I have a large spreadsheet that has thousands of hyperlinks that I would like to check periodically to make sure they are up to date. I have found dozens of examples of VBA code that will do this for me and seemingly very clear instructions on how to do it (for example this), but haven't yet been able to successfully run anything in my spreadsheet. It either doesn't do anything, or I get an error message of a bad file name.
View 2 RepliesI have a macro that creates a new sheet and names it based off a cell value (date, MM-DD-YY), and copies a 'Template' sheet to it, values only. Every so often, two sheets need to be made with the same date. I need the right direction in creating an addition to the below code that will add an A, B, or C at the end of the sheet name if the name is already taken?

I have this formula =COUNTIF(WallA,D35) which works great unless the named range is deleted. Is there a way to check to see if the named range is valid in formula?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI was wanting to use an IF Then statement to check if numberes entered into cells in Sheet1 were valid numbers in another sheet. The valid numbers will not always be consecutive.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using VBA to determine the data type of the active cell value. I have the following:
'To check Number
IsNumeric(ActiveCell.Value)
'To check Date
IsDate((ActiveCell.Value)
'To check Formula
ActiveCell.HasFormula
'To check Text (*not perfect solution)
WorksheetFunction.IsText(ActiveCell.Value)
However, I cannot find the way to check for Time. In addition, the method IsText will return True even if the active cell value is a date.
I have a cell in which I would like to have a user enter an email address. If it does not follow a valid format I would like it to display an error message, "Invalid E-mail Address", clear contents and re-select the cell otherwise move to the next cell. By Valid email I want it to check for only one "@", and at least one "." but I also want it so that a user can't just bypass it with typing "@.". I would like it to reject special characters and spaces and only allow "-" and "_" maybe a general format of <name>@<place>.<domain>
The cell in question is K45 and the following cell would be K47 if a valid email is entered
Any way to check if data entered is a valid date using a VBA function/routine?
For example, cdate() and isdate() functions accept dates like 31-Feb-12 and 29-Feb-11 when they are not valid.
If the cell is formatted as date format, then Excel replaces hyphens with forward slashes for dates, except invalid ones like 31-Feb-12 and 29-Feb-11, so in these cases I can test for existence of forward slashes in the following way
Len(Mid(pCell, InStr(pCell, "/") + 1, Len(pCell) - InStr(pCell, "/"))) 7
However this approach fails for Input boxes. Obviously I can't convert the Input box response using cdate function as it will incorrectly accept 31-Feb-12 as a valid date.
Any routines that will work for both cell entered and Input box entered dates?
want to do something simple, and it just wont paste. not sure why. anyone care to look it over and tell me what i'm doing wrong here?
'Insert Date Information

vDate = Date
'Get date from user

I need to create a leave tracker wherein i will get the names of the person who want to take leave in that particular month. I have prepared a calendar to make an entry. I need to take care of the following things
1) The person must have sufficient leave balance available to take the leave. so i have to first check if he/she has sufficient leave balance.
2) There are four team leaders and each team has around 13-14 members. so if lots of people from the same team apply for the leave then they will not be eligible for leave. this i want to know in percentage as to how much percentage of people are taking leave from that particular team.
Excel macro to retrieve some valid data from one sheet to another which has some values.

My company uses 4 types of barcodes 8, 12, 13, & 14 number barcodes for our products my problem is that I can't figure out how to force the barcode to format properly no matter how somebody enters it if they don't use spaces or put them in the wrong spots, I can't use custom formats because there is 4 different layouts
8 digit should be "#### ####"
12 digit should be "###### ######"
13 digit should be "# ###### ######"
14 digit should be "# ## ##### ######"

