VBA .ShowAllData fails when a Chart Sheet is active - excel

I have the code below attached to a button on a userform in Excel. There are other parts of the code that perform advanced filtering and I use the code below to clear the filter before re-applying the filter, to make it run much faster. It works just fine as long as wsDataSchool is the active sheet or some other sheet is active. However, if there is a CHART sheet active before I click the button then I get an error saying ShowAllData failed. This is super weird and I can't find anything about it. Any ideas as to why this is happening or how to fix it?
If wsDataSchool.FilterMode = True Then
wsDataSchool.ShowAllData
End If

Add a test maybe then. This tests if current sheet is a chart sheet and if so then activates the target sheet by codename.
Option Explicit
Public Sub test()
If wsDataSchool.FilterMode Then
Select Case ActiveSheet.Type
Case -4167
wsDataSchool.ShowAllData
Case Else
wsDataSchool.Activate
wsDataSchool.ShowAllData
End Select
End If
End Sub
Although ugly, if you then need to return to a Chart sheet if in a chart sheet you could as follows:
Public Sub test1()
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Dim ws As Chart
If wsDataSchool.FilterMode Then
Select Case ActiveSheet.Type
Case -4167
wsDataSchool.ShowAllData
Case Else
Set ws = ActiveSheet
wsDataSchool.Activate
wsDataSchool.ShowAllData
ws.Activate
End Select
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
End Sub

VBA - Using go back button shows data from first sheet

I have an Excel that functions as a sort of decision tool, where questions are being asked and one needs to navigate through the workbook with buttons.
I have made a macro to function as a "go back" button, which activates the previously active sheet and hides the one you are on now. It works, but it keeps showing the navigation buttons from the first sheet. The text from the correct sheet does appear. If I go to another sheet and back, the data appears correct.
Is there a way to refresh the sheet so the correct information shows up, or is this a problem to do with the buttons and the macros behind them?
The macro I have used for the go back button:
(in workbook):
Sub Workbook_SheetDeactivate(ByVal sh As Object)
LastSheet = sh.Name
End Sub
(in module):
Global LastSheet As String
Sub goback()
Sheets(LastSheet).Visible = True
Sheets(LastSheet).Activate
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
With ws
If .Name <> "BM" Then
.Range("H9:R31").Font.Color = RGB(255, 255, 255)
End If
End With
Next ws
Sheets(LastSheet).Visible = False
End Sub
Even though there are no calculations, I did try including ActiveSheet.EnableCalculation but that did nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe I am reading this incorrectly but is the issue that the buttons are not dissapearing? if so this may help:
Sub hidebutton()
Dim sh As Shape
For Each sh In Sheet1.Shapes
If sh.Name = "Button 1" Then
sh.Visible = True
End If
Next
End Sub

How do I allow only myself to view a spreadsheet but everyone else can only a userform?

Trying to work out how only I can see the work book and everyone else can see the userform, based on network username.
Here's what I've got so far:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.Visible = False
UtilitiesReportingTool.Show
End Sub
You'll need a couple of things to stop your users looking at your worksheets - and these can easily be broken with a little knowledge.
Create a sheet with big text saying "Please enable macros"
Very hide all sheets except the macro enable sheet.
Create these two procedures in a normal module
Sub StartUp()
Dim wrkSht As Worksheet
If Environ("username") <> "CAES_MATT" Then
Application.Visible = False
UtitlitiesReportingTool.Show
Else
For Each wrkSht In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
wrkSht.Visible = xlSheetVisible
Next wrkSht
End If
End Sub
Sub ShutDown()
Dim wrkSht As Worksheet
For Each wrkSht In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
Select Case wrkSht.CodeName
Case "Sheet1" 'This should really be shtMacroEnable or something.
wrkSht.Visible = xlSheetVisible
Case Else
wrkSht.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End Select
Next wrkSht
End Sub
In your Workbook_Open event add this code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
StartUp
End Sub
In your UserForm_Terminate event add this:
Private Sub UserForm_Terminate()
Application.Visible = True
ShutDown
End Sub
When you open the workbook only the 'Enable Macros' sheet will be visible if macros aren't enabled.
When macros are enabled the form is displayed, unless it's you in which case all the sheets are unhidden.
When the form is closed everything except the sheet with codename Sheet1 is hidden.
I may have missed something ... heading home.

