VBA Routine Refuses To Change Cells
Aug 23, 2008
I've posted the simple sheet elsewhere and others report that the sheet and routine works fine for them. The exact same sheet that is failing for me.
The algorhithm itself works for me too - everything is parsed correctly and the proper range successfully receives the .ClearContents command. It's just that, on my sheet, nothing happens.
I have the entire book and sheet unprotected, all the cells unlocked, and permission for all macros to run. I.e. I've removed every possible "excel-level" roadblock I can think of. I've tried restarting Excel, even rebooting -- all with no luck. The page still doesn't work.
What other possible settings might be causing the consistent failure when I try to run the sheet whereas other users (reportedly) have no such problem with my VBA routine and their identical copy of my sheet?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim n As Long
Dim clearTable As String
Dim clearTrigger As String
Dim clearRegion As String
With ActiveSheet
clearTable = Range("ClearRegions").Text ' Get clear table.................

I'm trying to clear one set of cells when a change is detected in another, but my VBA function refuses to change the cell values.
Attached is a stripped-down version of the sheet & code which manifests this problem.
The affected cells are unlocked etc, and the code is correct -- at least, it correctly gets to the proper range (or cells) on which to call (in my various attempts) ClearContents, .value="", etc. So the problem is not the algorhithm passing the variables but in the specific attempt to change a sheet's cells' values.

I received a great little routine from you guys to a question which was a follows
Can Excel do this?
I have a huge spread sheet - The formulas in each cell reads as follows:
='[1.xls]Community Libraries'!$A$9. I would like to copy the cell all the way down the column, but only 1.xls must change to 2.xls and 3.xls etc. Can Excel copy this way?. I'm using Excel 07 on this pc
The response was:
Sub PutFormula()
For i = 1 To 80
Range("A" & i).Formula = "='[" & i & ".xls]Community Libraries'!$A$9"
Next
End Sub
Can this be modifed to:
A) Start on row 6 and end on row 85 of each Column A to CZ
B) Modify the end bit of the formula as follows Community Libraries'!$A$9&"/10"

I am in the process of re-building a major project due to bugs. In the process, I plan to re-organize my sub-routine grouping within modules. In the source file, I have 18 standard modules, with 10-30 routines in each one.
What I would like is a printout of each routine name and which module it resides in, so I can check off each one as I copy it and paste it into the new file. I see that I can get a psuedo tree-view of my project in th eObject Browser, but can't figure out how to print that.

I have a spreadsheet that I was sent (with some resource calculations on it - nothing major or huge) and I have added a sheet to it. The issue is that, on the existing sheets, any formula I add works but on the new sheet - they don't!. I get on the new sheet is the formula written out in the cell:
=vlookup(b2,table,2,false) rather than the answer
I have
- looked at the formula and it is correct
- cut and paste all sheets (values only) into a new sheet
- had a look in the VBA window - nothing stood out

All I want to do is create a group of 3 option buttons in an excel worksheet for a user to select one of two farm programs or none. (CIG or MRP or None) When a user makes a selection either CIG or MRP or None appears in a designated cell. I even used code in the VB editor help but it only shows how to operate one button (which is absurd.) I found an example using 2 buttons, but that wouldn't work either. Found a tutorial using 3 buttons and that wouldn't work. Is this a conspiracy? Every time I try to find help to do something simple in excel lately I hit a brick wall.

I am attempting to create a Spreadsheet which, when double clicking on a cell, loads up a Userform, has some times entered, calculates the difference and submits any overtime done.
I've had no problems doing the userform and the related coding to do the calculations. However, when I want to enter a time without the date (For example 0900), no matter how I do this the date always appears at the top in the formula bar.
I have tried http://www.cpearson.com/excel/DateTimeEntry.htm
to no avail, even when I just used this code in a blank workbook it still returns the date when I enter 1700 for example. And I have made sure the cell is formatted in "hh:mm:ss".
So, what is driving me stir crazy is why on earth my Excel is not letting me just enter times without colons and returning a date, no matter the formatting.

