Re-setting all option buttons at once - vba

I have written a code for re-setting all option button on one click but its giving an error, "object doesnt support the property or matter".
Sub Add_New_Record()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 30
With Sheets("Form")
'-- unlock the worksheet
.Unprotect
.OptionButton(i).Value = False
'-- lock the worksheet
'.Protect
.Activate
.Range("Q12").Select
End With
Next i
End Sub
Can anyone please suggest me how to fix the code and make the value of all option buttons "false" at one.
I know how to do it individually like:
Sub Add_New_Record()
With Sheets("Form")
'-- unlock the worksheet
.Unprotect
.OptionButton1.Value = False
'-- lock the worksheet
'.Protect
.Activate
.Range("Q12").Select
End With
End Sub
but since I have too many buttons, the code will get really long and inefficient.
Thanks for your help and time.

First, the With statement should be before the For loop. And it should be .OptionButtons. Try this one.
Sub Add_New_Record()
Dim i As Integer
With Sheets("Form")
.Unprotect
For i = 1 To 30
.OptionButtons(i).Value = False
Next i
.Protect
End With
End Sub

Loop through all the OLEObjects on a particular sheet and if it is an optionbutton then set it to false.
For i = 1 To ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Count
If TypeName(ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(i).Object) = "OptionButton" Then
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects(i).Object = False
End If
Next i
Embedding this snippet in your code:
Sub Add_New_Record()
With Sheets(1)
.Unprotect
For i = 1 To .OLEObjects.Count
If TypeName(.OLEObjects(i).Object) = "OptionButton" Then
.OLEObjects(i).Object = False
End If
Next i
.Protect
.Range("Q12").Select
End With
End Sub

Combining code that forces user to enable macro and code that makes cells mandatory

Big thanks to A.S.H for helping me with out with this code earlier.
Right now, I'm attempting to show a splash sheet that tells users to enable macros in order to access the workbook. The plan is to save the file with the splash sheet visible and other sheets veryhidden during the BeforeClose event. During the Open event, the splash sheet will be made veryhidden and the other sheets will be made visible.
Hence, the user will only see the splash sheet when he/she opens the file with macros disabled. However with the below code, it doesn't seem as though the routine that makes the splash sheet visible and the rest veryhidden is running. Where have I gone wrong?
Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim rs As Object, ws As Object
Dim Ans As Integer
Dim target As Range, r As Range
Set rs = Sheets("Report")
If Me.Saved = False Then
Do
Ans = MsgBox("Do you want to save the changes you made to '" & _
Me.Name & "'?", vbQuestion + vbYesNoCancel)
Select Case Ans
Case vbYes
With rs
Set target = .Range("B5:R" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row)
End With
target.Value = Application.Trim(target.Value)
For Each r In target.Rows
If Not IsEmpty(r.Cells(1)) And Application.CountIf(r, "") > 0 Then
Cancel = True
r.Parent.Activate: r.Activate
MsgBox ("Please confirm all required fields have been completed")
Exit Sub
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Reminder").Visible = xlSheetVisible
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Name <> "Reminder" Then
ws.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End If
Next ws
ActiveWorkbook.Save
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Name <> "Reminder" Then
ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible
End If
Next ws
Sheets("Reminder").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Case vbNo
Me.Saved = True
Case vbCancel
Cancel = True
Exit Sub
End Select
Loop Until ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
End If
End Sub
If you are experiencing screen trouble, it is likely due to some erroneous manipulation of Application.ScreenUpdating here and in other macros. In this one, the error is that you first set it to False and then Exit Sub without restoring it to True.
Moreover, since your routine only does calculation (checking) and does not change cell values, there's no point in disabling Application.ScreenUpdating.
On a side note, I think your routine that checks for empty cells can be much simplified.
Function dataIsValid() As Boolean
Dim target As Range, r As Range
With ActiveSheet ' <-- May be better change to some explicit sheet name
Set target = .Range("B5:R" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row)
End With
target.value = Application.Trim(target.value) ' <-- trim the whole range
For Each r In target.Rows
If Not IsEmpty(r.Cells(1)) And Application.CountIf(r, "") Then
r.Parent.Activate: r.Activate ' <-- Show erroneous row
MsgBox ("Please confirm all required fields have been completed")
Exit Function
End If
Next
dataIsValid = True
End Function
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = Not dataIsValid
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = Not dataIsValid
End Sub

