I have a userform that presents the user with 4 choices and once they click on one choice a macro runs that filters and formats the data and when the user clicks on the button start over it will reopen the file they were just using prior to the changes occurring. The reason for this is the same spreadsheet is printed up to 4 times with different information (remember the part where the data was filtered?). So basically the user clicks on option 1 the macro runs formating the page and then the user clicks start over (different userform then the first one) and the spreadsheet closes and reopens before the changes.
The way I have excel reopening the file now is by having the user input the file name into a text box and clicking OK this passes the file name to the open code in VBA. How can I tell the code the name of the sheet after the sheet is no longer active (because a userform was made active)? Basically the end goal is for the user to click over and excel will just reopen the file without any user input.
I noticed all the code that i have on a userform using activeworkbook will relate to whatever the last active workbook was "who would have guessed hay" Seeing thisworkbook used a lot i decided to go through the whole project and change all activeworkbook too thisworkbook.sheet1 During this i also made a few other changes that i was confident in, When i run it now it errors on the thisworkbook.sheet1. Is this the wrong way of using thisworkbook to make sure the code always deals with the correct file. (will this ever be affected if the file goes through a Save As) Or is it during my over conifedents that i have made a error somewhere else and the debuger is point me here cos it hates me.
But i want to adapt the "ActiveWorkbook.Sendmail" so I can attach my current workbook as it is, to the email.
Private Sub CommandButton10_Click()
Dim OutApp As Object Dim OutMail As Object Dim strbody As String Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") OutApp.Session.Logon Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0) On Error Resume Next With OutMail .To = "you@email.com" .CC = "me@email.com" .BCC = "" .Subject = "Testing send to multiple emails." .Body = "Please review." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & ActiveWorkbook.FullName .Send 'or use .Display End With On Error GoTo 0 Set OutMail = Nothing Set OutApp = Nothing
Dim Msg, Style, Title Msg = "E-mail has been sent " & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Press OK to continue." Style = vbOKOnly + vbInformation Title = "Open Issues List" Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title, Help, Ctxt)
I run the macro on a currently open workbook (name could be anything) and open another workbook (name known) and step through the sheets copying various blocks of data across to the first workbook. I need to Activate the 2 workbooks alternatively as I move data back and forth and move from sheet to sheet. What I can't work out is how to determine in code what the "unknown" workbook name is so that I can make sure I activate the right workbook in the code.
I tried Activating the workbook with the "unknown" name and setting a variable = ActiveWorkbook.Name. However the value of this variable changes during the code run when you activate the other book. Is there any way to collect this value and "freeze" it so it won't change as the code runs? At the moment I have got round it by ensuring the "unknown" book is the only one open before I start and refer to it as Workbooks(1) in the code.
I have the following code that is going to trigger an export macro and an import macro allowing the user to upgrade the version of their report;
Sub Upgrade_SLA_Report()
x = MsgBox("Is the file you wish to export from open?" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "If it is click yes" & vbCrLf & "If its not click No" _ & vbCrLf & "If you need to abort the macro click cancel", vbYesNoCancel)
Select Case x Case 6 MsgBox "Please use the Windows menu in Excel to ensure that the file" _ & "you wish to export from is the ActiveWorkbook!", vbInformation ' Missing step If ActiveWorkbook.Name = ThisWorkbook.Name Then Exit Sub ExpWb = ActiveWorkbook.Name Case 7 On Error GoTo Handler .......................End Select
Problem is, I have a missing step within Case 6 which allows the user to ensure that the file they are exporting from is the ActiveWorkbook.
I am trying to build a macro to be placed in a blank spreadsheet for use as a template.
My development platform is Excel 2003 on Windows XP SP2. The script was initially recorded as a macro against a single data file with absolute range references and worked both on my develpment platform and on the production platform (Excel 2000 on Windows 2000). However, I have been having fits trying to convert it to dynamic addressing for the PivotCaches.Add. I develop Excel solutions a few times a year and this pivot table is the deepest I have dug into OLE code, so I am not an expert and could have a simple problem. I included the entire macro because I am unsure if there are sideeffects to what some of it is doing. I am getting a 1004 error "The PivotTable field is not valid. To create a PivotTable report, you must use data that is organized as a list with labeled columns. If you are changing the name of a PivotTable field, you must type a new name for the field."
