View 9 RepliesIn order to do the tests, I'm using 2 simplified workbooks (test_copy and test_paste).
What I'd like to be able to do, once I click a button UPLOAD (creating the button isn't the problem), is to go to the first cell from workbook test_copy, check if that code is already on test_paste and if not add it to the bottom of the list, repeating the same cycle for each code on the workbook test_copy.
The orders of the codes might change on both workbooks differently depending on the way the columns are sorted. That is why I believe that for each code in test_copy I need to check the entire column in test_paste to check if the code already exists.
At the end of the routine, on the example below, we would have the codes 2670, 2676 and 2626 added to the end of the list on test_paste.

I created a form and the values that it takes are Date, Issue, Name, Team Member and Cause.
I use a Production Support Report (workbook that I don't want open for people to see) and it will have tabs for each month ie; January
how can I without opening Production Support Report grab the values from the form then update the Production support report by finding the months sheet and sticking the values at the last row.
I have a weekly report which lists items and their available date. This list is always changing - new items added, old items removed. These items are required for 4 different projects and the item listed says which project the item date is for. There is also the same item across different projects which also have different dates which also appear and disappear each week depending on requirements.
I want to be able to capture the date for each of the items per project per week. Ultimately, I want to be able to track the movement of the date per item per project. I have attached a sample of how I want it to do.
I have one source spreadsheet, where are columns NAME, DATE. I read these data by ADO to other spreadsheet, where I can change/delete data and then run macro for update data in source spreadsheet. The problem: In source spreadsheet is column "NAME" and column "DATE", with values e.g. "Joseph"; 1.1.1980. I read this data to other spreadsheet, then I delete in it value 1.1.1980. When I run macro Update, it messages error.
Sub UpdateItem
...
.Fields.Item(1).value = activecell 'activecell value = "Joseph"
If Not isempty(activecell.offset(0,1)) Then
.Fields.Item(2).value = activecell.offset(0,1).value
Else
.Fields.Item(2).value = "" 'I tried Empty and 0 too but when I read data again then, it displays 0.1.1900, nothing works
End If
...
End Sub
It seems that in source spreadsheet has data in column "Date" format Date and when I try to update data in format String ("") in source spreadsheet by Update macro, it messages error. When I used
.Fields.Item(2).Value = Empty
' or
.Fields.Item(2).Value = 0
after rereading data it displays 0.1.1900 What I want to get is that if the cell with date (in other spreadsheet) is empty, the cell in column Date in source spreadsheet after updating will be blank (contains no values).
I am working with multiple workbooks with several tabs in each one. I need the forumula to update the "sheet name" from the source workbook even if the destination workbook is closed.
this is a portion of the forumula I am working with:
=SUM(IF(AND([L2_EI_Phase_II_monitoring_workbook.xlsx]Sheet25!$I$4>=182,[L2_EI_Phase_II_monitoring_workbook.xlsx]Sheet25!$I$4=182,
[L2_EI_Phase_II_monitoring_workbook.xlsx]Sheet26!$I$4=182,
[L2_EI_Phase_II_monitoring_workbook.xlsx]Sheet27!$I$4
I have used the function = now() to have the most updated time but it updates a workbook when I open it in the first place. How I can avoid this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have 1150 workbooks with two sheets each. The workbooks are all named with employee names (SNUFFY,JOE.xlsx etc). The sheets in each workbook are for different years. Both sheets in each workbook are set up the same. The only differences are the values in cells. I just made another workbook where column A is a list of all 1150 employee names (SNUFFY,JOE etc). I want column B for each employee to show the values in say sheet 1 cell G1 of that employee's individual workbook, and column C to show the value in sheet 2 cell G1. How do I make that happen?

