Instead of me saving a blank text file in the folder where the workbook resides, I would like it incorporated in the macro if possible. The name of the text file would be the value (string?) in cell B5.
Sub MakeTextFile()
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Dim txt As String, r As Range
Dim Answer As String, MyNote As String
MyNote = "Do you have an empty text file ready in the" & vbCrLf & _
"folder where this workbook resides?" & vbCrLf & _
"This text file needs to be named" & vbCrLf & _
"ABCD.TXT"..........................................................................
Excel 2010.I'm using this code to print user's accessing a file:
[Code] .....
However as someone could just delete the printed user log in the Sheet2, and also you can't use this if you protect the sheet, which defeats the purpose.
I want it to print the log into a separate file. Can I add in the file path/name to this code somewhere?
I am trying to print from excel a text file of a sheet data, creating the text file works but I need to have it encoded as UTF8?? Here is the code I have to print.
[Code] .....
Not sure if I need to add something to this or do I have to open the text file in Notepad and do the convert to UTF8 there?
I am currently working on sheet that i need to have print out user names and random passwords for as many people that entered on the sheet to a text file for email. I am running into a few issues.
1. When i try to print to a .txt file of the text from column G on sheet 'Review and Generate', all the text appears on one line. I have been trying to use the Char(10) to create line spaces, but that has not worked out for me. How do i get excel to export text from a cell to a .txt file with correct line spaces?
2. I have a random password function running on column F, however i am trying to get it only produce one result and not keep calculating random values. How do i have the cell calculate only once?
I am trying to have a file print in legal size if I have 56 lines filled in otherwise print in regular letter size. Does anyone know how to write this in VBA.
I have a workbook that has a single sheet in it, in cell G2 I want to insert a page number where if I print of multiple copies on the first sheet it will say 1, the second 2, the third 3 and so on and so forth.
I have an existing spreadsheet with a column of strings (actually VIN numbers). These numbers correllate to a bunch of text files, that can exist in one of three folders (UsernameDesktop1, 2, or 3) on my desktop. What I need the macro to do is:
1) get the filename from A2 (A1 is a heading row) 2) Find the appropriate text file in one of the three folders 3) Put the folder name into I2 4) Scan the text file for some strings, and copy some data that follows those strings into J2:O2 (I can handle programming this) 5) Close the text file 6) repeat above for the remainder of filenames (about 1800 files)
Got a slight problem; I am making a "worker-plan", where you should be able to write a name on one file and have it updated (removed) from the equivalent columns on another file automatically. Here's an example with two separate projects:
Project 1 before and after changes: Attachment 257366 Attachment 257367
Project 2 before and after changes: Attachment 257368 Attachment 257369
You can see here how I intended it to work. When one worker is moved from Project 1 to Project 2, that worker should also be removed from those weeks in Project 1. The previous worker from Project 2 should also be removed from those weeks (in Project 2).
Are there any formulas that can make this work automatically? All week numbers will belong to the same columns in all files.
Edit: There are 30 files that should be syncronized, not just two.. I could also gather all files into one file with sheets, instead of having seperate files.
I have some text in a cell, which is longer than the width that I am going to make that cell. When I don't wrap the text, it cuts it off at the end of the cell.
Since each column represents a day in a calendar, it would be incorrect to merge the two cells, but I don't want the text hidden, since I need to print the final product.
It is non-numeric text, and i've pasted --> values to remove formula issues.
I am going to make a subtitle file by excel. However, I found the after I save the excel into a text format and open it in the note pad, there are " marks on every time line. I would like to know how to make the time line as clean as say 00:12:23,100 instead of "00:12:23,100".
I have attached three excel files .....In the file called 'sampleBook1latest' I have a button called 'click here to clear a schedule' If I click that button and choose OR,start time and duration of a surgery then a schedule that is already created wil get cleared.....I have the total number of nurses and number of nurses used saved to the side of the sheet..... The total number of nurses at the side is read from another excel file called 'Input file for # of nurses'
Now the problem is that if clear a schedule then the number of nurses used is not getting updated at the side.....if I clear a schedule then the number of nurses at the side should also get updated....for example(If I create a schedule with 3 nurses and if only a total of 3 nurses are available then..... the used number of nurses for that specific time at the side will get updated to 3 from 0 and if I clear that schedule then the used nurses for that time should again become 0)....
The other problem is that if I schedule a surgery then all details of the surgery will be saved in another excel sheet called 'input file for patient details' so if I clear a schedule then all the details of that surgery saved in that excel sheet should also be cleared......
I need to make a workbook read only depending upon certain conditions that are apparent only on start up. As I cannot assign the ReadOnly property, is my only solution to trap the Save command and dissallow "save changes".
I need to perform data mining from a CSV file,and use correlation function to analyse and generate a pattern from the provide data (CSV) for a particular set of error for a given time sample.
Find the CSV file which contains the data which needs to be analysed and generate a pattern.
How can I make the files path independent. Lets say I have 6 workbooks, one of them having macro that connects all the six books. While working on my pc, I entered the file locations by myself. The macro runs fine.
