when I run the code, because I have used many "Sheets("SheetNameHere").Select", the user will see the sheets flicking backward and forward many times and to avoid confusion, I don't want them to think "what the hell!"
Is there a way where I can still activate the sheets needed, but to somehow run all of "the code" in the background so all the user see's is maybe a status box or something which says "Please wait..."
I'm writing a VB macro that will find the start time and finish time of a job and then work out the time it took to run.
So for example:
D E
09:53 wsp285A 09:53 wsp285A 09:53 wsp285A 09:53 wsp285A 09:53 wsp285A 09:59 wsp285A 09:59 wsp285A 10:06 wsp285A 10:06 wsp285A 10:13 wsp285A 10:13 wsp285A 10:20 wsp285A 10:20 wsp285A 10:26 wsp285A 10:26 wsp470a 10:29 wsp470A 10:29 wsp470A10:29 wsp470A 10:29 wsp470A 10:29 wsp470A 10:29 wsp470A
In the above I want to work our how long job 285A takes, I will need to find the first instance of the job by looping forwards through the data, and the last instance by looping backwards, then taking the last time away from the first.
The only problem is, I have no idea how to write this in VB!!
The job name is always in column E
The time is always in column D
I want to paste the time taken in for arguments sake in cell E1 of the current worksheet
I have a button that a user clicks to print the info they entered. I need some code to add a running count to a cell (say, H2) every time the user clicks that button and runs the print macro.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am encountering a problem with worksheets.copy that occurs after the copy method is called a certain amount of times. My issue is similar (exactly the same?) to what is described in these threads:
- Worksheet Copy: Method 'Copy' of Object 'Worksheet' Failed
- Copy Method of Worksheet Class Failed in Loop Code
In my case, after running this code 40 times, it fails.
If loc_after Is Nothing Then
.COPY after:=Worksheets(sht_name_orig) 'throws error here after being called 40 times
Else
.COPY after:=loc_after
End If
I would like this code to be able to run more than 40 times. I have read Dave's suggested solution regarding creating a worksheet template:
http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/excel-wo...-templates.htm
However, in my situation the client has specifically asked that the report come as a single stand alone excel file with no add ins. In addition, I am copying several different worksheets, not just one single template that is being used over and over.
I have a cell in sheet1 (say, B2) in which I can key a date. Once I change that date, cell C10 updates (after I hit F9 to recalculate) with a new number based on the new date.
I have a list of dates on another sheet, from 1/1/2009 to 12/31/2013, all in column B. I want to produce VBA code that will run through each day, 1/1/2009 to 12/31/2009, in sheet1 cell B2 and take the output in C10 and place it next to each day in column B until it reaches the end (12/31/2013). I know this is possible but for some reason am having trouble coming up with the right looping mechanism.
You can imagine if I had to manually key in each day to get the desired output how tedious that would be.
I am dealing with several very large spreadsheets using VBA to do various things. I found that my code worked well, but was taking a long time to run. The biggest time consumer was my use of the AutoFilter features. I have since turned calculations to manual before my code runs and set it back to auto when my code is done running. What are the potential consequences of my turning calculations to manual and then back to auto?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with 2 sheets. Sheet1 has a textbox and 2 option buttons named "north"and "south", and 2 command buttons named "send"and "retrieve".
Also a lot of other boxes, but they're not relevant.
I enter a unique number in the textbox, press one of the option buttons and press "send".
All data is now written in sheet2 in one row.
this all works ok.
Sometimes I need to change some data, so I enter the number in the textbox and press "retrieve". I get all the data back on sheet1, except the option buttons don't change correct. If on sheet2 the value = "north" I would like optionbutton1 to have the black dot and if the value="south" optionbutton2 should have the dot.
Now it's like they are on strike. they just don't react folowing the value of sheet2,collumn G, row "x".
I have some code which I want to run on all apart from one sheet called 'List'. At the moment I am selecting each sheet before running code for the specified sheet. This doesn't allow for any sheet name changes etc. or additional sheets. Is there a quicker way of doing this rather than having a sub to manually select each sheet?
Here is an example of my code for a button on the sheet called 'List'. The only thing Sheet1, Sheet2 does in this code is select that sheet.
Some of my sheets are flickering even when there is no macro running. It blinks and flashes from time to time. It does not affect the funktion in the sheet except that its annoying as hell. Some times I have to scroll down and back up to "clear" the screen from the flicker/flash effects.
I can open an old file fresh and it flickers and flashes from start. It doesnt matter if I start it with or with out macro activated.
I would like to run the code below on selected sheets in my workbook:
Range("B9:AW38, AZ9:BE38, b3").ClearContents
I tried using this but it doesn't work:
Sub clear()
Sheets( Array("sheet A", "sheet B", "sheet C")).Select
Range("B9:AW38, AZ9:BE38, b3").ClearContents
End Sub

