Using A Macro/VBA To Automate Filter Selection

Oct 4, 2007

I've recorded a macro which selects "1" in a filter drop-down box then prints some pages, then comes back and selects "2" in the filter then prints some pages, etc etc etc.

I've looked at the code for this and it treats the "1", and the "2" etc as text each time - originally I had the filter on names, but the names change each time I need to do this whilst the process doesn't, so I filtered on numbers instead.

However, I would have to enter the repeated blocks of code down to 1000 to get it to select down to "1000" in the filter. About 3/4 lines each time but with me manually typing in 1, 2, 3, 4 .... 999, 1000.

Is there a way to say in VBA 'repeat filter selection until you've run out of numbers then come back to "All" and stop ?

Automate Advanced Filter

Sep 8, 2009

Basically I have set up a list on sheet1, this is now on a drop down in sheet2 and my raw data in sheet3.

I want the table in sheet2 to just display the product items I select in the dropdown but it is displaying all the raw data (although is updating when I update the raw data)

Granted I copied the code whilst researching but I'm just not quite there.

Could someone possibly look at the attached and let me know where I am going wrong. Also as you can tell I am very new to teh VB application in Excel, could anyone reccommend a good place to start learning the very basics?

Automate Advanced Filter With VBA

Jan 17, 2009

I need to lookup and concatenate all the header values where the value in the corresponding row equals a certain value. For example, column D, has the column header value if the cell values equals "X". Likewise column E has the column header value if the cell values equals "Y". I have too many columns (this is just a simplified version) to use nested if statements.


resource1resource2resource3 XResources YResources
Jeff X resource2
John X X resource2 resource3
Jim Y resource1

I'm not an excel newbie, but I keep thinking there must be a simple solution that I am missing.

Automate Time & Date Insertion Upon Cell Selection

Jan 21, 2010

I have a Workbook with about 20 Worksheets, for each sheet I have a Selection Change Event that simply performs the Following:

MainSheet1. Range(“Z1”) = Now

1 Cell on every Sheet then is pointed to this cell via =Main!Z1. Problem is that when this is preformed Each Row from the Other In-Active Sheets and sometimes a near-by Button will Appear on my Active Sheet. I cannot select the parts of the sheets that appear and when I scroll down till they are out of view and then scroll back up they are gone until I select another cell and it happens again. I have tried in the Z1 cell to just put =NOW() and Make Calculations Manual and then with the selection change to call MainSheet1.Calculate or Workbook.Calculate but this has the very same effect and the other sheets bleed onto or ghost onto my Active Sheet. So far the only way I’ve been able to get around this is:

If Application. ScreenUpdating Then
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
MainSheet1.Range(“Z1”) = Now
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Else
MainSheet1.Range(“Z1”) = Now
End If...............

Advanced Filter On Name Selection

Apr 8, 2014

I have a large Excel with details of 1,000 staff

Column J1 is called: Resource Name which has 1,000+ staff other columns have corresponding Hours, Project names etc

I want an advanced filter where I select COLUMN J:J and filter this whole sheet based on say 25 names (in the format they're in) e.g

Frank, James
Wilkonson, Paul,
etc

In the Advanced Filter, Ive selected J:J as LIST RANGE, but how do I input an OR statement in the Criteria, as above i.e where name is Frank, James OR Wilksonson, Paul OR

Alternatively, I have the list of the 25 names in Sheet 2, can the Advanced Filter do a VLOOKUP then filter entire Sheet based on the names provided?

Weighted Average After Filter Selection

Jan 11, 2007

I am looking for a formula that calculates the weighted average list price. In the attached file you'll find a formula which i've got through Ozgrid. The formula in cell I1 is: sumproduct((i4:i69)*(j4:j69))/sumproduct((j4:j69)*(i4:i69<>"")
That formula is perfect untill i filter data. For example:

The weighted value for the entire datasheet is 25.83%. After i made a filter selection on France the weighted value is still the same. How can i modify this formula so that it only calculates the weighted average for the selected records?

