Via Google Apps Script I am copying Data Validation rules from a range with one col to several cols offsetted to said one. Its been done on a freshly duplicated sheet - also by script (with: .insertSheet(newSheetName, {template: sheet});)
Code to copy data validations from one col to the next on the right:
Seems to execute somehow. However, when I want to use the dropdown on that cells to select a data point I just shows a field "Loading ..."
When checking the data validation via the gui the right named range is set as the "list of a range".
Even when then resetting it manually it still shows that "Loading ..." field.
Whats wrong there?

I'm hard stuck with this one so any advice welcome!
Ive been trying to create a flow that goes to this website https://dlv.tnl-uk-uni-guide.gcpp.io/ and scrapes the data from each table in the Subject Areas drop down list. My knowledge of HTML is sketchy at best but from what I understand it's a dynamic html table that just refreshes with new data rather than going to a new url. I can extract the subject list as a variable and in my head i think i just need to add this to a UI selector action but despite numerous attempts i've got absolutely nowhere. Anyone got any ideas as to how i could fix this or work around?
Because it is not a conventional drop-down using the "Set drop-down list value on web page" doesn't work all that well.
You can use a bit of javascript and variables for this.
Hit F12 to show developer tools, you will see there is a list of hidden items with the class class="gug-select-items gug-select-hide" you will use this in the javascript.
Then add a 'Press button on web page' function and add the 'drop-down' element, which is a <div>
Then edit the element selector and change it to text editor.
then change the selector to make use of the nth-child(0) selector but use a variable for the index.
so it looks something like #gug-overall-ranking-select > div.gug-select-items > div:nth-child(%ddIdx%)
Use the "Run JavaScript function on web page" function to get the number of options available to the drop-down. (child elements)
The returned result is text, so convert it to a number that can be used in the loop.
function ExecuteScript() { /*your code here, return something (optionally); */
var firstDDlist = document.querySelector("#gug-overall-ranking-select > div.gug-select-items.gug-select-hide");
return firstDDlist.children.length;
}
In the loop each element will be pressed and cause the table to reload.
The table data extraction can then also be done in the loop, but that this code only shows the looping through the options.
The full flow 'code' (copy this and paste it in power automate).
WebAutomation.LaunchEdge.LaunchEdge Url: $'''https://dlv.tnl-uk-uni-guide.gcpp.io/?taxonomyId=36&/#gug-university-table''' WindowState: WebAutomation.BrowserWindowState.Normal ClearCache: False ClearCookies: False WaitForPageToLoadTimeout: 60 Timeout: 60 BrowserInstance=> Browser
WebAutomation.ExecuteJavascript BrowserInstance: Browser Javascript: $'''function ExecuteScript() { /*your code here, return something (optionally); */
var firstDDlist = document.querySelector(\"#gug-overall-ranking-select > div.gug-select-items.gug-select-hide\");
return firstDDlist.children.length;
}''' Result=> numberOfItems
Text.ToNumber Text: numberOfItems Number=> itemCount
LOOP ddIdx FROM 1 TO itemCount STEP 1
WebAutomation.PressButton.PressButton BrowserInstance: Browser Control: appmask['Web Page \'h ... sity-table\'']['Div \'gug-select-selected\''] WaitForPageToLoadTimeout: 60
END
It should end up looking like this:

With using Power Automate Desktop (PAD), the goal is to be a low-code solution. Of course knowing HTML is a bonus and will help you on tricky webpages or problems, but not knowing much is alright usually. I'm not really comfortable going to that web page you shared but you could try the below option.
PAD has a built in function in the action pane:
'Browser automation' > 'Web data extraction' > 'Extract data from web page'
Try using that and when asked to add UI Element select the table/dropdown list to see what information you get back. If that doesn't work you might need to try out JavaScript or another method.
In my vb6 project, I created my own msgbox using a form, due to difficulties in changing
the font/language of in-built msgbox. A search with google gave the idea of own msg-
box rather than trying msgbox of VB. Now the problem is : - when the user exits the
program, 3 options are given: to close, to restart and to cancel exit. The user need not
again go through the process of giving password etc in restart option. If I give cancel =
true in the QueryUnload event, then 2nd option does not work, 3rd option works. If
cancel = true is not given, 2nd option works, but 3rd option does not. It appears that
the main form does not get unloaded if cancel = true. Unless & until the main form
unloads, the program will not work with the fresh data to be given by the user in the
initial Form. Since the code after "msgbox.show" depends on options, it is not possible
to write that code in the same sub, not even in the same form code. Is there any way
to stop the subsequent code after "msgbox.show" and continue the same after getting
option? (like in the in-built msgbox of VB.) I am not an expert in VB, so please correct
if I made some mistake; also help with advice/suggestions.
EDIT:- [Extended explanation]
The 3 forms in my project:
Initial form for password, data etc. This is input Form for user.
Main Form. This Form shows the results after process of input.
frmMsgBox. This is a custom msgbox created using a form.
Main Form code portion. Code for closing the program:
Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel as.......)
cancel = True
frmMsgBox.Label1.caption = Do you wish to 1.Exit 2.Restart
3.Cancel the exit?
frmMsgBox.Show
End sub
(The above msgbox is almost like an in-built msgbox in VB with
vbYesNoCancel buttons) The message is in regional language,
which was the main reason forced me to use my own msgbox.
After MsgBox appears, the user selects one of the above options
using 3 commandButtons placed in that Form. The code after
clicking these buttons is written in the code portion of frmMsgBox:
Command1_Click 'This is for Exit from the Program.
All Forms.unload, All forms set to nothing, end.
Command2_click 'This is for restarting the Program.
Unload Main Form, set to nothing
Load Initial Form
Initial Fom.show
frmMsgBox.Hide
Command3_Click 'This is for cancelling the exit request.
Main Form.Show
frmMsgBox.Hide
With the above code, I have no problem with options 1 & 3,
i.e; to exit from the program or to start. The frmMsgBox hides,
the initial form shows - these are OK, but the main form does
not unload nor it is removed from memory. Because of this,
whatever new data is given by the user in the initial form now
is not being processed, the main form is struck with the old results.
If cancel = true is removed from the code above, Options 1 & 2
are OK, but option 3 does not work. Then the Main Form loses
all its results (all labels, texts etc in that Form turn blank.)
I have the following issue:
I created an Excel sheet in XLSB format.
To protect that sheet, password generated by performing some operations on present month and year which would be a numeric value.
Used input box to get a password from the user in a string variable.
step 2 and 3 done in workbookopen event.
I closed the workbook and when again opened was prompted for the password which would never match even though I know the password.
What to do now? I have tried disabling macros but it doesn't seem to work.
finally tried following command
Application.EnableEvents = False
Which does exactly what i want but is not working for my sheet, though same is working fine for another trial sheet.
Sub disableCtrEvents()
Application.EnableEvents = False 'disable Events
Workbooks.Open "<path>\Wall area.xlsb"
Workbooks.Open "<path>\STAAD to steel drawing.xlsb"
End Sub
Following three files can be dowloaded from the link
test.xlsm - containing events disabling code (written above) and code to open other two sheets.
wall area.xlsb - trial sheet to check whether events are disabled or not.
STAAD to steel drawing.xlsb - actual file wherein i want to disable workbook open event

I have an image inside the editor using plugin 'imagetools' and added an additional image operation on it (that works fine). After this custom operation is done I'm loosing the selection of the image, that I try to select again.
Since the image is initally selected I would have the chance to capture some information to select it again after custom image operation. But whatever I try it doesn't work:
Before operation (while the image is selected by user):
var node = tinymce.activeEditor.selection.getNode();
After operation:
tinyMCE.activeEditor.dom.select(node);
-> nothing selected
tinyMCE.activeEditor.selection.select(node);
-> Error: Argument 1 ('refNode') to Range.setStart must be an instance of Node
I assume the solution is pretty simple. I just don't get it and tinymce documentation is not really helpful on this.
Found it: You can set a bookmark before doing any changes on or inside the element:
var bookmark = tinymce.activeEditor.selection.getBookmark();
After element processing you set back the bookmark:
tinymce.activeEditor.selection.moveToBookmark(bookmark);
Now your previously selected element should will be selected again.
So i have an HTA that populates a combo box based on SCCM client installs that are available and have not yet been run. Everything works fine except for the combo box whats supposed to happen is whatever program is selected runs, and is then installed and removed from the Combo box. However no matter what program i select the first Item is removed every time, I've tried a few different variations but nothing seems to work, any help is appreciated.
Dim i
strSelectedValues = ""
' Check all the Options of the ListBox
For i = 0 To (objComboBox.Options.Length - 1)
' Check if the Current Option is Selected
If (objComboBox.Options(i).Selected) Then
' Collect only the Selected Values
strSelectedValues = strSelectedValues & objComboBox.Options(i).Value
End If
Next
'Remove selected program to install from the Combo box list
ComboBox1.Remove(SelectedItem)
According to this authority, .remove needs the number/index of the option to remove. SelectedItem seems to be undefined/empty/for practical purposes: zero in your code; then it seems reasonable that the first option vanishes. So try
ComboBox1.Remove ComboBox1.selectedIndex
(perhaps guarded by a check that there is a selected option - or should it go into the loop?)
