Macro To Open Workbook - In Selected Destination
Oct 9, 2009
I currently have a macro that goes into a specified folder and opens all the files within that folder. This works great for me, but if i have to change the location of the folder i need go into the macro and change the destination code.
I was hoping to let other people use this, but not necessarily people who would be able to go in and manually change the folder location. What i was wondering is if there is a function out there which would pop up a browse box which would allow the user to specify the folder location in which the files are kept? This would mean any user could use the tool to open the files without having to have the spreadsheet setup up on their machine.

I have a cell in one worksheet xxx in workbook XXX column F selected
I want to run a macro that will open (if not already open) Worksheet yyy in workbook YYY (in C:/Test/ directory)
And copy values from columns B and C of workbook XXX worksheet xxx (the row determined by the cell selected in the F column) to columns D and G respectivley of workbook YYY worksheet yyy
I'm hoping the data will be pasted to a new row at the bottom of all existing rows on worksheet yyy (xlup?)
If multiple cells in column F worksheet xxx are selected, it would be nice if the data was sent over to yyy in the same fashion, ordered top to bottom all at once...I don't want to have to select each row individually and run the macro

I am working with multiple workbooks with several tabs in each one. I need the forumula to update the "sheet name" from the source workbook even if the destination workbook is closed.
this is a portion of the forumula I am working with:
=SUM(IF(AND([L2_EI_Phase_II_monitoring_workbook.xlsx]Sheet25!$I$4>=182,[L2_EI_Phase_II_monitoring_workbook.xlsx]Sheet25!$I$4=182,
[L2_EI_Phase_II_monitoring_workbook.xlsx]Sheet26!$I$4=182,
[L2_EI_Phase_II_monitoring_workbook.xlsx]Sheet27!$I$4

My first shot at a function! hows it look?
Code:
Function wbIsopen(wbname As String) As Boolean
On Error Resume Next
WbIsOpen - (workbooks(wbname).Name = wbname)
End Function
[Code]...
This is also my first shot at using a DIM and Set. I am attempting to move the data from 1 workbook sheet to another after it has been sorted. But if i only have the source open i want it to open the destination workbook and sheet then paste and close the source sheet. If the source is open I want it to go to the next command.

I did a macro on my mac to transfer a sheet from one workbook to another worbook. It works very well when the destination workbook is open. Therefore I wanted to add some piece of code to check if the destination workbook is open. If not then I wanted the macro to open it before tranfering the sheet. Here is the code I´m using for tranfering the sheet
Sub Transfer_Sluttet()
If ActiveSheet.Index <> Sheets.Count Then
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set ws = ActiveSheet
Sheets(ws.Index + 1).Delete
ws.Move Before:=Workbooks("Sluttet.xls").Sheets("sheet2")
'Moves active sheet to beginning of named workbook.
'Replace Test.xls with the full name of the target workbook you want.
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End If
End Sub
This is the type of macro I useually use on my pc to check if a workbook is open and if not then open it
If IsWorkbookOpened("Filename.xls", "C:Documents and ..................

I want see if it's possible to take the name of the source workbook and put it in a cell in my destination workbook and then use that as the reference in formulas. The source document title includes a date that changes yearly, or in some instances changes entirely, and I want to keep the formulas in the destination workbook intact. I don't want to have to go to every instance where I have used the source workbook and change the title. Instead I would like to copy the source workbook title, paste it into the destination in the same cell and have that propogate the needed changes into the destination workbook formulas.

Here's my macro:
Code:
Sub CopyRow()'
'Copies row to new sheet, highlights it, marks column 'A' as copied.
'
Dim cCell As Range
Set cCell = Selection.Cells(1, 1)
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Rows("2:2").Select
[Code] .....
Is it possible to modify it to paste into a different workbook called c:filesDestination.xlsm, instead of the existing workbook (Source.xlsm)? The destination sheet name is the same (Sheet2). It's OK if both workbooks are open at the same time.

Is there a way to run a macro in an open workbook when the workbook becomes activated or deactivated? So if I have workbook A open with a macro in it and workbook B open as well, can I have the macro run on workbook A when that becomes the workbook I see on my screen?

