I have a spread sheet in excel that I enter a date(a1) the supplier(b1) product ordered (d1) and an order number(g1) when I record a macro to copy theses cells in to a sheet called a purchase order sheet (i.e. A1,B1,D1,G1) the macro runs and prints off the order sheet how do I get the macro to run when I fill in line (A2 etc) when I enter a new order.

View 9 Replies View RelatedThis problem occurs in EXCEL 2000/2002/2003. I open a CSV file generated by perform.exe and convert the information using Data/TextToCollumns - Delimited/Colon and Finish. When i execute these steps in Excel i don´t have problem, but when repeat these steps after recording a macro (Tools/Macro/Recording Macro) occurs this problem.
After a click finish option, i receveid this message
"Numero excessivo de continuações de linhas" (Portuguese message)

and recording macro stop. I don´t know what happen. I attach a ZIP file with a CSV file to test and analysis.
I frequently use the record option to start off my macros. I realize this usually results in recorded events which are not absolutely necessary (recording a print macro is one that is full of excess line items). I then try and combine what I have recorded with what I have garnered from this wonderful website. If my spreadsheets are small - and I am not writing code to pass any inspections - is there a need to go back and clean up?

Both sheets are in the same workbook.

I am having trouble with a project for school. The instructions are: (In Worksheet 1) Type Your Name. Now, begin recording a Macro. Copy and Paste your name from Worksheet 1 to Worksheet 2. Fill in the background and edit the font. End.
Here is an example of the coding.
ActiveCell.Range("A1:E1").Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic

Now, according to the instructions I should be able to run the Macro in any worksheet....but anytime I run the Macro in any other worksheet I just get a yellow block without my name there.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working on this project that involves opening several Excel spreadsheets and copying the data into a new workbook. The problem is that the names of the various worksheets I want to copy change every day - it always reflects the date. I open 7 workbooks, go to the sheet named (for example)01.17.07, copy a static range and then paste it to a new workbook.
Is it possible to record a macro and use a cell reference in the destination workbook (the one I want to copy to) to tell it which worksheet to copy? So, for example, I would type 01.17.07 in cell A1 of the new workbook and the macro would look for the sheet named 01.17.07 when running? Then tomorrow, I could type 01.18.07 and it would know to look for a different sheet?
How can I make XL (2000) display the macro start/stop recording and relative/absolute box that used to appear whenever I started recording a macro?
Such an apparently simple issue, but I can't resolve it!
Somehow I lost this small box, and I know how to force it to display via customize, but it doesn’t seem to work the same (relative does not work as such) and the buttons or box disappear.
I'm trying to record a macro that is using vlookups to get data from another data sheet, this data sheet will update each month - the old data moving back a column (so the new data is filled into the same column each time).

I have recorded the below:

I'm trying to record a macro that calls up the saveas dialogue and uses a filename from a cell (it's the w/c date). I can start recording the macro, open the dialogue box and copy the contents of the cell but i can't get it to paste as the filname.
What I'm trying to achieve is to allow users of a muli-sheet workbook to be able to click on a 'save' button on any sheet and have the workbook save with a filename which includes the current week commencing date. This way all the weeks changes will be in just one file and from the following monday a new file will be started the the old one left alone as an archive.
I've created VBA code in Access 2007 to create a column chart in Excel, and it is working. I need to change the rotation on my category labels to 270 degrees vertical. When I record a macro on the chart in Excel 2007. I only receive the following

