I need to use both of these VBA scripts in my excel project. The first is this:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Sheets("Sheet2").Range(ActiveCell.Address).Value = 1 Then
ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
End Sub
The second is this:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim lScrollRow As Long
Dim lScrollColumn As Long
Dim lTargetRow As Long
Dim lTargetColumn As Long
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
lScrollRow = ActiveWindow.ScrollRow
lScrollColumn = ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn..................
When I enter both into the script box and then try to run it, it says that there is a compile error with an "ambiguous name detected "worksheet_selectionchange"
my macros to search for the word "Cancel" in columns "T". Once found, I need the macros to make that entire row a certain pattern ( .Pattern = xlGray16)
There will be other wording in these cells that contain "Cancel" or "Cancelled".
A compile error keeps occurring. It says "Ambiguous name detected: FormatCell"..
I want to include a progress bar in my macro and have got the code from another website. However, after the progress bar is displayed i cannot get it to move to the next line of code in the module. In the example i've got, the code in the user form window simply calls a sub called "main" and continues on through that sub. Whenever i call one of my sub routines an error box states" ambiguous name detected". This never happens with the sub called "main"? Why is this happening? A portion of the code is shown below. After "userform1.show", the user form is displayed but the program will not move on to "get_blades" sub routine?
Browse_Folder ' Sub routine "browse_folder" selected to select folder ' containing the mea files.
UserForm1.LabelProgress.Width = 0 UserForm1.Show
' HourGlass
get_blades (lookinname) ' Use sub routine get_blades
Option Explicit Public Const ARK As String = "Inddata-ARK" Public Const VVS As String = "Inddata-VVS" Public Const KON As String = "Inddata-KON" Public Const EL As String = "Inddata-EL" Public Const LD As String = "Inddata-LD" Public Const KØL As String = "Inddata-KØL" Public Const OpDat As String = "Opdatering"
And then macro's under it... So the aboce is in module "INIT_S". Now in another module "RUN_P" I have a sub-rutine that uses these constants with a select case. Likes this:
Sub OpEksInitNu() Select Case ActiveSheet. Name Case ARK With OpEks 'more stuff Case VVS 'more stuff Case KON 'more stuff End Sub
But when I try to run OpEksInitNu i comes with ambigious name with ARK as the error, later down I use another public constant. But i keep getting the ambigious name error.. What could cause that... I have tried to locate all ARK, VVS etc. to try to determine if it is used later on, but it's not! I only declare the constants one time, and no module is called ARK, VVS etc.
Hello, Im using a script that allows me to autocomplete a data validation list using a combo box and the code shown below. However I am getting a compile error ambigous name detected and the following line is highlighted
"Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)"
I know its because this is used twice but I am not sure what to do in order to fix this.
I need to have this spread sheet date when a cell is changed. I have set up the Visual Basic editor and it works for the column D when updated puts the date in column E.
But I have duplicated what I want for the other columns but I get ambiguous name detected and the other columns do not work my knowledge of macros has hit its limit ...

Compile Error: Ambiguous name detected: Worksheet_Change
How can I resolve this? Is there a way to combine these two (2) statements?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address = "$O$3" Then Range("B2:L13").ClearContents Range("A17:A27").Copy Sheets("Letter").Range("A16:A26").PasteSpecial xlValues Application.CutCopyMode = False End If
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address = "TextBody" Then Range("A17:A27").Copy Sheets("Letter").Range("A16:A26").PasteSpecial xlValues Application.CutCopyMode = False End If
I'm running a sheet with three pieces of code (all blagged from these forums thank you) Two of the sub procedures have the same name "worksheet_change which generate an ambiguous name error. This I sort of understand. However I've tried changing the second one of the subs names to "worksheet_change1" and whilst the ambiguous name error goes away the sub routine then fails to function.
I've got two macros that work beautifully apart from one another ... but put the two in the same Excel workbook and they bump heads. I get the infamous "Ambiguous name detected: Worksheet_Change"
I know enough about VB to get myself into trouble. So, I'm asking for help from a talented person to show me how to combine the two ... or another work around to get through this.
Here are the two sets of code in my sheet that I think are causing the ambiguous name problem. How can I work around this error?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim varFind As Variant If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub If Target.Column 2 And Target.Column 9 Then Exit Sub If IsEmpty(Target) Then Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 0
If Target.Column = 2 Then
Set varFind = Columns(16).Find(What:=Target.Value, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlWhole) If varFind Is Nothing Then Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 0 Else Target.Interior.ColorIndex = Cells(varFind.Row, 16).Interior.ColorIndex End If End If
During a copy and paste I forgot to change the name of a macro in a module which had many macros. Now when I want to open that file , it hangs and does not open. how to open the file to change the name of the macro and re-save it ?
I was told that the following code would enable my macro to execute every time the user interacts with anything Excel:
Code: ' Repeatedly check for user interaction whenever a change is detected Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Call TestMacro End Sub
It doesn't work...
To put it into context, he is my entire program:
Code: Sub TestMacro()' ' TestMacro Macro ' ' Create string variable Dim undoText As String ' Assign the text to string variable
[Code] ......
My being new to VBA doesn't work in the situation as my programming instincts tell me to set up an infinite loop to continually check for interaction something like the following:
Code: while( x == 1 ) { do MY_CODE; if( USER_CLOSES_EXCEL ) x == 0; } // end while
However, Excel is apparently 'Event Driven' so I'd love to know how to use this to my advantage in keeping my macro running.
I've run into a problem detecting empty cells. I'd like to search down a column of numbers and count the cells that contain numbers and ignore the cells that are empty. If the cells were made empty of their data by manually using the delete key before hand then my macro works fine. The problem is if the cells were manually made empty using the space bar to clear their contents.. then the macro seems unable to detect them as empty.
I have tried "", IsEmpty, and a few other things and nothing detects the cell as empty unless the delete key is used rather than the space bar. For this macro I really need the user to be able to clear values beforehand using the space bar, and to have those cleared cells be detected as empty cells.
