Worksheet Activate Event Question

Jun 22, 2009

I wrote a worksheet activate event (for wrksht1). It reads a list of customer inputs found on wrksht1 then parses these inputs into 'like' lists and pastes the results into a wrksht called ADIM. ADMIN is kept well hidden so our customer cannot mess with it. These parsed lists are then used as validation data with the drop down menus applied to cells found on wrksht2. So to recap, inputs on wrksht1 appear as drop down values for cells found on wrksht2. Here's the problem. The worksheet activate event is triggered whenever wrksht1 is activated and since the code changing the focus away from this wrksht and then back to it, it appears to enter an endless loop. At least I think that is what is happening. Is there a way to programmatically deactivate the event so that when focus returns to wrksht1 the event does not trigger and cause an endless loop? and then reactivate so the event triggers then next time the user changes focus.

Workbook Activate Event Not Firing

Mar 19, 2008

button on main workbook opens 2 other workbooks and assigns a workbook object to them. the 2 opened workbooks are Activated in turn, range values changed and macros on these sheets invoked and results captured and pasted back onto the starter workbook. the macro is within a sub in a module as are the ones in the second workbook. An example of the code used is:

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic

Dim wkbTest As Workbook
Set wkbTest = Workbooks("Test.xls")
wkbTest.Activate
Sheets("G").Activate

Worksheet Change Event :: (ByVal Target As Range) Event In Module After Creating A Sheet

Mar 27, 2009

Is there a way to write a Worksheet_SelectionChange (ByVal Target As Range) event in module after creating a sheet in VBA? I constantly delete a sheet, then repopulate it with a new one that is empty, but I need to add some code that happens if they should change a particular cell. It worked when I ran it on a worksheet without refreshing, but as soon as I cleared and repopulated the sheet, it was gone. Is there a way to preserve this?

Reprogram Enter Key On Worksheet Activate

Aug 31, 2009

Is there code for worksheet activate event that will reprogram the Enter Key to mimic the Tab Key such that if you hit Enter, the cell to the right of the active cell is selected? I've searched the net for several hours today and find nothing that addresses this question.

Also, the Enter Key would have to be normalized on worksheet deactivate.

VBA Code To Activate Second-to-last And Last Worksheet Tabs In A Workbook?

I use a workbook where new worksheet tabs are added and removed daily. Every day I use the second-to-last tab (2nd from the right) and the last tab (far right). What code would enable me to activate and reference both of these tabs individually? I believe it would be something like the code below but I can't figure it out...

Worksheet Activate Not Happening When Workbook First Opens

May 18, 2009

I have a workbook where the sheets are all protected and I want to stop users scrolling up or across beyond the limits of the input areas.
I have used the following code (or variations of)...

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Me.ScrollArea = "A1:G32"
End Sub

This works fine except that when I first open the workbook, the first sheet displayed can still be scrolled. As soon as you move to another sheet and then back again, it is then OK.

It appears that the Worksheet_Activate code does not execute when the workbook is first opened.

How do I get round this?

Worksheet Events: Use A Worksheet Event To Change The Background Of The Current Month Two Columns In The Range To Yellow Color

Jun 12, 2007

In cell A1, I have the month number (eg, 1, 2, 3,). The month number reflects current month and will automatically change with every month. For example, right now it’s 6, next month it will automatically change to 7. Each two columns in Range A10:X20 represents the data from January to December. I want to use a worksheet event to change the background of the current month two columns in the range to yellow color and the two columns in the range will be visible when I activate this sheet.

Macro Triggered By Worksheet Activate - Endless Loop

Oct 25, 2011

I have a multi-sheet workbook. The first sheet is a summary of results from the rest of the workbook. I would like this summary sheet to auto-refresh itself each time the sheet is activated. The VBA code triggered by the Worksheet/Activate event feeds some parameters out to other sheets, then copies back the results to the summary sheet of the workbook.

While doing so, it keeps "reactivating" the first sheet, causing it to get into an endless loop that is triggered by the Worksheet/Activate event. Essentially, I'd like the Worksheet/Activate event to go dormant for 15 seconds or so each time it is triggered.

VBA For Worksheet Event Code

Jan 17, 2007

I have seen many examples posted here that are close to what I need, but I am not experienced at writing code, so I am not sure how to make the changes to this code that apply to what I need. So I will try to explain what I am looking for & hopefully not be too long winded:

I have an excel workbook that has several worksheets within it - 10 of the worksheets are identical as far as the formulas that are in each of the cells, however, they are all VLOOKUP cells that refer to another excel workbook (used as a "database")which lists all of our projects - there is a cell in each of the 10 sheets that can be changed that will allow that particular worksheet to access the information in the "database worksheet" for the particular project name that is entered in this cell.

There is currently an event worksheet code for each of these worksheets which allows for a picture to be displayed "floating" above cell (L13) based on the project name that is showing in this cell- however it is based on all of the project pictures "living" in each worksheet (the picture that is called up by the project name is displayed while the rest are hidden - as per the formula)- the code is shown below:
Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim oPic As Picture
Me.Pictures.Visible = False
With Range("L13")
For Each oPic In Me.Pictures
If oPic.Name = .Text Then
oPic.Visible = True
oPic.Top = .Top
oPic.Left = .Left
Exit For
End If
Next oPic
End With
End Sub

However - this option works fine when there are 5 or 10 pictures/projects - but we are looking to grow our project database. So, I was hoping to be able to store the pictures in another location (such as another worksheet or in a file on the server - I would also appreciate input if anyone has an opinion on which would work better?) and have some type of worksheet event code that can be written in to each worksheet that would access the picture in this "central" location and have them appear in cell (L13) of each worksheet based on the project name displayed.

