Is it possible to make a setting in the registry, so next time excel opens
the addin is not "marked" in the addins-list. I can't do it manually because, because the close_event in the addin will be executed and that will screw things up.
Currently I'm looking at the regkeys: addin-manager and options, I see a change in the registry if I close XL when I unchecked an addin from the addin-list. It looks promising, but Iám not familiar with it
I have an addin in a shared folder which was created by someone else. (it is a user form). I need to create a macro which will go to its existing folder and then save it in the users personal addin folder also picking up their user id. There will be about 100 users so easier this way than going round doing it for them.
So I suppose the query is three fold.
1, pick up the addin and save it in a personal addin folder.
2, Find the username as part of the path file. For instance my personal would be:
"C:Documents and SettingsO033116Application DataMicrosoftAddIns"
The "O033116" is where I will need a search completed to obtain the user id.
The addin is called ServiceCredt.xla
3, Activate the installed addin.
The reason I want it this way is so the user is unable to access any of the code and we are in control.
I have an Excel Addin that I deploy as a read-only addin on a server share. I instruct my co-workers to add the Add-In as they would any other Add-In, but I tell the to answer NO to the Windows question "Copy 'AddinName' to the Addins folder for John Doe?".
That way, everyone will be working with the server version of the addin, and any time I want to roll out an updated version I just place a new addin file on the server. The next time the users restart Excel, the new version is loaded.
Except users never follow directions and some of them click the default 'Yes' when asked and get a local copy of the addin and never receive updated versions of the addin.
How do I disable the "Copy Addin" question completely? I don't want to depend on the user. I know this is possible because I have this 3rd party addin that we use that is installed from c:Program Files and it just stays there and you're never asked to copy the addin when you install it in Excel.
I have a workbook which prints the sheets I desire using my default printer when I click the Print button in the Standard Toolbar. However, my macros must not be written entirely correctly, for whenever I want to print using a different printer by clicking File/Print... my sheets immediately print without letting me choose any options - so with other words, using File/Print does exactly the same thing as hitting the Print button.
I've had my Excel 2007 set up for the longest time to show the 30 most recent files when clicking on the office button. After changing it to 50 the office menu in Excel runs off the bottom of the screen and I can no longer get ot the options at the bottom to change it back. Does anyone know the registry key to modify this setting back to the 30 that allowed the full menu to be visible?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have built a quoting tool and Userforms to act as a user interface to this tool. The userforms basically just feed user input back to relevant sheets. I have a number of textboxes, listboxes and radio buttons on multipages. Now the issue is that each control has an Afterupdate or Change event associated with it. Consider this scenario:
I have 4 product categories (represented by radio buttons) : Cat A, Cat B, Cat C, Cat D
Each category can have up to 10 line items which are represented by combo boxes.
Now lets say the user has selected Cat A radio button, he selects a product from the combo box (the cursor or focus is still on the combo box) and clicks on Cat B radio button. Here is the issue: on the first click, Afterupdate or Change event of Combo box fires but radio button is still unselected. The user has to click Cat B radio button AGAIN to select Cat B radio button. So essentially it takes two clicks with a slight pause between them to change categories.
One way to avoid this is to press Enter or 'tab through' each field. But this is not very intuitive. I have tried using Exit, Afterupdate, Exit, Change events without success. I can't use ControlSource option because the cell to input info to is dynamically selected. I have used xlCalculationManual for some text boxes but can't use this since some inputs on the userforms depend on the right value being calculated on the sheet.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have created an excel application using VBA that is posted publicly on a website and currently being downloaded by users around the world. I would like doing either of the following:
1) create a simple way to keep track of who has downloaded the application (e.g. is there a way to have people register with their email when they open the program for the first time?) so that I can send a mass email whenever a new version of the application is available
OR
2) be able to automatically send a notification to users when an update to the application has been made (e.g. is there a way to tap into Microsofts' update notification system so that it automatically updates the application for users with internet connection?)
I've got this relatively simple file I use to calculate some values for a game mod. Its currently using ad-hoc excel functions, but its maths related to aerodynamics and they get unreadable quickly. I'd like to move to VBA functions for ease of maintenance, and programming the maths part of the code has been no issue so far.
However, I don't understand how to replicate the functionality of the default maths functions regarding range inputs.
Simple example, one of the intermediate values is the Aspect Ratio of the wing:
Code:
=ROUND(2 * Semi_Span / Mean_Aerodynamic_Chord, 3)
This works fine with both numeric inputs, cell references, or, as shown here, defined range names.
However, my VBA version:
Code:
Function AspectRatio(b_2 As Variant, mac As Variant, Optional round As Integer = 3) As Variant
AspectRatio = Application.round(2 * b_2 / mac, round)
End Function
Only works with single-cell references or numeric inputs.
When called as:
Code:
=AspectRatio(Semi_Span, Mean_Aerodynamic_Chord)
It fails.
From my limited understanding - I've only started looking into VBA about 2 hours ago - I need to do a IsNumeric test on the inputs in question, and then use the row from Application.Caller.Address to select the right cell if the input is a range? Am I on the right track?

