I have a worksheet that runs a query from an external data program. I have made a macro that refreshes the worksheet and this works ok. Is there a way I can get Scheduled tasks to automatically update this workbook eg overnight. I do not want to leave the workbook open either. Can task scheduler open the workbook, refresh the data, then close the workbook again.
View 9 RepliesI scheduled a task to open excel and when it does (at a certain time), a little sub is supposed to run (couple minutes later) via the OnTime Method located in the Workbook Open Event. There is one weird thing though....
1. When Excel opens automatically through Scheduled Task (and you see the clean white sheet WITH gridlines), Sub does NOT run (that is, my file is NOT even opening).
2. When I myself open Excel manually WITHOUT opening a new workbook (in other words, in front of you there will be grey area without gridlines), Sub runs perfectly (in other words, my file opens automatically and Sub performs whatever it is supposed to do).
Im having trouble with getting a macro to run at a specific time and day (Every Thursday at 7PM).
Here's what I have done so far..
1. I added my excel file to the task scheduler
2. created a class module and place the code below into it.
In testing the workbook opened but it asked if i wanted to enable or disable the macros - how do I get around this? And it does seem to kick off the macro (create_all).
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
If Hour(Now) = 1130 And Weekday(Now, vbMonday) < 7 Then
' TheNameOfYourCurrentProcedureHere
create_all
If Workbooks.Count = 1 Then
Me.Save
Application.Quit
Else
Me.Close True 'save the changes and close the workbook
End If
End If
End Sub
I'm trying to auto input names from my schedule into dailytasks for my servers. Sometimes the amount of servers on a specific day changes(i.e Mondays 3 to 5 servers and Friday - Sunday there is 4-6 servers on) and times could change also as of now it works with
=VLOOKUP("6:00",AC$25:AJ$46,8,FALSE)
Not sure how to set up lookup value and return the name
I have a button that runs a macro every 5 seconds.
I have another button to stop the loop.
Problem happens if a user hits the stop button when the sequence is not running - they get an error.
Here's my code for button 1 (start) and 2 (stop):
Code:
Sub Process_Emails_and_Backup_Auto()
Application.Run "Process_All_Emails_In_The_Inbox"
runtime1 = Now + TimeValue("00:00:05")
Application.OnTime runtime1, "Process_Emails_and_Backup_Auto"
End Sub
Sub StopProcessing()
Application.OnTime runtime1, "Process_Emails_and_Backup_Auto", , False
End Sub
Is there a way for button 2 - the StopProcessing macro - to run a test like If process is scheduled then run this code - if not then don't?
I have the following macro:
Sub ScheduleUpdate()
WaitHours = 0
WaitMin = 15
WaitSec = 0
NextTime = Now + TimeSerial(WaitHours, WaitMin, WaitSec)
Application.OnTime EarliestTime:=NextTime, Procedure:=LinkUpdates()
Application.Run
End Sub
Sub LinkUpdates()
Sheets("PRICING SHEET").Select
Sheets("PRICING SHEET").UpdateLink Name:="P:CommonPRICINGCOMPILATION.xls", Type:=
xlExcelLinks
End Sub
The code does not work at all, just the skeleton to have an idea. I also need help recreating an entirely new macro which preferably works well!
The idea is that everyday at 8:00AM this macro starts automatically updating the links every 15 mins (SHOULD NOT MATTER IF THE SHEET IS OPEN OR NOT). But here is the catch.
This code should be the code for a checkbox. So when the box is checked, or TRUE, the macro should run normally updating every 15 mins. But when the box is unchecked, the macro should stop (no update occurring).
I want this macro because this sheet is linked to several other sheets and it needs constant updating. However, if I need to make a change in the main sheet, no updates should be happening.
I want to put a value in a single cell - A1 is going to be (say) 5.
View 5 Replies View RelatedOver the weekend I had to look at 220 strings of numbers, some strings with as much as 20 numbers and determine if the numbers represented red, green, blue, or yellow and how many of each color from a parent list.
I did it all by hand. After getting help here from JBeaucaire on my tally sheet, which I successfully recreated with their guidance, I thought I might ask this question. How would one go about creating a macro that would when it seen a certain number, it would put the color in the column immediately to the left, and the number of colors in the column immediately to the left.
I am trying to schedule a macro to run at 11:45 pm every time. I use system scheduler to open the excel file and when I use this command to run the macro nothing happens. The workbook opens fine but the macro does not run. I only wants to run the macro once day even if I open the workbook during the day I do not want it to run.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have just been passed a new VBA project and there is one component I would like help with.
Column J lists a start date
Column K lists an end date
Column N lists a dollar amount.
Columns P through the last column has headers of month-year in text form(for example May-08)
The user enters contract information in the spreadsheet including the above cells. What they want to automate is once the user enters the contract information on a given row, she runs a macro to determine the billing schedule by calculating how many months there are between the start and end dates, divide the dollar amount in column N by that number and then prompt the user to enter what month the first payment is due, once that is entered, the macro should place the payment amount in that column and all applicable subsequent columns.
