I would like to create a macro (with button) that can be used in any workbook. I tried creating a macro in a blank workbook and added a macro button to the Quick Access toolbar. It shows up in any workbook I have open BUT when I run the macro, it also opens up the blank workbook.

I have a spreadsheet which has all the names of trips from a warehouse, the day that they operate (1,2,3 etc) and the job line allocated to each trip. It looks something like that:
A B C
DAYTRIPCUST
I would like to create a macro that will be creating 7 new workbooks and then in those workbooks as many sheets as the trips. In these sheets, the customers should be displayed.
How do I write it? I could not find how to have a "dynamic choice" in the macro. I.e. not to have the criteria as "1", "trips1" but to choose from the range of inputs that are available.
Is it possible to create a new workbook, add a macro to it, set it to run as an auto open event and then save and close the new workbook?
To explain a little better, I have a macro in a workbook. This workbook is opened by Filemaker which triggers the macro to run. The macro creates a number of different workbooks using information from an online file dump which is then imported into Filemaker.
However when the import is finished, I'd love for all the files that have been created to get deleted again. Now I realise I could just create a second workbook that Filemaker opens once the import is finished that deletes all the files. However I want to keep things as simple as possible for the user, and for them to have as few files as possible so things are less likely to get misplaced in the future. My concern is as they never see the workbook macro firing, they won't realise how important it is, even if I make it very clear.
So what I was thinking is at the end of the first macro, it creates another workbook, with an auto open event macro in it that simply calls a macro from the original workbook, and once created it is saved and closed. When Filemaker is finished with it's import, it could then open the new workbook which calls the macro in the original workbook. I could then have the original workbook macro delete all the added files, and close and delete the other macro enabled workbook it created. Which would leave me with the original workbook only.
I've created what I thought was going to be a simple macro which will create a new workbook, rename it "Applications Calls", then copy a pivot table/report from another workbook and paste it. Here's my rather amateur code which doesn't work.
Sub copyreport()
Workbooks.Add
ActiveWorkbook.Name = "Top Ten Apps Calls.xls"
Windows("Applications Calls Logged North.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("Calls Logged by Customer").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("Top Ten Apps Calls").Activate
Cells.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("A16").Select
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable5").PivotSelect "Silo", xlButton, True
ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False
ActiveWorkbook.ShowPivotTableFieldList = False
Range("A16").Select
End Sub
Writing a Marco. I would like to place a macro on the opening page of a workbook and like to a button that executes three functions.
1) I need to hide selected tabs in a workbook
2) I need to copy paste values of a couple select cells in a workbook
3) Lastly, I would like to set up the workbook so that the use can not move beyond the opening tab with out clicking the macro to preform the steps above.
Is this possible? I know 1 and 2 are for sure, what about 3?
I'm tryign to create a macro which will copy certain worksheets into a new workbook (i.e. Book1), and the macro continues to work with this Book1. Is it possible to create a more robust macro which will rename Book1 into something usable (i.e. "Report")? because if the session of Excel has already had another worksheet, it will go to Book2, and then the macro won't work.

Basically im working on a comprehensive checklist with all possible scenarios that will need to be tailored for use, so you can create a document with just what is applicable to you and not the whole checklist. I have attached a sample of what i mean, along with clearer descriptors of what the document is designed to do.

I am after some code to create a new worksheet called 'xxxx' in my workbook, and then list all the sheets within the workbook (excluding the newly created 'xxxx' sheet.)
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am currently creating a database which involves using a macro to create new worksheets in the workbook. When the macro is run and a work sheet is being inserted, an input box asks the user for a worksheet name.
As you can imagine, the worksheet does not like it when the worksheet name input by the user, is the same as one already existing and so throws up a 1004 error.
In order to resolve this error I have included an error handling code to request the user to input a differnet worksheet name, as the one previously inserted exists.
My problem: It all works fine until the user types in an existing worksheet name twice, so once initially and again when the error handler has prompted a second attempt. On the second incorrect input a 1004 error warning is displayed.
I would like the error handler to keep repeating until a worksheet name that doesn't exist is inserted by the user. Is this possible?

"How to create a 'main' macro to control other macros within a workbook". I have my individual macros created. There's one macro for each sheet that searches online data and returns the information. I have one of these per sheet (a total of 20 sheets) since I couldn't find a way to have all 20 macros be on one sheet and still work. My trouble is that whenever I'm on my 'main' sheet and try to run the macro which applies to a 'secondary' sheet, I get an error. I have to select the sheet first, then run the macro and it works. Below is the macro on each sheet.

Dim EndDate As Date [code].....
VBA Macro to work through a worksheet that consist of static data (tab 4) cost centres and to populate a new work book per cost centre consisting of three tabs for every cost centre found in the static data.
The master Workbook has the following tabs:
Tab 1 is called travel and consist of column a which is the cost centre number (plus 14 other columns)
Tab 2 is called Mobile and consist of column a which is the cost centre number (plus 14 other columns)
Tab 3 is called Expenses. and consist of column a which is the cost centre number (plus 14 other columns)
Tab 4 Static Date column 1 cost centre number and consist of column 1 which is the cost centre number (plus 14 other columns).
If no information found on a specific cost centre, the tab will include the headers and return the words "No transactions for this period"
Whilst splitting data into Tabs the workbooks should check against the Static Data table and include cost center description in Column B of each tab in the new workbook.
If master workbook consist of the following....
Tab 1 is called travel and consist of column 1 which is the cost centre number (plus 14 other columns), cost centres, 555,557,
Tab 2 is called Mobile column 1 cost centre number and consist of column 1 which is the cost centre number (plus 14 other columns) cost centres, 555, 78689,
Tab 3 is called Expenses. column 1 cost centre number and consist of column 1 which is the cost centre number (plus 14 other columns), cost centres, 555,
tab 4 Static Date - column 1 cost centre number and consist of column 1 which is the cost centre number (plus 14 other columns). cost centres, 555, 557,78689
It should output 3 workbooks by cost centre number.
One for 555, which consists of 3 tabs, travel, mobile and expenses.
A second for 557 which has 3 tabs travel, mobile and expenses, but only with data in the travel tab.
A third for 78689 which has 3 tabs travel, mobile and expenses, but only with data for mobile data.
The workbooks will be replicates of the contents within the tabs where column a wil be the cost centre plus 14 additional columns.
I need new workbooks based on category name in the below list. Respective sheets should be copied from the existing workbook with items as sheet names. List can be updatable.
category(workbookname)Items(sheets)
Vegetables carrot
vegetables brinjal
meat chicken
meat Fish
meat Mutton
grains Wheat

