May 13, 2014Is there a way to protect the conditional formatting of accessible cells in a protected sheet.
Detail: I have a protected excel sheet. However some of the cells are made accessible so others (my secretary) can fill them up. The accessible cells have conditional formatting which become nonfunctional during pasting from other sources if "special paste" is not used.

Jan 5, 2014I have a protected worksheet that is shared between 2 departments. Is there a way of making the hide/unhide function available without unprotecting the worksheet.
Macro would be the most obvious way but believe you can not share a workbook when a macro is incorporated.
Making User-defined Function Accessible To All Workbooks
Apr 16, 2002I've got a couple of user-defined functions that I coded in via one workbook (wkb A), but would like these functions to be accessible to any workbook (wkb B...Z). How is this done so that when I start a new blank wkb I can use these user-defined functions there as well?

Dec 12, 2012I have numerous spreadsheets that I need to open and unhide a sheet, that has XML data stored in cell A1. What I need to do is copy that data in cell A1 and paste it into a text document and save that as an XML file saved as the XLS workbook name with a date stamp.
I'm running into many issues, the main issue is the saving as current file name, and the formatting of the text/XML file.
Here is my current code, which doesn't reference the current file name and is just very generic. Once I get the saving as file-name correct and the formatting of the xml file correct, I will work on it a bit more.
Code:
Sub Test()
Dim Rng As Range
Dim wb As Workbook
Set Rng = Range("A1:A2")
Set wb = Workbooks.Add
With wb
Rng.Copy

Open Text File From File Manager Vs. Within Workbook
Oct 2, 2006I've encountered a bit of an odd one. I am opening a tab delimited file, which has been sved as an xls. When I open from file manager, it opens correctly. When I open from Excel, I have to go through 3 screen dictating how the data is set up, and the end result is that a couple of the numbers come through as text, rather than numbers.
Failing an explanation - how do you open workbooks as file system objects - currently I am opening them using
Workbooks.Open Filename:=wb.Path & "/" & ws. Range("B1").Value
If I open them by mimicking the FM, perhaps it will work OK.
Convert Each Column Of An Workbook File To New Text File
May 30, 2007I want macro which export each excel column to new text file. The data in excel file is number. The column has only 5 rows that means each new text file should contain five lines of one column. It looks simple but couldn't manage to do macro for it. I have very big data set in one excel file, and have to be splitted into text files. The file name in new text files can be any kind as long as it can be in some sort of order for each export.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSave PDF As Accessible Text Instead Of Plain Text
Oct 17, 2011I recently built an Excel macro that takes a manually generated accessible-text file made using Adobe Acrobat, parses it and processes the data in a number of ways. Rather than open the text file I would like instead to open the original PDF, save or export it in accessible-text format (not plain text) then process the data. I've been able to find some code that opens the pdf then saves it as plain text but then half the data is missing; thus, I need to save it as accessible text.
Here's the code I've found that works that I'm currently using (I realize it's probably JavaScript but it seems to get the job at least partly done
VB:
Sub test()
Dim AcroXApp As Object
Dim AcroXAVDoc As Object
Dim AcroXPDDoc As Object
[Code] .....
Perhaps there's an alternate format in which to save rather than "plain-text", but I just can't seem to find out what it is.
Button Not Accessible Until Another Button Pressed?
Mar 5, 2013I'm trying to make it so that when I hit one button it unlocks the ability to hit two other buttons. I've been trying to do some OnEvent things but they just haven't been working for me.
Ideally I'd like it so that button B and C look like they shouldn't be pressed, perhaps translucent or grey, before button A is clicked, after that they should turn to another a specified colour.
Import A .bas File Into A Specified Workbook
Jan 9, 2007At work I have a folder full of .bas files containing useful UDF's.
At the moment I am the only person in my team that makes use of these files as importing a .bas file is beyond the rest of the team (i.e. then know it contains code so they get scared).
What I'd like to do is create a workbook where they can select one of the files (each file contains a single UDF), maybe see what it does (I put an explanation in the Comments section of the properties for each file) and then have it automatically imported into the workbook of their choice so they can make use of these functions.

Feb 7, 2007Is it possible to have the name of a workbook referenced in a cell via a formula or VBA in that workbook? I'm trying to extract the date that is in the filename, and input that in all cells in column N that have data in column M. I know I'll have to do some manipulating, but if I could somehow automate getting the filename input into the workbook, I might be able to muddle my way through it.

Saving Workbook And Changing File Name?
Mar 20, 2014I've got a macro set up to copy a range of cells in one workbook, open another existing workbook, and then paste that range. So far so good.
However, I need the macro to also save a copy of that second workbook with a filename that is derived from the original workbook.
To be a bit clearer, let me give an example of how I'd like this to work. Let's say the original workbook is titled Pickle2014-03-14.Raw.xlsm, and I have a second workbook titled UploadFormat.xlsx. I want to run the macro in Pickle2014-03-14.Raw.xlsm, have the data pasted to UploadFormat.xlsx, then save UploadFormat.xlsx with the file name Pickle2014-03-14.Final.xlsx.

Workbook Growing In File Size
Aug 12, 2008I have a workbook that I am working on that seems to be having file size growth issues.
All it is is 2 worksheets.
Worksheet 1- Columns A-S & 63 rows. That worksheet alone is 7mb.
no macros..No VBA..No formulas. Just straight text data with a handfull of auto-filters. I took the auto filters off and saved to see if that was the issue and it did not make a difference.
Worksheet 2- Columns A-S & 35 rows. This worksheet is almost 3mb.
Now I can make a change (when my computer catches up) to 2 cells and sometimes it will jump in size by 1mb or more.

Room Reservation Workbook File
Jul 3, 2009Following on from this thread: Create Room Reservation System
There are 3 problems that i've spent all morning trying to work out but can't:
1: I need to change back the layout of the Gantt chart (as it matches the paper system we have been using here, so it will be easy for the other volunteers to use it) - I did change it back and played with the conditional formatting and macro's but i can't get it too work like the version that AAE changed...
2: If I make a reservation ‘Booking’ is placed on the gantt chart, though only on the first date (I.E 22/09/09 – 25/09/09 – The first date is blocked but i can still double book the room via 23/09/09…) so I need the entire date range blocked out and I’m helpless at writing or even attempting to change VB Code…
3: Booking rooms and checking availability is great for single rooms, but I have realized that for dorms (upto 10 Beds) then once I book one person in, then I won’t be able to book the other 9 beds, which is a pain! Is there a way to have the room list but also a bed list for each room.
So for instance Dorm 1 has 4 beds – I book 1 person in it and it still appears as available until I book another 4 people in it, then it blocks me from booking someone else in the room?

Sep 5, 2006I have a macro attached to a button. The file with this button is distributed among several people via outlook.

Mar 15, 2007I have a workbook which was quite large 1.4mb. I wanted to reduce the size so peice by peice I deleted forms modules and sheets to see which were the problem parts.
But interestingly enough I have now deleted eveything in my workbook and It still remains and 400kb?
I have deleted all code modules, sheet code, user forms, defined names and custom views.
I have tried saving as an html but alas it still remains at 400kb.
