I have a workbook with alot of results that employees will need to wait for results to show.
While it Calculates.. can we get a cell to show "Please Wait - Searching" so they know its actually doing something for them?
What is the simplest way to display a "Please Wait.." message during the execution of a macro.
Tried the WshShell.Popup but did not work.
I am using Excel 2007.
I have some pivot tables that have the data source in another workbook. I didn't create any external data connections. When I created the first pivot table, I just selected the range from that other workbook. Most of the other pivot tables were copied and modified accordingly, so they should have the same pivot cache.
I have created a macro that basically refreshes all data, using the Workbook.RefreshAll command, then copy/pastes values and then deletes the pivots so that I can send it via e-mail without problems. The macro seems to work fine.
The QUESTION relates to the fact that I am afraid VBA won't wait for the refresh to complete before starting to copy/paste values.
The PivotCache.BackgroundQuery = False solution doesn't work. I get 10004 error. Also, there are no data connections visible in the Data > Connections. I guess that, because of this, "Properties" is greyed out in the Data tab and also "Connection Properties" under Pivot Table Tools > Options > Change Source Data is greyed out. This way, I cannot uncheck the "Enable background refresh" box.
I could just tick the "Refresh when opening the file" in Pivot Table options, but if I open the file without first opening the workbook with the raw data, refresh takes very long.
I have tried to measure time difference between the RefreshAll command and a simple Range("C3").Select command. There is a time difference, but I'm still not 100% sure that VBA waits for refresh to complete before continuing.
VB:
Do Until Application.CalculationState = xlDone
VB:
[COLOR=#333333][COLOR=#333333]DoEvents[/COLOR][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][COLOR=#333333]Loop[/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][COLOR=#333333]

I'm trying to use a barcode scanner to enter in information in a given Excel spreadsheet and then search for that exact same information in a column in the same Excel spreadsheet.
The barcode will enter in the numeric information in A1.
I am searching for the exact information in column F.
If found, I would like for the cell the information is in to turn a color such as green.
Is that doable with a formula in Excel 2010?
Am creating a large medical teaching database on Excel that lists JPEG images (a few hundred) and the file paths for each image into separate Excel columns using a VBA macro.
The JPEG image filenames are numbered in ascending numerical format (i.e 1.jpeg).
So I have the code that allows me to search for the a certain value in a cell and then copies a certain cell to the other spread sheets. Here is the code that does that
Code:
Sub SearchMacro()
Dim LR As Long, i As Long
With Sheets("Sheet1")
[Code].....
The code will just need to search for the string "HSFL" and I won't have to hard code all the different variations of HSFL as I mentioned above.
I want to write a macro that will copy data from all worksheets of a specified workbook and copy them into a new workbook.
To give some detail, I receive a report each morning containing failed deliveries. I also export a list of failed deliveries from a system (SAP). These reports rarely match so I must compare the two daily. I do this using INDEX and MATCH functions but now my boss wants all the data in a single report so I would like to harness the might of vba to consolodate all the data in one workbook.
The lists of failed deliveries are contained in worksheets marked mon, tue, wed... so I need to search all worksheets for all delivery numbers and copy all of the data into a new book. This becomes complicated because on Monday there is only one tab marked mon, on tuesday there are two (mon & tue), one wednesday there are three and so on.
I have started on some code but I am getting nowhere fast. I have managed to muster an input box which asks for a date (this will be used to search the file path for a file named "failed deliveries & "mm/mm/yyy")
I need a formula (but most likely a VBA macro) that will search through a folder for a file than get data from that file. The files are named in systematic way, but I need the entire formula to work from inputting a mold number in one cell. E.g. I input 6291 in cell A2 the vba macro searches for file “6291 mold.xlsx” and returns a range of numbers as well as pictures in specified cells. Is this possible? If so how?
The closest thing I have found is VBA macro that retrieves a list of media files in a folder, I listed the code below.

