Calling Formulas From A Different Cell
Aug 5, 2006I'm trying to make a spreadsheet where I can easily change a formula in one place and have the changes propragate throughout the rest of the worksheet. Here's an example of what I want to do.

Using Cell References In File Paths For Formulas To Create Dynamic Formulas
Dec 3, 2013I am using a lot of linked reports that have to be rewritten each month. For example smaller formulas look like this:
=('S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$262+'S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING201311 November[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]Production Parts'!B$292
What I want to do is extract the file path from the above formula and make it a composite of several cell references.
So what I need is to have a cell where they can change the month and another where we can change the year. So I set up several named cells that look like this:
_MONTH =11 November
_YEAR =2013
_JOBCARD ='S:PUBLICProductionJob CardsMOLDING
_PATH =_JOBCARD & _YEAR &"" &_MONTH
I tried several versions, I am hoping for something like this:
=('_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$228*2)+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$262+'_PATH &"[440A SIDE SPOILER JOB CARD.xls]"Production Parts'!B$292
Calling The Min Row To Another Row
Oct 22, 2007i have 5040 rows in a sheet. in columns A,B,C,D,E,F, i have some input. and based on that i have some formula on column G.
lets say, min value is at row 4094 by looking at G column... i want to call entire row to the, lets say K L M N O P ....i need a formula for that....
random numbers are included in the formula. So ever time i make any changes on the sheet, min value changes even thought i dont play with the formula and input... so i want my new min value shown at row 1 of K L M N O P, every time i do that
how can i do that?
Calling One Sheet From Another
Sep 26, 2009I 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedCalling Macro From Add In
Feb 12, 2009I 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?
Calling/using An Array
Apr 15, 2009I 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)

Jan 20, 2012Okay, 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.
Calling A Form From Add-in
Mar 13, 2012I 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.
How To Loop Instead Of Sub Calling Sub
Mar 17, 2012I 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?
VBA Calling Another Subroutine
Mar 14, 2008Im trying to call another subroutine within the same workbook but it doesnt work,
---------------------
Sub Macro1()
Dim mac1 As Variant
Dim mysub As Variant
Select Case Cells(1, 3)
Case mac1
Call mysub
End Select
End Sub

Calling Variables
Apr 14, 2009The 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
Calling Another Macro
Aug 4, 2006I 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
End Sub
Calling A Function
May 1, 2007I 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.
Calling A Subroutine
May 23, 2007Is calling a subroutine within another different than running it from the play button in the VB editor? I am getting different results.
I have the following code that I want to call from another subroutine that creates a series of command buttons.
Sub DynamicButtons()
Dim ButtonCount As Integer
Dim ctl As OLEObject
' Create the Button objects
ButtonCount = 0
For Each ctl In Sheets("Sheet1").OLEObjects .............
Calling Columns Into Different Worksheets
Nov 4, 2008I'm not sure whether this should be a general question or it should go in the programming section... but here here goes anyways
I need to create a spreadsheet where the contents of Col A & B in Sheet1 are copied into both Col A & B in Sheet2 & Sheet3. Sheet1 Col A&B will be continuously updated (rows will be added) and as these columns are updated, Col A & B in Sheet2 & Sheet3 should be updated automatically and keep the format that is set in Col A & B in Sheet1.
Now, Col C&D in Sheet2 & 3 will be updated by a different user. As the user updates the cells in Col C&D in Sheet2 & 3, Col C&D in Sheet1 should automatically be updated with the data in the cells of Col C&D in Sheet2 (and keep the format) and Col E&F in Sheet1 should automatically be updated with the data in the cells of Col C&D in Sheet3 (and keep the format).
Calling Non-existing Sheets
Oct 28, 2009Currently I'm trying to set up a table that referneces sheets that don't yet exist. These sheets will be added by the user or by macro, either one. I want my table to automatically take these pages into account when they're created without having to rewrite my formulas. The problem is that when I make the call to a sheet that's not there, it opens a file open dialogue box and I don't want it to do that. Is there something I can do here about that?
I don't think it's really going to shed any light on the subject, but this is my call (from memory, not copy and paste)
IF(OR(ISERROR('P01'!N2),'P01'!N2 = ""),"",'P01'!N2)
Also, when I enter this formula and the sheet doesn't exist, it automatically reverts to a text field and I have to manually switch it back to general in which case it gives a #REF error (which is just fine).
Also, I'm writing it in Excel 2003, but it completely crashes Excel '97 if I try to open it there, how can I fix this?
Calling Routine From A Class In Add-in?
Feb 4, 2014I've got three workbooks that end users will be using for data entry. The VBA code for the three workbooks is identical.
I'm trying to encapsulate the code into an add-in so I only have one copy of the code that I have to debug/maintain.
Furthermore, I've also encapsulated the code in the add-in into a class. The class isn't really a "usual" object modelling some data; rather, it's a utility class processing Worksheet_Change and Worksheet_Activate events. Hopefully this isn't a really bad idea, rather than keeping the code in standard modules in the add-in.
The application is called "Midas". Here are some code excerpts:
Midas.xlam:
Standard Module:
[Code] ......
Class Module:
[Code] .....
And in the end user workbook:
[Code] .....
The Wbk_SheetChange event handler is triggering, but it's looking for the code in the end user workbook, instead of the class. Is there a way I can change
[Code] .....
to call the private routine "Cases_Changed" (where "Cases" is the sheetname) residing in the class instead of looking for it in the workbook?
Calling Variable From Userform

