Timer or Code not sticking to schedule - excel

I have code where I am accessing an xml feed for live currency data. I need to capture the price every 3 minutes, and it has to be pretty spot on, otherwise it will throw off the other calculations.
I set up a timer to run the code every 3 minutes, or whatever interval I choose.
I started noticing slippage, which was a second or two at first but has turned into 10 seconds in places. Any thoughts?
Sub xmlData()
Dim aSwitch As String: aSwitch = Sheet2.[Switch].Value
Dim aSymbol As String: aSymbol = Sheet2.[Symbol].Value
'check [switch] status
If aSwitch = "OFF" Then
MsgBox "Switch is OFF!", vbCritical, "Program Status"
Exit Sub
End If
'MsgBox "Program is ON!", vbCritical, "Program Status"
'refresh xml data
Dim iMap As XmlMap
Set iMap = ActiveWorkbook.XmlMaps(1)
iMap.DataBinding.LoadSettings "http://****.com/webservice/v1/symbols/" & aSymbol & "/quote"
iMap.DataBinding.Refresh
'dim inputs
Dim aStart As String: aStart = Sheet2.Range("c3").Text
Dim aInterval As String: aInterval = Sheet2.Range("d3").Text
Dim aStatus As String: aStatus = Sheet2.[Status].Value
'oth
Dim aSecurity As String: aSecurity = Sheet2.[Security].Value
Dim aPrice As String: aPrice = Sheet2.[Price].Value
Dim aDatetime As String: aDatetime = Sheet2.[DateTime].Value
'separate adatetime
Dim aDate As String: aDate = Mid(aDatetime, 1, 10)
Dim aTime As String: aTime = Mid(aDatetime, 12, 10)
'Time actual
Dim aTimeNow As String: aTimeNow = Format(Now(), "HH:mm:ss")
'copy xml data to table
Dim aRow As Long
aRow = Sheet2.Cells.Find(What:="*", SearchOrder:=xlRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, LookIn:=xlValues).Row + 1
Sheet2.Cells(aRow, 1).Value = aDate
Sheet2.Cells(aRow, 2).Value = aTime
Sheet2.Cells(aRow, 3).Value = aSecurity
Sheet2.Cells(aRow, 4).Value = aPrice
Sheet2.Cells(aRow, 5).Value = aTimeNow
'start timer for reload
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue(aInterval), "xmlData"
End Sub
EDIT 160627
Is it possible the XML is not fetching right away?

Calculate the scheduled time in absolute terms, rather than as a differential from Now. (Now will always be some amount of time after the last scheduled time, so will always creep)
Sub xmlData()
Static ScheduleTime As Variant ' Statis retains value between executions
Dim aInterval As String
' other code
' ...
If ScheduleTime = 0 Then
' initialise on first execution
ScheduleTime = Now + TimeValue(aInterval)
Else
' schedule based on last scheduled time
' this assumes execution time is always less than interval
ScheduleTime = ScheduleTime + TimeValue(aInterval)
End If
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue(aInterval), "xmlData"
End Sub

