I work with data that varies in row numbers but is consisten in column width. I am trying to write code that will create a named range for the data but be flexible to expand or contract based on the amount of data that is pulled in. Below is the
Const lngLastPossRow As Long = 65536
Dim strDataRng As String
strDataRng = ActiveSheet.Name & "!R4C1:R" & Range("a" & lngLastPossRow).End(xlUp).Row & "C17"
Range(Selection, ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)).Select
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:=("Data"), RefersToR1C1:= _
strDataRng
While the result creates a named range called "Data" , it does not allow me to reference and data in any formulas ( sumif's, etc). Can someone tell me what I am missing. It appears to be returning the wrong data type (string as opposed to range values).
I have 100s of name ranges in my spreadsheet. I am using a series of drop down boxes for the user to select the info that they want to see. Based on the dropdown box, the macro "dynamically generates" a range name from which to pull the info.
For instance, if they Select Manager = Terry, Analyst 1, and Month = Jan, then the range name would be JanTA1
The if statement would dynamically create this name by concatenating the info
If manager = Terry mnger = "TA" if analyst = 1 anlyst = 1 if month = Jan mnth = "Jan"
rangename = mnth & mnger & anlyst
So, I am dynamically creating the range name based on user selections...then to display it, I want to set the display cell = to the value
I attach an example worksheet with the code I have thus far.
In my workbook I have other sheets, one of which changes and updates a specific one each time a new client's data is entered on said other sheet. Because I want to save the specific client's data and not lose it when another client's stuff is entered on this other sheet, I copy the sheet where the data is summarised (I called this sheet "Sheet to Copy From") to a newly inserted sheet and use Paste Special, Values Only to change all functions /f ormulae / Links ect to values.
I then change the name of the sheet to the name of the client.
I then use this sheet name / cell value to polulate a range on another sheet (Next Empty Cell) as a Hyperlink to the newly created sheet above. This sheet I called "Table of Contents".
how to code the hyperlink. Using Macro Recorder uses the specific case's names, but the Tab name to be used as Hyperlink value will always be the name of a new client,
I have a few dozen pictures created when a macro runs. They all have unique names. I'd like to add comments to cells, where the cell.value decides which picture to pull. All the examples I've found online show how to do this if you have pictures saved on your hard drive by referencing the file path "c://mydocs/...blahblah/"
Is there a way to reference the pictures I've created/named with my macro?
Here's the snippet of code that creates the pictures and names them:
Code: For i = 2 To Application.CountA(Sheets("Allocation").Rows(1)) Sheets("Allocation").Activate Set rInput = Sheets("Allocation").Range(Cells(1, i), Cells(10, i)) sPicName = "_" & Sheets("Allocation").Cells(1, i) & "_" sSheet = Sheets("Allocation").Cells(3, i) dDate = Sheets("Allocation").Cells(5, i)
[Code] ......
Here are some examples that are close to what I'm looking for.

I have a list of names in a single cell. They are all seperated by a comma, then a space. Example would be: John Smith, Steve Wilson, Wallace O Malley, etc. What formula could I use to pull out the names individually, starting from the farthest right?
How to assign a "WS(i)" worksheet name and have the assigned variable (i) in the name equal the consecutive steps in a total page count.
Here's the code that does not work:
Code: Dim WB as Workbook Dim WS as Worksheet
Set WB = ThisWorkbook For i = 1 To WB.Sheets.Count Set WS(i) = WB.Sheets(i) Next
I can see why it does not work. I can't figure out what to declare in my Dim or how to word the statement using the (i) variable in order to capture the value to attach to "WS."
Details: The issue is that the number of pages created will vary day to day depending on staff needs. There's an array of staff names to be assigned to page tabs and there will be skips and deletions along the way depending on daily attendance so "WS(i)" worksheet names can't be assigned at creation. What happens if they are is that the succession of worksheet names winds up being (e.g.) "WS1, WS2, WS5, WS12," etc. instead of consecutive.
There's a very complex data-sort-and-assign system that depends upon how many staff-assigned sheets there are, and as such each sheet has to have a "WS" worksheet name for the process to stay smooth. If the names are not consecutive, though, the sort-and-assign process becomes confused. This step takes place at the end of the initial workbook set up process, immediately before the data are addressed, so there really isn't an earlier opportunity. It can't be later since from this point on the system depends upon the "WS(i)" names being there.
