I'm writing some code that analises data and I have been adviced that it is good practice to minimise the function .Select in macros, especially when i'm just copying and pasting stuff. (as .select will make the screen jump from one sheet to the other and back etc. but how do I minimise .Select in this example:
View 4 Repliesi'm trying to put together a spreadsheet using excel 97 that uses forms for data input & display - the spreadsheet itself is used solely for data storage & no editing is done directly to ensure people aren't trying to mess about with the spreadsheet i thought it would be an idea to minimise excel when the spreadsheet is launched & have the forms pop up on screen instead. the problem i've got is getting the first form on screen whilst excel is minimised
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
frmSplash.Show
Application.WindowState = xlMinimized
End Sub
the spreadsheet launches, the splash screen launches, but excel doesn't minimise
if i use
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.WindowState = xlMinimized
frmSplash.Show
End Sub
the spreadsheet minimises, but the form doesn't display - the excel taskbar button flashes to indicate something is going on clicking the taskbar button brings up the form & keeps excel minimised....but the staff who will be using this won't be happy with this at all!!!
Can someone please help? I am very new to vba but I have managed to write code ( multiple subs strung together with Call statements) for about 25 sheets in this one workbook. Each sheet has a command button that initiates the data maipulation that I want to accomplish on that particular sheet. It all works very well when I go to each sheet and click on the command button.
Now I want to make all of these processes run from one command button on the first sheet. All of the subs on every sheet now have unique names because I anticipated wanting to string them all together and run them from one command button. I guess you call this a module for the entire workbook, but I am still struggling with the terminalogy of all this programming, so don't know for sure.
I added the code from the second sheet/command button to the end of the code from the first sheet/command button and joined them with a Call statement. Figured I would go about this sistematically, sheet by sheet. Instantly, I got an error message " Activate method of range class failed" when I ran it. At the start of the added code, I had added something like Worksheets("Sheet2").Activate figuring that I needed to activate that worksheet in order to make the rest of the code work. That is where I got the error.
Sorry for the long winded explanation. Can someone tell me what I need to add/do in order for the code to run without error as I string together all the pieces from each sheet?
I have an Excel 2003 program that contains macros. One of the macros hides certain command bars and disables the worksheet menu bar. On close the opposite is true. The problem is, if a user uses the disable macros when opening then the worksheet menu bar and other command bars are still available. I would like to hide all of the data sheets and display another sheet that would normally be hidden displaying a message that the macros have to be enabled for the program to work correctly if disable macros is chosen. When the enable macros are used I would like the Error page to be hidden.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a user that keeps a maintenance log in an Excel worksheet and sends an updated copy once a week to a board member. Two weeks ago, the board member started complaining that he was prompted to enable/disable macros on opening and became worried when my user stated that no macros were used in the book. He is now concerned that we have sent him a virus.
I know the file is clean because I've scanned it, and when I look at the file in VB, there are no modules or classes present just the Sheets 1-3 and the ThisWorkbook file. None of these objects have any code in them. My user does have some macros in PERSONAL.XLS but they are not used in the workbook in question.
No one else gets the prompt for enabling/disabling macros. Even if I set my security to prompt for any macros, I get no message. I'm convinced that there must be some setting in his Excel that is causing this individual to get this message. Is there anything else other than a macro that would cause this?
What is the commands or script for deleting a macro automatically using
another workbook macro.
Is there a way to hide a macro from the list where you choose which to run, but not in the VBA editor? The userbox I just created calls upon 2 different macros, and has a macro to bring up the userbox. I need a way to hide the macros in Module3 from selection, but keep the macros in Module4 available to choose to run.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two macros. Macros 1 opens another excel file, counts the number of rows it has, inserts that number of rows into the master file and then copies the data over. Key code as follows (x3 for 3 worksheets)...
For k = 1 To numrows
Selection.EntireRow.Insert
Next k
Macros 2 'cleans' the appended data by systematically going through each row, checking if certain cells have data, and if not deletes the rows. Key code as follows (x3 for 3 worksheets)...
For l = lastrow To 12 Step -1
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("B" & l & ":C" & l)) = 0 Then
Rows(l & ":" & l).Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
edelrows = edelrows + 1
End If
Next l
Here's the weirdness. macros 1 runs fairly quick the first time out (few seconds). Macros 2 takes about 2 minutes to run (which I'm fine with). However, when I run macros 1 AFTER running Macros 2, Macros 1 goes from taking a few seconds to a few minutes.
how to use excel 4 macros. I do not even know where to put them. I have inherited some spreadsheets that have both Xcel 4 Macros and vba macros in them. (Well, I get a warning that I cannot switch them off when I disable macros on opening a workbook). I cannot even find the offending version 4 macros so that I can re-code them in VBA.
I have a multiselect listbox with values that gets populated from a sql statement, and I would like to get is the first or second index from the selected item. I know how to get the listindex from a combobox by using:
VB:
cbnumber.List(.ListIndex, 0)
How can I loop through and get the 1st index number for the selected items only from the listbox? I want to pass this index number to another sql statement.
I want to put a range select statement to select a cell and count down 10 cells and copy.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a command button on sheet MASTER. When the workbook is Activated I want it to check and see if in sheet COSTM, cell B3 there are the words "Project Number", if so then show command button (ClearPrevious), if not, don't show. Also, when the If statement is finished, then the workbook needs to end up showing the sheet MASTER. I have tried various codes and none work, or they are on perpetual loops. I know this has got to be simple, but cannot find an example to take from to solve the issue. Would appreciate any help offered. Below is code I have right now.
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()

