is there a a way to get an Array formula to work in a shared workbook? when this was put in the workbook It worked perfectly but I didn't think about the fact the workbook was going to be shared !
The formula is:
Code:
=LOOKUP("zzzzz",CHOOSE({1,2},"",INDEX(S$3:S$40,SMALL(IF(COUNTIF(L$3:L$38,S$3:S$40)=0,ROW(S$3:S$40)),ROWS(T$3:T3))-ROW(S$3)+1)))
I am encountering a specific scenerio where In I am creating a New file by copying one of the sheets And renaming that With todays date. here starts me problem when I try To share the sheet To work around I am seeing that th macro Is Not copying the sheet properly even though i have given PasteSpecial. The code goes here
VB: AutoLinked keywords will cause extra spaces before keywords. Extra spacing Is Not transferred when copy/pasting, but Is If the keyword uses "quotes".
Sub Newsheet()
sheetname = Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yyyy")
MsgBox sheetname
sheet_count = Worksheets.Count
'Checking for Replication................
Using Excel 2010.
I've created a spreadsheet at work that has two summary tabs which contain hyperlinks to around 30 separate sheet tabs.
On each sheet tab there is a list of unique values in column A (and other information relating to each value in columns B to D which are repeated for more than one unique value). In column E, users enter a test script name against each unique value they wish to 'reserve', and the macro picks out the unique test script names and via the COUNTIF formula counts the frequency of each test script name for each of the different values in column B.
My problem is that the macro seems to work fine if the workbook is not shared, but errors if the workbook is saved as shared. The error is 'Run time error 1004 - Unable to select the MergeCells property of the Range class'.
Here is the macro code:
Sub Get_Policies_Per_Script(updCol As Long, ShtName As String)
Dim rowctr As Long
Dim tgtrow As Long
Const ppsformula As String = "=COUNTIFS($A$3:$A$65000,I$24,$E$3:$E$65000,$G"
If updCol = 5 Then 'test name column has been modified

I am trying to use the SUM IF Array formula to sum a group of numbers that fall under a heading of reference numbers over several sheets of data. For example purposes lets say my spreadsheet looks something like the below.
A
B
C
D
E
1
2600000248391
2600000393805
[code]......
The first two digits of the heading numbers are the criteria I am trying to use to separate and sum the data. For example I need to sum the value of the data below headings that falls between 1400000000000 and 1499999999999.
For the example above I used the below formula for the current Sheet and it works fine.
{=SUM(IF(A1:E1>="1400000000000",IF(A1:E1="1400000000000",IF(Sheet1!A1:E1,Sheet2!A1:E1
Ive got a problem with a work book im working on at the moment, my company has various different documents created in excel, like a price list, cost price list & stock levels (all Independant) I have had the idea to join them all into a single shared workbook using an idea I found and modified over a year ago on this site, that had the promise of allowing multiple users to see the nessesary parts of the same document. the advantage of this being any new parts or prices or suppliers added would update all users at once. So ive got this workbook that when you open you get asked for a username & password this then hides/unhides, protects or unprotects to suit the users needs. This works great when unshared but when I share it the login box wont display
The Administrator username is jamie and the password is joshua
I have a spreadsheet representing a month where I am trying to figure out different scenarios for employees. One scenario is that an employee could have to move to a temporary position. In that case, I need to calculate the salary payments to temporary employees in a particular work unit. I've tried several different approaches to this problem, but am still getting the error.
One method has been using this sumproduct formula:
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 an Excel workbook which is networked throughout our business. Its been in daily use for years with no problems. Every month I add a new sheet and to do that I untick the "allow changes by more than one user...etc". However this month the tick is greyed out and wont let me clear it. The pc's run windows XP professional with Excel 2003.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow do I get a shared workbook to automatically save upon every change by each user. The only way I can get this to work (at this point) is to run a macro that updates every 45 seconds IN EACH WORKBOOK! It's counterintuitive because the workbook is shared (on a network), but each user must start the "time" macro in their "individual" SHARED workbook to allow the automatic saving.
What am I missing? There has to be a more efficient way to do this, right?
Code below
HTML Sub Time()
Call Save
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:45"), "Time"
End Sub
HTML Sub Save()
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub
I have a workbook that i am trying to make a shared workbook.
Shared workbooks have all kinds of functionality limitations. The one specifically giving me problems is the ability to protect workbooks.
Once a workbook is shared it's protection cannot be changed.
I protect a workbook prior to sharing and set the UserInterfaceOnly property = true (this allows my code to do whatever it wants but still maintains protection in the user interface).
Once i share and excel makes me save, everything works super and all the code in my auto_open macro works perfectly. But as soon as i close and open the file it seems that the UserInterfaceOnly property i set to true turns off and my code stops working.
Because it's a shared workbook i cannot turn it back on in the auto_open because that functionality is disabled.
We have a worksheet, which contains charts and data which requires updating by different department.
However, when I have this work- book as a Shared workbook (Tools - share workbook), The charting and macro has all been deactivated.
Would anyone have any idea on how do I share a workbook - while being able to also update the Excel Charts within it ?
(Different user will be updating different charts, and there will be no conflict in between them)

