Using Command Button To Clear Cells
Dec 11, 2012
I have created a command button, right clicked the button and selected 'View Code'. In the code window I've entered the following code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
IB_FB_Hedge_3 Outcome.range(W10:X11).ClearContents
End Sub
As soon as I enter the code a message pops up:
"Compile error:
Expected: list separator or )"
Is my syntax wrong? Is the sheet name, 'IB_FB_Hedge_3 Outcome' not allowed?
When I created this code a few minutes before I was not having the 'Compile error' problem, but the Command Button was not working either. When I clicked the command button it would just show the circles at the corners, suggesting that it is still in editing mode and not properly activated as a command button.

I want to create a command button that will clear whatever is written in a text box. I guess for this to work it needs to select all, then clear. The command button and the text box have been created using the control toolbox.

I am trying to create a command button in Microsoft Excel (Office 2000) that enables me to reset the check box status for a worksheet from checked to unchecked. The worksheet contains approximately 50 check boxes and is meant to be reused. Is this possible? If so, how can I program it to do so?

I have a worksheet from which I regularly clear all contents by selecting all the rows and selecting 'Clear Contents' from the right button menu. However, I now have added a formula in Col Y that I want to protect. I know I could select all columns up thru X, but that would clear the R1 headers, so I want to avoid doing that. I can always work around, but I'm curious, is there a way to clear only values and thus protect the formulas when using the Clear Contents command?

I'm putting together a time sheet that can used to calculate total hours worked by department etc. I plan on protecting the worksheet and only allowing certain cells to be selected and data entered.
Is there a way using VBA to place a button on the first spreadsheet that will clear all cells that are 'unlocked'?

I need is the code for a command button to copy the info in specific cells, to a text box that I have created.
Lets say the cells are in sheet1 and the text box is on sheet 2. The command button will be on sheet3
Also I am copying multiple cells. so If the code can include an example with multiple cells it would be great

i want the user to be able to change the cell color on the click of a command button. the worksheet is protected. when the user click the command button the active cell changes to red and offsets by 1. then the work sheet is locked again.
The two problems I am having is 1. I want the range to begin from row 10, column k to column FD. all cells down
the second problem is the current code allows me to edit locked cell columns A to J ...

Is it possible that when you press a command button, that the first thing it does is to execute the code assigned to another command button (IE in another sub).

How can I return name of a command button on click? I want to create some sort buttons on a sheet I will use regularly to speed things up. I thought if I could call each sort button by the column letter the button sits in I can use this in a single sub for all buttons
e.g the button sitting in column A is called "A". when i click the button, it returns it's name to a variable which I can then use to sort column A. I know I could create a seperate routine for each button but I was just trying to think of something neater.

I have a userform with a button on it named But1. Is it possible to store But1 into a variable then activate the But1_Click action using a variable?
Dim strButname As String
strButname ="But1"
Now, how would you activate the But1_Click method using strButname variable. With listboxes you can use the Control(strListboxName) methodology?
This doesn't work, but gives you an idea of what I am trying to do.
Controls(strButname)_click

I currently am using a form button to create new rows.
I need two different kind of buttons. I have a button that does this-
VB:
Sub InsertRow()
'this inserts a row where the button is clicked.
Dim r As Range
[Code]....
However, when I try and create these codes using a Command button (I need it for the color), I get the error
"unable to get the buttons property of the Worksheet class"
P.S one other thing, say the button is in row 3, and Cells A1 and A2 are merged, when you click the button in row 3, it should extend the merge to A3.

This is probably really straight forward but cant see why it happens, the following macro works fine when called by a button created by the form toolbar but doesnt when called by a command button, get the runtime error 1004, "select method of range class failed"
ActiveSheet.Select
Range("B4:B37").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("G4:G37").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("D1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("F1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("J1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("M2:M3").Select
Selection.ClearContents

I have attached a test workbook excel 2010 (ignore ref# errors, I've cut the workbook down for uploading purposes) What I would like to do is have a 'Button' on my 'information Sheet' which when clicked would clear certain cells. I have searched the forum but can't find a solution, everyone seems to want to delete rows or columns but I just want to clear certain cells. The workbook will have 11 sheets each named 'caravan 1' through to 'caravan 11' The uploaded test workbook only only has 3 sheets.
On 'caravan 1' (which is slightly different to the other 10) I want to clear the content of cells
B4 & B5
C4, C22 & C41
D4 & D5
E4,E5, E22,E23,E41 &E 42
On all other 'Caravan sheets' I want to clear the contents of cells
D4 & D5
E4, E5, E22, E23, E41 & E42
It would be icing on the cake if it could give a warning such as " are you sure you want to clear these cells" but that isn't really necessary. The worksheets will be password protected, but the cells mentioned above will not be. If it proves too difficult to clear all the cells on all the sheets with one click, then perhaps a simpler solution might be to have a button on each sheet instead

I have read several articles saying using a command button as a toggle button can't be done but some articles have said it is possible using the state properties.
.State = msobuttondown
.State = msobuttonup
Is there any way to combine this with the onaction property so that when you press the button, it stays down and activates a macro then when you press it again it pops back up and activates another macro.

