I need my macro to run when the spreadsheet is Saved. Is that process written in the macro code or is there an existing event control in Excel to accomplish this?
Running Excel 2007. I tried searching the forum & found one post that ran the macro on open, but couldn't set that up to work on save.
how to make a code so that it captures the event of pressing any key of the keyboard and triggers a macro.
I tried using OnKey method but the problem with this is I am getting stick to any particular button whichever i specify in the onkey method wheareas I want to keep it general for any button in the keyboard.
Also if anyone can suggest how can I use OnKey method to use the "S" key to launch a macro.
I need a before save event macro in excel that will check if sheet1 cell ref A25 = zero. If it isnt zero I want a msgbox to say "Does Not Equal Zero" to pop up, if it is zero then I do not want a msgbox displayed. In both instances I still want the file to be saved.

[Code] .......
This code is supposed to apply the TRIM function to every worksheet in the workbook when the user presses save, and the saves the results. I understand the Private Sub bit is the code to have the macro run during the save, but for some reason the macro itself isn't actually running. I'm not getting any error message, its just that the cells which should have the TRIM function applied to them aren't being corrected.

I have three macros:
Sub Concat()
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC[-1] > 1,CONCATENATE(""*"",RC[-1],""*""),"""")"
End Sub
Sub InsertLocation()
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC[-2] > 1, R[2]C[2],"""")"
I need To have them excecute automatically once data Is enter into a cell In column A:
I 've attempted onEvent configurations starting with -
Sub FillScanSheet()
ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Select
If ActiveCell > 1 Then
Application.Run Concat
Application.Run InsertLocation
Application.Run Dupes
End If
However I keep getting a circular reference error --
I am using a Textbox1_Exit event that (if certain values are true) sets the focus to different Textbox. However, when I invoke the Textbox3.SetFocus, it redoes all the code in the Textbox1_Exit event since it's technically leaving now.
How do I stop this from happening and ensure that the Exit event happens once? OR How do I properly SetFocus inside an Exit event?
I know how to enable/disable events using VBA code, however is there an option within excel to turn it on/off? My problem is this...
At the beginning of my code I disable events and at the end I enable it again (I need to do this to avoid being caught in a loop). However something is going wrong somewhere in my code and the code stops halfway through. I'm trying to test sections of the code, but I often inadvertently stop the code without enabling the events again. Therefore I can't get my VBA to execute again unless I close excel down and restart. This is a pain as I have to find my place in the code again!
I am having difficulties with my Worksheet_Activate() macro. It works great within workbook1 when it is only workbook1 open - but when I open another workbook2, the macro stills runs, presumably because Sheet1 of workbook1 is still activated as well as the newly activated sheet in workbook2.
Is there a way to ensure that only 1 worksheet of 1 workbook is activated at a time? Or that sheet1 of workbook1 is deactivated when workbook2 is opened/clicked on? I need my Worksheet_Deactivate macro to run to get rid of my Worksheet_Activate macro (which runs an application that resets the function of keyboards keys). Otherwise moving around workbook2 is a nightmare. When I navigate back to workbook1 while workbook2 is still open, I still want sheet1 of workbook1 to be activated and my macro to run .
I have a textbox from the drawing toolbar. When someone changes a cell then clicks in the textbox, Worksheet_Change does not run. If they double click in the cell, that's OK I can capture that event and protect the sheet, stopping them clicking in it. But if they just start typing in the cell, I can't capture that. I have seen some API code which captures keypresses, but it is not practical to use as it loops repeatedly. I could lock the textbox and have the user do something to unlock it, but this is a last resort.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a userform with a combobox in it that's rowsource is a column of company names in a worksheet. When a company name is chosen, a combobox change private sub runs and many userform textboxes are populated with information about the company that was chosen from the combobox dropdown. This information is stored on a worksheet. I then want to edit any of the information in these textboxes. Once my edits are made I have a CommandButton that is pressed to save the edit changes. This CommandButton runs a private sub that disables the combobox (thinking this would prevent the combobox private sub from running), deletes the row that the information originated from, and then SHOULD make a new row of values based on the contents of the textboxes following the edits. The problem is that the CommandButton coding that deletes the row causes the combobox change private sub to run because the company that had been selected is now the missing from the rowsource; this causes an error.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI want to execute as the user saves the workbook. I want to unhide the rows that may have been hidden during use, on the save. I would prefer it to just happen with no interaction with the user. They save the the book and without them even knowing the rows are unhidden and the file saves. The code it self works as I want it to, I added to a command button with no problems as soon as I add it to the before save in the Thisworkbook it will not even work even if I just try to step in.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Worksheets("Prelims").Range("A11:A511").EntireRow.Hidden = False
Worksheets("Elecs").Range("A11:A1261").EntireRow.Hidden = False
Worksheets("Civils").Range("A11:A5011").EntireRow.Hidden = False
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Worksheets("Civils").Select
End Sub
Here is my existing code...
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Application. ScreenUpdating=False
' Cancel user prompted save procedure
Cancel = True
' Code removed... changes some values and settings before saving
ThisWorkbook.Save
' Code removed... return the original values and settings
Application.ScreenUpdating=True
End Sub
For some reason, the workbook is not being saved when the above code is executed. It seems the problem lies with "ThisWorkbook.Save"... in that it just isn't saving! If I delete "Cancel=True", the workbook will save (obviously!).
I have spent an hour trying to work this out and have come to the conclusion that it is something other than my code... has anyone experienced this problem before?
I need to use the BeforeClose event to save the workbook with the same name when a user closes it. (82 users and they all seem to want to give it their own name.) I have the following code in the BeforeClose event but would like to eliminate the prompt "this file already exists, do you want to replace it" I have tried using the Application.DisplayAlerts = False but this seems to stop the workbook from saving.
I have a public demention called wbName and is set to the workbook name in an outo open macro
Public wbName
Public Sub auto_open()
wbName = ActiveWorkbook.Name
UserForm2.Show

