Repeated Task, Moving Informatin Between Works Books
Jun 14, 2006
I have string of tasks I need to automate so that they can repeat hundreds, maybe more than a thousand times. I have no experience with VBA, but I was looking through the VBA/Excel book published by this site and have been creating and adjusting enough macros for the last few days trying to figure this out. I have figured out the basic language and can follow simple instructions (big words scare me). Here are the tasks I am trying to automate:
1. I need to take a six digit string of numbers from one cell in what I have named The Primary work book.
2. Take those numbers and tack it on to the end of a file name (i.e. c:FileOtherStuffThisIsWhereOurNumberGoes).
3. Open the file, open the excel file within the file (which will also have a name using the same six digit number as before and maybe one other word/phrase, like rating or rating benefits).
4. Then in that workbook I need to go to the second page and take the result of one formula from a cell which will probably be the same cells (i.e. E8) in every file and paste that information in the appropriate columns in The Primary work book.
5. Repeat Step 4 in the same file, on the same page of the same work book, except one cell down (i.e. E9), which is also the result of a formula.
6. Back in the Primary Work book, we go back to the place where we started and go down one cell and the process repeats and repeats and repeats.

I am using code that creates a new workbook and then copies a number of sheets to the new workbook. I am using Application. ScreenUpdating = False but as the sheets are being copied over, the Excel task bar button jumps around.

removing duplicate rows and move other data frm rows to columns.xlsx.
I am attaching a sample excel sheet showing what I need to do.In the first tab, I have a list that includes duplicate rows (first column only). I want to remove those duplicate rows but I don't want to lose the data in the following columns which can be unique or duplicates as well.
see the desired result tab in the sheet to get an idea of what I am looking for as the end result.
Keep in mind that the actual source file I am working with could have up to 50000 row, and the expected results could be around 2000 rows. So nothing can be done manually.

I have 4 workbooks that I want to link together. The first three are exactly the same as each other in the setup, cell size ect, ect. The forth book or "book4" is the book that I want link to the other three books. I am planing on using a countif formula to add up certain symbols in designated cell ranges. Eg, Make a formula in Book 4, cell B4 to count all the black triangle symbols "" in the cell range B6 to B35 in Book1, Book2 and Book3 on each work sheet (There is 31 work sheets which represents a work sheet for each day of the month). If I can just get the formula for doing this I can aply it to everything else.
One last question, these 4 books that will be linked togther are used for each month. So every month I save them under a that months name, but if I have the books linked I will always have to keep updateding the formulas in book4 b/c it will still have the formulas for the previous month. Is there a better way to setup what I want to do or will I just have to keep changing the formulas each month as I update?

I am creating a new Excel sheet in a new Book, and I want to reference another cell in another Excel Book. OK I know how to do this.
But I want the following cells to "Automatically" get the corresponding cell values from the other Excel Book Sheet.
For example if cell B1 from Book2-Sheet5 gets the value of cell A7 in Book1-Sheet2, and B2 gets that of A8.... I want the following ones to get the corresponding values (B3 gets that of A9 and B4 gets that of A10, ETC...)

There are two books.First one is called Masterbook. This mah many formule, however in column 6,7,8 there are no formule.
Second book is called updatedbook.
This is linked with master book.
Therefore if masterbook cells are changed, the updatedbook be updated.
Is it possible if I change any value in column 6,7,8 of updated book , will automatically update the column 6,7,8 of master book by vlookup / vba.

Firstly... using VBA i'd like to disable any save function to everyone other then me and a colleague on a spreadsheet (The one below).... Is it possible that just the two of us will have the ability to save and no other user?
Secondly... On opening one work book... in this case "Productivity Test" i'd like it to simultaneously open "Productivity Test Back End" both saved in P:MI TeamNew Prod with the back end remaining locked totally.
The reason behind this is these two spread sheet's are linked via sums, productivity test uses the back end as a kind of data source so i'd like "Productivity Test Back End" locked so they cannot see it/amend it..
Maybe i could use a bit of code that updates the link everytime something is used as opposed to having the back end open at all...? What do you think?
The last thing, i have alot of macros that run quickly on my PC, if my manager opens productivity test and uses the spread sheet it appears to run alot slower.
There are alot of tables in Productivity Test that are hidden and only appear when needed while everything else remains hidden. The example below is one buttons code..
ub Selectdsrtablenew()
'Select the correct table for users to view DSR detail'
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Rows("23").Select
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = False
Rows("26").Select
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = False
Rows("36").Select
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = True
Rows("47").Select
Is there any way of stream lining the code here to make it smoother as it appears quite a few times in the report for different buttons.. Maybe defining table names?

