Progress Bar To Work While Running The Macro

Jul 6, 2005

I was looking at a previous post to get a progress bar to work while running
a lengthy macro. Below is the post on how to incorporate the progress bar
into your code.

That works fine expect for one thing. There is a cancel button on the progress bar, and when it is pushed the rest of my code continues running. How do I end my code if I press cancel on the progress bar?

Sub Main
Dim PB as clsProgBar
Set PB = new clsProgBar

'if your subs are being called from a userform, hide the form first using
Me.Hide
With PB

.title = "some title"
.caption1 = "Executing, this may take a while"
.caption2 = "Doing task 1"
.show
doevents...................................................

Running Macro Over Multiple XLSX Files

Oct 2, 2013

how to run my Macro over multiple (about 60) .xlsx files. I have been looking around, but haven't quite got anything working yet.

I have all the files in the same folder with similar names (i.e. Subject_01.xlsx, Subject_02.xlsx, etc.).

What I'd like is:

*open Subject_01
*run script (some calculations, copy/pasting, my script for this is working fine)
*save file under a different name (i.e. Subject_01_processed.xlsx)
*close file
*again for Subject_02, Subject_03, etc.

Additionally, I have a second question: after I have the processed .xlsx files, I'd like to copy some cells from each .xlsx file (e.g. A1-H1) to a new file. There, I'd like the data from Subject_01 to for example be in cells A1-H1, from Subject_02 in cells A2-H2, etc.

Running Macro Across Multiple Files In Same Folder

Apr 7, 2009

I would like my macro to go to a certain folder- in this case N:Aexeo ClientsJabre2008Excel Diet Run, open each workbook therein ( to this end I have found the first part of the code below on another thread) and perform the ExcelDietMacro (also below). I am missing something though as nothing is happening, would anyone know from a quick glance what is wrong? Should I have these as 2 seperate Sub End Subs or combined into one? I know that the Excel Diet is correct thanks to the original designer and Rory on the forum for getting it adjusted to my needs.

Also each workbook within the folder will have the same password to open, is it possible to insert some code in the macro to do this automatically?

Sub LoopFiles()
Dim MyFileName, MyPath As String
Dim MyBook As Workbook
MyPath = "N:Aexeo ClientsJabre2008Excel Diet Run"
MyFileName = Dir(MyPath & "*.xls")
Do Until MyFileName = ""
Workbooks.Open MyPath & MyFileName
Set MyBook = ActiveWorkbook
Application.Run "ExcelDietMacro"
MyBook.Save
MyBook.Close
MyFileName = Dir
Loop
End Sub

Sub ExcelDietMacro()
'
' ExcelDietMacro Macro.........................

Macro Running In OS X, Able To Run This Macro On 11 Files At Once

Aug 16, 2006

I have this macro that a friend of mine wrote on a windows machine, and I can't quite figure out the code changes needed for OS X. For someone who knows how to do this, I'm sure it would only take a second, but I've been banging my head against the wall on this thing for too long.

Option Base 1
Sub Data_Compiler()
Dim FileSelected
Dim FileName
Dim CompiledDataArray(1 To 30, 1 To 53) ' Array to store our statistics
Dim Counter1 As Integer
Counter1 = 1
FileSelected = Application. GetOpenFilename("Your Files,*.xls", , "Select Files", , True)
If StrComp(TypeName(FileSelected), "boolean", vbTextCompare) = 0 Then Exit Sub
For Each FileName In FileSelected
Application.DisplayAlerts = False................

I can get a "open files" dialogue box to pop up, but I can't figure out how to make sure that multiselect is enabled. I need to be able to run this macro on 11 files at once.

Add-In To Work For Different Files

Jun 2, 2006

I have created an Add-In and hard-coded the file name assuming that it will be used with a specific file called, let's say, Data_Approval_Project.xls (where Project would change for a praticular Project name, e.g. Data_Approval_Alpha1.xls,

Data_Approval_Beta1.xls). Then I would just need to manually change the path and the file name in the Add-In for a specific user group.

Now I am presented with the case of a " Multiple Project - One User", where the same user will have to work on Alpha1 and Beta1 projects using the same Add-In (which actually accounted only for one of the projects). Is there any easy way to get this fixed?

I was thinking about adding an Input box, asking which project user wants to work on, then write the answer somewhere in the workbook, and find and open the file using something like the "Data_Approval_" & the reply of the input box string command.

Open All Excel Files In Directory - Code Doesn't Work For One Specific Path

Feb 8, 2014

I have my code here:

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.

Macro Stops Running The Macro Completely And Hangs In The Middle

Jul 3, 2007

Here in our department we made a pretty elaborate macro that takes a report and sorts them out to 17 different sheets in a one workbook. This Macro pulls a file from a specific location on our server and then opens the CSV sorts it out color codes all the important information and saves it back onto the server under you specific initials.

