Is it possible to use a macro that needs parmeters as part of an application.ontime instruction? - I am getting a macro cannot be found error message.
If I change the called macro so that parameters are not required, it is found OK (but obviously isn't doing what I want anymore!).
I reckon it is something to do with the quotations around the macro name
Firstly you don't need to know anything about Bloomberg to answer this query, only that Bloomberg has various functions that take time to update.
The code Application.Run "RefreshEntireWorkbook" will update these functions but Application.OnTime (Now + TimeValue("00:00:25")), "RunList" is required to allow them time to get the data from the feed. However this only works if the refresh and wait commands are in a seperate function. So in simplified terms it must go like this in vba:
I am running a timer in XL using the Application .OnTime Method.
Everywhere I've looked tells me that the procedure to stop the timer is
Sub StopTimer()
On Error Resume Next
Application.OnTime earliesttime:=RunWhen, procedure:=cRunWhat, schedule:=False
End Sub
I have this code in with the timer, but when I hit F5 or go to Tools--->Macros--> and Run the StopTimer Macro the timer just keeps running.
how I can properly call this procedure and stop the timer?
how to repeat the following line?
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application .OnTime TimeValue("22:02:00"), "Email"
so that everyday it runs at the same time Everyday? At the moment i have to close the workbook at somepoint during the day then relaunch so that it picks this line up, when this eventually "goes live" it will not be monitored as closely as it does now during testing.
I'm using Application OnTime to fire a procedure every 30 mins. It works great, but the workbook tries to reopen itself when i close it (but not if i close excel entirely). I assume this is because I haven't stopped it anywhere. So I put a call to a procedure that has: Application.OnTime RunWhen, cRunWhat, , False
In the "Workbook_BeforeClose" event. This doesn't solve the problem. What am I missing?
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
StopTimer
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
StartTimer
End Sub

Public RunWhen As Double
Public Const cRunIntervalSeconds = 1800 ' thirty mins
Public Const cRunWhat = "dothis"...............................
I didn't receive a response to a previous post where I was trying to use a batch file to close and open a workbook at a scheduled time everyday. I was thinking about this problem over the weekend, and thought that it would probably be easier to just use a macro to close the file at a certain time everyday (if it is open) and then use a batch file to open the file a couple of minutes later.
I'm having problems with what I thought should be pretty simple though. I tried this to close the file at 5:15pm
I'm using this to unhide rows one at a time:

On each sheet I need vba to duplicate the value in cell A10 to replace the next zero value in column E; duplicate the value in cell F10 to replace the next zero value in column J. Then, continue the same operation on the next sheet.

I have the following macro that runs every time the system clock's second changes to 07 seconds. I however want it to stop running at 09:47 am. I have the code to stop the timer also (given below) but I am unable to stop the loop at 09:47 am. How do I do that?
VB:
Sub Timer()With Workbooks("book3.xlsm").Sheets("Sheet1")
Range("B10:E10").ClearContents

Application.OnTime DateAdd("n", 1, CDate(Left(Now, Len(Now) - 2) & "07")), "Timer"

I have a real simple question about what command to enter in order to stop a macro. All the macro does is "press the F9 key" every second. I use a button to start the loop but I am unable to find a way to use another button to stop the process. Ive copied my macro below:
Sub Go()
Calculate
Application .OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "Go"
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() "Go Button"
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "Go"
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() "Stop Button"

I am using Excel2010.
My sheet displays values collected from a database via an AddIn. The values are updated by pressing CTRL+G (AddIn function).
I have an OnTime macro running SendKeys "^G" to update the values every minute. When the values exceed a certain limit, a sound is played from a custom Alarm function.
This all works as long as the excel window is active.
But if excel is minimized or another window is opened, the values stop updating until Excel is active again.
When the values dont update the sound is not played and that defeats the purpose of the sheet.
I'm trying to figure out how to pass parameters to a date field in a macro to control the display in a pivot table.
The macro currently uses a With statement to set the properties of 177 of the 180 dates to false, leaving the remaining three dates true and visible.
I have a data table that contains 180 dates e.g. 9/30/06, 10/31/06 etc. When I'm creating the pivot table via a macro I'd like to have (2) parameters to enter at run time, those being Beginning Date and Ending Date.

I have a worksheet using several columns and 100 rows. Column B and column C can contain a value "x" in either coulmn but not both in a specific row. The macro illustrated works perfectly for what I need but there must be a way to point the macro to a range of rows rather than using an "if" statement for each row as I've done.

The macro runs fine, but after that a different workbook becomes active. There are a couple more lines of code after the line above that don't get executed (ive tested this by putting a MsgBox command after it).
How do i pass control back to the starting subroutine? Or should it and there is something wrong with my code?

I have a program that produces data while im working on it, i want to start an excel macro (excel app running in background) from a keyboard shortcut that imports the current data. I cant think of a workaround, letting the macro run on a timer isnt possible since i want to be able to decide when exactly it imports the data, without the need for alt-tabbing out of the program (since its an directX app so alt-tab takes time and is annoying).