I have created a spreadsheet some time ago and have been asked to improve on it but I'm rusty with VBA.
I have an automated ordering system that saves each sent order as the date e.g "05-04-2013.xls" but the management team want a graph with the data for the last 4 weeks compared. I have created a seperate workbook called "consumables report.xls" which has a column with the products listed followed by columns "Quantity" and "cost" which is repeated for the 4 weeks of the month.
I want to add a button to prompt the user to choose the saved order e.g "05-04-2013.xls" (all orders saved in same directory) to copy and paste the quantity and cost columns (c8,D69) into "consumables report.xls". I got this to work earlier but it would only paste the formulas and not the values. So I need
A prompt to open workbook
Copy range (c8,d69)
Close work sheet
Paste special .value (c8,D69)
I dont care if it has to open the workbook to copy the data as this will only be used once a month so it dosnt matter how slow the code is.
week 1 week 2 week 3 week 4
Product
quantity
cost
quantity
cost
cost
quantity
cost

I have the following VBA code that will copy data from one workbook to another.
Sub copytoanotherworkbook()
Dim smallrng As Range
Dim destrange As Range
Dim destWB As Workbook
Dim Lr As Long
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
If bIsBookOpen("P&WM Estimate Tracking Sheet.xls") Then
Set destWB = Workbooks("P&WM Estimate Tracking Sheet.xls")
Else
Set destWB = Workbooks.Open("N:Estimate SheetP&WM Estimate Tracking Sheet.xls")
End If
Lr = LastRow(destWB.Worksheets("Tracking Sheet")) + 1
Set sourceRange = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Links").Range("A1:L1")
Set destrange = destWB.Worksheets("Tracking Sheet").Range("A" & Lr)
sourceRange.Copy
destrange.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, , False, False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
The problem I am having is that when it copies the data to the last line of the destination workbook, I have a formula in column I of the destination workbook that calculates days remaining. How would I go about creating an autofill to fill the formula to only the last row of data? I've read some posts on this, but I don't think they deal with what I need.

I want to fill all a column bottom-up but without specify cells in format "A1500:A2" like
VB:
Range("H1578").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("H2:H1578")
{H1578 have a formula so...}
I have data in the first 7 columns, with a variable(Range) for the first 5 columns
VB:
Dim oRange As Range
Set oRange = ActiveSheet.Range(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0), ActiveCell.Offset(89, 4))
{The first cell in it is A1}
My question is : How to fill Range("H2:H1578") using my ''oRange'' variable?
I try with OffSet but my code didn't work. I need to do the same with the 6 columns to the right and then plot in a chart.

I created folder on my desktop to hold various documents. I have master excel document which contains forms and command buttons that open documents from same folder. Is there a way to change code instead of having full file path to specify current directory. I'm worried that if I move this folder to another location then my open file button will not work since location is changed.
Also when I open with command button word document, I have a button on word document to close. I can close document but word application is still active. Can I close word application with the document at the sam time. This is the code I'm using: "ActiveWindow.Close"

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
[Code] .........

I currently have a macro set up to run once a workbook is saved/ closed. This works fine unless tehre is more than one workbook open. When I try it with more than 1 different workbook open I get a run error.
My code begins:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
and then performs the macro. I don't really want to specify the filename as this is liable to change. Is there anyway of adding a "this workbook" command to the text string, and if so where would it go?

I found an outlook plugin that saves any incoming emails as text. It also has an option to run an exe or bat file on saveing the email to text. I have a macro in a worksheet that will process the email to a database and send out a response.
What I am trying to figure out is how to run the macro in the worksheet whenever an incoming email is saved. So I have the 2 components that I need, I just need to tie them together so that everything is automated.
Does anyone know how to achieve this? Can I use a batch file to open an excel workbook and run a macro? Or can I create a standalone macro (outside of excel) that can open the excel file and run the macro.

i have a button on my workbook1 that opens another workbook (lets call it workbook2) and automatically runs a macro on opening it. Once opened i have a button on workbook2 to close itself. I then go back to see workbook1. This all works but then when i click on the button to open the workbook2 again it opens but the macro does not run.

The problem is that LastRow does not seem to look in the workbook that the macro has open, and always returns a value of 1. If I place the sheet that i want to run the macro on, in the workbook that contains the macro there is no problem. What do I need to do to fix this.
LoopCount = Sheets("Dates").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
rng = 2
i = 1
Do
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=7, Criteria1:="=" & Sheets("Dates").Range("A" & rng), Operator:=xlAnd
z = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For y = 2 To z
If Rows(y).Hidden = False Then Exit For
Next y
MsgBox y
MsgBox z
Range("H" & z).Formula = "=Countif($A$" & y & ":$A$" & z & ",A" & z & ")"
Range("H" & z).Copy Destination:=Range("H" & y & ":H" & z)
rng = rng + 1
i = i + 1
Loop Until i = LoopCount

I am looking to check if its open, if it is, then copy the row, if not, then close it.
I am still new to vb, so learning as I go, but looked at many other posts, and there are so many ways i have seen to open one, I'm not sure which is the best, and none that I have seen show me if they check if its open.

