How to retrieve the password from the named variable after closing?
This is to protect and unprotect the workbook whenever I open and close it to timestamp a spreadsheet in it. I don't want the daily user to be able to see the time stamped spreadsheet and so need to keep it hidden and the spreadsheet protected over the course of many days when I'm not round.
I've been playing around with the API functions (specifically, InternetOpenURL) to retrieve the contents of an HTTP webpage and store the information within a text file, using Excel VBA. It works great for any "normal" webpage not requiring a "Username" and "Password" login. I can't find any examples on how this is done for a webpage requiring such a login? I've heard you can do this via sending the appropriate cookie to the server, but I can't find any documentation on the web? Does anyone have any idea on how this functionality is achieved?
I have several excel files in a folder, and they are named:
AA v.5 AA v.6 AA v.7 AA v.8 BB v.5 BB v.7 CC v.8 CC v.6
The "AA" and "BB" are names of who created it and v.5 are the week it was created.
What I would like to do is in an Excel file be able to choose to retrieve information about for example how man files with v.5 in its name.
OR information about all files with "BB v." in its name (to see all files created bye BB)
Or "BB v.4" (all files created bye BB in week 4) Or "BB v.4"+"BB v.5"+"CC v.6"
The reason for this is that I would like to be able to create statistics from this so that I can see how it has changed like in a graph. So that I can see the difference and compare how many files BB and CC have created and which week.
In column B, I have a series of named ranges. The named ranges can vary in order. If I wish to reference a range from a named range say Range("I") to the next unkown named range,
I am attempting to create a rather complex macro to format periodic raw data being made available to me; this data centers around a main column. The column of interest in these raw data reports is of variable length; I wish to apply a name to this column in order to make it easier to perform calculations. I know how to write VBA code to select every cell in a column down to the point at which the column becomes empty space, regardless of how much data is in the column, and I wish a include naming of the range in the macro. However, all my resources imply you must give the exact definitions of the range when writing the name application in VBA. Does anyone know if there is a way to include naming of a range in a macro without knowing the range's exact size? Put another way, is there any way to apply a name to an already-selected group of cells without giving the exact dimensions?
The problem exists with the lists I use. I have a "settings" sheet, where users can choose from preset values to run in the program. E.g. "Urgent", "Semi Urgent" and "Non Urgent" (there are a lot more values, but those will do for now." and the idea is to run them 1 at a time.
However, I've now determined that 99% of the time, they're going to be run 1 after another, that is to say run the program once for "Urgent", then again for "Semi Urgent" and then again for "Non Urgent". So I'd like to loop through these. Again, not a problem, you'd think.
So I added a new value to the list; "All" which users can select to invoke a list. Again, not a problem, I already have the list as a named range, "DmgList" and I can cycle through it. I ran the following test code to see if it would work in theory...
I have a userform which opens when the workbook opens. Ideally Id like to have the userform open without the workbook coming up and have the workbook close when you close the userform. If thats not doable then is there a way to just close the workbook when the userform is closed?
I'm trying to write a vlookup where both the lookup value and the table_array are variables. What I'm trying to do is get a set of dependent drop down boxes to serve as the input for vlookup. The first drop down box contains a list of named ranges and the second contains a list of possible search values. If I manually input the name the function works, but if I refer to it with a cell reference or the indirect funtion it fails. For example:
I am trying to use a combination of dependent named ranges and variable length ranges, so one can select in eg Col A truck name from a drop down list, and then in Col B, the engine variant only for that make of truck. The indirect(substitute) function works well if I define the dependent range name (the engine variant) using actual cell refs. However if I use the variable length name definition as described in Ozgrid (ie with offset function), I get an error message and the dropdown menu freezes. Is there anyway to overcome this without resorting to VBA?
The code below is for a macro that allows the user to create a list of contacts. The column containing the names of these contacts are then referenced by a userform (code not present) by way of a Named Range. I want to update the named range whenever the user adds another contact so this new contact shows up in the user form.
I am currently referencing the range containing the names using R1C1 style, but I cannot get the variable aspect to work correctly.
I recorded what I wanted but don't know how to generalise it so regardless of sheet name it can be sorted instead of specifically looking for "leanne final test" worksheet and sorting it by precise cells.
I have starred the section out so you don't have to focus on the rest of the code. Initally I ask for the file to be opened using WeeklyFN, would I need to use it again somehow ?
When opening a new Excel file, it is asking me for a password to an old excel file that was password protected, which I have deleted from my computer. It is still asking for this password every time I open a new or existing file. When I hit cancel it lets me open the file.
