Reset Workbook To Original State
Dec 21, 2008
I am looking to create a macro button which will reset the sheet to its original state.
I have locked the cells users should not imput data into, and unlocked where they add their data.
At the end of every school year, they will need to be able to reset ALL the workbooks back to their original state with all the reference formulas.
I am thinking I will need to tell the macro to create a hidden copy of the workbooks and then upon hitting reset it will use the backup to override the current. But they will need to be able to reset at the end of every year.
I would like to have one reset button that resets ALL the workbooks at once, but if not, I could put a reset button on each workbook.
As I have just started my VBA training, I have a code that will create a backup and hide it, but I have no idea how to do the reset portion. And again, since they need to be able to reset it each year for x amount of times, I don't know how to get it to keep having a fresh backup and get everything to its original.

I have a worksheet with various data autofiltered. I know when I filter on one of the fields, the drop down arrow becomes blue. If I filter on one or more fields, finding which fields I have autofiltered can become hard to find.
This is my question -- Can I put a button or some type of one touch command were I can take those autofilters off and return the worksheet backs to its original state before I autofiltered?

Our Finance office created a spreadsheet with pivot tables. Attached is the file. In the Presentation tab, using the filters, values will be changed. Once changed, they want a way to reset the filters to their original settings. They, and I, are having no luck with this.

I'm trying to create an array formula that returns all the cities in a given state by imputing the state's abb in cell K2. The returned cities go into column J. California has the most cities(430) and the cities are 5000 rows deep.

I have been trying to edit a code which previously saved a copy in a new workbook to a specific folder/path. (Additionally it copies and clears some figures, but this is working as it should.)
However I would like the copy to be saved at the same location as the original workbook, regardless of the path the original workbook is saved.
I.e if I need to move the workbook containing the code to a new folder/location, when using the macro, the new copy should be stored in the same folder/location as the original one.
For now it is only saving the copy into "My Documents"
Code:
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 16-02-2009 by ceng
'
Sheets("Bunker ROB").Select
Sheets("Bunker ROB").Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
ActiveWorkbook.Path & Range("D3"), _
FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
[Code] ........

I have created a workbook that imports data from another workbook which is used frequently on a network drive. After I import the data to my new workbook, it locks the original workbook for editing. Is there a property that will allow me to disable this 'locked for editing' read only mode or any other way to get around this?

I recorded a macro in a workbook called masterschedule. The macro works only if I run it when I am using the masterschedule. Each week I open the masterschedule workbook and name it the current week, for example 3-26-07 schedule is the name of the most current schedule. I then open 7 other spreadsheets and paste information from the current schedule 3-26-07 (this week) onto 3 different sheets in all of the other spreadsheets. It works fine if I am using the masterschedule. Others have access to this workbook once it is named something else. I do not want to allow others to have access to the master workbook. Can someone help me with this? I've attached part of the macro below. I need it to work in whatever the masterschedule is renamed to.
Windows("MASTERschedule.xls").Activate

I don't believe this is possible but I've been wrong before.. Is it at all possible to Kill the current workbook using VBA? I " saved as" in another location and do not wish to keep the current workbook.

The problem is when I highlight a row with some color the original color of the row is gone, so I tried this code, and again, it's removing the original format and color for the row This is the code from McGimpsey & Associates : Excel : Highlight row with background colors
Code:
PrivateSub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Const cnNUMCOLS AsLong=256
Const cnHIGHLIGHTCOLOR AsLong=36'default lt. yellow
Static rOld As Range
Static nColorIndices(1To cnNUMCOLS)AsLong
Dim i AsLong
IfNot rOld IsNothingThen'Restore color indices
[code].....
How can I retain the range's historical color so that when I deselect the row it reverts properly?

A simple one for you, but again my Google skills seem lacking. This must be common practice but until one knows the key combination...
I have created a summary sheet with lots of formulas which analyse other sheets in a workbook. I want to copy this summary sheet to a seperate workbook to use as a template.
Of course, the copying process always links the new (template) sheet to the original workbook it was copied from. How does one copy without forging this link? All I want are the formulas copied across totally unchanged; I really *don't* want to manually edit 50 or so formulas!

I would like to create a copy of an open workbook.
Workbook.SaveAs would seem to be a possibility, but this closes the original workbook - I need to keep the original workbook open as well as the workbook it has been "SavedAs".
I do not want to close the first workbook and repoen it as there are instances where it may be protected and I do not want the user to have to reinput any passwords etc.

I have some code written to duplicate a template and rename the copy to "Working Copy".
But if I run the code more than once, it breaks as VBA tries to overwrite the sheet with the same name.
Would I would like is for the macro to check to see it already exists and duplicate the copy with some type of incremental integer. Thus the first duplicate would be Working Copy 1, and if the macro is run again, the duplicated copy would be Working Copy 2, etc.
here is what I have so far:
Sub SCButton()
Dim i As Integer 'for making Working Copy 1, 2, etc.
Sheets("SCTemplate").Select 'this file will eventually be hidden and thus the user with only see the wokring copies.
Sheets("SCTemplate").Copy After:=Sheets(4)
Sheets("SCTemplate (2)").Select
'some sort of If statement here to check for the sheets
Sheets("SCTemplate (2)").Name = "Calculation"

I'm trying to save a copy an excel file in the same directory of the original file. The code is pretty standard but it does not work if the file is stored in C: (only c: ) Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong? Anyways here is the code in case someone is interested in trying it out:
Sub CreateCopy()
ChDrive ThisWorkbook.Path
ChDir ThisWorkbook.Path
fileSaveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename( _
fileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", _
InitialFileName:="CMS_" & Format(Now(), "mm-dd-yyyy"))
If fileSaveName <> False Then
MsgBox "Backup copy saved as: " & fileSaveName
End If
End Sub

I want to have a user press a button on a worksheet page to save a copy of the workbook (and be able to name it and choose where to save it to) without closing or modifying the original. Note that if you "save as" manually it renames the workbook and closes the original.

