Any 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 RepliesI have multiple buyers that use an Excel workbook containing several macros to perform edits on other workbooks they receive via email. Generally, they have the workbook containing the macros open, and they can double-click the workbooks they receive in the email messages to open them, and the macros are available from the "master" workbook.
Recently, however, some of the buyers have been getting new computers running Windows 8 and Office 10. Now when they have the "master" workbook open, and double-click the attached workbook in an email, (Outlook 10), the new workbook opens in a new instance of Excel, and as a result the macros are not available to run on the newly opened workbook.
The work around has been to right-click the attachment and save it to their desktop, and then use the File/Open command from the "master" to open the new file. This is a hassle and takes extra time.
I'm sure I am overlooking a setting somewhere that tells Excel to always open new workbooks using the same instance of Excel, (there are two people using the new systems that aren't having problems, and two that are), but for the life of me I can't find where to set these parameters.
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 RelatedIm having trouble switching between windows that are open in separate instances of excel.
I used to be able to switch easily between these workbooks when they were both being being run in the same instance of excel.
But since having to change it so the workbooks are opened in seperate instances, i cannot get it to work, the code just fails when it trys to activate the first window.
I currently have the below code:
Code:
Sub CloseAndSave()
Application.EnableEvents = True
'//Activate InfoHub workbook and put a tick in the checkbox.
Workbooks("403 InfoHub.xls").Activate
Sheets("HOME PAGE").ToggleButton1.Value = True
[Code]..
Is there anyway to do this?
1) When using the command below, how can I determine what the "XYZ" component could be. I see plenty of examples of it being used to start a MS Word session or Powerpoint but I'd really like to see a definitive list.
At the moment, I'm not even sure what to type into Google that describes this part of the command's argument.
Set target = CreateObject("XYZ.Application")
2) I'm just a frightened noob on this site and I tried to follow the advice on bumping my previous post on this subject, having altered my plea. All I got was a telling-off for being a double-poster and my old old thread sat where it was despite my 'Bump' command. Do you have to have at least one reply before your thread moves?
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 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.
the code always opens a new instance of Outlook even though one may already be open. If left unchecked I may have like 30 instances open if I leave the computer for a few hours. So I was wondering is there some snippet of code I can add in here to check if excel is open first and if so do not open a new instance?
Code:
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
' Change the mail address and subject in the macro before you run it.
With OutMail
.To = "xxxx@live.com"

I am working on an application for a monthly sports tournament that I run. There are three workbooks to this application: the Administration workbook, the Bracket workbook, and the Leaderboard workbook. I currently have a dual monitor setup (extended, not clone) with my laptop in front of me and a large TV on the wall for the players to see.
In order for the players to see the bracket and the leaderboard, I open excel, then I open the Bracket.xlsm workbook, then the Leaderboard.xlsm workbook, and I drag those to the TV. I then open another instance of excel on my laptop, and open the Administration workbook. This stays on my laptop and the players cannot see it.
Here's what I want it to do:
In less words, the administration workbook controls the other two workbooks. Every time a player reports a win/loss, I enter that into the Administration workbook, and that needs to update both the bracket and the leaderboard, so the players can see it on the TV. So, basically, all the data is in the administration workbook, and the other two serve as displays for that data in a format the players can understand.
Here's my problem:
When I run a macro that is supposed to update the other two workbooks, I get an error: "Runtime Error '9': Subscript out of range." I believe this is because of the seperate instances of Excel. Since Bracket and Leaderboard are in a different instance than Administration, it can't 'see' those other two workbooks. Below is the part of the code that deals with these three workbooks: ....
I have a list of names that are mixed and in no order (and need to stay out of order, so not sorting allowed). I need to parse this list to give me the FIRST instance that each name shows up in the list. The one exception is that the first name, cell A1, will be auto-generated from a different workbook, and it is automatically named Name1.
So, in the example spreadsheet, Name1 (cell E2) must equal "Alice". The problem arises on Names2-4. Name2 (cell E3) should be David, Name3 (cell E3)=Jerry, and Name4 (cell E4)=Mark. I tried an array formula:
{=INDEX(A2:A13,MATCH(TRUE,A2:A13<>Name1),0)},
But it is yielding "Jerry" as Name2, when it needs to be Name3. And, of course, this doesn't work on Names3-4 at all. I don't think it matters, but just in case, A2:A13 will be data validation lists.
Find Multiple instances of Numeric Criterion in Row & Return To a Single
Column.
I have a Dynamic Named Range "Data" spanning 10 Columns and many Rows.
Each Row may contain duplicates of the Numeric Criterion.
I would like to find ALL instances of a specific Numeric Criterion across
each single Row in the Dynamic Range "Data" and have the Results returned to
a New Sheet in a single column.
NEW Sheet:
The Numeric Criterion is housed in G5.
The matched criterion should be returned to the New Sheet starting at G7.
Duplicate instances in the same Row should ALL be returned to the same cell
in Column G on the New Sheet.
Sample Data Layout:
Columns I J K L M N O P Q R
Row No.76 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1
Row No.77 2 2 3 2 1 2 2 0 0 0
Row No.78 3 3 3 3 3 0 3 0 3 0
Scenario:
Looking for Numeric Criterion 1 (one).
Expected Results - New Sheet:
Row No.7 Column G (Cell G7) 1111111
Row No.8 Column G (Cell G8) 1
In Row 76 of the Sample Data ALL seven Numeric Criterion of 1 (one) should be
returned to the same cell G7.
In Row 77 of the Sample Data there is only one Numeric Criterion of 1 and it
should be returned to cell G8.
I'd like to use VBA to open 3 workbooks in their own session/instance/etc of Excel 2007. Ideally, there will be one main workbook, that upon opening will subsequently open the other 3 workbooks.
Also, when I open that first main workbook, I will obviously have to enable macros to get any code to run. Is there a way to carry this enabling of macros over to the other sessions to avoid having to enable macros in all 3 other workbooks? (Changing my security settings isn't an option)

