Undo Macro Action

[terilad]

Hi,

I need some help with a code to undo an action.

The code I have to do an action is below, this sorts cells into order from
smallest to largest based on input of hours.

Here is the code:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim strPrompt As String
Dim intbuttons As Integer
Dim strTitle As String
If Target.Address = Range("K2").Address Then
strPrompt = "Do you want Put Staff into OT Order?"
intbuttons = vbYesNo + vbInformation
strTitle = "Galashiels Operational Resources © MN "
If MsgBox(strPrompt, intbuttons, strTitle) = vbYes Then
Range("A716").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort.SortFields.Add
Key:=Range("C7:C16" _
), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending,
DataOption:=xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort
.SetRange Range("A716")
.Header = xlGuess
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
Range("F7:I16").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort.SortFields.Add
Key:=Range("H7:H16" _
), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending,
DataOption:=xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort
.SetRange Range("F7:I16")
.Header = xlGuess
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
Range("A2433").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range( _
"C24:C33"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort
.SetRange Range("A2433")
.Header = xlGuess
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
Range("F24:I33").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range( _
"H24:H33"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort
.SetRange Range("F24:I33")
.Header = xlGuess
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
Range("A4150").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range( _
"C41:C50"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort
.SetRange Range("A4150")
.Header = xlGuess
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
Range("F41:I50").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range( _
"H41:H50"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staff OT").Sort
.SetRange Range("F41:I50")
.Header = xlGuess
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
Range("A1").Select
End If
End If
End Sub

What I am needing to do is have another code so that the user can select
another cell K4 to undo the changes that have been made by the macro and to
also clear contents of cells B3, B4, B5 and C5.

Can anyone help me onthis code.

Many thanks

Mark

hi
macros skip all of the built in niceities of excel such as undo. a macro
does not remember what it did or the values it changed. so undo and macro are
like oil and water. not easily mixed but it can be done.
see this site.

good luck.

Hi Mark,

What I have always done when I want to undo a sort is to create a Master
Index in an extra column. You can either insert 1 then 2 in the first 2 cells
and Aufofill the cells down to the bottom of your data you you can insert
=ROW() and Copy down and then Copy the column and Past -> Special over top of
itself to remove the formulas.

The above can either be done as a permanent feature of the worksheet or you
can use code to create the Master Index just before the sort.

Then all you need to do is include the Master Index column in the sort and
to return to the original just sort on the Master Index.

You can hide the Master Index column.

Following code to clear contents of cells B3, B4, B5 and C5.

Range("B3:B5,C5").ClearContents

Close the workbook and don't save it. That'll undo the action you just made.
I know that's probably not what you want, but it has the desired effect.
