Referencing User Selected Workbooks
Aug 5, 2008
I would like the user to select two files, the macro then inputs a formula that includes vlookup to the other sheet. However i am not sure how to reference each workbook.
Sub InsertLocationContents()
Dim rng As Range
Dim LastRow As Long
'OPEN CSV FILE WITH LOCATION CONTENTS
csvFN = Application. GetOpenFilename(Title:="Select Location Contents csv file")
If csvFN = False Then
' They pressed Cancel
MsgBox "Stopping because you did not select a file"
Exit Sub
Else
Workbooks.Open Filename:=csvFN
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _
csvFN, Origin:=437 _ .............................

I have this excellent code which I found on here that looks at the data in column A, looks at the data in column B & then returns the differences ie.
A_____________B_________C___________D______________E
John________Jimi_________________Not in A_______Not in B
Paul________Sporty________________Jimi____________John
George______Ginger________________Eric____________Posh
Ringo_______Scary_________________T-Bone__________Baby
Posh________Eric

I'm trying to set-up a costing system as follows:
Each job has it's own xls file, this is a list of manually input costs and a total cost at the bottom (total is the same Cell reference: G24) for all xls files. The xls file is named the same as the job - F0001, F0002 etc.
At the end of every month we then want to create a master list xls file for all jobs being invoiced that month. This is a list of all the jobs - F0001, F0002 etc. In Column A, and the corresponding cost totals in column B.
In the master file we want to be able to type in the job reference to column A (i.e. the file names of the single job files -F0001, F0002 etc) and have the corresponding total for that reference display automatically in Column B (i.e. Cell G24 from file F0001 will display in the master file cell B1, when 'F0001' is typed in cell A1).
Ideally the master file would display all the individual entries automatically, so no need to input the job references either - simply scanning the directory for the other files present and creating a list automatically in the master file, alternatively it can get the job reference from Cell A1 in the individual job files, instead of from the file name.

I'm trying to get a system setup with a workbook acting as a reference document, sort of read only and on a separate server. Which is then referenced by another "working" workbook, no problem so far other than I want to be able to view/show images from within the main reference workbook in the destination working workbook. I want this to happen when a user inputs a code, it should populate a series of cells including showing a small jpeg of said item.
For example if I use the camera function it doesn't do as desired when the main reference workbook is not currently open.
I was hoping to avoid macro's or vb if at all possible.
I'm a bit of an Excel novice though have limited programming experience in other languages / applications. I'm also a complete novice when it comes to forums and threads etc. so excuse me if I mess up protocol at all.

I have a workbook for each day recording energy usage from 52 meters,
I need to collate the data on a single workbook.
The only way i can think of doing it is to use the INDIRECT function but this will not work on closed workbook.
I need to sum the contents of B1:AW1 on the closed workbook and input that into a cell on the new sheet.
then repeated for B2:AW2, B3:AW3 up to B52:AW52 once this has been done the process needs to be repeated for 31 workbooks.
The end product should be 31 Columns (one for each day ini the last month) and 52 rown (one for each meter) and the total daily consumption for each meter (sum of column B:AW)

I'm trying to optimize code by avoiding activating other worksheets, but I'm running into a problem with a match function.
I'm using a workbook called "Template" and then opening another workbook called "DCP" and trying to use the match function to figure out what row data is on. I can get this first line of code to work:
HTML Code:
MatchedRowNumber = WorksheetFunction.Match(Combo, Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A:A"), 0)
However for that to work, I have to activate the other workbook. I want to avoid that and stay within the "Template" workbook. I think I need something like this:
HTML Code:
MatchedRowNumber = WorksheetFunction.Match(Combo, DCP.Sheets(DCPSheet).Range("A:A"), 0)
That one however doesn't work... looks like I have the wrong syntax.
Below is an excerpt for the code in case something is wrong with how I set the variables.
HTML Code:
Sub StockOrderByDCP()
Dim Template As Workbook
Dim DCP As Workbook
Dim MSS As Worksheet
Dim DCPSheet As Worksheet
[Code] ..........

I have a spreadsheet I am trying to create for my mother, it is a relatively simple spreadsheet Date, Time, Guest Name and Vendor columns on the totals worksheet. I also have Monday - Friday sheets set up which have the same columns as the totals sheet.
Throughout the week entries will be made onto the daily worksheets showing the sales data (date, time, guest, sales rep, etc.). I'm trying to get my totals sheet to take every entry from each daily sheets (mon - fri) and place themselves into the totals page. I am not sure if I would be able to make just one formula that will look at that particular cell across each worksheet or if it would get far more complicated.
I was wanting to post the file I am using but I was unable to make an attachment.

