I need a line of code so that when I hit commandbutton2, the Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) event macro on the same page DOESN'T run. The button clears certain lines, and when it runs the change event it ends up in an error, and I don't need it to run when hitting the commandbutton.
View 6 RepliesI have 3 different sheets with a private sub on each all labelled
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
The macro's runs fine on each page.
I want to put a macro on a separate sheet that i can run each of those macro's
I did initially copy the original private macro and change the
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
to
sub report()
But I couldn't do all 3 in the same manner. i did change each name to something different... the other 2 subs did run, but they didn't do anything except put the massage box on the end saying that "the macro has finished".
The private macros are on sheets 26, 28 and 12.
I have a macro that is run by clicking on a macro button. The macro copies the data from Sheet1 and pastes it in another sheet, Sheet2. I added some conditional formatting that colors certain cells red if others are blank on Sheet1. I would like to add some code to my macro that will not allow it to copy and paste from sheet1 to sheet2 if there are any red cells in the range.

Code:
Private Sub SDatePicker_Change()
SDatePicker.Value = Format(SDatePicker.Value, "mmm-yy")
End Sub
For some reason the code seems to run through itself twice and I can't figure out why. The result of this is an incorrect date being displayed (strangely when I select 'Jan-14' for example, the result is 'Jan-13'.
Perhaps I should point out that the default formatting of the date values seems to be in number format e.g. 41976.
I have made a vba program in excel 2003 that opens a worksheet using Workbooks.Open, and copies all the worksheets out into the program etc. The worksheets that I am opening have macros that automatically execute when the worksheet is opened (opening up some forms ). These macros are running when I open the file using VBA. How can I prevent this from happening. The automatically executed code in the workbook being opened is located in "this workbook" and can be seen below.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim CfileName As String
'Check Config sheet for template state
If Config.Cells(10, 3) = 1 Then
CustomizeDirInfo.Show
End If
If Config.Cells(10, 3) = 2 Then
GetConfData
GetGrpData
StdFileGen.Show
Else
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
I know how to enable/disable events using VBA code, however is there an option within excel to turn it on/off? My problem is this...
At the beginning of my code I disable events and at the end I enable it again (I need to do this to avoid being caught in a loop). However something is going wrong somewhere in my code and the code stops halfway through. I'm trying to test sections of the code, but I often inadvertently stop the code without enabling the events again. Therefore I can't get my VBA to execute again unless I close excel down and restart. This is a pain as I have to find my place in the code again!
I have this excel file with some functions inside a Pivot Table, which use a year value as filter (the value comes from a report filter field) and data from a different spreadsheet to calculate a percentile value ... I created custom functions to replace the excel functions, passing the values as parameters.. The problem is now that when we refresh the connection (Refresh All button under DATA tab) the cells that contain the values returned by the custom function lose those values (go blank) In order to get the values I need to select the filter value again, while when I was using the normal PERCENTILE function the values would always refresh normally
Now... I think the problem might be related to the fact that the spreadsheet in question calls 5 different custom functions at the same time.... and, those 5 function call another at least two more helper functions... so, maybe this recurrence in calling the functions is causing the thing to break up
Is there a way I can prevent this from happening? Maybe put some flag or something that will cause the functions to be executed one by one, and not all at the same time?
I am having difficulties with my Worksheet_Activate() macro. It works great within workbook1 when it is only workbook1 open - but when I open another workbook2, the macro stills runs, presumably because Sheet1 of workbook1 is still activated as well as the newly activated sheet in workbook2.
Is there a way to ensure that only 1 worksheet of 1 workbook is activated at a time? Or that sheet1 of workbook1 is deactivated when workbook2 is opened/clicked on? I need my Worksheet_Deactivate macro to run to get rid of my Worksheet_Activate macro (which runs an application that resets the function of keyboards keys). Otherwise moving around workbook2 is a nightmare. When I navigate back to workbook1 while workbook2 is still open, I still want sheet1 of workbook1 to be activated and my macro to run .
I have a piece of code that hides unneeded rows, it does work but it is very slow.
This is in the worksheet part of the project. My problem is as it runs it "jumps" in to a function I have in a module that counts continuous rows. I would like to know why it is doing this and what I need to do to stop it? I have another piece of code that is structered exactly the same that hides unneeded columns and I do not have any problems with that. I know both pieces of code are dealing with rows and I think this is part of the problem but I can not see any reason why the first bit would call the second bit?
Dim C
With Worksheets("CEN OAS"). Range("D5:D378")
.EntireRow.Hidden = False
End With
For Each C In Worksheets("CEN OAS").Range("D5:D378")
If C.Value = "" Then
C.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
Next C
Function to count used rows....................
I have a userform with a combobox in it that's rowsource is a column of company names in a worksheet. When a company name is chosen, a combobox change private sub runs and many userform textboxes are populated with information about the company that was chosen from the combobox dropdown. This information is stored on a worksheet. I then want to edit any of the information in these textboxes. Once my edits are made I have a CommandButton that is pressed to save the edit changes. This CommandButton runs a private sub that disables the combobox (thinking this would prevent the combobox private sub from running), deletes the row that the information originated from, and then SHOULD make a new row of values based on the contents of the textboxes following the edits. The problem is that the CommandButton coding that deletes the row causes the combobox change private sub to run because the company that had been selected is now the missing from the rowsource; this causes an error.

I have a private sub macro for Sheet1 as shown below
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

And I have another macro (call ADDNumLine) that add additional data to the Sheet1. How do I temporally disable the Private Sub above when executing Macro AddNumLine?
When in a ThisWorkbook macro, I want to call a sub/macro in a Module. Usually you can just do a CALL MACRO1, and it will find it. But my MACRO1 is Private as I don't the users to be able to do a Tools, Macro, Macros and see it. So I don't want to make it a Public macro. So how do I call the private sub/macro from within ThisWorkbook?
Can I proceed the sub/macro's name with the name of the module, kind of like CALL MODULE1.MACRO1? Or do I have to make it public?
I have a sheet that has a macro on it, I would like to run that macro programaticaly but Im not able to call it using Call mymacro type of code. The code that calls the macro resides in a module and the macro is in a sheet. Obviously they are not talking, is there a way to run it remotely without moving the macro into the module?
I would like to have something that will auto run the code in Module1 when the Excel File is opened, but I do not want to code tansfered into the file when it is saved in its location.
I don't mind if the code is tranfered to saved file if in fact I can make sure the code is not run when the new file is opened...
Everything is working as intended at the moment, but when openeing the saved file the entire macro tried to run again. This is what I do not want...
I currently have the following code in Module1.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'
' Format_Copy_&_Paste
'
Application.OnKey "^+r", "Warehouse_Cost_Summary"
'
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Sheets("Sheet1").Name = "DataSet"

I have a spreadsheet with near 300 tabs, each with a picture in the tab. The main tab has a list of all other tabs, the goal is to allow the user to click on a cell next to an entry, and have Excel flash the referenced tab to allow the user to see what the entry is referencing. I have written a simple macro that activates a desired tab, unhides it, displays a message box to pause the macro, rehides the tab, then returns the user to the main tab.
Rather than creating a macro for all 300 tabs and creating buttons I would love to use the Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByBal Target As Range) or some variation thereof, to make my life much easier. The name of the tab is in cell A2, so I would want to have the user click on cell A1, activate the macro, then take A1 to A2 with something like A1 = A(x+1)->A2, then display the tab listed in A2. So rather than have 300 macros with Sheets("XYZ").Visible = True, I would love it to read Sheets(contents of referenced cell).Visible = True. with the contents of referenced cell coming from some manipulation of the cell I clicked on...
I'm having trouble calling a defined range within a VLOOKUP function in VBA. If the named range is located on the same sheet within which you are running the macro, everything runs fine and all is well in the world.
However, after I relocated the range to a separate sheet (a 'SourceData' sheet to tidy up the user interface sheet), I was getting the following error message:
Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed
The name is correctly defined - Range("DaysInYear").Select still picks up the correct selection - it's just the VLOOKUP will no longer function correctly.
Here is part of the macro's
For I = 1 To NumberOfDays
Range("A1").Value = DateAdd("d", -(I - 1), EndDate)
If Application.VLookup(Range("A1"), Range("DaysInYear"), 3, False) = 1 Then
If Application.VLookup(Range("A1"), Range("DaysInYear"), 4, False) = 0 Then
ActualNumber = ActualNumber + 1
End If
End If

