I have two open workbooks, each having a single worksheet which includes a command button. The VBA code for each button performs tasks on its worksheet, then activates the other (inactive) workbook. I want to set the value of a variable in the button_click code in Workbook1 before activating Workbook2, and then use the value of the variable in the button_click code in Workbook2.
Declaring the variable as 'Public' doesn't work because the variable scope remains within its own workbook project. I must use two workbooks rather than two worksheets in one workbook.
VB: Private Sub Workbook_Open() Call Meetdata End Sub
It calls this macro which is in a standard module:
VB: Public firstvariablename As String Public secondvariablename As String Sub Meetdata() regionname = InputBox("Enter the name of the Region.", "Region Name: North, South, East, West") meetdate = InputBox("Enter the date of the Meet.", "Date of Meet") End Sub
This set-up should make the variables available to all the other macros in the workbook. I have two other macros that need to use the values stored in these two variables that are entered into the two 'InputBox' statements. These two macros are in the same module and follow the 'Meetdata' sub. When I run the first macro, it recognizes the variables. When I run the second macro for some reason the variables are not recognized. To test the values returned by the variables, I placed the following code at the end of the first macro and again at the beginning of the second macro .
At the end of the first macro, the MsgBox returns the correct values stored in the variables which means that when the macro completes its run, the variables still hold their values. When I run the second macro with the MsgBox at the beginning, the Msgbox returns a blank. Somehow, the variables have been re-set to a null value. I can't figure out why the variables have been re-set to null. [URL]
I am using the following code to open a userform. Once the userform is open, the user has the option to choose a continue button or a cancel button. If the user is choosing continue, the code is not working (it always skips to the "else" portion of my "if" statement. I can't figure out why it is doing this.
I have a userform that is called within a sub in module. I declared a public string, "divisonb", in the module. When the userform's ok button is clicked, I define the public string through a "select case" method.
At the end of the private sub for the ok button click I have this:
[Code].....
a message box comes up with the correct string for divisonb. After the sub ends and it returns to the module I have the following:
[Code] ....
When this message box pops up, it is blank. Somehow, divisonb was redifined as blank within that 2 lines of code. All my other public strings are returned to the module with their correct values.
I have some code in which I need to pass the value of "j" from one module to another. "j" is declared in Sheet1 (Data) under the Microsoft Excel Objects.
I am trying to pass a variable called "Filter" from a Private Sub to a Module but keeping coming up with a zero value in the Module. I tried to make the variable Global but that didn't seem to work.
I want the buttons to run a seperate piece of code to start, but then all buttons run a similar piece of code at the end. I am hoping to be able to pass a variable from the first piece of code each button runs into the section of code that all share (which I have done as a seperate macro)
I've been trying to pass a variable from the OnChange- event on one sheet to a macro located in module one, but it seems I cant (or havent figured out how anyway). Anyone knows how to do it? The code here give me the error "RefreshSetup(WhatSheet) cannot be found"
Alternativly, maybe someone can come up with a better solution on my entire problem. 3 sheets with webquery. All should be handled in the same way (copy-pasting only), but source and destination-sheet differs. My big problem is if two queries are done at the same time, they conflict with eachother, and data from one query is copied on to the wrong sheet.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Not Running Then RunWhen = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1) WhatSheet = "HtmlTmp" Application.OnTime RunWhen, "Module1.RefreshSetup(WhatSheet)" Else RunWhen = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 3) WhatSheet = "HtmlTmp" Application.OnTime RunWhen, "Module1.RefreshSetup(WhatSheet)" End If End Sub
I am having a problem with a run time 13 error on a variable assignment. The variable is being assigned a value from a cell that contains a formula, and I am suspicous that perhaps the mismatch is coming thru this. The de-bugger stops on:
Area = ActiveSheet.Cells(count + 41, 8). Here is the complete code (with all my poor coding skills!)