Is there a way to setup personal views of a shared workbook ? For eg : I might hide columns f to j and the other person might have to hide columns h to m. Also, one person might be using ver 2003 and other person using 2010.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOur main spreadsheet in the office is a shared filed which is accessed by 3 pc's.
We have been using this set-up for nearly 3 years and no problems until this last week. Now, over the past week, this message pops up when we try to save the file on the PC's not hosting the file.
"Excel was unable to save the workbook because there was a problem reading or applying part of the revision history. You can unshare the work book or save to a non shared workbook format to fix the problem"
I have shared/unshared/reshared and shared again but a week later, I still keep getting this message popping up. Any ideas?
One thing I have noticed is that we have set it in the advanced tab of the share workbook options not to keep revision history, but sometimes it also shows 'keep history for 30 days'.

I have a shared workbook is it at all possible to leave the cells unprotected so a user can enter data but prevent cells from being formated
for instance someone on night shift with nothing better to do has decided that black text on a white background is boring and changes it frequently to a rainbow of colors. and text types
it is making a well laid out and good sheet look like something a child has done
I would pursue this down a discipline line but it has proved impossible to nail down the culprit from the many users
My macros don't work when the workbook is shared. They are not stored in my personal workbook and so are available to all users. What's going on?
View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing Excel 2000, I have a shared workbook which is effectively a single sheet, flat database. Rows contain dates, and when certain dates occur, I want to send an email alert to specific users. I have searched and found lots of guidance on that aspect, but am wondering how best to trigger the email alert. At least one, and up to 10 users access the shared workbook at different times of day, and I only want to review the data and send the email alerts to the relevant users once per day.
I thought about a timed event, but cannot be sure the shared workbook will be open. I wondered whether an event in Personal.xls might do it, if I ensure I open Excel every day, but it's not ideal. Finally, I wondered if I could somehow trigger the alerts when the first user opens the workbook - but can't find how to capture that.
Can you use or apply advanced filters in a shared workbook?
I have a workbook project where I am dynamically applying advanced filters through VBA.
The intention is to share the workbook at some point for data entry among a group of people. I did not see advanced filtering listed in Excel Help as one of the features that are not available, but I did note that if I try to apply one through the menu bar it is greyed out in a shared workbook (autofilter is still available).
SETUP: I have a shared workbook that is accessed by many people. It is designed to control the flow of work during the monthly close process. These processes are controlled by macros. There are 40 sheets in this workbook.
PROBLEM: On of my location's workbooks frequently loses half of it's sheets in the workbook. Counted in the neighborhood of 14 to 19 sheets go missing.
EFFORTS: I have attempted to Delete, Cut, Move, etc... these sheets with no success.
Only when I put the file in an exclusive state can I manipulate the sheets.
I have a workbook which I need to give shared access.
The workbook has macros which make sheets visible and VeryHidden and also give certain sheets protection. Also a filter runs on one sheet.
When I give the workbook shared access, the macros error?
how I can give me workbook shared access but still allow the macros to hide/unhide sheets, filter and protect worksheets?
Split from Macro To Insert Rows In Protected Worksheet. I have found this code wgich appears to be very close to what i want. Just to re-iterate -
A) i want to detect if any other user has the shared book open, if yes-display msg and exit - it seems to do this by just adding an appropriate msg box
B) if no - open it and lock other users out by temporarily remving share or allowing them in but as read only - not sure if it does that.
Also not sure if it works for a shared file - cannot test as i do not have access to shared network from location.

I've designed a performance indicator (PI) recorder for up to 12 users, it has a userform allowing the users to input their data and a button to save the data and unload the user form. the data is saved using the following
Dim NextRow As Integer
On Error Resume Next 'skips line if workbook is not open
ActiveWorkbook. Sheets("DATA").Activate 'sets the "data" worksheets as active
NextRow = Worksheets("DATA"). Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1 ' finds the next empty row
With Worksheets("DATA").Range("A" & NextRow) 'inserts the data from the user form
there follows a series of offsets to slot the data into the correct column,
then this code to save the workbook
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("reports").Activate
Application.DisplayAlerts = False ' suppress overwrite warning message
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "MY PATH"
CreateBackup=False
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
MsgBox "Spread sheet Saved"
The problem I'm having is that when the user then closes the excel application there is a conflict between the users 'saves' i.e. one ultimately will overwrite the other. is there a way round this ?? (this is in EXCEL 2000)
i need to work out a formula for my spreadsheet which I use to work out cutting lists for timber frames. I need it to work out if the width of a job is for eg 2400mm i need to work out how many timber studs I need so the space between each stud is between 400mm and 500mm and this will need to work for a range of different sizes of frames. I have it written at the moment and it just devides the width by 400 and gives me a amount of studs but it would work much better if it could space them between 400 & 500.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using excel 2002 and I have found that when the workbook is shared and getting 2 or more users to open the workbook around the same time brings up a read only type prompt box for the 2nd ( and 3rd) user when the book hasn't fully opened for the 1st user/is still fully opening. Is this a limitation within excel or is there a way around this for example via vb code.
I know the more data a workbook has can cause it open a lot slower but is this the same for shared mode.
