Naming Ranges Of Cells
May 8, 2007
I have a range of cells that I have named to be used in a data validation for a drop down box. I have named the cells and would like to have the user name the cells by typing in the name into one cell.
For example
Cells F10:F14 are named "orange" right now (typed in cell F9)
I would like the user to be able to change the name of the cells to whatever they want by changing the cell in F9 - i.e. "banana" and the range is automatically named banana so the data validation can search for Banana instead.

Range("B25").Name = "EndMull"
Its fine but if i insert a new row or column then it mucks the whole thing up. Is there away of naming them but if any cells, row or columns are inserted the range will automatically adjust to suit1

I have a spreadsheet which has four columns and numerous rows
Example:
Location - Desc - Price - ID#
Electric - Duplex Outlet - $5.00 - 12-0001
I would like to use VBA to name ranges. I need to name the Desc., Price, and ID# columns separately and want to use the Location and the headings of each column as the name range. Example - the column containing Duplex Outlet would be named ElectricDesc.
This is what I came up with, but need to figure out how to make "add name" a formula combining Location+Desc. I tried concatenate (B1,A2) but it did not work.
ActiveSheet.Names.Add Name:="MyRange1", RefersTo:="=$A$1:$B$10"

name the range v17:v64 as day1
name the range v65:v112 as day2
name the range v113:v160 as day3
this must repeat 365 times (i.e. for each day of the year)

I have 4 sheets (2006,2007,2008,2009) Each has appx. 365 named ranges of 65 rows each. Each row (col A) has text(7:00 am, 7:15, 730, 7:45...11:00 pm (thats 65 rows)) to make a very useful schedule. The top 8 rows of each sheet are frozen so that a control panel has a place to sit. From the control panel, you can click on the go to "TODAY" button and the schedule scrolls to that day and indicates it in a label on the panel. When I named each range, I put a water mark of the day in the back ground so the user always knows what day it is. I also named each range with its respective date and the label on the control panel is supposed to indicate the active range(for instance: the user scrolls down 12 days and clicks inside it).
MY PROBLEM: Code that returns the intersection of the active cell and the name of the range does not work with the way in which I named my ranges. It works on a more simple named range However.
Sub DefineNameandwatermark2007()
Dim i As Long
Dim a, b, c, X
Dim dt As Date
Dim sr As String
dt = DateSerial(2007, 1, 1)
For i = 8 To 25000 Step 66
j = j + 1
a = Application.WorksheetFunction.Text(dt + j, "ddd")
b = Application.WorksheetFunction.Text(dt + j, "mmm")
c = Application.WorksheetFunction.Text(dt + j, "d")
X = a & "_" & b & "_" & c
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:=X, RefersToR1C1:="=2007!R" & i & "C1:R" & _
i + 65 & "C1"....................................

What I would like to do is take all of the subcategory headings and name the cells they are in to reflect them.
e.g.
E2 has text "Diodes, Low Frequency"
I would like to rename the cell so
Diodes_Low_Frequency has text "Diodes, Low Frequency"
The code I'm using is as follows:
Code:
Dim rng As Range
For Each rng In Range(E2, AD2)
'Title of subcategory
[Code]....
For this code I'm getting the error "Method Range of object _Global failed"
If I change the code to the specific Sheet4.Range(E2.AD2) I get the error "Method Range of object _worksheet failed"
The actual code to alter the test string works fine, its the selecting the range and writing the cell names that I'm having trouble with.

I need to name a dynamic range of cells. The only constant is the column - H, and the heading "MRC".
MRC column in a table represents an array formula. Unknown is the row where it is going to show up and the number of rows that this array formula will take. I need to name this range (active cells based on the array formula) but do not know what row does it start with and how many rows will it take.
It is not the last table in column H either but there are 2 empty rows before the next table.
Trying something like that...
=========================
Set aCell = Range("H:H").Find(What:="MRC", LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
If Not aCell Is Nothing Then
aCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
========================================
That's how I select the first cell in the range. Not sure how to select the whole range and name it ..
ActiveCell.End(1xDown) ?

