Making Variable Selection From Cells
Oct 13, 2011I have a question about making a variable selection.
In cell X25 is written "B9" and in cell Y25 is written "M39".
Now i want to make a selection by a macro from cell B9 to cell M39.

Making A Constant And A Variable In 2007
Nov 18, 2008assume we have constant P = 100, K=50 and F=10.
I would like to "lock" these cells, and have a variable which could adjust and this variable would multiplicate each one and put out the number.
For example:
P = 100
K = 50
F = 10
Variable: 10 this would generate a sum of:
P = 1000
K = 50
F = 10

View 6 Replies View RelatedMaking / Defining Workbook As Variable In VBA Macro?
May 7, 2014In my VBA macro, it copies data from this.workbook, and paste to another "destination" workbook. That destination workbook must be opened first before the macro is run.
Within the Macro code, I had to specify the exact name of the workbook which the data is pasted to.
The problem is that the exact name of that workbook which it paste to changes every week.
Is there any method where my macro can be changed and updated with the name of the destination workbook each week without manually opening and editing the code. The user of this.workbook is not technical enough to edit and maintain the macro each week
Making A Table Array In A VLOOKUP Variable
Jul 27, 2006I have a spreadsheet where there are multiple records for each person. Each subsequent record contains information about one year prior to the one above it. So the first records contains info for 2005, the next 2004 and so on. I have the following formula in a cell in sheet 1: VLOOKUP($A2,'Sheet1 (2)'!$A$1:'Sheet1 (2)'!$DD$8796,11,FALSE)
I want to copy the VLOOKUP formula to the cell next to my original cell and have it begin searching on the first row after the first record and continue for each cell to the right. For example, if the lookup in my first cell (say A1) find the result on row 20, I want the lookup formula in B1 to start with row 21. So the change on the formula above would have to change the $A$1 above to $a$row below the first row found. I have a formula which tells me about the first instance of the vlookup finding the first row with the unique identifier.
Range Selection With Variable
Jan 27, 2010I am using Selection.ClearContents command to clear data from column F and G. I know the last row as 230 but the starting row is the first empty cell which I find using Do While loop in range F31 to F230. The variable that stores the first empty cell number is 'r'.
Range("F &r:G230").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Variable For Row / Column Selection
Sep 13, 2007I need to create a macro that clears the contents of a range of cells. However, that range of cells is variable.
I know my starting cell (C9) and I know the selection goes over to column Z every time but the number of rows I want to clear after that may change.
Also, whatever that first cleared range is, I would need to skip the row below it then clear the same number of rows below that. (not entire row of course, just the ones from column C to column Z)
Variable Selection Delete
Apr 5, 2007I have a macro that prints out schedule information for my production lines. I recorded the macro and made a few changes. What it does is print out the page header, delete about a dozen lines and then print the remainder of the schedule. Often the the remainder of the schedule is not all relevant data as production has completed orders. What i want to do is, using an input box, ask the user what worksheet row he wants the body of the schedule to start printing from. Here is what i have now.
Sub auto_open()
Workbooks.Open Filename:="S:BI-K11.xls", UpdateLinks:=3
Application.WindowState = xlMaximized
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-3
Rows("7:13").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Range("A1:O26").Select
Selection.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
roww = InputBox("Rows")
Sheet1.Range("A1").Resize(roww + 10, 2).PrintOut
Workbooks.Open Filename:="S:BI-K21.xls"
Rows("7:19").Select...............................
is where i would like the number 13 to represent the input box variable so that the rows to be deleted would be from 7 to "last row to be deleted - 1"
Variable Selection To Return Highest Value
Dec 12, 2011If the weight selected is between the ranges e.g 1.5kg for England so that it returns the higher value 10.69. At the moment if I put in the vlookup formula it returns the lower value of 9.60.

Put Print Dialog Box Selection Into A Variable
Jan 16, 2012Is there a way to have the print dialog box come up, make a selection, and put that selection into a variable?
Ex:
Code:
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrint).Show
brings up the print dialog. I need to be able to select the printer and have the selected printer put into a variable in my vba code.
I have tried Ex: w=Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrint).Show, but all I get is w=true
The reason I need it is because I will be printing via vba code, but the printer may vary for different print jobs.
Change Range Selection With A Variable
Feb 19, 2009How do I change the selection of a range with a variable, and not a hardcoded number in XL2003? I have to update a set of spreadsheets every month, and it's a hassle to have to constantly open my pivot table worksheet, copy, open the summary worksheet, paste ... etc. etc. etc. The code below is my attempt at creating a ComboBox with "January, February, March, etc." and every time I select a particular month it will automatically copy data from my pivot table worksheet into my new summary worksheet in the correct column. The range of data from my pivot table worksheet will never change, so I have no problem hardcoding that in, but based on which month is selected will alter which column the data goes in in the new worksheet.
I want to be able to write code for one month (say January) and then when I want to use a different month (say February) I can just change the column number and call up the originial January code.
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
Dim ColNum ' This is the variable I want to change based on which month is called
If ComboBox1.Value = "January" Then
ColNum = 1 ' Column number for Column A- Where my January column is
Elseif ComboBox1.Value = "February" Then
ColNum = 2 ' Column number for Column B- Where my February column is
' etc. etc. for each month
End If
Call January
End Sub
Private Sub January()
' Just a quick msgbox to make sure the previous macro is calling this one
MsgBox "Is this macro running?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Check"...........................
Range Selection From Variable Start Point
Dec 31, 2008I'm trying to write a bit of code that will allow me to clear some sheets. One of the sheets has formula for x number of rows, and these need to be left intact. Under these forumla there is an area where data is pasted, and this needs to be cleared becfore starting the process.
Colum A is blank, apart from cell A1 (the column heading) and another cell (variable row) with the value 'Paste here'. I've used this variable cell in other macros on the sheet as a marker, so need this to stay. I was going to use this code below, but I don't know how to tell it to select from the current active cell to the bottom of the spreadsheet.
Random Option Selection Based On Variable Input

