User Inputs Area Into Macro And Macro Continues To Run After Input
Oct 9, 2012
I have recorded the following marco and it works fine. I would like to modify it so the user would highlight a range of cells rather than have the fixed area :
I am not new to excel - but I have never required the use of advanced excel features before today - so I apologize in advance. I am a health professional student (graduate level) assisting my preceptor in developing patient management mechanisms.
I am building an excel spreadsheet to manage current medications for several patients.
I have built the spreadsheet with the first 'sheet' being a directory and subsequent sheets being patient data files(one sheet per patient).
I am now in the process of creating a macro to build new patient data files (a new sheet for a new patient). I recorded a macro to build the new sheet with the proper formatting of information. What I am trying to do now is automate the naming and linking of the new sheet.
What I am really after is how can you create a "prompt" such that after activating the macro button it asks:
Patient last name: Patient first name:
Then uses this data to:
1. Rename the newly made sheet to 'last, first' 2. Title the newly made sheet with 'last, first' 3. Create an entry in the directory in the 'last, first' format 4. Finally, build the hyperlink from the directory to the newly created sheet
I am looking to create a macro that will ask the user to define the row number of the beginning and ending locations that they would like to print. The columns are fixed in that the first starting row will be from column A and the ending row will be column M.
I have built a pipe tally used in the oilfield that keeps track of large amounts of pipe figures but very often is the case that there is the need to print a section of the tally data in reference to a certain depth. With the vast knowledge base located here I was able to build the first macro that prints the whole active tally but now I need something more refined.
Below is one of the copies of the macro that I was trying to get to work and it is missing a couple of things but the most important part shows up and that is how to get the inputbox variables into the defined print area.
Sub TallyVariable() Dim StartRow As String Dim EndRow As String StartRow = InputBox("Please Enter Starting Row you would like to print") EndRow = InputBox("Please Enter Last Row you would like to print") ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "A" & StartRow.Address:"M" & EndRow.Address End Sub
I need a way to divide-up an area exactly after user input. If an answer exists, once I know how to divide say the width, I can use the same solution to divide the height. In that case I'll concentrate here on the width only.
- The user puts in a width of say 11300mm [11.3 meters], I then need to divide that by a maximum with, say 2000mm [2 meters].
- Obviously that doesn't fit exactly coming to 5.65 and I need a whole number, thus I then need excel use a figure under my maximum of 2000mm until dropping about 1883mm, it gives me the whole number of 6 rather than 5.65.
I'm no expert with Excel but I do use things like LOOKUP, VLOOKUP, IF, ISNU, validation list and things like that.
Basically this is to divide the area of a flat roof into lead bays, and as lead bays have a maximum size, I need a way to calculate how many bays there are vertically and how many there are horizontally off user input (width & height).
I would like to do a Macro which requires user to go to a specific line which is variable in each work sheet. I would like to be able to enter the number and then delete all lines below that point and then continue with the balance of the macro.
Is there an easy way to pause the Macro and then restart it? Or is there a code that I can insert in the Macro to locate a specific Cell and then delete all lines below the next line?
Due to the economy we are only scheduling days to work one week ahead which leads to alot of phone calls. The gaurds who get the calls then search thru a printed spreadsheet looking for a clock number or last name. I realized right away they should just look at the file on the computer and due edit - find. The problem is they due not use computers unless printing and they looked at me like I was talking in a different language. So I want to edit this macro below so it will allow user to type in search criteria instead of using same search criteria every time. Here it is 70039. I also need to place a shortcut or button to this macro on the toolbar or sheet and do not know how. How do I stop "remove macro or enable when file is loaded"?
the title should read... pressing cancel in inputbox, continues the macro... In theory, pressing the cancel button should stop the macros, but it continues as if pressing ok button...
I'm very new to Excel and definately to macros/vba. I've already received a tremendous amount of help with this file but I'm am really struggling here and getting very frustrated! I've got a pretty good handle on the excel part but the macros/vba is another story. Here is what i'm attempting to do: I've created a form "frmMacroButtons" which has 8 buttons. When the workbook is opened I want this form/window to launch. I want the user to be able to select any of the buttons but also be able to just click into the worksheet manually if wanted but have the window stay open to go back to use the buttons. Each of the buttons I've typed a description of what I want each of the buttons to do in the code view.
I'm working with a workbook that has about 75 sheets. I need a macro that will copy the info in a certain couple of ranges from one sheet to the same ranges in another. This would not be a problem if it was always the same two sheets. But I need the user to be able to specify which sheet he wants to copy from and which sheet he wants to copy to.
The ranges on the sheets will always remain the same, just the sheet name needs to change. I created drop down boxes for the user to choose the copy from and copy to sheets, but I don't know how to insert that into the VBA code. The way I've designed it, the macro needs to read the result from the user that is on sheet "Index" in cell H5 to copy from and N5 to copy to. The result in those cells is the actual sheet name.
I would like to delete a column using data validation list. for example :
i have a data validation INPUT list in cell A1 (Part No., Supplier 1, Supplier 2, Supplier 3) the heading start from B2,C2,D2,E2,F2. If user select Supplier 1 from data validation list in cell A1, the column Supplier 1 [c2] should be deleted.
And/or also if in cell B1 have a data validation INPUT row list (Part no.) & if user select part no., the selected part no. row should be deleted.
I need a macro that simply allows me to open the filter criteria dialog to "contains," then stops, so I can enter the value to be filtered. Macro recorder does not allow me to stop recording at the point the "contains" dialog appears.
