Pass Each Cell Value In Range To Cell & Run Macro Code
Apr 28, 2008
I have workbook template that I use to generate reports from a list of depts. This list is contained in a drop down cell that is a named range in a different worksheet. My current process is as follows:
-Select Dept Name from the list
-Click a command button which is assigned to code that calculates and saves to a file
-Repeat for next report until all reports are generated
I would like to automate this process by producing all reports with a single command with the following functionality:
-The Dept Name needs to be populated in the specified cell containing the current drop down because it drive various vlookups and other formulas
-If possible, I would like to retain the drop down functionality as I would like to have the option of running an individual report or running the “batch”.
I need to pass range information (eg. WorkSheets("abc").Range("A1") as text or ??) from a cell (ie the above text is in a cell on some worksheet, say "XYZ") to a VBA procedure or could directly use it in the procedure, similar to...
Sub MyProc(RngInfo as string [or?]) dim RRng as range Set RRng= RngInfo ??? it is this part I'm really not sure how to do
where RngInfo is a worksheet that has a "named" cell that contains the above cell with the indicated range in it.
eg. RngInfo is worksheets("XYZ").Range("D1") where D1 contains the text (or ?)WorkSheets("abc").Range("A1")
I've only indicated these as text items because I'm not sure what/how you would do this. The end purpose of this is to pass variable Range information from a cell on a WS either into (or use within directly) a VBA Sub. I guess I could pass the WS and Range Address as a single string separated by a "Char" and use Split to separate them and then recombine using Worksheets(Parm(0)).Range(Parm(1)) but it seems like it should be easier than that.
I am setting a variable to the value of an absolute cell reference. I want to set the value of another variable to just the row value of that absolute cell reference.
I'm trying to use an offset from a Named Range as my source cell in a vlookup but get a -1004 Object not defined error. When Debugged the Range.Formula appears to be blank when queried. Using Record a Macro the Reference to a named range worked fine but I could not test for an offset or the use of the range reference. What can I do to use to make this work
Is there a way to create a macro to color code a cell based on the value in a cell, and then look up a value in a table, then color code it based on where it fits into the table?
I have a table of values for about 30 projects. In column g - there is a CPI value (see bold column)
Example: Project ID Name Program PMT SI ID AC Milestone TCP Level [Code] ......
Here is the table:
I have to color code a cell, base on the CPI and how it fits into the table below. So if the current Milestone is M2 or M3 and the CPI calculated is .14 the cell would be colored RED, if the CPI number is 2.01 for M2-M3 I would want cell to be colored Turquiose. If we were at Milestone M6 and the CPI was 2.01, it would be colored blue. If the CPI was .75 at Milestone M5, it would be colored Green
Is this possible using code: Copy Cell A1 and Paste in first empty Cell down Column D. This would be connected to a command button. Both Cell A1 and Column D are on the same spreadsheet.
I have a sheet where i have many differently named areas (like state1_1 and state1_2) When I doubleclick on a cell then a macro should run with following criteria: 1) Macro will run if the doubleclicked cell is part of any range in the list. Here I mean that names of ranges which belong to that list start with word state (like state1_1 and state1_2). No other ranges should not be in that list. If the cell is not in the range that is part of the list, then nothing should happen.
I have many workbooks which all have a summary sheet called summary, and which are all kept in the same folder (although this folder name/filepath may change from year to year).
I want to be able to set up the column headings and then copy the same set of summary information from each book so that it can then be used for analysis. The cells to be copies derive their value from formulae, it is the value that needs to be copied.
I attach a workbook with the format needed and the source cells. The source sheet will be password protected.
I know this is a question that has been raised before and I have searched the forum but not come across a question that is close enough to work from - my VB skills are appalling.
If I have cells that are formatted to a certain decimal width, say, 2 digits, cells that have the value of 3.599 will appear as 3.60. When I reference this cell in VBA, how can I have it pickup the 3.60? Currently, something like Range("A1") or Range("A1").Value will pickup the 3.599.
I feel like theres something thats like Range("A1").XXXX that will get me there, but I can't seem to guess it.
I am doing a simple filter list copy and paste into another worksheet and I have a challenge trying to pass the value in Cell B1 (which contains the city) as a filter parameter in the filtered list.
I have the below code which creates a new template
Code: Private Sub NewTemplate_Click() Dim Tsh As Worksheet Set Tsh = Sheets("TEMPLATE") Tsh.Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count) shName = InputBox("Please enter new sheet name:") ActiveSheet.Name = shName Tsh.Visible = False End Sub
What I would like to add to the above code is two more inputbox prompts, the first should prompt the user for a Name (text and length) to go into the new sheet cell A6. The the second input box should as for code, (number any length), to go into the new sheet cell b6.
I have a macro that nicely select the named range that the active cell is in. I want to chain on to that macro a macro that has a parameter a range with that active selection. I dont see how to "take" the active selection on the worksheet from within the macro and pass it to another. I assume I could change the cellInRange macro to return a range, however I dont yet see how to do that.
