Attached 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.

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.
1st - Need a macro to change a range of cells colours based on a single cell having a value greater than 0.001. ie. cells A1 - G1 need to change to grey based on cell F1 having a value greater than 0.001 entered in it?
2nd - Also a macro for deleting the text contents of cell C1 based on cell F1 having a value greater than 0.001. Therefor if cell F1 has a number greater than 0.001 it changes the colour of celss A1 - G1 and also deletes the text in cell C1?
Can i run a macro by just the pointer going over it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedPut in a statement within a Macro that populates cells with the values that I want it to but instead of populating all at the same time, is it possible for the values to be delayed.
I have designed a mock spreadsheet (attached) it has two columns 'Before' and 'After'
After = Before values (in this mock)
When you press the button, the values are populated straight into the 'After column' can we add the delay between the values? So that the values dont come up straight away.
I'm trying to get a macro to run when the user presses the save button. I have the following code:
[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 a macro that takes about a minute to run. I would like to add a progress bar to appear once the macro starts running. There are no loops in the macro. What are my options?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 3 different sheets with a private sub on each all labelled
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
The macro's runs fine on each page.
I want to put a macro on a separate sheet that i can run each of those macro's
I did initially copy the original private macro and change the
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
to
sub report()
But I couldn't do all 3 in the same manner. i did change each name to something different... the other 2 subs did run, but they didn't do anything except put the massage box on the end saying that "the macro has finished".
The private macros are on sheets 26, 28 and 12.
I have 7 different workbooks as part of my daily routine.
At present the first workbook is opened via the task scheduler, and the macro is run using the following code
[Code] .....
This then opens the next workbook and closes the current one. The next workbook then runs its macro again from a timed call
[Code] ...........
This repeats for 7 workbooks. The problem is, if a macro overruns - the whole schedule is out of sync when macro's are called depending on the time. What I would like to do, is link each macro by calling for the next one, and closing the current workbook. However, when i have tried to do this, the macro has always stopped when the workbook has been closed - the next macro doesn't run.
Below is the entire code that I am using. It is a simple routine which checks whether a part has started its release process or not, based upon dates. The code works and does what I want.
The problem that I have is that it is very slow, for example it takes 35 seconds to go through 530 lines items. In my (limeted) experiance, based on other VBA doodlings this slow.
I already have a macro made named (PowerPoint) that is saved to the wookbook. I am looking for a way to have this run every 20min. I have tried several differnt things and it did not work. Here is one I found online. I only need it to run when it is open and every 20mins. as long as I have it open.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 2 workbooks (Workbook1 and Workbook2).
Workbook 1 contains a button, that calls a macro. This macro calls a macro from Workbook 2.
For this, I am using the Application.Run function.
The Macro in Workbook2 is a simple one line macro that updates cell A2 to a value of 6.
Range("A2").Value = 6
This works fine!
However, I want the the cell A2 in WORKBOOK1 to change to 6, not the cell in Workbook 2.
To add an element of difficulty, Workbook 1 could have any name (I won't know what it is, as the user could change it).
How can I get the Macro in Workbook 2 (Called from Workbook1), to update the cells in Workbook 1.
I have a problem with a macro in Excel 2007. It invokes
solver and creates an answer report. Please find the VB
code for macro, below.
How do I ask for a confirmation box before running a macro, but only one time. What I mean is some of the macros I use loop and it wouldn't be practical to click on "ok" for each time the macro ran.
So again I just need some code to tack on to the beginning of a couple of my macros that will ask me before they run but only once.
I have the following macro in a worksheet...and it is running very slow. There are other macros in the worksheet and they all run very well. Any ideas by looking at this code why it would be so slow in running?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet containing a macro to automatically sum values from week to week and display the max/min and average. This is almost fully working. The problem I have is the macro copies the sum formula down the page and doesn't stop at the last row. It always adds one or two extra rows. The formula should stop at row 77 however this does not happen and therefore the sum keeps going. Which in turn, distorts the max/min figures.

I have a list of IP addresses that I want to use this on, however if I test this by using the test instructions, excel does nothing, its just text in a cell, so I would like to know how would this procedure get called from the spreadsheet?

I am trying to achieve an automated macro.
I would like my spreasheet to look at cell B2, compare this to a list of information in Sheet2 and if it matches, run Macro1
I'm trying to run what is a pretty basic macro when a file is closed
Sub Auto_Close()
FileCopy "C:Documents and SettingsdaveDesktopWorking olderPlanner.xls", "S:LeavePlanner.xls"
End Sub
I've checked that the Auto_Close feature is what I need, but it just doesn't seem to be running
I've tried it from clicking the x, and also File>Close, but with the same lack of success
I have a problem which involves calling an excel macro from another application – in this case, ruby.
$excel.Run "ActionCommands.xlsm!CreateDynamicDataSources"
Here is the simplified macro that it calls
Sub CreateDynamicDataSources()
MsgBox "Hello"
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveCell.Formula = "Hello"
End Sub
The good news is, the macro is indeed being called because the MsgBox is executing. It may even be able to read cells and send the data back to ruby or display it in a message box. The bad news is I can’t select a sheet or cell and actually write to it! When I call this macro from Excel it works as expected. How do I fool Excel (2007) into thinking it’s OK to allow these operations. There is no explicit message that says “Hey this is in read only mode” but I suspect that is what is going on.
I have a macro running with columns from A to H and ''infinite'' rows
+conditionnal formating and one formula for the value in column D
I'd like to add one more condition, but I can't figure how...
*I'd like to add a step to the macro on sheet1 to automatically move a whole row (a to h) to sheet2 as soon as my equation in column D find a value = 0
after each row is transfered, i'd like to sort it in a descending order on sheet2 based on the number value in column A
what to add to get this to work
Private Sub WorkSheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub 'Only run if 1 cell is changed
If Target.Column 8 Then Exit Sub 'Only run if change is in Column "F"
If Target = Cells(Target.Row, "A") Then 'Check to see if entry matches column "A"
Else:
MsgBox "Invalid entry"
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Undo
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
Range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(Target.Row, 8)).Sort Key1:=Cells(2, 8), Order1:=xlDescending
End Sub
Is it possible to run the following macro automatically using VBA when cells B2 and C2 equals "Yes"? I don't want any manual intervention for this to happen.

I am trying to run a Macro every tenth of a second. The usual method (with "Now" and "TimeDate") cannot do that; I found on the website that one can use "Timer" but I did not manage to make it work.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that would run once the workbook is opened. This macro would then open another excel file to get updates then close it. Now this file is also being accessed by other persons in the network but just for a split second. Since an opened file would result into an error, what proper codes should I add so that if the file is currently in use, the macro would then run again after 5 seconds and would do the same thing until the file is ready? This is what I have so far. All in the standard module.

I have a macro that isn't very complex but it is running very slow, does anyone know any tricks on how to speed it up?
I want to write some VBA that retrieves data from a lotus notes database into excel. I will then have some other code that manipulates the data for the user. I have managed to do this with MS Query manually. However when I start to put into VBA my problems start. As I do not know Sql I use the macro record function. This worksso far so good. The problems seem to start when I re-run the macro and try to save the workbook. Excel just sits there with the CPU running at 99%. I left the pc for an hour and it was still in the same condition with the status bar showing save.
