Im having trouble with getting a macro to run at a specific time and day (Every Thursday at 7PM).
Here's what I have done so far..
1. I added my excel file to the task scheduler
2. created a class module and place the code below into it.
In testing the workbook opened but it asked if i wanted to enable or disable the macros - how do I get around this? And it does seem to kick off the macro (create_all).
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
If Hour(Now) = 1130 And Weekday(Now, vbMonday) < 7 Then
' TheNameOfYourCurrentProcedureHere
create_all
If Workbooks.Count = 1 Then
Me.Save
Application.Quit
Else
Me.Close True 'save the changes and close the workbook
End If
End If
End Sub
I have a worksheet that runs a query from an external data program. I have made a macro that refreshes the worksheet and this works ok. Is there a way I can get Scheduled tasks to automatically update this workbook eg overnight. I do not want to leave the workbook open either. Can task scheduler open the workbook, refresh the data, then close the workbook again.
I'm trying to auto input names from my schedule into dailytasks for my servers. Sometimes the amount of servers on a specific day changes(i.e Mondays 3 to 5 servers and Friday - Sunday there is 4-6 servers on) and times could change also as of now it works with
=VLOOKUP("6:00",AC$25:AJ$46,8,FALSE)
Not sure how to set up lookup value and return the name
I have searched and think I have found what I need to create Outlook tasks from my Excel spreadsheet. I'm hoping that someone here can help me pull it together into something that will be usable in my project tracking spreadhsheet...
I try to keep track of milestones... these milestones are listed in column B of my spreadsheet and are in rows 10 through about 105
For each of my customers I then keep 4 columns D, E, F, G - H, I, J, K - L,M,N,O - etc. Each group of 4 is a different customer....
The customer's first column (D, H, L, etc.) is a Due date of the Milestone that is found in column B. The second column is a check box that I use to indicate when the milestone is complete The 3rd column is the completion date The last colum is just a filler space that helps to separate each customer.
What I would like to do is insert a button at the bottom of EACH grouping of 4 that when pressed would look at the first column for the customer group and for ANY Milestone that has a DUE date process the stuff in the VB below to create an OUTLOOK task for each item that has a DUE date. (It would be conceivable that as it stepped through each row for a customer group of columns that I could have it create 90+ Tasks in Outlook.
A couple of additional things... in row 110 for the first column of the customer I have a DATE or a blank. So for example in D110 it might be blank or a date like 10/29/2007. If it is blank then when I press the button it would loop through ADD the tasks for each row with a due date. If row 110 has a DATE I would get a popup indicating that the tasks are already in OUTLOOK and that they were added on whatever the date is in row 110... This is kind of the safeguard that I don't get the same group of tasks multiple times by pressing the button by mistake.
I have a worksheet where I calculate the duration it takes for an operation. the format of the worksheet is as folows:
The worksheet is composed of Start and Finish times in this format: 2009/06/02 5:32:19 , so for example,
- Row1 of the worksheet will have "Start" in column H1 and the start time in column B1 - Row 2 of the worksheet directly below has the "Finish" time, with the Finish time information in column B2
So with the help of excelforums I was able to implement a macro to extract the finish time cell found in row B2 and offset it to C1 and do a simple calculation to get the duration in minutes and display it in column D of the same row as "Start".
I scheduled a task to open excel and when it does (at a certain time), a little sub is supposed to run (couple minutes later) via the OnTime Method located in the Workbook Open Event. There is one weird thing though....
1. When Excel opens automatically through Scheduled Task (and you see the clean white sheet WITH gridlines), Sub does NOT run (that is, my file is NOT even opening).
2. When I myself open Excel manually WITHOUT opening a new workbook (in other words, in front of you there will be grey area without gridlines), Sub runs perfectly (in other words, my file opens automatically and Sub performs whatever it is supposed to do).
Over the weekend I had to look at 220 strings of numbers, some strings with as much as 20 numbers and determine if the numbers represented red, green, blue, or yellow and how many of each color from a parent list.
I did it all by hand. After getting help here from JBeaucaire on my tally sheet, which I successfully recreated with their guidance, I thought I might ask this question. How would one go about creating a macro that would when it seen a certain number, it would put the color in the column immediately to the left, and the number of colors in the column immediately to the left.
I have a project network spreadsheet shown below and in column BT I need to identify each non-critical path task (value in column BS is "N") that has a critical path task (value in column BS is "Y") as one of it's immediate predecessors.
