I am trying to set up a macro in excel that will include a save as. This should overwrite an old file. The problem is that I can't get the macro to overwrite. Instead the popup "Do you want to overwrite?" appears and I have to click "OK" manually. Can this be done automaticaly? What is the VB code for it?
View 9 RepliesI presently have a macro that, when run, takes to conents of C4 and C6 and saves a new version of the file being worked on into a folder on my desktop. I love the macro with the exception of one part: I don't want to be prompted to overwrite the file if it already exists. How can I change this macro so that, when pressed, it overwrites the file without prompting the user and waiting for their answer?
Here is the current

i have a master workbook. it gets used daily as a template and saved as another file name. the file name is generated by 5 cells that each contain different data (date, street, town, state). is it possible when i hit the save or save as button/icon, for a file name to be automatically generated from the cells i have data in??

Okay, so you want to create a workbook via code, prompt the user for a SaveAs name, then save this workbook?
Sub CreateAndSave()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim SaveFileName As Variant
Set wb = Workbooks.Add
ChDrive "C"
ChDir "C:VBA Code"
SaveFileName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("It is a new file.xls", _
"Microsoft Excel Workbook (*.xls),*.xls")
On Error Resume Next
If SaveFileName False Then wb.SaveAs FileName:=SaveFileName........................
I am trying to create a macro which copies the data of one column every time I click on it. However, every time I click on it I overwrite the data I already copied. What do I have to do, that instead of overwriting my data it copies it to the next free column.
See example attached. Macro example.xlsx‎
if i run my macro that saves a sheet as a certain name and then prints it, it works, but if i run my macro and the file already exists it asks me to overwrite it. If i select yes it prints it and carrys on with the rest of the macro, (good). If i select no the macro fails. How can i get it so if i hit no, it runs the rest of the macro after the print command?

I can't get the Displayalerts = False to work as it's supposed to when analyzing data running the correlation add-in. (ATPVBAEN.XLAM!Mcorrel)
For each loop the alert is displayed which I don't want it to.
The code below is just an example. I have several rows which I will loop through and therefore the Displayalerts=False must work.

.DisplayAlerts = False
.EnableEvents = False

View 11 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).

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.
I was trying to use Sheet1 (data input sheet) to collect 33 values and write them to Sheet2 as a row. I wanted the user to be able to make changes/corrections. So if the set of data with same date and shift number is entered for a second time, my macro should be able to over-write the existing row in Sheet2. Have been digging for days yet with no avail.
I'm using Win XP pro and Excel 2003.
Just wondering if it is possible to have a formula in a cell but over write it with other digits while preserving the underlying formula?
I can lock the sheet/workbook but cant edit the cells once this is done?
I'm hoping to be able to delete what ever I have overwritten and for the formula to then take effect again.
in cell A1 i have the balance. i would like to record the balance every time it reaches a new high in cell B1. how would this be possible please using excel 2007
View 9 Replies View RelatedColumn A (Plan Date) and Column B (Date Recieved) contain date value. If B2 is blank, A2 will maintain the date entered in it. However if B2 has date (either earlier or later than A2) it will supersede the date with the date value in B2.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've struggled to find the code to unzip files using VBA but I finally found it and it works (using Shell).
The problem is that I want to unzip all zip files in a folder but my zip files contain 3 files:
1 csv file that I want to keep and 1 xml and 1 txt file that I want to delete.
I can't just unzip everything and deal with the txt and xml later because the xml and txt files all have the same name. So if I don't do anything, I have a series of overwriting messages prompting me to click yes or no. So what I want is either to delete xml and txt one by one after they are created or get rid of the overwriting prompt. I've tried to put a kill or delete file just after the unzip command but it doesn't work - it's telling me that the txt file doesn't exist (should I add some sort of refreshing command ?) and I couldn't find anything on google about overwriting text or xml files.
I've just written a bit of looping vba script that generates an overwrite alert (i.e. "Output range will overwrite existing data. Press OK to overwrite..."). This is fine and was purposely built into the script, but I want to be able to automatically ignore these alerts and loop through the script unhindered.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to code a Userform Command button to save data by overwriting a specific row of data. The specific row is to be based on data matching in column A and column B. I'll give an example
Worksheet = "Failures"
Row 1 - Column A - Column B - Value
Row 2 - 12/3/2012 - FOX ------ 23

