I inherited an application that a co-worker deployed as an add-in to Excel and now need to change it.
I am able to find the code in the macro to change but I do not know how to update the add-in and deploy it to other users. And naturally there it does not have any included documentation.
I have created a spreadsheet that consists of a link to an Access query. Everything works fine for me. I have put the database in a location that is accessible by the people that I want to use the spreadsheet but when they open it they get the error : "The query did not run or the database did not open."
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently deployed a single-page spreadsheet intended to be added to existing workbooks (it generates a hiearchical view of pricing in a WBS structure), and it includes some UDFs and subs.
I was hoping I could save it as a tempate, but when inserted as a template, it didn't bring along its code module. I ended up instructing someone to copy the sheet to the intended workbook, and had them open the VBE to drag the module over. There is surely a better way!
I would prefer not to train people to use add-ins or mess with Personal.xls.
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 RelatedLet'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)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 am after increasing the number of allowed users that can log onto a form. Currently I have used someone elses code, but that seems to only allow 1 userID to be able to log in. I am not after making the sheet into Fort Knox, just a simple UserID so I know who hasd made any changes.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
If txtuserid.Value = ActiveSheet. Range("b100").Value Then
CPFRVinputfrm.Show
Me.Hide
End If
If txtuserid.Value = "admin" Then
CPFRVadminfrm.Show
Me.Hide
End If
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 want to run an event for specific user. In this case, only John Doe should be able to run this command. It works fine if i put john doe in there and i get the MSGBOX since my windows log in is not John doe. But when I put my windows login there (and only I can run it), i dont get any msgbox or the rest of the command does not run..

View 9 Replies View RelatedAlthough I'm able to write UDFs and distribute addins, one thing I've found is that if you use a UDF formula on a sheet on one machine, save it, then open it on another, Excel doesn't automatically look in the local .xla for the formula. In fact it tries to find it on the network (expecting to locate the originating user's machine, I suspect) and then throw a strop....
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a sheet which has many columns in it, all columns are protected except column B. When I want to enter data always I have to insert a column in column B. When I clicked insert button, my B column move to C and B column become protected and C become unprotected.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that is linked to 2 text files and updates just fine for me but when someone else opens it it does not calculate the new information just keeps the old. New text files are ran from our database to excel every night. When the workbook is opened the formulas should recalculate based on the updated info in the text files. Problem is when I open the file it performs perfectly and updates as it is supposed to but when my colleague opens the file it is not updating and does not show the new updates. I have checked to make sure the calculation is set to automatic. I have also confirmed that we are both working with 2003 version. I even had her open the text files and close and reopen the workbook and no go. I hat her do ctrl+alt+f9, even ctrl+alt+shift+f9. Had her click on the function, hit enter and nothing. Even tried find and replace = with = to wake up excel and nada.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWe use a spreadsheet for developing loans. I can open and print all of them just fine and so can almost all of the other employees. We have two people, though, that have the margins change when they open them. I can open it and have it be just fine, close it, they open the exact same file and see changed margins.
How to change that. I don't want them to have to do it on each spreadsheet. I am looking for a complete, one-time-only fix.
I am looking for a code to let users select an excel file like File Manager.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created some macros and assigned shortcut keys. The workbook is shared by other users. I want to keep these macros from being accessible to other users. I know that they can go to ToolsMacros and display the names of macros and run them. How can I prevent them from accessing the ToolsMacros? Or can I assign password to individual macros?
If I put the macros in individual sheets as Private, they don't show up on the ToolsMacros list, but then I can't assign shortcut keys.
can we use excel workbook by many users at same time ?.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a place where all our documents are stored. We have a log where we all log in what we're working on. Our trouble is, if one person has it opened nobody else can add their items to it. Is there anyway to have multiple people be able to open and enter their work for the day, save and close it out?

I've created a model that uses an add-in to calculate otherwise cumbersome formulas, and 4 or so people need to access this model at any given time. It's saved (along with the add-in) in a public folder on our network drive. Everyone is able to access the model, and is able to load the add-in directly from that folder, but the cells that use the add-in point to where the add-in is stored locally on my drive (C:Documents and SettingsmeApplication DataMicrosoftAddIns) and thus they are not able to use the add-in functions without redirecting every reference to me with references to their add-ins (basically just by finding and replacing every 'me' with 'them' in those cells at this point). So I guess what I'm wondering is how do I make it so the add-in is 'universal' (instead of local) such that as long as each user has the add-in loaded they can fire up the model and use the needed functions.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to allow my users to insert rows, however I have Data valadation lists that would be affected by the insert.
Is there a way that I can lock the spreadsheet so that they have to highlight the cells and then insert the row but NOT allow them to highlight the entire row then insert?
I am creating a userform and would like to be able to automatically enter the name of the person using it. The way our network is set up is Username = 1st 5 letters of surname + 1st 2 letters of forename. Due to this i cannot use
Function UserNameWindows() As String
UserName = Environ("USERNAME")
End Function
as this returns the login name as opposed to the full name. I also cannot use
Function UserNameOffice() As String
UserNameOffice = Application.UserName
End Function
due to the fact that the office settings are defaulted to "Any Authorised User" unless manually updated by the user.
The users full name is displayed at the top of the start menu, but I have so far not been able to find a way to pull that into my form.
