I have 2 workbooks open and I want to set up formulas from one linking to the other. When I toggle on the task bar between the 2 workbooks they replace each other within the same window so I can only see one workbook at a time. How do I set it up so I can have 2 separate windows open at the same time, one with each workbook in it? I tried 'side by side' in one window but the viewing area is too small.
View 9 RepliesAny way to open a single instance of excel in two different windows. I use multiple monitors, and I like to have one worksheet maximized on one screen, and another worksheet maximized on the other, but when both worksheets are open in the same instance of excel this does not seem possible. Also, I don't want to use two separate instances, because then I can't paste special from one worksheet to the other.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been using the following bit of code to run a macro at the specified time:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Application .OnTime TimeValue("12:00:00"), "GetData"
End Sub
The GetData sub executes a shell script and then pulls data from the result. The problem is that the macro runs 140+ times, and so I get 140 windows popping up and the system practically stops. I can't figure out why this is happening, as there are no loops or any sort of repetition in the code. Any help is greatly appreciated as this problem occurs with more than just the one spreadsheet.
With excel 2013 you're now able to open multiple windows or views of the same workbook. However when a workbook is saved with multiple windows open, the next user to open the spreadsheet will also open it with multiple windows. Which can be very annoying when most people work off of one window vs. multiple. Is there a way to disable saving the multiple windows or a macro to force open excel in 1 window?
View 2 Replies View RelatedEach time I click on an Excel file the worksheet will open up within an existing Excel worksheet that I have open. This is frustrating when you are working with two monitors or screens (laptop screen and additional monitor) and want to view each worksheet separately in separate screens. What I end up doing, which is not efficient, is I'll open the second worksheet which will open up in an existing worksheet that I have open and then I'll close it, and then launch a separate Excel worksheet and pull open the recent file and I'll have two open worksheets (not within same Excel worksheet I already have open). This allows me to grab and pull one worksheet in a separate screen and leave the other as I need both open on two monitors.
Question: is there a way to default Excel when opening or double clicking an Excel file to automatically open in a separate instance of Excel and not in an existing open worksheet?
I have 10 very large workbooks that are all setup in the same format. In column Z is a numerical value from 1 to 83. I have been trying to filter the sheet and then copy one at a time from 1 to 83 but that takes a LONG time especially when there is 10 workbooks to do.
Is there anyway I can run a function or macro or something that would just automatically look down the column Z and put each row into a it's own workbooks?
I have attached a sample of what the workbooks look like right now.

I need to separate row data from one workbook into separate workbooks based on cell data. Currently I filter the data, copy and paste it to a new workbook and save it. It's a tedious process and was hoping to find a way to automate it. I have attached a sample file. In this instance, I would like a separate workbook for the filtered data in Column 1 and then all the row data gets copied to new workbook. So all of Pennsylvania data would get copied to new workbook, then all of the Michigan data gets copied to a new workbook. I have also attached an example of the end result that I need.

I have a Sharepoint site which seems to be set up incorrectly as I cant even do a webquery with it, or sync Excel with it.
I want to be able to open up the Excel workbooks held in this one dir within Sharepoint take some data out of it pop it into another Excel workbook and move on down to the next one!.
So far all the code I have managed to locate causes errors, so I have managed to get a feed from the Sharepoint site which gives me a hyperlink to all the docs (as these can change). What I now need is some code to run through all the hyperlinks open the doc (if it ends in xls or xlsx as some are PDF's!) take the info copy it out and move on to the next one.
What I'm trying to achieve.I'm trying to create a toolbar to have visible in excel which provides me with shortcuts to a selection of functions and some other useful documents.
I've created a document "Toobar 1.xls" in column B of which I have the file locations of the documents I want to open, the documents are moved from time to time and it is easier for other users to update the spreadsheet than vb.As you can see below I've written a piece of code to open up a document, I've created a function because there are a few documents I want to create links to and thought it would be cleaner to do it like this. This code is stored in "Module1" of "Toolbar 1.xls".
I've then created a new toolbar in excel and added a custom menu item and allocated it the macro "Pension_Credit_Calc".
When I run the code from within "Toolbar1.xls" it works fine, however if I try to run it from another workbook I get "run time error 1004". I suspect it's probably something to do with where I've stored my code,
PS. The reason I have not simply created a shortcut in the quicklaunch bar is that I will also be altering the workbooks once opened.
Code.
VB:
Function OpenUp(FileLocation) As String
Workbooks.Open (FileLocation)
End Function [code]....
I'd like to create a macro which will

