If I had a combo box that look at 10 item in a range A1:A10 and the output value was in B1
Say a user added a new Item in A11. How could I get the range of the combo box to automatically extend to A11 or A12 if two new items are added.
I am trying to avoid having the input range as A:A and having lots of empty values?
Is there a way of setting the input range on a combo box to a vale set in a cell?
ie, if my current input range is A2:A40 and i then users add another 20 records to that column, i need the combo box input range to change to A2:A60, so I can leave the sheet unmonitored for the users to add lines and not have to manually change the input range of the combo box.
I am preparing a template for which I need a combo box. Becaue it is a template I can't have this combo box any specific input range. Because I won't know how long the data column (that wiill be used for input range) will be.
Also the data column will have many duplicates but the combo box needs to show uniques only.
I could need a code for a Combo Box to selects the range in Column A. The range includes all non-blank cells.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been working on part of the code for my spreadsheet and it works fine in the spreadsheet “Databaseform” however when I copied the code to my master spreadsheet “Paul_PartLocDBCombo” it does not work, I get the error:
Method ‘ range’ of object ‘_worksheet’ failed
The code is then highlighted in yellow, the code is:
Set rng = wksPartsData.Range("a1", Range("a65536").End(xlUp))
Meaning this part is incorrect but I don’t know why? To work it: go to Databaseform and press start. Enter 7mm in the product field and press find all. It will then return all the matching results in the userform. Its this I want to try and achieve on the other spreadsheet when the button find label is pressed.
In my macro, NextRow is defined as the first empty row in a set of data (NextRow = Range("A1000").End(xlUp).Row + 1). How would I clear the contents of Columns A:H in NextRow in VBA, keeping in mind that NextRow is always different for each worksheet I'm working with?

Syntax for cell B4 to reflect the average of range B15 to LastRow? I tried several things and it didn't work. Rows 1-12 are being reserved for the summary calculations that will then be pulled into the final Dashboard.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy spreadsheet has in the region of 30 columns, more will be added on occasion in the future and ultimately I want to have each of the column headers appear in a 2-tiered dependent combo box. In the following structure:
Category 1:
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Category 2:
Header 4
Header 5

What I'm not sure about is what the most efficent way of making it so that it will automatically add new Column headers (and possibly categories) to the drop-down box so that it does not need to be re-coded in the future.
I have a range which will change in size & in content, & I want this to be a Named Range at whatever size it is.
Reason I want to is because I want to make a Validation List with this dynamic range. I also want a Validation list which lists the content of 2 or more dynamic ranges which may or may not be on the same worksheet - is this possible?
i.e.
First dynamic range: called "Milestones" at A11
Second dynamic range: called "Activities" at A25
& make a Validation list that will list content of both
I am trying to assign a value to a variable based on the value of another variable. I have about 15 items each with about a dozen specifications to them. I'd like to compare the specifications of "MyItem" to those of "OtherItems". Problem is MyItem changes constantly, and I don't want to hardcode the values for all of these items for every possible value of MyItem. Plus, I would have to create new code every time there is a new item. It just seems like REALLY bad coding. Please see below:
Sub MyItemHardcoded
Dim MyItem As String
Dim OtherItems As String
Dim MyItemSpec1 As Long
Dim MyItemSpec2 As Long
Dim MyItemSpec3 As Long
Dim MyItemSpec4 As Long
Dim OtherItemsSpec1 As Long
Dim OtherItemsSpec2 As Long
Dim OtherItemsSpec3 As Long
Dim OtherItemsSpec4 As Long
I was trying to use a dynamic variable name to cut through this.
Sub DynamicVariable
Dim MyItem As String
Dim OtherItems As String
Dim ThisItemSpec1 As Long
Dim ThisItemSpec2 As Long
Dim ThisItemSpec3 As Long
Dim ThisItemSpec4 As Long
Dim OtherItemsSpec1 As Long
Dim OtherItemsSpec2 As Long
Dim OtherItemsSpec3 As Long
Dim OtherItemsSpec4 As Long
Dim ItemNames(1 To ItemCount)
I tried using the evaluate method, but it returns an error when the expression evaluates to text - even if that text is a variable name. I've tried some off-the-wall ideas as well, but nothing seems to work. There has to be an easy way to do this. I'm just totally missing it.
How can I make a dynamic array public?
I have to Dim it so it stays valid only inside the sub.
Public MyVar()
Sub test1()
Dim MyVar()
ReDim MyVar(1 To 4)
For x = 1 To 4
MyVar(x) = "ffffff"
Next x
End Sub
Sub test2()
For x = 1 To 4
Range("A" & x) = MyVar(x)
Next x
End Sub
Error I get is 'MyVar(x) = Subscript out of range'
Trying to copy records from one spreadsheet to multiple spreadsheets located in different directorates. Although I can create multiple Macros to address the need, I want to use ONE MACRO that utilizes two variables to represent:
1) The targeted file directory
2) The targeted file name
Items 1) and 2) are stated in two cells within the main spreadsheet and as you can already imagine, these values change IAW the name of the target file.
This is what I am trying to do:
File cell A1 = "C:ORLOAcquisition"
File cell A2 = "target.xlsx"
Basically replacing the code below
ChDir "C:ORLOAcquisition"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= "C:ORLOAcquisition arget.xlsx" , UpdateLinks:=3
with, ChDir ""A1"" Workbooks.Open Filename:= ""A2"" , UpdateLinks:=3
I was able to do it with target-spreadsheets located under the same workbook but my code does not work when trying to activate workbooks located in other directorates in the network.
I want to make a combo box in excel that, if i select it the sheet inside the combo box will appear.
Example:

How can i do this? theirs a macro code to use?
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've got a Combo Box that I want to be able to attribute Hyperlinks to. I would like to be able to select one of the options from the Combo Box and have the Hyperlink fire automatically. The conditions are:

Input range: 'Combo Box'!$A$1:$A$4
Cell link: $CU$80
Drop down lines with corresponding Hyperlink Named ranges:
R FRONT R_FRONT_Hardwired
L REAR Audio_1_AZ80
120V-60HZ 4A ER_16_PC_100A_Outlet_6
R REAR Audio_1_AZ80
I've attached the Code as text.It is not working and I'm sure there are a number of reasons why.
I have been trying to make a combobox for which the list is a named range. However, this range needs to be transposed. ListFillRange doesn't seem to let me transpose the list first. I've tried transposing the list somewhere else first and then adding it, but it seems to want a range as opposed to a reference to a range. I'm so confused now. This is the basic code that I wish would work.
ActiveSheet. OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.ComboBox.1", Link:=False, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=253, Top:=472, Width:=117, Height:=20). _
Select
Selection.ListFillRange = "=transpose(Stream_Data!StreamList)"
While I'm at it, could someone explain to be how to refer to a combobox. ie. when you create it, you don't name it so how can you refer to it. That's why I have used the selection tool above to add the list.
I'm creating a sheet that takes three Validation Lists into account. The first two lists are based on named regions. The third list uses the first two lists to narrow a search down so that the user can pick what they want from a smaller selection. I'm using the code from Contextures.com to allow the user to double click the validation list to pop up a Combo Box. This allows me to show more than 8 selections at a time and also gives a little freedom on font and font size.
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal11.html
Since the third list is not based on a named region but rather code to compare the two previous lists, when I double click the third validation list a blank combo box pops up. it possible to pop up what ever lists are in the validation boxes.
This is the code that I have in the third validation box which States "The Source Currently evaluates to an error" but works fine for some reason. =OFFSET(CategoryStart, MATCH(B4, CategoryColumn, 0) - 1, IF(A4 = "Description", 2, IF(A4 = "ExtDescription", 3, IF(A4 = "PartNumber",4))), COUNTIF(CategoryColumn,B4), 1)
I tried making a named region that was based on the code, so that the list could change as the user selected different options from the first two lists. This gave me the same problems as I had before.
I have various charts others view and require the data range to change in 12 month intervals, ie Jan07 -Jan08, Feb07-Feb08. I currently move the ranges manually every month but find the it would be more interactive for others if a drop down combo box on the chart were used enabling the user to choose which intervals to view.

I know how to turn the autocomplete on and off but I don´t have a clue where I configure the data range or the cells to display the list when the combo box is clicked.
I am assuming that this is done in the Edit mode at "linkedCell" and LisfFillRange ... yet I can´t get this to work.
Im sorting a dynamic range as mentioned in this Sorting a Named Range. My range is called drWarningTypes and is defined as:
=OFFSET(DataSource!$A$2,0,0, COUNTA(DataSource!$A:$A)-1,1)
When there is only one cell in the range, then running the following sort function includes A1 also in the search (and also adjoining columns).....
I am using a variable named " Totals" as a range type to refference the range in a formula. It works the way I have it.
Dim Totals As Range
Set Totals = [U37: AE37]
Now instead of the absolute refference, I would like to change the row refference by an offset of my current row, using a formula with a varriable. The columns stay the same.
I have a column of data that keeps getting new information in it. what i need is a named range that i can use for a chart, first point in the named range will be the first value in the column, second point will be avg. of point 1 and 2, then 3rd point will be avg. of 1,2,3 etc.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get to grips with the dynamic ranges for pivot tables. I have named a range data and in the refers to section put:

I was hoping that then when i go to data > Pivot table and it asks for the range i could put =Data but it tells me that the range is invalid. I have attached a copy at the bottom.
My searches have not produced anything that I could apply to this situation.
I'm trying to write VBA that would:
1. Search a Workbook for Dynamic Ranges.
2. When a Dynamic Range is found the code would:
A. Determine the current coordinates for the range.
B. Change the "Refers To" value From "=OFFSET...." To "=Worksheet_Name $Column$Row:$Column$Row"
3. Save Changes.
4. Close File.
My apologies but I have very little experience in writing VBA. I understand about variables, arguments, and IF/THEN but just enough to use functions within Excel.
I have a range of data that will grow as the days of the month pass but I need to run calculations on this range. The data is 13 columns wide but the number of rows will increase daily.

I am trying to write a macro which will autofill specific columns. The macro will set the range from the start of my autofill to the end of my autofill as a constant range.
The problem I need to get around is the end of my range can always change each time I run the macro. For instance, the first time I run the macro I may only need to autofill from row 4 to row 15. The next time, I may only need to autofill from row 4 to 23 (because of user updates). How can I make the end of my range not be a constant address but variable?