My Excel 2010 spreadsheet contains client data like the below:
A
B
C
D
E
What I'm trying to get from this is a personally addressed email with 2 attachments, one will be standard to all recipients and one will be unique and specific to that recipient. The filename of the unique attachment will contain the reference but will have some other stuff in the filename as well on either side that I will not be able to remove.
In terms of the file locations the unique ones will be in subfolders of the folder holding this workbook and the generic one will be in the same folder as the this workbook.This is some adapted code that solved a similar problem (in Excel 2007 though) on a different website.
VB:
Sub Mail_Report()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object [code]....
In that case the file started with the "reference" field but in my case it is in the middle and the formats vary depending on the provider, there will only be a maximum of 5 providers but I would like to avoid 5 different macros if at all possible so I need a search function of some sort.
Column A & B has a list of Supplier Part numbers and Buyer Part numbers as below.
Supplier P/N
Buyer P/N
HGFYE/12
111111
HYEYDH/14
222222
[Code] ..........
Cell D2 is an open cell that any data can be entered into as a search term. What I am trying to do is search for a Supplier P/N that have the characters "H", "G" or "E" in it, so entering "HGE" into cell D2 would display the results into columns F & G as below.
Supplier P/N
Buyer P/N
HGFYE/12
111111
HDGTEY/56
333333
I can easily do a formula for 1 character or a string of characters.
To complicate it further, if the search term has in this example has "YFF", I would like the same formula/code to workout that the result in F & G should show this time
Supplier P/N
Buyer P/N
YHDHFF/58

How do I pause my macro until the user selects a chart in the worksheet? Or Keep prompting a message to the user till he selects the chart and when a chart is selected run the macro.
Step 1: Check if a chart is Selected
Step 2: If yes, run the macro
Step 3: If no, prompt the user with a msgbox of Retry/Cancel.
Step 4: If the user selects Retry, wait till he makes a selection.
Step 5: If the selection is a chart, run the macro. If the selection is not a chart prompt the same msgbox again and keep looping it till he selects a chart.
Sub test5()
Dim chtSelected As Chart
Dim UserResponse As Integer
On Error Resume Next
Set chtSelected = ActiveChart

I have a very long code with multiple functions and operations i.e. it calculate many fields. The normal running time varies from 2 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the data size.
Can any one tell me a way so that I can put a kind of status bar to show the progress or estimated time left? Basically, during operation it looks like excel is hanged and not responding but infact its not.
how do I code in vba for it to wait until the user has checked the file that has been made make a few amendments and then when done one would click OK or resume for the program to carry on with the rest of the code.
View 2 Replies View RelatedBelow is the code I currently have implemented. The first line of code creates a .csv file. The third line of code opens that file. I couldn't put the third line right after the first because it would try to open the file before it was finished being created. Hence, the second line which waits for 5 seconds. Is there a way, either in the CMD or VBA, that I can have it wait until the first line of code has completed?
VB:
Shell "cmd.exe /c M:" & "&& cd DesktopExcel Project" & Command
Application.Wait Time + TimeSerial(0, 0, 5)
Workbooks.Open("M:DesktopExcel ProjectInfo.csv")
If I run this in the editor sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.
If I run this in editor with F8, stepping through the code, it does work.
I can only guess that enough time is passing during the F8 presses that the page can load. But is that not the purpose of adding the wait code?

I'm using a pre-made spreadsheet from my stock broker (Interactive Brokers) that retrieves and displays real-time quotes, and allows one to retrieve historical stock data, among other things. I've created a little macro within it to try and automate some common tasks I do everyday - basically I want to retrieve a year of daily stock quotes for "stock 1" from IB's servers, then have the macro wait for the retrieval to be done and written to the spreadsheet (takes anywhere between 10 and 30 secs). After that's all done, then I want to do the same for "stock 2". Then when that's done, the macro proceeds to go ahead and do some calcs on stock1 and stock2. The problem is after my stock1 data request, the macro just keep on trucking through to the next commands while stock1's data retrival is still going on.
so things are getting all balled up. How can I get my macro to wait until stock1's data retrieval is all done?
My question is if it's possible to change the code and make it work faster. When I change the ComboBox I wait about 1-3 seconds for about 40 items in the Worksheet. I still didn't test it with more items. Here's the

