Pause Macro And Wait For User To Click On Cell To Resume Macro?
Jan 15, 2014
I have a macro where I manually select a cell then the macro kicks in to copy and paste the contents into the Find function. From there it goes to another work sheet, clicks on a cell in column one and searches for matching cell contents. Then If false it manually goes back to the original worksheet/cell and then I input a N in the left adjacent cell. If true I enter a Y. Right now I can only run this for the specific cell the macro was recorded for. I would like to expand this.
What I would like to do create a loop in the macro that waits for my cell choice input then continues with the with the Find function. If false the macro should just loop back to the original worksheet/cell and wait for input, ie the next cell selected. However, if true a worksheet/cell is selected, a Y is input and it loops back to the original cell and waits for input.

Is there a way a macro can be paused then resume running the macro by a keystroke, not a time delay.

I have a workbook with several hundred row the VBA code loops through. It takes about an hour to run all the calculations. Whenever I need to pause the script I hit ESC, which works well for me, but for other users it would be nice to have a command button that halts code. Even better would be another button to resume code.

how to interrupt VBA code, allow user modifications to a chart, and then continue the code where it left off with a click of a button. I currently have the code in place where a UserForm pops up at a specific point and tells the user to make adjustments and press OK when done. It works fine but the UserForm displays and the macro resumes when OK is clicked, but I can't figure out how to activate the chart or the spreadsheet to allow editing while that UserForm is on the screen. If only I can get excel to allow me to sleect the spreadsheet and make changes while the UserForm is on the screen, I would be set. Can anyone please help me with any options to allow editing while the UserForm is on the screen so I can edit and then click the OK when done?
I posted something similar to this over two years ago. The way I got around it at the time was to break the code into two separate subs. This time around, the code is making 17 graphs and I want to ask for editing for each one before continuing. That would be a lot of individual sections of code.

I am wanting to pause a macro to allow a user to select a cell and when the user hits enter the macro starts running again. My intention is that a user would select cell B5 or B8 or B55 and then hit enter and the cell would move 6 cells right and enter a value from the macro. The following is what I have tried and even though it allows to select a cell, it doesn't make that cell the active cell.

I would like to Pause a macro to allow the user to select a range on the spreadsheet and then click OK to continue with Macro.
I tried to use Msbbox, but I can't figure out how to allow user to access the spreadsheet to highlight the desired range.

been checking out 1/2 a second wait instead of a 1 sec wait
and would like to know it you can do this
timer thing
Dim x As Single
x = Timer
While Timer - x < 0.5
Wend
more than once
it works the first time and then it sort of skips it
or is there ANOTHER way of having a delay of less than a second?

I am trying to pause a macro on a protected sheet, select 2 adjacent cells (initially protected), utilize an existing drop down box to select a name from the list, copy the name from the list into the range of cells, then re-start the macro.
I had no problem when there was just one name (see John Smith below). I tried to use the InputBox command but needed to actually type in the name.
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Range("C27:D27").Select
'ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "John Smith"
' Application.CutCopyMode = False
' ActiveSheet.Paste
'Range("c27:d27") = InputBox("Enter value")

I'm using a pre-made spreadsheet from my stock broker (Interactive Brokers) that retrieves and displays real-time quotes, and allows one to retrieve historical stock data, among other things. I've created a little macro within it to try and automate some common tasks I do everyday - basically I want to retrieve a year of daily stock quotes for "stock 1" from IB's servers, then have the macro wait for the retrieval to be done and written to the spreadsheet (takes anywhere between 10 and 30 secs). After that's all done, then I want to do the same for "stock 2". Then when that's done, the macro proceeds to go ahead and do some calcs on stock1 and stock2. The problem is after my stock1 data request, the macro just keep on trucking through to the next commands while stock1's data retrival is still going on.
so things are getting all balled up. How can I get my macro to wait until stock1's data retrieval is all done?

When clicking the button on my userform, it goes through a quite complex process of changing the views in several pivot tables that are linked to an "report" sheet, which has all the figures the user needs in a neat format.
Changing these pivot tables takes up to a minute, so I wanted a userform, called "frmwait", to pop when clicking the command button. It would say "Generating Your Report - Please Wait". At the same time, the initial userform, which is called "frmroutedashboard", would be hidden.
This does not happen - the "frmwait" userform shows, however the "frmroutedashboard" does not hide.
Is this because the code I composed uses the values on the "frmroutedashboard" to generate the view, and it cannot hide until the report is completed? If so, there must be a way around this. Anyone know how?
The initial code so far looks like this:
frmroutedashboard.hide
Application.Cursor = xlWait
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayStatusBar = True
Application.StatusBar = "Updating Route Dashboard..."
I thought if it looked like this, it would be sufficient. Unfortunately, the file is too large to attach, so I hope the code suffices.
frmroutedashboard.hide
frmwait.show
Application.Cursor = xlWait
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayStatusBar = True
Application.StatusBar = "Updating Route Dashboard..."

