Ambiguous Name Detected With Constant
Oct 24, 2007
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.

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
Range("T3").Select
sort_data

Receiving the following error:
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
End Sub

I have a userForm (Form1) that contains a persons name that I would like to reference in a separate UserForm (Form2). In the separate UserForm (Form2) I need to reference this persons name many times, so I was wondering if there was a was to declare this name in the separate UserForm (Form2) as a constant. Only thing is that a constant, to the best of my knowledge, must be an expression and not a variable. Mainly, I'm trying to avoid declaring the myName variable in each Sub within Form2, which it will be needed for a ton of Sub's.
Code for Form2: Const myName As String = Form1.txtName.Value

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

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.

what does the symbol # means in VBA? (but I couldn't put the # in the subject of my message )
I'm trying to understand someone's code... at some point he wrote:
sum_LU_Area = 0#
I thought that the # was used to declare a constant but I'm not too sure because in his code earlier he declared
Public sum_LU_Area As Double
Beside, sum_LU_Area is calculated somewhere further in the program.

Here is what I try to do:
At
A1 = Power(C1,B1)
A2 = Power(C2, B1)
A3 = Power(C3, B1)
....
An = Power(Cn, B1)
How can I increment column C while keeping B constant at B1 by using right-bottom mouse pointer dragging on column A? Or is there another way?

If I have a formula that I want to copy throughout a column, but I want to keep one of the parts of the formula constant, is there a short way to do this?
For example:
First cell is A1*O24
Second Cell is A2*O24
Third Cell is A3*O24
Right now when I try to copy the formulas, the second cell always reverts to A2*O25, which is not correct.

I need to make range ( "='Check_2G'!$Z$2:$Z$32" ) adjestable with varible like m instead of 32 in previous code.

Code:
Const Books1 = Array("5638", "5639", "10984")
Const Books2 = Array("3140", "7509", "3050", "7549", "7508", "7032", "6770", "6773", "4388", "6460")
I want to set an array as above for multiple use in my code (Used for auto-filtering various data with the same criteria).
The above is not allowed it seems, is there an alternative method so that if my Constant changes I only need to amend this once.

I've never had to venture into Arrays as there was no need.
I'm now faced with Arrays.
Generally I'm able to figure things out, in this case I'm stumped.
What I have is a Constant Array, that output the amount of Rows the Array displayed in.
I know the information is there, what I don't know is how to extend the rows.
ie it Outputs 5 Rows right now, with a top row header.
What I want is 10 rows with a header.

I want to basically set a varible that can be called back into a multiple of documents I will try and explain this as best as I can but it is a fortnightly pay date... i.e. 22/04/2009 Wednesday... as the payroll is fortnightly I want to be able to use the current date or todays date in a future proof macro.
i.e. if todays date is the 14/04/09 then the next pay date has to be the 22/04/09, if this was run in two weeks it would be 06/05/2009.
I was thinking a long the lines of lock in one start date... 14/01/09, then adding increments of 14 days until todays date - variable + 14 * r = "-"

I'm looking to run several subs in a module which all refer to the same constant but I'm having difficulty defining that constant in a way that the various subs will accept. Basically I'm trying to define a constant LastRow. I am fairly new to VBA so am not sure whether to use a Get LastRow public property (which I tried to use and failed) or a Function and then how to make this readable by all the subs.

assume we have constant P = 100, K=50 and F=10.
I would like to "lock" these cells, and have a variable which could adjust and this variable would multiplicate each one and put out the number.
For example:
P = 100
K = 50
F = 10
Variable: 10 this would generate a sum of:
P = 1000
K = 50
F = 10

Ok, I have a spreadsheet that I use to track the majority of my work throughout the day. I have about 10 columns that I use for my own information, and about 4 of them that my colleagues need updates on. I have one sheet "worktracking" and another sheet "printable." Printable has just the 4 columns of info that my colleagues might need, formatted in a way that prints out nicely. Each column in "printable" references a column in "work tracking" like this
='worktracking'!c2
Now the problem that I'm running into is that I routinely delete rows from the "worktracking" sheet, which results in a reference error on the "printable" sheet. I am wondering if there is a way to rework it, such that when I delete a row from "worktracking," then "printable" just does the same, and only retains rows that have data in them...
