View 3 RepliesIn a module I have the following code. When I call sub Test1 I get a runtime error 1004, although the workbook 'database1' does exists in the same path.
VB:
Option Explicit
Public Const DBname1 = "database1.xls"
Public myPath As String
[Code]....
It checks to see if DataImport2, 3 and 4 exist and then executes code.
Currently DataImport4 does not exist so it should not execute anycode but for some reason the code is still trying to execute it and select Sheets("DataImport4").Select
Is there anyway in which I can open a spreadsheet and then delete any macros which exist in that file with VBA?
For Example
Workbooks.Open "\sysdevwebwCorpAcctSuiteReportsNetProfit.xls"
''Delete Any Existing Macros Code''
Activeworkbook.Save
Activeworkbook.Close
I am using below mentioned Code for checking if certain file exist on Path.
Its working on my home PC (XP SP2 Excel 2003).
BUT its not working on my office PC (XP SP2 Excel 2003).
Can somebody tell me why its not working in my office PC ( or if its missing something, then from where can i download it.)

.Offset(i, 2).Value = "Yes"

My problem is that I want to loop through a directory that contains csv files. The directory is dynamic so everytime could be a different number of files inside. I want the loop to go through each file and check if that file exists. If it doesn't to print a message that this specific files doesn't exist. Until now I got the following code:
[Code] .........
I guess I should somehow place the counter j inside the Dir path in order to check if everytime time the file[j] exists?
I have two workbooks open, the first is a summary, the second has new data that needs transferring into the summary. Before transferring the data I need to check that 10 specific sheets exist in the file with the new data.
I have found some code that checks for one sheet name, but really need to check for 10 specific names, if any are missing then I need a message to appear, listing the missing ones and stopping the macro from proceeding,
Dim mySheetName As String, mySheetNameTest As String
ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
mySheetName = "Data"
On Error Resume Next
mySheetNameTest = Worksheets(mySheetName).Name
If Err.Number = 0 Then
[code].....
I get the following error:
"Run-time error '1004': "cmc4906.xls" File cannot be found.
Check the spelling of the file name and verify that the file
location is correct."
I am not trying to open a xls file. The path is clear and there are no file names with extensions in the path name (C:Weekly). I'm unclear of why the code thinks its looking for file cmc4906.xls and a xls file at that.

I run a workbook an I want to save it by it's date. In Simple word :
If the workbook did'nt exist save it, or it's already exist.
Sub SaveWorkbook()
Dim strFile As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim year As String
FileName = "Sales"
year = Sheets("Values"). Range("G2").Value
strFile = FileName & year ' For Example: Sales2007
ChDir "C:Sales"
If Dir(strFile) = "" Then
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=strFile, FileFormat:=xlNormal
Else
' Don't Accept saving and exit sub.
MsgBox "File already exist " & strFile, vbInformation
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
I have two sheets containing data, Sheet 1 and Sheet 2. Sheet 1 contains columns A-P, while sheet 2 only contains columns A-K.
Some of the records listed in Sheet 2 are already in Sheet 1 with more complete data, but there are some records not in Sheet 1 and the only information available for these records is in Sheet 2.
I am looking for a macro that will compare columns A in Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 and for any records found in Sheet 2 but not sheet one, the entire row A-K of Sheet 2 will be added to Sheet 1.
I have a workbook with 2 sheets of data. I'm having trouble coming up with a code that can check if a row from sheet 2 does not exist on sheet 1, and if not, copy that row from sheet 2 and insert it into sheet 1 (preferable on the fist blank row).
It should check 4 specific columns on sheet 2, and if sheet 1 doesn't contain a row with the same data in those same 4 columns than the entire row should be inserted into sheet 1.
For example lets say row 4 of sheet 2 contains the values "Blue" in column D, "Green" in column E, "Yellow" in column H, and "Purple" in column I. If sheet 1 does not contain a row (any row, not just row 4) with those same 4 values in those same columns, then the entire row from sheet 2 should be inserted into the first empty row in sheet 1.
I want to sume numbers that may or may not be in several cells. If I use the function SUM and one of them is missing, I get an error.
Example:
A1=2
A2="empty"
A3=5
I want the sum of A1+A2+A3 to be 5

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering how I can unlist listed objects if a list or lists exist on a sheet.
I tried the following , but it doesn't work.
I am really new to using Excel macros and having an issue trying to insert data in a column where the data may or may not already exist. In Column A I have a list of product lines.
Prodline1
Prodline2
Prodline3
Prodline4
Prodline5
I want to search through this list and if Prodline1 does not exist, then add a Prodline1 row to the end of the list, then check for Prodline2, Prodline3 etc and do the same. On any given month I may or may not have data for the Prodline but I still need to see it in my list. I've tried this code below but only get data if I define an actual cell and it only works for the first one.
Set R = ActiveSheet.Range("A1")
endrange = Range("A65000").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To endrange

I would like to know if it is possible to use a wilcard in an IF/THEN statement. For example, in Cell A1 I have 1234, in Cell A2 I have 9934, in Cell A3 I have 8346659. I want to build an IF/THEN statement in Cells B1, B2 and B3 whereby it looks at cells A1, A2 and A3 appropriately and where ever it finds a "34" anywhere in the cell it gives me a "YES" or "NO" reply.

I am looking for some help with what i guess is an "if" statement that if no picture is found paste "Sorry no picture found" in c3.
Here is code

How do I reference the values in TextBoxes on pages in a MultiPage form that have not yet been created?
I need to add all of the first TextBoxes values on each page starting with page 2 and place the sum into the first TextBox on page 1. And do the same with the second and third TextBoxes.
I have included a sample workbook to show what I am trying to do.
I have this situation
On the first tab there is a list of IDs
45
676
234
451
788
On the second tab there are thousands of IDs in 3 columns (A,B,C)
What should be the best way to click on the button on the firs tab and see 'yes/no' whether ID exists in second tab in any column ?
I need to compare a text box value to a dynamic range the value will be entered in upon a command button click. If the value matches a value within the range, then message box "Duplicate Item Found." Also, if the value is blank, then message box "Please Enter A Value." And finally if the value proves to be unique and not blank, then add the value to the range.
I want to do this on a command button click so that I can use the textbox with 2 other buttons: one to refresh the textbox to a blank value, and one to exit the form the textbox is located in.
I have 5 sheets, each sheet has 1 column of data (column A). I want to find the values that exist in all sheets. I will gather all values in 6th sheet, and I want to write "YES" in column B next to value that exists in all 5 sheets. How can I do this? For example:

I cannot figure out why the Count function counts blank cells.. Data adjacent to the blank cells were pasted from Access datasheet.

I wrote a macro that selects 3 charts existing in a sheet and sets the axes to auto scale option. The charts are labeled Chart 2, Chart 6 and Chart 7 by default, the macro selects each of then and then sets the auto scale option.
Is it possible to use 'If then' statement to check if the chart object exists ? In case they do exist then macro works on them but if not then it goes to the next statement.
Or is there any other way to check if objects exists or not, because sometimes the macro is used for old files (template) and the chart objects there have different numbers and not 2, 6 and 7. So to use macro for both templates( new and old) its better to check first. This way the macro becomes more flexible.
I have done a spreadsheet that shows leave for staff. At anyone time there can be only 3 managers and 4 staff off as a maximum and the cell value for the day is entered as "AL". Therefore on a given day if someone tried to enter a fifth "AL" for example in the staff section a pop up displays stating they have reached a maximum.
