When I'm recording a macro it records the range I'm currently doing... example - whatever figure is in Column A I want to multiply by 2 - the result being in Column B. I have figures down to Row 10 in Column A, so the range is A2 - A10. (A1 being a header).
Is there a code I can put in the macro that doesn't set the range to only A2 - A10, and will multiply anything that's found in Column A - except for when the Cell is blank?
I am trying to write a macro which will autofill specific columns. The macro will set the range from the start of my autofill to the end of my autofill as a constant range.
The problem I need to get around is the end of my range can always change each time I run the macro. For instance, the first time I run the macro I may only need to autofill from row 4 to row 15. The next time, I may only need to autofill from row 4 to 23 (because of user updates). How can I make the end of my range not be a constant address but variable?
I have tried various syntaxes but nothing is working for me. I am using XL 2000 so it doesn't have the relative address function in the macro! So here is what I have
I download some data from a commercial real estate site about properties and their owners and process it in Excel. Out of 1,000 records, maybe 20 or so will have the data end up in the wrong fields. This is an artifact of the data source the commercial site uses.
Anyway, what I need to do is to get the data back in the right fields. So, I sort the data to pull together at the top of the sheet all the records with data where it's not supposed to be. So far, so good.
Now from one data download to another the number of records which end up in the sort will be different. And, here's the problem.
I try to record a macro mimicking my selection of the range of the data that needs to be moved. Fine, no problem. And, on the same dataset it works like a charm. But as soon as I put a different dataset into the spreadsheet with a different number of records that need to be corrected the macro fails.
Apparently, this is because the macro has been defined with a certain range of cells selected in the first data set and this same range is used for subsequent datasets with different numbers of errant records.
Basically, what I'm trying to record in a macro is the Shift/Control End and Shift/control arrow commands. But they don't record as such.
1. I need to define a variable range of all the USED cells in a column (starting at row 2 as the row 1 is the header)
2. I need to do this for columns A through to P inclusively (all using the same lastrow reference as that of column A)
3. I need to call the range name by the contents of the header in that column (Row 1)
4. Some of the data in the header row (row 1) contains spaces - can we change this to an underscore for the range name only?
5. Does a range only work for the active worksheet? Because i will have multiple worksheets, all with the exact same information in row 1, but different numbers of rows (and different data as well), but i will need the range defined on each worksheet......
I've found the following code and thought it was it, but it only defines on 1 worksheet, and for some reason only defines ranges for columns 1 and 2. Also it defines the range as A1:A65535 - not the USED range.....
I am trying to write a very basic macro to copy and paste, but when I record the keystrokes, step 4 (see below) seems to be recording absolute cells and not relative (?). At any rate, I can't seem to figure out how to get it to select the text the way I want it to. These are the keystrokes I want:
1. Ctrl-c in the current cell <copy the current cell>
2. DownArrow <move down one cell>
3. Shift(hold)-End-Down <select the blank spaces from here down until the next occupied cell>
4. Shift(hold)-Up <move the selection up one from the bottom to exclude the occupied cell>
5. Ctrl-v <paste>
6. End-Down <move down to the last occupied cell>
I have set the record tool to record "relative" references.
Below is the code that was recorded. It's line 5 that's not working - how do I fix it? What is the command to tell the program to press the shift key and an up arrow?? Such a simple thing, and yet I can't find the answer anywhere! Things sure have gotten complicated since the old Lotus 1-2-3 macro language...
Sub Fill() Selection.Copy ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select ActiveCell.Range("A1:A17").Select ActiveSheet.Paste Selection.End(xlDown).Select End Sub
The message shows me "Can not get the vlookup property of worksheetfunction class" and don't know the reason. The 'plancomm' and 'bonus' is the range name in different worksheets of the same workbook as the rngcell.
I have 2 columns 'C' and 'D' which I want to apply Conditional Formatting to (i.e. colour the background of the cell in column 'D' for the respective row in colum 'C') if they contain different values. I have the following
Sub CellCCondFormatting() Dim j As Long Range("C2").Select j = Range("C2"). CurrentRegion.Rows.Count MsgBox ("1st: " & j) Range("C2:C" & j).FormatConditions.Delete Range("C2:C" & j).FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue, Operator:=xlGreater, _ Formula1:="=D" & j Range("C2:C" & j).FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Range("C2:C" & j).FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue, Operator:=xlLess, _ Formula1:="=D" & j Range("C2:C" & j).FormatConditions(2).Interior.ColorIndex = 4 MsgBox ("2nd pass: " & j) End Sub
It iterates through all rows in my CurrentRegion OK but the Conditional Formatting 'formula' operates on the wrong value in column 'D'. For example, when viewed via menu option Format > Conditional Formatting... row 2 column 'D's Conditional Formatting value is D1714, row 3 column 'D's value is 'D1715' and so on....................
I am working with a large report that needs to be broken out and sent as separate files to recipients for confidentiality purposes. I'd rather not use views/protection since there are many different ways particular people need to see the data, plus it is a very large file and flattening it works to everyone's advantage. My goal is a macro that will copy each tab into separate workbooks, paste special values, and save as each as Cell A1 (or the tab name-same thing). I have tried recording macros and editing (I'm very new to VBA) many times but it's a mess.
Say you define a public range variable called Inputworksheet and you set it to refer to the worksheet called Inputworksheet. You have a separate string variable with the value Inputworksheet. How do you get this string variable value to call/control the range variable Inputworksheet?
I am getting an excel worksheet value from a lookup function that corresponds to the name of a VBA range variable. Once I have this worksheet value, I would like to use the range variable that has the same name as the worksheet value.
I'm fairly new to macro's and VBA, by searching on the internet i've copied and pasted some code together into a macro. But it ends in a Run-time error 91...
The macro opens a target .xls file in a selected folder, performs copy - paste actions from masterfile to targetfile. Than it filters data in the targetfile sheet1 and copy's the results to the various other sheets; saves and closes the targetfile. The next target file in the folder is opened and the actions are repeated in this second target file. For the first target file this works smoothly; but for the second one (of a total of around 100) it does not copy the filter results to the other sheets in this workbook. The error message i get is: "Run-time error 91:Object variable or with block variable not set." When i hit debug it highlights the line "ActiveSheet.Next.Select" which, at least in the first file, seems ok.
When i try to run the code below i get the error message - object variable or with block variable not set-

I found this nice little bit of code for a date range search in column A but it will not work. Apparently i have not set a variable or something.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim startDate As String Dim stopDate As String Dim startRow As Integer Dim stopRow As Integer startDate = InputBox("Enter the Start Date: (dd/mm/yyyy)") If startDate = "" Then End stopDate = InputBox("Enter the Stop Date: (dd/mm/yyyy)") If stopDate = "" Then End startDate = Format(startDate, "dd/mm/yyyy") stopDate = Format(stopDate, "dd/mm/yyyy") startRow = Worksheets("sheet1").Columns("A").Find(startDate, _ LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole).Row stopRow = Worksheets("sheet1").Columns("A").Find(stopDate, _ LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole).Row Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & startRow & ":A" & stopRow).Select
I attempted to modify "macro_1a1ay" to look into the "comments" sheet (column a) for a specific text string. If that text string is found, I have it delete the entire row, then re-sort the page and return to the calling page. It works well as long as it finds something. When it does not find the string (i.e. like now when the page is blank) it gives me the run-time error mentioned above.
I am using a variable named " Totals" as a range type to refference the range in a formula. It works the way I have it.
Dim Totals As Range Set Totals = [U37: AE37]
Now instead of the absolute refference, I would like to change the row refference by an offset of my current row, using a formula with a varriable. The columns stay the same.
I have a named range, called SubjectNamesPastoral on a worksheet called Worksheets("Group to Teacher")
I can't assign the named range to the rngSubjectFamilyRangeOnSubjectUsedSheet variable in vba.
the first two lines of code work fine, the msgbox shows "E100:E105", happy days!
However when I try to assign the same range to the rngSubjectFamilyRangeOnSubjectUsedSheet variable, the debugger runs past the 'Set' line without error, but throws 'error 91' at the second msgbox.
I have been working on part of the code for my spreadsheet and it works fine in the spreadsheet “Databaseform” however when I copied the code to my master spreadsheet “Paul_PartLocDBCombo” it does not work, I get the error:
Method ‘ range’ of object ‘_worksheet’ failed The code is then highlighted in yellow, the code is: Set rng = wksPartsData.Range("a1", Range("a65536").End(xlUp))
Meaning this part is incorrect but I don’t know why? To work it: go to Databaseform and press start. Enter 7mm in the product field and press find all. It will then return all the matching results in the userform. Its this I want to try and achieve on the other spreadsheet when the button find label is pressed.
This is just a simple question but I can't seem to find the answer in any of the hepl files. I want to refer to a range by using a variable but can't get the syntax right.
I am in need of code to sum the above range. But it is different range every day. My company will add the deposit amounts each day from each deposit sheet.
ie: 48000 80000 12000 3000
200 45000 10000
And so on. I have posted an example spreadsheet if needed. (The portion is green is all that needs to be summed but keep in mind it changes amount of rows included changes each day, and the yellow is where the solution goes, but I can easily change that). There are other formulas needed but I have figured those out. I need to run this macro daily just for the last group.
I have a problem of setting a range of row that might expand regularly.
I tried a simple method but...
Code:
' Count the used range row Dim count As Integer Dim usedrow As String count = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.count usedrow = "C" & count ' The items are in A1:A105 Set AllCells = Range("C4:usedrow")
I left my Excel books at home, so I can't even look up the answer, and it's incredibly frustrating, since I know it's something small that I'm missing.
I've got a code that I want to cycle thru 12 ranges, named "Retrieve1" thru "Retrieve12". This is the snippet of code that I'm having the issue with is:
For I = 1 To X NextRange = "Retrieval" & I Range(NextRange).Select Application.Run Macro:="EssMenuRetrieve" Next I
I only made the "NextRange" variable because I originally had "Retrieval" & I in the range select statement and it didn't work.
LR = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("A" & Row.counts & ":" & "D" & Rows.Count).Copy Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A" & LR + 1) And it keeps giving me the error "Object required"
I am trying to copy from A-D and the row is a variable to which row was checkmarked at that time.
I am trying to create a spreadsheet that will predict the quantity of a product sold in a given month based on the number of new clients that month and the frequency with which the existing clients will need that product to be replaced. E.g. Washing Up Liquid is required by every new client and they will need a new one each month. Toilet Cleaner is required by every new client and they will need a new one every 3 months.
I have 'hard coded' the two examples into the formula on the "Non-Variable" sheet. However the Frequency of Replacement is speculation; it may traspire that a bottle of Toilet Cleaner only lasts 2 months, in which case I would have to go into each cell and change the formula to reflect this. I believe Add or SUM Every nth Cell may hold the answer but I am failing to get it to work with my data due to being a novice and not really understanding the formulae used! The second sheet is my attempt.
As you can see, it counts 3 months forward from the first month, not 3 months BACK from the CURRENT month. It also simply doesn't work: Washing Up Liquid should equal 285. Ideally I would like to keep the format of the 1st sheet as this matches the rest of the the workbook (not included).
still trying to figure it out how the logic in VBA works
