Rename the newly made sheet to 'last, first'
2. Title the newly made sheet with 'last, first'
3. Create an entry in the directory in the 'last, first' format
4. Finally, build the hyperlink from the directory to the newly created sheet

I have recorded the following marco and it works fine. I would like to modify it so the user would highlight a range of cells rather than have the fixed area :
"'ConsExecProp@20120920'!R4C5:R113C21"
What code lines would need to be added?
Application.Goto Reference:="R4C5"
ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlConsolidation, SourceData:= _
Array("'ConsExecProp@20120920'!R4C5:R113C21"), Version:=xlPivotTableVersion12 _
[code]....

I want to build something like this....
function getdb(a,b,c,d,e,f........x)
getdb = a & "," & b & "," & c &....& x
end function
where x is the total number of variables.
So if in excel, I run getdb (a,b) that it will know that the funciton has only 2 variables but if i run getdb(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j) that it knows.
I am trying to avoid getdb(a,b,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,) as I bet the user will not know how many ","s to use

Is it possible to show a timer on a worksheet as a user inputs to it? I can get the timer to appear, using Application .OnTime Now() + TimeValue ("00:00:01"), "AutoRecalcWorkbook", but it's kind of modal -- that is, the user can't input at the same time it's running.

Say a user inputs information into the user form, when they click enter, it enters all the data on the next available line in a workbook.
Is is possible for the user to click a cell on a previously entered row, and have the userform populate with the existing information?
example.
say the user has to fill out 3 separate areas. 1, 2, 3. However the user only has data for 1 and 2. They go ahead and enter the infromation for 1 and 2 and click submit to transfer to sheet. Now later he gets information for area 3, can the row the information that he previously entered, lets say column 1, row 1, and it reopens the userform with the information for 1 and 2 prefilled from what he entered previously?

I have an excel document which automatically runs a macro when it opens. The macro itself opens various excel documents, copies, Pastes and Deletes work sheets then saves the updated files in a new location. I simply used the Application. ScreenUpdating = False at the start of the macro and Application.ScreenUpdating = True at the end of the macro to hide all the various opening and closing and formatting of workbooks.
My aim is for the user to be able to open the document, wait a few moments while the macro runs, then be presented with the finished article when the macro ends without any need for interaction. The problem I am getting is as the macro runs, various windows pop up with messages such as "The file C:... already exists do you wish to replace the file" with a yes or no wchoice and "Data may exist in the sheet(s) selected for deletion. with a delete or cancel choice To Permanently delete the data press Delete". What I want to be able to do is stop these windows popping up and for the macro to go ahead with replacing the file or deleting the sheets without being manually told each time.

One of the things it does throughout the course of the run is unprotect the worksheet, do what it needs to and then reprotects the sheet (using a password). On the second run, the sheet protection input box is shown and I am required to input the password before the code will execute.
The code that I have written uses an Add-in that pulls data from a database. As part of that retrieval, the other add-in protects the sheet without a password. Would that be causing my error?

I would like to write a macro that would insert a hyperlink to another file an would prompt the user to select the location of the file once the macro was run. I am not sure how I would get my macro to prompt the user to define the location (which is located on a network drive).

I have created macros before, but it was a step by step, easy to follow, guide from out textbook. Now I have to create one on my own from these directions.
So my first task was to create a macro that went to a specific worksheet, and made A1 the active cell. I created that macro.
Now it comes to where I have to open the macro in Visual Basic Editor and I am completely lost. I know absolutely nothing about this. This is what it looks like now:
Sub Show_Report()
'
' Show_Report Macro
' Macro recorded 4/25/2007 by *******
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+w
'
Sheets("Jeff").Select
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
So now these are the next directions. "Edit the Show_Report macro in the VBE so that the macro prompts the user for the name of the report to view (indicating that the user should enter "Jeff", "Sally", "Jane", "Jim", and "Harry") and then displays that worksheet. (HINT: You should run the edited macro to make sure that it runs correctly.) Include an If-Then-Else control structure to detect an error if the user enters an incorrect report name. If an error occurs, the macro should display a message box informing the user of the error.
So what Im thinking is I need a code so what when I hit my macro hotkey, it opens up a pop-up box and then I get to type in a worksheet name and it takes me to that worksheet.

