I have a Workbook with multiple PivotTables which are feed from an external data cube. I need to update all of this Pivotables to the same date through VBA. The date will be a known variable and it corresponds to the "Periodo" field. I had thought of doing this by having the date stored in a cell of maybe with a calendar pop-up
View 8 RepliesI need to have multiple (up to 6) pivot tables on the spreadsheet with shared external data source. As a data source i have a csv file. Also, i need to be able to load data file on demand. I have created a button on the sheet that would load File dialog and let user select whatever csv data file they need. Then the idea was to update pivot cache connection and command properties using VBA with new file name. Here is the code :
Dim pc As PivotCache
Set pc = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches(1)
Dim ODBC_CONNECT_STRING As String
' FullFilename is a new absolute path to selected csv file
ODBC_CONNECT_STRING = "ODBC;DBQ=" & FullFilename & ";" & _
"DefaultDir=" & FullFilename & ";" & _
"Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};" & _
"DriverId=27;FIL=text;MaxBufferSize=2048;MaxScanRows=8;PageTimeout=5;" & _
"SafeTransactions=0;Threads=3;UserCommitSync=Yes;".................
i got a "Runtime Error '5'" when i want to create a second PivotTabel from a PivotCache Object (the same)... My code is this:
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 2 excel tables that are frequently edited on a laptop and saved to a Dropbox folder. What I would like to do is have a second computer that will have these tables open and constantly updates (periodically or when changes are made). This computer and monitor will serve as a display in a common area (think of it kind of like a flight tracker).
What I have tried: I have tried to enable the Shared Workbook with a refresh of 5 minutes but the display computer is not showing the changes. I would like to make it refresh every minute if a periodic refresh is possible.
Note: It is my understanding that if you reopen the file, the data will update so maybe there is a way to have the file reopen every few minutes? I was able to successfully test this method; If I am able to automate this process without the two excel sheets changing the window positions (using a Workspace file perhaps) it would be perfect.
I'm looking to create a refresh/update button for my userform. What I have is various textboxes, of which the last textbox contains input from the other textboxes. For example, I have 3 textboxes. The first one contains months, the second contains years, the third pulls from both the first two.
First: August
Second. 2009
Third: August 2009
What I need is if I change the text in either the first or second textbox, I can click the refresh button and it'll update the third box.
I have created a macro to insert a template worksheet (qm.xlt) into a workbook (wb.xls).
Sub Test_InsertXlt()
Sheets.Add Type:="qm.xlt", After:= ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.count)
End Sub
The template has cells which contain formulas which lookup values in another sheet in the workbook (configData).
For example: template cell F20 has the formula
=VLOOKUP($C20,ConfigData,8,0)
Once the template worksheet is inserted into the workbook, its cell values remain "#Name", which corresponds to a "Error 2029" in the code.
If I manually edit the cell (F2) and then hit 'Enter', the cell value is updated correctly. My question is :how can I do this via code/macro?
I have a program which iterates on command. A plot on the spreadsheet is designed to show the progress of the iteration. However, the plot does not update while VBA is running. What is the command or technique to refresh the plot at an intermediate stage in the calculation?

I am bringing data in from an ODBC database, I am using ActiveSheet.QueryTables(1) and then .refresh.
I want to run a sub after the data has been brought in which finds the last row and adds a formula.
The problem I have is that the data brought in is not show on the screen until all of the macros are finished.
Is there a way of forcing the screen to update?, I have tried the recalculate and refreshall commands or is there another method I should be using?
Sub autofill()
Dim myobj As Object
If ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Count > 0 Then
Call clearscreen
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set myobj = ActiveSheet.QueryTables(1)
I require the data to be on the screen before I can find the last row used which is done in "addmaths"?
I have a spreadsheet pulling data through from Access (in a Pivot Table format), but Excel inserts the string "(blank)" for empty fields. How can I stop this, and have Excel leave them truly blank?

The code below enables entire workbook protect/unprotect, however ultimately it refreshes a particular sheet (sheet 8 in this instance) when the relevant data table is edited.
I have 7 sheets (one is the data table and the other 6 house pivots that work off this data table). What I want to happen is for the code to enable the unprotect, refresh and protect of all the sheets exactly like it does for the current sheet 8 (I am simply new to this an am unsure of how to write the code to make the refresh happen for all sheets).

