View 5 RepliesI have a macro I've run for years in 2003. It takes a bunch of workbooks and merges them into one file. It also orders and colors the tabs in the final work book.
For some reason in 2007 the macro only opens the workbooks and failes to merge them.
Does anyone know what piece of code is not working, and what the work around is in 2007? ....
i have two excel sheets named APP1.xls and APP2.xls. I want to copy the data from both these files into one sheet.
I want to copy the Header row which is common for both files and i want to copy the row which has Total for that Application.
Have attached both the Input files and the outfile for your reference.
I've got a lot of wokbooks allocate in a intranet location (but i can use the explorer so see all of them) like: http://host.company.es/eng/workbooks/Forms/WebFldr.aspx
Is it possible with a VBA code to import the information in all workbooks to only one, like:
From all workbooks i just want the values in sheet2 - Cell A25 and C32
and i want that those values in the new workbook like : cell A25 goes to Cell A2 and C32 to B2. This for the first workbook analised for the second workbook itīs the same cells but it's copy to A3 and B3.
Is it a good idea to merge xls workbooks in to one master workbook?
I have read online that some say it is ok and nothing will happen and others say it isn't a good idea because macros and formulas will not work right once merge in to one workbook.
So I have many workbooks with 2 - 4 worksheets in them. All have formulas as well as macro's and everything is working fine just as it is. But I would like to have 1 Master workbook with all workbook/worksheets combined in to 1, so that I can stop opening so many workbooks.
I have a task to complete that requires me to extract worksheets from hundreds of workbooks and consolidate them into one "master" workbook. Out of the hundreds of workbooks, there is only one worksheet that I need to extract from each. The worksheet's name is "CostData". Once I have all the worksheets in one workbook, I will have to create buttons that will be able generate reports and charts based off the data in the worksheets. This will assist in determining cost comparisons, trends, and predictions. I am sure something like this has been done before, so can someone please help me out! Is there any code out there that can do this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to take a single worksheet from a workbook and merge them all into one workbook. In that master workbook I'm looking to have each of the worksheets on different tabs and the tab names as the original workbook name.
So if I have Workbook1, Workbook2, Workbook3, Workbook4 in a folder. I want to open a new spreadsheet, run this macro, select the folder with the Workbooks in, and have it take the range selected from the worksheet 'other' from each of the workbooks and generate a 'master' Spreasheet where each tab would be called Workbook1, Workbook2, Workbook3, Workbook4 and the contents would be from the 'other' tab
I found some of Ron de Bruin's code online which I've tried to customise.
Currently this takes a range from the tab specified, puts it into an array and then pastes it all into different columns on one worksheet. change this so that it creates a new worksheet for each original workbook, and names it after that workbook.
if it's possible to write a VBA or a code tat can merging diff workbook together. for example if i've a Folder call XXX in this folder there is
1.xls
2.xls
3.xls
4.xls
and the data all exist onli in columns. which means all the four .xls will join and be come 1 without duplication will be the best if not is ok.
Second question can i sort row by colour? for example if i've 10 rows of record and which have different colour can i write a code tat works like.
a loop to loop from the first to the last then
if .Cell.colour = Red then move to the bottom
if .Cell.colour = black then move to the top
I'm trying to create a code that when run hides a selection of columns and defines the minimum and interval value for a chart on the active worksheet. My attempt is assigned to the 'update skills' button at the top of the "GRAPH" worksheet of the attached workbook.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 30 xlsx files in a folder and I want the first sheet of all that files to be merged to a new workbook. The thing is I don't want the macro to copy paste the value in to the same sheet of the new master sheet like Ron's excel merge tool does. I want a macro to create new 30 sheets on the master file and copy the data from source files. And I want the newly added sheets to be renamed as the source file name. This works well except the sheet renaming thing.