For example,
Column J = 6/1/2008
Column K = 9/1/2008
Column N = 3,000
The macro should calculate 3 months, the monthly payment amount is $1000.
A starting month prompt appears and the user enters July-08. The macro then places 1,000 in the columns for July-08, August-08 and September-08.
I have a script that collects data from a mySql database. Data in the database is moved with certain intervals to a bigger database (which takes longer time to run quaries against. So my thougt is to make to user able(in my excell apllication) able to schedule autorun of diffrent scripts. Do you guys know any way to schedule autorun?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a funtion that will help me add the hours someone is scheduled to work. The problem I am having is the format. Here's the format: The days of the week are Mon - Sun (D3-J3). L3 is a total of the hours they are scheduled to work for the week. Cell D3 is 8-2. Cell E3 is 9-3, etc. for the rest of the week. What I am looking to see if possible is in L3 take the row, Take D3 at 6 hours, E3 at 6 hours, etc for the rest of the row, and add them together for the total hours in L3. I have attached a small example file of what I'm trying to do. The format I am looking to use for the hours is as described above.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI've used Excel 2003 to write a macro to analyse some date from our internal proprietary database. I use some Perl to generate a bunch of csv files from the data, and the run the macro to generate graphs and statistics from that. What I would like to do now is run this entire operation as a scheduled task, so that, every week or so, the data is downloaded, the processing is done on the csv files, and the results are saved to a location to be viewed on our internal site.
I'm assuming that the best way to do this would be somehow run something from the command line (to be embedded in a script) which basically says "1) Open this csv file 2) run this macro 3) save the output to this location", but I can't figure out how this can be done.
I have attached a portion of a schedule I have been asked to update to show when more hours are scheduled for a time period than are available on the schedule.
Each Dept.(Man. and DCC) has 16 hours available per day, M-F.
How can I chart or show somehow when a conflict arises? I need to outsource the excess time to another facility in a timely fashion.

Is there any way to find out how many people are scheduled between certain time ranges.
For example : I have 5 people scheduled with various start and finish times ie.:
1. 10:00 to 15:00
2. 11:00 to 16:00
3. 08:00 to 14:00
4. 13:00 to 15:00
5. 12:00 to 16:00
Is there any way to analise this schedule in format:
08:00 till 9:00 1 scheduled
09:00 till 10:00 1 scheduled
10:00 till 11:00 2 scheduled
11:00 till 12:00 3 scheduled
12:00 till 13:00 4 scheduled
13:00 till 14:00 5 scheduled
14:00 till 15:00 4 scheduled
15:00 till 16:00 2 scheduled
16:00 till 17:00 0 scheduled
I have a set of data I need to count.
The data consists of 2 columns essentially, Scheduled Delivery Date and Actual Delivery Date.
If the Delivery was made on time or early, I want to count it. I will do a similar count for Late as well.
Additionally, the user can enter the Scheduled date range they want to count early/on time deliveries from. There all also blanks in the Actual Delivery date column where deliveries have not been made (no actual).
Cells O3:O38 contain the Actual dates
Cells N3:38 contain the Scheduled dates
Cell B3 contains the begin date to start the range.
Cell B4 contains the end date of the range.
I have tried using COUNTIFS and am having trouble getting the formula to work.
I tried:
=COUNTIFS(O3:O38,O3:38<=N3:38,N3:N38 ,>=$B$3,N3;N38<=$B$4)
I know this will not work but I hope it shows the logic I want.Count range O3:O38 where values in O3:O38 are less than or equal to the corresponding cell value in N3:N38, for a range of N3:N38 that is greater than or equal to the date in B3 and less than or equal to the date in B4.
I am trying to take scheduled start time and scheduled duration in h:mm and auto populate the scheduled minutes in the corresponding time blocks.

The first 3 columns are derived from a data table and I am trying to auto populate the minutes scheduled in the time blocks using conditional formatting or some other mechanism.
I'm using Excel 2010
I have searched and think I have found what I need to create Outlook tasks from my Excel spreadsheet. I'm hoping that someone here can help me pull it together into something that will be usable in my project tracking spreadhsheet...
I try to keep track of milestones... these milestones are listed in column B of my spreadsheet and are in rows 10 through about 105
For each of my customers I then keep 4 columns D, E, F, G - H, I, J, K - L,M,N,O - etc. Each group of 4 is a different customer....
The customer's first column (D, H, L, etc.) is a Due date of the Milestone that is found in column B.
The second column is a check box that I use to indicate when the milestone is complete
The 3rd column is the completion date
The last colum is just a filler space that helps to separate each customer.
