Upon opening the worksheet, I'd like to have a startup macro reassign a macro to a button that is already created. We have an issue with two buttons in a custom toolbar that for some reason default to an old (nonexistent) version of the file when looking for the assigned macro. If I could get an opening macro to automatically reassign those buttons to the proper macros inside the current file, then we wouldn't have to have all possible users login and reassign and resave, which seems to be the only solution at the moment.
Reassigning a macro to a button doesn't show up when doing "Record Macro", and if creating a new button and assigning correct macro while "Record Macro" is occurring, VisualBasic only shows the creation of the button and not the assignment of the macro.
I've recorded a macro that copies an entire tab into a new spreadsheet then goes on the copy and paste information from one tab to another.
When I run the macro from the Tools>Macros menu it works perfectly. But when I copy the code and add it to that of a button it fails and posts the following error: Run-time error '1001': Select method of Range class failed.
The first attachement shows the code for the macro as it is alone, and the second shows how I simply copied and pasted it into the 'view code' window of the button.
Needless to say I'm a beginner at macros and only every record them, I can usually make stuff work that way but this has me stumped!
I have a long complicated macro that processes a ton of data and gives the output in a new sheet. I then want to create new buttons (or some sort of user clickable triggers) on this new sheet that runs another macro.
I have got the actual adding of buttons in the sheet working, but I can't find a way to automatically assign macros to newly generated buttons during runtime. Is this even possible (or are there any clever tricks I could use to get around this?)
Context: I have a spreadsheet that contains a list of employee names and their certifications. I want to be able to assign a button to each employee in column B with a macro that is able to zip files from a folder that contains that employees name.
The following code assigns buttons to each employee in column B. At the moment the code I have is able to assign the macro "Zip" to each button.
[Code] .....
Now, this Zip macro is able to zip the file for the employee "Anthony Tran". However I need it to be able to recognise which employee's button I've clicked and search the same files as above except with that employees name instead of "Anthony Tran".
If it makes things easier, the code for creating buttons for each employee is able to name that button as the employees name that it represents.
This is probably really straight forward but cant see why it happens, the following macro works fine when called by a button created by the form toolbar but doesnt when called by a command button, get the runtime error 1004, "select method of range class failed"

I have data that I am importing regularly and the number of lines of the data is highly variable. I have written code that first inserts a column of data I need for my Y axis, then the second part of my code should select the my X and Y range and change the graph accordingly then thirdly modify the limits of the major axis to the nearest largest multiple of 10 of the data. My sections 2 and three are not working properly.
Here is my code: Sub Tip_Elevation() ' ' Tip_Elevation Macro ' Insert Tip Elevation Depth (Ft) ' ' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+I 'Insert column needed for Y Axis Cells.find(What:="Test").Activate
I want to have every sheet with a "refresh" button, as all the sheets are populated with Webquery information, I want people to be able to go into the sheet and refresh the data.
What I need is a macro that will pull data from the sheet and insert it into a URL for example.
The site I'm pulling from looks like this in the macro:
I am new to insert buttons and I i figured how to drag one and put it in the toolbar at the top to perform a macro when it is pushed. I saw somewhere where someone had a button in say A1 that performed a certain macro and then one in A2 that performed another macro. how to insert a button in both of these cells that I can link to a macro to insert data into a specified cell?
I have button on a worksheet that has a macro assigned. I need other people to see the workbook, but I want the button DISABLED for them to click, but able for me to click it. I have written in the macro to protect the sheet once it has run, but the button is still pressable.
I need a thrid party program to be able to run excel and word macros from my desk top? I can build the buttons but I would like to make a tool bar that I can place on my desk top, I have about 15 macros I use all the time.
I just had a second thought well not mine my daughter, she suggested that I use a gaming keyboard which already has extra keys. She has one, it has 15 extra keys. Has anyone ever tried to program macros to something like this? I still prefer having a tool bar on my desk top but it is a creative idea. I just don't know if Excel or Word would recognize the extra keys.
