Master File To Control What Is Entered And When (locked Months When Not In Use)
Sep 7, 2007
i have this side project that i have been working on for the last few days around work... Excel based of course. to cut a long story short i have been working on a Master File (Team Leader)... this file controls around 15 other files (Team Members). from the Master File the Team Leader can lock / unlock worksheets for the Users (required) for the Team Leader this is displayed on a Listbox (Jan-Dec signifying 12 worksheets per person). Also the Team Leader File has two combobox's for "Team Member's Name" and "Type" then they see a large "commandbutton" that reads "Change Users Stats". the point of this is for the Team Leader... using their Master File to control what is entered and when (locked Months when not in use).
the User (Team Member 1 out of 15) then just enters their data within that given Month which is unlocked. so the Commandbutton checks for the Name Listed from Combobox1... then checks to see what Type from combobox2... then from the listbox checks to see which months need to be Locked or Unlocked. Additional: the "Type" indicates percentages from the Users File.
E.g. Type 1-3
type 1 = 100% in cell c5
type 1 = 50% in cell c6
etc etc...............

I have a master spreadsheet that houses most of the information that remains in my control, and several other user spreadsheets that update cells from that master through links.
I am having some problems lately with users doubleclicking the locked linked cells in their workbooks, and excel then wanting to open and give the user access to my master spreadsheet. Is there a way to disable this feature? I would like it to not even acknowledge the action if that's even possible because it confuses them as to why they are getting a prompt to open another document.

I have a .txt file created in Notepad and it contains a 4 digit number (Job ID). I am recieving the dreaded "Bad File Mode" (#54) error when writing back the file.
I would like to OPEN it as R/W locked, read it, increment it by 1 and write it back. Am perfectly willing to create the .txt as non-binary if that is causing the issue.
Dim jinChar As String
fileNumber = FreeFile()
jinFP = "JIN.txt"
Open jinFP For Binary Access Read Write Lock Read Write As #fileNumber
Input #fileNumber, jinChar
jobIDNumber = CInt(jinChar)
jobIDNumber = jobIDNumber + 1
jinChar = CStr(jobIDNumber)
Write #1, jinChar
Close #fileNumber

I have a master page with A1 containing the names of staff members and then 5 columns indicating preference1 .... preference5. Each preference column will have one 4 digit site code i.e. 8156 entered. I will have 64 worksheets matching all potential 4 digit site codes that could be entered in the preferences columns.
SAMPLE - one staff member entering 5 site codes (A1 to A6)
Billy Bloggs - 8124 - 8456 - 8456 - 8123 - 8882
What I am looking for is a way to autocopy the persons name to the appropriate worksheet and into the correct preference column as I enter the 4 digit code against the staff members name on the master sheet.

I am getting a message, the Excel file i am opening (xlsm) is locked for editing by 'another user'. But, NOT SO, of course; i am the only user logged in to this PC, and there is no network access. I quit Excel and verified that i see no Excel processes running. But, when i try to open the file, i still get the "locked by 'another user'" message, and at this point can only open read-only. I looked in the folder the file is in and do not see any of those ~ files or anything else suspicious.
So, what do i do? How do i "unlock"? How can i open this file once again to make modifications to it?

A user in our company has a document on a shared drive in our domain. It's using the protect feature which means that you'll have to type username/password before you're allowed to edit the document. The problem is that users who only want to view the document will cause it to lock, and then you can't edit it before they close it.
I thought that sharing the document would solve this issue, but when I tried to it said that Visual Basic features would not work which basically makes the document useless so that's not an option.

I have csv files auto generated (with date stamp in name) and saved in a specific folder everyday. I need to find a macro that will copy the row(s) every day and add to the next empty row in the master excel file. Some days the csv file may have a single row of data and on some other days it may have multiple rows of data to copy and paste.

I am a lacrosse coach and am keeping track of key stats that our team values that cannot be found in the box score (ex: 'Secondary Assists'). To do this we have created a group of rather simple Excel spreadsheets to keep track of these. We have one master file will all the total data from the season and 10 or so secondary files for each game that we played. To this point, I have been adding the data from the different game files to the master file manually and it is very time consuming.
My question, is it possible to copy a row of data from one of the secondary files and have excel add that data to the existing data in the master file?

I have a program where I can update the calibration due date of an item. I have attached a cut down version of my program showing the relevant areas. There is usually password protection on the worksheet so it can only be edited via the form (the vba coding removes the password protection before editing, then re-enables the password protection after editing). The "Update Calibration" button is usually on a "Menu" sheet.
Once the form is opened a serial number is typed in the textbox. The calendar button is then clicked, which brings up another form with the calendar on. The due date is selected on the calendar. When "OK" is clicked, the date label caption is then changed to the selected calendar date. When "Submit" is clicked, the spreadsheet will search for the Serial Number, once found, the label caption (being the date selected) will be entered into the cell to the right of the serial.
If the day selected on the calendar is greater than 12 the date is entered correctly onto the sheet. example: calendar date selected = 15/01/2010. shown on sheet as 15/01/2010. However, if the day selected on the calendar is 12 or less, the date is for some reason entered incorrectly onto the sheet. example: calendar date selected = 08/12/2010. shown on sheet as 12/08/2010???? What is going on here? how come the day and month are swapped around if the day is less than 12????