Here is what I am trying to do: I have 30 duplicate worksheets that I enter data every 3 months. I have a macro that clears certain fields and copies data from one field to other and I run this macro after selecting each sheet one at a time. How can I create a macro that will run this macro from the 1st sheet through to the 30th sheet in one click. My macro is called Clear_data.

All I want to do is to stop a routine when I press the Cancel key on the user form that the routine called. I have tried "stop", "quit", "end", "abort", et. al. This seems so simple but I cannot figure out how to do it.

I have an add-in that can run the code below. It works fine, however, I need it to run whether there is just one row of data, or 100 rows of data. I have headers, so the first row of data starts in row 2, and the last no matter what will be in row 100 (so 99 rows of actual data technically). There are usually only 10 rows of actual data as the rest are usally set to blanks with iferror. The code below works, but I need it to run for however many rows of actual data there are.

I've got three workbooks that end users will be using for data entry. The VBA code for the three workbooks is identical.
I'm trying to encapsulate the code into an add-in so I only have one copy of the code that I have to debug/maintain.
Furthermore, I've also encapsulated the code in the add-in into a class. The class isn't really a "usual" object modelling some data; rather, it's a utility class processing Worksheet_Change and Worksheet_Activate events. Hopefully this isn't a really bad idea, rather than keeping the code in standard modules in the add-in.
The application is called "Midas". Here are some code excerpts:
Midas.xlam:
Standard Module:
[Code] ......
Class Module:
[Code] .....
And in the end user workbook:
[Code] .....
The Wbk_SheetChange event handler is triggering, but it's looking for the code in the end user workbook, instead of the class. Is there a way I can change
[Code] .....
to call the private routine "Cases_Changed" (where "Cases" is the sheetname) residing in the class instead of looking for it in the workbook?

Here is an example script. All in one mod. I have taken out the junk in between to help edit the problem.
I'm looking to pass the same bnumber and dnumber to the secound sub.

How do I have a workbook execute VBA code when I hit 'Enter' anywhere on a specific sheet? I don't need the code to execute when I hit 'Enter' on any of the other sheets in the workbook, just a specific sheet.

I currently have a macro that runs every 10 seconds. This macro calls 5 sub-routines.
Code:
Public Sub Copy_Data()
*****code****
*****code****
*****code****
*****code****
Call SortData
Call Create_OutOfStock_File
Call Create_NearEmpty_File
Call Create_InStock_File
Call Create_Other_File
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:10"), "Copy_Data"
End Sub
I need to keep the current code to run Copy_Data every 10 seconds, however, i would like:
Code:
Call Create_OutOfStock_File
Call Create_NearEmpty_File
Call Create_InStock_File
Call Create_Other_File
To be called/run every odd minute, for example, 00:01:00, 00:03:00, 00:05:00

I am writing a lot of code and have separated each section in different modules For example, I have one module titled OpenR2D2 and another titled StoreName
I want the sub in StoreName to run at the end of OpenR2D2 but I get this compile error "expected variable or procedure, not module"
Here's the end of the code where I put it. What have I not thought of?
ThisWorkbook.Activate
Range("B9:G9").PasteSpecial
R2D2data.Activate
Range("B7:G7").Copy 'Sch Actual VLH
ThisWorkbook.Activate
Range("B12:G12").PasteSpecial
Call StoreName
R2D2data.Close Savechanges:=False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I am trying to develop a routine that will save the file I am currently working on, then save the current tab as a *.csv file with the name equal to cell "C1" in the same directory as the original file. Then I would like it to close the .csv file and reopen the original file all while being generic with the naming so that if the file name and location changes, the script will still work. I recorded a macro to get me started.

I have a macro that formats an imported report and I have inserted it's code into several other routines I have written.
Since there is always the possiblity of changes occurring, is there a way to refer to this macro in a second (or third or fourth) routine so that if a change has to be made to the original macro, I won't have to change it everywhere?

