View 2 RepliesNeed running clock in Excel... in A1 I have put running clock which is taking current system time. However, I want to add running clocks for EST in B1 - CST in C1 and PST in D1.
VB code I used to display current system running clock

Sub runClock()
Range("A1").Value = Now()

I currently use a manual time clock for my employees to punch in and out. I then use Excel to tally their times. This is very tedious and error prone.
Is it possible to use Excel as the timeclock itself? I know that the employee can enter the time in a spreadsheet manually. But this also opens the door for error and potential dishonesty.
What I am looking for is, if the employee can punch in and out by doing a keystroke and Excel uses the computer's clock to timestamp.
I need to have a ticking clock by seconds in cell A1 on Sheet1.
This cannot have the current date associated with it. It needs to only show the time because I am using specific times in A4:A200 for employee report times, and in column B an IF statement
=IF(F4="x","Checked In",IF(A4>$A$1,"Early","Late"))
that show if an employee check in late. Column F will be used by our supervisor and they will simply mark an 'x' when the employee reports in for their shift.
I would like this macro to start automatically when a user opens the workbook, and stop when they close it.
I've a sheet that presents the profitability of sales locations in a geographic layout (similar to Tables in a restaurant), each sales location is a cell, with roughly 1,600 locations presented. Each location is colour coded based on performance / measure, in a basic thermographic way [e.g. dark blue for very poor, solid red for high performance] with users being able to change metrics and re-colour cells accordingly.
The sheet is already information rich, but I'm wanting to detect the cell address directly under the pointer and populate a text box or other cell based on the value in the cell directly below the mouse pointer.
My question is; Is there a simple way of detecting the mouse position on the XL Grid? nb. Want to avoid having to activate cell beneath pointer.
Is there any way to refer to a cell that is directly to the left of the current cell?
I need to create a Comma-Separated Value file with the Excel formula in the CSV file. Because of this, I do not know the current cell location, but want to do something like =(Cell directly to the left of me) + (Cell two cells to the left of me)
Lets say we have prices in column (B) and in column (F) I want to insert a formula that says:
In the same row, look at cell in column (B). If price is between 1000 and 8000 then put 2.00 if price is between 500-999 then put 0.50 if price is between 1-499 then put 0.00
I need to achieve this using something like =OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN())),0,-1) but I am not sure how its done.
I will be using this formula in a find and replace macro. So I can NOT make the typical drag and fill formula.
I have disabled edit directly in cell in the option menu so that when i double click it goes to source file.

My need is to also move the 2 cells directly below the cell containing "ATS", then clear the contents of the "Original" 3 cells before going to find the next instance of "ATS".
Sub Move_Values()
Dim myrange, cell As Range
Set myrange = ActiveSheet.Range("L4", Range("L5000").End(xlUp))
For Each cell In myrange
If InStr(cell.Value, "ATS") > 0 Then
cell.Offset(0, 1).Value = cell.Value
cell.ClearContents
End If
Next cell

I've populated a temporary worksheet with several columns of data. In this example my Amount Column has several null cells. What I need to do is write a macro to find any nulls and populate the nulls with the data in the last populated cell above it.
Example: the four empty cells below Account (524150) also need to be populated with 524150. The cell immediately below 524200 also needs to be populated with 524200 and the 3 empty cells below 512800 also need to be populated with 512800. Week to week the number of rows will change and the nulls will also change.
I have a date base that is used as a job status board developed in excel that has locations, times, clock and other areas. What I am looking for is a way of playing a sound when the time approaches 5 min before the time in the excel cell that has been entered into the job status board...

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel document with about 40+ tabs that represent different categories of data that I input on different days. I was just wondering if it was possible to have another tab (in the same document) that could accumulate all the data from the other tabs into one sheet so I can see all the data for each day regardless of which sheet it is on?
For example, what I input into Sheet 1 also gets written in the "accumulated" tab and the same for other sheets? And if I delete something from one of my sheets, it also gets deleted on the "accumulated" tab.
I currently use an Excel program (with macros) that run weather forecast data. It is compatible with versions XP, 2003, 2007 and 2010. However, I am trying to figure out if I can run it on a Mac. My plan is to run windows on my Mac through Parellels or VMWare Fusion.

