I have a sheet which needs to run a macro only if certain selected cells are TRUE. The TRUE cell indicates that my colleagues have updated their spread sheet. So then i can go run my macro. But i would like to automate this process. What code would I need to Automate If cell a1 = TRUE run macro? and IF cell A! does not = TRUE do nothing? Bearing in mind this will be all run with Reuters in the background.(which is VERY annoying)
View 9 RepliesCan I adapt this code so that users receive the alert if they try and go to the next field without filling in the required ones, or - better - to combine it with a code that does not run a macro, but instead gives the alert, if the required fields have been missed. (I don't require anything to do with printing, this was the closest code I could find)
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
If Sheet1. Range("A1").Value = "" Then
MsgBox "Cannot print until required cells have been completed!"
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
I am trying to automate data import, instead of doing it manually all the time. I recorded a macro and now I am trying to edit it so that it can be used with any file.
Here's my code -
I have a Workbook with about 20 Worksheets, for each sheet I have a Selection Change Event that simply performs the Following:
MainSheet1. Range(“Z1”) = Now
1 Cell on every Sheet then is pointed to this cell via =Main!Z1. Problem is that when this is preformed Each Row from the Other In-Active Sheets and sometimes a near-by Button will Appear on my Active Sheet. I cannot select the parts of the sheets that appear and when I scroll down till they are out of view and then scroll back up they are gone until I select another cell and it happens again. I have tried in the Z1 cell to just put =NOW() and Make Calculations Manual and then with the selection change to call MainSheet1.Calculate or Workbook.Calculate but this has the very same effect and the other sheets bleed onto or ghost onto my Active Sheet. So far the only way I’ve been able to get around this is:
If Application. ScreenUpdating Then
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
MainSheet1.Range(“Z1”) = Now
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Else
MainSheet1.Range(“Z1”) = Now
End If...............
I have a workbook with that contains macros on a worksheet. When I open the worksheet, I sometimes forget to enable the macros.
Questions
1.Sometimes I get the message about macros being in the file that I'm opening and sometimes I don't - I don't understand why it doesn't pop up all the time and be consistent.
2. If I don't get the pop up screen or if I do but forget to enable the macros, I get reminded when I try to run a macro. For example, I have a check box and try to check it but I get the message that the macro has to be enabled. So I enable it, but the macro doesn't run. I have to uncheck and then recheck the box to get it to run.
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.
I have a 5K Excel 2010 workbook with VBA code that until yesterday, took about 30 sec. to run.
Today, after installation of WIndows7 Home Edition automatic updates, the running time has increased to about 4 min.
I need to use to prepare for analysis a large set of individual participants' Excel data files collected using a psychological reaction-time experiment (a modified Stroop task). This experiment was created using a program called Superlab by Cedrus, so I posted an inquiry at the Superlab forum [url]. Their tech support suggested I might need to use macros in Excel but couldn't offer further assistance. I'll try to briefly describe (a) our Stroop task, (b) the operations I'm trying to carry out, and (c) the format of the individual Excel files,
Our Stroop task: The participant gets some instructions and practice trials, then a series of stimulus words are presented one word at a time in the center of a computer monitor in one of several colors. Word presentation order is randomized for each participant. The participant must press a key corresponding to the color of each word as quickly as possible. For each keypress (including the spacebar, pressed on instructions screens), the reaction time (in msec) is recorded in their Excel spreadsheet under the 'Reaction Time' variable. The 'Error Code' variable indicates whether the participant pressed the correct (C) or incorrect (E) color key in each trial. There are 8 types of words for a total of 48 trials. (Actually, 4 sets of emotion words and 4 sets of control-animal words, each set composed of 6 words each. The task basically measures how much peoples’ attention is captured by emotionally relevant cues in the environment.)
For each participant's data, I need an efficient way (macros?) to:
(1) clean it [i.e. discard or ignore the instruction & practice trials as well as trials where the participant was too impulsive (reaction time < 100 msec), too distracted (rt > 3000 msec), or gave the wrong color response (Error Code= E)]
(2) determine whether enough valid trials remain for further analysis (>39 trials), and if so:
(3) calculate a mean reaction time score for each of the 8 word types [where denominator for each word type is based on # remaining (non-discarded) trials for that word type]
(4) merge each participant's summarized data as single rows in a common spreadsheet (for importation and further analyses in SPSS), like this:
---------------------------
ID#...... MeanRTW1.......MeanRTW2...... (etc. for word types 3-8)
101.......1056................2013...............
102.......2148................2594...............
103...
---------------------------
Excel File Format: I've attached a sample file, and here's a simplified overview of a spreadsheet (irrelevant columns and some rows removed). First the ID number is recorded (e.g., 393E), then some unnecessary junk (exp name & date, intro, practice, instructions), then data for the 48 actual trials of interest:
-------------------------------------------
........A...............B..................C.................D............
1 393E

