Switch Back To Previous Workbook

Nov 29, 2007

I have a macro that unprotects a worksheet copies data from that worksheet and pastes it into a newly created and saved workbook. However I have two problems

1) I'm attempting to copy the data from the first workbook by selecting all cells and then when switching to the new workbook, select all cells and the paste special (values) then paste special (formats). This works when recording the macro but when I attempt to run it it bombs out.

Cells.Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

2) How do I get the macro to switch back to the workbook it got its data from. The name of the source workbook varies and there may be from 2 to 15 workbooks open. Is there a previous active workbook command? or do I need to create some kkind of temporary value to hold the file name of the source workbook.

Can't Switch Tab Back In Multipage Userform

Nov 17, 2011

I have two pages in the userform. What I was trying to do is that certain textbox (txtDate) needs to be entered on the page1 before going to page2. The user can still select page2 however I want the vba to bring the page back to page1 if the data is missing.

Here is the code:

Private Sub MultiPage1_Change()
If MultiPage1.Value = 1 And txtDate = "" Then
MultiPage1.Value = 0
txtDate .BackColor = &H40C0
End If

It didn't work completely - the tab selection on top was on page1 however all the controls shown are still the controls under page2. I have to manulally click page1.

I also tried MultiPage1.Page(0).Enabled=True but it didn't work either.

Going Back To Previous Cell Within Loop Macro

Jul 13, 2009

I need to copy a changing source cell, paste its value into another specific cell (always the same), and then return to the source cell for continued action (ie range selection, copy & value paste, which I can code).

This action is then followed in the next cell to the R of the first cell copied, etc to end of data. I can code the move to the R.

How do I return to the source cells as part of a loop?

Specific notes included in attached - I hope I've explained it clearly.

Excel 2007 :: Switch To Other (already Open) Workbook?

Mar 30, 2014

Assume I open with Excel 2007 three different Excel workbooks

excel1.xls
excel2.xls
excel3.xls

How can I switch from one Workbook to another?

I found no "open document" menu where all currently opened excel documents are listed.

The only way I found so far is by clicking on another preview in Win 7 Taskbar.

But I guess there must be a way INSIDE Excel as well.

Where can I find (and click) all open excel workbooks/files?

Switch To Open Workbook Using Partial Name And Wildcard

Sep 23, 2011

I have the code below but instead of defining the full name of the workbook which will change as different versions are created, can I get VBA to switch to that workbook using the partial name "Actuals Repository" and a wildcard? OR if possible for excel to just attempt to open the file, realise it is open, dont open another copy and skip the notification that usually pops up asking if you would like to open the file again.

Sub IsItOpen()
Dim Response As Integer
Response = MsgBox(prompt:="Is the Actuals repository already open?", Buttons:=vbYesNo)
If Response = vbYes Then
Windows("Actuals Repository*.xls").Activate
End If

Switch Statement Is Too Long For VBA. To Make The Switch Statement Work Over Two Lines

Jan 6, 2009

I have created a very long switch statement, which is too long to be placed in one row in VBA. I have attempted to put a space and underscore at the end of one line and continue the statement on the row below by placing a comma at the start of the second line. VBA will accept my efforts, but when I run the statement in the immediate window, the following error appears.

"Invalid procedure call or argument"

I understand that there are certain rules where I can split a switch statement onto two lines, yet I do not know what they may be.

Name Of Workbook When Moving Data Back And Forth

Jul 9, 2012

I am having some trouble writing a code for a macro that moves data between documents.

The document that I transfer data from is an excel extract from a survey, so everytime I have to run the macro, it is with a new document with a new name.

I can get so far as to move the first cell information into the other specified workbook, but I cannot get the macro to return to the the first document (the one where the name changes with every use).

Calling Macro In Another Workbook And Carrying Some Variables Back And Forth

May 22, 2013

I have a macro running in a workbook that gathers some data (a date, a string and a few arrays). Towards the end of this macro, I need it to open another workbook and run a macro that sits in this other workbook, using the data from the first workbook. I then need it to return some results (several integers) back to the first macro to be pasted into the first workbook.

