Read Time Formatted Cell In VBA Macro
Mar 14, 2009I've written a script to read all the values in an excel worksheet in to an array. The cell types differ from General or Text to Custom - HH:MM When I look through the array the script has returned the correct value for most but for the cells that are of a custom type an "incorrect" value has been returned. For example a cell of type Custom HH:MM which is 10:23:00 in the worksheet appears as 0.432638888888889 in the array. Is there a way to get the script to return the correct value?
Below is an extract of the code I've used
If objWorksheet.Cells(i, "D") <> "" Then
If objWorksheet.Cells(i, "F") <> "" Then
arrCULDEV = Split(objWorksheet.Cells(i, "F"), ":")
Redim Preserve arrSheetInfo(x)
arrSheetInfo(x) = arrCULDEV(0) & "," & arrCULDEV(1)
x = x + 1
i = i + 1
Else
i = i + 1
End If
End If

Using A Macro To Comment And Uncomment Code
Jul 28, 2006I know that there is a way to delete macros in a file using another macro in order to save the file as a macro-free copy. I was wondering though if there is a way to comment and uncomment code using a macro, as well. The reason I need to do this is that I have a module that builds Excel files for me using a template, but that template has to have certain lines of code commented first in order for the module to run correctly. After the module is done building the file, I must uncomment those lines manually and was wondering if there is an automatic way to do this.

Jan 4, 2007I'm trying to open a file on a network drive...but I'm getting the following error message when it opens: "This file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding." Now, the file itself has no rights restrictions and is not read only. It doesn't appear to be locked.
Now, there are other Excel files in the same directory which I could open fine; however, the Excel documents having the above problem all have a little black icon "appears to be a padlock" (image attached) at the bottom left hand side of the Excel file icon. I tried the following:
- Renaming
- Converting to a different file format (didn't work, it won't let me)
- Opening in notepad...etc doesn't work.
This file is dated back in 2004...do you think it's corrupt? Is there anything i can do to open or recover this?

May 30, 2007I have been using various bits of information from all sorts of threads and made a somewhat nifty little Macro program for the company i work for.
The following threads may have my answer in them, but I can't see it or figure out how it could be restructured to my needs.
Disable Read-only Message Box
looks as if the file is set as readonly then to close it without saving
[url]
[url]
contains a msgbox I would like to add in, specifying that the file is read only therefore to abort current macro for particular file
concerns very much the problem I am having.
Basically what it boils down to is,
My Program Manager runs a daily report, then uses my program to update up to 7 different workbooks. Each having their own Sub program.
Some of the Supervisors or leads gets in to early and thus makes the file as a Read-Only, which of course stops my program and can not continue.
What I would like to learn is.. (from the countless threads I have looked through, I can't seem to find the answer)
Bring up a msgbox, informing the PM that a specified file is already open and therefore this particular process has been aborted.
Then it will move on to the next Sub, and so forth...
I want to thank everyone for their help directly or indirectly, (been reading threads for about 9 months now) and any future help as well.
And if it's not to difficult, could it be close to layman terms? I try to understand alot of these codes and I get lost with some of the wording. I am just pratically piecing pieces together with my "eyes closed" and somehow come out with a working VB codes.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoupdate Cell Comment Based On Cell Input / Dynamic Cell Comments?
Aug 16, 2013I'm wondering if it is at all possible to have a cell comment automatically update depending on what data is input in the cell (via user input, VLOOKUP, etc.)?
For example, if cell A1 contains the text "CHARLES" with a comment saying "Employee of the Month", and is then subsequently updated with the new text "JOHN" (again, via direct input, a VLOOKUP, data validation, etc.) is there a way to have the comment automatically update to say something else, such as "Team Lead" for example?
I've considered using VBA to accomplish my goal, but am unsure how to compose an effective code to do so. I've also considered perhaps creating a named table filled with all the different comment possibilities I would like to have used in this cell and then inputting a formula in either cell A1, or the comment contained therein, that would then call the corresponding text from that table based on the data in cell A1. Honestly, I'm not sure that what I'm trying to do is even possible;

Read A Date Rather Than A Line VBA Macro
Sep 30, 2009I have the following code which reads line 54 (row 54) in a spreadsheet and calculates the following using data in subsequent columns. Sometimes the data I need isn't always in row 54, I would rather have the macro read the data in Column A[AB] that is on line 54...sometimes on 53.
The date is Sep-09. How can I make it read this rather than AB54. I think I just need changes @ the top (ie Dim rng as Range, Set rng = [AB54]).