& Chr(10) & " " _
& Chr(10) & "Enter Only Account Name, Date, and Corresponding_ Calls/Details", vbCritical, "Caution"
End Sub
I have a command button code on a sheet that checks if all the cells in a table have been completed before saving the worksheet. If they're not all complete a userform message box pops up with a reminder then returns to the sheet without saving. I want to be able to call this from the 'BeforeClose' event as well however, even though it still does what it's supposed to do, after the userform message box has displayed and been unloaded then it still pops up the Save Dialog box.
I'm struggling to suppress the Save Dialog box and return to the sheet.
I have many worksheets in a workbook that need to be saved if a user changesanything on them.
These sheet names all end in "....SD" and the code needs to only run on those sheets. I have learned alot from the forum but not enough, just yet . . This is what I have so far:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Dim sht As Object
For Each sht In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
If LCase(Right(ws.Name, 2)) = "sd" Then
MsgBox(Prompt:="You must save changes. Save now?", Buttons:=vbYesNo) = vbYes Then ThisWorkbook.Save
End Sub
It doesn't like the 2 "Then's". (Don't laugh - I'm trying.)
In the situation where I shut down my model (i.e. not just press Ctrl+S, but shut it down), the following code saves the model twice. I only want it to save once. I really can't see why it saves a second time.
NB: I know if you set Cancel to True in the BeforeSave event, it should prevent the model from saving after the event, but even when set to true in the below code, it still saves...
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
bIsClosing = True 'Given we shut model, this public bIsClosing is set to true...
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim wsArray() As Variant
Dim iCnt As Integer
Dim wsSht As Worksheet
Application. ScreenUpdating = 0
Splash.Visible = True 'Splash is codename for warning spreadsheet, this is left
'visible while all other sheets are to be hidden.......................
I have a code in file A that opens several files (B,C,D&E), copies some data from them, then closes the files. That part of the code works fine, but each of the files that are opened (B,C,D,&E) have a Workbook Open event that causes the file to save automatically every 30 seconds. (I know this is not recommended, but this is what the user wants.) The files also have a Workbook Before Close event that is supposed to stop the timer so the file will close without reopening. These each run fine on their own.But if I run code A, the workbook Before Close event in file B (C,D, & E) does not seem to run and the files reopen after 30 seconds to save. When I step through the code it works fine and goes through the Before Close event in each file and the files remain closed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a macro check if a file has been saved (ever). If so I want the macro to do a regular save (with already esatablished filename and location) before it proceeds with the rest of the macro. If the file hasnt been saved (if it runs from a new workbook) then I want it to pop up the save.as dialog, so that the user can choose the name and location of the file before the macro continues .
The macro itself is saved in personal.xlsx.
I'm trying to have a macro that opens the save as window, places the name in cell f5 and then allows you to save the workbook with cell f5 as the filename. I have managed to get the save as window to come up and the cell f5 as the name, but when I press save is doesn't. Here is what I have (also, is there a way to direct this to a specific folder).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that copy one sheet of the Active workbook and sends it via email.
I need to add a code in this sheet so when one opens it from the email, with a command button to be able to save the file to specific, fixed folder on the local network with it’s original file name.
Here in our department we made a pretty elaborate macro that takes a report and sorts them out to 17 different sheets in a one workbook. This Macro pulls a file from a specific location on our server and then opens the CSV sorts it out color codes all the important information and saves it back onto the server under you specific initials.
They are four PC's along with our Managers laptop that run this Macro daily.
About 3 weeks ago my Managers laptop stops running the Macro completely and hangs in the middle of the whole thing. Eventually crashing Excel.
We try to remove the modules and re-import them back into the personal macro workbork but this does not work. The Macro's did not change and still fully function on the other four desktops to this day.
I uninstall Office on my Managers laptop and reinstall. Import the Modules again and still hangs up in very same spot it did 3 weeks ago.
I've tried to lower the macro security to the lowest level also and I've still had no luck with this laptop. I don't understand. The Macro's function perfectly on other PC's but will not function on this laptop.
I have a Sheet sheet1 and I want to run a macro when the cell D2 in Sheet1 is equal to 10,7,5,and 3. I only want this macro to run when those values are reached the macro then puts the data onto a sheet called wps. The macro is run as a module and is a sub macro.
My spreadsheet has 32 worksheets, I've recorded a macro to do the job "save, save as with specific name", but what I want is, when save as, I wanted the file name increase in one number, and the date in a specific range "H8:J8" the date should be the next saturday.
here is part of the code.
Range("D11:J65").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("J44").Select
Sheets("NsFri").Select
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-12
Range("A12:A21,D12:I21").Select
on this example I want the file saved as "PrA4W05.xls", being the next week "PrA4W06.xls", and so on.
and on "H8:J8" the next saturday.
Is there a way to write a Worksheet_SelectionChange (ByVal Target As Range) event in module after creating a sheet in VBA? I constantly delete a sheet, then repopulate it with a new one that is empty, but I need to add some code that happens if they should change a particular cell. It worked when I ran it on a worksheet without refreshing, but as soon as I cleared and repopulated the sheet, it was gone. Is there a way to preserve this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a macro to run from a form button, within a report, to save a file to a variable file path and name depending on the date value in cell B5.
The format of B5 looks like - 13/08/2014 16:39
The file path has folders for each year in format "yyyy" with each year having sub folders for each month in format "mm".
The file name is just the date only and is formatted "dd.mm.yy" e.g. 13.08.14
I have tried the code below in various permutations but always end up with an error - Method 'SaveAs' of object '_Workbook' failed.

