i have a macro button designed to wipe all user entered data into a workbook. I want it so you cant accidently press (as you cannot undo the operation). Anyway for making a dialog box appear asking if you are sure to wipe date, with a yes or not option.. no will obviously abort the macro.
if possible, another box to come up asking if you want to save the file first with a different file name (comes up with a save as box).
this is the code so far:
Sub MonthCleaner()
'
' MonthCleaner Macro
' Macro recorded 17/10/2005
'
I have an excel form where users can input modifications by selecting a range and then pressing a command button to input a value in the selection.
My goal is: to restrict the location where a user can select a range of cell and then execute the macro . The cells where the user can use the macro are merged and in my code, I used the address as show in the address bar in excel for their location. If the user select a cell that is not permitted, a message box is displays and exits the code.
If (Selection.Address <> Range("AE7").Address) _ Or (Selection.Address <> Range("BM7").Address) Then Msgbox ("Wrong location") Else
For some reason it doesn't work since the message box appears even if I am within the permitted locations.
Note: AE7 is the first cell of a merge, same as with BM7
I have a button. When pressed, it runs a macro. Instead, after pressing the button, I would like the user to confirm to run the macro and display some info about it. This is to make sure the user does not accidentally run the wrong macro (button). I just need a prompt box, with a line info, and the two choices YES and NO. If NO is selected, nothing happens. If YES is selected, macro continues.
I'm using Excel 2002 on and XP machine. I am creating a spreadsheet to track a work plan.
Column A: Name Column B: Date Column C: Time Column D: YES Column E: No Column F: New Date Column G: New Time
What I'm looking to do is input click able buttons in Columns D: Yes and Column E: No.
When a user clicks on YES, a pop up window should appear with the data in columns A,B,C.
The p0p-up should contain CONFIRM and CANCEL buttons.
Asking the user if they want to confirm the date and Time.
If CONFIRM is clicked Excel should then send an email to me and the user to say that the work schedule has been confirmed.
If CANCEL is clicked the pop-up window closes.
Secondly if the user clicks NO, a pop-up window should open with two free text boxes. One for Proposed date and One for Proposed time. And again 2 buttons for Confirm and Cancel.
If Confirm is clicked then Excel should record the data entered in the free text boxes into Column G and Column H and send emails to me and the user with the Proposed date and Time Data.
I have a macro which works well. All it does is save a file to a specified location on my network. However, after a file is saved there is no prompt telling the user that the file was saved successfully leaving them wondering whether the macro actually worked.
VB: Public Sub SaveAs() ThisFile = Range("X2").Value ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="legdcAudits" & ThisFile & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=52 End Sub
1. I can't remember it, but I know there is a command so that the view hold and that the selected tabs and cells does not show and the same view remains until the "unhold" is called in the macro. THEN the view is updated. What is this command again? Could not find it...
2. The macro needs to delete tabs at the click of a button (easy part) but for each deletion, a message appear:
Data may exist in the sheet selected for deletion. To permanently delete this data, press Delete. Is there a way to prevent the message from popping out when the macro is executed?
I have some code in a standard module. When I try to run it, it does not appear in the dialog box. The code's below.
Code: Sub CopyCat(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) If Target.Column 21 Then Exit Sub If Target.Value = "Y" Then Cells(Target.Row, "A").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1) Cells(Target.Row, "B").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1) Cells(Target.Row, "C").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1) Cells(Target.Row, "D").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1) Cells(Target.Row, "E").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1) End If End Sub
I am very sure that I have deleted all my macro in my excel spreadsheet and saved. However, when I tried to open the file, the macro dialog prompt me again..... I have press alt F11 and confirmed that there is no macro.
I want to record a macro that can be used to open different dialog boxes e.g conditional formatting, go to, sort, paste special etc.
what should be the way to record a macro to do this. I have tried it but to stop macro recorder I have to close the dialog box first but in this way it records nothing.
I am modifying a corporate macro that is used in to create a standard technical letter. This standard file has 6 macros, that once used to create the letter, are never used again. I know, the first thing that jumps out is to create an add-in. I'd prefer not to got hat route at the moment for various reasons.
What I'm looking to do is after the letter is created, and the print macro is called and prints the letter, all macros are removed (already found help for this on this site), then check to see if the file has been saved, or still has the template name, and then either save or bring up the save as dialog box for the user to save the file with the appropriate name and folder.
I'm looking to create a macro that launches a dialog box upon file launch. Based on the input, I want excel to only show the tab which corresponds to the dialog box entry.
For example, if it asks "What is your name?" on file launch and I respond "Alex"; i want the tab labeled "Alex" to only be shown for the user.
I am trying to add a simple function to button in Excel.
First I need to select cell G24 as that where the inserted file should be placed on the worksheet. Then on the Add Object window to open but the tab 'Create from file selected.
Below is only part of the solution Sub ShowInsertObj() Application.Dialogs(xlDialogInsertObject).Show End Sub
Also is it possible to detect that file has been placed on the page ? In cell G24?
I am wanting users to attach a required zip file. I then need to check if they have done so.
Back in IE8, when you tried to download a file, it'd pop up a little box asking if you wanted to download or save the file. Macros in Excel could work through it using code like 'hWnd = FindWindow("#32770", "File Download")' to get the box and interact with it.
IE11 now has an obnoxious little ribbon that appears at the bottom of the window instead of the box, so FindWindow comes up blank.
