Is it possible to create a macro that will update an existing workbooks' macro with additions/deletions/modifications. I have created a "multi-macro suite" which several of our facilites are going to use to track incoming material. Currently, making any changes requires me to travel to the facility and manually do any changes. I'm looking to develope a macro that will allow the end-user to update the file for me, when need be.
This is a relatively new area for me, I just recently learned how to use a macro to remove modules from other workbooks (Thanks Dave et al.). It's not a shot against them, but i don't have anyone I can rely on to perform the update for me at these facilities. A database is involved, so I can't just create a new workbook to replace the old, I need to keep the info.
I have several macros running on my workbook, referring to different cells. When I add/remove a row/column in my workbook, I need to manually update all cell references in the Excel macros so that they point at the correct cells after the new rows/columns have been inserted.
why I must update all cells, with formulas, manually after I do something with the workbook. I'll try to make an example.
If I make a macro that enters =sum("F1:F10") it says #NAME? when its done, but if I dubbleclick it and press enter it calculates the cell like its supposed to. I've tried to press alt + ctrl + F9, but that doesnt work.
Is there a command to dubbelclick the entire workbook and then press enter if you know what I mean?
I have a macro-based employee leave system that works by couting the number of days shaded with a certain colour and thus calculating leave days taken, remaining and entitled... I have a single workbook with multiple sheets for different employees.
However, when I update by using ctrl alt f9, it updates all the other worksheets (ignoring their shading) with the values of the active worksheet! So if I update Peter, who has taken 14 days so far, it will update Liam's sheet too, with 14 days, ignoring Liam's actual shaded days...
How can I update each sheet individually, without compromising the other sheets?
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.
I 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?
Let's say that in column A I have numbers,"Yes" and "No". I want in column B to have only the numbers from column A, in the same order without any empty ranges, and everytime I add in column A a new number, column B to update automatically with that number. Let's have an example:
A B Yes 12 12 13 No 10 13 No 10 Yes
And if I want to add in column A: A B Yes 12 12 13 No 10 13 25 No 15 10 Yes 25 15
So the column be will update automatically. I already tried =IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$10,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER($A$1:$A$10),ROW($A$1:$A$10)),ROWS(B$1:B1))-ROW($A$1)+1),") but using this many times get's my file very heavy and the excel is working slow.
I have some VB code which sequentially opens over 200 workbooks to extract data from each and populate another workbook. These workbooks do have links to other workbooks in them. For some reason when some of these workbooks are opened I get a requestor window asking whether I want to Update or Don't Update the data. I always want to Update the workbook and believe this can be done in VB by hiding the requestor?
I have a vlookup to another workbook. It works fine if both workbooks are open. But if both are not open and I open the workbook with the links and click Update, #VALUE! returns. I have attached the two files. I don't think it is my formula, but here it is anyway. =IF( COUNTIF([Tempozgrid.xls]June!$A$52:$A$83,A3),VLOOKUP(A3,[Tempozgrid.xls]June!$A$52:$L$82,12,FALSE),0)
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.
I have a basic formula =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'!C24, and I want to copy it down just using the drag function. Problem is that the second reference range of cells are in rows and hence when I copy it down it doesn’t automatically update the cell references because it want to update them by column number instead of row number. IE I want it to display =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'! D24, instead of C25. Do you know if there is any way of telling Excel that I want it to increase the column number by 1 every time, instead of the row number for this part of the formula?
I have been trying to remove or disable the message on update to other worksheet " To update all linked click yes......" I have try the following unsuccessfully
Sub auto_open() Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False End Sub
On the menu bar choose Edit ---> Links Can not choose manual, as the option is grey out (disable) I would prefer a vba solution, but I am open to anything to get rid of this message
I have two macros. Macros 1 opens another excel file, counts the number of rows it has, inserts that number of rows into the master file and then copies the data over. Key code as follows (x3 for 3 worksheets)... For k = 1 To numrows Selection.EntireRow.Insert Next k
Macros 2 'cleans' the appended data by systematically going through each row, checking if certain cells have data, and if not deletes the rows. Key code as follows (x3 for 3 worksheets)...
