I have an application spreadsheet that goes and looks at another spreadsheet where users load their info in.
I have attached a word document the shows the problems I have.
Hope you can help
Hello,
I'm not quite sure the Word file with screenshots of the Excel file is helpful in solving this issue.
How about posting the Excel file instead, with the macro code that you are running?
Make sure to replace confidential data with dummy data.
And finally: you seem to be using merged cells. If so, don't. They cause all kinds of trouble when macros and other native Excel functionality is involved.
cheers,
I have attached the excel file
I did not attache the file. here it is
There are no macros in that attachment.
Hi again
That is the thing. I need to develop a macro to do what I indicated in the original word document. If I develop the macro, it does not seem to pick up my keystrokes when I select CANCEL. If I can find out how to include me selecting CANCEL as part of the macro, it would help a great deal. Keep in mind that the application form requires me to press CANCEL 740 times, so I need a way around it.
Can you take a few steps back and describe what you would want your macro to do instead of complaining about what you imagine a non-existent macro might do?
As far as I'm concerned, your fears are unfounded, since you have not provided a macro that requires to hit Cancel xxx times.
So, let's start over.
What do you want to achieve? Describe the desired outcome. Don't worry about what macro steps may be required.
Then again: your use of merged cells in the sheet may be preventing any macro solution from working. Do not use merged cells is one of the first unspoken rules you will find the advisors here agree on.
Maybe you shouldn't use 'copy/paste' (including the copying of formulas, that contain references to external workbooks), but 'copy/pastespecial xlvalues' instead.
Or you could transfer the values directly using:
Workbooks(2).range("A3012:G3022")=Workbooks(1).range("A3012:G3022").value
