Is there a way to create a copy of the template by entering an employee name in the "name" cell of the template and it automatically renames the sheet that employee name and also saves or recopies the template for use with the next employee?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI Have a number(30+) of excel files based off of one template. I have since updated the template, thus making the the old ones obsolete. Is there a way to update the older files to use the new template without having to copy and paste the addition's row by row column by column?
None of the additions to the template will change the placement of existing data, nor will it change the data itself. It will however add Values to cells that were previously empty.
Hints, Tricks, or Ideas?
1)
I created a one-sheet template, and a new workbook from that sheet. When in that new workbook I go Insert>Sheet>Other and select the aforementioned one-sheet template, Excel crashes, or if not, it adds the new sheet, but then no longer saves the workbook and starts producing error messages (like: "An unexpected error has ocurred. AutoRecover has been disabled for this session of Excel.").
1a)
Now, the complication is that this is working when I do a model operation with a generic template sheet. So I checked the template that I actually want to form sheets after, and Excel finds no errors, nor does it's name contain any unusual characters. What could Excel prevent from working with a template like this?
2)
How do I edit a template? The only way I can find is to manually find the spot in finder, open, and save with the same name. But: if I do that, the documents basing on that template don't change accordingly. If they're intended not to, the whole template procedure makes no sense. I could then just as well copy a file. — I've been searching for tutorials on that, but google doesn't even return a single result on Excel "edit template". Therefor my very basic question here.
I've attached 2 test files, one is the database master file containing the projects (each row represents a project, unique reference number in column A) and the other is the blank template file i'm hoping to export data into and then save down with the naming convention "column A_column B.xlsx"
Kept the test files simple but would need to modify any code to apply to much larger database consisting of many more fields etc.

I have a list of invoice #'s on a sheet named "Temp Sheet".
I have a VBA macro that created a new tab for each entry and named it the invoice #. So basically the vba code created a new tab ( based on the number of invoice #'s on my list ), and named each tab an invoice number. So if I had a list of 10 invoice #'s, named S1-S10, the vba code created 10 tabs, named S-1, S-2,. S-3.....
Now to my question.
I have a template sheet I want to copy from ( "Template" ), and select any sheet that starts with "S", and copy/paste this template to.
I have a template file for ordering trafolyte and steel plates. I have added macros to this template file. The existing macros do the following (shortly described):
Macro 1: clears order
Macro 2: update order date + send a read only file to the supplier of plates + save a read only copy of the file into one of three folders acc to info in one of the cells.
It's the Macro 2 I want to edit.
I want to add a "function" which copy a selection of data.column A to N from row 12 to 548 but only the rows where there is a value in column A.
Row 1 to 11 includes standard order info and Macro buttons.
Row 11 includes the heading for order data.
For everytime someone click on the Macro 2 button in the template file, I want the selection to be paste into the first "available" row in a "Total list" file.
The "Total list" file may have to be open (or a function to open, paste selection and then close the "Total list" file may be added)
File and Folder info:
To simplify suggestions, the following file and path info can be used (I can change to the correct later):
Template file name: template_order.xlsm
Template file location: \servershared emplate
Total list file name: total_list.xlsx
Total list file location: \servershared otal
Selection info:
The template file exists of a "general order info area" A1:N10
The column heading for order data is located at A11:N11
The selection to be copied is A12:N550 - But only rows where column A includes data (not empty).
(If the spesific order consists of 14 plates than there will be item no 1-14 in column A and I then I want to copy A12:N25 (row 25 will be item 14).
When I try to use record macro it looks like it only records what's happening in the template file - It doesn't record the pasting in the total list.
my spreadsheet logs call references and total times, as well as the date.
All the data is stored in the worksheet 'Data' while I want this report to be generated under the worksheet 'Admin' - I do not want it to be live either, I would want it so you press a button to generate the report so the data does not change (hopefully making this easier in the process).
There are 2 things I want to do with the report, first is to log all the calls by date to generate an average per day. Secondly, I want to generate a list of the 5 longest calls so these can be reviewed.
Im trying to write a spreadsheet to generate track times (anywhere from 9 seconds to 2 hours) for a RP. Im not really sure where to start, but if I can get a push on the start I can finish it out.

