Everytime I open Excel, the personal.xls file opens. What does one need to do to have the personal.xls file available as an option to save macros to, and have it open in the background only - not as an active file you can see?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that is designed to paste a row of formulas into each Subtotal line on a 30,000+ line spreadsheet. I have specified the formulas that I want to paste in the named range "formulas". The macro below worked fine for about 3000 lines, then threw the error Run-Time Error 1004: Paste Method of Worksheet Class Failed on teh line ActiveSheet.Paste. I thought it had just bogged down my computer, so I added teh ScreenUpdating and Calculation lines, but they made no difference. I also tried reducing the range to just a couple thousand lines, which also made no difference. I also have found some suggestions on this forum and others for this error.
In addition to it working fine for 3000 lines, then failing, there are a couple other weird things. One is that on the line in the spreadsheet that threw the error, the formulas were pasted in up to column AX, leaving columns AY through CR blank. The second odd thing is that this exact same macro still works on my sample data spreadsheet (which only has around 50 records).
Sub FormatTotalRows()
Dim rCell As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Workbooks("latest.xls").Activate
Range("formulas").Select
Selection.Copy
For Each rCell In Range("A3040:A5000")
If Len(rCell) > 0 Then
rCell.Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
Next
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
After using =Char(Mid(A1, 15, 1)), =Char(Mid(A1, 16, 1)), =Char(Mid(A1, 17, 1)), ... a few hundred times in years past, I made a form and wrote some code to list the contents of a cell in binary. It's been handy.
I recently added support for Unicode, so it may not be fully cooked (or maybe reheated), and double-width Unicode characters are problematic.
In addition to adding the attached form to the workbook, this needs to go in a code module.
I have a function saved in my Personal.xls (attached) but it is returning a #NAME error when used in other sheets. I am guessing that the NAME error means that the function can't be seen by other excel woorkbooks. I have already checked the following with no result:
1. Testing the code in a different workbook.
2. The code is visible in the script editor, but personal.xls is open but hidden.
3. When I open Tools>Macro>Macros the option of "All Open workbooks" is selected from the drop downbox.
4. Macro security is on low.
5. saving the function as a .xla file and running as an add-in
I have been working from help pages to try and learn and have added a personal(.xls) to my version of excel. Unfortunately I have saved some lines of code (as in the attachment screenshot) that appear to be interfering with the code that I have in some other workbooks. I cannot find a way of deleting this code or how to delete the personal(.xls) part of the VBA editor.

Inside of Excel I can unhide "Personal.Xls" and it is visible.
I have several macros set up as modules in my personal.xls. There is one particluar macro (for purposes here I will call it "SourceMacro") which I use repeatedly in other macros (also stored in personal.xls). What I have been doing is copying the code from SourceMacro and pasting it into other macros.
I understand that I can actually run the SourceMacro without pasting the code by using a run command. I have inserted the following code into one of my other macros, but get an error message saying that the SourceMacro can not be found. (I have checked spelling carefully.)

I have a macro to insert rows and add formatting in personal.xls, which will run from another worksheet when using alt+ f8 with no problems.
However, I am trying to run it from a macro in the second worksheet and have tried :
Call InsertRows
and get a Compile Error: Sub or Function not defined.
Application.Run "insertrows"
and get a Runtime Error '1004': the macro '...' can not be found.
Application.Run "Personal.xls!insertrows"
and get no error message, but the rows are not inserted.
If I copy the Sub code into the new worksheet, and then use Call, everything acts as it should.
Is the third method the correct way of calling the macro, and if so, what would cause it not to do what it is supposed to do?
I have (and will be) creating a number of macro in my personal workbook, a number of which will be run from within other macro also in my personal workbook. I am creating these to be distributed to members of staff within my work. This will be done by creating a template workbook for the job to be done, and e-mailing them all a copy. Now, I can not work out how to move the macro from my personal workbook into the new template so they can be run from there? Also, the macro that access other macro have a path to my personal workbook, will this be updated automatically when they are moved, or will I need to manually change them