Using Excel 2003 I am trying to write a macro to set the print area according to the amount of data in a particular range of cells. I find I can include this instruction
I am currently using this macro to fill down cells full of numbers which have been passed through formulae. It works for one input (C10), however I want it to work for another input (C11). Im trying to make it fill down the cells after a new set of headings identical to row 12. It has to take into account the rows used for the original fill down which relies on C10. I have tried to use the same macro twice, but I cant get it to do both layers. Basically I need a fill down of layer 1 (already done), and then a fill down for layer 2 after layer 1.
I'm trying to take 5 inputs that are all in text format and inputs have fixed options what i need is a macro that will take them and turn them in to the relevant outputs. there is a select amount of combinations and i've been asked to do each combination as a separate macro or sub macro.
What I have so far is;
If C6 = "Panel plate" And D6 = "24 by 21" And E6 = "<1.59" And F6 = "N/A " Then I6 = "120" And j6 = "4" And L6 = "120" End Sub
A B C D E F G H I J K L 1 2 4 5 6 Panel plate 24 by 21 <1.59 N/A 7 8 9 10
(Doesn't seem to work)...
If those four cell match up then i need I6-L6 to line up with whats required. If they don't equal that i need it to stay clear.
I also need to add the same macro with different options.
I am just starting to get my feet a little damp with VBA and I am trying to make a macro that will act whenever any text is entered in any cell within a 3x3 square. Whenever any text is entered in any of those cells I would like it to enter a text ( "X" ) in a cell which is specified by a cell in the spreadsheet (this cell will output which cell the macro should write the text in in this format "A:1" or "C:3"). How can I make the program act only in reaction to the user entering thier text, and also, how can I get the macro to read A:1 and enter the text into that specific cell? Any help would be so awesome, the book I have is really difficult to navigate.
I want to create a macro to take multiple inputs from sheet 2, apply them simultaneously to the inputs on sheet 1, take sheet 1's output and list next to the inputs on sheet 2. I want to apply this to a spreadsheet with complicated calculations. Example spreadsheet attached. Related Macros I have will do a similar thing but only take one input at a time. Code as follows.
VB: Sub x() Dim r As Range With Sheet2 For Each r In .Range("A2", .Range("A2").End(xlDown)) Sheet1.Range("A2") = r r.Offset(, 2).Resize(, 3).Value = Sheet1.Range("C2:E2").Value Next r End With End Sub
Is it possible to show a timer on a worksheet as a user inputs to it? I can get the timer to appear, using Application .OnTime Now() + TimeValue ("00:00:01"), "AutoRecalcWorkbook", but it's kind of modal -- that is, the user can't input at the same time it's running.
Say a user inputs information into the user form, when they click enter, it enters all the data on the next available line in a workbook.
Is is possible for the user to click a cell on a previously entered row, and have the userform populate with the existing information?
example. say the user has to fill out 3 separate areas. 1, 2, 3. However the user only has data for 1 and 2. They go ahead and enter the infromation for 1 and 2 and click submit to transfer to sheet. Now later he gets information for area 3, can the row the information that he previously entered, lets say column 1, row 1, and it reopens the userform with the information for 1 and 2 prefilled from what he entered previously?
I have a macro where I manually select a cell then the macro kicks in to copy and paste the contents into the Find function. From there it goes to another work sheet, clicks on a cell in column one and searches for matching cell contents. Then If false it manually goes back to the original worksheet/cell and then I input a N in the left adjacent cell. If true I enter a Y. Right now I can only run this for the specific cell the macro was recorded for. I would like to expand this.
What I would like to do create a loop in the macro that waits for my cell choice input then continues with the with the Find function. If false the macro should just loop back to the original worksheet/cell and wait for input, ie the next cell selected. However, if true a worksheet/cell is selected, a Y is input and it loops back to the original cell and waits for input.
I have written two VBA programs around the same time. Both run on open and pull external data and create graphs. My problem is that I want the end user to be able to run the report multiple times by choosing the name of the macro from the Excel macro menu (i.e. Tools>Macro>Macros) but only one of the workbook macros shows up on the menu. why the other macro is not visible on this menu???
I have a user form that has a combo box "City" two text boxes one called "Flight" and the other "Date". What I'm trying to do is to prevent the user from saving the data input from the user form if any of those three fields is left blank. The code that I have so far checks all of the required fields, if any are left blank a message notifys which field(s) is left blank and return the focus back to that field. But the rest of code also fires.
What I really need is either to stop the code if any fields are blank and return the focus back to the blank field, the user completes the field(s) and clicks the save again, or better yet, pause the code until all the required fields are completed and then complete the save. (There is actually another 200+ lines of code in this sub, but I deleted it to keep the post a little shorter.)
I am trying to check a user input to see if the user has entered the date correctly. I am using the code below but it keeps giving me a "Type Mismatch" error.
Is there a macro that can automatically set the print area by determining what the used range is. For example, If P96 is my last used cell, I would want a1: P96 as my print area.
My macro selects cells containing data - then i want the macro to set the print area to those selected cells - works fine - but the selected cells won't be the same each time i run the macro. Here's how it looks now:
I am looking to set the print area with a macro, below is what I had hoped would work. It does not. I get unable to get Vlookup property of worksheetFunction class error.
Sub Printzed() Start = Range("C6").Address Finish = Res = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(I5, Range("prlu"), 2).Address
myPrintArea = Start & ":" & Finish ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = myPrintArea End Sub
I have a document which will require signatures after printed and want to keep the signature portion at the bottom of the page (currently rows 102-104). The problem is that the document will not need to be that long for every person and was wondering if it would be possible to have a macro that checks (C7:C:100), stops printing when it reaches the blank cells, and then prints those last 2 rows?