I just inherited an excel spreadsheet that has 10 tabs per every month in the year. Right now it is not that bad as there are only two months in the spreadsheet but I can see this being a headache to tab through later on in the year.
My initial thought is to make a table of contents worksheet that has a bunch of buttons (with macros) to hide/show tabs based on month. (Note: It would not make sense to consolidate the month worksheets into one as each worksheet already has a lot of data in it to begin with.
I would like to make an IF-formula in excel. The problem is that i would like to to it for 12 different commands. i.e "IF(A1=14;243;"") but for 12 commands I saw that the in-built IF function in excel only manage 7 commands, is this true?
And how do I write the formula,
I know how to insert, read and manage comments fields in Excel, however I want to be able to refer to a comment in another spreadsheet. For example
Spreadheet One contains a series of figures, against one of which a comment has been attached.
Spreadsheet Two has links pulling information from cells in various spreadsheets including the cell in Spreadsheet One which has the comment.
I have been working on a spreadsheet to manage my players in a virtual sports game. I have worked out that the optimum skill scores for all the positions and want a way to compare a player to the optimum.
For example:

Position 147.1737.6742.0533.8313.6711.3317.33
These are the averages for Position 1
How do I find the player who closest matches this optimum. Players have scores in the same 7 skill areas.
I have a set up a workbook which is linked to numerous other workbooks to provide a summary of information in one location.
However, when we reach April the names of all the linked worksheets will change from 'name 09 - 10' to 'name 10 - 11'.
What is the best way of handling this transition, will I have to manually change all of the links?
I have attached a much simplified example, unfortunately I cannot post the original due to sensitive data.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have found an addin (http://www.quantdec.com/Excel/smoothing.htm) that adds a worksheet function smoothing data. It operates with 2 arguments:
- a range for the input data to smooth
- a parameter detailing how to do the smoothing.
It outputs a matrix of smoothed results, and therefore requires the Ctrl-Shift-Enter on a spreadsheet. Until there no problem, the function works properly. However I need to repeat the process about 100 times. Therefore I extended my ranges to duplicate the calculations, and that also worked fine. But because I don't need the intermediate data (100 columns by 1000+ rows) and I don't like to wait 2 minutes for the calculations to finish each time I open the saved file again, I thought I could just use VBA and only output the final results.
This is how the working syntax is in a cell:
=SMOOTH(B3:B1032, "5RSSH,5RSSH,>,5RSSH")
And there the nightmare starts :
- I cannot apply it even once: I get a type mismatch whatever I do to calculate the range and put it as an argument of the function. I used a string to store the range name and use it as is (B3:B1032 or even "B3:B1032") or with the Range function Range("B3:B1032"). I even tried to put manually "B3:B1032" with the same result. First major issue
- Because the worksheet function requires a range, I cannot use an array, or at least I tried without success. Therefore I need to output the result on the worksheet each time it is processed, and reread it through the formula, for n times the loop is running for... Kind of inconvenient... So I tried to modify the original smooth() function to create a new one that would accept an array as argument instead of range, but with the same consequence: Type mismatch when I feed the new function with an array (which I checked contains the data to process).
I have tried an example I found somewhere using a built-in Excel Worksheet function MMult and it worked with ranges:
Sub SomeSub()
Dim xArray As Variant, yArray As Variant, zArray As Variant
Dim Fn As Object
Set Fn = Application.WorksheetFunction
xArray = Range("A1:B2").Value
yArray = Range("D1:E2").Value
zArray = Fn.MMult(xArray, yArray)
ActiveCell.Resize(2, 2).Value = zArray
End Sub
I have workbook which automatacally 'installs' an addin, i.e. ticks the box.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to force an addin to be installed in Excel 2003 using VBA? I have a spreadsheet that uses the solver.xla addin in a vba macro. It works fine on my machine, where I have manually ticked SOLVER in Tools>Addins and manually added a reference. However, it does not work when I send to someone else. It seems that the addin is not being installed. I have VBA code that opens it:

The one way to make it work is manually going into Tools>Addins and ticking it. This is confusing me as the above, along with the code that opens it, should not even require a reference, but it doesn't work without it
