Designing very simple macro, it simply trims of some bits from the spreadsheet.
I paste special the trimmed cells over the top of the existing cells.
The macro works fine on my computer.
I took the code from my computer and put it on the other persons computer. The macro didn't work claiming issue with the paste special.
I am trying to copy one worksheet using the "move/copy" function that is available when you right click a tab name and want to copy the worksheet in the same workbook
The steps I'm using are:
1. Right click the tab name
2. Select Move or Copy,
3. Select Create a Copy
4. Click OK
Doing all of the above does not work. When the new worksheet opens, all columns are the same width. It seems to be stuck on "autofit column width" setting of 8.5. The original worksheet is several columns wide all with different width settings.
I've also used Copy, Paste Special and selected column widths and that does not work either.
I would like to implement specific cell ranges from two specific worksheets each within 33 workbooks (which all have several tabs) into a summary page in a separate workbook.
The cell ranges are going across my spreadsheet in rows and I would like for them to transpose into a columns depending on the data which I have separated by catergory on the summary page. They are all on the same location in each workbook which is separated by country. The cell ranges are E26:P37 and I would like to transpose them and have them put below eachother without overwriting for my format on the summary page, how I can put this together in a macro?
I have some simple Macro code that works fine for the COPY side of the action...
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that copies the main report sheet in my workbook. The point of the macro is to get a copy of the report data without allowing anyone to see the formulas/data behind it - when it pastes, it pastes only the values in the tables and then copies the charts, deletes the live ones, and pastes only the images back on the sheet. The macro works on my computer and my partner's computer, but not on anyone else's. It stops at this point:

They are in cells H24 and D29 of the second sheet. I want to have a macro on the second sheet that if I click it, it will paste special these two figures (values only so no formulae), into the active cell on the first sheet. This is the code I've got so far but every time I run the macro it just pastes into the same two cells in the first sheet.

