Call Macro Using Variable As Name
Feb 7, 2014
I am trying to run different macros by clicking various different buttons on the sheet, I then want different data to load into the user form depending which button was pressed. So I have buttons named "SV_1" and another named "SV_2". when either button is pressed then it runs a common macro that gets the name of the calling item. then I want to add "Macro" to the beginning of the calling item name and then call that macro. here is the code that I am working with, when using a watch i can see the value of the variable is "MacroSV_1" when button 1 is pressed but I cannot get it to run the Sub.
VB:
Public ClkBtn As String
Public CallMacro As String
Sub ItemCall()
[Code] ......

The attached file contains a simplified version of a more complex macro in which a sub routine will be called a number of times to change the colours of cells in different ranges. However, an error is triggered because the a variable and range are not defined in the subroutine although they are in the main part of the macro.
I know I am missing something obvious here, but I'd appreciate any help in knowing how I can define the ranges in the main procedure and then call the subroutine to change values in the different ranges.

Say you define a public range variable called Inputworksheet and you set it to refer to the worksheet called Inputworksheet. You have a separate string variable with the value Inputworksheet. How do you get this string variable value to call/control the range variable Inputworksheet?
I am getting an excel worksheet value from a lookup function that corresponds to the name of a VBA range variable. Once I have this worksheet value, I would like to use the range variable that has the same name as the worksheet value.

I'm playing around with the Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean) function. I have a list of people in Column D that I'd like to move data around if the user double clicks on a cell in Column D. The list is about 158 rows long, and could grow beyond that. I've gotten lazy typing:
If Intersect(Target, Range("D4") Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
Else
{My Code Here}
End If
If Intersect(Target, Range("D5") Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
Else
{My Code Here}
End If
Etc, Etc, Etc
What I was hoping to do is use a variable (t) to cycle through the rows and call the various functions. So what I came up with is:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
Dim t As Integer
Dim Subtest As String
For t = 4 To 158
Subtest = "D" & t
I've created Sub D4(), Sub D5(), and Sub D6() as a test. This didn't work at all as it's looking for a Subtest(). Also, clicking on D5, D6, didn't do much either. Is there any way to make this cycle work, or should I keep typing away?

I have 46 drop downs that I need to call from a main sub. I want to create one loop that will call each one to perform its function. Below is a simple example of what I am trying to do, but where I need help is with the 'Call Y' line. I am not sure what character to use to tell excel to look at what is in the value of Y, not 'Y' itself
Sub testitout()
Dim y As String
For X = 1 To 2
Sheets(" Lookup"). Range("E3").Value = X + 4
y = "dropdown" & X & "_change()" 'this will return "dropdown1_change()" for the first loop
Call y 'i want to call dropdown1_change() below

I'm trying to call another sub with a variable string. I'm using excel 2007. I get the error "Compile Error: Expected Sub, Function, or Property" on the "Call" code. The want the code to run multiple different subs based on user input. For example if they typed "this" it would run the t sub, then h sub, then I sub and finally the s sub.
Code example
Dim Uncvrtdtxt as string
Dim SubName as string
Dim i as integer
Uncvrtdtxt = "this"
For i =1 to Len(Uncvrtdtxt)
SubName = Mid(Uncvrtdtxt, i, 1) & "Route"
[code]....

The master has rows corresponding to numbered files:
4300 | CellValue1 | CellValue2 | etc
4301 | CellValue1 | CellValue2 | etc
In attempting a simple formula (a couple VBA codes I tried did not work and were probably substantially more than I needed anyway), I made the following:
='CMain FolderSub Folder[concatenate(cell w/file number,".xls")]Sheet1'!A1
This is identical to the copy/paste link formula currently in use except that I am trying to have the actual file number/name generated off the master list instead of what is in the file itself.
Purpose: in case I was not clear on this above, I am trying to automatically populate the master worksheet with the data from the workbook. The current procedure is to copy a line of the data from the workbook, then paste as a link in to the master worksheet on the row corresponding to the file number.

I want to be able to call one user form from multiple ActiveX command buttons. The problem is, the number of command buttons depends on user input on another worksheet, so it's variable.
I've renamed all of the command buttons so they are named "CommandButton" & i, where i is an integer between 1 and, say, 200. I want each of these buttons to direct to the same UserForm where additional information can be entered.
I can't think of a way around the event-handler procedure name.
Sub [Command Button Name]_Click
to call the User Form. I won't know the command button names, because I won't know how many there are (max i) until the user inputs.
Basically, I want to create a For loop through the max i and have the event-handlers call the user form

I am acquiring multiple spreadsheets that do not always match row number, due to additional information on some sheets. By this I mean that the information may be in row 31 on on sheet and row 39 on another, the column location is the same each time. I have been trying Vlookups, indexing and matching plus combination formulas - with no luck. How to get the information I need with a moving cell reference?
I can provide a small copy of a workbook, if needed.

