View 6 Replies View RelatedUnhide One Row From Many Hidden Rows
Jun 7, 2007I am trying to create a macro to unhide only a row at a time, from around 150 hidden rows altogether. It is basically to give the effect of adding extra rows to a "table" that a user could then input with new data (I have to do this way according to other set-up in the workbook), but this isn't very important to do with this question. When I do a Format<Row<Unhide from the Excel menu, it always unhides ALL of the hidden rows. I have fiddled around but can't seem to find a way to avoid this happening, all I want is for just one row to unhide. I thought it might depend what cell/s I had highlighted, but I haven't found a way that makes it work.

Aug 21, 2007I HID 4 rows using this help section. (Format - Hide)
Then, I modified several column widths simply by placing my curser at the top of the column and pulling it smaller or larger.
(I don't know if this did or did not cause my problem) which is simply that - I am now unable to find my hidden rows.
I know where they are supposed to be, but when I highlight them and click (Format - Unhide) nothing happens.
I tried (Find and Select - go to special) and no white bar shows up.
Can sombody please tell this frustrated Newby How to find the rows I just hid 1 hour ago?
If I posted in the wrong place, I appologise as I spent more time trying to figure out where and how to post than I did trying to solve my hidden row problem.

Select Range Of Columns And Unhide Any That Are Hidden
Dec 10, 2013I have a macro that allows me to select a range of columns and unhide any that are hidden. I am on the sheet "Employees", but the action happens on the sheet "Enter". I can run this macro when I am on "Employees" and jumps top "Enter" and works exactly as I want it to.
Code:
Sheets("Enter").Select
Columns("B:T").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Range("M8") = Sheets("Employees").Range("B5")
Range("I7").Select
But when I try to run it as part of another macro that begins on "Employees", I get "Run-time error '1004': Select method of Range class failed", and Columns("B:T") is highlighted.
Columns Appear To Be Hidden But Will Not Respond To Unhide Or Width Change
Oct 6, 2013I have just been sent a strange file, which I have attached, on its only sheet columns "A" and "B" have data entered in them, but they are not visible. You can access them if you select column "C" and use the left arrow key, but all attempts at unhiding and changing the column width are fuitless.
I have tried selecting the ENTIRE sheet, then Home>Format>Unhide Columns but it does nothing I try selecting the entire sheet, then Home>Format>Column Width and setting it to something, like "20", but again it is fruitless.
I even tried using a macro in the "Immediate Window" to ask Excel whether the columns are hidden (by using "?Columns(1).Hidden" and it returned "False") then I used a similar macro ("Cells.EntireColumn.ColumnWidth = 12.75") and again - nothing! :O

Format All Cells In All Sheets To Protection Hidden On Visible And Hidden Tabs
Feb 28, 2014I am trying to format all cells on all sheets (hidden or otherwise) as "Locked" so when the sheets are protected the user can't see the formulas. This macro individually selects every sheet in the book and applys the formatting. Is there a way to modify this code to accomplish the same thing without having it actually select every sheet? The only reason it is an issue is that after running the macro you end up on the last sheet in the book.

Very Hidden Sheets Are Very Hidden
Jan 2, 2007i have an old spreadsheet that i created about a year or so ago.
i managed to make some sheets "very hidden" as opposed to just "hidden" or "visible".
the problem is i can't find them ! i have tried "format, sheet, unhide" but that is greyed out.
i do have passwords for them, but i can't find them to put these in!

Mar 14, 2007I want to make a macro where it will use the current filename of the workbook I have open (where is says New Quote Sheet 2.xls below) Is there something I can put where it will use the current filename when the filename is changed?
New Quote Sheet is a read-only template, and when a new quote is started, it is renamed.
Eg.
Application.Run "'New Quote Sheet2.xls'!Part8"
Sheets("8-Part").Select
Sheets("8-Part").Copy After:=Sheets(25)
Sheets("8-Pack").Select
Sheets("8-Pack").Copy After:=Sheets(26)

On Open, I change this setting to True. In the BeforeClose event, I reset it to False, along with all of the Settings that I hosed on Open. All of the other settings get properly saved on exit, however, the IgnoreRemoteRequests is still set to True the next time Excel gets re-opened.

