Limit Of Time Your Can Hide Columns In A Macro
Aug 1, 2007I often have macros that hide columns. Seems there is a limit to the number of time or columns that can be hidden before you get a debug. Message.

View 9 RepliesI have some code that checks to see if a file exists on the network. Works great (super fast result) if the file is accessible. Works ok (2-3 seconds) if the file is on the other side of a vpn. Works sloe (5-15 seconds) if the file is there on a vpn network and I'm using a wireless computer (wireless adding extra lag). And finally; really slow because the wifi connection is slow or some what out of range ...... I want my code for checking the existence of this file to stop after a specified amount of time.
Code:
Sub AreWeLive()

Is it possible to place a prompt message regarding the time limit or return time when entered time is place on the worksheet? Like "Please be back at 8:30 AM" when the user click the Start time button at 8:00 AM.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have created this macro (below) in a standalone spreadsheet and the expected results are that Columns A,B,C,D,G,H will be displayed after I run the macro.
But when I use the same macro in my production worksheet (columns and ranges adjusted accordingly) this macro creates the following results: Column A is displayed and all the rest are hidden (B,C,D,E,F,G,H). I am stumped as to why this occurs. Can you advice me as to how to get this macro to work and display A,B,C,D,G,H ?
I have a single button I want to use to call a macro to:
1.Hide columns C:AZ if they arent already hidden
2.Unhide columns C:AZ if they are already hidden.
I have written a macro to hide any column (within a range of columns) that has an 'x' in it. By putting the 'x' in the column, it allows the allows the user to choose what columns they want to hide. I have an inverse macro as well that unhides those hidden columns.
These macros work perfectly in Excel 2003, but they do not work in Excel 2007. In Excel 2007 I get a compile error: can't find project or library. As a note, all other macros in my spreadsheet (Module 1) work.
I want to set up a macro that will hide and unhide columns.

I'd like a macro that can hide/unhide certain columns. At the moment, the columns I want to hide/unhide are F, I, M, P, U and Y.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a simple macro that I have been using to hide columns in a very large spreadsheet. Essentially, the user has access to buttons that allow him to choose between a variety of the most commonly used views. For some reason, when I add columns and adjust the code to hide/reveal these columns, I get:
"Run-time error '1004' - Unable to set the Hidden property of the range class"
with the Debugger highlighting the code for "BO:DC". This problem occurs for several of the similar buttons, including toggle buttons, that hide/reveal columns. I am aware that custom views can be created in the drop-down menu, but I wanted to keep these buttons on the sheet as a quick means of moving from view to view and toggling columns between hidden and revealed.

I have a sheet with a hierarchy of operating units in a column, with DirectX checkboxes next to each (used a VBA script to auto-create the checkboxes ).
The checkboxes go from D5:D147, so 142 checkboxes. They are named checkbox_D5, checkbox_D6 all the way to 147, so checkbox_[Column]&[Row].
Based on a True/False value in another column to the right (BA or column#53), I am hiding specific rows. Just to give a sense, if a checkbox for a Level 2 hierarchy is clicked, I have some formulas to determine which Level 3 rows will be shown by putting a TRUE in column BA. For sake a speed, I created these to only run for 30 rows per click (that's the most that would ever change on a checkbox click).
I did not know how to do it any cleaner, so I created 142 of these:
Code:
Private Sub CheckBox_D5_Change()
Dim i As Long
For i = 5 To i + 30
[Code]....
It works OK up to checkbox_D23 or 24, but excel seems to reduce the number of rows it goes through for each checkbox below that, with checkbox_D31 down doing nothing. I read somewhere about a 32 form item limit, wonder if I'm hitting that.. Cleaner way to do this vs. 142 instances of checkbox_XX_change() events?
My spread sheet is a church offering register that is used to record weekly contributions. Column A contains the names of the individual contributors. Columns B through BA are used to record the weekly contributions for each of the 52 weeks of the year. Row 1 of columns B through BA contains the Sunday date MM/DD/YYYY.
I would like to have a macro that would scan those cells looking for a date < today. If that condition is true, I would like to hide that column. When date = today or date > today the macro can end. The goal is to have display the current week's column immediately following Column A.
Need a macro for each button.
The sheet will be protected with a password (in the future, users will have varied access privileges).
Column A is designated as the "Button" Column.
There are 5 buttons here. Each representing the area on the sheet that needs to be viewed. Once the button is pressed, it takes you to that section of the sheet. At this time, I have designated each column area as:
a-z
aa-az
ba-bz
ca-cz
da-dz
I have tried this formula with opening tabs, but this won't work.
I've tried using multiple loops in the forum but cannot seem to figure out how to actually get them to work properly using the conditional VBA codes on two separate worksheets. The first code snippet is checking cell values from row 6 to 148 as such:
Sub Check_Shifts()
'Insure all shift entries are completed
If Range("K6").Value < "1" And Range("I6").Value < "1" And Range("G6").Value < "1" Then
Range("G6").Value = Range("F6").Value
Range("I6").Value = Range("F6").Value
Range("K6").Value = Range("F6").Value
ElseIf Range("K6").Value < "1" And Range("I6").Value < "1" Then
Range("I6").Value = Range("G6").Value
Range("K6").Value = Range("G6").Value
ElseIf Range("K6").Value < "1" Then
Range("K6").Value = Range("I6").Value
End If
If Range("K7").Value < "1" And Range("I7").Value < "1" And Range("G7").Value < "1" Then........................
I want to hide and unhide columns based on a cell's value.