There are a number of files including .xls, xlsx, and .csv, and there isn't a static link directly to the files, so I can't just put the link in workbooks.open. Also, to get some of the files, there are logins and forms to fill in with dates and the like. I can get through all of that stuff and click the button to download, but it's that open/close button that's stumped me.
Any way to get an Excel macro to interact with that Open/Save ribbon in IE11?
Stumbling over syntax on what should be easy. I want to password protect the active sheet using plain vanilla user input box; and then unprotect ALSO via an input box. Doesn't matter about masking the input with **** or whatever. Based on responses below, here is macro code I used:
To protect the sheet:
Sub ProtectSecurity() Dim pword As String pword = InputBox("Enter Password", "Password") ActiveSheet.Protect pword End Sub --------------------------------- To Unprotect the sheet:
Sub UnprotectSecurity() Dim pword As String pword = InputBox("Enter Password", "Password") ActiveSheet.Unprotect pword End Sub
I have a workbook with 23 pages, each running a macro to calculate the final "answer". I would like to make the title page comman button create a dialog box, listing the 23 pages/macros with a check-box for each (default is "checked") asking the user which macros / calculations to execute. Any ideas how to do this? I am trying to avoid making this a sheet in my workbook.
I've forgotten how to prevent the macros from showing in the macro dialogue box.
I'm sure it's got to be something with the VBA editor, but I can't figure it out.
I've got some files where the macro list is hidden and I'd like to do the same again, but for the life of me....I'm stumped. I'm sure it's something very simple.
I've protected the Worksheet & Workbook.
I've done some searching...."macro hide", "hide dialogue" etc. but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
It's been a while since I had to amend code, as everythings been running very smoothly.
1. When a user clicks on a Drop down box and selects "Add New", I would like a Macro to run
2. I want this Macro to open up a Dialog/Text box to say "Enter New Information" where the user can enter in some text
3. The text that is entered by the user into this box will be added as a new entry into the Drop down box selection
My VBA knowledge is still at a beginner's level and I know how to get a Macro to run based on a cell value. However I don't know how to create a Macro for the dialog box nor do I know how to create a Macro for updating the drop-down items.
I have to do a project, but I'm not really sure how to go about it. Here's my problem: I have about 200 stock ticker symbols already given(ie. AAPL, MSFT, NEE, etc...), and i have to create an excel file where i would copy/paste or enter in another set of stock ticker symbols and would give me back the answer if any of the newly entered symbols match the ones i already have(either in form of 1 or 0, YES or NO etc...).
Whenever updating an Excel file and saving it as a new file, a "Confirm Save As" window appears. The default is "NO" (No is Highlighted). Conversely, in MS Word, the default is "Yes" (and, YES is highlighted). I would like to change the default from NO to YES in Excel.
I'm trying to prompt user when he tries to delete a value from a cell so he can confirm is action but not the same way to all cells.
Let's say that I have cells A1:F10 with values, and user should be able to change this values but not to delete them (can't be a blank cell) and I want to prompt him that info (something like "Cell can't be blank!").
In other range a want a different thing: let's say cells H1:K20. In this cells user should be able to change cells values and also delete them but I want to ask him for a confirmation (something like "are you sure").
I'm trying to use the following formula to verify if the "," is within a cell. Something is not right, because even for True conditions, I'm getting a False return. I think my True logical test is not written right.
I've written some VBA which creates worksheets to temporarily store data in. At the end of the code I delete the worksheets. However, for some reason I am getting a message box which asks for confirmation. How can I avoid the user of my report having to click OK for each of the worksheets which need to be deleted?
I am trying to do a macro that looks to see if the date is different from one cell to another going down in rows. I got it to work until the cell is empty then it says the date dont match but I just want it to stop the loop. so it should go down a list check to see if the date is the same all the way down the list, stopping if cell is blank, if not give a message box, if it is the same stop.
Is As follows
Dim rowNum As Integer, colNum As Integer, currCell As Range
rowNum = ActiveCell.Row colNum = ActiveCell.Column rowNum = rowNum + 1 'get first cell Set currCell = ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 3) 'loop while cell not empty Do Until currCell.Value = " " If currCell.Value = ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 3) Then If currCell.Value = "" Then End If
Here in our department we made a pretty elaborate macro that takes a report and sorts them out to 17 different sheets in a one workbook. This Macro pulls a file from a specific location on our server and then opens the CSV sorts it out color codes all the important information and saves it back onto the server under you specific initials.
They are four PC's along with our Managers laptop that run this Macro daily.
About 3 weeks ago my Managers laptop stops running the Macro completely and hangs in the middle of the whole thing. Eventually crashing Excel.
We try to remove the modules and re-import them back into the personal macro workbork but this does not work. The Macro's did not change and still fully function on the other four desktops to this day.
I uninstall Office on my Managers laptop and reinstall. Import the Modules again and still hangs up in very same spot it did 3 weeks ago.
I've tried to lower the macro security to the lowest level also and I've still had no luck with this laptop. I don't understand. The Macro's function perfectly on other PC's but will not function on this laptop.
I have a Sheet sheet1 and I want to run a macro when the cell D2 in Sheet1 is equal to 10,7,5,and 3. I only want this macro to run when those values are reached the macro then puts the data onto a sheet called wps. The macro is run as a module and is a sub macro.
I'm trying to make a macro check if a file has been saved (ever). If so I want the macro to do a regular save (with already esatablished filename and location) before it proceeds with the rest of the macro. If the file hasnt been saved (if it runs from a new workbook) then I want it to pop up the save.as dialog, so that the user can choose the name and location of the file before the macro continues .