I wrote a code in unshared workbook and it works fine. But when i make it shared i get Run-time error '1004' Delete method of worksheet class failed.
The Deleting of worksheet only occurs once (when the new wb is created) so is there i can unshare and share it back when the process is complete?
I have been tasked with creating a macro which creates a new workbook wherein each sheet contains the information for one site from the active sheet. The active sheet already has the values sorted by the site such that all information needing to be copied from the active sheet into the new workbook is together.
I.E.
ATL
ATL
ATL
ATL
CEN
CEN
JCK
JCK
etc.
There are 8 different sites on the active sheet: ATL, CEN, DAL, HAR, JAS, JCK, VIS, NOV
The macro needs to find the range for all of the data of each site and copy/paste that data into a new workbook such that ATL would have its own sheet, CEN would have its own sheet, and so on. The data ranges from A:R.
So, for example, the macro would find that the last row with ATL in the "B" column is 6095 and would then copy A2:R6095 and insert that data into the new workbook under Sheet 1.
I had some code that I had adapted to select the range for each of them, but the code loops through the entire sheet (which is 44,307 rows long) for each site making it a quite clunky and very slow step in an even longer macro. Since the data is already sorted, I know there must be a way to have the macro stop searching when it reaches data not equal to the data the row before, however, my experience with VBA is limited, and I have been unable to find a solution. Also, the data does not have to be conserved after being sent to the new workbook, if that would speed up the macro.
I've got a problem with this code, have been wracking my brains about. Here is the process I am trying to do:
1) Copy a range (a2:av1000) but (ideally) find the last populated row from a closed workbook (with a different password)
2) Create a new workbook and paste this data into it at A2
3) Close all the workbooks but only save the new one.
I need to create a macro that can create a dynamic copy/paste loop. So far what I have is horribly inefficient. Each row in colmn A(minus the header) has a unique number in it. For each unique number, I need to paste it based on the number of column headers in row 1(minus column A). So, if there are 20 column headers, I need to copy cell A2 and paste it 19 times in another sheet. Then, I need to move to the next number in column A and do the same thing. Here's what I have:
[Code] .........
You can see that this is not dynamic. If I add another row to my table and rerun the macro, it will not catch it. I've attached a sample file to show you the big picture of what I'm trying to do. The data that I have is in Sheet1, and I'm trying to get it into the format in Sheet3. Rows/columns will be periodically added to the table in Sheet1, so the macro needs to be dynamic to catch that. The data in Sheet3 will always remain, and the macro will add the updated data below the old data in Sheet3.

way to create a msg box with if you click "yes" it will copy the data from sheet 4 on workbook 1, and paste it onto a new workbook that is a copy of a standard template of workbook 1, and rename it based on a file name you give it.
ex. Pro Shop Template
Workbook 1 is Pro Shop 9/08-10/08
New Workbook 2 is a copy of Pro Shop Template but names Pro Shop 10/08-11/08
Is there a way of creating a new excel workbook using a macro that is stored as an Add-In.
The new workbook is to be created in the same folder. If I use the following command in macro then it saves the file in the Add-In folder.
I need a macro that will copy and paste the data from the range below from every file in a directory with each file in the directory on a new row. My goal is to build a database with the information in the files in the directory. I will need to be able to put the directory in the code at a later time as it has not be set up yet. it will be on the local computer and not on a network share.....
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am new to macros on excel but I am trying to create a cash up workbook. This is what I want it to do:
First Sheet should be a summary of the month with each day. From there I want it to generate 4 worksheets for every day's cash up. (which should be Daily Cash up, Credit Card Sales, Cheque Sales & Account Sales).
The Daily Cash up Sheet must pull info from the other 3 and must allow me to input cash values manually. But the cc sales, cheques sales and account sales must be pulled from the other sheets.
After completion of cash up there should be a button on the Daily cash up sheet to say Finalise, where when it is pressed it summarises all totals on the first sheet. So when I open the workbook every morning, there should be a button on the first sheet to create a new 'cash up'.
Then there should also be a button on the first worksheet for month end, so that when you press month end it finalises the month and generates a new work book for the next month.
I want to include a help section in a workbook I created. I need something more than just a MsgBox ;-)
I'd like it to be like the windows' help that you have everywhere.
I want to the following steps to be done by vba of excel.
1. copy ranges of cells in the active worksheet (sheet3)
2. add a new workbook and paste the copied ranges to sheet1
3. save the new workbook with the new file name (e.g. date)
4. close the new workbook and clear the contents the copied ranges of cells in old workbook.
following code and make it more simpler?
Worksheets("Sheet3").Activate

Range("l1").Value = CDate(Date)
End If
asdate = Range("l1").Value 'date entered by user
resp4 = MsgBox(" Case particulars of " & asdate & " will be backed up and deleted from this sheet! Proceed? (Y/N)", vbYesNo, "Deletion of Data")