I'm trying to record a macro which will hide and unhide columns K:P of data, but I only want one button. I know how to do this to produce one button for hiding and another for unhiding...but I want one combined button.
How to use vba, how I do this via the macro recorder?
I have a workbook with several sheets that have basically the same template but some have many more rows that others..
I am using the following code to hide columns based on cell value to "tidy it up" for printing.
Code:
Dim i As Long
For i = 170 To 2 Step -1
Cells(39, i).EntireColumn.Hidden = Cells(39, i).Value = "N"
Next i
I would like the VBA to determine what the row number is based on the row header e.g. "Prioritised Courses", rather than having to maintain the code each time new rows are added.
I would put it at the top or way down the bottom, but multiple (even less excel skilled) users will be using the "hide columns" functionality.
i have created a spreadsheet to simplify our work flow, I am stuck on what is probably the easiest of the commands.
basically have rows dedicated to specific codes and the colums represent values relating to each code, all codes have a different set of values, the attached example only has a few variables but the actual worksheet will have several hundred.
the idea is the user will input the code they wish to get details on in A2 and then press the command button and it will then show (as per the after sheet in the attachment) just the relevant information for that code, so filter the code in column A and hide the columns which hold no value.
where i am getting stuck is I am not sure the best way to proceed, is it best to create the macro button to do the filter and hide or is there a better way using vlookup and a pop up window asking for the relevantcode to be inputted to to retrive the information, again understand there will be hundreds of colums and hundreds of rows and the values may be 20 or 30 colums apart for some of the Codes so this simplification is really saving the user a lot of time.
I have a function which will allow me to search for combination of numbers which will sum to zero. However, because the range could be as long as 300 rows or even the possibility of not finding the combination that will sum to zero, the macro will take ages to complete or even causes the whole excel to hang. So What i want is to instruct macro to stop doing the search if it cannot find the results after say 20 minutes of searching.
Is that possible?
I have a numeric value in G2, (in this case 7).
I have a date value in H2 - in I2 I want the date which is the date in G2 plus the number of days in H2, (so 20/01/2014 + 7 would give 27/01/2014 for example).
BUT - I also want it to account for a scenario where the value in G2 is 'No Expiry', so in that case I want I2 to show 'No End Date'.
A coworker of mine will keep a shared file open for hours at a time, not doing anything to it, just keeping open, meaning no one else can edit it as required. Is there a way to set a time limit for that file to remain open before it saves and closes the file? The file shouldn't need to be open more than 30 minutes at a time for any individual. If it's required to stay open longer for certain instances, is there a way to extend the time as well? I can't find anything even remotely relating to time limits on Excel files. Is there coding or an app I need to apply to accomplish this? Is there an option I haven't seen in the program already?
View 3 Replies View Relatedlets say i have 200 used columns. if i delete 150 of them and then (without saving the file) try to add 100 more i get an excel has reached its limit error. theoretically 200-150+100 = 150 columns, which should be well within the 258 column limit. but excel still gives me the error )its like its calculating 200+100=300 > 258). HOWEVER, if i save the file after deleting, i dont get any errors at all. is this a "feature" of excel and if so is there anyway of circumventing it? because i dont want to save the file prior to adding the columns (i do the whole thing in vba). actually i dont want to save the file at all unless the user click on the save button or choose save/save as from the menu.

I would love to be able to limit the number of rows in a specific sheet so that I can quickly carry formulas to the bottom of a worksheet without carrying them to row 1,048,576. I'm aware of options to hide rows and/or to limit the scrolling with the "view code" option on the worksheet tab; however, I'm mainly worried about worksheet performance. When I carry a formula down, I don't want to see a spinning blue circle run for minutes at a time, and I'm hoping to avoid the same spinning circle when I undo my formula. Is there any way to actually limit the number of rows, or is there any other limitation I could put in that would increase worksheet performance?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI poked around and found a macro to highlight the active cell, but I want to limit it to be active only for range A1:A37. Any ideas? I put in the Set OldCell = Range("A1:A37"), but all it does is turn every cell you pick blue and it stays that way, so I'm not sure how to limit it.
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Static OldCell As Range
Set OldCell = Range("a1:a37")
If Not OldCell Is Nothing Then
OldCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
End If
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 8
Set OldCell = Target

I have a macro which checks a column for a name, and any instances of those names it finds it copies and pastes into a new spreadsheet which it saves to a path of my choosing and closes it, then moves onto the next one. However, my macro is stopping halfway through my sheet and one of the lines of code is being highlighted as an error by the debugger - even though the same line has just worked for the last 60 instances or so.
is there a limit to how many times I can loop a macro?
I have a check box on a worksheet that when checked calls for a timer code from a module. This works fine however what I am finding is that the code in the module is applying the result all the sheets in the workbook not just the sheet where I have activated the check box. I am a novice at VBA and no doubt there will be a simple solution. How do I limit this to my active sheet. This is the code in the module
Code:
Public Sub Watch1()
If Sheet2.CheckBox1 = True Then
Range("AH2") = Range("AH2") + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1)

I am working in a macro that will do some calculations and I would like to end it by plotting the results in some charts. Results are in one dimension array form, with probably more than 1000 elements. Can anybody tell me if there is any limit for the arrays that are going to be asigned to the XValues and Values of the chart?
