Making Named Range The Last Active Value Used Within Another Named Range?
Jul 19, 2013
I'm trying to make my named ranges remember the values of the last active cells used within another named range. The purpose of this is to make my charts dynamically change dependant on two criteria selected. My spreadsheet currently updates itself as and when I change the active cell within a single named range, dynamically changing the chart data by using Lookup based on the active cells value. However I want to get away from having several charts showing, I would like to have a single chart which dynamically changes based on a second selection. So the first selection is for a department (Facility) which changes the chart data relevant to that department, the second selection is to dynamically change the chart shown for the pre selected department.

Using the following code when updating just one criteria with several charts
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(ActiveCell, [MeasureType]) Is Nothing Then
[valMeasurePicked] = ActiveCell.Value [code].....
which works fine but I'm not sure how to add a second selection criteria because my code uses Activecell. I thought that the VBA needed to set the last used value of a range as a variable and therefore allow the second criteria to be selected but am not sure how to put it into practice.
is there a way to have the same named range cover a range of cells regardless of which sheet you are on? They seem to want to default to the page you are on. I want to make some VBA subroutines that will go over each sheet, and perform the same functions on each sheet. All sheets have the same format, but different data. I guess worst case scenario I can just break down and use multiple workbooks, but this seems a little less desirable. Should I be dividing this into seperate posts?
Let's say you have a named range, Rng1, which consists of cells A1 & A2. In vba how would you report back what, if any, named range the following cells resides:
Code] .....
here are multiple named ranges so using intersect is not feasible. Essentially, through code, I will be given a range and I need to determine if that range if part of a named range.
I need to create a named range on multiple sheets with the same named range & i cant figure out how to do this. EG :- I want to create a named range called "_SubUnitRows" on sheet1 starting from "A1:A50" & other named range again called "_SubUnitRows" on Sheet2 starting from "A1:A25" ...
if I can use a named criteria as well as a named range. In essence what I am looking to do is count certain cells that meet the criteria in a certain named named range,
I would like to combine List1 and List2 into a 3rd named range called List3. I was wondering if this were possible without using any additional cells/columns (i.e. I don't want to use Column C like in the example shown in the link above).
I have read post re this question but have not been able to answer my problem. I get the error message 'Application defined or object defined error' when running the code below. I should indicate the range counter currently indicated about 6,200 rows that this code will work on and the individual range names in the list of 6,200 rows are spread over at least 20 worksheets.
The code appears to be running but after some time it stops on the line of code 'Range(Cells(i, 1).Value) = Cells(i, 2)'.
Sub PopulateWithImportData() Dim counter As Integer counter = Sheets("Imported Data").Range("Counter")
I need method, using a button, that looks at a cell--say EO2, for example--, looks back on a master worksheet at a specified row and range for a match, then looks at the information from a specified range below the matching cell (The information in this column will either be blank or have an "X" in the cell), and then those rows that do not have an "X" will be hidden in the corresponding rows in the working worksheet. Therefore, if at any time the value in "EO2" ever changes, then it will automatically find a new match and repopulate and hide information as before. About 130 columns will have its own button so that a "query" can be made that depends on the information in a particular cell in that column.
The master worksheet now has matrix of 287 rows and 58 columns. Each row is for an operating procedure and each column shows a job code. An "X" in a coordinate cell for a column/row shows whether that job code is responsible for knowing that operating procedure. So, on the working sheet, an employee's primary job code is given underneath his or her name. When the button is pushed, all the operating procedures not required for a given person will be hidden and only the required ones will remain visible--grouped, if you will. Qualification dates will be easier to see now that the information is consolidated. Whenever someone transfers to a new position, a new code will be inputed on the working sheet. When the button is pushed, a new grouping will result. Any operating instructions that overlap will still have qualification dates, so that information will not need to be transcribed.
I am trying to calculate some averages. What I have is 3 columns of data in A, B, C, also the "tasks" in A are in named ranges ex: "Award Contract" is a named range - "Task_Award" and "Confirm Updates" is a named range - "Task_Updates". I've attached a sample excel sheet.
I'd like to be able to create a macro to evaluate column A, and for every row in range "Task_Award", give me the average of the corresponding cells in column C and put it in the same range of cells in column B , then, for every row in "Task_Confirm" then give me the average of the same range of cells in column C and place the result in the same range of cells in column B. This is my very first post so I hope I am doing this correctly. I have 77 of these task ranges to evaluate and it will take a long time to do it manually. I'm thinking of a loop function.
I have a column of data that keeps getting new information in it. what i need is a named range that i can use for a chart, first point in the named range will be the first value in the column, second point will be avg. of point 1 and 2, then 3rd point will be avg. of 1,2,3 etc.
I have a named range that expands and contracts based upon the amount of data that is in some column. Call it AllData_UsedRange.