I have a workbook with approximately 260 sheets. These sheets contain financial information. They have to be sorted according to the division within the company, with a total page for each financial division.
I have a code on a blank tab that prints the sheets based on a value in cell B3 on each sheet. (i.e. "VB", "WB", which are initials of our district managers.)
it's possible to use this macro code in a toggle to perform this action when it's true and when the toggle is click again it can undo it.
This macro does lookups and finds the max on sets of value when it is run and i was wondering if by clicking the button again it can undo what it placed in the cells.
I have created a command button from the Excel 2003 from the Macros toolbar that I placed on my worksheet. I want to use this button to activate an existing macro. Currently I have no code entered for this button and the button when clicked on behaves as an object to be edited, moved, etc. How should I proceed?
I have an excel spreadsheet with two tabs.One called "menu" and one called "website" I want to put a button in tab one (menu) and assign a macro. I need the macro to run/output in sheet 2 (website) not in sheet 1 where the button is placed.
No matter what I do I can't figure it out. The macro always runs in the same sheet as the button.
Sub AddFormsButton() Dim sShape As Shape With Range("J1") Set sShape = Sheets("Exposure Country").Shapes.AddFormControl _ (Type:=xlButtonControl, Left:=.Left, Top:=.Top, Width:=96, Height:=20) End With
[Code]...
Which is called within another macro and inserts a button onto sheet Exposure Country, after which the macro it was called from then stops (i.e. End Sub)
What I would like is that when the user clicks on this button it selects another sheet but I'm not sure how to achieve this.
I'm using below code to add number of buttons and assigning macro to all of them at run time.
Code: j = 1 Do ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(2.25, Top, 66.5, 14).Select With Selection .Caption = "play " & j .Font.Size = 8 .onselection = "mymacroname" End With Top = Top + 15 j = j + 1 Loop Until j = I
What do i write in macro to know the caption of the button being clicked?
Currently have a sheet that allows me to pick an item from a drop down list and show me the code for that item.
I already the macros for adding an item to the list via a add button. All this dose is if the item is not on the list i can simply be added into the two boxs and then click the add button.
What i want to do is add a delete button. This is in case someone enters the values wrong then can select it in the list and then click the delete button.
So all i want is to look at the item cell, match to a range and delete the row.
I have added a link to what it looks like as well as the coding i have used so far. [URL] ........
Sub Add_to_list() ' ' Add_to_list Macro ' Adds new item to list ' ' Range("F10").Select Selection.Copy
I have many workbooks that I receive from clients I run various Excel VBA macros on depending on which workbook it is, and I need to automate all of this so that anyone can run an simple .exe user interface designed in VB 2005 Express Edition where when that interface is run, a window opens on the destop with a collection of buttons, when the user clicks one of the buttons, Excel launches, loads the appropriate file and runs an already-existing appropriate Excel macro, then some file maintenance is done, like moving a group of files from one subdirectory to another.
While practicing writing macros and studying the VBA code, I decided to add a button to run the macro, something I've done many times in the past. But the option to associate the new button with any macro doesn't seem to be available.
I need to know how to make a box that says "print" which will print out pages in my excel file... What I am picturing is this:
Tab 1 Y Tab 2 Y Tab 3 N ... etc.
Making a table as the one above, and depending on whether I input "Y" or "N", it will print that tab...
i've seen this in some financial models and would like to incorporate it into my model. If you could offer some detailed help, it would be greatly appreciated. Please note that I am a complete beginner and would need to be taken step-by-step.
i am after a macro that will print multiple sheets in hit of a button, the ranges are from A1 to the last row of the data. Now there are sometimes cells which have no data, so was not sure if this will be a problem. At momenet it take me at least couple of minutes to print everything out.
On a spreadsheet I have a button which has a macro assigned to it, for some reason when I protect the worksheet then then click the button, nothing happens (or though I do get egg timer for a second). but when I unprotect the shet its fine.
ive used this type of method many tiems, and cant see what the problem is, have tried all combination of locking and unlocking cells in and around etc, but nothign changes it.
