I am trying to return the value from "WorkbookZ" cell A1. The workbook is closed and I am trying to utilize the indirect function
=INDIRECT(G5 & "!A1")
CELLG5 = 'G:Folder1Folder2[WorkbookZ.xlsm]Sheet1'
I am trying to open a stored file on a network drive (with the file location stored in cell E4). When I try to run the macro, I get an error message on Line 3. (Sheets(E4.Value).Activate)
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this, or have a better method to open the closed files?
I've read that it's possible to reference information from a closed sheet, but I don't think that I'm experienced enough in VBA to take on that effort yet.
How can I pull data from a specific cell from a closed worksheet in VBA?
Not sure but I think that Workbook("wb1.xls").Worksheet("Sheet1").Range("A2") only works if the worksheet is open.
At the moment, I have a project where everyone is putting work data on seperate workbooks. Each months work is placed onto another worksheet within that workbook.
The supervisor has his own workbook, that grabs data from each of the workers books. Getting the data is easy enough, however because the supervisor has barely any knowledge of computers, I would like to make it as easy to set up for future months.
Right now, data is collected in each cell using the following formula:-
='[otherusersworkbook.xls]December 2009'!$C$620
Is there a way of getting that phrase to substitute the part that says "December 2009" with whatever is put into column A on the same row?
I am trying to use a routine that I copied from another thread on this forum, but I get an error message: Runtime error "1004" Copy method of worksheet failed.
I'm reading data, from specific cells off a closed workbook. When the sheet that needs said cell data is activated, it automatically opens the workbook and references the sheet nessecary. The issue I've come across, is I now need to access another workbook (Easy to open) with 12 sheets 1 for each month, and only read from the worksheet of the actual Month. Kind of lost on how to possibly make this work. I basically need something like: =location/[workbook.xls]worksheet!cell - where worksheet = B12 and B12 =month(today()) and is formatted to MMMM

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have code that links my existing workbook to a closed workbook. It works as planned but it goes to far. In my first workbook, the one containing the code, I may have up to 30 worksheets. If I am on Sheet5 I may need to run the vba code to update cells X:X only on Sheet5 but instead it updates cells X:X on all Sheets in the workbook. How can I keep this from happening?
I have asked this on another forum but it seems to be a difficult thing, perhaps impossible thing to keep from happening.
Return Worksheet Name to a Cell. how to do for worksheet name?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way to refererence the text of another cell, not the formula that it contains.
I have a workbok that has 5 worksheets. On the first worksheet, a certain cell (lets say A1 for simplicty) uses the function: UPPER(MID(CELL("filename"),( FIND("]",CELL("filename"))+1),50))
to retrieve the title of the worksheet. (ie, A1 now serves as a title cell, matching the name of the worksheet).
My problem is, on the following four worksheets, I also want A1 to reflect the contents of the first worksheet's A1. I've tried using =Worksheet!A1, and =CELL("contents", Worksheet1!A1), and so forth, but my problem is, it reflects the formula of A1, not the returned value of the formula (the title). Initially, it works, but if I recalculate the cells on the four worksheets, it changes them all to the title of the current worksheet, not the first worksheet.
Is there a formula that I can use to retrieve the TEXT and not the formula?
I need a formula that will search for the value of C1, Sheet1 in Sheet2 then if found, return a value from that row in column D? If not found then return a message "search emails".
I can upload a dummy if that's possible?
I want to return the data from a list in a cell on worksheet1 if I input a variable on worksheet2. I need to avoid VBA and pivot tables.
Example, if I put "Expense" in the input cell on worksheet2, I want to return a list of each row that has "Expense" in it on worksheet1:
Worksheet 1 (ColumnA/ColumnB):
Revenue/45,000
Expense/20,000
Asset/43,000
Liability/21,000
Revenue/6,000
Expense/9,000
Expense/11,000
Liability/13,000
Worksheet 2 required output (no row gaps or spaces):
Input cell "Expense" - in A1
List required (A3:B5):
Expense/20,000
Expense/9,000
Expense/11,000
Is there code that will take certain data from one Excel sheet to another named file in a different place on the network? Example Copy cell aa47 from "Recent Faxes.xls" that sits in "correspondence" folder. Then paste into cell B25 "Current Documentation.xls" in the "Sales Contacts" folder

View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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 am receiving a 'subscript out of range' error on the lines of code below.
I would note that all variables are declared and all seem meaningful as regards what you would expect at that point.
Below is a snippet from the immediate window which indicates what the values are:
completecashname C:CashDevelopmentMyFolderoutputCASH042706.xls
cashsheetname Formatted Sheet
cashcurrcolumn A
cashfirstrow 2
cashlastrow 876
Also the workbooks are both closed at this point (but it makes no difference)
Set CashCopy = Workbooks(CompleteCashName).Sheets(CashSheetName). _
Range(CashCurrColumn & Cashfirstrow & ":K" & Cashlastrow).Value
Set PelPaste = Workbooks(completepelname).Sheets(PELSheetName). _
Range((PELCurrColumn & PELlastrow)).Value
I have got a folder with 50 different workbooks, and I need to change cell B7 value in each one of them.