Since I do not get this error with the absolute references, I am puzzled as to what to fix. That is another reason for supplying the entire macro: ...
I have a workbook that is used by many people on a network- I am editing and saving data throughout the day, and the other users are constantly having to close and re-open thier file in order to have the most recent data. today i came across the '.UpdateFromFile' command in the help file, which would be perfect, if i could only get it to work. im guessing the problem is the expression, which would be the active workbook, but' ActiveWorkbook.updatefromfile' is not working. The file is on the network, remember, im guessing this is the problem. So, im also guessing i just need to get the syntax right for the filename.
I have used a code to find the character "-" and replace it with nothing ("") from several named worksheets across my workbook, which OzGrid helped me with before, and it worked fine. Now I've added the code into my module (at the bottom) it doesn't work. The rest of the code works fine, and it doesn't come up with any errors when I run it, but it just seems to ignore the 'find and replace' part of it.

i am creating an add in that will allow me to display all pivot tables in a workbook, their name, sheet location and source data in al listbox (called LBPivot) on a form (called FrmPivot)
My problem is that i am not sure how to make sure it points the focus to the activeworkbook and not the actual add in workbook?
I recorded the following macro to select all the worksheets in the Activeworkbook by clicking on the first worksheet and then hitting Shift Tab and selecting the final worksheet (thus '[Group] selecting' all worksheets in the active workbook).
End Sub How do you generalise the Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3")).Select if the number and names of worksheets varies from workbook to workbook?
I'm developing an excel addin using Visual Studio 2008. At the moment i'm trying to display a popup showing the value contained in cell A1. However, i'm getting a runtime error saying that xlWorkBook is null. I've been able to get this to work if i open a workbook but i want to be able to execute my code on the currently active workbook. I thought that ActiveWorkbook (also tried ThisWorkbook) would let me do this but i'm having no success.

I have a macro that creates and saves an XML file with a specific file name. Is there a way to modify this code in such a way that the user will be able to specify the path?
I do not want ThisWorkBook to close prematurely whenever the specified Activeworkbook is closed without saving because there are other tasks to complete. The Workbook_BeforeClose dun seem to fix it for my case below.
Here’s my situation. I want to copy data from a range of a particular protected sheet in 5 (password-protected) workbooks of a similar format, to 5 worksheets(unprotected) in ThisWorkBook, which is the Master Workbook. The password of the protected sheet is common to the 5 workbooks. The passwords of the 5 workbooks are contained in a sheet in ThisWorkbook. After copying the data from Workbook1 ( 1 of 5), ThisWorkbook are prompted for closure, when Workbook1 is closed without saving. Responding to the prompt to save or not to save, forces ThisWorkbook or MasterWorkbook to break the For-Next loop. By setting Cancel = True in Workbook_BeforeClose, I can stop Thisworkbook from closure, but I will still break the For-Next loop. I have considered the method of copying data from a closed workbook, but I dun think VBA allows copying or referencing a closed workbook which is password protected at workbook and worksheet level.
Here’s my coding :
Sub UpdateMaster()
Dim MasterWB As Workbook Dim TempWB As Workbook Dim Source As String
Set MyWB = ThisWorkbook For i = 1 to 5 Set TempWB = Workbooks.Open (Filename:=WB(i), Password:=password(i) ) TempWB.Sheets("ProtectedSheet").Unprotect Password:="SheetPasswd" MyWB.Sheets(i).Range(XXX).Value = TempWB.Sheets("ProtectedSheet").Range(YYY) TempWB.Close False ‘dun want to respond toclose ThisWorkbook else it breaks for-next loop Next i
I have a csv .txt file that I am importing into Excel, and then creating a pivot-table from that data. This results in 2 tabs within my workbook, pivot-table and data. Using the following code does everything I want it to, but when I re-open the saved .xls file I only have the pivot-table sheet. I'm specifying to save the full workbook, aren't I?!?

I have encountered some difficulty in modifying a macro I wrote into what I need. I created a macro that searches a column (Column C) for a cell value of, "stop", and then it copies everything above that cell and pastes it onto another sheet. In the sample data set that I was using, "stop" first occurred in cell C541, so the macro copies C1:C540 and pastes it onto another sheet. The problem is that the macro created an absolute reference to C540. What I desire is for the macro to use the 'Find' function to locate the first occurrence of, "stop", offset one cell above that cell, and then reference the active cell (which was positioned by these last two steps) in the range that should be copied. Basically, I'm hoping to have cells C1 through the active cell copied and then pasted onto another sheet.
