Adding A Global Name Inside A Worksheet Event
Apr 23, 2007
Working with named ranges is new to me, and very aggrevating to me too! I am trying to create a Named Range inside a worksheet_change event that is Global. I can create it, but it's always local to the sheet where the change event is happening.
For example:
Names.Add Name:="RandomName", RefersTo:=Target
...creates a local name instead of global one (whereas it would be global if it was created in just a normal subroutine).
Aside from using this trick: Change refersto property to workbook-level

As part of a program I'm writing in VBA (for Excel 2010), I have a textbox in a user form used as an interface to write a formula in cells in Excel.The resulting value of a formula from a cell is loaded up into the textbox. It would be shown in the textbox like "See 1.2 and 1.3" where the formula in the cell is
[Code].....
This is just used as an example but the principle is there. It is worth noting that I’m writing this for very inexperienced Excel users but I need them to be able to edit the string part of the formula without breaking the formula.
However where I’m struggling is to pick up a selection change event inside a text box already selected. I need to be able to check if the textbox.SelStart is within an address value or within the string in the textbox.
The event Enter won’t work if the user is already editing the textbox (i.e. typing stuff) and then clicking or using the keyboard arrow to move the cursor somewhere else inside the textbox. I don’t think the event Change is the solution either as it would mean that the user would have already typed something and as a result the formula may already be broken.
I have had a good look around and I didn’t find an event for a selection change inside a textbox. Does it exists and/or is there a way that would have the same result?

Is there a way to write a Worksheet_SelectionChange (ByVal Target As Range) event in module after creating a sheet in VBA? I constantly delete a sheet, then repopulate it with a new one that is empty, but I need to add some code that happens if they should change a particular cell. It worked when I ran it on a worksheet without refreshing, but as soon as I cleared and repopulated the sheet, it was gone. Is there a way to preserve this?

I am working on a workbook which uses a large number of variables. I am trying to keep them as "local" as possible to keep it simple. Some of my variables are local to the subs they're used in. Some are global as they're used by subs in several sheets. A third type of variable is used by several subs all belonging to the same sheet. Is there a way of declaring them so they're known by all subs in that sheet, but not by every sub in the workbook?

Is there any way in VBA to refer to a control in its own event procedure without referring to it by name/hard-coding?
It might be clearer to explain by a dummy code example:

I would like to ask the user if when the name the worksheet the same as an already existing spreadsheet tabe if they would like to overwrite it or unload the user form.
I am not sure of two things:
1. how to find the already existing tab?
2. Once I find out how do I programatically delete it, so the code can continue
The code below works with the exception of the last section (trying to achieve the questions stated above).
I am using Excel 2010.
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
If TextBox1.Value = blank Then 'Need name for processing
MsgBox ("Name must not be blank.")
Exit Sub
End If
If Len(TextBox1.Value) > 12 Then

I have a form that allows users to browse for a file so the location can be stored in a cell. When they select a file the form then creates another area so people can browse for another file. (Similar to an attach a file on an email)
The problem I have is that when I create the next button I don't know how to add a _click event to it.

I am trying to copy worksheet between 1 workbook to another. But even the worksheet was successfully copied but the code inside wasn't. Do I need to copy the VBA module manually (create new proc/sub) ? Or there is a setting during Worksheet copy process?

I have a spreadsheet that uses a function defined in VBA code that is housed in an add-in which is stored in the default location (C:Documents And Settings{user_name}Application DataMicrosoftAdd-Ins). To share this spreadsheet, I first install the add-in on the other person's computer. Then, when the other person opens the spreadsheet, the function doesn't work because the function call on the worksheet contains the whole path of the add-in (and the path contains my {user_name} rather than the other person's). So, the immediate solution is to just delete the path of the add-in from the function call (so that only the name of the function remains, plus the arguments of course). But this is quite inconvenient given the number of times the function appears in the worksheet, and it's not practical as we continue to share files like this.
My question is: is there a way to make sure that the 'C:Documents...' never gets added to the function call in the first place? I mean, why doesn't Excel just try to run the function locally before it adds that path that refers to a separate computer? I do realize that there are other methods of sharing VBA code. For example, I know that I could include the code in the specific spreadsheet that I'm trying to share, and this would work. But, that's not the answer I'm looking for (for one, the function refers to a very large amount of data stored in the add-in, and there are other reasons that make the aforementioned method impractical). I'm wondering if I'm missing something, and if there is a way to stop Excel from tacking on the path string to the function call, so that the function would just work on any computer as long as they have the add-in installed?

