I am using the following code to add in an entry to the sheet named "Upload Log". I am currently using the "Now" function to input date and time. problem is everytime the sheet changes the formula changes and alters the times. I am trying to create a log of each time this code runs. so I have a record of it. This code seems to work but rather than placing the formula in the cell as I have written here, I just want the code to place the values that formula would place, but not the actual formula. How can I change this code to do that?
I want to automate the download process of these scan files we use. I can figure out how to do that if not for the two wildcards I'm about to throw out.
What I can't seem to figure out is how to use VBA to determine which files to import. I was thinking about possibly having VBA look for the time stamps on these files in the scan file directory, and then only import those ones which created in less than an hour from current time.
I have only a few days of VBA experience, so I don't have a clue where to start. If anyone could provide assistance/point me in the right direction.
By the way, the files that I am importing will be a comma delimited file. However, for some reason, the files are all extensionless (without .xxx)
I have a file used by numerous facilties. I would like code to track any time a protected sheet has been unprotected / protected. I would also like the stamp to show the user data if that can be done.
I trying to figure a formula to convert time on a phone call eg. 01:01:21 into total seconds (3661). Phonecalls will never be more than an hour long but the spreadsheet I will be supplied with (havn't got it yet!) will display them in the 00:00:00 format.
I am trying to convert a number of "hours" "minutes" and "seconds", to give me a result in seconds only, in order that I may then financially cost the amount of time spent on a task. (A time and motion costing exercise)
Example:
1119:48:06 Represents 1119hours:48minutes:36seconds spent on a task.
I can manually convert this to 4031286 seconds, but it just takes too much time !!!(sorry!)
The data is extracted from a database which is unable to split the hours,minutes,seconds into seperate fields, which prevents me from using three cells in excel.
Is there a way to make a macro delay for like 30 seconds before it does its thing? What I'm trying to do is have something turned off before the spreadsheet is saved, and after the spreadsheet is saved have a macro that runs 30 seconds afterwards to turn said feature back on. On error this macro will simply terminate.
I want to trigger a macro that refreshes a pivot table but I only want to trigger the macro after 15 seconds. The reason is that I am pulling the source data from access mdb so I want only to refresh the data once the data is pulled.
i have a caclulate event that I want to run constantly while the workbook is open. How can I do this? below is the code for the calculate event:
Private Sub worksheet_calculate() If Sheets("Messing Around"). Range("e14") <> changeval Then Range("e15:e100").ClearContents If ActiveSheet.Range("E14").Value = "T1/E1" Then Sheets("Tables").Range("J2:J79").Copy Sheets("Messing Around").Range("e15").Activate ActiveCell.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues ElseIf ActiveSheet.Range("E14").Value = "DS3/E3" Then Sheets("Tables").Range("k2:k79").Copy................
I have a fairly simple macro that takes a few seconds on my XP-computer with Excel 2003 but takes several minutes on my Vista-computer with Excel 2007.
The XP-PC has 2GB memory, the Vista-PC only 1GB, but it's hard to believe it's only that. Is Excel 2007 so much slower than 2003?
The macro makes quite extensive use of the .rows(Rownr).Delete method. Is the fact that 2007 has 1 million rows against the 65536 of 2003 the culprit? It has to shift much more data up when deleting a row, no?
I am looking for a function to convert time given by my computer (Local time) in EST (Eastern Standard Time). We are several users of a same file (with timestamp macros) and all time need to be aligned to one time zone (EST), even if all users are working in different time zone (EST, CST and IST).
Is there a way to put a time stamp with the users name into an adjacent cell when a cell is updated?
In case that didn’t make sense I will tell you what I need this for. We are creating new time cards that require both employee and manager approval on them. We have many remote employees and getting their signature can be a pain. If they could click a button on the time card that stamped their name and time that would be ideal. They would then send to their manager they would click to verify the time and it would stamp it as well.
I would like to set up an Excel spreadsheet for conducting a time and motion study in a workplace setting where someone follows an employee around to document how much time is spent on a variety of activities. Since the person would have a mobile tablet PC to walk around with and track the data, I would like to capture 3 fields of information:
1) Category of function being performed 2) Start date/time of function 3) Stop date/time of function
For #1, I would like to have a drop down box that appears in each row of Column A with a predefined list (i.e. Activity A, Activity B, Activity C, etc.). For #2 and #3, I would like to create a macro that "timestamps" the current date/time when a blank cell is "clicked".
Whenever I type into field D2 it populates current date and time in field A2 and down the A column as I write into current D columns. The next step I would like to do in which he was able to figure out so far is how to lock in the date and time after something has been typed into D2. If I make any changes to the D2 field it updates the date and time, which I dont want to happen.
Is there anyway to create a timestamp based of a cell linked to a Listbox? For example if the linked cell is in cell C8, cell D12 would stamp the time.
I have A column that has values 0 or 1 (product active or not).
I want to add into B column date when change occured (from 1 to 0) but simple NOW or DATE is not working becouse program works so that it erases/resets all values and calculetes tham again wich resets mine date also.
How can i remamber value 0 and if it stays the same after reset that date in corresponding cell in B column stays the same and not resets.
Maybe some form of check is there date in B before chacking status in A?
I have a problem similar to Ozone64's posting of 4/23 that I am trying to generate automatic time/datestamps in a cell whenever a value is entered in an adjacent cell. I am currently using the function =IF(A3"",NOW()) but the problem is when data is entered in subsequent rows the previous timestamp is overridden with the new timestamp. Thus at the conclusion of data entry every row ends up with the same date/timestamp as the final entry.
I am attempting to enter Timestamp data from a movie in this format:
minute:second.millisecond
When I enter a frame timestamp of 18 minutes, 42 seconds, and 5 milliseconds, excel auto formats this data to 12:18:43AM.
This is not what I want. I have attempted multiple types of cell formats in an attempt to enter this data without auto formatting. One requirement for the format is the ability to subtract two of the times for a change in time measurement. I have tried every setting under the "Time" format list, as well as custom formats, which fail to subtract.
I've seen a lot of timestamp solutions but none of them fit my needs. Also my VBE skills are not good enough to create this. So here's the problem:
I've got 3 columns E,F en H. H contains a validation list with 3 options OK, NOK and OPEN.
If H is NOK I would like E and F to be blank. If H is OPEN I would like E to contain a start date wich doesn't update. If H is OK I would like F to contain an end date wich doesn't update.
I am trying to set up my doc. so that when i double click with in columns (B&C)) the current time get inserted in a 24hr format. I am also trying to do the same thing but with a date formula (column A, also with the double click feature).
I'm trying to make a directory whenever the macro runs that includes a timestamp. File names cannot include "/" or special characters, so I'm trying to change the format. However, even though NumberFormat changes it, excel still recognizes the date as having mm/dd/yyyy etc. so the directory cannot be made.
How to modify this code so that I select only one column triggers the time stamp update? For e.g. if i make any changes in column A, the date stamp is updated in the corresponding cell in column B. Basically, I am trying to narrow down to only one cell in the row, but it should work for any row in the sheet.
