Macro To Ask User Which Tabs To Copy To New Workbook
Jul 16, 2014I have a worksheet that contains about six different tabs. When this form is completed some users might want to have certain tabs copied into a different workbook. Unfortunately each user might want to copy different tabs. I was wondering if there was a Macro that I could write that would ask the users which tabs they want to copy into a new workbook.

How To Hide Tabs And Make Them Appear After Specific User Input
Jul 10, 2014I have nearly finished my project, but need to make the last real bit of code, then just some general tidying up.
What I want to do
- I currently have two tabs in a userform - one called 'main' and one called 'extra'.
- I want Main to always be shown to the user.
- I want Extra to be hidden (is it possible to make the tabs invisible?) and for this form to be shown only under a specific condition
I have a question on my userform (using Option Buttons):
"Did the customer ask about an extra product today?"
If the answer to this question is no - When the user hits the command button (after filling out the rest of the form), do nothing special - just return all the values to the worksheet
If the answer is yes - When the user hits the command button, I want them to be taken to the 'extra' tab. They will fill out some additional check-boxes, then hit another command box, which will return the info from both the 'main' and 'extra' sheets into the same row of the worksheet.
In brief: I want my 'extra' tab to be hidden, only to appear when 'yes' is selected, and for the results all to go back to the worksheet.
Order Columns & Tabs Based On User Input
Jan 9, 2009How would I reorder columns & tabs based on a form where the user can put them into order that they would like the columns? I forsee some type of form where the user can dsignate the order and then start a macro that will sort both the columns and tabs.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMacro - Rename Only & Sheet... & Tabs With Last 8 Characters From Cell
Nov 5, 2009I pull an excel sheet from a database each day that gives me sales data for different products sold. The way the spreadsheet comes from the system, the first tab is named "Document Map" and lists all of the products, and each product then has its own tab but they're generically named (Sheet1, Sheet2, etc.). The name of the product is always in cell T8, but the name itself is only the last 8 characters of that cell.
What I'm hoping to accomplish with a macro is two things:
1) Retrieve the last 8 characters from T8 in each tab, and name the tab with those characters (same effect as the formula "=right(T8,8)").
2) Ensure that this only occurs on tabs with the word "Sheet" in the beginning. Depending on the day, there could be any number of products and they each get their own tab, so I was hoping to be able to get the macro to only work on sheets where the first 5 characters are "Sheet" regardless of the number after that.
Pause Macro And Wait For User To Click On Cell To Resume Macro?
Jan 15, 2014I have a macro where I manually select a cell then the macro kicks in to copy and paste the contents into the Find function. From there it goes to another work sheet, clicks on a cell in column one and searches for matching cell contents. Then If false it manually goes back to the original worksheet/cell and then I input a N in the left adjacent cell. If true I enter a Y. Right now I can only run this for the specific cell the macro was recorded for. I would like to expand this.
What I would like to do create a loop in the macro that waits for my cell choice input then continues with the with the Find function. If false the macro should just loop back to the original worksheet/cell and wait for input, ie the next cell selected. However, if true a worksheet/cell is selected, a Y is input and it loops back to the original cell and waits for input.
Macro Works Stepping Through But Not When Run On Its Own?
Jul 21, 2014I have a very simple macro that copies data from one worksheet to the other. This macro worked fine in Excel 2007. I have since migrated to to 2013. The newly arisen problem is that when I run the macro, the data is not copied to the 'Previous Part Data' worksheet. However, if I step through the code line by line, it works fine.
Here is the code:
VB:
Sheets("Current Part Data").Select 'Select the 'Current Part Data' worksheet
'Copy the data to the 'Previous Part Data' worksheet then clear the data
Range("A4:V" & CurrentPartDataFinalRow).Copy
[Code]....
I have two questions:
1. Why did this work in 2007 and not in 2013?
2. Is there something I can do to get rid of the sheet selection statements to avoid cluttering my code?

Macro To Link Cell To Sheet & Cell Stated By User

Macro That Doesnt Work In 07 But Works In 03
Oct 28, 2008I've been searching around here to see if anyone had an answer about codes and macro changes from 03 to 07. The closest thing I found was something about lists being tables and such. However, I am still unsure of what the issue might be in my case.

