Record Macro Relative To Selection
Jan 27, 2010
This recorded macro inserts a line below the cell that active when it was first recorded. It then copies some text and a formula to the line that was created.
Sub Macro11()
Rows("10:10").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
Range("A9:E9").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("A10").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("H9").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Range("H10").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("F9").Select
End Sub
If you run this macro again at a different cell position, it goes back to the first starting position and repeats the same action. I see that the cell references from the first recording are fixed in the macro. I can't figure out how to make the macro use the new current cell position as the starting positiion when it runs again.

i'm creating a spreadsheet with records of repair jobs on vehicles that my company is/has performed. the problem is that, the way our system works, there are currently no unique identifiers for jobs, meaning i cannot create a master list with various vlookup tables with only the information relevant for our engineers on them.
is it possible to create a macro or use some other system, that will create a new, unique code when a line/cell is filled in? because we end up sorting the list by different criteria on a regular basis (to find specific jobs) the system can't be relative (i.e. +1 to the code above).

I'm trying to find a macro that will run allowing the user to select a 'starting record number' and a 'finishing record number' when printing.
I have a spreadsheet that feeds from a master list in excel, from over 5000 records.
I need to print the s'sheet with any given indivdual record's information at any given time.
Individual prints are fine. However if I wanted to print from record number 1500 to record number 3000 it would take me all day.
Is there a way I can set up a macro so an option form pops up? allowing selection of "From record" and "to Record" ?

Im trying to record a macro that will enter a formula in a cell each time I run the macro
Drop the Lowest2:
=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE((SUM(C5:L5)-MIN(C5:L5)-SMALL(C5:L5,2))/(COUNT(C5:L5)-2))*Scale!$B$2*10),(IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(C5:L5)*Scale!$B$2*10),"",AVERAGE(C5:L5)*Scale!$B$2*10)),AVERA GE((SUM(C5:L5)-MIN(C5:L5)-SMALL(C5:L5,2))/(COUNT(C5:L5)-2))*Scale!$B$2*10)
Drop Lowest1:
=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE((SUM(C5:L5)-SMALL(C5:L5,1))/(COUNT(C5:L5)-1))*Scale!$B$2*10),(IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(C5:L5)*Scale!$B$2*10),"",AVERAGE(C5:L5)*Scale!$B$2*10)),AVERA GE((SUM(C5:L5)-SMALL(C5:L5,1))/(COUNT(C5:L5)-1))*Scale!$B$2*10)
I know I can write the formula in a simpler way, but I was asked to make it like this.
The problem is that when I enter the formula in the cell while recording. I got a message: "Unable to record" so this part can't be recorded

This problem seemed to revolve around "digital signing" with further macro changes done from a different machine (without the proper certificate). Excel warns of the problem and then "unsigns" the project.
I've got a problem with spreadsheets that I've been working on. Now, when I tell it to record a macro, I get the macro name, shortcut assignment dialog box and then an error "Unable to record." After "Ok"ing that dialog box, the normal recording macro dialog comes up. Also, lo and behold, there will not be a macro recorded.
I've got no protected cells or sheets and it doesn't matter what security level is set. It is a "signed" macro but I can take off the signature and still have the problem. I checked for "Help - About" for deactivated modules and there was none.

I recently installed Excel 2007, and have shared others' joy in searching for things on the ribbon. I tried to record a macro to insert an autoshape. Excel creates the macro, but drawing the autoshape is not recorded. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious ...

I seek advice on using the value of NOW() as a record ID in an address book program. Question #1: Do Excel developers often use a record ID? Question #2: What record ID schemes are fequently employed besides date/time? I have decided to create an Excel address book as an exercise to increase my knowledge of VBA, and also as a useful application for work.
I realize that a record ID is not essential in Excel in the way that it is essential in Access, but I feel the need to have some unique ID associated with each address, so that I may have different worksheets, with data related to a given Contact, sort and manipulate it, if necessary, but have the record ID as a way to restore the relationship of rows to a given Contact, and also, as a handy way to examine the data in the date/time sequence in which it was entered. I have experimented with the following code, to assure myself that I can access the number returned by the NOW() function, manipulate it as a string, and format in various ways if necessary.
Dim n As Double
n = Now()
sn = Str(n)
p = InStr(sn, ".")
first = Left(sn, (p - 1))
l = Len(sn)
d = l - p
S = Mid(sn, (p + 1), d)....................

