I currently use a spreadsheet to track my work and I would like help automating some of the functions. I don't want to use macros if at all possible. I have some formulas but it doesn't do enough.
what i do is audit other peoples work and send out error notifications when needed. i use the spreadsheet to help me tack the status of the error notifications. when I send out an error notification the auditee has up to 3 chances to rebut the error so i need to keep track of where the follow up lies and when the error is finally accepted or removed (process completed).
I would like column U to tell me where we are in the process...
1.notification sent (by the auditor)
2.reply received (either accepted or 1st level removal request by the auditee)
3a. if error accepted- process complete
3b. if removal request-notifcation sent(by the auditor - error removed or error remains)
4.if still an error(following 3b) - reply received (either accepted or 2nd level removal request by the auditee)
5a. if error accepted- process complete
5b. notification sent (by the 2nd level reviewer - either error removed or error remains)
6.if still an error(following 5b) - reply received (either accepted or 3rd level removal request by the auditee)
7a. if error accepted- process complete
7b. notification sent (by the 3rd level reviewer - either error removed or error remains) & process complete (3rd reviewer decision is final)
I would like the V column to be the "date of last action"
since the notification bounces between people, i need to know who is currently responsible for followup & how long they've been sitting on the work. i would like the date to populate based on the manually inputed fields where I input sent & received dates for each level of action.
the spreadsheet is too wide for the post so i will put it on a website...
http://public.box.net/kingerick89367
the columns are all titled and all manually inputed except for column U which is the one that I want to autopopulate with the current status of the error notification. the formula is a IF statement but due to the 7 formula limitation It came out too simple. it's better than nothing but I want it to be more specific.
I have a spreadsheet that is being used for tracking work completed each day in a week. Each day has 5 columns and 10 rows of data to potentially be entered, some of the data is text and some is numerical. Can anyone help me come up with a formula that will count the text and the numerical entries for each day? I tried to use a nested if statement but it exceeded the number of nestings available. The range of cells for the first group is B6:F16.
As a side question, will count work for a range of data or only one column or row at a time?
I want column J to reflect the total amount of all trades which were open at the time the trade on the row is closed.
(the data is sorted according to closed trade times).
So while the trade on row 4 is the first trade to close, there were other trades also open prior to the closing. I need to show the total amount in column E of all trades which were open during the time window that the trade on row 4 was open.
I understand that vba can determine if the current file is read-only using the following to return true / false. GetAttr(ThisWorkbook.Path) And vbReadOnly
which seems to work fine for determining if the file is read-only, as there is another instance of the file already open. However when opening a file straight from a zipped directory (i.e. not extracting the file first), Excel opens the file as read-only. The above code returns false in this instance, i guess because the workbook path has a .zip ending rather than the normal .xls etc endings. how to return true that the zip file is read-only?
I have some vba code that currently copies a status table out of a worksheet, into a temp file for an email. The status table in excel has a column D which can have different status. I want to select everything in the table except rows that are 'Descoped'. Currently my code looks like:
Set rng2 = Sheets("Execution Status").Range("B2:F420")
This picks up everything without looking at the status. I want to change it so it doesn't pick up the rows where Column D contains 'Descoped'.
In pseudo code I would describe it as:
Set rng2 = Sheets("Execution Status").Range("B2:F420") where value in D5:D420 is not equal to 'Descoped'.
I have tried:
Set rng2 = Sheets("Execution Status").Range("B2:F420").Value "Descoped" and nothing gets selected.
When I first open a workbook most of the functions don't work. for example the vertical scroll bar does not move. When I close the workbook and then reopen it for the second time it works fine.
Code: Sub Macro1() ' Sheets("Log").Select Range("F1").Copy For Each wb In Workbooks If wb.Name Like "Test Book*" Then wb.Activate Sheets("Data").Select Range("O2").Select ActiveSheet.Paste
[code].....
can't get it to work properly...Basically I want the code to copy the date in cell F1 of the 'Log' sheet in Workbook 'Main' - then goto an open Workbook called 'Test Book' (note: this Test Book is a partial string name used hence the other code around it) and paste the copied date into cell O2 in sheet 'Data'
Using this pasted date in cell O2 carry out the required filter function.
The copy/paste of the date from my Workbook Main to Test Book isn't working so the code then shows error when trying to filter the data using the pasted date.
Problem: I have textbox entries that are part of a Userform that opens using a macro on a speadsheet button. Once this form is open, I can no longer actively work in the spreadsheets.
Need: I need a way to minimize or "put on hold" the Userform so that I can freely move around in the spreadsheet. This could be in the form of a button on the Userform. Then, I need a way to bring back this userform to the point I was at before being put on hold so that I can continue to input entries into the textboxes (again, a buttton that could bring it back). There should be a way to toggle between both worlds.
I'm writing a program on VBA for Excel and I've succeeded in just displaying the Userform when opening the file. I have set the ActiveWindow.Visible option to False and the Application.Visible one to false as well so that i only have the user form displayed.
However, if i try to open an excel file via "My Computer", the file doesn't open. I also noticed that when I was leaving the application.visible option to True, i couldn't access the application while the userform was running. I think i need to do something with an event, but i can't find the event corresponding to opening a file oustide Excel.
I am trying to simultaneously use two Excel workbooks that are open at the same time--one is calculations--other is data scenarios...one worksheet = one scenario: A macro uses "Set" to specify workbooks for "current_wb" and "wbkFrom". Code here
Set current_wb = ThisWorkbook Dat_Fil = Application. GetOpenFilename Workbooks.Open Dat_Fil Set wbkFrom = Application.ActiveWorkbook
NOTE-Workbook object variables are declared outside any macro, and as "public." Code here
Public current_wb As Workbook Public wbkFrom As Workbook
In a second macro I want to use the Current_wb and wbkFrom object variables I set in first macro, but get the following error: "object variable or With block variable not set" for any of the following statements in the second macro
I've declared the object variables as public in a different code module where there is no other code; I've tried declaring as public at the top of the code module that has my macros, but declared at top of code module and outside any macro; I've tried declaring the object variables as "static" variables (instead of "public") within the first macro. I can't figure this out.
Created a new tab and menu buttons on the Ribbon in Excel in 3 separate .xltm files. Everything worked great through all of the development and testing, but when we went live we got reports of a bug. Here is what is happening...
User opens the template file and immediately saves it as a .xlsm file with a new name in a new location. The user then does various amounts of work in the file. When the user needs to use one of the tools on the custom tab, it is as if the buttons are inactive or not associated with any actions. The tab and buttons are all visible, the animation of the button being pressed works when any of the buttons are clicked, but nothing happens. The user can close and reopen the file and the ribbon buttons will work correctly, but not until they close and reopen.
Upon digging into the problem, we found that if the user clicks on the custom tab before they save the file, all of the buttons will work correctly after the save. But if the tab is not activated before the save, they dont work until a close and reopen.
The XML code is good because if I place it in a add on file (.xlam) and trigger it from the main file, there is no problem. But this is not a good solution since the add on file needs to be located in the same file that the main file is run from which can be any number of places.
VB: Sub openfiles()Dim Path As String Dim ExcelFile As String ' Path = GetFolder("C:UsersKinteshDesktop") Path = "C:UsersKinteshDesktopVBA programmingMaps" ExcelFile = Dir(Path & "*.xls")
[Code] ....
NextCode: GetFolder = sitem Set fldr = Nothing End Function
My problem is that the code all actually works (including the function and when I use the commented part), but pointing to this one specific directory (the one I'm using right now), literally nothing happens.
i need to work out a formula for my spreadsheet which I use to work out cutting lists for timber frames. I need it to work out if the width of a job is for eg 2400mm i need to work out how many timber studs I need so the space between each stud is between 400mm and 500mm and this will need to work for a range of different sizes of frames. I have it written at the moment and it just devides the width by 400 and gives me a amount of studs but it would work much better if it could space them between 400 & 500.
In a project i am compiling i need to work accurately with times to calculate the work progress of the people in the workshop thus....here goes....
I have in work book #1 (7) sheets mon to fri + complete week + a sheet where all job numbers are collected.
