View 2 RepliesI have 3 sheets: 1: master entry sheet that fills data in 5 different excel docs. Then there is another doc that aggregates data from the 5 and presents totals on the data. I am trying to get the end result without having to have 7 different excel files open, but when I enter into the master entry sheet, the data doesn't seem to be "pushed" up to the 5 different docs until each one is opened up. Obviously, the master aggregator is not updated since the 5 don't have the new data. When the files are all opened at the same time, the data flows perfectly, I'm just trying to find a way to avoid having to open the 5 docs in the middle of the process.

All of these sheets resided in a single workbook, and worked correctly using the following VBA code snippet:

I would like to combine sheets A B and C into one sheet so that it looks like the sheet I created manually. I have began the processes using formulas but I am unable to combine the final sheet of data as the rows no longer line up using the same formula.
I have a workbook of 96 sheets. I need to get the 4th row of each sheet,
and merge all, 96 of them, into one new sheet.
I want to merge different worksheet of an existing workbook into one by macro .I did not want to repeat the rows label for each worksheet data.Also I want to get at right hand side i.e in G column the data to be extracted for respective worksheet in the merged data.I have enclosed in attachment an expected solution in a sheet name "merged".However the number of worksheet is here only 3 for sample purposes.However,in reality there is more than 3 .
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using Excel 2007. I'd like to merge multiple sheets (about 13) into one workbook. The sheets are placed in one folder, and they all include 2 sheets, - only the first sheet should be merged into the final workbook.
The sheets will be updated every 3 months and merged again (-thus replacing the old data).
* I have a workbook, with different sheets (with sheet name as Home, RawData, Data1, Data2, Data3, ...), these sheets are not fixed
* FYI... sheet (home) has a VBA code which on running creates a new sheet and pull data from some other source (So the sheet number is not fixed in the workbook, but the newly added sheet is named in a specific format as Data1, Data2, Data3, ...)
* So we can say, that the sheet number and name are not fixed (It keeps on changing)
* All these sheets have data in the same format starting from range A2:J2, except sheet(home)
Two things i am trying to do:-
- Select sheets from the workbook (to be consolidated)
- Consolidate selected sheets in a new sheet
Here is the sample file Select sheet then consolidate.xlsm
I am having trouble getting the selection of sheets to work. I have a workbook that has multiple sheets and one constant sheet (Summary). There is code to create new forms in this workbook and insert them after the Summary sheet. These forms all have a date input that is formatted as a date (mm/dd/yyyy), these dates get modified on the day the form is created, there may be any number of sheets created during this process. I have to print the summary sheet and only the newest forms created. I need a code to select sheets to print based on the date input of a user for each form. This is what I have so far:
VB:
Dim i As Variant
i = Range("B5").Value >= InputBox("What date to start PDF from? Format = mm/dd/yyyy")
Sheets(Array("i")).Select [code]....
If the dim can be taken out and just included in the line for the array that would be fine with me. The cell "B5" is where the date is located in each form. I want to input a date and the macro will select the sheets where the date is equal to and greater than the date entered. The Summary sheet will always be included in the print set. I have a dialog box for setting which printer to use - this file will be used at different offices and therefor the printers will be different and it will also allow to create a PDF if desired.
My issue is I want to use a for loop to go through a spreadsheet. Within the for loop if a certain condition is true I want it to select all columns from A to AW and merge them together.
Example of what I have so far:
Sub MergeHeaders
dim i as Intger, LastRow as Integer
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "CP").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 to LastRow
'Check if the leading character is a letter, not number
If Asc(Cells(i, "AP")) > 64 Then
'I want select from A to AW only for current row i, then merge
end If
next i
end sub
I'm working on a macro which compares values in particular cells across different versions of a sheet. Unfortunately there are quite a lot of values, and my code is running very slowly.
I'm trying to get the data in a grid, with the file version across the top, and down the left the project name. For each file version I need to look up a specific value for every project listed.
At the moment, my macro is creating a seperate formula for each cell which does a vlookup on the project name to the specific external file.
The relevant bit of code is below
At the moment its runnig to slow by several orders of magnitude, Working on a 4 by 10 grid it takes about a minute, and I'm going to need it to be able to handle a 50 by 800 grid.
While the code is running, the CPU is not maxed out, so I'm assuming that its the calls to the file system which are taking all the time.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim ccount As Integer
Dim rcount As Integer
Dim sFilename As String
Dim sPath As String
With ActiveSheet
For ccount = 1 To Range("c1").End(xlToRight).Column - 2
sPath = Left(FileNamesList(ccount), InStr(FileNamesList(ccount), "Pipeline ~") - 1)
sFilename = Right(FileNamesList(ccount), Len(FileNamesList(ccount)) - InStr(FileNamesList(ccount), "Pipeline ~") + 1)
For rcount = 1 To Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row - 2
by SDB.xls]Pipeline'!$A$1:$AO$300,3,0)
Cells(rcount + 2, ccount + 2) = "=VLOOKUP(""" & Cells(rcount + 2, 1) & """,'" & sPath & "[" & sFilename & "]Pipeline'!$A$1:$AO$300,3,0)"
Next rcount
Next ccount
End With
I have a list of objects in column A
I want to select that list or part of it then run a VB module that references each item in the selection and compares it to a master list in a separate workbook that contains both the object and an additional value, and display that additional value in column B of the original workbook against each object in column A
Would be a massive time saver but can't find anything here or on Google on how to do this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a document (unfortunately I cannot attach it) in Excel 365 that each time I open it I get the usual prompt that it is calling an external link. As much as i'd love to hide the popup I need to find the link to solve to problem but I'm at a loss.
Simply breaking the links doesn't work for some reason, so I've tried updating the source to reflect the current file. No luck there.
I've searched the workbook for the name of the link in question, searching for all formula for name itself as well as variants of "[" and ".xlms".
I don't see anything in the name manager referencing that external file.
I don't recall if I copied from that particular document, I may have as it was a duplicate file. I tried looking over the cells I believe I copied from it but didn't see the reference.
I've installed Kutools and Bill Manville (MS MVP) FindLink Tool. Both of which says there is no external link.
I've looked at the compatibility checker which basically just says, yes there is an external link but give no insight on how to address.
I've tried a couple of macros, some of which crashed excel, some of which simply said that there was an external link but not how to find it. In my frustration I forgot which one that was but I'm about to try that approach again and look for that code.