Sort Excel worksheets based on name, which is a date

So I've got this Excel workbook that has some macro's. Users are presented with a button to either create a worksheet with the current date as name, or enter a date manually and that worksheet will be created.
Now the issue: The worksheet has two sheet ('Initial' and 'Version') that must be first and last. However, all worksheets created in between should be sorted on date everytime a new sheet is created. And I mean sorted on date, the sheets are 'DD-MM-YY' so e.g. I could have names like '1-11-21', '2-11-21', '11-11-21' and '21-11-21' in the same workbook and it should be sorted ascending.
Any suggestions? A normal sort just messes things up I found (1-11-21 and 11-11-21, followed by '2-11-21' and '21-11-21'....
Thanks,
Jasper
Sorting sheets of a workbook is rather easy, there a numerous examples out there, looking more or less like this:
Sub SortSheets(Optional wb As Workbook = Nothing)
If wb Is Nothing Then Set wb = ActiveWorkbook ' (or maybe ThisWorkbook)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Long, j As Long
For i = 1 To wb.Worksheets.Count - 1
For j = i + 1 To wb.Worksheets.Count
' ==> The following line needs to be replaced!
If wb.Worksheets(j).Name < wb.Worksheets(i).Name Then
wb.Worksheets(j).Move before:=wb.Worksheets(i)
End If
Next j
Next i
' Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
The only logic you need to change now is the If-statement. Instead of comparing the names of the sheets, you need to find a custom logic that compares the names of the two sheets.
Your logic is basically: If the name is Initial, sort it to the top, if it is Version, sort it to the end and for all the others, sort them by the date the name is representing.
I created a small function that calculates a number from the name. The Initial sheets gets 0, the Version gets a arbitrary high number, a worksheet with a date in the name gets the date value (a date is basically a double value in VBA) by converting the name into the date. If the name cannot be converted to a date, the value will be so that the sheet will be sorted to the end (but before the version sheet).
Function getSortNumber(ws As Worksheet) As Double
Const MaxNumber = 100000
If ws.Name = "Initial" Then
' Sort Initial to the beginning
getSortNumber = 0
ElseIf ws.Name = "Version" Then
' Sort Version to the end
getSortNumber = MaxNumber + ws.Parent.Sheets.Count
Else
' Create real date fom name
Dim d As Date, tokens() As String
tokens = Split(ws.Name, "-")
On Error Resume Next
d = DateSerial(Val(tokens(2)), Val(tokens(1)), Val(tokens(0)))
On Error GoTo 0
If d = 0 Then
' Failed to convert to date, sort to end
getSortNumber = MaxNumber + ws.Index
Else
' Sort according to the date value
getSortNumber = CDbl(d)
End If
End If
End Function
You can adapt the function easily if your needs changed (eg date format, or you can have extra text with the date, or you want to sort the version sheet to the beginning, or you have additional sheets with different names...). The sort function itself will not change at all, only the comparison logic.
Now all you have to do is change the line in the sort routine:
If wb.Worksheets(j).Name < wb.Worksheets(i).Name Then
to
If getSortNumber(wb.Worksheets(j)) < getSortNumber(wb.Worksheets(i)) Then
The general approach of converting the sheet names (that, hopefully, look like dates) to actual date serial numbers, and sorting those has been answered. But there is a a bit more to it than other answers show.
If your sheet names are user entered, you should handle a bit of variability
No need to reinvent Date Conversion, use whats already in Excel/VBA. But you need to define what year a 2 digit number represents, specifically which century it's in.
Note: How DateSerial interprets 2 digit dates is a bit complex. Refer to the docs for details
Decide what you want to do with sheets whose names cannot be converted to valid dates. Options include
Clean them up. eg
remove excess white space
allow for suffixes (times?)
alternate delimiters
other date forms (eg 1 Oct 2020)
etc
Aborting
Delete them
Move them to a defined location
Move them to another workbook
Prompt user for a new valid name
Generate a new valid name in the code
etc
Once the date serial numbers are created, you sort that data. Many options exist
Use the Dynamic Array function SORT, if you have it
If you don't, there are many Array Sort algorithms and implementations available for VBA
Examples 1 2
Use a data structure that supports Sorting. Example System.Collections.ArrayList 1
Dump the data onto a sheet and use Excel Sort
Once you have the sorted data, move the sheets into place. Note: another answer provide a nested For loop. This executes in order n^2 (n = number of sheets) May not matter for a smallish number of sheets, but will get much slower as the number of sheets increases. But it's easily avoided, see the code below.
Suggested methodoligy, including comments on what to change to suit your needs. Run this after the user has inserted a new sheet.

Insert Date Worksheet
Note the following in two-digit year notation:

How to call a subroutine that has parameters?

I am working on an Excel Userform to generate a report for a lot entered on a given day.
The report is stored in a Word document which contains the results of between 1 and 8 quality samples (number of samples varies by lot).
The Userform is meant to load in Excel, receive a lot number and date from the user, retrieve samples from that day and lot from a different sheet in the Excel workbook and then copy the data into a new Word doc based on a custom template.
The input part of the Userform and the Word template are both set up. I hit a snag on the event handling procedure for the "OK" button.
The form's OK button event handler gives
compile error
on
Sub makeReport(lNum As Integer, pDay As Date)
The editor isn't indicating an issue in my makeReport method; the call to makeReport in the event handler is highlighted red.
I am using the Excel 2013 VBA editor, and neither the built-in debugging tools in Excel, the Microsoft online VBA docs nor various forum posts found via Google can give me a complete answer to what is wrong and how to fix it.

makeReport(lNum, pDay)
The brackets here imply that you are expecting something to be returned which can't happen as makeReport is a Sub not a Function. This is causing the compile error. To correct just remove the brackets.
You also have an additional problem as there is a mismatch with pDay. When you format a date you convert it from a Date, which is just a numeric value, into a String.
In OKButton_Click() try changing:
pDay = Format(dStr, "mm/dd/yyyy")
to:
pDay = CDate(dStr)
so that it matches the data type expected by makeReport. You can then apply the required formatting in makeReport by changing
.Application.Selection = pDay
to
.Application.Selection = Format(pDay, "mm/dd/yyyy")