In cell A1, I have the month number (eg, 1, 2, 3,). The month number reflects current month and will automatically change with every month. For example, right now it’s 6, next month it will automatically change to 7. Each two columns in Range A10:X20 represents the data from January to December. I want to use a worksheet event to change the background of the current month two columns in the range to yellow color and the two columns in the range will be visible when I activate this sheet.

I need to to use VBA to copy a worksheet (which i've managed to do!), but I need the new worksheet to have a Worksheet_Change event. Now when I copy the worksheet, the event doesn't copy over (obviously as its a cut and paste jobby). Any ideas on what code I need to add in the Worksheet_Change event just after the new worksheet is automatically created?

I have seen many examples posted here that are close to what I need, but I am not experienced at writing code, so I am not sure how to make the changes to this code that apply to what I need. So I will try to explain what I am looking for & hopefully not be too long winded:
I have an excel workbook that has several worksheets within it - 10 of the worksheets are identical as far as the formulas that are in each of the cells, however, they are all VLOOKUP cells that refer to another excel workbook (used as a "database")which lists all of our projects - there is a cell in each of the 10 sheets that can be changed that will allow that particular worksheet to access the information in the "database worksheet" for the particular project name that is entered in this cell.
There is currently an event worksheet code for each of these worksheets which allows for a picture to be displayed "floating" above cell (L13) based on the project name that is showing in this cell- however it is based on all of the project pictures "living" in each worksheet (the picture that is called up by the project name is displayed while the rest are hidden - as per the formula)- the code is shown below:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim oPic As Picture
Me.Pictures.Visible = False
With Range("L13")
For Each oPic In Me.Pictures
If oPic.Name = .Text Then
oPic.Visible = True
oPic.Top = .Top
oPic.Left = .Left
Exit For
End If
Next oPic
End With
End Sub
However - this option works fine when there are 5 or 10 pictures/projects - but we are looking to grow our project database. So, I was hoping to be able to store the pictures in another location (such as another worksheet or in a file on the server - I would also appreciate input if anyone has an opinion on which would work better?) and have some type of worksheet event code that can be written in to each worksheet that would access the picture in this "central" location and have them appear in cell (L13) of each worksheet based on the project name displayed.

There is no such event in excel. Using a timer to constantly monitor any change of the ScrollRow/ScrollColumn of the activewindow is feasible but it is not worth it because of the strain that such a running timer would put on the application.
While playing around with some Controls via the "More Controls" icon on the ToolBox Toolbar, I came accross this ActiveX control named: InkPicture which has an interesting event called InkPicture_Painted and which basically fires every time it receives a repaint message.
I thought , maybe if i place one on the worksheet , the Control paint event would fire when scrolling the worksheet. Guess what: It worked
I embeeded one into the worksheet and reduced its width to a minimum so that it's almost invisible. I streched its height over 1000 rows so it covers a reasonable down/scrolling region.
Ok. Now, before I get too excited about this, there is a problem: Does this InkPicture Control come with all or most Office standard installations like the OWC controls? if so then great. if not, i should just forget about this whole thing. (i am running Office XP XL 2003)
Notice that there is also an annoying prompt upon opening a workbook containing an embeeded ActiveX control. Fortunatly, this can be avoided by adding a reference to the Control library ( MS Tablet PC Type Lib) Programatically , adding the Control at run time and hooking its events in a Class module.
here is a a workbook demo that shows an implementation of this custom Worksheet Scroll Event (it captures the event to prevent the user from scrolling down beyond the visible range ) : http://www.savefile.com/files/1158486
I would appreciate any feedback on this as i would like to know if it works on different machines/XL versions.

trying to get a worksheet change event to work. Basically the code below calls the time_start procedure when cell J16 downwards is selected.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Row > 15 And Target.Column = 10 Then
Call time_start
Else
End If
End Sub
However, I am lost from here on....Let me try and explain what it is I am trying to do. This seems so simple if you know how. Each time that the word "Completed" is entered in to a cell from J16 onwards, the cell two columns to the right on the same row is selected and the current date is entered.
If the word "Completed" is deleted, I want the date on that row to be deleted.
I would also like the choices "Completed" and a blank cell to be given in a validation list via a dropdown if possible to avoid occurances of "Complete" etc and mis-spellings but I understand that a bug may stop me from using this functionality. I am running Excel 2002 on a Windows XP Professional OS.

I'm having trouble copying a macro to a newly created sheet. I do like this:
ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("Kopier1").Export filNavn
For Each kopSheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Left(kopSheet. Name, 8) = "Inddata-" Then
kopSheet.Copy
ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & kopSheet.Name
ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("Kopier1").Export filNavn
Workbooks(kopSheet.Name & ".xls").VBProject.VBComponents. Import filNavn
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End If
Next kopSheet
I copy 6 sheets, named "Inddata-*", and i wan't to copy a module named "Kopier1" with it. I know that i can use an add-in, but that is unfortunately not a good idea in this project. It does export the module "Kopier1", but, it doesn't import it to the newly created workbook!

i currently have a workbbok that i have a very simple worksheet event macro that will filter a seperate sheets contents to the corresponding entry number. is there any way to make a dynamic event macro that will filter my second sheet depending on what cell is selceted on the first.
for example record 1 on sheet 1. if cell L1 is selected it will filter sheet 2 to to record 1, record 2 on sheet 1, if cell L2 is selected it will filter sheet 2 record 2 and so on. this list of records will continue to grow and i cant think of any way other than what i currently have, which is to make each filter macro for every cell.
is ther a better way example of CODE HERE
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Target.Address = "$L$5" Then
Call Filter1

I wrote a worksheet activate event (for wrksht1). It reads a list of customer inputs found on wrksht1 then parses these inputs into 'like' lists and pastes the results into a wrksht called ADIM. ADMIN is kept well hidden so our customer cannot mess with it. These parsed lists are then used as validation data with the drop down menus applied to cells found on wrksht2. So to recap, inputs on wrksht1 appear as drop down values for cells found on wrksht2. Here's the problem. The worksheet activate event is triggered whenever wrksht1 is activated and since the code changing the focus away from this wrksht and then back to it, it appears to enter an endless loop. At least I think that is what is happening. Is there a way to programmatically deactivate the event so that when focus returns to wrksht1 the event does not trigger and cause an endless loop? and then reactivate so the event triggers then next time the user changes focus.

I wish to exicute a procedure whenever the dropdown list is changed in that one cell. Everything I have seen in the Worksheet event threads is evaluating the contents of a cell and I am attempting to exicute if the cell changes.

I have a spreadsheet with a table of values in range E5 to T158.
A macro populates the table by looking up values on other sheets in the book. If the macro finds a value in the lookup for Row 7 of any column (ie E7,F7...T7) it populates the rest of the column with that value (E7 value gets pasted to E8:E158) THEN it protects the cells it pasted (E8:E158).
If the macro does NOT find a value for row 7, it simply skips it, leaving it blank, and continues to row 8 until it reaches row 158 of each column E to T.
I want to give the user flexibility with these values. So if the user either deletes E7 or changes the value of the contents in E7, I want to unprotect the cells of rows 8 to 158 for that column.
I have created a
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
in the private module for that sheet below. I thought it was working but it isn't doing anything when I change or delete the value in Cell E7 for example. Please help!
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Do nothing if more than one cell is changed
If Target.Cells.count > 1 Then Exit Sub 'Or IsEmpty(Target)

I'm trying to create a worksheet change event macro that will change the colour of the cell when you update the value in that cell.
I have column C with 140 rows and when one of the cells in the column is changed by the user, I need the same cell to highlight in yellow. The highlight would then be removed once the user has acted on the change in the value, and that'll be done in another macro.
I understand I need a worksheet change event macro in the specific sheet and need the following code for yellow:
Code:
.Interior.Color = RGB(255,255,0)
, but any further I get stuck as it involves 'target addresses'
