Running macro within a macro
 

When using a call function in a macro to excute a different macro and using
the shortcut key, it skips the called macro. But when the macro is selected
in the tool macro menu selection and manually run it works. Is there a
method to slow down the orginal macro until the called macro is completed?

Thanks in advance...

Running macro within a macro
 

(1) If you're having the same problem as expressed in an earlier post,
please reply to that post. That way, all issues and solutions stay together
for the sake of everyone reading these.
(2) I tried the examples you were given earlier and had no problem. I have
several macros that call other macros - sometimes stacking several deep!
(that's usually poor programming - I don't recommend it!!) - and run them
with no problems.
(3) Do you have different macros in different modules with the same name?
(4) Try posting your actual code so we can see what's happening. If it
works for everyone else but not for you, the answers given may not be
applicable unless we see the "inner workings".

Does the second macro open another workbook?

Does your shortcut key combination include the shift key?

If yes, to both, then try changing the shortcut key combination to something
else--don't include the shift key.

Running macro within a macro
 

first macro - used to load value in pivot table

Sub SEBU()
Worksheets("Parameters").Cells(1, 1).Value = "SEBU"
GOTO_Report
End Sub

second macro - load 2 pivot tables with value from first macro

Sub GOTO_Report()
'Runs KA Report GEO
a = Worksheets("Parameters").Cells(1, 1)

Sheets("PvtTbl").PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotF ields("GEO").CurrentPage = a

Sheets("PvtTbl").PivotTables("PivotTable2").PivotF ields("GEO").CurrentPage = a
Call HideEmptyRows
Sheets("Rpt").Select
Range("A1").Select

End Sub

third macro - called fom second macro used to hide empty rows from pivot
table data

' HidesEmptyRows Macro
'
' Macro uses Sub Routine HideEmptyRows to look at all rows starting at the
bottom of the
' active sheet. Moves up 1 row at a time until it reads row A.
'
'
'
Function RowIsEmpty(n As Double) As Boolean
If Cells(n, 1).Value = "" And Cells(n, 1).End(xlToRight).Value = "" Then _
RowIsEmpty = True Else RowIsEmpty = False
End Function
Sub HideEmptyRows()
Dim tableEnd As Double
Dim m As Double

'tableEnd is set to the last row in the spreadsheet.
'work backwards from the last row upwards and hide the row if it is empty.

tableEnd = Range("a1").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row
For m = tableEnd To 1 Step -1
If RowIsEmpty(m) Then Cells(m, 1).EntireRow.Hidden = True
Next m


End Sub

it seems to be bypassing the call in the second macro

If you add a break point, can you start the code from your shortcut key, then
restart?

If not, maybe you can add some "debug.print" or "msgbox" lines in your code to
find out where things are failing.

All macros are in the same module and workbook. there are no duplicate macro
names. I have the macro being started by a menu button so the user does not
have to use any shift or control keys

I thought the problem was when the user hit the shortcut key:

Did you try putting the breakpoint in? How about the debug.print/msgboxes?

Just noticed that in the call statement, the Call HideEmptyRows does not
allow me to include teh "()" at the end of the statement. Is that required
and wondering why it does not stay when keyed in?

I have tried several methods.
1) Assigning it to a ctrl key such as ctrl a - skips the called macro
2) Assigning it to a menu button - skips the called macro
3) Running it from the tools, macro, macros menu tree and manually running
the macro. It works in this senero only.

The issue is the end users do not have the patience to use methiods 1 or 2.

Most people use functions to pass parameters and return a value. Your function
doesn't pass any parms.

What happened when you added the dubug.print/msgboxes?