Excel VBA: protecting my worksheets slows down my vba code significantly

I am very new to VBA and have basically taught myself while building my current Excel 'contract'. My goal is have a list of contract options which are shown or hidden depending on their representative check boxes. There are 12 total options with ranges that I show/remove across 4 worksheets.
In terms of organization, I have utilized modules based on each action. I also named all my ranges
Prior to me protecting my worksheet, when I select a checkbox, all 4 ranges across all 4 worksheets immediately show. When I unselect, they immediately clear their contents and hide. Yay!
Once I protect my worksheet, however, things either slow down to a crawl or I get an error. In my ProtectWorksheet module below, the commented out lines work, but from reading other stack overflow articles it seens better to use the code I have. Unprotected, it works great. Protected I get the "Error 1004': Unable to set the Hidden property of the Range class". If I instead use my commented out code while protected, it works but is super slow.
Technically I can get everything to work...but from a user interface stance it's terrible.
Below is the 1st contract option I have been testing. Please and thank you for any and all help!
under the Excel Objects - sheet2(Data Input)
Private Sub chkDomesticHotWater_Click()

'Worksheets("Invoice").Unprotect Password:="123"
'Worksheets("Expected Cost").Unprotect Password:="123"
End Sub
EDIT
I was able to speed it up just a tiny bit by updating my Protect On/Off code below, but it's still a 3-5 second delay when I click on my check boxes:
Sub ProtectON()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set WSArray = Sheets(Array("Data Input", "Contract", "Invoice", "Expected Cost"))
For Each ws In WSArray
ws.Protect Password:="123"
Next
End Sub
Sub ProtectOFF()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set WSArray = Sheets(Array("Data Input", "Contract", "Invoice", "Expected Cost"))
For Each ws In WSArray
ws.Unprotect Password:="123"
Next
End Sub
EDIT - SOLUTION?
So I don't think this is best practice, nor have I really 'solved' my delay, but I found a workaround. I eliminated the delay when clicking my check boxes by turning on protection yet allowing row formatting. Technically my sheet is no longer 100% protected from user tinkering, but I think that risk is worth removing such an annoying wait time after clicking.
Sub ProtectON()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set WSArray = Sheets(Array("Data Input", "Contract", "Invoice", "Expected Cost"))
For Each ws In WSArray
ws.Protect Password:="123", AllowFormattingRows:=True
Next
End Sub
It should not be that slow, although I really have no clue how fast is your PC and how big is the data. However, here is something you can make better:
Sub ClearDomesticHotWater()
For Each cell In [DataInput_DomesticHotWater]
If cell.Interior.Color = RGB(226, 239, 218) Then
cell.ClearContents
End If
Next
End Sub
and remove all selects, they are slowing you down. Go around them like this:
How to avoid using Select in Excel VBA macros

VBA - Range("All cells but a few")

I am trying to clear the contents of all cells on a worksheet apart from a specific range. I have tried to copy the range to the clipboard then to paste it back on again in the same place, however excel being the usual tricky beast - it doesn't want to play ball.
The range I would like to keep the same is AB1:AC5.
Any Suggestions Apprichiated...
(here is my code)
Sub Button21_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Worksheets(2)
.Range("AB1:AC5").Copy
.Cells.ClearContents
.Paste(Destination:=Sheets("Data").Range("AB1"))
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
use an array instead:
Sub Button21_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim oldValues As Variant
With Worksheets(2)
oldValues = .Range("AB1:AC5").Value
.Cells.ClearContents
.Range("AB1:AC5").Value = oldValues
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Populate ComboBox With Sheet Names Dynamically