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that is designed to paste a row of formulas into each Subtotal line on a 30,000+ line spreadsheet. I have specified the formulas that I want to paste in the named range "formulas". The macro below worked fine for about 3000 lines, then threw the error Run-Time Error 1004: Paste Method of Worksheet Class Failed on teh line ActiveSheet.Paste. I thought it had just bogged down my computer, so I added teh ScreenUpdating and Calculation lines, but they made no difference. I also tried reducing the range to just a couple thousand lines, which also made no difference. I also have found some suggestions on this forum and others for this error.
In addition to it working fine for 3000 lines, then failing, there are a couple other weird things. One is that on the line in the spreadsheet that threw the error, the formulas were pasted in up to column AX, leaving columns AY through CR blank. The second odd thing is that this exact same macro still works on my sample data spreadsheet (which only has around 50 records).
Sub FormatTotalRows()
Dim rCell As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Workbooks("latest.xls").Activate
Range("formulas").Select
Selection.Copy
For Each rCell In Range("A3040:A5000")
If Len(rCell) > 0 Then
rCell.Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
Next

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an excel file emailed to me everyday. It is a daily tracking of our fleet and I manipulate it before printing it and giving it to management. I dont know why when I try to record the macro and then use it it hides all columns.
The report has columns A-N. I hide B, F-G, I, M-N. When recording I hide multiple columns across.
I have done similar macros with other reports, no problem.
how can i record a cell's value on a different tab every x seconds?
the value is updated every y seconds and i would like a list in column A of the cell's changing values.
every refresh may produce the same value.
I have a DDE-based worksheet, that is obtaining data from Townsend Analytics' RealTick Server software. One of my cells is a DDE formula that retrieves the current BID ask price, for a given stock.
When a new BID price comes in to my designated cell, I need to somehow capture the existing BID price, before this new one updates in the requisite cell. I want to be able to store this "old" value in another cell.
Unfortunately, there is no "pre-cell" event trapping. I've tried to work with the worksheet_change event, which passes an argument of the effected cells, but the cell value has already changed, by the time this event has been called.
This problem sounds simple, but I am at a loss for a solution. Does anybody out there in EXCEL-land have a solution ?
On my spreadsheet I want to move a column at the start of the day (as one column is todays values, the one previous is yesterdays). I have tried the following but it doesnt like it:-
Sub RQV()
Dim warn As Integer
warn = MsgBox("Do you wish to move RQV data to yesterday?", vbYesNoCancel)
Sheet1. Unprotect
Range("F2:F65536").Select
Selection.Cut
Range("E2").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Sheet1.Protect
End Sub
It comes out with a run time error 1004? It needs to be a paste special as I just want the values put in. I have tried recording a macro to see how the vba code works, but it doesnt give me the option to paste special for some reason and I presume this is why the error occurs.
Say i wanted to track the changes in a cell, i.e. if a number changes in a cell it records the new number in a new column. The following macro achieves this for one value; say type a value in a15, it records the number changes in column D;
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim DestCell As Range
With Target
If .Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(.Cells, Me.Range("a15")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If IsEmpty(.Value) Then Exit Sub
If IsError(.Value) Then Exit Sub
[code]...
But what if need to track the value of 4 cell changes in different columns, and record these values into different colums of their own? So for example, if i had a value in a1, and wanted to paste the changes into D; if i had a value in a2, and wanted to paste the changes into E; if i had a value in b7, and wanted to paste/record the changes into F etc etc.
I thought about running the macro for each cell but it wont work, for example i tried;
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim DestCell As Range
With Target
If .Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(.Cells, Me.Range("a1")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If IsEmpty(.Value) Then Exit Sub
If IsError(.Value) Then Exit Sub

I have a training matrix. The following letters represent something F, P & S. and are placed in the matrix. On a seperate sheet I calculate these using the COUNTIF(B2:E7,"F") so on and so on. This is done because the matrix is quite vast and to sit and look through would take an age and I'm already nearly retired lol.
1st question:
Also in the matrix are dates when a student has finally passed a subject is it possible to use the same formula to calculate all these .
2nd question:
I also want to be able to record on a weekly basis how many new subjects have been trained out but don't know where to start . i would like a chart indicating for instance Week 1 5 subjects, Week 2 25 subjects. What i don't want to happen though is when you add Weeks 2 data for Week 1's to increase with it.