Application.VLookup In VBA
Jun 4, 2008I've probably spent the last 4 hours reading posts from a bunch of different boards as well as this one, and I can't seem to pinpoint my problem. I'm trying to access data from a closed workbook via the following:
'Dim x As Variant
'x = Application.VLookup(Cells(1, 1).Value, Workbooks("C:Documents and SettingsmeMy DocumentsmyOptionsProgramsLiveUpdate.xls").Sheets("LIVE UPDATE").Range("$A$1:$C$5"), 3, False)

Open New Application
May 29, 2009I need a code to open a new Excel Application (Not just a workbook).
eg: say I already have book1.xls opened. Now I want a new excel application (say book2.xls) to be opened. Now, when I close any of the books (by using the cross on top right corner), the other shouldn't be closed.
Usage In Application
Jun 26, 2009done some VBScript spreadsheet reporting involving basically inserting data and some formatting.
I need some advice on what approach to take with Excel on my current project. The basic goal is to scrape project requirements off a word doc and load them into Quality Center (a test management tool from HP, henceforth referred to as QC). I have an hta/vbs process that offers the user choices gleaned from the QC API, scrapes the word doc, and creates a spreadsheet with a row for each requirement and a column for each property a "requirement" has in QC. These values are a combination of data from the word doc and values selected by the user in the preceeding hta interface.
The reason for this Excel step in the process is that all the values chosen up to this point are generic for the entire project. But there are a few properties that will be requirement specific. So all the info is collected in Excel and the user is to then go through each row and choose the "target cycle" (which I pulled off QC earlier in the process and display in Excel as a dropdown list). The "Platform Folder" and the "Module Folder".
Ok, so with that backround, here is my quandry... In the hta interface the user selected all the "Platform Folders" the project will have requirements in. These are then presented in a dropdown in the Excel, so the user can choose which of these Platform Folders this specific requirement should be loaded into. What I need to do is then have the "Module Folders" to be a dropdown that is dependant on the "Platform folder" chosen.
This is difficult enough for me, creating a dynamic dependant dropdown that will be replicated on each row. I don't know exactly how to do this but feel I can probably figure it out with all the help offered on these MVP sites.
What I can't figure out is where to do this. Should I set up the lists, formulas, and control code dynamically? Can these dependant list derive their values from comma delimited lists (like I did the non-dependent lists) or must they be in a worksheet? The only way I see to make the dependent dropdown work correctly is to have it run off a worksheet event. Can worksheet event code be applied dynamically or do I need to have a "template" type workbook containing the code in the application's folder and use that instead of creating a new workbook at exe time? I still have to write the upload into QC code, and that will probably be a macro that the user will have to install into their personal.xls. Can the dependent dropdown code be installed in the same way even though it needs to be event driven? Another aspect is getting the data for the dropdown. I can either get the lists earlier in the process when I already have a connection to QC and pass it along, or I can connect to QC from Excel and get the values dynamically. I am assuming passing them in will be more efficient.

Using Application Events With An Add-In
May 23, 2006I've created an addin to reformat spreadsheets that I receive in a particular format. What I would like to do is enable events so that whenever a spreadsheet is opened the reformatting procedure is run (this also validates whether the spreadsheet is of the correct format).
I have created a class module with the following code (exactly as the Excel help):
Public WithEvents App As Application
Dim X As New EventClassModule
Sub InitializeApp()
Set X.App = Application
End Sub
Private Sub App_WorkbookOpen(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
SortE1Output 'This is my procedure that determines whether the
'spreadsheet is of the correct format and then reformats it
End Sub
"After you run the InitializeApp procedure, the App object in the class module points to the Microsoft Excel Application object, and the event procedures in the class module will run when the events occur."
When I try to make a call to the InitializeApp procedure in the auto_open procedure (in a different non-class module) I get a "compile error: sub or function not defined".

Jun 27, 2007I have created a macro that must extract data from other workbook. It opens the workbook, with an exist, and isopened control, and then open it. Itīs running well, but i found while making another macro, that if the file direction is "http://www.xxx.com:8080/Challange%20Cost%20Proposal%20Sheet.xls", then i cant run the exist control. Next you have the code im using. In the first version, i had .LookIn = ThisWorkbook.Path. Now Iīve tried:
1. Dont put .LookIn, and fName is "http://www.xxx.com:8080/Challange%20Cost%20Proposal%20Sheet.xls"
2. .LookIn = "http://www.xxx.com:8080/"
.FileName = "Challange%20Cost%20Proposal%20Sheet.xls"
Both are failing, it says, the file doesnt exist. If i try directly WorkBooks.Open "http://www.xxx.com:8080/Challange%20Cost%20Proposal%20Sheet.xls", it opens correctly, but i would have a control, because the original file name could change, and the macro would crash if does.

Jan 29, 2014I am working on an Excel macro which uses the Shell function to open another application, the AppActivate statement to change focus to that application, and then a series of SendKeys statements to perform tasks for which keystrokes (hotkeys) are available. However, there is one step in the process which does not have a hotkey available, but requires clicking on a drop-down with the mouse. Is there a way to have an Excel macro "click" on something for which a hotkey is not available?