I have another named range that actually refers to a range. Call it AllData.
Column A Row2 56 Row3 44 Row4 65
AllData is a named range that refers to the range A2:A65536 AllData_UsedRange refers to A2:A4 by way of this formula. =OFFSET(AllData,0,0,COUNTA(AllData))
How to I obtain an address of AllData_UsedRange in VBA code?
These do not work... ThisWorkbook.Names("AllData_UsedRange").RefersToRange.Address Evaluate(ThisWorkbook.Names("AllData_UsedRange"))
I am trying to create a graph for a range of data that updates monthly (adding an extra month each time). I wanted the graph source data to update automatically each time the data is refreshed so used an OFFSET formula to identify a named range. I then point the graph to the named range as the source data.
When I enter the range as the source data the graph picks it up. However, when I re-enter the source data option on the graph it has converted the named range into a cell written range (ie. replaces "=QUALITY" with "='Front page'!$B$7:$J$10" - which therefore will not update when the range increases.
I know that I can return the value of a defined name range, the address, and even the value of the define name, but if you are given a range address, how do you find its corresponding defined name in code?
My searches have not produced anything that I could apply to this situation.
I'm trying to write VBA that would:
1. Search a Workbook for Dynamic Ranges.
2. When a Dynamic Range is found the code would:
A. Determine the current coordinates for the range. B. Change the "Refers To" value From "=OFFSET...." To "=Worksheet_Name $Column$Row:$Column$Row"
3. Save Changes.
4. Close File.
My apologies but I have very little experience in writing VBA. I understand about variables, arguments, and IF/THEN but just enough to use functions within Excel.
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.
OK, I have a huge SS with lots of named ranges. Many of which are dynamically assigned lists.
All of the existing ones work fine, but when try to add a new named range, it returns the cells from a previously named range. (Always the same old one.)
example:
A range (one of many) is named "Shift_List" and is defined using =OFFSET(info!$C$3, 0, 0, COUNTA(info!$C$3:$C$2000),1)
New range is created named "PN_List" and is defines using =OFFSET(info!AA$3, 0, 0, COUNTA(info!AA$3:AA$2000),1)
When I create a Data Validation List or otherwise use "Shift_List" as the source it works fine.
However if I do the same thing and refer to "PN_List", it returns the items from "Shift_List"
Any new named range returns the Shift_List cells, although older ones still work correctly.
Line of code that will Select a Named Range in this case I have Named a CELL "DataSummary" Need to use that named range by selecting 30 columns and 54 rows.
how to use SUM Formula a column from within a Named Ranges or Dynamic Named Range? For example, if the range name "MyData" refers to the address: A1:G10, how could I sum all the numbers in column G of that range where column A meets certain criteria.
Eg., Column A holds fruit names: Apple Orange Banana Apple
and column G holds quantities of the particular fruit. I'd like to sum column G (quantity) for only those quantities that match "Apple" in column A.
I'll attach an example.. I just can't seem to figure out how to update the range if I have already named it something using the Name Box to the left of the Formula bar.
I am trying to check whether a cell is part of a named range. I have a 4*2 range named "kompleks" and wants to check whether the selected cell i part of that named range. I've searched google and this forum, but nothing will work. I've tried
If Target.Name = Range("kompleks") Then If Target.Name = kompleks Then
And also
If Target.Name.Name = Range("kompleks") Then
It is used as a private sub for the worksheet_change.
In the following code I am able to use the Range "J46" successfully but I have tried to refer to a named variable/range that has the same info as J46 (LongestGL) and then it gives the error that you see below the code.
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate() If Range("J46").Value > 36 Then msgbox "The combination of Width, Height, and Pitch that you have entered results in at least one post length that is more than 36 feet long. You will need to juggle these parameters until you no longer get this message.", vbExclamation
End Sub Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate() If Range("LongestGL").Value > 36 Then msgbox "The combination of Width, Height, and Pitch that you have entered results in at least one post length that is more than 36 feet long. You will need to juggle these parameters until you no longer get this message.", vbExclamation
End Sub Error Message:
Runtime error '1004' Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' Failed
The only thing changed was the Reference "J46" to "LongestGL".
I have a worksheet named range, reghoursworked, with the value of 8. What is the vba code to return this value? y=range("reghoursworked").value??? (works with other named ranges)
I have a named range (name is IncidentList, the actual range is A5:H500) that I'm trying to find the last used row in, then apply a border to the left and right of the row (eg: apply a border to the left of A1 and the right of H1). Normally I would just find the last used cell in column A, apply a border to the left, then find the last used cell in column H and apply a border to the right. The difficulty I'm having is that column H will not always have a value, so selecting the last used cell in column H may not necessarily take me to the last cell within the range I've tried something like:
