Option Explicit forces explicit declaration of all variables in the code. That is why i had to declare ws as worksheet using the Dim statement before using it in the code. It is recommended to have it - however for this code it wouldn't have mattered.
I'm not sure I exactly follow what you imply here. But yes, you can hide all the sheets at first and then "unhide" at the start of the macro. Let's say you have a "Start" sheet.. then:
[Code] .....
The workbook is used by other people too. I cannot just tell them to hide the sheets, it defeats the purpose. What I want is, when macro is disabled, they will only see the START sheet, otherwise, all sheets will be visible. To add to this, a new sheet is added everyday. Sheets name are calendar dates in mmdd format
I found several examples on google, but unfortunatly it conflicts with another macro I use for forceing users to enable macros (hide all sheets except one if macros are disabled).
The attached file is an example contaning the save&close code and the show/hide sheets depending on macros enabled.
If the file is opened with macros disabled then only one sheet will be visible. If the file is opened with macros enabled other sheets are visible.
The problem if that this code uses a custom save, witch makes the save&close not save... (in module1 and in ThisWorkbook)
The pourpose of the save&close is to make sure some users don't forget the excel open and thus block access to it. So if a certain idele time passes excel has to save and close without any confirmation messages.
Macro 1- hides Sheet1 and unhides Sheet2 Macro 2- Hides Sheet2 and unhides Sheet1
I used the macro recorder to attempt to make this work but am running into a problem if Macro1 is run two times consecutively. In this situation the macro displays a debugging error b/c Sheet1 is hidden. Is there a way to get around this...possibly using an if then statement?
What would be the macro if i need to hide multiple select sheets? I'm working on a test with 12 sheets. Even number sheets contains the fields that they need to answer and the Odd number sheets contains the formula for score computing including the answers so it needs to be like this:
Sheet 2 - The test Sheet 3 - Must be hidden Sheet 4 - The test Sheet 5- Must be hidden Sheet 6- The test Sheet 7 - Must be hidden
I already have the code to unhide all sheets, just need the macro to hide specific sheets like the ones above.
I have a workbook that I edit daily then pass along to another team. All of my modules are passwork protected and there are also several sheets in the workbook that I hide before email it to the other team. I hide the sheets by changing the sheet properties in the VBA editor to "2 - xlSheetveryhidden".
This isn't a very time consuming process but I am wondering if there is a way to automate it through VBA?
I tried the the fail safe of "see what happens when I record it" but all I got was an empty Module.
I have 16 sheets and 4 additional sheets that will kind of 'Group' these 16sheets. For example: I have 'Sheet1', 'Sheet2', 'Sheet3'......, 'Sheet16'. 4 additional Sheets are: 'Group1', 'Group2', 'Group3', 'Group4'.
I need a help with macro so that when this workbook is open all 20 sheets ('Sheet1', 'Sheet2', 'Sheet3'......, 'Sheet16') will go into hiding and only 4 additional Sheets ('Group1', 'Group2', 'Group3', 'Group4') will be visible. Now, these 4 sheets will have the command button links to the following sheets:
This being said, when you click on each command buttons, the respective sheets will open up and when click on 'Hide All', all of the open sheets for that *additional sheet' for example sheet 'Group1' will go into hiding again.
I wrote a macro to select multiple sheets by name and hide them, but I keep getting the following error message:
"Object variable or with block variable not set".
Below is the macro:
Sub HideSheets1A() Dim ws As Worksheet Application.DisplayAlerts = False If ws.Name = "Variance Evaluation" Or "Investment" Or "Costs & Incentives" Or "Revenues Total" Then ws.Visible = False End Sub
I would like to have a macro that will hide a column based on the value in the row. I have multiple sheets and if row 4 (or more specific, B4:AL4) contains a zero, then I'd like the whole column to be hidden on that sheet. I'd like to be able to run the macro and it evaluate every worksheet.
I have a workbook that contains approx 50 sheets and will grow to somewhere in the region of 200.
The majority of sheets, which contain the raw data referenced by the renaining sheets, are hidden. I will occasionally need to update the data in some of those hidden sheets and would like an easy / quick way of unhiding them.
The front page has several comboboxes which select the page needed for the calculation being performed, eg I select Chapter2 in the first combobox, section 4 in the second and page 12 in the 3rd. The output is combined / abbreviated into into a cell eg Ch2-Sec4-P12. That being the name of a sheet I then use INDIRECTs to retrieve the data I want and place it in a spare sheet, that works well.
I'd like to do the same to select the sheet to unhide. I can setup the comboboxes to give the name of the sheet I want to unhide / hide in a cell but then I'm stuck;
How can I use the contents of a cell in place of the sheet name in a macro command such as Sheets("data").Visible = Not (Sheets("data").Visible) ?
I have a worksheet with several option buttons and until yesterday, I had no problem selecting them. But today, every time, I select a radio button, an error shows up stating "Cannot run Macro "Option Button_click. Macro is not available in this workbook or is disabled". When the user selects a radio button, text appears in Col B depending on what button was selected (using VLOOKUP). That stuff is still working fine. It's just as soon as I click a radio button, the error shows up.
Based on the radio button selected, user can add in information to the columns adjacent to it, and then click a button to store that information in some rows below. The code for that button is stored in the sheet module. I have tried enabling macros and disabling macros and no change has appeared. What I have noticed though is that yesterday, when i opened the workbook, a yellow bar appeared asking if I wanted to "Enable Content". Today, that bar didn't appear.
