Stop Macros Automatically Running At Predetermined Intervals
May 15, 2007
I am using a macro that automatically updates data obtained through a DDE link at 5 second intervals. My code is based off of the article "Automatically Run Macros at a Set Time or Date" found on the Ozgrid FAQs found here: http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/run-macro-on-time.htm
However, I have this macro execute when I activate a Form Button, not when the workbook opens. So far, this macro works perfectly, and I have no problems. Although, I'd also like to include a Form button to STOP the macro from automatically running if the user chose to do so. How exactly would I go about making this STOP button?
The code from this page works perfectly when I am running one macro at a set interval: [url]
However, when I try to run multiple macros at different set intervals the order of execution gets messed up.
For example, I need macro1 to run at 00:00:30, macro2 at 00:00:45, macro3 at 00:01:00, then macro1 at 00:01:30, macro2 at 00:01:45, macro3 at 00:02:00 and so one.
Hi, I am runnning this marquee label function in a userform (Dash). When I close the form, using 'unload frmDash' the function is still running in the background. Can someone give me a tip on how to end it at the same time as the form is closed?
I have a spreadsheet containing a macro to automatically sum values from week to week and display the max/min and average. This is almost fully working. The problem I have is the macro copies the sum formula down the page and doesn't stop at the last row. It always adds one or two extra rows. The formula should stop at row 77 however this does not happen and therefore the sum keeps going. Which in turn, distorts the max/min figures.
I have a large macro called SplitData, which takes a load of data and splits it and reformats it each month.
I have 4 Activex Control combo boxes on one sheet that are linked to a range...this range changes each month, so I blank out the range and then repopulate.
My problem is that when I blank out the range, it triggers the Private Sub ComboBox1_Change() and throws some errors because there is no data to select.
So, I was wondering if there is something I can set in my SpltData macro that will not run the ComboBox1_Change sub while the SplitData macro is running?
I have a vba function linked to conditional formatting that i want to temporarily stop while a sub to insert a line is running as the sub stops when it hits the sheet where the vba function operates. When i disable the vba function (or remove the vba function) the sub works fine, if the vba function is not disabled the sub stops.
Attached is an example of the program. The purpose of this program is to allow someone with very little knowledge about the information to enter data. The first tab labeled "Instructions" is will have two macros assigned to the buttons at the bottom of the page. The first macro labeled "Move Data" will move data will clear data in the shaded cell on the "Entry Form" sheet and fill those cells in with '----. The second macro labeled "Generate and Save" will save a master copy of the program, save a historical copy of the program by date, and print/save a pdf copy of the "Reports" sheet.
Each one of the historical (the last 8 sheets of the program) sheet receives data from the "Entry Form" and then moves the data by date into the table for archiving purposes.
If you look at the code for the "Entry Form". I have a couple of subs. The first being Worksheet_change. the first section of this code is to force certain cells to be uppercase. This part of the code is working fine. The second part of the code is the Dim MyValues. This part is working fine also, but...
My issue is... When I run the move data macro from the "Instructions" sheet the Dim MyValues reads these as changes to the cells and wants to push the data to the historical sheets.
What I would like is an IF Statement above the Dim MyValues part of this code that stops the Dim MyValue part of the code running if those values are blank, 0, or have '---- entered into them.
My users log on with unique PIN numbers for example 1234. I have a worksheet that has approximately 10 different VBA codes. What I would like is the ability at the start of the code to say if the current users pin is not in a hidden range then exit the code. If not run it. Is this possible?
I currently have a userform that runs a bunch of code for me. There are a lot of listboxes on the userform that have rowsources of various dynamic named ranges. I'm running into a problem when I have the used click the "Remove Item" button from the userform. Normally it is supposed to go back to the sourcerow and remove all of the cells that contain values that are selected in the listbox.
The code for removing the cells works just fine, however when it deletes a cell, for some reason the code executes a private sub that is in a different sheet. I can't figure out why and it's messing up my macro.
Here's the
FROM USERFORM:
Private Sub cmdAIRemove_Click()
For i = 0 To lbAISummary.ListCount - 1 If lbAISummary.Selected(i) = True Then For Each cItem In Worksheets("Lists").Range("YourAI") If lbAISummary.List(i) = cItem.Value Then cItem.Delete (xlUp) '<- right after this line it jumps to NWSMonth_Change i = i - 1 End If Next cItem End If Next i End sub...
I have the following code to add dash mark to TextBox1 value depending on some condtions (mentioned in the code), the code works perfectly, but when we use Backspace Key to clear some charactors it is conflicting with the code running when changing Textbox1 value.
I've created a macro that runs for about 3 seconds. While the macro runs, the active worksheet display jumps around because of the various cell references being addressed in the macro.