I've attached 2 test files, one is the database master file containing the projects (each row represents a project, unique reference number in column A) and the other is the blank template file i'm hoping to export data into and then save down with the naming convention "column A_column B.xlsx"
Kept the test files simple but would need to modify any code to apply to much larger database consisting of many more fields etc.
Master.xlsx

I have a department of around 20 ppl, each have excel files that can contain upto 10 tabs with those in turn possibly containing upto 500 lines each.
I now need to take totals from each person, linking it back to my one 'master' file.
Now i could do this with various VLookups but speed would be an issue here. I will be working off company servers too, so shared drives are involved.

I have a vba procedure that concatenates the name I want to use as the file name and stores it in a variable named ""NuFileNm".
Is there a way to have the vba open the "Save As" dialogue box and enter the NuFileNm string into the "File Name" box ready for me to manually specify where I want to save it?

I have about 100 csv files of the same format that I would like to append into a single master file. Order is not important for appending (I can do a column sort later) I can do copying and pasting, but this will take a long time especially because I will creating more master files from completely different CSVs in the future. Is there a faster way to append CSV files?

I am currently working on a performance document. I am working on the principle of having a master template which people can then access, Save As, and use to monitor performance around KPI's.
The issue I am having is around the name of the document changing when it is saved as, as all records have to retained. The macro I am struggling with is designed to unlock the workbook & worksheet, copy the worksheet specified into a new workbook and then return to the workbook the macro is held within and lock it back up. However, when the name changes it just locks the new workbook rather that the version I am asking it to.
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect Password:="KPIreview"
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="KPIreview"
Sheets("EID Graphs").Select
Sheets("EID Graphs").Copy
[Code] ....
Is there anyway I can change the “Kent – Monthly Activity & Performance Review – Version 17 – Master.xlsm” statement within the macro to reflect the change in name of the document?

Basically, the code copy contents from 4 "Child" files to a "Mater" file.
Everything works smoothly but no data is being copied from the "Child" files.
[Code] .....
The other thing I've noticed is that if a "Child" file is open, I cannot run the code. Is there a way that even a "Child" file is open, the code can copy it's contents on the background?

My project requires working with 3 different files, in my example here: Delivery Status, Warehouse, and Clients. Delivery Status is the master file where the information is gathered at first. Then when the product arrives, from the column "AI" I choose the Destination which it could be a warehouse or client. So far the code that I have can paste the information in different sheets within the File Warehouse, but can not make the difference between the File warehouse and the file Clients.
In the Delivery Status file I can choose from the Column AI whether the destination is a warehouse or a client and I need Excel to paste the information in the proper file. Have in mind that I have a lot of sheets in both files. I am attaching an example files with the code.

I have six files that are formatted the same(fld1-1.xlsx, fld1-2.xlsx...). Each file contains an I.D. number (random 25 digit number) in column A and a note (1-9) in column B. The only thing that changes between files is the note column. I want to pull from these six files into a master file. When all six files are combined the note column in the master file is complete, there are no duplicates. Because a blank vlookup returns a zero, could I use an IF formula. Something like IF VLOOKUP FROM data01(ISNUMBER(0), then vlookup in file data02. IF VLOOKUP FROM data02(ISNUMBER(0), then vlookup in file data03.

I have many folders (around 500) - each of them contains a excel file (the excel files have all the same name), ideally I would like to be able to run a macro from a master excel file that would allow me to add a sheet which I would create in the master excel file and add it to all of the excel files that are in the folders. So far I have used the code from the link: [URL]
VB:
Sub CopyWorkbook()
Dim sh As Worksheet, wb As workbook
Set wb = workbooks("1.xlsx")
[Code].....
but when I change it from 2.xlsx to 1.xslx in the code it works just fine, copying the sheets from the file to itself.

I'm trying to add more sheets to consolidate the data from different worksheets
What I want it to do is to consolidate each worksheet in every excel file into one workbook that will have the same worksheet structures as the child files
If every excel file has {Sheet1,Sheet2,Sheet3} structure The Master Consolidated workbook should have the same structure but with all the date copied from the child excel files.
Attache it's also an example

I'm creating a master spreadsheet and I want it to pull live data from other spreadsheets depending on a variable.
I've a cell that has a variable date. I've files saved that have this variable attached to it in the name format: 'filename variable'.
I want to pull data, hopefully live, from workbooks based on this variable.
For example, I have files: generic 01212014, generic 01222014, generic 01232014.
The date is stored in the master workbook say in A1 that I can manipulate by entering a different date to pull data from a different workbook.
='[generic 01212014.xlsm]Database'!$L$3
='[generic 01222014.xlsm]Database'!$L$3
='[generic 01232014.xlsm]Database'!$L$3
There has to be away to make the bolded portions of the file name variable, right?

I have multiple excel files from which I would like to copy specific ranges to a master file. The row should add up to the previous rows. From this side I have no problems things work fine. The problem is to copy the header which remains the same data to the top of the master file. Currently the macro I use overwrite the first line of the master file. So I loose the date from one of the excel files.

I'm trying to collect specific data from a collection of different (.xls) files into 1 master file using the following code (which runs in the master file):
Code:
Sub FolderPick()
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
[Code].....
I'm having trouble with the Name-variable in the 'red line'. This variable is set in the 'purple lines' however, the code (which I got online) keeps adding ".pdf" to the name.
I think it has to do with the settings of the 'purple/underlined line' but I don't know if this is true and if so, how to change it.
