I have been reading up about shared workbooks within here which quite frankly is annoying me! I have rebuilt a spreadsheet from yesterday and shared it with:
Dont Keep change history
Update changes when file is saved
The changes being saved win
At start of day the file is 660kb, now by lunchtime I have it as 15mb. Does anyone know why this occurs? Becuase the file is getting bigger this is affecting performance
I have a workbook that grows in size on every use. I import a text file, manipulate the data, manually export it and delete the data from the workbook.
So why does it continue to grow in size? By manipulating I mean, add rows and text to the new rows. Attached is a copy of the workbook in native form (have not ran the macro) and a sample file to import, the excel file is 59kb in size and the test file is 9kb in size. I have seen my original file grow to over 500kb from repeating the same macro on the same file many times or running many different files for testing.
There is a CommandButton on Sheet1, it will open a userform. Click in the largest textbox and it will open a file dialog box in "C:". Place the supplied text file in "C:" or some other folder of your choice as you can navigate to any folder or drive from the dialog box. The macros that add lines and or text are "JumpToLabelName" (this runs first) and "InsertRows" which runs second. These two macros do all the work.
Take note:
I store information in the Registry, "GeoMeasure" under "VB and VBA Program Settings" (Normal windows key entry). You can search for "GeoMeasure" and delete it if you decide to test run the file.
I have a workbook that I am working on that seems to be having file size growth issues.
All it is is 2 worksheets.
Worksheet 1- Columns A-S & 63 rows. That worksheet alone is 7mb.
no macros..No VBA..No formulas. Just straight text data with a handfull of auto-filters. I took the auto filters off and saved to see if that was the issue and it did not make a difference.
Worksheet 2- Columns A-S & 35 rows. This worksheet is almost 3mb.
Now I can make a change (when my computer catches up) to 2 cells and sometimes it will jump in size by 1mb or more.
I am designing a workbook that techs in my lab can use from any of our network computers to submit requests for making chemical solutions they need to run their tests. Currently they have to fill out a paper form to make the request, so this should make things a little more efficient and less paper intensive.
I have the workbook designed and working, but now need to implement it as a shared file and this is where the problems are occurring. I assumed that shared files could allow access to the same file AT THE SAME TIME with no issues, but that is not the case in Excel97 on our network. Using two networked computers side by side I have tried updating the shared file at the same time and got a myriad of popups. The include:
1) Do you want to save the changes you made to "..."? (I did not include the actual filename here.)
2) A file named "......" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it?
3) "......" is now available for editing. Choose Read-Write to open it for editing.
4) This file is locked. Try the command later.
5) This file has been locked by for saving. Try again later.
Question:
Are these error messages normal for shared files? Do some reflect issues more with the network than with Excel? Is there any way to get VBA to simulate clicking a Yes, No, or Cancel, or OK whenever a one of these specific messages comes up?
We have Excel 2003 at our workplace. I have shared a file, which is used by many users, so we can use the file at the same time. My problem is that if let's say I am writing a value in cell C2 and another user uses the same cell and writes another value there, and he saves the file and then I try to save the file as well, Excel will ask me which value to keep (the value written by the other user, or my value). Actually what I would need Excel to do is to save both, and put one under the other.

Now, when it starts, I have a popup form asking for password for access for it. The problem is that for one person - AND ONLY THAT PERSON - the VBA Editor window opens and she has to press the "Play" button for it to hide and be able to enter the password to access the application.
The editor is not showing on any other computer. All computers are running Excel 2010.

I've been having trouble recently with my workbook file size growing rapidly due to copy and paste commands and such. I found a very nice macro to reduce file size called ExcelDiet located at [url]

This code works fine until I share the workbook. Can anyone take a look at this code and provide some information as to why this might be happening?
Here's the details:
Same file shared by many users in the office. File is maybe 2200 rows long and 20 columns wide. Last column is a text field where users can explain variances. Cells in the last column are wrapped and the rows auto-fit on the height. Zoom is set at 100%.
One person opens the file and it looks fine on the screen. Print preview also looks fine. File prints out perfectly.
Another user opens the file and it looks fine on the screen. BUT, print preview shows that the bottom line or lines of text is cut off. File prints exactly like the preview showed with clipped text.
Both users can point the file to the same printer, but that doesn't seem to change anything. Still prints with text clipped for one person and perfectly for another...
I am keepting track of all the calls i get so the range changes daily. In A
is the date and column J is who took the call.
Is there any way to take this formula and have it refer to one place for the
range end as my table grows?
=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(Data!$A$5:$A$670)=MONTH($A25))*(YEAR(Data!$A$5:$A$670)
=YEAR($A25))*(Data!$J$5:$J$670=C$18))
I have a large column of data that’s about 500 rows deep. I enter a few points of data a day. I want a simple bar graph to chart that data in order. Simple enough.
I set up the chart and everything. But after 2 days the chart is all scrunched up on the left side. And the remainder of the chart is considered 0. I want the chart to grow as I enter data without changing the data range every day
I've been making a spreadsheet with lots of optionbuttons, and I'm slowly starting to understand how to link them to values, execute VBA script when their value changes, etc.
There is a problem that completely puzzles me. When I click the button (not in Design Mode), or any of the other buttons in the same group, they keep on growing! Please see the attached picture for an idea of what it looks like after a few clicks. I want the text and button size to be stable. I haven't changed the zoom, column sizes, etc. so I can't be that. They grow by simply clicking buttons in the same group.
The spreadsheet calculates the Up and Down Capture ratio with input for the fund and benchmark's monthly return, and results are displayed in cells F96 & I96. Because I don't know how to write a macro in VB, How to turn this into macro so that I can have the formula, =UpCapture(B:B, C:C)
because the input monthly return will change in length with different funds. the definition and formula to calculate up capture and down capture ratio is as Follows: (also the method I used in the spreadsheet)

I'm getting adding values from a worksheet using sumproduct. The formula is as follows:
=SUMAPRODUCTO((Datos!$F$2:F459)*(Datos!$A$2:A459=Tendencias!E3)*(Datos!$C$2:C459=Tendencias!$A$5))
But when i replace the range from row 459 to row 55000 i get the NA.... i need the range to be as big as possible as i keep adding data on a daily basis.
what do i need to add to the formula?
find macros to sort fixed ranges but not an entire column with existing header rows from 1 to 4.
Added to that is the need to keep the code compatible with Excel 2003 even though I have Excel 2010 at office (it's a file that needs to be "openable" in both versions so the vb code needs to be in XL 03.
Column currently starts at C5 but goes down to C47, at this point. But it's a growing list. Some of the rows are blank at the bottom, too.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to put a particular type of constraint on a column. The data entered in each successive cell in the column (going downwards) must be superior to (or superior or equal to) the previous cell, i.e., the one immediately above it.
I've searched on the Net and don't even know which key words to include. Can I use the solver to do this? Must I write a short script (I've never programmed anything in an Excel document). How do you make sure that this constraint is always applied even in the 1,000,000th line of data? A basic version assuming no blank lines would be great. Another version where blank lines are permitted would be cool too.
I have been working on part of the code for my spreadsheet and it works fine in the spreadsheet “Databaseform” however when I copied the code to my master spreadsheet “Paul_PartLocDBCombo” it does not work, I get the error:
Method ‘ range’ of object ‘_worksheet’ failed
The code is then highlighted in yellow, the code is:
Set rng = wksPartsData.Range("a1", Range("a65536").End(xlUp))
Meaning this part is incorrect but I don’t know why? To work it: go to Databaseform and press start. Enter 7mm in the product field and press find all. It will then return all the matching results in the userform. Its this I want to try and achieve on the other spreadsheet when the button find label is pressed.
I have an Excel workbook which is networked throughout our business. Its been in daily use for years with no problems. Every month I add a new sheet and to do that I untick the "allow changes by more than one user...etc". However this month the tick is greyed out and wont let me clear it. The pc's run windows XP professional with Excel 2003.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a 4 MB Excel file containing some very basic VBA that is shared on a server (it is a large file because it contains LOTS of "VLOOKUP" functions). But the VBA only works a part of the time. I assume the reason it might not work is because the server at that time was under high traffic and thus the VBA failures can be traced to poor server performance at that time.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a master timesheet that i would like to update for several employees. Each employee will be sending their own spreadsheet at the end of the month. the columns in the spreadsheets have the date, the employee's name, the project they worked on, and how many hours they worked on that project.
when i receive all of the employee's spreadsheets (they will be emailing them to me) then i would like to import the data into a single table that i can then evaluate using pivot tables and pivot charts.
I tried using sharing and merging but i can't figure out how to have their information merge into a single table without overwriting each other (the numbers of rows with information is different for each employee and is not predictable - it will vary from month to month).
I would like to make this as automatic as possible. Ideally, they will send their spreadsheets to me and i would like to have their information automatically imported into one big table.