A Worksheet OnScroll Event

Oct 30, 2007

There is no such event in excel. Using a timer to constantly monitor any change of the ScrollRow/ScrollColumn of the activewindow is feasible but it is not worth it because of the strain that such a running timer would put on the application.

While playing around with some Controls via the "More Controls" icon on the ToolBox Toolbar, I came accross this ActiveX control named: InkPicture which has an interesting event called InkPicture_Painted and which basically fires every time it receives a repaint message.

I thought , maybe if i place one on the worksheet , the Control paint event would fire when scrolling the worksheet. Guess what: It worked

I embeeded one into the worksheet and reduced its width to a minimum so that it's almost invisible. I streched its height over 1000 rows so it covers a reasonable down/scrolling region.

Ok. Now, before I get too excited about this, there is a problem: Does this InkPicture Control come with all or most Office standard installations like the OWC controls? if so then great. if not, i should just forget about this whole thing. (i am running Office XP XL 2003)

Notice that there is also an annoying prompt upon opening a workbook containing an embeeded ActiveX control. Fortunatly, this can be avoided by adding a reference to the Control library ( MS Tablet PC Type Lib) Programatically , adding the Control at run time and hooking its events in a Class module.

here is a a workbook demo that shows an implementation of this custom Worksheet Scroll Event (it captures the event to prevent the user from scrolling down beyond the visible range ) : http://www.savefile.com/files/1158486

I would appreciate any feedback on this as i would like to know if it works on different machines/XL versions.

VBA Worksheet Change Event

May 28, 2009

trying to get a worksheet change event to work. Basically the code below calls the time_start procedure when cell J16 downwards is selected.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Row > 15 And Target.Column = 10 Then

Call time_start
Else
End If

End Sub

However, I am lost from here on....Let me try and explain what it is I am trying to do. This seems so simple if you know how. Each time that the word "Completed" is entered in to a cell from J16 onwards, the cell two columns to the right on the same row is selected and the current date is entered.

If the word "Completed" is deleted, I want the date on that row to be deleted.

I would also like the choices "Completed" and a blank cell to be given in a validation list via a dropdown if possible to avoid occurances of "Complete" etc and mis-spellings but I understand that a bug may stop me from using this functionality. I am running Excel 2002 on a Windows XP Professional OS.

Add Event Code To New Worksheet

Oct 3, 2007

I'm having trouble copying a macro to a newly created sheet. I do like this:

ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("Kopier1").Export filNavn

For Each kopSheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Left(kopSheet. Name, 8) = "Inddata-" Then
kopSheet.Copy
ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & kopSheet.Name
ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("Kopier1").Export filNavn
Workbooks(kopSheet.Name & ".xls").VBProject.VBComponents. Import filNavn
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End If
Next kopSheet

I copy 6 sheets, named "Inddata-*", and i wan't to copy a module named "Kopier1" with it. I know that i can use an add-in, but that is unfortunately not a good idea in this project. It does export the module "Kopier1", but, it doesn't import it to the newly created workbook!

Worksheet Change Event Not Firing

Aug 22, 2007

I have a spreadsheet with a table of values in range E5 to T158.

A macro populates the table by looking up values on other sheets in the book. If the macro finds a value in the lookup for Row 7 of any column (ie E7,F7...T7) it populates the rest of the column with that value (E7 value gets pasted to E8:E158) THEN it protects the cells it pasted (E8:E158).

If the macro does NOT find a value for row 7, it simply skips it, leaving it blank, and continues to row 8 until it reaches row 158 of each column E to T.

I want to give the user flexibility with these values. So if the user either deletes E7 or changes the value of the contents in E7, I want to unprotect the cells of rows 8 to 158 for that column.

I have created a

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

in the private module for that sheet below. I thought it was working but it isn't doing anything when I change or delete the value in Cell E7 for example. Please help!

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

'Do nothing if more than one cell is changed
If Target.Cells.count > 1 Then Exit Sub 'Or IsEmpty(Target)

How Do I Either Scroll Through Each Name In The List Box And Activate The "current" Worksheet

Mar 25, 2007

I've written a program that list all the occurences of a given name in a specific cell from all worksheets in the active workbook. The list is placed in a listbox and the first listing is selected with ListBox1.Selected(0) = True. Additionally the worksheet of the first listing is activated.

My question is now how do I either scroll through each name in the list box and activate the "current" worksheet. I assume that I'll need to address scrolling up/dowm and clicking of any particular name on the list.

Cell Formatting On Worksheet Change Event

Nov 22, 2011

I'm trying to create a worksheet change event macro that will change the colour of the cell when you update the value in that cell.

I have column C with 140 rows and when one of the cells in the column is changed by the user, I need the same cell to highlight in yellow. The highlight would then be removed once the user has acted on the change in the value, and that'll be done in another macro.

I understand I need a worksheet change event macro in the specific sheet and need the following code for yellow:

Code:
.Interior.Color = RGB(255,255,0)

, but any further I get stuck as it involves 'target addresses'