I have discovered a strange problem with my VBA code. After testing it on several machines, I've found no problems with my workbook until now. After being run on a rather slow Windows Vista laptop, I've found that VBA appears to be running faster than Excel, and consequently it is creating errors as VBA asks Excel to do things before it has finished a previous action. This is causing macros to fail several times in each run, though can be solved simply by pressing 'debug' and then F5 to continue the code. Is there a way to get VBA to run slower to solve this? As I can't think of any other way of doing it? I've certainly not seen it happen on any XP or Win 7 computer!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel file with a table of data on Sheet1. The table of data has 3 fields which are Code (a Text field) , Date (a Date field) and Amt (a Number field). I'm using vba with sql code to query that table and return the results of the query to a different sheet in the same file. So just to reiterate, Excel is my data source. I've done my research and largely worked this code out.
I'm also plugging a date parameter into the WHERE CLAUSE of the vba/sql code and this date is drawn from cell D4. This way, the user can change the date in cell D4 and this will change the criteria in the WHERE clause of the sql query to give them the results they want.
However I am getting an error that reads 'Data type mismatch in criteria expression' when I run the below code, so there must be something wrong with the specific syntax I'm using to plug in the date from cell D4.
Note that I can get the code and parameter to work if I make the CODE field the parameter with the query definition line of :
query = "SELECT [Code], sum([Amt]) as Ttl FROM [Main$] WHERE [Code] = '" & Range("D4").Value & "' group by [Code]"

I have built an Application in Excel that is used by a userbase of 50+ people. Now, as standard, they are only able to access the document read only. The application writes data to an ".mdb" but the user cannot change the application directly istself.
Now, we've had the problem over the last few days that the program is running slowly when it is trying to write data back to the ".mdb" file.
I believe that it could be because connection to the sever that our application is running slowly (or the server is too highly trafficed) but our server team are telling me there is nothing wrong with the server and it's running slowly because there are too many people in one Excel application/
I have developed a model for a client which keeps crashing after being used a few times. The crash is major! Excel shuts down and asks to send an error report.
This can happen after being run anywhere from 3 to 20 times. (Clicking a POST button which transfers items to a "database" type sheet).
I developed the model on a PC using Excel 2010. When this was loaded on a Mac, the user tells me that it happened periodically, and I have seen is occasionally on my PC as well.
However, the workbook has now been loaded on a server, with users across the state of Victoria accessing via Sharepoint - most using Excel 2007. Now it is happening very frequently.
I don't think the macro is at fault, it doesn't go into debug. Excel just seems to GIVE UP.
Have you seen this kind of thing before? Is there a way of "flushing buffers" or something so that Excel can keep working?
I am reluctant to post the model because it is full of personnel details, and is 2.5mb.
I would like to keep an average for 12 months.Each number entered for a month would be averaged with the total months with an entry until all 12 months had entries. I am using excel 2007
View 9 Replies View RelatedI Need to Understand Running Total Sum Formulas. I'm using Excel 2010. and I'm typing in the basic correct formula to arrive at a running total for each ajacent cell to the left of it.
I put in the correct formula in Cell (B1) of Sum=(A1)
I then put in the correct formula in Cell (B2) Sum=(A1:A2) I then highlight the A1 part of the formula with an F4 Key to lock it in.
I then drag the B2 Cell all the way down the excel page to capture all of my running total coming from the (A) Column just to the left of my formula.
Why even though I'm getting the answers I want in the running total does it put an error message in each of the correct answers in each of the cells in the (B) column where I put my formulas.
I tryed to delete the error message spot but I don't know how to delete all of the error spots without going into each cell one by one.
How can I get rid of all the error message out of each cell without having to click on each cell one by one to do it when I might have over 500 or more cells to click on.
I am attempting to run a MS Ecel macro that is stored on a MS Excel shared file in a MS Ecel target file (locally stored on my C drive) from a VBA module in Ms Access. That is, from a code i want to open the .xls file that houses the macro, and then open the .xls file that i want to run the file in, and then run the macro.
Here is my situation: the file that houses the macro has the workbook hidden and causes in error.
if i unhide the workbook i get a Run-Time Error 91...object variable or With block variable not set.
if i hide the workbook the vba coding can't find the macro...run time error 1004
once again, i currently have an excel file that houses macro whose workbook is hidden.
does anyone know how this can be accomplished?

