Creating String From Active Sheet Name

Mar 14, 2013

I'm trying to use the ActiveSheet Name as the folder name for images being imported into excel. For example, on the Sheet "Sample 1" I want to pull from the File Path "C:Documents and SettingsuserDesktopSample 1"

I'm getting an error, I think this code should work in regular VBA not sure whats wrong in excel?

Code:
Dim strSName As String
strSName.Text = ActiveSheet.Name
Const strPath As String = "C:Documents and SettingsuserDesktop" & strSName & ""

Macro With Reference To Active Chart On Active Sheet

May 14, 2014

I currently have the following macro running to set a chart's data values:

Sub C3Quarter12013()
'
' C3Quarter32013 Macro
'
'
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 2").Activate
ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = _

[Code] ......

When I copy the tab and change some of the data within the cells, I want the macro refer to the chart on the current tab and the values in the current tab - as currently it refers to only "Chart 2" and the values in the tab 'Figure 2 - WE OPH'.

I've tried changing the sheet name to ActiveSheet.name but that doesn't seem to work.

Order For The Text String To Turn Into An Active Formula

Jan 10, 2007

When building complex and long formulas in excel which can not be auto
filled due to non progressive variables I tend to combine several cells
containing parts of the formula using the ampersand (&) operator.

E.g. B2=[A1&A2&A3&A4]
where:
A1=[=]
A2=[INDIRECT($A$1&"!"&"S]
A3=[8]
A4=[")]

The result will then look like this: =INDIRECT($A$1&"!"&"S8"), then I
copy all the values created by this method (it could be several
thousand)
and past them into the appropriate worksheet using: past special > past
values.

The problem is that in order for the text string to turn into an active
formula I have to go into each individual cell (F2) and hit Enter. When
I am working with thousand of cells this is not very feasible.

Creating VBA Macro That Changes Specific String To A Number

Jul 7, 2012

I am having some difficulty with a pdf that I converted to an excel document because I wanted to use the data from the pdf tables in a different program I am currently working on. However, the data is in the improper format. For example, in the table it reads 2-1/8 as string and I want it to be the number value 2.125 . Likewise if the value in the table reads 5-1/4 I want it to automatically convert it to something that will be read as the number 5.25

Update Table On Another Sheet With Information On ACTIVE SHEET Based On Column Search?

May 14, 2014

What I have is a sheet that is copied periodically from some source sheet, and on this sheet is a table. This sheet is called "Onsite Checklist Template" and it's table is titled "Checklist". I also have another sheet called "Loggers and Initial Notes" which has a tabled titled "Record", and then finally a title sheet call "Proj Details".

To clear this intro up - The sheets, in their order, is: "Proj Details", "Loggers and Initial Notes", "Onsite Checklist Template". The tables: "Record" on "Loggers..." and "Checklist" on "Onsite..."

When the user wants to make a new site visit, he/she fills in the requested date and then selects a button on "Proj...". When this button is selected, it copies the table data on "Record" and puts it on "Checklist", then inserts a new worksheet tab, always in the 3rd position (the title is based on the site visit date in which the user entered), which is a copy of "Onsite...". Now we have another sheet with a table called "Checklist1", and upon another new site visit, there will be another worksheet with "Checklist2", and so on.

On the "Onsite..." worksheet, there is a button on it which also gets copied with the worksheet so that every new worksheet has this copied "Checklist ???" and this button. I'm looking for a macro that, when the button is selected, will bounce the active sheet's table "Checklist ???" off of "Record" and make changes as needed.

"Checklist ???" data range is B11:M20 (the header is on row 10); "Record" data range is B29:Q78 (the header is on row 28); Column headers are titled the same, just that "Record" has 4 extra columns, 3 in the middle and 1 on the end. "Checklist ???" columns 1-12 to "Record" columns 1-7, 10-12, 14-15. The search criteria is the 4th column in both tables ("Trk #").

I need the macro to do the following:If it finds a match, then update "Record" as needed with data from "Checklist ???", changing whatever cell is different in the row that contains the matching "Trk #", so long as the cell on "Checklist ???" is populated (i.e, if a cell on the target row of "Record" has a value, but it's blank on "Checklist ???", then "Record" wins; if it's blank on "Record", but populated on "Checklist ???", the Checklist wins. If both populated but different, then Checklist wins.If a "Trk #" exists on "Checklist ???" but is not on "Record" then add the line to "Record" (the 1st empty row, table size remains)I see no need for any "delete" at this time.

My concerns: The last column on record (column #16) is the filtering column for the worksheet copy event and needs to be left alone (it's formulated to produce a "Yes" or "No")I would like the ability to adjust table sizes if needed without modifying the macroThe table rows on "Checklist ???" will not be changed, deleted, or altered in any way by the macro.

Macro Copy Of The Active Sheet And Then Rename The New Copied Sheet

Jul 30, 2009

I'm trying to create a copy of the active sheet and then rename the new copied sheet to what's in cell O4, which is a formula (see below) and then paste value cell O4 in B3 of the copied sheet.

Sub NewMonth()

ActiveSheet.Copy Before:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = Range("O4").Value
ActiveSheet.Range("O4").Copy
ActiveSheet.Range("B3").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

Delete From Non Active Sheet

Nov 22, 2011

I am not sure why this code won't delete, I can't believe excel requires the sheet to be active to delete from. It will only work if the .activate line is included.

How can you delete from another worksheet without first switching to it?

Code:

'Sheets("sheet1").Activate
Sheets("sheet1").Range(Cells(row, col), Cells(row + 7, col)).Delete shift:=xlUp

It works fine, but I'd like to be able to run it from any "Fixit Example XX" worksheet. As written, the data is always copied from "Fixit Example 1" regardless of what worksheet I have open.

UDF #VALUE! Error On Non-Active Sheet

Jan 15, 2008

I have data that is laid out as follows: Date, amount1, amount2 and a value in $
There are many rows, and there will be more than one row for each date. see attached worksheet for an example.

I want to create a table that will provide me totals of the amounts and the value for each date. I have managed to do this, using subtotals, but this gets quite slow, and in any case I want to be able to reference each of the subtotals with another sheet, so I tried to use pivot tables. I managed to do the above by using three pivot tables Date/Amount1 then Date/Amount2 and finally Date/Value, and hiding the extra two date columns. However my next table of data contains 10,000 rows and over 20 columns, so I am wondering if the above can be done within one pivot table. I know very little about pivot tables, and when I try to drop a second data item in, it always puts it below the first rather than in a separate column, and I get a table looking like the one in the attached worksheet. Am I doing something very basic, wrong? Is it possible to get a single pivot table, to look like my first summary chart in the attached worksheet. If I can do it with three columns, then I should be able to extend it to my much larger table of data.
