Check If Connected To Network
Jan 11, 2008I have created an application for users that requires the user be connected to the network. I wanted to do a check to see if they are connected, and if the user is not connected they would get a message box telling them that they need to be connected to the network, then the workbook would close. Below is the code I have, but when a user is not connected they do not get my messagebox, instead they get the excel error message "excel run-time error '52': bad file name or number", and the debugger line that gets highlighted is in the function DirExists that checks the length of the directory of the file path: Len(Dir(strpath))
Option Explicit
Function DirExists(strpath As String) As Boolean
If Len(Dir(strpath)) = 0 Then 'this is where the debugger highlights
DirExists = False
Else
DirExists = True
End If
End Function
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim strpath As String
Dim strfile, strfile2 As String
strpath = "\n530fs1PCLFileSharespcl_repositPricing_ToolsPAT"

Sep 29, 2009As above i have a macro which opens a workbook which is on a network drive. This works fine for my multiple users...however i have discovered that if they do not have the drived mapped with the same drive letter at the start...it will throw up an error advsing that the file does not exist. Is there any way to by pass this.
Ex - "TestFile.xls"
File is stored in "E:NetworkTeam1Testfile.xls"
However, some users have access to this file and it is mapped as E:, but some users have been mapped as F: The advisors who have been mapped as F: cannot access the file. Is the VBA/Macro smart enough to bypass the drive letter and just search the rest of the past...NetworkTeam1Testfile.xls".

Workbook Slow Down
Mar 30, 2009I have a workbook made up of worksheets containing source data, pivot tables and charts but it is now becoming very slow since I have added a worksheet with many formulas.
If I move that worksheet containing many formulas (20 columns by 150 rows) to a different workbook will that help speed both of them up? The formulas will obviously still by referring to the original workbook.
Or is it simply by using formulas it slows things down whatever you do and I will have to think of a clever way of using pivot tables instead? Are there any other things that could be slowing it down? Other workbooks I maintain are fine.
Workbook Slow To Open
Jul 8, 2009I have searched the forums re my issue and have not found a relevant solution. I have a large workbook 19MB in Excel 2007. There are 400 sheets and each sheet contains various formulas and one macro. The only graphics on each sheet are color coding of some cells. The workbook takes 2minutes 55 secs to load. Once open there are no issues. Is there a reason why this is so slow or do I just have to accept that being a large file it will take this long. There is no issue with HD space or RAM as the laptop is only used specifically for this workbook. Running Intel Core 2 Duo, 160 HDD, 2mb ram.

Force Links To Reference Linked Workbook Network Folder
Apr 4, 2008The situation is that I have created a workbook in a network folder: xprojectsexcelclientAApril
umbers
The workbook links to a few other workbooks on the same network, but in the parent folder: xprojectsexcelclientAApril
The problem occurs when my colleagues have to updates the links in the main workbook, because they have not mapped the network drive in the same way as I have. The problem is NOT the prefix, but the fact that they have a more direct link to the network folder. My collages have mapped the folder like: xclientAApril
Is there a way where I can make the links in the workbook, so they don't depend on the entire string, but only on the fact that it is in the parent folder?

Mar 25, 2008my existing macro, as the run takes to much time to complete. (at least 20min) I've already tried several loops, but no one worked for me. Following situation: There are two excel files, entries in column 73 - 85 will be copied from WorkbookRust to the other workbook if the numer in column 5 is the same. Not every cell within this columns contains data, so the macro should automatically jump to the last entry in each of the above mentioned columns, instead of predefine the range as you see in the code below. After the data is copied to the other workbook, it will be filtered acc. to Sub FilterMain and then copied back to WorkbookRust. As already said, the whole thing works, just to lame.

Mar 20, 2014I have a workbook with several columns, some of which are for internal company use only.
Sometimes we need to send an updated list to business partners, but they don't need all columns.
Is it possible to make another workbook which takes only specific columns, and excludes the stray info at the bottom of the original workbook? See examples.
Alternatively: Would it be simpler to make an extra sheet in the original workbook, and somehow choose "Safe only this sheet to a new document" whenever someone requests the list?