How to copy a formula (16 columns) from a workbook to another, without referencing the source workbook.
Some people are using tricks such as replacing the equal sign "=" for another character such as "^" then using replace all to put the equal sign back again... but this is too much trouble.

So my issue this time is that I have a bunch of columns that correspond to a month. If the user wants to view data from that month column then they have to link to that cell specifically (the worksheet being used is different than the one in which the month columns are)
My goal was to create a single cell in which the user typed in a month abbreviation such as jan, feb, mar.. so on and so forth. From there they correspond to a vlookup table which tells you which month is in what column (because that part never changes) so jan is in column c and feb is in column d... continuing until december is in column n. So the vlookup corresponds to the table and that works fine, type jan into the cell and the vlookup returns c. So i think this will work.
My problem is that in the cell I am typing this in I want it to be a part of a whole cell reference such as c5 or d7 where the 5 or 7 is a constant (I have that part down) however the reference is to another sheet. So in sheet 2 I want to reference sheet 1 i.e.
Formula: [Code].....
<-- is the desired return.
Right now (in sheet 2) I have
Formula: [Select Code] .....
Which returns the desired d5 but as text and not referencing sheet one. I tried
Formula: [Code]....
But this makes the vlookup malfunction (i think it starts looking in sheet 1 for the month cell but it is not and can not be there.
SO how do i force a vlookup to turn into a cell reference, and how do i make that cell reference come from a different worksheet without causing the vlookup to malfunction.

I searched but didn't find exactly what I needed. I have a workbook with 31 sheets. It is a price guide with each category on a separate worksheet. I figured out how to list the sheets on a separate tab. What my client wants is the ability to:
1. select certain categories for printing, the ToC, Cover and backcover pages have to print in every case
2. the ToC has to change depending on the sheets selected.
I'd rather write some code and give him an an easy command button rather then teaching him how to select non-concurrent sheets and printing only active sheets.
What I'm really stuck on is the updating of the ToC with active sheets only (category and starting page which changes depending on pages selected).

I have an Excel file that contains formulas that reference external workbooks on a shared network. Each month, I copy the column of formulas over to the next month's column. Then, to update the file path, I highlight the new column and do a Find-and-Replace, swapping the previous month's name for the current month. This practice works fine. The only thing is ... the "Open File" promptbox appears for each formula where I updated the file path (i.e. and this can be hundreds instances!). I wind-up having to choose the file from the exact same file path. It is an unnecessary, and annoying extra step to take.

I currently have a macro that takes a user selected name and date and creates a time sheet for the selected name. This works just fine, however i have to select each individual person and run the macro for each person, how to automate that part of the macro, so it will automatically create the said sheet for all person at once, rather than me doing it manually.
[Code] .....
The 'CurrentMonth' variable is user selected from a list, and will remain that way.

I have a form that asks at what row the user wants to start with a selected range then how many rows to select. There will always be 21 columns selected with this range. I am still learning but it has to do with something on how I am setting the Start object. It is not being recognized.
Dim Row As Long
Dim Selection As Long
Dim Start As Range
Row = txtStartRow
Selection = txtHowMany
Set Start = Range("A" & txtStartRow).Select
Range(Start & ActiveCell.Offset(Selection, 20)).Select

how you would write a macro to move a selection of sheets to a workbook called Digi's in the D drive. Also if there isn't a Workbook called Digi's already it needs to add one. I've found some code to loop through sheets but nothing to show what sheets the user has selected

I am using this code to copy columns C,D, and P from a user selected workbook into position C,D,E of workbook "Checklist.xlsx" (the one from were I run the VBA code). I don't have a clue about VBA, just have been gathering info, but the code works pretty fine. The only issue is that it opens twice the workbook "wbExt" hence the system prompts me if i want to reopen the already open workbook.
Some questions:
1) Is there a way to copy the 3 columns at once? something like "Columns("C:D, P").Select".
2) Is there a way to select the workbook from were to copy the column without needing it to actually open?
3) is there a way to paste the columns starting from row 3 instead of row 1 (Range("C1").Select)?

On the first row of a spreadsheet template is a <hidden> contiguous series of conditionally formatted cells (range name "stdRow" =production!$1:$1), with formulas, that I want a user to be able to easily insert at whatever row they might be in a worksheet.
If, for example, the user is at D24, then clicks the [InsertRow] button that I have positioned at the top of the worksheet (in a fixed pane), I want the attached macro to insert an instance of "stdRow" directly underneath the user position (at row 25, in this case). The use's position should still be at D24 when the macro finishes. If the user clicks the button multiple times, multiple rows should be inserted (again, without changing the user's position).
This is what I have tried so far:

I want to do a concatenate for multiple fields, but want the user to specify which cells should be concatenated by entering this in a few fields. What does this formula (or VBA) look like?
Let's assume there is the possibility to concatenate a maximum of 4 cells. Call the 3 cells that will be concatenated cell1, cell2, cell3 and cell4.
On the first sheet of the workbook the user enters the following:
cell1 = Sheet2!A4
cell2 = Sheet2!B4
cell3 = Sheet2!C4
cell4 = Sheet2!D4
Here are some cells and their values:
Sheet2!A4 = Hel
Sheet2!B4 = lo
Sheet2!C4 = World
Sheet2!D4 =
Upon enterring the information after the = sign for the cell1, cell2 and cell3, the formula for the concatenate becomes: =CONCATENATE(Sheet2!A4, Sheet2!B4,Sheet2!C4 ).
The result of the formula is: HelloWorld
If I now change the values of cell1, cell2, cell3, and cell4 the following should happen:
cell1 = Sheet2!B4
cell2 = Sheet2!C4
cell3 =
cell4 =
The formula for the concatenate becomes: =CONCATENATE(Sheet2!B4, Sheet2!C4).
The result of the formula is: loWorld

I'm trying to create a macro that allows users to hide or unhide selected rows, either via toggle or userform. The macro I have looks like this, but for some reason it doesn't hide the rows:
Sub Hide_Range()
Dim UserRange As Range
DefaultRange = Selection.Address
Set UserRange = Application.InputBox _
(Prompt:="Select Range to Hide:", _
Title:="Hide Range", _
Default:=DefaultRange, _
Type:=8)
Rows.Select
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End Sub
what's wrong with my code and how I can further develop it to let the user decide whether to hide or unhide the selected rows?

I'd like to import column A,E, H, and I in different 11 workbooks in MYdocument folder to one Master workbook.
I'd like to import 'Name' and ' ID' in cell E3 and C3 in each different 11 workbooks to cell A1 and cell B1 in Master workbook.
Starting row for Column A,E,H and I are 'row 6' because row1 thru 5 are title, name, and comments.
In the Sheet 1 in Master workbook will be the Main sheet for command buttons, so I want to import after Sheet1 in Master workbook.
I want to import each worksheet , not stacked type. I got 11 workbooks in my document right now, but numbers are always changing. I also import in row 2 in Master workbook because I need to add title or button on row 1 in Master workbook.
How can I import only selected columns from row 6 into row 2 in master workbook?

I have a workbook that is being used by many individuals. Within it contains links to an external workbook on a server. Currently the links in the workbook map the server to drive "T".
If a different user maps the same server to another drive letter, I assume these links need to be updated with the drive letter he/she is using for that server?

I am trying to write this macro so that I can optimize 181 outputs based on 2 inputs (columns A and B are inputs). Each row has a single output at the end of the row that I am trying to minimize. I want to be able to select as many of the rows that I want and have the code optimize each individual row. So far I can't get it to let me use variable cell references for the "ByChange:="$A$3,$B$3"." This is the hang up that is not letting me increment the macro to the next row. The macro works currently for the single selected cell, but until I can vary the ByChange portion, I can't automate it.

Have a person Input an Assembly Number and,Have Excel return a list of Part Numbers, their Descriptions, and a Quantity for each Part Number that will need to be packaged with the Assembly Number that was Input.
The output needs to be in the form of a check sheet (I can play with the formatting if I can get the information out) for the one Assembly Number input.The output can either be in a separate spreadsheet or a User Form. The spreadsheet is easier for me to work with but the User Form looks cooler.
I can use a VBA Function to Input the Assembly Number but then I need some way of searching a small table (about 20x20 cells) to find the matching Assembly Number and then return the Part Numbers, etc. to a check sheet so the parts can be packaged. Each Assembly Number can have several Part Numbers associated with it. Either unique to that Assembly Number or common to other Assembly Numbers. The Quantities can also be unique or common. A couple of simple examples might be:
Assembly Number - ANA0134
P/N Description Qty.
ANA0118 Widget thing 2
ANB0554 Thing Widget 4
Assembly Number - ANA0431
P/N Description Qty.
ANA0118 Widget thing 3
ANB0554 Thing Widget 4
ANC0023 Plain Widget 1

I created an addin that puts a formula in a cell to make use of a UDF in the addin. It works fine.
But when I make changes to my addin, save it as new name, load the new addin (same as the old but with new code for other things) and then open the workbook that had the UDF working, it now changes from
=customUDFfunction(1,2,3)
to
='C:Documents and SettingshomeuserApplication DataMicrosoftAddInsAddinV123.xla'!customUDFfunction(1,2,3)
The code I'm using to create the formula in the cell is
Cells(x, y).Formula = "=customUDFfunction(1,2,3)"
I'm assuming that when I create the formula in the cell it gets tagged somehow with the addin name and location. How to just put the formula with keeping it specific to the addin that created it?
