Range Collection Properties, Methods & Events
Aug 16, 2007
I need to learn the syntax and all options I can use with the Selection function - where can I find that info? I can't find anything in in Visual Basic Help (I find microsoft help is generally totally useless).
For example, in the code below, what are all the options I can use after "Selection. " (ie .Copy, .End, .Select) and what do I use if I want to select a certain number of cells to the left or to the right or up or down?
Sub Fill()
Selection.Copy Destination:=Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown).Offset(-1))
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
End Sub
I'm just noticing now that the "(xlDown)" is X L, not X 1, which I thought might make sense to say "1 time Down". What does the "xl" stand for?

some of your favorite Methods/Properties exposed by the Range Object. How's bout some that you just can't live without?
Have an tricks for example that you can do with XLS03 that for example couldn't do with XLS2K or perhaps XLS07 that you couldn't do with XLS03?

I am trying to implement code that can handle a dynamic number of objects, specifically check boxes.
I know of eval( ) in perl that allows one to dynamically create command lines. For instance, the following code would change all of the Checkbox values to 1. The syntax may not be correct but the idea is solid.
Do While i < num_checkboxes
eval("Checkbox" .i. ".Value=1)
Loop
Does this funtion also exist in excel?

I have a UserForm with a Text Box, I populate that Text Box with a number (say 5) and then the following code runs:
Code:
Private Sub tbOverrideMokWh_Change()
Application.EnableEvents = False: Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With tbOverrideMokWh
[Code]....
After the Sub is run 1 time, it runs again. Why? I've disabled Events?

I am trying to assign a named range to a series on a preexisting chart in a sheet, but I get the error that "unable to set values property of series class". This is the code example that DOESN'T work:
Sub assign_values()
Dim myrange As range
Set myrange = range("a1")
Set myrange = union(range("a5"),myrange)
activechart.seriescollection(1).values = myrange
End Sub
However, this code DOES work:
Sub assign_values()
activechart.seriescollection(1).values = range("a1")
End Sub
I don't see why the first wouldn't work, but the second would work. I suspect it is something to do with the union function. i am trying to go through a set of data and then group certain cells into a named range to be used on the graph.

This is the code that Recorder proffers to simply take a Range of 3 Cells and make Type Font Black/Bold and to place Thin Borders inside the range and Thick Borders aroung the range.
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2).Range("A1:C1").Select
Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 1
Selection.Font.Bold = True
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlThin
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With

These workbooks are located in different folders.
The first is pasted "as link" from two open instances of Excel and is an array formula.
The second is just pasted from another open workbook.
{=Excel.Sheet.12|'xx.xxxFolderFolderFilename.xlsx'!'!SheetName!R2C9:R1500C22'}=IF(H4="N/A","N/A",VLOOKUP(A2,'I:FolderMore Folders[FileName.xlsx]Sheet'!$A$1:$T$35,13,FALSE))
What is the difference between using these two different methods?

I am developing a VBA for Excel application which uses transient worksheets to collect data from users before writing the data back to master spreadsheets.
My application opens an instance of excel with a workbook and worksheet using the following code:
Dim xlsInstance As Object
Dim wkb As Workbook
Dim wks As Worksheet
Set xlsInstance = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set wkb = xlsInstance.Workbooks.Add
wkb.Activate
Set wks = wbk.Worksheets.Add
wks.Activate
I can reference various ranges in the worksheet and do most of what I need but I need to override the Worksheet_Change method. Easily done for static sheets, but this must be set at runtime when the worksheet is created.

Below is an example of how I prefer to work with a database. Results are fast; even across the network and I understand the syntax perfectly.
Code:
Sub DBPreferredWay()
folder = ThisWorkbook.Path & "mydatabase.mdb"
Set db = OpenDatabase(folder)
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM transactions WHERE [SimilarItems] = " & myFocus
Set tR = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
[Code] ........
I'm trying to access a different database; a database being hosted on my SQL server. Because of security and what not; it looks like I'm needing to use adodb but I can't stand it and the slowness (minutes to receive queries. IS there a way for me to access my sql server database similarly to how I'm accessing MDB tables across the network? Below is what I've been trying with the adodb
Code:
Sub SqltoACCPAC()
Set conn = CreateObject("adodb.connection")
Set rs = CreateObject("adodb.recordset")
phrase1 = "DRIVER=SQL Server;DATABASE=" & "VNODAT;SERVER=192.168.0.91,1433": conn.Open phrase1, "SA", "password"
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM ICITEM WHERE [SEGMENT1] >= 101 AND [SEGMENT1]

I have thousand rows of data in the following format:
Despatched Time
Batch
Date
Time
Amended Time
20/4/2013 3:45:00
1
20/4/2013
03:45
[Code] ..........
'Date' is generated by =IF(A2="", "", TRUNC(A2))
'Time' is generated by =IF(A2="", "", IF(E2 = "", A2 - TRUNC(A2), TIME(LEFT(E2,LEN(E2)-2),RIGHT(E2,2),0)))
And sometimes I may want to change the Time, so I used another column 'Amended Time' to insert a 4-digit value to do so.
I want to arrange them into batches according to the hh:mm, so for the column 'Batch', I used the following formula:
=IF(D2 = "", "", IF(EXACT(D2, D1),MAX(B$1:B1),MAX(B$1:B1)+1))
The problem is, when I changed the time by inserting 4 digits in 'Amended Time', the time value is actually different from those generated by TRUNC(), so even two cells have the same time '03:46', the time value is not exactly the same and so they are arranged into different batches (please refer to the following table).
Despatched Time
Batch
Date
Time
Amended Time
20/4/2013 3:45:00
1
20/4/2013