I have a workbook called summary with a sheet called "detail" I have 4 workbooks Called week 1, week 2, week 3 and week 4. All the week workbooks have a sheet called Summary. I need to import the summary sheets from each week workbook into the the detail sheet. All workbooks are in the same folder. I need to only copy columns A,D,F,G.
If someone can post code or point me towards a thread I can figure what changes need to be made. I am getting better but slowly!

I have an excel work book with 6 tabs. I would like to have Excel move an entire row from one tab to another tab (removing the row and inserting it in the other tab). I.e. Example I have a tab with items that are marked as "Open Actions" so if I were to change the drop down to close. Excel would move that entire row of actions to the tab with the "closed actions" and insert into the next available row. Now if someone were to come back at a later date say no it should be reopened than I would change the drop down to open and excel would move that row back to the open actions tab into next available row. I tried a PIVOT table and no good I played with few macro and not.

I'm trying to copy rows from one workbook that is exported from access to multiple worksheets in multiple workbooks. I used a macro I found here from JBeaucaire that will copy the data for me but it over writes the information I have in rows 1-3 and also the rows below, 28-35.
Is there a way to copy the data without loosing the information in the first three rows and the rows below where the data goes?

I'm transferring data from one workbook to another. The first workbook ('Request Form') will always have a different file name depending on which user is saving it. However, the worksheet within that book will always have the same name ('Tab A'). Workbook and worksheet 2 ('PTS' and '2008' respectively) will remain the same.
Basically I want the macro to open 'Request Form' (whatever the name, wherever it's saved) and stay open as the rest of the macro runs. I need that file name to be a sort of wildcard, since the file path and file name will never be the same. How can I do this?
Dim TabA As Worksheets
Application.GetOpenFilename
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wbOpen = Workbooks.Open("Request Form.xls") --THIS NEEDS TO BE A WILDCARD
'Declares the ClientName
Sheets("TabA").Select

I have eight sheets that have lists of questions in, which I want to copy across to a results sheet if the answer to a question is 'Yes'. Each question takes up rows B:H inclusive, and I would want to copy them to rows B:H in the results sheet. The "Yes" value will be found in column F of each row.
How can I set up a macro to copy the entire rows (without formatting) into a results sheet properly? I've tried every solution I can find but always hit a roadblock somewhere.
Ideally I would like to have a 'populate' button on the results sheet that would find every question that was answered 'yes' across the eight survey sheets and import them into results sheet.

I have many workbooks which all have a summary sheet called summary, and which are all kept in the same folder (although this folder name/filepath may change from year to year).
I want to be able to set up the column headings and then copy the same set of summary information from each book so that it can then be used for analysis. The cells to be copies derive their value from formulae, it is the value that needs to be copied.
I attach a workbook with the format needed and the source cells. The source sheet will be password protected.
I know this is a question that has been raised before and I have searched the forum but not come across a question that is close enough to work from - my VB skills are appalling.