Nov 9, 2009I would like to know if it is possible to display a form using a variable containing the form name rather than the form name itself, I have tried everything I can think of and cannot make it work. I know I can use CASE SELECT but I have a large number of forms involved and would like to use a variable name if possible.

Feb 2, 2010I 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)
Calling Sub Routine Every Odd Minute
Dec 17, 2012I currently have a macro that runs every 10 seconds. This macro calls 5 sub-routines.
Code:
Public Sub Copy_Data()
*****code****
*****code****
*****code****
*****code****
Call SortData
Call Create_OutOfStock_File
Call Create_NearEmpty_File
Call Create_InStock_File
Call Create_Other_File
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:10"), "Copy_Data"
End Sub
I need to keep the current code to run Copy_Data every 10 seconds, however, i would like:
Code:
Call Create_OutOfStock_File
Call Create_NearEmpty_File
Call Create_InStock_File
Call Create_Other_File
To be called/run every odd minute, for example, 00:01:00, 00:03:00, 00:05:00
Calling Form From Another Workbook
Mar 5, 2013I have a hundred or more spreadsheets that I will be applying a utility to. I want to use one button on each sheet to call a form in the utility workbook. That form will have buttons that call individual parts of the utility.
I tried application.run("utility.xlsm!frmStart"). No dice.
I also tried: "utility.xlsm!frmStart". Same result.
How can I overcome this.
The reason I want my forms in a different workbook is the difficulty with maintenance and installation.

Nov 14, 2006I have a set of eight files, each of which is refreshed daily through a macro. I wanted to set up a master macro in a separate file that would open up each of the eight in turn, calls its refresh macro (which saves and closes the workbook), and then open up the next one, etc. I've searched the board and Help on this subject, but I keep getting an error:
Sub UpdateCSHoldReports()
' A sub to update all the US CS Hold Reports
' First, change the directory to the one that holds the files
ChDir "s:Marketing_ReportsCustomer Service2006CS Hold ReportsUSA"
' Next, open each file in turn, and run its refresh macro
' The refresh macro saves and closes the file automatically

Workbooks("VERIFICATION HOLDS 1000 PLUS.xls").Activate
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1).Activate
Application.Run ("VERIFICATION HOLDS 1000 PLUS.xls!V1000Refresh")
End Sub
I'm only working on one file right now; I'll add the others when I get this one going. The error message I get is "1004" "The macro VERIFICATION HOLDS 1000 PLUS.xls!V1000Refresh cannot be found." It occurs when the Application.Run statement attempts to execute.
What obvious thing am I missing here? I have checked all the spellings, etc., so it's not something like that.
Calling Out Worksheets By Number Not Name
Dec 28, 2006can I reference worksheets by number rather than name in a macro?
I'm trying to make a macro that will go through and rename all worksheets according to a date they calculate. I want them to be able to re-name themselves again if the date is changed. This makes it not possible to use "2-12-07" as a callout because this name could change. So, what I'd like to do is select worksheet(4) regardless of the current name.
