Convert A String To A Range

Apr 1, 2009

I'm working in Excel 2003. Is there a way to convert strings to Ranges on the Excel commandline?

I have a lookup function in an estimate sheet that uses 2 ranges, stored as strings, in another worksheet. They are used to return a price from another workbook. When I use named ranges to access them with the lookup function, it doesn't work. But when I cut and paste the strings into the commandline it works prefectly?



$A10 = Part Number to search for

MaterialOptions is a named Range
eg: '[Catalog.xls]PriceList'!$A$13:$A$17

PriceOptions is a named Range
eg: '[Catalog.xls]PriceList'!$Z$13:$Z$17

LOOKUP($A10,MaterialOptions,PriceOptions) = #VALUE!
But...
LOOKUP($A10,'[Catalog.xls]PriceList'!$A$13:$A$17,'[Catalog.xls]PriceList'!$Z$13:$Z$17) = Success!

Convert String Value Into Range

Mar 27, 2009

I have a string variable (myCell) that contains a cell address (i.e. $A$66)

I have a Range variable (mrR1) that I want to give that value to.

I cannot figure out how to do it. Can anyone help?

After that, I'm hoping to use the Range variables in a Goal Seek.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim myMatch As Double
Dim myCell As String
Dim myStart As Range
Dim myIRR As String
Dim myR1 As Range
Dim myR2 As Range

myMatch = WorksheetFunction.Match(0.25, Range("K67:DZ67"))
myCell = Range("HurdleStart").Offset(0, myMatch).Address
myIRR = Range("IRRStart").Offset(0, myMatch).Address

' myR1 = myIRR value
' myR2 = myCell value

Range(myR1).GoalSeek Goal:=0.25, ChangingCell:=Range(myR2)

End Sub

UDF To Convert String To Abbreviation?

Mar 18, 2013

I would like to have a UDF to convert any text string to an abbreviation. For example, "Del Puerto Creek at HWY" would be converted to DPCAH. Or "this text string" would be converted to TTS. This has to work on any string of any length in any cell. I guess the UDF would pass each character through a loop and extract the letter immediately after a space and capitalize the letter if it is not already in uppercase. The UDF would have to have the ability to drag using relative references. For example: =AbbrevTxt(A1). It does not matter what the UDF is named.

1. converting the date string to a date.
2. the line of code where I subtract line6 from line4.

Convert String Number To Date?

May 3, 2013

The following function reads many worksheets in one workbook and put the information into one worksheet. F22 to Q22 is dates in the format of mmm-yy on the many worksheets. On the one worksheet B1, C1, D1, etc... is dates also formatted mmm-yy. Now the many sheets only have a 12 month period but could be any date within 60 months. In the many worksheets the beginning date in F22 is based on the date that is entered into G8 of the many worksheets. The function is:

Code:
Function HrsByMonth(strField As String, MonthNum As Integer) As Long
Dim sht As Worksheet, i As Long, j As Integer
HrsByMonth = 0

[Code].....

Convert Text String To Integer

Feb 16, 2014

I've got an odd program that exports time data formatted as a text string. For example....

0:10:25

Since it has no numerical value, then I can't simply "format as number". I'm thinking that I will need to use one of the string methods eg: mid() to check each character individually and then convert that into the equivalent numerical value.

So the numerical output I am looking for in the above example would be 625.

Convert String To Object Or Function

Apr 11, 2007

I do not know if this is possible in VBA, but I am hoping it is as it will make my life much easier.

Is it possible to say have a TextBox and a CommandButton, that does the following?

Public Sub Execute()

Dim ObjectName As String
Dim Object As Object

ObjectName = txtObject.Text
Set Object = ObjectName

Object.Execute

End Sub

Or to take it a step further:

Public Sub Execute()

Dim ObjectName As String
Dim FunctionName As String
Dim Object As Object

ObjectName = txtObject.Text
FunctionName = txtFunction.Text
Set Object = ObjectName

Object.FunctionName

End Sub

Are there any inbuilt functions that will create/reference an object based on a string containing the name of the object or function?

Convert Text String Into Excel Date With VBA

Aug 13, 2013

I have a date range that looks like this (British date style, not US):

edit: I posted an image but it can't be seen for some reason:

Date Range
2010 11/10 17/10
2010 11/10 17/10
2010 11/10 17/10
2010 11/10 17/10

Thus the first cell show 11 October 2010 to 17 October 2010 I want to return just the first day (the week commencing date):

edit: I posted an image but it can't be seen for some reason:

Week Commencing
11/10/2010
11/10/2010
11/10/2010
11/10/2010

I have written some VBA to the best of my ability but it seems clumsy using the FORMAT function. Is there a better of doing this with VBA. I can't seem to find a function in VBA which is the equivalent of the formula function DATE.

Code:
Sub ConvertTextToBritStyleDate()
' dd/mm/yyyy (not mm/dd/yyyy)
' Select the cells containing the dates (not the header)

Basic Macro - Convert String To Unicode

Mar 30, 2014

The following macro works:

Code:
Range("b42").Resize(, Len(Range("A42").Value)) = split(StrConv(Range("A42").Value, vbUnicode), Chr(0))

I tried to revise the macro so that instead of 'b42' it's activecell.

Code:
Dim b As Range
Set b = ActiveCell
Range(b).Resize(, Len(Range(b).Value)) = split(StrConv(Range(b).Value, vbUnicode), Chr(0))

My code isn't working.

Convert Cell Number Reference To String Address

May 18, 2007

I have something like the following:

If Worksheets("RawData"). Cells(1, nColumn).Value = Worksheets("RawData").Cells(12, 16).Value Then
..do code (I know the cell location of interest at this point)
End If

Then I End up needing To Do something Like the following
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = _
Worksheets("RawData").Range("L1:N1")

“L1:N1” above is a sample. Given the code above it I have the cell location in question but it is in the format such as .Cells(12,16). That doesn’t do me much good when range wants something like “L1”. I don’t know how to convert that (12,16) to a L16 for example.

Convert Dynamic Range To Static Named Range

Sep 13, 2007

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.

UDF - How To Send Range And Convert To Array

Dec 5, 2011

I want to have a user-defined function where the user sends a range (i.e. "A1:J1") and each cell is viewed as a member of an array. I can do this if the user sends "A1,B1,C1,D1,E1,F1,G1,H1,I1,J1", but this is very cumbersome. I tried the following code:

Code:

Public Function CreateDenom(DenomValues As Range) As Variant
Dim tmpArr() As Variant
Dim c As Range
For Each c In DenomValues
tmpArr(c) = c.Value
Next c
CreateDenom = UBound(tmpArr)
End Function

This won't be the end product of course, but it's a starting point if I can get it to work. However, I get an error stating that "A value used in the formula is of the wrong data type."

Excel 2010 :: VBA - How To Convert A Range To A Table

Jan 27, 2014

I am relatively new to VBA and am trying to convert a range of data to a table in the same sheet. I receive the following message when I try to run the code as shown below:

"The worksheet for the table data must be the same sheet as the table being created." The code stops on the third line of the code.

Sheets("Data Forwards").Select
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$U$1000").Select
ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, Range("$A$1:$U$1000"), , xlYes).Name = _
"Table1"
ActiveSheet.Range("Table1[#All]").Select
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").TableStyle = "TableStyleMedium2"

I can see that the range is highlighted in the sheet before the code breaks.

Convert Named Range To Cell Reference?

Sep 18, 2012

I'm working with a very complex financial workbook with over 3,000 named ranges and would like code to replace the named ranges with the cell references and display it in a message box so the user can easily trace the references without removing the named ranges from the formula. There is a lot of code with the named ranges, so actually converting them to cell references is out of the question.

I found this code, but obviously it physically replaces the range names in the cell. Hopefully it can be converted to display it in a text box.

Code:
Sub FixReferencesToCellNames()
Dim c As Range, n As Name
For Each c In Range("A1:IV65536").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas)

[Code]....

What I am looking for is that a user select a cell that they want to see the references, run the code to see the cell references for that particular cell in a message box.
