I am working with Excel for Mac. This has presented a number of challenges but I have successfully handled them. I am having a problem though and would love some input. I have a workbook that contains a pivot table. The pivot table is based on "Sheet1" of my workbook. The user will hit a button on the pivot table spreadsheet and the first operation is to select a file from their computer. I am using a function called - MacScript to open the finder window and select the file. The file name (with full path) is stored in a variable called filepath. The file consists of a single sheet - Sheet1 and I select all and copy the cells. I then go back to the original workbook, select my worksheet with the source data for the pivot and I again select all and paste the new information over the old data. I have a named range called pivotsource that references the 9 columns that are required for the pivot table. What I would like to do now is go back to the original workbook and close it, do not save anything, just close it like nothing happened. I have tried to close it by using:
Since I had a large amount of data that is in the clipboard, I will also have to deal with the message coming up asking what I want to do with the clipboard. My bigger problem is that the activation of the filepath workbook doesn't work. How can I get back to the original workbook? I thought about the index of the workbooks but I don't know if the users will have other workbooks open at the same time. If they did, I could not reference it.
I have written VBA code to open a separate file and then copy back and forth between the two files. However, when I recorded, I got commands like the following:
Windows("DestinationFile.XLS").Activate then the copy/paste stuff then Windows("SourceFile.XLS").Activate
The problem is that my "SourceFile" may have a different filename. I need the code to be robust enough to handle the possibility of a different filename. I tried the following, but it did not work:
Dim MarketProfileName As String MarketProfileName = ThisWorkbook.FullName Windows("DestinationFile.XLS").Activate then the copy/paste stuff then Windows(MarketProfileName).Activate
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.
I want to use a for command, but not include all the i's between two numbers. The reason is I want it to activate open workbooks that have similar names, like '110000 2007.xls', '120000 2007.xls', '130000 2007.xls', '150000 2007.xls' and so on.
I want my code to look something like this:
For i = 11, 12, 13, 15 Windows(10 * i & "000 2007.xls").Activate 'do stuff Next i
Is there a way I can do this? Or use another command?
I have a user form that has several tab pages on it when the form opens it checks to see if the user has entered there default info if it is empty it needs to go to the default tab so the user can enter there info. How do I do this using vba in excel 2000 I have not been able to find any code that will do this if I use the set focus option for a text box on the tab page it comes up with an error saying the item is not visible! The user forme is names = UserDataInputForm. The tab pages I have are
1st = InputDailyTimesPage 2nd = OverTimePage 3rd = DataPage 4th = DefultDataPage the form opens using the 1st tab page by default in the user forms inisilisation code I have this check
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.
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)
I have several phone numbers that I copy and paste from the web: I.E:
(888) 456-7890 (333) 234-5678
I need to switch all of them to just standard numbers: They should look like this:
8884567890 3332345678
I go to "format" - "cells" - "numbers" but nothing works. I wonder if any formula can do it. It should work for ALL THE LIST, I want something else than change them one by one by hand.
I have made a little program for a customer at work which has 4 different worksheets.
Each worksheet works out a cost based on different prices.
I would like to make a 'Welcome' worksheet, with buttons on it so my customer can click the button which corresponds to the option he would like to cost, and then excel automatically selects that worksheet.
how to create buttons but don't know the code to but behind it. It would be nice to also hide the other 3 worksheets when they have not been selected by the welcome page.
Im having trouble switching between windows that are open in separate instances of excel.
I used to be able to switch easily between these workbooks when they were both being being run in the same instance of excel.
But since having to change it so the workbooks are opened in seperate instances, i cannot get it to work, the code just fails when it trys to activate the first window.
I currently have the below code:
Code:
Sub CloseAndSave() Application.EnableEvents = True '//Activate InfoHub workbook and put a tick in the checkbox. Workbooks("403 InfoHub.xls").Activate Sheets("HOME PAGE").ToggleButton1.Value = True
I am trying to set up a budget spreadsheet for a friend. The sheet will have the usual incoming and outgoings with a surplus at the end of each month. This surplus needs to be accumulated each month in a particular Account (Cell).
Once the amount in this cell reaches £5000 any surplus accumulated each month from that point needs to be deposited in another account (Cell).
I'm trying to work out what the Hotkey is to switch between sheets in excel.For example there is Alt+Tab for switching between windows, Ctrl + Tab for switching between open internet tabs, surely there must be a way to switch between sheets in Excel too, right?
If I have an excel workbook open and then, select the side-by-side option to open another workbook, and I want to write a macro that will switch between the two - how can I do this? The problem is, I don't want it to switch by file names (one workbook constantly changes names), I just want it to switch between active workbook and inactive workbook.
Once I have the code to switch between active workbook and inactive workbook, how can I have my macro look at a cell and see if data is present and if so, drop down to the cell below.
I have multiple anded conditions both Boolean and numerical. For testing purposes, I wanted to be able to switch off individual numerical conditions in the If statement. It seemed like an easy matter that I could simply comment out the And statement of choice and recompile. When I tried this, I received a compile error.
Another option would be to use individual togglebuttons to selectively turn off the 5 numerical comparisons. I have no idea how to set that up.
how to do this with either commenting or togglebuttons?
The If statement If OptionButton4.Value = True _ And ToggleButton1.Value = True _ And Range("G3").Value >= Range("N6").Value _ And Range("AV22").Value >= Range("AU22").Value _ And Range("E3").Value = "Long" _ And Range("G3").Value Range("BG7").Value _ And Range("H4").Value >= Range("L4").Value _ And TradeFound = False And _ DeletedFound = False Then
I have a range of amounts in Sheet 1 from F7:Q13 and im using the find method to search for the active and non active values in the cell. Which means that if there's a value in the cell it will transfer the value in Sheet 2, if nothing is found in the cell the cells in Sheet 2 will return as nothing or null.
I think the problem lies on the FindWhat variable. Im getting a compiled error which im not sure what is it.
I've attached the spreadsheet so you get a better idea of the problem that i encountered.
When I copy the tab and change some of the data within the cells, I want the macro refer to the chart on the current tab and the values in the current tab - as currently it refers to only "Chart 2" and the values in the tab 'Figure 2 - WE OPH'.
I've tried changing the sheet name to ActiveSheet.name but that doesn't seem to work.
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.
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.
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.
I have a macro that turns off filtering option when it runs. What I want is for to first warn the user that rows have been filtered and the Macro will not run, then once the filters are switch off, the macro will run. It does the last bit at the moment but switches off the filtering of protected cells and once the macro has run the sheet can no longer be filtered .
Sub NewRowSQT() Dim ans As String ans = MsgBox("Ensure you have selected a cell in column B immediately below the section you wish to add to or the Macro will FAIL!", vbYesNo)
I have data in columns A to Z. Column A has the name of Bonds and columns B to Z have different returns for those funds. I would like to create a scatter plot chart that allows me to switch which column to pull the data from in addition to column A which will always have the name of the Bonds.
For example in addition to the name in column A I would like the chart to plot data from Columns C and F on the x and y axis respectively.
I'm thinking of copying column A to a new tab and then having a drop down box in columns B and C to copy over values from the 2 columns I select. How can I get a drop-down box to copy over values from another column?
i have list of users with name, company, division, subdivision, date ...
the list can contain more than 10000 users and i want to be able to switch 2 users using a listbox/filter/ validation list.
there can be multiple users with the same name even company so a simple validation list which is limited to 1 column will not suffice. the interface for the switch should be fool proof so anyone can switch 2 users.