Where can I obtain some working examples or explanations as to what, where, when, why, and how these Public and Private Sub are correctly implemented? I see these code used extensively but not sure why it's there yet. A macro which uses a Private Sub is in one of my workbooks. Due the "progress" of things from here I now need to move to the next curios level of understanding Macro and VB coding.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHere 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.
Prevent saving and allow only through Macro
I am contracting an excel template and need to stop users saving the file using “Save” or “Save As”. I am able to do this by using the private sub below:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Me.Saved = True
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
End Sub
I also understand that by switching to “Designer” mode you can save the file and once re opened designer mode will be switched off. What I need is to allow saving using a macro, is there a code that I can insert in the macro to switch designer mode?
Is there any way to write a macro which can prevent computer illiterate users from saving their files EVERYWHERE??
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a macro, that when running needs to display certain sheets that should be hidden again when the macro is done. I solve this by using the code
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = True
'macro code
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = xlVeryHidden
But what if the macro fails? Or if the user ends it by pressing Esc? Then he will be able to see the hidden sheet. Is there something I can write in the code that makes the macro hide the sheet, then show the error message?
Is there a way to prevent access to the code of a macro? I am interested in sending out some macro's, but would prefer that the user only be able to run them, and not be able to access the code via the edit button. Curiously, there have been occasion's where I wanted to edit my own work, but the edit button did not function, so I had to exit and start over to proceed. From this I'm guessing there must be a way.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to write a macro that performs the following function:
I have a value in cell A1
In cell A2, I have the formula "=A1"
I want to make it so that cell A2 can never be directly changed; the only way to change the value in A2 is by changing A1. A2 should always equal A1.
I want a message box to pop up and alert the user whenever they attempt to modify A2, instructing them that if they wish to change A2, they have to change A1.
I had written this macro, and it kinda does the trick:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("a2") Range("a1") Then
MsgBox "text goes here"
Range("a2").Value = Range("a1")
End If
End Sub
When I attempt to change cell A2, I get the MsgBox popup and it works how I want it to. However, when I alter cell A1, I get the same popup before cell A2 updates (to be precise, the popup occurs after I click another cell). I would like this to be immediate and without a MsgBox.
I have an add-in that I'm passing around to my users, and though it has 8 or 9 subs, it only has 2 that they need to see. However, I'd rather not relegate all of the code to a single module, as there is quite a bit of it. I'm aware that I could change all the subs to functions, but they would still appear in the UDF list, and this would also be confusing to the individual responsible for the upkeep of these macros (and I'd have to rework the code a little bit).
I'm just asking if there is any direct way to do this, before I go to the trouble of making a lesser workaround. Google seems to think no, but "don't show macros in list" isn't a very solid search.
I'm using the following code to delete columns:
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Integer, counter As Integer
Set rng = Range("1:1")
i = 1
For counter = 1 To rng.Columns.Count
'If cell i in the range contains an "x",
'delete the column
If rng.Cells(i) = "x" Then
rng.Cells(i).EntireColumn.Delete
Else
i = i + 1
End If
Next
My problem is that I have cells in other worksheets linked to the worksheet that is running this macro and everytime I run it, I get a handful of "#REF" errors. I think this problem might be solved if I could simply delete the contents of the column rather than deleting the entire column. How can I modify my code to do this?
I'd like to know if there is a change event that only occurs when a target cell is changed by the user, but does not occur when i'ts changed by a macro. nfortunately, the Worksheet_Change event occurs in both cases.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have to issue template workbooks to people for budgeting purposes.
Within the workbooks are various numbers of worksheets pre -formatted and ready for these people to enter data.
Some of the data in the worksheets is important to them as individuals but not to me so I have a series of macros that lift the information from the worksheets and put it into a worksheet more specific to me.
Because the users are on the whole not that good with Excel I have put in easy to use look up tables and various proctections to stop them adding or deleting rows or columns as this plays havoc with my macros.
There is one thing I have "so far" been unable to do and I wondered if anyone could help.
Is there a macro that I could put somewhere in the workbook which would detect when someone tried to cut and paste and would either put up a message box or stop them doing this?
The reason being they are cutting from one row to another and this is messing up the calculations which are protected.
Is there also a way to stop them changing the name on the sheet tab in the smae way?
Is there a way to prevent the Workbook_SheetChange event macro from triggering when I run Excel's Solver?
The solver goes through 100 or so iterations changing multiple cells each of which seemed to trigger the Workbook_SheetChange event. If there was a Solver Run event, I could turn off application events, but as far as I know such an event does not exist.
Can i run a macro by just the pointer going over it.
