Schedule Macros To Run While Workbook Is Closed
I'm trying to look at options for scheduling macros to run at a particular time. Ideally I would like to run one at 3:00 am during every week night. From what I've looked into, I can run the OnTime procedure and it could schedule this to run each night. Does anyone know if this is correct, and if there are any other options avaliable to me?
Also, does anyone know if this can run automatically if Excel is closed, or does Excel have to be open? Does the workbook have to be open?

Open A Workbook And Run 1 Of 4 Macros Based On 3 Cell Values
I'd like to automatically run 1 of 4 macros depending on some criteria. Every workbook created has, unfortunately, the same worksheet name, so that leaves the only differences between the 4 possible loaded workbooks in the cells area and even those can be similiar in many ways. But....I found some criteria to separate all 4 workbooks...Here they are... run macro 1 if this 1. Worksheet name says "Screen" 2. Cell H1 has the word "Lead" run macro 2 if this 1. Worksheet name says "Screen" 2. Cell B1 has the word "records" somewhere in the cell 3. Cell H1 has the word "Lead" run macro 3 if this 1. Worksheet name says "Screen" 2. Cell B1 has the word "records" somewhere in the cell 3. Cell N2 has the word "Delivered" run macro 4 if this 1. Worksheet name says "Screen" 2. Cell B1 has the word "records" somewhere in the cell 3. Cell N2 has the word "Bevel" I don't know if this can be done, but if so, that would be fantastic! I'm thinking that the macro would have to be "global" and in the user's personal workbook?

Schedule A Macro To Run
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.

Hiding Macros From The Run Macros List
Is there a way to hide a macro from the list where you choose which to run, but not in the VBA editor? The userbox I just created calls upon 2 different macros, and has a macro to bring up the userbox. I need a way to hide the macros in Module3 from selection, but keep the macros in Module4 available to choose to run.

Schedule Workbook Open Automatically
Is there anyway I can schedule an excel workbook to open up at a certain time; I have some code attached to the Workbook Open function; so when the workbook is opened the code will run; but I need the workbook to automatically open at say 17:00 everyday so the code can run.

Macros Really Slow The Another Macros Is Run
I have two macros. Macros 1 opens another excel file, counts the number of rows it has, inserts that number of rows into the master file and then copies the data over. Key code as follows (x3 for 3 worksheets)... For k = 1 To numrows Selection.EntireRow.Insert Next k Macros 2 'cleans' the appended data by systematically going through each row, checking if certain cells have data, and if not deletes the rows. Key code as follows (x3 for 3 worksheets)... For l = lastrow To 12 Step -1 If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("B" & l & ":C" & l)) = 0 Then Rows(l & ":" & l).Select Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp edelrows = edelrows + 1 End If Next l Here's the weirdness. macros 1 runs fairly quick the first time out (few seconds). Macros 2 takes about 2 minutes to run (which I'm fine with). However, when I run macros 1 AFTER running Macros 2, Macros 1 goes from taking a few seconds to a few minutes.

Changing Date/time To Run A 12 Hour Production Schedule, And Not 24 Hour
I have created a daily schedule which has a number of factory variables taken into consideration which determine the date and time a particular product should, barring any mechanical problems, come off the machine. (see attached spreadsheet). The date at the top will be editable by me only so that when I update the production quantities, the “date/time off” column automatically re-adjusts to the remaining quantities. The formulas are a little long winded, but I have left them that way whilst I try and develop it. I should be able to figure out how to condense them later. My problem is that the “date/time off” on the right works excellent, but over a 24 hr period. Ordinarily, we work a 12 hour day (6am to 6pm) with overlapping shifts to cover breaks, and 20 mins warm up at the start of the day for the machine, thus maximising a 12 hour day. Of course if demand exceeds the allotted time we put on overtime. Is it possible to specify that normal days are only 12 hours so that if a product exceeds 6pm, it flows into the next day with the balance starting at 6:20am? And, if the production for the week exceeds the time could I stipulate particular days which we deem are suitable for overtime? Ie, we decide Wednesday is a 14 hour day and not 12. I had toyed with the idea of creating a 365 day table/calendar, on another worksheet which would have its individual allocated hours in an adjacent column and somehow link them to the date/time off, perhaps by way of a VLOOKUP, but I have been chasing my tail trying to figure out how to implement it.

Run A Vba Code When Sheet Is Closed
I want to run vba code when a excel worksheet closes. But I want this code to be used for every worksheet that opens. So the macro or vba code has to be loaded with Excel automaticly. I don't want to reenter the code in every template I use. In access you can attach a module that runs when access or the application is closed: 'Private sub form_close()' Is it possible to create something like this in Excel. An explanation what I want to do: I Open/create a workbook from within access. When the worbook closes I want to look with vba if there is a cell called " Total" and if so I want to open a access databases and submit the total to the database. I don't want access to wait untill the worksheet is closed. If the worksheet stays open for a longer time I want to work on in access with other tasks.

