I'm just trying to figure out how to implment UDFs. I got a nice tool that provides linear interpolation for a data table. Unfortunately after saving, closing and opening the file the cells only show #NAME? in it. Do I have to activate macros or something like that?
View 9 RepliesI have an excel add-in which is a ribbon which houses a great deal of financial tools that I use on a regular basis so I don't have to hunt around excel for things I use regularly. The add-in has always loaded automatically whenever I opened excel - whether I opened excel by creating a new blank document or by double clicking a previously existing file.
Starting a few days ago though, the add-in only opens when opening excel by creating a new blank file. I can't think of anything that changed recently. Using Excel 2007.
Even when opening a file by double clicking, Excel still says the add-in is active (in excel options).

is it possible using vba ideally with a button marked save, to save a single worksheet and name it, in CSV format
Then I would like to be able to do the reverse load a CSV file back in to a work sheet
Expanding upon this
1. Click a command button with caption “save”
2. Take the name of a given sheet, in my case DataToUpLoad and append it with a number to give a sheet name of DataToUpLoad 1 the first time it is save and DataToUpLoad 2 the next time and so on
3. Click another command button with the caption “load” interact with usual dialog box.
My current work around is to copy a sheet open a new work book past the sheet in the save that work book as CSV
The reason this is required is to mate up with the php on the server side
I am using the following Macro to load a selected sheet:
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show
Windows("Prototype Worksheet.xls").Activate
Windows("Test Data.xls").Activate
Range("A1:U102").Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("Prototype Worksheet.xls").Activate
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("A1").Select
Windows("Test Data.xls").Activate
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveWindow.Close
This works fine as long as I load the file named Test Data, lolz, but on the line"Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show", I actually select the file to be loaded. how can and what should I change on the line "Windows("Test Data.xls").Activate" to achieve this
and also
at the very end of the macro I want to close the loaded file without the save box coming up.
I'm doing a Vlookup and when I copy down the formula Excel asks me to update the values by opening a new document. But this I can't or don't want to do - but I can't get rid of the box that asks me update the values with a new file.
How to remove this?
I have a macro-enabled template file in Excel 2007. I would like the user to be unable to save in any format other than macro-enabled. They should be free to choose a path and filename, but not the file type.
I presume this means some VBA code in the before save event, but I don't know what.
When I click on the "Office Button", then in the recent "documents dialog box" there is a list of my worksheets plus an "allsenatename" file". This then downloads a worksheet from a website. I don't know how it was added to my list, I must have entered it when looking at that web site in error.

View 4 Replies View Relatedi have a workbook that contained a single sheet, i ciopied this sheet and amended them accordingly (ie picking up different variables etc).
For some reason every now and again some of the cells on the sheets that are effectively copies of the original dont update, i literally have to click on them and hit Enter.
I know that calculation is switched on as automatic.
I added a combo box to each sheet of a workbook. Each box referenced a range within the sheet and linked to a cell on the sheet. Each box was tested and worked perfectly. Yesterday. On opening the book today, however, I've discovered each combo box is dead in the water. They are totally inactive and can't be activated in any way. I've checked the properties sheet for each and can't see anything out sorts. As a test, I added a new combo box to a sheet, and interestingly enough, it not only works fine, but also seems to have activated the original box, which also now works fine. Other boxes on the other sheets are still inactive, however.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am having a "cosmetic" issue that I was curious if I can fix it.. I have a workbook that opens a network workbook, saves some data to it, and then closes the network workbook.
Everything is working fine, except I cant get the code to "reactivate" the initial workbook. After excel saves and closes the 2nd workbook I opened, my screen stays on my desktop, instead of refocusing on the initial workbook. I have to manually click on the initial workbook in my taskbar to bring it back into focus...
I thought the below code would bring the inital workbook back into "focus" on the users screen, but it's not working.
Windows("NEWRightFit.xls").Activate
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Windows("sxssubmit.xls").Activate
Confirmation.Show
End Sub
I just moved the Application.ScreenUpdating line as initially I had it at the very bottom, but that did not correct. The confirmation.show is just a dialog box that informs the user the changes were saved successfully. I would like the first workbook "sxssubmit.xls" to come back into focus automatically though, without the user having to manually select it from the taskbar.
What is my code missing?
I use the 'on time' function to kick users out of a shared workbook after 30 minutes of inactivity (i.e. no cells updated). Technically it works, as it does kick out the users.
However the time after which it does so seems to bear no relation to the time I have instructed. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer! If it is was always longer, I would be happy that there is an error in my code somewhere (i.e. the time value is resetting on an unexpected event that I need to find and alter).
I need to grab data from one sheet while I'm in a different one - same workbook, however. From the first sheet, the data that I need would be an "activeCell.value" issue. From the other sheet, however, how can I get that cell's data - an "inactiveCell.value" call, in essence? Right now, I'm getting around it by assigning the value to a global variable but that seems wasteful.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to create ranges in a worksheet that is inactive.I have 3 sheets in the worksheet and i want, while the first sheet remains active, to create ranges in the second one.
I'm using the following code that creates no errors no matter how i use it but it works only if the second sheet is active.
In VBA, is there code to clear all filters from an inactive worksheet or does the worksheet need to be activated?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI open two spreadsheets only. In one of them I would like the filename of the other spreadsheet shown in cell A1.
The reason why is the filename is a 6 number date and I'd like to confirm it showing in full format.
CopyPaste operations leaves the goal range selected and I don't want that. The .Activate and .Select methods seem to require that the cell to be selected refers to the ActiveSheet.
What I'm doing now to change the active-cell is kind of:
1. Disable ScreenUpdating
2. Save a reference to ActiveCell
3. Activate the relevant goal-worksheet
4. Change the ActiveCell to the upper-left-cell of the Selection
5. Come back by the reference in point number 2
6. Enable ScreenUpdating.
It works, but seems to me as a huge job for something as simple than "collapsing" a multi-cell-selection. Another irritating problem is the slight screen-shaking caused by the disabling/enabling ScreenUpdating.
I tried to use Workbooks("Inactivebookname.xlsm").Close False

I am using PrimoPDF, as suggested elsewhere in the forum, to attach a PDF to an E:Mail and send it automatically, it works a treat ... however, I do have to manually intervene to click on the OK button & then again to click on YES when the filename is duplicate. I would like to automate these actions and am looking for a way to do it. It looked like the SendKeys command was perfect, but I'm not 100% sure how to do it. The PrimoPDF window is open, named as "PrimoPDF", but is not my active window, so I have put PrimoPDF.SendKeys "{Enter}"
... into the program but I am getting the error message "Run Time Error '424': Object required". Is this something to do with my code ? I am guessing that the program isn't recognising that PrimoPDF is an open & inactive window, so am I missing a prefix here or is it something more serious, like having to add a new Component or Additional Controls ?
I have a button that has a macro asigned to it. i don't want it to be active
or able to run unless it sees data in cell D25.
I tried to save a macro but it doesn't work (I am inexperienced!).
What I need is to copy five columns (e.g. range C:G) and copy it in another sheet ('1' range C:G). Subsequently, I have to copy the next range of five columns available (i.e. range H:L) and copy it in the consecutive sheet (i.e. '2' range C:G), and so on.
I have a drop down lets say in cell A1. Based on what value is selected in A1, the user should see a different set of check boxes. My thought, which may not be the best way to implement this, is to have all the check boxes and depending on the value selected in A1, the check boxes that are relevant should be active or visible, while the unneeded ones are inactive or invisible.