Sub Reservoir() Dim Inflow As Single Dim Withdrawal As Single Dim Evap As Single Dim Area As Single Dim Spill As Single Dim Stor_1 As Single Dim Stor_2 As Single Dim count As Integer Dim max As Integer max = ActiveSheet.Cells(9, 4) For count = 1 To max * 12 Stor_1 = ActiveSheet.Cells(count + 40, 11) Inflow = ActiveSheet.Cells(count + 41, 4) Withdrawal = ActiveSheet.Cells(count + 41, 6)..........................
I currently have a userform which inputs data into two cells, the third then multiplies these two cells together, which is all honky dory. It works, 2 x 2 = 4. But when i put 0.6 for example it really doesnt work. 0.6 x 25 = 25. WRONG. My code in the macro is fairly long winded but will paste anyway.
If ComboBox2.Text = "Pounds (£)" Then Sheets("Claims").Range("G16") = TextBox2.Text Else Sheets("Claims").Range("F16") = TextBox2.Text End If
I'm trying to pass a variable from Word to Excel. Basically I have a Word document with a plain text content control in it. I'll have users populate this field. I know how to create a reference to that content contol in Word VBA that'll tell me what's in that content control (eg.
I have the following codes in my spreadsheet, they are pretty much the same and both used to work perfectly. However, now the first code returns a Type Mismatch '13' on line beginning mynum= and the second one works perfectly.
I want to know how to index a drop down list to be used for calculations.
Up until now I was using
Range("B1").Select 'the cell where the drop down list is ActiveCell.Formula = SiteID 'site id
But for whatever reason it trims a trailing zero from SiteID when setting it in the second line. SiteID is a VBA string.
Indexing it would work, as would preserving the zero so help on either one is appreciated. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;Correction, I lied. I was using this line to set it.
Range("B1").Select 'the cell where the drop down list is ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = SiteID 'site id
I'm just starting to experiment with passing values between workbooks and between modules and so far I've managed to get it working. However, I now can not run the receiving module independently because of the passed value ? Let me explain ...
I use start/end dates within my modules to create date sensitive reports. I have several files (for different departments) and each file has a module called "AbsenceChecker", I have been working on a way to create a Report Master workbook to run and amalgamate the "AbsenceChecker" module from each department.
Sub RunAllLoaders() Dim AbsenceStart As Date, AbsenceEnd As Date Dim PassVar1 As Date, PassVar2 As Date Dim DateStart As Date, DateEnd As Date On Error Resume Next 'start of data validation script continued in private sub. GetValidDates FromDate:=PassVar1, _ ToDate:=PassVar2, _ MinDate:=DateSerial(2007, 1, 1), _ MaxDate:=DateSerial(2007, 12, 31) Excel.Application.EnableEvents = False Workbooks.Open Filename:="R:RostersRosterALPHA.xls" Application.Run "RosterALPHA.xls!AbsenceChecker", PassVar1, PassVar2 End Sub...................
I have completed a long macro, and at the end of the macro I want to close a few workbooks automatically without saving. These workbooks have been assigned variable names.
Is there a command line I can use, that will not prompt the user to save?
I have data spanning many files which are named with the date on which they were created (so there are 31 files for August). For example: PL080107, PL080207, PL080307, PL080407...)
I'm trying to compile all of my data into one workbook, and have the macro to append each file to a list. Now I need the macro to either OPEN each file, or ACTIVATE each file so that the rest of the Macro can grab the necessary data.
I say Open or Activate, because I can MANUALLY Open a full month's worth of files if it's easier code. If not, I would like it to open and close each workbook on its own.