Predecessor tasks are listed with commas separating them in column G. They are also separated out into columns H through Q for another function in the spreadsheet.
I was given the following formula by Domenic some time ago that I use along with VBA code supplied by Fin Fan Foom to open do a lookup on a closed workbook:
=If(ISNUMBER(MATCH(MIN(If( Date=D2,If(ABS(Time-E2)<"0:30:30"+0,ABS(Time-E2)))),If(Date=D2,ABS(Time-E2)),0)),INDEX(Contact,MATCH(MIN(If(Date=D2,If(ABS(Time-E2)<"0:30:30"+0,ABS(Time-E2)))),If(Date=D2,ABS(Time-E2)),0)),"") Everything works fine, until I attempt to… - cut & paste a block of cells, or - do a SaveAs, or - change a worksheet name
The formula will no longer function after performing any of these tasks (the cells go blank), and I have to close the workbook without saving to preserve the original workbook functionality. All other tasks, including even importing of different files into the workbook have NO negative effect.
The formula uses an “INDIRECT” named range. Sheet name changes are reflected in the named ranges, but any change of names somehow causes a malfunction (no sheet names are referenced in the VBA).
I thought that the large lookup workbook (40,000 rows) may be a problem, but even after deleting most of the data and retaining only a few rows, the problem still remained.
After the formula cuts out (after performing the above tasks), if I open up the lookup file, then the lookup will work again, but if I close the lookup file, it will stop working.
I doubt the problem is in the VBA code since IT WORKS, and besides, I have other simple VLookups formulas that also uses the same process (and VBA code) and they continue to work just fine when that one formula gives out. The only thing I can think of is that the complexity of that one formula may be an issue.
Anyway, I the original thread is long, so I’m starting a new one here. The original thread is here (Domenic’s formula, pg 7; FFF’s code, pg 8): Dedicated Cell To Choose Lookup Table
I am trying to drag a numerical value down (X4-X10) but I need it to repeat two rows in between, simultaneously keep the numbering in sequence only after the repeats 2 rows in between, and perform the previously mentioned 2 tasks any row in a column. So far, I have to manually enter or when I select cell X4 and X5 together ( having a value of 1 and 2 respectively) and drag, the value does not repeat 2 rows in between and does not keep the numbering in sequence after the 2 rows.
At Present: X4 1 X5 2 X6 3 X7 4 X8 5 X9 6 X10 7
I need to have
X [nsubscript1, or nsubscript2, or nsubscript3... nsubscript10000 ] 1 X [nsubscript1, or nsubscript2, or nsubscript3... nsubscript10000 ]+1 1 X [nsubscript1, or nsubscript2, or nsubscript3... nsubscript10000 ]+2 1 X [nsubscript1, or nsubscript2, or nsubscript3... nsubscript10000 ]+3 2 X [nsubscript1, or nsubscript2, or nsubscript3... nsubscript10000 ]+4 2 X [nsubscript1, or nsubscript2, or nsubscript3... nsubscript10000 ]+5 2 X [nsubscript1, or nsubscript2, or nsubscript3... nsubscript10000 ]+6 3 X [nsubscript1, or nsubscript2, or nsubscript3... nsubscript10000 ]+7 3 X [nsubscript1, or nsubscript2, or nsubscript3... nsubscript10000 ]+8 3
and so on...
I have a 2000+ rows to manually input and hence it is not practical!.
I have had some help with this (thanks!) but am stuck.
Can someone add to the code below and make it so that multiple tasks, with multiple assignees, can be created from a range of cells, such as:
Column A Column B Row 1Task SubjectAssign to Row 2GV LP for AZJohn Brown Row 3GV LP for COJohn Brown Row 4GV LP for ILSuzy Smith Row 5GV LP for INSuzy Smith Row 6GV LP for KYSuzy Smith Row 7GV LP for MNSuzy Smith Row 8GV LP for MSBob Barker Row 9GV LP for NCBob Barker Row 10GV LP for NJBob Barker Row 11GV LP for NMBob Barker Row 12GV LP for NVBob Barker Row 13GV LP for NYBob Barker Row 14GV LP for OHBob Barker Row 15GV LP for SCBob Barker Row 16GV LP for WVBob Barker
(Sorry, it didn't translate well. The "GV LP for AZ" is cell A2, "John Brown" is cell B2.)
