I seek advice on using the value of NOW() as a record ID in an address book program. Question #1: Do Excel developers often use a record ID? Question #2: What record ID schemes are fequently employed besides date/time? I have decided to create an Excel address book as an exercise to increase my knowledge of VBA, and also as a useful application for work.
I realize that a record ID is not essential in Excel in the way that it is essential in Access, but I feel the need to have some unique ID associated with each address, so that I may have different worksheets, with data related to a given Contact, sort and manipulate it, if necessary, but have the record ID as a way to restore the relationship of rows to a given Contact, and also, as a handy way to examine the data in the date/time sequence in which it was entered. I have experimented with the following code, to assure myself that I can access the number returned by the NOW() function, manipulate it as a string, and format in various ways if necessary.
Dim n As Double n = Now() sn = Str(n) p = InStr(sn, ".") first = Left(sn, (p - 1)) l = Len(sn) d = l - p S = Mid(sn, (p + 1), d)....................
This problem seemed to revolve around "digital signing" with further macro changes done from a different machine (without the proper certificate). Excel warns of the problem and then "unsigns" the project.
I've got a problem with spreadsheets that I've been working on. Now, when I tell it to record a macro, I get the macro name, shortcut assignment dialog box and then an error "Unable to record." After "Ok"ing that dialog box, the normal recording macro dialog comes up. Also, lo and behold, there will not be a macro recorded.
I've got no protected cells or sheets and it doesn't matter what security level is set. It is a "signed" macro but I can take off the signature and still have the problem. I checked for "Help - About" for deactivated modules and there was none.
I am creating an asset management sheet. For the formula I am trying to work out there uses 3 fields : ID, start date, and end date.
What I want to do is be able to show if the ID is duplicated within another record with an overlapping date. So an item is flagged if it is in the list within the same dates as another record. I tried a few countif formulas but with no success.. I may just be approaching the problem incorrectly though.
I have a workbook that has a list of customer numbers in column A and the type of customer they are in column B. Now, there is a different worksheet for each customer type (about 12) that summarizes data for me in a printable format. Right now, if I wanted customer number 1's data, I would go to his corresponding customer type worksheet and type in his customer number in cell P1 and the sheet would update with his data, and then I'd PDF the worksheet.
Is there any way I could get a macros that would create a folder of PDF's for every customer number rather than going one by one?? Basically the macros would have to look up the customer number and customer type, go to the corresponding customer type worksheet, and print it to PDF for every customer. Is this doable?
I am looking to create a macro that will create a new sheet when data is added on a summary sheet. Example.
1. Summary sheet called "Variations" contains columns that will contain the information needed for new sheet (Columns A to D)
2. When data is entered on "Variations" sheet: Column B, then macro automatically creates new sheet renamed to e.g. VO1 (Number used on "Variations" tab) and is a copy of "Master" tab.
3. Data entered in Column A to D on "Variations" tab is automatically entered onto new sheet created (e.g VO1). Shown is blue on attached file. Additional data is updated on "VO1" sheet and this then links back to "Variations" tab
l would like to record a macro that allows one finds a 'key word' in sheet 1 ,then the macro should copy the entire raw of the search results to worksheet 2 .The macro should enable the user to have as many searches as possible but pasting all the results on one worksheet.
When I choose to record a macro, the window to name the macro opens and allows me to name it, but when I close it, I can see it is recording at the bottom of the sheet, but the stop button with the relative/absolute button has disappeared. I can't change relative/absolute. How can I get the button back on the page?
I'm trying to determine the speed of a macro. I searched and have had no luck. recently with some help I reduced my macro speed from minutes to seconds and I was wondering is there code out there that I can record the speed of an existing macro.
I have a table where I have dropdown menu for selecting data and a vlookup for filling other fields.However, I would like to create totals at the bottom of the sheet. But I dont know how many rows I will need because the data to this sheet are added from another sheet in the workbook. I would like to create something like this :
No. Name Weight Amount Total Weight Unit Price Total Price 1. Product 30 2 60 100 200 then I will not have no. 2 , but add new record button that will create a new row and will copy the dropdown menu and the Vlookup function so the format will be the same for product no.2 as it is for the product no.1 ... thus I will not have any unfilled rows in the table and after the last row there will be a totals row that will sum up the whole table... How to do that "add new record button" so that in the table will show up only those rows, that are actually filled with data?
I am trying to have a macro send the data from sheet 2 to sheet 3, record the data then next time shift down a row and enter the new data below and below every time new data is entered.
I have recorded a macro, but I am stuck with the recording the data and then returning to a new row.