I have a situation where I have a macro that sorts on sheet1. I would like it to run when a cell changes on sheet2 in E9:N21. Since the cells on sheet1 are linked to data on sheet2, I cannot trigger the macro from sheet1 due to the cells being formulas instead of values.
Here is what I have tried and it is not working. I must be doing something wrong with the syntax.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range(Sheets("Games")("E9:N21"))) Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
Else
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=33
Rows("6:55").Select
Range("A55").Activate
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("A55"), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlGuess _
, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
Range("A3").Select
End If
End Sub
The macro below works great as a conditional format routine on the Input sheet of the workbook, however I would like it to run on the Data sheet as well, but with a different range (E3:CE117). Can this be done?
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim dcell As Range
Dim icolour As Integer
For Each dcell In Range("c15:g27")
Select Case dcell.Value
Case "GA"
icolor = 43
Case "GAC"
icolor = 4
Case "LA"
icolor = 45.....................
Can i run a macro by just the pointer going over it.
View 9 Replies View Relatedi currently have a workbbok that i have a very simple worksheet event macro that will filter a seperate sheets contents to the corresponding entry number. is there any way to make a dynamic event macro that will filter my second sheet depending on what cell is selceted on the first.
for example record 1 on sheet 1. if cell L1 is selected it will filter sheet 2 to to record 1, record 2 on sheet 1, if cell L2 is selected it will filter sheet 2 record 2 and so on. this list of records will continue to grow and i cant think of any way other than what i currently have, which is to make each filter macro for every cell.
is ther a better way example of CODE HERE

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)

with an event macro. Basically I have a workbook with 11 worksheets and have created a macro that increases the value of cell J3 by 1 in Sheet1. However at present it only works from Sheet5, but I now need it to run from Sheet6 and Sheet11 as well and not from any other worksheets. The code I have is as follows
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
If ActiveSheet.CodeName = "Sheet5" Then
With Sheet1
.Range("J3").Value = .Range("J3").Value + 1
End With
