I have VBA code that hides and display columns. I have it coded in between Application.ScreenUpdating = False and Application.ScreenUpdating = True commands thinking that it will not show all the flashing and movement of columns.
View 9 RepliesI have written a number of macros, and I typically use Application.Screenupdating = False at the start, and set it True at the end of each macro. However, I now have some big macros which call others as subroutines. This results in the screen updating for each pass thru a called macro, as the Application.Screenupdating = True statement is executed. Is there a means to repress this at the top level, or is there a better approach to take in writing code which will stop screen update for a macro, but not restart it each time the macro is called as a subroutine?

I am using the following code in my Macro
Application.ScreenUpdating = False (I set it to "True" at the end of the sub)
But I can still see Excel changing tabs etc.
I think it may be somthing to do with the loop?
The macro is run off a toggle button which then selects a range of cells for the source data for my chart.
Sub ChartDynamic()
Dim x As Integer
Dim r1, r2 As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'H30 is the Period number
x = Range("H30").Value
Range("W:W").Select
Selection.Find(What:=x, After:=ActiveCell, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=True).Activate........................
I am using the following code to turn off the screen updating during code execution
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Is there anything that would still show the screen updating desptite being set to 'False'?
I have a form that i am using that I would like to update at certain points in the code. I have the screenupdating set to false but it seems that this is keeping the userform from refreshing as well. Is there a way to refresh the userform without turning the screenupdating back on (because the user cannot see what is happening behind the scenes.
View 7 Replies View Relatedi have written so code that opens a spreadsheet and runs some macro from the new speadsheet and copys info over to the other spreed sheet i have Application.ScreenUpdating = FALSE at the begininnig and turn it back on at the end but it still making the screen show everything can anyone help.
Sub save()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
ChDir "P:OFFICERiskOPTIONSOptions Control FunctionRisk Analysis"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"P:OFFICERiskOPTIONSOptions Control FunctionRisk Analysis emplate euribor risk module.xls"
Windows("Euribor risk module.xls").Activate........
For some reason Application.ScreenUpdating = False has stopped working for me.
For testing purposes, I have freshly opened Excel (2003 SP3) and into the brand new workbook, added the following macro:
*****************
Sub Test()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = 1 To 40
ActiveCell = i
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Next i
End Sub
*****************
When I run this macro, I see the individual values being written on the screen.
Stepping through the code and using Watch, I can see that Screenupdating is set to False by the first line, but as soon as the Activecell is changed, Screenupdating is reset to True.
If I turn events off by adding Application.EnableEvents = false to the start of the macro, all works as expected, however I do not want to use this "workaround" as I use event driven macros.
I've got a listbox which populates a second listbox from cells on a hidden worksheet which is done through macros. Every time I select a value in the listbox, the screen " flickers" to the hidden worksheet. I want to be able to do the whole process without that "flickering". I tried using Application.ScreenUpdating = False, but it still flickers. Have I overlooked something?
Sub GetStaffteamQuery()
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Dim sConnParams, sSQL As String
Dim dbFile, dbPath, dbName As String
ThisWorkbook.Activate
Sheet3.Select
dbFile = "CounsellorData.mdb"
dbName = "CounsellorData"
dbPath = Sheet3.Range("databaselocation").Value
selectedgroup = Sheet3.ListBox1.Value
If VBA.Right(dbPath, 1) <> "" Then
' if last char in dbPath has no slash.................
If I'm starting in Sub #1 and I have turned screenupdating off, then later in the procedure I call a function that also has screenupdating off (and also back on at the end of the function), will I get a slight flicker here? I'm noticing a slight one, and I can only imagine that it's where the screenupdating is being triggered again. (removing the updating from the function isn't an option, because another procedure calls the same function & needs it turned off)
View 2 Replies View Relatedtrying to copy both the values and the format of a certain range from one worksheet to another I am faced with two problems:
a) how can I copy something without having to previously add ".select"? (in the end I want to avoid any screen flickering)
b) how can I copy both the values and the format in one line (currently I have to use two lines)
Current problem:
Below you can find a code snippet which is repitetiously launched in order to copy data(+format) from many sheets to one sheet, there is other code as well (not shown here), which is launched in between (dealing with charts and pictures). In order to avoid some screen flickering I have already included the "screenupdating=false" line, and I would like to drop the usage of any ".select" in my code, as any ".select" seems to update the screen irrespectively of "application.screenupdating=false" or not.
However, as soon as I erase any ".select" command, I get a runtime-error 1004 at the SECOND run of this code snippet here. The only way to circumvent this seems to include ".select" prior to the line causing the error. Why at the second run? Well, I think, it is because after the second run, the focus might remain with a chart and not anylonger at any cell. Is there any way executing the below code without the screen-flickering?
Sub copySample(ByVal M As Integer)
Dim wksTarget As worksheet, wksNow As Worksheet
Const maxRowsConsidered=1000
Set wksTarget=Worksheets("target")
Set wksNow=Worksheets(M)
columnNow = ((m-1)*8)+1
Application.ScreenUpdating =False
The following code is part of a much larger module. In the code I've set application.
screenupdating to false; however, it resets itself within 2 lines of unrelated code.
The first message box returns "Screen Updating = False", the second returns "Screen Updating = True". I have a suspicion that this is related to the Cube Analysis Add-in
I recently installed (Excel Add-in for Analysis Services).
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
MsgBox ("Screen Updating = " & Application.ScreenUpdating)
Application.StatusBar = ("Setting up report... Finding you selection...")
'get the user selected text and the column in which it can be found
lookupVal = Sheets("Sales Leads").TreeView1.SelectedItem.Text
lookupCol = Mid(Sheets("Sales Leads").TreeView1.SelectedItem.Key, 3, 1) 'the nodekeys are always "NK" & <column> & <count of nodes> so the third value in the key is the column.
MsgBox ("Screen Updating = " & Application.ScreenUpdating)
I am trying to run a macro in the background. I have added the Application.ScreenUpdating = False (and True at the end) to my code but no luck.
View 9 Replies View RelatedA little context:
Searching this forum for "sleep", "delay" or "animation" will bring up a host of threads referring to the kernel32 function, sleep. This is a great way of putting small delays into code without the potential "synchronisation" problems of application .ontime calls or the "ugliness" of multiple-thousands looping.
My question:
When I call sleep (with values in the hundreds of milliseconds) several times in a macro, it seems like the computer just "gives up" screen updating after a few (maybe 50) iterations. The macro still takes the time I'd expect, accounting for all the sleeps, but it stops showing the intermediate steps and just shows the end result after the macro ends.
Is this something to do with RAM? Is there something about calling this command too much or too frequently that kernel32 doesn't like? Is my computer a useless bag of nails and spit?
Is it possible that when you press a command button, that the first thing it does is to execute the code assigned to another command button (IE in another sub).