I can record a macro that will sum a column of data at the end of data in that column - simple; my problem is getting it to work on other workbooks that have a different amount of rows in it. I tried recording the macro using the relative button as well as without using it, but either way I do it, I can never get it to work on a different workbook. For example, I record the macro, then remove a couple rows after to simulate running on another workbook, and then when I run it, the sum gets put in the cell that used to be the end of the column instead of the real end of the column…Same is true if I add some rows. I don't know if I am using the right terminology below (OK, I know I'm not) but it gets the message across best when I say I think I need something that will do the following (substitute "code" for "make believe code"):
1. Go To cell F1
2. Go To last entry In this column
3. Move down one cell
4. Sum F2:Fx (where x = one cell above current selection - the last populated cell In the column With data In it before the sum)
Instead of this (what I have right now)................

How can I run a DOS .bat (batch) file from within a Macro? This is what I came up with so far and it seems to work. The only thing is that I need this to have relative paths, running from the same directory the Excel Workbook is in.

I have recorded macros in the attached file to highlight cells that contain matching initials by using conditional formatting on the first cell and copying it to the remaining cells. The problem is that if rows are inserted above that change the first cell reference then the macro no longer works properly. Is there a way to use a relative cell reference within the macro? The macro buttons are in cells A4 to A13. I have no VB experience and created the macros by recording keystrokes and using tips found in this forum.

This one is a two parter. Part I is a bit of a necessity and Part II is a nice to have that would save me a boatload of time.
Part I: I need to assign a macro to a specific object in a cell. I've seen the code for targeting a static cell, but my data can be filtered and sorted.
For example, I have a cell in I6 that has text "Partial Deployment" that I want to run a macro on. If I were to sort alphbetically, this cell could end up as I20.
How to assign a macro to the text inside the cell? Also the text is not unique.
Part II: I would like to write a macro using relative referencing for similar to the below:
When user clicks on said object from Part I, the macro reads the corresponding column in that same row and users that to filter data on a separate spreadsheet.
Example: User selects "Partial Deployment" in cell I6, the macro references cell E6, copies the number "191", and uses that number to filter data on a separate spreadsheet.

I am creating an asset management sheet. For the formula I am trying to work out there uses 3 fields : ID, start date, and end date.
What I want to do is be able to show if the ID is duplicated within another record with an overlapping date. So an item is flagged if it is in the list within the same dates as another record. I tried a few countif formulas but with no success.. I may just be approaching the problem incorrectly though.

I am trying to hide a column titled "Test". This column is usually column E, but it is possible it can be moved to column D or F. If I use:
[Code] .........
Then column E is hidden, regardless of whether Test is moved left or right. The reason Test moves is due to the user inserting or deleting a column.

I'm a definite newbie when it comes to macros but can figure out formulas ok.
So I wrote a formula to break out a sort string and it got pretty complicated so I’m trying to create a macro so I don't have to write out the formula all the time. However the sort tag can be in different columns when I need this formula so I tried the "run macro" function to create a relative reference.
So it changed my formula from this:
PHP
=IF(ISERR(FIND("("&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(EM2))&")",EM2)),"",IF(ISERR(FIND("("&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(EM2)+1)&")",EM2)),MID(EM2,FIND("("&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(EM2))&")",EM2)+3,100),MID(EM2,FIND("("&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(EM2))&")",EM2)+3,FIND("("&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(EM2))+1&")",EM2)-FIND("("&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(EM2))&")",EM2)-3)))
PHP
"=IF(ISERR(FIND(""(""&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(RC[-1]))&"")"",RC[-1])),"""",IF(ISERR(FIND(""(""&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(RC[-1])+1)&"")"",RC[-1])),MID(RC[-1],FIND(""(""&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(RC[-1]))&"")"",RC[-1])+3,100),MID(RC[-1],FIND(""(""&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(RC[-1]))&"")"",RC[-1])+3,FIND(""(""&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(RC[-1]))+1&"")"",RC[-1])-FIND(""(""&(COLUMN()-COLUMN(RC[-1]))&"")"",RC[-1])-3)))"
Now my problem is in the first formula I need "$EM2" not "EM2".
I tried the obvious to me fix of R$C[-1] which did not work... And when trying to re-run the macro it puts RC143 which will not work because the sort string is not always in column EM.

I have a file that has 114 rows of data. One for each office I'm working with. I need to insert 6 rows in between each of those rows and type text into some of the fields. I recorded a macro (since I don't know how to write one), but it uses a static location for the rows and data, as opposed to a relative location. So, what happens is, I get the same data entered over and over again. Also, even if I get this to work right with a relative location, I still would have to run it 114 times. I'd like to create one macro that would do the entire document. Here's what I've recorded: .....

I need a macro that can run a serial# 1 t0 10 (or more or less) with A1 being starting point. Here is my illustration data.
Coloumn:A Coloumn:B
1 IrfanAneeza
2 Scooby Dooby Do
3 Dooby Dooby Do
4 Yaba Daba Doo
However, there is a little kicker in it. The range of coloum:B varies all the time i.e. B:B could be 1 to 10, it could be 1 to 3 etc. Thus, macro should list serial#'s based on the coloumn B:B range of data.

Im looking for code for a button that asks for a Record number, and it will delete the record. But the record number is written in cells as 'Record No.1' 'Record No.2' etc. But i want the messagebox to ask for a single number and it would delete that record. Now the position of the records is what will be the difficult bit about this code, but it has a pattern.
For Record No.1 i need deleting cells C2:J100
For Record No.2 i need deleting cells L2:S100
For Record No.3 i need deleting cells U2:AB100
If anyone could give me a bit of code that works for these 3 then i could waste a load of time filling the rest of them out.

using a macro im trying to paste in a sum formula, however this will be pasted onto different sheets and the number of records will be different for each so i cannot use absolute locations. the only constant is that all ranges will start in row I9. when it runs the following code
Range("G" & (ActiveCell.Row)).Select
ActiveCell = "Total"
Range("I" & (ActiveCell.Row)).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Sum(I8:R[-1]C)"
Range("J" & (ActiveCell.Row)).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Sum(J8:R[-1]C)"
Range("I:J" & (ActiveCell.Row)).Select
Selection.Copy
Range("I4:J4").PasteSpecial
it fills in =SUM('I8':I13) how can i make it insert it without the ' ' around the I9? and how can i select the two cells? (again, cannot be absolute..)

=SUMIF(mysheet!$L:$L,$A2&C$1&"09",mysheet!$M:$M). And on row 3, the formula is =SUMIF(mysheet!$L:$L,$A3&C$1&"09",mysheet!$M:$M). And this is done up to the last row. How do I do this?

I am currently working on a project where i am given a sheet that typically has several hundred rows of data and not seemingly organized in any manner. This document has 6 columns, and my main focus is a range of dates (in MMM-YYYY form) from around early 2000 to now that can have duplicates. The dates(Column C), have corresponding Usages (Column D), and Costs (Column F) and I need to add these values together and remove the duplicate months so I only have one Usage and one cost Per month.
My spreadsheet has 6 Columns of data, and varying number of rows. Currently, since I receive the numbers in an unorganized fashion, my macro organizes the data into a table and then sorts the table be date so I have the oldest dates first and the duplicates are adjacent. There may be varying numbers of duplicates, though typically 0 to 4.
