Calculate The Total Time Users Spend On A Spreadsheet Per Month
Aug 10, 2009I have a simple VBS script that puts the username & current time in columns. When the user saves that time is also placed into a column.
I would like to be able to calculate the amount of time a user has spent on the spreadsheet for the current month & if possible the total time all users have spent on the spreadsheet this months.
Multiple Users To One Spreadsheet?
Mar 5, 2013We have a place where all our documents are stored. We have a log where we all log in what we're working on. Our trouble is, if one person has it opened nobody else can add their items to it. Is there anyway to have multiple people be able to open and enter their work for the day, save and close it out?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAdd-ins & Multiple Spreadsheet Users
May 29, 2009I've created a model that uses an add-in to calculate otherwise cumbersome formulas, and 4 or so people need to access this model at any given time. It's saved (along with the add-in) in a public folder on our network drive. Everyone is able to access the model, and is able to load the add-in directly from that folder, but the cells that use the add-in point to where the add-in is stored locally on my drive (C:Documents and SettingsmeApplication DataMicrosoftAddIns) and thus they are not able to use the add-in functions without redirecting every reference to me with references to their add-ins (basically just by finding and replacing every 'me' with 'them' in those cells at this point). So I guess what I'm wondering is how do I make it so the add-in is 'universal' (instead of local) such that as long as each user has the add-in loaded they can fire up the model and use the needed functions.

Sep 11, 2007I have a speadsheet, and at the moment, another spreadsheet access it via a vb code. but i have 3 - 5 agents needing it sometimes at the same time. All that happens, is the agents excel sheet passes some info to the server sheet, so the vb codes opens and closes it. So only one person can do it at the same time.. but i need this so anyone of the agents can enter info via the vb code.
When i tested it, it asked me when i opened it, if i wanted to save what the last person did, I need that not to come up, so really its like the sheet is always open, but not... and lines are added. The info is added to the same sheet, and line by line.

Spreadsheet That Allows Users To Select Items From A Validated Data List
Mar 25, 2009I am making a spreadsheet that allows users to select items from a validated data list. Each item in the list has a numeric value in an adjacent column. When the user is entering data they will select from a drop down of the data list in column "A" and I would like to have the numeric value that corresponds with their selection to then autofill in column "B". I have tried VLOOKUP and IF formulas but cannot seem to get anything to work.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUse Of On Time To Kick Inactive Users
Apr 16, 2014I use the 'on time' function to kick users out of a shared workbook after 30 minutes of inactivity (i.e. no cells updated). Technically it works, as it does kick out the users.
However the time after which it does so seems to bear no relation to the time I have instructed. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer! If it is was always longer, I would be happy that there is an error in my code somewhere (i.e. the time value is resetting on an unexpected event that I need to find and alter).
Select Data From Spreadsheet Column If Condition In 2nd Spreadsheet At Same Time Is Met
Aug 11, 2013I have two spreadsheets, one gives me the beginning and end of civil twilight as a measure of day vs. night. The spreadsheet has Date/Time in the first column, and the value 45 in the 2nd column when it is night. The second spreadsheet has also 2 columns with date/time and body temperatures of a squirrel. I want to get basic statistics (mean and standard deviation) of the squirrel's nocturnal body temperature, that is for times when it is night (value 45). The tricky part is that Date/Time of both spreadsheets are different. The procedure has to recognize that the date/time of body temperature lies between the beginning and end of the value 45 blocks of the first spreadsheet.

Apr 23, 2013I'm trying to identify a way of setting up a booking system for some meeting rooms we have at work. Always looking for a way of simplifying something that soaks up one of my colleagues time.
I read this post about a golf booking system and it looks like it could be adapted to suit, I can imagine a different worksheet for each room and the fields for entry on choosing the timeslot being the meeting title, who booked and a contact number and the slot showing the meeting name when hovered over possibly.
I noticed a similar thread about Outlook, I know nothing about this sort of stuff within Outlook and not sure it may be possible. I am just in my infancy with hyperlinks and macros and do not feel confident enough to start there as I do not know where to begin. Keen to learn and would love to figure out and play around within a program; learn best this way.
Save Macro For Multiple Users
Apr 6, 2009When saving a file, you get a popup with a suggested path. I need to find a macro that will either offer a suggested file name based on a cell's date value (a1) and a suggested path (to the desktop) for any user that uses the spreadsheet - or simply will save the file using the cell value as the name to the user's desktop.
Each user will have their own version of the file, to save to their own desktop. The macro will need to overcome the issues that each user's path to their desktop will be unique since each will have logged in to the window's session with their own profile.
Multiple Users & Accounts Sheets
Jan 22, 2010I’ve thought up a workbook with four sheets named “Employees Summary”, “EMP001”, “EMP002”, “EMP003” and a number of customer account sheets. Customer account sheets are named by their account numbers.
Now for the hard part. I will have three employees. All of us will have to login to the workbook with a username and password. Usernames would be. Administrator, EMP001, EMP002, EMP003. You should be able to change your password at any time.
All sheets will be visible to the administrator. Employees will only be able to see their respective “EMP” sheet and "Employee Summary" sheet. the rest is hidden. And the really hard part Every employee will enter all their transactions for the day into their respective sheets....

