View 8 RepliesIs it possible to update open worksheet which would stay open from different computer without doing anything to it.
View 8 RepliesWorksheet1 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?
The following 3 macros do the following.
1st macro . . . When the button is clicked for this macro, Windows Explorer is opened and the folder MyMenuFiles is selected. Works Fine.
2nd macro . . . When this button is clicked, the windows explorer opens with My Documents selected. Works Fine.
3rd macro . . . THIS IS THE PROBLEM ONE. When this button is clicked, windows explorer opens, with the C: drive selected. I want My Computer selected.
I am trying to insert a link that once clicked will open a file (word, excel, powerpoint, etc. ) that has been saved on my computer.

Workbook contains the following sheets : PIR TrackerChartsSAMPLEFINALValidations
When a change occurs on PIR Tracker, the following occurs:
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim Rng As Range
Set Rng = Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A500"))
[Code] .....
I also want the pivot tables on SAMPLE and FINAL to be updated. What do I need to do?
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?
I have several workbooks in folder C:Parts &Service where the data needs to be updated with downloaded files in C:extract
I have a macro that allows me to open up a workbook in c:Parts & SVC Sales. One opened I then need to select the appropriate file in C:extract
VB:
Sub Update_Workbooks()
ChDir ("C:Parts & SVC Sales")
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
[Code].....
The are two types of workbooks in C:Parts & SVC Sales "Parts Sales" and "service Sales" . The branch name is at the beginning of the file name
Instead of opening up each file individually in C:Parts & SVC Sales and selecting the appropriate csv file in C:/extract using the Update_Macro, I would like the macro to open up all the files in the directory C:Parts & SVC Sales and update each of these with the appropriate csv file in C:extract
The name and description type must match the csv files and then updated eg Br1 Parts Sales to be updated with csv file Br1 Salesperson 01-07-2014 (the date in the file is not important for match the parts file -the branch name for eg BR1 and "salesperson is) i.e Br1 Parts Sales must select BR1 Salesperson 01-07-2014
BR1 Service Sales Must be updated with Br1 Service order repair register.csv (branch name for eg Br1 in this instance name and Service order repair register (pertain to Service Sales) is important)
Br2 Parts Sales to be updated with Br2 Salesperson
Br2 Service Sales must be updated with Br2 Service order repair register etc

I'm using Excel 2002.
I have one workbook with data linked to another CSV file (It's about 40000rows). When I open the workbook, "THis workbook contains one or more links that cannot be updated." message appears and asks me to open csv file if I wanna to update (although I set full path for links in cells). I wonder if there's any way to update link without opening csv file? Or Excel can not update link without openning the resource file?
I have used the directions below (from this site) to add a name to a validated cell and have that name added to a list. The issue I am trying to solve is this, when opening a new file from the template containing the code below the new file needs to have the range to which I'm refering updated to the range that was in the last opened file from the template. I tried by using a macro to copy and paste the range to an external wb that was hidden and then copy and paste to the new file opened from the template but it was a mess.
If anyone can help by posting some example code to steer me in the right direction I would be very grateful
1. Add any list of names or items to the range A1:A10 on any sheet.
2.Now in cell A11 enter this formula and copy it down to say row 20. =IF( COUNTIF($A$1:A10,$D$1),"x",$D$1) Note the relative reference of A10
3.Go to Insert>Name-define and in the Names in workbook: box type:MyName
4.In the Refers to: box enter this formula: =OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A:$A,"<>x"),1)
5.Click Add then Ok.
6. Select Cell D1 and go to Data> Validation, select List from the Allow: box and in the Source: box type: =MyNames Ensure the In-cell dropdown box is checked.
7.Click the Error Alert page tab and uncheck the Show error alert after invalid data is entered box. Now click Ok.
8.Right click on the sheet name tab and select View Code in here paste the code below:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
On Error Resume Next
Application.EnableEvents = False
Range("MyNames") = Range("MyNames").Value
Application.EnableEvents = True
On Error Goto 0
End Sub
9.Click the top right X to get back to Excel and now Save.
Now select cell D1 and type in any name, that is NOT part of the list, and Enter. Select D1 again and look at the list. The new name should now be part of it!
I am having a workbook in server, it consists more than 12 sheets. Everyday in the early morning it need to be get updated, (i.e) normally when i open the file, it as for the Password (password for workbook), then after I given it will show three buttons Update Don't Update Help, so i need to press the Update Button , it should be done everyday in the early moring.
Is there any way to do this automatically open and update and close everday through vba code or anyother ways.
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.
I have a number of spreadsheets in a folder called country (each sheet is the name of a region). These sheets are linked to another sheet called master which is in another folder.
The regional sheets all have a list of wrap codes and pull details specific to each code from the master sheet. All wrap codes for all sheets are stored in the master, details for wrpas are manually entered here as well as any other associated information.
The link is kept by way of an index match formula used to populate information from the master for all wrap codes in the regional sheet.
Each of the regional sheets act as a report for a specific region and the master is the main source. Every week we need to open the regional sheets (some reside in different folders/subfolders) update the index match formulas in the sheet so that the data is refreshed and then save as a new file with data as values to another folder for reporting.
I am looking for a code that can automatically update all of the excel sheets in a given folder and then save them to a new folder automatically.
I have very very limited knowledge of VB (did make a hello world dialog box once) and am stuck as to any way to automate this process.
is it possible to write vb code to open the workbook, scroll through everysheet? extract the values from each worksheet?
let's just say, I only know the workbook name, but not the sheets of the name inside. So the vb code could scroll through every worksheet without knowing the worksheet name, only the workbook name(workbook.xls)
When you open a sheet, and it brings up the message "this workbook includes links to....etc" & asks you if you'd like to update... is there an event i can use to run some code before the user clicks 'update' ?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a master employee worksheet with about 20 columns (name, position, salary, seniority, etc.) and over 1000 rows (all the employees). From this I created a second worksheet to calculate year-end bonuses.
Now, I need to check my bonus worksheet against any changes which have been inputed into the master worksheet such as changes to an employee's salary, position, etc. How do I do this? Do I need to create a third worksheet or use Vlookup in the bonus worksheet?
I'm no expert with my vba, record a few macros and make alterations to existing code but this is driving me crazy.

