I'm trying to use the SendKeys function to copy data from a range using a button.
I realise this is not the most elegant of ways to acheive the result, but there are a number of factors involved.
The range is laced with code.
copying data from one sheet to another if it meets a certain criteria. I have a long aged debtors report that has several different cost centres and I want to split it out on to separate tabs for each centre. I want a function or marco that will go to row 1 and check if it equals the cost centre name on the other tab in a cell and then copy it and paste it in that tab, if not then it moves down to the next and the next until it gets one that does equal it and then copies it again.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a range of weekly data that I need to copy into another workbook, paste it below the data that already exists there and then delete the data from the original workbook. I would love to do this with vba but after hours of searching on how to do this my brain is frazzled.
I have 50 workbooks that I need to import weekly into one master sheet (Master.xlsm) but they need to be done individually after the weekly data has been checked. The master sheet will therefore have existing data and the new data needs to be appended at the bottom. Also column A will be blank in both workbooks so to find the last used row it will need to look in column B.
The number of rows in the weekly sheet will also vary rather than be a fixed range so I guess the last used row will also need to be found there too.
The attached file is a cut down version of my working file showing where the data starts on Row 14, I won't need to copy the headings.
Example file 21.03.xlsmā€ˇ
I am having some 100 excel files in a folder. I need to copy specific values in those files to another new excel file. The file names are like file_0.xls,file_1.xls.....etc and the range to paste those values are like B1, B51,B101...etc...
I got the code for one file. Now i need to increment the final name and pasting range.
I am trying to do the following with VBA.
What i need is to find out the last cell with data and then selecting the whole range and copying it.
Please see the below.
As you can see, the column with the "longest" data range is B9,C9,D9,E9.
I need a VBA code to detect which Column has the longest Data and from there copy the entire range.
Hence, in this case, the range to be copied is From A2:J9.
Column A
Column B
Column C
Column D
Column E
Column F
Column G
Column H
Column I
Column J
1

ttt
rrr
m
vvv
gg

I have a user that uses pivot tables and charts every month to do a report. He wants to copy his charts every month and then just change the month in the data for the pivot table, but not matter what he tries its tied to the previous month and then chart data range in the select data source properties is grayed out. how to get this to work?
View 3 Replies View Relatedi have 2 columns of number of cars using various roads, taken in the last 30 days. A macro has processed the data in these ranges and changed the outlier values to "Bad" so the formula ignores them.
However in the columns A and C , there are dates that the counts were taken on.
{=IFERROR(CORREL(IF(B4:B33"Bad";IF(D4:D33"Bad";B4:B33)));IF(B4:B33"Bad";IF(D4:D33"Bad";D4:D33)));"0")}
sometimes these dates aren't the same (no data available on christmas in some areas, boxing day in others etc. Obviously this destroys the correlation, as it puts the days out of synchronisation and the correlation falls apart.
Is there any way i can adapt the formula for it to check the dates are the same before correlating? It'd almost be like a vlookup, find the date, if match, add to calculation, if not then go to the next date. i'm happy for it to only correlate 26 of the 30 days if there are that many conflicts.
example for last 6 days performed on the 28th of december (looking for 6 calendar days up to but not including 28th dec.
22/12/2012 9 22/12/2012 Bad 23/12/2012 10 23/12/2012 22 24/12/2012 3 24/12/2012 21 25/12/2012 7 26/12/2012 18 26/12/2012 8 27/12/2012 15 27/12/2012 15 These 2 cells would be blank and this column would only contain values for 5 days.it could only correlate the 3 days of 23, 24 and 27.
Given that i'm going to be correlating this information with a number of locations, each with different reporting dates, filtering the dates before correlating and deleting unmatched dates is not a great option, but I will consider it if there is no other way.
this is the code i'm using but sometimes it runs sometimes it runs incorrectly; i've been told that sendkeys is not a good choice and i should use API but i'm just studying VB6 and i do not know what is API; so i need a code to copy and paste in a module this is the code with sendkeys that i need insterad with API

I do not have any code for this as I am unsure if it is possible. I have a list of range names in a column (A) that refer to different sheets and in an adjacent column (B) I have a list of data. Is it possible to write VBA code that will allow me to copy each value in column B to the corresponding cell in the workbook that relates to the range name in column A.

Since I don’t want my macro operation to end with that menu covering part of my screen, I have the macro ‘type’ in ESCAPE, through one of these lines:
A theoretical question following an empiric result.
For the command “SendKeys”, for instance, take these two lines:
I'm trying to access one of my custom menus through a macro.
The keyboard commands are
alt, n, f
and
alt, n, g
I have these lines of
Range("A31").Select
SendKeys "%nf", True
SendKeys "%ng", True
All this seems to do is put the letters f and g in cell A31!
I am trying to use a macro to automate the use of alt key.
my code looks like this-->
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
For i = 0 To 10
Range("A" & i).Value = ActiveSheet.SendKeys("%" & i)
Next i
End Sub
This code is to enter the value of ALT+1...ALT+10 to column A
I am using SendKeys in a VBA script to activiate 2 Add-In functions when a worksheet is activated. The code I am using is:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Application.SendKeys "%GR"
Application.SendKeys "%GH"
End Sub
Whilst this code works fine as is I would like to provide the user with some progress information either with a message box or via the status bar. The first command refreshes data from an external source and the second hides unwanted rows and columns. I do not have access to modify these add-in functions.
I have tried:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Application.StatusBar = "Refreshing data in progress ..."
Application.SendKeys "%GR"
Application.StatusBar = "Hiding rows and columns in progress ..."
Application.SendKeys "%GH"
Application.StatusBar = False
End Sub
However, the system does not wait for the sendkeys commands to complete before changing the status bar message so it flashes them on and can hardly be seen
I would also like to turn screen refresh off to speed up the process time however the Application. ScreenUpdating function appears to be ignored.
Ive put together some code that sendkey values to another app. I'm having trouble now looping throught a worksheet and sending the keys of each cell.
For example ill used range a1:c4 I like to have a loop that moves to a1 and takes the value and sendkeys then b1 sendkey value.
I have a small problem using the ‘sumproduct function’ which I am using it to calculate the area under curves using the following equation (=SUMPRODUCT((B10:B109-B9:B108)*(D10:D109+D9:D108))*0.5). However I have hundreds of curves to calculate the area under and the length of the data series for each curve is different, I am currently changing the length of the data series by hand. I have attached an example worksheet of 2 sets of data (the formula I am using at the moment is highlighted in blue – row 203). Is there are function or formula that I can use inside this equation to change the range of the formula depending on the length of the data series?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to emulate hitting the Alt+Ctrl+"Print Screen" button on the keyboard with the following code. I know there are some restrictions around using the PrintScreen with the SendKeys, but I'm hoping I can still figure out how to make this work.
Following is the first part of a larger macro I've set up. If I can just get this to work, that would be perfect.
Sub PrintTheScreen()
Application.SendKeys "^%" & "PRTSC"

SendKeys "^F"

Yesterday I needed to install some new software that required at the end reinstalling of Microsoft Redistributable 2005. Not sure if for that reason but now the last line (the SendKeys) is not sending the email automatically anymore. What happens is:
-the email message windows pops up but is not being sent unless i do it manually (if i get rid of the two seconds pause ahead of that)
-have a VB error message that takes me before the SendKeys line (if I keep the two secs wait ahead of that)
It looks to me that either:
-the pc is not active anymore on the email message therefore the SendKeys doesnt work
-somehow the instruction finds the "door" shut by something else
-worse of all, the software has messed up with those send keys commands (tried to reinstall it but to no avail)

I was looking at Colo's website for the Application.SendKeys method, http://puremis.net/excel/code/039.shtml ,so that I can speed up a page/print setup macro that I have.
I was partially successful in setting this up, but I did notice that there was no argument number in that method for setting up the "Fit to x Pages Wide" and "y Pages tall".... I really need that functionality....
I saw something here that is supposed to get the zoomfactor : http://groups.google.com/group/micro...8d0?scoring=d& but I can't seem to incorporate it into my code so that it works.

I have a workbook that I transfer back and forth from my desktop to my laptop, that uses Sendkeys to add code to the active pane in VBA. It doesn't work on my laptop, but works fine on my desktop.
Both computers have Vista. Is there a switch somewhere to make Sendkeys work?
We have a business system which has some very disjointed reporting. To fix this I have multiple extracts that are then combined into a single report. I then add Year & Period from a lookup of a date in a particular field. Unfortunately most values are returned as #N/A but if I manually go into the sheet and select an offending cell and click then magically the formula then corrects itself.
So I thought I would be clever and use Sendkeys {F2} as part of my code. Unfortunately this is a bit hit & miss as it works on some but not on others. Also the Sendkeys piece repeats itself leaving my frontsheet a 1000 rows from the start. This is easily fixed by selecting cell A1as the last step.
My question is there methods in VBA by not using sendkeys that will achieve the same result and is consistent. I am using Excel 2010.
Code:
Sub Add_Calendar()
Dim cell As Object, c As Range
'setup for calendar data population
' Range("H1") = "Created Date"
Range("N1") = "Year"
Range("O1") = "Period"
'copy the format