A 'Days Attended' cell (N8) and a 'Days Absent' cell (O8). N8 needs to count the number of "Present" values there are on another worksheet. The other worksheet has dates across the top and names down the side.
When i use =COUNTIF("Attendance!C9:Z9", "Present"), and the next date comes along the formula changes to =COUNTIF("Attendance!D9:AA9", "Present")
ie. the reference moves a column across - the new date's absent or present is not counted. Using =COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Attendance!C9:Z9"), "Present"). is no good because when i add a new name i need the row reference to move down as a row is inserted. ie. both person's formulas count the same row. So, my question: I need the columns to stay the same - C:Z (leyway for future dates) and the rows to change as i insert or delete people from the system.
I have lets say 12 months of data. I have formulas that reference the latest 6 months. When I insert a new column to input a new month, how can I make the formulas include the new months without manually updating them.
EXAMPLE:
12 months of data exist in cells B3:M3 going from B3(oldest) to M3(newest). Formulas reference latest 6 months of data in cells H3:M3. When a new month hits, I insert a column after column M.I would like the formulas to now reference cells I3:N3 which is now the newest 6 months.
I have a workbook with 1000+ worksheets, all of which have 3-letter names. On a master sheet, I would like to make a query of how many non-empty cells there are on a subsidiary worksheet. This works:
Code: =COUNTA(ABC!A:A) What I'd like to do from time to time is input in column A a varying set of 3-letter worksheet names, say
AAB ABC CDE
And have a formula in column B that converts this to
=INDEX(INDIRECT('Quote Detail IP'!$C$10&'Quote Detail IP'!$C$5&"!$A:$DC"),MATCH(B1,INDEX(INDIRECT('Quote Detail IP'!$C$10&'Quote Detail IP'!$C$5&"!$A:$DC"),,1),0),MATCH(A1,INDEX(INDIRECT('Quote Detail IP'!$C$10&'Quote Detail IP'!$C$5&"!$A:$DC"),1,),0)) Where A1= "M16" and B2= "185%RPIT630" 'Quote Detail IP'!$C$10&'Quote Detail IP'!$C$5=QxTermAge63 Can some on tell me why this is raising a Circular Reference!!
How do I change a formula cell reference based on another cell's reference? I'm building a schedule that looks to a task's trigger and adds days based on that relationship. All entries in column "A" will be text and all cells in "B" will be the simple formula "=A2" or "=A3". Due date is calculated by adding the value in "C" to the preceding date in column "D". In the spreadsheet below, the trigger for "Budget set" is "Specs written" with 3 days added to the previous due date.
________A________________B_____________C_________D 1 Task___________Trigger_____________Days_____Due Date 2 Design begins__Proj OK______________10____10-Jan 3 Specs written__Design begins (A2)____5____15-Jan (D2+C3) 4 Budget set_____Specs written (A3)____3____18-Jan (D3+C4)
If the trigger for A4, "Budget set", changed from A3 to A2, is there a way that the formula that determines the due date in D4 could read the trigger cell reference in B4 so that the value in the corresponding row in column "C" is added in the date column?
I have the following formula in cell L51 of all sheets calculating the volume depending on the monthly index that is chosen from the drop down menu in a particular sheet. =If(MIndex=0, SUM(D33:L50),If(MIndex=1,SUM(D34:L50),If(MIndex=2,SUM(D35:L50), 0))). I am getting the following message and I do not understand what it is about.
Microsoft Office Excel cannot calculate a formula. Cell references in the formula refer to the formula's result, creating a circular reference. Try one of the following
Let's say I've ended up with the number 8 in Cell D4 for example. Is there a formula that can return the letter "G" (The 8th Column) so I can use it in future cell references ? If so, let's say we store that in Cell B5. How do I now refer to a cell in a chosen Row of that same Column by reference to Cell B5 ? For example if I want to refer to Cell G33 can you refer to this Cell in some form like Cell(Contents of Cell B5;33) ??? Don't want to use R1C1 type references if possible.
I've attached a sample. I'm attempting to make a formula to identify low quantities 7 or less and consolidated them to the stores who've sold the most. I would like the formula output the store who's sold the most. I've tried to use if,vlookup,hlookup,max combination and keep getting NA returns.