Using VBA userform to select ranges on multiple sheets - sheet changes back to original activesheet

I have a userform which has multiple RefEdit controls. I need the user to select ranges from multiple sheets and the userform has to be complete before the rest of the code can run.
Issue: The activesheet is "Sheet1" when the userform is initiated. Each time I select a range on "Sheet2" and click into the next RefEdit the visible Excel sheet returns to "Sheet1". I'd like the sheet to remain on "Sheet2", since clicking between the sheets significantly increases the time it takes to select the data.
Because I need the userform to be completed before continuing with my code, using "vbModeless" doesn't appear to work.
I've tried to step through the userform events which appeared to be relevant but none were activated when I entered the RefEdit, selected the data, or left the RefEdit.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Edit: Using some input from the responses and doing some more research I think I've figured out the problem and a work around.
RefEdit events such as Change or Exit (I tried all of them I think) don't appear to trigger when a change occurs in the control. So I couldn't write code to manipulate the activesheet when I changed the control. A workaround found here: http://peltiertech.com/refedit-control-alternative/ uses a textbox and inputbox to simulate a RefEdit control and will actually trigger when changes are made! Code is below. To add other "RefEdit" controls you should repeat the code in the Userform_Initialize event for each control, then add another TextBox1_DropButtonClick and update TextBox1 to the name of the new control. In use when the control updates the workbook jumps to the previous activesheet and then returns the desired activesheet. Not as smooth as I'd like but much better than it was.
Code:
Private Sub CancelButton_Click()
Unload Me
End
End Sub
Private Sub OKButton_Click()
UserForm1.Hide
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_QueryClose(Cancel As Integer, CloseMode As Integer)
End
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.TextBox1.DropButtonStyle = fmDropButtonStyleReduce
Me.TextBox1.ShowDropButtonWhen = fmShowDropButtonWhenAlways
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_DropButtonClick()
Dim ASheet As String ' Active sheet
Me.Hide
'Use input box to allow user to select a range
On Error Resume Next
Me.TextBox1.Value = Application.InputBox("Select the range containing your data", _
"Select Chart Data", Me.TextBox1.Text, Me.Left + 2, _
Me.Top - 86, , , 0)
On Error GoTo 0
'Check if there is a sheet name - if the range selected is on the activesheet the output of the inputbox doesn't have a sheet name.
If InStr(1, Me.TextBox1.Value, "!", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then ' there is a sheet name
ASheet = Replace(Split(Me.TextBox1.Value, "!")(0), "=", "") ' extract sheet name
Else ' there is no sheet name
Me.TextBox1.Value = "=" & ActiveSheet.Name & "!" & Replace(Me.TextBox1.Value, "=", "") ' add active sheet name to inputbox output
ASheet = ActiveSheet.Name
End If
Worksheets(ASheet).Activate ' set the active sheet
Me.Show
End Sub
Have you tried something as simple as:
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
somewhere in the beginning of your form code ?
Since you haven't posted your code, it's hard to provide a good answer.
Hope this helps a little :)
This form module worked for me.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() 'Cancel Button
Unload Me
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() 'GO Button
Dim newSheet As Worksheet
abc = Split(RefEdit1.Value, "!")
cbn = abc(0)
Unload Me
Set newSheet = Worksheets(abc(0))
newSheet.Activate
End Sub

Creating multiple Macro buttons to show/hide specific worksheets

New here and I just started to teach myself coding. I have a workbook that has roughly 14 tabs/worksheets for employees to enter their hours worked per day. On a "Summary" tab and want to create a macro button for each employee to click on to view his/her tab. These employee tabs are hidden and all I want the action to do is unhide and then hide when the employee clicks their button.
Unfortunately, I receive an Ambiguous Error message and I created a module per employee. I assume I need to somehow "stack" code, but again am totally new to coding. Below is a sample of my code
Private Sub ShowHideWorksheets()
Sheets("EMPLOYEE 1").Visible = Not Sheets("EMPLOYEE 1").Visible
End Sub
you need to correctly put it behind a button. When you insert the button into the page, right click it and assign macro. The code would look like
Sub Button1_Click()
Sheets("EMPLOYEE 1").Visible = Not Sheets("EMPLOYEE 1").Visible
End Sub
Basically you wish to toggle visibility for a worksheet.
Assuming that you know which Sheet is going to be triggered, it is something like this:
Public Sub TriggerSheetVisibility(worksheetname as string)
Dim ws as WorkSheet
On Error Resume Next 'To avoid subscript out of range error if a worksheetname is passed that doesn't exit
Set ws = Worksheets(worksheetname)
On Error Goto 0
If Not ws Is Nothing Then 'Only when the worksheet exists, we can execute the rest of this sub:
If ws.Visible = True then
ws.Visible = False
Else
ws.Visible = True
End If
End If
End Sub
Also see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff197786.aspx
This is also an acceptable approach? Prolly long winded though
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim sheet As Worksheet
For Each sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
If sheet.Name <> CommandButton1.Caption Then
sheet.Visible = False
End If
If sheet.Name = CommandButton1.Caption Then
sheet.Visible = True
End If
Next sheet
End Sub
However I like this better due to the fact you only need one button
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim sheet As Worksheet
For Each sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
If sheet.Name <> Environ("USERNAME") Then
sheet.Visible = False
End If
If sheet.Name = Environ("USERNAME") Then
sheet.Visible = True
End If
Next sheet
End Sub
If you change Private to Public it should work. I'm presuming you're just creating macros at this point to get base functionality to work. You can hide (as the code you've posted) and unhide like this:
' This first macro actually just makes the worksheet visible and then
' invisible each time you execute it - so I'm not sure if
' that's what you're after
Public Sub ShowHideWorksheets()
Sheets("EMPLOYEE 1").Visible = Not Sheets("EMPLOYEE 1").Visible
End Sub
' If it's invisible you can do this.
Public Sub ShowWorksheets()
Sheets("EMPLOYEE 1").Visible = True
End Sub
' Basically that should give you an idea of how to proceed.

VBA Macro To Select Same Cell on all Worksheets

I'm somewhat newer to VBA, and this particular action seems like it may be out of my current scope of knowledge.
Is there a way to code VBA to have it actively select the same cell on all worksheets as the current cell selected? I have a model I've put together to allow my team to enter data simultaneously regarding product SKUs in Column A on Sheet1, but due to the large amount of information that we enter per item, I used multiple sheets
For example, if I have cell H4 selected on Sheet1, is it possible to have all other sheets active cell H4 upon switching to the other worksheets?
This is what I've come up with so far on a test workbook, but it does not seem to work:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Select Case LCase(Sh.Name)
Case Is = "sheet1", "sheet2", "sheet3"
If CurRow > 0 Then
With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.Goto Sh.Cells(CurRow, CurCol), Scroll:=True
Sh.Range(ActCellAddr).Select
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End If
End Select
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Select Case LCase(Sh.Name)
Case Is = "sheet1", "sheet2", "sheet3"
CurRow = ActiveWindow.ScrollRow
CurCol = ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn
ActCellAddr = ActiveCell.Address
End Select
End Sub
I've located this code below:
Excel VBA code to allow the user to choose the same cell on every sheet
But this requires the user actually enter the cell they'd like to have selected. I am looking for it to be automatic.
Any tips or suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated.
You can post the following to every sheet in your workbook.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Set CurrWS = ActiveSheet
For Each WS In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
WS.Activate
WS.Range(Target.Address).Select
Next
CurrWS.Activate
End Sub
Every time you select a cell, it will cycle through all the worksheets and select the same cell there. The downside to this is obvious: if you have too many sheets, it's going to be tedious. The other problem is that it's going to cycle through everything. So it might mess up some other sheets if you're going to use this for data entry.
Otherwise, if it's just selecting the cell, then this is harmless though the flicker can be noticeable at times, based on how many sheets you have.
Not as elegant as one would want, but it works. Good luck and let us know if this helps.
Worth noting there is a workbook-level event handler which handles the same event, so you only need to add the code once to the ThisWorkbook code module:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, _
ByVal Target As Range)
Sh represents the ActiveSheet.
Probably also worth disabling events while you're selecting the ranges on the other sheets, or that will re-trigger your event handler (don't forget to turn event handling back on before exiting your code!)
This approach will test for hidden sheets. It selects all non-hidden sheets, selects the target cell then returns to the original sheet. It works pretty fast even if you have many many tabs.
targetcell = ActiveCell.Address
OriginSheet = ActiveSheet.Name
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Sheets
If ws.Visible = True Then ws.Select (False)
Next ws
range(targetcell).Select
Sheets(OriginSheet).Select