View 4 Replies View RelatedError Log On Network For Multiple Users
Mar 13, 2008I am creating an error log as a text file for my application. Since it is being used by many different users, I decided to keep it logged in a specific folder (that is protected) on our network.
I have tested the code and it works, even if I have the log file open when I run the module, it still writes to the log file and saves (as long as I don't save the opened log file after the module runs)
What I am worried about is when 2 or more users are trying to write to the log file at the same time. I wanted to add something that checks if the file is open, and if it is, wait a second or two and then try to write to it again. Maybe try it a few times?
Below is my sample code.
Note that I am using the log creation in another module.
Sub datatopass()
LogInformation Worksheets("Email"). Range("L2").Value & "|" & _
Application.UserName & "|" & _
Worksheets("Email").Range("M2").Value & "|" & _
Worksheets("Email").Range("N2").Value & "|" & _

Share With Multiple Users Allowing Macros
Oct 9, 2008I have a workbook that I would like to share and allow multiple users to add and make changes at the same time. However, the workbook is full of macros that really need to run. Is this possible? The workbook is written in excel 2003.
If this is not possible then is it possible to share the workbook in a similar fashion but not allow any other users to make changes, but update their workbook with the changes that I make?
Multiple Users Updating Same Sheet Simultaneously?
Jul 17, 2013I have a workbook with a list of drawing numbers (with customer, date, author etc.). New drawing numbers and their associated row of information are entered onto the sheet...
..HOWEVER, multiple users can be at least viewing and potentially entering information simultaneously.
I have written code where multiple people can view the same read only file, but not edit it and it be updated.
It seems quite unlikely, but is there anyway of 'live' updating a workbook whilst multiple people are viewing it? Or at least notifying other users when the sheet has been updated?
Multiple Users With Passwords And Admin Can View All Of Them
May 28, 2014The problem - there are multiple users, each one has its own excel file, but it has to be password protected. I assume there is a simple VBA script or something. I found something here - User name and password to open excel file . I guess I don't need it to be that complicated. I haven't gotten it to work yet, so I can't tell if it's what I need.
Also there is an Admin or whatever that has to view all of the users excel files in one excel file. Is this even possible?
Allowing Users To View Multiple Sheets Once Signed In?

Admin should be able to view/edit all cells on all sheets.

Compile Data From Multiple Users Based On Criteria
Aug 18, 2011I have a few people all entering in data into excel, since they cannot be all in one sheet they each have their own copy. I would like to be able to extract all data where column P reads "Red" from each users spreadsheet and then delete the corresponding lines from their spreadsheet (end of day activity)
The Sheets will be named
FDEntryU1AM.xlsm
FDEntryU2AM.xlsm
FDEntryU3AM.xlsm
FDEntryU4AM.xlsm
[Code] .......
I will then need to do the same in another workbook for all items Labeled Blue, but that of course will be same code with just an item replaced.
The idea is after they close up the person overseeing the data can import all at once and leave the users with fresh empty workbooks.
Sharing Workbook With Multiple Users Entering Data Simultaneously
Feb 2, 2013My Workbook contains several UserForms in which employees will be entering hours and activities on a daily basis. In the UserForm, they select their department and enter hours for each specific type of work/activity that shows up for that department in the userform. They click the submit button and all the data (date, name, department, type of work and hours) is added to a database table in another sheet, which in turn feeds a number of reports.
I need to be able to have anywhere from 20 to 100+ employees enter their hours on a daily basis, many of them at the same time, all from different locations (within the network of the client's system), using the same UserForms.
We've experimented with Google Drive, but that seems not to be the solution. It kind of works, but is not secure (it installs a copy of the entire workbook on the users system and then synchs the data back to the server upon "save") and way too cumbersome. I've heard of SharePoint, but not every client has that installed (and frankly I don't know how it works).
Create Master File With Macro Built In That Will Allow Multiple Users To Use It At Once
Feb 7, 2014I am trying to create a master file, with a macro built in, that will allow multiple users to use it at once. The macro is to open a dilouge(sp sorry) box showing the contents of a specific folder, allow the user to selct one of the sheets, then copy and paste the set details from the hidden tab on this sheet (All sheets will be the same barring title), append the details to the master list in the first empty row.
I've got this far thus
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
'
' Modify this folder path to point to the files you want to use.
FolderPath = "My Folder name here"
' Set the current directory to the the folder path.
ChDrive FolderPath
[Code] .....
So I can copy the row, but I can't get the first part to open .