I have a macro (Photo_Hyperlinks2) that creates a hyperlink for every file found from a specific folder in Column A of Sheet 1.
The rest of Sheet 1 is my long version of doing what I want the macro to do... place the hyperlinks at the right spot. Sheet "Checksheet" makes a hyperlink of the already made hyperlinks (from Sheet 1) ONLY if the hyperlink in Sheet 1 is found. Same goes for the hyperlinks (1), (2), (3), and (4).
I really want to get rid of having to create a Sheet 1. I'm pretty sure there's a way to tell a macro to place the hyperlinks that contain "id" and/or "est" on the right row number in sheet Checksheet, and that if that row (in Checksheet Sheet) contains a (1) -(4), put it in the right cell, while also ommiting the first part of the name (ex: from 123445E(1) to (1)) ; I can live without that part if it can't be done.
Sheet "Checklist Using C-G Columns" shows the hidden columns not seen in Sheet "Checklist". Those manually inputed numbers are there mainly to tell that if more than 1 of the cells on the row are filled out, then to create a new row below it, and to continue the hyperlinking with (5), (6)... etc.
The final product is supposed to look like Sheet "Ideal Checksheet", except that ideally links (5)... etc. should work, and columns C-G are hidden again.
I currently have a macro that uploads information on a daily basis for hours worked on campaigns per employee. It then converts the data into a pivot table where it uses relative references to copy the total from the bottom and paste them on to another worksheet. I am now trying to use hyperlinks to link the total back to the pivot table. With daily updates though, the data is constantly being pushed down and is located in a new cell each time. How can I get a hyperlink to work for an area thats constantly changing?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet and within the first sheet there are lots of hyperlinks to other cells within sheet 1 (my template).
I have made a small macro which very basically makes a copy of sheet 1 (my template)
The hyperlinks in the template are explicit and as they are copied to sheet two, they still reference back to cells in sheet 1. I need the hyperlinks to be relative, so that when I make a copy of the template the hyperlinks are copied and make reference to cells in the new sheet. I cannot work out how this should be done
What I’m after is the macro code to remove all the Hyperlinks from the data in the cells in a worksheet.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to further automate the process of formatting my financial statements and am hoping someone might get me on the right track here. Currently I create 2 sheets, one called "MMM YYYY" (i.e. month year) and another called "General Ledger".
The process I am currently doing manually is creating a link between each line item on the financial statement and its GL account information on the General Ledger tab.
The description of each line item on the financial statement (the MMM YYYY tab) matches the GL account description on the General Ledger tab with the exception that the GL account description starts with the GL account number and then the description.
For example the "Utilities" line item on the financial statement needs to link to a line on the General Ledger tab that is "7071-45 Utilities".
In my mind I see the macro saying go to the next line and read what it says. Now go to the General Ledger tab and look for something that says the same thing excluding any preceeding numbers and make a hyperlink.
If it helps, I've uploaded a sample of one of the statements as I currently do them with the hyperlinks already set up. There are not any macros in this spreadsheet. If you'd like to take a look at it, you can get it here: ....
I tried to learn VBA about 4years ago, so my knowledge as died. I hope this question has not come up before, i did do a search before. I wish to create a new hyperlink based on a activecell eg. A1=SN0001 then hyperlink will be SN0001. Only thing i can remember how to do is record marco, but ofcourse copying the cell will return a hardcoded value.
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, Address:="1"
Where address is :="1" how do i paste the activecell. I have 9000 cells to hyperlink.
Can't seem to attach sample Widgets.xls. I need a macro to take the heading (note heading not sheet name) from each worksheet on a workbook (or from a range of nominated worksheets in case I don't want to index the first or last few sheets) and use it as the Description for a Index entry on a nominated sheet e.g. Sheet named 'Index'. In addition that each Description is also a hyperlink back to the sheet with the heading. In this way users can click between each entry on the index to go to the sheet and then click on the heading on the sheet to go back to the index.
Index Sheet
M21, M22 and M22-A BICYCLES1
Q21, Q22 and Q22-A BICYCLES2
R21, R22 and R22-A BICYCLES3
Taking this one step further I ideally want to save this workbook as a pdf and the hyperlinks to remain.
I am attempting to write an Excel macro that will be stored in a file called MacroFile. The purpose of the macro is to
1. Follow a hyperlink to an Excel file saved in a SharePoint type enviroment
2. Save the file to my laptop directory My Documents.
Below is the code I have written. The code is following the hyperlink and saving a file but is the focus file is incorrect.
Here is what happens:
1. Open up MacroFile and run macro
2. Hyperlinked file LinkedFile_1.xls is opened
3. File NewFile_1 is saved but contains the info from MacroFile
4. Hyperlinked file LinkedFile_2.xls is opened
5. File NewFile_2 is saved but contains the info from LinkedFile_1
6. Hyperlinked file LinkedFile_3.xls is opened
7. File NewFile_3 is saved but contains the info from LinkedFile_2

Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

I have three charts in my workbook. I want to attach a macro so that when the chart is clicked it returns to Sheet - Home. I have using the following:

Basically, what I'm dealing with is an inventory system. When a cell value reaches below a certain quantity, we have a cell light up with the word "YES" (under the "re-order" column). What I'd like to do is have a macro that checks to see if that cell is populated with "YES" and if it is, to run another macro (which I already have written) that sends out an email notifying us of the need to re-order.
How it would work: The person pulling out the inventory would fill out this form and click "Submit"
submitbutton.jpg
I would then have a "call" code tied to the "Submit" button that when clicked, would run the macro to check cell population and send out the email. The email code is already written and works flawlessly on it's own. I just cant seem to figure out how to write a macro that checks for cell value and then runs it (or not) based on that.
I created an add-in for Excel 2003 by following your site's instructions, substituting my own subroutine's name for "MyGreatMacro" (for the purposes on testing all it does is spit out a MsgBox). I then put the resulting xla file on a network drive and went through the standard process for installing an Addin :
Tools -> Addins -> Browse for the file and hit ok, check it off, etc
This works perfectly fine when i try to install on my own machine, but when I try on other user's machines I get an error message stating that the xla file is not a valid Addin. Excel's error message in this case is about as unhelpful as they come.
I'm at a point in the macro where I want to check a value.
Not sure how to write it.
Here's what I need.

View 4 Replies View Relatedi have a customer (im a computer tech, but excel is not my specialty) that has a weird problem with her most important file. She meant well, but tried to back up a 2.6 MB file to a floppy disk, and after it told her the disk was full, she was unable to open the file again in excel. (File Format Is Not Valid) It will, however, open in word, with the data there. Its in an unusable format, as there were 12 different worksheets (one for every month), all on the one page of MS Word. Better than nothing, but still will take weeks to reenter properly. I searched for a repair utility and had one that seemed to work, but only put a "0" in column A row 8. A far cry from what we are looking for. Ive also run a disk recovery program in the hopes of finding an older version of the file, but came up empty.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a textbox (on a userform) that populates into a spreadsheet. the way I have it set up the user enters a time, but omits the semicolon, and a macro adjusts the time to show the semi colon in the spreadsheet, that is working great. But what I would like to do is to use a textbox change event to force the user to enter a valid time using a 24 hour clock. I have the textbox set to accept numbers from 0 to 2400, using the textbox change event but this allows the user to enter an invalid time such as "1575" basically anthing above 59 for the last 2 digits would be invalid.
