Worksheet Change Macro Runs Differently

Dec 3, 2008

When I step through a macro (sessions) or run the macro seperately, it works as intended. When I have it run off of a worksheet_change it doesn't work. Is there an easy fix for this?

Original

Sub sessions()
Dim a As Integer
Dim x As Long
x = Sheets(1).Range("a" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

Sheets(1).Unprotect Password:="password"

For a = 2 To x

If Cells(a, "m") = Cells(a, "d") And Cells(a, "m") 0 Then
Cells(a, "f").Resize(1, 6).Select
Selection.Locked = True
ElseIf Cells(a, "m") Cells(a, "d") Then
Cells(a, "f").Resize(1, 6).Select
Selection.Locked = False

End If

Macro Runs When Change Cells In Totally Different Sheet?

Jun 18, 2014

So I have a worksheet that has a lot of macros in it. I have just barely run into a problem that happens anytime a change a cell in another workbook that I have open. The second workbook I have open isn't even a macro enabled workbook. But for some reason it gives me an error and says I am trying to run this code.

[Code] ....

It gives me the runtime error 9. This code is supposed to run when I click on a combobox in my main workbook but it is running anytime I change something in my other simple workbook. Why this happens and how to stop it? I have had a lot of similar problems in the past but I just dealt with it by only having one workbook open but in this case I will need both.

Prevent Sheet Change Macro When Solver Runs

May 26, 2009

Is there a way to prevent the Workbook_SheetChange event macro from triggering when I run Excel's Solver?

The solver goes through 100 or so iterations changing multiple cells each of which seemed to trigger the Workbook_SheetChange event. If there was a Solver Run event, I could turn off application events, but as far as I know such an event does not exist.

How To Change Filepath Or Dir When Users Have Drive Mapped Differently

Oct 23, 2013

I have written code that allows the user to open a file. To make things easier I changed the file path to point directly to the folder where all the needed files will be placed. The problem is everyone that will be using this work book map their drives differently. One user may have it as H, and the other as J. Also users can have the same drive mapped but at two different starting points. Ex: H:DataReportsxxxyyy or H:Reportsxxxxyyy this causes the code to crash. Is there a way do default the path so it will not matter how the drives are mapped?

Here is what I am using so far:

Dim filt As Variant ' flit to be used in the getopenfile. variant is need for its multiple
Dim FilterIndex As Integer
Dim Title As String

Excel 2010 :: Sorting Different Sections Of The Same Worksheet Differently?

Aug 14, 2013

I am using Excel 2010 64-bit (with SP2 and all other updates installed).

I have a worksheet where some cells have a yellow background, based on conditional formatting of what is in column A. (Note that data in column A changes, so the row can sometimes be yellow and sometimes be white.)

I need to sort this worksheet as follows:

1. By background color, so yellow is on top, white is on bottom.
2. Then, within the yellow rows, data in column J.
3. Then, within the white rows, data in column A.

Currently, I do this manually by sorting the entire worksheet by column A, then selecting only those rows that are yellow and sorting by column J.

Is there a way to combine these steps, perhaps with a macro?

I initially thought to make each "background color" its own table, but since column A can change and thus the background color of a row can change, I need to be able to have rows move from yellow section to white section. I don't think having two separate tables allows that.

Macro To Act Differently On Selected Multiple Columns?

Jan 18, 2014

I have data spread over several columns and this data is added from different files which has a different format than the one required to be in the Consolidated File.

I get results from a portal for Insurance certification, which has Exam Date, Issue Date and Validity Date which is copied manually and pasted from this file and to my master consolidated sheet...then I have to fetch other details for these certified employees from the HR Database which has the data in different formats...

So have to manually copy the format from the previous rows and then copy to the copied data, since this is done more than once in a day its tedious and time consuming so can this be done with a Macro..

I made my own small code but dont know how to make it act differently on selected columns....

I would select the entire matrix and then want the macro to run differently, taking into consideration the column names

[Code].....

I also need to add a vlookup formula for some column based on the column B's value...

Ex: This is for Col C

[Code] .....

So how do I write the code in such a way that the code acts on its own differently.

VBA Runs In One Worksheet But Not Another

Dec 31, 2013

I wrote this VBA for a particular sheet:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("H5") = "Y" Then
Columns("L").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
Columns("L").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End If
End Sub

If the value of H5 is "Y" it hides column "L". It was working fine at one time. Then I wrote a bunch of UDF's at the workbook module level. I then went back it use the "hide" function and it didn't work.

