Will running a Macro from within another macro allow the second macro use the first one's variables?
Example:
Macro A Starts
Variable x set
Macro B starts
Macro B uses x from Macro A
Macro B ends
Macro A ends
I have a matrix that has variables in the rows and in the columns. Then I have a regular table. For each row in the table, I need to run a macro using the combinations in the matrix. I just don't know how to combine these two to make my macro run appropriately with the right combos for the right amount of time.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHere in our department we made a pretty elaborate macro that takes a report and sorts them out to 17 different sheets in a one workbook. This Macro pulls a file from a specific location on our server and then opens the CSV sorts it out color codes all the important information and saves it back onto the server under you specific initials.
They are four PC's along with our Managers laptop that run this Macro daily.
About 3 weeks ago my Managers laptop stops running the Macro completely and hangs in the middle of the whole thing. Eventually crashing Excel.
We try to remove the modules and re-import them back into the personal macro workbork but this does not work. The Macro's did not change and still fully function on the other four desktops to this day.
I uninstall Office on my Managers laptop and reinstall. Import the Modules again and still hangs up in very same spot it did 3 weeks ago.
I've tried to lower the macro security to the lowest level also and I've still had no luck with this laptop. I don't understand. The Macro's function perfectly on other PC's but will not function on this laptop.
I have a Sheet sheet1 and I want to run a macro when the cell D2 in Sheet1 is equal to 10,7,5,and 3. I only want this macro to run when those values are reached the macro then puts the data onto a sheet called wps. The macro is run as a module and is a sub macro.
I have this macro that a friend of mine wrote on a windows machine, and I can't quite figure out the code changes needed for OS X. For someone who knows how to do this, I'm sure it would only take a second, but I've been banging my head against the wall on this thing for too long.
Option Base 1
Sub Data_Compiler()
Dim FileSelected
Dim FileName
Dim CompiledDataArray(1 To 30, 1 To 53) ' Array to store our statistics
Dim Counter1 As Integer
Counter1 = 1
FileSelected = Application. GetOpenFilename("Your Files,*.xls", , "Select Files", , True)
If StrComp(TypeName(FileSelected), "boolean", vbTextCompare) = 0 Then Exit Sub
For Each FileName In FileSelected
Application.DisplayAlerts = False................
I can get a "open files" dialogue box to pop up, but I can't figure out how to make sure that multiselect is enabled. I need to be able to run this macro on 11 files at once.
I am trying to run the same test on multiple cells, to get the column letters of cells while there are less than 78 columns in use (these column letters will later be used for the Range().Select work involving copy & paste-ing into a word document). I originally thought I could use GoTo statements in conjunction with variables but, having researched it and coming across this, I think I need to find another approach.
At present I have a long section of code that looks like this (I am writing and testing at present so what i make will be put into a larger macro):
VB:
Sub FindColumnLetters()
Dim i01Feb As String, i02March As String, i03April As String
Dim NumbTemp As Integer, NumbTemp2 As Integer
[Code]....
However VBA didn't like the use of variables with the GoTo function and there are not decent ways around. how I can do the original but in less space? FYI the codes above are repeated for 3 columns, where I am actually doing this for ~20 column refs so the space it takes is HUGE at present.
Can i run a macro by just the pointer going over it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy goal is to write an equation that allows me to total all of the numbers in a column until the value = 0.
When I write the following equation using actual cell references, I am able to get the results I am looking for:
=IF(LEFT($E$78,6)=" Expe",SUM($J$78:INDEX($J$78:J1000,MATCH(0,J78:J1000,),0)),0)
When I try to write it in a macro using variables, I get all messed up:
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.Font.Italic = True
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = " Expense"
[Code].....
(Possibly unnecessary information: This is for a budget spreadsheet I am creating. Ideally when I am finished with the macro it will allow me to add a line item under a specific program and update the total amount spent. The budget is broken out by month, rather than program. When a new program begins the amount in column J will always be zero, hence the Sum until 0 is reached.)
Basically, there are 5-6 worksheets and I want this to go into each sheet and update the pivot table by changing the dates to today from pulldown menu in pivot table.
But how do I replace that in below recorded macro?
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"M:xxxxxxxxxDaily TemplateAGT_TM3 evolvement.xlsm" _
, UpdateLinks:=0
Range("AU11").Select
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").PivotFields( _
"[Prices ObservationDate].[Observation Date].[Observation Date]"). _
VisibleItemsList = Array("")

