I have a workbook with several worksheets and numerous userforms, commandbuttons and macro's. I want to prevent people from saving over the workbook once they have used it, but allow save as using a different workbook name.
I tried saving the book as .xlt, but then when I reopen it and make material changes, it lets me save over it. I have't worked with templated before, is there something I am doing wrong?
I have searched for a while on VLOOKUP (something I'm not very familiar with but and trying to become more so), And if this wasnt such a time sensitive project I would continue to search. In one sheet, there is a column which includes employee #'s, the next column over is the employee names, next is salary. On another sheet I put a drop down box where you can select the employee number. In the cell next to that I would like to have the employees name come up as well as the salary in the next cell over....something like this
Name Salary
Dropdown w/#'s
Taken from
Emp# EmpName EmpSalary
23123 Joe Smith $50,000
Is this the right time for vlookup...there are almost 1000 names in this sheet?...
I have this formula -
=SUMPRODUCT(('[Australia Load Tracker - March 2014 - V2.xlsm]QA'!$E:$E=B4)*('[Australia Load Tracker - March 2014 - V2.xlsm]QA'!$D:$D=$A$2))
Which works perfectly if A2 has the cell value 24/03/2014 however, if i put in $A$2 this value
="02"&"/"&$XFC$1&"/"&"14", where XFC$1 equals =IF(XFD1>9,XFD1,"0"&XFD1) and XFD1 = =MONTH(TODAY())
Which in basic term gives the month value "03"
The cell shows the value 24/03/2014 however does not work with the sumproduct.. is there anyway to get sumproduct to read this cell value as 24/03/2014 as the whole point is so every month I don't have to update anything and it will constantly update...
The only alternative i can think of is quickly making a VBA script to hardcode the cell values for the dates and change the month value for the middle of the cells every month.
How do I use Find to locate the first occurence of a particular value in a cell, and return the row that the cell is in?

I 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?
Where can I obtain some working examples or explanations as to what, where, when, why, and how these Public and Private Sub are correctly implemented? I see these code used extensively but not sure why it's there yet. A macro which uses a Private Sub is in one of my workbooks. Due the "progress" of things from here I now need to move to the next curios level of understanding Macro and VB coding.

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.

Template.xlsx‎
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.
Can someone explian to me this line of code in eglish specially after the .Count /14-1

We have huge restrictions on hours, and to avoid inputting, then revising the schedule into my companies scheduling module, then having to change it again when the boss looks it over, it's just confusing.
Anyway, I'll get to the point, I want to add the hours up in a row of cells for the week sunday through saturday. Like so:
1100-2100 | 1100-2100 | OFF | 1100-2100 etc... I want it to add these cells hours up and have the total end up in the 8th cell.
Is this possible? I am a new excel user, or at least, setting up my own sheet.

I made a thread about this last week but I don't think I was very clear about what wanted so now I'm going to describe it more in detail.
I work at a place that takes care of boats and also offers to store them during the winter. Now I have created a template which consists of one work order and one invoice so when a new customer arrives I open up my template and fill out the work order. But then when the customer comes back next year and wants something else done with his boat I need a new work order but in the same document. So I need to add another work order as a new sheet. The only way I can think of now is to copy an old work order and then paste it but that would take too long time to do every time and I would also have to change the width of all columns. So my question is: Is there some easier way to do this? Basically what I want is a quick way to add either a work order or an invoice as a new sheet.

I do not want the user to be able to change the workbook.
I will put a small macro to export any specific sheet which the user can change into to a new workbook.
For the main file (which the user can interact with, but is not allowed to overwrite), what is the concensus- make it Readonly or save as a template?
I think the template option looks quite fancy. I also think, but I'm not sure, that a ReadOnly can be undone by the user?
I'm leaning towards template format, but I don't really know it. Are there any significant disadvantages?
I recently deployed a single-page spreadsheet intended to be added to existing workbooks (it generates a hiearchical view of pricing in a WBS structure), and it includes some UDFs and subs.
I was hoping I could save it as a tempate, but when inserted as a template, it didn't bring along its code module. I ended up instructing someone to copy the sheet to the intended workbook, and had them open the VBE to drag the module over. There is surely a better way!
I would prefer not to train people to use add-ins or mess with Personal.xls.
Somehow I have changed a default setting that I cannot figure out how to change back. I have various templates setup in a "Forms" folder. Normally I go to My Documents, find the template file and double click on it, and the appropriate program (usually either Excel or Word) starts and opens a copy of the template as a document. What happens now is that the program starts and the template itself opens. I have tried going to My Documents and right clicking on the file and what appears to be happening is that the default (highlighted) option is "Open" instead of "New" which is what the default used to be. How do I change it back?--

I have a template (attached) that needs to be populated. It's objective is to determine the QUARTER and YTD based on MONTH. For example, there's a M shown for the month Jul, Q also shown for the month Jul (since current month is Jul, current quarter month is only Jul and not Jul, Aug & Sep), and all months up to the current month shows Y for the year row. The above is currently done manually. I need a formula that will fill in the Q and Y's automatically based on the M. Is it possible?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a template that I use to determine interest calculations (it is based on simple daily interest, but monthly compounding and adjusts for any variations in interest rates during the month), and it seems to work fine so far.
However, I am trying to make it better and would like to eliminate as much manual input as possible. I have attached an example of the template to help explain what I would like to achieve
The Running Balance is dependant on column "J" - Interest for the Month. At the moment, I am manually adding up interest accumulated for the month, however if I add one cell too high or miss a cell when adding, it can lead to compounded problems further down. So in short I am looking for a method that would automatically calculate "interest for the month" by adding all the amounts in column "I" (Interest Daily) at month end for that month only (dates are entered in Column B)
In the attached template, grey areas indicate capital movements and/or interest rate changes that may occur during a month (ie movement in the month in question that affects the daily interest calculated)
I hope I've covered everything!
Any help in this regard comes most appreciated. If anything is unclear, I will do my best to explain what I am trying to achieve in greater detail.

I have a workbook that has a total of 128 pages. The problem is that a lot of those pages won't be used. Basically I have a sheet that needs to be filled out for each day up to around 30 days, sometimes more, most times less.
Currently I have created all the sheets that I will typically need (31 daily's, 31 daily printable reports).
Data is entered into the daily (and other spots) and then with the use of formulas transferred to the report sheet which is hidden and then printable with the use of macros.
I also need to withdraw some of this information (CSV File) to be able to populate a database.
Is it possible to have my "daily" page as a template and then create the subsequent pages as I need them? (this would have to be done with a bunch of other report pages as well). For ease of use I would need all the formulas etc that I currently have to be able to be "created" as well. As an example, there is a running total of costs associated with the "daily" pages that would need to be carried forward.
I have a template and several spreadsheets based on this template, and when changes are made to the template they need to be manually merged into each spreadsheet, a very painstaking, time consuming, and error prone process. Changes are mostly added rows, data tables, and macro (coding) changes. Surely there must be a better way of doing this. There must be some way of automating at least part of this process, or so I would think. I know that changes to a workbook can be tracked, but I don't shows changes to code, and I don't know if it is true for templates as well (but I suspect that it is); at least this would show me what changes to the template had been made, but maybe not changes to the code, but this is only a small part of the problem.