What I would like to do is insert a button at the bottom of EACH grouping of 4 that when pressed would look at the first column for the customer group and for ANY Milestone that has a DUE date process the stuff in the VB below to create an OUTLOOK task for each item that has a DUE date. (It would be conceivable that as it stepped through each row for a customer group of columns that I could have it create 90+ Tasks in Outlook.
A couple of additional things... in row 110 for the first column of the customer I have a DATE or a blank. So for example in D110 it might be blank or a date like 10/29/2007. If it is blank then when I press the button it would loop through ADD the tasks for each row with a due date. If row 110 has a DATE I would get a popup indicating that the tasks are already in OUTLOOK and that they were added on whatever the date is in row 110... This is kind of the safeguard that I don't get the same group of tasks multiple times by pressing the button by mistake.
I want to use excel to update the tasks in outlook. All I have is a due date (from A2) and a task (from B2) Here is the code I have got so far
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet where I calculate the duration it takes for an operation. the format of the worksheet is as folows:
The worksheet is composed of Start and Finish times in this format: 2009/06/02 5:32:19 , so for example,
- Row1 of the worksheet will have "Start" in column H1 and the start time in column B1
- Row 2 of the worksheet directly below has the "Finish" time, with the Finish time information in column B2
So with the help of excelforums I was able to implement a macro to extract the finish time cell found in row B2 and offset it to C1 and do a simple calculation to get the duration in minutes and display it in column D of the same row as "Start".
I have 10 columns (1 through 10) called TASKS and 2 rows for each task
Row 1, has a 'start date' in the form of 1/1/2010
Row 2, is duration
the duration of each task may or may not overlap with other durations of other tasks.
how can i find out the total duration of ALL my tasks.....without any overlaping.
any formula that can calculate this? ( i need one number at the end!)
I'm working on a project that will will have varying tasks & estimating the total duration to complete these tasks.
For example:
If estimating that the min-project will take 90 days & I have 17 tasks, how can I distribute the 90 days evenly amongst the 17 tasks?
I have a project network spreadsheet shown below and in column BT I need to identify each non-critical path task (value in column BS is "N") that has a critical path task (value in column BS is "Y") as one of it's immediate predecessors.
Predecessor tasks are listed with commas separating them in column G. They are also separated out into columns H through Q for another function in the spreadsheet.
Note: Task ID's can be numeric or text
*BGBSBT11Task IDPreceding Tasks * * * * * *(comma seperated)CP?
*12Start*Y*13aStartY*14baY*15dbY*16ebNX17cbNX18fcN*19g*N*20h*N*21ihN*22je,d,i,g,fY*23kjY*24Finishk**250***
it seems to be possible to integrate to some extent with the Outlook Tasks function....
Is it possible however to 'update' a given task, and have it linked somehow to my workbook project? (Maybe using some sort of reference?)
I was given the following formula by Domenic some time ago that I use along with VBA code supplied by Fin Fan Foom to open do a lookup on a closed workbook:
=If(ISNUMBER(MATCH(MIN(If( Date=D2,If(ABS(Time-E2)<"0:30:30"+0,ABS(Time-E2)))),If(Date=D2,ABS(Time-E2)),0)),INDEX(Contact,MATCH(MIN(If(Date=D2,If(ABS(Time-E2)<"0:30:30"+0,ABS(Time-E2)))),If(Date=D2,ABS(Time-E2)),0)),"")
Everything works fine, until I attempt to…
- cut & paste a block of cells, or
- do a SaveAs, or
- change a worksheet name
The formula will no longer function after performing any of these tasks (the cells go blank), and I have to close the workbook without saving to preserve the original workbook functionality. All other tasks, including even importing of different files into the workbook have NO negative effect.
The formula uses an “INDIRECT” named range. Sheet name changes are reflected in the named ranges, but any change of names somehow causes a malfunction (no sheet names are referenced in the VBA).
I thought that the large lookup workbook (40,000 rows) may be a problem, but even after deleting most of the data and retaining only a few rows, the problem still remained.
After the formula cuts out (after performing the above tasks), if I open up the lookup file, then the lookup will work again, but if I close the lookup file, it will stop working.
I doubt the problem is in the VBA code since IT WORKS, and besides, I have other simple VLookups formulas that also uses the same process (and VBA code) and they continue to work just fine when that one formula gives out. The only thing I can think of is that the complexity of that one formula may be an issue.
Anyway, I the original thread is long, so I’m starting a new one here. The original thread is here (Domenic’s formula, pg 7; FFF’s code, pg 8):
Dedicated Cell To Choose Lookup Table

X5 2
X6 3
X7 4
X8 5
X9 6

So far, I've created a table where a "time" input is nested beside each "task" drop down menu, I would like these inputs to be added up underneath the same category on the budget tab.
For example: If I work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday doing tiling.. I would like the budget to reflect those accumulated hours (throughout the week) nested under "tiling".