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.
I need to have all the information in one workbook for all 100 employees and still provide an individual report for each user and an overall report. In the attachment is a "Summary" and "Calendar" sheet these are the original individual files. summary contains personal information and the "calendar" tracks absence and holiday and the totals returned to the Summary sheet. I think what I need is a Master worksheet that has all the information in for each employee pre row and to have a "calendar" input/change/ call worksheet sheet to call an individual detail, this would also update the master worksheet with any changes.
View 4 Replies View RelatedA long time i have not been practising VBA so i am looking for a little refreshment. I am having a workbook with a random number of worksheet with different name that the user can define as he wants. My calculation option is set-up on automatic so each time i make a change all my formulas are updated. However i want the user to be able to disable the calculation of a specific worksheet that he would chose throught a list. Basically the calculation will remain automatic but the selected worksheet will not be updated when a change occur.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 2 worksheets in a workbook: "Orders" and "History". Both sheets contain the exact same columns. The "Orders" page data gets wiped clean at the start of each month. What I'm looking for is a macro solution that will copy any new rows and update any old ones that have changed on the "Orders" page to the "History" page, so we can keep a running history of sales. Ideally, I'd like the macro to fire only when performing a Workbook Save or Workbook Save As.
"History" is in date order, so adding new entries from "Orders" should be easy, just by adding rows to the bottom. Updating existing rows will be harder, because I want it to update if the row has changed but not be deleted or changed when the "Orders" sheet is wiped clean the 1st of the month.
Additional:
The columns in both sheets are:
Order Date
Ship Date
Order Number
Customer
Item
Qty
Amount
Because each item gets a seperate line, there will be rows that have identical Order Date, Ship Date, Order Number, and Customer entries, so I suspect I will need to compare multiple columns when deciding if one has changed (the only column that *should* change after initial entry on the orders page is the Ship Date, which would initially be left blank when the order is first entered).
I am writing code that when you click "OK" on the userform the macro should copy the user entered values which are already in a worksheet into another worksheet. Once the values have been copied over I would like the form to clear the values.
The code that I have so far is giving me a Method " Range" of object'_Global' failed error.
Sub UpdateVariables()
Dim HomeAddress
Dim CellAddress
Sheets("UserInput").Select
If Range("E1") = 0 Then Exit Sub
For Each Cell In Range ("E4:E496")
Cell.Activate
If ActiveCell.Value = 1 Then
HomeAddress = ActiveCell.Address
CellAddress = Variables & "!" & ActiveCell.Offset(0,1).Value
Range(CellAddress).Value = ActiveCell.Offset(0,-1).Value
Range(HomeAddress).Select
End If
Next Cell
End Sub
I have a table that includes list of clients, products they order, and requested delivery date. When the client calls in to place an order, I pull up the excel table (orders worksheet) and fill in the items quantities and the required delivery date for the client who called. Once I fill the information for the client who called in, I need to update a "log" worksheet with the information that I just entered. The log worksheet will eventually contains history of all the orders which I received in the past.
