Is it possible to declare n variable names dynamically in a macro? For example: Cell A2 in Sheet1 contains the number of variables to be considered in the macro (n). I would like all the variables to take names in the macro from node1 to noden using the dim statement. I tried running a for loop:
View 14 RepliesCan anyone tell me how to have a variable which can store leading zero's. I am using this variable and part of a string and want it to be able to store and calculate numbers such as 0005 at the moment if such a number is entered it sees it as 5. At the moment I have declared the variables as integers but clearly this is incorrect.

Code:
Public Sub readOperation(rowNumber As Integer)
Dim rowOff As Integer
rowOff = rowNumber - 1
'other arguments and conditions
End Sub
What I am buggered about is that I cannot see the the variable rowNumber being declared anywhere but it seems to have a value of 1. I should mention that Operation is a class and I am very new to classes.

I have a worksheet that has 2 sheets. I want to declare a variable that can be accessed for reading and/or overwriting by both of those sheets. Where do I declare it and how do I access it from Sheet1 for example?
View 4 Replies View RelatedPrior to declaring a variable i used this code and it worked:
Sheets("442000ON-1+6").Range("C7").formula = "my formula"
range(C7).select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("C7:N7"), Type:=xlFillDefault
Than i declared a variable b/c i have a number of formulas i need to use but still needed it to fill the formula in a series after the formula ran. I started getting an error.
Fix was:
Dim formula1 As String
formula1 = "=SUMIF(Pivot!$A$6:$A$108,'442000ON-1+6'!$C$3,INDEX(Pivot!$B$6:$BP$106,0,MATCH('442000ON-1+6'!$B$1,Pivot!$B$5:$BP$5)))"
Sheets("442000ON-1+6").Range("C7").formula = formula1
Range("C7").Select
Set SourceRange = Worksheets("442000ON-1+6").Range("C7")
Set fillRange = Worksheets("442000ON-1+6").Range("C7:N7")
SourceRange.AutoFill Destination:=fillRange
Users select a row number which then opens up a Userform. Comboboxes and Textboxes on this Userform are then populated with coloumn values (dependant on the row initially selected). If the row number was the same each time I could accomplish this by the following.
Private Sub TextBox1_Enter()
TextBox1.Value = Range("a1")
End Sub
but as its a variable I'm trying the following (which I think should work)
Private Sub TextBox1_Enter()
TextBox1.Value = Range("a" & edi & "")
End Sub
I think I need to declare the variable 'edi' as Public. If so where should this be? I've tried 'Genereal Declaration'
I'm pulling data into some graphs from multiple sheets. The data I'm after is in the same place in each of the sheets, and the sheet name is varying only in that they refer to different dates, such as "01-11-13", 02-11-13 etc...
How would I go about dynamically picking up the sheet name. and referring to it?
For example if I have a column with all the different sheet names in it:
Col AA:
31-10-13
01-11-13
04-11-13
etc!
I have 100s of name ranges in my spreadsheet. I am using a series of drop down boxes for the user to select the info that they want to see. Based on the dropdown box, the macro "dynamically generates" a range name from which to pull the info.
For instance, if they Select Manager = Terry, Analyst 1, and Month = Jan, then the range name would be JanTA1
The if statement would dynamically create this name by concatenating the info
If manager = Terry
mnger = "TA"
if analyst = 1
anlyst = 1
if month = Jan
mnth = "Jan"
rangename = mnth & mnger & anlyst
So, I am dynamically creating the range name based on user selections...then to display it, I want to set the display cell = to the value
Range("display cell").Value = Range(rangename).Value
The problem is, I am getting an object error every time I try to refer to a range this way.
If I type:
Range("display cell").Value = Range("JanTA1").Value, it works

In my worksheet cell A1 represents a financial reporting period from 1 to 12. It also represents the number of columns I need to sum in order to arrive at the desired period totals in this income statement worksheet. How can I get Excel to automatically change my SUMPRODUCT function as the value in cell A1 is changed from 1 to 12?
Here is a sample cell formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(MATCH(GL1SHL.XLS!$A$2:$A$332, {"4620","5220"},0))*(GL1SHL.XLS!$CE$2:$CE$332)*(GL1SHL.XLS!$I$2:$T$332))
The above formula represents the totals for period 12 for General Ledger accounts 4620 and 5220.
GL1SHL.XLS! references the workbook that has the financial data exported from my G/L application.
$A$2:$A$332 is the column which contains the G/L account number to be matched.
$CE$2:$CE$332 references a cell that resolves to the value 1 or -1 so that expenses which are exported as positive values become negative.
$I$2:$T$332 represents the 12 columns and 332 rows that contain all the financial data necessary to calculate the income for period 12 with each row representing a different G/L account's 12 periods of financial data. I need a method to dynamically replace the 'T' in $I$2:$T$332 and resolve it based on the value in cell A1. So if A1=1 then 'T' becomes 'I' and if A1=2 then 'T' becomes 'J' etc.
I would like to do this as a macro substitution instead of having to make 12 worksheets, one for each period, or instead of having 12 nested loops.
I have a worksheet that has a column labeled "Sort Order". It is always the farthest, right-hand column. I also have a macro that sorts and re-numbers the data in that column.
My problem is that I am constantly inserting columns, so the label/count of the actual column to be sorted changes. How do I write the VBA code to automatically determine the last column?

