i have admit forms for multiple patients, about 200 or so already done, and its set up to make an upload sheet, which we then add all of them to one big file to import to access. i am in the process of cleaning things up, but we need to add a formula to a cell to determine length of stay, and several similar things, but i'd like to not have to go and do it file by file.
is there any way to update all the files at once? some kind of automation? then changes would be in the same cell for each file.
or maybe some way to do a batch modify or something, so it can make the change, and run the two macros, one to make upload for file, one to dump it in the file that goes into access.
I would like to know if there is a way to modify multiple excel files in a folder. What I need to do is hide various columns, adjust margins, cut and paste certain columns to a different position, and change the page layout. Is all of this possible, or will I need to change each individually? If you need more information, let me know.
I've been successfully using a for loop method to make minor changes to formulas or formatting in multiple sheets within the same workbook.
I would like to update a standard button I have in each sheet. This button jumps the user to the 'dashboard' sheet.
Now I want to add a functionality to the button which makes it input the refrence sheet name into a cell in the 'dashboard' sheet. Is there a way I can make a VBA macro to edit the code in multiple sheets? I'd love to not do this manually for 100 sheets!
1) automatically check the active row to see if it contains specific text (i dont' care if there is other stuff in the cell or cells), such as "truck 1 blahblahblah" and checks for specific font color, such as green.
2) if the row does, then I want it to copy ALL the cells in the active row EXCEPT Column A (which contains the date), and then paste them twice, one 21 rows down from the active row, and one 35 rows down from the active row.
3) Once copied and pasted, modify the pasted cells slightly. The first pasted cells need to say Truck 2 blahblahblah in Column C and be in blue font (instead of the original Truck 1 blahblahblah in Green Font), the second needs to say Truck 3 blahblahblah and be in yellow font. Everything else that was pasted will be the same EXCEPT they will be in blue or yellow font.
I found the code below and it works perfectly if I want to copy all the other sheets to a master sheet. But, I need to specify specific sheets. Basically I have a workbook consisting of multiple sheets and multiple "master" sheets so I need to specify in the code which sheets it should be copying.
I'm having a problem with how excel opens my files. Up until yesterday when I would open any of my spreadsheets they would open seperately. I would have multiple files open across my taskbar and could easily switch between files with a simple Alt-tab windows function.
Now when I open multiple excel files it opens them under "one" file so to speak. The only way to switch between files is if I go to Window>then select the file I want or minimize within excel so I can see the other spreadsheets.
I am trying to find a vlookup formulae for multiple spreadsheets in excel. I have the below data that i need to lookup, test and produce an output.
Main Spreadsheet:
Column B...........................Column C A 0000564235.................... <Desc> <---- Desired output is Coumn C from searching all part numbers in each spreadsheet.
Spreadsheet 1:
Column B (Part No.) ..........Column C (Desc) A 0000564235................................Hose
Spreadsheet 2:
Column B (Part No.) .......Column C (Desc) A 02315645646 ............................Clamp
Spreadsheet 3:
Column B (Part No.) .......Column C (Desc)............
I have a workbook that I add about 20-35 tabs in a month. To individually go through and protect the sheet will take too much time, is there another way where I can select multiple tabs so the worksheets can be protected?
after finishing a huge macro, the last step is to take row 1 of sheet 1 and insert it at the top of every worksheet.
This is the first way I tried it. It does absolutely nothing (except copy the row).
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets Sheets("Sheet1").Range("1:1").Copy ws.Range("1:1").Insert Shift:=xlDown Next ws This was another try, which resulted in a 1004 "Select method failed" error
I have a workbook to collate ratings for staff, there are three sheets, one is a summary of data, and two are sheets that can have data entered into them, called "Eligible" and "Ineligible".
I would like to write a macro to search cells in "Eligible" that contain a staff number, and copy this data to "Summary". If excel encounters a blank cell, i.e it has no staff number in it, it will move to she sheet "Ineligible" and perform the same operation, pasting the data below that which has been copied from "Eligible"
To further complicate things, every time the macro runs to populate "Summary" I would like it to clear the existing data in "Summary", to allow for deletions in "Eligible" or "Ineligible".
I'm trying to set up conditional formatting to show when an employee is both scheduled to be working for the current date, and is trained in a particular task.
I have a spreadsheet called "Training" for all of the tasks that employees can be trained in, with the employee names in each row, and the task names at the top of each column. The intersection of an employee's row with a task's column will have an "X" if the employee is trained in the task. This is the spreadsheet that I'd like to be formatted; if the employee is trained and also scheduled to be working, I'd like to the "X" to change to a different color.
