I am working for a small job shop company that is producing many bespoke products and recently the company has grown up a bit and a shop floor data collection is required in order to have a control over the production process. The company has 14 machines which are operated by 7 operators and this means that each operator is running 2-3 machines at the same time. The best solution for data collection is barcoding into excel. However i need 3 macros (I think) in order to meet my needs. Those macros need to:
1) show what is currently on the machines (who is doing what and when the particular job has started)
Machine
Operator
Part No
Description
Clock In
Note: Description will not be scanned, this can be filled in based on the vlookup from the waiting parts list
2)show what have been done (who did what, on which machine and clock in/out times). Here it is important to mention that sometimes jobs are stopped and taken off the machine and they are put on the machine later on. Sometimes it will be different machine or operator etc)
Part No
Description
Machine
Operator
Clock In
Clock Out
Machine
Operator
Clock In
Clock Out
Machine
Operator
Clock In
Clock Out
3)show what is remaining to machine.
While searching for a solution I have found here a really nice topic which seems to be a good foundation for my needs Scan barcode to excel with date & time stamp in & out.
The table posted above is the schedule for my employee. I need an input box which asks for a date. When the user supplies date, it should look for people who are scheduled for that particular date and who are on leave and put the result in the next worksheet at the last occupied row.
For instance, if I supply the date as 2nd Dec then the next worksheet should be filled with @ row # 2 (Row1 has headings)
EmployeeEmp IDSchedule A123409:00 PM - 06:00 AM B123511:30 PM - 08:30 AM C123602:30 AM - 11:30 AM E123811:30 PM - 08:30 AM G124009:00 PM - 06:00 AM
Then if I select 3rd Dec, the next worksheet should be filled with the following data starting fom row number 7 (just below the above data) A123409:00 PM - 06:00 AM B123511:30 PM - 08:30 AM D123705:30 AM - 03:00 PM G124009:00 PM - 06:00 AM
I am trying to make this macro look at multiple cells in column X and perform the given operation based on what is found. I currently have it set to look at one cell, I am not sure how to make it look at a range of cells and change its cell refrences for the copy function.

I have a USB scanner connected to a PC. Data is entered into Excel when the part number barcode on a box is scanned. I have two worksheets that I will be scanning part numbers into, one is Group A and the other is Group B. On Group A's sheet there is a list of Group B part numbers that will be used for the lookup procedure when the barcode is scanned. The same is true for Group B's sheet. The groups should never be mixed, so if part number "B005" is scanned into Group A's sheet it should cause an error message to pop up. I've attached a workbook as an example. Is it possible to do this with VBA?
Goal: To extract the barcode (numbers and letters between B/C: and , P/G) from the following string:
"Codec B/C: A01234567, P/G: 123456728912345" Current Function: =MID(A1,(FIND("B/C:",A1)+5),(FIND("P/G:",A1)-14))
Problem: I need this function to work for barcodes of varying lengths. For example, in some cases the barcode may be 8 characters long and at other times the barcode will be 14 characters long etc.Below is a screenshot of how I have this currently set up in excel.
how to create a barcode in an excel spreadsheet? I am trying to print out a sheet that includes a code 128 barcode of a specific number that I type in.
I am currently volunteering for a small organisation. I have spent the last week designing a userform to be used by other staff members in their office. However, when I asked the manager 'Do you have Microsoft Office?', I got a very firm and definite 'yes' in response.
It turns out they are using LibreOffice, which is a free alternative. I have also tried to get my userform to work with Open Office - but cannot seem to get either to work.
I have changed the settings in both suites of software to 'Load/Save Basic Code' and enabled macros to run via the security options.
My userform is not that complex. I have limited knowledge of VBA and zero experience using Basic, so have come up stuck.
I currently use an Excel program (with macros) that run weather forecast data. It is compatible with versions XP, 2003, 2007 and 2010. However, I am trying to figure out if I can run it on a Mac. My plan is to run windows on my Mac through Parellels or VMWare Fusion.
Here is a link to the Excel Program: TX Tornado Forecast Worksheet
I have a number of sheets that have sheet macros that are identical.... i am changing the sheet macro in 1 and want to see if there is an automatic way to distribute it to the other sheets automatically.
I have an excel file saved as macro-enabled that is perfectly functional and can be opened on my computer (via Security Warning - Enable Macros). The file is saved on another computer, through which I am accessing by a network.
This other computer is unable to run the macros, and when we open the file in excel there is no security warning that pops up (like there is on my computer). I have gone to the Excel Options and entered the trust center settings, and finally the Macro Settings. It is set at Disable all macros with notification. (same for both computers... but on one of the computers there is no security warning that pops up)
We tried enabling all macros (temporarily) and tried re-opening the file and running a macro. We got an error message saying that macros were not enabled.
We also made the file a trusted location and saw no changes.
I am struggling to get a macro code for zooming in and out the shapes. I have a macro which fulfill half of my requirement. By assigning the below macro to the shape I am able to increase the current size to double by clicking on the shape however I need the same macro should retain the original size upon second click.
Here is my code to increase the size.
[Code] .....
"The requirement: Once after assigning the macro, on first click it should double the shape size and on second click it should retain the original size."
I am new to excel macros and writing automation code....I work for a company that sells special permits and so far i have written a macro to bring up a pop up box when a permit has expired but i also want to be alerted by email, how can I do this, also is there anyway to stop the macro from running once it finds all of the expired permits?

