Auto Save Shared Workbook And Update Display?
Jun 7, 2013We are currently utilizing a shared workbook (yes, I've read the inherent problems with this). This workbook needs to automatically save any changes and refresh itself every minute. We are seeking an answer to this goal, perhaps utilizing VBA code ?
We have researched the forums and attempted numerous snippets of VBA code and different settings already available in Excel (ver 2010) without success. And, we have tried using the Advanced Settings (Shared Workbook / Advanced Settings (5 mins)) .... however the display of newly added data is not updated on all viewing terminals unless we close the shared workbook on those viewing terminals and then re-open.
Workspace (XLW) Hiding Top Workbook
May 30, 2011I regularly utilize .xlw files to open sets of workbooks all at once. Usually, they're made up of 10-15 workbooks, using the cascade arrangement.
Problem is, each time I re-open my .xlw file, the workbook that was supposed to be in the top is hidden. If I re-configure and re-save the .xlw file, the top workbook still disappears.
If I open the native file for the top workbook, it is not hidden when I open it.
Macro Creating Workspace .xlw
Jul 29, 2006I have a macro that opens XL workbooks runs a macro, closes the workbook and opens the next workbook until completed, this is all fine.
Now for some reason and it has me stumped it is creating a file called RESUME.XLW a workspace , my problem is how do i stop this from being created i have not programmed it nor want it, it seems to be some automated thing i have never seen before and it is driving me balmy.
Update Time And Date When I Update Data Not When I Open A File
Sep 5, 2008I 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?

Oct 18, 2013Let'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$1)+1),") but using this many times get's my file very heavy and the excel is working slow.
Stop Update / Don't Update Requestor Message
Oct 27, 2008I have some VB code which sequentially opens over 200 workbooks to extract data from each and populate another workbook. These workbooks do have links to other workbooks in them.
For some reason when some of these workbooks are opened I get a requestor window asking whether I want to Update or Don't Update the data. I always want to Update the workbook and believe this can be done in VB by hiding the requestor?
Update Links And Click Update, Returns #VALUE!
Jun 21, 2007I have a vlookup to another workbook. It works fine if both workbooks are open. But if both are not open and I open the workbook with the links and click Update, #VALUE! returns. I have attached the two files. I don't think it is my formula, but here it is anyway. =IF( COUNTIF([Tempozgrid.xls]June!$A$52:$A$83,A3),VLOOKUP(A3,[Tempozgrid.xls]June!$A$52:$L$82,12,FALSE),0)

Jan 7, 2007I am designing a workbook that techs in my lab can use from any of our network computers to submit requests for making chemical solutions they need to run their tests. Currently they have to fill out a paper form to make the request, so this should make things a little more efficient and less paper intensive.
I have the workbook designed and working, but now need to implement it as a shared file and this is where the problems are occurring. I assumed that shared files could allow access to the same file AT THE SAME TIME with no issues, but that is not the case in Excel97 on our network. Using two networked computers side by side I have tried updating the shared file at the same time and got a myriad of popups. The include:
1) Do you want to save the changes you made to "..."? (I did not include the actual filename here.)
2) A file named "......" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it?
3) "......" is now available for editing. Choose Read-Write to open it for editing.
4) This file is locked. Try the command later.
5) This file has been locked by for saving. Try again later.
Question:
Are these error messages normal for shared files? Do some reflect issues more with the network than with Excel? Is there any way to get VBA to simulate clicking a Yes, No, or Cancel, or OK whenever a one of these specific messages comes up?

May 31, 2007I have a 4 MB Excel file containing some very basic VBA that is shared on a server (it is a large file because it contains LOTS of "VLOOKUP" functions). But the VBA only works a part of the time. I assume the reason it might not work is because the server at that time was under high traffic and thus the VBA failures can be traced to poor server performance at that time.

Nov 3, 2008We have Excel 2003 at our workplace. I have shared a file, which is used by many users, so we can use the file at the same time. My problem is that if let's say I am writing a value in cell C2 and another user uses the same cell and writes another value there, and he saves the file and then I try to save the file as well, Excel will ask me which value to keep (the value written by the other user, or my value). Actually what I would need Excel to do is to save both, and put one under the other.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMerging Shared Worksheets
Apr 27, 2008I have a master timesheet that i would like to update for several employees. Each employee will be sending their own spreadsheet at the end of the month. the columns in the spreadsheets have the date, the employee's name, the project they worked on, and how many hours they worked on that project.
when i receive all of the employee's spreadsheets (they will be emailing them to me) then i would like to import the data into a single table that i can then evaluate using pivot tables and pivot charts.
I tried using sharing and merging but i can't figure out how to have their information merge into a single table without overwriting each other (the numbers of rows with information is different for each employee and is not predictable - it will vary from month to month).
I would like to make this as automatic as possible. Ideally, they will send their spreadsheets to me and i would like to have their information automatically imported into one big table.

Shared Workbook Saving
Mar 5, 2010How do I get a shared workbook to automatically save upon every change by each user. The only way I can get this to work (at this point) is to run a macro that updates every 45 seconds IN EACH WORKBOOK! It's counterintuitive because the workbook is shared (on a network), but each user must start the "time" macro in their "individual" SHARED workbook to allow the automatic saving.
What am I missing? There has to be a more efficient way to do this, right?
Code below
HTML Sub Time()
Call Save
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:45"), "Time"
End Sub
HTML Sub Save()
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub
Unprotect VBA Project When Shared
Nov 9, 2006I have an educational workbook which I am not familiar with. I cannot open vb project in vbe. When I try to open it says "project is unviewable". As far as I am concerned it should ask a password. But it doesn't. Can somebody tell me why. I am not asking somebody to crack it for me. I just want to learn why vbe doesn't ask a password. I think the only possibility is the creator of the program want nobody to open the code forever.
View 4 Replies View RelatedUserInterFaceOnly In Shared Workbook
Nov 16, 2006I have a workbook that i am trying to make a shared workbook.
Shared workbooks have all kinds of functionality limitations. The one specifically giving me problems is the ability to protect workbooks.
Once a workbook is shared it's protection cannot be changed.
I protect a workbook prior to sharing and set the UserInterfaceOnly property = true (this allows my code to do whatever it wants but still maintains protection in the user interface).
Once i share and excel makes me save, everything works super and all the code in my auto_open macro works perfectly. But as soon as i close and open the file it seems that the UserInterfaceOnly property i set to true turns off and my code stops working.
Because it's a shared workbook i cannot turn it back on in the auto_open because that functionality is disabled.
Charts In Shared Workbook
Jan 9, 2007We have a worksheet, which contains charts and data which requires updating by different department.
However, when I have this work- book as a Shared workbook (Tools - share workbook), The charting and macro has all been deactivated.
Would anyone have any idea on how do I share a workbook - while being able to also update the Excel Charts within it ?
(Different user will be updating different charts, and there will be no conflict in between them)

Aug 14, 2007When a supervisor goes into one of my sheets and adds some things in, she quite often forgot to share it again. To try and combat this I added the following code:-
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(cancel As Boolean)
Dim myworkb As String
myworkb:
myworkb = ThisWorkbook. Name
If myworkb = "SLE.MasterSheet.SLE1.xls" Then
Call NoProtection
ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs Filename:="SLE.Mastersheet.SLE1.xls", accessmode:=xlShared
End If
Call Limpa
Run "DeleteMenu"
End Sub
The code appears to do everything it should, and when I first ran it appeared to be ok. However, now it appears to save it as shared yet when you go back into the file it opens up as exclusive.... Is there a reason why the code wont "share" ?
Autofill; Copy Down It Doesn’t Automatically Update The Cell References Because It Want To Update Them By Column Number Instead Of Row Number
Dec 11, 2008I 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?