I have several similar documents open. They each have a macro with the shortcut CTRL + SHFT + T. The problem is each macro is different for each book. When I am working on book X, I don't want macro from book Z to run, but it does.
I need all of them to be open.
I am not sure how to setup the initial connection to the datbase from excel and was wondering what would be the best way to go about things. Is it possible to run the query stored in the database and pass it a value or would I be better off just coding it into a sqlstring within the macro.
Here is the query that is in the database...when run it asks for the "Status?" variable.
SELECT ordernumber, mobilenumber
FROM bookings
WHERE status = [status?];
So yes, really simple query but yeah just want to know how to pass it that variable from excel or can I just set it up in the actual macro to maybe read the status from a cell?
How to add a countdown timer with start, stop, reset functions to an existing Excel spreadsheet?

Each of the timdown procedures adds another segment to the countdown clock (if you don't click "Exit" before the five seconds are up, the file closes without saving. All well and good.
Now, if you DO click the "Exit" button, you get a message that the close has been aborted and, upon clearing that messagebox, the file closes anyway!
I think it's something to do with killing all remaining OnTime instructions but I don't know how to go about stopping the clock.
a way to turn excel into a world clock?
I am working for a company that has offices around the world, and I would like to see the time in all offices, when I am working in excel without using the internet (or spending monay on loads of wall clocks!)
A coworker just ran something by me that i'm quite frankly baffled by. After running a macro, the undo function becomes disabled up to the point of when the macro was ran. I've done a quick search through the forums and can't seem to find this question so i thought i'd ask.
Is there an option to toggle somewhere or 3rd party addon that keeps Undo enabled after running a macro? On a similar topic for my own curiosity, what's the reason that it disables?
I have a macro with "ActiveWorkbook.Protect Password:="password"" . It was working fine in excel 2003. In excel 2007, because of this I am not able to run any macro's in the workbook. I am getting a message "The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled. I can see a security warning in message bar saying macros have been disabled, but I dont have have a option to enable the macros.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have inherited support for a suite of Excel 2003 spreadsheets with complicated macros which run fine on XP. Having been tasked to test them on Windows 7 with Office 2010, I have not converted them as they are run by several sites globally who may not upgrade to Office 2010 at the same time. Hence they run in compatibility mode which in general is fine.
However, certain macros are veeeery slow and to the user would look like the app has hung. In debug I have found that the macro takes 10 minutes plus whenever it hits any of the following code:
Code:
With Application
.Calculation = xlAutomatic
.MaxChange = 0.001
End With
ActiveWorkBook.PrecisionAsDisplayed = False
It goes slow on each of the three 'lines' so it seems that it is actually doing an auto calc each time!
Is there some configuration I can do to prevent this? Setting auto calc to Manual didn't work and anyway I loose things, like data validation, when I save it in Excel 2010.

I have a macro which performs some conditional formatting on a worksheet. Based on the value in cells in one column, if the value meets the criteria some simple formatting is performed (row is colored, font changes for that row etc).
The macro then calls a second macro which performs the same evaluation on the same cells from the same column. If the value meets the criteria (same as previously) it is supposed to change the value of the cell by 1/2.
Both macros work, however the 2nd macro also seems to remove all of the formatting, font changes, coloring etc that occurred from the first macro. I have had the first macro save the active workbook and close and have the 2nd macro re-open the file but it sill overwrites the formatting. If I do not have the 2nd macro run the format changes are saved. I have tried saving the file after the first macro runs with .xls and .xlsx extension and no luck.