I have attached the file to this post : Book1.xlsm
Setup: I have a ppt presentation with several MS excel worksheet objects embedded.
Goal: I am trying to write a macro in ppt which opens an embedded object, then once it is open applies an existing excel macro that is in my personal excel book.
The code from ppt "record a macro" stops at ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("Object 8").Select ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.OLEFormat.DoVerb Index:=1
How can i let it know that the active window is an excel sheet? and if i get there, can i run a macro once in?
I am relatively new to macros and trying to understand how to modify a certain macro that I recorded. Here is what I'm trying to do...every month I have a file with a bunch of data. I need to take that file, filter it, and pull certain data from it into separate tabs within the same workbook. The number of rows of data will change from month to month however I'd like to have a macro that will capture however many lines of data. I have several rows/columns of info I need to copy between tabs but I recorded a macro with just one filter and one row of data for now just to try and understand what I need to do. I have copied it below.

I have a macro to collate data from multiple workbooks to a single sheet. The folder path to the source files can be chosen thorugh the macro. It runs perfectly in my system running on Windows XP. But it doesnt run on Wondows 7 system. Both are using MS Excel 2010. In Windows 7 system, while choosing the folder path where source files are located, it says "No items match your search" (screenshot attached). I would want the macro modified so that it runs on any platform. The macros that I'm using is given below:
I have an excel sheet with 25,000+ emails in column A with hyperlinked emails addresses, Column B has different Subject lines based on the category the clients belongs to but on the same sheet, Column C has the following hyperlink :
=HYPERLINK("mailto:"&A2&"?subject="&B2,"Email")
To create a hyperlink of the email address with the desired subject line.
macros that i could use to open about 25/50 outlook message with the email ids in column A of the sheet and the subject lines in column B.
I don't want the messages to be sent automatically but i want to have the option to change the body of the email if necessary.

I have written a piece of VBA code which I want to assign to a button in the front end of excel, however once I assign it and then press the button to run the macro (which works) I am not able to then press it again incase I need to re run it?
I have a 'dashboard' worksheet in 2010 and want to be able to click on a cell in this sheet and have it take me to the assigned worksheet. They are all in the same workbook. e.g if i click on Leadership i want it to take me to the Leadership tab, Skills to take me to the Skills tab etc The 'dashboard' will be the only viewable sheet in the workbook until one of the items on the page has been clicked.
I have a very basic understanding of macros and I'm not sure if this would work or if i should use a formula instead?
I'm using Excel 2011 on a MacBook Pro. Here's my situation:
I'm running a monthly budget report that's got three spreadsheets within the workbook. Spreadsheet #1 is summary sheet with a few pivot tables. Spreadsheet #2 is the data sheet, where all of the information is entered, and is what feeds the pivot tables on Spreadsheet #1. Spreadsheet #3 is just a list page that populates the drop-down list on the second sheet.
As this is a monthly budget report, I'd like to find some way to archive the first spreadsheet (the summary sheet) every month. Ideally, I'd like to be able to create a macro-driven button that, when clicked, does the following actions:
1) Creates a new spreadsheet, with each click, named for the current month and year. 2) Archives the exact contents of Spreadsheet #1 by making an exact copy of its current contents, and places this copy into the newly created spreadsheet. 3) Clears the data from Spreadsheet #1 AND Spreadsheet #2.
To summarize, I'm trying to use a button that, when clicked, runs a macro that archives the current month's data into a new spreadsheet, and then clears the data from Sheets #1 and #2 so that I can start each month with a clean slate. If there's a way to only clear the data from certain cell ranges (as opposed to a complete wipe of the sheet), that would be even better.
I developed a tool in Excel 2010 using macros and launched it to a group of dozens of users. Turns out one of them uses a mac and says it is incompatible. I have never used Excel for Mac or tested my tool in it. Next I plan to test it on a mac but how to make this work?
How/ where to save macros. If I save a macro "normally" ("in this workbook") then it only applies to that one file, right? And I can't use it in any new files.
So what do I do if I want a macro I can use in "all" my Excel files?
And can I email a file containing a macro to a colleague, so he can work on the file, using the macro too?
I ask, because I've had trouble with this in the past (tho in MS Word) where I couldn't get the macro to be emailed along with the file...
Also - how can I get an .xls file with a macro to work in newer versions of Excel? And can I use Excel 2010 to save a file with a macro in an .xls format, so it can be opened in older Excel versions too?