I have a workbook with the following
Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Occ-Rent-Concess Worksheet").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="pass"
ActiveSheet.Select
Cells.Locked = True
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="pass"
pass:
UserName = InputBox("Enter Log On Name to Continue..............................................
This code opens a msgbox that asks for a password and then unlocks certain cells based on what the password is. I have 140 of these workbooks. I need to be able to open them all and change one cell in each file, save it and close. I've gotten the macro written to open, change and save the files, but I am still having to type the 'password' 140 times. Is there a way to bypass it?

I am trying to write code to open a new (blank) workbook while in an existing workbook (I am then going to pass data between the two which is easy). When I try to record the code to get the syntax for opening a new workbook it will not record any code. I also need to name the new workbook based on text in a cell in the existing workbook. I just saw before posting this that the code;
workbooks.add
will open a new workbook now I just need to name the new workbook based on text in my existing workbook.

I have data that is on a separate .txt file (the source file) that resembles this;

Using VBA from within the destination workbook, I would like to use an input box that allows the user to request/specify what numerical number (0 through 55) in Column B of the txt file (the source file) will be used to determine what data to copy to the destination file. The cells to copy to the destination file would be from Column A through Column G of the source file onto Sheet1, E2 of the destination file.
Column B of the Source file will only contain numbers. However there will be numerous identical numbers in Column B. All of which will need to be copied onto the destination workbook.
From the sample above, if the user were to enter '15' in the input box, the desired result on the destination sheet beginning at E2 would look like this;
E
F
G
H

J

I am trying to create a simple macro to open a second workbook if the value in a cell in the current workbook is 'x' or if 'y' do nothing.
Basically I have a simple sales ledger, one column has a yes/no for whether or not an invoice is paid if no I want to open a second workbook 'debtors' so that I can manually input the details. I'm sure this is a very simple proceedure but I can't seem to crack it.

I need to have a workbook (all of them in a folder, ideally) refresh in the middle of the night. The file is large so the refresh takes a full minute. I know I can't auto refresh a closed workbook (pretty sure anyway), and I can't leave the workbook open for various reasons.
So I'm thinking I could have a macro in an open excel (it kicks off on open) that will open a particular workbook elsewhere (the one I need refreshed), open it, refresh it and close/save it. Ideally it would do this for the entire group of workbooks in the folder but I'd be happy to start with just one. I would like to set it to occur every twelve hours (so at midnight, say, this would occur - I would just have to leave the workbook with the macro in it open on a computer so that it runs and completes this task every night).

I am relatively new to writing script in excel. I have a 34 sheet workbook that includes inputs, intermediate calculations and then reporting outputs.
I am trying to write macros to do the following
1. On opening - all sheets except a contents page (with macro buttons on it) are hidden
2. One of the macros on this page will unhide all sheets (i.e. a 'developer mode')
3. One of the macros will unhide all relevant input and reporting sheets (i.e. a 'user mode')
I originally set up macros to run on workbook opening that hid all sheets except the contents page and this was working but ran into trouble when I opened up the 'User Mode' saved my changes and exited - the macro didnt work when I went to open again (I think because some of the sheets were visible and some werent and it was trying to hide sheets that were already hidden).
To counter this I set up a macro that made all worksheets visible on workbook closing - this works except I keep getting a 'Save' prompt from excel because the location of selected cells (or the sheet I am viewing) has changed from last opening (not to mention the inputs may change).
I am thinking the best way to fix this as follows:
1. Keep the opening macro the same
2. Keep the user/developer macros the same
3. On closing - develop a macro that unhides all sheets after the user has selected whether or not they have made changes to the sheet in a pop up message box - if they choose yes then they are prompted to save as and then the macro to hide all sheets runs on the new version - if they choose no then they are not prompted to save the document (i.e. next time they open they will be opening back at the contents page with the same inputs they started with in the previous session).

I have a macro in a workbook template,that when the workbook is open it populates a cell with the date and time such as 111711.507. This becomes the contract number for this workbook.. They complete the form or workbook and save it. The next time they open the saved workbook the macro runs and changes the contract number to a new number. I want to disable the macro on the saved workbook from changing the number.
