How To Reference Another Worksheet In A Macro

Nov 3, 2009

I am writing a macro that will use information from the worksheet in use and the one prior to it. The problem is I do not know how to reference the worksheet that will always come before the worksheet in use. To fill you in, I have a monthly budget worksheet that tracks all my monthly financials. What I like to do is compare this months balances (cash, equity, bonds) and see the amount of loss/gain and percentage from the month before.

Here is what i currently have implemented.

This macro was written in the month of October. For this function the macro I wrote will take Octobers cash balance and subtract it from Septembers cash balance. This will give me the gain or loss. Now the problem is if I were to run this macro in November it will still reference September not October. I always want the macro to use the month before (the 1st tab to the left) not a specific tab. I wrote this macro using relative references so I do not understand why it will not use the tab before. Can someone please shed some light on this for me?

Formula/Macro To Reference From Other Worksheet

Oct 8, 2009

Maybe it's not as complicated as i'm thinking, but i'm trying to figure out a formula (or macro) that will let me basically fill in a blank from a (nearly) irrelivant second worksheet. The only similarity the two will have is a PO number, or in my picture diagram, it's a letter. The worksheet that i'm trying to fill in the blank from has maybe 1500 entries, the worksheet i am referencing to has roughly 11,000, so sorting it would make no difference and the columns would be very inconsistant with eachother, but the rows will be similar.

I want to start a formula in Sheet one, that looks at the Letter in that same row, finds that Letter in Sheet two, and gets information from the same row but a few columns over. I might be explaining this poorly, so here's a picture of what i'm referring to. I'm trying to fill in F6 in Sheet 1 with information from F2 in Sheet 2.

Workbook / Worksheet Reference Macro?

Apr 19, 2012

I have a Workbook that has a macro that, as of now, is referencing the Workbook's file name. I'd like it to just be referencing the worksheet itself (it is in the same workbook) so that when the file name is changed, the macro still works.

I know which part needs to be changed... just not what to!

Code:
Sub CopyData()
Dim Cell As Range
Dim DstWkb As Workbook
Dim DstWks As Worksheet
Dim R As Long
Dim Rng As Range
Dim RngEnd As Range
Dim SrcCols() As Variant
Dim SrcWks As Worksheet

[code]....

Reference Cell For Worksheet Name Macro Code

Apr 11, 2008

I've got 3 sheets, A, B, and C. In sheet C, I have a cell named "element". That cell can have either the letter A or the letter B in it. In my VB code, I want to reference the sheet which correlates with the "element" cell. So,

Worksheets("element").Select

when the user clicks my "go" button, it calls this logic, and I want the worksheet that correleates to the letter in the cell in worksheet C - to open.

The reason for my posting - this is not working, and may not even be possible. Perhaps someone has experience in this and knows how to do it - or knows a different way to do this.

Macro Code To Add Reference On Sheet To Next Worksheet

Jun 29, 2008

how to use VBA to write a formula in one sheet that refers to a fixed cell on the sheet to the right. The referenced sheet may have different names and it may be in a different order (i.e. not Sheet(2)) but it will always be one sheet to the right. I just want to have cell A1=(cell B2 one sheet to the right).

Excel 2013 :: Macro That Can Reference Worksheet It Has Created

Jul 4, 2014

I am completely new to Macro's and VB and the macro below has been generated using the "Record Macro" function in Excel 2013 with a couple of very minor modifications based on some research I have done (hyperlink & input box). My ultimate goal is to make a copy of my "TEMPLATE", which is hidden and the copy could have a variety of names, then create an entry in my "SUMMARY" table that references cells on the newly created sheet. The new entry on the SUMMARY page should be entered in the next available row ... at the moment I need to make sure I have my cursor in the right place before I run the macro. I also want the first cell in the new "SUMMARY" row to create a hyperlink to the newly created worksheet.

The macro does what I need it to do, as long as I name the new sheet "Test", what I would like is for the Macro to recognise the name of the new worksheet and create links to that name. The rows and columns in each new sheet will remain the same, hence the R##C## part will always work.

The "SUMMARY" and "TEMPLATE" worksheet names will not (ever) change.

Macro - Paste Formula Into Another Worksheet Using Active Sheet Name As Reference

Jan 9, 2014

I'm using a macro to paste a formulae into a destination cell on another worksheet.

The problem is that I need the Macro to put the name of the active sheet into the formulae

VB:
Sheets("Front").Select
Range("E1").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Range("E3").Select
ActiveCell.Formula=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MATCH(9E+99+306,*****ActiveSheet.Name*****!F:F,1),6,4))

The macro has to work whis way becuse I will be using it with multiple worksheets, all with different names.

Macro Used Textbox In Worksheet Rather Than Cell Reference As Criteria To Find Matches

Sep 26, 2013

This is a continuation of thread 182629 [URL] ....

The End User wanted originally to type characters into cell C1 of a worksheet that the macro searched for in another worksheet, copying across every row containing the input.

The responses gave me the following code which worked perfectly:

VB:
With Sheets("PICKLIST")
myFind = "*" & .[c1].Value & "*"
End With
If myFind = "*" & "" & "*" Then Exit Sub

Unfortunately, the user NOW wants a Text Box instead of putting the characters into a cell.

I added a textbox (originally called 'TextBox2' but renamed "Choice") and "Dimed" CHOICE As Range.

Then tried the following code:

VB:
With Sheets("PICKLIST")
myFind = "*" & CHOICE & "*"
End With

But it generates a "RunTime Error 91" - Object variable or With block variable not set.

Convert Cell Reference To Worksheet Reference

Jul 20, 2014

I have a workbook with 1000+ worksheets, all of which have 3-letter names. On a master sheet, I would like to make a query of how many non-empty cells there are on a subsidiary worksheet. This works:

Code:
=COUNTA(ABC!A:A)
What I'd like to do from time to time is input in column A a varying set of 3-letter worksheet names, say

AAB
ABC
CDE

And have a formula in column B that converts this to

=COUNTA(AAB!A:A)
=COUNTA(ABC!A:A)
=COUNTA(CDE!A:A)

I've learned that simply substituting the cell references A1, A2, A3 for AAB, ABC and CDE doesn't work. What do I need to do to achieve this?

Create A Separate Worksheet That Has The Data In And Reference Cells On Budget Worksheet?

Feb 7, 2014

I need to reference the projected and actual expenses from the total on worksheet 'expenses' So i did so, however, if I change the drop down on the expenses worksheet to only display housing data, then the projected and actual expenses on my budget worksheet changes as well to the new data portrayed on the expenses worksheet.

I need to reference the cell, without it changing when I change the category display, but I need the cell to change accordingly if I enter new data in the overall tablet on the expenses worksheet.

Or do I need to create a seperate worksheet that has the data in and reference my cells on my budget worksheet to that new worksheet?

Using Cell Value To Reference Worksheet Name?

Aug 5, 2014

I have a worksheet with additional worksheet name listed in Column G, starting in G3.

I want to run this formula on each sheet, using the value in Column G as the WORKSHEETNAME.

=COUNTIFS(A7:A1000,">12/31/2010",A7:A1000,"<1/1/2012",F7:F1000,"Excluded")

Faulty example of what I'm trying to do:
=COUNTIFS('WORKSHEETNAME'!A7:A1000,">12/31/2010",''WORKSHEETNAME'!A7:A1000,"<1/1/2012",''WORKSHEETNAME'!F7:F1000,"Excluded")

I've tried INDIRECT, but I cant seem to make it work.

Reference Worksheet With Changing Name

Aug 23, 2007

I want to select a specific worksheet by it's VB name. In other words, if the sheet comes up as: Sheet3 (ESF) in the VB Editor, I would like to choose it using the Sheet3 designation. I can do it using the (ESF) designation using:

Sheets("ESF").Select

But I prefer to use Sheet3 so when the users change the name, the macro still works.

I want the formula to calculate, in my example, the sum of 2 cells on a different worksheet.

Copy Formula To Reference Next Worksheet

Feb 20, 2007

I have my inventory based in excel. Each brand has it's own file. Each file has several worksheets with all of the items, prices, etc. on them. When I get a shipment, I fill out the next worksheet in line. This way- I have a record of my inventory and a worksheet for each shipment. It has been working very well. The first worksheet in each file is a summary page that shows me the grand totals, shipping charge, etc. from each filled in worksheet page. the problem is I have to build that summary page for each worksheet I fill in.

I would like a way to tell excel to give the same information as I requested in the previous row, but the next worksheet down.

Reference Cell From Another Excel Worksheet?

Dec 6, 2013

I've done this loads of times before but doing it this morning seems to not be working at all.

Previously I'd be in Sheet 1, I put the equals sign, I click into Sheet 2 in the cell I want, hit enter, and hey presto the external cell is referenced in Sheet 1.

However, what I'm trying to do here is not reference individual sheets within an excel document, but reference a totally separate Excel document. Can I do this or not?

If so how? Because when I select the second worksheet after I've entered the = sign, it just takes me to the second sheet - it doesn't seem to 'remember' that I'm in the middle of a formula.

Correctly Reference Worksheet In VBA Formula

May 5, 2014

I am trying to use a match function to determine which row information resides on so that I can update other information on that row but I am having problems setting up the match function.

The information is obtained from a combobox on a user form which identifies the correct address and then additional information is added to other fields on that line in the spreadsheet. PropertyListAll is a dynamic named range looking at the first column in the spreadsheet. the data starts in row 11.

My code is as follows, but I am getting error message 438. I am assuming I am referencing the workbook and named range incorrectly but I have tried various different combination all to no avail.

Code:
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Worksheets("Team Vals - Take ons")
rownumber = WorksheetFunction.Match(cboProperty.Value, ws & "!PropertyListAll", 0)
Sheet1.Range("tblTakeons").cells(rownumber, 2).Value = txtDate.Value