Results of a vba function not refreshed

I am creating a spreadsheet for a client to manage his ALM. I developped it under Excel and VBA, request of my client.
One sheet "Data" calculates all the vba functions. If i calculate manually each cell all works fine, but if i run the macro it did not.
Do you have a solution? I can post the entire file if needed, for a better investigation.
At the beginning all the calculation where in excel cell, but i created dedicated function for each table, because the file was too big when saved.
Public Sub Main()
Dim i, nb_tableaux As Integer
Dim j, lignemax, BarWidth As Long
Dim ProgressPercentage As Double
Dim echeancier, nomtableau As String
Dim ws_data As Worksheet
Dim c As Range
Me.ProgressLabel.Caption = "Initialisation terminée. "
Set ws_data = Sheets("Data")
lignemax = ws_data.Range("DATA").Rows.Count
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
nb_tableaux = 17
For i = 1 To nb_tableaux
echeancier = tab_Tableaux(i, 0)
nomtableau = tab_Tableaux(i, 1)
Me.ProgressLabel.Caption = "En cours : " & echeancier
ws_data.Range(nomtableau).Calculate
'With Worksheets("Data")
For j = 1 To lignemax
For Each c In ws_data.Range(nomtableau).Rows(j)
formulaToCopy = c.Formula
c.ClearContents
c.Value = formulaToCopy
DoEvents
Next
Me.ProgressLabel.Caption = "En cours : " & echeancier & ", " & Format(j / lignemax, "0.0%") & " completed"
Me.Repaint
Next j
'End With
Me.Bar.Width = i * 200 / nb_tableaux
Me.Bar.Caption = Format(i / nb_tableaux, "0%") & " completed"
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
End Sub
after taking into account the recommandations you gave me for my previous answers, the code works better, but still not for some of the ranges.
My issue come from a wrong calculation of a argument in the fonction.
In fact, I use ligne=activecell.row - 8, to get the ligne of the range to calculate. But it works if i do it manually, as the actual cell is activated, but not when i call the function many times, as i can not activate each cell, it will be too long for the spreadsheet.
How can i get ligne calculated, with the correct address of the cell where the function is written?
I hope i am clear enough. Sorry for my English.

Get Date from Internet and compare to System Clock on Workbook Open

I have a spreadsheet that uses the current date, finds the next Sunday and puts the following Sunday as the week ending date. This date automatically rolls every Sunday at midnight. Some users are attempting to do a system clock rollback to allot themselves opportunity to falsify certain bits of data entered on my form.
I'd like to pull the date from the internet, compare it to the system date, and then use whichever is later. I struggle getting the VBA together to pull the date from the internet, and I have a function in place that detects a connection. I also have the end of the script which disables the 'send email' macro so they cannot email off the report (which they couldn't without Internet). I did borrow some code from here in an attempt to achieve this, but I'm having trouble making sense of the best application without having to go through a long process.
How do I best solve the collection of a date from the internet for comparing against a potential system clock rollback?

I was just toying around with a similar idea and though along the lines of keeping a track of the current system time on a very hidden sheet whenever the workbook is opened.
If they try to roll back the clock to a date/time before the last time they opened the file then the file closes.
Sub datee()
Dim lastrow As Long
With Sheets("sheet1")
lastrow = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(.Range("A:A"))
.Range("a" & lastrow).Offset(1, 0).Value = Now
If Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(.Range("A:A")) > Now Then
MsgBox ("Date has been tampered with")
Else
MsgBox ("Date appears good")
End If
End With
End Sub
The only problem with it in this instance would be the the chance to tamper with the date before opening the file.

Difficult to debug without the source files.
I see the following potential problems:
GetRowRange: .UsedRange might return more columns than you expect. Check by pressing Ctrl-End in the worksheet and see where you end up
Some thing in your main routine - depsheet.UsedRange.Columns(1).Cells might just result in much more rows than expected
someRange.Value = "VLOOKUP(... will store the formula as text. You need .Formula = instead of .Value (this will not solve your long runtime but certainly avoid another bug)
In sortSpgs you add know or unknow items to a control. Not knowing if there's any event code behind these controls, disable events with Application.EnableEvents=False (ideally in the beginning of your main sub together with the .ScreenUpdating = False)
Also, set Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual at the beginning and Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic at the end of your code
You're performing a lot of .Find - esp. in sortSpgs - this is potentially slow in large sheets, as it has to loop over quite some data, depending on the underlying range.
Generally, a few more "best practise remarks":
* Dim your variables with the correct types, same for returns of functions
* Use With obj to make the code cleaner. E.g. in setResulcolVars you could use With rsheet.UsedRange and remove this part in the following 15 or so lines
* In modules of small scope, it is okay to dim some variable with a module wide scope - esp. if you hand them over with every call. This will make your code much easier to read
Hope that helps a bit... mvh /P.
My guess is that Application.Screenupdating is the problem. You set to false inside the:
if Not (importsheet.UsedRange.Find("afdeling") Is Nothing) Then
block. So if the isn't the case then screenupdateing isn't disabled. you should move it to the beginning of the function.
you could also try to write the usedrange in an array, work with it , and write it back if needed.
code example
dim MyArr() as Variant
redim MyArray (1 to usedrange.rows.count, 1 to usedrange.columns)
MyArray=usedrange.value
'calculating with Myarray instead of ranges (faster)
usedrange.value=myarray 'writes changes back to the sheet/range
also, maybe you can use .match instead of .find, wich is faster.
with arrays you use application.match( SearchValue, Array_Name, False) 'false if for exact match
the same thing works for range.find() , becoming application.find()...
save first your master workbook under a new name before making such a big change...
