#HOW TO TEMPORARILY DISABLE MACROS IN EXCEL CODE#
Or, write the following code the in the immediate window and press enter button: Application.EnableEvents = True Try closing other workbooks one by one to find which one is interfering with your code.
The Application object covers all of Excel, so disabling or enabling events will not just affect that workbook but it also affects all open workbooks. Excel will not fire any event if the Application.EnableEvents property set to False. If the code was in the right worksheet module, the events may be disabled. You can quickly access that code window by right-clicking the worksheet’s tab and selecting the View Code: Each worksheet has its own Activate event, and you have to add code to its module in order to trap its Activate event. Where did you write the code? The code will not work if it is written to another module instead of its respective module. To check, you must select another sheet tab and select again that worksheet tab again. For example, the Worksheet_Activate() event for Sheet1 does not fired when the workbook is opened and Sheet1 is already activated. Worksheet events do not fire when the workbook is opened. If Sheet1 is deactivated, the user gets a message and return to Sheet1: Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate() The following example uses the Worksheet_Deactivate event to prevent a user from activating any other sheet in the workbook. 'CommandBars("Cell").Controls("Cut").Visible = True See Worksheet_Deactivate event procedure example: Private Sub Worksheet_DeactivateĬommandBars("Cell").Controls("Cut").Enabled = True
To make that menu item available for other worksheets, you must enable or visible it when you leave the worksheet. In the previous example, we’ve disabled and hide Cut item form the shortcut menu, once a menu item is hidden or disabled, it is hidden or disabled for the entire workbook. Similarly, the Worksheet_Deactivate event occurs when you leave the current worksheet and activate a different worksheet. We already learn Excel detects when a worksheet is activated and fires the Worksheet_Activate event. You also can hide the menu item rather than disable it, simply set the Visible property to False: Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()ĬommandBars("Cell").Controls("Cut").Visible = FalseĮnd Sub Worksheet_Deactivate Event Procedure In the following example, we’ll disable a shortcut menu item “ Cut” (which was added to the Cells menu) when the Sheet1 is activated: Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()ĬommandBars("Cell").Controls("Cut").Enabled = False For example, when you right-click on a ribbon, a different menu appears, but when you right-click on a cell, a completely different menu appears. This menu varies at different Excel parts. The second example demonstrates how to automatically refresh all pivot tables whenever the particular worksheet is activated: Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()įor i = 1 To ĪctiveSheet.PivotTables(i).PivotCache.RefreshĮxcel shows you a shortcut menu when you right-click. This code simply pops up a message box that displays Welcome Back message: Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Following is a very simple example that is executed whenever a particular worksheet is activated.
