spread sheet training matrix. The subjects to be trained on are plentiful so I have broken these down into different sheets. I produced this to my boss and the first thing he asked was "can we link the sheets so I can get information about one single employee" in other words I have a list of employees in the first column and this list is the same on each sheet, the headings on the sheets are different but instead of having a set of columns about forty headings wide I have split them down to ten headings on four sheets. The big question! Is it possible to print one sheet with one employee but all of the headings? When I say headings I mean the columns under the headings as well.

I have a fluid document that I have to save for historical reasons in 2 separate directories. My save Macro works I was just wondering if anyone see's a better way of accomplishing saving to two separate directories then closing the document.

I have a cell that I want to use data validation on so I have a drop down list. Problem is the location of this list will be in another workbook.. Is this possible to go from one workbook to another using data validation?
Also, depending on the information that is selected from the drop down list I want a cell to the left to pick the corresponding data from the list in the other workbook. These forms will always be in the same folder.. Not sure if that information is necessary but just in case you need to know.
Is there a way to run a macro automaticly on a closed work book every Friday ? I've found ways of doing this using on-open event but It made me wonder if this was possible.
I have two worksheets, one with detail monthly information and one with YTD information. So let's say the three numbers I want to capture in the YTD sheet are in columns B, G and I on the monthly sheet. January's data might be in B5, G5 and I5. February's data is in B12, G12 and I12 and so on.
On the YTD sheet in cell C2 I link to Monthly!B5 and in C3 I link to Monthly!B12 so cells C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet show the monthly totals from column B on the detail sheet. On the YTD sheet, cells C20 to C31 show the monthly totals from column G on the monthly sheet, so cells G5, G12, etc. And finally, cells C40 to C51 on the YTD sheet show monthly totals form column I on the monthly sheet.
In the past I've always created all these links manually. After creating the links in C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet, is there a way to use a formula in C21 that uses the link in C2 to create a link for G5?
I am currently using a macro to copy a sheet from a closed workbook in to my current workbook. However this copying is based on the sheet name. At present when I run the following code
View 11 Replies View RelatedI made the following code to merge 2 workbooks together.
The code is to be executed when the user has Workbook A opened. (All sheets in workbook KPISWD are supposed to be moved after all worksheets in workbook KPICustomers).
I keep getting a debug error on the code that is supposed to do the actual move and loop until it is finished with all of the sheets in Workbook B.
Code:

KPICustomers = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _

I have the below code, which now looks to see if a file is open or not, if it is, then copy and past 'Data' and if not open the book and copy 'Data'.
I think the code is sort of right, but im missing something, as i keep getting runtime error when i try and copy. Here is the
Sub PrintSaveKPIUpdate()