I am running a macro that populates the same chart with variable data. I have approximately 40 sets of data and wish to pause or stop the macro to view one of the sets of data more closely. The pause option would be better but Stop option is acceptable

How do I pause my macro until the user selects a chart in the worksheet? Or Keep prompting a message to the user till he selects the chart and when a chart is selected run the macro.
Step 1: Check if a chart is Selected
Step 2: If yes, run the macro
Step 3: If no, prompt the user with a msgbox of Retry/Cancel.
Step 4: If the user selects Retry, wait till he makes a selection.
Step 5: If the selection is a chart, run the macro. If the selection is not a chart prompt the same msgbox again and keep looping it till he selects a chart.
Sub test5()
Dim chtSelected As Chart
Dim UserResponse As Integer
On Error Resume Next
Set chtSelected = ActiveChart

when I run a macro, it takes me to a different sheet, clicks on a cell, and then goes to data--> form to automatically generate a form so I can make a new entry. I want the macro to wait until I have completed the form, and on completion to do something else. I'd prefer it if I could indicate completion of the firm by just a keystroke, but a mouse click will do as well.

I have macros that often pause for the user to take some action -- for instance, to confirm that the correct cells are selected, or to delete something. Usually I use the "Stop" command, which opens the VBA editor; when I finish doing the manual action, I just resume the macro.
When writing macros for actual users, I'd like to do the same thing without their having to deal with the VBA window. Is there a way to pause and resume action and remain in the Excel window?

I've written a macro for work that will work with our billing process. After part of it has run, I'd like to pause it for the user to check a column for errors and possibly update a table to get rid of those errors, then after those errors are fixed, have the ability to continue with the rest of the code. I tried to make a message box to remind the user to look for the errors, but it wouldn't allow me to click anywhere except for on the buttons.

I would like to add a pause to the following macro so that it inserts the word CANCEL 1 second after triggering. I know I need to use the Application.Ontime function but cannot work out how to integrate it.
Code:
Sub Cancel() Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("T5") = "CANCEL"
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I am running a Showcase query from inside excel. I want the query to update, drop the data in excel save it and then close. The problem is that the save command is executing before the data is dropped. The Wait command pauses all processes so it won't work. Is there a way to have a minute of filler until the data is dropped so it will save?

I am using Excel 2007.
I have some pivot tables that have the data source in another workbook. I didn't create any external data connections. When I created the first pivot table, I just selected the range from that other workbook. Most of the other pivot tables were copied and modified accordingly, so they should have the same pivot cache.
I have created a macro that basically refreshes all data, using the Workbook.RefreshAll command, then copy/pastes values and then deletes the pivots so that I can send it via e-mail without problems. The macro seems to work fine.
The QUESTION relates to the fact that I am afraid VBA won't wait for the refresh to complete before starting to copy/paste values.
The PivotCache.BackgroundQuery = False solution doesn't work. I get 10004 error. Also, there are no data connections visible in the Data > Connections. I guess that, because of this, "Properties" is greyed out in the Data tab and also "Connection Properties" under Pivot Table Tools > Options > Change Source Data is greyed out. This way, I cannot uncheck the "Enable background refresh" box.
I could just tick the "Refresh when opening the file" in Pivot Table options, but if I open the file without first opening the workbook with the raw data, refresh takes very long.
I have tried to measure time difference between the RefreshAll command and a simple Range("C3").Select command. There is a time difference, but I'm still not 100% sure that VBA waits for refresh to complete before continuing.
VB:
Do Until Application.CalculationState = xlDone
VB:
[COLOR=#333333][COLOR=#333333]DoEvents[/COLOR][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][COLOR=#333333]Loop[/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][COLOR=#333333]

I have a situation where I have an msg box pop up that asks the user to identify whether or not the file they have chosen meets the standards needed to continue running the macro. Specifically, I need them to answer "Yes" if the file has a list of data in the first column, if there are no blanks in that list and if the first row of data begins on Row 4. If they answer yes, the macro continues ahead and does what it needs to. If the person selects "no," another input box pops up that asks the user to make the edits. This msg box asks the user to click "ok" when they have made those edits. I want the macro to pause after the person has selected "no" from the first msg box, so that the person can make those corrections. Then, I want the macro to resume when the user selects "OK" on the second msg box. How might I do this? I have included the piece of my code below.
strresponse2 = MsgBox("Please confirm that the file you have selected meets the following standards:" & vbNewLine & "1. The information in the first column of this file is all of the job titles or job codes associated with this profile." & vbNewLine & "2. From the first job code or title to the last, there are no blank rows in this first column of data." & vbNewLine & "3. The first job title or code appears on Row 4, Column 1." & vbNewLine & "If the file you selected meets these standards, select Yes. If the file you selected does not meet these requirements, select No.", vbYesNo, "Yes/No")
If strresponse = 6 Then
Call getjobtitle
End If
If strresponse = 7 Then
'pause macro
strresponse2 = MsgBox("Please make the necessary edits to this file. When you are done, select OK to continue generating your job profile.", vbOKOnly, "OK")
If strresponse = 0 Then
'resume macro
Call getjobtitle
End If
End If

i have this piece of
Private Sub Worksheet_FollowHyperlink(ByVal Target As Hyperlink)
If Target.Range.Address "$A$1" Then macro1
Exit Sub
End Sub
I want so when i click on cell A1 it will run macro1.
So far the click on the cell works, but it works with every single cell I click on. How to I get it to just work with cell A1 instead of everyone single cell I click on?
Also, there are about 30 different cells that will run different macros, how would I go about creating adding the code the one above without having to create separate sub worksheets?