I created a couple new worksheets in the same workbook, and the same VBA works fine on them. I created a copy of the "non-working" worksheet and added the VBA to the copied sheet and it fails to work.

If I create an error in the VBA (like: Column("L").EntireColumn.Hidden = True), I get an error when I change the (non-working) worksheet - so I know it is "trying to run", at least sort of.

Protect / Unprotect Worksheet Before VBA Runs

Oct 26, 2011

I have a file that needs to be locked down so that the end user does not have the ability to enter data where they shouldn't. The end users are very Excel illiterate, and have proven that I need to have high security in place. Here is my current VBA code - the purpose of which is to hide/unhide rows depending on data entries. (Disclaimer: this code may not be pretty as I am a VBA rookie, and I've begged borrowed and stolen from about 10 other threads on this board to get where I am, and yes it works).

Code:

Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address(False, False) = "C7" Then Call Changeto1
If Not Intersect(Range("c9"), Target) Is Nothing Then
Rows("15:44").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Rows("15:" & Range("c9").Value + 14).EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If

[Code]...

The question is now....how can I unprotect the sheet so that this code works without allowing them to enter data where they shouldn't. I've been at this for days already.

Worksheet Change Macro Takes Too Much Time When Run With Update List Macro

Feb 1, 2009

I have a worksheet in which I have a worksheet_change macro. This worksheet_change macro makes sure that a few cells will keep their colors, even if the user copies and pastes a new value to that cell. This worksheet_change macro runs each time there is a change on the worksheet. Now my problem is that on the same sheet I have an update list macro which updates around 20.000 rows and two columns (which is alltogether around 40.000 values) and it takes a while to run. So.. it takes a loooooooooot of time (too much) when these two macros both run.

My question is that can I somehow disable the worksheet_change macro while the update list macro runs. I mean something like when I start the update list macro to disable worksheet_change macro and when the update list macro finishes, then reenable worksheet_change macro?

VBA - Run Macro On Worksheet Change

Jan 25, 2013

I have a sheet called Summary. On that sheet, Cell O6 has a drop down with two options, when you change these options, a number of other cells on the same sheet automatically change (just using formulas). Including a cell that I've given the named Range of 'testCell'. Based on the drop down, test cell will either = 8 or 9.

What I also want to change is the format of a range of cells whenever O6 is changed - but only when O6 is changed.

However, the following code does not work. It works fine if i remove the 'If Target.Address = "O6" Then ...' but doesn't work with it included.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "O6" Then
If Range("testCell").Value = 8 Then
Range("P10:AD27").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "_($* #,##0_);_($* (#,##0);_($* ""-""_);_(@_)"
Range("O6").Select

Creating A Macro, That Creates A New Button, Which Itself Runs A Macro..

Dec 15, 2009

I have a long complicated macro that processes a ton of data and gives the output in a new sheet. I then want to create new buttons (or some sort of user clickable triggers) on this new sheet that runs another macro.

I have got the actual adding of buttons in the sheet working, but I can't find a way to automatically assign macros to newly generated buttons during runtime. Is this even possible (or are there any clever tricks I could use to get around this?)

Building Macro That Runs Another Macro Based On Certain Columns

Jun 6, 2012

Essentially, I am working with a database for a school and up until this point, each row matches up to a student with a bunch of information on them. One of these pieces of info is their parent's names. This is a much simplified look at things, but the screenshot below is a basic version of what everything looks like:

Now, the school wants me to split up the parents names from the student's and place them in their own row. I have recorded a macro to do this where you make the active cell the "full name" column for the row you want to expand, and then run the macro. Afterwards, up to two more rows are added, with the parent's names and some data copied. Below is a screenshot of what that looks like: (yellow is the new data generated, and blue is the active cell I marked to run the macro properly)

The issue is that there are thousands of these that need to be done, and I figured there is a way to do this with a macro. The issue is that not every row has parents names to expand out.

In layman's terms, I need a macro that will look at the two columns titled "Father's Name" and "Mother's Name" on each row of the spreadsheet and then, if there is any data in both or either of them, it should set the active cell to the "Full Name" column for that row then run the macro accordingly. After that it should repeat this all the way down, skipping any where neither of the columns have text in them

In the actual spreadsheet, the columns that need to be checked are AW and AX, and the column that needs to be set to the active cell before running the macro is B.

Macro Only Runs Once

Nov 28, 2009

I can't seem to find an answer for this, but as an alternative, on Worksheet Activate the code runs and places a 1 in Range("A1") and therefore the next time the macro will not run.

This works fine for me, but just thinking if somebody who doesn't know why the one is in A1 and deletes it this macro will run again on sheet activate.

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Dim LR As Long
Dim rng As Range

If Sheets("Charts").Range("A1").Value = 1 Then Exit Sub

LR = Sheets("POD").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row

With Sheets("Charts")
.Range("I129").FormulaR1C1 = "=ROWS(R1C1:R[-128]C[-8])"
Set rng = .Range("A129").Resize(, 10)
rng.Copy rng.Resize(LR - 4)...............

Macro Change The Name Of The Worksheet It Copies

Sep 27, 2008

i created a sheet and called it "Original" (which somehow is a template), in another sheet i created a big Button named "Create account" ,then i created a macro which copies that "Original" sheet and by default it names it "Original 2 " now that i need a new account each time i click that button to create a new sheet and rename it by the client name i need, in order to keep the "Original" intact as a template. It happens sometimes by mistake that i rename the "Original" one ( The template one) which therefore returns an error when i click the button!

Is there anyway to add to that macro a code which rename that "Original 2" something else lets say "Account" to differentiate it from the Template one?

Or to Protect only the "Original" sheet from being renamed out of the whole sheets i have , in order not to rename it accidentally?

Macro Only Runs Manually

Feb 5, 2008

Running Windows XP; Excel 2003

I have a fairly simply macro.

It copies certain sheets out of a workbook (for a new workbook)
Unprotect the sheets in the new workbook
Deletes a particular cell on each sheet
Unhides a sheet
Sets all of the new worksheets to normal view
Protects the new sheets
Lets the user save and name the new workbook.

All is working fine Except it will not change the new workbook from Page Break View to Normal view.

The code I'm using = Sheets("name").Activate
Activewindow.View=xlNormal

Here's the strangest part. When I run the macro from a command button, the newly created workbook retains the page break view (as is in the original).

When I run the macro line by line via F8, IT WORKS JUST FINE

Running Macro When Change Made To Worksheet

Macro Code To Change Active Worksheet

Turn Autocalculation Off While Macro Runs

Mar 11, 2009

I have a macro which reads data from a large number (up to 500) of books in a folder. This extracted information is subject to some fairly heavy analysis which means that the macro runs very slowly as the sheet is constantly calculating.

I would like to add some code - maybe after 'screen updating = false' - that would turn off auto calculation while the macro runs and then restore it once the macro is finished.

I have a macro in my worksheet that runs as a change event on certain comment cells. This macro unprotects the worksheet, expands the merged comment cell that just change, and re-protects the worksheet. The cell expansion works great. When I re-protect the worksheet all of the cells work correctly, except the cell that was just changed. Any other "unlocked" cell in the document stays unlocked after the protection is applied, but the cell that just changed becomes locked. I need this cell to remain unlocked to allow the user to update the comments. Here is my full

Run A Macro That Only Runs On The Filtered Data

Jan 11, 2007

I have a spreadsheet that is made up of single line items with sub-totals at various points going down the sheet (ie the spreadsheet is split into sections)

Each section is about 100 rows long and 40 columns wide, 10 of which are sub-totals, all using the same formula from that i enter in column A.

As i add new sections i have recorded a simple macro that copies the active cell (ie A15 for example). It then pastes into D15, F15, H15, N15, X15 and then returns to A15.
I have linked this up to ctrl X for ease of running.

I have around 500 section totals to "ctrl X", per spreadsheet and 10 spreadsheets to do in total. I have firstly filtered all the line items (rows) out to leave me just the sub-totals to [ctrl x] [arrow down] [ctrl x] [arrow down] [ctrl x] etc etc etc....
Is there anyway to automate this process, i have tried recording another macro of me [ctrl x] [arrow down] about 30 times, but when i run it, it pastes on the hidden rows, not just on what you see on the screen. Is there a bit of code i can enter so it only sees what is visible.??
