Create/assign Outlook Tasks From A Range Of Cells
May 15, 2008
I have had some help with this (thanks!) but am stuck.
Can someone add to the code below and make it so that multiple tasks, with multiple assignees, can be created from a range of cells, such as:
Column A Column B
Row 1Task SubjectAssign to
Row 2GV LP for AZJohn Brown
Row 3GV LP for COJohn Brown
Row 4GV LP for ILSuzy Smith
Row 5GV LP for INSuzy Smith
Row 6GV LP for KYSuzy Smith
Row 7GV LP for MNSuzy Smith
Row 8GV LP for MSBob Barker
Row 9GV LP for NCBob Barker
Row 10GV LP for NJBob Barker
Row 11GV LP for NMBob Barker
Row 12GV LP for NVBob Barker
Row 13GV LP for NYBob Barker
Row 14GV LP for OHBob Barker
Row 15GV LP for SCBob Barker
Row 16GV LP for WVBob Barker
(Sorry, it didn't translate well. The "GV LP for AZ" is cell A2, "John Brown" is cell B2.)
Here is the code I have so far:

I have searched and think I have found what I need to create Outlook tasks from my Excel spreadsheet. I'm hoping that someone here can help me pull it together into something that will be usable in my project tracking spreadhsheet...
I try to keep track of milestones... these milestones are listed in column B of my spreadsheet and are in rows 10 through about 105
For each of my customers I then keep 4 columns D, E, F, G - H, I, J, K - L,M,N,O - etc. Each group of 4 is a different customer....
The customer's first column (D, H, L, etc.) is a Due date of the Milestone that is found in column B.
The second column is a check box that I use to indicate when the milestone is complete
The 3rd column is the completion date
The last colum is just a filler space that helps to separate each customer.
What I would like to do is insert a button at the bottom of EACH grouping of 4 that when pressed would look at the first column for the customer group and for ANY Milestone that has a DUE date process the stuff in the VB below to create an OUTLOOK task for each item that has a DUE date. (It would be conceivable that as it stepped through each row for a customer group of columns that I could have it create 90+ Tasks in Outlook.
A couple of additional things... in row 110 for the first column of the customer I have a DATE or a blank. So for example in D110 it might be blank or a date like 10/29/2007. If it is blank then when I press the button it would loop through ADD the tasks for each row with a due date. If row 110 has a DATE I would get a popup indicating that the tasks are already in OUTLOOK and that they were added on whatever the date is in row 110... This is kind of the safeguard that I don't get the same group of tasks multiple times by pressing the button by mistake.

it seems to be possible to integrate to some extent with the Outlook Tasks function....
Is it possible however to 'update' a given task, and have it linked somehow to my workbook project? (Maybe using some sort of reference?)

My range("C4") has the time "10:00 AM". The field has been formated to DATE format. With my code to create an Outlook appointment, I can get all of my required fields to populate from the spreadsheet except for the time. I would like to populate the time for the appointment with the data in C4.

I am attempting to create a user friendly spreadsheet and i am getting no where. i want to have someone populating a spreadsheet with data with a conclusion and final. at the end of the range if the outcome is below a set percentage they will click the hyperlink which will open outlook to a preset distribution list depending on the percentage. i have all this done but what i need is that when the email opens it copies the range of cells into the email so that all they have to do is click send. this seems simple enough to say but it appears that Ms has decided this is not possible.

I am probably overengineering my macro, but I would like to setup an outlook appointment in two peoples calendars from my userform. The macro has access to the email addresses of the selected persons, I just want to send date/time and subject.

I have successfully adapted some code to create e-mails in outlook, insert text, add an attachment and specific who to send - all from within excel.
However, all of the recipients are contacts in our internal address book and what I would like to do is use the "shortened" version of their contact to send the e-mail.
e.g. Simon Jones e-mail address might be simon.jones@mycompany.co.uk - but if I simply type in Simon Jones; and then tab to the next line, outlook works out who this is all on it's own.
The problem is, if I specify in my code to send to Simon Jones; it does not convert it / work out who it is.
Is there a way of doing it via VBA?

I'm looking for a way to prompt outlook to create a new email and in the body copy the contents of Sheet1, but instead of sending, I want it to just hold it so that the user can review the email contents.
Similar to this, but instead of an attachment the email body contains the data from sheet1

I'm generating a letter (Word doc) and populating bookmarks with data on a worksheet using the following code which is assigned to a Button and it works a dream (in terms of opening the Doc and populating the bookmarks with whatever data is in the relevant cells on the worksheet):
Sub test()
Dim objWord As Object
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = True
objWord.Documents.Open "location of the letter.doc"
[code]......
However, what I now need to do is Create an Outlook Item (email) with a Standard Subject and send to an email address that will be on the same worksheet (in cell M2 for instance) and with a standard Body.
I dont really need to open the Word doc, like it does at present, but I do need the Bookmarks contained within it to be populated with the source data contained within the Worksheet and subsequently have it attached to the email fully populated - maybe I need to 'close' / 'save as & close' the Doc post generation?

