View 4 RepliesI have attached a workbook that has 2 documents in it. The first sheet is an inventory list. It is formulated so that when somebody enters amounts in the "Count, Used and Restocked" fields the "Ending Total" shows the final count. I would like this sheet to auto update the "Starting Count" field and erase the "Used" and "Restocked" fields so the next time the document is opened the "Starting Count" would be the same as the "Ending Count" from the last time the document was edited and the "Used" and "Restocked" fields would be blank. I assume this would be done with a Macro but I'm a Noob so I might be wrong.

Also, is it possible to use INDIRECT to reference another workbook?
I 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.

When ever I open a file a message comes up reading "This workbook contains links to other data sources" and then asks me wethere I wasnt to update or not. Well I don't want people to see this when they run a Macro I have created. So what I would like to know is if there is some code that I can add into the macro that will either disable that message or somehow always answer "dont update" everytime that message comes up so that the user wont have to be bothered with it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to remove or disable the message on update to other worksheet " To update all linked click yes......" I have try the following unsuccessfully
Sub auto_open()
Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False
End Sub
On the menu bar choose Edit ---> Links Can not choose manual, as the option is grey out (disable) I would prefer a vba solution, but I am open to anything to get rid of this message
Workbook contains the following sheets : PIR TrackerChartsSAMPLEFINALValidations
When a change occurs on PIR Tracker, the following occurs:
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim Rng As Range
Set Rng = Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A500"))

I also want the pivot tables on SAMPLE and FINAL to be updated. What do I need to do?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue with a worksheet that I created. Apparently, every time that I go to open it, it gives me a Grey blank screen. Yet, I know the worksheet is behind this Grey screen. I went to full screen and I can see the work sheet in full view, but it always opens in this Grey screen. I'm not sure why its doing this, no other worksheets open in this matter. I have tried reinstalling excel and it still didn't fix this problem. But it is only happening with one particular worksheet. I'm sure it is just a setting that I might have changed, but I can't figure it out. The file isn't corrupt because the macros still work, I tested them.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem to use the macro for opening a specific worksheet in a workbook. My plan to setup the workbook to open the first worksheet no matter which worksheet that was last saved and close.
What i have in mind is like below macros but it is not working.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Main").Activate
End Sub
Attached is the sample for the workbook. Test file.xlsm
Anyone who opens my sheet, has to feed his/her name which will be appeared in a particular cell.I am using the below code.

Sub test()
Dim wb As Workbook, wb2 As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet

I wish to send a message when a worksheet is manually opened, but not when it is activated from within VBA.
The following code does not work, and I am open to suggestions
Private Sub Worksheet_Open() ....
I have the following code, which I use to open up a .xls file generated from Crystal Reports:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim fexport1 As String ' variables for the exported file
Dim fexport2 As String
Dim wb1 As String 'variables to change between the opened workbooks
Dim wb2 As String
strTemp = "Please Choose The Exported File"
MsgBox strTemp
fexport1 = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls)")
If InStr(fexport1, "False") = 0 Then
Workbooks.Open fexport1
wb1 = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Else
strTemp = "Operation Canceled"
End If
The problem is that Crystal Reports generates the file with an invalid worksheet name (it contains a backslash) and I do not have access to modify the Crystal Report. Althought the file can be automatically repaired by Excel when manually opened, the macro chokes and the "Application.DisplayAlerts = False" does not fix it. The only solution I can think of is renaming the worksheet without opening the file.
if you open a workbook & choose not to enable macros, is there any way to later change your mind & set macros to enabled without having to close & reopen the workbook?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like the workbook to open to a specific worksheet everytime it is opened regardless of what worksheet it was in when file was saved. Can someone point me in the right direction?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have software that exports to an excel file. The files are one or two page reports. The way the software dumps the reports into excel, it comes out looking pretty rough. The rows and columns aren't spaced very well, the fonts look like garbage, and nobody likes them.
I would like to apply formatting changes to these reports automatically without the end user having to do anything. So as soon as the document is opened up it bolds the column headers, adjusts column widths etc. The reports are auto generated so no formatting can be done when the reports are made.
There may also be different formatting done to different reports. The files will come out named something like, "Report_A_DDMMYYY.xls, Report_B_DDMMYYY.xls," etc. Report A, and Report B will likely need different formatting.
I'm not opposed to using VBA or whatever might be necessary to make this happen. I can learn anything I need to pretty quickly, I just don't know where to start with this.
I have a workbook that contains worksheets whose sheetnames are specific to each day of the month ie: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th, and so on up to 31st. I am trying to write an workbook open procedure to check the day of the month and match it to the relevant worksheet so it will open to that day. for example if opened today being the 25th, i want the code to unhide sheet named 25th and select it, whilst all other sheets bar one is hidden.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a large database, data as rows with individuals each carrying a unique ID code (RING). The database spans over 60 years - individuals are birds with metal rings carrying a unique ID - so some individuals have had their rings replaced (e.g. row 7 in the sample below). My task is take the old ring (C7) and replace any earlier records of the old ring (A3) with the new ring (A7).
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to have an operation run when opening the Workbook. The UserForm opens fine, but I get an error when the GoButton_Click sub runs. The error file is not very comprehensive.
The user is promoted to 'Delete' or 'Cancel' before the sheet is deleted. I do want to select 'Delete' for the user, but I'm not sure how to do this.
The error mentioned occurs after the user selects 'Delete'. The error is:

I know I can update the content of a cell on any sheet from other sheet using for example: =SHEET!$G$22. This works ok for text and numbers, but how to get the same result for a function?
Example: in sheet1, cell B3 I have =SUM(A5:A9). When I modify in sheet1, cell B3: =SUM(A1:A9) I need his formula to change on other sheets as well. How to do that?
Is there a way to renew / update the formula =NOW() without closing & reopening the file??
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a function written in excel written in VBA. The function reads data from a worksheet and uses it in an array to solve based on the variable passed with the function. Now the issue is if I change variable that the are passed with the function it works fine. If, however I update values in the worksheet that the function is using as an array (sort of a look up table) the function doesn't see the change. I have to exit Excel and reopen it to get it to re calculate the function. Is there a better/faster way than continually closing and reopening excel?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with two worksheets, "Main" and "Control".
Both of them are with hidden tabs (unchecked "show sheet tabs").
On worksheet "Main" I have command button which opens worksheet "Control".
The assigned makro is: Sheets("Control").Select
The problem is: when I open "Control" and close after that the workbook, the next time when I open the workbook "Control" pops-up instead of "Main" even though I do not save it.
1. I need macro on "Main" which will allow me to open "Control".
2. Regardless I "Save" or "Don't Save" "Control" when selected and workbook is closed, to open the workbook always displaying worksheet "Main".
I use Excel 2007 (at home) & 2010 (at office).
When you open a sheet, and it brings up the message "this workbook includes links to....etc" & asks you if you'd like to update... is there an event i can use to run some code before the user clicks 'update' ?
