Macro To File Values & Formats, & Alter Protection
Dec 24, 2008
I have a sheet used to process sales orders - about 500 orders per month x ~1.5Mb each. I want to save them as smaller files.
The sheets to save are full of vlookups linked to external sheets and tabs, other formulas, and macros - most of which do not need saving when the sales order is filed. There are lots of merged cells too.
I must save:
1. Cell values
2. Cell formats incl merged cells, borders, colour, font etc.
3. The row and column sizes
4. Print set ups - print area, margins, page setup, header footer etc - (Everything needed to reprint to same as original)
I think I need a "File save as" style Macro which opens a dialogue box for the user to nominate the destination folder (& allows the user to browse for it), and a new file name.
The original file name is "Job Sheet - Omlaw.xls"
The tab/sheet to save is "Front Sheet"
(There are two other tabs - neither of which need saving.)
All cells to be changed to "locked".
The sheet must be password protected in Excel. User to enter it - or not.
The saved file should be "write protected" if possible?

I did this macro which formats five worksheets in the same file. I saved this macro as a PERSONAL.XLS file. Last night when i open new files to re-run this macro it was working fine excep one of the worksheets wasnt formatting properly....the macro on this sheet wasnt working for some reason.
Then this morning when i opened new files and tried the macros again it wouldnt work at all. And there is no reacord of them I did five of them and they are all gone! I saved them so why did they disappear! I thought that when you saved a macro as a PERSONAL file that you could open new files and re-run that macro again and again????

I was wondering if it is possible to protect a macro to be used only if a *.txt (for example) file wit some certain text is available. like a key to run hidden in a text. The file is situated in a company network, and i want to protect it from taking the file out of the company. I can do it to check for presence of a file - if the file is not available - the macro exits. but if someone break the password that is protecting the code will see the blocking point immediately. this is why i want to use a key....

I have attempted to alter this example to simply check if the cells are not blank by replacing the "X" with "<>", but I get errors in the SMALL function--it looks like the IF statement is just returning an array with all of the values set to FALSE, and none of the values in the array call out a location of the next filled cell.
How could you alter your fixed XLSX file to check for non-blank cells instead of "X" specifically?

I'm currently trying to create a rota timesheet which automatically takes shift patterns and deducts for unpaid breaks.
Basically if a shift is less than 4.5 hours long then no break is deducted
If the shift length is 4.5 - 6.5 hours then 15 mins are deducted
If the shift is longer than 6.5 hours then 30 mins are deducted.

The Macro Sub Match() works great, it is blazing fast.
It matches Col B on Sheet(1) to col B on Sheet(2) and returns the match from sheet(1) to sheet(2) by inserting a col D in sheet(2) and returning the match found to the row at which it was found in col B.
But I need to return not just the matching name from col B but the cells on the same matching row from col C, D, E, F, G, H ,I from sheet(1)
I do not understand to code well enough to do this
I am trying to replace this which is very slow
[Code] .....

I have a workbook with several tabs. One tab is named for the year eg 2014. Annually, I open the workbook, rename to the new year and rename the year tab to the next year eg 2014 to 2015. All the dynamic range names update as expected. Sheet2(2014) becomes Sheet2(2015). However, a line of macro code does not change and errors out because the year does not change.
Is there a way to dynamically modify the '2014' sheet reference to reflect the renaming of the year tab eg to 2015 or to reference a helper cell named YEAR?
The cell referenced above R332C1 is dynamic.
I have tried writing the above line many ways based on internet research but no success. I suspect I can use a LEN function to actually modify the line of code but I'm not sure its even possible to alter a macro dynamically to meet my needs here.

I have a workbook that has a lot of formulas in it that reference material stored on my local computer.
I need a macro that will copy all 42 tabs in to a new workbook book without all formulas, but saving all the formats have made. This would save me from every other day coping and pasting manually each of the pages.

I have a command that opens up another workbook. This workbook is sometimes open on another computer, so that the book opens up on my computer in write-protected mode (shows in the top of the window). Usually, when opening other books through the Excel functionality, a message box appears if the file is open and warns that the file is in use by another user. However, with the code I have at the moment, this is not the case when I try to open with my command. See code below:
Private Sub cmdOpenBook_Click()
'Open book
ChDir "I:DevelopmentSpecialUtvikling"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"I:DevelopmentSpecialUtviklingJointApp.xls"
End Sub
Is there any way of displaying a msgbox warning when opening another file through VBA?

The problem: I am getting values when doing a pastespecial for formulas and formats.
Manually copying and doing a pastespecial with the mouse gives me the correct results. Below is code I got from the forum, "here", and am running in a test workbook.
Option Explicit
Sub Test2()
'
Dim rSource As Excel. Range
Dim rDestination As Excel.Range
Set rSource = ActiveSheet.Range("A1:C1")
Set rDestination = ActiveSheet.Range("A1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0)
rSource.Copy
rDestination.Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, _
Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, _
Transpose:=False
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormulas, _
Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, _
Transpose:=False
Range("A1").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
valKill:
Set rSource = Nothing
Set rDestination = Nothing
Exit Sub
End Sub
Does anyone know why I am getting values? What do I need to do to make this paste only the formats and formulas?