I want to email with excel, and I know how to do it if I have a distribution list already set up in outlook. I want to avoid having this DL in outlook though, and instead keep a list in the actual excel workbook. I tried having the list and then combining all the cells with a semicolon inbetween the addresses into one single cell, then assigning that cell to a variable and inserting it in the cose in place of the DL name, but it doesn't work. Apparently you can't mail to mutliple address thru the VB code, either a single address or a DL. Am I incorrect in this? So I thought maybe I could somehow create the DL first using the names in the list thru code, and then using that DL name to send the workbook.

I have two question for Excel in combination with microsoft outlook:
1. I was wondering if it is possible to create an email from Excel which automatically adds the From-field with a pre-defined emailadres. I am using CreateObject("Outlook.Application"), but I can not add the From-field.
2. I also would like to know if it is possible to do automatically fill the To-field with the emailadress from the user who send me the original file. Maybe this needs some more explanation (sorry my english isnt too good):
* A user can download an excel-form from the internet
* The form is sent to my emailadress
* I give a number to the form
* The user will get a message that his question is attend to with the number of the question
So I use a macro-button to reply when I have filled in the question-number.

Currently I have been tasked with trying to develop a link between an excel spreadsheet and outlook. What they want is for a button to pickup new entries into the sheet and then create outlook events based on several criteria. The first been that is put on several shared calendars, second that the category of the event is call "BID" and gold in color. The last part is where specific information from the spreadsheet fits into the event areas (ie. subject, location, start time, body). I did find code that is a possible solution but manipulating it to what i need. Here is the code.
Code:
Option Explicit
Sub AddToOutlook()
Dim OL As Outlook.Application
[Code]....
As you can see for the most part I have been able to fill in most of the program with what i needed. I have column B on the sheet that has r's on it. If there is an r in that column then the macro creates information from that row, else it skips to the next one. so i need a loop. Also like stated above, how do you make it an event and not a meeting, how do you set the category and lastly for the boy how do i set it so it copies the entire row (column A, Column C to Column L)?

It is for a calibration spreadsheet that I run that keeps track of when items are due to be calibrated.
It works at the moment and has populated my outlook with calendar entry and reminder 2 weeks before they are due - which is perfect.
The problem is when I update one of the calibration dates I will want to re-run the macro to create a new appointment - but this will duplicate all the appointments that already exist! very annoying since there are over 200 items.

I have some VBA code that in one portion of it an Outlook e-mail is created and the active workbook is attached and sent. This code used to work on Excel & Outlook 2003, but now in Excel & Outlook 2007 I'm getting the error:
Run-time error '429':
ActiveX component can't create object
and is stopping on the line
Set OutApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
FY If I comment out the Set OutApp... and If OutApp.... lines and uncomment the Set OutApp create object line, I still get the same error.

I want to make several charts with dynamic ranges. To do that, I wrote the offset functions I need in cells. I've attached a sample spreadsheet. I want to have a macro so that when I run it, it will take the contents of the active cell, insert a name called those contents, and make it refer to the cell 4 to the left of it.
In the spreadsheet, I'd like to be able to click on E2 (sentdate1), create a name called sentdate1, and make its value A2, or =OFFSET('Sentiment'!$A$3,0,0,COUNT('Sentiment'!$A:$A),1). Here's what I have so far.
Sub Macro8()
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -4).Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 4).Range("A1").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="sentdate1", RefersToR1C1:= _
"=OFFSET(Sentiment!R3C1,0,0,COUNT(Sentiment!C1),1)"
End Sub

I have a named range, called SubjectNamesPastoral on a worksheet called Worksheets("Group to Teacher")
I can't assign the named range to the rngSubjectFamilyRangeOnSubjectUsedSheet variable in vba.
the first two lines of code work fine, the msgbox shows "E100:E105", happy days!
However when I try to assign the same range to the rngSubjectFamilyRangeOnSubjectUsedSheet variable, the debugger runs past the 'Set' line without error, but throws 'error 91' at the second msgbox.
VB:
thisString = "SubjectNames" & strSubjectFamilyOfGroup
MsgBox Range(thisString).Address
Set rngSubjectFamilyRangeOnSubjectUsedSheet = Worksheets("Group to Teacher").Range(thisString)

I am doing an assignment about credit rating and I am trying to make a spread sheet based on Moody's credit rating method.
I have more or less finished my model, but I have one final problem; in the end I will come up with a numeric score, which can be translated into the final rating (Aaa,Aa1 etc.) based on some ranges. I just can not figure out how to formulate the formula, especially because I have no experience working with ranges.
I have tried with some IF formula's, but they seem to be way too long and complex, for what I imagine should be a relatively simple task.
In the attached sheet I have a final value of 6.9, which should give an A3 rating given that it is within the 6.5 - 7.5 range.

I'm doing somthing basically wrong here but i'm not sure what, everything seems to work as planned except in each case where a value is assigned the value isn't actually assigned. any ideas?
The basic objective is to convert a list of numbers (1 to 3 digits) to the format "000-" i.e. all three digits with a hyphen at the end.