I have attached a workbook that I want to be updated by the user. It contains a number of vlookups that to refer to a data source on a server communal to all users. I wondered if there would be anything that could be done in the workbook to help speed up an update?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhat I'd like to have is one workbook, that 2 people can open and both people will see all changes that happen to the workbook.
As an example, there would be a Player 1 sheet and a Player 2 sheet. When you open the workbook you choose which Player you are and then it defaults to your sheet. You can then place your ships and start the game.
Each player would take it in turns to guess a square on the opponents board and then this selection would be sent to the other players sheet and updated automatically.
Most of it I think is quite easy to do - the only tough part being the updating process. Could I do it as 2 workbooks one for each player, (password protected to stop cheating!) and then when a move is made both workbooks are closed, the change is made and saved and the workbooks are re-opened?
I have a mother worksheet with all the employee in the first column and lots of other data in the other columns. Every month I receive another worksheet with the overtime, delay an absense of some of the employee in the past month.
Is there a way to update the mother worksheet not manually? Only the first column contains the same kind of data in both the worksheets. For example, the especific entries that I want to update are in the column "Y" in the mother worksheet and in column "C" in the other one.
1) If a worksheet is shared - is it not possible to edit it or make changes to certain fileds like drop down menu? eg call tracker.
2) Is it possible to have say 4 worksheet (call tracker) opened in 4 machines by 4 diffrent people - In such a way that whenever & whatever one person enters a data in his worksheet the data gets recorded in a common worksheet in say a fifth machine - however the data entered by all 4 people should get recorded in a systamatc manner without any overlapping. so that a fifth person sitting and viewing on the fifth machine can monitor the data real time. If yes how? I am a novice at excel.

I have one spreadsheet indexed to another. When one user opens their s/s and changes a value and then closes it I need the other s/s to update once they open and refresh.
I have a workbook that has many cells that link to a server on the other side of the planet. If I manually open this workbook I get the "This workbook contains links to other data sources." And the option to "Update" or "Don't Update"
If I choose to not update, everything works great. If I choose to update, the worksheet takes 10-15 minutes to open. I have tried to go to tools-->options-->Edit and uncheck "ask to update automatic links" but this makes the default behavior updating. I want to open this workbook using a scheduled task and a batch file, and have it not update, and then run a macro. Any suggestions on how to do this?
Is it possible for the INDIRECT function to be tweaked so it updates even when the external workbook is closed?
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have faced a need to update several worksheets with the same format at once, like with copy paper, when i enter data in the first worksheet.
I have pre made worksheets that are identical by format.
There are probably many way to achieve what i want, but i need to find the easiest, less memory consuming method to do it.
I have a sheet, call it a Master Sheet, where column A either has the word LOAD or DISCH in each cell descending. Each row has pertinent information in it that ranges from A1:L1.
If A1 contains LOAD how can I get that particular row to go to another worksheet called LOAD or another sheet called DISCH same range. I want to use only the Master Sheet without having to copy and paste from one sheet to another.
How can I ensure that a cell (A1) is defaulted to the current date each time the file (in which the cell resides) is opened.
A1 is a field of a form in which the user can enter a date. I would like it to default to the current date each time the file is opened.
I have code that links my existing workbook to a closed workbook. It works as planned but it goes to far. In my first workbook, the one containing the code, I may have up to 30 worksheets. If I am on Sheet5 I may need to run the vba code to update cells X:X only on Sheet5 but instead it updates cells X:X on all Sheets in the workbook. How can I keep this from happening?
I have asked this on another forum but it seems to be a difficult thing, perhaps impossible thing to keep from happening.
Worksheet1 is modified on computer A. Worksheet1 is open on computer B. The instant something changes on Worksheet1 on computer A, Worksheet1 on computer B is updated.
Idea 1:Maybe worksheet1 on computer B could be opened read-only and then the notify feature could be used to trigger a macro in worsheet1 on computer B. By notify I am talking about the box that pops up when a user has finished modifying a worksheet to let you know you have read/write access.
Idea 2: Could all cells in worksheet1 on computer B be linked to all cells in worksheet1 on computer A and automate the updating somehow this way?
I have multi- sheet workbook that opens to a specific ws and to a specific cell.
Application.Goto Reference:=Worksheets("Menu").Range("A1"), _
One of the several ws is a form; when the user saves it, all other ws are deleted and the wb is saved as a new file name. (Need to retain other macros for future functionality, seems easiest to just delete the unneeded sheets).
Is their a way to modify the sheet reference from "menu" to "sheet-name" (will be a constant). Because it is likely that additional sheets will be added in the future to this new wb, I'd like for it to open to a specific ws.
As my VBA skills are "in development" (basement level, just now), please provide a complete answer (assuming this can be done).
I have a cell which uses part of the name of the workbook. This name is updated everytime I activate the sheet with this code (in the worksheet code section):
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Range("Workbook_Name").Value = ""
If Mid( ActiveWorkbook.Name, 34, 1) > "" Then
Range("Workbook_Name").Value = Mid(ActiveWorkbook.Name, 23, 12)
End If
End Sub
Workbook_Name is a named range for the cell in which I want the truncated portion of the file name to appear.
Is there anyway to trigger an update using vba with the SaveAs event?

