Is it possible to show a timer on a worksheet as a user inputs to it? I can get the timer to appear, using Application .OnTime Now() + TimeValue ("00:00:01"), "AutoRecalcWorkbook", but it's kind of modal -- that is, the user can't input at the same time it's running.

I am not new to excel - but I have never required the use of advanced excel features before today - so I apologize in advance. I am a health professional student (graduate level) assisting my preceptor in developing patient management mechanisms.
I am building an excel spreadsheet to manage current medications for several patients.
I have built the spreadsheet with the first 'sheet' being a directory and subsequent sheets being patient data files(one sheet per patient).
I am now in the process of creating a macro to build new patient data files (a new sheet for a new patient). I recorded a macro to build the new sheet with the proper formatting of information. What I am trying to do now is automate the naming and linking of the new sheet.
What I am really after is how can you create a "prompt" such that after activating the macro button it asks:
Patient last name:
Patient first name:
Then uses this data to:
1. Rename the newly made sheet to 'last, first'
2. Title the newly made sheet with 'last, first'
3. Create an entry in the directory in the 'last, first' format
4. Finally, build the hyperlink from the directory to the newly created sheet
I've got a workbook which runs several macros and take approx 10 mins to run. I was wonder if its possible to put a timer in the status bar which shows how long the macros have been running.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to build something like this....
function getdb(a,b,c,d,e,f........x)
getdb = a & "," & b & "," & c &....& x
end function
where x is the total number of variables.
So if in excel, I run getdb (a,b) that it will know that the funciton has only 2 variables but if i run getdb(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j) that it knows.
I am trying to avoid getdb(a,b,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,) as I bet the user will not know how many ","s to use
Say a user inputs information into the user form, when they click enter, it enters all the data on the next available line in a workbook.
Is is possible for the user to click a cell on a previously entered row, and have the userform populate with the existing information?
example.
say the user has to fill out 3 separate areas. 1, 2, 3. However the user only has data for 1 and 2. They go ahead and enter the infromation for 1 and 2 and click submit to transfer to sheet. Now later he gets information for area 3, can the row the information that he previously entered, lets say column 1, row 1, and it reopens the userform with the information for 1 and 2 prefilled from what he entered previously?
I am trying to insert a timer into a column cell range that will countdown in hours, mins, and sec, when I enter the time. example: when I enter the "time in hr,mins,sec" it will start to countdown to Zero automatically, when I hit the enter key.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have three charts on different worksheets - what I want to do is to use a macro to display each chart for 30 seconds and switch to another worksheet and display the chart on that worksheet.
something like below:
ActiveSheet="Sheet1"
ActiveSheet="Sheet2"
ActiveSheet="Sheet3"
Application.OnTime Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 30), "Procedure_name"
I have created a time sheet in excel (see attached) that will be part of the larger workbook that will be linked with other sheets to auto fill in most fields. I am wondering if there is a way for an user to enter a Month and a Year at the top of the page and that in turn automatically fills in the days of the month by week.
So in attached sheet there are 5 boxes representing 5 weeks in a month. So if we used May 2014 as an example I would like to know if there is a way that once May 2014 is entered in up to top that. Excel fills in the dates in Week #1 with under Thursday showing 1st, under Friday showing 2nd as on for the entire month...
So as the month go by all user has to do is state the month and year and excel fills in the weekly dates for each day in month.

I have recorded the following marco and it works fine. I would like to modify it so the user would highlight a range of cells rather than have the fixed area :
"'ConsExecProp@20120920'!R4C5:R113C21"
What code lines would need to be added?
Application.Goto Reference:="R4C5"
ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlConsolidation, SourceData:= _
Array("'ConsExecProp@20120920'!R4C5:R113C21"), Version:=xlPivotTableVersion12 _

I have a sheet named SEND FORM that has some info that I would like for the user to see for about 10sec when he opens the work book and then it will hide and show the sheet they will be working in named STOCK CUTTING FORM.. Also is it possible to have the 10 sec timer to be shown in cell L12 in the SEND FORM sheet... I already have a couple of things in my open event which are below
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Call RunOnTime
Call ShowMsg
End Sub
I need to add a function to a worksheet that shows the name of the previous person who used the document.
I know about the Function GetUserName, but obviously this just shows the username of the person who has just opened the document. Is there anyway that we show the previous user????
I need either a formula or VBA code to display the user ID with which the user is logged on to the computer where the Workbook is opened.
Is there a way to get that with Excel?
I have a workbook with multiple worksheets, and I am trying to create a title sheet where a user can select their name from a drop down list, and Excel will show only the tabs that are associated with that user. For example:
The worksheets in the workbook are:
Heading
Control sheet
Client Relations Admin
Sales Summary
etc...
The user Hudnall needs to see the sheets:
Client Relations
Sales Summary
The user Ferguson needs to see the sheets:
Sales Summary
Control Sheet
I want the user to be able to select their name from a drop down list on seperate sheet, and have the Macro show only the sheets that they need to see.
it is possible to add a mouse over event to this Macro so that when a user runs the mouse over the bitmap picture that this macro is assigned to it would show the value in TextBox7 for the record with the specified TextBox1 Value.
For example for the below Macro it would show the Value of TextBox7 for the record that matches "103" in TextBox1
I have searched the Forum as well as a few different VBA books and can not find much on Mouse Over events
Sub crkt_id_103()
Load frmMain
frmMain.TextBox1 = "103"
frmMain.Show
End Sub
Based on the attached spreadsheet, how can I place a button for users to select a range of dates from Business Date column. I am stumped cos I have never done this before. They want to be able to select the date range...ie only view data of date ranging from Example : 1 July to 31 December OR 30 June to 31 Aug.

