Running Multiple In VBA Instances: Controlling Spread Sheet Always Waits For The Code To Return Before It Continues
Apr 28, 2009
i have a spread sheet which has a very complex simulaton in it. excel is not the ideal place for it, but it is not possible to port it wholesale to something more sensible. i have modified the code so that it is possible to run two copies of the spread sheet (in two seperate excel processes) at one time. Due to the dual core nature of the machine this has almost no overhead.
I have created a controlling spread sheet that is cabable of launching multiple copies of the simulation and starting the code executing. the problem is the controlling spread sheet always waits for the code to return before it continues, hence it would open two seperate versions of excel, start the first simulation executing and then wait until it completes before starting the next one. is there any way of starting a function in another work book without waiting for the execution to complete?
I am looking for a formula that will return the cell numbers of multiple instances of the item found using VLOOKUP. For example if I am looking for "A123", this may occur in more than one cell in the search range. I want to be able to return all the cell reference numbers of that instance.
The database is for a Prison, and an obvious item to search for on a userform is Prison number. I have a serach option that generates an array listing in a listbox, selecting that item then populates the userform - no problem.
The problem occurs when an individual has more than once instance that has been recorded, is it possible to have more than one row generated in a listbox that can be selected, I only want indiviudal rows selected. The coding I am using for one of the single instance listbox is etc etc etc has been used to demonstrate that the coding continues to the length of the array requied
Private Sub FindAll() Dim FirstAddress As String Dim strFind As String 'what to find Dim rSearch As Range 'range to search
Dim fndA, fndB, fndC, fndD, fndE, 'etc etc etc' As String
Dim i As Integer i = 1 Set rSearch = Sheet1.Range("ChargeNo.") strFind = Me.CbAdjFind.Value 'find Charge No With rSearch Set c = .Find(strFind, LookIn:=xlValues)..............
I need to create a spread sheet that in Col A has 3 variables, each of which I need to triger 1)fill of that row, 2)different formula's in different columns within that row. Is this possible in excel?
I have some code I have created to set page breaks. Depending on a previous option, my report will be either 3,6,9,12, or 15 pages. The info on each page varies in length, but I use table headers to separate the data onto different pages so none of the tables are split into more than one page.
My problem when the code gets to a certain line, it gives me error 1004. I will hit "Debug", then I hit continue and the code finishes. I don't understand why I am getting an error on this line, and why I don't have to fix anything to get it to finish running.
with code in which I import data from the web via a query then try to use end(xlUp).row to find the last row of the query. Right now, the code continues while the worksheet still displays "Getting Data...", so the last row always comes out as row 1. After the data is finished importing, however, the last row is most definitely not 1.
If I put a break point after the query and wait for the data to finish importing, then let the code finish, it runs perfectly. But how can I have the code automatically wait to move on until the data is finished importing?
I've got a User Form that works perfectly. It's activated on Chart Month sheet, you enter data into it and it switches to Comments sheet and copies the data, before returning back to the Chart Month sheet.
I have now added the same functionality to Chart Week sheet. Both Chart sheets use the same comments data, so it doesn't matter if you run the User Form from Chart Month or Chart Week. However, when I run the User Form from Chart Week then it switches to the Chart Month sheet once it copies the data, as I have Chart Month in the code. How do I get it to return to the sheet that it was originally on ie either Chart Week or Chart Month?
Code: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim emptyRow As Long
I am making a spreadsheet that sorts and pastes, but I need to know if I can add a code to the Sort and Paste Macro that will open the second spread sheet needed without just already having it open and using the
Find Multiple instances of Numeric Criterion in Row & Return To a Single Column.
I have a Dynamic Named Range "Data" spanning 10 Columns and many Rows. Each Row may contain duplicates of the Numeric Criterion.
I would like to find ALL instances of a specific Numeric Criterion across each single Row in the Dynamic Range "Data" and have the Results returned to a New Sheet in a single column.
