Return To Last Location


How do I write a VB Script to take the user back to where they came from.

Example:

User is on Sheet 1 and clicks a macro that takes him to Sheet 10.
I need a macro that is on Sheet 10 that takes the user back to Sheet 1.
BUT if the User is on Sheet 5 and clicks on a macro that take him to Sheet 10
I need that same macro on Sheet 10 to take him back to Sheet 5.

Return Cursor To Last (previous) Location
I am familiar with the codes suggested here: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/...-previous.aspx

I move the cursor with Hyper-Links or just by clicking another cell.

I wonder - is there something I can add/do in order to enable returning from ANOTHER sheet !?

Save & Return To Last Location
User selects 'go to page B' on page A. They look at an object then click the object to go back to page A. Once back on page A they need to check data on page B, but in the same general location as where they just looked. This is over simplified, but pretty much sums up what I need to do. The code I have now is below, but keeps sending me to the last selection on my current page.

Public Sub SaveLocation(ReturnToLoc As Boolean)
Static WB As Workbook
Static WS As Worksheet
Static R As Range
If ReturnToLoc = False Then
Set WB = ActiveWorkbook
Set WS = ActiveSheet
Set R = Selection
Else
WB.Activate
WS.Activate
R.Select
End If
End Sub

Public Sub SetSaveLoc()
SaveLocation (False)
End Sub

Public Sub GetSaveLoc()
SaveLocation (True)
End Sub

Return Active Cell's Location/row
I'm having trouble identifing a way to return a location for the position of the active cell. I've searched Excel help with "Position, location, return, activecell, etc." and I can't seem to figure this out. I know that it's possible, so that's why I'm on here!

...

Ok, say the active cell is currently "F1", and I need the location "F1" to identify the ROW to be used in a formula later, how would I go about that?

The current contents of cell "F1"' will be "REPLACE", but I need to change the words "REPLACE" in "F1" and other cells labeled "REPLACE" in column F to the following formula (where the "1" in "A1" is is the current row):

Interpolation Given A Variable Table Location & Location Of Data Within
I am trying to develop a spreadsheet that will calculate a cost based on a matrix. I am attaching a sample of the calculation created so far. The end result is in cell M13 and is highlighted in yellow. I kind of layed the formula out in a few different cells, so hopefully it would be easy to follow.

simplify this process with maybe another formula that I might not be aware of, or maybe show me how to get this done in VB code. I think VB code would be the correct way to go just not sure.

Defined The Location
If Worksheets(FirstSheet).Cells(Counter, ColtoMove) = MoveIf Then
'i didn't add the THEN PORTION becasue it errors at the above statement.

the problem is that when i go to the defined location (Worksheets(FirstSheet).Cells(Counter, ColtoMove)) it shows the correct/or same PO number as when i put the cursor over the "MoveIF"....this leads me to think that it should not error.

Could it be a correct statement to say how the MoveIf is defined?

I have added a list of all of the potential values that can cycle through this statement.

how these entries could cause a problem in the above code? I am trying to keep it simple (outside of the long list below that is)

Copy A Picture From On Location To Another On The Same HD
First of all, I would like to thank all Excel Forum Moderators and Members especially Andy Pope for the great effort they exert to help all members.

Lately, I viewed the thread available on the following link and I admired the great perfect work and codes provided by Andy Pope so much,

http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...-userform.html

My request is similar to the points discussed in the above mentioned thread, but, it is a little bit different ..

Instead of inserting the picture to the worksheet, I want the picture to be copied from one folder on the HD to another folder called (Employees photos), which is located in workbook's path.

In other words, I need a code to copy one jpg picture from one location to another.

Moving Rows To A Specified Location
I am trying to do work on a sheet and am getting very frustrated. I have a list of several different data entries that contain a row of information. I need to have the excel sheet move these rows to a different sheet in a specified location. For example, in the first column of the data I have the list of commodities, (sugar, cotton, yen, euro, and copper). Then in the second column I have the price and then the quantity. I want to move them automatically from sheet 1 (where they are entered) to a specific location on Sheet 2. I want Cotton to be in A2, Sugar to be in A20, Yen to be in A30, Euro to be in A40 and copper to be in A50. I would like the data to be cut from sheet one and inserted into sheet 2 so that the sheet can move them every day.

Reference A File Location In A Formula
if this is possible, but is there anyway to reference a file location in a formula using another cell?

EG:

Cell A2 (Text) = C:Folder1Folder2Folder3Sheet v1.2.xls
Cell B2 = =A2'tab1'!$A$1

So, in cell B2 it will use the file location in cell A2.

I need this because the values will be updated in Sheet v1.2 and version controlled (so if it changes to 1.3 all you have to do is change cell A2).

Advanced Filter Copy To Another Location
I seem to be having an odd problem with Advanced Filter. When I use the Copy to Another Location option I get an error that:

"The extract range has an illegal or missing field name".

As far as I can tell, there are no blank or missing fields. I did originally have a DATE field but I have renamed this in case it was a "reserved" name but still have the problem.

When I used the filter in place it works correctly.

I am trying to use Advance Filter as opposed to lots of looping, copying and pasting and this is the only snag. I suppose that I could filter in place then copy/paste the results to the other sheet but I'd like to see where I may be going wrong.

Trusted Location - How To Save To And Access
managed to get a piece of code working to create unique sequential numbers for purchase orders, but only by "enabling all macros" which is apparently not recommended and could conceivably, as I understand it, leave a PC vunerable to viriuses contained in other imported files.

Please bear with me as I'm very new to anything other than basic Excel functions; macros were, until last week, something I didn't even know existed, let alone how to use them. Anyway, having got my macro working, I understand that the best thing to do is put it in a "trusted location" from where it will work automatically without requiring operator input (whilst still maintaining high overall security), rather than "enabling all macros", but I have a couple of issues with this.

Firstly, having created a folder in "my documents" as per the instructions, how do I save the macro there? What format should it be in? Surely not a word document? (as you can gather I am still really in the dark about all this). If not, what?

Secondly, how do I direct Excel to access and run the macro from this "trusted location" folder, rather than the already existing "module1"?

I know that this isn't hard--but I sure can't figure out how to do it!
