Using VBA To Open / Click In Or And Pull Info From Webpages?
Apr 2, 2014
how to have VBA go in and type words in a field and click 'go', 'search', 'submit'.Vice Versa, If I open a web page (without VBA), How do I make it so that once that web pages opens, VBA is triggered to pull info from a text box on that web page?
i found some code on chippearson's site to use excel to open a webpage, search for keywords, and click on the links... i'm see a couple different errors waiting for the webpages to load. the errors and code is listed below...
Errors 1. method 'busy' of object 'IWebBrowser2' failed 2. remote server machine is unavailable
Sub OpenLinks() Dim o2
Set o2 = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application") o2.Navigate "http://forums.slickdeals.net/forumdisplay.php?sduid=0&f=9" 'IE navigates to a webpage o2.Visible = False 'hides IE While o2.busy: DoEvents: Wend
Set o = o2.Document.All.tags("A")
M = o.Length: mySubmit = -1 For r = 0 To M - 1
If InStr(1, o.Item(r).innerhtml, "SD600", vbTextCompare) Then o.Item(r).Focus o.Item(r).Click: Exit For End If Next
I don't really know how to search this question but what I am trying to do is pull information from one worksheet to another only containing numbers greater than 0. For example, i have an order sheet containing everything that is in stock, then I go down the list and put in the number of items being sold (1,2,3, etc). Some items will have a value of zero.
Then the items that have numbers (the ones that are being sold) I want to be able to pull these numbers along with the item description onto another worksheet which will be the invoice. Then excel will add up the prices of only the items being sold and give me a total value on the invoice. Is this doable?
I have one worksheet with 238 rows and another with 163 rows. I want to pull information into the sheet with 238 rows whenever there is a match to a record in the 163 rows. I tried VLookup, but as soon as it gets to a record in the 238 that doesn't exist in the 163 it gives errrors and stops. I've looked at =offset and =offset(match) but I'm not finding anything that deals with the situation of not always being a one-to-one (or even one-to many) relationship. Ultimately I want to pull the Category & Project fields into the records matching on IDNumb in Sheet 1 but Sheet 1 has more records than Sheet2. example......
I pulled a report into excel that lists staff details and workgroups that they have access to. There are nearly 8000 staff who can have anywhere from 0 to 120 workgroups.
The workgroups are listed with the staff details in the following format:
I have an XY plot where the source X value data is a series of time values, each associated with a descriptive text cell. I would like to select a single point (obviously by mouse) and then execute a macro (right click preferred but a separate command button would be a suitable substitute for now) that will extract the X-value. I then plan to use that value to find within the source data the associated descriptive text cell and make a data label from that text. No clue where to start...the macro recorder is woefully deficient in this area.
I have been trying for months to get this to work by altering code from similar requests I've hunted down on google to no avail.
I am looking to have a "Master" sheet that is populated by data from 30+ individual excel workbooks. Each workbook is contained on a server in a directory "O:JobsJobs In Progress." In that directory are subfolders (named in sequence "C12000 Job1", "C12001 Job2", etc) which contain the actual workbook (Named according to number ie. "C12000 Jobinfo").
I would like this "Master" to automatically pull specific values from each C1200* workbook and paste them in a designated cell so that I can quickly look at specific information contained in each workbook. Each C1200* workbook is constructed the same way.
Short Example of C1200* workbook in which data will be pulled from:
Job Number C12000 PM Abe Lincoln Foreman Thomas Edison Contract Date 1/1/10
I need to look up the name in E2 in the list in column A and if it matches then lookup name in F2 in list column b, if it matches then the corresponding number in column C is displayed in column G. If neither names are in the 2 columns the words"Not on lists" is displayed in cell in column G.
The other problem is one name is spelled two different ways I want it to look for both spelling before moving on to looking up the second name.
I started with this formula but I'm getting #N/A or "not on list" when they are on the list. I'm using ranges prod_sum is columns AthruC, Last_name is range BthruC. =IF(AND(VLOOKUP(F4,prod_sum,3,0),VLOOKUP(I4,last_name,2,0)),"not on list")
I'm having a little trouble figuring out what formula to use for situation. I have 5 columns of information.
Column A = School # of current school Column B = School 1 Name Column C = School 2 Name Column D = School 3 Name Column E = School 4 Name
What I want to do is in Column F to look through a row of information and find the current school.
