Jul 1, 2008from the xlVBA help:
SelectionChange Event
Occurs when the selection changes on a worksheet.
Short and nice definition.
But when does a selection change?
Does the selection change when the selected range moves to another range?
Or does the selection change when its value changes?
Or both?
And how to deal with that?
Add Recurring Event To Excel Calendar Spreadsheet?
Mar 19, 2014I am creating an employee work register to record working days and hours both in the office and remotely. I am doing this using Excel, where one spreadsheet represents one month and each cell represents a day per person. I want to enter everyone's working hours for the first week of the first month and then use a formula or another feature to replicate that pattern across the entire month/year, i.e. add a recurring event.
At the moment, I have twelve worksheets in a workbook for each month and each worksheet looks like this:
DAY | DAY | DAY >> (all the way to the end of the month)
NAME
NAME
NAME
NAME

Changing A Selection On SelectionChange
Nov 11, 2008I have a reference sheet that the only cell that should be accessed is in col A
Rather than protecting the sheet I have made it so that what ever cell is selected it changes to select the cell in A
however if the selection is made using the col, header (ie clicking the C) it falls over.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(ActiveCell, Range("A6:A1000")) Is Nothing Then 'makes sure A isn't already selected
x = ActiveCell.End(xlToLeft).Cells.Count
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -x).Select
Else
If Selection.Cells.Count > 1 Then ' fixes the problem of selecting a range that starts with an A
ActiveCell.Select
End If
End If
End Sub

May 11, 2009I have code in my Worksheet_SelectionChange.
However it will not update until I physically click on any cell within the U33 to U38 range.
How do I tell Excel that I physically clicked on any of these cells? I have tried Activate..., blank and re-populate, select cell, select range... In VBA it does not think it is being clicked on.. it is just doing the code... when done I have to again manually/physically click on it.
Slows Down When The Range Is Expanded
May 2, 2008Is there a faster method than this code? it slows way down when the range is expanded b/c it loops through every cell.

VBA Slows Down And Breaks After Many Iterations
Feb 18, 2010I have a macro running in Word (and referencing Excel) that is meant to iterate 15,000 times. But, after 100 times, the process slows and stalls.
I have put in a few "DoEvents" and "ActiveDocument.UndoClear" in Word, and I set "Application.EnableEvents = False" in Excel. These settings got me up to 100 iterations (previously the program would stop after even fewer )
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I'm not sure what information you'd need to be informed about the problem, and I don't want to tell you too much! Do please ask if I'm not being clear.
Macro Gradually Uses Up All Of Memory And Slows Down?
Mar 24, 2013I have written this macro which I run about 1000 times in a loop. It runs solver and copies the results to a row in my spreadsheet so i end up with a sheet of solver results.
The problem is that every time it runs it eats up memory and slows down. I timed it and the first 100 runs take about 2 minutes and the last 100 takes about 15 minutes, the ram use increases by about 4gb in that time too.
As this is the first VBA code I have written and I have been learning as I go along, I assume its something I have done wrong in the code.
Sub run()

' run Macro
' run solver

Cell Formating Slows Down AutoFilter
Feb 26, 2005I have an AutoFilter list of 14,000 rows by 14 columns, and the cells have some specific formating: fill color, font,
protection status, wrap, etc....
There are an additional 7 columns of formulas to the left of the filtered range.
The strange thing is----
-WITH the formating, trying to Unfilter the list takes 2 min, via a manually activated Data>Filter>ShowAll OR via a macro run of 'ActiveSheet.ShowAllData' .
(In an attempt to optimize speed, the VBA macro sets calculation to manual before the 'ActiveSheet.ShowAllData' and screen updating set to false.)
-WITHOUT the cell formating (eg. by doing Edit>Clear>Formats), the ShowAll takes about 3 sec.
Does anyone have experience or an explanation for this?
Why should the Formating affect Filtering so much?
Options for improving speed of autofilter?
I don't know if, or why it would be a factor, but note that I am using Dynamic Named Range and VBA to expand/contract the formulas
and formating to size of the list/table. Although this is not done during the filtering use.
Here is the dynamic formating code
Sub DynFmt_List()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
With Application
.Calculation = xlManual
End With
I am wondering if some strange 'artifact' of manipulating the formating is becoming a factor?
Macro Slows System By Opening Many Windows
Jan 29, 2007I've been using the following bit of code to run a macro at the specified time:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Application .OnTime TimeValue("12:00:00"), "GetData"
End Sub
The GetData sub executes a shell script and then pulls data from the result. The problem is that the macro runs 140+ times, and so I get 140 windows popping up and the system practically stops. I can't figure out why this is happening, as there are no loops or any sort of repetition in the code. Any help is greatly appreciated as this problem occurs with more than just the one spreadsheet.
Hiding Unused Columns And Rows Slows Down Excel?
Mar 16, 2013I like the look of when only the used columns and rows are shown. I like to hide all unused columns and rows, and have the background and a minimalist spreadsheet.
HOWEVER, is it just me, or does Excel move a lot slower when thousands of rows and columns are hidden? Particularly, opening files seems to be slower. I'd love to delete them entirely from existence, so Excel only has a few rows and columns to work with, but that doesn't seem to be an option.
Worksheet Change Event :: (ByVal Target As Range) Event In Module After Creating A Sheet
Mar 27, 2009Is there a way to write a Worksheet_SelectionChange (ByVal Target As Range) event in module after creating a sheet in VBA? I constantly delete a sheet, then repopulate it with a new one that is empty, but I need to add some code that happens if they should change a particular cell. It worked when I ran it on a worksheet without refreshing, but as soon as I cleared and repopulated the sheet, it was gone. Is there a way to preserve this?

