View 4 RepliesAll I want to do is
put a combo box on a spreadsheet,
have it populated, and sorted - ideally, alphabetically with range names already created.
And
I'd like to be able to click on the Range Name and GoTo the location.
I am having trouble with populating a combo box on a user form. I wish for the combo box to be populated using the names of the sheets of the workbook. I am using sheet1 as the control sheet where a user form will open up from this sheet, this will allow me to select the sheet that I require from a combo box that is placed on the form however I do not seam to be able to code the VBA to populate the combo box with the sheet names.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to populate two combo boxes from excel sheet, the data will be like below:
Column A Column B
A 1
A 2
A 3
A 4
A 5
B 100
B 101
B 102
So from the above data, one combo box should hold unique values A & B.
On selecting a value from the 1st combo box A or B, respective values should be populated in 2nd combo box.
So the data should be like below:
If A is selected in the 1st combo box, then 2nd combo box should only show the values 1,2,3,4 & 5.
If B is selected in the 1st combo box, then 2nd combo box should only show the values 100,101 & 102.
Friends I need it in a macro and one important point is, this is dynamic and it is not static and the data can be more.
I have a table, headers "FirstName" and "SurName".
Further a Userform with 2 Comboboxes "FirstName" and "SurName"
I'd like to choose the FirstName (say Jack) in the "FirstName" combobox, and based on that get the choice of the Surnames of all my Jacks in the "SurName" combobox.
Actually my sheet has much more fields and comboboxes, but i think my problem is just that I do not find a way to populate them dynamically.
Trying to use a Defined Name as the cell reference in VBA. The idea is to change the value of a couple of other cells base on the value of the cell "FreightRow". I am starting with a Message box just to make sure the code was reading the cell reference.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim FR As Range
Set FR = ThisWorkbook.Names("FreightRow").RefersTo
If FR = 3 Then
MsgBox ("Help")
End If
End Sub
Is it possible to use defined names from other workbooks? I would like to use this defined name as part of a VBA code.
Example: ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = Range(Name1)
where Name1 is a defined name from a different workbook
I have a column J that is named Premium. If I use the function =INT(Premium) in K4 then it returns the integer for the value in J4. If I do the same thing with a UDF then the function argument receives all the values in column J. The author of the function says this is how UDFs work by design. Is there a way to use defined names with UDFs and have it work the way it does with built in functions?

I can create a macro to do this but some days i use different range names that other days so the below will not work exactly.
Ive created the following code which I want to use to create a name in excel but it doesnt work.
when i put =INDIRECT i get an error and with out the = it places a text string in with speech marks on it e.g. defined name reference in excel reads ="INDIRECT('Health and Safety'!$AP$3)"
How do I get rid of those speech marks? the cell reference will change each time the macro runs and so will the sheet reference.
myC = ActiveCell.Address
Dim strNAME As String
strNAME = "YAXIS" & "_" & "HS" & Chartnumber
strSHEET = ActiveSheet.Name
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(ActiveSheet.Name).Names.Add Name:=strNAME, _
RefersToR1C1:="INDIRECT('" & strSHEET & "'!" & myC & ")"
I am currently overhauling a massive workbook, that previously relied on an absurd amount of named ranges in order to run vlookups. I no longer need these named ranges and would like to delete them to unclog the workbook. Currently I only see a way to delete them one by one. Is there a way to mass delete all of them?
How to delete all defined names from a workbook
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have several SumIf formulas that references a Cell in a Main Reference Tab. This is useful to me as I have over 100 tabs of data points and having a reference cell with that text is easier to change one time vs 100 times.
My question is this: Will Defined Names be "faster" than using a reference cell? With over 100 tabs, there's a lot of formulas and I'm looking for a faster way to get the same output without Excel Memory overload.
Why can't I alphabetize all of my defined name ranges in the Name box?

