Am I right to say that "Call" is not mandatory and should be used only to invoke subroutines that do not return a value?
If you use the keyword "Call" to invoke a subroutine that does return something, the returned variable will be discarded.
I'm trying to put some visual basic out on the network drive at work so I created a book and called it Macro.xls. I then saved the code within that book and saved it out on my network. I'm now trying to run that code by calling the sub and don't know how to do that.

I know this problem has been answered before, but my browser is giving me hell when I try to use the search function, so here I am clogging up the post forum.
I would like to be able to access one of the subroutine functions built into the Analyis Toolpack add-in. Using the macro-recorder, here's what I came up with:
Application.Run "ATPVBAEN.XLA!Random", ActiveSheet.Range("$F$23"), 1, _
15600, 7, , ActiveSheet.Range("$A$3:$B$12")
I get a run-time error 1004 when executing stating that "ATPVBAEN.XLA Could Not Be Found". I'm sure this has to do with they improper way in which I'm trying to call this function.
I'm looking to identify a keyword in a string and then replace that string with just the keyword.
The string is a product description. The keyword is a product group. The keyword can showup in any position in the string.

Trying to copy records from one spreadsheet to multiple spreadsheets located in different directorates. Although I can create multiple Macros to address the need, I want to use ONE MACRO that utilizes two variables to represent:
1) The targeted file directory
2) The targeted file name
Items 1) and 2) are stated in two cells within the main spreadsheet and as you can already imagine, these values change IAW the name of the target file.
This is what I am trying to do:
File cell A1 = "C:ORLOAcquisition"
File cell A2 = "target.xlsx"
Basically replacing the code below
ChDir "C:ORLOAcquisition"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= "C:ORLOAcquisition arget.xlsx" , UpdateLinks:=3
with, ChDir ""A1"" Workbooks.Open Filename:= ""A2"" , UpdateLinks:=3
I was able to do it with target-spreadsheets located under the same workbook but my code does not work when trying to activate workbooks located in other directorates in the network.
I've developed a fairly simple procedure which lets me reformat cell backgrounds in a worksheet after various cut/paste operations.I've created a template called BASIC.XLTM which has this code in it. I've added a button to the QAT to enable me to invoke the procedure, but when I click the button to do the reformat, it works for the active sheet, but it also invokes another instance of BASIC.XLTM.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a work book with 3 sheets. Sheet 1 is the main sheet and sheets 2 and 3 will use (I hope vlookup) to update 3 columns from info in sheet 1. my attempt at a vlookup call in sheet 2 is: =VLOOKUP($b3,[master_AoJ_2.xls]Sheet1!$B$3;$B$65,false)
my understanding is that: - $b3 is the cell in sheet 2 that will be updated as a result of the vlookup call. - [master_AoJ_2.xls]Sheet1!$B$3;$B$65 refers to range $B$3:$B$65 on sheet1 of master_AoJ_2. it does not work... infact I get nothing at all. when I type the call into cell $b3 of sheet2 excel thinks it is stariaght text. this is how I coded the function call =VLOOKUP($b3,[master_AoJ_2.xls]Sheet1!$B$3;$B$65,false)
VBA jumps out of my called subroutine which is stored in a Module halfway.
When I call the SortLec() sub, it runs until y1 = Application.Match(MC & "-" & CI, rng, 0), and then it just jumps back to the SUB commandbutton1_click() IF statement. Why is it that VBA skips the rest of the code from my sub?

in writing a subroutine that needs to ask the user
1) tax file number
2) Income
3) tax withheld
It then needs to use a function that i already made called 'incometax' that calculates 'taxpayable' and use that to calculate taxreturn (difference between 'taxpayable' and 'taxwithheld').
I then need it to output like this in a message box
Estimate for tax file number: .....

Is calling a subroutine within another different than running it from the play button in the VB editor? I am getting different results.
I have the following code that I want to call from another subroutine that creates a series of command buttons.

My code defines a variable: newrow. Then I call a subroutine using the Call command.
The subroutine does not recognize newrow.
It says it has value zero. How can I pass the value of newrow on to the subroutine.
I have 60 checkboxes on my spreadsheet and basically, when any of the checkboxes are clicked on, the same action should be performed.
The only way I know how to do this is if I were to write the same code 60 times... one for each checkbox_click() method.
1. Can a Subroutine be called from within a user-defined Public Function? How?
2. Is there a difference between calling a subroutine with a 'Call Sub_Name' statement, vs. calling the subroutine with an 'Application.Run'(?? or similar) statement?
I have a short subroutine to delete a row in a second worksheet (SUMMARY EXPENSES) if one is deleted in the main worksheet (AS CODES) as per below:
[Code] .......
In theory the row deletion should only be triggered IF dynamiccounter is smaller than staticcounter, but the fact is anything whatsoever triggers the row deletion. If I type text into a cell a row gets deleted. If I copy a cell, a row gets deleted. It works great at deleting the line, but I suspect it has nothing to do with the counters I set up and the reassigning of the counter value towards the end of the If statement.
I have a small sub routine below I would like to make a slight modification to. The routine currently references formatting relative to the Offset statement in bold below.

I have two subroutines. One subroutine updates some figures on spreadsheet 1, and then calls a subroutine that updates some figures on spreadsheet 2. Spreadsheet 2 is supposed to save and close, and return to spreadsheet 1, but it only gets as far as opening spreadsheet 2 and updating the figures. These are the two subroutines:

Sub UpdateLegalAndMeans()

In these lines of code I am adding hyperlinks to cells in a row. It shows my steps recorded but since there are some 4,000 cells I need a macro to do it automagically. The target cells are in sequential worksheets but in each case follow the sane pattern (i.e. P2, H3, X3, D4, etc.). Could I capture this routine for each sheet by the sub for each? If so how?
Range("B2").Select
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, address:="", SubAddress:= _
"'Max tree base'!P2", TextToDisplay:="'Max tree base'!P2"

I've ran into a problem with one of my workbooks which appears to only affect Excel 2007. It works fine in Excel 2003.
Basically I am calling a sub routine contained in a module from worksheet code. The sub is Public in the module and I use the following code to call the sub.. The code Errors immediately here -
Private Sub mybutton_Click()
Worksheet Code -
Private Sub mybutton_Click()
mysub
End Sub
Module Code -
Public Sub mysub()
...my code
End Sub
This works fine in Excel 2003?! Is there a different way to call the sub with Excel 2007

I have a question. Can this be done. Pass a couple of varibles back from a called sub routine?
The calling sub calls the called sub does which has code plus a couple of varibles needing to come back.
Scope: The called sub is a series of case statements with code and sets varibles which are needed back in the calling sub.
I'm having trouble calling a subroutine from a command button. It's puzzling because I've set up buttons before and didn't have this trouble.
Here is my button
Private Sub EPConversionButton1_Click(ByVal target As Range)
Convert_Hrs_EP target
End Sub
And here is the subroutine.
Sub Convert_Hrs_EP(target As Range)
End Sub
There's nothing there yet, but I keep getting error messages regarding the transfer from the button code to the subroutine.
The message is: Procedure declaration does not match description of event or procedure having the same name. The Help file says this means that my procedure has the same name as an event, but does not have the same signature. But it's not so.
