Formula In The Name Define In Workbook That Refers To Another Workbook
Jul 26, 2009I have a formula in the Name Define part of excel in workbook that refers to another workbook. =IF(COUNTIF([DaysWorking.xls]Sunday!$A:$A,'2009'!I1)>0,1,"")
The DaysWorking.xls workbook is a data workbook, users may change the data and after they are done, they may exit the program but not save it. The DaysWorking.xls workbook should always revert back to the original form. I've put a read only property on it, but the problem lies when the user saves the file under Save/As function. Excel then updates the link to whatever the user saves the file as. Is there a way to make sure that the formula never get's changed?
Using Automated Index Sheet To Summarize Catalog - Extract Text String To Define Cell
Jun 10, 2013I have a built a catalogue of records for various of my companies assets. Each asset has its own sheet in a work book and I have used a vb macro to include an automatic Index sheet at the front of the book. This takes the names of the various tabs, in the order I have them in the workbook and creates a simple listing in column A as an Index List
What I want to do is to build a summary table to the right of the Index List, pulling in a few of the key data points about the assets into a single table.
To do that I need to be able to extract the text string from the Index List and use it to form part of a cell reference pointing to a specific cell in the relevant individual Asset sheets.

VBA To Define A Range - Worksheet Name With Spaces
Apr 30, 2013I found some code online that works great for defining a named range. My only issue is that occasionally my worksheet name will contain spaces. this throw off the current code. i do know that if i manually go in to the range and add a "'" to the beginning and to the end of the worksheet name it fixes it. unfortunatly i cannot figure out how to add the "'" in the following VBA.
Code:
Sub AddDynamicRangeVertical()
On Error Resume Next
Dim sRangeName As String
Dim n As Name
If ActiveWorkbook Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

Define Worksheet & Range In One Code
Nov 8, 2008I got this code I have been trying to solve but it does not work...
What I need to do is define a worksheet and a range of that worksheet.
I can only seam to work out either a worksheet or a range but not the two together.
Private Sub cmd_Cform_Click()

Define Worksheet Level Names
Oct 26, 2009I was trying to re-create an example from Chapter 4 the 2nd Edition of Professional Excel Development in which there is a data validation list,
that is conditionally populated according to the selection of another data validation list.
When you choose b/t Fruits or Vegetables (Source:=Categories) in column D, the list under Item (column E) will read as a group of Fruits or Vegetables (Source:=If(IsBlank(D4),"",Indirect(D4)).
When I look at the Define Name dialog box, there is a column indicating the sheet name, which I cannot re-create/build myself. My first question is how do I do this, and secondly, the 2nd formula above will not work when I plug it into the data validation, but it may be on account of these worksheet level names. If you guys can see another reason why, I'm all ears (or eyes as it were).
UPDATE: Of course, I just tried it again this morning and it worked, but i would still lke to know how to use Worksheet/book level names.
Define List In Workbook States Not A Valid Name
Jan 8, 2009I have been working on creating a dependent drop down list and have been able to create lists (Insert > Name > Define) and it has worked for all the lists except 2. It will not allow me to create a list titled C or R. I get a pop up stating "that is not a valid name". Why is that?
I have a list for each letter of the alphabet except the letters C & R. No matter what I seem to do I just keep getting the pop up window stating that it is not a valid name. I also tried closing the workbook and restarting the pc and then trying but the same thing keeps happening.Thanks!

Feb 7, 2014I am looking for a code that would copy the data from each worksheet in a given workbook and then paste to just one worksheet within a different workbook. The Sheet names are auto generated when I run this canned report but the naming structure is always the same...the first worksheet is named Repair Details and then the next sheet is named Repair Details_1, the next sheet is named Repair Details_2 and so on for every sheet in workbook. So I would like to copy all of the data(Headers to last cell) and then paste in a worksheet(ex: Master Repair Report.xlsx and the worksheet could be titled Master Repair Details) on a different workbook, then the next sheet would copy from the one under the header to the last record and paste to the same workbook. This process would repeat for every worksheet in the Repair Details Workbook and paste to Master Repair Details worksheet in the Master Repair Report workbook.

Aug 12, 2009I need to copy a range of values (actually two ranges). The ranges are of fixed size. Le't say A2:D20 and E2:H20.
Both workbooks have the exact same layout, and they both have the same named worksheet (in this case it's called Entry). However the actual filename of the source workbook is unknown. I know numerous users have changed the filename of the xls file.
I want to instruct them to open the old and new workbook, and open a third workbook containing the copy macro, they run the macro and it copies the data.
How can I reference a known worksheet name but of an unknown workbook name esp when the source and destination share the worksheet name?

Jan 11, 2010I have a Course Table with like id columns and name columns. What i did was since, when you use a sql on a worksheet, it uses the first row as the column names. So i made a name list, so that the 3rd row would be my column heading and anything down would the data for each column.
The problem i run into is that when i run the macro to export it into a word document to be merged, it makes me select the name list which has the data, is there any way i can use the name list in the sql statement instead of selecting it every time? I tried looking in the excel help and couldn't find anything.

Split The String And Paste Into A Worksheet
Nov 12, 2009I need to open a text based file (not a txt file), read the data in as a String. Split the string and paste into a worksheet. The string really has 2 delimitors a & and a =.
Ideally, I would like to keep only what was between the = and the &. But would settle for splitting the string by &, then putting token to left of = in one column and token to right of = in the next column. The first sounded cleaner, but I'm getting desparate.
This didn't sound hard when I started, but I've never really done VBA before and it has been posing a much greater problem than I thought. I've tried several things, but this is the latest rendition. Am I thinking too much in terms of C++ and Java? ...
Converting A String To A Worksheet Variable
Feb 1, 2007I have a userform that reads in a list of names into a combobox. When you choose a name from the combobox it then shows the that persons details from a sheet containing all the names.
I have some text boxes that allows the data to be modified and returns it to the sheet which works fine. What i also want it to do it put the data from the form into a sheet for that individual. For example the name of Ford would go into the Ford worksheet.
How do i read in the value from the combobox on the worksheet and use it as a variable to use in my code. For example
Sheets(Value from the combobox).Cells(NoOfRows, 3).Value = Me.TextBoxChangePosistion.Value
*NoOfROws is the variable to find a blank row

Open/close Workbook Depending On A Part Of String
Jul 26, 2007I have create a menu with buttons that are attached to the different projects of vba. This menu will be put in the server of my department so all my colleagues can take profit of the macros. Is a menu in an excel file that only contains the vba projects, not the sheets where the macros are supposed to run. My problem start when you want to open the file. It will always be in the same disk "P:COAP", and then there are more subdirectories (year, month)... so the total path, for example, this month is:"P:COAP2007200706". But every month, it changes, logically.
The problem is that i need to open a file with the name "COAP-200706 Concentració Empresa Emissora" in this case... the only thing that changes is month, and year...
I want to close the booke i choose, to avoid errors, if the name of the workbook chosen is different to a part of this string. In this case, i'm trying to close the book if the name of the file or the book don't contains the string "Concentració Empresa Emissora", without saving changes, of course... because sometimes people have chosen badly the files and they've made a disaster. If the file chosen contains this string in the name i want to continue with all the code that is written after.
ChDrive "P:"
ChDir "P:COAP2007"
NouFitxer = Application. GetOpenFilename
If NouFitxer = "" Then Exit Sub
Workbooks.Open Filename:=NouFitxer
If ActiveWorkbook.Name <> "*" & "Concentració Empresa Emissora" & ".xls" Then
Msg = MsgBox("Error in the file opened. Look at the name of the file next time." _
& vbCrLf & "The program will close without finishing the process. Start again. Thanks", _

Pull Out Earliest And Latest Dates Associated With Text String In Workbook
Feb 7, 2014I'm trying to pull out the earliest and latest dates associated with a text string in a workbook.
Min Max dates example.xlsx
i.e. in this example, I want one column to display the earliest date associated with DU 145, and the next column to display the latest.
From what I understand, I need an array formula to do this and have written the following, which works:
=MIN(IF($A$2:$A$6=A2,$B$2:$B$6))
(confirmed with CSE) - and the same for MAX.
Where I'm struggling is that DU 145 may be entered in the workbook as DU145, DU 145 or DU-145 and I need to take all of them into account. I tried:
=MIN(IF($A$2:$A$6="du*145",$B$2:$B$6))
As this works in a COUNTIF formula in the same sheet. But this just returns a date of 00/01/1900. I'm new to array formulae & haven't really worked them out yet. Is there a way to do this? I assume it's something to do with the way I'm entering text as removing the wildcard * makes no difference.
Find If Text Cell Contains A String Of Characters From Array In Different Workbook
Aug 12, 2011I've scoured the internet for this answer and have not found a formula that works.
I have a list of domain names/URLs in column A of workbook 1:
jhjh.com
hajfh.co.nz
123.123.12.12
I have a list of domain name extensions in workbook #2:
.com
.co.nz
.net
I want to determine if the cells in column A workbook one contain any of the strings in workbook 2 - note that I need to look at the string, not the entire cell in workbook one. If there is a match, true, if not, false for that cell within workbook one.
It's sort of a reverse array lookup with text. It seems that cross workbook and text is what causes the challenge.
