In VBA, how do open 2 new windows, and allow for the fact the file name will change (or name the new windows the current file name)? My current file name is "Metal.xls"
Here is what the code looks like now:
Windows("Metal.xls:2").Activate
Windows("Metal.xls:1").Activate
I compared data between excel worksheets all the time, well recently my computer was upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 and since then I have not been able to figure out how to have an Excel file to open in the Excel window selected(or last active window) when I have more than one workbook open. Is there a way to do this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am a file that I want to open with VBA, however, the name of the file is refreshed everyday and the name change everyday as well. (Ex. on 5Jun, I would want the file named ABC0406.out, and on 6Jun, the file I would want would be ABC0506.out)
Noticed that the "ABC" and the ".out" do not change. It's just the date is one "weekday" before. I've tried the "dateserial" formula but can't get it to work.
Moving between different sheets changes the procedure window, which is a good thing, but can also can be error prone and annoying to search through several windows searching for the procedure or module currently working on. Is there a setting somewhere to prevent VBE from changing the current procedure window?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to create a macro to open a file in Excel 2007. My problem is that the filename changes often. After updates are made the filename is changed and the old file is moved to a backup folder. So, there is only one similar file in the folder

The path is "C:Documents and SettingsahaynijDesktop".
I receive data for time windows on jobs. my issue is 10-11 time frames appear before 8-9 time frames when I move data into a Pivot Table. This happens because the data I receive does have "08" signifying 8 so the "1" in 10 causes the 10-11 to appear before the 8-9. Is there a formula I could use to make this change? Currently if I want to view items in sequential order I have to go into the file and add a 0 before any jobs that start at 8 or 9am

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a way that I can make an excel sheet and save it in a way that when it's opened the person JUST sees the cells in a really simple window...
Not sure if I'm confusing people in how I explain this... but basically I don't want it to show the scroll bars, the A B C D etc and 1 2 3 4 etc, the tool bars... etc. JUST the specified cells in a sheet.
So, I've been trying to work out a distribution list. So far, my research has shown me how to code to be able to send a message through outlook by typing content into a spreadsheet, but I'm trying to find code that will simply open a new message window in outlook. I don't want to send it through excel as I've found to be possible b/c outlook is asking for permission to send to each recipient on the mailing list and we have a fairly large staff here, so clicking that button 20 times to allow the email to go through is more labor intensive than just verifying who's on the distribution list and sending.

I am trying to get the caption that is displayed on each window of all the open workbooks. I am using the code below to loop through all the workbook windows, get their handles and finally display their respective captions on a Msgbox.I am having 2 problems:
1- The code loops only once instead of once for each open workbook !
2- The Msgbox displays an empty string instead of the workbook caption !
If I am not mistaken, problem 2 is due to the fact that the Class name"EXCEL7" used in the code refers to a worksheet and not to a workbook. The trouble is I can't figure out what a Workbook Class name is so that I can use it in the FindWindowEx Function

I have a userform with several buttons on, each doing seperate tasks, three of the buttons however are used to load a workbook stored elsewhere in our central data storage drive. Loading these workbooks is not the problem, the problem is when loading these they load up behind the userform and not in a new window.

The code snippet below is to import a sheet into my main template. Right now, the code looks for the file in the same directory as the template, if the file is not there, a message box pops up advising the user when OK is pressed (see red lines), the workbook closes. However, in order to make my program more user friendly, I would like to add some more functionality to the code, so I would like to have a windows file browser window pop up where the user can browse for the file and select it in whatever directory it is.
Can this window be created in VBA?
Sub ImportFile()
Dim sourceFile As String
Dim firstDestFile As String
sourceFile = "Client Data Dashboard Template.xlsm"
[Code] .........
Is there a way to do this?
a) run a code that will create a pop-up window with the question, "Can you show me where the CODEMAP.txt" file is?"
b) then the user will locate the file in a pop-up window and be able to click/select the file and there are "ok" and "cancel" buttons.
c) once the "codemap.txt" file is selected, the vba code will automatically change this file to "codemap.csv" so that it will open in excel (temporarily). This file can be placed anyway, even on the desktop because it won't be needed later. This is only temporary.
d) Then on the "codemap.csv" file, everything from sheet 1, cell b1 to cell b700 are copied and pasted to sheet two of this macro
The codemap.csv file can then be deleted
