I have some code that opens several different spreadsheets, copies data and pastes it to the main sheet (that contains the code)
I have added the Application.screenupdating = False line of code, but it still does not seem to freeze the screen.
Is there a way to disable updating to the screen but have a message displayed to the user while a macro is running? Something like a userform displayed on the screen or a message in the status bar. I vaguley remember you could "print" message to the status bar in LotusScript, wondering if there is something similar in Excel.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
"the macro is running, hang tight"
...macro code in here...
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
I have a personal.xls macro that basically does a comparison of two different workbooks. One of these workbooks ihas it's own macros (which are there in case the user wants to run them separately)...anyways my main macro calls these other macros one at a time.
It seems that at each call, the screen updates, alternating sheets and/or workbooks....
I know about the Application.Screenupdating=True / False statements....but I am not sure where I should be putting them to get the whole thing to work seamlessly.... I tried them at the start and end of my main macro, but that doesn't do the job.
i have a code (Below) using icolor that changes the colour of the cell depending on critiria, the problem i have is when i input into the sheet using a drop down box the color remains the same, without a drop down box it works but i really need to to work with the drop down boxes,
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that opens many excel documents. I used the application.screenupdating to turn off viewing these excel documents opening unfortunately they are still viewable. I counted the number of trues and falses in the module and there are 4. I believe the 2 pairs are unrelated. I keep both subs in the same module since they share functions.
Code:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'turbospeed
Debug.Print Application.ScreenUpdating 'shows true in break mode
The following short macro moves data into an area from where a series of graphs can either be displayed on the screen or printed. It may not be the most elegant of code and the way in which I "jump" around the hard copy option may raise some eyebrows, however except for what follows, it generally works.
When the "S"creen option is taken only the first graph is displayed, subsequent ones are not shown, (the screen does not refresh). What do I need to add to the coding to ensure each graph is shown? .....
I am using this macro to open a selected folder and apply a macro to all the file in the folder. However, I don't want the user to see what is the loaded file doing. I mean, all the selected file will be formatted by the calling macro in minimize way.

Sub Sheet1Print()
Windows("RS1.xls").Activate
Workbooks.Open Filename:=ActiveWorkbook.Path & "" & "Sheet 1.xls"
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Windows("Sheet 1.xls").Activate
ActiveWindow.Close
End Sub
I still however get a promt asking me if I want to update, and a message if i want to save the changes when I close
How do I turn of these alerts.
I have now seen a few codes, both from my instructor and on the web that is using code like this;
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
...... CODE HERE .....
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Would there be any reason to this madness. Can't see why you wouldn't set it back to true and absolutly no reason to double false it?
I'm on a BTEC in college and my tutor wants me to create 3 spreadsheets, one of them is a Master spreadsheet which shows each pupils grade for each module, their over all end year grade and how many UCAS points that grade will earn them. The other two sheets are for the modules which will have the grades of the pupils in that lesson, Pass, Merit, Destinction or Fail. I hope you're still with me... I've attached an example of one of the 'Slave' spreadsheets as I call them.
My problem is that I can't seem to find a way of doing all this without constant nesting of COUNTIF. The code I have for my 'Unit1' spreadsheet's grade is:
"=IF(COUNTIF(B3:G3,"x")=6,IF(COUNTIF(H3:J3, "x")=3, IF(COUNTIF(K3:M3, "x")=3, "Distinction", "Merit"), "Pass"), "Fail")"
It works, but it's very messy. If this sounds confusing I apologise, the attached documents should clear some of the confusion up. Once the smaller spreadsheets work, the Master needs to use them to update it's cells. If someone has a Merit grade in 'Unit 1', the Master needs to show it too by somehow linking the 'Grade' cell from 'Unit1' to the 'Grade' cell in the Master spreadsheet.
I need a method of updating a set of data held on tab1 from tab2 where details of one record is shown using VLOOKUP, possibly via a macro? For example:
Sheet 1 holds info on various companies - (Column headers: Name, address1,
address2, postcode, " DATE LETTER SENT")
Sheet 2 Uses a drop down menu to select the desired company and some VLOOKUP
formulas show the info from sheet1 on that one particular company. Sheet 3 There is a printable standard template letter which draws info from the record selected on sheet 2 (using standard =Sheet1!A1 formula) formated so the letter is addressed to the specific company selected. Back to: Sheet 2 - At the bottom there is a button which says 'Print' This runs a macro which selects sheet3, prints it then returns to sheet2. I need this macro to also go back to sheet1 and update the relevant record with ideally todays date (the date the letter was printed) in the "DATE
LETTER SENT" column mentioned before but can just be an 'X' to show a letter
has been printed for this company/record at some point. So in the future, by looking at sheet1 you can easil determine which companys have had letters printed against, and which havn't.
i was wondering if there is a way to display a pop up message that a stating that the spreadsheet is currently updating.
What i have is a macro running on Auto_Open when workbook is opened. I have switch off the screen updating. What i want now is for maybe to have a pop up stating the spreadsheet is updating. Setting screen updating to false means that my excel freezes for a few seconds. I think users might be thinking that excel has crashed and therefore would like to include the message that the spreadsheet is updating its information.

