View 1 RepliesI recently took a macros my friend did and adjusted it so it would work for my problem.
It works fine but there is one thing i don't understand about it.
The initial problem was that i needed a macros that could copy a range and paste it 1 cell space to the left and then delete the last cell of that range, so it would look something like this:
FROM THIS:
HIJKLM2NIVEL
3
21
TO THIS:
HIJKLM2NIVEL3
21
so this is the macros i am using which works perfectly:
Range("H1").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Selection.Offset(0, 2).Select
RC = Cells(Columns.Count, ActiveCell.Row).End(xlUp).Column
Range(ActiveCell, Cells(RC, ActiveCell.Row + 11)).Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 4).Select
Selection.ClearContents
What i don't understand is why i have to use the +11 in order for it to move 4 spaces to the right.
If i have a macro, is it possible to have that macro work on a specific sheet and not the whole work book.
I.e I have two sheets one where you can insert a line and other where you cant insert a line, at the moment i can insert in both sheets.
I've been trying to create an excel macro to calculate shortest route path using floyd algorithm..
Problem is, i can't figure out why this macro won't work with decimal numbers..
I'm pretty sure there's a VERY simple explanation for this..
Probably has something to do with excel's formating
See the attachment and press Run button, it won't produce the correct result, but if if you multiply all the numbers in "input" sheet by 100.
I need to lock the macros in spreadsheets at work.
If I go to Developer>Macros I can edit any of the macros.
So to protect them I went to Visual Basic>Tools>VBA Project
What I don't understand is that there is already a password there.
How it is possible that I can edit any of the macros under Developer>Macros when there is a password which I haven't entered under Visual Basic>Tools>VBA Project
My dad wrote me a VB programme to save me time entering repetitive data into an excel template for my business. At first it didnt work untilll i reduced security to low. Sice then I fried my computer and have had to reformat it with a diffirent version of windows, vista service pack 3. Now even on low security it doesnt work.
The little button in the worksheet to make the macro happen isnt visible or doesnt exist.
I wondered if I could pick your brains and hopefully get some answers to my problem. I have recently been using the Personal.xls worksheet to make all my Macros available to all open workbooks so that I don't have to cut and paste Macros each time I wanted to use them.
Now I know you sometimes have to make certain adjustments to Macros in order to make them work globally. I wondered if I could find out how to amend the codes below to make them work properly. Thanks.
The first code Macro below deletes all worksheets in a workbook except for the currently active sheet. However it no longer works.

View 11 Replies View Related1. I've written a few macros using MSExcel 2003 VBA that I've tested successfully on Office 2007, but with 2003 workbooks only. Since the filename extensions for Excel 2007 workbooks are different from those for 2003, what changes are required in my vba code to ensure that it will work with 2007 workbooks too?
2. Will changes to vba code be necessary even for changes in the operating system (e.g. Vista / Windows 7)? I have worked with my vba codes on Win XP only.
I have written a 2007 workbook which contains 4 simple macros. One of the macros automates the process of saving the print range as a .pdf file. It works fine on my pc but when I send it to others to use, when they try the macros, they all return a 1004 runtime error.

I've created a spreadsheet at work that has two summary tabs which contain hyperlinks to around 30 separate sheet tabs.
On each sheet tab there is a list of unique values in column A (and other information relating to each value in columns B to D which are repeated for more than one unique value). In column E, users enter a test script name against each unique value they wish to 'reserve', and the macro picks out the unique test script names and via the COUNTIF formula counts the frequency of each test script name for each of the different values in column B.
My problem is that the macro seems to work fine if the workbook is not shared, but errors if the workbook is saved as shared. The error is 'Run time error 1004 - Unable to select the MergeCells property of the Range class'.
Here is the macro code:
Sub Get_Policies_Per_Script(updCol As Long, ShtName As String)
Dim rowctr As Long
Dim tgtrow As Long
Const ppsformula As String = "=COUNTIFS($A$3:$A$65000,I$24,$E$3:$E$65000,$G"
If updCol = 5 Then 'test name column has been modified

When you enable macros the sheets 2, 3, 4 ect are visible but if you disable macros, you only see sheet 1 and and you can place a message on the sheet saying this will only work with macros enabled.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis situation is as follows. I have a worksheet with 12 sheets. One sheet per month which is used to show monthly cost expenses for certain categories.
I have a budget category, a paid this month, a paid previous months and paid year to date. I suppose I can take the paid previous months out if I can get this to work but I need to calculate one of those cells (prev months or ytd) to calculate and sum the previous months and then tack on the current month.
Previously I have had these categories and used =SUM(Month:Month!A1)
Like --- > =SUM(Jan:Nov!C10)
This works and all I have to do is add on the current month to paid prev and get a ytd but this also means that I have to rewrite the formuals concurent with the noted month. Is there a way that I can make one sheet as a base and then just make 11 copies with a formula that will sum all previous worksheets to the start at a certain cell reference. So say sum all A1's on all worksheets before the one that is currently in use say for example Dec.
If I need to rewrite them that is find but I figured there should be an easier way to do this so I would not have to rewrite each month individually and then copy the formuals through that sheet.
i need to work out a formula for my spreadsheet which I use to work out cutting lists for timber frames. I need it to work out if the width of a job is for eg 2400mm i need to work out how many timber studs I need so the space between each stud is between 400mm and 500mm and this will need to work for a range of different sizes of frames. I have it written at the moment and it just devides the width by 400 and gives me a amount of studs but it would work much better if it could space them between 400 & 500.

