from 1 sheet i am opening several other worksheets and read in the bits i want.
i am finding that on occasions the workbook_open on these sheets is causing great performance issues because of the calc mode set to automatic in the open routine of the individual sheets. i dont need it to be set to auto but the sheet owners perfer it to be set like this and i cant turn it off their sheets. is ther a way of opening a workbook from a macro and then override its workbook_open routine?
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(sSourceFolder & "" & "mySheet.xls", False, True)
i cant find any other switches that i could use to disable this.

I am working on a =transpose function. Pretty simple right? Well now I am trying to have it SKIP/SELECT certain columns.
I have =transpose("date!B1:T1"), but now I want to "Select A,B,D,E,F"
=TRANSPOSE(INDIRECT("date!B1:T1"),"select A,B,D,E,F,G,H,P,Q,R,S,T")

A post about skipping rows is very similar to my situation, but I'm stuck on how to translate that for columns. (Filling formulas but need to skip cells)
I'd like to transfer information from a worksheet called "Raw Data" to another sheet, skipping every 5th column. I'd like to go from "Raw Data" B12 to a new sheet C6, then from "Raw Data" G12 to D6 in the new sheet, and so forth.
I figured out that I'll need to use COLUMN()*5-13 as a component of the function, but I can't seem to figure out how to format the name of the worksheet correctly, with the ampersand and quotation marks.
This doesn't work at all, but I think it's in the ballpark...
=INDIRECT("Raw Data!"(COLUMN()*5)-13)&12)

I need to add something to my macro to delete a sheet if it doesn't have more than 40 rows of data. If it has more than that, it needs to do a whole bunch of stuff to it. I've already got the whole bunch of stuff written, I'm just not sure how to do the if function. I took a stab at it, but it wants the count to be an object. I am not very good at writing code.
Code:
Dim count As Integer
Set count = "COUNT('33M & 33RUL'!A:A)"
If waffle Is "

I currently have a macro which does data mining and saves the workbook in the end. I intend to disable to the save function of the workbook and force the user to use the macro everytime the workbook needs to be saved. this is what i have so far but it does not seem to work. Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim NoSave
NoSave = MsgBox("Changes have to be submitted before the workbook can be saved, Proceed and submit ?", vbYesNo, "Continue?")

How can I disable the paste function on an Excel worksheet, including drag and drop?
Preferably I still want to retain the ability to copy.

I have a spreadsheet where a column has many cells being empty and others with values. I need to use copy-paste skip blanks to another column so it only overwrites cells that contains values. BUT The cells in the column appears to be empty, not blank, when I try use the copy-paste skip blanks it doesnt work. However, when I press delete in every empty cell the copy-paste skip blanks works for those cells.
Do you got a fast method to make all the empty cells blank?

I want to use this command when I open every workbook.
How do I do that? I know you're supposed to put the macro in the thisworkbook module in the workbook, but I have 600 workbooks that needs to be changed. That is just not a good idea. I've tried to put the macro in the workbook called own.xls (I use a swedish version of excel, dont know what it is called in english) thisworkbook,

I script that on open would pop up asking if a sync was done with an option for yes or no. If yes is pressed then it would just open, if no selected it would give a message "must sync before use" and close the workbook.
I do not want this message to pop up when other spreadsheets are open when this one is still open so im guessing private workbook_open

I am using the following code in my Workbook_Open sub, located in the ThisWorkbook code module. I am enabling macros when opening. All other VBA code in the project is running correctly.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Sheet1").init
MsgBox "starting"
End Sub
The init sub did not appear to be running so I inserted the MsgBox to confirm, but that doesn't come up either.

I have an Excel add-in file (stored .xla format) that is used by a lot of other spreadsheets on a network location because it is modified often, and all workbooks made from a template reference it. everything with that works fine, and any changes made to the add-in file are always reflected upon startup in the workbooks. So there isn't a problem with that. Recently I've had to add a Workbook_Open() sub into this add-in (which I wrote in 'ThisWorkbook'). However, this macro is never entered by any of the workbooks. Is it possible to have a workbook_open sub in another file? If so, what can be causing it to fail (there aren't any errors or anything like that in the sub)?

