I am trying to automate the updating of range names in a spreadsheet.
On Sheet 1 Col 1 I have the names of all the existing range names.
In col 2 the new range names.
On sheet 2 the data referenced via range names.
I am getting stuck renaming the old range to the new name.
Sub Test()
Dim sName As String, nName As String
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("a1").Select
Do While ActiveCell ""
sName = ActiveCell.Value
'MsgBox sName
Application.Goto Reference:=sName
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Activate
nName = ActiveCell.Value
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
ActiveCell.Name = "nName"
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Activate
Loop
End Sub
I am aware that special characters such as -,(,),[,] are not permitted in named ranges (for lists), but is there a workaround for this? I have a lot of dependent lists that need to access names that contain either a - or () or both. I could simply remove the -'s or ()'s using find/replace, but they are required, as they're part of the name. I am aware of this method http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html#Illegal but I have a lot of dependent lists across a sheet, and a VLOOKUP isn't going to work. If there isn't a workaround, are there any allowed characters I could use to replace the -'s and ()'s?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with multiple tabs. On sheet one a person chooses a date to initialise a formula. That date is then copied to sheet two and placed in cell D5. The date is projected out for two weeks and then the next fornight starts on sheet three and so on. The start date for each new fortnight appears in cell D5 of each sheet. I want that information to be the name of the tab for sheet two, three etc. I have put this code into the "This Workbook" section:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
' Renames all worksheet tabs with each worksheet's cell A1 contents.
'If cell A1 has no content, then that tab is not renamed.
For i = 1 To Sheets.Count
If Worksheets(i).Range("$D$4").Value "" Then
Sheets(i).Name = Worksheets(i).Range("$D$4").Value
End If
Next
End Sub
I have also tried:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$D$4" Then ActiveSheet.Name = Left(Target.Value, 10)
End Sub
I then go back into sheet one and change the date and nothing happens. I seem to be missing something. Can anyone please help?
I have some code which looks through a logfile, and creates new worksheets based on items found in a particular column. This is normally working fine. However, there is a particular case where the item in the column is too long - it is actually the path name of a particular file, and which exceeds 31 characters.
This is causing an error in VBA. Is there a way that the worksheet can be renamed if the character string is too long?

Looking for a way to insert small photos into a excel spreadsheet.Would it work with data validation or even a lookup table.The photos need to be inserted every 8th row.Is it best to name each photo?I`m not started yet as i not sure if this is even a possibility but if there are ways i will make an attempt...Maybe a VBA code could automatic insert them when a button is selected..they are 2 columns x 4 rows in size the photos
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat I'm trying to do is from a template worksheet that I have in a workbook with other worksheets, I'm trying to come up with code that will create a new worksheet based on the template (copy), increment the invoice number, and rename the worksheet tab to be "Invoice # xxxx" (new invoice number from prev. step.).
I have figured out how to use a button on the template to execute, but as I said my VBA skills are lacking to say the least.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIf I have a column of data with a defined name is there an easy way to update this as data is added? Can this be done when you open the workbook and without? I'd assume an open event could do it but I'm having problems finding a simle solution.
I have a Spreadsheet with five columns. The column headings begins in rows 3 and 4(merged), these are Reg.#, Rank, First Name, Last Name and Station respectively.
The 5 row is used as a filter row. Therefore my Data Range is from A6:E505. So far I have input some data up to row 25.
Problem: Each time I input data I have to sort manually, I need a VBA Code to paste to automatically sort by Last Name even as I continue to input data in the other rows.
I have a range of 9 cells located in A2 to A10. The name of this range should be whatever the text in cell A1 is.
The Problem is that the content of cell A1 can change since it is reflecting the content of another cell on a different sheet.
My probelm is that once i define the range to be named according A1 it will keep that name, even if the content of A1 changes.
How can i program in VBA that the name of the cells in range A2 to A10 always is whatever isthe text in A1 is? If Aq changes the name of the cells in range A2 to A10 should change as well; Plus the old name should be deleted.
I think it might work with some event trigger and then a automatic naming of a range. I tried a few things but nothing really worked. (not very exeprianced vit VBA)
I have a list of names in column A, and want to automatically create worksheets within this same workbook based on the list.
List of values:
Dairy NI
Dairy SI
Sheep and Beef
Equine
Sports Turf
Water Industry
Horticulture Services
Production Horticulture
Other Agriculture
Therefore, a macro or coding to automatically create 9 spreadsheets named as per this list.... My list is approximately 50+ hence inquiring if there is an easier way!
Is there a way to automatically create list of the Tab names, and have it automatically update when new tabs are added?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to use the VLOOKUP feature from the most latest files, I am using VLOOKUP in VBA code which is working fine, however the problem is that the files from where I do VLOOKUP are added randomly in a week.
Ex:
There are 2 Files, 1st File where the data would be looked up from the 2nd File, Now the 2nd File has names like this "Offline Data as on 10th May 14", "Offline Data as on 13th May 14", "Offline Data as on 23rd May 14", etc.
Now these files are send by another department, and each time the most recent data has to be searched from these files.. All of these files have to be maintained separately for record purposes.
Hence in the VLOOKUP, Lookup file keeps on changing...so is it possible to make a code in such a way that the code picks up the most recent file for reference, from the above example we would need to pull the data from the most latest file which is "Offline Data as on 23rd May 14" , if any other file is added in that folder more recent than the one mentioned than the code should automatically link it to that file.
I have managed to codify the lookup but due to this filenames being changed always I have to do this manually..as this has to be done at several columns in several sheets its extremely time-consuming.
So, logic code to pick the most recent date which is embedded in the filename...
I'm fairly new to using excel and have been trying to create a simple spreadsheet that keeps track of scores and automatically displays the names of the players in descending order. Anyway I have gotten to the point of using hookup to match a value and return that players name. But when two players have the same score it will only return the first found value. I sort the number scores using a LARGE function and it works great. Then I use something like this =HLOOKUP(Y2,B27:K28,2,FALSE) to match that value with the players name. How to return the other players name when the scores are the same?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a basic formula =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'!C24, and I want to copy it down just using the drag function. Problem is that the second reference range of cells are in rows and hence when I copy it down it doesn’t automatically update the cell references because it want to update them by column number instead of row number. IE I want it to display =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'!
D24, instead of C25. Do you know if there is any way of telling Excel that I want it to increase the column number by 1 every time, instead of the row number for this part of the formula?
I am fairly new to macros and have trouble with VBA. I have a file with multiple worksheets. Each worksheet contains the name of a specific location in cell A8.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a list of names all in one column, separated by row...
Example...
John Doe

I want to count how many times each name appears. Like this:
John Doe | 2
Jane Doe | 3
James Jones | 2
This is a very large list of names and I prefer not to have to type each single name into a formula because there are hundreds of separate names.
I'd like to be able to repeat a list of names X number of times.
Example: Repeat count = 3
Name1

Name3
Name4
becomes
Name1

I have a list of names in say column A, but the names are prefixed with numbers. So, for example you have 2 Peter Jones, 5 Johnny Piper, 10 Andrea, 3 St. Mary's, 13 White etc.
I want to return these list of names in another column say B, but without the prefixed numbers. So, column B will have Peter Jones, Johnny Piper, Andrea, St. Mary's, White etc.
I need a macro which checks for next available number from list of filenames in a folder. Then it returns that value to one predefined cell in a new document (here Untitled.xls). For example:
c: est
has the following files:
Untitled.xls - read only
abc-09-001.xls
abc-09-002.xls
abc-09-003.xls
abc-09-004.xls
Next available filename should be "abc-09-005" and macro returns that value to predefined cell in a new document (Untitled.xls). There should be NO saving at this point whatsoever. Macro simply picks the next value from a filelist. As you've noticed the value has some constants too. New document doesn't know the last picked value before macro is active (predefined cell should be empty at startup).
I need a formula which can pick out the names from string of text, each name follows "-->", the number of names in each cell differs and is undefined. The result needs to be posted into each column following these cells.
An example of a cell is below:
"W/L FIGHTER Str TD Sub Pass EVENT METHOD ROUND TIME
Loss -->--> Tom Aaron -- -- -- -- Strikeforce - Hen... U. DEC 3 5:00
-->--> Matt Ricehouse -- -- -- -- Dec. 4, 2010
Win -->--> Tom Aaron -- -- -- -- Strikeforce - Hea... SUB 1 0:56
-->--> Eric Steenberg -- -- -- -- May. 15, 2010 Guillotine Choke"
I have tried using text to columns but everything after the first line is not recognised (when I click finish anything after "TIME" is simply not there).
