Simon has attended:
Excel VBA Intro Intermediate course
VBA Excel
During the VBA course with Carlos he indicated that you could run a macro and prevent the screen from flickering (i.e while it was calculating). Can you please let me know how to do this?
For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability
VBA Excel Stop Flickering Screen
Running VBA code may cause the screen to flicker as the monitor is the slowest part of the program and cannot keep up with the very fast changes taking place.
To switch off the screen until the program is run enter the following code line at the beginning of the procedure:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
The screen comes on automatically on completion of the program. If you require screen updating to resume before the end type
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

RE: VBA Excel
I have a question regarding creating an input box to select a particular worksheet (tab).
Each month I move and copy several worsheets to a new worbook and save them as values only so that I can distribute them as reports. All bar one of the worksheets are the same for each month. For the particular worksheet that varies from month to month I want to be able to create an input box so that I can select the worksheet relevant to the particular month. Below I have included the code that I have recorded. You will notice that in the macro the worksheet that I have selected for this month is "M1". Next month I want this to be "M2" and then the month after "M3" and so forth. Do I have to declare "M1" to be a variant? Can you please help me with code?
Thanks Simon Gleeson Ph: 02077667200

RE: VBA Excel
Hi Simon
Sorry for the delay.
Yes. If you are changing the sheet monthly you need to replace the "M1" value in the code with a variable (As next month it will be "M2")
eg. dim MonthName as String
Then create either an input box or a form to that asks the user to enter the name of the new monthly sheets as required. This entry gets saved in MonthName.
This inputbox/Form is activated if Outcome=6