It started fine when there were 5 people. Now there are 37.
Basically I have a list that user can select up to 6 values from. I have set them as individual strings.
Code: Public IH1 As String Public IH2 As String Public IH3 As String Public IH4 As String Public IH5 As String Public IH6 As String
What I want to be able to do is loop through them and do certain actions. How can I get a for statement to do that.
I tried something like that but it doesnt work. How to get it working I need to do tests on the variable strings and I want to be able to reference them and I'm not sure sure how
Code: For i = 1 To 6 If "IH" & i = vbNullString Then Else MsgBox "IH" & i End If
I'm having trouble finding a way to switch between two workbooks that I have open whose names are stored as variables. If the variable name were variable, for example, I have tried the following:
I have set up a number of arrays e.g. DataSetA (1 to 100), DataSetB (1 to 100) etc.
Is it possible to use a string variable (e.g. DataIndentifier) to identify and assign values to certain arrays.
For example, under certain conditions
DataIdentifier would be set to "DataSetA" and under other conditions DataIdentifier would be set to "DataSetB".
Having done this, I want to assign values such as DataIdentifier(1) = 3.4 or DataIdentifier (10) = 6.2 etc.
This obviously won't work because DataIdentifier is defined as a string not an array. How do I enable the string DataIdentifier to be used as an identifier for the array I want to assign values to? Therefore if DataIdentifier is set to "DataSetA" then effectively I want something like "DataIdentifier(1) = 3.4" to assign 3.4 to the array DataSetA(1).
I am trying to to work out how to compare two string variables that I can see with my eyes are clearly a match but getting the right syntax to convince VBA they are the same is my issue.The first example is:
Direct Credit 158824 BRANDON DONNA C/ Lak30
the second example is:
Direct Credit 158824 BRANDON DONNA C/ 30 Lake Vue Parade
but that still would not get a match that I can find code for.
i am chasing the "holy grail" in VBA and I will leave the records that do not exactly match to manual processing although i hate to give up that easily
I have recently come across a VBA macro, which reads from a text box within an excel input sheet, copy the text content, and send it via email. However, when the text content started to go beyond a certain number of characters, the text that comes out of the email, got truncated. I presumed this is something to do with the limitation to the string variables where the string " messagebody$ " which is used to read the text can only take up a certain bytes.
I was looking for VBA help, and somehow, it mentioned something called a variable-length string. Would that be a solution to my problem, or how is that used ?
On to what brought me here; I have a spreadsheet with a column containing an address, eg '12 SMITH ST SOMESUBURB NSW 2001'. I'm looking at splitting this cell in half after the street and moving the second half (suburb state postcode) into the next cell, which i've managed to do with a series on InStr statements.
Now the fun part is that not all these addresses are streets, some are avenues (AV or AVE), roads (RD), place (PL), drive (DR or DRV) etc. Initially i just did this:
I made the formula work great, however I want to cut it down and simplify it and make it easier to manipulate... as opposed to having the filename written every so many times.. replace with a loop instead.... so:
Private Sub Weeklytestt_Click() Dim varCurDate As String If DateYesterday.Value = True Then Answer = "1" If DateToday.Value = True Then Answer = "2" If DateTyped.Value = True Then Answer = "3"
Select Case Answer Case Is = "1" varCurDate = Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") varCurDate = varCurDate - 1 Case Is = "2" varCurDate = Format(Date, "yyyymmdd")..........
I've a big problem getting the Constraints in excel solver to use variables. It seems that the only accepted variable type in the contraints are STRING variables. THe following simple example works AS LONG AS the variable apa is a STRING value and as long as it doesn't contain decimals....
So the question is. How to use varialbes in the FormulaText argement other than string values as integers?
I am trying to create a function in VBA that will return a range, but I don't want the range to point to cells on a spreadsheet. I want the range to return a vba created range. Is this possible or impossible? Is a variable of type range required to point to cells on a spreadsheet?
Sub AA() Dim ReportFileName As String Cells(1, 19).Select ReportFileName = ActiveCell.Value ChDir "C:" Workbooks.Open Filename:=ReportFileName _ End Sub
And this doesn't work?