I have a query with ODBC connection to a SQL database. This query's parameter is linked to a cell. The resultant data is the source for a pivot table. I want to refresh the pivot table, when the query is run. I've tried using the cell that triggers the query....but the problem is that the query takes about 10 seconds to run. By the time the query returns new data....the pivot has already refreshed. I need it to refresh AFTER the query is complete.
I tried adding a cell that sums up the data from the query...thinking when THAT changes (due to updated data), to trigger the pivot refresh. Problem is that I don't know the trigger for when the sum cell changes (ie....formula change, not typed in.)
i have an excel spreadsheet with 27 or so workeets. it contains sales figures in it.
I want to be able to link mutiple cells of this workbook to another workbook so that it retreives that data, So that when I hit the refresh (!) button it will automatically put the data in. I will recieve new sales figures (new files) on a monthly basis so i want it to be able to update the figures to the new figures.
I've got a spreadsheet with a few queries to extract data into my sheet. Whenever I open the spreadsheet, I get a "query refresh" dialog box, asking if I want to "Enable automatic refresh". I keep clicking on the "Enable" button but I have to keep answering the question for each open. Isn't there a way to set "yean - ok - refresh the data" so that I don't have to keep saying "yes"?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAnyway, I have 70 Sheets ( Tabs ) which when i'm finished will have the same cells in the same location of each sheet, referring back to a different line in a Data sheet at the beginning.
IN order for me to get there i need to edit each of the relevent cells but changing the formula so that it reads the next line down. I was thinking i could maybe get a macro whicle will increment each of the formula cells contained with a Named Range, this would make it more accurate than using the Find/Replace method of updating the formula's on a per cell basis....
I 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 userform I attached here with 3 combo boxes where a user can pick districts and schools, etc. When they click ok, the various tabs in this macro enabled workbook will "refresh" with the metrics for that entity)combination of picks from form) across the board. Each tab will have multiple pivot charts/tables so the filters will need to be addressed. I've been looking for code to kind of match this scenario. I've seen some that kind of in the ballpark, but due to the size and complexity, I suspect this will be extensive, right?

I've a workbook and it has two sheets. Suppose, I want to link A1(sheet1) and a1(sheet2). If I update any of the cells in any of the sheets the other one will be updated automatically. How can this be possible? Or are there any other alternatives?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm in need of some VBA code to control the updating of information from 16 active workbooks to a master workbook and vise versa. I would like it on command as it slows down the use of the workbooks when they calculate after every change of data as they are being used. These workbooks are connected over a company intranet and are used 24/7.
The desire is that cells in the master workbook will read specific cells on each of the other workbooks and complete a "map display" of the data. The data is not in a column or row range side by side but scattered across the sheet to form a map when data is entered.
I've tried using code to open and close the workbook with on time events but that hasn't worked.
I have 30 workbooks closed and i want update a cell (f.e. b4) in all the workbooks.
Need code to open the files, update the data in that cell and close the workbook.
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.

I have ~ 300 pivots (one on each tab) all linking to one data set in the same workbook. I realized that I neglected to select the year 2006 in my column label for every pivot table and hoping that there is some way to

I'm trying to update a pivot table filter with a list on another worksheet. When I do a record and select two WBS for filter criteria I get the following:

If I entered values 700UY0S1MGL1 & 700UY0S1MGL2 in cells A1 and A2 of Sheet2 in the same workbook, how can I get this code to read that? If I extend the list to include additional items, how can I get the code to read it?
My next question is, in Excel I could enter a partial search (like 700UY0S1MG) in the filter drop down and I could filter on everything with this string. Using the macro it seems as though the full 12 char string needs to be qualified. How would I write a macro to handle this?
The spreadsheet is comprised of 4 sales data sheets, one for each store. Each of these sales data sheets runs several pivot tables (One for dept sales, one for waste, one for sales on Selected UPCs etc) and I used to have 1 copy of each pivot table for each store (ie 24 pivot tables). Now I have found a way to have only 1 copy of each PivotTable which changes based on which store is selected using the following code:
Code:
Sheet13.PivotTables ("Top10LW").PivotTableWizard SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
.List(.Value)
This works great however I was repeating it for every pivot table I had in the spreadsheet, causing messy code and file corruptions.
Is there any code which I can use for updating all pivot tables, using as minimal code as possible, all in one hit?
Excel – Forms – Combo Box, cell updating.
I have a form (the main one) which accesses a second form, which accesses a third form. All forms have a combo box, control button and a text box.
The items selected in the control boxes are entered into cells (the base cells) in the spreadsheet, via “Control Source”. The text boxes access these cells and show the selected items, which are then copied to other cells via a macro on activating the control button in the main form.
The main form stays open while other items are selected and transferred. Some of the items may not be changed (reselected) as they may be common. The problem is that after a number of items have been selected and transferred, the base cells for the second and third text boxes do not update after a selection from the combo boxes, and they continue to show a previously selected item.
The problem can be solved by closing the 2nd and 3rd forms and starting again. What can I do keep the cells updating without closing the form down?
in A1 there will be a box with LinkedCell set to A1 and ListFillRange set to B1:B5. I now want a similar box in A2, with A2 as LinkedCell. However, when I copy paste the box in A1, it still refers to A1 and B1:B5 (the last part is ok). I can easily change A1 to A2 by just changing it in the properties, but the thing is that I also need these boxes in A3:A100. Someone else helped me out by writing some code, but this is not working correctly yet, probably because I'm doing something wrong.
Also, the ListFillRange might expand in the future. Therefor I would like to know if its possible to select the boxes in A1:A100 and change the ListFillRange to B1:B6 for all at once, or even have a piece of code attached to a command button that recognizes the expanded range and updates it.
I couldn't attach the file because it was to big, therefor I uploaded it with yousendit:
[url]
So in short: I would like all the comboboxes in column E to be linked to the cell underneath and have and option to adjust the listfillrange. The same for column F, but for this one the listfillrange needs to be O8:O11.
