Using Scripting Directory To Capture Value Of Cell Before Change
Feb 13, 2014
I have date values in a range of cells, and have named the range "ChangeRange".
How would I:
1. loop through the range to store the current value of each cell in a scripting directory?
2. use vba to compare the values in that dictionary to the current value of the cell when it changes (NOTE: the change is by formula, not by manual insertion of a new value?
3. write that old cell value in the cell immediately to the right of the cell when it changes and update the dictionary value with the "new" old value?
4. do this for more than one range of dates on the same page?

I am trying to capture the value of a cell before a change even. The attached Macro will report the value before the change but does not store it so that I can use it in another module. What I am trying to do is capture the value before the change and then look that value up in another worksheet (in the same workbook) so I can make the same change in the second workbook.
The values will always be in Column B and will always be string characters.
The code I am using for the change event is as follows: ....

I am trying to use the same VBA code for different applications using variables.
Basically I want to have a variables sheet that has the different directories based on the macro selection. My variable sourceloc would change based on the variable name on the sheet.
sometimes I would want it to equal what was in a1 and sometime I would want what was in a2
a1 cell contains "f:filezilla files
a2 cell contains "f:dmc files
This is the code I started and it gives compile error when ChDir = sourceloc is reached
Public sourceloc
Sub filezillasettings()
Dim sourceloc As String
sourceloc = ActiveSheet.[a1] ' a1 cell contains the directory name and folder name =
End Sub

I have a workbook that will save as if certain conditions are met. The workbook saveas filename is determined by user input into a textbox. I would like to define the path but allow the filename to be the value of the textbox. I used the ChDir function to do this but it is not working. Here's what I have:
Private Sub CrmFrm1_Click()
ChDir "S:AccountingProbationTest Files"
If Len(TextBox1) <> 12 Then
MsgBox "Incorrect Case File Number"
FrmSave.TextBox1.SetFocus
Exit Sub
Else
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FrmSave.TextBox1.Value
End If
Unload Me
End Sub

I have an Excel macro that pulls an external .txt file from a particular directory on a users computer. The directory is different for each user because of the way the computers are configured, see example below.
Bob's computer:
c:obwork
Jill's computer:
c:jillwork
There is a system variable called %username% on each computer that can be used for navigation in an OS enviroment. So if you were at the command prompt on user's computer and typed cd\%username%work you would be put in the desired directory. Is there a way to leverage this system level variable, %username%, in an Excel macro?

I have a directory where our customer service people deposit forms each day. The form is always the same, with a number of columns that need to be copied into a master list. From there they are analyzed, sorted, etc, then exported, so the number of rows in that list varies from day to day as well. Is there some way to have VBA import each file sequentially from a directory if I do not have the exact file names?
I am using this import code from a macro to start with:
Sub importdata()
' importdata Macro
Range("A2").Select
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=Array(Array( _
"ODBC;DSN=Excel Files;DBQ=C:Documents and SettingsMy DocumentsTender Document(1).xls;DefaultDir=C:Documents a" _

If I hadn't read it on here, how would I have know that they existed? They are not mentioned in the standard Excel help files (not that I could see anyway).
What other "objects" are available? I had a look through the references in the VBE and there are literally hundreds on items which all look pretty "juicy". Does that mean there are a whole host of other objects that I could use in my Excel spreadsheets to either make them simplier or more powerful?
If so, where does one find any reference info on them?

I want to extract just the last name from a cell that contains the full name and put just the last into a seperate cell.
WHAT I AM DOING: i copy the contents of a internal screen onto a spreadsheet that i use to check various peices of info and calculations. when i save I like to save my sheet with the last name and then acct number. The internal system screen combines the customers names into a single cell. Right now i have to type the last name into a new cell and have a simple save macro that concatenates that last name with the acct number and saves it into the appropriate folder.
The field i am pulling from is always formatted with FIRST NAME then MI (IF PROVIDED) and then LAST NAME. So when i dump the screen contents into excel A20 may be MIKE SMITH, or MIKE T SMITH. so i need something that looks backwards in the cell and stops at the first space and dumps SMITH into another cell of my choosing (B1 in this case)

The code works well. Though there are a few that that i dont understand.
The same range in used for the listbox and the combobox. Though i cannot send the Variable Rng through the scripting dictonary it seams that this function is looking at the range in a diffrent manner to a standard range.
so you see i have another variable datarng for use in the function though if i use set to set the variable as the range it wont like that either.

How to modify this code so that I select only one column triggers the time stamp update? For e.g. if i make any changes in column A, the date stamp is updated in the corresponding cell in column B. Basically, I am trying to narrow down to only one cell in the row, but it should work for any row in the sheet.
Refer to the below post: [URL] ....
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Row > 1 Then Cells(Target.Row, "B") = Now()

I would like to know how to capture a cell value at a specific date each month in a situation where this cell can change value as it is a formula. For example, the cell returns a percentage that is derived from other data that can change regularly. It may be 45% today, but a user may alter other data in the spreadsheet and it could be 67% tomorrow (or any other percentage).
I want to graph a monthly trend of how this cell value changes by capturing the cells value on the 20th day of every month, or it would also be ok to work on a periodic snapshot of every 30 days.

I'm trying to write a routine that will display the Red, Green and Blue RGB properties of a cell's interior colour.
I found the following function:
Code:
Function SingleColorFromRGB(colorWanted As String, RGBValue As Long) As Long
Dim rColor As Long, gColor As Long, bColor As Long
If RGBValue < 0 Then GoTo ReturnError
rColor = RGBValue Mod 256
RGBValue = Int(RGBValue / 256)
gColor = RGBValue Mod 256
[Code]...
How I should call this function in a worksheet, or failing that, come up with something better e.g. a message box that will display the numeric values of each RGB property for the selected cell, or a single cell worksheet name?

Can I use my listbox contents to populate a scripting dictionary?
Dim a, z As Long
Set dic = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
With Sheets("Changes")
a = ListBox1.List
'a = .Range("b1", .Range("b" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Offset(, -1).Resize(, 10).Value
End With
For z = 2 To UBound(a, 1)
If Not dic.exists(a(z, 2)) Then
ReDim w(1 To 10, 1 To 1)
For zz = 1 To 10: w(zz, 1) = a(z, zz): Next
dic.Add a(z, 2), w
Else
w = dic(a(z, 2))
ReDim Preserve w(1 To 10, 1 To UBound(w, 2) + 1)
For zz = 1 To 10: w(zz, UBound(w, 2)) = a(z, zz): Next
dic(a(z, 2)) = w
End If
Next
ComboBox2.List = dic.keys
ComboBox2.Value = Sheets("Calendar").Range("E3").Value
This code doesn't work because the bold line falls over.... the Remmed statement below it works fine though...

i have used two form and a macro in a workbook. First one captures data via text box. This data is captured in a cell. Form two adds a new sheet with the name that is captured in a cell, then perforns some task in the newly created sheet. Macro does the formatting of the newly created sheet and saves the sheet. Again when i reopen the the workbook the value is captured in next blank cell and the procedure follows. This works fine as far as there is a single. But not in case of multiple user at the same time. Is there a way to directly capture the value to form 2 and macro so that multiple user can work on the same time.

The script collects all the files in directory and sub-directories and list them in ascending format, I want them to get in transpose format. like for example: Root folder has many sub directories and in them a sub directory XYZ has 5 excel files, it will get the sub directory name in Col A and transpose all .xls files.
Col A | Col B________|Col C_________ |Col D___________|Col E________|
XYZ__|C:/root/test.xls|C:/root/Sales.xls |C:/root/Report.xls |C:/root/sam.xls|

9.35am 120.8 120.8
Here A and B value is keep on changing from external source, when A1=9.30am, the B1 value 120, then C1 should capture the B1 value and stored in it. like wise it captured and stored for every 5 minit or as per requirement.

Assuming I have three worksheets:
1) input: col A has a series of product code (string)
2) calculation: where I want to automatically copy and paste each product code from "input" worksheet into "calculation" cell B4, and through many steps of calculations, return the outputs in cell B8 and B9 (parameters are numeric)
3) output: how to automatically record B8 and B9 from "calculation" sheet to this sheet Row 5 and 6 from each loop? (format of output doesn't really matters)

I'm trying to do is definetly simple to a lot of you, but I'm struggling on how to get started. I attached a workbook that clearly shows my work! I'm almost there but not quiet. Basically the user will be able to make a slection that will be used to lookup values from a different sheet. Each selection triggers a ranking number at the bottom (red pattern) in the worksheet. Now I would like to capture all scenarios and display the ranking.