I'm trying to write a macro attached to a button which will add another sheet to the workbook with a specified name. I'm running into problems when I try and reference this new sheet, since when a sheet is added it's sheet number is not necessarily the next available number. Like if I inserted two sheets, Sheet1 and Sheet2 and deleted one the next sheet I inserted would not be Sheet2 but sheet3. This is causing me some problems in trying to make my code error proof. Here is what I have.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have tables on a spreadsheet and userforms created. Is there anyway to prevent users from just typing on the worksheet so they will have to use the userform?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've only just starting using Excel for anything other than basic calculations and have got a little stuck with a user form. On my attached spreadsheet I am trying to set up a form for staff incident reporting. There is a Contents worksheet and then each incident has it's own detailed worksheet. The user will click on 'create new incident' on the Contents page.
This opens a user form. From this form I want to populate the contents worksheet. I then also want it to populate the relevant incident worksheet. I can populate the contents page but I need help getting the correct Incident worksheet populated at the same time. Hopefully all will become clear running the file.
I have a worksheet that has been designed to allow the user to enter data, in certain cells of the worksheet are formula to do automatic calculations as the user enters data. Here is my dilemia
a) I need the cells with the formula's to be locked so the user cannot delete or alter them.
b) In cases there may be a case where rows will have to be deleted or inserted, depending on the data entered.
c) The sheet needs to be protected to avoid the user from altering the sheet i.e. design etc.
I have found the problem is that i can lock out all the cells that i do not want the user to alter, and i can protect the worksheet and allow users to have certain edit right. But the problem i am facing is that when you have locked or protected cells on a wprksheet and you protect the sheet, then you can not delete or insert rows.
Is there a way that allows the sheet and formula to be locked, but also allow the user to delete or insert rows if they need.
I am creating a spreadsheet for work - I have a column that is all the formulas projected sales minus actual sales.
I need to lock this column so that no one BUT MYSELF can change the codes. In other words "idiot proof" the worksheet. there are only 18 sections that I want anyone else to be able to type in.
is there a way to do this without adding users? half the ppl have personal emails and half have company emails.
I have created a form in a worksheet which I have added questions too and then locked all cells except the ones where I want the answers in.
I have then added a button to the bottom of the sheet called "Print and Save". This work sheet is called "form"
On a second sheet called "database", I have all the titles of the questions running from a -> k and nother else.
What I want to happen is the user input the information on "form" into the boxes available. Once they have completed the questions, I want them to be able to click on "Print and Save" so that firstly the page "form" prints, and then for all of the answers to be saved in "database" below the titles for each question.
I have had a play, but just don't know where to start. Also, once there is a row of questions below the titles, I don't want it to overwrite information already there, it needs to go onto the next empty row available.
Attached is my excel file.
You will see in the code that I have the code for printing.. I just found this on the net and it seems to work fine for me.
I'm using a series of user forms for data entry to a workbook, some of them open next stage user form on completion (OK cmd button).
All that is working fine, but I'd like the initial form to close on showing the next one. I've tried adding Unload and Hide commands following the frmInsertEntry.Show (Next stage form), to no avail, but I'd like this user form to close or hide at the end of the sub.
Private Sub cmdContinueType_Click()
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Records").Activate 'Select starting cell in record sheet
Range("N3").Select
Do
If IsEmpty(ActiveCell) = False Then ' Search for next empty cell
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell) = True
If optDrillType = True Then
frmDrillEntry.Show
Else
frmInsertEntry.Show
End If
End Sub
VBA code to get userform input from form to "Data" worksheet. Data starts at columns A3..AG3. I need the code for the "Input" button to put Month, Date, Type, Comments under their corresponding columns and the "Amount" to go under the appropriate column that is selected by the Option Button. I've included a picture with in "red" comments.