For l = lastrow To 12 Step -1 If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("B" & l & ":C" & l)) = 0 Then Rows(l & ":" & l).Select Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp edelrows = edelrows + 1 End If Next l
Here's the weirdness. macros 1 runs fairly quick the first time out (few seconds). Macros 2 takes about 2 minutes to run (which I'm fine with). However, when I run macros 1 AFTER running Macros 2, Macros 1 goes from taking a few seconds to a few minutes.
how to use excel 4 macros. I do not even know where to put them. I have inherited some spreadsheets that have both Xcel 4 Macros and vba macros in them. (Well, I get a warning that I cannot switch them off when I disable macros on opening a workbook). I cannot even find the offending version 4 macros so that I can re-code them in VBA.
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 currently volunteering for a small organisation. I have spent the last week designing a userform to be used by other staff members in their office. However, when I asked the manager 'Do you have Microsoft Office?', I got a very firm and definite 'yes' in response.
It turns out they are using LibreOffice, which is a free alternative. I have also tried to get my userform to work with Open Office - but cannot seem to get either to work.
I have changed the settings in both suites of software to 'Load/Save Basic Code' and enabled macros to run via the security options.
My userform is not that complex. I have limited knowledge of VBA and zero experience using Basic, so have come up stuck.
I need to write a macro whereby it queries a cell and if there is any value (it will be either blank or contain characters) in the cell a new row is to be inserted directly above the cell.
i need to develop a macro, which will change the color of the cell according to the value of the cell.
for example if a specific cell in the matrix has a negative value then the macro should change the color of the cell to blue. if its value is positive then the macro should change the color of the respective cell to red.
I've created an Add-in (.xlam file) in Excel 2007 and installed and activated it (it shows up under "Active Application Add-ins" on the Add-in menu for new workbooks). I can see the macros and code when I go to the VBA editor, but the macros don't show up in the regular macro list.
I know that I can write code for the new workbook that will reference the Add-in code, but I want other users to be able to install the add-in and run the macros in it right away without any knowledge of VBA. Is there a way to make this possible?
I have created a excel spread sheet to be set up like a schedule, including multiple macros through the sheet, when I started it put the macros into "Module 1", now if I wanted to use this same worksheet and copy it and create multiple sheets in one file via the tabs does it make a difference where the macros reside? if it remains in "Module 1" it will only be in one spot will this create problems later on or should the each reside in the sheet objects.
how do I use a macro across a spreadsheet?I can record a macro OK,but when I try to use it again on the same spreadsheet all I get is the macro calculating using the same data as when I recorded it.I have several groups of data across one spreadsheet and I want to use the same macro over the entire sheet.How do I do this?
I have a spreadsheet which I used in a previous job, which was set up by our old IT Department. Basically, it allows me to save information onto it, which I can then retrieve, (in any conditions/search fields i.e. in a date range etc) but the problem is; when I try to use it on my laptop, I look at the editor used for macros, I can see that the spreadsheet is linked to the servers of my old company. Therefore, I cannot use it myself
I do not know a lot about macros etc. but I can send a copy of the spreadsheet to anybody who is willing to help!
I think it is just a case of changing the macros/strings of where to draw and save information to/from, but I don;t know.
I probably have a odd request, but then I think I'm just different ?
I have an Excel Workbook with Col. A approximately 1/8" wide. The formatting of this col is that the cells are set to have the typing fit into the cell, therefore it becomes so small that no one can read it. Just what I wanted. If the user needs to read what's in the cell, they can click on the cell and read it in the formula bar.
Col. B is approximately 2" wide
1st, the user enters the Path and File name, with extension, into cell A34(example).
2nd, the user types in a File Name that they will best understand into cell B34.
The Workbook is now saved.
When the user wants to open that file, they click on the Name . . . Col B34 - Easily recognized by the user.
They then click either the Button that say's "Open Excel File" -or- "Open Word File.
The macro automatically moves the selection over to column A, then the file is opened.
Now what I need
I want to use just 1 button and I will name it "OPEN"
The 2 below macros work excellant and I still need the functionality of each. What I want is that 1st it trys to see if it is an excel file and if so, opens the file and stops.
If the macro determines that it is not an Excel file, the macro then goes to the Word macro and determines if it really is a Word file and if so, opens the file and stops.
NOTE: I want to point out that I still need all the checking etc that the 2 macros currently do.