I cannot solve problem 1, thus I tried workarounds, however there are also problems with them (problem 2, problem 3). I do not use .activate or .select in my code. I have recreated the problem in sample workbook.
Problem 1:
I get a blink when I call another sub from Worksheet_SelectionChange event.
Event is located in Sheet module, CellChange procedure - in seperate module

I'm just looking to prevent users from using the print screen or the alt print screen buttons on the keyboard. I have this script that works if I use "39" (Right Arrow)but wont work if I use "42" (Print Screen Button).

Excel 2003 is now so far up on the laptop screen, I cannot move it. I can barely see File, Edit, View, etc. How can I drag Excel down so I can resize it?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a large workbook with about 20 worksheets that I have used for several years without problems. Recently, I have been getting strange behavior when the screen refreshes. The biggest problem is that I get images of other worksheets covering my current worksheet when I change a cell. I can make them go away by scrolling or flipping between another worksheet and back. I have tried using manual recalc and this has helped somewhat but I can still get the images sometimes. The workbook contains VBA that performs various tasks on every worksheet (unlock, update pivots...) but these have been in there forever. There is also one piece of code that performs advanced filtering. I can only think there was something changed with a security patch, but I wanted to know if anyone else has had this issue and might be able to provide some advice on how to prevent it.

I want to do....is...a macro or something....to be like "Hey...were going to match up column information based on the first column, there exists both the same data in both sheets....as you can see in A3 and A2, now, I want to be able to add the information that is in book1, into the "DBL approved", so like...the 2nd row, I want columns B-G to be filled via book 2 because its saying,
"okay, A3 in DBL has the data 00-120-01, but there exists no data next columns over...but oh look, A2 in Book1 does, let's fill in that missing information!" so now it'll fill in the bullet points, brand, segment, etc."
I am working with excel2003. I have to different workbooks in which on is a Bill of lading that is used to show the items being shipped. The other workbook has a list of the items that we ship.
On the BOL I want to be able to type in the "L" number (or I.D. number) in D14, D19, D24, D29. By typing in the L-number I want it to automatically bring up the product name into cells E14, E19, E24 and E29. With the exact name of the item it will help prevent employee error. I want it to also bring over the exact weight over from the flavor list in cell range C5:C28.
I have the FlavorCodes range with all the L-numbers on the BOL in cell range U9:U48. I thought I had it set up correctly but when I select the L-number in the drop down list in cells E14, E19, E24 and E29 I get error code #NA. I thought I defined the cell range but it is still not working.
The workbooks are attached below.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have two spreadsheets, The spreadsheet #1 has the information of two years and the Spreadsheet #2 is a montly report. The Spreadsheet # 1 hasta on the column A a number of transaction, and at the column Q the invoice number. The Spreadsheet # 2, only has in the column A the Invoice number. I need to find in the Spreadsheet # 1 the Invoice numbers that match the Invoices that I have in the Spreadsheet # 2 by bringin the "Number of Transaction".
For example:
Spreadsheet 1:
Has on column A3 the Number of Transaction # 0123, and at the column Q3 the Invoice number 555. At the Spreadsheet number # 2 I have the INvoice # 555 located on A10. I need to know what is the transaction # by adding a formula in a new column (G) so I want to have the Transaction # 0123 in the new column added G.

I have two spreadsheets (lets call them Spreadsheet A and Spreadsheet B). Spreadsheet A is a list of all my customers and Spreadsheet B is a list of potential leads which may or may not include some which are already customers. Is there a formula I could include in an extra column to highlight which ones are customers already so that I can ensure I don't call them.
If it makes a difference the two spreadsheets are stored on seperate locations on my computer.
I have been handed 503 spreadsheets containing system data for multiple business units in my company. Each spreadsheet is identical in structure (same column headings) but just varies in the number of rows of data
I’ve now been asked to add (4) additional columns to each of the 503 spreadsheets. The (4) new columns are to be called:
“Class”
“OpCat Template ID”
“Agent”
“Last Occurrence”
And added in columns L, M, N, and O.
Is there a way to do this automatically instead of having to manually enter this data 503x?
