How To Write Code That Does Not Change Even If It Can't Reference Target Cell
Oct 22, 2013
When ever I update my external CSV file and hit refresh all data, I get #REF! Errors. The CSV file has a table that changes daily. Thus the "A" Column has a different number of rows depending on the day. The problem is that Monday the CSV file will contain 700 Rows, while on Friday it will have 200 Rows. I end up with a lot of #REF! Errors friday. How do I write the code so that (A561 for example) does not change regardless if it can reference the target cell or not? I even thought of making a macro that just copied the formula into all of the cells after each refresh, but there must be a better way.
Example code
=IF(A561>0,IF(Start!$H$2="Monday",'calculations-mon-sat'!O561,calculation!O561),"")
=IF(#REF!>0,IF(Start!$H$2="Monday",'calculations-mon-sat'!O567,calculation!O567),"")

I need to hide/unhide a couple of rows based on the result of a formula in the Target Range. Basically, Cell D2 contains the results of a sum (a+ B), if this is greater than 10,000, unhide the next row.

I'm trying to create a sheet where clicking in a range brings up, in my users words, "a box I can type loads of comments in". They want some kind of flag in this cell showing if comments are posted or not. So far so ok, got the userform to pop up using the selection change event below and dump the actual comments somewhere the user won't look. A rather inelegant IF statement to see if there's anything in the dump cell gives them their flag.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("B2:B300")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
UserForm1.TextBox1.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 10).Value
UserForm1.show
End Sub
So what's the problem? When I select entire rows, the userform pops up. Is this unavoidable?

How do I change a formula cell reference based on another cell's reference? I'm building a schedule that looks to a task's trigger and adds days based on that relationship. All entries in column "A" will be text and all cells in "B" will be the simple formula "=A2" or "=A3". Due date is calculated by adding the value in "C" to the preceding date in column "D". In the spreadsheet below, the trigger for "Budget set" is "Specs written" with 3 days added to the previous due date.
________A________________B_____________C_________D
1 Task___________Trigger_____________Days_____Due Date
2 Design begins__Proj OK______________10____10-Jan
3 Specs written__Design begins (A2)____5____15-Jan (D2+C3)
4 Budget set_____Specs written (A3)____3____18-Jan (D3+C4)
If the trigger for A4, "Budget set", changed from A3 to A2, is there a way that the formula that determines the due date in D4 could read the trigger cell reference in B4 so that the value in the corresponding row in column "C" is added in the date column?

I've been trying to configure my formula in Worksheet_Change to only run when targeted cells are being changed (by using Target). I don't get it to work properly.
A cell value is supposed to change in column AK when the equivalent cell in column H is changed. se my formula below.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = "H" Then
Dim LastRow As Long
[Code].....
Anyone used to work with Worksheet_Change Target who can see how I use Target wrong?

If for example cell A1 begins empty with no data in it other than a formula and something occurs to change the state of cell A1 to a value which triggers a change in cell B1 (a variable), can I use this to fire a sheet change macro ????
Wish to trigger a macro on sheet change based on every cell in column C, is this even possible ???
Or, is a change in a variable (C1) for example, the same as that of a DIRECT user keyboard input for example ???
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim c As Range
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Columns(3)) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each c In Target

Complete and utter newbie here, so I will apologies now if what i am asking is a simple thing or complete nonsense..
I have a spreadsheet which has links in it to another file/spreadsheet.
What i need to do is update/edit those links so that they point to another file and cell reference. Can this be done using a macro? or is this something that cant be done using macros/vba?
New to all this so am just getting to grips with it..

I'm trying to run a macro anytime cells G2, J2, M2, O2, P2, S2, V2, Y2, AB2, AE2, AH2, AK2, AN2, AQ2 change.
Right now I have the below code which is working well, but I only have it set for G2. Do you know what the notation is to make the target range multiple cells?
Also, I use the xlDown command in my sorting code, but later on it reverts back to "A5:AT60"... is there any way I can remove these specific cell references? I want to avoid having to re-write the macro every time my selection shrinks or expands.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Not Intersect(Target, Range("G2")) Is Nothing Then
Rows("5:5").Select
[Code]....

Below is an example from the ozgrid forum illustrating the worksheet change event. Not sure of the meaning of 'Do nothing if more than one cell is changed" on the 2nd row of the code. Does it means that if a value is entered in other cells, the code will not fire?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Do nothing if more than one cell is changed or content deleted
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Or IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
'Ensure target is a number before multiplying by 2
If IsNumeric(Target) Then
'Stop any possible runtime errors and halting code
On Error Resume Next
'Turn off ALL events so the Target * 2 does not _
put the code into a loop.
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target = Target * 2
'Turn events back on
Application.EnableEvents = True
'Allow run time errors again
On Error Goto 0
End If
End If
End Sub

how to allow both these codes to work on say sheet 1. I can get one to work just fine. So, any tips on how to get them both to work on the same sheet would be great.
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel. Range)
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, .Range("n1:n200")) Is Nothing Then
If Target = "S" Or Target = "s" Then Target = "Submitted"
If Target = "A" Or Target = "a" Then Target = "Approved"
If Target = "I" Or Target = "i" Then Target = "Investgating"
Else
End If
End With
End Sub
and this,.............

This piece of code copies cell info from column A into cell B1 only when cursor 'scrolls' on Col. A
How can i modify the code so that it copies into cell B1 when cursor scrolls up/down regardless of col.?
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Selection.Cells.Count = 1 Then
If Target.Column = 1 And Target.Value "" Then
Range("b1").Value = Target.Value
End If
End If

I require the following part of the code to target 2 cells G10 and N536
i guess this is simple but just not sure how it will work
Case Target.Address = "$G$10"
If Not IsDate(Target.Value) Then Exit Sub
Dim DateSuffix As String
Select Case Day(Target.Value)
Case 1, 21, 31
DateSuffix = "st"
Case 2, 22
DateSuffix = "nd"
Case 3, 23
DateSuffix = "rd"
Case 4 To 30
DateSuffix = "th"
End Select
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Value = Format(Target.Value, "d") & DateSuffix & Format(Target.Value, " mmmm, yyyy")
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Select

I have a massive excel sheet with 300,000 rows and 100+ columns. When reading back through my formulas, it can get very confusing. Example: "=(AZ9*5 + 1)+BH9/2 +(AP9*0.75)" I then have to figure out what each column letter is representing. Instead of this, could I rename a column so I can reference the variable name? Example:
Instead of =CONCATENATE(A4, " ", B4)
have
=CONCATENATE(FirstName4, " ", LastName4)

I am using this formula
=IF($A5="Select","",MAX(INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE($A5,"/","")&"m1440"&"!d:d")))
It looks for the sheet based on A5
It finds the max number from the sheet in Column D
This is what i would like to do please....
On this found sheet - Column A has dates in this format yyyy.mm.dd
I would like to enter a date in a cell (say for example AA5 on main sheet)
Can the formula above be adapted to:
Look for sheet based on A5
then
Look at date entered in AA5
then
use Vllookup to find row containing date in AA5 (making table range the ENTIRE SHEET found based on A5)
then
Return value from Column D

Is there a way to change a cell reference within a formula. ie: If the formula is =A1 (in reference to cell A1) and I wanted a new cell to have the reference =A10. Can I make a formula which was A1+9, and therefore lookup A10.

I am creating a schedule to use for our helpdesk - it has pre-defined tasks that need to be assigned each day - easy enough to accomplish with a formula. And I've done this by using this similar formula on each line of the tasks (This first task is based on a manual entery into one field (B19))
=IF(AND(B6="Liz"),"Paul",IF(AND(B6="Paul"),"Mark",IF(AND(B6="Mark"),"Diane",IF(AND(B6="Diane"),"Jeff",IF(AND(B6="Jeff"),"Dan R",IF(AND(B6="Dan R"),"Chris",IF(AND(B6="Chris"),"Liz","")))))))
So, B4 is one task (phones) and the formula above (B6) is from another task (tickets) and then a third task (admin) looks at the value of B5 and uses the same formula above, etc.
However, I want to be able to change the value of a single cell, based on the (manual entry) value of another (out of task) series of cells (i.e. Sick (B35) & vacation (B36)) - and I don't want any of the other task cells(in the C cell series of 'tasks'), that are basically linked together by the value of the other cell, to change. Thus, in turn, would mean that the same person would now be in two different cells, and thus is creating a circular reference.
Let me spell this out a bit clearer.
The first manual field is B19 - If I enter 'Chris' into this field, then field C5 matches it. Then field B6 uses the formula above to figure it's value; as does B7 thru B12.
Now, If I put another manual entry into 'Sick' (B35), then I want whichever task that person is assigned to (for this example, we'll say I entered 'Jeff" into Sick, and Jeff happens to be on 'tickets' that day) to change to whoever is in cell B12 - but I don't want any of the other cells to change - but, since they are all dependant on each other, this doesn't seem like a possibility.
I've tried creating a count of names in the Sick or Vacation fields and then added this to the formula
=IF(AND(C5="Liz", B38=0),"Paul",IF(AND(C5="Paul",B41=0),"Mark",IF(AND(C5="Mark",B40=0),"Diane",IF(AND(C5="Diane",B40=0),"Jeff",IF(AND(C5="Jeff",B43=0),"Dan R",IF(AND(C5="Dan R",B37=0),"Chris",IF(AND(C5="Chris",B45=0),"Liz",B12)))))))
B38 being Pauls count; B41 being Marks, etc - so as long as their count equals zero, they are 'eligible' to fill that slot.
B12 is the last person on the schedule.

I have this piece of Code which I am trying to tweak;
Code:
If Target.Offset(0, 1) = "" Then
Target.Offset(0, 1).Activate
Add: Rspn = InputBox("Please enter the Colour Code for " & Target.Value, "Validating Data Integrity")
[Code] .......
What happens is that the user Enters a Color, say Copper, then an Input Box appears with a message:
Please enter the Color Code for Copper. What I would like to achieve is to have the word Copper displayed in Quotes. i.e. "Copper".

The spreadsheet attached is a timesheet I use. The last column on the sheet (IV) keeps a running total of time spent on each project. I need a way that i can find out how much time was spent on projects in specific timeframes (eg 01/01/09 - 07/01/01, or 01/01/09 - 31/01/09). my initial thought is perhaps i can have a "from" cell and a "to" cell to input the dates i require and it will total the relevant cells in the rows below.
NOTE! This workbook uses VBA to auto hide any column which are dates previous to today's date so you may need to unhide them to view times logged.

I have added this bit of code to change the apperance of entered time from 0835 to 08:35
UserInput = Target.Value
If UserInput > 1 Then
NewInput = Left(UserInput, Len(UserInput) - 2) & ":" & Right(UserInput, 2)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target = NewInput
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
And it works like a charm. Except that if the content in one of the cells later is deleted a "Run time error 13" is the result. Debug leeds to the line "If Userinput >1 Then"
Can this error be avoided..?

Trying to write a UDF Code for a User Form. The User puts in the data for the element it is trying to find the pressure in mm Hg for.
I want a Msg Box to appear when the desired temperature is less than the lower limit temp. and the desired temp is greater than the upper limit temp.
I figured out how to get the message box to appear, but I have not figured how to get the If statement to continue with the calculation if the desired temp is within range. When I press the command button to calculate, the message box appears whether the temp is in range or not.
My code is as follows:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim A As Double
Dim B As Double
Dim C As Double
Dim Pvapor As Double