I want to create a button in the toolbar for each time I open excel. I want to click the button and I automatically want the button to perform these three seperate actions: paste values, paste formulas, paste formats
I need to create a macro to "paste special - values", therefore I have coded
"Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues"
It works well if copy and paste special within the same excel sheet.
However, when I ctrl C on any other website and revert back to excel to use my macro to paste special, it cannot work.
I have a spreadsheet with 2 macros in it, one for copying cells and deleting contents/comments etc.
Selection.Copy
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
Selection.ClearContents
Selection.ClearComments
Application.CutCopyMode = True
and another to Paste Special (all except borders)
Selection.Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAllExceptBorders, _
Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
The first macro works fine but the second macro comes up with a runtime error '1004' Paste Special method of range class failed.
I created a macro that copies a range from one worksheet to another as shown below, which correctly copies everything including formulas.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have written the code below. And I found two problems:
1.The code stopped to work when I change from Paste to PasteSpecial.
Sub Copyfriction()
Dim DestWB As Workbook: Set DestWB = ActiveWorkbook
Dim DestWS As Worksheet: Set DestWS = ActiveSheet
Dim DestCLL As Range: Set DestCLL = ActiveCell
Dim UserChoice
UserChoice = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Text Files (*.xls),*.xls")
[Code] ........
2.As you see the right cell on the the destination sheet need to be selected. So Im planing to run the macro when double clicking the cell in question. I have tried the next
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Target.Address = "$A$6" Then
Copyfriction
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
I have a sheet which is protected but people are still able to change cell formats etc if they use the standard paste method. I want people to be able to paste data in but it forces paste special values to stop people pasting formats etc over already formatted and locked cells.
I know I could write a macro and run it using the shortcut keys ctrl-v but then the users lose the ability to undo if they make a mistake.
Is there a way to force paste special or allow users to run a macro but be able to do undo if they make a mistake?
I have a programme which works fine on my computer at home but when I send it via email to work the 'sort' function messes up (there is a chance it could be the 'vlookup' function, though) and all the cells in the sort range lose their formula reference - which is of course a tad annoying.
The part of the programme I'm having difficulty with is this:
Range("SsNo1").Resize(d, f).Offset(a, 0).Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("FRSet1"), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlGuess _
, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
I have a workbook with many sheets in it. Within each sheet there is a cell with the Text "March 09" there are then 3 cells to the right of this cell with relevant information. Is there a Macro that can search for this text March 09, then copy this and the 3 cells to the right of it and paste special this information 1 cell below for all 4 cells.
View 2 Replies View RelatedNot sure if it's me or a new change in excel 2010, yet creating a simple macro as listed below does not work.
Outside of macro I will select a range of data and copy.
Then, using macro I'd like i to perform: paste special values, in the current cell
I have 9 worksheets in a book with sheets 1-8 used for data entry, and sheet 9 used for a weekly data upload. Sheets 1-8 are all formatted the same, they just represent different vendors. I need a macro to look through column F (invoice number) on sheets 1-8 and see if the value of each cell already appears in column c on sheet 9. If the value is not found and the row value for column M (sheets 1-8) is >0, I need to copy the data from columns D:K and paste special values into the next blank row on sheet 9.
Basically I'm trying to see if I've already paid an invoice, and if not then I need to automatically add the data for payment. I've tried to mess around with a VBA code myself and ended up with a migraine every time. I've also tried to use the advanced filter, but the cell values I need to copy over contain formulas and conditional formatting...not to mention I can't delete the data on sheet 9 that has already been added.
I am looking for a macro that can do one of two things. I am not sure which way I want to go with this yet and how automated it should be. Either scenario will result in a significant time save.
Scenario One
1. Copy & Paste Special Values on the selected/active worksheet
2. Protect Selected Worksheet with password "1234"
3. Delete ALL worksheets except the selected/active worksheet from the file. Names of other sheets can be various and are not static
For example:
A workbook has the following: sheets1, sheet2, sheet3, sheet_unknown_name
If you are working in sheet1 the macro would copy paste special values the entire sheet, protect sheet1 with the password "1234" and delete any and all other sheets.
Scenario Two
1. Copy & Paste Special Values on the selected/active worksheet into a new workbook
2. Protect the new workbook with password "1234"
3. Rename the new workbook with the original workbook name adding either "em_" to the front or "_em" to the end of the filename
4. File, Send To, Mail Recipient as attachment.
I often need to use Paste Special... Values, using Excel 2003. So I recorded a Macro into "Personal.xls" and assigned a shortcut key combination "CTRL-Shift-V" so that it would always be available. I first select one or more cells and hit CTRL-C to copy to clipboard, click on another cell, then hit CTRL-Shift-V to run the following macro: Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
It often works . . . and it often fails. When it is working it seems to keep working over and over. When it is failing it keeps failing. So it is almost as if there are two "modes" of operation, which for lack of terms, for this post I will coin the terms "fail mode" and "fixed mode". Once I am in one of the two modes, it stays there for a while. When it is in the "fail mode", I always get the dreaded: Run-time error 1004: "Pastespecial method of Range class failed".
Since this problem is very intermittent, I believe this is why there are so many posts in the Internet about this, and so many people are replying back "it works fine for me". I have seen many solutions offered but none work so far for just a simple shortcut key to do a PasteSpecial :Values. Some solutions "work" . . . such as adding the PasteSpecial button to the Toolbar, or pressing ALT-E-S-V <Enter> - but both of these bring up the Paste Special dialog box which I want to avoid. I spent days trying the many solutions offered but so far all I have found is a trick to convert Excel from "fail mode" to "fixed mode". The trick is to add a line to the macro to first do a "Paste Special: Format:
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

Can a macro make a workbook everytime you copy, it will paste special formulas only and skip blank rows? And can I still let me select the range manually? I would like to use this to link workbooks.

Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Then select and copy any cell/s, click on another cell, and run the macro just ONCE - it will paste the formatted value successfully and you are now in the "fixed mode". Now you can remove the PasteSpecial:Format line that you just added, to get back to the original macro with just the "Paste Special: Values" line:
VB : Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Now Excel is in the "fixed mode" and the original macro will once again start working properly. BUT only for a while !! Then some time later, usually within a day or a couple hours . . . Excel goes back into that "mode" where once again the macro fails repeatedly. I have been unable to isolate what causes the mode to return to failure.
Any simple way to either change the code so that it ALWAYS is successful, why this often is not successful ? I believe that the fact that adding in the Paste Special : Format code and running it just once to fix the problem, also could be a clue as to what causes this problem to "sometimes" occur.
Copy over data from different workbooks and using paste special values to paste it into a new workbook using a macro. Here is what I have and what I am looking for:
My file path is
C:Documents and SettingsMy DocumentsProjectCostsDecember12
In this folder I have workbooks called:
Function1
Function2
Function3
In each workbook I have 4 worksheets
Cashable12-13
NonCashable12-13
Total12-13
GrandTotal12-13
I also have a workbook called DecMonthlyTotal in the same folder with the same named worksheets.
I am looking for a macro to be placed in the DecMonthlyTotal that will pull the data from the Cashable12-13 worksheets from Function1, Function2 and Function3 and paste special the values into workbook DecMonthlyTotal, worksheet name Cashable12-13, it will also pull the data from the NonCashable12-13 worksheets from Function1, Function2 and Function3 and paste special the values into workbook DecMonthlyTotal, worksheet name NonCashable12-13
Both the Cashable12-13 and the NonCashable12-13 have Columns A - G The row that the macro should start the copying from is Row 3 for each of the workbooks; however I don't have an end row for the workbooks as this will vary.
I am using Excel version 2003.
Using Excel 2010, I set up a simple workbook with a spreadsheet on one page and the ranges for data validation on another. I successfully linked the fields in the "Category" and "Tender" columns with the data on the second sheet, making nice drop down menus. Everything works fine on my computer. However, when we open the workbook on a different station, the drop down menus disappear. If you highlight any of the "Category" or "Tender" fields, the little drop down prompt is missing; they behave like regular, un-formatted fields. It appears that the data validation became un-linked.
We tried opening versions with certain fields locked (Mainly the Total, Breakdown, and Summary areas, but the fields with data validation were still editable), and also completely unlocked documents. Every time, the drop down lists were lost when opened on different stations.
I've attached the completely unlocked version : 00_FLEX TRAVEL EXPENSE REPORT_v3.xlsx
Forget to check a box or something? This seems way harder for me to figure out that it should be!
I have my macro that every second does a copy and paste.

Macro, which can cut/Paste from sheet "Pastin" to Sheet "Robot".
The input in sheet Pastin is veritical and the the result is in a row horiontsal.
There can be no references between the names for the columns or rows, only the cell to move.
I would like it to be so when I run the macro it example move it to sheet robot from row A3, and if I do again it make the next one from Row A4.
What I want to move can be seen in below.
Cell on the left is sheet "Pastein" and cells on the right is sheet "Robot"
Special is that one move have to be taken from on cell comma separated input, so it goes to sheet "Robot" for each text/number, between the comma.
I have attached a test sheet to work with also.

I have an excel worksheet with contact info in columns rather than rows. For example, C1R1 is company name, C1R2 is address, C1R3 is City/St/ Zip, C1R5 is phone. I recorded a macro to cut and paste address to C2R2, C/S/Zip to C3R1 and phone to C4R1. That works but I cannot repeat it as I move down the list. Just re-runs macros over same cells all the time. How do I get it to start and run wherever I want it too? Also, how would I get it to delete the now vacant rows?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a macro code which gets the file list from a folder i specify and puts it in to an excel sheet as a column. I have then made a drop down list from this so the user can select the file they want.
From this file i wish to copy the data on a sheet that i specify. For example the sheet "dump" from file FR7_19.11.2009.xls (which will be a closed workbook) and paste its content in to the sheet "dump" in Summary.xls
I have a macro which opens up the closed workbook FR7_19.11.2009.xls and copies the sheet "dump" and then creates a new sheet of the same name and content in my current workbook (Summary.xls). However when i wish to select a different file to load in to Summary.xls "dump" the formulas i have been calculating information from this sheet all come up with #!Ref errors. I know this is because the macro i use deletes the old dump sheet before re adding a new one containing new data.
I am therefore looking for a macro which will simply just copy and paste the data from any file i select in to a sheet named "dump" as the data is always set out the same in every file but the values are different. I assume this will then mean that any formulas i use relating to this "dump" sheet in Summary.xls will work because the sheet is no longer being deleted and re-added the data within it has just simply been copied over.
I am attempting to copy a range from one worksheet and paste it to a new worksheet when the system clock hits a specific time. It needs to run continuously and identify that a previous colum has been filled and paste into the next open column. I am just getting my feet wet.

Paste can this be set to default to Paste Special Values only ?
I have a sheet with a number of lists validated drop down boxes. The sheet is networked and works fine.
Problem other users as they are entering information into the required cells they are copying and pasting. Then the inevitable occurs they paste data into the wrong cells the validation from the original cell is pasted as well. Is there a way I can set paste special values only to be the default for the full sheet.
Unfortunately we use excel 97 in the office.