I have a spreadsheet, which has certain worksheets that are password protected. I need to make changes to some of the formulas, and the VBA modules, however I cannot remember the password!! Is there a way of identifying the password??
I have a named range, called SubjectNamesPastoral on a worksheet called Worksheets("Group to Teacher")
I can't assign the named range to the rngSubjectFamilyRangeOnSubjectUsedSheet variable in vba.
the first two lines of code work fine, the msgbox shows "E100:E105", happy days!
However when I try to assign the same range to the rngSubjectFamilyRangeOnSubjectUsedSheet variable, the debugger runs past the 'Set' line without error, but throws 'error 91' at the second msgbox.
Range("G7").Select Selection.Copy Workbooks.Open Filename:= _ "Q:PublicPAYMENTS Q&RREPORTSSuspense Activity BUSINESS2008 - Suspense BUSINESS - Activity Reports2008 Avon.xls" Application.CutCopyMode = False ActiveWorkbook.Save ActiveWindow.Close End Sub
When i open the workbook it requires me to insert a password, i tried to type this but excel will not follow keystrokes, i then inserted the password in cell G7 which i then copy and paste, which you can see the copy at the beginning of the macro.
Is there a way where you can get it to insert the password so i can open the workbook in a macro.
What im trying to do is save 26 suspense spreadsheets by just clicking on a macro.
I have a sheet that is password protected. I have this code attached to a command button. It will unlock the worksheet, autofilter it, print it, unfilter it, and password protect the sheet again. However it is protecting it without a password. I need to have it protected with the password so that someone will not be able to just go to tools to unprotect the sheet.

I have a master sheet and 102 'advisor named sheets'. The master sheet is updated daily with information (number and text) along 1 row in different columns (A:W). I would like when the advisors name is typed (W) =joebloggs! for this whole row to be auto input on joebloggs sheet. There can be multiple of these entered daily for same person, so the information would need to populate on the next row so not to type over the previous entry.
I need to create a named range on multiple sheets with the same named range & i cant figure out how to do this. EG :- I want to create a named range called "_SubUnitRows" on sheet1 starting from "A1:A50" & other named range again called "_SubUnitRows" on Sheet2 starting from "A1:A25" ...
if I can use a named criteria as well as a named range. In essence what I am looking to do is count certain cells that meet the criteria in a certain named named range,
I would like to combine List1 and List2 into a 3rd named range called List3. I was wondering if this were possible without using any additional cells/columns (i.e. I don't want to use Column C like in the example shown in the link above).
Though VBA is very similar to VB6 (which is what I took a course in a few years ago) there are some things I can't figure out. One of them is ending and closing a procedure (i.e. if an "if then" statement is not met). In VB6, if I remember correctly, you would use "Me.Close". What is a similar method in VBA for taking this action?
Is there any way to have a macro, that is started from the immediate window, close the immediate window when it's done. My macro closes the immediate window, but as soon as it ends, the immediate window reopens and my cursor is inside it.
Ok so my code below works fine except for when the user selects yes to the prompt and cancel in the save box. When that happens excel attempts to close and crashes. I want it so if the user says yes initially and then hits cancel the sub will cancel and the workbook will stay open.
I have a macro that once it's run, it quits the application. The problem is that once it activates, it closes all the excel worksheets. What I want to happen is that if it is the only excel workbook open I want the application to quit, but if there is another workbook open I want it to just close itself only and leave the other ones alone.
I have a perfectly functioning piece of code. There is still one snag, however. In the process of running the macro, three new workbooks are opened. I would like to close all three of those workbooks at the end. I am using the following procedure for each of the sheets:
To open the worksheet
Code: Dim wb As WorkbookMsgBox "Please select the Stakeholder File"SHFile = Application.GetOpenFilename("Files (*.xls),*.xls", , "Please select the Stakeholder Workbook")If SHFile "False" Then Set wb = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=SHFile)
To close the worksheet at the end:
Code: If Not wb is Nothing Then wb.Close SaveChanges:=False
The only problem is that I am getting bugs when closing multiple workbooks (3). I have assigned the names wb, vb and ab to the three workbooks.
I 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:
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.
I have some VBA code which opens another workbook, copies data from the first sheet in there and pastes into the current sheet before closing the workbook it got the data from. Is there any way of suppressing any messages associated with closing the other workbook? i.e. do you want to save - or possibly automatically generating a no message to the prompts?