I can't for the life of me get it apply a second command (such as getting the file size of each file)..

I have this simple formula: =IF(SEARCH("ABC",BQ239,1)>0,"Found", "Not Found")

I have a command button on the first sheet of my workbook that opens a Userform. The following stages are simplified so as to not confuse the problem I am having. The user enters a word into a Text Box in the Userform, and when they click OK (Command Button), the second sheet of the same workbook activates, and the macro finds the word from a list in Column A. It then makes that cell the Activecell and then activates the first sheet again before closing.
The problem is that I would like all that to happen with Screen Updating turned off, so the user doesn't see the sheets change. For some reason, I can't get it to work. From my research, I have read that Screen Updating should not be turned off until after the Userform opens, or if you move the Userform around the page it will work as an eraser. So I presumed I had to add to the Search Button
Private Sub SearchButton_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
'\The rest of the code follows here
so that when you click the Search Button the first thing it does is turn off Screen Updating. But for some reason this doesn't work.
I also tried adding the code into the sub that calls the Userform:
Sub OpenUserform()
UserForm1.Show vbModeless
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
End Sub
Is there any way to tell (from VBA) what GUI command is currently in progress or what the last command used was?
On a wish list perhaps: Application.LastCommand and/or Application.CurrentCommand
Let's say I'm in the "Sheet_Change" event and want to know what caused the change. Was the event triggered by "Delete", "Paste", "Keystrokes" ...
AutoCAD VBA has "Begin_Command (CommandName as String)" and "End_Command (CommandName as String)" events which I find very useful. Basically I'd like to emulate that to the greatest extent possible.
Application.Caller does not seem to work for the stated purpose. I've been searching for a workaround by means of reading the "Undo Stack". Numerous articles written by experts state that the undo stack is not accessible from VBA.
I've considered reading the text from the "Undo" button's caption but it just seems like such a hack ... not that this whole idea isn't a hack
How can I return name of a command button on click? I want to create some sort buttons on a sheet I will use regularly to speed things up. I thought if I could call each sort button by the column letter the button sits in I can use this in a single sub for all buttons
e.g the button sitting in column A is called "A". when i click the button, it returns it's name to a variable which I can then use to sort column A. I know I could create a seperate routine for each button but I was just trying to think of something neater.
I have a userform with a button on it named But1. Is it possible to store But1 into a variable then activate the But1_Click action using a variable?
Dim strButname As String
strButname ="But1"
Now, how would you activate the But1_Click method using strButname variable. With listboxes you can use the Control(strListboxName) methodology?
This doesn't work, but gives you an idea of what I am trying to do.
Controls(strButname)_click
I have 2 worksheets. On the first worksheet, i enter a line of different information.
What i want the spreadsheet to do is copy and paste that info onto the 2nd worksheet - wil this require VB atall?
I have a large amount of data, of which i need to perfrom a command to show either true or false result.
H Column has a range of number from 1 through 260
L Column has different text entrys 'pen' pencil' 'tape' etc..
The aim of the formula is to show a true result
if the number in the H Column is larger than 30
if the text is equal to either pen or pencil
I am trying to get the OR command or something that may work in a similiar fashion to work on this particular formula.
=IF(ROWS($G$2:G2)<=$Z$32,SMALL(IF(DEALLIST[Sales1]=$E$9,ROW(DEALLIST[Deal'#])-ROW('DEALS 1.0'!$B$1)),ROWS($G$2:G2)),"")
In this formula I want to be able to see if DEALLIST[Sales1], OR EALLIST[Sales2] is equal to $E$9, if they are then I want the formula to continue. I have tried this but it returns every row in my table starting from row 1 through 1000.
=IF(ROWS($G$2:G2)<=$Z$32,SMALL(IF(OR(DEALLIST[Sales1]=$E$9,DEALLIST[Sales2]=$E$9),ROW(DEALLIST[Deal'#])-ROW('DEALS 1.0'!$B$1)),ROWS($G$2:G2)),"")
I have searched this topic but I came up with nothing regarding my exact situation.
I have 5 buttons on sheet 1. I want them to all direct me to another sheet in the same workbook. However, some buttons will contain more than one sheet.
Example: Button 1 will direct me to 4 different sheets. Is this possible?
Also, When I open the workbook, I see many sheets that I am working from but I do not want them to show up when I open the workbook. The only way to see these sheets is to click on the command buttons at the top of sheet 1.
I'm looking to have a doc where people time stamp their start and stop times. I have found that Control(apple) - Shift -semi colon works. The problem i'm having is that I want people to be able to use a command icon in their toolbars for this task as opposed to people have to use the keyboard. I can use a button with a macro but this is not possible as our excel corrupts when there are too many macro's