Calculate A Lot Of Averages Of Non-connected Values
Feb 20, 2008Situation: I need to calculate a lot of averages of non-connected values. That is, they are separated by several rows (which also contain values). So far, I use the code-sample below (just to illustrate), which is not really elegant. Unfortunately, it seems that this technique comes to its limits when a high number of different non-connected values are combined into one string and get assigned to a formula- range (last line of code), which is where the program stops.
My question is: Is there a nice way to solve this? A way, which is not limited by the amount of data processed? The only way I could think of, would include a UDF, where a sum, sums all values up and then devides by the number of added sums ... but this would be relatively slow, and I have an awful lot of values to be averaged (100 sets * 6 rows * 200 values = 120.000 calculation- steps), as well as STDEV and a Standard Error of Mean (SEM) to calculate. Is there a better alternative?
Const intCells=9 'actually, this is no constant but a variable
Const i=4 'actually, this is no constant, but a nested for- loop-value
Const intLinesInBetween = 12 ' amount of lines, which separate my values
Dim j As Integer 'simple counter, runs through all cells
Dim rngUpperRow As Range 'Range of the upper row = normalized time vector
Dim rngCurrentRowAvg As Range 'current row into which avg formulas are inserted

Vba Hyperlink To Local Worksheet
Mar 7, 2007I would like to, using VBA, assign a hyperlink to an excel cell that links to another worksheet within the same workbook. I've tried the forums, and combined with a previous post and MS Excel Help File, I've come up with the following attempt:
With Worksheets("Test Destination")
.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=.Cells(counter + 4, 5), Address:=strHyper2, _
TextToDisplay:=(#1/1/2007# + counter)
End With
strHyper2 is previously defined: strHyper2 = "[WeatherTester.xls]1!A1"
My spreadsheet file is "WeatherTester.xls", my worksheet is "1", and "A1" is the desired link location for the cursor. Counter is an integer. I get the error "Invalid procedure call or argument". I also tried to enter a hyperlink directly through the formula property, but Excel didn't like the single quotations I had to use within the HYPERLINK function. The hyperlink formula works in the following form: =HYPERLINK("[WeatherTester.xls]1!A1","1 Jan")

View 1 Replies View RelatedState And Local Sales Taxes
Feb 21, 2009Our state carries a 4% sales tax on all items except food and prescriptions.
Our county carries a 3% sales tax on everything.
Attached on my work sheet:
Column "C" determines if an item is either food or non-food.
"G5" is the subtotal of column G
"G4" is the S/tx on "G5" at 3%
"G3" is the S/tx on "G5" at 4%.
"G2" is the gross pay out.
My question is:
I'd like a formula for Cells "G3" and "G4" that can determine which items paid for in column "G" match a "N" or an "NF" in column "C".
If an item in column "G" represents a "F" in column "C", then there should not be anything in cell "G4" If an item in column "G" represents a "NF" in column "C", then there should be a figure in "G3" & "G4".

View 7 Replies View RelatedCreating A Local Named Range
May 8, 2006I am working on a process model, which requires that the same basic procedure be carried out for each unit in the process.
One worksheet is allocated to each unit with data concerning the flow streams being passed from the previous unit and the product being linked to the next unit. Although the same procedure is therefore being followed on each sheet, the input data differs.
I currently have the code to perform the required technical operations and calculations for a single unit. This code is very much dependent on named ranges.
I want to use the same core to perform the routine-operations, but need either unique named ranges on each page or I need a way to define name that is limited to the specific worksheet on which it is located.
For example, I might have an input range for a heater and splitter, with a technical add-in in VBA performing calculations on the input for each unit. How can I use two separate instances of the name "Input" instead of "Input_Heater" and "Input_Splitter"?
