Filter problems
Submitted by AGIKTB on 20 December, 2013 - 13:59We have a excel spreadsheet with filter on. We are working in Excel 2010 on a MS terminal server.
Everyone can open the spreadsheet and the filter is on every time the user is opening the sheet, except one user. Every time this user is opening the spreadsheet, the filter is gone.
Any idea what can be wrong? We want the filter to be saved for every user all the time.

Adding file count and folder size to current macro, can this be done or does the code have to be rewritten?
Submitted by dark91zc on 14 November, 2013 - 17:26This is the code I have.
What it does is it imports the name of every folder then splits it by Last name, First name, Record number,and Date of Birth. It also sorts the record number in Terminal Digit so it reads the last 2 number first then the middle 2 numbers then the last 4 numbers and puts them in order from there.
With this new code i want to be able to add a X-ray count( the files in folder count) into column E so it lists the files per folder also right after the Date of Birth.
Then add the patient folder size in column F.

Making fancy automatic graph
Submitted by Gabriel Kalfas on 11 November, 2013 - 14:49Hi everybody,
I'm making up some fancy graphs that could be used for the following up of a project and I'm quite stuck...
In the attachment of this mail you can find the current situation.
What I want to become with the aid of following field:
Project Month: June '14
==> This field should become a 'Trigger' to make a distinction between the already realised time (=PAST, <= June '14 in full lines) and the upcoming timing (Forecast, > June '14 in broken lines --)
Furthermore I would like to see only the number of this month
(so not all the numbers of the others months).
multiply if
Submitted by svami007 on 6 November, 2013 - 11:56Hi everybody,
I need to compare two rows of text and multiply the values if the text matches. It would be something like SUMIF, but with multiply instead of sum. For example:
mouse- 1 monitor- 30 mouse- 10*1
keyboard- 2 mouse- 10 keyboard- 15*2
monitor- 1 keyboard- 15 monitor- 30*1
I want it to work like SUMIF, compare the first two ranges and multiply the corresponding values.
Thank you very much for your help!

VBA Code To Consolidate Individual Spreadsheets to 1 Consolidated Spreadsheet in New Document
Submitted by TexasGinja on 31 October, 2013 - 20:55Wondering if this is an option:
Interested in combining 7 individual excel files (1 worksheet per file), with exactly the same layout, structure, and basic data). 6 Columns per worksheet laid out exactly the same in each excel file.
Looking to automatically consolidate the data between all the sheets to one excel file, and looking to put into a pivot table to view the information.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Things to consider?
anyone want to help me? I love excel and systems, but VBA doesn't seem like something that's teach yourself.

We already fool the excel by telling it, we saved.. But still the pop-up is throwing.

My code
wb.saved = True
End Sub
I also tried Activeworkbook.Saved = True, Thisworkbook.Saved = True, nothing is working fine..
Please leave your inputs to solve this.