The Board looks full of some interesting issues today.
I'm working on a workbook that hides and unhides a lot of columns depending on the month the user has selected. No problems here.
The sheets are named regionally, ie National 2008, California 2008 etc. The user is able to select the month and the year from separate combo boxes.
So when 2009 comes around I will need to rewrite many lines of code to point the VBA to the new worksheet names like National 2009, California 2009. My question is, is there a way to reference either variable worksheet names in the VBA or some other manner in which to write the code so I don't need to rewrite every year change?
I currently reference the sheets something like Sheets ("National 2008").Range("H:H").EntireColumn.Hidden=True

I am working on a macro for excel which has a userform where the user puts in the number of samples they have, then takes them to a new userform to input the weights of the samples. I want to be able to set the sample mass variable dynamically based on the number of samples they have…

spl1
spl2
spl3

x=number of samples
This number will be different each time so I am stumped at how to do this since I have just started in vba and do not know too much yet.
Is there a way to use formula (Sum in this particular case) across multiple sheets with sheet names having a particular criteria?
The sheet names are 5 digits but not sequential (cost centre numbers). I'm trying to find the total if the sheet name (number) falls within a particular range (e.g. 150xx-152xx, 153xx-168xx), with around 60 or so sheets in total.
I know it's possible to specify the range myself, or to add a blank sheet as a marker/guide to create a "sandwich" of the required sheets (e.g. =SUM(Start:End!A1)), but the cost centre ranges may change if they're changed so I'm trying to find a way to identify them as variables rather than requiring maintenance.
Although the layout of the sheets should not change (and so a macro might work..?) I think I'd prefer to find a formula (if possible).
I've created a file that uses three different variable to poll up people's names that are available for the task. I've got it to work using long formulas, containing if, index, match, etc. It's working well, but I think that the spreedsheet will become difficult to maintain (delete or add people to). I'm looking for a way to simplify my code, so that it won't be as time consuming to edit.

I want VBA to take an equation that has been entered into an worksheet cell as text and evaluate it. Here's a very simplified example that shows the concept:
Cell A1 may contain the text: "A * B + C"
I would like to do something on the order of this in VBA:
Sub Test()
Dim A As Integer, B As Integer, C As Integer
A = 2
B = 4
C = 6
MsgBox Evaluate(Workbooks("Book1").Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value)
End Sub
Obviously, this doesn't work, but I want it to show a result of 14. The actual situation is much more complex, but it all comes down to being able to evaluate the text in a worksheet and recognize the variable names that are in it.
I have a set of worksheets (Sheet31 through Sheet49 by codename) produced by a machine in the lab. I want to create a summary sheet that references cells in those worksheets.
Rather than go through the annoyance of doing this manually 40+ times I'm working on creating a macro to populate the summary sheet for me.
This is what I have so far
For J = 31 To 49
ResultSht = SheetJ.Name
Sheet1.Activate
ActiveSheet.Range("A4").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Select
It hangs up on the "SheetJ.Name" however. My objective is to be using the object SheetJ, where the object SheetJ is the codename of the results sheet I'm trying to reference (for example, in the first pass through the loop it would be Sheet31). Could someone point out my mistake in this object reference?
I have data spanning many files which are named with the date on which they were created (so there are 31 files for August).
For example:
PL080107, PL080207, PL080307, PL080407...)
I'm trying to compile all of my data into one workbook, and have the macro to append each file to a list. Now I need the macro to either OPEN each file, or ACTIVATE each file so that the rest of the Macro can grab the necessary data.
I say Open or Activate, because I can MANUALLY Open a full month's worth of files if it's easier code. If not, I would like it to open and close each workbook on its own.
I have over 7 month's worth, so opening 31 files 7 times is better than opening over 200 files individually!
I have a workbook with multiple sheets. There is an overview sheet and then 14 sheets allowing for 14 days worth of schedule information. There are then 3 sheets following the 14 days to total some information. The workbook users frequently change the sheet names of the 14 sheets to reflect days of the week.
I'm creating a copy for distribution that takes the active workbook and copies the values to a new workbook. There are columns that I would like to delete from the 14 day sheets and that would be easy enough if the sheet names were never changed.
The code I'm using currently follows (my thanks to Turtle 44 for helping on that section)
Sub Copy_Visible_Sheets()
Dim arr() As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim WB As Workbook
Dim WS As Worksheet
Set WB = ActiveWorkbook
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
'Make sure template is saved as .xls
If Not ThisWorkbook.Saved Then
MsgBox "Please save this workbook before generating a Client Copy."

I have set up a number of arrays e.g. DataSetA (1 to 100), DataSetB (1 to 100) etc.
Is it possible to use a string variable (e.g. DataIndentifier) to identify and assign values to certain arrays.
For example, under certain conditions
DataIdentifier would be set to "DataSetA" and under other conditions
DataIdentifier would be set to "DataSetB".
Having done this, I want to assign values such as DataIdentifier(1) = 3.4 or DataIdentifier (10) = 6.2 etc.
This obviously won't work because DataIdentifier is defined as a string not an array. How do I enable the string DataIdentifier to be used as an identifier for the array I want to assign values to? Therefore if DataIdentifier is set to "DataSetA" then effectively I want something like "DataIdentifier(1) = 3.4" to assign 3.4 to the array DataSetA(1).
I am working on a customer report template that generates our customers reports and will send them out automatically.
This issue I have now is that the system that generates the raw data for these reports only lists the Customers name in a column with an entry for each line of data, the thing is though that the system has lots of variations of the customers name, even more so if that customers has different departments.
What I need to do is from this list of customer names, I need to automatically figure out what the "common" name is or main name so to speak, and then make a variable using the correct full name, which will be used later on in the code to import correct logos, and direct the reports to the correct people.
Here is a quick example of what data we get raw from the system:
Customer Name:
John Build
Johns Buildings
Johns Ltd Building
Johns Plumbing Department
Glass Doors Ltd A Department of Johns Buildings
Johns Building Corporation
Hole In One Golf Range
This is just an example, we have thousands of clients, so the length, number of words etc can change alot. Ideally I from a list similar to that I would get a full proper result of "Johns Buildings Ltd" for example, this would then be in a variable to be used in code from then on to reference doing certain things with the reports of Johns Buildings Ltd.
You'll notice there is one name "Hole In One Golf Range" that seems to have no relation at all, this is correct, ideally I would also like to build in some error checking into the code, so that rows like that that have nothing to do with the others would get deleted.
So how would you amazing VBA gurus go about working with data like this? I'd prefer a more general answer with explainations that just straight code, as I'm sure I will have to adapt the hell out of it for it to be useful in context.
I would like to ask the user if when the name the worksheet the same as an already existing spreadsheet tabe if they would like to overwrite it or unload the user form.

where the number of rows and columns depend on other variables?
For example: In sheet 1, I have mentioned A = 2 and B = 3.
In the macro, I declare A and B to be integers. Then I try to declare a 2D array as follows:
Dim AB(A, B) As Integer
During compiling, it gives me an error: "Compile Error: Constant Expression Required" with the above line highlighted. What am I doing wrong?
Also, when I declare an array AB(4, 7), 4 is the number of rows and 7 is the number of columns, right?
I tend to use alot of sub but am finding I need to declare variables each time
for example
Sub Macro1
Dim i as integer
i = 10
some other code...
end sub
Sub Macro2
Dim i as integer
i = 10
some other code...
end sub
I'm having trouble creating a macro that will look at a single URL, and based on what text is in a cell, replace that name and put it into a specific location in the URL. Then the URL will open and the rest is a macro I've written already. This will then be done as many times as need as long as there is text in the column.
So I'm looking to declare the text in these cells as different variables, then have something call these variables into a specific location in a URL, then have that URL (which is a worksheet location) open up. This is because I have many URL worksheet locations on an external website, I'd like for my macro to look at the cells in column A, check "A2" and whatever that name is, and have it placed into the URL. I assume some type of loop would be useful, since I do not want them to open up all at once, but one by one based on the text or variable in the column. Then the URL will open.
Then I can run my macro code which will include copying and pasting, closing and saving. Then go the next cell, check "A3" then repeat the process. The URL for all the worksheets are all the same, except for one specifc name, which is what im looking to replace one by one.
i got this at the top of my module:
Option Explicit
Public intLRow As Integer
Public strNetDrive As String
Public strDocName As String
Const strNetDrive = "\DriveDocuments"
Then i have this as a macro to test it:
Sub test()
Range("A1").Formula = strNetDrive
End Sub
When i run the macro i get this error:
how do you declare public variables? In one of my forms I declare the variables but for some reason can not access them in other forms.

Public Angle_new As Integer
Public Pl_new As Integer
