  13. I am opening a "shared" spreadsheet, that sits on our Corporate NAS. I have copied the file off the NAS to my home computer, in order to add some VBA code - for displaying the sheet and refreshing at set intervals. However, when I open the Developer tab and attempt to right click on the sheet, all my options are greyed out? Is this because the sheet has been placed in "shared mode" from within Excel (not sure how to disable that and add the code, then re-enable shared mode). I will need to put it back on the NAS when the code has been added. NB: The VBA code was produced by a freelancer at guru.com to refresh each of the four tabs on the sheet, every 15 seconds.. Thanks! (I have a screen capture I could send you).

    You have solved my problem.

  33. Hello Alexander.

    Could you help me with the VBA code to complete the following task:

    I have an excel table. Assuming the formula goes in column D starting the cell D1,

    For i=1 To Countif(A:A,"*")
    Do Until True
    If Left(C1,B(0+i))=A(0+i) Then A(0+i)

    Here B(0+i) should start from B1,then B2, etc. until C1=A1 or A2 or etc.

    For D2 the VBA should do,

    For i=1 To Countif(A:A,"*")
    Do Until True
    If Left(C2,B(0+i))=A(0+i) Then A(0+i)

    Thanks

  47. Hi,

    I'm trying to make it so that only one person can access the workbook at once and if anyone else tries do use it they will get a message saying that it's in use by another user.

    I have found the code below on another forum but it doesn't seem to be working - The Macro name won't appear when I try to run it. I think it's to do with the beginning section of code? Your help would be much appreciated!

    Many thanks, Tamsyn

    Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    With Me
    If .ReadOnly Then
    Call MsgBox(Prompt:="The workbook is already open by another user!", _
    Buttons:=vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, _
    Title:="Closing...")
    Call .Close(SaveChanges:=False)
    End If
    End With
    End Sub

  49. If I create a VBA code in Excel version 2010 will it work by someone who has other versions of Excel including 2013 as 2007?
    I want to send a form where the letters automatically change to UPPERCASE when anyone with any kind of excel version types in the cell.

    1. Hello Christophe,

      Yes, of course. Your code should work in all the versions of Excel you mentioned and even in Excel 2003.
      It won't work in earlier versions only if you are calling new functions of Excel 2010 – 2013 there, but it doesn't look like your case.

  50. Thank you for this! You saved me a ton of work of having to do this manually! Very simple instructions with amazing results.
