During a copy and paste I forgot to change the name of a macro in a module which had many macros. Now when I want to open that file , it hangs and does not open. how to open the file to change the name of the macro and re-save it ?
View 5 RepliesA co-worker of mine is exporting files from Quickpen as excel files, but every time he names the files with any Uppercase letters in the files name, they are automatically changing to all lower case. Even when he tries to rename the files, they will not stay with any uppercase letters....I have searched all over and cannot find a solution. If he sends ME the file, I can open it in excel and save it with any cases.

The ultimate task I am trying to accomplish is to allow the user upon hitting a button to select the file that would feed the pivot table. The code below is what I got by linking the initial source file to the pivot table. As I can see the source file named "4 Port.csv" is listed in the SQL-like statement. How do I go about allowing the user to pick the file from the "open file" dialog?
Code:
With ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlExternal)

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have two workbooks. One is a no-nonsense form interface that my bosses will use to enter safety information. I'll call this workbook "Form". This file is stored locally on each of their computers. The other workbook is stored on a common drive. I'll call it "Master".
When my bosses fill out the Form and click "Submit", the Master file is opened, and certain cells are populated based on information entered in the Form. This is the code I am using to make this happen:
I'm doing the following:
Dim myname As String
myname = Application. GetOpenFilename
I use it to attempt to open first a QuickBooks file and then an excel workbook.
The Quickbooks file opens fine. The Excel workbook never appears to open but
I do get the full file pathname to my excel workbook returned which I then
parse off to get just the workbook name.
Why would it behave this way? I open both these files manually all the time.
Also, I'm trying to use a filter as follows:
myname = Application.GetOpenFilename("*.QBW")
I get a compile error saying that I'm calling the function wrong.

Actually i've downloaded Tracking report of my SPO and this report is on 4-5 csv files (1 file per week). I have to gather data from these 4 files into one Worksheet. I have to do this with command button on my worksheet; with Open file dialogue box (i want to locate the csv files).
CSV files are something like that (I need only first 4 columns):

I need a VB code to open excel files located in a path (fixed path) by providing a part of file name through a input box
for ex: I have some files located in my local drive as below
1. colurgreen.xls
2. colurred.xls
3. colurblue.xls
I need a input box asking for file name and I input "green" or "red" or"blue" and it should open the resp file.
I have the need to be able to open a closed file to archive some data from a
current file.
what coding i need to be able to kick the "open file" bit off?
I do routine tasks every day which involves opening 3 different files and pasting data into my main file. The data is always in the same format, and the 3 files are saved in the same location (3 different folders through). The 3 files are saved each day and the naming convention is constant, with only the date changing. For example, the files are always saved in C:My Documents and the files are called test_05.02.2013.xls. Tomorrow the file will be called test_06.02.2013.xls and so on.
So each day I will be rolling a file forward and I want to bring in the info from each of these files based on the new day.
How to do 1, and I will do the others (because the concept will be the same).
I need to use both of these VBA scripts in my excel project. The first is this:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Sheets("Sheet2").Range(ActiveCell.Address).Value = 1 Then
ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
End Sub
The second is this:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim lScrollRow As Long
Dim lScrollColumn As Long
Dim lTargetRow As Long
Dim lTargetColumn As Long
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
lScrollRow = ActiveWindow.ScrollRow
lScrollColumn = ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn..................
When I enter both into the script box and then try to run it, it says that there is a compile error with an "ambiguous name detected "worksheet_selectionchange"
I need to open an excel file based on a date mentioned in the file name, but minus 1 day. The file name is composed with Statistics_date_time.xls
Example: statistics_20140423_142754.xls
Once I need to open the file (only in the mornings), it has to be the one from the previous day to see the yesterdays performance. How can I create a macro that will look at the date in the file and take the one from yesterday?
This will be a part of a macro I'm making. The rest of the macro will just format the file and combine a few ones from different departments.
I've got a couple of formulas in a workbook which lookup values in another workbook. When I reopen the initial workbook the formulas results come back as errors (i.e. #VALUE!) unless the workbook it is looking at is also open. This is not desirable, does anyway know how I can lookup values in another workbook which are not open? The formula which is causing me problems is as follows:
= SUMIF( 'H:Infozoom[2006-01_assy.xls]New Table1'!$F:$F,$A8,'H:Infozoom[2006-01_assy.xls]New Table1'!$AH:$AH)/60
I'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.
When it opens the desired file, it increments the file name by 1 each time it is opened (via the macro).
Example;
The first time it is opened you see the file name in the header read "P'Binder L&T Pages" for a moment, then it changes to "P'Binder L&T Pages1"...
I close the file and open it again (via the macro), and see the file name in the header read "P'Binder L&T Pages" for a moment, then it changes to "P'Binder L&T Pages2"...
The file name continues to increment on every opening until the PC is rebooted, then it starts at 1 again.
Sub OpnLTpages()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim AlreadyOpen As Boolean
AlreadyOpen = False
For Each wb In Workbooks 'Scan open workbooks
If wb.Name = "P'Binder L&T Pages.xls" Then ........................
I'm running a sheet with three pieces of code (all blagged from these forums thank you) Two of the sub procedures have the same name "worksheet_change which generate an ambiguous name error. This I sort of understand. However I've tried changing the second one of the subs names to "worksheet_change1" and whilst the ambiguous name error goes away the sub routine then fails to function.