Run Macro In Closed File At Same Time Each Day
i know there is information on this ontime method, i haev read through it, but since i am working with reuters running live in the background they just dont work. Anyway, on a normal excel sheet, I have made the automated macros run on a timer, which is great. BUT If someone switches off my pc, its not going to be so great because i dont think the macro would run without excel being open. QUESTION: How can i make my macro run every morning at 8am? Assuming the worksheet is closed, even excel is closed. i am sure the answer is starring me in the face, i am just getting boerd of looking at it! in the Thisworkbook: Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) Application.OnTime dTime, "thismodule", , False End Sub Private Sub Workbook_Open() Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("20:00:00"), "thismodule" End Sub and in the Module: Sub thismodule() dTime = Now + TimeValue("08:00:00") Application.OnTime dTime, "thismodule"

Copy From Closed Workbook Then Create New Workbook
I've got a problem with this code, have been wracking my brains about.

Pull Value From Closed Workbook Where Workbook Name Is In A Cell
I want to open an excel file whose name is a value in a spreadsheet, and then pull a value from the spreadsheet I queried into my existing workbook. Here is the syntax i have so far: to note: I'm calling the workbook in which the macro is located testproject.xls, and I'm using [integer].xls as my list of files that the macro will query. Ultimately, this code will go in a loop. Set currentCell = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1") varCellvalue = currentCell.value Workbooks.Open "path_of_file" & varCellvalue & ".xls" Windows("testproject.xls").Activate currentCell.Offset.(0,1).Select ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=[3.xls]Sheet1!R1C1" The problem is, I want [3.xls] to carry the sale value as varCellvalue with .xls appended, and not be kept static at 3. I tried inserting & varCellvalue & ".xls" into the brackets, but with no luck. My only difficulty is getting [3.xls] to vary along with varCellvalue.

"Run" Making Macros Run Twice And Stop
I used the "Call" command instead of "Run." Everything finally worked perfect!! Being new to VBA I do not know the reason behind the "Run" command being different and causing my problems. BUT "call" sure is the answer to my recent irritations. After I got the darn things to finally work, I decided to do the responsible thing and use Option Explicit, which helped me clean up my code tremendously!!

New To Macros - How Do I Create And Run One
I have an API that continuously gets stock price. The price appears in one cell at all times - let's call it A1 I want to record the value in a different cell every time it changes, so I can analyze the data. so A1 = 15 B1 = 15 little later A1 = 15.2 B2 = 15.2 I did some googling and came to a conclusion that I needed to write a macro. I see that there is a function or event called Worksheet_Calculate() Apparently it is supposed to do whatever when a value changes (per calculation) How do I write a macro, and then execute it?

Referring To Closed Workbook
I have the following formula to extract a specific cell from a closed workbook. It works fine. I want to be able to make the file name refer to a another cell so I can create a spinner to change it. For example: ='C:Documents and SettingsTom Desktoplabor[01_032407.xls]Stats'!A4 Cell A1 would be 01_032407, and I would replace [01_032407] with [A1] but it does not work.

Pull From Closed Workbook
I have a folder that contains hundreds of excel workbooks. Each workbook has 20 or more sheets. All workbooks have the same look and design. All workbooks have macros that they use to function and the macro I want cannot interfere with their macros. What I want to do is copy certain cell values (some numeric and some text) from several sheets from these workbooks and paste them into another workbook (a master workbook) that is essentially collecting these values into a table without having to open all these workbooks. For example, let’s say all of the workbooks are named with a numeric value starting with “one.xls” and that the sheets in these workbooks are named “a”, “b”, and so on. So, in the master workbook in cell “B2”, I want the name of the first workbook searched (“one.xls”); then in cell “C2”, I want the value from cell “J45” on sheet “b” of “one.xls”; in cell “D2”, the value from cell “B32” on sheet “b” of “one.xls”; in cell “E2”, the value from cell “K13” on sheet “e” of “one.xls”; in cell “F2”, the value from cell “R43” on sheet “k” of “one.xls”. The in cell “B3” of the master workbook, I want the same information as before except from “two.xls” instead of “one.xls”, and so on down to “three hundred.xls”.

Having Macros Run When The Date Is Changed
Is it possible to have a macro run when a date is changed each month instead of clicking on the button. I have a few macros that are ran each month in a spreadsheet (manually) but would I would like to have them run automatically when the date is changed in cell a4 each month (Cell A4 is linked to another spreadsheet tited "Input" here the date is changed each month and all of the other spreadsheets are automatically updated). The date in cell a4 is always the last day of the month. Also the name of the workbook changes each month ( I am not sure if this is important to know).

Run Macros In Scheduled Task
I'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.
