Limit Macro Function To One Sheet?
Apr 21, 2012
I have a check box on a worksheet that when checked calls for a timer code from a module. This works fine however what I am finding is that the code in the module is applying the result all the sheets in the workbook not just the sheet where I have activated the check box. I am a novice at VBA and no doubt there will be a simple solution. How do I limit this to my active sheet. This is the code in the module
Code:
Public Sub Watch1()
If Sheet2.CheckBox1 = True Then
Range("AH2") = Range("AH2") + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1)
[Code]....

I'm comfortable with the IF statements in excel and not familir with many of the other functions available to me. I am trying to create a character calulator for Elder Scrolls III (Marrowind). So that a person may enter their race, ***, and other choices and their by calculating all starting stats. There are 10 races you can choose from and I can cover 9 of them with the if function (leaving one as if all other options are false). I would like to know if there is a better way such as a drop down list or some way to search an array or anything that would be better suited to search the race cell and return data if it's true. I'm running into the same probably with choosing the constalation (13 choices in this catagory).
I thought to split it two different data fields, by letting you choose from 4 in one cell and the other 9 in a different cell, but realized I don't know how to make it check two different cells for a choice to return it to the display cell without hitting the limitation of the 7 nested funcations in a forumla again.

What I'm trying to do is get the MAX function to return a value, but that value needs to come before the values reach zero. It's a cubic equation that basically starts, at the beginning of the data range, under 10 then hits zero and ends up near 30 at the end of the data range. The end data range max doesn't matter to me if the data range hits zero along the way. Is there any way to make the MAX function stop at a certain value, or is there another function that could accomplish what I'm trying to do?

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.

I have a spreadsheet with 2 sheets. The first just links to another file and pulls in the contents of a particular sheet, cell for cell. The second sheet is a formatted report that I'm creating to put that data into a different format for presenting to others. I'm using the Index and Match function along with range names. All is fine except where the string that should be returned is very long. When that happens, I get "######" all the way across the cell. It doesn't matter how wide I make the column or how tall I make the row, the "#s" do not go away. Is there a limit on the number of characters the Index function can return?

I'm using the prob() function, and it works for no more than 61 random numbers. Does anyone know of a limit on the number of random numbers used in the function, and whether it's possible to use more numbers in the function? My formula is:
=PROB($C$11:$C$71,$L$11:$L$71,G11,H11)

I am having mucho problems because of Excel's 255 character limit when copying an entire spreadsheet to a new workbook.
In a nutshell, I copy a "data entry" page onto a “report” page within a workbook. The entire “report” page is then copied and moved into a new workbook. That allows me to have a stand alone, exported file outside of my main data entry tool. When you copy an entire page to a new workbook, Excel imposes a 255 character limit. Thus, I see truncated responses on the exported spreadsheet only.

I have some code that checks to see if a file exists on the network. Works great (super fast result) if the file is accessible. Works ok (2-3 seconds) if the file is on the other side of a vpn. Works sloe (5-15 seconds) if the file is there on a vpn network and I'm using a wireless computer (wireless adding extra lag). And finally; really slow because the wifi connection is slow or some what out of range ...... I want my code for checking the existence of this file to stop after a specified amount of time.
Code:
Sub AreWeLive()

I poked around and found a macro to highlight the active cell, but I want to limit it to be active only for range A1:A37. Any ideas? I put in the Set OldCell = Range("A1:A37"), but all it does is turn every cell you pick blue and it stays that way, so I'm not sure how to limit it.
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Static OldCell As Range
Set OldCell = Range("a1:a37")
If Not OldCell Is Nothing Then
OldCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
End If
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 8
Set OldCell = Target
End Sub

I have a macro which checks a column for a name, and any instances of those names it finds it copies and pastes into a new spreadsheet which it saves to a path of my choosing and closes it, then moves onto the next one. However, my macro is stopping halfway through my sheet and one of the lines of code is being highlighted as an error by the debugger - even though the same line has just worked for the last 60 instances or so.
is there a limit to how many times I can loop a macro?

I am working in a macro that will do some calculations and I would like to end it by plotting the results in some charts. Results are in one dimension array form, with probably more than 1000 elements. Can anybody tell me if there is any limit for the arrays that are going to be asigned to the XValues and Values of the chart?

I often have macros that hide columns. Seems there is a limit to the number of time or columns that can be hidden before you get a debug. Message.

EXAMPLE: Complete Sheet called "Day1". When day1 is complete you click on button and it then copies itself and creates and renames new sheet to "Day2", then when "Day2" is complete you click on button and it then copies itself and creates and renames new sheet to "Day3", and so on and so forth to "Day30".