I have created a time sheet in excel (see attached) that will be part of the larger workbook that will be linked with other sheets to auto fill in most fields. I am wondering if there is a way for an user to enter a Month and a Year at the top of the page and that in turn automatically fills in the days of the month by week.
So in attached sheet there are 5 boxes representing 5 weeks in a month. So if we used May 2014 as an example I would like to know if there is a way that once May 2014 is entered in up to top that. Excel fills in the dates in Week #1 with under Thursday showing 1st, under Friday showing 2nd as on for the entire month...
So as the month go by all user has to do is state the month and year and excel fills in the weekly dates for each day in month.

I am currently using this macro to fill down cells full of numbers which have been passed through formulae. It works for one input (C10), however I want it to work for another input (C11). Im trying to make it fill down the cells after a new set of headings identical to row 12. It has to take into account the rows used for the original fill down which relies on C10. I have tried to use the same macro twice, but I cant get it to do both layers. Basically I need a fill down of layer 1 (already done), and then a fill down for layer 2 after layer 1.

I'm trying to take 5 inputs that are all in text format and inputs have fixed options what i need is a macro that will take them and turn them in to the relevant outputs. there is a select amount of combinations and i've been asked to do each combination as a separate macro or sub macro.
What I have so far is;
If C6 = "Panel plate" And D6 = "24 by 21" And E6 = "<1.59" And F6 = "N/A " Then I6 = "120" And j6 = "4" And L6 = "120"
End Sub
A B C D E F G H I J K L
1
2
4
5
6 Panel plate 24 by 21 <1.59 N/A
7
8
9
10
(Doesn't seem to work)...
If those four cell match up then i need I6-L6 to line up with whats required.
If they don't equal that i need it to stay clear.
I also need to add the same macro with different options.

I want to create a macro to take multiple inputs from sheet 2, apply them simultaneously to the inputs on sheet 1, take sheet 1's output and list next to the inputs on sheet 2. I want to apply this to a spreadsheet with complicated calculations. Example spreadsheet attached. Related Macros I have will do a similar thing but only take one input at a time. Code as follows.
VB:
Sub x()
Dim r As Range
With Sheet2
For Each r In .Range("A2", .Range("A2").End(xlDown))
Sheet1.Range("A2") = r
r.Offset(, 2).Resize(, 3).Value = Sheet1.Range("C2:E2").Value
Next r
End With

I have a an Excel workbook (wb1) with 4 worksheets.
I also have a personal.xls that contains 4 worksheets.
wb1 has volatile functions.
I have calenders, dropdown lists, read from a file that is closed, etc..
When I open wb1, look at it (I do not make any changes by hand) then close it, it gives me the " Do you want to save?" prompt.
I have tried numerous codes to stop it and I can not get it.
I need it to give me the prompt if I have made a change and not give me the prompt if it is just a change from the volatile functions.
I cannot just tell it to save in the background because my boss does not want the date changed if it is just looked at.
The user opens numerous files when searching for a file that is almost what he needs, then he saves it with a new name and goes from there. Or he just opens numerous files to get ideas on how to make the new file.
The user cannot have to do anything to make it work.
I know that the code will need to be copied to any existing workbooks. I have the code to do that.
That would be done as the files are created to new ones. Also when he is starting from scratch the code would be in the template he uses. Eventually all of the files would be converted
Private Sub workbook_Open( )
Me.Saved = True
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
End Sub

As said a box appears with information guiding the user to what should be entered.
I inherited this spreadsheet and would like to edit the contents of this box and also learn how to make them myself.
Also I'd like to note that the box does not respond to right clicking

I have an appoinment calendar that is one month per worksheet
- Column headings 09:00 - 20:00
- Row headings 'days and dates of the month' (split into two merged cells of two)
****************See attachment 'Calendar Format.jpg'****************
I have then created a UserForm which has two dropdown combo boxes
****************See attachment 'UserForm.jpg'****************
What I want to do is have a way of using the dropdown boxes to select a column and row reference to enter the other data into the four lines in the outlined box area (see Calendar Format.jpg)
I want to be able to select a date - and to have only the dates from the sheet showing would be a bonus! - and have the script use that as its row reference, followed by selecting the time and having it add the column reference, and so selecting the correct cell to be able to then add all the other pieces of data.
I would just set it up so that it all worked by selecting the first cell, then adding, but I'm worried about other users not doing that and so causing things to be misplaced or overwritten!
I'm more than willing to change most things, but I do need to have those four pieces of info, and I only need to have a simple calendar.
If anything is not clear, please ask and I'll try to clarify further!
Forgot to add - In the pics I'm using 2007, but I want to be able to run this on 2000/2003 as that's what's in the offices and it's going to be shared on the server.