Row 7 - 14/3/2012 - FOX ------ 26
I would like the code that would search for the specific row (e.g Row 5 discovered by searching for 13/3/2012 and FOX) in the "Failures" Worksheet and then overwrite it with the following data values from a Userform called "QC"
(TextBox1) (TextBox2) (TextBox3)

i have searched this and can't find exactly what i'm looking for. I am hoping some one can alter a piece of script i am using. See script below. Currently it adds a comment in a text box to a new row and i would like it to add it to the end ( cell 15) of the last row used, not a new row. I am a newbie to VBA and am self teaching so the obvious is not really obvious.

'copy the data to the database

I 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 spreadsheet where there is an option to either select a pre-priced item from a drop down list or type in manual entries. If the data is entered manually, I have included a formula to obtain cost data. For example, column A has the number of labor hours and column B multiplies Column A by $500. However, if a person chooses to select a pre-priced item from the drop down menu, can the pre-entered data from the VLookup list overwrite the formula? I do want it to overwrite if it is possible for it to do so.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet that's generated from a download. I need to modify one column of cells based on multiple criteria. Started to try with a nested If statement, but soon passed the limits allowed. Not sure if some kind of VLookup or VBA formula. To summarize what I'm looking for: If column A has a value of any of the following (10D, 11Z, 10Z, 2CS), then I need to change the Rate in column D based on the Years left to maturity in column B. The Rate percentage to be used is based upon the table shown in the attached spreadsheet. In addition, there is an exception if Column A has a value 2CB and an inventory # of 9300276 or 9300277 in column C, then I need to change the rate in column D based on the table as well. Otherwise the rates stay as originally imported.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel sheet that I convert to PDF --here is Example of the name after PDF creates"Morning Report_08.16.14" , When it runs it just overwrites the file automatically if one was already on that date - I would like it to prompt to overwrite & if they choose 'yes' to overwrite the file and if not they can change the name If the new one is in addition to the one that already exists and I want it to save the new file with in the same folder.
Also when the current code is run if the PDF was left opened it stops the macro - Is it possible to see if that file is open and if so close it down so the code will work or is it possible to overwrite the file when open.

I want to be able to enter a value into a cell (within a specified range) and have it automatically multiply by a set value and overwrite the original entry with the result so making it all happen within one cell. The set value would be another cell on that sheet.
So the range for example is "H17:H74" and the value I want to multiply by is "D8"
Is this possible?
I've looked at another forum but it wasn't working when I wanted to define the set value as a cell.
I am trying to make a save&close workbook macro.
I found several examples on google, but unfortunatly it conflicts with another macro I use for forceing users to enable macros (hide all sheets except one if macros are disabled).
The attached file is an example contaning the save&close code and the show/hide sheets depending on macros enabled.
If the file is opened with macros disabled then only one sheet will be visible.
If the file is opened with macros enabled other sheets are visible.
The problem if that this code uses a custom save, witch makes the save&close not save... (in module1 and in ThisWorkbook)
The pourpose of the save&close is to make sure some users don't forget the excel open and thus block access to it. So if a certain idele time passes excel has to save and close without any confirmation messages.
I have a macro that saves each sheet of my workbook to PDF's. I have a macro that runs prior to the save macro that filters each sheet and hides rows I do not need printed.
I simply use a formula to show a 1 in column H.
What I would like to do is sum let's say rows 5:58 and it H59 is below let's say 5 that sheet is not saved as a PDF.
I looked for awhile for a if.then macro that might solve my question, did not see anything that fit.
I want to specify a button that have the function of prompting the user to save the file as new file name. I tried to do the record macro, but I think it's not working as I wanted to. Can any expert teach me the code? As I was creating a standard form (excel file), I don't want the users to overwrite the current file name.
