Linked Cells In XLSB Not Updating
Aug 7, 2014
I recently found out about .xlsb, which is faster and file size.. (mainly using it for the improved speed)
Now I've changed all the files at work to .xlsb and now link them all to .xlsm files that i can use to update the links to pull the data from the .xlsb files and then run macros as i need to.
However... I am having some issues with linked cells not updating automatically? is this because if the .xlsb format?
1. my understand was that .xlsb is the same as .xlsx just XML limitations.
2. my excel is set to automatic but i have to manually force it to update (and in some cases need to repoint the cell to the cell in the spreadsheet again).

I have two excel files saved on the network. Test1.xls and Test2.xls. Test1 is the source and test2 is the destination.
When i update a cell in test1, this cell is referenced in test2 - so anybody who opens test2 will see the data i changed in test1.
Here's my problem. I need a way to manually update the cell in test2 without having to close and reopen Excel.
Only opening and closing Excel will ask me if i wish to update the data.
How do i force manual update?
Below is the link in test2 using Excel 2003.
='\servernameshare[test1.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1

I have 2 excel workbooks - each containing one table.I have 1 Powerpoint Prtesentation with OLE Links to the 2 tables.
All I want is for any update in the excel tables to show in the running PP Presentation. The annoying part is when I set up the linked objects, everything works perfectly and any changes in the excel files update real time in the PP presentation.
As soon as I close the excel file and reopen though, from thereon in I have to update the links manually.
Things I have tried:
A PP Add in called "Update Links" which updated the OLE links on every rotaion of the show. This would be a fine workaround if it didn't stop the slideshow if/whenever someone was updating one of the source files with the "file is already open..." message...So set both source files to shared as PP will only be reading the data anyway. Still the error appears.Inserting some code into PP:
Code:
Sub linkupdate() Dim osld As Slide Dim oshp As Shape For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides For Each oshp In osld.Shapes If oshp.Type = msoLinkedOLEObject Then oshp.LinkFormat.Update Next oshp Next osld End Sub
All I want to do is update the links without stopping the slideshow. I have tried numerous PP approaches, but maybe there is an Excel solution that will update links automatically on each save.

I am using the Format as Table feature in 2010 and I am summing a range of cells (C2, D2 and E2) with the result in F2. I have linked F2 three rows below the table in cell C5.
When I add new data in the 3rd row in the table feature I can get an updated result in F3 but my linked cell does not update as it is now pushed to cell C6.
How can I have the linked cell update with the new total from cell F3 as it moves relative to the table?

In Excel 2007, I have a tables linked from Access 2007. I frequently delete and import a new set of data into Access, then refresh the Excel file. Most of the time this works, but I've noticed sometimes one column doesn't refresh (even though I can see it in Access). If I modify the field name in the Access query, then refresh the table in Excel the newly named field is added in the in the last column of the table with current data. The column that wasn't refreshing stays the same.
When I originally created the link in Excel, I added various columns with formulas, but do not edit the columns that are imported from Access.

I have a simple macro that's in my default Excel startup file (Personal.xlsb - located in the folder C:Documents and SettingsUsernameApplication DataMicrosoftExcelXLSTART).
The problem is when I try to open two instances of Excel (not create a new workbook). I get the error message "Personal.XLSB is locked for editing."
I've look at other threads that talk about adding the macro as an "Add-In" (Personal.xlsb and multiple Excel's), BUT my problem is that I want to assign the macro a keyboard shoutcut (currently set to ctrl + shift + v).
I don't know of a way to assign an add-in macro a keyboard shortcut.

I am looking for a macro that i can store in my personal.xlsb. what i need is pretty much is something like this
private sub workbook_open
if workbook.name "inventorysummary.csv"
then application.run "personal.xlsb!capacity"
end sub
I only need it to run just for this file and i cannot place it in the file due to it gets replaced every day. Which if it didn't get replaced. I know how to do auto opens when the file stays the same I am just unsure for this.

I am making a report template in excel. I have written a macro to format the report based on the contents of two other sheets in the work book.
I am attempting to combine two cells in separate sheets as a linked cell in a third sheet.
i.e. in sheet 3, A1 I want to combine the values held in sheets(1).range("a1") with sheets(2).("A1") as a link which will update as the parent cells values are changed.
The cell has to be a link of the other cells as their contents will change based on the report requirements.

I'm trying to create one spreadsheet where I use formulas to come up with an "end total" on a daily basis. I want these "end total" values to be automatically recorded each day on a separate spreadsheet that keeps a historical log.
In example:
On Day 1 I will enter numbers into "Spreadsheet A" to come up with an "end total" for that day. This number will automatically be entered into "Spreadsheet B" on the first row.
On Day 2 I will write over the numbers from the previous day in "Spreadsheet A" to come up with a new "end total". This new "end total" will be automatically entered into "Spreadsheet B" on the second row.