I have a workbook that uses the values that a user had entered into 3 cells to calculate multiple other charts/diagrams on multiple sheets within the workbook. Each sheet would show what the user had entered in the 3 cells to allow them to see what is being used to calculate each table. Is it possible to link these cells so that the user can change the 3 values without having to go back to where he originally entered the 3 values?
For example, a user has entered in 3 values in Sheet 1. A formula in Sheet 2 displays what is entered by the user and uses these calls in Sheet 2 for calculations. When the user wants to change the three values, he would have to navigate to Sheet 1 and enter in the new values to have the workbook recalculate all the tables. Is there a way to link the three cells from Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 so when the user is on Sheet 2, he has the opportunity to change the values on the current Sheet without having to navigate to Sheet 1 to do so?

I am trying to complete a toolbar that will lock and unlock all the sheets in a workbook. While I can set the password automatically I'd like to have the macro ask for the password instead of hardcoding it.
Here is the code I currently have and works so long as I have already set the password in the workbook to match what is in the macro

I want to thank you all for the solutions/support I received in completing my (for me) difficult workbook.
I still have a tricky problem. In the example below, can Multibeep "know" when it is being called from Beep versus being excuted directly? And if so can I direct a different sequence?

In my code I am using several variables to create a concatenated string and this is making my code quite lengthy..Now I have manged to use it in the SELECT CASE but it still remains big..
SO I was thinking if it were possible to break it into smaller parts and create a Sub-Routine which can be called in the Main code in the select case for the specific condition this way I can use it in Multiple places without hassles..
find the code which I need passing the variables..
Code:
Sub Condition_I()
Dimm Search_Value as string
Dim INo As Long
Dim Whole_Text As String
Dim Lookup_No1 As String
Dim Lookup_No2 As String
Dim Condition_I_Text As String
Dim WksI As Worksheet
[code].....
I need to pass the Search_Value from the Main Code and also the whole_text back to the Main Code..

How can I edit the following code. If the "Dload" tab is not there the code errors out. How can I make it so that if the "Dload" is not there the macro says "Dload tab missing. Do you want to check file and try again" If the user says yes. then the macro lets the user pick another file. If the user chooses No then does similar quesiton like I have here starting with
OpenA.Activate.

I have a number of countries that will distribute an amount of points. And then each country distribute that amount of points( % taken of total points to distribute between countries) between his cities, BUT here the distribution depends on the importance of the city.
Now when I have two cities, for example Madrid and Sevilla, it doens´t matter which one get the most point (as they are in the same importance of the city), but they must have more points that a city in category "B".
here is an example
Here I have the countries with there % of distribution of the points
Spain25,25
France50,64
Belgium12
Holland12,11
Total100%
Total points to give away522
Amount to distribute
Spain25,25132
CityImportanceAmount distr
Madrid A 48
Barcelona B 20
Sevilla A 34
Granada C 7
Valencia B 23
SUM 132
France50,64264
CityImportanceAmount distr
ParisA ….
LyonB ….
BordeauxA ....
OrlansC ….
I thought maybe using some kind of command as RANDOM() or so to do this.

I was able to get my four conditional statements in VBA to work. This covers one complete row of data (week), but I need it to cover an entire year. Rather than cut and pasting 365 times (and some UGLY code at that), I have been trying to figure out how to add a loop or something to cover a range of different rows. Basically Columns B though V are good for row 21. Now every 14th row I need this routine to work for (B35:V35, B49:V49, etc) for 52 weeks. I was playing around with the idea of two for statements taht would count shifts (21 = 7 * 3) and weeks (52). Then step the rows at 14 and the columns at 1 (Rows = Rows + 14) for 52 iterations. I'm sure there is a better way to distribute this routine.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim changeRange As Range
Select Case Mid(Target.Address, 2, 1) 'Column Letter
Case "B"
Set changeRange = Range("B21")
Case "C"
Set changeRange = Range("C21")
Case "D"
Set changeRange = Range("D21")
Case "E"
Set changeRange = Range("E21")
