I used the "Call" command instead of "Run." Everything finally worked perfect!!
Being new to VBA I do not know the reason behind the "Run" command being different and causing my problems. BUT "call" sure is the answer to my recent irritations.
After I got the darn things to finally work, I decided to do the responsible thing and use Option Explicit, which helped me clean up my code tremendously!!
I am using this code to make a new folder however if the folder already exists it gives me an Error 75.
Code:
Private Sub CreateFullFolder_Click()
'FIlE address needs to be changed
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Details").Activate
MkDir ("C:UsersDennisDesktopPartnering Contractors LTD" & Range("B12").Value)
End Sub
I've created an Add-in (.xlam file) in Excel 2007 and installed and activated it (it shows up under "Active Application Add-ins" on the Add-in menu for new workbooks).
I can see the macros and code when I go to the VBA editor, but the macros don't show up in the regular macro list.
I know that I can write code for the new workbook that will reference the Add-in code, but I want other users to be able to install the add-in and run the macros in it right away without any knowledge of VBA. Is there a way to make this possible?
I have created a spreadsheet containing about 30+ macros and then copied it with a new title eg, sheet2013.xlsm (original) and sheet2014.xlsm. My problem is that every time I open the 2014 sheet it re-connects to the macros in the 2013 sheet (if this makes any sense). Is there a way to lock macros to a spreadsheet, ie open both sheets and use the macros within those sheets?

I've got a macro embedded in a sheet (not in a module)..."Private Sub worksheet_activate()".
I have a macro that copies this specific sheet to a new workbook in order for other users to play with.
Problem is, when they select the new copied sheet in the new workbook, it tries to execute the "worksheet_activate" macro.
I've done searches on trying to delete macros but to no avail....
I've forgotten how to prevent the macros from showing in the macro dialogue box.
I'm sure it's got to be something with the VBA editor, but I can't figure it out.
I've got some files where the macro list is hidden and I'd like to do the same again, but for the life of me....I'm stumped. I'm sure it's something very simple.
I've protected the Worksheet & Workbook.
I've done some searching...."macro hide", "hide dialogue" etc. but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
It's been a while since I had to amend code, as everythings been running very smoothly.
I am using a macro that automatically updates data obtained through a DDE link at 5 second intervals. My code is based off of the article "Automatically Run Macros at a Set Time or Date" found on the Ozgrid FAQs found here: http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/run-macro-on-time.htm
However, I have this macro execute when I activate a Form Button, not when the workbook opens. So far, this macro works perfectly, and I have no problems. Although, I'd also like to include a Form button to STOP the macro from automatically running if the user chose to do so. How exactly would I go about making this STOP button?
my excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation. During the first tries I had a lot of break point in my debugger. But now I want to have a button to hit or better just some keys to hit to stop it without using the ctrl+alt+del which closes everything.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel 2003 program that contains macros. One of the macros hides certain command bars and disables the worksheet menu bar. On close the opposite is true. The problem is, if a user uses the disable macros when opening then the worksheet menu bar and other command bars are still available. I would like to hide all of the data sheets and display another sheet that would normally be hidden displaying a message that the macros have to be enabled for the program to work correctly if disable macros is chosen. When the enable macros are used I would like the Error page to be hidden.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a user that keeps a maintenance log in an Excel worksheet and sends an updated copy once a week to a board member. Two weeks ago, the board member started complaining that he was prompted to enable/disable macros on opening and became worried when my user stated that no macros were used in the book. He is now concerned that we have sent him a virus.
I know the file is clean because I've scanned it, and when I look at the file in VB, there are no modules or classes present just the Sheets 1-3 and the ThisWorkbook file. None of these objects have any code in them. My user does have some macros in PERSONAL.XLS but they are not used in the workbook in question.
No one else gets the prompt for enabling/disabling macros. Even if I set my security to prompt for any macros, I get no message. I'm convinced that there must be some setting in his Excel that is causing this individual to get this message. Is there anything else other than a macro that would cause this?
What is the commands or script for deleting a macro automatically using
another workbook macro.
Is there a way to hide a macro from the list where you choose which to run, but not in the VBA editor? The userbox I just created calls upon 2 different macros, and has a macro to bring up the userbox. I need a way to hide the macros in Module3 from selection, but keep the macros in Module4 available to choose to run.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two macros. Macros 1 opens another excel file, counts the number of rows it has, inserts that number of rows into the master file and then copies the data over. Key code as follows (x3 for 3 worksheets)...
For k = 1 To numrows
Selection.EntireRow.Insert
Next k
Macros 2 'cleans' the appended data by systematically going through each row, checking if certain cells have data, and if not deletes the rows. Key code as follows (x3 for 3 worksheets)...