NEW Sheet: The Numeric Criterion is housed in G5. The matched criterion should be returned to the New Sheet starting at G7. Duplicate instances in the same Row should ALL be returned to the same cell in Column G on the New Sheet.
Sample Data Layout: Columns I J K L M N O P Q R Row No.76 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 Row No.77 2 2 3 2 1 2 2 0 0 0 Row No.78 3 3 3 3 3 0 3 0 3 0
Scenario: Looking for Numeric Criterion 1 (one).
Expected Results - New Sheet: Row No.7 Column G (Cell G7) 1111111 Row No.8 Column G (Cell G8) 1
In Row 76 of the Sample Data ALL seven Numeric Criterion of 1 (one) should be returned to the same cell G7. In Row 77 of the Sample Data there is only one Numeric Criterion of 1 and it should be returned to cell G8.
I have placed the code I am using below. It takes values from a hidden sheet (PACTAct) and places them on a visible sheet (Email). The code moves between the two.
It works at the minute by unhiding the PACTAct sheet then at the end re-hiding it. However I don't want the user to see this sheet whilst the vba is running. Is there a way I can simply refer to the worksheet without unhiding it?
I have the following code, I have it running to just work on Sheet 2 but I would like it to be able to run on mulitple sheets, not all but a range like from Sheet2:Sheet30.
I am copying a large sheet into a spread sheet. The problem is one of the columns contain numbers with some cells having an asterisk at the end of the number. This causes problems with the formulas on other sheets that use this data. Can I use a formula or what is the best way to eliminate the "*".
I have included the table. What I want to do is in a user form pick a county ie Devon, Then by clicking "go" all entries that contain "Devon" are then copied to a " sheet 2" I don't want to use the Ctrl-F
I have text strings containing 3 commas at all times (see below for example). All instances of the commas are names at either end of the comma (Last, First). My request is how would I be able to retrieve *only* the 2nd and 3rd names (in separate cells) and omitting the rest of the text?
Example: A1 - Source 2/1/2010 Random - Text - Containing 1LastName, 1FirstName 2LastName, 2FirstName 3LastName, 3FirstName Some Other Text 555555556 1234567890 1 0 0
I have multiple sheets in one file. I need a code (that will be ran at random) to look at all the sheet names and the ones that end in the word "Archive" to move to another file.
I need to convert data from column IDS into separate rows, all other columns need to stay in tact. There are several distinct patterns for the IDS column, main identifiers are always starting with FILER or TEAL and the trailing numbers behind it have no more than 6 digits.
I have a total of 364 rows of data for this table.
My output table looks like the following:
{mod note - HTML not working and removed}
What I want the output from a formula(???) to do is put every 'Play Date' for each 1st, 2nd, & 3rd column for every number from 0 to 9. So under Column A for zero and 1st I want every date that is listed in the source table in column 1st to list out. All I can get is the first instance of a date and nothing else.esn't use that would be great.
FYI the formula that I used to get the one entry in column A row 4 was this:
I am working on an excel sheet (2007) with about 8 pivots from the same data (huge db). The 8 pivots take a different cuts of data. One filter element is same across all pivots. (For instance let us say that filter is City names: with 10 different city values in it- NY, London, Chicago etc)
What I would like to do is have a system where I just chose NY in one place and all the 8 pivots should use NY as one of the filters and refreash the data accordingly.
What I am doing now is I got to each pivot, choose NY first and then refreash all for the data.
I have a spreadsheet where cells L4 W4 have headers (no spaces in this range), e.g. Cust1, Cust2, Cust3 etc... etc... Column C contains product names ....
Each product will have a value under each heading (but not all), e.g. Product A = Cust1:10 Cust2(blank) Cust3:4 Cust4(blank) etc... etc...
What I need is a formula that looks along the row for each product and returns the header name if there is a value. Therefore, in the example above the formula result would be Cust1Cust3 ....
I have a userform with 40 text boxes in it. I have learnt how to restrict people entering anything other than numbers into a text box using the following code on the keypress property of the textbox:
Const Number$ = "0123456789." ' only allow these characters
If KeyAscii 8 Then If InStr(Number$, Chr(KeyAscii)) = 0 Then KeyAscii = 0 Exit Sub End If End If
Rather than have 40 of these blocks of code (one for each text box), is it possible to somehow group them so that a block of code is applicable to all of them?
For the sake of arguement, the textboxes are called data1 up to data40
I have a spread sheet (sheet2) that runs an add-in and does some calculations and arrives at a result which is a number in cell P6. All I have to do is type in a Stock Symbol in cell A1, and the sheet runs the add-in, calculation automatically. If I change the symbol in A1, the sheet re-runs the add-in/calculation and gives me the result for the new stock in cell P6.
Sheet 1, has a list of stocks, indexed in Column A.
Rather than me changing the symbol manually in sheet 2 cell A1, how can I automate it such that it will run the functionality automatically for each symbol in Sheet1 column A sequentially and then tabulate the results for each stock/symbol in Sheet 1 column B.
I tried to attach the sheet/book herewith, but could not. It is less than 100KB in size
I have a few hundred work orders done in Excel. Each spread sheet is a seperate file but all are identical in structure (basic order form). I need to change the value in the same cell on all the forms (manager's name needs to be changed on all our forms).
Question: How do I do this without having to open and edit all five thousand forms?
i have two sheets, one to display results (Reults tab) & the other tab containing the data (Data tab)
what i am trying to do is some how create a search function and have a forumula which contains a LIKE function that looks up the data table RANGE = Data!A2:K255
the search needs to lookup the primary column Data!B2:B255 ... if any results are found .. show them on the results tab.. and if multiple results are found, display those as well.. (in either instance, the whole row of information in respect to the results need to be dislayed and hopefully no duplicates are found .. eg, Data!A:K of a hit)
is there a formula that can achieve this? oh, the search is TEXT based and there should be no empty cells within the dataset
after some MASSIVE googling, i have stumbled accross this
B1 = Search box (txt field)
A6 (which will be a hidden column) contains =MATCH($B$1,Data!A2:A255,0). this formula provides the first instance of the result and provides the row number
A7 contains =MATCH($B$1,OFFSET(Data!$A$1,A6+1,0,8-(A6+1),1),0)+A6. this is supposed to look for the next row number which contains a match and provide that row number
and througout my other columns, i have B6=OFFSET(Data!$A$1,A6,1) B7=OFFSET(Data!$A$1,A6,2) B8=OFFSET(Data!$A$1,A6,3) and so on
2 things i cannot recitify..
1, the match has to be EXACT ... unfortunately i cannot use exact .. needs to be LIKE .. eg, i cant use the search word "boat" as the range of data has "boats" 2, it comes up with multile .. irrelevent results.
formular to show a coinage total in a spread sheet im sure its to do with < > but new to this and dont have a clue any help apreciated. This is what i am trying to achieve.
excel formula If A1= 10 Then B2= 0 If A1 =7 Then B2 = -3 If A1=13 Then B2= 3
I am working towards creating a spreadsheet for making a budget for a film + a system to monitor the expenses vs budget allocated on a day to day basis (to ensure the budget is not being crossed).
I would like to calculate the average number of hours worked per day in a particular week from my time sheet (in "Google spread sheets"). Daily hours are calculated in hr:min:sec format. Days not worked display 0:00:00. The formula I use to calculate total hours worked that weeK is for row 9 as follows: =INT( SUM(G9,K9,O9,S9,W9) )*24+LEFT(TEXT( SUM(G9,K9,O9,S9,W9) ,"HH:mm"),2)&TEXT( SUM(G9,K9,O9,S9,W9) , ":mm:ss")
How do I calculate the average number of hrs and minutes worked per day (excluding days not worked, cells containing 0:00:00)