I am having trouble with populating a combo box on a excel ribbon dynamically.
I wish for the combo box to be populated using the names of the sheets of the workbook dynamically.
I am able to select the sheet names already presentin the combo box that is placed on the ribbon however I do not seam to be able to code the VBA to populate the combo box with the sheet names if I add them or modify the name.
I have written below code but its not working :
Sub SelectionFeuille_GetItemLabel(control As IRibbonControl, index As Integer, ByRef returnedVal)
Dim dTime As Date
dTime = Now + TimeValue("00:00:01") 'hh:mm:ss
Application.OnTime dTime, "Refresh_all"
returnedVal = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(index + 1).Name
End Sub
Please help me....
The simplest way I've found to do this is to capture the Calculate event, and I do that by having a hidden worksheet with formulae to each sheet in its cells. It's far from perfect and, if truth be told, is a pretty ugly workaround, but at least it's food for thought for you. I guess a timer would also work but that seems just as ugly.
All of this code goes in the code behind your workbook:
Option Explicit
Private Const NAMES_SHEET As String = "Hidden|Sheet|Names"
Private mNamesSheet As Worksheet
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim b As Boolean
b = Application.ScreenUpdating
On Error Resume Next
Set mNamesSheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(NAMES_SHEET)
On Error GoTo 0
If mNamesSheet Is Nothing Then
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set mNamesSheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Add
mNamesSheet.Name = NAMES_SHEET
mNamesSheet.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End If
WriteNamesOfSheets
Application.ScreenUpdating = b
End Sub
Private Sub WriteNamesOfSheets()
Dim v() As Variant
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim i As Integer
Dim b As Boolean
b = Application.EnableEvents
Application.EnableEvents = False
ReDim v(1 To ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count, 1 To 1)
mNamesSheet.Cells.Clear
i = 0
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible Then
i = i + 1
v(i, 1) = "=" & ws.Name & "!A1"
End If
Next
mNamesSheet.Range("A1").Resize(UBound(v, 1)).Formula = v
Application.EnableEvents = b
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetCalculate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim b As Boolean
On Error GoTo EH
b = Application.EnableEvents
Application.EnableEvents = False
WriteNamesOfSheets
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible Then
'
'Populate your combobox here with ws.Name
'
End If
Next
Application.EnableEvents = b
Exit Sub
EH:
Err.Clear

Run a Macro every time sheet is changed

i'm still fairly new to macros, i've got a bit of code i need to run on a sheet every time it gets updated, changed, or whatever.
Here is the code I need to run: How can i do this?
Sub UnMergeFill()
Dim cell As Range, joinedCells As Range
For Each cell In ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If cell.MergeCells Then
Set joinedCells = cell.MergeArea
cell.MergeCells = False
joinedCells.Value = cell.Value
End If
Next
End Sub
You can boost the efficiency of your macro by locating the merged cells to process rather than looping through every cell in the Worksheet.UsedRange property and examining it for the Range.MergeCells Property.
Within the worksheet's conventional Range.Find method, there is an option to look for formatting. On this sub-dialog's Alignment tab, you'll find the option to locate Merged cells.
        
This can be incorporated into your VBA sub procedure using the Range.Find method and the Application object's .FindFormat property.
Your sub procedure using FindFormat:
Sub UnMergeFill(Optional ws As Worksheet)
If ws Is Nothing Then Set ws = ActiveSheet
Dim fndMrg As Range, joinedCells As Range
Application.FindFormat.MergeCells = True
With ws
On Error Resume Next
Set fndMrg = .Cells.Find(What:=vbNullString, SearchFormat:=True)
Do While Not fndMrg Is Nothing
Set joinedCells = fndMrg.MergeArea
fndMrg.MergeCells = False
'fndMrg.UnMerge '???
joinedCells.Value = fndMrg.Value
Set fndMrg = .Cells.Find(What:=vbNullString, SearchFormat:=True)
Loop
End With
Application.FindFormat.MergeCells = False
End Sub
Slightly revised Worksheet_Change event macro with more environment shutdown during processing.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo bm_Safe_Exit
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Call UnMergeFill(Target.Parent)
bm_Safe_Exit:
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I've opted to specify the worksheet to be processed rather than rely on the ActiveSheet property. There is the possibility that the Worksheet_Change could be initiated by an outside process when it is NOT the active sheet.
In short, opt for bulk operations whenever possible and avoid looping whenever you can. This is not blinding fast but it should be substantially quicker than looping through the cells.
In the code module for that particular worksheet, just add this:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
UnMergeFill
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
