I often use multiple workbooks containing large data, (more than 10MB) with formulae built in. When I update one workbook, i cant use the other because Excel is still processing the first. Is there a work around or a MS patch to rectify this, or this is just a limitation of Excel program?
View 9 RepliesI have to apply formulas to many different excel files. They are all seperate, and there are litterally thousands of them. They are all seperated, cause each of them represent and individual user.
I am unsure of how to work on so many files. I cannot select all of them to open at once either, cause they are in different folders.
I need some sort of batch running program, that could go thru each and every one of them, and apply some formulas to them (probably using VBA scripts)
I have a VB codes to process the data from a file that located in the folder from directory. This VB will copy the data from the file and paste it into new workbook by clicking the command button. I want to modify this code in order to make VB can process the data from multiple file from multiple folders. Previously, I just write the code for one folder only. So now, I want to modifiy the codes in order to expand more folders. All the results will be pasted into the same workbook.

I'm currently doing a survey using an excel workbook that contains multiple questions across multiple worksheets using radio buttons linked to certain cells.
I have around 400 workbooks coming back to me, so what i want to do is take specific values from across many worksheets within each workbook and combine them into a large master table in a seperate workbook.
I've tried using VBA, but not being very proficient at it i've hit a brick wall with that, so i'm hoping that there is an easier way to do it than what i'm currently pursuing.
I've got data being scraped from a site, putting 1 new workbook in a folder each day
each workbook has 40 sheets in it.
i need to run 5 modules in sequence on a sheet then loop to the next sheet and run the same 5 modules.
ive writen all the modules, and can loop them through the sheets in sequence but i cant work out how to loop them through the each workbook in the folder..
is there an easy way to do this or can it not be done because it would need access to the folder that holds all the wordbooks which lives outside of excel on the desktop ?
I need a macro that would consolidate all data in multiple worksheets of multiple workbooks in one Master file.
All the workbooks will be in one particular folder. The macro should search for data in all the workbooks and consolidate it in one master excel workbook.
I am currently using both excel 2007 and excel 2010. This macro would really reduce manual work as currently consolidating data from 45 to 50 sheets takes an ample amount of time...
The following code won't let me copy from the first workbook. I get a run time 1004 error stating "That command cannot be used on multiple selections".
I would rather not have to copy this by column for each of the 4 workbooks

I track distribution using 1 workbook for each sales rep. Each workbook has a separate worksheet (scorecard) for each of their locations showing which of our products are used in that location, for various functions. Each of the locations has a segment (bar, nightclub, casual dining, etc.), and a class (AA, A, B, etc.). All of the scorecards are identical, and are in the same file folder on our shared drive.
Sample:
Location A Class:AA Segment: Sports Bar Rep: John Smith
Product: Product X Product Y Product Z
Well: 1 0 0
Back Bar: 0 1 0
Cocktail Menu: 0 1 1
I was unable to find an HTML maker so this is not an actual sample but what I'm looking at. The above data indicates that for location A (Sports Bar, Class AA), Product X is used as the well, Product Y is on their back bar and their cocktail menu, and Product Z is not used at this location at all.
I need to set up an analytic workbook where I can sum data based on multiple and grouped criteria, and for multiple reps ie- display a scorecard that shows totals for nightclubs and sports bars, class AA, A, and B, for a particular rep; OR display a scorecard that shows totals for nightclubs, class A for a group of reps. Ideally I would like to do this using drop down menus that allow the user to select multiple criteria in each of the drop downs, having the data auto-populate based on those selections.
I want create a macro which will extract 6 values (see below) from a workbook tab called summary to an master workbook for reporting purposes. Each workbook has a unique file name e,g ACI1150.
Values on sheet SUMMARY:
A1
A2
A3
G21
G24
G26
I tried to adapt the below to get one item copied/extracted. However it would no work.
I am new to using macros