I have noticed this on more than one workbook with an Workbook_Open macro. When you open Excel, open Workbook1, do some work , save or don't save and close, then reOpen Workbook1 without having closed the Excel application, the Workbook_Open macro in Workbook1 doesn't run.
Closing Excel and reopening Workbook1 initiates the Workbook_Open macro. It's as if Excel remembers having previously opened Workbook1 and so it doesn't rerun the Workbook_Open macro the next time you open it.

why the code below might not execute ? It just seems like it skips over the code and doesn't run at all.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'AssignRequestNumber()
MsgBox ("Whoa")
Run "AssignTrackNumber"
End Sub
I have a macro assigning a unique number to the file in a fixed cell whenever the .xlt file is opened from File-New.

Here is what i did:

GlobalStartX = 6
GlobalStartY = 21

the following workbook open event which repeats a macro called "Refresh" every 30 minutes. However, there is another macro "tame_blph" that i wanna call at 12 midnight everyday.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Call tame_blph
NextTick = Now + TimeValue("00:30:00")
Application .OnTime NextTick, "Refresh", , True
End Sub
Is it even possible to have multiple Workbook open events and/or multiple NextTick or something?

I have built a complex vba & multisheet spreadsheet that I am looking to secure against all the common attacks. So I have:A Workbook Open pw;
VBA password (29 symbols/numbers/Caps/lower case)
Very Hidden worksheets
Hidden rows/columns
Restricted scroll areas
Workbook protection
Code that auto protects all sheets upon opening
Registry referencing in Workbook Open with timed closure if not matched
Now I am on the last leg of implementing protection against Application.EnableEvents = False; force enabling of Macros and hiding of toolbars, scrollbars etc... Phew.
Soooo, in my research, I have learnt that if EnableEvents = False, Workbook_Open is essentially skipped and the security VBA routines are disabled. To get around, I have copied the entire contents of the Workbook_Open routine to a module under Auto_Open. The first line of both these scripts is: Application.EnableEvents = True.
Works! So far so good.
However, I have a Msgbox prompt in the scripts that displays twice. So in essence, Excel is running Workbook Open first, then Auto Open second.
If I open another instance of Excel and run Application.EnableEvents = False first before opening my spreadsheet, I only get one message. So only the Auto Open script runs.

i have this code which askes the user for a job number once the workbook is opened.
Private Sub Workbook_open()
' If sheet was named by original open routine, exit
If ActiveSheet.Name = "Main Roof" Then Exit Sub
' otherwise
Do
Returnvalue = InputBox("Please Enter a New Job Number.", "Information")
' Allow changes by entering q as the Job Number
If Returnvalue = "q" Then Exit Sub
' Delete the ' from the front of the following two lines and
' then when you enter q as the Job Number you will also be
' asked for a password. The default password is toe.
what iam trying to do is get it to open the userform "WorkSelection" after it has completed the above code.

I've been setting the above property to TRUE after making some changes in the Workbook_open event in order to stop annoying messages if you haven't physically made changes.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to copy through to the workbook_beforeclose event and I'm being asked if I want to save changes even though the macro made the changes and then set the property.
Here's my code for the open event :-
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
For counter = Worksheets.Count To 2 Step -1
Sheets(counter).Visible = xlVeryHidden
Next
Sheets("Desktop").Visible = True
Sheets(1).Visible = xlVeryHidden.....

Because I have a formula that updates the bottom of a table I have to put Total row at the top, the first row.
The propblem is that the filter obviously includes this row. Is there a way to tell the filter to skip over the first row?

I have two sheets open. On the first sheet i have a drop down list of dates from which I select. That list of dates is on another sheet. I want to be able to select a date from the drop down list, then when I go to the second sheet, excel skips down to the row that contains that date. I can also make it values if it is easier.

I have 2 worksheets. On worksheet 1, I want to copy every 8th row in Column A. I want to copy the data from these cells onto worksheet 2. I want the data to appear on every other row on worksheet 2. To summarize, I'm trying to copy the data from every 8th row in one column BUT I want it to appear on every other row in another column.
I tried hiding the cells I don't need but then I can't sum.
