With ActiveSheet. PivotTables("mypivot).PivotFields("team")
.Orientation = xlRowField
.Position = 2
This will move the data row field called "team" to be the second from the left. I would like a way to move whatever (without mentioning the field's name) field is in position 2 to position 3. Similar to an "offset" to the right.
i am using VBA to handle a pivottable in excel. i am using pt.PivotFields("Position Status").Orientation = xlHidden to hide a field. but what if this field is not there in the first place? how should i put a "if" clause so that if this field is not there, i can skip this and go to next action?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want the data field to change to a different field when a command button (cmd_view) is clicked. So when the command button has a caption of "Toggle to Feeds", the code changes the field from Sqm to Feeds, and changes the caprion on the command button to "Toggle to Sqm". When this is next clicked, the fields are swithed over, and the command button caption changes relative to it.
The code I have written is below:
The problem I have is when the code changes the view from feeds to Sqm, it works fine, but when the code changes from Sqm to feeds, it crashes out in the true part of the If statement on the code line ".orientation = xlhidden" with the error "Unable to set the Orientation property of the PivotField class".
As the code for the change of view is the same, apart from the field names, I am at a loss on what is the cause.
I have tried to record a macro to see if the field names appear differently, but they do not.
Sub Tog_pivot()
Dim Toggle As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Toggle = Sheet5.cmd_View.Caption
If Toggle = "Toggle to Feeds" Then
'switch view from Sqm to Feeds
Range("F12").Select
' hide existing field

.Orientation = xlHidden
End With

The red is the part that I tried to manipulate to add the new directory, the problem I can see is that the new directory contains folders with the following name "WO#____" as i can see the # sign is probably throwing the program off because it can't open up the link to that folder in order to look for files. The program as it stands still works fine with looking up the first directory. I also know we had created a function to solve the sign problem for directory 1 file names. How can i use that function to directory 2.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI had a problem today where I had to make some changes to a couple of large text files (100mb+). It seems that the File System Object (Microsoft Scripting Runtime) can only read or write at any one time so I ended up writing this.

In Cell B1 I'm trying manipulate (either sum or find the difference for) the current and most recent prior values of Cell A1. The value in Cell A1 changes frecuently because it gets its values from a DDE link.
How do I :
1. Display in Cell B1 the current change in value of Cell A1 ?
2. Display in Cell C1 the sum of changes which have taken place in Cell B1 ?
3. Ideally I'd like to also be able to manually reset the value of Cell C1 to zero at any time.
I think this is a macro, or array, or pivot table thing, and is probably simple, but all of that is well beyond my current skill level.
i have a userform..and on clicking ok the excel sheet behind is populated..if the value in a cell is -1 then the cell should turn empty as in the cell should contain no value.

I'm trying to write a macro that will take 5 articles that I have written and separate the sentences out....
So what I need to happen is I take the articles and pop them into excel, then the macro will pick the first sentence of the first article, then the first sentence of the second article, then the first sentence of the third article....and basically repeat this for all the sentences in all the articles also while adding a "|" in between the sentences and adding a starting "{" and an ending "}" for each of the first sentences, second sentences and so on.....
I don't know that I'm making any sence here so here is a very small example of what I need to happen....
Article 1 Paragraph 1: I like blue. I like Green. I like Purple.
Article 1 Paragraph 2: I like flowers. I like dasies. I like tulips.
Article 2 Paragraph 1: I like football. I like basketball. I like soccer.
Article 2 Paragraph 2: I like food. I like wine. I like beer.
Article 3 Paragraph 1: The sky is blue. The sky is dark. The sky is night.
Article 3 Paragraph 2: I love stars. The moon is big. The moon is full.
So each of articles would need to be placed in separate sheets I'm guessing?
Below is what I need the text to look like when the macro has finished.....
Spun Article Paragraph 1:
{I like blue.|I like football.|The sky is blue.}{I like Green.|I like basketball.|The sky is dark.}{I like Purple.|I like soccer.|The sky is night.}
Spun Article Paragraph 2:
{I like flowers.|I like food.|I love stars.}{I like dasies.|I like wine.|The moon is big.}{I like tulips.|I like beer.|The moon is full.}
I hope this all makes sense.....
I already set this up using the record macro feature of excel and it works ok but I end up having to do a lot of editing because it will put to many brackets in or not enough so I was hoping for some advise or possibly some code example that could get me headed in the right direction....