I have already looked at many of the posts but I have not found the solution that I am looking for. I am familiar with VB and the NOW function.
I am trying to create a macro that will reference a cell and place a static date and time next to the cell. I want this date and time to only change when the checkbox is clicked.
I have a checkbox in E11 that is linked to F11, I would like to have G11 record the date and time that the checkbox is clicked. I have already tried the following.
I have a document that I need to track all changes to. I have a macro running perfectly right now that tracks all of the content changes to the form. What I am wondering is if I can add something that would also record when a copy is printed and the user that makes the copy. Here is the code I have right now:
Code: Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range) Application.ScreenUpdating = False Sheets("Revisions").Unprotect Password:="Hm72K9" If ActiveSheet.Name = "Revisions" Then Exit Sub Application.EnableEvents = False
Complete List of People in Column AA. Partial lists of these same people in columns A, C, E, G, I, K. Goal: Once I put that persons name in A, C, E, G, I, K, I would like it to be deleted from Column AA.
This recorded macro inserts a line below the cell that active when it was first recorded. It then copies some text and a formula to the line that was created.
Sub Macro11() Rows("10:10").Select Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove Range("A9:E9").Select Selection.Copy Range("A10").Select ActiveSheet.Paste Range("H9").Select Application.CutCopyMode = False Selection.Copy Range("H10").Select ActiveSheet.Paste Range("F9").Select End Sub
If you run this macro again at a different cell position, it goes back to the first starting position and repeats the same action. I see that the cell references from the first recording are fixed in the macro. I can't figure out how to make the macro use the new current cell position as the starting positiion when it runs again.
I have designed a project sheet that shows Project,tasts,start & end dates, with cells being highlighted via conditional formatting using the between format, What i would like is for the macro that i recorded to enter the data(which is c/f to a new row, At present when i run macro it reruns on the same row,the filldwn method dosn't work either, For design layout i have based it on microsoft project
I am using the following track changes code on a worksheet;
Track/Report User Changes on an Excel Worksheet/Workbook
in the this Workbook. It involves two different VBA solutions I had gotten form Ozgrid. The top part is VBA code to track changes in the workbook, THe instructions are to put the statement at the top of the module which I did. When it gets to the second VBA code {Starting with Option Explicit} below, I get an error message that "Only comments may appear after End Sub, End Function or End Property.
Also, I would like to get the VBA course offered on this website, any comments?
Dim vOldVal 'Must be at top of module
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range) Dim bBold As Boolean
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub On Error Resume Next
I have a macro which changes a worksheet based on each record from another sheet, it then copies the worksheet. I.e. a new sheet is created for each record simpy with...
I would like to create a macro in my personal macro workbook that will uncheck specific "check boxes". I tried recording this process, but had no luck. Is there a trick to recording actions performed on objects, or some other trick to make this work that I'm not aware of?
I recently installed Excel 2007, and have shared others' joy in searching for things on the ribbon. I tried to record a macro to insert an autoshape. Excel creates the macro, but drawing the autoshape is not recorded. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious ...
I am trying to come up with a way, and do not know if it is possible. In the attached spreadsheet, I am looking to find a way that will automatically filter a group of records from the f column (all CC, all 2ndR, all NA) then calculate the information in in Columns G and H and place it in the appropriate box in D-21 through D 37. Example. I want all the rows that ONLY have CC in Column F. Then take the information from those records in Column G and column H. I want the sum of Column G in D21/2 and Column H in D23/4. I
I have a list of times in a column. I'm looking for a macro that will go down the column and record all the times that lay between 5 and 7am, 1 and 3pm (13:00-15:00) and 8 and 10pm (20:00-22:00)
I am working on using an excel workbook as part of a roll playing game and I am trying to record a macro and then put that in a command button which uses the randbetween, multiple if statements and multiple vlookup functions. I have successfully done similar things by just recording a macro and then pasting that into the VB editor. However this time I get a unable to record macro after putting the formula in the selected cell. I have tried copy and paste and just typing the formula with the same results.
Upon executing the formula I then want it to copy and paste special- values the result.
I'm assuming I have to put the VB code in manually but when I tried to do the formula I got a syntax error.
The worksheet I am working on is named new and I've included the formula in the a text box. I would like the result to show in J12 and be triggered by pressing the cmnbutton in k12.
I'm trying to record a macro which will hide and unhide columns K:P of data, but I only want one button. I know how to do this to produce one button for hiding and another for unhiding...but I want one combined button.
How to use vba, how I do this via the macro recorder?