I have a monitoring database and I want to create a 'source' sheet in sheet 1 whereby when I enter names into a certain column they rename different tabs/sheets in the worksheet. for example, the name 'Brown' inputted in cell 'A2' would rename sheet 2, Black in A3 would rename sheet 3 etc.

I want to do a loop where you can copy say A3 worksheet 1 then add another sheet naming the work sheet "A3" then copying A3 worksheet 1 to A1 "A3". After that looping to A4 to a new work sheet naming the work sheet "A4"copying the value to A1 "A4", etc...
Is there a simply way of doing this loop? I can probably fit my other coding into the structure.

I am trying to search three columns on a worksheet, that contain a range of customers, product names and the amount of that product sold to the to the customer.
On a separate worksheet I have created a table, which I hope will show the customer, the product and the amount sold. So basically I need either a formula or piece of code that can match the customer and product, along with the amount sold and display it in one table. The data is by nature not kept in alpha or numerical order and my problem lies in being able to search through each row and extrapolate the necessary figure.

How do I enforce for ranges A1:A10 and C1:C10 that whatever is entered in these cells is changed to sentence case, i.e. "today it is Raining." will change to "Today it is raining.".
I thought of having helper columns with the following formula that would then paste over the ranges on a Workbook.close event but it seems long-winded and not the right way of doing it.
Formula for helper columns:

So I have a spreadsheet with a list of companies, list of users within those companies, and the status of those users(Active/Inactive/Deleted). I'm trying to determine the company-level status based on how the overall status of all the users in the company.
E.g.
Code:
A B C D
Company A User 1 Active
Company A User 2 Active
Company A User 3 Inactive
Company A User 4 Deleted
Company B User 1 Inactive
Company B User 2 Active
Company B User 3 Inactive
In the above example, cells D1 to D4 would list "Active", since Active users form the bulk of the company. D4 to D6 would list "Inactive" for Company B. I'm trying to use a formula to automate this for the whole spreadsheet (5,000+ rows)
I've figured out the first half of what I need to do:
Code:
=IF(COUNTIF(A1:A4,"Active")>COUNTA(A1:A4)/2),"Active",IF(COUNTIF(A1:A4,"Inactive")>(COUNTA(A1:A4)/2),"Inactive","Deleted"))
My problem is in getting Excel to automatically define the cell ranges according to the cells that contain "Company A", "Company B", etc. I have over 5,000 rows on the spreadsheet so having to manually change the cell ranges for each company would take forever.

The compliment of a set is those elements not in the set. Excel doesn't do compliments well.
In Automatic Filter, one can easily see the rows that match criteria, but selecting the compliment of those rows (the ones that don't match the criteria) is difficult.
Similarly, there are the range functions Intersect and Union, but no Symetric Difference.
(Def: the symetric difference of two sets, AB, is the set of those elements in A that are not in B. {1,2,3,4,5}{2,3,4,10,11} = {1,5}.)
Other than by looping through cells:
Given two ranges, aRange and bRange, how would one code for those cells that are in aRange, but not in bRange.

I am looking for a macro or function (VBA) that will modifiy the value of the selected cell or cells. the code should support selection of one cell, a range or multiple ranges.
I envision the user making his range selection(s). Activating a function or clicking a button that would pop open a modal window. The user would have the option to either adjust the values by a % change (i.e. up or down 7%), or incremental change (i.e. up olr down 100 units). The function would overite the value in the cells.
Has anyone ever done something similar? Is it hard to program?

I need to count cells withdates in theme in a column. So that would be a CountA function; but only if the values in the cells are within a certain date range, a COUNTIF function. Here's what I thought:
=COUNTIF('All Employees'!O1351:O1364,">12/31/05,<2/1/06")
It returns a zero, which I know is not correct, as I checked it on a smaller sample....

