I'm trying to use the contents of a cell as a range in my code
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
Dim Target As Range
'the cell containing the contents i want
Range("P11").Select
Target = ActiveCell.Value
Range("P9").copy Target
End Sub
Does it read in the value as a string? If so how do i get around this?
I went to rerun an old macro that i ran fine before and it is now working not so fine and was wondering if anyone could lend me a hand in figuring it out because i know it's something stupid and simple.
this code
Workbooks("SUMMARY OF LSC.xls").Activate
Sheets("FACILITY DATA IN EUR").Select
For i = 2 To lastrowA
Sheets("FACILITY DATA IN EUR").Select
If Range("F" & i & "").Value = "Y" And Range("AR" & i & "").Value <> 0 Then
Sheets("FACILITY DATA IN EUR").Range("A" & i).Copy
Sheets(" lookups").Select
Sheets("lookups").Range("A" & lastrow1 + 1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Sheets("lookups").Range("E" & lastrow2 + 1).Select
is giving me a Run-time error '13': Type mismatch and i have no idea why it would be. any suggestions? the variables are set to double.
the values in column F is either Y or N and in column AR is either 0.00 or a number like 11111.11.
I have a table where sometimes cells are merged. To the right they are not merged, but I need to link to the value of the merged cell. How can I do it if I don't want to do it manually?
Example:
Say A1:A4 is merged, A5 is just normal. I want a formula using those values, say in B1:B5. Now just filling down the formula would reference A1, A2 and so forth. This is wrong.
I'm working within a nested FOR loop. If you notice when I'm Assigning "ECD" I'm trying to average the cells from J (which is row 1) and column 11 to column 12. It keeps on telling me "Application-Defined or object-defined error".
Code:
Sub copytab()
Dim WSName As String
Dim NumbSheets As Integer
Dim NextRow As Integer
Dim i As Integer
[Code] .......
I have an excel file connected to a digital reader. Values are inputted to cells. What I can't figure out is the formula to automatically insert the values into the desired cells.
In short. First value goes to A1, 2nd value goes to B1. There's a formula (=A1-B1) in C1. The 3rd value from the reader should go to A2. The 4th value to B2. The 5th value to A3 and so on. I believe that I should be putting a formula into B1,2,3..n. What I can't figure out is that formula.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write code that looks at the range W(rowid):Z(rowid) and lists each cell value in a listbox. The row id is coming from the listindex of combobox1. I know the rowid part is correct and working because other operations in my worksheet are using it fine. Here's what I've written so far:
With Worksheets("DATA")
For I = 0 To 4
ListBox3.AddItem .Range("W" + I & rowid)

View 10 Replies View RelatedI want to read all the folders names in a folder.
So for example c:win estfolder
And in test folder there are 5 more folders named test1,test2 etc.
I want to be able to give the path c:win estfolder and let VBA excel read all the names of the folders inside the folder testfolder.
I have found some methodes on the web, but those are for files like .txt etc.
The following code reads text one character at a time, and each character is determined either to be a blank space or to be any other character. If it's determined to be any other character, then the character is added to the active cell. If it's determined to be a blank space, then the active cell becomes the cell one column over. The idea is to have different words written in columns next to each other.
The sample text file I'm reading from reads: "text file". The file has only those two words. One space between them. No space before the first word, and no space after the second word. The following code compiles and runs. BUT the result is that the word "text" is in column k, not A. And the word "file" is in column J, not b.
I have a drop down list in my excel sheet that contains names of manufacturers. What i would like to do (using vba) is display some details of each manufacturer that will be copied from a different sheet.
So my question is, how can i read the string from the drop down list on one sheet and then copy a cell from another sheet.
I am building a data base. I have a tab where you fill out of a form and then click an activeX command button to write to the data base. I am wondering if there is a way to record how many times to button is pushed. Each time the button is pushed, I want to record the data from the form into a single row in the data base without writing over old data but I do not know how to read how many rows of data are already there.

I have a spreadsheet with about 200 lines or records and I have added a checkbox to the end of each record. I need to the code to check the checkbox on each line to make a decision on how to process the data, but I do not want to read in a True or False value for 200 check boxes in every step of the loop. I think I'm close but I can't get the following to work...
This is basically what I want:

I get an error when I hit the IF me.Shapes..... line

Is it possible for VBA to read data from a clipboard so that it knows what sheet to paste the data to? Currently we run a financial tool and 2 reports are ran and I put in a bottom so users could easily just paste special values into the correct place. Sometimes the users forget if they copied the balance sheet data or income statement data and currently its not a big deal because there are no columns to the right of where it is pasting so it isn't screwing anything up and they just delete the data and paste it to the correct sheet.
I have thought of 2 approaches I am going to take, but started to wonder if one could read the data from the clipboard before the paste.
My 2 options would be:
Option 1. Paste data to newly created sheet and check if it is balance sheet or income statement and then move from newly created sheet to correct sheet and delete newly created sheet. The user wouldn't see any of this because I would disable screen updating.
Option 2. Learn how to use Undo within my VBA or keep the Undo cache with items in it as it typically clears when VBA is executed. That way if they paste it and it is wrong I can just undo the VBA paste.
Option 1 I am confident I can handle. Option 2 I can research and feel I could do, but if it comes a time when a sheet has data I do not want to paste over then this option is no good.
I would like to hear any comments or feedback on this and if it is possible to read data off the clipboard so it knows where to paste.
I need a little bit of help here ... I can read and process a .txt file from my Excel VBA program, but I am having trouble as follows :
The file I am reading contains a number of heading lines, followed by a number of data lines.
All of the data lines end in a date, so I can use the code ...
If IsNumeric(Right(MyDSRec, 1)) Then
... to pick up the data lines & ignore the heading lines. This is fine and works perfectly.
However, the .txt file that I receive is out of my control, and is prone to error, in that the data line occasionally has what I assume is a "Tab" character after the last date, which means that the line above does not recognise the last character as being numeric.
If you double click "06" at the end of each line on the example below, you should be able to see what I mean (in the .txt document, if I place the cursor at the end and press backspace, all characters at the end are deleted, back to the 06, so they are not individual spaces) ...