I need a script that changes a cell to say closed (uses a drop box) when a date is entered into the date column. I have attached a workbook with the basic options, obviously there will be a lot more columns and information in the original workbook and I will adding the code to at least 2 worksheets.
However to give a basic understanding if I have a drop box in column A with the options Active, Inactive and Closed. When I enter a date in Column B (headed Closed Date) I want Column A to change the option to Closed automatically.
I've recently discovered the usefulness of VB in excel and have managed to write some basic macros that enhance many of my workbooks. BUT, I've bumped into a problem I can't seem to solve. Please help!
I'm looking to import the values in a large range of cells ( 5 x 5000) in a closed workbook into a range that i specify in an open one, where both workbooks are housed in the same directory. I also want to include logic that allows me to move the 2 files to different directories (the names will never change, only the paths) and have the code still work--I believe i'd use relative path references?
I've found lots of snippets of code on the topic but can't seem to get any of them to work. For instance: http://spreadsheetpage.com/index.php...a_closed_file/
Problem is, I'm so new that I don't even know where to begin pasting the code (objects vs. modules, etc) in the VBA editor.
i'm trying to do a COUNTIF from an open workbook. The range I want for it is in another workbook, which I do not want to have open every time I run the macro.
This is my current
Sub cellLink()
Sheets("Calls In-Out Trend").Range("ag18").Formula = _
"=COUNTIF('C:***[*.xls]sheet name'I:I, QXO)"
End Sub
editthe range is just so I can see if it's giving the right values, the range won't be like that once I get it working. I'll probably be using logic statements to place them in the appropriate cells. The * is just me taking out the directory names, its on the desktop)
It can copy cell values from another unopened workbook, but when I try to put in COUNTIF it doesn't want to compile/run the script.
That's basically the question. Here's some background and my aim:
I'm scanning row I:I for certain keywords which I then count up and put into corresponding columns of a chart.
I have a little over 100 workbooks which I will receive back from customers and in column A of another workbook I have the names of those workbooks.
Not all workbooks will come in at the same time, but I would like, as we receive the workbooks, retrieve the value from cell H19 from the available workbooks according to the name in column A and place the value in column B.
I've looked into Indirect, but with this function the workbooks have to be open. If one of the workbooks has not been received, I would like for the macro to skip this file name. All files are .xlsm.
The file will be in the same folder as all the individual workbooks.
Column AColumn BFile NameH19 ValueDallas.xlsmSan Diego.xlsmArgentina.xlsmParis.xlsm
I have 400 workbooks to examine if cell P54 is 88% or lower. Is there an easy way, or is VBA with a loop the way.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a report that is collated from several other workbooks. The source workbooks follow the same naming convention throughout the year and so I have managed to concatenate the file path to bring through the text of the filepath and cell reference however cannot work out how to get the value of the cell. For example, I have the file path in A1, file name in B1 and sheet and cell referernce in C1.
I am using {=(A1&B1&C1)} which gives me R:CONFIDENTIALREPORT FOLDER[REPORT 24.09.07.xls]Sheet1!$D$1. To make matters slightly more difficult, the source reports would be closed. Is there an easy way or am I going to have to do this in VBA.
I want to pull data from closed workbook based on cell values of open workbook of column B and the source file name is on cell J1. Actually I save monthly files and opening balnce of current month should take vakues from previous month file.
Suppose current month is May 2008. Then Column Column D for May month shold take value from column G of April 2008. For simplicity the previous month’s name and thus source file name will be placed on cell J1.
The code should loop from column B of source file and current May 2008 file and should pull values for only those items which are in the current file in the Column B. Thus those products which are deleted or newly added item in the current item should not copied. Though for new item no name will be thre in the source file but for deleted items the item might be there in the source file but the code should ignore those value.
I have used a formula to achieve this before which seemed to work although now it seems to be replacing other data already in the worksheet so I am unsure of how to fix, thinking I should just start again.
The file in question is a tracker of activities, Column A (sheet1) is the Status and once the status is "Closed" I need to run a macro that copies all closed activities to Sheet5 at the bottom of previous closed activities. Once this is done I already have a macro to delete all "closed" activities from Sheet1 meaning that it is vital the new closed activities stack onto the bottom of previous closed activities.
The Column Headers start on Row 11 with activities running from Column 12.
Anyone know of a way to detect if a cell is blank in a closed workbook?
Here's what I'm trying to do:
=IF(ISBLANK(closed workbook cell reference),NA(),closed workbook cell reference)
also tried:
=IF(closed workbook cell reference="",NA(),closed workbook cell reference)
Neither one worked. I'm using Excel 2007.
