Using VBA To Create VBA Code On The Fly
I have a vba module that reads a value from a txt file and saves that value in a variable called "iniInfo". I want to permanently assign that value programatically by using VBA code to create a Public variable e.g. "PUBLIC CONST conFIg = iniInfo" in my modGlobalVar Module. (Of course, this would only create the code if the "conFig" variable doesn't already exist.)

Create Comparison Code In VBA
I have to do monthly comparisons of two excel worksheets, one being a vessel timesheet and the other being an excel download from manpower software that we use. The comparison that is being made are days of the month, whilst the unique identifier between the two sheets (To make it easier to understand I will call them sheet1 and sheet2) is an employee ID. Both sheets, alongside the name and employee ID, list all the days of the month that employees have worked. If they have worked, there is a "1" under that day, if they have not the cell is blank. What I currently do manually is: 1: Search for the employee ID (and/or name) in sheet1 and compare the days with the employee ID in sheet2. 2: Highlight the differences 3: Move onto the next employee ID All differences are highlighted in sheet2. Differences highlighted are in the days only, where if any days are missing/extra in either sheet, then the particular cell(s) are highlighted in yellow. If an employee is missing from sheet1 but is in sheet2, then all the days are highlighted (in sheet2). If an employee is missing from sheet2 but is in sheet1, then that particular employee is copied to the bottom of sheet2 (after last row). As this is horribly complicated to explain, I can attach an example if this is sounding rather inexplicable? Is it possible to attach a xls to a thread?

Create Macro Code With VBA Code
I'm trying to add buttons to an excel spreadsheet at runtime. Each row in the spreadsheet should have its own buttons. I was able to create and edit them with the ActiveSheet. OLEObjects.Add() function, but after that, when i was trying to create code dynamically to react on the buttons' click events excel crashes (actually it works for one button, but not if my routine for adding a new button and event code is called more than once in a row!) The code below works if the AddCmdbuttonWithCode() is called once, but crashes if it is called two or more times. Excel tries to restore the document after the crash and the first button and its corresponding click event code is visible and works... but NOT the second button and its event code... The only way I can create multiple buttons right now is by calling my method once per click, opening the vba editor, changing the parameters for my AddCmdbuttonWithCode() routine and execute it again. After that I have mutliple buttons in different lines which all work fine (so the concept seems to work). The problem seems to be the insertLine method, since everything seems to work if i leave it out (except for the code generation of course, since this is done by this part of the code :-) ). Is it possible that calling the insertLine Method can't be called multiple times? I don't know... any ideas? Feel free to test my code - it's small, easy to understand and has comments. 'this code calls the method which creates the buttons in specific cells with specific names Private Sub CommandButton3_Click() 'the first call always works! AddCmdbuttonWithCode "Edit_111_111_114", 23 'the second one crashes excel AddCmdbuttonWithCode "Edit_111_111_115", 27 End Sub

VBA Macro Code To Create Multiple Charts
I need to create 63 charts from data which I have in two columns. I want to create multiple charts using one macro. For the first chart I want it to use cells K2:K80 as the x values, and M2:M80 as the y values. For the next chart I want it to use cells K81:K159 as the x values and M81:159 as the y values. For the next chart I want it to use cells K160:K238 as the x values and M160:M238 as the y values. I want to continue this, creating a chart for every 78 cells of data, all the way until the 63rd chart which uses K4900:K4978 as the x values and M4900:M4978 as the y values. I have created the following macro by " recording." This macro generates the first chart that I want: Sub Macro5() ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatterSmoothNoMarkers ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = "=Sheet1!$K$2:$K$80" ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = "=Sheet1!$M$2:$M$80" ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatterSmoothNoMarkers ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-3 End Sub How can I alter this macro to create all 63 charts?. It seems like there is an easy way to do this, but I don't use macros very much (at all).

I tried to use OnAction but it does not work for textbox in a userform. Question II is that how can I find the all properties of a textbox or any other controls? Is there a manuel or reference available on the internet?

Pivot Tables - Create New Fields On The Fly?
it's possible to create new fields (variables/columns) on the fly (without adding them to the original data table). For this example, assume I have a column for: job code estimated hours job code actual hours total estimated hours total actual hours Excel has made it easy to run averages or sums for any of those columns, but what if I want to see what the average proportion for job code estimated hours/ total estimated hours? Is there an easy way to do it with pivot tables without adding a column to my database? I'm working in Excel 2007, my data table size is approximately 100 columns by 200 rows.

Distributing VBA Code Changes Via VBA
I have a number of identical workbooks used for data capture within the organisation, and need to continue development as time goes on. Whenever I make a change to the core Excel functions of the workbooks I simply use a VBA procedure to conduct this change within each of the production workbooks, however I am stumped as to how I can achieve this for changes to the VBA code. I have made some changes to the code held within one of the modules, and have also modified the form slightly. What I want to be able to do is run a VBA procedure that either updates the production workbooks from a central source, or by importing previously exported code / forms.

