I have a workbook with 3 worksheets. I am trying to delete 2 of the three but "Delete Sheet" is grayed out in both the "Edit" menu and RtMouseClick menu. The sheets are not protected and the workbook is shared. Do I have to un-share the workbook in order to delete sheete? If so.
View 9 RepliesI am maintaining an issues list in excel. File contains two worksheets/tabs: 1) Open Issues & 2)Closed Issues
One of the columns is Status. When an issues is in 'Complete' status, it is removed from Open Issues and added onto the 'Closed Issues' worksheet.
There are many issues closed daily and its quite a manual task to individually delete rows in one sheet and paste them at the end of the last row in the other sheet. Want to have a button/macro that would find any rows that have the cell for the status column w/ value 'Complete', delete it from 'Open Issues' sheet, and append it to the 'Closed Issues' shseet.
ive done basic c++ programing years ago, but know nothing about vba or excel macros.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was trying to print a workbook which was about perhaps 20-30 sheets of roughly one page of printed info each. However, I saw the print job and it said it was printing over 7,000 pages!!!
It turns out there were about 4-5 worksheets which were blank (and also didn't have gridlines even though gridlines were checked on in options).
When I switched the sheets to page break view, lo and behold each sheet contained a few thousands "pages". I simply can't seem to reduce it down to a relatively normal size.
I tried going right past the edges of page 1 and deleting all columns/rows to the right and bottom of it to no avail. I selected the whole worksheet and removed all borders and any cell content with no luck.
I saw other "solutions" on the internet about copy/pasting the other unaffected sheets to a new workbook and deleting, but this seems cumbersome.
I am tring to make a macro that will find all charts in a worksheet and delete them.
the macro is essentilally a monthly refresh that cleans out a template of charts that were pput in the previous month. As the chart names and the number of charts might vary from month to month I just want simple code to select all charts in the worksheet and delete them.
I am absolutely new to visual basic thing but have a good idea of what I am doing in excel. I have seen some code to delete pics but can't figure out what it is that I am suppose to do. What I am doing is coping and pasting something from the internet. I do not need any of the pics that are pasted into the worksheet and am tired of deleting them individualy.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAn old post provided the following macros that purportedly prevent users from deleting a worksheet. Unfortunately, it also makes it so you can't delete ANY worksheet in ANY file, which is of course not what was intended. Need figure a way to remove this nuisance? All attempts to delete a sheet keep looking back to the offending workbook, even though the macro has since been deleted from it.
Try pasting the following two event procedures into the Help sheet module:
'==========================>>
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Dim CB As CommandBar
Dim Ctrl As CommandBarControl
For Each CB In Application.CommandBars
Set Ctrl = CB.FindControl(ID:=847, recursive:=True)
If Not Ctrl Is Nothing Then
Ctrl.OnAction = "RefuseToDelete"
Ctrl.State = msoButtonUp
End If
Next

I have exported a report out of Quickbooks with all my customers that have done business with us from 2005-2008. I want to be able to delete the customers from the worksheet that have done any business in 2008. So that I am left with a list of customers that have not done any business with us in 2008. Can a formula or macro do this for me. I don't just want to delete the rows that contain any dates in 2008, but delete the customer as a whole from the workbook.

I've included bits of my code and some debug output. Whenever I attempt to add a worksheet, either BEFORE or AFTER I get the following ERROR MESSAGE: Method 'Add' of object 'Sheets' Failed. if I use the .add without before and after a worksheet is added. The problem is that it is always added before the active sheet. I need to replace a single sheet in the correct position of possible 10 sheets. I know the names of the sheets and which one I want to replace, but I can't get EXCEL to move sheets, add sheets by position Number or name, without getting the ERROR.