I have over 7 month's worth, so opening 31 files 7 times is better than opening over 200 files individually!
i make a lot of "trending" files at work where i link a cell to a seperate workbook where all workbooks are in the same folder.
these workbooks all have the same name with the date at the end
example: workbook 06-01-2011 workbook 06-02-2011 all the way to workbook 12-31-2011
usually i use find replace to change the date one at a time, but doing that 365 (x how many cells i have referencing) times is redundant
i have seein INDIRECT of the cell changes but nothing for the workbook name chaning
here is what i am trying to do: ='C:File Path[WorkbookX.xls]Sheet1'!A1 where the X WorkbookX is variable (the date at end of file name)
i have a list of all workbook names or just the dates and would like to do something like:
=D1&$A$1 where D1 is the full path name or ='C:File Path[Workbook"D1".xls]Sheet1'!A1 where D1 is the date name
using excel 07 i prefer not to use a macro for how i am doing this but if a macro is the only way then i cannot have it actually open the files to pull the data. i prefer no macro since i set it up for future dates so when the new file is created it automatically updates the reference.
my end result i usually have something like A1=referenced cell from first workbook, A2= cell from 2nd book, etc. sometimes B1 would = a different cell from first workbook and so on if i am trending multiple cells from the workbooks
I'm trying to create a VBA macro which will open external workbooks in a specific folder. thes workbooks will have filenames which are identical to the value in cell B1 of my active workbook. Once open, I would use indirect to pull certain results from that external workbook and then close it. I have a separate macro already which runs through the list. I found a few examples online but they don't seem to work.
What I have is a master file that needs to pull info from other sources (a simple copy and paste) those files are called Inventory_xxxx.xlsm . Inside the master file, there are cells with the number of the inventory.
What i need is a way to tell excel to check what number is in the cell, open the files with that number, get the info from the files and paste it back in the master file... and the part that i consider the trickiest, a way to loop it.
For example, lets say i have 2248 in cell A10, it should open Inventory_2248.xlsm copy the contents from cell N4, O4, P4, Q4, R4 and S4(Inventory File) into N10,R10,S10,T10 and U10 (Master file) respectively then in A11, there could be a 2250 so it should open the 2250 file get the info, paste it and so on.....
Now I don't even know if this is do-able or just impossible, been fiddling with various codes to no avail.
I have several workbooks (5) with the same variables (columns- A:Q) but with a changing amount of rows (2:n, not including the headers). Each row corresponds to a date range (usually a week) for a particular person (up to 40 people) plus a few other values.
I would like to have a way of "merging" or "compiling" the 5 "seed" workbooks into 1 "master" worksheet. Where rows 2:n of each of the 5 "seed" workbooks are added to the master without any duplication of the same name-date range combination. Also, the master worksheet should not include the rows which only contain a name and date range but for which all the other variables are zero or missing.
Each "seed" workbook would have a button that sends the data over to the "master" worksheet.
Is this a really difficult project? Feasible for someone with near to zero VBA experience?
I attached 3 files to show you what I mean. The 2 "seed" files are merged into the "master" file. Please note that in the files only 2 names are used, but the "seed" files could contain any combination of 40 some names. Also note that the length of rows which contains data in the "seed" files is variable, although it should not be longer than 16 rows + the header row.
How do I pass values between procedures? I have two command buttons in the worksheet.
If I have a procedure A that asks user to input a value "x", when a command button is pressed. Then another command button is pressed that passes the value onto another procedure B, which iterates a msgbox as many times as the number x,
How do I pass that value x from one procedure to another?
I am building a tool that uses Pivot Tables (so I can't use track changes) and I have found cool code that will insert timestamp and username in the comment when a change occurs. But I need to modify the code to also take the old value and put it into the comment as well. Here is the code to register the change into the comment:
I'd like to know how to send a different value to a cell based on what is selected in the combobox. Like a vlookup, but from within the box. Something like :
I think this is a relatively easy issue, but I don't know how to do it. I call the Sub SortRange in another Sub SortDeliver. A range (ran5) is defined in Sub SortRange that I also need to use in Sub SortDeliver. How do I pass the range or get the second sub to recognize the range?
I've a userform (UserForm1) that on closing will open one of 5 other userforms. Which of the userforms that opens will be determined at runtime, depending on an option a user has previously selected. The name of the userform is held in a cell in a workbook and is opened as follows:
where the value in Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1") is "UserForm3"
UserForm1 contains TextBox1. How can I pass the value in TextBox1 to a textbox in UserForm3 when the name of UserForm3 is held as a variable in a cell in a worksheet?