1. how the array works,
2. how i can read values into an array and
3. how can i 'paste' or call the array at a later stage.
how would you read consuctive dates as one
example
person is sick on 10/9/06 and on 10/10/06 . i want that to be read as one sick. now if the person is sick on 10/09/06 and then sick on 10/11/06 that would be read as 2 sicks.
what i need is the consective dates to read then one to read the dates that are not consectutive . giving a total for each one.
i am trying to read the file name in a specific folder through macro of my EXCEL application. i wondered that it is reading that file name in all Lower case.
Ex: the file name in the folder is "Ford of Pompano.xls" when i am reading that name from macro, it is giving me as "ford of pompano.xls". Do i need to change any default settings in EXCEL so that it can read the files names what ever is presend in the folder
I need a formula that will be able to show what shift someone is on if the shift changes, for example. if one of my employees shift changes from and 8hr to a 10 hr on january 16th 2014 then I would like the raw sheet to show the old shift, the new shift and when the new shift started (date). the index formula I have will only show one shift even if there are new dates with a different shift. the formula pulls from the sheet name editor.
i really want the shifts to be different if it was change on a certain date then from that date the employee shift will reflect new shift but still keep the previous shift prior to the day the new shift started.
I've attached a sample workbook to show.

SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(E10:E29,E10:E29)>0,1)). this is the formula I currently use to read employee numbers and it works when we just use the number i.e. 011004. When we use the full employee number with alpha characters it does not work i.e. ASMO011004. I have used helper cells to do similar, but am not wanting to do this way for simplicity reasons.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a .csv file that contains numerical data in the form of strings, much of which starts with leading zeros (i.e. "012345"). I double checked to make sure the .csv file has the leading zeros and that they are wrapped in quotation marks in notepad, and it does. However, when Excel opens the file, it must read those strings as numbers, becuase it chops off the zeros. Does anyone know of way to fix this? Can Excel read numbers as strings straight from a .csv file?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using VBA to open several files and pull information from them into a workbook with the hopes of eventually outputting the information to a formatted text file that can be uploaded to a data transfer system that will fill out a form for me. The problem I am finding is that the workbook that I need to access has faulty VBA code that executes everytime the workbook is opened. I realize the easiest solution would be to fix the code that is faulty however the workbook that I am accessing is automatically generated for each product with the faulty code embedded requiring me to handle the error on the back end. Attached is my code and I attempted using error trapping to handle this issue but I've concluded that I either lack understanding of error trapping or the fact that the error is in a cascaded workbook complicates the error trapping code.

I have a list of client names with their respective numbers on a sheet 1 and I have a list of jumbled client names with the names repeated in the next sheet 2. I would like to retrieve the client number from the data sheet and display the number for that respective client name in the second sheet
Sheet 1:
Client Number Client Name
1 David
2 Tom
3 Suzan
4 Richard
Sheet 2:
Client Name Client Number
Richard
Tom
David
Suzan
Richard
Tom
David
I want the program to retrieve the client number for the names from sheet 1 and display it accordingly in sheet 2. For eg:- it should retrieve Richard's client number as 4 from sheet 1 and display digit 4 next to richard's name in the client number column. I have attached the sample document.
When I read a CSV file into a recordset, the headers are not all being read. I get gaps in the headers for whatever reason. Attached below is the Function to load the recordset from the file. I have hard coded Hdr to "No" in the connection string.
Code:
Function QueryByID(tableName As String, fieldToQuery As String, Target As Long, Hdr As String) As Recordset
Dim strFilePath, strFileName, strQuery As String
Dim oFSObj, oConn As Object
Dim oRs As Recordset
Dim f, lastRow As Integer
[Code] .......
The below is how I output the resultset:
Code:
Sub OutputResultSet(aTable As String)
Dim row, col, i, j As Integer
row = 1
col = 1
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(aTable).Activate
[Code] .....
I have triple checked the CSV file and the first row in each file has definitely got headers. Some headers are loaded and output fine, others are just blank.
I have made an invoicing system that when opened reads a record number and also pulls through some data from an excel document on our server. The user then inputs his information and clicks submit and this will write to the excel document updating the invoice no by one for the next invoice the problem is that this is slow as when writing to the excel worksheet it has to open the document update it then close and save the worksheet on the server. I am trying to speed this up by using a access database on the server but I am having trouble trying to work out how to do this as I have never communicated with another type of document. I found some code witch I am trying to modify but It comes up with a 424 error:
