Sharing Workbook With Multiple Users Entering Data Simultaneously

Feb 2, 2013

My Workbook contains several UserForms in which employees will be entering hours and activities on a daily basis. In the UserForm, they select their department and enter hours for each specific type of work/activity that shows up for that department in the userform. They click the submit button and all the data (date, name, department, type of work and hours) is added to a database table in another sheet, which in turn feeds a number of reports.

I need to be able to have anywhere from 20 to 100+ employees enter their hours on a daily basis, many of them at the same time, all from different locations (within the network of the client's system), using the same UserForms.

We've experimented with Google Drive, but that seems not to be the solution. It kind of works, but is not secure (it installs a copy of the entire workbook on the users system and then synchs the data back to the server upon "save") and way too cumbersome. I've heard of SharePoint, but not every client has that installed (and frankly I don't know how it works).

Multiple Users Updating Same Sheet Simultaneously?

Jul 17, 2013

I have a workbook with a list of drawing numbers (with customer, date, author etc.). New drawing numbers and their associated row of information are entered onto the sheet...

..HOWEVER, multiple users can be at least viewing and potentially entering information simultaneously.

I have written code where multiple people can view the same read only file, but not edit it and it be updated.

It seems quite unlikely, but is there anyway of 'live' updating a workbook whilst multiple people are viewing it? Or at least notifying other users when the sheet has been updated?

Enter Data On Multiple Worksheets Simultaneously

Nov 2, 2006

See the file attached (there are the same columns on all sheets, apart from on "BLANK"). The "Sort" sheets 1-4 contain rows that are repeated various times on the "Raw data" sheets. The "Sort" sheets are mutually exclusive; there is no repetition of rows among them. When I make an entry into an "ACTION" or "REASON" cell on any of the "Sort" sheets, I want that entry to be replicated on all identical rows throughout the "Raw data" sheets. Matching of the rows is to be via Criteria 1 and 2. I would preferably like the replication to be as I make the entries.

I am currently looking into writing a private sub for each "Source" worksheet. This would activate when a change was made to that sheet's ACTION and/or REASON cells, group that sheet with the three "Raw data" ones and change the relevant cells/rows (assuming that finding the relevant cells/rows within this function is possible). Or the macro could just loop through the rows of the three "Raw data" sheets and copy IF, but this would be long. Does this sound like the way forward or am I barking up the wrong tree? Should I be looking into VLOOKUP or pivot tables? Or is my data structured badly in the workbook from the outset? How straightforward will this macro be? Has anyone any pointers, magic routines in their libraries or links to relevant info?

Simultaneously Copying Data From Multiple Sheets To A Single Sheet

Jun 4, 2009

I have a workbook containing about 20 sheets. I need to find a way of pasting all the numbers in the A column in each sheet (sheets 1-20) to the last sheet so I get a great big list of all the numbers in the 20 sheets. How would I go about doing this?

Right now I'm cutting and pasting from sheet 1 to my last sheet, then from sheet 2 to my last sheet, then from sheet 3 to my last sheet... Is there a quicker way? The ranges in each of the sheets start at A2 and go down a few cells. Sheet 4 might have 4 numbers in the A column, sheet 12 might have 47, sheet 17 might have 8 and so on.

How would I go about getting all the A columns in the sheets to the last sheet?

I'll throw up a few screenshots if the problem is unclear

Sharing A Workbook Dependent On Sources

Aug 12, 2007

I have a workbook which relies on another "source" workbook for getting some data. It then does some processing on the data and displays some results.

I want to share the workbook with the results with others, but I don't want to give them the "source" workbook.

Compile Data From Multiple Users Based On Criteria

Aug 18, 2011

I have a few people all entering in data into excel, since they cannot be all in one sheet they each have their own copy. I would like to be able to extract all data where column P reads "Red" from each users spreadsheet and then delete the corresponding lines from their spreadsheet (end of day activity)

The Sheets will be named
FDEntryU1AM.xlsm
FDEntryU2AM.xlsm
FDEntryU3AM.xlsm
FDEntryU4AM.xlsm

[Code] .......

I will then need to do the same in another workbook for all items Labeled Blue, but that of course will be same code with just an item replaced.

The idea is after they close up the person overseeing the data can import all at once and leave the users with fresh empty workbooks.

Shortcut For Entering Massive Tables Pulling Data From Multiple Sheets

Jun 16, 2014

I've already entered a variation of the formula below into 180 different columns. The only variation is where worksheet 322 is referenced. Each column references a different worksheet.

Formula:

I have at least four other tables to build of the same size, and they're each going to use this same formula with an additional IF formula housed around it. Ideally I would be able to copy the table, then run find/replace, where I could substitute = with =IF(new formula, and then run find/replace a second time and sub ))) with ))),more new formula). The problem of course is in between those steps lies a formula error preventing me from running the second step. The only alternative I can think of is to build the new formula, copy it into a word document, and run find/replace 180 times to tailor the formula for each column. That's what I did to build the first table.

Share Workbook With "Allow Changes By Multiple Users" Code

Aug 8, 2007

Although i am using VBS, the coding should be similar. I am looking for all Excel files in a folder (WORKING) and determining if they are shared, allowmultipleusers, (WORKING). The problem I am encountering is changing the Excel workbook to a [SHARED] workbook. By that I mean Multiple users can open and make changes. What is the syntax to enable that? As an FYI I can save the [SHARED] workbooks as exclusive (normal), but not the reverse. I have tried Saveas,,,,,,xlshared, but is not working. Here is the VBS code I have (For grins)

Const APPLICATION_DATA = &H1a&
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
'Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace("L:Shared Services Stock Rotation ReviewRotations for Review")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace("C:Documents and Settingsmhast14DesktopRotations for Review")
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application") ..............