I'm trying to create a command button on my sheet that when clicked will find all rows in column u that read Engineering Evaluation and then copy certain cells from that row to another sheet. The kicker is that this button will be used over and over again as more entries are entered into the log. I only want each row counted once.
Right now I get a run time error for the "For Each Cell In Application.Intersect(Range("u:u"), target)" line.

In ThisWorkbook Userform2 is triggered upon a double click
Private Sub Workbook_SheetBeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
UserForm2.Show
End Sub
Userform2 has Frame1 (Option Buttons 1-6) and Frame2 (Option Buttons 7-12)
Private Sub OptionButton1_Click()
Call ProjectBuildings
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton10_Click()
Call BondIndustrial
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
The user can click away and things work great. The macros that are triggered search a number of Workbooks and individual Worksheets looking to select either of two (hence the two Frames) specific items.
If the user clicks any Option Button in Frame 1 (works) then any Option Button in Frame 2 (works) then goes back to the same Option Button in Frame 1 (nothing) I have a problem.
How do I clear the first Option Button in Frame 1 after the user selects another Option Button in Frame 2?

I have a CLEAR FORM command button
What codes can I use so that when I click CLEAR FORM, all the data that I encoded in the textboxes of my current userform will be erased as if I have a fresh new form?

I'm just finishing a project that is a collection of three calculators, each of which returns data based on a series of user-supplied variables. All the mechanics are working [thanks in part to replies to previous posts], but there is one more thing I'd like to add:
Does anyone have a way to clear the contents of another cell [actually several] cells via another cell? As the most complex calculator requires eight variables to be entered, I'd like to provide a quick way [a button?] to "clear" or "reset" the calculator - basically wipe all unlocked cells. I should note that all of the cells in question already have Data Validation of one type or another.

I keep encountering an error while creating multiple sheets within the same workbook. This is a known error by Microsoft as documented here. In order to avoid using multiple workbooks i need to clear excels cache each time I run the macro as i have limited users sheet creation to 30 sheets which should not trigger the error. Does any one know a code to clear excels cache or memory?
I have used cutcopymode = false but that does not do the trick.

I have seen this before in spreadsheets so I atleast know it is possible.
I have a worksheet that has 6 sheets in it. The final sheet is a formula page that only shows results if sheets 2-5 have data. Sheet 1 holds all the master data. Sheets 2-5 show subsets based on sheet 1. I manually atm filter sheet 1 for certain info and then copy paste into 2-5.
Seeing as I do this weekly. How would I go about adding in a 7th tab or even a macro that will delete all data from row3-end in tabs 2-5, then copy the appropriate data from tab 1 based on a set criteria?
I could write this in a macro just wondering if there is an easy built in way?

Function FindNth(Table As Range, Val1 As Variant,Val1Occrnce As Integer, _
Val2 As Variant,Val2Col As Integer, ResultCol As Integer)
Dim i As Integer
Dim iCount As Integer
Dim rCol As Range
For i = 1 To Table.Rows.Count
If Table.Cells(i, 1) = Val1 And _
Table.Cells(i, Val2Col) = Val2 Then
iCount = iCount + 1
End If
If iCount = Val1Occrnce Then
FindNth = Table.Cells(i, ResultCol)
Exit For

Next i
End Function
To use this function, push Alt+F11 and go to Insert>Module. Paste in the code, push Alt+Q and save. Use the function as shown in graphic example. You can access it under "User Defined" in the Paste Function (Shift+F3).

I have searched this topic but I came up with nothing regarding my exact situation.
I have 5 buttons on sheet 1. I want them to all direct me to another sheet in the same workbook. However, some buttons will contain more than one sheet.
Example: Button 1 will direct me to 4 different sheets. Is this possible?
Also, When I open the workbook, I see many sheets that I am working from but I do not want them to show up when I open the workbook. The only way to see these sheets is to click on the command buttons at the top of sheet 1.

When I press a command button I want to:
Uncheck a checkbox made with Control Toolbox
Check a particular Option Button within a group box made with the Forms Toolbar.
EDIT: Clarification, I want both things to happen when I click one button.