I want to move the workbook I have created to a different folder on the same drive. The workbook is pretty big and has loads of links to other workbooks. If I move it will all of these links fail and if so will I have to manually reset them all? I guess I am asking if there is specific method of moving workbooks which will automatically change the links to the cope with the new location?

View 13 Replies View RelatedI need to create a formula or code which will return the value of cell d16 from an external and unopened workbook, where that external workbook's file name, directory and sheet names are provided within cells (able to be updated) of the current workbook. I have downloaded the add-in for INDIRECT.EXT but either being unfamiliar with this function or that I'm barking up the wrong tree all I'm getting is #REF!

I have been trying for some days to copy a module to an external workbook with VBA. I have about 40 workbooks that have the same format. although I developed these sheets. I am not the person who uses them. I have to on occasion alter the code for some reason, its getting tiresome.
I don't think I can use the personal workbook method for this as it is not me using the workbooks. I don't even know some of the people that use them. This courses me problems because of the number of workbooks. I want to be able to maintain the code by having to write it once and propagate it through the necessary files via the VBA.
I have code from C Pearson that copies a module to another workbook.
I have posted this here just in case. Most threads on this subject just direct you here any way....
Once I open a new workbook, how do I make it the active workbook to have a function make changes to it? Problem I am having is even after it is open, the function will only make changes to the workbook containing the Macro (Thisworkbook)....
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet which has 3 separate external queries running from worksheet 'A'. My user enters a couple of dates in another worksheet 'B' to supply the date parameters for the query and a macro runs to refresh all of the queries and performs a few calculations.This works fine. The trouble is I don't want the user to be able to view all the data on sheet 'A' only the summary on B. My macro ends up on sheet B but whilst the query is refreshing the raw data is displayed to the user on sheet 'A'. When I hide the sheet 'A' i get a run time error '1004' Select method of worksheet class failed.

I have a workbook that updates from external source and creates sheets depending on a cell range.
I have put tab 1 and tab 0 on either end of where the new sheets will be inputted, will never know how many sheets
What i need to happen is if someone fills in "complete" in A7 in my "summary" sheet then the values in row 6 in all the other sheets get hardcoded. This needs to happen from A7 down to A26, so A8 = complete then copy row 7 etc
This is what i have so far
I get compile error here ........Sheets(ArrSh(1)).Activate
Also need it to work for all the other rows.

I'm trying to summarize some data from an external workbook. The problem is that the worksheet names there are months (Jan2009, Feb2009 etc.) and the sheets rotate (change position) with time. In the summarizing workbook I would like to use a function to refer to (for example) cell A1 on the third worksheet, regardless of the current name of that worksheet. So I might have a cell in the summary workbook that looks something like "=CoolFunction(ExternalWB.xls, 3, A1)"
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to copy a named range from an external workbook. Currently I am using some VBA copied from a recorded macro that first opend the 2nd workbook and then selects the named range, changes back to the original workbook and drops the copied range into the active workbook.
I would like to find a way to get around having to open the reference workbook, and instead simply point to the proper workbook name and named range.
I have a list that show file names and when the necessary works on these files were completed, but the powers that be want more. I have been asked to add two more columns, one showing when the file was last opened and the other when it was last modified.
Is it possible to do this through VBA without having to open the files that are listed? If so I will run the macro when the workbook is first opened.
I've got a field where I enter the current month, from this I derive a file path which is stored in A4.
ie: A1 = '01/11/2011' (UK Date format)
A4 = '\myserverdirectory20111111MyFile.xls'
What I'm trying to achieve is to then have a link in cell A6 that will link to the file in A4. I can specify my cell reference as this will never change, just the file path.
So, if I changed A1 to '01/12/2011' my A4 changes to '\myserverdirectory20111211MyFile.xls'
I'm trying to set A6 to something like ="&$A$A4&"!B1 to get the value of B1 on my referenced sheet.
