Running A Macro From A Different Workbook
Dec 18, 2008I 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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedRunning Macros From A Separate Workbook
Jun 9, 2008Our department receives weekly and fortnighly updated workbooks from a number of different departments. Each workbook contains 10s of worksheets. Our department analyzes the data and generates reports from those worksheets.
I have developed a few macros to automate the report generation for making the computing of my colleagues easier.
Now, the problem is that all the macros are developed behind individual sheets and some modules. For this reason, my colleagues have to copy each updated sheet and paste over the older ones individually, each and every time. It is really quite time-consuming task - deleting older data from all the worksheets and then copying fresh data on each of them, one by one.
They want to make their life easier by just replacing the entire workbooks with the new ones and still want the macros functioning, as usual.
My concern is how I can put all the code in a separate workbook and how to reference data from the other workbook.

View 1 Replies View RelatedError With Running VBA Code Module For Another Workbook
Mar 13, 2012I have a workbook which I regularly upload that cannot have macros within it; however, to update and process the data, I must utilize VBA Code.
I tried to work around this by storing my macros in a module in another workbook. My process is to have the VBA Code Module from the other workbook open and have the active workbook be the one I want to change, then I run the VBA Code from the other workbook.
This used to work. However, I am recently getting problems with the Code not running correctly. Sometimes it only runs the code if the affected cells are not hidden; other times it will not run the code at all!
ADODB Connection: Running SQL Queries On Data Within The Same Workbook
Oct 30, 2008I am simply trying to have some code that would allow me to run relatively simple SQL Queries on Excel Data. This data however will be in a table format within Excel and I will only be needing to query on table at a time; meaning that I don't need relational database features or SQL Joins at all. At most, the SQL Statements will involve WHERE and SORT statements. So, my method is relatively simple:
1. Select an Excel Range (The table being Queried)
2. Provide an SQL Statement
3. Provide an Output range to print the results
After my recent research, I concluded that ODBC/ADODB was the best route. I am very new to ODBC Connections though. Basically, I just set up an ODBC Connection and DataSource using the Control Panel/Administrative Tools. After that, following some templates of others I constructed the following
Sub getData(SQL As String, outRange As Range)
Dim conn As Variant
Dim rs As Variant
Dim cs As String
Dim outCell As Range
Set outCell = outRange.Range("a1")
Dim row As Integer
Dim col As Integer
Set conn = CreateObject("adodb.connection")
Set rs = CreateObject("adodb.recordset")
cs = "DRIVER=Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls);UID = admin;UserCommitSync = Yes;Threads = 3;SafeTransactions = 0;ReadOnly = 1;PageTimeout = 5;MaxScanRows = 8;MaxBufferSize = 2048;FIL=excel 8.0;DriverId = 790;DefaultDir=F:2008Cell PhoneCall Details;DBQ=" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & ThisWorkbook.Name...............................
Macro Stops Running The Macro Completely And Hangs In The Middle
Jul 3, 2007Here 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.

Apr 10, 2014I'm trying to get a macro to run when the user presses the save button. I have the following 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.

Mar 17, 2014I 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.
Running Macro In Different Workbooks
Mar 25, 2014I 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.
Slow Running Macro

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.

View 7 Replies View RelatedMacro To Stop Running At Last Row
Aug 10, 2009I 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.

Running Macro From Ruby
Dec 16, 2008I 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.
Macro Running With Columns From A To H
Jul 3, 2009I 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

Range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(Target.Row, 8)).Sort Key1:=Cells(2, 8), Order1:=xlDescending