I have a workbook with extensive code of wich the VBE project is locked for viewing. Since i have distributed the workbook i had some users that gets prompt for a password when trying to run some code trough a button on a sheet. I have tried recreating this error by increasing the macro security level and unticking "trust access to vbe project" since i thought that is where the problem lies.
But i had no luck in recreating the error. I came accross some posts that had a similar error when you exit/close the workbook, wich was a problem with google desktop search being installed on the machine. Any ideas on why the user is being asked for a password ?, the code that should run does NOT try to alter/change anything in the code/project itself, so that shouldnt be the problem, but i can't think of anything else.

Workbook 1 has references to workbooks 2,3,4,5,6. When I click the top cross and choose Save All with Workbook 1 active, the deactivate event in workbook 6 runs to the end as it tries to close, but it can't close because workbook 1 references it. So nothing further happens until I click the top cross again. Then everything closes without any more prompts. Not good. If I could ensure workbook 1 closes first that should solve the problem. There may be another way of course.
I have attached 2 blank files to show the problem. test1 references test2. Open test1. It will open test2. Make a change to both files, activate test 1 and click the top cross, choose save all. Nothing happens usually.

In wrote a workbook in Excel 2003 that is causing me a problem I can not seem to figure out. The workbook consists of multiple worksheets that work using both VBA code or cell formulas. The worksheets are protected (though w/o a password) to prevent users from accidently altering a cell formula. When the code needs to write to a cell, it first unprotects the sheet, writes to the cell(s), and then reprotects the sheet.
Everything seems to work fine, often for several months. Then somehow something goes wrong. Specifically, after double-clicking on the ListBox in the worksheet “CRI Calculator” to pick a drug name, it will improperly present a dialog box (see attached screen capture 'Unprotect Sheet DialogBox.JPG') prompting the user for a password to unprotect the worksheet. Again, no password has ever been set; I have tried entering nothing, “password”, and "anonymous". Regardless of how you respond, an error code “Run-time error ‘1004’: The password you supplied is not correct…” occurs. If I press Debug, it takes me (ironically) to the following line of code

I would like to prompt the user of my Excel Macro, with a particular message which would appear while the code is running in the background, and then dissapear once the code if finished executing.
For instance:
I prompt the user "Do you want to run a new Query", Yes, No, or Cancel.
If they select yes, I would like a message appear that would advise them that "this may take some time, please be patient" and possibly give them a button that would allow them to cancel the process, all the while this process is running. Once the query is complete, the message would dissapear, or if they click on the cance button.

I have added a toolbar to an excel application that the company uses. I need this toolbar only to be accessed to this application and not any time that you open excel. I have used the following
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.CommandBars("Rithin-Toolbar2006").Enabled = True
Application.CommandBars("Rithin-Toolbar2006").Visible = True
go_cover
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_close()
Application.CommandBars("Rithin-Toolbar2006").Delete
Application.CommandBars("Rithin-Toolbar2006").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Rithin-Toolbar2006").Visible = False
End Sub
This works but only If I accept yes when it prompts me to save changes to the workbook. Each time I open the workbook and close it, it prompts me to save changes to the workbook. I dont want to force a save on the workbook, meaning have code that will save the workbook before closing. I want it such that if the user opens the workbook, and makes no changes, he/she should just close it with no questions asked.

I have many worksheets in a workbook that need to be saved if a user changesanything on them.
These sheet names all end in "....SD" and the code needs to only run on those sheets. I have learned alot from the forum but not enough, just yet . . This is what I have so far:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Dim sht As Object
For Each sht In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
If LCase(Right(ws.Name, 2)) = "sd" Then
MsgBox(Prompt:="You must save changes. Save now?", Buttons:=vbYesNo) = vbYes Then ThisWorkbook.Save
End Sub
It doesn't like the 2 "Then's". (Don't laugh - I'm trying.)

I have a macro where I manually select a cell then the macro kicks in to copy and paste the contents into the Find function. From there it goes to another work sheet, clicks on a cell in column one and searches for matching cell contents. Then If false it manually goes back to the original worksheet/cell and then I input a N in the left adjacent cell. If true I enter a Y. Right now I can only run this for the specific cell the macro was recorded for. I would like to expand this.
What I would like to do create a loop in the macro that waits for my cell choice input then continues with the with the Find function. If false the macro should just loop back to the original worksheet/cell and wait for input, ie the next cell selected. However, if true a worksheet/cell is selected, a Y is input and it loops back to the original cell and waits for input.