I have a workbook that links out to numerous other workbooks for current data. After one of the supporting workbooks gets up dated, I return to the master workbook.
Here, I need to see the updated results. The only way that I can find a way of updating the master is to close and save it and then re-open.
Is there a way of updating the master workbook using a macro?
I have 3 sheets: 1: master entry sheet that fills data in 5 different excel docs. Then there is another doc that aggregates data from the 5 and presents totals on the data. I am trying to get the end result without having to have 7 different excel files open, but when I enter into the master entry sheet, the data doesn't seem to be "pushed" up to the 5 different docs until each one is opened up. Obviously, the master aggregator is not updated since the 5 don't have the new data. When the files are all opened at the same time, the data flows perfectly, I'm just trying to find a way to avoid having to open the 5 docs in the middle of the process.

On Event open workbook (wookbook A)
For worksheets 3 though to worksheet 9 and only columns D, E, F, G, H , I and J, and only rows 4 through to 35 auto update from a source workbook
Note 1: - as you will see in Wookbook A in the attached demo test zip file that row range 4 to 35 varies on each worksheet as the number of towns columns varies on each worksheet. So on one worksheet it might be row 4 to row 12 requiring update whereas on another worksheet it could be row 4 to up to row 35.
Note2: –the source workbook is a closed /non active workbook on another server in my network –path is X/sourcefiles/weeklydate/countfile.xls. In the source workbook the source is sheet 1.
Only update when there is a match of string of the place location name which are ALL listed in column C of the source worksheet –matched to that of string place location names in workbook A in their respective worksheets 3 through to worksheet 9. Then when there is a match – copy the content of the cells that correspond to the place location names in the source workbook (countfile.xls) from the columns D, E, F, G, H, I, and J.
Note 3. The way in which the source countfile works is that each week it will be updated with values/figures starting with column D in week 1 and column E in week 2 and column F in the third week and so on…..In the first week only column D will have values/ figures and the other columns will be empty – and second week only columns D and E will have values/figures – to make the code easy it would be OK to copy across the other columns when they are empty – thus leaving the other columns in workbookA also empty. So in week two when workbook A is opened and is updated from the source file with values/figures for workbook A’s columns D and E of worksheets 3 through to 9 the other columns F, G H, I and J on those worksheets would have only be empty cells or just not updated at all –as the source file at that time would have had only two weeks of figures entered.
Also copy across the column headings in row 4 for columns D, E, F, G, H, I , and J as those headings may change as they are dates.
The final bit that is important part of this is that as worksheet A is updated the formula in column K it will need to auto update as well as it is the initial figures in column D minus the figures in the most recent column updated – so if column G is updated today the formula needs to be =D5 – G5 and =D6-G6 and so on whereas when updated next week the formula would need to change to =D5 – H5 and =C6-H6 and so on.