I'm using a CALL Macro to split up a HUGE macro into different pieces:
Code:
Sub RSLDASHBOARDV2()
'Macro recorded 12/14/2010 by Ryan R. Koleno, Pharm.D.
'Last Updated 7/10/12 by Ryan R. Koleno, Pharm.D.
'Do Not Modify Code Unless Given Proper Privileges to do so.
Dim APPSPD As Worksheet
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
[code]...
The first few macros dealing with page setup and what not work fine but when it hits the Pivot table code for the STATSPIVOT macro it errors out stating: "Run-time error '1004': Unable to get the PivotItems property of PivotField class' at this point in the code:
Code:
objField2.PivotItems( _
"TRC").Position = 1
objField.PivotItems( _
"MEDCO MAIL OR AOB").Position = 2
When this macro is not split up it worked fine as written. Am I overlooking something in the Call Macro's code or is there a variable I'm not aware of. I have included the Pivot Table code that errors out as well.
Code:
Sub STATSPIVOT()
'STATS PAGE BASED ON STATS DATA TAB
Sheets("STATS DATA").Select
Dim objTable As PivotTable, objField As PivotField
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("STATS DATA").Select
Range("A1").Select
[code]...

This is the code I use to call a macro when the macro Im calling is in the same workbook.
[Code].....
However, I would like to call this same macro when using another workbook. I copied the macro "Clearformating" and pasted into a personal macro workbook module. However when I add this code to the sheet tab it will not run the macro.
I also tried this code.

I have a work book with 3 sheets. Sheet 1 is the main sheet and sheets 2 and 3 will use (I hope vlookup) to update 3 columns from info in sheet 1. my attempt at a vlookup call in sheet 2 is: =VLOOKUP($b3,[master_AoJ_2.xls]Sheet1!$B$3;$B$65,false)
my understanding is that: - $b3 is the cell in sheet 2 that will be updated as a result of the vlookup call. - [master_AoJ_2.xls]Sheet1!$B$3;$B$65 refers to range $B$3:$B$65 on sheet1 of master_AoJ_2. it does not work... infact I get nothing at all. when I type the call into cell $b3 of sheet2 excel thinks it is stariaght text. this is how I coded the function call =VLOOKUP($b3,[master_AoJ_2.xls]Sheet1!$B$3;$B$65,false)

I am trying to write a sub that executes a sub in an xla add-in. How can that be done in general?
More specifically I am wondering whether it can be done with the limited info that I have about the add-in and the to be executed macro within the add-in.
assume the name of the xla add-in is test.xla. The add-in is locked. I therefore do not know the name of the sub to be executed nor do I know the "on action" name of the sub in the ribbon. All I have is the Ribbon button label. Assume the ribbon button label is "ButtonLabel".
Is it possible to call the macro just by knowing the ribbon button label? If yes, how does the script look like assuming the above xla and button name?

I've created a simple UserForm, and with some great help from royUK. I've managed to get it working to suite my needs. The next thing I need to do is call it when the user runs the macro.
How do I call the UserForm from within the macro that I created?
Once the user gives the input, how do I take the values and pass them to the loop in the macro?

I have created a custom menu and saved it as an .xla, one of the functions on the menu is to open up a workbook from a file path. The second option on the menu is to run a macro from the custom menu that is saved in this opened workbook.
Is it possible to write a code that will go off and find this macro from this open workbook?
The reason I wanted to do this is so the user has two options to enter data from however I didn't want to copy the macro over from the original workbook as in time the workbook will be updated

I have a named range, which pulls a text value from a vlookup. This text is the name of a vba sub I have written. What I would like to do, is call the macro based on this value. This is what I have so far but I can't get it to run.
Code:
Sub ControlSheets()
ActiveSheet.Calculate
Hideallsheets
Dim MacroSub As String
MacroSub = sheets("Control").Range("SheetMacro").Value
Call MacroSub 'this is the name taken above that i want to call
End Sub

Any way to actually execute a macro stored as a text file?
Without being long winded - I want to create different macro and physically save them as text files. Once saved - I could call them from a list.

i want to create a lot of buttons, one in each line, that, when you click on them, open a file. The filename is in a cell in the same row as the button.
Of course every button should open a different file, and that is the problem. As far as i know (not very much) the buttons can only call other subs, and not with an argument.
What should i put into the "onAction" property of each button, so that each button opens a different file? I really dont want to create hundreds of subs just to get this done, there must be another way.
PS: By the way, how can i delete all but one buttons of a sheet with a vba script? Or shall I open another post for that?

I've got a macro working that updates things in different sheets, the sheets have peoples names in (this can't be changed).
When running the macro its fine, but if a new person is added i would need to update the macro for every sheet (the macro can be run from every sheet within the workbook).
I've noticed if you right click the sheet button and go to properties (or something) that it shows (Name) Sheet2 and Name Joe Blogs.
Instead of the macro calling to Name i want it to call to (Name), is this possible?
The code that calls the sheet looks something like this:
Sheets.("Joe Blogs")
Instead of looking for Joe Blogs i want it to look for Sheet2

I am Having trouble calling an macro that is not in the module that is calling it. I thought that all I had to do was label the Macro as Public instead of private, but it is not working. If I copy and Paste the Macro code into the module that is calling it, everything works just fine, but this is making it difficult to keep things organized.

I've made a user form and have it entering my data to "Sheet1". How do I get a macro that I already have in module1 in the same wookbook to be ran on "Sheet1" after the user clicks cmd1button. I've tried putting the code from the macro inside the user form with an if statement checking for true on optionbutton1 but it just skips the code. I know it goes to the end because my code to clear the user form values is at the end and it's clearing the form of all values. I can't find the proper way to call a macro inside the user form either.
