New To Macros - How Do I Create And Run One
May 18, 2007
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 have a couple spreadsheets which update using a RTD link. I then use Macros to sort it and publish a html file every 30 seconds.
I found the html macro thanks to : http://www.meadinkent.co.uk/xlhtmltable.htm
The problem is that whenever I run two sheets together, the macro that creates the html file at times gets the data off the wrong worksheet. Sometimes I only see one sheet's data being used, sometimes the other.
Both html files when published have some feature from one macro and some from the other macro. Like macro one sheet says use 1528 rows and the title for page is Relative Strength Over 750K. Other macro says use 979 rows and title for page is Relative Strength Under 750K. I would have both the sheets as like 1528 rows for with title Relative Strength Under 750K.
If I run one sheet at a time, everything works fine.
Here are the Macro codes for Sheet #1:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Application.OnTime dTime, "Macro1", , False
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:30"), "Macro1"
End Sub
Module 1
Public dTime As Date
Sub Macro1()
dTime = Now + TimeValue("00:00:30")
Application.OnTime dTime, "Macro1"
Columns("P:AH").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("AG1"), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
Application.ScreenUpdating = True........................................................

I am trying to use a macro to copy a set of cells.
I have successfuly created a macro - the problem is I would like the column reference to be absolute but the row reference to be relative. I can have one or the other but not mixed it seems.
If I have not explained myself well, perhaps this may help - I need to copy cells $J1:$S1 and paste them to $L1:$U1
Currently the macros works if the cursor is in cell J1 when I activate the macro but if I move the cursor to any other cell it copies and pastes the wrong set of cells.

I have 2 workbookts: 1) Product; and 2) Buyers.
1) In the Products worksheet, every column has data about the books' description like:
A | B | C | D | E
Serial | Desc. | Author | Pubd. | year
Column A contains serial no. of the books, ordered from 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 to .....so on...
Columns B,C,D and E, have other details of the books.
2) In the Buyers worksheet, there are two columns;
A | B
Serial | Buyer Info
These are the details people who bought the particular book order by the serial no. of the book purchased.
Required
I need to make a new column in the first worksheet i.e. Product, say F, which I want to read all the buyers' info of that purchase the book with that serial no. and concatenate them together in the same cell separated by a comma.

So I'm trying my hand at creating VBA buttons and functions that do the following.
Button 1 :
to add a column with every click. The button will create one extra column. So by design there will be at least 1 column. Example if the button is clicked twice it will create 3 columns. I just need a buffer col. (contains no data)
Button 2 :
to delete empty columns leaving only one empty buffer column. That is this button will purge empty columns except the buffer column. OR if ALL the columns are filled, Button2 will create the buffer column.
Eg. I click Button 1 three times. It creates four columns. I only fill two columns. When Button 2 is clicked it will delete all the empty colums except the buffer column. OR I fill in all four columns, there is no buffer column, when I click Button2 it will insert the buffer col.
Button 3 :
to add a row with every click. The button will create one extra row. So by design there will be at least 1 row. Example if the button is clicked twice it will create 3 rows. I just need a buffer row. (contains no data)
Button 4 :
to delete empty row leaving only one empty buffer row. That is this button will purge empty row except the buffer row. OR if ALL the columns are filled, Button4 will create the buffer column.
Eg. I click Button 3 three times. It creates four rows. I only fill two rows. When Button 4 is clicked it will delete all the empty rows except the buffer rows. OR I fill in all four rows, there is no buffer rows, when I click Button4 it will insert the buffer row.
In the sample file there are six columns filled with data. The 7th col is empty(the buffer column). The column after that calculates the average of data in filled columns. There are eight rows with data and the ninth row is the empty buffer row.
The "add" buttons must be able copy the format/formula of the column/rows BEFORE the buffer colums/rows and insert it before the buffer column/row.

Is it possible to use design mode to create a button for multiples macros?
What i want to do is create like a list, and every selection run a different macro. I have a report that i want to use macro to make different filter selections, it would be about 20 different filters combination, so 20 buttons would be a mess... Is that possible or can i do it in another way?
And is possible to link the filter value to a different cell?

"How to create a 'main' macro to control other macros within a workbook". I have my individual macros created. There's one macro for each sheet that searches online data and returns the information. I have one of these per sheet (a total of 20 sheets) since I couldn't find a way to have all 20 macros be on one sheet and still work. My trouble is that whenever I'm on my 'main' sheet and try to run the macro which applies to a 'secondary' sheet, I get an error. I have to select the sheet first, then run the macro and it works. Below is the macro on each sheet.
VB:
Sub Holding1()
Dim DataSheet As Worksheet
Dim EndDate As Date [code].....

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.

I 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?

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.

I 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 need to create a macro that can create a dynamic copy/paste loop. So far what I have is horribly inefficient. Each row in colmn A(minus the header) has a unique number in it. For each unique number, I need to paste it based on the number of column headers in row 1(minus column A). So, if there are 20 column headers, I need to copy cell A2 and paste it 19 times in another sheet. Then, I need to move to the next number in column A and do the same thing. Here's what I have:
[Code] .........
You can see that this is not dynamic. If I add another row to my table and rerun the macro, it will not catch it. I've attached a sample file to show you the big picture of what I'm trying to do. The data that I have is in Sheet1, and I'm trying to get it into the format in Sheet3. Rows/columns will be periodically added to the table in Sheet1, so the macro needs to be dynamic to catch that. The data in Sheet3 will always remain, and the macro will add the updated data below the old data in Sheet3.

Trying to create an excel chart to create totals based upon different keys. I
need to be able to calculate how many customers there are by Manager and then
By Rep. Then to figure out how many were New, Current, Total # of RSVP and
attended for that Rep. Below is how I have started but I am having some
problems getting certain parts. I know when I get one the rest will fall into
place. I can calculate how many total customers by manager and by rep just by
doing a Countif command but how do I determine the # of New, Current etc. Is
there a If Than command? Managers Totals are simply his reps totals.
Example..
A B C D E
F G
1 Manager Rep Customer New Biz Current # RSVP # Actual Attend
Need totals to look something like this....
A B C D E
F G
1 # of Cust # New # Current #RSVP #
Actual Attend
2 Manager
3 Rep 1
4 Rep 2

I 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 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'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.

I 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 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 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
