Calling A Function In A Procedure
Feb 2, 2010
I need to extract the filename “My Excel File” from Worksheets(“Sheet1”).Range(“A1”), whose value = C:Documents and Settingsuser1DesktopMy Excel File
I found on Chip Pearson’s site a Function TrimToChar which, using SearchFromRight and a TrimChar of “” will trim OFF the filename “My Excel File”, leaving the Path.
But, I think I could use his function to tell me the number of characters in the Path and then use that to extract the remaining characters from the total character length (Mid Function)
Problem is, I don’t have a clue how to call a Function in VBA to work on Worksheets(“Sheet1”).Range(“A1”). How do you set the InputText , TrimChar, & SearchFromRight?????
(eventually, this will be in a loop, where I extract the filename from a Dynamic Named Range (list) in Column A)

I have designed a multipage userform which is executed through a toolbar button in my Excel. How can I access this Userform from another workbook with a different file name?
I have tried by using the tool>References and checking the VBAProject in the original workbook, however, when I click on the toolbar button in Excel (to activate the userform dialog box), the error message "A document with the filename already exists. Cannot open two documents with same name." Problem is....the filenames are not the same.

I have a function
VB:
Function f1(Matrix As Range)
'Does something and returns f1 = a double
End Function
And a second function which defines and constructs a matrix of doubles to use as an argument in f1 to return a double:
VB:
Function f2(dD As Double)
Dim MatrixRed() As Double
Redim MatrixRed(1 To dD, 1 To 10)
For i = 1 To dD
For j = 1 To 10
MatrixRed(i, j) = i * j
Next
Next
f2 = f1(MatrixRed)
End Function
I get an output error (#VALUE). I think it has something to do with MatrixRed not being a range anymore?

I guess I just don't understand the basics of calling a function. I have the following function in a standard module:
Function CleanUp(ws As Worksheets)
ws. Range("A2:P100").ClearContents
End Function
I have this code in a worksheet module:
Sub Trying_to_call_a_function()
CleanUp (ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Month End"))
End Sub
But when I run the routine that calls the "CleanUp" function, I get the message: "Object doesn't support this property or method." I have tried changing the Function to this: CleanUp (ws as Worksheet) [instead of (ws as WorksheetS)]. Yet, this does not change anything.

I have created a custom Function in excel. I would like to create a custom button so I can run this funtion with a Click of a button unstead of typing it in or clicking on the insert function button. I am not sure if this is possible to have VB call a custom function. Below is my VB for the Custom Function. I basically want the custom button to open the formula in excel.
Public Function CreateFlexstring(Company As String, Cost_Center As String, _
Division As String, Geography As String)
CreateFlexstring = Company & "-" & Cost_Center & "-" & Division & "-" & Geography
End Function

I have an add-in that has one function in it. We plan on adding more, but not until we figure out what's happening. The one function is a Select- Case statement...send the function an alpha code and it returns a numeric account number based on the alpha. About 20 "cases" in total. The add-in loads fine and the function works fine from a spreadsheet cell. However, we're getting differing results when we try to access the function from VBA code. I've been able to duplicate this several times on three different computers on our network.
The VBA code will work fine, several times and then on the 4th or 5th attempt it will cause Excel to crash ==> "Microsoft Office Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." If I " recover" the crashed file, comment out the line to call the function, run the program again it works. Then I can un-comment the line, re-run the program and it works fine again for 4 or 5 more attempts. I've tried running the Repair tool already. I've also copied the code out of the spreadsheet and started a new file. The same errors occur...works 4 or 5 times and then crashes the program. The add-in and the spreadsheet exists on networked drives.

I have a User Defined Function (for finding the next minimum value in a range) that is not working for nonconcurrent ranges when called from within a worksheet. It returns #VALUE!
This works: =nextmin(A11:A17)
This does not work: =nextmin(D13,E13,F13,F16)
However calling the function from within vba works:

If I have code like this
Private Sub cmdHex_Click()
Dim HexNum As String
HexNum = Me.txtHexVal
'Call a function
ToBinary (HexNum)
'Now do something else
End Sub
And the function ToBinary creates a value called BinVal. How do I pass it back to my subprocedure to do something with it.

how to properly write this kind of commands!
v_1 = Sheets("WB_Input").Cells(i, 2) 'It's gonna be a numeric value like 10
v_2 = "E"
v_3 = Sheets("WB_Input").Cells(i, j) 'It's gonna be a numeric value like 12
Sheets("WB_Output").Cells(i, j) = "=CONCATENATE(" & v_1 & "," & v_2 & "," & v_3 & ")"
Thing is once I look at the WB_Output Sheet what I see is an error and the cell shows this: =Concatenate(10,E,12)
So logically the problem is that I need to make it show up as =Concatenate("10","E","12")
Btw, I can't just put v_1 & v_2 & v_3, cause Excel understands "E" as exponential!

the macro works fine until it executes the paste values. At that point, the macro jumps to the "CountThem" function which is located in another workbook. The data that I am copy/pasting is in no way connected to any cells that are using that function. Although, other values in the workbook are passed down from data that uses that function.
I am still in the dark ages using Excel 2000.
This is the code for my macro.
Code:
Sub Current_to_Raw()
'
' Current_to_Raw Macro
' Macro recorded 2/12/2014 by
'
'
Range("N14").Select

Is it possible to use the Worksheet_Change command to monitor 2 different cells in the same worksheet and call a different procedure depending on which cell is changed. i.e. if cell A1 is changed do this, if cell a2 is changed do that

When I step-through my code below, it always opens the first file in the directory "C:Pyramid Files", but when it comes back to the Pyramid Files sub after fully processing the first file via various other subs, the VB Editor apparently doesn't like something about this line: StrFile = Dir(), since it quits after "snapping-back" to the previous sub Initialize(). I have also tried StrFile = Dir, but that doesn't work either. I did Dim Strfile in the General Declarations. When I set Watches for Dir and Dir(), I get the value "Invalid procedure call or argument" for both, as if the directory function lost the value. I can't determine why this is happening.
VB:
Dim WSM As Worksheet, WSB As Worksheet, WS1 As Worksheet, [U]StrFile As String[/U], StrDirectory As String, ClientCode As String
Dim Filename As String, LastRowb As Long, LastColB As Integer, LastRow1 As Integer, NextRowC As Integer, x As Integer, y As Integer
[Code] .......

I am creating a set of lists, each on a different sheet. I want to have the first sheet as a sort of "Title Page" with basic information from the others. Is it possible to create a link of some types so that I could click on "Magazines" for example and go to the sheet called Magazines, or "Books" and go to the sheet called books. The latter would be very handy as this workbook has around 30 sheets in it, which is a pain to look through to find the right one.

I have created an XLA using a blank workbook which has a macro (called CompareMan) I have written within it.
I have written a utility (called INSTALLMAN) to install this add in.
When I run the install it creates and activates the add in OK.
The install also creates a toolbar with a button to trigger the macro.
Problem is, when I click the newly created button, no matter which workbook I am currently in I get a message ...
"The macro INSTALLMAN.xls!CompareMan cannot be found".
So my question is, how do I get my button to trigger the macro in my add in?

I have to do the same procedure for a number of profit centers. The only differences are the names of these profit centers. Therefore I want to use the same code, with changing references. How can I use this array so that it calls/uses 1 profit center at the time? If I use the following code they all are used at once (P1100P1200P1300P1500P1600P1900)

Okay, I know you can reference worksheet functions with code like:
application.search()
But how do you use a UDF function within VBA???
I tried, thisworkbook.UDF() (UDF being the name of any UDF) but it didn't work.

I have a add in for excel (self made) and I recently hit a wall when trying to add functionality to it.
I have a form "UserForm1" created within the .Xlam file of the add in.
I want this form to be useable for any excel file that might be open, so putting code in the excel file that needs to use the form is undesirable.
The functions carried out by my add in are activated trough ribbon buttons.
my goal is to have a button on the ribbon that loads the form.
As the UserForm1.show code doesn't work, I will need a alternative.
I did find the code for making the sheet show if there would be a button in the workbook, however I want all code to be in the add in.

I am using the following code to find the text "Employment" in any row in colum H. If found it copies it to another worksheet.
Sub CopyRowsSht8()Sheet8.SelectSet Rng = Sheet8.Range(Sheet8.Range("H1"), Sheet8.Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))For Each cell In RngIf cell.Value = "Employment" Thennum = cell.RowSheet8.Range("A" & num & ":" & "L" & num).Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Employment").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)End IfNextCall CopyRowsSht9End Sub
1. This sub calls CopyRowsSht8 and then this calls CopyRowsSht9 and so on. I have 15 sheets so how would I code this into some kind of loop to include sheets 8 to 22 instead of calling sub then sub then sub etc.
2. It takes a while to do just two sheets so 15 would be very slow - can this be made faster. The maximun number of rows containing data is only about 100 on each sheet -could that make a difference?

The below thing has been driving me up a wall for 2 days now. I know the fix has to do with calling the variables, but I can't figure out the exact code.
Sub Parsing_Logic()
Dim IBG_URL As String
Dim A As String
A = Mid(IBG_URL, Application.WorksheetFunction.Find("/200", IBGURL), 8)
Dim B As String
B = Left(IBG_URL, Application.WorksheetFunction.Find("/200", IBGURL))
Dim C As String
C = Right(IBG_URL, Len(IBG_URL) - (Len(A) + Len(B)))
Dim D As String
D = Left(C, Application.WorksheetFunction.Find(".200", C))
End Sub
Function IBGLink(IBG_URL As String, Formatted_Date As String)
If Application.WorksheetFunction.IsErr(A) Then
IBGLink = (D & Formatted_Date)
Else: IBGLink = (B & Formatted_Date & D & Formatted_Date)
End If

I am trying to call another macro, but instead of using the name of the macro, I have it in a variable. I am getting an error that says "Compile Error: Expected sub, Function, or Property." Can you call a macro that is in a variable? I basically have a bunch of macros created. I also have a list of the name of those macros on a worksheet in Excel. I want excel to start at the top of the list in excel and run the macro, then move down and run the next macro, and so on. Below is my code.
Sub Commercial_2005()
Dim Macroname As String
Workbooks("bleeg.xls").Activate
Worksheets("CommercialList").Select
Cells.Range("a1").Select
While ActiveCell.Value <> ""
Macroname = ActiveCell.Value
Workbooks("copy of recast_Report_v2.xls").Activate
Call Macroname
Workbooks("bleeg.xls").Activate
Worksheets("CommercialList").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Wend
