View 12 Replies View RelatedI am trying to come up with a macro that is able to open a .htm file in Excel, perform a set of code, close the file, then repeat the process with the next .htm file in the folder. I found the following post which has helped me thus far, but there is something that is not allowing Excel to open the .htm files even though there is no problem opening them in Excel manually or with another macro I've made. Here is the link to the set of code I'm currently working with:

I'm having an issue with a worksheet that I created. Apparently, every time that I go to open it, it gives me a Grey blank screen. Yet, I know the worksheet is behind this Grey screen. I went to full screen and I can see the work sheet in full view, but it always opens in this Grey screen. I'm not sure why its doing this, no other worksheets open in this matter. I have tried reinstalling excel and it still didn't fix this problem. But it is only happening with one particular worksheet. I'm sure it is just a setting that I might have changed, but I can't figure it out. The file isn't corrupt because the macros still work, I tested them.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem to use the macro for opening a specific worksheet in a workbook. My plan to setup the workbook to open the first worksheet no matter which worksheet that was last saved and close.
What i have in mind is like below macros but it is not working.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Main").Activate
End Sub
Attached is the sample for the workbook. Test file.xlsm‎
Anyone who opens my sheet, has to feed his/her name which will be appeared in a particular cell.I am using the below code.

I have the following code, which I use to open up a .xls file generated from Crystal Reports:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim fexport1 As String ' variables for the exported file
Dim fexport2 As String
Dim wb1 As String 'variables to change between the opened workbooks
Dim wb2 As String
strTemp = "Please Choose The Exported File"
MsgBox strTemp
fexport1 = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls)")
If InStr(fexport1, "False") = 0 Then
Workbooks.Open fexport1
wb1 = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Else
strTemp = "Operation Canceled"
End If
The problem is that Crystal Reports generates the file with an invalid worksheet name (it contains a backslash) and I do not have access to modify the Crystal Report. Althought the file can be automatically repaired by Excel when manually opened, the macro chokes and the "Application.DisplayAlerts = False" does not fix it. The only solution I can think of is renaming the worksheet without opening the file.
if you open a workbook & choose not to enable macros, is there any way to later change your mind & set macros to enabled without having to close & reopen the workbook?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have software that exports to an excel file. The files are one or two page reports. The way the software dumps the reports into excel, it comes out looking pretty rough. The rows and columns aren't spaced very well, the fonts look like garbage, and nobody likes them.
I would like to apply formatting changes to these reports automatically without the end user having to do anything. So as soon as the document is opened up it bolds the column headers, adjusts column widths etc. The reports are auto generated so no formatting can be done when the reports are made.
There may also be different formatting done to different reports. The files will come out named something like, "Report_A_DDMMYYY.xls, Report_B_DDMMYYY.xls," etc. Report A, and Report B will likely need different formatting.
I'm not opposed to using VBA or whatever might be necessary to make this happen. I can learn anything I need to pretty quickly, I just don't know where to start with this.
I have a workbook that contains worksheets whose sheetnames are specific to each day of the month ie: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th, and so on up to 31st. I am trying to write an workbook open procedure to check the day of the month and match it to the relevant worksheet so it will open to that day. for example if opened today being the 25th, i want the code to unhide sheet named 25th and select it, whilst all other sheets bar one is hidden.

My workbook has a worksheet for reports of sales by each sales person (which I had hoped to send by email). CDO didn't work because I have win7 and no flavors of Outlook and ShellExecute worked but truncated any sales beyond the first dozen. So.... My NEXT plan is to include a SAVEAS pdf for that report worksheet (with 12 or more reccords) using the salesperson's name and saving them all in a reports folder. Then I will go back and manually send those reports as attachments.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an excel 2007 worksheet named "Invoice" that I would like to be able to navigate with using a command button that will open a separate File Folder or sub folder called "Report" that stores all my reports in for viewing.
My excel worksheet named "Invoice" and File Folder or sub folder named "Report" are located in the same sub folder that is named “Marketing Report”.
This report will be used on different computers and I’m sure different location / Path on their computer.

I also tried to record a macro but would not record going to file folder.
I have a macro that currently saves and prints the sheet I'm working on. At the moment, it saves everything in the same place and always calls the file the same name.
In the worksheet, a lookup does actually specify what folder it should be saved in and what name it should be given. How can I write the code so that it pulls up the name and the folder directly from the sheet it's saving?
I am using excel 2007 and I’m trying to open a file folder from a worksheet using a control button. They are both in same file folder. I’ve have tried

I have a folder containing many Excel files. Each is unique, and I wish to characterise them in a separate contents file in Excel. To do so, it would be very useful to populate a worksheet with the names of the files in the folder.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with two worksheets, "Main" and "Control".
Both of them are with hidden tabs (unchecked "show sheet tabs").
On worksheet "Main" I have command button which opens worksheet "Control".
The assigned makro is: Sheets("Control").Select
The problem is: when I open "Control" and close after that the workbook, the next time when I open the workbook "Control" pops-up instead of "Main" even though I do not save it.
1. I need macro on "Main" which will allow me to open "Control".
2. Regardless I "Save" or "Don't Save" "Control" when selected and workbook is closed, to open the workbook always displaying worksheet "Main".
I use Excel 2007 (at home) & 2010 (at office).

When they click on a command button at the end it puts all that information on a sheet i made and then we print it off. My objective is when it saves it to the sheet it also save a copy of that paticular sheet in a seperate location such as H:/applications. Also the copy should be renamed to the information thats in a specific cell Such as j4 the have this text added after that "Application"..