im currently working on contact details for each of our client. Attached here is the sample worksheet im currently working on. As the title suggest is it possible if i click the company name i will be directed to its contact details on the other sheet?we need a worksheet that functions like this: if we click the company name, it will direct the user to its contact details or will display ONLY its contact details.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am using an excel add-in to create a DDE link between a market data provider and my spreadsheet. ( Add-in is called SigTools.xla )
DDE link works fine and target cells are updated dynamically as market data changes so my excel sheet values are changing constantly.
The formula =WinRos|LAST!GOOG will update target cell with most recent market prtice for Google.
Since this formula is not an excel formula I can't reference excel cells with formula - ie =WinRos|LAST!Indirect&A3 or anything like this won't work.
I thought a Macro might work to simulate "typing in correct formula" and I created following Macro which I thought would work but unfortunately it does not.
Sub Macro2()
'
Dim strSymb As String
strSymb = Cells(4, 1).Value
Application.Goto Reference:="TargetCell"
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=WinRos|LAST! & strSymb & "
End Sub
The idea was that Macro would behave just as if I typed in =WinRos|LAST! & strSymb & and substituted the symbol name contained in Cells(4, 1) - whatever that happenned to be.
Seems reasonable but I get an error "Application-defined or object-defined error"
Alternatively I could re-type the formula each time but it would be much better to somehow reference a specific symbol in a particular cell via functioning Macro.
i have done a search on this topic and found many similar answers to many similar questions. All specify using Application.Run "workbookname.xls!macroname".
In my code, the filename has an assigned value as the master code goes out to many secondary files - the user selects the particular one they want at the start of the macro. The variable assigned is called "UpdateKAMsFile".
how do i get the macro called KAMsRandomColour to run in the workbook designated by UpdateKAMsFile?
I have one sheet for each day of the month with a table that has Employee Name, Reason, and Expected Return. I need to copy each line into the monthly sheet, but each day may have varying number of rows. Needless to say I would like to do this without copying lots of blank lines into my consolidated sheet.
View 10 Replies View Relatedon a workbook I use.
The workbook (26-11GL.xls) contains a varying number of sheets.
Sheet 1 - Menu
Sheet 2 - DS1
Sheet 3 -DS2
Sheet 4 -DS3
Sheet 5 - DS4
Sheet 6 - Company1
Sheet 7 - Company2
Sheet 8 - Company3
Sheet 9 ....14 Company 4,5 etc
Sheet 15 - CompanyTotals
What I would like to do is when I open the workbook on the Menu page I would like to have some links / buttons that will automatically create a new worksheet called DS5 which has all the formatting, formulas etc from DS4 (or the last complete DS sheet)
If this is possible I would like to be able to add Company worksheets as both DS sheets and company sheets can have from 3 to 35 sheets in either area.
If possible I would like the new DS sheets to be named with the next valid number.
create cells which could be expanded/shrunk, to either show the first sentence or so of the essay, or the full essay. I'd need to be able to expand/collapse each cell individually, not by row or column as the tutorials I've found have shown. I'm pretty sure I've seen this done with a little +/- sign in the corner of the cell but I can't find the option. It would be a bit like on a website that have show more, show less buttons.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two files,
1. Form Templete & 2. Student Data Index. (Both files will be placed in same folder)
About Form Templete : This is a simple form, containing some fields. Fields which i require are Form No., Student's name & Standard.
About Student Data Index : This file is to maintain records.
Each time when I fill form for a new student i will copy paste the form templete file & rename it by form no. (Entered in the Form Templete file, Form No. field)
My question is : Is it possible that whenever i create a new file in the same folder with student's name the required fields in the Student data Index get filled automatically, apart from that the new file created get hyperlinked & when i click on form no. the form for that student gets open?
I downloaded a spreadsheet with multiple same names such as
Name Week ending Days off
John Smith 1/31 2
John Smith 2/7 1
John Smith 2/7 3
Peter Sun 1/31 1
Peter Sun 2/7 2
Andy Mann 3/14 3
If I want to sum these up by name, what's the best way to do that?
Each row of the spreadsheet from a6:a25 is the planned production of one cellbuilder.
From this sheet I need to produce a work schedule of tasks to be performed by date.
Detailing, batch, cellbuilder number,weather 1st or 2nd graft etc, and the date available (for picking)
I would like the option to choose a daily or weekly schedule.
Is this possible ? and how would I even start to go about it. I just can't visualise how to do it.
Create a workpattern using something similiar to the Networkdays function. I want to be able to calculate how many working days are between 2 dates if the employee works a non standard Monday to Friday Week. For Example if someone works ever Mon, Tues, Wed how many working days are there for them in June.
I'm trying to open a file and perform various tasks. This is the structure:
Dim xlApp As Object
Dim xlWb As Object
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
Set xlWb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(BackupFile) ' backupfile evaluates to c: esting est.xls
xlWb.Worksheets(1).Activate
Debug.Print xlWb.Worksheets.Count
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In xlWb.Worksheets
Debug.Print ws.Name
ws.Activate
Next ws
I think I'm totally missing something. The above works, except for the loop. None of the names show up in my immediate window, and none of the worksheets are activated. xlWB evaluates to nothing, which is where the problem has to be...but why would my first .Activate and Debug.Print lines work? Also, If I declare xlWb as Workbook then absolutely nothing works after the file is opened.
Basically what I want to do is open the file, do a bunch of a stuff with it, then save and close it. I have this all working without creating another object, but the opening of the file is still visible to the user. Seems like turning off ScreenUpdating doesn't truly work.
This link worked perfect for my needs: Create a List of Hyperlinked Files:
But is there any easy way to only show the filename insted of the full path for the name of the hyperlink? Now it shows it like :C:MyDocumentsTestings est1.xls
I only want it to show as: test1. I still want the hyperlink to work
Ive got a problem with a work book im working on at the moment, my company has various different documents created in excel, like a price list, cost price list & stock levels (all Independant) I have had the idea to join them all into a single shared workbook using an idea I found and modified over a year ago on this site, that had the promise of allowing multiple users to see the nessesary parts of the same document. the advantage of this being any new parts or prices or suppliers added would update all users at once. So ive got this workbook that when you open you get asked for a username & password this then hides/unhides, protects or unprotects to suit the users needs. This works great when unshared but when I share it the login box wont display
The Administrator username is jamie and the password is joshua
How do I create a date stamp in a work sheet, if lets say anything gets revised or updated the date gets updated as well?
For Example: I want to put the date stamp in A1. So when anything gets revised in the document, A1 will have the date when that document was revised.
I have two columns one of which has filenames and the other having values. I need to creating a macro that takes each value from a cell outputs it into a text file and then saves it with the filename of the cell next to the value. I'll need it to go down the columns and create separate text files for each.