Now I have to send the files to someone and would not like them to add their download directory at most places in the code. I want that after downloading, they have to only open the main file and press the button to run macro. How should I do that.
Right now am using this approach:-
sub main{ str 1file; set 1file = Workbooks.Open ("c:/downloads...../1stfile.xls")
I have this invoice spreasheet and I would like to when I excecute a macro to print, I would also like to use a PDFwritter to automaticly save/print the pdf file to a location and to ad the invoice number to the name like.
INV"current invoice here".
Bellow is the code I currently have. I am pretty sure this was done as I have some invoices saved but now it doesn't work.
Code: Sub Check_Info() If Range("AR1") = Empty Then MsgBox "No Customer selected!", vbInformation, "Customer..." Range("AR1").Select
Which created postscript files from Excel. I used to run this code while logged on as my predecessor, becuase only she had write permissions on the relevant file (C:Example). However, her account has now been deleted from the system - I have reset the permissions on the folder so that I can write to it, but the PostScript files created do not work - I get the error message that the file is corrupted and cannot be opened, or that there is a syntax error. The files used to work fine when logged in as my predecessor - could it be that? I have also tried to run the code on a different machine/on a different excel file and the problem still occurs.
I have a range that contains text. Let's say the range is colums $F:$M. There is x rows and in each cell there is either nothing or a word, let's call it "dummy". There is just a certain amount of "dummies", such as "dummy a", "dummy b" and so on, let's assume ten different dummies. It can also happen that "dummy c" or any other dummy appears more than once in those colums.
What I want Excel to do, is looking up columns $F:$M and make a list (possibly sorted) that includes all the entries from columns $F:$M, but each one only once and no blanks. Can I do this and if, how?
For example the Folder name is All file in which 60 files are there and I have a excel sheet named File List so I want to update the file names in excel through macro.
I want to make a macro that will generate a backup copy each time the Excel file is opened. I premade a backup and recorded the following macro, placing it in the sub here:
Code: Private Sub Workbook_Open() ChDir "C:Usersmy.selfDesktop" ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _ "C:Usersmy.selfDesktopDaily Backup.xlsm", _ FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled,_ CreateBackup:=False ActiveWorkbook.Close End Sub
names have been changed to protect the innocent. But now either putting in to repoen the original working excel or manually opening it puts me in an infinite loop of backing up. The probelm seems to be that to make a copy it is making the open workbook the backup. So two part question here:
1. Can I make a copy under the same name automatically when the file is opened while staying in the current one? Example: open the Excel file "Working Copy", which makes a mirror file called "Backup Copy", but stay in "Working Copy".
2. From what I did manage to do, I notice every time it asks if I want to overwrite. I chose "Yes" when recording the macro but this doesn't seem to get captured. can I make it automatically yes without being asked?
I am unable to print an office file to a certain printer because I am not the author of the file.. when I copy and paste to a new doc I can print no problem.
I have this data below in an excel worksheet. I'm using the ws.Cells(x,x).Value command to read values from the cells an print them out to a .prn fixed width file. However when it writes it to the .prn file my numeric fields don't have are not 0.00 but 0. And also the numeric fields are left justified I would like them right justified in the .prn file.
Excel Spreadsheet values
1.135.102/29/120.000.001.135.202/29/120.000.00
My output to .prn file looks like below:
1.135.1 02/29/12 0 0 1.135.1 02/29/12 0 0
I would like my output to .prn file to look like the following:
Am I able to call a macro when someone clicks "file" and then "print"? I have a macro ready to go, but I am unable to right click and assign a macro to the print button.
I want to put an Excel workbook to pdf format and print it out at the click of a button located in the book. However, when I try to record the macro to get a feel for how to control pdf with Excel, I get a pdf file but no printout and no code to veiw!
I am trying to create a macro that opens a .pdf with the name of the pdf equal to a cell value. For a simple example: Cell "A1" contains the text "distinct" and I want the file prexisting file "C:distinct.pdf" to open when the macro is ran.
Column C (starting at row 5) contains hyperlinks. I want to print the linked file, move down to the next cell, print that file, move on to the next, etc. FYI - The worksheets are from a seperate file.
I am working on a userform in which user can select diffrent sheets for print. I want all selected sheets to be printed in a single pdf and it could be great if it not ask for a path to save file.
I'm using Excel 2007. I have a cell with a dropdown box that has the values 1 thru 10. When I save the file (as an Excel 97-2003 compatible .xls file), it's 17kb which is normal. I want multiple dropdown boxes going down the same column, so that every time the user goes to the next row, another dropdown box will be displayed. I copied the cell with the dropdown box, selected the entire column, and pasted the dropdown box.
This time when I save the document, it's over 2MB in file size. I've seen other spreadsheets with several columns of dropdown boxes spanning thousands of rows and they stay under 30kb. I don't know what they did differently to keep their file size small. Why is my file size so large and how do I fix this? Do I need to use a 'paste special' function?