I gather that I can't use 'Call' as the second macro is in another workbook.

I've found that I can use Application.Run but I'm unsure how to carry variables back and forth using this.

How to move the variables between macros / workbooks using the Application.Run option, or maybe another way of doing things?

Showing Userform When Closing Previous Workbook

Dec 22, 2008

I have two workbooks (Book1 and Book2). When Book1 opens, its Workbook Open procedure displays a Userform1 that has two Command Buttons. The first Button closes Book1 (exit the program). The second Button opens Book2. Book2 has a Workbook Open procedure that should close Book1 and display a new Userform2. When the Workbook Open procedure of Book2 closes Book1, the procedure stops there and does not show the UserForm2. How can I get the Workbook Open procedure of Book2 to execute both steps of closing Book1 and showing Userform2? This must be done by clicking the second Button on Userform1.

Pull Data Based On Day Of Week From Another Workbook For Previous Three Weeks

Feb 4, 2013

Here is what I have and am trying to do:

I entered the date and day in this format in multiple sheets in workbook 1 (named 0101, 0102, 0103) from the start of the year to last night (B2:C4):

Date:January 01, 2013
Day:Tuesday

I then entered all the data needed below that (B5:E26):

TimeTransactionsTotal SalesAverage Sales
12:0039 $352.97 $9.05
13:0053 $416.98 $7.87
14:0044 $339.42 $7.71
15:0043 $304.96 $7.09
etc.....

In workbook 2, I have sheets named for each day of the week. I would like to take the information from the previous three weeks for each corresponding day from workbook 1 and put the averaged data into another table with the data all formatted the same in workbook 2. This way, each week when I go into the aggregate file (workbook 2), I can look at the chart I'll create and see the average of the past three weeks transactions, total sales, and average sales for each hour of the business day and be able to staff accordingly (assuming the trend continues).

Calculating Distances Between Back-to-back Locations

Aug 11, 2012

I have a layout something like the following:

A1
A2
A3

[Code]....

Where each (i.e., A1) represents a location. I have tried to use a coordinate system but this will not work for the back-to-back locations. (Assuming each location is 2 feet wide, For example A1 to C1 is 4 feet apart, not 2 feet (as Euclidean or rectilinear would calculate it as).

Would there be a way to incorporate an if statement for those locations that are back-to-back? As a rectilinear distance calculation would work as long as the locations are not part of the same "block".

Ultimately I am looking to have a matrix which contains all the distances between each location:

A1
A2
A3
B1

Moving And Deleting Entire Rows Between Tabs In Workbook And Moving Them Back If Needed

Sep 23, 2013

I 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.

Cannot Just Switch The Columns Around

Mar 17, 2006

I have created a database of names & addresses from a software program called "CLIP" into excel, which in turn will become a label mail merge in MS word consisting of 900-1000 customers (for a mass mailing).

The problem is, the names were created last, first and I would like to change them to first last. Is there a way to do that without manually typing them all in again?

The names are in one column, so I cannot just switch the columns around.

Getting A FALSE When Switch Between Two Examples?

Apr 11, 2014

The setup here is I have multiple codes for a product. Coding structure is as follows (options are contained in parantheses):

N -(T,P) - (5L,6,7,8) - (DFL,DJL,DBL,UEDF) - P - (1,6,9,16,19,1H,1H9) - (g,s,blank) - (a,blank)

Clearly, there are a ton of options. What I'm doing is screening those codes and breaking them down into their component parts.

ex) NT6UEDFP1a: N - T - 6 - UEDF - P - 1 - a
ex) NT6DFLP16: N - T - 6 - DFL - P - 16

I'm trying to do multiple if/then scenarios for each option. However, the way I have it now, I'm getting a FALSE when I switch between these two examples (the dfl works, the uedfp generates false). (there are other codes which is why the first line is there. I'm just having trouble with this particular "nt/np" group)

=IF(OR(LEFT($A$14,2)="np",LEFT($A$14,2)="nt"),

IF(OR(MID($A$14,4,3)="dfl",MID($A$14,4,3)="dbl",MID($A$14,4,3)="djl"),[code].....
