  • A big part of the problem is when you grow up in a caste system. if you are in the top of the four, everybody else that helps is just a minion and why should you even think of responding to THEIR wishes.

    I just hope that I remember his moniker so I can skip his posts.

    I am just dreaming here but it would be nice if all the sites together had a database with names in it to avoid.

    How are things in Germany? That's where you reside now isn't it.

    Good luck and thanks for the update.

    • Yes, most of my time these days is taken up building my castle in the Bavarian Hills.

      Things are all under control here. Hope things are OK by you and yours.

      These are a few of his names that I have dealt with

      But his posts are fairly easy to recognise, in particular as the questions are so similar. This is something that makes him interesting in a strange way, as he is such an extreme example of a common stereotype poster from India.

      I am less active in the main forums anymore. My Excel hobby was more of something to do in the long beautiful white winters we had before Global warming / Climate change spoilt that.

      I post at a few Blog site comment sections and some of the quieter forums now

      I may buy excelfox next winter. A nice, very quiet forum , that suits me now. The owner kindly made me an Admin to help practice for in the event I buy it. I like the older vBulliten forum format.

      This OP posts a lot there, at least in between the temporary bans I have given him a few times now. At excelfox I could merge almost 40 of his Threads into 8. That helped a little. Merging, if possible, can help a little in such a case.

      Take care.

    • …… COPY AND PASTE … so you could ask him again to post his solution(s)

      BTW, I can tell you the answer(s) – the two I know of so far….

  • Hi there,


    About the Op here COPY AND PASTE


    This OP is a very , very unique case. I never met anyone like him, and I have a reputation of getting through to the poor communicators better than most.

    He had an original solution, which worked. He missed that, and went on to go around in circles for a few weeks at various duplicated cross posts.


    This is a typical example of how things often go with this OP…..

    He appears to understand or read almost nothing of what is ever posted for him..

    He looks in a reply for a macro. Sometimes he runs it, sometimes he doesn’t, sometimes he copies it wrong.

    If he does not get exactly what he wants, ( what he wants is something which no one can ever know ), he posts some gibberish. Then,

    He looks in a reply for a macro. Sometimes he runs it, sometimes doesn’t, sometimes he copies it wrong.

    If he does not get exactly what he wants, ( which is what no one can ever know ), he posts some gibberish. Then,

    He looks in a reply for a macro. Sometimes he runs it, sometimes doesn’t, sometimes he copies it wrong.

    If he does not get exactly what he wants, ( which is what noone can ever know ), he posts some gibberish. Then,

    …etc.


    Eventually, whether he gets what he wants or not, there comes a canned reply, which may or may not be the last post, of the form ..“Thx for great help. Problem Solved Sir, Have a great day“…


    ( Currently, his main issue is that he cannot understand anything at all about the difference between an Excel File and an Text File and that is causing havoc with multiple cross duplicated posts everywhere. )


    A very unique case. I sometimes wonder if he is real , or if he is some higher being, having been sent to „test“ us…

    These are the cross post I have seen so far. There are probably a few more.

    COPY AND PASTE

  • Here is an example

    This should copy all 4th Columns From All Workbooks into Master providing that all, incl Workbook with code ("Master"?) are saved in one and the same Folder.

    Change references, like Sheet names, as required.


    Code

    1. Sub Get_Columns()
    2. Dim sPath As String
    3. Dim sFil As String
    4. Dim owb As Workbook
    5. Dim twb As Workbook
    8. With Application
    9. .Calculation = xlCalculationManual
    10. .EnableEvents = False
    11. .ScreenUpdating = False
    12. End With
    15. Set twb = ThisWorkbook
    16. sPath = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\"
    17. sFil = Dir(sPath & "*.xl*")
    20. Do While sFil <> "" And sFil <> twb.Name
    21. Set owb = Workbooks.Open(sPath & sFil)
    22. owb.Sheets("data").Columns(4).Copy twb.Sheets("report").Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(, 1) '<----- Change sheet names
    23. owb.Close False 'Close no save
    24. sFil = Dir
    25. Loop
    28. With Application
    29. .Calculation = xlAutomatic
    30. .EnableEvents = True
    31. .ScreenUpdating = True
    32. End With