I use excel 2002 but some of my office are on 97, i want to add a small workbook open event code which works for me but debugs for the others?? The code is basically, go to a tab, on that tab and that range sort..
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy company has files that are already in use. I don't know too many details about how they work, but somehow saving the file will screw it up and my boss has to go back and reset something or other to correct it. Obviously it's connected to some other software somewhere. The code below will block Save and Save-As. BUT how do I get the file to hold onto the code without actually saving the file after the code is added (since the file shouldn't be saved)?
VB:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
If SaveAsUI = False Then
Cancel = True

I'm trying to find a way to save a single sheet of an excel workbook and in the same process delete all vba code and shapes from the new single sheet workbook. I was looking around and found this code which does save only the single sheet to a new one sheet workbook but doesn't delete the vba and shape that I have used to assign macros to in the original.
Code:
Sub SaveSheetAsNewBook()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim InitFileName As String
Dim fileSaveName As String
Dim wshape As Shape
InitFileName = ThisWorkbook.Path & Format(Date, "mm.dd.yy")

The amazing code I saw was from this thread Auto lock cells after data entry when file saved... where the code was made by Jafaar Tribak.
It basically locks cells that have had data inputted into them when the file is saved (with a nice prompt warning of the used cells being locked.
This is Jafaar's file [URL]
And this is my file where I'm trying to make it work in the "Employee data entry" Sheet:
[URL]
And finally this is the file after I tried to copy the code over : [URL]
Trying to make it so that in the employee data entry sheet locks cells after an employee inputs some data into said cells.
I thought that by setting an "inputrange" on the employee data entry sheet the code would track it down automatically but maybe I'm completely wrong. I cant see anything wrong with it (probably because I"m not that good at vba) but I fear I may have left out something really simple!
I seem to disable my other macros when i try to insert this code in (I have a macro that when you click on a cell a calendar pops up so you can click on a day from the calendar rather than typing out the date)
How is code or functions kept unique to a workbook? for instance i create a few toolbars that are relevant to "work book 1", however when i open another workbook "2" the toolbars do not function properly or are removed by the opening/closing of the work book, similarly other macros seem to struggle with more than one workbbok open at a time.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with four worksheets named
FilteredData
FilteredDataFormat
array
arrayFormat
The two sheets named FilteredDataFormat and arrayFormat exist strictly to preserve headers , and column widths.
So that for convenience sake I can clear my data without specifying a range that excludes the headers.
I simple clear the contents of the 'FilteredData' and 'array' then copy and paste 'arrayFormat' and 'FilteredDataFormat'.
Sort of an unconventional and lazy approach but I see no reason why this will not work.
Here is my original code and what happens is that excel creates another workbook for some reason unknown to me
This code, supplied through this forum, works perfectly in one workbook but not another. I have created a range called ColourRange, one called ColourIndex but I am getting a '400' error message when I attempt to run it. Can anone explain to me (in very simple terms) why it won't work?
Sub CopyFormatMMT()
'Colour code Owners
Dim r As Range
Dim f As Range
Dim c As Range
Dim j As Range
Set r = Range("ColourRangeMMT")
Set f = Range("ColourIndex")
Range("ColourRangeMMT").Select
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
For Each c In r.Cells
For Each j In f.Cells
If c = j Then
c.Interior.ColorIndex = j.Interior.ColorIndex
End If
Next j
Next c
Range("C9").Select

I want to put the vba code into each "ThisWorkbook" in each workbook that is in a folder. I want the code that is placed in each "ThisWorkbook" to run whenever that workbook is opened.
How would I go about doing that? I have this code so far to open the workbooks that are in the folder.
I need to error check to see if a worbook is open or not. if it is not open i need it to open it. i supplied the code i am trying but it is not working. I keep all my workbooks in XLSTART.

I have two workbooks the first named "number" which just contains the number 50000 on sheet 1 cell A1. This "number" workbook is always closed and saved in c:me"number". The second named "sales" has a form control button with code as follows and is always opened and saved in c:me
Sub next invoice()
range ("A1"). Value= range ("A1"). value+1

When I press the button this code does not work because I am missing the vba code to find the close file.