VBA To Create New Sheet ...
I would like to be able to have a macro, linked to a button, so that when you press that button it creates a new named sheet based on data in a particular cell. I.e. There is a table with the following data: Apples (A1) Oranges (A2) Pears (A3) There are also the sheets Apples, Oranges & Pears. You enter 'Grape' in cell A4, then when you press the button it creates a new sheet named Grape. Also when a new sheet is created, the 'input cell', in this case A4, is moved down one so that when the next sheet is needed to be added, it doesn't just add the same sheet (i.e. in the example above, we don't end up with a new sheet named 'Grape' each time we click the button).

Create Tag In VBA?
I found this really cool code that creates a tag cloud in Excel using VBA. It's far too complex for my understanding but I was hoping I could get some of the experts opinions on here about modification possibilities. I have attached the macro-enabled 2007 workbook. What I am trying to do is search through a list of keywords and determine each keyword's density within a list. The list for example could look like this: slow windows xp windows xp running slow windows xp computer [slow windows xp] [windows xp running slow] [windows xp computer] [computer running slow windows xp] "computer running slow windows xp" "slow windows xp" "windows xp running slow" "windows xp computer" You'll notice the characters " [ ] of which I would like to ignore when the cloud builds. The cloud would list the most dense keywords first, and gradually decrease to the least dense keywords. The macro code is inside the workbook but I'll list it here to:

VBA Macro Code Needed To Run The Code Contained Within A Cell

Display All VBA Code In Code Window (VBE)

Now when I load VBA, all the Subs and Functions have their own page, and can be selected from the right hand drop down list. This is much easier for entering code, and finding subs. However, it is sometimes useful to see 'the big picture', so how do I swap between the two types of display?

VBA Macro To Create New Worksheet, Charts, Etc.
I need a macro to create the following worksheets and charts from an Excel data set: Three (3) worksheets (already created manually in attached Excel file): 1. Chart Data. (a) Column A in Chart Data is always numbered 1 - 600 (50 years x 12 mos/yr). (b) Column I and column Y data sets (from Prod_Month) created in Chart Data. Each data set can be identified and collated with column F in Prod_Month (API) which is unique for each dataset. 2. Rate vs. Month - plot of Daily Gas (col. Y in Prod_Month) vs. Months (col. A in Chart Data). 3. Rate vs. Time - plot of Daily Gas (col. Y in Prod_Month) vs. Calender Time (col. B et. al. in Chart Data) At a minimum, could someone help me create the Chart Data worksheet from the data in PROD_MONTH? Charting all the columns takes time from Chart Data but any data manipulation macro(s) help.

I also would like to know if it is possible to do automatically fill the To-field with the emailadress from the user who send me the original file. Maybe this needs some more explanation (sorry my english isnt too good): * A user can download an excel-form from the internet * The form is sent to my emailadress * I give a number to the form * The user will get a message that his question is attend to with the number of the question So I use a macro-button to reply when I have filled in the question-number.

VBA Code- How Do You Get The Code Boxes To Appear In Threads
I have code that inserts columns, inserts formulas, and then copies the formulas to the last row of data. It all works good but for some reason, the columns that are being copied, are being copied past the last row of data. It can always be determined how far down it will be copied. Examples: if the last row of data was row 4, then the formulas would be copied down to row 24, if the last row of data was row 54, then the formulas would be copied down to 254, if the last row of data was row 284, then the formulas would be copied down to 2284. I can not figure out how and wh this is happening, but whatever the last row of actual data is on the spreadsheet, there is a 2 being placed in front of the last row of data and the formulas are being copied down to whatever the last row is with the addition of a 2 in front. Here is the code for the columns additions, and formulas: Columns("O:S").Insert Shift:=xlToRight Columns("W:Z").Insert Shift:=xlToRight Columns("AB:AF").Insert Shift:=xlToRight Columns("AH:Al").Insert Shift:=xlToRight Range("O2").FormulaR1C1 = "=CONCATENATE(RC[1],""/"",RC[2],""/"",RC[3])" Range("P2").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF((RC[3]=7),LEFT(RC[-2],1),LEFT(RC[-2],2))" Range("Q2").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF((RC[2]=7),MID(RC[-3],2,2),MID(RC[-3],3,2))" Range("R2").FormulaR1C1 = "=RIGHT(RC[-4],4)" Lets take this first one for example: Range("O2:S2").Copy Range("O2:S2", Range("O2:S2" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)) If the last row of data was row 54, then columns O:S would have the formulas copied down to row 254. How can this code be modified so the formulas will not be copied past the last row of data? How do you get the code boxes to appear in these threads. I do not know how to do this. As you can see, all I did was copy and paste my code in this thread.

I want to be able to change the macro code just to print data relating to the department that I chose (i.e I will customize it). Can anyone help me with some VBA code? Basically it should look at column G first and then print all columns with data in for B,C,D,G,J,N. Example I might want to print data contained in columns, B, C,D,G,J,N just relating to Department A (which is in column G). It ignores all other lines relating to Departments B, C, D, E etc. Is this possible? I just want it to print only rows containing data and ignore blank cells.
