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?
Is it possible to have a confirmation message box if you click a button to run a macro, eg "Are you sure you want to Insert a new row?" with "Yes" and "Cancel".
For purpose of this question my current macro is
Code: Sub Button3_Click() Rows(ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller).TopLeftCell.Row + 2).Insert Shift:=xlDown End Sub
I'm trying to control the number of ways people can mess-up this worksheet. I have several buttons that copy one object from a worksheet "FISH PARTS" and paste them onto another "THE JUMPER FISHBONE"
My question is can I prevent people from copying objects from the first worksheet if they already exist on the second? Specific to the code below: how do I make sure "BONE_1" doesn't already exist on the worksheet "THE JUMPER FISHBONE" before allowing it to be copied from the other worksheet. And can I generate a message box that tells the user the object already exists on the page.
I need to write a formula but excel shows an error message "Formula Too Long." There are two long strings of the formula that I repeat several times. Is there any way to put these strings in other cells and reference them within the formula? Each of the strings looks very similar to this:
I just want to see if this is possible, here is the code but what I want is a message box that display how long cetain code has taken to run.
I have most of what I need I just need to figure out how to take one varaible away from another to give the run time... but no idea where to start with it.
Private Type SYSTEMTIME wYear As Integer wMonth As Integer wDayOfWeek As Integer wDay As Integer wHour As Integer wMinute As Integer wSecond As Integer wMilliseconds As Integer End Type
Private Declare Sub GetSystemTime Lib "kernel32" (lpSystemTime As SYSTEMTIME) Public Function TimeToMillisecond() As String.........
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.
I'm running a macro that can take a while so I want to let the user know that the macro is running OK. I've put the following line in my code
MsgBox "Searching BOM's", vbInformation
The problem is that it requires the user to press OK before it runs the macro, then the box goes off and the macro runs. What I really want to do is display a box that doesn't require user input, and stays on the screen while the macro is running and goes off automatically when the macro is finished. When the macro is finished it will either show a page of search results, or another message box saying Not Found, which requires an OK response from the user.
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 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 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
I have code to open another workbook and run a specific macro. I plan to then take that and copy it over to my workbook.
The problem I am encountering is when I run this macro, at the end of the code, a form/msg pops up stating it is complete. This then automatically stops my code from running (from my original workbook). How do I close this form in order to keep my code running?
I have a macro that is taking a long time, so long that I think something is wrong but I dont really have a great way to check. I want to put up a little window showing the progress either by saying "i'm on row XX" or having a progress bar.
Looks like msgbox requires action before the code continues so it is not a good thing to use if you want to get progress. My formula looks for bad values in a data file and fixed them. It takes forever. I would like to have a box there that simply tells me what row it is working on.
Clearly I dont want to hit the OK button for it to continue processing. I want it to update the message box on its own and then take away the message box when it is finished processing.
I have a very long (> 2 hr) macro that sifts through thousands of files and creates a table of contents (more or less). Anyway, the macro will operate just fine when I am also working at the same PC but if I walk away for an hour, Excel will sometimes generate an error (application defined or object defined error). I believe that it has something to do with the PC going idle although it really isn't going idle because I turn off sleep and hibernate while running the macro. Also, there are only two locations where the error seems to occur. See below:
Code: Dim oApp As ObjectSet oApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application") Dim files As New Collection Dim fZip As Variant For Each fZip In oApp.Namespace(zipFile).items
I have a list of items in Sheet1 column A (starting from row 1).
I would like the corresponding column B to have certain values depending on the value in column A (same row), as follows:
If the value in column A has "SYS????CZ", column B should be "HPC" If the value in column A has "SYSNIS", column B should be "NIS" If the value in column A has "SYSJBE", column B should be "JBE" If the value in column A has "ICG????", column B should be "HPC" If the value in column A has "IL????", column B should be "RUP" If the value in column A has "SYSHPC08", column B should be "HPC"
What I tried was to record a macro while typing the formula in B1: ...
I have a range of numbers stored as text. I need to convert them to long numbers using vba. I tried typing a simple number = clng(a2), but that didnt work. Can someone help me with A) the right formula and B) the proper end(xlUp) format.
I am working on using an excel workbook as part of a roll playing game and I am trying to record a macro and then put that in a command button which uses the randbetween, multiple if statements and multiple vlookup functions. I have successfully done similar things by just recording a macro and then pasting that into the VB editor. However this time I get a unable to record macro after putting the formula in the selected cell. I have tried copy and paste and just typing the formula with the same results.
Upon executing the formula I then want it to copy and paste special- values the result.
I'm assuming I have to put the VB code in manually but when I tried to do the formula I got a syntax error.
The worksheet I am working on is named new and I've included the formula in the a text box. I would like the result to show in J12 and be triggered by pressing the cmnbutton in k12.
I've done some looking around in the object browser and in the forum, but i wasn't able to find the answer to this question:
I've got a combobox (dropdown list) in a userform which i use to run macros. soft of them are fairly long (2-3seconds), and during that time the dropdown list remains visible.... is there a way to force hide it?
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
I have a very long code with multiple functions and operations i.e. it calculate many fields. The normal running time varies from 2 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the data size.
Can any one tell me a way so that I can put a kind of status bar to show the progress or estimated time left? Basically, during operation it looks like excel is hanged and not responding but infact its not.
how do I code in vba for it to wait until the user has checked the file that has been made make a few amendments and then when done one would click OK or resume for the program to carry on with the rest of the code.
Here in our department we made a pretty elaborate macro that takes a report and sorts them out to 17 different sheets in a one workbook. This Macro pulls a file from a specific location on our server and then opens the CSV sorts it out color codes all the important information and saves it back onto the server under you specific initials.
They are four PC's along with our Managers laptop that run this Macro daily.
About 3 weeks ago my Managers laptop stops running the Macro completely and hangs in the middle of the whole thing. Eventually crashing Excel.
We try to remove the modules and re-import them back into the personal macro workbork but this does not work. The Macro's did not change and still fully function on the other four desktops to this day.
I uninstall Office on my Managers laptop and reinstall. Import the Modules again and still hangs up in very same spot it did 3 weeks ago.
I've tried to lower the macro security to the lowest level also and I've still had no luck with this laptop. I don't understand. The Macro's function perfectly on other PC's but will not function on this laptop.
I have a Sheet sheet1 and I want to run a macro when the cell D2 in Sheet1 is equal to 10,7,5,and 3. I only want this macro to run when those values are reached the macro then puts the data onto a sheet called wps. The macro is run as a module and is a sub macro.
Below is the code I currently have implemented. The first line of code creates a .csv file. The third line of code opens that file. I couldn't put the third line right after the first because it would try to open the file before it was finished being created. Hence, the second line which waits for 5 seconds. Is there a way, either in the CMD or VBA, that I can have it wait until the first line of code has completed?
VB: Shell "cmd.exe /c M:" & "&& cd DesktopExcel Project" & Command Application.Wait Time + TimeSerial(0, 0, 5) Workbooks.Open("M:DesktopExcel ProjectInfo.csv")