Splitting Screen Within Workbook To See Two Worksheets Simultaneously

Jan 18, 2006

I am working on a document at work with multiple worksheets. It would be most useful for me to be able to split the screen so that I can work on both worksheets at the same time without (a) having to switch back and forth, (b) modifying the workbook so that everything is on one sheet, or (c) opening the file twice and sizing the windows to my screen.

My goal is to be able to see the information on each sheet while modifying one sheet or the other.

Sharing Class Module Among Multiple Userforms?

Apr 22, 2014

I have two user forms, each with a checkbox for Jan-Dec. Also, I have a checkbox "All" to check/uncheck the Jan-Dec boxes. I also created a class module so that if any of the Jan-Dec boxes get unchecked, while the "All" box is still checked, it will uncheck the All box. Basically I just don't want the All checkbox to be able to be checked while any single month is unchecked. The only/easiest way I found to do this was with a class module, so I would not need to create individual Checkbox_Jan_Click() events for each month.

Now my issue is, I have 2 userforms like this. I'd like them to share the same class module, but in the class module I need to refer to UserForm1.CheckBox_All. So I need to dynamically refer to whichever userform was active, but as far as I can tell, this is not possible.

I have a number of worksheets and need to move data from the same cells of each work sheet to a summary worksheet. I manually entered the cell id's for the first sheet.

Example =Jan!M6, =Jan!N7, =Jan!O9 etc.

I know I should be able to automatically enter these same cells for the remainder of my worksheets with out manually going in and typing each one (there are a lot of entries.) I just can not remember how to do it. The next sheet is named "Feb" and "Mar" etc.

Macro To Press F2 Key For Multiple Cells Simultaneously

Nov 2, 2011

I am trying to use Vlookup and match on a large volume of data. The Vlookup true function was having trouble when an exact match occurred. I changed the table to allow for all options (sizes in this case) but the Vlookup with false came up with #N/A. The Vlookup key was the result of a formula. I then typed the same data and the formula was successful. I then copied and pasted Value the entire contents of the cell. I still received the #N/A. I then pressed [F2] to edit the cell and then pressed enter and this was successful. I have over 60,000 cells to edit and can not do manually. Any macro run the [F2] function on a range of cells or another way.

Single Scrollbar To Scroll Multiple Textboxes Simultaneously

Aug 10, 2006

how does one use a single scrollbar control to change the scroll position of two textboxes simultaneously?

The reason why this is required is because the textboxes are both multilines and the data in each is related. So there isn't much point in the user scrolling through textbox1 and then trying to find the same scroll position in textbox2 by changing it's scrollbar.

I've tried changing the Curline property of the textboxes within the scrollbar change event but this is obviously a poor method as it involves changing the focus every time the user scrolls...

Search For Multiple Text Strings Simultaneously In Single Cell?

May 23, 2013

I have a spreadsheet that has relatively clean data, but at the end of every row is a long notes fields (often filled with several paragraphs of text). I'm trying to search inside each one of those notes to see if it contains certain boilerplate language / legalese / key words.

If I was just looking for one word, it would be easy -- I would write =IFERROR(IF(SEARCH("keyword",E2)>0,"Yes",""),""). That way, if the keyword is present, it returns "Yes", and if it's not present, it returns a blank.

What I want to do, though, if look for a long list of keywords simultaneously, and if ANY of those keywords are present, have it return a "Yes".

So I could do something like =IFERROR(IF(or(SEARCH("keyword1",E2)>0,SEARCH("keyword2",E2)>0,SEARCH("keyword3",E2)>0,SEARCH("keyword4",E2)>0)),"Yes",""),""), but that seems horribly inefficient. Especially since my list of keywords is likely to change over time.

So what I want it to do is search each cell by simultaneous reference to an ever-changing table of keywords (call it [KeywordTable]). And I can't figure out how to do that. The search function is resisting all of my efforts to put multiple search values / a range of words inside of it.

To reiterate: the goal is to look at one cell filled with text, ask "does the text in that cell contain any of the keywords contained in [KeywordTable]", and if the answer is "Yes" return yes, and if the answer is no return no (or blanks).

Unhiding Certain Sheets Upon Entering The Workbook...

Feb 24, 2009

My database has what I call the 'cover page'. On the sheet is a command button that will take the user to the next page. Basically what I want to do is upon opening the workbook, the user is taken to the cover page, and all the rest of the sheets remain hidden until they click a command button to 'enter' the workbook. P.S. I have some sheets that need to remain hidden though...

Of course the other way is just to have a userform that opens when the book is opened to do the same thing. Where would I put the code for the userform, in ThisWorkbook or a separate module?

Now, some vehicles share the same oil filter and I am trying to find a way to return the vehicle description when using the filter # as a value. In my example below, I am looking to fill the third column with the Vehicle that also shares the same oil filter number. i.e. in the Dodge row, toyota would appear in the third column and vice versa in the Toyota row.

Vehicle
Oil Filter #
Also used with
Dodge
51515
Honda
54565
Toyota
51515

I am not well versed in excel lingo which is probably why I have a hard time coming up with a method that works.
