I have 2 excel documents (excel1 and excel2) saved on Sharepoint.
On excel1 - I have a lookup from excel2. The formula works 100% for me.
I have shared and given access to a secondary user. When they open excel1 and select Update (which happens as soon as you add a new row), all the formulas give errors. When the second user opens up excel2 then the formulas start working.
How do I get it so that the second user does not have to open up excel2 to get the formulas to work immediately in excel1?
Such a simple one but I am struggling.
I have an Excel document that is used by everyone in the office. When someone is in it the rest use a read only or have to wait to update. I have created a new workbook that references the working copy. Eg cell contents are =path[document]Sheet!cell is there a way to automatically view changes as they are input on the working copy. This would be a read only solution but ideally a right up to date copy of the working workbook. A solution through excel or VBA button click would be ideal. Can you help. I have tried connections but it crashes and only updates on a close and save from another user. When I have both docs open on my computer updates are instant.
Here is a background of my project.
I have an arduino with an LCD screen. This arduino is connected to an excel spreadsheet through a user form. The LCD screen displays values from the excel spreadsheet. If I change the value in excel, it changes the value on the LCD screen.
Taking it a step further, All of our data (for now) is in MS access, so, I imported the data from access to excel. Now, if I change a value in MS access, it changes it in excel, then changes it on the LCD screen.
This works great, but I have one issue. There is a user-form that will be continuously running (this is the connection between the arduino and excel sheet). When this form is open, the excel spreadsheet will not refresh when something in access is changed. Once I close the form, the linked table in excel will refresh.
Any ideas how to have the excel refresh the link with the form open? I have tried refreshall, updatelinks, etc. Thank you!
I'm assuming the user form is in Excel in which case DoEvents might be worth a try
How about having vba code close and reopen the form periodically, the link shows how to create a timed event
VBA Macro On Timer style to run code every set number of seconds, i.e. 120 seconds
Here is my requirement:
I have four people in my team, and I need all the four to update the excel sheet on their desktops. Once the excel sheet is saved , I need the data to be updated on excel sheet of same name on the server. Do we have any macro that can help here?
Say the excel is on the link http://cccc/excel1.xls. And all four team mates download this excel from server (excel11.xls) onto the desktop. Once they update the excel on the desktop, I need it to automatically update on the server. Can we do it through any macro?
I have a Excel Workbook in which I have created an analysis using Datatables. For some reason each time I open the workbook, the formulas that reference the Datatable turn into #Name erorrs.
The first time I opened it, I thought I had simply made a typo and needed to reenter the formula. I did that and saved the file. On opening it two minutes later.... same error!
The error is only for two referenced columns in the datatable. Other columns from the same table reference fine, without error!
Here a sample of what the error looks like:
=SUMIFS(tblDB #REF!,tblDB[AWGW 2012],$B$3,tblDB[NWGW 2012],$B13)
The file (saved as an .xlsm) contains the following, none of which are used or touched by the formulas with the error:
Pivot Tables
VBA Code (none are event based... regular subs that need to be manually started only)
Other Datatables
I have tested on the the following Systems:
Excel 2010 (32bit) and Windows XP
Excel 2010 (64bit) and Windows 7
Does anyone have any idea why this happens?