I now have the spreadsheet I want to distribute saved as an add in stored in a network repository. RoyUK has provided me with some links with code I lifted to add custom menu items.
The last problem I have is that I'm not trying to call a macro, but am instead trying to load the sheets (there are 4 sheets) and forms (there are 7 forms).
With what I have now, I can launch a macro with no problem, but cannot get the sheets / forms displayed to the user. I've tried launching a form by loading / showing it, but I get error message (runtime error 9).
I need to run a very simple macro (filter by date, copy, and paste) on every worksheet in a workbook, and then place that data into a summary page at the "end" of the workbook. Most other posts had to do with some kind of formatting that would work in succession on the sheets linearly from left to right (for lack of a better way to put it). My problem, however, is that the data would need to be pasted into the summary worksheet, and then somehow the macro would come back to the next sheet (after the one it just did) and do it all over again, so on and so forth. The worksheets are arranged alphabetically, but other than that there is no sort of easily identifiable progression between them (i.e. Sheet1, Sheet 2, etc.).

This is bizarre - over the last year or so, on two machines (one Win98SE/Off2K, the other Win2KSP4/Off2K3), very occasionally a change I've made to Excel/VBA code has been ignored (eg to add a MSGBOX call) - even after I've restarted Excel. The workaround is to add a blank line and remove it again in the actual code module, but its both annoying and intriguing,

There is a Microsoft VBA bug currently outstanding where if your VBA replicates a sheet too many times, it throws a run-time error. I read MS' statement that, to get around this problem, what one can do is to save and close the file, and re-open the file once in a while.
Doing this certainly helped, where it used to crash after copying only a few times and now it goes on until 40 ~ 50 times. But it still crashes. Has anybody been able to get around this problem? Currently I am having VBA save, close and re-open the file every 7 or 8 times or so...
My code runs so slow! The sheet only has 233 rows and 6 of them are not in the loop.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have written some code intended to automatically clear a cell when data appears in it from an external source. In one spreadsheet, it seems to work exactly as expected, ie when the cell is polulated, it immediately clears the contents. In another spreadsheet, with exactly the same code, it will not automatically clear. If I put it in debug mode and step through it line by line, then it does do as expected but otherwise it won't.

Now I've added the code into my module (at the bottom) it doesn't work.

I'm trying to create a spreadsheet that uses one cell to enter a dollar amount and stores the amount entered in another cell. But I would like the input cell be zero after each entry, and the cell storing the amounts to keep a running total.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAttached is an example of the program. The purpose of this program is to allow someone with very little knowledge about the information to enter data. The first tab labeled "Instructions" is will have two macros assigned to the buttons at the bottom of the page. The first macro labeled "Move Data" will move data will clear data in the shaded cell on the "Entry Form" sheet and fill those cells in with '----. The second macro labeled "Generate and Save" will save a master copy of the program, save a historical copy of the program by date, and print/save a pdf copy of the "Reports" sheet.
Each one of the historical (the last 8 sheets of the program) sheet receives data from the "Entry Form" and then moves the data by date into the table for archiving purposes.
If you look at the code for the "Entry Form". I have a couple of subs. The first being Worksheet_change. the first section of this code is to force certain cells to be uppercase. This part of the code is working fine. The second part of the code is the Dim MyValues. This part is working fine also, but...
My issue is... When I run the move data macro from the "Instructions" sheet the Dim MyValues reads these as changes to the cells and wants to push the data to the historical sheets.
What I would like is an IF Statement above the Dim MyValues part of this code that stops the Dim MyValue part of the code running if those values are blank, 0, or have '---- entered into them.

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 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 a macro, that basically runs a sub routine to count down say for example 1 min, at which time the workbook closes. However if the user opens one of the forms I would like to turn off the background timer macro. How can I do this with code? Is there code that does the opposite of 'application.run'?
View 1 Replies View RelatedLet's say I have 6 Worksheets in my Workbook with the following names:
Sheeta1
Sheeta2
Sheeta3
Sheetb1
Sheetb2
Sheetb3
And I have three Subs that I want to run, one Sub for two specific Worksheets.
How could I code my Subs so that the first Sub runs on Sheeta1 and Sheetb1, the second Sub runs on Sheeta2 and Sheetb2, and the last Sub runs on Sheeta3 and Sheetb3?
As you can see, the 1, 2 and 3 in the Worksheet names are what links the Subs to the Worksheet.
