I'm a noob to programming in XL, and am teaching myself through a project for manipulating vectors. One thing that has me stumped is that when I open the file in which I'm working, I get a "This action will reset your project..." message.
View 7 RepliesI am trying to get excel to open a MS Project file and then run a project macro on it.
What is happen is that when I run my code it works, and then excels VBA window freezes up and the run arrow goes away, and if I try to open project I just get a chiming noise and it won't open.
For now I have to select the MS Project file from a directory, but in the future I would like it to go through the folder and open all of the file in the folder
EXCEL CODE
Sub ImportMSProject()
Dim FileToOpen
Dim mpApp As MSProject.Application
Dim prjmacro As Object
'Identify the File to Open - START
FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename("Microsoft Project Files (*.mpp), *.mpp")
If FileToOpen = False Then
Exit Sub
End If
'Identify the File to Open - END
[code].....
I have encountered what seems like a very frustrating and stupid Excel vba bug.
When I use the worksheet.delete method. My vba project is RESET.
All forms object classes and variables disapear into the BIT BUCKET.
I have discovered that I can write a macro in Microsoft project that opens Excel
ActivateMicrosoftApp(pjMicrosoftExcel)
but this call does not allow me to specify a file to open, it just opens an instance of Excel (or activates the open instance). What I ultimately want to do it to, from a Project macro, open a particular workbook and then execute a macro in that workbook.
I have a table of projects with 1) duration in year, 2) time window (number of years of our planning cycle), and 3) start year of the project. I want to generate a list of project parts of all projects where they may take place. This will serve as an input to an optimization program.
So a project of 2-year duration should have 2 parts over any year within the time window. I am including the "impossible" ones for my developer to tag them as "0" when we run it through his code.
My task is to consolidate 4 Excel Project Lists (Workbooks) to a Master Workbook. The Project Lists has a different structure and almost different content. The relevant information is always on Sheet1 but it has completely different ranges. The only constant is the Project Number, which should be used to sort the information. Every Project should be listed only once with all the existing information.
I found a code written by Ron de Bruin which has already some components that I want to have in my VBA but I think there are still a lot of necessary adjustments to do.
Code:
Sub MergeSelectedWorkbooks()
Dim SummarySheet As Worksheet
Dim FolderPath As String
Dim SelectedFiles() As Variant
Dim NRow As Long
Dim FileName As String
Dim NFile As Long
Dim WorkBk As Workbook
[code]....
The Master Project List should has the headers in Row1 and the information listed below. The Macro should automatically places the correct information to the correct column. Some of the information are in 2 or more of the lists but they should be listed only once in the Master List.
Project Number
Project Description
...
1111E.000000001
[code]....
I guess a problem is that the structures of the Lists are quite different so there must be a kind of sorting process.
In the end I want to have an Excel File with the Macro and a Command Button and by clicking the Macro creates a new Workbook with the Master List.
It would be better if there is a variable range instead of a defined. Like the Macro searches the last row and starts at this row and column.
I have tried to record macro to protect VBAProject / lock project for viewing. But can not success by that way.

For example a total count of all values in col B if project description is "P" or "A". [I can do sumif functions but this is a countif and I cannot get this right].