I'm working on right now is a spreadsheet where we catalog and monitor account information for a handful of groups. I have several different worksheets that contain grouped information such as all groups we have and a list of individual people in those groups. Those groups are in a single column going down and the people are in a single row for that group going from left to right, an example is below:
Master Personnel Listing for Accounts
-------------------------------------------------
Group 1 | Name 1 | Name 2 | Name 3
Group 2 | Name 1 | Name 2
Group 3 | Name 1
Group 4 | Name 1 | Name 2 | Name 3 | Name 4....................

I currently have numerous workbooks with linked cells to a master workbook, but the linked cells dont appear to carry over or retain the formating from the master workbook (e.g. font style, bold, underlined, font color, cell color). I make changes quite often to the master workbook and would like the changes carried over to the other workbooks. Does anyone have a script where it would automatically carry over the font formatting? I hope this is understandable.

Now he has another task that I am not having any success with. He has asked if we can make an Excel spreadsheet that allows us to access a list of customer units from a drop down menu which is in another workbook, and once you choose that particular unit, another drop down menu will allow only those customers who are assigned to that unit to be selected from that sub-menu. I hope that makes sense.
Say customer A1 (we will call him Delta Co, 2-1 Aviation) is selected from this first drop down menu (which I haven't figured out how to make yet either). Then this selection would access another worksheet in that other workbook with a new drop down menu with only the four customers in that unit. As an example we will use the names SSG Wilson, SGT Jackson, SFC Jones, and SGT Phillips.
So when the Supply Tech here opens the spreadsheet, the first drop down menu, he will select Delta Co, 2-1 Aviation. Then the next menu will only show four names, and he will select SFC Jones.
Once we get this going, I may be able to figure out the other things the commander wants, if not I will be back.

I have problems with dynamically adding and removing checkboxes. I have a form and there is a button to add more rows to the table. Every row includes a checkbox too.
So first i add a row, and then add a checkbox to a specified cell in that row.There is a button for removing rows as well (witch should removes checkboxes as well).
My problem is when i ad the checkbox the linked cell property only works for the first one.When i add the second row the linked cell of the firstly added checkbox changes to the one in the new row and the new checkbox has no linked cell. I am adding the stuffs as follows:
VB:
Private Sub addBtn_Click()
Dim y As Integer
y = findFunc("end") // Y define where To insert the New row
Cells(y, 11).EntireRow.Insert
Cells(8, 11).Copy
[Code] .....
Any way to add checkboxes dynamically.

I'm creating an excel sheet that is linked to several others. Basically my salesmen will enter their new prospects into their own sales sheets and that will transfer via a link to my main one. The problem I'm having is mainly with my sort.
When the information is transferred, I need the sheet to auto sort the Company names alphabetically and move any blank cells to the bottom.

I have a Database and every entry in the database has its own corresponding sheet with the data in a more viewer-friendly format. I want to assign a macro to a button to loop through all the sheets, copy the cells and paste to the database (to update the database).
Also, nothing prevents the user from deleting the sheets or mixing them. So is there a way to take the reference number from the database in column B, search for the corresponding sheet which has the reference number in cell B3 and then update it accordingly.
Code:
Sub Button19_Click()
Dim WS_Count As Integer
Dim I As Integer
[Code]...

Read about the Dfunctions and SUMIFS/COUNTIFS not working between linked objects and think my error is the same.
SYMPTOMS: Formulas wont work unless linked workbooks are open. Once open they work and as soon as the sheet is altered after they are closed, they links break.
My formula =OFFSET(('Linked Workbook'!$A$1),0,VLOOKUP(Range,RangeData,2,0)-1) or go to workbook and bring back a certain amount of cells to the right of A$1$ based on a lookup formula in the Main open workbook.

I'm using links to pull our sales prospects from our salesmen's individual sheets into one master sheet for reference. Once the prospect information arrives in the sheet, I need it to sort alphabetically by customer name so that we can see which customers have been visited and don't visit the same customer twice.
So far in VB, I've been working on this
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Range("A5:L" & Cells(Rows.Count, "L").End(x1Down).Row).Sort Key1:=Range("B6"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:= _
xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
End Sub
But it's not sorting the way that I need to. All I really need is for the sheet to sort automatically by Company Name and for all of the 0's to go to the bottom. They are 'blank' data that will eventually be imported from the salesmen's individual sheets as they encounter new customers.

When selecting from a list of text items in a pull down menu in a cell how can you link that change to other cells to effect a change in them. An example would be if the pull down menu was in cell A1 and as a result of the text selected to be shown in A1 resulted in a need for the text in C3 to be changed as well as the formula in cell D3 to be change which will result in a numeric answer in cell D3. Not all of the choices in cell A1 will require that the text and formula be change in cell C3 and D3.

I have a long list of sedols and wish to download the last price for each on a limited range of dates (30 dates, hundreds of sedols). So I built my excel file to have the sedol running down a column and dates across the top, with the function:
=BDH($A4&" Equity SEDOL1","PX_LAST",DATE(YEAR($D$1),MONTH($D$1),DAY($D$1)-0),DATE(YEAR($D$1),MONTH($D$1),DAY($D$1)-0),"Dir=V","Dts=S","Sort=A","Quote=C","QtTyp=Y","Days=T","Per=**","DtFmt=D","DTS=H")
the cells are not updating automatically, even when I hit refresh.. the only way is to go into each cell and hit enter (not practical!).
The next problem is that it adds something like ("cols=1;rows=2") to the end of the function and copies down further than I want.
Is it the case that the Bloomberg functions just can't handle having the dates across the top and security identifiers down the side - or is there some work around?

I'm looking for a formula that would take the newest figure from a column in sheet A and update cell in sheet B. Every week it's going to be a different cell in a column in sheet A (always one below last week's) but the same cell in sheet B.
Basically I would like one cell in sheet B to show me most recent information from column in sheet A...

I am going to try to be as detailed as I can here:
I have been manually inputting the most recent "paid to date" field from one sheet to another within the same workbook.
There are about 20 different payment schedules for each deal. Each of these has their own sheet, and we will call this the "Deal" sheet. Some deals are paid based on a monthly schedule, some are quarterly, and others are annual.
The "deal" sheet looks like this:
Due Date Payment Payment Rcvd Remng Payment Payment Date
8/31/08 $10,000.00 $10,000.00 $0.00 08/1/08
9/31/08 $10,000.00 $10,000.00 $0.00 09/1/08
10/31/08 $10,000.00 $10,000.00 $0.00 10/1/08
11/31/08 $10,000.00 $10,000.00 $0.00 11/1/08
12/31/08 $10,000.00 $10,000.00 $0.00 12/1/08
1/31/08 $10,000.00 $0 $10,000.00
I want to have a macro that will paste the most recent "Due date" based on a zero value in the "Remng Payment" column. For this example, the most recent "Due Date" should be 12/31/08 because that is the most recent zero value.
I want to past this value in another worksheet that contains a report for all 20 deals. Lets call this the "Reports" worksheet. Each of these dates individual deals needs to be applied to its respective row on the "Reports" worksheet in a "Paid to Date column.

I want to establish a link from my worksheets. Using the conventional link method I was able to link the values from my first worksheet to the second worksheet. My problem is when I delete a particular row. The reference of the second worksheet will have an error #REF! since I deleted those cells. Is there any way that I can link my two worksheets without any error that even if I deleted a particular cell/row the reference is still intact?

I'm working on a workbook to track staffing patterns. I have two userforms included in my workbook. The first userform (userForm2) initiates upon opening the workbook. It's intended to allow the user to enter a date range and an office location for the report. The second userform (userform1) initiates when a command button (Weekly Summary) is clicked. I've linked texts boxes in userForm2 to cells in a hidden worksheet; this is where I'm holding the dates and office location until userform1 is initiated. I also have labels in userform1 linked to the same cells in the hidden worksheet so that when userform1 is initiated the office and date range appear at the top of userform1.
Here's the problem, when I click command button "Weekly Summary" the office location shows up perfectly however, the labels I have linked to cells in the hidden worksheet that contain dates do not update (i.e. they show the dates that were previously in those specific cells. I have to close userform1 and re-open it to get the dates to update.
I need the user to be able to choose a date range and office location when they enter the workbook. Then, I need userform1 to show the date range and office location (without having to open it, close it and re-open it) that the user chose on opening the workbook.

I have 2 drop down menus based on car make and model.
The first contains Make and the second contains the models of that make using the indirect function (All through data validation (this may be my problem))
Now what I'm wanting is that when the Make changes, the Model will automatically changes to either the top (or any really) model from the list for that make or to change to blank. So can this be done without VBA?

I currently have three worksheets and I'm trying to keep the data the identical throughout all three worksheets in cells B6-B9. I need to automatically update the same cell on the other two pages with the data from the edited one. Meaning if cell B7 is updated on sheet 2, that same data would be updated in cell B7 in the other two sheets, or if cell B9 is updated on sheet 3, that cells B9 on sheets one and two would have that same data.