6 Trial Name.....Trial No..... Error Code.....ReactionTime
7 introduction..... 1................C............561243
8 practice.......... 2................C............... 2062
9 red-worried........14.............C................1001 (*the first practice trial)
10 (9 more practice trial rows, deleted here)
19 instructions........3..............C................5000
20 red-chicken......19..............E............... 1205
21 blue-tense.......32...............C.................782
* (46 more actual trial rows, deleted here)
--------------------------------------------------
To clarify:
-The variable 'Trial Name' indicates nominally what stimulus was presented for each trial.
-The variable 'Trial No.', indicates the unique numerical marker for each stimulus word. (It probably should have been labeled 'Word Type'. It doesn't reflect the order of stimulus presentation. E.g., the word "tense" is always 'Trial No.' 32 for all participants, regardless of when it presents.)
-A subset of actual trial words (e.g., worried) were also used for the 10 practice trials. Thus, the 10 practice trials must first somehow be discarded or flagged to be ignored before calculating average reaction times for the remaining 48 actual trials.
I have an Excel 2003 program that contains macros. One of the macros hides certain command bars and disables the worksheet menu bar. On close the opposite is true. The problem is, if a user uses the disable macros when opening then the worksheet menu bar and other command bars are still available. I would like to hide all of the data sheets and display another sheet that would normally be hidden displaying a message that the macros have to be enabled for the program to work correctly if disable macros is chosen. When the enable macros are used I would like the Error page to be hidden.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a user that keeps a maintenance log in an Excel worksheet and sends an updated copy once a week to a board member. Two weeks ago, the board member started complaining that he was prompted to enable/disable macros on opening and became worried when my user stated that no macros were used in the book. He is now concerned that we have sent him a virus.
I know the file is clean because I've scanned it, and when I look at the file in VB, there are no modules or classes present just the Sheets 1-3 and the ThisWorkbook file. None of these objects have any code in them. My user does have some macros in PERSONAL.XLS but they are not used in the workbook in question.
No one else gets the prompt for enabling/disabling macros. Even if I set my security to prompt for any macros, I get no message. I'm convinced that there must be some setting in his Excel that is causing this individual to get this message. Is there anything else other than a macro that would cause this?
What is the commands or script for deleting a macro automatically using
another workbook macro.
Is there a way to hide a macro from the list where you choose which to run, but not in the VBA editor? The userbox I just created calls upon 2 different macros, and has a macro to bring up the userbox. I need a way to hide the macros in Module3 from selection, but keep the macros in Module4 available to choose to run.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to figure out the calculation steps that Goal Seek is doing behind the scenes so I can create the formula rather than clicking on goal seek whenever I need to make a change. I need to maintain certain weeks of supply every week depending on the sales. Let's say i want to maintain 5 weeks of supply every week, I would like to insert a column for "Suggested To Order' column that would change if weeks of supply goes below 5. In this scenario I would do a Goal Seek, but I want to automate the calculation so I don't have to do this step every week.