I'm trying to write a macro concatenate a report but the report outputs data on different rows when ideally I'd like it to all be on one row. The C column will have something in on the top line but blank for the rest until it gets to the next set of data.
Unfortunately it's not always the same amount of lines every time.
I am trying to categorized a dataset by country. The dataset need to be updated everyday and the size of each category is different each time. So I try to define a ranged name using variables.
Dim rows_CN As Integer
Dim star As Integer
Dim endn As Integer
Dim lookup_cn As name
Dim lookup_HK As name
Sheets("criteria").Select
Range("D1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "= COUNTIF(criteria!R37C2:R500C2,""CN"")"
rows_CN = ActiveCell
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=COUNTIF(criteria!R37C2:R500C2,""HK"")"
ActiveCell.Select
rows_HK = ActiveCell..................
I'm trying to get a macro to run when the user presses the save button. I have the following code:
[Code] .......
This code is supposed to apply the TRIM function to every worksheet in the workbook when the user presses save, and the saves the results. I understand the Private Sub bit is the code to have the macro run during the save, but for some reason the macro itself isn't actually running. I'm not getting any error message, its just that the cells which should have the TRIM function applied to them aren't being corrected.
I have a macro that takes about a minute to run. I would like to add a progress bar to appear once the macro starts running. There are no loops in the macro. What are my options?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 3 different sheets with a private sub on each all labelled
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
The macro's runs fine on each page.
I want to put a macro on a separate sheet that i can run each of those macro's
I did initially copy the original private macro and change the
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
to
sub report()
But I couldn't do all 3 in the same manner. i did change each name to something different... the other 2 subs did run, but they didn't do anything except put the massage box on the end saying that "the macro has finished".
The private macros are on sheets 26, 28 and 12.
I have 7 different workbooks as part of my daily routine.
At present the first workbook is opened via the task scheduler, and the macro is run using the following code
[Code] .....
This then opens the next workbook and closes the current one. The next workbook then runs its macro again from a timed call
[Code] ...........
This repeats for 7 workbooks. The problem is, if a macro overruns - the whole schedule is out of sync when macro's are called depending on the time. What I would like to do, is link each macro by calling for the next one, and closing the current workbook. However, when i have tried to do this, the macro has always stopped when the workbook has been closed - the next macro doesn't run.
Below is the entire code that I am using. It is a simple routine which checks whether a part has started its release process or not, based upon dates. The code works and does what I want.
The problem that I have is that it is very slow, for example it takes 35 seconds to go through 530 lines items. In my (limeted) experiance, based on other VBA doodlings this slow.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 2 workbooks (Workbook1 and Workbook2).
Workbook 1 contains a button, that calls a macro. This macro calls a macro from Workbook 2.
For this, I am using the Application.Run function.
The Macro in Workbook2 is a simple one line macro that updates cell A2 to a value of 6.
Range("A2").Value = 6
This works fine!
However, I want the the cell A2 in WORKBOOK1 to change to 6, not the cell in Workbook 2.
To add an element of difficulty, Workbook 1 could have any name (I won't know what it is, as the user could change it).
How can I get the Macro in Workbook 2 (Called from Workbook1), to update the cells in Workbook 1.
I have a problem with a macro in Excel 2007. It invokes

How do I ask for a confirmation box before running a macro, but only one time. What I mean is some of the macros I use loop and it wouldn't be practical to click on "ok" for each time the macro ran.
So again I just need some code to tack on to the beginning of a couple of my macros that will ask me before they run but only once.
I have the following macro in a worksheet...and it is running very slow. There are other macros in the worksheet and they all run very well. Any ideas by looking at this code why it would be so slow in running?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet containing a macro to automatically sum values from week to week and display the max/min and average. This is almost fully working. The problem I have is the macro copies the sum formula down the page and doesn't stop at the last row. It always adds one or two extra rows. The formula should stop at row 77 however this does not happen and therefore the sum keeps going. Which in turn, distorts the max/min figures.

I have a problem which involves calling an excel macro from another application – in this case, ruby.
$excel.Run "ActionCommands.xlsm!CreateDynamicDataSources"
Here is the simplified macro that it calls
Sub CreateDynamicDataSources()
MsgBox "Hello"
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveCell.Formula = "Hello"
End Sub
The good news is, the macro is indeed being called because the MsgBox is executing. It may even be able to read cells and send the data back to ruby or display it in a message box. The bad news is I can’t select a sheet or cell and actually write to it! When I call this macro from Excel it works as expected. How do I fool Excel (2007) into thinking it’s OK to allow these operations. There is no explicit message that says “Hey this is in read only mode” but I suspect that is what is going on.
I have a macro running with columns from A to H and ''infinite'' rows
+conditionnal formating and one formula for the value in column D
I'd like to add one more condition, but I can't figure how...
*I'd like to add a step to the macro on sheet1 to automatically move a whole row (a to h) to sheet2 as soon as my equation in column D find a value = 0
after each row is transfered, i'd like to sort it in a descending order on sheet2 based on the number value in column A
what to add to get this to work
Private Sub WorkSheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub 'Only run if 1 cell is changed
If Target.Column 8 Then Exit Sub 'Only run if change is in Column "F"
If Target = Cells(Target.Row, "A") Then 'Check to see if entry matches column "A"
Else:
MsgBox "Invalid entry"
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Undo
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
Range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(Target.Row, 8)).Sort Key1:=Cells(2, 8), Order1:=xlDescending
End Sub
Is it possible to run the following macro automatically using VBA when cells B2 and C2 equals "Yes"? I don't want any manual intervention for this to happen.
