View 1 RepliesI have an excel work book with 6 tabs. I would like to have Excel move an entire row from one tab to another tab (removing the row and inserting it in the other tab). I.e. Example I have a tab with items that are marked as "Open Actions" so if I were to change the drop down to close. Excel would move that entire row of actions to the tab with the "closed actions" and insert into the next available row. Now if someone were to come back at a later date say no it should be reopened than I would change the drop down to open and excel would move that row back to the open actions tab into next available row. I tried a PIVOT table and no good I played with few macro and not.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have created a simple button that I want to take me to a certain number of tabs.
I have about 24 tabs. I can't see them all. I create a button that will take me to a specific tab from my main page. This works fine till I rename the tab. I want the code to read a sheet number or something like that instead of the specific name.
Sheets("JobList").Select
Range("A8").Select
This works till i change the name "JobList"
There are 4 tabs titled: xy,xx,yx and ss. On tab ss; in cell A1, there's a formula that gives the sheet name of one of the remaining 3 tabs (so depending on a few conditions that are not important for this problem, its value is going to be xy, or xx, or yx.)
what I want to do is (say on cell A2), create a vlookup formula whose table array should go to one of the 3 tabs depending on the value of A1. So, if A1=xy , then, I want the table array to be ,xy!a1:b90, ..
However, I cant use an if clause (say: if(a1="xy",vlookup(..,xy!a1:b90,2,false),if(a1="xx",vlookup(..,xx!a1:b90,2..........) because I actually have 20 tabs and I dont want to go nuts with a bunch of nested expressions.
i have data that has several bits of information for each different account number.
is there a way of writing a macro to transfer the information from the main sheet onto different sheets automatically titled for each of the different account numbers?
ie. Account Cost
E1 £100
E1 £200
E2
E2
etc
i want different sheets for the info next to each of the account numbers
I'm looking for a macro to move all files from one folder to another. I won't know what the files are called and don't really need to know. They could and will be different every time. The purpose is to clear out the files created in the past fortnight ready for the next batch job to run.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am developing a macro where I need to open a file, copy a value from a cell in that file and paste it in a cell of the original file. I need to do this several times from the same two files. My problem is that I don't have a command that moves back to the newly opened file to copy another value and paste it, again, in a cell of the original file. I can't use a specific file name to move to the newly opened file because the new file name changes every day. Here is the command that I use to open a new file:
Dim fn As Variant
fn = Application. GetOpenFilename("Excel-files,*.xls", _
1, "Select The Previous Day's Borrowing File To Open", , False)
If TypeName(fn) = "Boolean" Then Exit Sub
' the user didn't select a file
Debug.Print "Selected file: " & fn
Workbooks.Open fn
I need to move back to file fn several times, but, as I stated above, the file fn changes every day.
I need to move all the "Excel" files which are available in Folder and also the Subfolders from this location.
I need all the Excel files.
I found a code which is able to move only from Folder but not from the Subfolder.
HTML Code:Â
Sub Move_Certain_Files_To_New_Folder()
'This example move all Excel files from FromPath to ToPath.
'Note: It will create the folder ToPath for you with a date-time stamp
Dim FSO As Object
Dim FromPath As String
Dim ToPath As String
Dim FileExt As String
Dim FNames As String
[code].....
I've already done a search and found this on ozgrid.com:
RunCodeOnAllXLSFiles
I'm sure it is what I need, but as a non-programmer, I'm having trouble using it.
I have 12 files, each with 14 tabs. Example:
File: Sector.xls
Tab 1: Region 1
Tab 2: Region 2
Tab 3: Region 3
The client now wants 14 files, each with 12 tabs:
File: Region 1.xls
Tab 1: Sector 1
Tab 2: Sector 2
Tab 3: Sector 3
My first attempt was to try a macro:
1) left click on tab
2) move or copy...
3) move selected sheets to book (File: Region 1.xls)
4) then go on to next tab...............
Now, this does loop through the requested files, I can see them open, then close. I'm guessing they are copying, but I take it that I need to have it paste, then go to the next? (The c:files is just generic, as the files are on our LAN, and I'm just paranoid. The "Erie St. Clair" are the actual names of the file, and the tabs).
I have a file containing 20+ tabs and would like to be able to save each tab as a separate Excel file (with the same name as the existing tab)
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am sure the answer to this is out there somewhere but I haven't been able to find it. Thank you in advance for the help - I just can't figure it out.
I have several identically formatted worksheets (for different departments) with macros that reorganize the data in each sheet. I also have a list of managers with their respective departments in this same workbook.
I want a macro that will save these department sheets (values and formats only) in new workbooks - the manager's name - according to the list. I also need the macros that reorganize the data to work without referencing the original file.
I am trying to do is write a macro that will pull two tabs labeled "XXXXMarch" "XXXXPTD" (the x's represent numbers) from each file within a designated folder and copy them into a master file.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wish for a macro to look in to a directory which remains constant, but then looks within a folder which is specified via a cell value in order to load a specific sheet from each file in to the workbook I am currently using. I wish for the loading to be done without having to open the workbooks manually, so something which opens them copies the data from the sheet specified and then closes.
This data is then to be pasted in to a new sheets within my workbook which are named after the file names that it pulls the "dump" sheet from.
As a side note, I will be using these sheets to produce calculations hopefully automatically as soon as they are loaded. They all have the same "shape" but contain differing data. Will it be easier in the long run for me to use this method of pasting data to new sheets named as their file names assuming there will be around 25 "dump" sheets needing to be loaded or would i be better having them paste all to one sheet just underneath each other with a couple of rows separating them?