I want to put some colour in the cells B2, B3, B4, B5, etc and a put black the edge of every box. For do that i make a subrutime that put some color in the range that i want (only if i write "B2" or "B2:B5"), but if i want to put a black edge in all the box i can't do "B2:B5". Then i tried to do something like:
For i=2 To 5 Step 1 Call Boxcute(ActiveSheet.Cells(i,2)) Next i
Sub Boxcute (Box As String) Range(Box).Selection etc. End Sub
I am using this program in one workbook to capture the datevalue in integer from another workbook which i opened. But the program as it reaches the line x2=Datevalue( Cells(2,14).Value) gives a Type Mismatch error.
Public Sub find_date() Dim x2 As Long
'I am trying to activate the last opened file by using workbooks.count Workbooks(Workbooks.Count).Activate Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1).Select
x2 = DateValue(Cells(2, 14).Value)
End Sub
Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;btw..the cells(2,14) has a date, formatted in the type of mm/dd/yyyy.
my "value1" needs to equal the value in the corresponding row for the formula. For example: B6 = "BEA" B7 = "GE" B8 = "TAS" My formula only gets cell B6 value and doesn't pick up B7 or B8 as the formula copies from G6:AD12
I am using excel to stop and start a service on the network and have that part done when using a txtfield to enter in the PC ID. What i want to do is use a list of PCIDs and pass them to my service object to stop and start the service.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Worksheets("PCIDs"). Range("B2").Select 'my issue is here Range("B2").Activate 'and here
Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell) Call StopService("ServiceName") ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select Loop
Range("B1").Activate Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell) Call StartService("ServiceName") ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select Loop
Worksheets("ServiceName").Select End Sub
and with this function i need it to pass as a string to txtDeviceID. I have tried just simply setting txtDeviceID as ActiveCell but it didn't like that.
Public Function StopService(ServiceName As String) As Boolean
Dim oSysInfo As New ActiveDs.WinNTSystemInfo Dim oComp As ActiveDs.IADsComputer Dim oSvcOp As ActiveDs.IADsServiceOperations Dim sCompName As String Dim sSvc As String Dim lRet As Boolean
I can't use code for this problem as I need to give this to someone who doesn't know VBA. They will need to use it in several different reports, so I can't produce something in VBA very easily. I have three worksheets, Summary, Year1 and Year2.
I want to display either Year1 or Year2 data in the Summary sheet depending on what the user enters in a cell in the Summary sheet. For example, if the user enters "Year1" in cell E2 then I want to point to a cell in the Year1 spreadsheet. I tried using formula: =E2 & "!B3" but this doesn't work. Is there another solution? I have attached an example.
I am trying to create a macro (please look the attached excel what I have done), I have already crwated a macro that after 5 seconds is gonna change the background color of the of the cell en function of another cell.
That means if F3:F4 change the background color F8:is going to change the backgorung color also, every 5 seconds. The macro I wrote is also include in the excel attached file.
Now this is my problem... I have a variable cell that is give for D6 which could be A,B,C,D,E,F (Range F2:K2).
If the variable cell D6 is A the background color of F8:F9 should be the background color F3:F4 .
If the variable cell D6 is B the background color of F8:F9 should be the background color G3:G4 .
If the variable cell D6 is C the background color of F8:F9 should be the background color H3:H4 ......and etcetera.
The above Date si used in a sql select statement where I'm hard coding the date (9/20/2007). This date is actually located in sheet1, cell E1. How can I get it from that cell and use it in my Select statement instead of entering the date manually every day in my code?
But i want to save the number in a dim single variable called N. I try to put N where i have write ActiveSheet.Range("$B$2") and do N=Application.Run ... But it doesn't work.
I have a function that is called upon saving a UserForm. One of the Text Labels contains the ID field that I need to use to do a lookup into the first column of a Named Range and then I need to update the cell in the 4th column of that row.
From my research, I'm assuming it will go something like this:
I am coding a spreadsheet that makes extensive use of the excel dropdown list boxes. So I have codes such all over and it is not a neat way to code.
Code: With Target.Validation .Delete .Add xlValidateList, 1, 1, Formula1:="1, 2, 3" .InCellDropdown = True .ShowInput = True End With
As many of the dropdown list boxes are similar in nature, with the only exception that the list content is different, I wanted to code a sub routine to include the code above.
My subroutine looks like this now:
Code: Sub listbox(cellref As Range) Set Target = Cells(cellref) With Target.Validation .Delete .Add xlValidateList, 1, 1, Formula1:="1, 2, 3" .InCellDropdown = True .ShowInput = True End With End Sub
The problem is that when I call the subroutine with a
Call listbox (10,10)
It kept giving me a compile error.
I would like to create a listbox at cell row 10, column 10 of the worksheet.