Sub BB() Dim ReportFileName As String Cells(1, 19).Select ReportFileName = ActiveCell.Value CC End Sub Sub CC() ChDir "C:" Workbooks.Open Filename:=ReportFileName _ End Sub
Somehow it seems that the value of the string "ReportFileName" is forgotten when running the subroutine CC. How do I make it not "forget" the file name?
I have a spreadsheet with cognitive tests (approx 300) that have been given names like
w3_th_e w4_th_e dkefs_TMT1_e pegboard_eh_e
What I need is a VBA macro that replaces the _e only at the end of the string to _ss for those strings that begins with w3_, w4_ and DKEFS_ (e.g. from w3_th_e to w3_th_ss)
Likewise I want to replace only the _e at the end of the string on all other names (e.g. pegboard_eh_e) with _t (e.g. from pegboard_eh_e to pegboard_eh_t) Is this possible?
I have a list of names in the A column of the sheet. I wish to use the input string, a new name, of a vba box to insert into the column of existing names in alphabetical order by inserting an entire row, which I suspect will be the case anyway. Also 'Return' key doesn't seem to be inserting a CR on the page that I typed this request upon.
I used a macro to get the following code, but would like to do this with VBA code where I use variables and numbers instead of the macro's ("I568:J568") notation. Thus I would have something like (lRow, 9) : (lRow, 10) or whatever the correct notation is. Basically I'm trying to copy and paste formulas from one row to the next.
I am trying to sum the range of column B (Being the found match in column A offset 1) to the relevant column set by the variable intcolumn (integer value of the column matching the criteria (in this case column 25)
I'm trying to create a simple checkbook application for a friend. I've gotten pretty much everything I want figured out except for two functions, which are basically the same thing. I'm trying to find the sum of all deposits and of all withdrawals based on two entered dates.
Basically, they enter the dates, and the formula finds the dates, then sums all the deposits/withdrawals between them. I attached the workbook with some sample data in case I wasn't really clear.
I am doing some work in which I need a very flexible tool. I will be doing regression analysis on thousands of funds at a time. I need to define the range for each fund by a count function that counts the number of monthly returns that are posted. The code I have so far is below (I underlined where the references use variables):
I'm trying to use a range(Cells1),(Cells2) all working fine, but now I'm trying to use variables for the Row selection. selection.row as one of the variables, but keep on getting a error.
Code: Sub Clear_Time() Dim Rng As Range Dim pointer As Integer pointer = Worksheets("Summary").Range("Z1").Value Worksheets("SubPanel").Range((Cells(10, pointer)), (Cells(52, pointer))).Find(What:="").Activate
How to decide the two range object variant represent the same range? Plz check the following code, How to decide Rng4 and Rng5 is or not the same range?
Sub IsTheSameRange() With ActiveSheet LastRow = .Cells(65536, "B").End(xlUp).Row Set Rng1 = .Range(.Cells(3, "K"), .Cells(LastRow, "K")) Set Rng2 = .Range(.Cells(3, "AE"), .Cells(LastRow, "AE")) Set Rng3 = .Range(.Cells(3, "BQ"), .Cells(LastRow, "BQ")) Set Rng = Application.Union(Rng1, Rng2, Rng3) Set Rng4 = Rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, 23) Set WhlRng = .Range("A3:DR" & LastRow) Set Rng5 = WhlRng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, 23) End With End Sub
I'm trying to edit the predefined range in my macro that changes formulas to values. My current macro looks like this:
Dim vCol As Variant vCol = Application.InputBox("Select Column", Type:=2) If vCol = False Or vCol = "" Then Exit Sub Set UserRange = Range(vCol & "9:" & vCol & "35") UserRange.Value = UserRange.Value End Sub
I tried extending the range to include 48:53, but it doesn't work. I tried with this: Set UserRange = Range(vCol & "9:" & vCol & "35" & vCol & "48:" & vCol & "53")
I am trying to select rows using constants I have set-up so that I can then delete those rows. However I don't know how to set-up the row formula to accept the constants. So far I have something like
Dim a As Integer Dim b As Integer row(a:b).select selection.delete
I have inherited an Excel workbook in which the formlas all contain cell names (and there are thousands of names in this book). I need to find a way to change from using cell names in a formula back to a standard absolute cell reference but have no idea how to do this?