For l = lastrow To 12 Step -1
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("B" & l & ":C" & l)) = 0 Then
Rows(l & ":" & l).Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
edelrows = edelrows + 1
End If
Next l
Here's the weirdness. macros 1 runs fairly quick the first time out (few seconds). Macros 2 takes about 2 minutes to run (which I'm fine with). However, when I run macros 1 AFTER running Macros 2, Macros 1 goes from taking a few seconds to a few minutes.
how to use excel 4 macros. I do not even know where to put them. I have inherited some spreadsheets that have both Xcel 4 Macros and vba macros in them. (Well, I get a warning that I cannot switch them off when I disable macros on opening a workbook). I cannot even find the offending version 4 macros so that I can re-code them in VBA.
I am making a simple map in excel. I have my floor plan on sheet 1 and the location of product on the floor on sheet 2.
Currently I have some formulas on sheet 1 that link to some sales data on sheet 2, but what I would really like to be able to do is use the search function on page 1 and it give me the location of the products in a given area.
The data is broken up into group location on the second sheet.
I have four columns containing about 200 addresses.
A Names
B Streets
C Cities
D Phone no.
If I write a name in D1 I want to get the corresponding street, city and phone no. in E1, F1 and G1.
I also want to copy the formula downwards let's say ten times so I can make a list.
If I for example just want to make a list of three names (D1-D3) I want the rest of the fields to stay blank.
i made a claculator in vb.net, and now i have to make one in vba, what i did was as follows, first ill post the code from last year, then my vba attempt;
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a spread sheet that tracks progress reports that are due every 90 days. I have a due date colum that will automatically get high lighted if the 90 days have passed to inform me or my staff that the report is late. I would like to have a colum with a button in each row that allows the reader of the spreadsheet to press "YES" for that accont's progress report having been turn in. When the "YES" button is pressed the date due date column advances to the next 90 day due date and the highlight would turn off.
I used the conditional format to change the due date column to Yellow if =TODAY() is less then or equal to the due date. But I can figure out a way to select something and turn the highlight off and advance the due date to the next 90 day due date.
I have been asked to make a formula that sums up the hours in a week and then tells me whether I am below or over the budgeted hours for that week!
I cant get it to work since I cant figure out how to have the same formula in all the cell that sums up early, mid and late shifts, ie 06-14, 14-22, 22-06.
The graveyard shift is a problem there since I get negative hours.
Further more, I need to have the formula ignore cells to be added up if it has letters in it, we write an R for Rostered day off.
............Beer........ Total
Stefan:....1........... 0,70€
Now i need a button that when i click on the name the amount 1 gets 2,3,4,5,6, ect and that it calculates the price up as a total
1- I 'm working with a table wit many Sheets.
I want to make a Report Sheet with selective ranges(cells)
the selective cells should paste as link ( in order to be updated cells)
2- then how to Zip this worksheet to zip file ( to save it)
3- If I have a Macro and i want to perform this macro to all sheet except one sheet how to that ?
I would like to:
1-Make Rows & columns 1/4" X 1/4"
2-Be able to enter dimensions into an input box that would then draw a square(or rectagle) with the inputed dimensions in INCHES.
In Column B of my spreadsheet i have a drop down that only allows users to enter "Yes" or "No"
Is it possible to make Column C a required field if "No" is selected in column B.
So basically if cell b4 is "No" then i want to make it manditory that cell C4 is filled out with a reason why.
Same thing for cell b5 then i would like cell c5 filled out before they continue using the sheet. etc.
I am a Coach who will be using this data table to call pitches via a catcher's wristband. The band is obviously completed below; however, I need to create a separate sheet where the numbers correlate to the pitches that are being called. How it works: everything in the table(s) with a dash is a pitch i.e. 2-1, 1-3, 1-U, etc. The numbers on the columns and row are what is relayed to the catcher to call the corresponding pitch. For example, I would signal is 113 (first number = row second number = column). 113 is 4-1. I need a way/ formula to where I can see which numbers are to be relayed in for each pitch. It would possible look like 2-1: 101, 411, 422, 501, etc.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI built what I can only describe as a fantastic spreadsheet. It wasn't until after that I realized it is 123 MB in size, but even for the complexities within it, it still feels like that is quite large.
I can't share the file due to proprietary reasons, but any general tips as to things I can do to make it smaller (and therefore faster to run).
I tried saving it as a binary spreadsheet and that dropped it to about 80 MB, but I don't really know what that does and if it will impact the sheet performance in any way.
I'v got a school task about making a excel worksheet.
But we have just started and i havent gotten all the functions to work yet.
The task itself is :
Make function that tests if D9 is larger then 100 and I9 is less then 50. If true "Kontroll" if not "OK" should be written.
Also, if "Kontroll" shows up it should have a dark green "OK " should just be black
Its roughly translated from norwegian. If you need some more information I will try to provide it
i have a cell "h23" that must always start with a "j" or a "J"
the trouble is some of my users are only putting in the number
ie 2345 when it should be j2345 or J2345
I know I posted this same topic about a week ago but I went through the first 20 pages on the forum and couldt find it, i tried the search option and nothing came up. I have several worksheets in the same workbook. When I enter a number in one cell in work sheet A, I want the same number to show up in a given cell on work sheet B. How do I do this? I can make words move from one shet to the next but numbers dont seem to be the same.