Listbox Selection To Filter Pivot Table

Jan 29, 2010

I have a Pivot with a Userform containing 3 cascading Listboxes, each listbox fills down to the next. What i am trying to do is have the result of the listboxes to filter the Pivot table. Keeping it simple for a moment, in listbox1 user has a list of Departments and clicks "Liquor" then the Pivot should only show items within the "Liquor" departments. How do i achieve this? Also when looking at other treads and seeing the code offered, should i be trying to filter the Pivot Table field in the Page or Row area?

I want to create multiple pivot tables each performing its own tasks. When i want to filter a particular category in all first pivot tables i have to do this one by one.

This is time consuming and i think it can be done faster. Is it possible when i filter a category in pivot table 1 that this filter is automatically filtered in the other pivot tables?

Filter Choice Selection Based On Combobox Values?

Apr 24, 2014

I am trying to create a macro that will allow the user to select choices from combo boxes on a userform. The choice of one combo box determines what will be shown in the next combo box and so on. This will occur a set number of times (depending on what they are looking for), at which point the list of possible choices will be presented.

I populated one combo box in UserForm_Initialize() but then I might have to change the others with Combobox1_Change()...

Filter Sheet Based On Checkbox & Listbox Selection

Nov 28, 2007

I have a spreadsheet in Excel, there are 13 columns of information being used. 3 of the columns have just data I typed in (model name, item code, original price) the other 10 have formulas (these formulas are price discounts that will be taken off of the original price. 9 of them also have a check box on the top of the column so if the the checkbox is selected, the formula will give the customer the amount discounted off the original price(keep in mind that not all of the columns can be used together, for example, on product "A" maybe only 3 of the boxes can be used whereas on another product maybe 5 can be used). I made a multiple listbox, so that if a customer selects a product or multiple products and clicks the ok button, the sheet will only show the specific products they selected. My problem is that when I press the "OK" button nothing happens. I don't know how to link all of this together.

Automate Macro With A Loop

Sep 11, 2013

I have worked out how to get my macro behaving the way I want however now I would like to automate the whole process. Basically I would like the macro to work its way down a column (in this example column F) until it has completed and there is no more data in the row before the last.

Here is a code snippet of my macro

Code:
Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+a'
If ActiveCell = 2013 Then
ActiveCell.Offset(, 2).Range("A1:E1").Select
Selection.Cut
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll ToRight:=24
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 24).Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If

[code]......

Macro Or VBA To Concatenate Or Automate Ampersand Use?

Jul 10, 2014

I have got the general principles of macros and VBA downpath.

Excel Example.xlsx

The document I'm working with is confidential, so this is an example. Basically, I'd like to string together the content of all cells from the second column associated with each company in the first column (separated by comma + space). In the original document, the companies are located in B2 to B8486, and the key words are located in D2 to D8486. My example uses ampersands, but I seem to understand Concatenate would yield the same results.

Macro To Automate Text Function?

Feb 15, 2014

I am trying to write a small macro involving Len and Left formulas. This will take input from two cells and and give the value on a third cell. I know how to do this on excel. This goes as follows:

Value on A5 = HB_AM_1
Value on B5 = 1

My formula to extract the specific text =LEFT(A5,LEN(A5)-LEN(B5)-1).

My result on D5= HB_AM

Here, my inputs are clearly defined and I can write this formula on cell D5 to get the result. I can copy this down to the end of my data and I can get my result.

My challenges: I need to do this for various reports where the data extends to various rows. I think looping will solve the problem, but not sure how to do it. The value on cell B5 will always show the last number at the cell A5 (1 in the eg above). So, if the number in A5 is 10, value in B5 will also be 10. This is already there in my data, so I do not worry about this part.

Macro To Automate VLookup On New Sheet

May 20, 2008

I have a stock sheet of about 1500 items that is printed every 3 months for stock take.

The changes are then entered manually. I have set up a stock order sheet using VLookup and manually enter the items that need to be ordered. I'm wanting to know if i could use a macro to do this automatically and check only for the stock items that have changed (ie. items have been sold ). Stock levels needed on hand are usually constant but is changed from time to time so will have to be taken into consideration. I have included an example worksheet which would better explain what i have been doing so far. Also if possible could the macro generate a new worksheet for the order sheet and name it the corresponding date and month of generation.

Automate Macro And Lock Cells

Oct 6, 2008

I have a macro in Module1 of workbook "BAU" called "ExtractToSheets" which exports data depending on the contents of a cell (Thanks royUK et al)

At the moment however, you must run the macro manually to export the data.

Now, i have put some simple validation in column K of worksheet "BAU Data" within the "BAU" workbook. Whenever a cell within a predefined range with column K is changed to "Yes" i want the macro to run AND i want the row the cell is in to be locked so it cannot be edited further by the user. I have had too many users mess up previous sheets i have made to collect my data, and i wish to make this one somewhat more idiot-proof!
Any pearls of wisdom folks?

I would have attached a representation of my sheet, unfortunately because there is now a macro in my spreadsheet, our trigger-happy security software won't let me post it!

Automate Advanced Filters With Macro

May 29, 2007

I need to use the Advanced Filter tool to allow the user to filter (in-place) the Guests worksheet while providing the following summary stats: total revenue, ave. revenue, max/min revenue and total number of tours ie the user should be able to enter any criteria below the database to to show only those records (and summary stats) that satisfy the criteria.

To automate the operation of the advanced filter tool, I need three macros. "SelectRoom" and "SelectGuest" macros should prompt the user to enter a value through an input box to filter the data according to a client's name or language tour. The third macro, called "ShowAllGuests" should clear the criteria row and dispay all clients in the database.

The first two macros should include an error message to prompt the user to rerun a macro if no clients satisfied the criteria while the "ShowAllGuests" macro should include a message box statement at the end to display a short message giving credit to the macro author. These macros also require a button each (three in total) in the Guests worksheet!

Macro To Make Copying Cells Automate

May 3, 2014

I've got a problem with copying cells from table A to B.

A short insight of the situation:

Table A shows: ITEM_1 = 3, consequently ITEM_1 from table A is copied to table B for 3 times.

I've got a few huge information blocks to handle (up to 5000 items) obviously it's unreasonable to do this manually.

I've added an xlsx file with more detailed description.

Macro To Automate Copy/paste Sequences

Nov 5, 2008

I have a spreadsheet tool that I use to calculate values on a set of variables, based on values on an initial set of other variables, for a large number of cases.

The calculations require a number of sequential steps to be repeated to get the calculated values for each case, and I am hoping there is a straightforward way to use a VB macro to automate this process.

Essentially, these steps are required to calculate values for a single case:
1. A data input sheet holds the values on the initial/input variables for each case. The first step involves copying the string of values for the case on the input variables into a sheet where the calculations are done.

2. As soon as the input string of values are pasted into the calculation sheet, the calculation formulas generate values for the case on the new, output variables.

3. The output variable string is then copied from the calculation sheet into a “results output” sheet. This copy/paste procedure needs to offset from the first row on the output sheet, so that the row number where the values on the output variables are stored correspond to the case ID. For example, case ID 10 is stored 10 rows down from the first row (i.e., on row 11). Case ID 100 is stored 100 rows down from the first row (i.e., on row 101).

As there are a very large number of cases, I need to have a “control panel” in place, where I can indicate the range of case IDs that will be processed. This takes the form of two cells – one indicates “From ID” and the other “To ID” (for example, “From ID” 1 “To ID” 100). The macro then uses this information to loop through the calculation steps outlined above for these case IDs.

Open Workbook, Run Macro, Save - Automate

Sep 16, 2006

I have 5 Excel files. The first one is Main, and the other 4 are subfiles, namely A1, A2, A3 & A4. I have a need to open Main, then click a button to start a Macro (in Main) which will do the following, sequentially:

1. open A1
2. run a Macro in A1
3. close and save A1.
4. open A2
5. run a Macro in A2
...
12 close and save A4.

The files A1..A4 are a file server and being shared. If they're being used by another user, it cannot be saved - so I would have to skip it and continue with the next A. It would be great if start Excel, open Main, and run the Macro in Main fully automatically.