A compile error keeps occurring. It says "Ambiguous name detected: FormatCell"..
I've got two macros that work beautifully apart from one another ... but put the two in the same Excel workbook and they bump heads. I get the infamous "Ambiguous name detected: Worksheet_Change"
I know enough about VB to get myself into trouble. So, I'm asking for help from a talented person to show me how to combine the two ... or another work around to get through this.
Here are the two sets of code in my sheet that I think are causing the ambiguous name problem. How can I work around this error?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim varFind As Variant
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Column 2 And Target.Column 9 Then Exit Sub
If IsEmpty(Target) Then Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 0
If Target.Column = 2 Then
Set varFind = Columns(16).Find(What:=Target.Value, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlWhole)
If varFind Is Nothing Then
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 0
Else
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = Cells(varFind.Row, 16).Interior.ColorIndex

I want to include a progress bar in my macro and have got the code from another website. However, after the progress bar is displayed i cannot get it to move to the next line of code in the module. In the example i've got, the code in the user form window simply calls a sub called "main" and continues on through that sub. Whenever i call one of my sub routines an error box states" ambiguous name detected". This never happens with the sub called "main"? Why is this happening? A portion of the code is shown below. After "userform1.show", the user form is displayed but the program will not move on to "get_blades" sub routine?
Browse_Folder
' Sub routine "browse_folder" selected to select folder
' containing the mea files.
UserForm1.LabelProgress.Width = 0
UserForm1.Show
' HourGlass
get_blades (lookinname)
' Use sub routine get_blades
Range("T3").Select

Option Explicit
Public Const ARK As String = "Inddata-ARK"
Public Const VVS As String = "Inddata-VVS"
Public Const KON As String = "Inddata-KON"
Public Const EL As String = "Inddata-EL"
Public Const LD As String = "Inddata-LD"
Public Const KØL As String = "Inddata-KØL"
Public Const OpDat As String = "Opdatering"
And then macro's under it... So the aboce is in module "INIT_S". Now in another module "RUN_P" I have a sub-rutine that uses these constants with a select case.
Likes this:
Sub OpEksInitNu()
Select Case ActiveSheet. Name
Case ARK
With OpEks
'more stuff
Case VVS
'more stuff
Case KON
'more stuff
End Sub
But when I try to run OpEksInitNu i comes with ambigious name with ARK as the error, later down I use another public constant. But i keep getting the ambigious name error.. What could cause that... I have tried to locate all ARK, VVS etc. to try to determine if it is used later on, but it's not! I only declare the constants one time, and no module is called ARK, VVS etc.
Looking for a macro, to run upon opening file, that opens a linked file and if the file is already open does nothing.

I know its because this is used twice but I am not sure what to do in order to fix this.

But I have duplicated what I want for the other columns but I get ambiguous name detected and the other columns do not work my knowledge of macros has hit its limit ...