I have a worksheet entitled 'Data'. In this worksheet there is a table consisting of 4 columns plus relevant data:
TABLE 1:
Project
Benefit Type
Delivered or Enabled
Benefit
PJ1
Financial
Delivered
Saving of $4M over 24 months.
[code]....
I have been trying to create a formula that will enable me to pull data from the 'benefit' column(column D) so that the cell contents populate in a single cell in a table in a different worksheet.
TABLE 2:
Financial - Delivered
Financial - Enabled
Tech - Delivered
Tech - Enabled
Green - Delivered
Green - Enabled
[code]....
So, as an example, I am hoping that a formula can be created which pulls the text from relevant cells in column D when criteria from columns A, B and C are met e.g. Tech benefits that are Delivered in PJ2 would populate cell E3 ('Tech -Enabled') in Table 2 with:
Continued maintenance of hardware.

Certification and Training tracking.xlsx
I want to create a certification only list on a separate tab of training that has been completed where a certification has been issued (as indicated by a "Y" in the "Certification?" column on the training tracking tab) and then populate from some of the fields vs. all of the fields.
What I have now, only pulls the first occurence, not all occurences. I saw that I could have identified the multiple columns that needed to be populated, but it didn't work either, so I'm fine putting a separate vlookup in each column.

I know you can use delimiters but with spaces between the values I just can't fathom a way forward.
Ive got about 300 different excel files all with the exact same format the only thing that is different is the values in the columns but they are all raw reports dumped into excel.
because I had to run them all seperate for certain reasons is there a way to combine all these files into one file without copy pasteing them all into one sheet.
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.
The same two workbooks open when I open any other workbook. They also open up when I open Excel by itself.

This is the third time I am posting my problem. Please help in by solving my proble. I want to convert single value in a cell in multiple value in the same cell. I also want to define a delimiter in the same cell.
Also don't want to use split function as it creates different cells.
For Example: "34,654, 5667, 566" is a value in the same cell. Excel takes it as a single value, how do I make excel to take it as multiple value in the same cell.

I'm doing our training schedule for 2010. Some course we have are multiple date (ie. September 12 - 13) some are singular (ie. January 9). We have a date column. For the single dates it automatically converts to date format. For the multiple date is stays as text format. this is very confusing when we sort by date as every course that has multiple dates doesn't sort properly (because it's in text format). Is there a practical way to go about doing this, so if someone were to sort by date it would would sort properly -whether it's multiple or single dates? Let me know if anyone has any ideas. I'd prefer not to have 2 columns - column 1 being (course start) and column 2 being (course end)..but not sure if this is possible.