For some reason the following code, when executed, pulls a named range from the source workbook (sProj_Name). I feel like I have used this exact same code before and not encountered this issue. This named range is linked to the source workbook so if I save the file and re-open I get the wonderful 'would you like to update links' pop up. I cant figure out why, when I am forcing it to paste only values and formats, it is picking up this named range. In addition the source workbook has way more than one named range, so why it doesn't pull all instead of just one is a mystery to me as well.
VB:
With Workbooks(sProj_Name).Worksheets(2)
.Cells.Copy
Sheet2.Cells(1, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Sheet2.Cells(1, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlFormats
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End With

my macro pulls download in on sheet1. On sheet2 it makes a pivottable of it with horizontally displayed the suppliers and vertically the codes of products. This is of course dynamic (one month it may contain 10 suppliers + 8 products, other month 15 suppliers + 20 products). On sheet3 is the (static) lay-out of all suppliers and all products. Now, what I want is that all fields <> empty (or zero) from the pivot table are to be copied and placed in sheet3, the 'report' I have to fill in. index and match won't do the job I think.

I would like to link a macro to a button on the active sheet, that saves the active sheet In a New Workbook, with Format And Values Only. Preferably saved in the same location as the origonal workbook. This is my main goal.
If possible I would like the new workbook to be named from a chosen cell (E19) on the active sheet with date added.

I know how to protect VB code (e.g. Protection tab of VBAProjectProperties), however I would like to know how to embed code to stop the user from accessing the Macro (via Run Macro).
I understand you can do this by adding "Private" to the subroutine, however, is there some code I could add into a macro/connecting to a button, that would enable the user to protect the sheet (without needing to manually type private within the Module subroutine)?

1. In whatever cell is selected when the macro is run, enter a new row.
2. Copy the information from the row directly above the new row and paste (values, formulas, formats, etc) into the new row.
3. Return to column P in the new row, i.e if the new row is row 11, then return to P11, for row 12 return to P12, etc.
I have tried recording the macro but because it is hard coded to specific rows, its not working. I have attached a sample copy of the sheet (had to zip due to the size of the file).

I use Excel 2003 and am trying to put together an automatic macro to apply five conditional formats to a range of cells. The range is H3:H21 and is unnamed. The values in the cells are derived from formulas. These are the conditional formats:
If there is a 1, the background color should be gold/44 and the font should be bolded.
If there is a 2, the background color should be gray 25%/15 and the font should be bolded.
If there is a 3, the background color should be dark yellow/12 and the font should be bolded.
If there is an e, the background color should be red/3 and the font should be bolded.
If there is a 0 (zero), the font should be white/2.
From what I understand, I need to put the code in by using the "View Code" option in the tab sub-menu.

I have a button that executes a macro which basically activates a worksheet. I wish to put a password which would allow only certain users to access this worksheet through this button.

My macros are set up with hard-coded passwords to protect and unprotect the sheets where they run.
But I need a way for the macros to refer to a user-provided password without having the user edit the macos themselves. The simplist approach (I suppose) would be to have a worksheet for this with a cell for the user to enter the password he/she wants. The macro protect/unprotect code would then look at the cell to get the password.

I've been using the attached spreadsheet to record daily sales for a while now, however, we've recently intorduced a new product and so I've had to add a new column to record daily sales of it.
On the spreadsheet is a 'New Week' button. Pressing this deletes all entries and moves the week numbers on by 1, so giving me a blank template each week. However, after the addition of the new column I'm now getting a bug error message. I've adjusted the code to take account of the new column but I'm still getting a bug error. When I press 'debug' it's highlighting something I have changed so I'm a little confused why I'm getting the bug error. Would someone have a look for me. I only seem to get the bug when there is protection on the sheet, I need protection. The password is PHUKET38

I receive sales data from my wholesalers every month and I continually have to format them to fit the structure of our in-house database. I wanted to design a macro that would automate this process. However, in some months, the files are recieved in a format that is a bit different from the wholesaler's usual format.
Is there such thing as an initial "litmus" test where I could try running the macro and if it doesn't fit the usual structure, there's an error code and I could do it by hand?

An in-house server spits out a whole lot of dates which I put into Excel and then use the dates for analysis (VBA code). The problem is that Excel is getting confused about the date formats. Sometimes the dates are formatted as dd/mm/yyyy and then the next line can randomly be mm/dd/yyyy. This totally messes up all changes of having data integrity.

While my excel file is protected, I want to have a functionality that allows user to modify on certain areas (of the file), such as below:
1. After the user select number of years at the drop-down list (Main sheet), rows and columns at other related sheets will shift and hide certain values which corresponded from the drop-down list (e.g. if user selects 3 years, then at other sheets, rows from year 1 till 3 will be displayed, and rows for year 4 and year 5 will be hidden).
2. Users can add rows for entering new data at a new line and delete rows for deleting data at the correspond line.
This PC is using the Excel version 2000. At Tools > Protection > Protect Sheet, the available options are 'Content's, 'Objects' and 'Scenarios'. In order to allow users modifying rows/columns (while the file is protected), options such as 'Format Rows' and 'Format Columns' must be checked. But these options are only available in the later versions I believed.
After I have done macro recording for the protection properties at Excel version 2003 (my sister's PC), this is what I got for the .....

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 need to find a way to insert a row (preferably at the bottom of an existing list) that mirrors the formatting of the row above.
I have had a stab at this (see attached example file) but my solution requires the user to select the correct activecell before it works correctly
