E.g. i want excel to call this command:
ping 10.100.100.100 and then return the result to a txt file?
I have about 180 workbooks which I need to compile into a Master Schedule.
All the tab 1's are different, these feed into tab 2, which the data has the same formatting throughout. The 2nd tab has the same data for A:F 1 but cells A:2 - F:2 down to row 9 are populated from tab 1, therefore different in each. I am trying to get a Master schedule that lifts the data in the fed cells into a line by line spreadsheet?
Is there a way I can get excel to look at a folder, then every workbook in it, the at the 2nd tab in every workbook, then list the cells as described above? I am not after a consolidation of this data, but a full list?
How can I get at parameters passed on a command line to Excel 2007?
For example invoking Excel from Vista's Run command with:
"C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsMicrosoft OfficeMicrosoft Office Excel 2007" "C:GZNORPWeather StationParamTest1.xlsm" /e/abc/def
Should reveal the parameters "abc" and "def". But this does not happen!
Supposedly, the API function GetCommandLine does this, but I cannot seem to get it to work. Here's a sample of what I've been trying:
I've got an Excel file that uses 7-zip. It can execute a command line that will use 7-zip to go to a folder and zip each of the folder's files into its own zip file, placing the zips in a single, specified destination folder. I can specify whether to look in the source folder, or to also look in all of the source folder's subdirectories.
Question is, how do I tell 7-zip to just zip ONE file, and how do I tell 7-zip to zip a SPECIFIC LIST of files that I name (instead of looking through a whole folder)? how to use command line...
Code:
Sub a_zip_with_sub_directories()
Shell "cmd /c for /r ""C:Users aiDocumentsmonthly reportsFinal Copies of Monthly Reports"" %i in (*.*) do ""%ProgramFiles%7-Zip7za.exe"" a -tzip ""C:DATA aiipped\%~ni"" ""%i"""
End Sub
Sub a_zip_no_sub_directories()
Shell "cmd /c for %i in (""C:Users aiDocumentsmonthly reportsFinal Copies of Monthly Reports*.*"") do ""%ProgramFiles%7-Zip7za.exe"" a -tzip ""C:DATA aiipped\%~ni"" ""%i"""
End Sub

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a userform with a numerous textboxes, which I have labeled with similar text and a unique number at the end (num1_txt, num2_txt, num3_txt, etc.). I am trying to create a for loop that sequentially references the numbers of the text boxes and pulls the user-entered value in the text boxes into an Excel document.
Here is the code I have so far...
VB:
i = 1
For i = 1 To 18
Dim cyltrack As String
cyltrack = "Me.cyltrack" & i & "_txt.Text"
If Me.cyltrack.Value = "" Then
Cells((cellcount + i), 13).Value = "*"
Else
Cells((cellcount + i), 13).Value = cyltrack
End If
Next i
I am running into problems in trying to convert the string variable, cyltrack, into hard code that I could insert into Me.cyltrack.Value.
I have created an AddIn for a project I'm working on using the 'Open' command in Excel Vb. While this worked perfectly for the file I was testing it on (1,740,754 bytes) it doesn't work on a new file (121,445,125 bytes).
On testing the code, one line at a time, it gets stuck on
Line Input #1, DataLine
The files only contain one line so I suspect there is too much data for the command to handle.
Is there an alternative?
I have a workbook that has about 50 pages on 7 different tabs. I would like to add a print button next to each page that would only print that specific page or range. Is there a way to do this? For exampe I have a page that is named equipment log, Cells A1 through A33 are what I want to print if someone hits the print button. I don't want it to print the entire worksheet because it is 51 pages.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAll sheets are basically the same except some minor values, names and addresses. There is one page per sheet and all pages are in portrait format. The print preview shows all the pages in order but when I print it, it makes multiple print jobs of 1 to 2 pages each and prints them all out of order. I don't know why it is splitting up the workbook or why it changes the order. I print and reorder these weekly, which is a major pain. It comes out in the same order each time but it is the wrong order.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to have an excell file shared on a windows network to a simple LAN (samba sharing), and then for a user to be able to click on a HTML link that will launch that excell pile, and to have it populate specific and predeterminined cells with information that will be handed to it by the HTML link from the website.
Think of a CRM web app that href is a link like: "LAN1Filesexcellbook01.xls?Mrs%20Wendy%20Jones?4%20Skin%20Street"
From something like that I would like to launch excell and have Mrs Jones' details populate into the predefined excell sheet. The HTML website can dynamically populate a HTML link depending on the customer being viewed.
So I'd like to know how two things
1) How to launch a network file in this way, while correctly handing it parameters or switched that it will be able to later:
2) Collect that information and distribute it into the cells I choose in VBA.
I'm familiar with Visual Basic .Net primarily, and have a small amount of VBA experience.
We would like to continue to use Google chrome if possible...
How to print multiple sheet using one command ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently created a macro which takes a .csv file and scrubs the data and dresses it up for a report. I've finally got it running without any problems and have added it individually to 5 different user accounts on my network as an add-in, but need a way to share it across a computer network without allowing others to edit the file.
The report is generated multiple times a day by the different users, none of whom are very computer literate (not that I am much better, myself), and the macro over-writes the old file each time. I've read that it's possible to simply create a shortcut to the file that automatically opens the spreadsheet in read-only format, which would be perfect for what I'm trying to do, but I haven't been able to get it to work so far.
My current shortcut pathway is similar to this:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice15EXCEL.EXE" /R "C:UsersBenDocumentsOT Master.xlsx"
On my computer at work (Windows 7) the shortcut simply opens the spreadsheet so that anyone can edit it, instead of as a read-only file. On my computer at home (I'm trying to experiment) (windows 8.1) it won't even let me save the shortcut, saying I need to provide administrator permission & then cutting to a window that says "access denied".
I won't have the pathway for the actual file I'm trying to create a shortcut for until tomorrow when I get back to work, but I've formatted it essentially the same, directing to the excel.exe file, running the switch "/R", and then directing it to the actual file location.
The ultimate goal is to have multiple people be able to view the file without locking out those who need to update it.
I have created a sheet to calculate a resturant bill that need to be printed for each customer. I am trying to creat a command that will print the sheet up to the last item in the bill "sheet2". So I need the printin area to change according to the number of itmes.
I have a userform from which I need to be able to print a PDF document when the command button is pressed.
User enters the document number in docnum textbox (eg. 123)
On pressing the commandbutton printdoc, I need to be able to print document 123.PDF to default printer
All PDF Documents reside in a network folder mapped to the S:PDFdrive.
If the document is not found I need to display an error message stating this and return focus back to the textbox.
If the document is found I need to display a message stating document sent to printer.
Is it possible to create a command button to print the sheet, and, have a prompt come up and ask you to enter a date? Then that date is entered in a cell and the sheet prints? Just not sure where to start. I know how to make the command button and get to the view code for the button.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been using the following code to bring in individual cell values from one closed workbook to an active one. I would like to modify this is possible to bring in multiple cells at once and also pull them into a different worksheet in the active workbook. Basically, my command button is on Sheet1 but I'd like the data to pull into a cell on Sheet2.

