Say I have written three user defined functions: first(a,b,c); second(a,b,c);third (a,b,c), which all give value for a,b,c inputs. How do I write a VBA program that uses the functions above? Say the code is called Combine(), after the user have typed in the value of a,b,c, the function Combine=first+second+third.
View 4 RepliesPossibility of creating "on measure" functions for the necessities of every customer, but I have some things to ask in merit and I hope that you can answer to me:
- which are the differences between a User Defined Function and a Macro?
- also User Defined Function is written in Visual Basic?
I have a mental block when it comes to writing functions.
In a cell I have the Post Code followed by a "#" sign (no speech marks) and sometimes more text
e.g. FY6 8JF#ABCD (where the Post Code is FY6 8JF)
The "#" sign always indicates where the Post Code ends, i.e. I want to return all the characters to the left of the "#" sign.
In a spreadsheet I would accomplish this with "=LEFT(AA14,FIND("#",AA14,1)-1)"
where the string of interest is in cell "AA14"
How do I write a UDF to do this?
referencing constant cells in custom functions. This is a sample of my code:
Code:
Select Case Name
Case Is = "Ball"
Valve_Days = [V4] + Cushion
Case Is = "Check"
Valve_Days = [V5] + Cushion
Now, the problem is when I open the workbook up, or someone downloads the file from the server, it resets all fields to div/0 based on what sheet the last user 'Saved' the document on. I think this is occurring because it doesn't know which sheet to pull the value V5 from? The problem never started to happen until I added another sheet in the workbook. Is there a way to tell VB that it isn't just cell V5, but it is cell V5 on Sheet 'X'?
when writing user-define functions in VBA, how do you set up the help on function arguments, so that they appear in the dialog box for the user to enter the correct argument values?
(For example, in the VBA function ACOS, yoh have to enter "Number", and the dialog box explains: "Number is the cosine of the angle you want and must be from -1 to 1." I want to do the same with my own functions).
I have a really long function which counts the number of unique values in a selected range, and ignores blank cells. The function is like this (only works as an array function):
{=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(LEN(A1:A15)>0,MATCH(A1:A15,A1:A15,0),""),IF(LEN(A1:A15)>0,MATCH(A1:A15,A1:A15,0),""))>0,1))}
I want to convert this into a user-defined function COUNTUNIQUE, which only takes one argument: the range (A1:A15 in the above example)
I created a user defined function and using Application.Volatile to update sheet automatically.
But this slowing down my sheet execution alot.
When i remove that it doesnt take much time but no automatic update.
Trying to convert an Excel 2003 macro to work in Excel 2007.

I am using Microsoft Excel 2010 and Microsoft VBA 7.0 on my system. I would like to eventually create a PowerPoint and insert charts generated in the Excel workbook. In the meantime, I cannot get the basic PowerPoint created.
The line in red is highlighted blue when the compile error "User-defined type not defined" message box appears.

I have set the references such that Microsoft Project 14.0 Object Library is indeed checked. The Excel file only contains this code in a module. All sheets are blank. Nothing else is written yet.
I had a working subroutine which I moved to another workbook (rather than linking to it and having both workbooks open at the same time).
Now I get "user-defined type not defined" when it runs. Here is the beginning of the

Call Update1
Call Update2

Dim dCondition As String
Dim dName As String

When I try to complile my VBA project, I get the following error "User-defined type not defined" but the compiler doesn't point to any line.

My end goal is to log on to several websites and pull data out of tables on the websites back into excel so that I can have a one stop shop instead of logging into many websites manually.
This code works fine when I use it, but not when a co-worker uses it on his PC. The code and VBA references are the same. He gets the "User-Defined Type not defined" error. I'm wondering if there is an Outlook setting that may blow this up.
the code was working on his PC and then it stopped though no changes were made to the code. That's why I think it may be blocked by an Outlook setting.

Set MailOutLook = appOutLook.CreateItem(olMailItem)

I roughly know what my equation should look like, but it keeps failing. Its all part of a wider spreadsheet but I will only put down that bits that impact this part of the sheet.
In my cell I need it to input a value from a different spreadsheet. The input value is text.
I currently use this formula and it works perfectly for what I need.
=(OFFSET(INDIRECT("sheet2!D"&$A7),R$6,25,1,1))
This would a return a variety of results such as "excluded","compliant","non-compliant".
I would like to arrange an IF function so that if the answer is Excluded to keep it as Excluded. But anything else to use this formula instead.
=(OFFSET(INDIRECT("sheet2!D"&$A7),(R$6-2),25,1,1))
I've made a macro that inserts an entire new row above a specified cell, then updates each column of that row using offset.value and various constants and inputbox variables. Works great so far, unless I try to apply a validation rule to one of the cells.
The code I'm using to add the validation works okay when referring to a specific cell by reference e.g:
With Range("A1").Validation
etc...
However, when I change it thusly:
With Sheet2.Range("LastRow").Offset(-1, 5).Validation
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _
xlBetween, Formula1:="=Departments"
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
End With
It doesn't like that one bit.
This is part of a private Sub attached to a button in the same sheet. I've had a scan through the archives looking for validation threads, but couldn't find anything that refers to problems with offsets (if indeed that is the problem here).
I'm trying to simplify a spreadsheet i've been given by defining names for certain values. I'm using Excel 2013. Is there any way to have all of the newly defined names I've created for cells automatically be inserted into all of the formulas that exist in the spreadsheet?
Example.
Old formula in one sheet of a workbook looks up a cell in another sheet with the value of ='sheet1!A1
I've given the value of cell A1 in Sheet1 a name of dgwd.
How do I get every formula in the workbook that references 'sheet1!A1 to change the value within that formula to dgwd?
I'm having trouble getting a User Defined formula to work. I received an email containing a User Defined formula for SUMCOLOR and COUNTCOLOR. The first sums all the values in like-colored cells, and the second counts all the cells of like-color in a given range. The VB code for the module is as follows:

I have created a custom add-in with custom functions and am trying to make it user friendly for other users. By running the following macro I can add functions to different categories, but I was wondering if there was a way to do this automatically so that anyone that adds this add-in will have the functions show up in the proper category without having to manually run this macro.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy goal is a macro that exports a .txt file where the user selects desired rows (strains, not necessarily contiguous), header columns (collection data), and a single sequence column. The output format (called fasta) is:
>headerA1 headerC1
sequence1

sequence4
where each new ">" is a new strain (row). My code so far gets caught up in the string assignments in the for loops:
My question is about creating User-Defined Data Types. Is there ANY way possible i can create a User-Defined Data Type that declares a variable of another User-Defined Data Type instead of the Pre-Defined User Types like String, Integer, etc?

The above request WILL be a good solution, but if there is an advanced solution to this for eg., something like a list box with buttons, for instance: click on 'Articles' and it populates 'a,' 'an,' & 'the, click on 'Prepositions' and it populates all the pre-fed prepositions, etc. that would be PERFECT!

I found out that using Enum one can have a dropdown box to choose from when inserting a parameter in a function.
But how can I have the same user-defined constant in more then one Enum? It works with standard VBA variables like vbEmpty, so why not with self made constants?

Code:
Private Const vbTest = 99 ''' = Ambiguous name detected !!!
