how I can go back to the worksheet I was in before I branched off to work in another worksheet via a macro?
I know you can tell the macro which worksheet to go to, but not sure how to get vb to remember where I was and return to the same sheet (or even cell).
I had create a few macro with the macro name the same as the worksheet name.
How can i create another macro to loop through all the worksheet and if there is any data in Cell A1, it will call the corresponding macro. If there is no data, it will go onto another worksheet.
The below example creates a new worksheet and tries to get the new worksheets codename. The problem is when I run the code, I can't seem to be able to pull the codename from the newly created sheet (ie Cell A1 = "" instead of "sheetx").
Sub test()Set mysht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Add x = mysht.CodeName mysht.Range("A1") = xEnd Sub
I have a User Defined Function (for finding the next minimum value in a range) that is not working for nonconcurrent ranges when called from within a worksheet. It returns #VALUE!
This works: =nextmin(A11:A17)
This does not work: =nextmin(D13,E13,F13,F16)
However calling the function from within vba works:
Is it possible to use the Worksheet_Change command to monitor 2 different cells in the same worksheet and call a different procedure depending on which cell is changed. i.e. if cell A1 is changed do this, if cell a2 is changed do that
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with multiple worksheets. Several have hyperlinks to one sheet called Calculator where users can perform certain calculations using a calculator I have made. I want to use a macro to take the user back to the sheet they were previously viewing before they came to Calculator. In other words if they got there from Sheet2 they go back to Sheet2, from Sheet3 to Sheet3 etc. Is there a way to do this?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have created an XLA using a blank workbook which has a macro (called CompareMan) I have written within it.
I have written a utility (called INSTALLMAN) to install this add in.
When I run the install it creates and activates the add in OK.
The install also creates a toolbar with a button to trigger the macro.
Problem is, when I click the newly created button, no matter which workbook I am currently in I get a message ...
"The macro INSTALLMAN.xls!CompareMan cannot be found".
So my question is, how do I get my button to trigger the macro in my add in?
I am trying to call another macro, but instead of using the name of the macro, I have it in a variable. I am getting an error that says "Compile Error: Expected sub, Function, or Property." Can you call a macro that is in a variable? I basically have a bunch of macros created. I also have a list of the name of those macros on a worksheet in Excel. I want excel to start at the top of the list in excel and run the macro, then move down and run the next macro, and so on. Below is my code.
Sub Commercial_2005()
Dim Macroname As String
Workbooks("bleeg.xls").Activate
Worksheets("CommercialList").Select
Cells.Range("a1").Select
While ActiveCell.Value <> ""
Macroname = ActiveCell.Value
Workbooks("copy of recast_Report_v2.xls").Activate
Call Macroname
Workbooks("bleeg.xls").Activate
Worksheets("CommercialList").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Wend
End Sub
I have a worksheet (named "A") contains all data, and would like to have a macro to searching in A under condition of date,and return those data to in a cell of different worksheets (saying worksheet B, C, D). and everytime i run the macro previous data wouldn't be replaced by new one. Example: worksheet A has data
worksheetname date number
B 01/01 10
B 02/01 11
B 03/01 12
C 01/01 13
C 02/01 14
C 03/01 15
I have a set of eight files, each of which is refreshed daily through a macro. I wanted to set up a master macro in a separate file that would open up each of the eight in turn, calls its refresh macro (which saves and closes the workbook), and then open up the next one, etc. I've searched the board and Help on this subject, but I keep getting an error:
Sub UpdateCSHoldReports()
' A sub to update all the US CS Hold Reports
' First, change the directory to the one that holds the files
ChDir "s:Marketing_ReportsCustomer Service2006CS Hold ReportsUSA"
' Next, open each file in turn, and run its refresh macro
' The refresh macro saves and closes the file automatically
Workbooks.Open ("VERIFICATION HOLDS 1000 PLUS.xls")
Workbooks("VERIFICATION HOLDS 1000 PLUS.xls").Activate
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1).Activate
Application.Run ("VERIFICATION HOLDS 1000 PLUS.xls!V1000Refresh")
End Sub
I'm only working on one file right now; I'll add the others when I get this one going. The error message I get is "1004" "The macro VERIFICATION HOLDS 1000 PLUS.xls!V1000Refresh cannot be found." It occurs when the Application.Run statement attempts to execute.
What obvious thing am I missing here? I have checked all the spellings, etc., so it's not something like that.
I'm writing some code in a "control" Excel file that will open a series of other files and successively run some processes. Each of these files has its own unique "refresh" macros, with parameters that vary from file to file.
How do I put code in my "control" file that will, when it opens each of these other files, run the "refresh" macro that is contained within them, and not the "control" file itself?
I have been combining multiple macro's into one large Macro and after research, it seems that only the call function works without any hitches.
Is there a way to use the call feature in one workbook while the macro's themselves, 5 or 6 of them, are in another workbook that is closed?
All users would have access to both workbooks.
The reason I am trying this is because I do not want all the other users to have to choose between multiple macro's and some of my colleagues like to use a radio button to link to the workbook. so it needs to have one file in it...
I have a workbook with two macros that the user can run individually. They unfortunately take a fair amount of time to complete (approx 1 hour each) so I implemented some timing related code that at the end of the macro completion, it notifies them with a msgBox indicating how long it took to run. With that said, I would like to allow the user to run a macro that simply calls the other two so that they can kick it off at the end of the day and they both will be finished by morning. I created a new macro that simply makes a call to each of the other macros individually. The problem is, my msgBox that displays after the first macro completes, waits for "OK" acknowledgement which defeats the whole purpose of being able to run them both via one macro. I have tried to include Application.DisplayAlerts = False prior to calling the first macro but it is not working. Here is an example of what I am trying to do.
Sub runAllMacros()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Call compileBookData
Call compileLaborData
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
MsgBox "All Rollup Macros have completed execution."
I have a workbook with a 2 macros "PopulateSheetlist" and "SaveEditedversion"
Normally they are each button operated, and prompt the user with vbYesNo style options. I wanted to write a Macro, say "Macroautomatewkbk that would automatically answer the prompts.
Sub Macroautomatewkbk ()
Call PopulateSheetlist
' Always answer YES or OK to any prompts this macro may offer
Call SaveEditedversion
' Answer No for the 1st prompt and YES for the 2nd prompt
End Sub
MsgBox "Both macros "PopulateSheetlist" and "SaveEditedversion"
' Some error handler here, don't know how this should work exactly.
Could any one please explain how to fill in code in the commented sections in the above sample code?
Edit: I tried recording a macro to do the above, but it only showed the zooming and scrolling that occurred, none of the button prompts being answered.