Is there a way to stop the jumping around? How can a simple "Progress" screen be displayed while the macro is running?
I have a file that shows a rolling screen and updates information every 30 mins. I want to be able to stop the screensaver from activating while this file is open.
I have found this code on the forum that does this, how do I call this function from another module? ...
I have a list of hyperlinks in excel with check boxes next to each, does anyone know how I can do a macro that will run another macro if the check box is checked and ignore the macro if it isnt checked???
I have a couple of functions running in my workbook, and for no reason that I can see, when one of them runs during a simple macro I use to show/hide some columns, the worksheet vanishes. Is there a way to stop all functions running while I show/hide columns?
I'm opening a workbook and then running the macro in the workbook. The problem is I would like to build a "timeout" feature if the macro is running too long (as some of the macro's this will run can take days to complete) but I don't know how to run the macro asynchronously. Also I need to know if i can get it to run asynchronous is there an event that will tell me when the process is finished. The calling application of the macro is written in VB6 and opening excel workbooks to run the macros out of. also the "timeout" feature must be done from the VB6 application it cannot be edited into the the workbooks containing the macro.
When I send a workbook with macros to some of my users, they either can not open the workbook due to there being macros or they have to enable them each time the workbook is opened. I know there is a way to correct this, but I don't know how to look this up in help so I am coming to my trusted friends on Excel Forum. I would also like to know what this is called as I slightly remember that there is a name for this.
I currently use an Excel program (with macros) that run weather forecast data. It is compatible with versions XP, 2003, 2007 and 2010. However, I am trying to figure out if I can run it on a Mac. My plan is to run windows on my Mac through Parellels or VMWare Fusion.
Here is a link to the Excel Program: TX Tornado Forecast Worksheet
I usually run it on a different server while I work on another available server. However, if I am in Excel on a different server working, I cannot copy and paste in Excel (if I try to copy & paste, I end up pasting data from the macro). This makes sense since the macro is copying & pasting but is there any way around this? I purposely didn't past the code since it's huge but it has a lot of "cells.copy, activesheet.paste, etc".
I need To have them excecute automatically once data Is enter into a cell In column A:
I 've attempted onEvent configurations starting with -
Sub FillScanSheet() ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Select If ActiveCell > 1 Then Application.Run Concat Application.Run InsertLocation Application.Run Dupes End If
However I keep getting a circular reference error --
I've got a worksheet_selectionchange macro on a sheet, and another macro that you can run after it. The issue is that when the second macro runs, it also runs the selectionchange macro, and wipes some of the info that the second macro should be copying.
Is there a piece of code that I can use in the second macro to block the selectionchance code from running until it's compelte?
I've forgotten how to prevent the macros from showing in the macro dialogue box.
I'm sure it's got to be something with the VBA editor, but I can't figure it out.
I've got some files where the macro list is hidden and I'd like to do the same again, but for the life of me....I'm stumped. I'm sure it's something very simple.
I've protected the Worksheet & Workbook.
I've done some searching...."macro hide", "hide dialogue" etc. but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
It's been a while since I had to amend code, as everythings been running very smoothly.
I have to run several different types of macros depending on the folders. each folder contains several excel files. so what i want to do is if a folder has a certain name run a certain macro, Here is the code:
VB: Sub Macro1() '//Change the path to the main folder, accordingly Call RecursiveFolders("C:Path") End Sub
[Code]....
then call macro 2 end what syntax code should go there?
Our department receives weekly and fortnighly updated workbooks from a number of different departments. Each workbook contains 10s of worksheets. Our department analyzes the data and generates reports from those worksheets.
I have developed a few macros to automate the report generation for making the computing of my colleagues easier.
Now, the problem is that all the macros are developed behind individual sheets and some modules. For this reason, my colleagues have to copy each updated sheet and paste over the older ones individually, each and every time. It is really quite time-consuming task - deleting older data from all the worksheets and then copying fresh data on each of them, one by one.
They want to make their life easier by just replacing the entire workbooks with the new ones and still want the macros functioning, as usual.
My concern is how I can put all the code in a separate workbook and how to reference data from the other workbook.
I have been writing VBA code in Excel for about 4 years, but I am self-taught, so I only know what I have had to learn. Recently, I learned that I could run a macro from a cell formula. I created several hundred cells (on multiple worksheets) that include calls to various macros. I only want to run these when I know they need to be updated, not every time I change a cell value.
I turn on Design Mode and try to modify my worksheet (adding or removing columns, rearranging stuff) and some macro(s), somewhere(?) execute every time. This can sometimes take 15-20 seconds for everything to update.
Did I hit some magic key sequence, somewhere? How is it that some of my macros, somewhere are running with Design Mode enabled (and turning it OFF, by the way)?
