Renaming Sheets (newly Opened Workbook And Change It's Name)

Feb 12, 2008

I'm experimenting a bit with this code. The idea is the following:

I've got one spreadsheet (ThisWorkbook) were I define 5 names for 5 worksheets in all files of a specific folder (c: emp). I get stuck at this line: "wb.Sheet2.Name = myval2", since I'm for some reason not able to activate the newly opened workbook and change it's name....

Sub wd_testing()

Dim I As Long
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim firstrow As Long
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim cell As Object
Dim count As Integer
Dim myval2 As Variant
Dim myval3 As Variant
Dim myval4 As Variant
Dim myval5 As Variant
Dim myval6 As Variant
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

It's important to mention that there is no name conflict and the names work when entered manually.

Code Running When Already Open But Not When Newly Opened

Feb 26, 2014

Two workbook, A & B. Code in B copies some data over to a sheet in workbook A.

It does this not problems if A has remained open, but if it has just been opened, I get a "subscript out of range" error at the "With Workbooks" line.

The bit in red is what I have recently added to allow workbook A to be closed unless needed. Since adding this, the debug error has emerged, even though there was no problem when workbook A remained permanently open.

Hyperlink To Other Sheets Within Workbook When Sheets Change Name

Mar 24, 2012

I want to create a hyperlink to a sheet named "adsf"

I am currently in a worksheet named: "62b Arcus"

I want the hyperlink to be set by grabbing the name from another cell.

For example, In cell h7, I have the text: adsf

In cell g7, I want to place a formula such as: =HYPERLINK("adsf!")

Except, instead of this, I want: =HYPERLINK("h7!")

In this way, i want it to hyperlink to a sheet name based on the text that is in h7.

But neither of these formulas work. Both say the following: "Cannot Open the Specified File"

After reading up on this I have discovered that I must save the file and include the file name inside the formula.

My file name is: [Maintenance Color Codes of Houses - colour coded2.xlsm] =HYPERLINK("[Maintenance Color Codes of Houses - colour coded2.xlsm]adsf!A1","LINK")

This hyperlink actually works. Yet I have a problem. What if I rename the file. For this reason, I want it to grab the current file name using "filename". I have tried this by the following:

=MID(CELL("filename"),SEARCH("[",CELL("filename")),SUM(SEARCH("]",CELL("filename")),-SEARCH("[",CELL("filename")),1))

This grabs the current file name "Excluding the text outside of the [ and ]. I was able to create this formula myself.

How come I can't replace the part with [ and ] =HYPERLINK("[Maintenance Color Codes of Houses - colour coded2.xlsm]adsf!A1","LINK")

with:

=MID(CELL("filename"),SEARCH("[",CELL("filename")),SUM(SEARCH("]",CELL("filename")),-SEARCH("[",CELL("filename")),1))

These two formulas together would be:

=HYPERLINK("MID(CELL("filename"),SEARCH("[",CELL("filename")),SUM(SEARCH("]",CELL("filename")),-SEARCH("[",CELL("filename")),1))adsf!A1","LINK")

I also want to replace the "adsf" part with a cell number such as h7. So that it says h7!A1","LINK") or in full:

=HYPERLINK("MID(CELL("filename"),SEARCH("[",CELL("filename")),SUM(SEARCH("]",CELL("filename")),-SEARCH("[",CELL("filename")),1))h7!A1","LINK")

This doesn't work either

I know that I have probably created a ridiculous formula for what I am after. I'm almost there but not quite. You may know something far, far more simple.

Copy Paste Cells To Newly Created Workbook

Aug 9, 2008

My code in the first workbook generates a new workbook with a variable in the filename, then copies the cells from the first workbook to the newly created workbook. This code is working properly when used in a draft worksheet I use for testing. As soon as I put it in the master file, an error message pops up "Runtime error 1004 : select method of range class failed". Then the debug sends me to the line " Cells.Select ". What should I be looking for, why does my code work on one file but when i put it in another one it doesn't ?