So: If A="1", pull from B If A="2", pull from C If A="3", pull from D If A="4", pull from E
I tried doing a VLOOKUP table, but I think I'd have to do one for every row, but I could be wrong. I also thought of INDEX(MATCH), but I couldn't quite figure it out.
At work we have a particular website open at all times. It pulls random data that is entered by another office and we then pull it up using a unique reference number generated. Is there anyway to create a macro that will scrape the data from this open page? I know that you can use the AppActivate command to set the focus on this particular page, but is there a way to get the data I need from there? I know you can bring up a new webpage with Set IE, but is there a way to use the Set IE with whatever page currently has the focus? Basically my project is if we see any errors, we have to pull up a form I made and enter the data manually. I am just hoping there is a way to scrape the basic information each time so we don't have to do it all manually.
I seem to have broken something!. Whenever I double-click to open an Excel file (.xls files are associated correctly), Excel opens, but nothing happens. That status bar says "Ready," but my workbook never appears.
If I do a File-> Open within Excel, then I am able to open the workbook. I have no idea what is going on. This occurs for all Excel files whether they contain macros or not.
I'he a button in Excel Userform and i want to open directory using button cliick and put selected directory in textbox1 e.g. i've selected D:Susheel then it will reflect in textbox1
I have a User Form that I am trying to open with a button click. I made a copy of one workbook with a new name. The Buttons and Macros were all copied as well. I modified the old Userform so that I can release Version 2 of the Userform, and now when I click on the button in Excel, I get the following error : Object doesn't support this property or method. Run-Time error '438'.
The code assigned to that button is as follows:
Sub Button121_Click() ' ' Button121_Click Macro ' Macro recorded 8/11/2002 by Kale Mayfield
' UserForm1.Show
End Sub
What am I doing wrong? HELP! Once you have the Userform populated with ComboBoxes,Textboxes, etc., is there now way of making changes to that Userform? If you make changes and rearrange the locations of the buttons and boxes and labels... does that mess up the button in Excel that opens the form to begin with?
I use Excel to track all purchase orders for my company. Is there a way to just click on the purchase order number in its cell and have it find and open the purchase order .pdf file that I have saved on the server. The file name is the same as the purchase order number. I do not want to use hyperlinks because there are over 11,000 files I would have to link to. I think it would be easier for me to just select the cell and have the information in the cell be the search name.
I want to reference a cell from another workbook that is a hyperlink, but I want it to stay as a hyperlink and not text. Example would be workbook1 cell A1= workbook2 cell A5(which is a hyperlink) but in workbook1 A1 shows the text of the name of the hyperlink. I want the workbook1 cell to be exactly the same hyperlink...this way when I have multiple workbooks I just need to change the master workbook.
i need vba code to Automatically Click on "Yes" button. Actually i download excel file from website, it seems display security alert box before open the excel (ie:" Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file, Do you want to open the file now? "), i need a code to automatically click on "Yes" button in the Alert box.
I was wondering if possible i could use an on_click method to open the find facility in excel. I know it may be easier to use the Edit, Find or Ctrl+F way.
But i have people using excel with no past experience what so ever, and i would like to make it as easy as possible....i.e a click of a button that says "Search".
I have a menu structure in place so when a user clicks a button, it opens a Userform as a menu. The only problem i have is that if the user doesnt want to use that menu, and clicks on the spreadsheet, it doesnt dissapear.
Is there any VBA code that anyone knows that when a user clicks on the spreadsheet, or even just clicks their mouse anywhere (ie other menus at the top, spreadsheet, desktop) like a mouseout code on HTML so the menu will dissapear?
I am trying to make it so that when you double-click in a cell in column A, a message box opens populated with the text string in the corresponding cell (same row) in column Z. Seems to me like it should be easy enough, but despite spending the last hour searching for clues, I can't seem to figure it out.
I have spreadsheet with client names. I'd like to build logic that will open a form with client information when a user double-clicks on the client name. But I have a couple of problems.
- First, I'd like to protect the sheet and hide the formulas. But when I protect the sheet, I get the "the cell or chart you are trying to change is protected" error when I double click the protected cell.
- If I deselect the "Select Locked Cells" options when I protect the sheet, I no longer have the ability to double-click on the cell.
how I can double click on a cell yet not allow the user to edit the cell (or see the formula)?
