Stop Returning False Value When Using GetOpenFilename

View 12 RepliesI have two columns A & B. If I enter "Short" into Col A, I want "Long" to automatically appear in Col B, and vice versa. This is the code I have created so far. =IF(C4="Short","Long",IF(C4="Long","Short",IF(C4="",""))). This works but when I paste the formula into all cells in Col B, I get "FALSE" showing up in every cell. How can I stop the "FALSE" from populating every cell in Col B while Col A remains blank?

So I test first to see if this sheet already exists within the workbook and then ask the user to delete it if it does. I've stepped through the function and the function is always returning False whether Regression exists or not.

=IFERROR(IF(AND(C6>="",E6=""),"update system",),"")
I'm trying to apply the istext to a cell that has multiple values eg: [car, boat, truck] so I have setup the cell with the formula
=istext(c147 = "car",1,0)
it returns false constantly. Is that becuase of the other values separated by comma's in that same cell?
Is there a way to do this so that I don't have to go through 300+ cells that have multiple values to separate them?
The formula I am having issues with is:
=IF(L14="YES",IF(B14="","",NETWORKDAYS(B14,IF(AH14="",TODAY(),AH14),IF(L14="NO",NETWORKDAYS(B14,IF(V14="",TODAY(),V14))))))
I'm looking for formula to return a value based on the amount of networkdays between 2 dates.
Column L has a drop down for
"YES" and "NO"
If "YES" is selected then I need the formula to subtract AH from B (if B is blank I don't want the formula to return anything)
if AH has no date then I want it to use todays date.
If "NO" is selected then I need the formula to subtract V from B (again, if B is blank I don't want the formula to return anything)
if V has no date then I want it to use todays date.
The formula seems to work for everything as it is EXCEPT when L is "NO" it only return FALSE.
I'm trying to create a IF function to stop at $1500 for 401k employer match. To make it simple the variable in column D is constant but in reality it's based on 50% match amt up to $1500 of amount contribute(% of gross pay). The accumulation of matching is a rolling balance. If the match amt is less 1500, then match amt. But False, the left over amt equal 1500 then STOP there onward.
IF(SUM($D$3:D19)+($C20*0.5)<1500,$C20*0.5,SUM($D$3:D19)+($C20*0.5)-1500)
I have a formula in column A of the following sheet. The problem is that when the entry in cell H contains a letter as well as a number then the formula in column a returns 0.
Also if the value for false in the forumula is changed from 0 i.e to 1 or 2, then a value is returned in column A (this is shown in the red highlighted cells).

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have searched for the Runtime Error 13 in the archives and tried a few things that was suggested such as: If I change the Variables Dim FName as a String for instance it then errors in the middle bold area "If IsArray(FName) Then" as a Compile Error - Expected Array. I tried deleting the Option Explicit but that didn't do anything.
If I comment out the If FName = "False" Then routine it works.. however *that* is in there because if the user hits Cancel on the Getopenfilename box, it will just continue with the rest of the process. If the user hits cancel, I want it to stop, but since this code is in a module, it will kick back to the calling Userform sub and thats how it continues to run. The label caption change is setting a label caption to "cancel" if cancel was selected on the get openfilename dialog to exit out of all the UserForm Subs, Is there a way to pass a variable from a module to a userform?

When I use the GetOpenFilename() method, it seems to default to the particular users My Documents. Is there a way to force it to default elsewhere like a share drive, or the users desktop?
In the same line of thought, if I have a file named TestFile.xls. and I want to try to open it from the users desktop if they have it, how can I do this, since their desktop location is different than mine?
The Macro asks the user to point at the location of a report, it then copies information out of that report and pastes it into a master sheet. The part I am having trouble with is closing the file that data has been copied from.
I have tried different things to close it such as
I am using the GetOpenFilename method to allow the user to select a file to open:
vaFiler = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(FileFilter:="Adobe PDF Files (*.pdf),*.pdf", _
title:=Description, MultiSelect:=False)
What I would like to do is 'pre-load' the filename the user can select. They will be picking a file to attach to a part as a datasheet. Almost every single datasheet in the library has the part nuber as part of it's filename, so to make it a little quicker (and more accurate), I want pre-load the filename selection window with *partnr*.pdf. If nothing shows up, the user can delete filename I have entered for them and see all files in that directory.
I copied below code from one of Andy Pope's thread answers. Thanks Andy.

Dim vntFile As Variant
vntFile = Application. GetOpenFilename("Graphics Files (*.bmp; *.gif; *.jpg; *.jpeg),*.bmp;*.gif;*.jpg;*.jpeg," & _

I'm having problems with the multiselect argument of the getopenfilename function. I've used this dozens of times with no problems, but now it doesn't work for me. I tried copying and pasting code that works in one module,
What I'm using is
Sub OpenFiles()
Dim vFiles As Variant, iNumfiles As Integer
vFiles = Application.GetOpenFilename(MultiSelect:=True)
If IsArray(vFiles) Then
For iNumfiles = LBound(vFiles) To UBound(vFiles)
MsgBox vFiles(iNumfiles)
Next iNumfiles
End If
End Sub
pretty simple, expect that when I select multiple files in the open dialog box, vfiles is a string containing one of the filenames, not an array containing them all! (by selecting, I simply highlight all the fiels I want and click open)
I'm writing a subroutine that asks the user to pick a file (using GetOpenFileName) and extracts some data from it, then closes the workbook it opened automatically.
Problem is that it seems I can only reference workbooks by index, which is a big problem if they have more than one workbook open. I don't want to have to force them to only keep 1 workbook open, that seems like bad practice.
importFile = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", , "Select field sheet")
If importFile = False Then Exit Sub
Workbooks.Open importFile ' Open the new workbook
importFile ends up returning something like, "C:Documents and SettingsMy DocumentsFieldBook.xls".....................

View 6 Replies View RelatedThe user has a workbook that opens external workbooks, one being a Guard CheckSheet which the operators have to fill out every morning shift.
What currently happens is when they fill out their checks it close the workbook and sets a togglebutton back in the main workbook to true (puts a tick in the box).
This part works fine, but i need the box to clear (set to false) every day at 6am.
I have timers setup that work if i run through the code, but when i check the next day, the tick is still in the box.
Im not sure if its because the workbook is inactive for so long because the operators mainly have their timesheet workbook open for the majority of their shift?
Im currently playing around with having it clear based on the time of day when then Window_Activates or DeActivates, but that relys on them actually changing windows at that exact time or within a certain time frame.
