VBSCRIPT To Read / Update And Save?

Apr 2, 2012

All I am trying to do, is read an Excel file looking for the next cell to update, then update it and ultimately save it.

I cannot get it to work - all the checking says it should and yet it doesn't. I have included my simple code but not being a programmer, I just need this to work. The whole Excel VBSCRIPT is a mystery to me as to when methods etc can be used.

here comes the code

Set objXL = CreateObject("excel.application")
Set wbDest = objXL.Workbooks.Open(pathName & xlFile)
Set wksDest = wbDest.Worksheets("SpeedLog")
xlFindColCount = 1
Do Until wksDest.Cells(1, xlFindColCount).value = ""
xlFindColCount = xlFindColCount + 1

[code].....

VBA - Auto Save / Update

Mar 31, 2009

i have a workbook that pulls data from 7 other workbooks based off of 3 criteria. In 6 of the 7 workbooks there are 6 sheets and in the last sheet there are 15sheet. All the sheets are used on different computers and currently the member who use these sheets cant remember to save them so the main workbook can pull the information. So I was hoping for a VB code to do the save for them after they enter any data in the range of A1:J50.

Then for the main work book i was hoping for a VB code to auto update after entering the 3 criteria. I have a marco made but it takes awhile to do it. First it saves the sheet, then pulls the information, then refreshes some pivot table, then populates into the proper cells.

Update Workbook Name In Cell After Save As

Jun 6, 2007

I have a cell which uses part of the name of the workbook. This name is updated everytime I activate the sheet with this code (in the worksheet code section):

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Range("Workbook_Name").Value = ""
If Mid( ActiveWorkbook.Name, 34, 1) > "" Then
Range("Workbook_Name").Value = Mid(ActiveWorkbook.Name, 23, 12)
End If
End Sub

Workbook_Name is a named range for the cell in which I want the truncated portion of the file name to appear.

Is there anyway to trigger an update using vba with the SaveAs event?

Auto Save Shared Workbook And Update Display?

Jun 7, 2013

We are currently utilizing a shared workbook (yes, I've read the inherent problems with this). This workbook needs to automatically save any changes and refresh itself every minute. We are seeking an answer to this goal, perhaps utilizing VBA code ?

We have researched the forums and attempted numerous snippets of VBA code and different settings already available in Excel (ver 2010) without success. And, we have tried using the Advanced Settings (Shared Workbook / Advanced Settings (5 mins)) .... however the display of newly added data is not updated on all viewing terminals unless we close the shared workbook on those viewing terminals and then re-open.

Exporting Data To CSV VBScript

May 15, 2012

I'm having some trouble with a little VBScript I have put together to export data into a CSV file.

The VBScript goes through each individual Row in excel and basically exports it to a CSV file in the format I need.

Code:

Dim JobHeader As JobHeader
Dim JobDetails As JobDetails
Dim FileNameStr As String
Dim RowStart As Integer
Dim MsgResponse As Integer
Option Explicit

[Code]....

CloseFile:

Close #1
End Sub
Sub ProcessJobs()
JobDetails.JDShipName = Cells(RowStart, 3).Value 'Col 3
JobDetails.JDStreet = Cells(RowStart, 5).Value 'Col 5
JobDetails.JDBlock = Cells(RowStart, 6).Value 'Col 6

[Code]...

This is working perfectly however there can be multiple lines of different product for the same Order Number and I need to consolidate this into one single line where the JDItemDescription, JDQuantity and JDWeight are updated with the combined data.

I have attached a copy of the Spreadsheet so hopefully you can understand what I am after. [URL]...

Get Names Of All Worksheets In One Worksheet Without VBScript

Jun 18, 2012

Basically I want to be able to get the names of all sheets in a workbook. I know how to get Excel to print the name of the sheet in a cell once the file is saved, and I know how to hide sheets to make sure that all sheets are referenced in a range. If the name of the worksheet is in the same cell across all sheets (except the ones I don't want included on the totals page), is there a way to call that range and have Excel print off all the worksheet names in different rows or columns via a fill function?

Difficulties: the user may add/delete, rename, and have any number of, worksheets in the workbook. Because these variables are unpredictable, I am having difficulty figuring out the way to do this. Also, the formula should be able to ignore the sheets which have no value in the expected cell.

SaveAs VBscript File Path

May 10, 2008

I'm using a VBscript that will copy a worksheet and it works perfectly except that it saves the copy to the same directory as the original workbook. I need it to save to a different directory.

What I believe is the pertinent part of the code that needs adjusting is:

"Input box to name new file
NewName = InputBox("Please Specify the name of your new workbook", "New Copy")

' Save it with the NewName and in the same directory as original
ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & NewName & ".xls"
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False "

How would this be changed to specify that "NewName.xls" be saved to: D:/newdirectory/copies

Open/Update Linked Files, Convert To Values & Save To New Folder

May 21, 2008

I have a number of spreadsheets in a folder called country (each sheet is the name of a region). These sheets are linked to another sheet called master which is in another folder.