I was wondering if it is possible to prevent a macro from running depending on what value is in a specified cell.
I have a huge excel sheet and a commandbutton that runs a bunch of macros in order to generate a report.
I want to force the user to select a specific project before all the macros are run. Just making the report for a specific project only takes a few seconds but if no project is selected then it runs throught the whole database and it takes forever.
I have set up a cell that changes value depending on wether a project is selected or not. I have placed the cell in the -ForMacros- sheet. Now is it possible to write some code into the commandbutton that halts the report generation + displays a warning box telling the user to select a project first?
What values used to determine wether the macro runs or not doesnt matter to me. Whatever is easier for you
I have attached a sample workbook for you to work on.
I accidently put the Application.Quit command in the wrong place. Now Excel closes immediately when the macro executes. I can get into Excel if I disable the macro, but then it won't let me edit the macro. Is there a way to edit my macro without executing it?
I'm trying to assign a shortcut to a macro I wrote in VB. However, when I go to Tools->Macros->Macros, none of my macros (whether coded in VB or recorded) have the "Options..." button enabled, so I can't assign the macro. This happens whether I use Excel 2003 or Excel 2007. The file is not readonly and I have tried the various levels of macro security. I have VBA installed.
When you enable macros the sheets 2, 3, 4 ect are visible but if you disable macros, you only see sheet 1 and and you can place a message on the sheet saying this will only work with macros enabled.
I have a workbook with macro button to run some vba, if i want the button to disable when the user make copies of the workbook (date created is later than original wb saved time) what codes to add in the VBA?
what i assume is to add the time to a cell when the wb is saved, when the wb opens, it check for that cell if the same with the date created, if different, then disable the macro button.
I'm creating a "welcome" page to the workbook with instructions on how to update data. The data between the 20 sheets consists of pivot tables, charts and summary data. The Visible sheets are data for management's review (all protected). The 3 hidden sheets are pivot tables that the user needs to pull data from and the very hidden sheets are not to be seen by anyone.
In my "welcome" page, I added the instructions of how to update data, but wanted an area where I could assign a checkbox or button to click on for the user to unhide my 3 hidden sheets (say Sheet1, Sheet2 and Sheet3). I do not want it to unhide my very hidden sheets. Then, when the information needed is retrieved from those sheets, I would like the user to use a checkbox or button to hide the 3 hidden sheets again. Is there a way to do this?
I tried creating custom view but couldn't do that because of the pivot tables (the option was disabled). I'm a beginner in VBA so don't even know how to begin.
I have a workbook w/ 120+ sheets, and the first one is a table of contents, while each following sheet is a record sheet for one of 10 individuals. That is, sheets 2-8 are for Alice, 9-12 for Bob, 13-29 for Charles, etc. Individual names are in column C, sheet names are hyperlinked text in column A on the table of contents sheet.
I want to know how to hide all the sheets which are not meant for the individual based on the autofilter of Column C. If I select Alice as the autofilter criteria for Column C, I want all the sheets except the table of contents and her sheets 2-8 to be hidden.
Im working across Multiple Sheets and trying to get the following working.
I want a an input by the user of "NO" in cell M11 on Sheet 1 of my workbook to hide rows 32 - 41 on Sheet 2 and not to hide them if the user keys in "YES"
I have a workbook where each sheet is password protected. I'm trying to find some code that would unprotect each sheet, and hide rows 1-12 on each sheet, and then re-protect all sheets.
I would like to have all my worksheets except one hidden when a user saves the workbook. I can do it with a macro but not all users use the macro to save the document and sheets are left visible.
I'm trying to only show specific sheets per user using the environ variable and this code seems to work for the single user / sheet but the master user does not function correctly i.e. the code does not show all sheets, this is the code I am using:
[Code] ......
Why the above code does not respect the Master User "Jane" should be able to see all sheets?
I have these following codes. when i click button then it updates the records, like pulling data from sheets and putting it into one. thats working fine. only things is, when it update the records, then it shows whats going on behind, all updating sheets get visiable. is it possible can i just hide whats going on in the back? when i click the button msg box comes up that please wait its updating the record.
Dim Response As Integer MsgStr = "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO UPLOAD NOW?, PLEASE CONSIDER RE-CHECKING YOU INPUT!!" TitleStr = "USER MESSAGE" If MsgBox(MsgStr, vbYesNo, TitleStr) = vbYes Then
Sub HideDatedSheets() Dim wb As Workbook Dim ws As Worksheet Dim dDate As Date
[Code]...
So what im trying to do is keep the Union* sheets shown as well as the Report* sheets shown. But i believe i have the code wrong because they are not showing up when the work book opens...
Trim(ws.Name) = "Union*" Or _ Trim(ws.Name) = "Report*" Or _
Here is what I think I want to do (however there may be a better way to get to the end result).
Macro 1: Unhide all worksheets however, first list only the worksheets that are visible.
Macro 2: I want to be able to hide all worksheets except those in the above list.
My intent would be to have these in the personal file so I could run either process on any file I have open so I think I would need to insert a tab for the list when unhiding & remove the tab after hiding.
I have found many strings unhiding all & hiding all except a named sheet... but can't find anything on the above?