They are four PC's along with our Managers laptop that run this Macro daily.

About 3 weeks ago my Managers laptop stops running the Macro completely and hangs in the middle of the whole thing. Eventually crashing Excel.

We try to remove the modules and re-import them back into the personal macro workbork but this does not work. The Macro's did not change and still fully function on the other four desktops to this day.

I uninstall Office on my Managers laptop and reinstall. Import the Modules again and still hangs up in very same spot it did 3 weeks ago.

I've tried to lower the macro security to the lowest level also and I've still had no luck with this laptop. I don't understand. The Macro's function perfectly on other PC's but will not function on this laptop.

Macro Doesn't Work On Button, But Fine From Macro Menu!

Dec 15, 2008

I've recorded a macro that copies an entire tab into a new spreadsheet then goes on the copy and paste information from one tab to another.

When I run the macro from the Tools>Macros menu it works perfectly.
But when I copy the code and add it to that of a button it fails and posts the following error: Run-time error '1001': Select method of Range class failed.

The first attachement shows the code for the macro as it is alone, and the second shows how I simply copied and pasted it into the 'view code' window of the button.

Needless to say I'm a beginner at macros and only every record them, I can usually make stuff work that way but this has me stumped!

Macro Not Work On Another Tab

Feb 4, 2009

To run a macro from the first tab of the workbook but have it do it work on another tab.

In the workbook in question I have a tab called "input" were certain information in updated and is linked or used in formulas on other tabs. Some of the tabs have macros that do various functions. I would like to set up one macro button on the "input" tab that would run the macros on the other tabs instead of having to run each one individually from its own tab.

Below is on of the macros that I would like to run from the "input" tab and have it update the "AP Accrual" tab

Sub CopyPriorMonthAccruals()
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=EOMONTH(Input!R[5]C,-1)"
Columns("L:L").Select
Selection.Copy
Columns("Y:Y").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("B3").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=EOMONTH(Input!R[5]C,0)"................................

Running A Macro On Save?

Apr 10, 2014

I'm trying to get a macro to run when the user presses the save button. I have the following code:

[Code] .......

This code is supposed to apply the TRIM function to every worksheet in the workbook when the user presses save, and the saves the results. I understand the Private Sub bit is the code to have the macro run during the save, but for some reason the macro itself isn't actually running. I'm not getting any error message, its just that the cells which should have the TRIM function applied to them aren't being corrected.

Running Private Sub From A Macro

Mar 17, 2014

I have 3 different sheets with a private sub on each all labelled

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

The macro's runs fine on each page.

I want to put a macro on a separate sheet that i can run each of those macro's

I did initially copy the original private macro and change the

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

to

sub report()

But I couldn't do all 3 in the same manner. i did change each name to something different... the other 2 subs did run, but they didn't do anything except put the massage box on the end saying that "the macro has finished".

The private macros are on sheets 26, 28 and 12.

Running Macro In Different Workbooks

Mar 25, 2014

I have 7 different workbooks as part of my daily routine.

At present the first workbook is opened via the task scheduler, and the macro is run using the following code

[Code] .....

This then opens the next workbook and closes the current one. The next workbook then runs its macro again from a timed call

[Code] ...........

This repeats for 7 workbooks. The problem is, if a macro overruns - the whole schedule is out of sync when macro's are called depending on the time. What I would like to do, is link each macro by calling for the next one, and closing the current workbook. However, when i have tried to do this, the macro has always stopped when the workbook has been closed - the next macro doesn't run.

Slow Running Macro

Oct 3, 2007

Below is the entire code that I am using. It is a simple routine which checks whether a part has started its release process or not, based upon dates. The code works and does what I want.

The problem that I have is that it is very slow, for example it takes 35 seconds to go through 530 lines items. In my (limeted) experiance, based on other VBA doodlings this slow.

Running A Macro From A Different Workbook

Dec 18, 2008

I have 2 workbooks (Workbook1 and Workbook2).

Workbook 1 contains a button, that calls a macro. This macro calls a macro from Workbook 2.

For this, I am using the Application.Run function.

The Macro in Workbook2 is a simple one line macro that updates cell A2 to a value of 6.

Range("A2").Value = 6

This works fine!

However, I want the the cell A2 in WORKBOOK1 to change to 6, not the cell in Workbook 2.

To add an element of difficulty, Workbook 1 could have any name (I won't know what it is, as the user could change it).

How can I get the Macro in Workbook 2 (Called from Workbook1), to update the cells in Workbook 1.

Confirmation Box Before Running A Macro

Apr 8, 2009

How do I ask for a confirmation box before running a macro, but only one time. What I mean is some of the macros I use loop and it wouldn't be practical to click on "ok" for each time the macro ran.

So again I just need some code to tack on to the beginning of a couple of my macros that will ask me before they run but only once.