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim line_counter As Long
Dim prm_line_value As Boolean
prm_line_value = False
Do
prm_line_value = Sheets("Rate").Cells(1 + line_counter, 1).Value
line_counter = line_counter + 1
Loop Until prm_line_value = False
line_counter = line_counter - 1
Dim Wk As Workbook
Dim number_of_new_wb_needed As Integer
If line_counter < 5000 Then.....................

Renaming Multiple Existing Sheets

Mar 7, 2014

I am a teacher who has created a gradebook in Excel. Each class has a student template sheet, individual sheets for each student in the class (maximum 26 students/class) which has the structure of the template and some cell referencing to the template, and a couple of mark-entry sheets and a sheet that shows the progress of all students in the class.

A number of teachers in the school have been using this gradebook and I am constantly looking for ways to make it more user-friendly. Currently, when a new course starts, a teacher opens a blank copy of the file (which has all of the sheets I mentioned above present). To set up a class, the teacher enters the students' names once on the mark entry sheet (called the "Binder Sheet"), and then changes the individual student tabs (right click...rename...) to reflect the names of their students.

I am wondering if there is a way to have the individual sheet tabs (Student 1, Student 2...Student 26) update automatically to match the names that the teacher enters on the Binder Sheet in cells A4:A29.

I would like to be able to embed the update procedure/script into the blank template so that it is user friendly for others.

Copy A Range Of Cells In Another Workbook Opened In A Separate Instance Of Workbook

Feb 11, 2010

I m not able to use the standard Excel Paste Special function when I copied a range of cells in another Excel workbook opened in a separate instance of Excel. Instead, Paste Special thinks that I have copied some non-Excel objects and gave me the Paste As options. This is not the case if I open both workbook within the same instance of Excel. Could you share with us if there is a trick to trigger the normal Paste Special options in such situations (without having to invoke Macro procedures)?

Making Workbook Opened From Other Workbook Active

Nov 20, 2006

I have a workbook that is a formatted report that I need to insert data from a name variable "CSV" file. I have created a macro in this workbook that calls an "Open" dialog for CSV files that I can use to browse to and open the source file. The macro then is supposed to "select all" copy and close the workbook then make the original workbook active and paste the data starting at row 2. The macro "seems" to be working perfectly except when I do the open the macro then makes the original workbook active, selects all copies then wants to close the original workbook. How can I tell the macro that the csv file that I just opened should be the active workbook, baring in mind that the name won't be known before the time it's opened so I can't hardcode the "active. workbook (NAME) "route.

Cells Dependent Upon How Workbook Is Opened

Jun 9, 2009

I have a workbook with about 30 tabs in it. It is currently protected by a password. The workbook itself has a couple of 1000 formulas across the tabs.

What I would like to do is to lock certain cells on each worksheet depending upon if the workbook is opened as "read only" or "in edit mode" (when someone uses the password).

So when someone uses the correct password, I would still like certain cells to be locked, or after the initial password is entered for editing, another popup box with "would you like to edit cell formulas? Y/N (only on selective cells), if no, then no editing on those cells allowed, if yes, then prompted to input another password to do this.

Workbook To Check It Filename Once Opened

Dec 29, 2009

I am trying to ensure that m work book keeps the same name even when I email it to others.

I have been told on this forum that it is possible for a workbook to check its own name once opened?

I have two different names that this file can be called 1st is the one that is in use all the time and the 2nd is a archive version where the name changes each month.

The file name I wish to keep the same for the no archived version is Toolbox and a predetermined number I have a workings sheet called workings and in a cell i have a formula =TEXT("Toolbox Application " & Cover!E10,) this will give me the file name that i need to check for example it could be Toolbox Application 00089 or Toolbox Application 00967.

I also have a cmd that archives the workbook and saves it as Toolbox and the Month it was for Toolbox for Jan for example

I also need this to open if it is an archive

if neither of the names match i need the workbook to close and a msgbox to tell user to rename the workbook correctly.