Macro2 is in ThisWorkbook.
Code:
Application.MacroOptions Macro:="Macro2", Description:="", ShortcutKey:= _
"d"
How to do the above when this workbook is not active workbook.
Anyone know if you can place a shortcut on the desktop using VBA code?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a routine that by clicking one button, that calls a macro, that currently opens Excel, or Word, or WordPerfect. The following macro uses a Case Statement looking at what the extension is, such as for Excel . . . xls
I have added a case statement for a shortcut . . . exe
I've created a calendar in VB following the instructions in this link - [url]
The calendar works fine but the problem I've got is I've got unwanted copies of the shortcut when I right-click. If you scroll down the URL, right at the bottom in blue is a paragraph that describes the problem and how to get rid of it. I've tried this numerous times but the duplicate entries keep re-appearing.
I've attached my workbook in the hope that any of you experts would be so kind as to take a look and offer any help or advice on how to fix this problem?
Is there a way to find and edit all the shortcuts I created in one (and in more then one) Excel spreadsheet?
View 2 Replies View RelatedSome expert users can unhide a sheet in a worksheet which is protected by password. But I don't want to place a button in the worksheet for everyone to see and wonder what it's for. I can record a macro and assign a keyboard shortcut but I can't do it it with existing macros ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow can I create keyboard shortcuts in the easiest way.
E.g.: I would like to create my own shortcut for "Merge".
unknowingly i must have deleted some shortcuts via VBA code.
now, the shortcut key (excel 2003) Alt+Insert+Row works!
But, Alt+Insert+Column does not! this works in my colleagues computers which also have Excel 2010.
is there a way to reset all keyboard shortcuts on my computer? i have tried in vain to find a solution but not found one option.
I currently have a navigation menu with 9 options however these options are based on Range names that I have set up.
The concern is that if someone deletes the cell that contains the range name, obviously that option in the navigation won't work, nor would you want it to.
However if someone re-enters a cell that you would want linked up with the navigation there's a lot more action involved.
What i'm looking for is a macro that can be used through a button, Idealy i'd like the macro to search through column "B" and look for key labels (ex: "Ground Floor", "1st Floor" "2nd Floor" etc.) and have each button set up for it's respective search data (ex. Ground button searches only "Ground Floor")
I have been trying to get Excel (2007) to change the colour of tabs to match other tabs in the workbook
Using this code I get the colour code of the current tab
Code:
x = ActiveSheet.Tab.ColorIndex
But when I use this value in a procedure like this:
Code:
ActiveSheet.Tab.ColorIndex = x
The tab is a different colour!
I have a summary page that includes the titles for each tab within the excel 2003 workbook. I want to use the names of the tabs in the summary page and create it into a formula to lookup fixed cells within the various tabs. Sorry for not uploading an excel doc but I was at work earlier and the thread did not load for some reason, so I am reposting it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've created Keyboard Shortcuts to run Macros in "Workbook A". Problem is, if I have "Workbook B" open in the same Excel instance/process as "Workbook A" the Keyboard Shortcuts will run the Macros in "Workbook A".
Is there a way to restrict the Keyboard Shortcuts to only run the Macro if Workbook A is active?
Or is there a way to code the Macro to run its procedures only if Workbook A is active?
I'm using Excel '03SP2 on Win 2000sp4. I believe I have a case where old tabs originally written in Excel ' 97 behave differently than new tabs in the same workbook, which is saved in 2003 format.
Specifically, the formula ="PLAN" & budyr-1 where budyr is a named range on a different tab containing 2008 . This formula yields PLAN 2007 on a new tab and #VALUE! on an old tab.
How do I get Excel to update the old tabs so that they behave as Excel 2003 tabs?
Trying to write a script to carry out a number of tasks but is there code to enable an Excel to look in a particular file for the list of csv files - carry out the tasks and return the appropriate values in the Excel sheet whilst leaving the original csv files untouched?
View 2 Replies View RelatedNeed a way to update a single master file. What happens right now is that the cost manager sends out one file to a lot of different project heads and then on having them return back to him he basically has to individually add in all the data. What i am trying to do is that he somehow carries on sending out the data as there are a lottt of projects and then on returning them they automatically update.
how I can loop through folders to select files starting with a certain word and copy all of them to a different folder and rename them. The folder structure is given below
Company 1(parent folder)
North South East(sub folder) West(sub folder)
Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec
In the above structure, the files are present inside each folders Jan, feb...Dec under the regions North, South East n west. note that I have to select files starting with "Sales" and copy them into a new folder(say results) and rename copied files as Sales1.xls, Sales2.xls etc. (Files are not present in the folder company1, north, south, east and east.)
I want to allow users to place files (.jpg, .tif, .pdf, .pps etc) into a network folder and then have my program open each file and display it for 30 seconds then close the file and the application before opening the next file.
1. Set up a loop to get a directory listing of the folder and write the listing to a text file.
2. Open up the text file and get the next filename in it
3. Open the file in the associated application
4. Wait for 30 seconds (or some period of time) and then close the file
5. Repeat steps 2-4
DoIt = 1
While DoIt = 1
Open "C:TempList.txt" for output as #1
Print #1, Files In Folder
Close #1
Open "C:TempList.txt" for input as #2
while not eof(2)
Line input #2, MyFile
Display MyFile on screen
Wait for 30 seconds
Close MyFile and MyApplication that opened it
wend
Close #2
I can get the directory listing just fine with no problems
I can open the files in the associated application just fine with no problems.
with closing the application after 30 seconds or some period of time.
I need some code that will allow me to easily send it a filename and it will know how to close the file and the application that opened it.