What I now want to do is make a cell called "Total Number of Sites" and allow user to input data into "D3" manualy. eg if 3 sites, user input 3 in D3 so D3 = 3.
Since total number of sites = 3, Instead of clicking that button I made 3 times, I want to call the macro 3 times using a nother button.
However it doesn't work. This is what I used:

I'm hoping there is some way to call whatever text is stored in the "alt text" field of images placed in an excel sheet for use as a variable / string reference in a macro.
The "alt text" will not be changed in any way by the macro.
I've assigned a single macro to numerous Form Checkboxes (not ActiveX). I'd like the macro to be able to identify the Checkbox calling it, so that if for example, if it were fired by clicking "Check Box 41", the macro should know that.
Is this possible, or must I use an ActiveX control?
Using a different script application, I would like to run my VBA macros while working in Excel. I was wondering if I could achieve that using PostMessage or SendMessage calls. Part of the problem is that Excel only seems to allow either Ctrl + letter or Ctrl + Shift + letter as an assignable macro shortcut. My script gives me flexibility in that I can assign any key or combination of keys to trigger any kind of routine, like a PostMessage call, for instance. So while working on my workbook, I might want to press, say, ScrollLock followed by a letter of my choice, followed by another letter of my choice (a sort of super shortcut), resulting in the running of a Macro of my choice in Excel.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a macro running in a workbook that gathers some data (a date, a string and a few arrays). Towards the end of this macro, I need it to open another workbook and run a macro that sits in this other workbook, using the data from the first workbook. I then need it to return some results (several integers) back to the first macro to be pasted into the first workbook.
I gather that I can't use 'Call' as the second macro is in another workbook.
I've found that I can use Application.Run but I'm unsure how to carry variables back and forth using this.
How to move the variables between macros / workbooks using the Application.Run option, or maybe another way of doing things?
the macro works fine until it executes the paste values. At that point, the macro jumps to the "CountThem" function which is located in another workbook. The data that I am copy/pasting is in no way connected to any cells that are using that function. Although, other values in the workbook are passed down from data that uses that function.
I am still in the dark ages using Excel 2000.
This is the code for my macro.
Code:
Sub Current_to_Raw()

' Current_to_Raw Macro
' Macro recorded 2/12/2014 by

I created two macros. One for refreshing the data I pull from a database, and another one adding some formulas I need. On the formulas macro, I don't know how to have it automatically fill until the last row of data to the left of the column with the formula. (Just like if I double clicked it and it filled down automatically). I also tried to combine these two macros, but I get errors and they don't execute.

I am trying to create a formula to return values based on the Total of a Table in each worksheet.
Example:
Column A has a list of worksheet names
Column B I want to return the value of the Total from a table on the worksheet named in Column A.
Each Table might be different widths (i.e., not the same number of columns).
Problem, I want the formula to use the worksheet name to goto the correct worksheet, and retrieve the data.
Each worksheet will only have one table on it.

View 8 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?