Hide Rows With Variable Text Based On Dropdown Selection
Jun 11, 2014I have a spreadsheet which contains our fleet information covering many vehicles in one list. The teams for these vehicles are listed in Column A. What I would like to have is:
A dropdown box to pick from All, or the various teams in A1To hide every row that doesn't match the selection of A1To reveal every row that contains the selection for A1 at any point in column A. e.g: "*Dog Team*"
This is because something might be listed as "Moved from Dog Team" or "Dog Team, temporarily on loan", or "Dog Team V66.m"
I have taken a small sample of the data I will be working from and made a very simple drop down box which displays the pages of information for the vehicles by hiding/unhiding blocks of columns:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$2" Then
If Range("A2") = "MOT/Service" Then
ActiveSheet.Columns("A:P").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
ActiveSheet.Columns("Q:CE").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
ElseIf Range("A2") = "Contact Details" Then
[Code]....
But because there is also filters on the sheet, meaning the positions of the entries based on rows can change, I need it to search for the "*xyzzy*" method, but am unsure how to do this! While just using the Filters will work, due to some human limitations I have been asked to have a specific drop down box in a very specific location with instructions next to it.
Determine Maximum / Minimum Value And Additional Count From Variable Range Selection
Mar 25, 2014I have been trying to determine the maximum/minimum value and additional count from a variable range which then I can use to subtract the first data of the range; I have been able to do that for a fixed range but not a variable one.
I have Column A with random positive numbers.
I have Column B with random negative numbers.
I have Column C with random numbers.
I have Column D with random numbers.
I have Column E with random 0’s and 1’s.
I have a set of 1600 cells of numerical data on each of the columns and there will be times when the random 0’s and 1’s from Column D will have appear repeatedly before changing to the opposite number, fx, I will get 7 nr. 1s before I get a 0 (zero).
I have been able to obtain the values in 2 cells within a fixed range:
If the last 8 cells in Column D have been “1” then I do:
F1=MAX(A1:A8)
G1=INDEX(C1:C8;MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307;C1:C8)) ---(Which provides the first number of the range in Column C after Column D has changed from 0 in D9 to 1 in D8)
H1=(F1-G1)
If the next 3 cells in Column D have been “0” then I do:
F9=MIN(B9:B11)
G9=INDEX(C9:C11;MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307;C9:C11)) ---(Which provides the first number of this range after Column D has changed from 1 in D12 to 0 in D11)
H9=(G1-F1)
Additional to this, the COUNT has also been challenging since I want to obtain in Column I, the COUNT of repeated 1’s from each range of 1’s in Column D; and also in Column J the same but for 0’s.
Fx:I18 (size of the range of 1’s originated from D1:D8)
J93 (size of the range of 0’s which consist to be the next range before 1’s were originated)
I12X (size of the range of 1’s which consist to be the next range before changed to 0’s)
However, that only works for a fixed range and continuous updates are made.

Variable Column Range Based On Current Selection For Sorting Columns
May 16, 2014The first line of the code chooses the columns to select; all columns until there is no value. From there I need to have it sort those columns based on row 1. The problem is that the columns chosen are variable. It could be columns I:N (as shown below) or column G:Z or any other combination. (The code below was recorded if that matters at all.)

Jan 14, 2009I have a workbook of contracts that I have designed in excel. Each worksheet tab/title is the contract number, i.e. 3487. On each individual contract I have the contact name, address etc. Each cell/field is in the same position on every contract. In other words, every B1 is the Group name, every B2 is the first name, every C2 is the last name, etc. What I'm trying to do is to make a new page with all of the contact info on it so I can make labels etc. I hope this is clear.

Excel 2010 :: Making Portions Of Drag Down Formula Skip Cells
Feb 11, 2014I have set up a formula to sum data from specific columns in multiple sheets in the same file. The simple formula had worked perfectly until I needed the data from the last sheet. In all of the other sheets the data that I need to pull is all in consecutive rows but in the last sheet the data that I need pulled and added is in every 4th row. The sheet looks like this:
All of the columns I've filled in work fine. The ones blank are the ones I am running into issues with. When I drag down the formulas excel pulls the next consecutive rows, which is perfect for the first four sheets I am summing, but for the fifth sheet (I'll ref the Test1 column) I need it to pull 'Wayne 2014'!C6 and then 'Wayne 2014'!C10 in the next row and so forth.
