I have created a macro to open a workbook from another workbook and do a vlookup against the data in the source workbook. I then wanted to highlight the cells in the in the workbook that I'm doing the vlookup from, and to unhighlight any empty cells. I did this all without code using the macro recorder so that I could then study the code and learn something.
View 2 RepliesI have a worksheet with multiple sheets.
Users and Data
In users column A has email contacts from people that accessed a recoding on line. I need to be able to cross reference with another sheet called data where I will have their full name.
Basically I would like a macro that will check column A in users sheet and check in data the name column . If it finds last name or partial name in the mail it will highlight it in the users sheet and in the name column in data
User sheet
Column A is raw 1 is heading username
data sheet
column B is raw 1 Last Name
That way I am able to quickly identify a group of people if they did not watch the recording as user gives me indication on what they did.
I need a macro to highlight a cell based on other cells.
For example:-
1. I wants to highlight A3 in red if all the cells from I3 to Y3 are empty.
2. I wants to highlight A3 in yellow if I3 is filled and J3 is empty
3. I wants to highlight A3 in green if if I3 is filled and J3 is also filled.
Actually I am having a grid which shows all the components of watch like KIt, case, dial , strap,hands.
The A row is purchase order no and then I3 and J3 belongs to KIt means if a po is not then I3 and J3 are empty so A3 is high Lighted in REd and if a po is placed then we put supplier name in I3 and it changes the color to yellow and when a po is confirmed we put confirmation date in J3 so A3 turns to green.
So in this way we can see if any Po is not yet placed or not yet confirmed based on cell color.
I would like to know how I can have a macro run on an excel sheet of mine.
I have a little database with a few names and email addresses submitted to me via web.
But some people tried to register to my services TWICE with a different name, but same email address (not smart eh)
I would like to run a macro on a column and have it search for duplicate values and highlight them in... blue perhaps.?
P.s. the column format is set to 'TEXT'
I'm trying to Access data from an XL file without actually opening the file. In an XL spreadsheet I type in a cell: =VLOOKUP("A", 'C:[Book2.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$B$10,1) and get an answer without a problem. In VBA, I try the line of
Current = Application.VLookup("A", Range("'C:[Book2.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$B$10"), 1)
and get an error that says Method 'Range' of object '_Global' failed
The following code shows the result/formula that is generated in a particular cell when I run Macro2:
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running against this problem: a file should be run whenever people want.
however, the last part to complete the file is that the file from yesterday should be opened.
From this file data will be extracted via the VLookup formula...that's the plan.
However, with dim statements it won't work.
for now the code is:
Dim mynum, mysearch, this1, that1, other1
'Open the file from yesterday. Define the date string of this week and last week
mysearch = Left(mynum, 8) & Right(mynum, 2) - 1 'mynum is a date string like 2008-06-26
this1 = "Outstanding invoices " & mynum & ".xls"
that1 = "Outstanding invoices " & mysearch & ".xls"
Set other1 = Workbooks(that1). Sheets("Raw"). Range("comments")
ChDir "Z: FINANCEF&AAPInvoices overdue"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"Z:FINANCEF&AAPInvoices overdue" & that1
the "this1, that1" etc appear when you point with your mouse in the code as correct but
the VLookup function won't work: it takes a long time and when interupted the macro the cells show the VLookup formula with "[that1]" instead of the workbook's name.
I also tried to dim that1 as workbook but that did not help.
I am trying to use VB to vlookup between to workbooks
1. Make active workbook WBK1
2. Make workbook being open WBK2
3. Copy and Paste between WBK1 and WBK2
4. Have a vlookup in WBK1 and bring in the values from WBK2
5. Close WKB2
6. Copy, Paste, and transpose values in wkb1 within wkb1
The script works fine until it reaches the vlookup step. I have used the vlookup by itself without the copy and paste code successfully but when I combine the two it provides me with the error 9. Subscript out of range.
I am wanting to highlight a row if criteria is found in another workbook.
I expect VBA is needed and that is fine.
For row 9 I want this formula, but with a highlight result ...
I am able to to use the Vlookup to look up for value in the "Sheet sept". All value can be updated expect the item called "mug" as it is not listed in the "Sheet all". How do I highlight the missing item in the "Sheet all"? Attached herewith a file for better understanding.

The code works fine if you change the date in the cell and press enter however my date changes are triggered via a Vlookup which the code doesn't recognise has changed so doesn't trigger the macro.
Is there any way to amend the VBA code shown below so that it triggers the macro when dates are changed in column I via Vlookup?
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("I:I")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

I need to be able to track changes in a workbook by highlighting the changed cell either through changing the background color or bolding and changing the font color.
The problem is the workbook contains several worksheets being updated by several individuals, none of whom have access to the master copy.
Essentially the individuals update their sheet, then the sheets are merged into the master by copying and pasting the new information.
Is it possible to highlight the change only when the actual value in a cell changes, and not when the same value is pasted into that cell?
what VBA is required to have a combo box in a userform look up data in a different workbook, then populate that data into the drop down list of that combo box for a user to select.
I have managed to successfully create a vlookup for a combo box in a userform that looks up data in a named range in another worksheet within the same workbook and then populate that data into a field in a worksheet within the same workbook. However, I want to change this so the combo box on a userform (in one workbook) will look up data from a named range in a second workbook without opening the second workbook. At the moment, the code I have that will 'submit' the user selected data from the combo box drop down list works.
The code that has worked so far to vlookup data for the combo box from a worksheet within the same workbook is:
Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim pName As Range
Dim ws As WorksheetSet ws = Worksheets("vlookupsheet")
For Each pName In ws.Range("ProjectName")
With Me.cboProjectName
.AddItem pName.Value
End WithNext pName
Me.cboProjectName.SetFocus
End Sub
Do I need specify the file path of the second workbook that will contain the data for the combo box as well as the name of the worksheet and named range in that second workbook?
I am trying to highlight duplicates across a workbook of 12 sheets. Essentially we are using it to track ID#s and I want to highlight the cell if this the value in cells A4:A100 matches that of the same sell range in the other sheets.

I have 2 workbooks:
-1st workbook, I am using a worksheet (let's call it workbook1/worksheet1) already running with macro. In this worksheet, there is a column "Protocol" where different protocols are named (some are repeated, not sorted)
-2nd workbook, there is a worksheet (call it workbook2/worksheet2) are just the list of description for each protocol listed in workbook1/worksheet1. For example: width, length, height
How do I get values found in workbook2/worksheet2 and use in workbook1/worksheet1 for each corresponding protocol?

I have been searching for a macro that would lock all the non blank cells (cells that have any value/text) after the workbook is saved.
When the user clicks on save a message box should prompt stating that "The data you entered has been locked successfully".

I am trying to write a code in VBA to collect data from several weekly workbooks, and list them up in a monthly workbook.
These weekly workbooks change names depending on the week, for example, we have:
Report week 1.xls
Report week 2.xls
Report week 3.xls
Report week 4.xls
Each report has the same layout, so the data I want will be in the same cells. However, as the report names change as the weeks in the year go on, I can't write the code for weeks 1-4 as they will not work with week 5 onwards!

I have a workbook that has five worksheets listing warehouse inventory items. One worksheet for 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009. In column b of each worksheet is a column B with a heading of "Item Number". There are hundreds of item numbers on each worksheet.
I would like to be able to find and highlight item numbers that appear in multiple years. Preferably color coded showing appears in five, four and three years. If that's too difficult than just items that appear in all five years. I tried conditional formatting, but have been unsuccessful.
Lastly, is there a way to list any duplicate item numbers on a new worksheet.
I have spreadsheet of data, I need to extract any rows that have blanks cells in columns F or P or T.
If possible I would like a macro I could run that would cut all of the rows that meet the above criteria and paste them in to a separate sheet.
1. I want to highlight cells on a form so that a user knows which cells to fill out.
2. When they print the form I do not want the cell shading to print.
I am trying to write a macro which highlights all the cells with any reference to other cell. The macro should highlight a cell with formula like = 3 * A25 but not highlight a cell with following formula. = 3 * 0.4535566. 'Hasformula' property is not useful here as it can't distinguish between above examples.
View 3 Replies View Relatedi have a macro that opens 10 other workbooks and copies cells onto a "master" workbook. Until recently, everything worked fine. Suddendly, while it opens the 9 books and copies as it is expected, but when it opens the 10th wb, the macro breaks at a very simple copy/paste.
The weirdest thing is that after it breaks, I cannot select any cells neither in the opened wb nor in the master wb. This continues even after I press the "reset" button in the vba. So, I am only able to select objects (text boxes etc) in my wb and not any cells.
Also, the "arrow" icon on the design toolbar is not active. And I've tried pressing and de-pressing the F8 key, but I still cannot select any cells.
I have option explicit in the beginning of my macro. And i'm using excel 2003.
I have a lottery pool in sheet 1 in which i have the names of the people and their number picks. In sheet 2 i have the lottery results.
All i want is to be able to highlite(adding a backround color in the cell) to the matching numbers in sheet 1.
I am running a macro to make some changes to certain cells in a spreadsheet (formula changes)
Is there a code I can include within the macro so that all cells that change are also highlighted in yellow?
