Opening Multiple Workbooks In Alphabetical Order?
Dec 3, 2012
Work 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 spreadsheet saved with one worksheet with all the results on it and 130 worksheets with calculations on them, each with its' own named tab along the bar at the bottom of the page. What I'd like to know is if it is possible to sort the tabs into alphabetical order so I don't have to roam through up to 130 to find the tab (and it's corresponding worksheet) I'm looking for.

I'm trying to get this formula to work across multiple worksheets. It suppose to list names in alphabetical order. I'm using these define names to get it to work. Also may I have another formula that list unique names in alphabetical order?
Col_A=T(INDIRECT("''"&XWSLST&"'!A"&(2+MOD(S,N))))
N=50
S=ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&(N*ROWS(WSLST))))-1
WSLST=Sheet6!$D$2:$D$5
=IF(ROWS($E$2:E2)<= COUNTIF(Col_A,"?*"),INDEX(Col_A,MATCH(LARGE(COUNTIF(Col_A,">"&Col_A),ROWS($E$2:E2))=S+1,COUNTIF(Col_A,">"&Col_A),0)),"")

how to extract names from a worksheet and put them in another by alphabetical order?
There are 6 “could be more” blocks of data on Monday’s Worksheet, not all rows of each block will be filled. The idea is put the data from Monday WS in List WS without spaces and by alphabetical order. Because my English is not good enough, I attached a file with what I need.

Example Data...
----A---B---C
1---B---1---
2---A---2---
3---E---5---
4---C---4---
5---D---6---
6---G---3---
7---F---6---
I have this formula in cell C1, filled down to C7:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$7,SMALL(IF($B$1:$B$7>=5,ROW($A$1:$A$7)-ROW($A$1)+1),ROWS(C$1:C1))),"")
This creates a list of cells from column A where the correspsonding value in Column B is greater than or equal to 5.
RESULTS:
----A---B---C
1---B---1---E
2---A---2---D
3---E---5---F
4---C---4---
5---D---6---
6---G---3---
7---F---6---
Any way that would generate these cells in alphabetical order making it look like this:
----A---B---C
1---B---1---D
2---A---2---E
3---E---5---F
4---C---4---
5---D---6---
6---G---3---
7---F---6---

For Instance i might have a cell with the value 30KDPA
the one right below this needs to be 30KDPB
then 30KDPC
basically the last letter is going through the alphabetical order. Once it hits Z it should go to AA, AB, AC . Just like an excel file.
If i select the first cell and just drag it down it copies that exact same cell value.

Basically, I have two columns:
In column D I have some postcodes, and in column E I have areas. They are all with their according area, but I have them mixed up.
So: How can I put Column E in alphabetical order so that Column D shifts accordingly.
Example:
POSTCODE1 --- North West
POSTCODE2 --- South East
POSTCODE3 --- North West
I want it to shift them so it ends up like this:
POSTCODE1 --- North West
POSTCODE3 --- North West
POSTCODE2 --- South West

I was wondering if there could be a way for a macro to Look at the column i have in this example and have it end up like the ends up with tab.
I start of with the "starts off with tab", and manually enter letters till i get the ends up with tab.
Basically the macro needs to look at the column and see where the yellow pointers are. From here it should Put letters in alphabetical order starting with A, ( once it hits Z it should go to AA, AB , just lik excel columns are named after Z ).
SO where ever the yellow box is , it should have a new letter in alphabetical order, everything below the yellow box till a new box will be that same letter.
MY example tab of the column finished should explain what i need and help clear any problems i presented here.

I use this formula, but it only works if I provide the first name on the list, otherwise I get 0 in all rows, instead of the unique values in alphabetical order.
Code:
={IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$200;MATCH(TRUE;COUNTIF($A$2:$A$200;"

I have a spreadsheet that I need to open two other workbooks to copy and paste data from.
The name of the two workbooks changes each day, and the location because they are filed in subfolders.
I have the following code, which works to open the first sheet but then comes up with the following error when trying to open the second sheet. "Run-time error '1004: Excel cannot access 'Hub PVA'. The document may be read only or encrypted".
The folder is not encrypted because when I was only opening the second document with the same code, it worked.
The code I am using is:
'DECLARATION
On Error GoTo ERR1:

Workbooks.Open Filename:="G:GENERALTRANSPORTDAILYPLANS"

I am making a macro and I need to extract some data from workbooks. However, I have many workbooks and it would take time to the macro to open and analyze each of them.... is it possible to work with workbooks without opening them?????
For instance, I need to open a workbook and get all rows that contain the word HEXXX..... However, I have about 30 workbooks and it would take forever...

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 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.

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.