I am working on a file that is going to import and then manipulate data from another excel file automatically. I would like this to be as smooth as possible and I am running into a problem. The file I am importing the data from is password protected, so I am opening it in read-only. Also, the file contains links to other excel files.
What I would like to do is indicate in the code to open the file in read-only format so that the user doesn't get a message box asking for the password. Also, is there a way to suppress the message box about updating the links? I have tried application.displayalerts = false but that didn't solve my problem.
I have a pivot table created from a data table with three columns: Date, Sales, and Customers. I have the Date column in the Report Filter and I want to change the date based upon a value in a cell range named Date, of all things. The pivot table is located in another worksheet and the range Date is changed by a spin button in the active worksheet.
My code is:

pt.PivotFields("Date").ClearAllFilters
pt.PivotFields("Date").CurrentPage = Range("Date")

I retrieve data about local reservoirs (elevation, precipitation, gated release, ...) from a web site [url]. Retrieving the reports requires manipulating three drop boxes ("Select lake", "Year", "Data Type"). After that, I copy the data to the clipboard, and, back in Excel, push a button that pastes the text and extracts the data.
I'd like to programmatically manipulate those controls so that data retrieval can be completely automated.
I have 2 workbooks, one containing all my code and userforms and another containing all my data (which is continuously updated/ dynamic). I want to be able to manipulate the data without ever opening the workbook (at the moment I use the open workbook method, but it is extremely slow). I have found some code (Jwalk) which I think meets my needs (and is instant). I have adapted this so it points to a specific path rather than the active path as below etc. but I need to adapt it further so that:
1. When the data is opened it is formatted exactly the same as it is in the original sheet which includes any coloured cells, bold fonts, cell width, height and so on
2. Any changes I make can be saved back to the original sheet in the closed workbook.
3. The data always opens in a named specific worksheet i.e. "TempSheet" which sits in the workbook containing the code (my code is called from a userform within this workbook).
The code I am using from Jwalk is as follows:
Sub GetDataDemo()
Dim FilePath$, Row&, Column&, Address$
'change constants & FilePath below to suit
'***************************************
Const FileName$ = "Book1.xls"
Const SheetName$ = "Sheet1"
Const NumRows& = 10
Const NumColumns& = 10
FilePath = ActiveWorkbook.Path & ""
'***************************************

Also, what does 'Const' do? how do I bring in the data without specifying the number of rows, as this will be different every time?
I am currently trying to manipulate date ranges for monthly and quarterly reports, and am having trouble doing this. I have attached a file with an example of what I would essentially need.
I would need the "Nbr of Projects", "Nbr of Days worked", "Nbr of International Projects" and "Nbr of Local Projects" cells filled in under each respective report, based on the data in the top left.
If a project falls in two months, such as "18.12.2008 to 15.01.2009", this would be treated as 1 project for December and 1 project for January. Also, I would need only "NETWORKDAYS" included in the solution, so 11 days in this example.
I am trying to create a calculator in excel that has five parts. I want to manipulate each part based on the other parts.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI m working with bar charts and as I've heard these labels can be a bit of a pain. I've got the labels in roughly the right position 90% of the time however that other 10% has me in rolling fits.
My issues
1. A label within the chart area is wrapped on two lines, how could I restrict Excel from wrappign the label
2. A Labels position covers some of the data reported and thus makes the graph messy
how could I find the position of the end of the bar and also the length of the datalabel so I could reposition it. Note I am using 2003 and that I am trying to use
activeChart.seriesCollection(s).item(i).Datalabel.left
for finding the position although this is only really where im getting to. finding the wrapping position and also being able to manipulate the length of the label is proving tricky.
I have column A and column B:
I will be inputting data into column B.
I need excel to check to see if the data I input into column B is an exact match to the data in column A.
If it is an exact match, then column B will remain blank.
If the data in column B is different, I need column B to show the following:
No match: <data>
Example I input in column B the following:
Column A Column B
1. Car Car
2. 4357 9999
3. fsd34d 4erd
4. 98dkf 98dkf
Spreadsheet should show:
Column A Column B
1. Car
2. 4357 No match: 9999
3. fsd34d No match: 4erd
4. 98dkf
(Cell 1 and 4 in column B are empty because they are exact matches to Column A cell 1 and 4)
My questions:
1) How does the excel formula need to be written for this to work?
2) Is there a way to set it so that when I do a mass copy to data into column B that the formula will not be overwritten and it will still check to see if the data I copy and pasted into that column matches the data next to it in column A?
I have a long customer listing, names 5 to 36 characters and several with their location in the name as well as a few common duplicate names. I am trying to produce sheet where the customers name once selected opens in the customers spreadsheet and data can be added/amended for sales etc.The lists are not in alphabetical order as when created a customer number is automatically allocated. My aim is just to type in the first letter of the name and the dropdown appears the customer is selected and their card appears. I have tried data validation, lookup, vlookup, Dropdown and Match/find. they only return the first record found and no sign of any others. Find returned all instances of the letter appearing in every name.