In WS1=Main, I have a list in Column from E3 to E1000. let say E3=1, E4=2, E5=3, E6=4, E7=5..., so on and so forth.
In WS2=Reference, I have a list in Column from F5 to F1002. let say F5=1, F6=2, F7=3, F8=4, F9=5..., so on and so forth.
What I want is if I click the E3=1, E4=2, E5=3, E6=4, E7=5..., in WS1=Main if will jump to specific cell in WS2=Reference e.g. F5=1, F6=2, F7=3, F8=4, F9=5...,
Does anybody know the memory limitations that Excel (2003) has with regard to the amount of vba code that a workbook can contain?
I have automated one of my spreadsheets to load a bunch of modules containing code (a few hundred thousand lines of code altogether). Before it finishes loading all of the modules I get a "Run-time error '7': Out of memory" error. When I press the Help button on the dialog I get a help page which says:
"More memory was required than is available, or a 64K segment boundary was encountered."
The help page goes on to suggest (among a few other things) that I might have a module or procedure that is too large. After reducing the sizes of individual procedures and modules, I am starting to think that there may be a limit to the absolute number of lines of code that can be stored within a single workbook.
I have a code that saves my worksheet once it closed. At the moment it saves the Active worksheet which is Sheet1
The problem i have is i have a few vlookup formulas that reference hidden worksheets Sheet2 & Sheet3
Would it be possible to modify this code so it saves the entire workbook?
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim bk1 As Workbook
Dim bk As Workbook
Dim myfilename As String
myfilename = "C:files" & Range("B10") & " - " & Range("J10") & ".xls"

Haven't been here in a long time ...
Anyway, I got a HUGE (in terms of code size) wbk that is sort of a management report writer that connects to external data bases and does lots of other stuff.
Due to the way this wbk was designed the actual reports the client requested are in it as well. So now when i need to upgrade the code i hafta use a small proc that kills all the code in the prev version of the wbk but keeps the sheets (ie reports themselves) intact, and then recreates new code modules classes etc from the upgraded version of the wbk.
Although this works for now i really want to improve the code maintenance so i want to implement dll's into this project.
The wbk itself needs to have only basic code to call dll's and some other stuff and that's it. The code itself should come in dll's into a certain folder and wait for the next upgrade . How can i do this?...
is it possible to use code to save a workbook? I know this is pretty basic, but for the life of me, I cannot answer this question searching the entire website and forums.
I'm currently creating what could be called a "yearly timesheet" for a small company and trying to automate it as much as possible. I've created several buttons along with input boxes to create the data, now I would like to make two more, one to save the worksheet (preferrably using data from one cell as the workbook name) and a second to send the workbook to the local, default printer. I've come across the topics on stopping Excel from automatically asking the user to save it, etc etc but none along the lines of "this is how you create a button that if clicked, saves the workbook."
I want to be able to launch code in an add-in to perform a check when other workbooks are opened by the user. Code in the Open event for the add-in launches when Excel opens, not when each workbook is opened

I am trying to paste some codes to the "ThisWorkbook" section of a file. The codes I am trying to paste will prevent the user from: doing a Save As (to keep them from saving the files anywhere else in the network) and to Disable the Macro (only showing a prompt sheet if they do so they can go back and enable the macros). The file that these codes will go to is sheet and workbook protected, and some cells are protected, and cells that they can edit have data validation formulas. In a post dated Nov 6, 2003 (thread 16750) I found a useful code that lets me paste the codes above to a target file. But when I save and close the file, the Disable macro does not work.
So I tried long method and pasted the codes into the ThisWorkbook section manually. Save and closed manually. and when I opened the file, the Disable and Enable works. Just as a background, I am a beginner with VB and I can't write my own codes yet, but I try to piece them together from forum answers. I need VB to do this because I have 263 individual files to prepare. I used to use AutoPilot, which is a scripting software but it's so prone to bonking out that I would rather do it in VB if possible. These are the codes am trying to paste:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave _
(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
If SaveAsUI = True Then Cancel = True