When I start Excel, Personal.xls does start up but the funtion is not available to my in my other workbooks. Is there anything that I have missed out?
Last friday my personal.xls file went missing. I cannot find it anywhere which means I am missing about 10 key macros. While it is not the upset of the century, my problem is that now when I go into Record Macro and try to "Store New Macro in:" -> "Personal Macro Workbook" and then click OK, Excel brings up a msg box that says:
Personal Macro Workbook in the startup folder must stay open for recording.
Click OK and Excel says:
Unable to Record
I search the web and found a few different instructions, however the all lead me to the same point. My unhide button is greyed out and not an option. The workbook is in the correct location on my machine, etc. For some reason I cannot unhide it and have it show in my VBA window...
View 9 Replies View RelatedI had made some code changes that didn't end up working as I wanted and this called for PERSONAL to be called and acted on when excel was activated.

I am having a problem that shouldn't be that hard to fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have a file in the xlstart folder, called "personal.xls" with macros in it. The security level is at low, it isn't on the disabled list, and it won't automatically open when excel opens. If I double click on it, it opens. It just won't open when excel is first started. Is there any way to correct this?

View 13 Replies View RelatedWhat I need to do is put data that I get on a variery of excel speadsheets into a standard template. I can do this by the process of copying over column by column the appropriate detail from one workbook to the other.
what I'd like to do is replicate the column headings of the template onto the workbook with the original data so I'm looking at just one workbook all the while until I'm ready to transfer all the data in one go.
I realise I can just copy from the template to the active workbook, but what I had in mind was having the ability to hit a button to replicate it associated with a macro.
So the macro I'd want would involve starting from a cell in the active workbook, obtaining a named range from my personal workbook (which would be the template headings) and then pasting this back into the active cell of the active workbook.
And if it is feasible...how would I get it to work (taking into consideration the Personal workbook may be hidden).
the only code i have at the moment is
Workbooks("PERSONAL.XLSB").Worksheets(1).Range("MODELTEMPLATE").Copy
But how would I get this to paste onto the cell I start with?
One can create additional menu items for the right click, and these will show up always at the bottom. Is it possible to force them to appear at the top of the menu list above cut? This is specific to Macro created items.

Is there a way to setup personal views of a shared workbook ? For eg : I might hide columns f to j and the other person might have to hide columns h to m. Also, one person might be using ver 2003 and other person using 2010.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a simple macro that's in my default Excel startup file (Personal.xlsb - located in the folder C:Documents and SettingsUsernameApplication DataMicrosoftExcelXLSTART).
The problem is when I try to open two instances of Excel (not create a new workbook). I get the error message "Personal.XLSB is locked for editing."
I've look at other threads that talk about adding the macro as an "Add-In" (Personal.xlsb and multiple Excel's), BUT my problem is that I want to assign the macro a keyboard shoutcut (currently set to ctrl + shift + v).
I don't know of a way to assign an add-in macro a keyboard shortcut.
There are two macros that i'd liek to add to my personal macro workbook upon startup of excel.
i tried to do them without coding but it appears that some actual coding is necessary.
1) i'd like to be able to select any # of cells anywhere on the page and hit ctrl+shift + n and have all of those selected cells read #N/A (the forumula is =na() )
2) i'd like to be able to select any number of columns (i do finance/econ research so all data is in chronological order from 1960-present along the columns. i.e. each variable is a column vector.) and be able to hit ctrl+shift+b and have VBA make a chart in a new sheet with my default settings
i've tried to do these but recording the macro hard codes the select cells for 1) and always runs into weird problems for 2).
I created a macro and saved it into the Personal.xls file and originally the file stayed hidden whenever I ran the macro. I changed a setting somewhere and now when I run the macro the file opens up and stays open until I close it.
How can I have the file stay hidden when I run the macro?