I have about 20 workbooks with different file names for different projects all saved in the same folder. Each workbook has about 10 worksheets and each worksheet is named in a similar fashion in each of the 20 workbooks (eg. revenue, cost, variance etc.). I want to pull out a worksheet named ' forecast' from each workbook into a master workbook so that the master workbook would contain the 20 forecast worksheets.
View 9 Replies View Relatedis there a vba code which I could use such that it will show me how much processing has be completed.
So basically the user first enters all the information required for the calculation(which is basically a bunch of records on which the processing is carried out), then they press a button which will start the calculation however currently the user has to keep on pressing the refresh button (ctrl+alt+F9) and keep on refressing until the results have been calculated then they are available to view.
I was thinking if it is possible that after the user click on the calculate button a form appears which will start the calculation and within the code it will automatically refresh the worksheet ('s) and then when a field within the worksheet (Status) changes to completed the form will then disappear.
I am trying to do a conditional format for a cell and I think that it will contain some VB.
If a cell(C3) is a certain background color (gold), then I want another cell (E3) to subtract the number within the cell(C3). If the cell(C3) is not gold, then it is not to be subtracted.
I'm currently working on a project with data that includes columns for both latitude and longitude which I will need to convert from its current form into decimal degrees. The problem is that the coordinates are in the format DDDMMSS followed by a single letter indicating the direction, which means I have to first extract proper degree minute second format before I can do anything. Further complicating the problem is that each of the entries does not necessarily have all of the components I just described (eg some of the latitudes only have degrees and minutes but not seconds) and also if a longitude is less than 100 degrees, the third digit is not used in the data. There are over 2000 records so doing the conversion by hand just won't work and I've only got a few days to present this part of my project anyway.
I'm looking for a formula or series of formulas that will reliably convert something like 1083000W into -108.5000 when the last two zeros may or may not be there and the first digit may also be missing.
I get equation in the form of a string from the output of a software that I want to modify by Excel. I am no expert in Excel and I am wondering if some expert in Excel at this forum can do this for me.
see the attached Excel file. The string in cell A1 is an example string that I will be explaining how I want this string to be modified. Here are the attributes of the string.
a. The string will have ASCII characters in it.
b. The string is a mathematical equation. I will be pasting it into Mathcad once the Excel program modifies it.
c. The string has parameters and mathematical operators in it (+,-,*,/,^). Each parameter is seperated from another parameter by at least one space. There is no space in a parameter. So, each parameter starts with a space and ends with a space. The parameters of the example string in cell A1 are listed from cells A5 to A14 in the attached file.
d. If a parameter has paranthesis in it (), then the program will disregard any character in the parameter outside the paranthesis and take the characters inside the paranthesis. For example, it will modify the parameter in cell A5 from "F(u)_X1" to "u". If the parameter has no paranthesis in it, like the one in cell A14, then it will take it as is.
e. The format of the string is such that the multiplication sign may be omitted between parameters. If there is no mathematical operator between two adjacent parameters, it should be assumed that the math operator between them is multiplication. So, the Excel program should insert a multiplication sign between them.
f. Then the program will reassemple the string in the form of an equation by appropriately keeping the mathematical operators in the original expression.
The cells B5 to B14 show the modified parameters of the original parameters in the string in cell A1. The Excel program should put together the parameters in B5 to B14 as shown in cell A18.
I have a cell in my spreadsheet that is used to designate if the row needs to be hidden or not. If the user enter's "Y", the row is hidden. I need to check some of the previous cells for entered data before the row is hidden. If data is not entered in these cells I want the empty cell(s) to be filled with a color. The user will then have to enter a value into all the correct cells before the function to hide the row will work. What is the best way to do this? I am using the following function to check for the "Y" and hide the row.

Attached is a sample Excel file. In one worksheet, the RawData sheet, there is a column of text data. Each cell in that column has one or more values in the form: 2.x, or 2.x, 2.y, 2.z. The x, y, and z values are "Rqmt Numbers".
In the second worksheet, Counts, I am trying to count the frequency of each Rqmt Number. I've been trying to figure out the VBA code to do this for longer than I'd like to admit.
Ive found a few ways to speed up the macro in my workbook thats taking about 40 minutes to process usually.
One way - Press Escape and it goes about twice as fast! - Wy does it do this?
Another way - Inserting these lines into the code -
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic

I would like to append multiple workbooks with multiple worksheets in a separate workbook. For eg. I have workbook "A" with sheets 1,2,3 and workbook "B" with sheets 4,5,6. Now I want to append "A" and "B" to create workbook "C" with sheets 1,2,3,4,5,6.
I have a folder - U:30000 - that contains a number of identically layed out workbooks. What I'm trying to do is, in each, change a number of cell values. Where dominicb's solution to the previous problem didn't work for me, however, is that I need to change cells in multiple worksheets. The cells are specifically:
On worksheet 'Construction': C3 (which is a date), D3 (which is a text value); on worksheet 'FF&E': D3 (the same text value as D3 on 'Construction'. Unfortunately, whoever initially set up the workbook didn't have the foresight to link it!)
Code to merge worksheets from different workbooks stored in different location.
I have a sheet called "Master" in all the workbook I want to combine.
I have a unique password for all the workbook as well.
All the workbooks are stored in different folder location.
I would like to do a paste special values when the consolidation takes place.
I'm trying to combine data from several worksheets (one sheet per workbook) into a single, consolidated master worksheet for reporting purposes (filters and pivot tables). We do not need to keep formulas for the master worksheet, only values and formats. Individual worksheets are used by different users to capture case data in a Human Services field. Column headings are identical, but rows contain data on individual cases. I'm trying to find a relatively easy way to combine multiple worksheets into a single master. After I establish the worksheets and technique, it will be operated by extremely basic users so I've been reluctant to use extensive macros.
Because of complex reporting needs, the exact combination of worksheets being combined for reporting may vary. For example, one time I may combine Tom, Dick and Harry, another time Tom, Dick and Bob, and yet another time Tom, Dick, Bob and Harry. Obviously, one method is to cut and paste the rows into a single worksheet. Are there more elegant solutions that could easily be handled by very basic users? Worksheets are stored in a single folder along with a separate worksheet used for validation rules (as you can guess, this would ideally be a database application but for various economic and political reasons we are using Excel). One possibility, if straightforward, is to use Access to consolidate data then export it back to Excel for analysis. I've scoured the various threads but have not found a situation mirroring mine. The number of rows for each worksheet is generally less than one hundred, but there will be a few exceeding several hundred. Total numer of rows of the resultant master worksheet will not exceed 10,000.
I'm trying to search through a group of Excel files for specific values in column B and then copy and paste the value from column C of the same row into the current worksheet if the search term is found. Thanks to some help from turtle44, I can do that if the search term only appears once, but if it appears more than once, I can only find the first occurance.
I have searched through te archives and found lots of people asking for the same thing. The common suggestion is to use .FindNext, but no matter how I try to use FindNext, it doesn't give me the results I want. It either seems to find the first occurance again or to find nothing at all.
Here is a simplified version of my code, if someone could just explain how to find the second occurance of "Use Code" and past the relevant value into column F of the destination workbook, I'd appreciate it and I should be able to work out the rest on my own.

I've been working on a variety of ways to display a 'loading' animation into Excel while other processes are running and although there seems to be a lot of strategies out there, none seem to jive with the form I've created. I've been reading a lot about "DoEvents", because that seems to be the common theme in trying to display a UserForm while other processes are running. However, I just don't have enough of a grasp of how it works to make it function properly with my form.
Basically, the form I have features several combo boxes, several command buttons, a few text fields and a bunch of labels. On initializing the form, captions for the labels and items in the combo boxes are added based on the ActiveCell and its surrounding values. Additionally, it includes an 'UPDATE' button that changes the captions and values on the form itself without hiding it, and once again makes reference to the active cell. This 'UPDATE' function can take quite some time and this is where I want to have a loading animation running.
Like I said, I've tried to achieve this in a few ways and the most hopeful avenue seems to be creating a separate UserForm with a WebBrowser element that references the animated GIF in question. However, when one UserForm is showing, the code from another will not run until it is closed. Thus, if I call the animation from the UPDATE button, the animation form will appear, but the update itself will not occur until the animation has been manually closed. Which defeats the purpose of a loading animation.
I understand that "DoEvents" is supposed to surrender some of the allotted processor power from the application so other code run, but the documentation surrounding it is rather convoluted to me. I can get it to work for simple operations, but I have not been able to simulate a situation where the command button on one form will show the animation form, run some code and then hide the animation with one click.
I have created 2 seperate VBA's that I would like to combine and improve upon. One removes Duffs, and the other eliminates blank rows. My goal is to do a copy and paste/special, then remove the duffs, and then delete all rows that do not have data in column H.
I have tried several VBA's listed on this sight, but cannot seem to get a VBA that does everything I need it to do, and do it quickly. I have attached an example of my spreadsheet.
I want to open each file in a folder, one at a time, and save each file with a new name (based on cells in the worksheet) to a different folder. This is what I have so far:
Sub aaa()
Dim i As Long, files As String, data As String
Dim fName As String
ChDir _
"C:Files1"
Cells.Select
Range("A1").Activate
Selection.ClearContents
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
i = 0
files = Dir("*.txt")
Do While files <> ""
Open files For Input As 1
This code doesn't open any files unless there is a value already in the cells that fName uses.
about making my code a bit more useful.
I started with a basic code as below which basically looks at upto 1000 part ids in column A and goes to my database to find corresponding Product Codes from a table in the database call PART
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 created this macro (below) using the record function but when I kick it off it takes 40 seconds or more to run.