I have in work book #1 (7) sheets mon to fri + complete week + a sheet where all job numbers are collected.
From monday to friday the workmen log their times as a start time and a end time.

And the on the complete week sheet recalculated as a total time worked per week.
I have a niggling problem with a worksheet when using Hlookup to return a value from a range of cells it is coming up with blanks when there is data in the range.
There is only ever one row cell containing text in the specified range and i need this to be returned in another column.
The problem with the hlookup formula i am using is that it will not work if cells contain formulas and in the range i am working on all cells contain formulas.
I know this formula works if there is text without a formula in the cell range, as soon as it hits a cell with a formula though it won't work.
I have attached the sheet : Book4.xlsx
From j138 there is one cell with text i wish to be returned in column q for each row. E.g., in q1 the first cell text returned would be khawatim. q2 should contain cantor etc etc.
On the attached form, for row 3 information is manually inputed into C3 and E3 to J3; K3 then looks at the max value inputed in E3 to J3 and alters L3 accordingly.
Row 4 is my attempt to automate the process. I am trying to alter the sheet so that the information added into C4 updates E4 to J4 automatically and then K4 looks at the max value and alters L4 accordingly.
Since I added the formula to H4 to look for info in C4, the max formula in K4 no longer works, as such L4 will not update.
I have renamed some cells to custom names eg. renamed cell A1 to FLIGHT and B1 to FLIGHT2.
When I apply a filter to the columns and autofilter, the renamed cell now refers to a different cell! ie. FLIGHT no longer has the same text value in it
This also only happens when I autofilter by alphabetically or highest/lowest values
I have a column for "Comments". Is there a way to make each cell work more like a word document? ie. paragraph formation, tabs, etc.

I had to change my code vales from apha to numeric. I enclosed the attached spreadsheet and highlighted the cells in yellow that are in my formula that don't work any longer. I was hoping someone may have a solution.

How do I get a function to check cells on multiple work sheets.
For example this function searches for the word "hello" in cells, A1 to A50 and then adds up the number in the corresponding cells where "hello" is found from C1 to C50:
=SUMIF($A$1:$A$50,"=hello",$C$1:$C$50)
Two questions:
01) How do I search the same cells in two further work sheet, "Sheet2" & "Sheet3"?
02) Is there a way to search every cell in an entire work sheet?
I have a list of authors for about 20 papers. These Papers are listed in sequential order from 1999 to 2005.
I want to track the number of similar authors from paper to paper. Thus I am attempting to create a macros that has the Papers listed sequentially when they were published and the authors for each paper, with the authors name in each cell. I want to create a macros that will compare the Author Cells associated to lets say the Fifth Paper with the Author Cells for the Fourth Paper (the Previous Paper). So that if certain authors come up in the Fifth Paper that were in the Fourth Paper, the # will be noted.
I also want this macros to compare all the Author Cells that have appeared in the past with that of the author cells of the (N) paper excluding the (N-1) Paper, and just note the # of occurences. So using the previous example. If we are talking about the Fifth Paper, it will look through Papers #1-#3 for any matching keywords and note the number.
I have attached my spreadsheet to make it more clearer. For some papers there are more than 20 authors as well just to note.
I've got a couple of macros that are allowed to be executed ONLY when specific ranges/cells are selected. Is there a way to make a msg box pop up saying: "Wrong Area Selected" etc. if the User selects a prohibited range or cell and there tries to run the macros?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI imported a picture and changed the properties thus:
Lock aspect ratio is set.
Move and size with cells is set.
If I resize the picture itself, the aspect ratio is maintained - good. However, if I make the column narrower, the pictures width changes, the height remains the same and it acquires a new locked aspect ratio - bad.
why I must update all cells, with formulas, manually after I do something with the workbook. I'll try to make an example.
If I make a macro that enters =sum("F1:F10") it says #NAME? when its done, but if I dubbleclick it and press enter it calculates the cell like its supposed to. I've tried to press alt + ctrl + F9, but that doesnt work.
Is there a command to dubbelclick the entire workbook and then press enter if you know what I mean?
A spreadsheet that can be used to enter the hours worked by staff each week and then calculate their Gross pay, Tax and Net Pay. THe basic spreadsheet has been created, however it will require aq macro to copy the Week ending, Hours worked, gross pay, tax and net pay columns to the first empty cell in row 1, clear the entries in the week ending and hours worked columns that have just been created and then hide the give columns to the left. which show the data for the previous week.
I know this sounds confusing but ive supplied the file to help you understand. The problem is that we can get the macro to hide the previous five entries and copy 5 new ones in their place but it only does this once. Just about our whole class is having trouble with this as we're not very advanced in macros.
I have an Excel 2003 program that contains macros. One of the macros hides certain command bars and disables the worksheet menu bar. On close the opposite is true. The problem is, if a user uses the disable macros when opening then the worksheet menu bar and other command bars are still available. I would like to hide all of the data sheets and display another sheet that would normally be hidden displaying a message that the macros have to be enabled for the program to work correctly if disable macros is chosen. When the enable macros are used I would like the Error page to be hidden.

If I remove the function the VBA works fine, if I put it back to do what it needs to do, the VBA does absolutely nothing. Any ideas on how to make things work together? Here is the custom function and it is in a module where the VBA that isn't working is in the main Workbook page, but it is a Worksheet Change VBA affecting the same page as the custom function.
