I'm stuyding the book "Professional Excel Development" which has a Project Template and an addin with several modules and a worksheet. I can view the addin's modules but not it's worksheet - is this normal for addin's? I haven't worked with them much before.
View 2 RepliesI have an addin in a shared folder which was created by someone else. (it is a user form). I need to create a macro which will go to its existing folder and then save it in the users personal addin folder also picking up their user id. There will be about 100 users so easier this way than going round doing it for them.
So I suppose the query is three fold.
1, pick up the addin and save it in a personal addin folder.
2, Find the username as part of the path file. For instance my personal would be:
"C:Documents and SettingsO033116Application DataMicrosoftAddIns"
The "O033116" is where I will need a search completed to obtain the user id.
The addin is called ServiceCredt.xla
3, Activate the installed addin.
The reason I want it this way is so the user is unable to access any of the code and we are in control.
I have an Excel Addin that I deploy as a read-only addin on a server share. I instruct my co-workers to add the Add-In as they would any other Add-In, but I tell the to answer NO to the Windows question "Copy 'AddinName' to the Addins folder for John Doe?".
That way, everyone will be working with the server version of the addin, and any time I want to roll out an updated version I just place a new addin file on the server. The next time the users restart Excel, the new version is loaded.
Except users never follow directions and some of them click the default 'Yes' when asked and get a local copy of the addin and never receive updated versions of the addin.
How do I disable the "Copy Addin" question completely? I don't want to depend on the user. I know this is possible because I have this 3rd party addin that we use that is installed from c:Program Files and it just stays there and you're never asked to copy the addin when you install it in Excel.
I have found an addin (http://www.quantdec.com/Excel/smoothing.htm) that adds a worksheet function smoothing data. It operates with 2 arguments:
- a range for the input data to smooth
- a parameter detailing how to do the smoothing.
It outputs a matrix of smoothed results, and therefore requires the Ctrl-Shift-Enter on a spreadsheet. Until there no problem, the function works properly. However I need to repeat the process about 100 times. Therefore I extended my ranges to duplicate the calculations, and that also worked fine. But because I don't need the intermediate data (100 columns by 1000+ rows) and I don't like to wait 2 minutes for the calculations to finish each time I open the saved file again, I thought I could just use VBA and only output the final results.
This is how the working syntax is in a cell:
=SMOOTH(B3:B1032, "5RSSH,5RSSH,>,5RSSH")
And there the nightmare starts :
- I cannot apply it even once: I get a type mismatch whatever I do to calculate the range and put it as an argument of the function. I used a string to store the range name and use it as is (B3:B1032 or even "B3:B1032") or with the Range function Range("B3:B1032"). I even tried to put manually "B3:B1032" with the same result. First major issue
- Because the worksheet function requires a range, I cannot use an array, or at least I tried without success. Therefore I need to output the result on the worksheet each time it is processed, and reread it through the formula, for n times the loop is running for... Kind of inconvenient... So I tried to modify the original smooth() function to create a new one that would accept an array as argument instead of range, but with the same consequence: Type mismatch when I feed the new function with an array (which I checked contains the data to process).
I have tried an example I found somewhere using a built-in Excel Worksheet function MMult and it worked with ranges:
Sub SomeSub()
Dim xArray As Variant, yArray As Variant, zArray As Variant
Dim Fn As Object
Set Fn = Application.WorksheetFunction
xArray = Range("A1:B2").Value
yArray = Range("D1:E2").Value
zArray = Fn.MMult(xArray, yArray)
ActiveCell.Resize(2, 2).Value = zArray
End Sub
I've design a small little excell program that brings up a form and hides the excel workbook upon opening. By using the form the user is able to input data to a worksheet in running in the background. I've added a button on the form where I want the user to be able to open the worksheet which is password protected and view or print the data. I've already got the code to hide the workbook, protect and unprotect the sheets, I just can seem to get the code to view the one worksheet.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel sheet that I want to scroll up and down and I want an area in the upper right-hand corner to display static information. This information could change as more input into the sheet is performed, but it always must remain in the upper right-hand corner.
For example, let's assume the sheet has 200 rows to enter in a credit card application. There would be an area in the upper-right that would display information for some of the cells that were typed in. So as you type information, labels would display information from the form. I know that I can program the selection change event to re-position the box and labels, but if I scroll off the screen, the area does not stay there until I click on a cell on the page. I am using XL2003.
I've got a "Title Sheet" in which our dispatcher can come in and enter date,workorder number , Location and an item description. I am needing help automating the process for them. I need the information entered into the Title Sheet to auto insert into an existing spreadsheet depending on what location is used.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIve searched for a solution around this site and it all leads to a dead end. I have a userform created in Excel, where I want to import a existing worksheet from another workbook and display it on the user form, so the user can edit it. I have tried using the Office SPreadsheet 10.0. By copy the excel file contents and pasting it into the spreadsheet cells, but PasteSpecial doesnt work so all the formating is out the door.

I think that I have to remove all the sheets apart from 1 from the document, and save it as an .xla, but I am struggling with making this an addin, and then being able to use the addin from other code.
Does anyone have some instructions or a link to a website that could direct me? I have done a google search, but search for Excel, VBA, and classes (as well as AddIns), just gives lots of links to classes (as in teaching).
I did modify some codes inside my addin, then did save the modified addin file by pressing the save icon from the VBA window..........but i found that the addin file was saved without the modification made to it. so i lost all modification did to the file. i donot know what i did wrong ?

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to force an addin to be installed in Excel 2003 using VBA? I have a spreadsheet that uses the solver.xla addin in a vba macro. It works fine on my machine, where I have manually ticked SOLVER in Tools>Addins and manually added a reference. However, it does not work when I send to someone else. It seems that the addin is not being installed. I have VBA code that opens it:
On Error Resume Next
s = Application.LibraryPath & "solversolver.XLA"
Workbooks.Open filename:=s
but even with this, i get a "Unexpected internal error occurred, or available memory as exhausted" when I try to run the following
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet. Unprotect
Application.Run "Solver.xla!SolverReset"
Application.Run "Solver.xla!SolverOk", "$D$46", 2, "0", "$L$13:$L$14"
Application.Run "Solver.xla!SolverOptions", 100, 100, 0.000001, False, False, 2, 1, 1, 0.05, True

Application.Run "Solver.xla!SolverSolve"
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=False, Contents:=True, Scenarios _

The one way to make it work is manually going into Tools>Addins and ticking it. This is confusing me as the above, along with the code that opens it, should not even require a reference, but it doesn't work without it

When running the following code for NSLookup in a module within the current workbook, it runs fine but when I put it in a XLAM file and try and use it as an addin I only get #NAME? as a result. I believe that that addin is installed properly because I have a second module with a sub routine in it (GetIPStatus) that is working, and when entering the command =NSLookup(A2) in a cell it shows up properly like it's an available function, but it does not seem to execute. Do I have to do anything special for a function to run as an addin?

Is it possible to make a setting in the registry, so next time excel opens
the addin is not "marked" in the addins-list. I can't do it manually because, because the close_event in the addin will be executed and that will screw things up.
Currently I'm looking at the regkeys: addin-manager and options, I see a change in the registry if I close XL when I unchecked an addin from the addin-list. It looks promising, but Iám not familiar with it

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set up a spreadsheet that will have a calculator where variables can be modified in order to properly see staffing requirements using the Erlang C formula. I have all of the known variables, but I can't seem to figure out how to calculate the formula to get the numbers I'm expecting.
[URL] is the website I'm using currently, and I'm stuck at the actual Erlang C formula. I'm not very good at math, but here is how I am reading the formula in English (I'm using the given numbers on the site for the variables so I can check my work).
Erlang C = calls per second to the power of agents staffed divided by the factorial of agents staffed. The result is then divided by calls per second to the power of agents staffed divided by the factorial of agents staffed again, that result is added to 1 minus occupancy, that result is multiplied by the summation of 0 to 54 (54 being the result of 55 agents staffed minus 1), which is then multiplied by calls per second to the power of "k" (i haven't yet figured out what k should equal, i assumed zero from the summation) divided by the factorial "k".
The result I get is not even close to what the website shows as the answer for Erlang, which should be .239. Am I making faulty assumptions anywhere? It's entirely possible I'm not computing the formula properly, it's been about 12 years since I've taken a math class, but since I know all the values for the variables (except for "k"), I should be able to write out a simple Excel formula to compute this.