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with 20 worksheets the first is a summary called Discount Set the 19 sheets with various names
The 19 sheets in column H4:H40 u enter a number greater than 0 which is the quanty required. This is used to calculate a price on which ever row it is entered
the selection must only affect numbers as there are rows that are just shading and they contain no data .
So u could enter quanties on serval rows of different sheets to get a total price displayed in the Discount set
What I want to do is have button on the Discount Set which will clear any quantity that does not equal 0 back to 0 in column H which will reset the total 0.00
I'm trying to protect my project so that others can't unhide a sheet I have tagged as veryhidden within VB.
I followed these steps:
1. Select project in the projects window
2. choose Tools
3. Project Properties
4. Protection tab
5. checked lock porject for viewing
6. entered passwords twice
7. clicked ok and saved
On another file this has worked perfectly as I wanted it to.
However on another very large file with multiple VB projects it is not "taking" on the project I need it to.
I can open the file, the VB project and change the setting on any sheet I need to without entering a password.
Add Project to 'database' I recorded my marco.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a macro in a workbook (WB1) that opens another workbook (WB2). After performing several other macros through user invocation with buttons, I close WB2 with the following statement:
Windows("WB2.xls").Activate
ActiveWorkbook.Close (False)
While the WB2 workbook closes okay, the WB2 project is still open in the VB editor. Does anybody know why this code isn't closing the project in the VBE?
The WB1 process can occur multiple times while Excel is open and each time a separate occurrence of the WB2 project is left open in VBE.
how to start and name a new project in Excel VBA. Will someone explain how to?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI know that a variable of string type is equal to "" before it's assigned a value. So I reset the value of strings to empty (i.e. "") when I want them clear of a value. I also know that variables of Variant Type are equal to NULL when they are unassigned so I reset them to NULL when I want to clear them of a value.
But what about a Long? When you declare a variable of Long Type or Int Type or Double Type, what is it's inital value when empty and unassigned. I assume it's not 0 since 0 is an actual number.
I want to reset my lng variable and clear it of a value. So I'm wondering what should I set to... How can i do this?
I have a textbox that pulls language using the following code:
Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_Enter()
TextBox1.Value = Sheets("Language").Range("B2").Value 'places the value of the cell into the textbox
[Code]....
Randomly and sporadically, when working in the textbox, the form seems to reset. By reset, I mean that the language resets to what was there originally.
In the below mentioned query, i want to reset the range according to the find result. Here the range I6 need to change with the active cell with a row down
Windows("Holiday Uploader Workings.xlsx").Activate
Cells.Find(What:=Reply, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate

When I execute a macro, and if during the macro execution I press the "Esc" key, the execution stops and I get a Microsoft Visual Basic window with the message that code execution has been interrupted with buttons to Continue, End, Debug and Help. If I click the "End" button, the window closes and Excel is at rest - which seems to be some sort of Reset process.
I have a need to execute that process while Excel is at rest.
Is there any way to code the process in VBA?
i have cells A1 to A10 filled with numbers
i have cells B1 to B10 blank
what i need to do is when something is typed in cell B1 - A1 to A5 are reset to zero and when i type something in cell B2 - A2 to A6 reset to zero.
I have tried to do this as a range ie
A1- A10 have numbers in B1 - B10 copy these numbers and reset if anything is typed in C1 with this formula =IF(C1:C5="",A1,"0") what it should do is reset B1 to zero if anything is typed in C1-C5 but only when something is typed in C1 does this work ..
I am not experienced at all with Excel, here is my problem: In column "A": I have 288 rows and has nothing but numbers in them. Row 1 is the lowest number, row 288 is the highest number. In each row the numbers typically increase; every once in a while the numbers may stay the same, but the number will never be lower. The numbers range from 0 through 600,000.
What I want to do is have column "B" follow column "A" until the cell total reaches 12000. The next cell in column "B" would then reset and start all over from "0". I want it to keep on reseting every 12000 counts. Another potential problem is that a majority of the time the cell value will not be an even 12000, 24000, 36000 etc. They may be more like A40: 11742 A41: 13201 etc.
I would like to write a Sub that will see if a workbook is open and if it is not then open it. I know how to have a macro automatically open a workbook, but I run into problems when the macro runs and tries to open an already opened workbook.

I have created a spreadsheet in Excel where it gives me a report of how many hours my employees do per week and it seperate them in different categories.
What I would like to do is find a way to match the cell's description with the amount of total hours that were spend on certain project.
So here is the scenario.
In my department there 6 employees that are assigned to work on certain projects in daily basis. These projects are called CRs and to identify them I've added a number after them.
So we will have CR0001, CR0002, ect. These are unique projects.More that one employee that could woork at the same project as well on other sections but I am only interested on the projects.
To help you understand what I am trying to do I will give you an example.
John is working on project CR0005, CR0006, CR0001. He has been working on them three projects for the last week.
Here is the summary of the hours:
- 5 hours on CR0005
- 10 hours on CR0006
- 5 hours on CR0001
This information is inputed in Excel spreadsheet Week 1 .....
I have attached a sheet with a sample of how my spreadsheet will look. This might involve a number of steps. I have actuals, forecast, and prior year information (for rolling months) for a number of line items. To the right, I calculate a variance (in total and %). What I want to do is create a list to the right (not sure how to format it) that populates the 10 items from the left with the most variance (units, not %). I would like it to populate the line item from the right as well as the number of units for the variance (columns F and H). Lastly, and I'm not sure if this possible, I might want to just select the items that are greyed out. That is, I would want the line items with the most variance but just from the greyed out lines. If this is not possible without a macro, I don't want to do it.