If ComboBox1P2.ListIndex = 0 Then
ComboBox2P2.Style = fmStyleDropDownCombo
ComboBox2P2.Value = sign
ComboBox2P2.Enabled = False
ComboBox3P2.Clear
ComboBox3P2.Enabled = False
ComboBox1P2.SetFocus
ElseIf ComboBox1P2.ListIndex 0 And ComboBox1P2.ListIndex -1 Then
ComboBox2P2.Style = fmStyleDropDownList
ComboBox2P2.Enabled = True...........
When clicking the button on my userform, it goes through a quite complex process of changing the views in several pivot tables that are linked to an "report" sheet, which has all the figures the user needs in a neat format.
Changing these pivot tables takes up to a minute, so I wanted a userform, called "frmwait", to pop when clicking the command button. It would say "Generating Your Report - Please Wait". At the same time, the initial userform, which is called "frmroutedashboard", would be hidden.
This does not happen - the "frmwait" userform shows, however the "frmroutedashboard" does not hide.
Is this because the code I composed uses the values on the "frmroutedashboard" to generate the view, and it cannot hide until the report is completed? If so, there must be a way around this. Anyone know how?
The initial code so far looks like this:
frmroutedashboard.hide
Application.Cursor = xlWait
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayStatusBar = True
Application.StatusBar = "Updating Route Dashboard..."
I thought if it looked like this, it would be sufficient. Unfortunately, the file is too large to attach, so I hope the code suffices.
frmroutedashboard.hide
frmwait.show
Application.Cursor = xlWait
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayStatusBar = True
Application.StatusBar = "Updating Route Dashboard..."
Situation:
At two places in the middle of my code I need to specify a particular variable; usually this is done by some autodection-method, but whenever this fails a userform gets loaded and the user needs to do some clicks which finally specifies that variable.
Problem:
So far my code does NOT wait for the userform (and the user-input), but continues running until it fails, cause that particular variable (see above) had not been initialised with the correct value for this run.
My Question:
How can I force the code to wait until the userform has been closed? Or what other way do you usually solve that problem when wanting to use a userform in mid-code? Below you find the place where I load the User form 'UsrFormSpecifyFormat' ....
when I run a macro, it takes me to a different sheet, clicks on a cell, and then goes to data--> form to automatically generate a form so I can make a new entry. I want the macro to wait until I have completed the form, and on completion to do something else. I'd prefer it if I could indicate completion of the firm by just a keystroke, but a mouse click will do as well.

I am trying to find a formula which will show the date of a potential student on a certain date e.g 1st August 2014

I have a cell that shows the PENDING time from a future event date/time vs Today
eg.
Cell L4 shows the future date/time as 2/2/2013 09:40:00
Cell AM9 shows the current date/time as 02/02/13 09:36:01
Cell N2 contains =IF((L4-AM9)>0,(L4-AM9),"CLOSED")
which either shows the time before expiry as hh:mm:ss or closed
There is another cell (say O2) which is a link to another workbook which either shows NO or YES
What I want to do is to populate another cell with the DELAYED TIME between when cell N2 changes to CLOSED and when cell O2 changes to YES
But I only want to to populate this cell once, at the moment it keeps being updated from Today
how to populate a cell ONCE ONLY

I manage a team in a call centre and deal with lots of reports on excel.
I am dealing with a report on a daily basis that i need to use in order to calculate the total idle time that each of agents have. There are roughly 170 agents.
After I have formatted the cells to hh:mm:ss, the obvious thing to do would be : =(B1-A1)
Is there a way to write a macro (or anything) in order to reapply this to the report on a daily basis? Bearing in mind that this has to be done daily for 170 individual reports. They work a 8am - 5pm shift. So there is an entry every time they make a call.