I am using excel 2007. My issue is i have a front sheet that I want to list all my tasks due within five days of the day of the month the spreadhseet is opened.
All the tasks are on two different excel sheets though and one of them i update with different tasks 2-3 times a week.
I am trying to set up a spreadsheet which automatically calculates the start and end dates of project tasks, by looking at the order in which tasks need to be completed. I have attached a spreadsheet to show what I am trying to do.
I would like to create a menu representing "tasks" where an amount of "time" can be designated per option for my employees to select and fill. I would like this information to then be tallied elsewhere so I can keep track of our efficiency.
So far, I've created a table where a "time" input is nested beside each "task" drop down menu, I would like these inputs to be added up underneath the same category on the budget tab.
For example: If I work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday doing tiling.. I would like the budget to reflect those accumulated hours (throughout the week) nested under "tiling".
Here's the file, what I'm trying to accomplish [URL] ............
I make our employee schedule at work, and so in Excel I have eight sheets for one workbook. (Employee schedule, then each day of the week) On each day is a table separating the shifts. Morning, Split and Night.
I was wondering if there was a way for Excel to look at the schedule sheet, and then automatically place each employee and their shift on the following day sheets. (example: Joe has 2-10 on Monday, 10-6 on Thursday and Friday) So the Excel puts Joe underneath Split 2-10 for Monday, and Morning 10-6 on Thursday and Friday.
I am trying to schedule a macro to run at 11:45 pm every time. I use system scheduler to open the excel file and when I use this command to run the macro nothing happens. The workbook opens fine but the macro does not run. I only wants to run the macro once day even if I open the workbook during the day I do not want it to run.
We have huge restrictions on hours, and to avoid inputting, then revising the schedule into my companies scheduling module, then having to change it again when the boss looks it over, it's just confusing.
Anyway, I'll get to the point, I want to add the hours up in a row of cells for the week sunday through saturday. Like so:
1100-2100 | 1100-2100 | OFF | 1100-2100 etc... I want it to add these cells hours up and have the total end up in the 8th cell.
Is this possible? I am a new excel user, or at least, setting up my own sheet.
The table posted above is the schedule for my employee. I need an input box which asks for a date. When the user supplies date, it should look for people who are scheduled for that particular date and who are on leave and put the result in the next worksheet at the last occupied row.
For instance, if I supply the date as 2nd Dec then the next worksheet should be filled with @ row # 2 (Row1 has headings)
EmployeeEmp IDSchedule A123409:00 PM - 06:00 AM B123511:30 PM - 08:30 AM C123602:30 AM - 11:30 AM E123811:30 PM - 08:30 AM G124009:00 PM - 06:00 AM
Then if I select 3rd Dec, the next worksheet should be filled with the following data starting fom row number 7 (just below the above data) A123409:00 PM - 06:00 AM B123511:30 PM - 08:30 AM D123705:30 AM - 03:00 PM G124009:00 PM - 06:00 AM
Excel is a new program for me sorry to say it but i have been try to figure out how to write a schedule on it and tally the hours for each employee i have them set up in rows right now and i hope i can keep it that way but i am tired of add hours up for each employee every week i'm sure it is really easy but can some one let me in no the little secret
Have a basic weekly schedule for 300 employees. Need to be able to identify the last day off in previous week so the following week isn't scheduled to work on the 6th or 7th day without a day off. For example, if schedule is Mon - Sun and employee #1 has Mon & Tues off this week, next week Mon would be the 6th day so I wouldn't schedule that person on Monday the following week. Calculate last column "Next Wk Mon" instead of manually figuring it out... Need to be able to identify last day off, count the days from that point to the next monday. It becomes difficult when days off are split...
which is row D on my excel sheet. I need to fill into another form who works shift D, shift E and shift N. Is there a formula I can use to do this? I have given a small sample of my schedule below.

run a spreadsheet for Vendor Deliveries and got as far as promised delivery date and actual delivery date with a late or on time comment. Im trying to get a percentage from this data.the excel spreadsheet that i have uploaded.Delivery Schedule.xls
Combing these two formulas. I have a work schedule spreadsheet. If the employee is Off I want the value to = 0 (zero hours). But if the cell has a start time I need it to calculate those hours. I know both of the formulas work individually. But I need them to work together.
Formula for when cell says OFF: =IF(C11="Off",0)
And the second
Formula to calculate hours (based on start time/finish time is the same for all employees) =($X$4-C11+($X$4<C11))*24