The regional sheets all have a list of wrap codes and pull details specific to each code from the master sheet. All wrap codes for all sheets are stored in the master, details for wrpas are manually entered here as well as any other associated information.

The link is kept by way of an index match formula used to populate information from the master for all wrap codes in the regional sheet.

Each of the regional sheets act as a report for a specific region and the master is the main source. Every week we need to open the regional sheets (some reside in different folders/subfolders) update the index match formulas in the sheet so that the data is refreshed and then save as a new file with data as values to another folder for reporting.

I am looking for a code that can automatically update all of the excel sheets in a given folder and then save them to a new folder automatically.

I have very very limited knowledge of VB (did make a hello world dialog box once) and am stuck as to any way to automate this process.

VBScript To Call Excel Macro - Loss Of Tab Functionality?

Aug 29, 2013

I am trying to open an Excel Workbook which in turn will automatically run a macro on loading which is a Userform. The Userform will contain 3 boxes, just some simple text boxes.

I don't want the Excel Workbook to show in the background, so I have opted to go for a VBScript to call the Excel Application and open the spreadsheet...

I have a current .vbs script which is as follows...

Code:
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next

[Code]....

This works fine, there is no workbook showing and the userform opens as expected. The problem is, I lose the functionality to tab between the boxes. When opening the Userform directly in Excel,

Excel 2013 :: Can't Unprotect Worksheet Created With VBScript

Aug 2, 2014

I've written a little VBScript that generates several hundred Excel 2013 worksheets. In order to protect the users from themselves I protected certain cells. Everything works as expected, except when I discovered that the password I used to protect the worksheet doesn't work to unprotect it. If it matters, I'm not trying to unprotect programmatically, just opening Excel and going that route.

Here's a snippet of my code:

File May Be Read-Only, Or You May Be Trying To Access A Read-Only Location

Jan 4, 2007

I'm trying to open a file on a network drive...but I'm getting the following error message when it opens: "This file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding." Now, the file itself has no rights restrictions and is not read only. It doesn't appear to be locked.

Now, there are other Excel files in the same directory which I could open fine; however, the Excel documents having the above problem all have a little black icon "appears to be a padlock" (image attached) at the bottom left hand side of the Excel file icon. I tried the following:

- Renaming
- Converting to a different file format (didn't work, it won't let me)
- Opening in notepad...etc doesn't work.

This file is dated back in 2004...do you think it's corrupt? Is there anything i can do to open or recover this?

Automatically Update Only With Numbers (ifnumber-update And Go To Next Cell)

Oct 18, 2013

Let's say that in column A I have numbers,"Yes" and "No". I want in column B to have only the numbers from column A, in the same order without any empty ranges, and everytime I add in column A a new number, column B to update automatically with that number. Let's have an example:

A B
Yes 12
12 13
No 10
13
No
10
Yes

And if I want to add in column A:
A B
Yes 12
12 13
No 10
13 25
No 15
10
Yes
25
15

So the column be will update automatically. I already tried =IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$10,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER($A$1:$A$10),ROW($A$1:$A$10)),ROWS(B$1:B1))-ROW($A$1)+1),") but using this many times get's my file very heavy and the excel is working slow.

Stop Update / Don't Update Requestor Message

Oct 27, 2008

I have some VB code which sequentially opens over 200 workbooks to extract data from each and populate another workbook. These workbooks do have links to other workbooks in them.
For some reason when some of these workbooks are opened I get a requestor window asking whether I want to Update or Don't Update the data. I always want to Update the workbook and believe this can be done in VB by hiding the requestor?

Autofill; Copy Down It Doesn’t Automatically Update The Cell References Because It Want To Update Them By Column Number Instead Of Row Number

Dec 11, 2008

I have a basic formula =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'!C24, and I want to copy it down just using the drag function. Problem is that the second reference range of cells are in rows and hence when I copy it down it doesn’t automatically update the cell references because it want to update them by column number instead of row number. IE I want it to display =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'!
D24, instead of C25. Do you know if there is any way of telling Excel that I want it to increase the column number by 1 every time, instead of the row number for this part of the formula?

Excel 2003 :: Unable To Allow Users To Make Changes To Workbook But Only Be Able To Do Save As Not Save

Dec 3, 2012

I have an expense report, which was originally done in Excel 2003. It still prompts users to open as read only however if they select no, they are not prompted for the password, and it has allowed them to save, so when the next person opens it, they have the previous person's report instead of the clean workbook. I have tried everything to put a password onto it. I know this is really basic stuff, but maybe I am missing a step? I want the end user to be able to make all the changes they want in read only mode and then do a save as, but if the select No when prompted "Open as Read-only?" they should have to put a password in.

Excel Save As Should Default File Save Type To XLSX Using VBA

Aug 21, 2012

What I am trying to do is that I have an excel file with macros and it is a read-only file. In order for the user to save, I want them to only be able to save as a .xlsx file as it disables all macros. If for whatever reason, the user wants to save the file as another .xlsm file, they should be allowed but before they save, a "are you sure you want to save as .xlsm?" message should pop up.

All the options in the save as box should still be available in case they want to save in that particular format. Just that the .xlsx should be the default.