I did the StrokeScribe plug in etc, but I can't find a way to reference the value of the QR from another cell. it only appears to let me change each QR by right clicking and changing it in the properites which is worthless.
I got this code from this board and it works OK for generating 1 password. What I want to do is to generate X amount of passwords on to sheet2, so if I use cell B1 as the amount of passwords required it will generate that amount on sheet 2. I tried doing a loop, but had no luck with it, (Not ruling out user error at this end)
Sub PasswordGenerator()
Dim Password As String
Dim PasswordLength As Byte
Dim LC As Byte 'Loop Counter
Dim strRndmChr As String
Dim LAC As Byte 'Lowest Ascii Character
Dim HAC As Byte 'Highest Ascii Character
Dim UseSymbolics As Boolean
Dim HasSymbolics As Boolean
Dim RandomNumber As Byte
'Set parameters.
PasswordLength = 14...........
I am organizing a sports tournament and would like excel to randomly generate the teams for it.
We have 20 people who will be organized into 10 teams of two. how to setup the formula to have two people randomly paired together without duplication. The names will be further used in other formulas for points calculations.
So, I have the names as A1:A20 and then would like the teams generated from B1:B10 and C1:C10 with the team being the row and the team members in the B and C columns.
I am trying to create a random name generator. I have tried something like this...
=INDEX('TM Names'!$A$2:$A$36,INT(RAND()*35+1))
But sometimes it will give you the same name 2 or 3 times in a row. I need it to pull up a different name each time, from a list of names I already have.
In Column A I have a list of 8 team names.
In column AB I have a list of 28 weeks written in date format.
In column B I'd like to chose one week from the 28 weeks listed in AB at random. But B2 - B9 can not have the same date (ie could not have two dates for the 19th of April).
How exactly is that done?
Alternatively - is it possible to have in Column AA the 8 team names. In Column AB the 28 weeks. In Column A a random team picked from column AA and in Column B a random date picked from Column AB. Both column A and Column B can not have duplicates... There's 28 weeks with 8 teams - therefore I only need 8 unique weeks.
Has anyone seen an Excel program that will generate words based on letters entered. For example, if I had 10 cells in a row, and each cell contained a letter (duplicates are okay), what words could be derived from arranging those letters in random sequences.
It would need the ability to accept any letter of the alphabet, A thru Z
E A L R C T S S U C
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
How many words could it generate, and what are the words?
I assume it would have to reference a spelling dictionary.
It could be used as a spelling learning game, etc.
I like to know if this can be done using vb.
If I have a list of names of associates B2 to B32. Can I randomize the list in any order.
Then if I need to want that list to only randomize B2 to thru B30
Then if I need to want that list to only randomize B2 to thru B28
And so forth.
Sort of being able to pick from a pop up message box or userform that will ask you how many names to randomize in that list.

I wrote this to help me generate a random password for a workbook. I am happy with it so far, but I was wondering if there is a way, to shuffle the order of the variables? So, instead of MyPassword always being A, B, C, D, E etc
Sub RandPass()
Dim A As String, B As String, C As String
Dim D As String, E As String, F As String
Dim H As String, I As String, J As String
Dim K As String, L As String, M As String
Dim MyPassword As String
Dim v
ReDim v(33 To 47) As Variant
A = Chr(Int((UBound(v) - LBound(v) + 1) * Rnd + LBound(v)))..............

I need a formula to create random letters down a column: A-F. Probability of A=3%, B=6%, C=8%, D=11%, E=14%, F=16%. I've got it worked out to where each letter is a header of a column ("A" is in A1, "B" is in B1, etc.). My question is: how do I consolidate that in one column, so that, "A" for example, reads ABFCBACFBFBECEABCEABCEAFBCEFBCAFEBCFAEBFC...? I'm using the random number generator for the 6 columns...thx