Does anyone have SIMPLE code for this that can be run in a normal Sub. My worksheet will always be named "Cleaned". I have seen some posts regarding Functions and other things that seem more complicated than necessary.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've written a macro that plots a graph directly in a white painted sheet, using lines and arrows figures.
The problem is that everytime I plot something, the xls-file gets larger, and the size doesn't change if I delete the figures. Since there's a lot of lines and arrows in my plot, I use 'Select All' and Edit-> Remove and this removes all figures, or at least for the eye. I suspect they are still left there somewhere, since the size grows with every new plot and since that sheet seems to have gotten a bit slower, when moving between cells.
Am I correct, or is there another reason for the size/ speed issue? If I my theory is correct, how do you permanently delete these "invisible" figures?
On my Worksheet, I have a Commandbotton that executes this macro to delete all comboboxes in another sheet.
Sub DeleteShapes()

If TypeOf obj.Object Is MSForms. ComboBox Then
obj.Delete
End If
Next

This method works most of the time, but sometimes I get this error:
delete method of OLEObject class failed. I red in this forum, that I should set the TakeFocusOnClick Property of the CommandButton to false.

I have a short subroutine to delete a row in a second worksheet (SUMMARY EXPENSES) if one is deleted in the main worksheet (AS CODES) as per below:
[Code] .......
In theory the row deletion should only be triggered IF dynamiccounter is smaller than staticcounter, but the fact is anything whatsoever triggers the row deletion. If I type text into a cell a row gets deleted. If I copy a cell, a row gets deleted. It works great at deleting the line, but I suspect it has nothing to do with the counters I set up and the reassigning of the counter value towards the end of the If statement.
I have a worksheet with a bunch of formulas in it. Computations are done on the worksheet and then I start a macro that copies the sheet and replaces the calculations with values.

how to write a procedure to delete macro code that is in the worksheet property? I created a and excel model for a colleague which had many macro procedures including "Worksheet_Activate". The problem is now this individual moves the worksheets into new workbooks and this is cause many runtime errors. Is there a way I can write a copy/move procedure that also deletes the Worksheet Activate macro so that error does not appear?

I'm sure you're all familiar with Text Boxes:
You can add shapes and text boxes (text box: A movable, resizable container for text or graphics. Use text boxes to position several blocks of text on a page or to give text a different orientation from other text in the document.) to a worksheet by using the Drawing toolbar.
Did you know that if you click the text box button, then click on a spreadsheet (inserting a blank text box), then click off the text box, a small blank text box will remain hidden from view on your spreadsheet? Once hidden, the only way to find it is to slowly move your cursor over the Text Box edge, and watch the cursor momentarily change shape. Did you also know that if you copy or fill down the cells behind that text box, it will make as many copies of itself as you made for the cell? Not too dis-similar from a virus.
Imagine what would happen if you unknowingly had some of these text boxes on your main calculation sheet (200 columns by 2000 rows); one where you regularly copied formulae/cells for a period of over four years. Yes, (judging by their names e.g. "Text Box 29413") the thriving population of these invisible beasties is now in the neighbourhood of thirty thousand! The damn things are worse than fleas; and they're impairing the function of the whole workbook.
Help! Would someone please provide a VBA macro to find, select and delete these little devils from the spreadsheet (just this one spreadsheet)?
I would like to disable cut/copy/paste and maybe delete inside a worksheet. Reading earlier threads on this subject provided the code to put in the ThisWorkbook module, where it works great for all my worksheets. However, there is one worksheet where it is necessary to have copy/paste, either with control c or right click/copy. Here is part of that code provided by Tom Urtis:
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.OnKey "^c", ""
Application.CellDragAndDrop = False
End Sub
What do I replace Application with to work on just the worksheet level?
I was after a bit of code to delete the range names on a particular worksheet I thought it couldn't be that hard but have only been able to find this in the archives, unfortunately I get an error when trying to execute it:

Dim Sht As String
' Put in name of sheet where the range is located
Sht = "Org Lookups"
For Each n In ThisWorkbook.Names
If n.RefersToRange.Worksheet.Name = Sht Then
n.Delete
End If
Next n
The error I'm getting is Run-Time error 1004, Application defined or object defined error.