I have a workbook that I use for my purchase orders which is pretty simple. Each row is a separate PO, with 10 columns (po#, description, cost, date, etc.).
Is there a way to automatically generate new workbooks that contain all of the info from each individual row? For example: if I have 100 rows on my spreadsheet, which means I've issued 100 POs, then I want to have 100 individual xls workbooks, with the filename for each workbook representing the PO #s (206904.xls, 206905.xls, etc.).
Dont know if this is possible. I have a spreadsheet where cell A1 contains a value which is not fixed and can change daily, the value can increase and decrease. At present at each month-end I manually record the position of cell A1 at month end in cells C1 through C12 repsenting the 12 months of the year.
Example:
A1 @ 31/01/07 = 50 therefore cell C1 = 50
A1 @ 28/02/07 = 45 therefore cell C2 = 45
and so on for 12 months
what I would like to do is automate this process to automatically capture the value at month end into cells "c" and once captured, the figure to remain absolute for that cell/month and to ignore changes in Cell A1 that may subsequently occur.
Could this be done by date formula?
I have a VBA Macro that starts with a user form that gives me two options. I always need the same option selected, so is there a way to automate this?

When I save an Excel workbook, I would like to automate it to also save as a web page in 3 different locations (and automatically close after save as a web page). I would like to be able to automate the save as a web page in the 3 different locations and close these web pages. But my Excel workbook (which I have saved as an .xls) I will close manually.
One location to save the web page would be on my desktop and the other 2 locations would be on different shared drives. Can this be done with ******* event or something?
My goal is to automate an excel userfrom. So from outside of excel, i would look to be able to interact with the controls (simply fill in a textbox for example). I'm thinking this may be possible using windows API (user32) and system hooks, but not entirely sure where to start.
I saw this previous thread, that suggests it may not be possible :

I work in the accounting department. We have an excel workbook for each account with sheets for every month. These sheets contain a template with pre-formulated cells.
For example, the 2010 workbook for account XYZ will have sheets named - Jan 10, Feb 10, Mar 10 and so on.
What we do, is move and copy the previous month sheet, and rename it to the current month.
But each person is responsible for over 100 accounts, so it becomes rather tedious.
So I wrote a code which would automate this process.......
I have Adobe 6 and would like to automate the printing of Worksheets to PDFs using coding.
I want to control the location of the output i.e. specific directory. I can do this manually by selecting File...Print Select the Adobe PDF printer....go into options and deselect view PDF results. On printing I then get asked to soecify a location and all works fine....but how can I do this in code.
Unfortunately it also appears that when you restart Excel, the printer properties for the Adobe PDF printer are reset.
How can I code in the change in properties so that I can fully automise this task?
I'm trying to automate unzipping many .gz files on a monthly basis. Previously I used a macro a coworker wrote to do the unzipping using winzip (think he may have used some code snippets from this forum for it - seems like several sites have similar code shown in different postings). But now my office has switched over to pkware's SecureZIP, I can no longer use winzip, and my coworker has moved on. Can I manipulate that old code to work with SecureZIP somehow?

View 6 Replies View Relatedwhere to start with automating a monthly report that I put together.
My report is generated from two or three tables of data - roughly 25,000 records.
Currently, I copy and paste this table of data into one worksheet, and then have pivot tables that are written to take data from this table (this is a typical marketing sales funnel - calls, raw leads, qualified leads, customers, revenue). Then I have another worksheet that is the display to the client, with the proper formatting, mathematical calculations, totals etc. On this client facing worksheet, I pull data from the pivot table (using =GETPIVOTDATA formulas).
It seems that I have constructed this report in a very inefficient way because I have a ton of manual work to do every month to make the client view presentable as changes come about in the raw data. For instance I segregate the client facing report by lead sources, but when new lead sources get added in month by month, I have to edit the client facing report at length.
where to start, or what steps to make this more automated
I have a spreadsheet that I need one thing automated on it (for now). It is a tracking sheet for our QA coordinators. What happens is they have a list of medical charts that are incomplete, when they mark the column complete with an "x" then the cell that contains and "x" under the Team Leaders name should disappear.
I have a code similar but I don't know who to use and array in the code.
This is what I used to change the date of a fields automatically (I recieved this from someone on line here)