There are separate spreadsheets within the same workbook for the schedule. This is a bit more complex since the since each week of the schedule has its own spreadsheet within the workbook; each spreadsheet is named for the Saturday of the week it is for, such as "06-07". I've been able to successfully have other formulas in the workbook auto-adjust to the current week's schedule by using variations on the TODAY function (something like INDIRECT("'"&(TEXT(TODAY()-MOD(WEEKDAY(TODAY(),1),7),"mm-dd"))), but I'm not sure how to incorporate this into conditional formatting. On each schedule sheet, there is a column for each day of the week and a row for each employee. The cell for a given day will contain the employee's schedule if they are scheduled, or it will be blank if they are not scheduled. So, the conditional formatting formula would just need to check to see if the appropriate cell was blank or not.
I am creating a MIS for my team. But I am now struck while creating dashboard. I have a workbook with 12 raw data spreadsheets for specific months. Now what I want is that in 13th sheet if I select January then 1st cell in 13 sheet will show the value January cell 1 value. However if I select February then 1st cell in 13th sheet will show the value of February cell 1 value.
I have several excel spreadsheets by which I would like to add together certain values in the column with the same columns of all the other excel spreadsheets. So basically, If one of the values are "SELF" , I would like to calculate how many times that value occurs in all the spreadsheets. Any easier way to organize the data to be able to do this also.
I have a master spreadsheet that links to various other spreadsheet for budget figures. I have now created and updated the budgets for the 2008/09 budget year.
It is painstaking to update the links and browse to the new files one at a time and point them to their new folder. Is there a way I can update all of the link workbooks to the new directory in one fell swoop?
I have a workbook with two spreadsheets. One contains customer information. The other line items and shipping information. I would like to pull the customer number over to the line items spreadsheet. Both spreadsheets have the order number, but note there is a new line for every item in an order on the line items sheet. How do I accomplish this?
The company deals with Machine services, we maintain, service and brake-fix machine problems, the machines are manufactured my ourselves and there are approximately 15 different machines.
We have a Field Service spreadsheet that is filled in by all service engineers for every job they go on, this is filled in with information like:-
Serial Number Machine Type Hours Run Time Reason for Visit Reported Problem etc, etc
All the forms are identical so all the fields are identical
Field Service Record Spares 2013 Master Rev4 (2).xlsx (this is the correct file). The forms are then saved on a central server folder and stored in month order.
Is there a way of creating a master excel sheet to gather all the information from all the Field Service spreadsheets which would then allow me to search all sheets by serial number or fault, without me having to copy and paste all the information into the master sheet??
We have 10 service engineers and each fills out 1 sheet per job per week, so a 4 week job will have 4 sheets for 1 engineer. an engineer could go on 5 jobs in 1 week and would therefore fill out 5 sheets. so we could be looking at in excess of 500 Field Service spreadsheet per year.
I currently have a macro that can be used by multiple spreadsheets. Is there that I can execute the macro within any specific spreadsheet without saving it in each spreadsheet. I just want to place it in a general spot so that in case there is modifications, I only have to change it in one place.
I have created with most of it being done by Austrada (who has done a great job) code to copy multiple spreadsheets into 1 spreadsheet. We have run into a error Run Time Error '9'. Subscript out of range.

I have 5 sheets in my workbook and I need to find out if a string exists in any of them. The string would always be in column L of the work sheet. I have searched many places but cant seem to get anything to work, is this possible?
I am attempting to amalgamate several (100+) spreadsheets into a single spreadsheet. The data is very simple (only three columns, several rows). I have written a simple macro to copy 5 spreadsheets (called TIMESHEET1, TIMESHEET2 etc) into 1 spreadsheet called AMALGAMATED TIMESHEETS. I would like to expand this using a FOR - NEXT loop if possible - or any other way that someone can think of! I cannot use the variable TIMESHEETx as this is not accepted......
Is there a way to automate the importing of macros into a list of files ? I have a number of files that I want to add some code to and was wondering if this could be automated as opposed to adding the code to each file manually as it's going to be a regular job.
I've written a routine to loop through the list of files and open them, I just want to know how, if possible, i can automatically import the required macros.
I am trying to find a code that will allow me to generate multiple sheets depending on what is selected in one specific column. I have found a code that is perfect for this however I can't seem to set the range. For example instead of copying all of column headings I only need to copy up to column AN2.
Is there a way to lock and unlock multiple excel spread sheets with only one password at one go? For example if I have 5 sheets, I would like to be able to lock and unlock Sheets 2-5 with one password at one go while leaving sheet 1 unprotected. Do not want to type a pwd for each sheet.
My problem is automating a process that takes information from a single column with a range of D7:D77 in 22 spreadsheets and places this information in a summary spreadsheet as rows corresponding to the names of each spreadsheet. This is within the same workbook.
For example say spreadsheet A1 has a column from D7:D77 I would like this information in a summary spreadsheet with the row titled A1 and D1:D77 transposed. This would then be repeated for the remaining spreadsheets
I have built a timsheet template which I intend to issue to c.140 personnel in my company to fill in for the month of May. On receipt of these timesheets, I will save them all in one, specified folder. I would then like to consolidate the total number of hours worked by adding cell N53 from each timesheet received. Is there any macro/ VB script which can add the contents of a particular cell (N53 in this case) from all the spreadsheets contained within a particular folder?