I'm trying to write a function for one of my reports that would perform a boolean function to see whether or not a cell's value is on another sheet in the workbook. Pretty much (If it's on that sheet, Yes, if not, see if it's on this sheet). Here's what I have so far
Code:
Public Function ISTHERE(CUSIP As String) As Boolean
If Sheet4.Columns("B").Find(CUSIP, LookIn:=xlFormulas, Lookat:=xlWhole) Is Nothing Then
If Sheet5.Columns("B").Find(CUSIP, LookIn:=xlFormulas, Lookat:=xlWhole) Is Nothing Then
ISTHERE = False
Else
[code].....
I would use the function like this in the spreadsheet:
=if(ISTHERE(A2)=TRUE,"Yes","No")
I get yes everytime. What am I doing wrong? Or am I even visualizing the answer correctly?

I am using Excel 2010 and I have a password protected workbook with password protected sheets that uses several macros. Most of them, in order to run, have to un-protect the sheet and then re-protect it again. This has been accomplished easily enough by adding ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:= "mypassword" and ActiveSheet.Protect Password:= "mypassword" to the appropriate places in the script. All of my macros, which do various things like sorting and moving data, deleting blank rows, displaying dialog boxes containing warning messages etc. run fine.
My problem is this: when I password protect the sheets manually, I have checked the following options in the "Protect Sheet" dialog box. Under "Allow users of this worksheet to" I have checked 1)Select unlocked cells and 2)Format cells. After entering my password and closing the dialog box my sheet is protected, but I can edit cells in the manner my allowances permit. However, once I run any of the macros that un-protect and re-protect the sheet, I remain able to select and edit unlocked cells (practically, for my purposes, this means that I can input data which will appear in the default font size and color of the sheet) but I cannot format cells (which, practically, for my purposes would allow me to occasionally change the font color and size of the data). Naturally, after running a macro, the other cell-formatting options are unavailable to me as well. Is there any way to get my manual selections to remain in place after running a macro that functions as mine do? Or is there any way to make my manual selections the default settings for a protected sheet?

I have a the following function: =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(SUMPRODUCT((F35:G45=K40)*ROW(F35:G45))-21,SUMPRODUCT((F35:G45=K40)*COLUMN(F35:G45))))
I'm trying to put the get the value of it from a different Sheet.
say this function is in Sheet1 and I wish to place the equation in Sheet3 - what should I change? I tried INDIRECT(ADDRESS(SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!F35:G45=K40)...
nothing works.
what the function does? there are 2 tables. table 1 has values and table 2 has values as well. K40 is the user input --it reflects the number in table2 and the return value is the 'reference' in table1. for example, if table2 in F41 has the number 54 and the reference for it in table1 is $344, when the user types 54 in K40 the returned result in the function will be $344

I'd like to compare values from different sheets. My sheets contain data from different years. I have sheets named 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003.... I also have a sheet named "compare". Now I'm using functions like: =('2008'!J13/'2007'!J13)-1
which gives me the relative change between years 2007 - 2008 in the cell J13.
I'd like to use the sheet name as variable. For example: "year 1" is given in cell A1 and "year 2" given in cell A2. Then I could enter (for example) 2007 in cell A1 and 2008 in cell A2. How can I use these cell values in the function? I’ve tried something like: =('A2'!J13/'A1'!J13)-1. I assumed that 'A2'!J13 would be the same as '2008'!J13. It didn’t take me long to figure out that doesn’t work. What would be the right way to do this?

I'm trying to use the value of a cell as the sheet name in the array range for my index function, pointing to data on a different sheet. Here is the formula I have now, which points directly to the other sheet (and works fine):
=INDEX('SheetName'!A4:BE189,MATCH(A87,'SheetName'!A4:A189,0)+36,54)
This formula takes the value in cell A87 and looks for it on the sheet called "SheetName", then returns the value in a cell down 36 cells and across 54 cells. This is perfect as is.
I want to be able to have it look something like this:
=INDEX('CellValue where CellValue=sheetname'!A4:BE189,MATCH(A87,''CellValue where CellValue=sheetname'!A4:A189,0)+36,54). I have tried using the INDIRECT function here to get it to read just the sheetname, but cannot seem to get it to work.

I need to create a macro that will scan a spreadsheet for the number of sheets and then pull data from the same places on each sheet in order to create a summary sheet. Let me try to explain a little better.
The spreadsheet I'm working with has a separate sheet for each new deal our company makes. Each of these sheets is in the same format - we use a template and fill in the data based on that whenever a new deal emerges. The sheets contain basic info about the deal in the first few rows and columns, then some narratives with dates describing the progress of the deal, and then a list of issues and whether or not they have been resolved. The problem is, each of these sheets contains too much info for a quick, high-level overview with the bosses so they've asked me to create something that will pull the basic info, the most recent narrative, and any unresolved issues from each sheet. This way, each time there's an overview scheduled with the bosses, the macro can be run and it will create a new sheet with data from each sheet in the workbook.

However, when I run this macro it doesn't seem to like the second line where I am renaming the sheet (run time error '1004').
"O4" =DATE(YEAR($B$3),MONTH($B$3)+1,DAY($B$3))
Sub NewMonth()
ActiveSheet.Copy Before:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = Range("O4").Value