.Formula = "='C:Users[Workbook Name.xlsm]Worksheet Name'! N27"
.Value = .Value

I am using the following macro to set print area which I found on the net. I am trying to modify it as I would also like to place a border line on the bottom row but cant find anything to assist me despite searching through several threads.
Dim myrange As String

myrange = .Find(What:="*", After:=.Range("A1"), LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False).Address
End With
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$K$1:" & myrange

I would like to use a command button to copy a row of data from one workbook to a column in another workbook. The row of data will have different values on a daily basis but will always be B2 through BE2. I would like the copied row of data pasted in the next available column to the left in the other work book.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have data that daily needs to be refreshed and printed to pdf.
I figure the simplest way to do this would be to task schedule the workbook to open daily. Then on open it will refresh the data, print it after all data has been refreshed and close the workbook.
I set it up originally without the need to print so I have all the queries set to refresh when opening the file, however when I now try and put the code to print to pdf on the workbook open event it runs before the queries are finished running. (Query notes: queries were created through Microsoft query, and are accessing a MySQL database queries set to refresh when opening the file queries set to enable background refresh).
I have this nice macro that copies data from another workbook. I want to make it to also add the filename of the workbook (for example data.xlsx) it copies the data from, in a cell on the actual workbook (for example on sheet "Combined", Cell A10). What should I add to my macro?

I have a workbook with some command buttons that I created a while back. The buttons used to work fine. But after installing a new computer, the spreadsheet no longer works. I can step through the code fine, but when I try to click on the button, nothing happens.

when I go a new edit a macro, I get the message
"Cannot edit a macro in a hidden workbook. Unhide the workbook using the unhide command"
Where do I find the relevant "unhide command"?
I have been looking at summing closed workbooks here and decided that due to the problems people are facing I would be better off opening the workbooks
I have a command button that makes the cells switch between 2 sets of data.
The second set of data is held in a second workbook and needs to be recalculated every time. Works fine if the workbook is open but only returns the saved values if closed.
If have added some VBA to the Command Button that opens the 2nd spreadsheet, however, is there a way to get it to open in the background rather than on top of the sheet I am working on.
My humble approach has been to write a macro and then edit it to go back to the original sheet I have been working like so:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'
' OpenABC Macro
' Macro recorded 21/04/2009 by martin.lucas
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+M
'
ChDir "L:CustomersABCABC Stats"
Workbooks.Open Filename:="L:CustomersABCABC StatsMasterABC.xls", _
UpdateLinks:=0
Windows("TopLine Management.xls").Activate
End Sub
Can this be done without the user knowing it has happened.
and can a check be done so that excel does not try to open it again if it is already open.
The data in 4 specific cells in C:UsersOfficeDropboxWB1 needs to (upon clicking command button) be copied to the next available blank cell in 4 specefic rows in C:usersOfficeDropboxWB2.
WB1 Specific Cells List
Sheet1!A4
Sheet1!Q7
Sheet1!N22
Sheet2!E3
Data from these cells are to be copied to the rows listed below respectively.
WB2 Destination Rows (Next available blank row)
Sheet1! Row B
Sheet1! Row D
Sheet1! Row F
Sheet1! Row J
I gather from reading other posts that sending this data within the same WB is fairly easy, is it easy to do between WB's though as i must have seperate WB's?
I want to use the following kill command to delete all files in a folder:
Kill "C:dsmanagerest*.*"
However, I want the directory to be specified not within the code, but within a cell on a worksheet. Ie. Cell A1 would contain the directory C:dsmanager est*.*"
I am trying to enable a command button on opening the Workbook, However it dosent work. I have placed the command button on the worksheet. Programatically it gets disabled on clicking it once. So i want it to be reactivated on reopening the Workbook.