Instead of typing out my code hundreds of times, I would like to replace it with an abbreviation or variable(?). Here is my example. If I have this in the wrong place please let me know. I want to replace Activecell.Interior.Colorindex with ACIC. I tried to Dim ACIC as range, variant, string...to no avail. In combination I Set ACIC = Activecell.Interior.Colorindex and that didn't work. I have been toiling with VBA for a year and I am still trying to learn the terminology and understand it so please forgive me if I seem really NOOBIE. :-)

I am trying to compare two workbooks and am running into the problem that since I declared my two workbooks, I am limited in the methods that I can use. Here is all of the code so far.
Option Explicit

Dim wbEmailed As Workbooks
Dim wsPC As Worksheet
Dim Master As Long
Dim Emailed As Long

Set wbEmailed = Workbooks("EmailedData.xls").Sheets("NewInfo")
Master = Workbooks("Master Info.xls").Sheets("PlantsCom"). Range("a65536").End(xlUp).Row
Emailed = Workbooks("EmailedData.xls").Sheets("NewInfo").Range("a65536").End(xlUp).Row..............

I am aware that I can use single changing events in worksheet change events. For instance, if column 1, or A is changed, do something. This is only a single If statement, i.e. either the condition is true, or not. What I am not sure is if I can use two changing events, i.e. two conditions. For e.g. I would like if Column A value is X and Column B is "Active", action it, but only if two conditions are true.
For.e,g. The below syntax does not work. If it is only column A, it does work, but I want both A and B to be true, then copy and paste the target does not anything.
VB:
If Target.Column = 1 Then
If Target.Column = 2 Then
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A2:A" & Rows.Count)) Is Nothing Then
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B2:B" & Rows.Count)) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Value = "X" And Target.Value = "Active" Then

how to calculate averages and standard deviations based on different time periods without having to manually change the cells?
example:
1st average output at z3, 1st std dev output at z4
data to calculate from c3:c50
2nd average output at z5, 2nd std dev output at z6
data to calculate from c51:c98
3rd average output at z7, 3rd std dev output at z8
data to calculate from c99:c148
and it goes on based on this sequence. i would like to know how to do this without having to change the cells each time i want to calculate. basically what is the quickest way to calculate following this sequence?

In cell A1, I have the month number (eg, 1, 2, 3,). The month number reflects current month and will automatically change with every month. For example, right now it’s 6, next month it will automatically change to 7. Each two columns in Range A10:X20 represents the data from January to December. I want to use a worksheet event to change the background of the current month two columns in the range to yellow color and the two columns in the range will be visible when I activate this sheet.

I am using the following code to determine whether a given range is the linked cell for a Combo Box by looping through the shapes collection.
Function LocateFormControl(OverRange As Range) As Shape
Dim objTemp As Shape
For Each objTemp In OverRange.Parent.Shapes
If Left(objTemp.name, 6) = "Drop D" Then
If WorksheetFunction.Substitute(objTemp.ControlFormat.linkedcell, "$", "") = WorksheetFunction.Substitute(OverRange.Address, "$", "") Then
Set LocateFormControl = objTemp
Exit Function
End If
End If
Next
Set LocateFormControl = Nothing
End Function
However, when I use this code on big worksheets with many other shape objects (such as Comments), the program runs very slowly. Is there a ComboBoxes Collection that I could use to avoid looping through all shapes on the worksheet, or is there a different, faster way to run this code?

I have a piece of code I am using to important data from a text file. The code works fine but I am having a hard time understanding how defining a Variable "As New Collection" works. I have tried to research on numerous websites dedicated to excel but had no luck finding any further information.
I have executed the code line-by-line over-and-over and believe what the "new collection" does is it creates some type of external database that is hidden within excel (that's just my guess). I have attached a sample file and a text file with dummy data if needed to see how the code is working.

I have a large table (20,000 plus entries) and I need a way to pull out data that matches criteria in buckets.
For example:
April data (column B) that is from 0 to 30 (column C)
April data (column B) that is from 31 to 45 (column C)
... 46 to 60
... 61 to 75
... 75 to infiniti
Then do it again for May, June, July, etc. I have used DCOUNTs to pull this type of data, but it's a bit cumbersome. Any other ways to pull this type of data from the table?

I am attempting to create a double-entry accounting system and am having trouble with my Transaction class (clsTransaction). As each transaction will consist of at least two entries, I have included a Collection in clsTransaction that will accept Entry objects (clsEntry) as items. The Add method appears to go ahead without a hitch, but when I output the values from the Entries I get the same values for all items in the collection. Here is the code I've been working on.
The Transaction Class
clsTransaction - (Class Module)
Option Explicit
Dim mcolEntries As Collection
Dim msDescription As String
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
Set mcolEntries = New Collection
End Sub
Public Sub Add(eItem As clsEntry)
mcolEntries.Add eItem
End Sub........................

I have a userform with three checkboxes on it. In the manuals I have read (and websites I am learning from) I have encountered articles that give me the impression that it is possible to create a collection of almost any object, and then quickly return properties about the collection as a whole. So, I am wondering, is it possible (or even appropriate) to group the checkboxes on this userform into a collection, and then, with a few lines of code, see if any of them are checked? If this is not possible, or efficient, is there another way to do it? I'll admit that three IF statements are not all that hard to enter, but I know the day is coming when I will make userforms with many more checkboxes in them.

I have a separate sheet(Coverage.jpg) that records some data which at this stage has to be entered manually.
The data comes from another sheet(officers.jpg), each row is 1 flight and the days are usually separated by a blank or grayed row.
I was wondering is there a formula that will collect the data automatically.
As you will see on Coverage.jpg it is broken down into Number of flights(per day), how many flights were covered by 2 or more officers and how many covered by 1 officer.. and then the graph generates off the data.
Is there a formula or something that will enter the per day data?
I have just added some false data to show you how some things get recorded.
