I have created a macro and a button but I can't see where to edit the button setting to invoke the macro. I'm using Excel 2003.
If you've used a Form Control. The chance to assign a macro will come up right after you add the button to the sheet. Or, if the button is already on the sheet, you can right-click on it and select Assign Macro.
If you've used an ActiveXControl, right-click on the button and select View Code. This will open up the VBE with
Private Sub myCommandButtonName_Click()
End Sub
From this sub call your macro like so...
Private Sub myCommandButtonName_Click()
Call myMacro
End Sub

I'm using the following simple code to run a macro "mymacro" when clicking/selecting a sheet.
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Call mymacro
End sub
When i execute the macro manually it's working very well but when i click on the sheet it is not.
Basically i'm using the macro to change a chart colors...so when i apply this to a normal sheet where i have a chart as object it's working but when i tried with a sheet where there is only a chart (created by using "Move Chart" on new sheet option) nothing happens
Thank you for the help
The name needs to be Private Sub Chart_Activate() since it is a Chart and not a Worksheet. As VBasic2008 pointed out, the code needs to be in the code module for the Chart. Press Alt+F11 to open the VB Project, CRTL+R to open the Project Explorer. Double click on the Chart, eg.Chart1.
Your code module should look like :
Private Sub Chart_Activate()
Call mymacro
End Sub
Ensure that mymacro is Public or is also in this code module.
I created a spreadsheet in the past which contained buttons that would run macros in the workbook. When I open the spreadsheet now and press the button, the macro will run perfectly. However, on the Developer tab, there are no macros listed and no code available. Is there a way to make the macros visible?
I do not understand. Is that your problem?
Option Explicit
Option Base 1
' This Macro is shown.
Public Sub X()
MsgBox ("X")
End Sub
' This Macro is hidden.
Public Sub Y(ByVal N As Long)
MsgBox ("Y")
End Sub
I have a userform with 4 buttons.
I want to start the userform with button 1 already active.
The button is a public sub called "StartMeasButton_Click()" and is inside the userform. I need to click on that button.
I tried the Application.Run method but it fails, as I've understood, as the method is for a spreadsheet command button and not for a userform inside button.
Simplest solution: Make your button click call a subroutine, then you can call the subroutine whenever you want to "click" the button.
Sub StartMeasButton_Click()
MySubRoutine
End Sub
Sub MySubRoutine()
'put the body of your click routine here
End Sub
Sub Form1_Initialise
MySubRoutine 'effectively the same as clicking the button
End Sub
I understand the logic behind this but I'm unsure how to right the macro. I import up to 63 sheets of data into excel.
ALL of the sheets have a status in Column B Row 9. I would like to make a macro to hide all sheets in the workbook when B9 = 100%
If Worksheet.Column.B, Row.9= 100%
Worksheet.hide
Open the VB Editor ALT+F11. Under Microsoft Excel Objects right click Insert --> Module. Paste in the following code.
Option Explicit
Public Sub HideSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Range("B9").Value = 1 Then
ws.Visible = xlSheetHidden
End If
Next ws
End Sub
The Option Explicit setting forces you to declare variables. I include this because, on top of good coding practice, it has saved me hours of debugging only to find I spelled a variable name wrong (such errors are captured before the code begins when adding this line).
The basic principle is that the code uses a For..Each loop to iterate through each worksheet in the workbook. IF cell B9 is 1 (corresponding to 100%) then the worksheet's Visible property is set to xlSheetHidden which hides the sheet. Sheets with this visible property can be unhidden if the user right-clicks along the worksheet tabs and selects Unhide.... If you don't want users to be able to unhide the sheets, you can set it to xlSheetVeryHidden which hides the sheet and disabled unhiding the sheet from the UI.
To run this macro you can click anywhere inside the code and click the button that looks like play (this is the Run Sub/Userform button) or you can press F5.
I would recommend setting the macro to a keyboard shortcut, or if you prefer to a button located somewhere on the worksheet.
To assign the macro a keyboard shortcut:
Under the Developer tab select Macros (or simply press ALT+F8) to display the Macro window
Under Macro name: select the name of your macro (HideSheets in this example)
Click Options...
Put the key in that you want to press to run the macro (in this case I chose CTRL+h for hide)
Select OK
Test by pressing the keyboard combination you specified
Additionally, you can assign a macro to run when a button on the worksheet is clicked, to do this:
Under Developer go to the Insert dropdown
Under ActiveX controls, select the command button
Draw the button anywhere on the page
Right click the button --> CommandButton Object --> Edit
Change the button text to whatever you want (like Hide Sheets for example)
Double click the button to open the code, you should see a Sub entitled CommandButton1_Click()
Type HideSheets into the subroutine like this (or whatever the name of your subroutine is)
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
HideSheets
End Sub
Exit design mode by clicking Design Mode under the Developer tab
Click the button to ensure the macro functions
Building on the answer from Soulfire, you can run the automatically anytime the value in the cell changes value. Just put the following code under the worksheet (not the module), which will run the macro 'HideSheets' whenever the value in cell C9 changes.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$C$9" Then
Call HideSheets
End If
End Sub
I have an Excel workbook that has a macro (the only macro in the workbook) attached to a button on a sheet.
In VB mode, I created a UserForm under Forms with a CommandButton1_Click Sub and when run from within VB (Run > Run Sub/UserForm or F5) it runs fine. I have it calling a Shell command that runs a BAT file that runs a Python script.
How do I run CommandButton1_Click from a button on a sheet? If I try to add a button to a sheet, it offers me the macro I have already associated with the other button.
Create one macro for example
Sub ShowForm
YourForm.show
End Sub
And associate this macro in button.
Why don't you move the main code into a new macro to modularise it. You can then call your macro via both UserForm and worksheet ActiveX (or Forms) buttons
'Normal Code Module
Sub TestCode()
MsgBox "Hi"
End Sub
'UserForm code
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Call TestCode
End Sub
'ActiveX button code
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Call TestCode
End Sub