From monday to friday the workmen log their times as a start time and a end time. This has to be then calculated to a total hours:mins spent per job, wich in turn then has to be calculated to a total hours:mins spent per day. And the on the complete week sheet recalculated as a total time worked per week.
I am looking to track changes on a "Log" sheet throughout an entire workbook. The following code (found here and given below) will give me:
The cell . The date/time it was changed . What the new content in that cell is
The two points I would like it to include, in order of importance, is: The name of the worksheet that cell exists in. The user that made that change*Bonus points* a hyperlink that'll bring me to the worksheet that was edited.
VB: Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range) Dim r As Long, OutSht As Worksheet Application.EnableEvents = False Set OutSht = Sheets("Log")
I have a worksheet that has multiple units listed on it. Each unit has a materials used list with quantities. I want to reference this column to another sheet and get a total materials needed list and also reference it to my inventory and subtract that number from my materials on hand. how can I do this?
So far I was able to find solutions to all of my small problems with excel just by searching here but with this one I need help and ideas how can it be done differently.
We need to track inventory from when its taken, when it was installed and we need to know every month when inventory is counted how much do we have on hand in our truck....
I'd like to make a vba macro in excel which will be just like "Track changes" feature. I'd like to track changed cells and when and who did it. (Date, User, Cell, Last value, New value). It is important to make a report in separate worksheet and automatically fill this worksheet when the user save changes.
Aaron Blood has created an excellent DDE Change Tracking.
The file is in the download area of [url]
The macro, in the xls file, archive the data from top (a1) to the End of the worksheet.
I want invert the way to file/archive the data… copying all the cells already filled, a cell down and filing the top ( A1...) with the last DDE value (In the TracK sheets).
How can I do that?
The primary code is:
Sub Change_Tracker(Watch As String, TrackOn As String)
Dim NextCell As Range, r As Double, c As Double
With Worksheets(TrackOn) r = .Rows.Count Set NextCell = .Cells(r, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) End With
I manage a small motel with 6 rooms and I'm trying to write a simple program to track my customer reservations including their details. All the commercial software is too elaborate and way out of my price range. I'm slowly learning excel but this has proved beyond my capabilities.
I want to create a spreadsheet that I can export my transactions from my credit card onto -- is there a way to make it so that the transactions that haven't been covered by my most recent payment(s) are red, while the ones that are paid are green without manually going through & doing it? I know there's the IF, TRUE, FALSE formulas, but I'm confused on how to use them.
Basically, if I spend $1,000 between 5 transactions and make a $400 payment, I want the oldest transactions totalling up to $400 to turn green, while the remaining are stay red until a new payment is posted.
I have a spreadsheet i would like to have changes tracked to automatically. I know it's only a matter of clicking a few buttons to get this to happen, but i was wondering if there is a way to have excel do this by default when i open the file. I would also like to have the changes highlighted automatically.
I want to type status update for an action - then when I press enter it should automatically as soon as I press enter:
- cut the text I typed from the cell leaving it blank - move to the target cell (its in the same row) and "add" that text string (with a date stamp added) to the text already in the target cell.
Every day I type an update against the action in the first cell - and I press enter - it should copy that text into the target cell.
That way I have a complete history of updates against the action with date stamps.
Sounds pretty simple but I don't know where to start.
Example of a simple worksheet attached : Tracker.xls
I have a spreadsheet that can't be password protected but this doesn't mean just anyone should be accessing it. Is there a way to record who opens it and when? Ideally I could place some code into the spreadsheet that recorded on a sheet who has opened it and when. This will detract certain nosy people from accessing it!
I am using excel as point of sale book (to record customer name, service, and total price etc.) at our hair salon. We have employees that may be there to manage alone from time to time, and enter clients into excel. Our worry is straight forward, and involves them erasing what they wrote. I am confident that the actual service and price is entered at the beginning, but want to track their changes to their own entries.
The "track changes" would work if it "tracked changes" after entry. But it seems to track the last change from saving. For example....the employee enters $40.25 presses enter--after she knows she can get away with a change, she may erase it altogether or change it to say $16.75.
I own a restaurant and have a inventory list. I track the price of a specific item in column E, and want to record the date i modify column E in column D. So, I change E5, I want D5 to say the date.