I have an Excel 2007 Workbook that has a variety of different reports. I’m trying to find a way that will allow me to reset reports back to original setting after the report has been completed. Sometimes a report may take a couple days to complete, so closing and saving is a must. Any thoughts how I may achieve this.

At my work we are using Excel as a CMS to produce SQL scripts for insertion into a database. The data is then turned into mobile web pages. This involves multiple workbooks - 1 for each main page with the sub-pages as extra worksheets in the book.
Much of the data is duplicated so we have created master workbooks then copied them and laboriously referenced the relevant cells back to the original. That way if any data in the master is changed, all copies will change simultaneously.
This is obviously not the most efficient way of publishing web pages but we are stuck with it for now. So I am wondering if it is possible to write a VBA code to create a copy of the master and then reference all required tables in the worksheets automatically? The tables are all named ranges.

I have a workbook within which i have a worksheet that contains a lots of macro code (coded by me). As the workbook gets used by various people, i need to copy the worksheet and the macros across to the updated workbook, which doesnt contain the macro worksheet at all.
I have tried to copy it across by clicking on its tab and using the move or copy facility. This copies the sheet across as required. But for some reason, the macros all reference the old workbook. A small bit here for example for some reason opens up the old workbook and then performs the code in the old worksheet:
Sub SelectAll()
For i = 12 To 20
Set curcell = Worksheets("Form Generator").Cells(i, 3)
If curcell = False Then
Cells(i, 3).Value = True
End If
Next i
End Sub
As curcell is equal to worksheets...() i would have expected it to use the local worksheet, ie the one that the macro is attached to. So why is excel proactively hunting out the old workbook and sheet? is the method i used to copy across the sheet with the macros incorrect? If so, how should i go about it?

I have a workbook that is accessed through a network by many users. The one problem that occurs with certain users is that they leave the autofilter on when then are in the spreadsheet. It has an autofilter on each title, and the user initials are an option to filter...certain users leave the filter on when they save the sheet so the next time someone else goes in, it only displays the previous users results.
Is there a way to reset the autofilter for the user initials each time the sheet is opened?

I have a workbook that, when opened, sets the view to full screen. When it is closed, I want the view reset to normal.
The problem is that the prompt to close full screen appears rather than the view automatically resetting to normal.
What additional codes is needed to fully automate this?
I have:
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Application.Workbooks("PCAR Log.xls").Close (0)
Application.DisplayFullScreen = False

Using Excel 2010 - I have a large workbook with multiple worksheets - been using it succesfully every day for a long time. All of a sudden every empty cell, and any cell not specifically formated in every worksheet has a default cell format of Time. Any new workbook created is OK.. defaults to 'General' - But, if I add a new blank worksheet to this particular workbook it defaults to 'Time' format. How did the default cell format for this workbook become set to 'Time' from 'General' and how do i fix it?

I'm having a problem creating a Reset All command button that will remove user entered unlocked cell values from an entire workbook save for one specific worksheet. So for example, I have five tabs labeled as "DTF", "Week 1", "Week 2", "Week 3" and "Week 4". I want one single command button (placed in the "DTF" worksheet) to remove all of the unlocked cell values from "Week 1" to "Week 4".

Depending on the text entered into one cell, I'd like another cell to state n/a. For example, if cell a2 shows the text of cash, then cell b2 would show n/a.

Our state carries a 4% sales tax on all items except food and prescriptions.
Our county carries a 3% sales tax on everything.
Attached on my work sheet:
Column "C" determines if an item is either food or non-food.
"G5" is the subtotal of column G
"G4" is the S/tx on "G5" at 3%
"G3" is the S/tx on "G5" at 4%.
"G2" is the gross pay out.
My question is:
I'd like a formula for Cells "G3" and "G4" that can determine which items paid for in column "G" match a "N" or an "NF" in column "C".
If an item in column "G" represents a "F" in column "C", then there should not be anything in cell "G4" If an item in column "G" represents a "NF" in column "C", then there should be a figure in "G3" & "G4".

1 - If any cells (with data in it) in the "state" column contain any of the following abbreviations in it...
AB, BC, MB, PE, NB, NL, NS, NT, NU, ON, QC, SK, YT
Then all matching row cells in the column named "country" should say "Canada",
AND....(it must also meet this criteria)...
Criteria 2 - If any text in "Country" column is "Kryponite", AND "State" column is blank
If BOTH criteria 1&2 are met.....THEN...
then delete both the country & state columns
If not, keep both columns and highlight in light red any errors to this macro.