I'm a fairly new user to using VBA and I'm currently running into a little snag. I'm trying tu create userform which will let me know if a person already exists in my sheet by looking up the last name in "A", then looking up his first name in "B", if such entry exists then display a message saying " Yes". If entry user has not been entered in the sheet then use a combox, to select the reason , then choose a date ( i have a working date picker ). Then entry should be entered in sheet (Name, Surname, Reason, date).
Whats working, I can use all of the above to enter all the info into the sheet, what I need to do is verify if user is alread in there, if not, then add it. The so on and so forth

Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications. My file is only about 3mb in size, made up of 17 worksheets. These sheets are calculated by referencing to another file that contains all of the background data. The data file is also about 3mb, made up of 13 worksheets.
There are probably about 2 - 3 thousand formulas in the file in total, ranging including vlookups, sumifs, sumproducts, etc. When the data was contained within the file there was no problem. I moved each data sheet into a new workbook to trim the size of my file and also stop the incessant calculation and this is when the problem started. Now, when I open the file and am prompted to update, it will update to about half way and then throw up the error message!

I have 2 sheets with a formula in sheet 2 looking to pick up information from sheet 1. the formula in sheet 2 is:
=HLOOKUP(C8,'Cost-Effort'!$B$7:$AH$42,26, FALSE)
But C8 appears in W7 and X7 in sheet 1 and will only pick up the first Occurrence and I need it to pick up the second Occurrence for this specific task.

I have this excel workbook with VBA code that starts when the workbook is opened.
Every day at 12:00 the windows task scheduler opens the file (hidden). The problem is that my computer is not always turned on at 12:00 hence it would be better if I could store the file in the cloud and run task scheduler from there.
In an optimal world there also has to exist a dropbox connection.

I have a PDF sheet with info laid out like this:
Code:
Peter Paul Mary
Text Corporation
One two three street
Mars, New York 90000 USA
phone: (111) 555-2222
email: tellmewhy@yahoo.com
There are 10 names and addresses like this on each PDF page and the entire PDF file has 50 pages so to manually copy and paste each bit of info into separate cells on the spreadsheet's appropriate cells "Name, Company, Address, State, Phone, Email" e.t.c is too difficult.

I need a macro in a excel for the below scenario:
1)i have merged cells from A1:B3
2)if i click on a macro the output in the above cells should be as follows"
"Login to database"
3)if i run the same macro for the 2nd time the output should be:
"Are you done with the reporting?"
4)if i run for 3rd time the output should be:
"Logoff from database"
5)Say example if i run the same macro for 1o times i should get 10 different outputs....if i run for the 11th time the output should get repeat from 1st....
6)Output need not be in order....random also fine...
If possible gimme 2 different codes:
1)Output should be in the order wise from 1-10 and get started from1 again
2)Output should be random....

I have a sheet to calculate Time Elapsed based on StartDT & EndDt taking into consideration the actual working hours in any working day and the function exclude the weekend. I am not a guru in excel but i found this formula in this website .
=IF(AND(INT(StartDT)=INT(EndDT),NOT(ISNA(MATCH(INT(StartDT),HolidayList,0)))),0,ABS(IF(INT(StartDT)=INT(EndDT),ROUND(24*(EndDT-StartDT),2),
(24*(DayEnd-DayStart)*
(MAX(NETWORKDAYS(StartDT+1,EndDT-1,HolidayList),0)+
INT(24*(((EndDT-INT(EndDT))-
(StartDT-INT(StartDT)))+(DayEnd-DayStart))/(24*(DayEnd-DayStart))))+
MOD(ROUND(((24*(EndDT-INT(EndDT)))-24*DayStart)+
(24*DayEnd-(24*(StartDT-INT(StartDT)))),2),
ROUND((24*(DayEnd-DayStart)),2))))))
the formula works perfectly except for the fact that in our part of the world we have "Friday & Saturday" as the weekend days instead of Saturday and Sunday.
is there a way to get this formula or any similar formula to take different weekend days and do exactly what i need?

I've used Excel 2003 to write a macro to analyse some date from our internal proprietary database. I use some Perl to generate a bunch of csv files from the data, and the run the macro to generate graphs and statistics from that. What I would like to do now is run this entire operation as a scheduled task, so that, every week or so, the data is downloaded, the processing is done on the csv files, and the results are saved to a location to be viewed on our internal site.
I'm assuming that the best way to do this would be somehow run something from the command line (to be embedded in a script) which basically says "1) Open this csv file 2) run this macro 3) save the output to this location", but I can't figure out how this can be done.