Set rng = [AB54]

Copy Comment To Designated Cells On Another Worksheet Using Macro
Nov 2, 2009I really appreciate help from the excel gurus and expert here on my little problem. I'm rarely using excel and have a very little knowledge on VBA programming.In short, I've been requested to develop a shift schedule for my department that can automate the shift staff schedule on the monthly basis.
I've created two worksheet of which the first worksheet is represent as master data list (INPUT Worksheet) that contain with formulas. While the other worksheet is the automated shift data (REPORT Worksheet) that linked from the master data list (INPUT Worksheet).
Attached herewith is a sample of my work. As you can see,I wanted to copy comments from the input worksheets (on DUTY column) so that it will then automatically appears or updated in the shift schedule. Whenever the dropdown selection change, the data will change accordingly. On the REPORT worksheet, each cells, range D14:AH38 are referring to DUTY column month by month. I'm able to link it but it fails to copy over the comments as well. I believe that macro can resolve this, can someone help me on this?
Macro To Make Insert Comment Window Appear Automatically
Sep 11, 2007I have created an attendance tracker for a team of people at work. It simply involves a grid of the days of the month and on each 'day' (or cell) I have set up the Validation command to prompt the the user to select whether they were at work, on holiday, off sick etc. etc from a drop down box. If they do not change the cell, its defaulted value is that they are in work.
When a user selects the days that they are planning a holiday in the future, they are meant to write a comment on the cells they have changed, to advise when they had 'requested' the holiday.
What I would like is (a macro?) which makes the comment box automatically 'pop up' when they change a cell from its default value prompting them to fill in the details rather than relying on them to 'add comments' manually.
In addition, what would be the best way to 'restrict' them from booking holiday within the next 7 days - we have a problem with people booking holiday on 'lastminute.com' for 2 days time, booking off the holiday on the spreadsheet and saying that they had it planned for weeks!
Macro To Access And Read Data From HDF Files?
Feb 16, 2013Does Excel can be used to read data from HDF files? Specifically, what I would like to do is this: I have an Excel worksheet with some latitude data on Column A and longitude data on Column B. I would like to open a HDF file, which contains many sets of data, out of which 2 are the latitude/longitude data, and a third set contains the data that I want to extract. I will use the latitude data in Column A to search through the first set in the HDF, which will return me the row number. I will then use the longitude data in Column B to search through the second set to return the column number. With these row and column numbers, I will then extract the corresponding data in the third set, and write it to Column C in the worksheet.
how to write a simple VBA code for it? Or point me to some relevant information?
Macro For Closing And Reopening A Workbook Read-only
Jul 21, 2009I have a pair of macros that together close and reopen a workbook when the user clicks on a button labelled 'Refresh'. The reason for the macros is that any one of multiple users may have the workbook open for editing while the others have it open read-only, and those who have it open read-only will want to refresh it periodically to make sure they're viewing the most up-to-date version.
Now, here's the hitch. If I have the workbook open read-only and refresh it while no-one else has it open for editing, it doesn't reopen read-only (it reopens for editing). But I don't want it to reopen for editing (I want it to reopen read-only). Is there anything I can add to the macros to make the workbook reopen read-only, or is there a different pair of macros I can use? Here's what I have at the moment:
Macro 1
Sub CloseMe()
'
Application.OnTime Now, "OpenMe"
ThisWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False
'
End Sub
Macro 2
Sub OpenMe()
'
End Sub
Macro To Read User Input For Sheet Locations
Jan 22, 2010I'm working with a workbook that has about 75 sheets. I need a macro that will copy the info in a certain couple of ranges from one sheet to the same ranges in another. This would not be a problem if it was always the same two sheets. But I need the user to be able to specify which sheet he wants to copy from and which sheet he wants to copy to.
The ranges on the sheets will always remain the same, just the sheet name needs to change. I created drop down boxes for the user to choose the copy from and copy to sheets, but I don't know how to insert that into the VBA code. The way I've designed it, the macro needs to read the result from the user that is on sheet "Index" in cell H5 to copy from and N5 to copy to. The result in those cells is the actual sheet name.
Here's the simple part of the code so far:
Sheets("MM Ades 64z").Select
Range("B8:B59").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("MM Pnch 64z").Select
Range("B8:B59").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Sheets("MM Ades 64z").Select
Range("D8:D59").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("MM Pnch 64z").Select
Range("D8:D59").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Sheets("MM Ades 64z").Select
Range("J8:O59").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("MM Pnch 64z").Select
Range("J8:O59").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Sheets("TMMC").Select
Range("M1").Select
End Sub