So here, the red text is what gets flagged when you run the macro. I seem to be getting a Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range error.
I am not exactly sure what the macro does besides clean up and sort a portion of a worksheet. Also, there is not worksheet called "List1," but changing that value does nothing. Is there an equivalent command to those highlighted in red? Or, perhaps if anyone knows of a place where I may reference these commands myself, that would be great as well.
Autofilter Macro Works On One Column, But Not The Other
Jul 7, 2006I'm using Excel to map automotive parts to vehicle applications (two different spreadsheets) for importation into a relational Access database. Production dates for parts rarely match the on-sale dates of the cars, so I've set up a macro that:
1. copies the start production date for a part record into the vehicle workbook at the top of the 'discontinued' column,
2. copies the end production date for the part into the vehicle workbook at the top of the 'release' column,
3. uses these pasted data points as criteria for the autofilter in the vehicle workbook as 'vehicle release date' < 'part end production date' and 'vehicle discontinued date' > 'part start production date'.
I find that the macro works perfectly in the autofilter for the vehicle discontinued date, but not for filtering the vehicle release date. The date is copied and pasted OK. When I check the custom filter dialogue box, the date has been entered in with the 'is less than' menu item selected, but it doesn't bring up any records unless you click on the 'OK' button once the dialogue box is open. I want to run the macro without having to run the autofilter manually at all. To troubleshoot the issue, I broke up the macro into two separate macros, one for release and the other for discontinued. Problem remains, even though the only difference between the two macros is the relative cell addresses. I've checked formatting of the cells for text vs. numeric and that doesn't appear to be a problem.
After Printing, The Macro Works Very Slow
Apr 5, 2007I programmed a simple macro (attached to a button) that scan the lines in the sheet and uses the function: Cells(y,2).EntireRow.Hide=TRUE (in order to hide certain lines). Usually, It runs fast without problem. But when I print out an area of the sheet, it cause the macro to slow down substantially. (when it runs again). In order to fix that , I had to close the file and reopen it again ( and not print out)

Jul 30, 2014 I created three macros to work with reporting for my company.
One sorts a field, another deletes unwanted columns, and the third double checks columns for answers--I work for a telecom polling firm.
It was working last week on my computer, and it still works on another computer at the office. However, I keep getting an error message when I try to run it.
The message is "Compile Error: Expected Function or Variable". The code is below, and bolded where it breaks down.

What could be the rationale for the sudden breakdown? I was testing it on a file that I have tested with before without issue. I also tried a second file, and even restarted my computer. I am currently trying to write a fourth macro for counting responses and giving percentages, so while I don't need to have the perfectly cleaned data to do so it would be nice to have.
Countif Function In A Macro: SUM And COUNTA Works
Jan 27, 2009I'm using the SUM, COUNTA and COUNTIF functions in a macro. The SUM and COUNTA works but the COUNTIF function does not return results.
Sub B_Test()
Dim myRange
Dim Results
Dim Run As Long
myRange = Workbooks(1).Worksheets("Master").Range("S6", Range("S6").End(xlDown))
Range("M3") = Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(myRange)
myRange = Workbooks(1).Worksheets("Master").Range("D6", Range("D6").End(xlDown))
Range("D3") = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(myRange)
End Sub
I have tried countless ways to rewrite the COUNTIF line with no results or compiler errors returned. Originally had problems with the SUM and COUNTIF function and found that column formating was the problem. After clearing all column formats, the SUM function promptly began working but the COUNTIF keeps eluding all my efforts. The column which the COUNTIF is pointed to contains values of 0 to 500. Only values greater than 0 are to be counted.
Save As Date Macro Works But Not On Mondays
Jun 5, 2013I created a report that runs each weekday morning, using data from the previous workday.
I have written code that saves the file into a LAN directory as "BEST CASH MM-DD-YYYY" with the variables being the previous day's date.
My problems is that when I run the report on Monday morning using Friday's data, of course it's including Sunday's date and not that previous Friday...
Here's the test code I'm working with right now; I'm using a folder on my desktop until I get the code right, then I'll change it to the proper LAN directory:
ChDir "C:UsersC700MDesktopTEST"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= "C:UsersC700MDesktopTEST" & "BEST CASH " & Format(Date - 1, "mm-dd-yyyy"), FileFormat:= xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False

Pause Macro To Allow User To Select A Cell?
Aug 15, 2014I am wanting to pause a macro to allow a user to select a cell and when the user hits enter the macro starts running again. My intention is that a user would select cell B5 or B8 or B55 and then hit enter and the cell would move 6 cells right and enter a value from the macro. The following is what I have tried and even though it allows to select a cell, it doesn't make that cell the active cell.

