Select Row For Active Cell
Feb 5, 2007I need to select the row for the active cell without using an explicit RC address. I don't seem to be able to make the syntax work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSelect Shape In Active Cell
Mar 30, 2014I am trying to select a shape in a cell and place a cell reference into the shape. I know the cell address, but do not know the shape reference. (The row that the cell and shape reside came from copying the row from another sheet and inserting it into the current sheet). I can not seem to come up with the correct code to accomplish this. Right now I have:
Cells(r + 1, 48).Select
ActiveCell.Shapes.Select
ActiveShapes.Formula = "$AW:" & r + 1
Where r+1 is the row where the line finally resides after insertion and "AW" is the column to the right of the cell where the shape resides.
I have tried to put the cell reference into the shape at the location where it is copied from but the reference is not dynamic and I can not seem to get it to be. Another issue that will arise is that the rows in the new sheet will probably be sorted and I question if the cell reference will follow the shape's new location.

Aug 21, 2009Using vba how do I tell a macro to select the row that the active cell is in?
I'm just using a basic delete Row macro but I'd like for the macro to automatically select the entire row when it's time to delete instead of me highlighting the section.
VBA If Statement - Select Active Cell
Oct 14, 2013If statement, any way where I can, when I run the macro, choose active cell?
Ex.
Start macro
and it will ask for active cell,
check if active cell higher then 0
then set cell to color red
I have this atm:
Code:
Sub LookForValue()
' Declare Current as a worksheet object variable.
Dim Current As Worksheet
' Loop through all of the worksheets in the active workbook.

Select And Copy Range From Active Cell

View 6 Replies View RelatedSelect A Range Based On Active Cell Location?
Oct 27, 2009I'm trying to select a range of cells whereby the range is dependent on the currently active cell. I know you can use the "Activesheet.Range("A1:D2").select" method to select a range where the cells are always the same, but I'm after a dynamic selection where the values can be programmatically altered depending on some other result.
For example, let's say that I make a certain cell active (based on the result of some other formula), and I want to select the range of cells in the adjacent column that is X rows deep. Putting this into context, imagine the resultant active cell is B2, I then want to select the range C2:C10, but if the active cell is E10, the range selected would be F10:F18 (if active cell is X, then range would be Y:Z).
The Offset function would allow me to position the cell based on the current active one, but it doesn't let me select a range. The Range function only lets you choose either hard coded or index cells, e.g. "Range(cells(y,z), cells(y,z)).select", but this is still no good because I'd need to know the index value of the active cell (can this be done?).

View 9 Replies View RelatedEmpty Cell Versus Null
Apr 29, 2007How exactly does Excell treats uninitialized variables ? I have created a function which takes in one of the cell values as a parameter.. However, it seems that when I don't reference an empty cell, the code does not work. Let the function be ABC, and the let the cell be A1
When I use
=ABC(....,A1,....) , it works
However, when I use
=ABC(....,,....) I am getting an eror
Now , I tried using the IsEmpty function , and it seems tht when i use ,, or ,"", then the variable is not caught.. however, the variable is caught when i use an empty cell such as ,A1,
FYI, I am using the vba's formula method to assign this function to a cell. So when I use
"," & ActiveCell.Offset(to reach A1).Value & "," , I see blank ,, when A1 is empty
Find Total Hours By Searching Entire Rows Below Selected Cell Versus Cells In A Column
May 19, 2014I'm using the following code to delete select rows one at a time. I need the last row in the range to remain therefore I prevented the user from deleting the row one up from the row that contains "Total Hours" (which is always in Column B). The code works great as long at the user clicks into a cell in column B. If the user clicks into a cell in column A, C, D, E, F, G, H, or I then the code allows the user to delete the last row.
I believe I need to search entire rows to determine if the row contains "Total Hours" .

Excel 2003 :: Highlight Cell On Same Row As Active.cell Whenever Active.cell Changes
Dec 10, 2012whenever the active cell is within a given range, highlight the cell on the same row in column S (by changing its interior colour). This should occur each time the active cell is changed, whether by cursor keys or mouse. The effect would be similar to the row and column highlights at left and top of the worksheet.
This action should be restricted to one sheet in the workbook.
It's for Excel 2003.

View 8 Replies View RelatedAuto_xxxx() Versus Event Handlers
Apr 14, 2008By the time I started using a lot of VBA, the Auto_Open() and Auto_Close() methods' use was waning, supplanted by the _Open() and _BeforeClose() event handlers for the workbook object. So I never really got into the habit of using them.
However, I've been reading Bullen, Bovey & Green's book Professional Excel Development1 and they use Auto_Open() quite a bit. So I've been plinkin' around a bit trying to suss out the differences. Do I have this more or less correct?
If I put in both an Auto_Open() in a standard module and a Workbook_Open()in the WB's code module both execute. But if I were to have Application.EventsEnabled set to FALSE; the Auto_Open() still executes upon opening the workbook whereas the Workbook_Open() will not?2 And that since the open event handler runs before the Auto_Open() subroutine, using the Auto_Open() to insure that events are enabled does not cause the WB_Open() event handler to fire.
Auto_Close() runs even if EnableEvent = FALSE and (of course) WB_BeforeClose(...) does not fire. HOWEVER, just to make things interesting: if EnableEvents = TRUE and I hold down the SHIFT key while opening, neither of the open procedures fires. Whereas if I hold don the SHIFT key when closing, the _BeforeClose() event still gets raised; but the Auto_Close() does not run.
Does that about sum up the differences? Or are there more differences that I should be aware of?
1. If you have developed a few complex projects and more-or-less can run back through Walkenbach's PowerProgramming with VBA book without seeing too much that you've forgotten; then this is the book to take you to the next level.
2. Both scenarios assume that macros are enabled.

I researched online and put one together from stuff I've seen posted but when I email the file, the receiver can not see the image.

Is there a way to embed the picture using the same macro without the sender having to send the picture and the worksheet?

Calculate Percentage Difference Between Budget Versus Actual
May 6, 2014Here's my example: We budgeted $15,000 (cell C38) for tuition reimbursement and YTD have already paid out $11,500 (cell B38).
I currently have the formula =100*B38/C38
This returns the answer $76.67. When I format the column to percentage, it the returns the answer 7666.67%.
How do I get this to read as 76.67%???