If one wants to copy a formula from the "Refers to" box and the formula extends past the right side of the box, how does one use "select all" or mark the whole formula from beginning to end so it can be copied without messing up the formula. At the moment, when I try this, it changes the formula to include the active cell of the worksheet that's open when I use the Ctrl + c etc. I have tried Ctrl + Ins and Ctrl + a and Ctrl + c. None of these are working for me.
I have a situation where I copy a worksheet to further on in the same workbook (essentially, using it as a template to create new sheets). I have certain cells that contain references to named ranges, e.g. on NewSheet1, cell $A$1 contains =StudyNo. Unfortunately, it shows as #NAME?. But, if I go to the formula bar and press enter, it resolves the name properly. I thougt maybe that automatic calculation was on manual but it is not. Why is this happening and what can I do to resolve it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would really appreciate if someone could help me with the following problem:
I wrote this code, but for some reason it doesn't work. I am completely new to VBA and have no idea what went wrong:
as the title says, i need to rotate a range but to keep all defined names (single cell or range) consistent.
i.e.
lets say i have the following cells filled:
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4
now i have a few defined ranges. lets say:
range name, refers to
mycell1row1, A1
mycell90roanything, B1
mysomething, C1
mysomthingrange, A1:F1
etc.
what i need in the end is this:
1 1 1 1 1 1 1
2 2 2 2 2 2 2
3 3 3 3 3 3 3
4 4 4 4 4 4 4
and for defined names:
mycell1row1, A1
mycell90roanything, A2
mysomething, A3
mysomthingrange, A1:A7
I'm trying to use some defined names to create charts. Though it works at the very begin, some extremely weird things happen when I try to develop further .....
Attached please find the test file, which simplifies my real case but shows the same problem.
Test.xlsx
In the test file, three names are defined as below:
Line1: "=Xvalue*1"
Line2: "=Xvalue*2"
Xvalue: "=ROW(SampleChart!$A$1:$A$25)"
the chart is very sample: "=SERIES(,Test.xlsx!Xvalue,Test.xlsx!Line1,1)"
So far, it works very well. However, I just simply can't add the second line into the chart, for example, "=SERIES(,Test.xlsx!Xvalue,Test.xlsx!Line2,2)"
I canNOT even change "Line1" to "Line2" in the "SERIES" formula!
I am looking to create a formula which sums the values associated with several defined names. For example, I have a workbook with the following defined names SalesPerson1Total, SalesPerson2Total, etc. and these amounts are all sourced from multiple tabs. The amount of defined names (i.e. 'SalesPersons') is variable, therefore, I want the formula to read Sum the values of all defined names which are named with the following convention 'SalesPerson(X)Total'.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have created 500+ defined names that refer to worksheets that do not exist (yet). When I add the previously nonexistent worksheets, the defined names that refer to them are not "live" and do not work in functions where that name is used. If you go into the defined names and click on the ones that refer to the now existent worksheet, they start to work, but I was hoping there was a way around this step (e.g. a simple macro that says "update all defined names").
I created all the names so that the person who will eventually be using this will only have to add an appropriately named worksheet and put the data in...then everything will automatically work. I do not think adding names is difficult, but the person who will be using this does, so I want to avoid that person mucking around in my names.
I want it to populate a combobox in a userform. Should it go in the code segment for the userform, in a module, or some other place? The following is code I originally found (by Leith Ross of this board) to find the last row in column "A", and load the combo box "ComboBox1"

I have created a combobox1 and I have written a code to populate the box the problem is when I run the form and select the data from the dropdown list it gives me an error. I can see the data but just can't select it. I have a command button that I use to save the data I select and insert it into fields on my worksheet. All I just need the drop down box to let me select the data I chose below is my code.
Private Sub ComboBox1_Click()
ComboBox1.Value = .Range("A2:A14")

'if range"F4" is empty then
'copy sheet1 range"A5:R5" to sheet2 range"F4"

however, i cant seem to populate the list, i get error :424 object required
is this because the first record in the db has the Equipment_QC field blank? i need to be able to have blank fields..
I'm looking to change the value of a variable using the selected value of a combobox. I've used the following
Dim DatabaseVal As String
'then on selecting my option from the combo box: "JVU" or "VPU" are the only two options.
DatabaseVal = cmbDbase.Value
When I try and use the variable 'DatabaseVal' to populate a value in another workbook (the workbook contains a reference to the add-in running the above macro), the cell just gets populated with a blank value. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but can't see what.
I am trying to populate a combo box with two columns of data read from two consecutive (or non consecutive) columns of data. The following code is what I have come up with after visiting several of the previous threads on similar topics (couldn't find one that gave a general, concise solution).

Dim lngRow As Long
Dim lngRowtot As Integer
Parameters1.SG1.Clear 'Clear combobox SG1 in userform named Parameters1
'Find the number of rows required for the array and combo box

Do While Sheets("Timber Properties").Range("H" & lngRow).Value <> "" 'Read until empty col H lngRowtot = lngRow - 11
lngRow = lngRow + 1
