I am trying to invoke an excel VBA macro from excel from a button or in some
way directly by the user (that is by not having to invoke macro from excel menu)
that can be invoked from a Macintosh or PC version of excel. That is, it should
not used active X controls but in some other way that is best practice. Is there
any way to invoke a macro by button or menu item that is cross-platform?
I'm trying to get the Find and FindNext methods to work. Column C contains serial numbers and there's a chance that a serial number might appear more than once in the column. What I'm trying to do is get Excel to find the first occurance of the serial number, find what row it's on and then see if this matches the variable 'CurRowNo' (defined earlier in the code). If it doesn't I want it to look at the other occurances of the serial number, find what row they're on and see again if it matches CurRowNo.
The variable 'EngCount is the number of occurances of the serial number (also worked out earlier in the code). I've got the code below, but I get the error 'Method Range of Object Global Failed' on the FindNext line. I have no idea what this error means or why it's happening.
I have a macro on a workbook that when I hit the button it asks for the date of a register sales journal that I want to import. Then it asks for the cash in drawer amount. Then it puts in all of the data into the sales spreadsheet. Now I want to use the on time method to bypass the button and the entry of the date, and even get rid of the cash in drawer. I want to make the macro run at 9:30 every night. I want it to use the date on the computer to tell it which date to find? Here is the code I'm using! button macro
' Button2_Click Macro
Sub Button2_Click()
ImportData
End Sub
Here is the main macro
Function FileExists(sFile As String) As Boolean
Dim iLen As Integer
On Error Goto NO_FILE
FileExists = True
iLen = FileLen(sFile) ................
I have 2 macros, each called by the other to keep updates fast as per below,
Sub Macro1()
Cells.Replace What:=",29", Replacement:=",30", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False
Application .OnTime Now() + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "Macro2"
End Sub
Sub Macro2()
Cells.Replace What:=",30", Replacement:=",29", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False
Application.OnTime Now() + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "Macro1"
End Sub
I need to create a separate macro I can run to permanently stop these two cycling. And allow me to use Excel. Then, when I wish for these to cycle again, I simply run that macro.

I am working on a file which is a log of all the requests we send out to our vendors. We regularly need to re-send these requests to remind them they haven't responded yet, so I am working on a macro which takes the info from the log and re-populates the request form so everything doesn't have to be re-typed every time. I've added a MsgBox as a double-check to force people to confirm they want to re-send the request.
My problem is that if you hit "No" on the MsgBox, then try to run the code again, it gives me a Run-time Error 1004 saying "Paste method of Worksheet class failed". Can someone look at my code and see if you can tell me why it works the first time but not the second?

Set srcCell2 = SourceBook.Worksheets(1).Columns("A").FindNext
' If firstsrccell.Address = srcCell.Address Then

I checked above code by putting breakpoint, but code is unable to find next instance where it matches the required string (FindNext reamains at the same position).

Allot of examples will write FileExists(Dir(sFilePath)) in their explanation but I don't know what the Dir is referring to. Does this mean the directions to the file or is this referring to the directory and Dir is actually a keyword for direcory?

I have a conditional formatting or some other method (open to suggestions) which will identify those line items which need his attention.

I have a range object representing a data set, and I want to return only the first row of data from the range. The range starts at cell A2:

View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to apply filters based on 2 criteria

Depending on what is selected in Filter 1, lets say it applies to column F and i get a data set

Also at the end, I need to release all filters so that i can see the entire data set.
I know I must be missing something basic, but why is this code assigning a value to "NamePosition", instead of a range:

I thought the find method returned a range?