I would like to read data from Worbooks through VBA code and UserForm without opening them. Is it possibe?
I know I can read data from Workbooks without opening them if I write this formula directly into a Worksheet cell:
='C:Documents and SettingsUserNameDocuments[FILE_NAME.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1
The problem is it won't work for my task. I just need to analyze with UserForm Controls and For Each loops through many cells and many big Workbooks.
If I try:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim aaa as String
aaa = 'C:Documents and SettingsUserNameDocuments[FILE_NAME.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1
End Sub
OR
Without opening the file if I try:
With Workbooks("C:Documents and SettingsjohnMy DocumentsmProjectfilename.xls").Worksheets("sheet1")
For Each thing ...
....
Next
End With
In both cases it gives me - Compile error: Syntax error, Expected expression.
I can also say that I definately don't mistake path, workbook's or worksheet's name
------------------------
If you're not quite sure that my explanations are clear I wrote some more below:
Reasons i want this:
It's just a lot of traffic/memory to Open/Activate/Close many Workbooks/Worksheets from 10MB files for just taking one or a few values to an UserForm :->
What I do:
I'm using several Workbooks to manage data. One of them consists of the Macro code (ThisWorkbook.) and the rest of the Workbooks are just tables with data I use. On UserForm with controls such as (ComboBoxes, CommandButtons, ListBoxes, Labels etc.) I find, visualize, compare and copy just the data I need from other Workbooks to ThisWorkbook(on a new worksheet) :->
The idea of my task is:
1. I have 10 files, each of them 10-20MB with data.
2. Now, I'm making 1 file with VBA code which analyse these 10 files and displays the information in it.
The general idea is that these 10 files are well structured but have many columns and rows and it's not convinient each time I need to find 3 numbers I need to open 10MB file, scroll 5 minutes, copy/paste the numbers, close the file...i just want an UserForm with several controls to do this job
Each of these 10MB files consist of let's say about 10000 rows and 100 columns. Between these rowns and columns there's data (or empty cell). Everytime I use one of these files I need different information. So, if I use the formula you gave me, I should copy exactly the same Workbooks in one file but with formulas.
With the macro code I just go through these rows and columns and find the specific data I need with For Each loops. Everytime I need different data. With 4 ComboBoxes I just select an year, a name, a code (by rows) and another code (by columns) and I get the needful info.
This info could be in one file, could be in many files, it could be in HZ45 cell (file 1), it could be in C5 cell (file 2), the next time I would need file1,2,3,4,5 with cells GF45, J7, KK88, DR8, Y90 etc. etc. etc. So, the problem is that every time I need different information from these 10MB files, each of them consist of 10000*100 cells*10 files = 10 0000 000 cells which I have to write the formula you gave me and it will become one 100mb excel file, which is no good.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWork have just upgraded from 97 to 03 (very with the times ) and when opening multiple workbooks, 03 behaves differently.
With 97 I could select many sheets from the open window and excel would open them in alphabetical order. Now we've moved to 03, the order seems to be completely at random. It's a real pain, as the set up of the workbooks we use has everything linked together. In order to keep everything working sweet, various groups of workbooks need to be open at once. Previously it was easy to find a workbook in the task bar, but now they're scattered everywhere. We don't use a set list of workbooks - the selection we need to open varies quite a bit, but there's usually at least 20 or so.
I have a macro that at the moment just opens a workbook SpreadsheetA.xls,
Sub OpenA
Workbooks.Open Filename:=C:DocumentsSpreadsheetA.xls, UpdateLinks:=0
End Sub
SpreadsheetA.xls has a macro called "ExpectedRun" which is currently operated by clicking a commandbutton.
What is the code to run the "ExpectedRun" Macro in Sub OpenA?
Eventually I'll be opening a bunch of these workbooks, each with its own unique "ExpectedRun" macro, so is there any special command to call on the "ExpectedRun" macro for specifically the opened workbook?
I was wondering if anybody could catch an error in the following code. I have a file, let's call it a "Guide" which is opened by user and at this time this file has only one purpose - to help user choose the program. After clicking on the "Choose Program" command button, an Inputbox appears where the user types in a program. Then the code should open the file with this program and this is pretty much it. But something is not working with the code below, and I do not see anything wrong with it after looking at it for so long. It just does not do antthing. how to handle the "Choosing" option
Private Sub CmdBttn_ChooseProgram_Click()
Dim sFilename As String
On Error Goto ErrorHandler
sFilename = "Approval_" & Application.InputBox("Input Program")
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:Documents and SettingsjsmithDesktop" & sFilename & ".xls"

I have created a workbook for a co-worker. The way it works is data comes from an outside source with customer names in Column A and their Account Reps in Column H. This data is pasted into a template that I created with a very simple macro recording that filters on each Account Rep and is copied and pasted each into a different workbook. Then I had to go through each workbook (because of the info being sensitive) and create a macro that deletes the unwanted data because when the data is pasted it transfers all of the data and you can unfilter to see the full sheet.
I know there is a better way to extract data on each change in column H into a new workbook. Does anyone know how to do that? Another issue is the original data is not very clean so there are blank rows in the list. For Example:
