Limit Event Code To Range
Sep 28, 2007
I've been using these things called ranges, but I'm not even really sure what they are or how to use them effectively. I want to be able to make the following macro only applicable to the range, of anything below F5,G5 and I5.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("$F:$I")) Is Nothing Then
Target.Font.Name = "Marlett"
If Target = vbNullString Then
Target = "a"
ElseIf Target = "a" Then
Target = "r"
Else
Target = vbNullString
End If
End If
End Sub

I have some code which enables new comments to be added when a user double clicks a cell, but I want to restrict this to a specific range B5:B125. How do I change the code to reflect this, and add the current Date to new comments added. Here is the first section of the code which sets the range etc...
Option Explicit
Public oldRange As Range
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
On Error Resume Next
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Target(1, 1)
oldRange.Comment.Visible = False
With rng
If Not .Comment Is Nothing Then
If .Comment.Visible = False Then
.Comment.Visible = True
Else
.Comment.Visible = False
End If
End If
End With
Set oldRange = Target(1, 1)
End Sub....

I have a sheet with a hierarchy of operating units in a column, with DirectX checkboxes next to each (used a VBA script to auto-create the checkboxes ).
The checkboxes go from D5:D147, so 142 checkboxes. They are named checkbox_D5, checkbox_D6 all the way to 147, so checkbox_[Column]&[Row].
Based on a True/False value in another column to the right (BA or column#53), I am hiding specific rows. Just to give a sense, if a checkbox for a Level 2 hierarchy is clicked, I have some formulas to determine which Level 3 rows will be shown by putting a TRUE in column BA. For sake a speed, I created these to only run for 30 rows per click (that's the most that would ever change on a checkbox click).
I did not know how to do it any cleaner, so I created 142 of these:
Code:
Private Sub CheckBox_D5_Change()
Dim i As Long
For i = 5 To i + 30
[Code]....
It works OK up to checkbox_D23 or 24, but excel seems to reduce the number of rows it goes through for each checkbox below that, with checkbox_D31 down doing nothing. I read somewhere about a 32 form item limit, wonder if I'm hitting that.. Cleaner way to do this vs. 142 instances of checkbox_XX_change() events?

Is there a way to write a Worksheet_SelectionChange (ByVal Target As Range) event in module after creating a sheet in VBA? I constantly delete a sheet, then repopulate it with a new one that is empty, but I need to add some code that happens if they should change a particular cell. It worked when I ran it on a worksheet without refreshing, but as soon as I cleared and repopulated the sheet, it was gone. Is there a way to preserve this?

I have a function which will allow me to search for combination of numbers which will sum to zero. However, because the range could be as long as 300 rows or even the possibility of not finding the combination that will sum to zero, the macro will take ages to complete or even causes the whole excel to hang. So What i want is to instruct macro to stop doing the search if it cannot find the results after say 20 minutes of searching.
Is that possible?

I have a worksheet that serves as a navigation page for the workbook and use the following code to restrict from scrolling off the viewable content. The problem is that the code doesn't kick in until either a click if the mouse or keyboard input. This initially leaves the worksheet open for scrolling until input is received.
How do I make this code activate when the wb is loaded? Code in the Thisworkbook module already makes the menu the visible sheet, and code limiting the scroll area is in the sheet module.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
With ActiveSheet
.ScrollArea = "A1:L11"
End With
Range("A1").Activate
End Sub
I've also tried using "Range("A1").Select", but it doesn't work either. How can I get this to work correctly?

I am currently writing some VBA code to loop through and copy data from Excel file in sub folders into a master sheet of data. There are some 1200 Excel files (these are pre-2007 files), each containing a maximum of 600 lines of data. So far the code works until it gets to around 65000 rows (the old Excel limit). I am using and writing the code in a Macro-Enabled Excel 2007 file.
I am using a Range.Offset call, which is where the error is occurring, to copy in a name basically. What happened right before this was a Range.Copy operation from the old Excel file to a Range.PastSpecial in the new one. This worked fine, and actually went a few hundred rows past the pre-Excel 2007 limit. But when the single cell operation Range.Offset().Value is called next, it crashes with a Application or User-Defined error. The code works some 100+ times through the loop with no problem, and the file that it was working on is no different then the other files.

Is there a limit to how many selections you can include in a named range?
I have a worksheet that is split into several sections using merged cells accross rows. I would like to name most of the cells in a column so i can loop through them, but i can not include the merged cells that cross over it.
If my range is in Column C, it looks something like C2:C5, C7:10, C12:C20 (where C6 and C11 are part of a merged cell). When i name the range, it shortens the selected area.
Is there a limit? Is there another option to naming this very long range?

I am trying to define/name a range in vba. The range will always start in the same place, but as more information is appended to the data set it comes from, the more (or less) rows it can populate. I want to limit the length of the range because I am using it in a data validation drop down list and i do not want to see all of the blanks at the bottom of the list.
Checking the "Ignoe blanck cells" box in data validation did not make the spaces disappear, probably because there is data in an adjscent column that goes much further down the worksheet.
My current vba is:
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Date", RefersToR1C1:= _
"=Input!R4C4:R65536C4"
I want it to be the range that would highlight if I placed my cursor in R4C4 and hit Ctrl+shift+Down Arrow

All of a sudden, deleting an entire row has become a calculation too complicated for Excel to calculate. It seems the RANGE of even a single row exceeds 33,000 cells - and therefore I get a warning that this could take a long time. Ignoring this warning does no good - Excel then tells me it couldn't do it. "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data and or close other applications."
In another seemingly related problem, I used a macro to automatically extend my formulas down 15,000 rows. I had hoped that I'd never have to drag down formulas again. But instead, this action created a much larger range of cells Excel now seems to consider "active." That means I can no longer use my scroll wheel, for example, to navigate my 300-row spreadsheet, because the scroll wheel seems to move the cursor up and down as a percentage of the total document length - a length now 15,000 rows long - and whatever percentage of that length each click of the scroll wheel was supposed to cover is now too miniscule to notice.
How do I make this spreadsheet "small" again?
And am I right in believing I should just convert the thing to a table?

I need to to use VBA to copy a worksheet (which i've managed to do!), but I need the new worksheet to have a Worksheet_Change event. Now when I copy the worksheet, the event doesn't copy over (obviously as its a cut and paste jobby). Any ideas on what code I need to add in the Worksheet_Change event just after the new worksheet is automatically created?

I have seen many examples posted here that are close to what I need, but I am not experienced at writing code, so I am not sure how to make the changes to this code that apply to what I need. So I will try to explain what I am looking for & hopefully not be too long winded:
I have an excel workbook that has several worksheets within it - 10 of the worksheets are identical as far as the formulas that are in each of the cells, however, they are all VLOOKUP cells that refer to another excel workbook (used as a "database")which lists all of our projects - there is a cell in each of the 10 sheets that can be changed that will allow that particular worksheet to access the information in the "database worksheet" for the particular project name that is entered in this cell.
There is currently an event worksheet code for each of these worksheets which allows for a picture to be displayed "floating" above cell (L13) based on the project name that is showing in this cell- however it is based on all of the project pictures "living" in each worksheet (the picture that is called up by the project name is displayed while the rest are hidden - as per the formula)- the code is shown below:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim oPic As Picture
Me.Pictures.Visible = False
With Range("L13")
For Each oPic In Me.Pictures
If oPic.Name = .Text Then
oPic.Visible = True
oPic.Top = .Top
oPic.Left = .Left
Exit For
End If
Next oPic
End With
End Sub
However - this option works fine when there are 5 or 10 pictures/projects - but we are looking to grow our project database. So, I was hoping to be able to store the pictures in another location (such as another worksheet or in a file on the server - I would also appreciate input if anyone has an opinion on which would work better?) and have some type of worksheet event code that can be written in to each worksheet that would access the picture in this "central" location and have them appear in cell (L13) of each worksheet based on the project name displayed.

I have 2 worksheets ('pathways', 'pathway events').
'pathways' has unique rows with a unique ID i.e. [Pathway ID] whilst 'pathway events' has the same initial column [Pathway ID] but with multiple values of the same [Pathway ID] value.
If an [Pathway ID] value is selected in 'pathways', I want it to trigger some code which will open a new worksheet and copy the multiple rows in 'pathway events' with the same [Pathway ID] value and paste them into the new worksheet.
Is this possible to do in Excel. I normally use Access and you can have triggered events.

In a Userform, is there a way to run code that's listed under another UserForm event subroutine?
Example:
I have a Listbox and several Labels. When I click on a selection in the listbox, it populates the labels with various data from a spreadsheet. This code is in a "list_AfterUpdate()" subroutine.
If I change a piece of data and click a CommandButton1, I would like the labels to automatically update.
The only way I can think to do that (at present) is to run the code listed in the "list_AfterUpdate()" subroutine.
Is there a way to run that code without duplicating it in the "CommandButton1_Click" subroutine?

I'm having trouble copying a macro to a newly created sheet. I do like this:
ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("Kopier1").Export filNavn
For Each kopSheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Left(kopSheet. Name, 8) = "Inddata-" Then
kopSheet.Copy
ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & kopSheet.Name
ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("Kopier1").Export filNavn
Workbooks(kopSheet.Name & ".xls").VBProject.VBComponents. Import filNavn
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End If
Next kopSheet
I copy 6 sheets, named "Inddata-*", and i wan't to copy a module named "Kopier1" with it. I know that i can use an add-in, but that is unfortunately not a good idea in this project. It does export the module "Kopier1", but, it doesn't import it to the newly created workbook!

I am currently using the simple code block below to jump to a cell on another sheet based on a user-inputted value to a cell on the current sheet. Although jump is too strong a word at the moment...walk slowly might be more appropriate.
The problem is that the sheet that contains the target cell hosts a very sizable used range and the FIND function can sometimes take almost a minute before finding and focussing on the required cell.
While I do not believe that a search range below that of sheet level for the FIND() function is possible, the cell that I am looking to jump to resides in a one-column, sorted, dynamic named range (=Bookings!JobID) on the target sheet, so I am sure that it must be possible to find and go the target cell in a much quicker timeframe than that being delivered at the moment. Just can't find something suitable at the moment.

How do I disable a range of cells when a numerical limit is reached?
Here is the scenario:
I have two worksheets, one called “Items” which contains a list of Items and their weight. The other sheet is called “Container” and displays a Type of container in cell B2, the weight capacity of that container (the numerical limit) in cell C2, and a range from B5 to B14 that needs to be filled out by an end user. The items in B2:B14 are chosen using Validation, form the Items sheet. The weight is brought in via a vLookup, and the total weight is calculated as items are added.
My problem is that I have yet to find a way to “disable” any extra cells in B5:B14 once the weight limit is reached, and clear the last cell data was selected for, all without destroying the Validation for the cells in range B5:B14.
I have tried many different things in the Worksheet Change Event, but none have yielded the desired result.