Aug 7, 2006I have the following code, which works perfectly:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim TotalDays As Integer
TotalDays = Range("C65536").End(xlUp).Row + 1
The code points to the next blank cell so the user can input a value. Each time the user enters a value I want to re-run the code so that the colour of the cell changes.
However I also want to perform various calculations on the sheet. However this means the sheet is being changed and so continually repeats my code.
How do I add the following, to my previous code?
Range("E8").Value = Cells(7, 6) * 2.5

View 4 Replies View RelatedMulti-Spreadsheet Formula Down To Populate The Other Cells In The Total Spreadsheet
Jan 4, 2010I have attached a document paralleling a document I am working on. The dollar amount in each spreadsheet represent sales. I have entered in values into the candy, soda, and chips spreadsheet. I have also linked values for candy into the total spreadsheet. My question is can I somehow type something or drag the formula down to populate the other cells in the total spreadsheet?
The idea I am thinking but which I don't know how to implement is to list all the items (as in column G) and list all of the relevant cells (e.g. B1 in the Candy spreadsheet) as in columns H and I (Note that all items will have the same cells but the cells will have different values...e.g. all three items have a cell B1 and B2 in their spreadsheet but these cells contain different values). I then try and fail to create a formula in cell B3 of the Total spreadsheet. I am trying to create a formula of the following nature:
='(Spreadsheet Name From Column G)'!(Cell Name From Columns H and I)
The Second half of the formula doesn't really concern me (i.e. the cell name from column H and I). However I am perplexed as to how to achieve the goal in the first parentheses above.
Select Data From Spreadsheet Column If Condition In 2nd Spreadsheet At Same Time Is Met
Aug 11, 2013I have two spreadsheets, one gives me the beginning and end of civil twilight as a measure of day vs. night. The spreadsheet has Date/Time in the first column, and the value 45 in the 2nd column when it is night. The second spreadsheet has also 2 columns with date/time and body temperatures of a squirrel. I want to get basic statistics (mean and standard deviation) of the squirrel's nocturnal body temperature, that is for times when it is night (value 45). The tricky part is that Date/Time of both spreadsheets are different. The procedure has to recognize that the date/time of body temperature lies between the beginning and end of the value 45 blocks of the first spreadsheet.

Spreadsheet That I Have A Lot Of Macros That Are Attached To A Customized Toolbar Saved In The Same Spreadsheet
Jun 26, 2008I have a spreadsheet that I have a lot of macros that are attached to a customized toolbar saved in the same spreadsheet. I saved this is a read-only file. When I open as read-only and run my macros (testing), I save it as another file. When I then open the "template" to do the same thing, the toolbar/buttons now reference the file I previously saved as something else. Help please? Is there a macro that would delete all macros before saving the file as something else?

View 9 Replies View RelatedCompare Before Spreadsheet Data To After Spreadsheet
Apr 2, 2014Wondering if there is an easy way to compare 2 spreadsheets that should have identical data on them? The first spreadsheet (Before) has the output data from 'before' a code fix was applied. The second spreadsheet (After) has the output data from 'after' a code fix was applied. The spreadsheets have 7 columns of data and almost 500 rows.
I've already copied the data from the source datasets provided by my IT folks into Notepad (.txt) files and then used Excel to open them as fixed width spreadsheets. I have 1 workbook with 1 spreadsheet with 'before' data. And, I have 1 workbook with 1 spreadsheet 'after' data. And, I have another workbook that contains both worksheets. So, I'm ready to go whenever I get hints of what to do next. :-)
I need to be able to show my client that we did not impact the data with the code fix that was applied. I want to be able to show my client contacts (business folks) an end result via Excel that confirms that I actually compared the 2 sheets and there were no differences. In other words....I can't just show them a formula with '0' as it end result (even tho that's basically what I'm trying to prove).
Importing Data From Spreadsheet To Spreadsheet
Apr 24, 2006I need to write a macro that will import data contained in another spreadsheet, but am unsure how to do this. I have several (about 15) spreadsheets that contain data. I need to import key bits of this data into one central spreadsheet that will be used for reporting purposes. I only need 2 cells worth (values) from each source spreadsheet, to be pasted into the destination spreadsheet, into designated cells.
The source spreadsheets are usually closed down and kept on a file server, which my PC has access to. Ideally I want to activate this macro with a control button - i.e. I press the button once and the macro goes off and collects/updates each field with the latest data stored in each of the source spreadsheets.