Allow User To Edit Cell Contents Within Macro
Feb 4, 2014I need to query a column and find the cells that have been incorrectly coded. For example the coding standard is #<reference number>/. Sometimes people forget the "/". It is not as easy as using search and replace because the string may have more contents than the above.
For example it may show: ATM/45678/#789876 dt. 1-2-14/ or it something like CHQ/44384/#78987600.
There are many permutations. So I need to find the cells that don't have a "/" following the #<reference number>, then allow a user to enter the slash. At this stage, I don't need code to find cells containing errors, I think I can figure that out. I do need to know how to allow the user to edit the cell as part of the macro. Once the user corrects the error, the macro should then continue. Is this possible?

Oct 8, 2009In Excel 2007 I am creating a macro with the "relative references" setting turned on. I want to repeat some tasks like: go to column A, sort, hide columns B thru F, hide columns H & I, return to column A.
Every time I try to create this macro by capturing key strokes, it inserts the workbook / worksheet name in the macro! Kinda defeats the ability to use it in any other workbook.
I am recording the macro in the PERSONAL.XLSX workbook. I have other macros that successfully perform in any workbook they are used in . . . but today I can't create one that doesn't incorporate the name of the original sheet it was recorded in.
Script Works In Debugger But Doesn't When Macro Runs
Dec 1, 2009I am trying to do a very simple Macro for merging data. My problem is that the macro works when I am stepping through in debugger, but does not work when I am in excel and I use the shortcut key (crtl + m) to run the macro. What happens when it doesn't work properly is it selects rows 2 and 3 and tries to paste them to the new workbook and I get an error saying the cells are not the correct type. I don't want it to do this because rows 2 and 3 are titles and have nothing to do with the data I am moving. As I said before, when I open VBE and step through the code it works just fine. The error only happens when there is no data on the initial work sheet.

Macro Works Unless Change Font Size In Document?
Jul 7, 2014I have this macro that works perfectly. My boss wanted the subtotal lines within the report to be in a smaller font, so I added lines to the macro to do that. It won't work with those lines in there! It says the reference is not valid on the red line in the code below. The 2 blue sections are the ones I added to change the font size.
Code:
'Add subtotals at the end of each age bucket
For i = 10 To LR Step 1
fr = Range("E" & i - 3).End(xlUp).Row
If Range("B" & i).Value = "Totals" Then
Range("E" & i).Formula = "=SUBTOTAL(9,E" & fr & ":E" & i - 2 & ")"
With Range("E" & i & ":R" & i).FillRight

Why would the font size make a difference? Is there some other way to change the font size that would work better?
Paste Special As Values Macro Only Works Intermittently
Feb 23, 2008I often need to use Paste Special... Values, using Excel 2003. So I recorded a Macro into "Personal.xls" and assigned a shortcut key combination "CTRL-Shift-V" so that it would always be available. I first select one or more cells and hit CTRL-C to copy to clipboard, click on another cell, then hit CTRL-Shift-V to run the following macro: Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
It often works . . . and it often fails. When it is working it seems to keep working over and over. When it is failing it keeps failing. So it is almost as if there are two "modes" of operation, which for lack of terms, for this post I will coin the terms "fail mode" and "fixed mode". Once I am in one of the two modes, it stays there for a while. When it is in the "fail mode", I always get the dreaded: Run-time error 1004: "Pastespecial method of Range class failed".
Since this problem is very intermittent, I believe this is why there are so many posts in the Internet about this, and so many people are replying back "it works fine for me". I have seen many solutions offered but none work so far for just a simple shortcut key to do a PasteSpecial :Values. Some solutions "work" . . . such as adding the PasteSpecial button to the Toolbar, or pressing ALT-E-S-V <Enter> - but both of these bring up the Paste Special dialog box which I want to avoid. I spent days trying the many solutions offered but so far all I have found is a trick to convert Excel from "fail mode" to "fixed mode". The trick is to add a line to the macro to first do a "Paste Special: Format:
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

Macro Code Only Works If Specific Worksheet Active

I have some code that works perfectly when it is run from the VB Editor but when I put it behind a command button it gives me an error almost straight away. I have read that when a command button is used the command button defaults the active sheet to the one that it is one therefore you always have to specify the active sheet but I have done this so am still confused as to why it is falling over. Below is my code, I have commented where it is tripping:
