Dynamic Named Ranges And Indirect Data Validation INCOMPATIBLE?
Sep 25, 2009I can use a dynamic named range and a direct reference to the name and the DV works.
I can use a standard named range (not dynamic) and an INDIRECT() reference to a cell with the name of the range in it and the DV works.
But if I try to use a dynamic named range and an indirect reference to a cell with the name of the range in it, the DV fails.
Any workarounds out there? This project includes a LOT of DV lists, getting them to self-maintain is important if I can do it.
Different Calculations For Different Data Types
Mar 8, 2012As a complete novice....I want to:
1. Create a list of 3 different types of projects
2. Write three different types of calculations that should be undertaken dependent on the type of project. Each will be in a separate worksheet.
3. Make sure once I've checked the project type I apply the right calculations that match the project type
4. Summarise the results of the calculations against each of the projects
Can I do this just in excel or do I need to use macros?
User-Defined Data Types
Apr 12, 2009My question is about creating User-Defined Data Types. Is there ANY way possible i can create a User-Defined Data Type that declares a variable of another User-Defined Data Type instead of the Pre-Defined User Types like String, Integer, etc?
The following explains my problem in more detail.
I know to create a User-Defined Data Type at the top of the module before any procedures. Like this:
Create Hierarchy Of Data Types
Apr 28, 2009My question is about creating a hierarchy of Data Types.
I need to code 3 Data Types:
1.) MealPlan
2.) Meal
3.) MealItem
MealPlan represents a daily meal plan. It should have a certain number of meals. An example of MealPlan would be "Healthy" and have a total of 3 meals. Meal represents a single meal. It should have a certain number of meal items. An example of Meal would be "Meal 1" and have a total of 3 meal items. MealItem represents a single meal item. It should have a certain number of protein calories, fat calories, carb calories. An example of MealItem would be "Broccoli" and have protein calories of .2, carb calories of .8, fat calories of .1.
By using Data Types, I hope to create meal plans, which are made up of meals, which are made of meal items. The following code creates a Data Type hierarchy for two Data Types. I've examined it closely but i'm still having a hard time recreating it for my needs as stated above.
Formatting Charts With Different Data Types
Jan 3, 2012I have three items I would like to graph, on one chart. The first is %Complete. This is a number figure. The next is the date the item is due to ship. Obv, this is a Date. The third is today's date. Basically, I would like to display in the same chart so that we can see how far a long a project is, in relation with today's date and how much longer we have until it needs to ship.
This is the current display of the chart:
Is there a way to show the ship date, as the 100% complete mark? In order to make it display half-way decent, I had to format the left y-axis to go above 100%. I first tried to format the right y-axis, but was extremely confused to setting values. I figured out that the end date is somewhere in the 40,000 value mark? WTF is this about? Is 1 equal to 24 hours? I assumed that was the case, but then when I pick the value it should end with, it doesn't seem to react that way. I want the right axis to start with 12/01/2011 and end with 5/01/2012. How can I achieve this?
Data Types When Opening CSV Files
Sep 20, 2012I have a csv file. When I open it by double clicking, all the finance figures appear as currency with the currency symbol. I can use the SUM function on these and it's perfect.
However, when I open this file using a macro, these same numbers look the same, except that they are now left justified and are text because the SUM function no longer works. If I select a range, I get the count of the number of items selected showing at the bottom of the screen but not the sum.
I have tried opening the file using the OpenText function which has several ways of setting a date format to the fields but nothing for numbers.
I have even tried, in the macro, selecting a cell with numeric 1 and then selecting the range and pasting the 1 as a multiply function but this doesn't work either.
Structures Or An Arrays Of Different Data Types.
Sep 19, 2008I an newbie at VBA but I took some short programing classes back at my college days. I am trying to declare an array with different data types and since that seems to be imposible for what I gather then my other option is to declare what I remember as a structure.

Jul 18, 2009In one excel book I have 2 sheets.
1. One sheet (request type wise) contains request type and the phase which it belongs to. eg request type A belongs to phase 1 and request type B belongs to phase 2. (like wise there are 212 request types divided into 8 phases)
2. The second sheet contains raw data (request type) where the request types are randomly arranged.
What I am trying to do is:
Compare the raw data of sheet 2 with standard data in sheet 1 and paste the phase to which it belongs to with a help of macro/code, since the standard data (212 request types with 8 phases) is huge.
Assign Variable To Different Data Types
Oct 12, 2007Putting the final touches on a project I have and the last element doesn't work 100%. the scenario: I have a function that I wrote based on the user's input of the desired column to perform the operation. As a method of error-trapping and ease of use, I set instructions for the code to activate:
1) if the user highlights multiple cells of the desired column
2) enters the letter of the column (up to "z", not case sensitive)
3) enters the number of the column
Sub Button5_Click()
Dim ColumnUsed As Variant
' find number of columns selected
For MyColNum = 1 To Selection.Columns.Count
Cols = Cols + 1
Next MyColNum
'find number of rows selected
For MyRowNum = 1 To Selection.Rows.Count
Rows = Rows + 1
Next MyRowNum..............................
Geographic Coordinate Data Types / Formats
Feb 15, 2008I often find that it would be useful to have a data type for geographic coordinates (i.e. latitudes and longitudes) that would e.g. permit/facilitate formatting negative values as South and West, direct subtraction of one latitude/longitude from another, conversion of degrees-minutes-seconds to decimal degrees, properly formatted axis labels when using Excel to draw maps (at the moment, I am editing the axis labels in the PostScript file by hand, when I don't use chart labeller to paste axis labels in) and so on.
(Time formats could be used, if only they could be prevented from converting hours over 24 to days, which I have not found out how to do.)
Therefore: does anyone know of any Add-In out there somewhere that could supply the lack of a geographic coordinate data type?
Copy Non-contiguous Cells And Varying Data Types
Nov 4, 2013I have a non-contiguous range of cells that contains Values, Formulas, Text or Dates. In some cases a field containing a value could instead contain a formula depending on who is filling out the form and/or what information is known. For example, a cell might contain a value, i.e. Utilities, and I might either know the total ($76,310), or I might need to perform a calculation right in the cell to obtain the total (=54236+9587+12487).
My goal is to be able to copy the information contained in this non-contiguous range to the right some 52 columns (this is a safe temporary storage location) and then be able to copy it back should I need to.
One other problem may be that the source cell might be a merged cell.
Since I cannot determine whether the information is going to be a value or a formula, and I have some text and date formats to copy as well, is there some way to copy this range and keep the data regardless of format?
My Range might look like: (F4, C5, D6:D7, D9, D13:D15, D17:D18, D22:D25, D27:D30)
F4 is a date field, C5 is a merged cell holding text, D6 is the Utilities field described above. The other fields are all formatted as dollars or percentages.
Counting TYPES Of Duplicates
May 23, 2014I have a dataset that has a good number of duplicates, many of which have more than 2 records.
In these sets of duplicates, there are two fields that have many combinations of values.
I would like to find a way to COUNT THE COMBINATIONS in all of the sets of duplicates, as in, every time there is a type of a certain combination of values, create a count for it:
12345 9 9
12345 9 0
123456 9 9
123456 9 0
(Total: 2) For 9/9 and 9/0
12344567 0 0
12344567 0 0
12344567 0 0
12344567 0 0
12344567 0 0
12344567 0 0
(Total: 2) For 0/0 3x
I have attached a listing of types of combinations that I found by scanning the database, but I don't know what formula or functions would do the trick. I don't think there is something in Subtotal or the Count functionality that would apply but I will fumble around.
Filtering For Multiple Pay Types

Range Types Not Iterchangeable
Sep 5, 2008I have portion of a macro that works when I specify a range like this:
ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets(A).Range("O5:T41"), _ PlotBy:=xlColumnsEnd Sub
But I need one of the coordinates to be changeable on eacj round of the macro so I wrote this:
ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets(A).Range(Cells(5, 15), Cells(B, 20)), _ PlotBy:=xlColumns
But when I executed the macro, it froze on this lines saying "Method of 'Cells' Global Failure. I need a way around this but I have no idea how at this point.
Redim Custom Types
Aug 11, 2006I want to have an array where each record contains a name and three numbers. My understanding is that Excel requires all element types within an array to be the same, and so I turned to a user-defined data type. But I don't seem to be able to create a dynamic array out of this type--when I try to ReDim Preserve it, I get an error saying that it's already defined. Can't I do that?
View 3 Replies View RelatedExponential Interpolation For Different Types Of Curves?
Apr 16, 2014interpolating numbers in excel for an exponential function. I want to know how to be able to curve a curve in 4 different ways essentially the 2 that make up the two halves of a peak and the 2 that make up the two halves of a trough. I've tried using the LINEST function to create this interpolation and it's good to get 1 of the 4 curves I'm interested in. how to do the other 3? I'm also interested in knowing if these functions "whip the tail up" as in almost like how the tail end of a "sin" function flips back up. here it is.
[URL]
For this example of the exponential function, it creates the curve in one particular direction. I was wondering how I would do it to have it curve in another direction, for example I was testing the same function, but going downwards, and also having the tail curve back up (by hump I mean to simulate a gaussian distribution with the tails) how would I do that. seems like I now have part 1 of 4 aspects of the curve. here's the attached file to show what I mean. I want to get the hump going up and then sort of reflected along the y-axis and then similar features if I were to reflect the curves on the x axis. is it possible with the functions in excel?

Nov 24, 2009to calculate how many days of each different leave type have been taken for each Cost Code within an Excel 2003 spreadsheet. What adds to the problem is that the data extracted from our system comes to +/- than 50 000 lines. So doing this manually is out of the question.
I have attached a spreadsheet containing an extract of the information (DATA Tab) to better understand. Under the Summary Tab I have the format in which the information must be presented. For each Cost Code/Department I need to calculate how many e.g. Annual Leave/Sick Leave/Other Leave etc. was processed for each month from January to end of October.
Has anyone dealt with something similar? I would really appreciate any assistance as this problem is way above my Excel skills (not that it’s actually above average in any case... ;-)

Open Different Types Of Files From My Single Macro
May 5, 2009I have the following macro that is linked to a button.
There is also a function that is called to check to see if the file is already open.
These macros & functions work properly.
Basically, the Case statements check the extension of the file to be opened and then calls the correct macro to open that particular file.
I have shown the macro that is called by the Case statement that has the extension .xls . . . Excel
I want to keep these Case statements as I always want Excel files opened in new instances of Excel.
What I need is when the existing case statements do not find an extension that is listed, I want code added to this macro that can open any type of file, such as files with other types of extensions or without extensions.
My son suggested that I should try to get a macro that could open the file using the RUN command found under the Start Button. Sounds good to me.
