Assigning Macro And Using Relative Referencing
May 19, 2014
This one is a two parter. Part I is a bit of a necessity and Part II is a nice to have that would save me a boatload of time.
Part I: I need to assign a macro to a specific object in a cell. I've seen the code for targeting a static cell, but my data can be filtered and sorted.
For example, I have a cell in I6 that has text "Partial Deployment" that I want to run a macro on. If I were to sort alphbetically, this cell could end up as I20.
How to assign a macro to the text inside the cell? Also the text is not unique.
Part II: I would like to write a macro using relative referencing for similar to the below:
When user clicks on said object from Part I, the macro reads the corresponding column in that same row and users that to filter data on a separate spreadsheet.
Example: User selects "Partial Deployment" in cell I6, the macro references cell E6, copies the number "191", and uses that number to filter data on a separate spreadsheet.

The data is a copy of CSV file in to a spreadsheet. Below is what the paste looks like:
100100 Books
1234.ab
1345.bf
1456
1567
100100 Books
100200 Magazines
100300 Videos
1234.ab
1345.bf
1456
1567
100300 Videos
All of the numbers between the 100100 Books, 100300 Videos belongs to that category. This repeats hundreds of rows down. I need the column to the left of this range to display which division it under. I parse this in excel so Books, Videos, Magazines will be in their own column. I am not exporting the CSV so have to manipulate it in excel. I need to have the column to the left combine the whole identifier so I can perform a VLOOKUP on it. It should look as follows:
100100.1234.ab
100100.1345.bf
etc.
My approach was to get the column to the left of the range to display the correct division, then have another column combine by using (cell)&"."&(cell).

I have this LONG formula in a cell (J895). When I copy and then paste it to J937 I would expect it to act RELATIVE in respect to the rows on the same sheet. But instead, it pastes the same formula, like an ABSOLUTE....

I am working with data that is to be used for a regression analysis, and I am having trouble being able to find and replace multiple observations.
For example, column A has the two-letter abbreviation for each country in the world. Column B has the name of the corresponding country. At various places throughout the worksheet, names of countries exist.
I would like to find all instances of say "Albania" and replace them with "AL" then Algeria, Angola, Andorra, etc. Since columns A & B are in alphabetical order and the abbreviation and name correspond with one another, I would like to use a macro that will find all occurrences of the country name in the selected cell and replace them with the abbreviation then repeat the operation.
So, I need to:
1) Find all occurrences of the content in "B1"
2) Replace them with the content in "A1"
3) Repeat operation beginning at "B2"

I've found a few macros that will automate changing cell references from absolute to relative and they work great. However, when I run the macros on formulas that have references to another worksheet or workbook, the macro will not work correctly.

I have a workbook that when I open it opens a toolbar that was designed for it. I have been asked to make changes to this toolbar. One of the changes is to allow shortcut keys to run these modules. I have tried recording a macro and viewing the code, I tried applying this code there but it does not using the shortcut key. note that this toolbar is only available to this workbook, so these macros are not available to the personal workbook.

when we record a macro it gives us a option to assign a shortcut key to that macro how ever that is only in combination of "Ctrl" my question is that is there a way by which we can use any other combination like "Ctrl"+"Shift"+ <key>

Using workbook A, I have created a new workbook (let's call it workbook B), and have copied a module over to workbook B using macros.
My question is, is there a way to assign the module to a command button using vba?

i wrote the program and created a button on the toolbar. what i did not know was other people outside of my location will be using this program. so when they get the file, they will have to reassign the macro to the button since the file location will be different. i have already written instructions with screen shots in case the boss wants to go that way. i would like to do this with code. they would run another program which would get the path and name of the file and assign it to the macr.

I have a macro that runs when I click on a shape. This macro is called "Shape_Click"
I can apply that to a shape by selecting it and manually running this macro:
[Code] .....
How do I get the subroutine to run as soon as the new shape has been selected, rather than haviong to manually run it.
Something like "Sub Worksheet_ShapeAdded" or something like that? I can't work it out.

I have a workbook that has 2 similar worksheets. One called "Wood Shafts" and the other called "Iron Shafts" I have the macros worked out for the sheet called "Wood Shafts" and I just realised I need to apply similar Macros to the sheet called "Iron Shafts" (same functions but different values from different columns). Some how I need the code to be able to tell the difference between the two sheets. I am at a loss.

I have written the code below. And I found two problems:
1.The code stopped to work when I change from Paste to PasteSpecial.
Sub Copyfriction()
Dim DestWB As Workbook: Set DestWB = ActiveWorkbook
Dim DestWS As Worksheet: Set DestWS = ActiveSheet
Dim DestCLL As Range: Set DestCLL = ActiveCell
Dim UserChoice
UserChoice = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Text Files (*.xls),*.xls")
[Code] ........
2.As you see the right cell on the the destination sheet need to be selected. So Im planing to run the macro when double clicking the cell in question. I have tried the next
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Target.Address = "$A$6" Then
Copyfriction
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub

Is there any way to define a shortcut for an exisiting macro. The reason for this request is that after a lot of struggle I got a VBA code to work (as a macro)... initially I had created an icon and had linked the same to this macro.... However I feel that defining a short-key would be much more productive.

I have some excel sheets that are formatted like the following:
COMPANY | TOTAL | R | G | B
company1 | 10 | 255 | 000 | 000
company2 | 20 | 000 | 255 | 000
company3 | 30 | 000 | 000 | 255
...
and so on...
My question is that I would like to have a macro that runs on this basic file and creates a bar graph with the data. Then it utilizes the RGB values in the columns to change the specific bar for that row. So setting the r, g, b as variables corresponding to the columns in the sheet. Also there isn't a preset number of rows in the files.

I can record a macro that will sum a column of data at the end of data in that column - simple; my problem is getting it to work on other workbooks that have a different amount of rows in it. I tried recording the macro using the relative button as well as without using it, but either way I do it, I can never get it to work on a different workbook. For example, I record the macro, then remove a couple rows after to simulate running on another workbook, and then when I run it, the sum gets put in the cell that used to be the end of the column instead of the real end of the column…Same is true if I add some rows. I don't know if I am using the right terminology below (OK, I know I'm not) but it gets the message across best when I say I think I need something that will do the following (substitute "code" for "make believe code"):
1. Go To cell F1
2. Go To last entry In this column
3. Move down one cell
4. Sum F2:Fx (where x = one cell above current selection - the last populated cell In the column With data In it before the sum)
Instead of this (what I have right now)................

I have recorded macros in the attached file to highlight cells that contain matching initials by using conditional formatting on the first cell and copying it to the remaining cells. The problem is that if rows are inserted above that change the first cell reference then the macro no longer works properly. Is there a way to use a relative cell reference within the macro? The macro buttons are in cells A4 to A13. I have no VB experience and created the macros by recording keystrokes and using tips found in this forum.

This recorded macro inserts a line below the cell that active when it was first recorded. It then copies some text and a formula to the line that was created.
Sub Macro11()
Rows("10:10").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
Range("A9:E9").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("A10").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("H9").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Range("H10").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("F9").Select
End Sub
If you run this macro again at a different cell position, it goes back to the first starting position and repeats the same action. I see that the cell references from the first recording are fixed in the macro. I can't figure out how to make the macro use the new current cell position as the starting positiion when it runs again.

I have a macro in excel that saves to an external text file, but the excel workbook (and the text file) will be copied to different folders so i need it to alway read the file from the location the worksheet was opened from. I hope that makes sense
Ive tried using ActiveWorkBook.path but that doesnt work, maybe im just using it the wrong way