Me.ClearPrevious.Visible = True
Else
Me.ClearPrevious.Visible = False

I need to get a macro to select all the data in column "A", sort it in ascending order, omit the blanks if any, then select (highlight) all the data so that another macro can be run.
When I record it, it will only record up to the last row I highlight but the data always changes so there could be more or less.
I have column A with various values in cells.
For instance, DG, GS, HG etc
I wanna do if a cell in column A is equal to DG then select the entire row that contains the cell. then call other sub.

how do I install a macro from my laptop to another?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'd like to be able to just open the spreadsheet up and have the macros already saved in there. Is there a way to save these macros?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently volunteering for a small organisation. I have spent the last week designing a userform to be used by other staff members in their office. However, when I asked the manager 'Do you have Microsoft Office?', I got a very firm and definite 'yes' in response.
It turns out they are using LibreOffice, which is a free alternative. I have also tried to get my userform to work with Open Office - but cannot seem to get either to work.
I have changed the settings in both suites of software to 'Load/Save Basic Code' and enabled macros to run via the security options.
My userform is not that complex. I have limited knowledge of VBA and zero experience using Basic, so have come up stuck.
I need to write a macro whereby it queries a cell and if there is any value (it will be either blank or contain characters) in the cell a new row is to be inserted directly above the cell.
i have a matrix with all possible values.
i need to develop a macro, which will change the color of the cell according to the value of the cell.
for example if a specific cell in the matrix has a negative value then the macro should change the color of the cell to blue. if its value is positive then the macro should change the color of the respective cell to red.
I have an API that continuously gets stock price. The price appears in one cell at all times - let's call it A1
I want to record the value in a different cell every time it changes, so I can analyze the data.
so A1 = 15
B1 = 15
little later
A1 = 15.2
B2 = 15.2
I did some googling and came to a conclusion that I needed to write a macro.
I see that there is a function or event called Worksheet_Calculate()
Apparently it is supposed to do whatever when a value changes (per calculation)
How do I write a macro, and then execute it?
I've created an Add-in (.xlam file) in Excel 2007 and installed and activated it (it shows up under "Active Application Add-ins" on the Add-in menu for new workbooks).
I can see the macros and code when I go to the VBA editor, but the macros don't show up in the regular macro list.
I know that I can write code for the new workbook that will reference the Add-in code, but I want other users to be able to install the add-in and run the macros in it right away without any knowledge of VBA. Is there a way to make this possible?
I have created a excel spread sheet to be set up like a schedule, including multiple macros through the sheet, when I started it put the macros into "Module 1", now if I wanted to use this same worksheet and copy it and create multiple sheets in one file via the tabs does it make a difference where the macros reside? if it remains in "Module 1" it will only be in one spot will this create problems later on or should the each reside in the sheet objects.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet which I used in a previous job, which was set up by our old IT Department. Basically, it allows me to save information onto it, which I can then retrieve, (in any conditions/search fields i.e. in a date range etc) but the problem is; when I try to use it on my laptop, I look at the editor used for macros, I can see that the spreadsheet is linked to the servers of my old company. Therefore, I cannot use it myself
I do not know a lot about macros etc. but I can send a copy of the spreadsheet to anybody who is willing to help!
I think it is just a case of changing the macros/strings of where to draw and save information to/from, but I don;t know.
I have some text in $a$1.
In Column B I have all kinds of stuff, including the text in $a$1.
How do I find and select the matching cell in Column B?
I probably have a odd request, but then I think I'm just different ?
I have an Excel Workbook with Col. A approximately 1/8" wide. The formatting of this col is that the cells are set to have the typing fit into the cell, therefore it becomes so small that no one can read it. Just what I wanted. If the user needs to read what's in the cell, they can click on the cell and read it in the formula bar.
Col. B is approximately 2" wide
1st, the user enters the Path and File name, with extension, into cell A34(example).
2nd, the user types in a File Name that they will best understand into cell B34.
The Workbook is now saved.
When the user wants to open that file, they click on the Name . . . Col B34 - Easily recognized by the user.
They then click either the Button that say's "Open Excel File" -or- "Open Word File.
The macro automatically moves the selection over to column A, then the file is opened.
Now what I need
I want to use just 1 button and I will name it "OPEN"
The 2 below macros work excellant and I still need the functionality of each. What I want is that 1st it trys to see if it is an excel file and if so, opens the file and stops.
If the macro determines that it is not an Excel file, the macro then goes to the Word macro and determines if it really is a Word file and if so, opens the file and stops.
NOTE: I want to point out that I still need all the checking etc that the 2 macros currently do.
Here are the macros
OPEN EXCEL FILE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I created a Macro to do some copying and pasting. Can I restrict that Macro so that it can only be used from my PC?