I have a list of people to send drawings out to. I have already made the selections am just trying to work out how to simplify the output so as to use as a field in a data file to go onto a letter.
"| A01 | A02 | A03 | A04 | A05 | A06 | A07 |" are for Joe Bloggs
( | are cells)
In another cell, i would like to merge them together like so
"A01-A07" are for Joe Bloggs
And also as follows
"| A01 | | A03 | A04 | A05 | | A07 |" are for John Smith
would like this to be
"A01, A03-A05,A07" are for John Smith.
So differing conditions depending on what happens in the range. I have had a couple of attempts at this using a VBA concatenate command, I can get them to display like "A01,A02,A03..." with a selected separator, but cannot get it how i want it.

Why the following doesn't work?
Sheets("Sheet1").Range(Cells(1,1), Cells(20,1)).Copy Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1:A20")
If I can get his to work, I will be able to use variables for the Cells arguments to give the functionality I want.

I have the following macro, which works fine (extraneous code not shown)...
For I = Start_ROW To Last_ROW_Z
Range("A" & I & " : " & "O" & I).Copy
But I want to make the "O" column identifier dynamic. So I've defined the column with the dimension...
Last_COL_Tracking = Sheets(" Tracking").Range("IV" & Start_ROW).End(xlToLeft).Column - 1
But this returns a column number, not the letter, so I can't use it in my original formula.
I tried converting to R1C1 with the formula...
Range ("R[" & I & "]C[1]:R[" & I & "]C[" & Last_COL_Tracking & "]")
...but this errors out.

I want to work out how many cells in a colums are "equal to or more than AND less than or equal to" certain date ranges.
E.G. Column A has random dates from 01/10/2012 to 31/12/2012. I want to know how many of these cells have dates that meet the criteria of >=01/12/2012 and <=31/12/2012.
I have searched on here and found COUNTIF which didn't work. I also tried DCOUNT which I couldn't get to work.

I basically need to switch between ranges of cells to data input alot. so i thought of making a fixed field to enter the data which transfers the data over to designated cells .
Attached is an example.
I am not too sure which one will work, the If statement captures the data but when i switch out , the entry is gone .

I have macro that brings information from outlook to excel. In the beginning of macro, it deletes range of cells. That destroys the functions that target those cells. Is there a way avoid that? Using some different method or ?
Code:
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim olNS As Outlook.Namespace
Dim myCalItems As Outlook.Items
Dim ItemstoCheck As Outlook.Items
[Code] ........
Running the macro messes up all funtions that targets those cells.
Like:
Code:
=DATEVALUE(MID(data!#REF!;4;2)&"."&LEFT(data!#REF!;2)&"."&RIGHT(data!#REF!;2))
This really great code to get data from outlook is originally: [URL] ........

I have a worksheet that has a few ranges and I need a printarea statement that looks like this:
Code:
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$F$26,$G$1:$L$9,$M$1:$P$16,$Q$1:$S$7"
The above works, but each time I generate this worksheet, the ranges for the last row of each area can be dynamic.
So, I tried something like this:
Code:
Sub setPrtArea()
'set the print area
lr1 = Range("F65536").End(xlUp).Row
rngA = Range("$A$1:$F$" & lr1)
lr2 = Range("L65536").End(xlUp).Row
rngB = Range("$G$1:$L$" & lr2)
lr3 = Range("P65536").End(xlUp).Row
rngC = Range("$M$1:$P$" & lr3)
lr4 = Range("S65536").End(xlUp).Row
rngD = Range("$Q$1:$S$" & lr4)
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = rngA & "," & rngB & "," & rngC & "," & rngD
But, it fails. I have looked through many topics on this subject, but nothing seems to fit my scenario. This will pretty much complete my current project if I get this figured out and can export these print areas to pdf without a bunch of blank pages as I get now with no print area set.
