I have an excel spreadsheet that when opened and closed prompts to save changes, even when no changes have been made.
The spreadsheet is a copy of another spreadsheet which has then been modified. The original spreadsheet doesn't have this quirk.
There are no 'links' in the spreadsheets. Which was my first thought.
I have made some changes to a workbook and now every time I want to close it I'm asked if I want to save the changes, even when I have made no changes. If I click 'Yes' to save changes the problem still occurs the next time it's opened & closed.
I have checked external connections and there are none. I have done a 'find' to check that there are no formulas looking at another sheet, which I cannot find.
This document has to have a live calculation function - I have read some suggestions around turning off auto calculations but this isn't a possibility and I'm not sure that this is where the problem lies.
The previous version does not have this problem, so it is something I have done between v2.2 and v2.3. I have attached both for reference. Note that they were originally xltm's not xlsx's - I could not upload macro-enabled templates, but the same problem occurs in v2.3 in this format.
I am using the...
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
... to capture when a user is about to close a workbook. I then give them a message: "Are you sure you want to exit? Changes you made since you last saved will be lost."
However, to make it neater, is there a way to only trigger the macro if they have made changes since the last save? In other words, if they have not made any changes since the last save, the message will not be displayed, since it is irrelevant.
Currently I have information that includes numerous distributors information on one sheet. The code below separates each distributors information into a new tab and a new workbook, names the workbook and saves it in the specified file path.
I am trying to figure out a way to use an InputBox to popup and ask the user where all the new workbooks will be saved at. Thus, avoiding the need to change the code each time you want the new workbooks saved in a different folder .....
I have a spreadsheet that has hyperlinks in it and is mostly protected to prevent changes. Is there a way to prevent the "save changes" dialog box from appearing when this file is closed as I have to make this file available to others and don't want them to get this message or make save any changes.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'd like a macro that will:
Save my workbook
Then
Open the SaveAs box with the path already pointing to a specific directory and with the Name and file format already entered (.xls)
This is basically to save time navigating through our folder structure (which is a real mess). I don't want to automatically saveas the file as the target folder will change each month and the last part of the file name will chance (month). So I'd like a bit of flexibility rather than total automation.
Is there a code I can use, through a private command button, that will exit the Excel program (not just the current workbook) without asking to save?

The code template below that I found on another forum seems promising, except when I go to the desktop to access it, the .csv file has what looks like the page's source code instead of the actual file I want. This may be because when I go to the url, it doesn't automatically download the file; rather, I am asked to save the file to a certain location (since I don't know the path name of the uploaded file on the site).
Is there any way to alter this code to accommodate this, or will I have to use a different code entirely?

In a workbook, I use a macro to extract a sheet and save it as xls.

Is it possible to open a template, prompt the user to enter data and have the template save itself as the user defined data?

If the folder macro does not exist, then it will prompt a message saying that the folder macro cannot be found, and the save as prompt will appear.
For a sheet that many non-expert users will use on different systems I need a macro that let's them save, print and send the results of their work. So I made a macro that makes a copy of only 1 sheet of the workbook and saves it with a given name to a given location. The problem is that I want a location prompt to ask the user where they want the file saved, while giving/suggesting them a fixed filename. A lot of different users will make and use their sheets so I need a certain naming policy to manage all the files. (date, location, etc)

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using Excel 2003, with Windows XP. I am monkeying around with a form to allow my boss to randomly assign employees to a daily task. There is a list of 15 names, but I'm just using the numbers 1 through 15 until I get the hang of this formula.
I am using MRAND, and the formula is working perfectly when I specify a set # of values to deliver. I wanted to see if I could allow him to enter the # of employees he wants to task in Cell A1 so that the number of random employees that are assigned varies with his selection in A1.
In other words, one day he could specify he wants 3 randomly assigned names to work on the task and the next day he could randomly assign 6 names/people, etc...
I thought I could just plug $A$1 in "maximum" in the formula below:
{=MRAND(maximum,1,15)}
But that's giving me a #NUM! error.
I am trying to analyse, in a set of data that how many followup made by a salesman between a particular set of dates. I've attached a sample. In this example I differentiate between people if the name and age are same. I know that it is possible with formula 'countifs' but how?

The workbook I have has a tab for Master List of Transactions - there is data in columns A through J. In column E, when a year is entered, the data in columns A through D is copied to a tab for the specific year entered in column E. When the data from columns A through D is copied to the specific year's tab, it does not change anymore. If the information is changed at all on the Master tab, the macro does not currently work to automatically update the information on the specific year's tab but I would like it to. Is this possible?
Here is the macro I currently have:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
' Code goes in the Worksheet specific module
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim rng As Range
Dim row_copy As Integer
[Code] ......
How to automatically update the year tabs for changes on the Master List of Transactions tab.
I have created the following in an effort to automatically goal seek whenever changes are made to the cell C2.
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Target.Row = 3 And Target.Column = 2 Then
Range("D19").GoalSeek Goal:=Range("C2").Value, _
ChangingCell:=Range("D3")
End If
End Sub
As far as I know, the Macro is running all of the time? When I use goal seek manually it works fine. Assuming the above is running, when I change the value in C2 nothing happens. Does the fact that I have a three sheet workbook make any difference? I am sort of lost. By changing the value in C2 I want Excel to change the value in D19 to match C2 by adjusting D3.
Application.EnableEvents = False
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Target.Row = 3 And Target.Column = 2 Then
Range("D19").GoalSeek Goal:=Range("C2").Value, _
ChangingCell:=Range("D3")
End If
End Sub
Application.EnableEvents = True
Doesn't seem to work either. However, I don't really know if other settings in the workbook are correct.
Is there a way of eliminating un-used rows & columns to bring your file size down.
I already know about eliminating unnecessary pages, and I've cleaned up defunct modules, etc., and anything else that's just clutter.
The Row & Column thing would be a big help.
If nothing is typed in and the OK button is pressed, it changes the entire sheet to values. I'd like the macro to stop if nothing is selected.
Dim sCol As String
sCol = InputBox("Select Column")
Set UserRange = Range(sCol & "9:" & sCol & "35")
UserRange.Value = UserRange.Value
How do I select a shape I have just created with BuildFreeform function? It is not convenient for me to reference the resultant shape as I have done below:
Public Sub DrawDoor(TileType As String, Xpos As Integer, Ypos As Integer)
With ActiveSheet.Shapes.BuildFreeform(msoEditingCorner, Xpos * 9 + 1, Ypos * 9 + 5)
.AddNodes msoSegmentCurve, msoEditingAuto, Xpos * 9 + 5, Ypos * 9 + 1
.AddNodes msoSegmentCurve, msoEditingAuto, Xpos * 9 + 9, Ypos * 9 + 5
.AddNodes msoSegmentLine, msoEditingAuto, Xpos * 9 + 9, Ypos * 9 + 10
.AddNodes msoSegmentLine, msoEditingAuto, Xpos * 9 + 1, Ypos * 9 + 10
.AddNodes msoSegmentLine, msoEditingAuto, Xpos * 9 + 1, Ypos * 9 + 5
.ConvertToShape
End With
Shapes(8).Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(200, 90, 20)
End Sub
I want to give the shape a name, without having to use Shapes(8) at any stage. Is this possible when making freeform shapes?
The first column is "Person Name" and the second column is date in format "6/27/2013". I want a formula to calculate the total number of calls a person made in the month of June.
