Reference Chart By Name That Is Not On Active Sheet
Feb 21, 2009
I am trying to select cells, tables and charts by just knowing their name. Thus if possible I would like to only refer to a chart by its name i.e. not know what worksheet they are on. This seems to work for named ranges of cells/tables, but not charts (I can't get my named charts to appear in the "Define Name" dialog).
I found this code that loops through charts on the activesheet and shows the names. However, I would much prefer not to have to specify the sheet or to loop through all the sheets trying to locate the one with the named chart.
Public Sub GetEmbeddedCharts()
Dim myChart As ChartObject
Dim myCharts As ChartObjects
Set myCharts = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects
For Each myChart In myCharts
Debug.Print myChart.Chart.Name
Next
End Sub

I currently have the following macro running to set a chart's data values:
Sub C3Quarter12013()
'
' C3Quarter32013 Macro
'
'
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 2").Activate
ActiveChart.PlotArea.Select
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = _
[Code] ......
When I copy the tab and change some of the data within the cells, I want the macro refer to the chart on the current tab and the values in the current tab - as currently it refers to only "Chart 2" and the values in the tab 'Figure 2 - WE OPH'.
I've tried changing the sheet name to ActiveSheet.name but that doesn't seem to work.

For example, a cell on the screen is blank. When the page is printed, the "blank cell" has printed text.
I checked "format cells" and it shows word wrap, merge cells, and left to right.
I was told to "un-merge" the cells. I did that and I still have the problem.
The color on all the cells is OK at a blue shade. When I look at print preview the cells are blank, but when the sheet is printed, the text shows.
Also, it looks like there are 2-3 cells inside the main cell.
I hope I have explained this properly, it is not easy to use the correct language to describe since I am not very good at using Excel.

I'm using a macro to paste a formulae into a destination cell on another worksheet.
The problem is that I need the Macro to put the name of the active sheet into the formulae
VB:
Sheets("Front").Select
Range("E1").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Range("E3").Select
ActiveCell.Formula=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MATCH(9E+99+306,*****ActiveSheet.Name*****!F:F,1),6,4))
The macro has to work whis way becuse I will be using it with multiple worksheets, all with different names.

I have been trying to create a macro in excel to chart a selection of data and to output the chart on the active sheet where the data was taken (as opposed to a named sheet). So basically, I have about 300 worksheets with data, and I would like to have a button on each page that automatically charts that data when clicked, and outputs the chart to the page where the macro was clicked. However, I have not been able to figure out a relative reference that will allow me to make the LocationasObject reference simply the ActiveSheet as opposed to a specifically named sheet. See my code below, which references an output to a worksheet called "Charts". Right now, all of my charts are outputting to the sheet called "Charts", as opposed to the active sheet.
Sub ConsDiscChart()
ActiveCell.Offset(29, 11).Range("A1").Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1:B1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Range("A1:C24").Select
Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Charts"
With ActiveChart
.HasTitle = False
.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False
End With
End Sub

I am copying the entire contents of a worksheet onto a blank worksheet multiple times. The problem occurs with the charts which need updating once copied to reference the new worksheet name. I have tried stepping through each chart and then each SeriesCollection but it seems to fall over part way through.

Sheet1 contains a chart using a dynamic name in Source Data: Values. The dynamic name data is controlled by another cell. When I copy the sheet - i.e. Sheet1 (2) - and change the control cell, the Source Data: Values in the copied sheet still refers to the original Sheet1.

I want to arrange a dataset in blocks of 8 lines and for this I need to refer to the actual row of the active cell. Below code does not work - the "Row" does not change as the active cell moves down through the rows

I've got 3 columns say A,B,C. Column C (row1) = Column A (row1) * Column B (row1). I'm trying to apply this formula to all the cells in Column C. I've tried typing the following formula in all of column C. =OFFSET(ActiveCell,0,-1) * OFFSET(ActiveCell,0,-2)
Obviously the ActiveCell reference doesn't work. This would be simple in VBA but here on excel how would I reference to the cell itself where the formula is contained?

I would like to fill data in table on another worksheet, lets call it Sheet2 that starts with the activecell from Sheet1 and then use offsets. The activecell changes, but the remaining offsets for rows and cells always remain the same. I am pretty sure , I can figure it out this out using VBA, but is there a formula way to do this? Either looking at the activecell from Sheet1 as a start or using formatting like bold the start cell?

I've attached a chart with variance data for each month of the year. I've used an IF formula to "NA" the months with no data, so nothing shows up in the chart. However, I would like to know if it's possible to have the chart only show months with data. The IF formula gets rid of the data point but it doesn't prevent the chart from showing the month on the X axis. In the attached file I manually selected the three months with data.

My company has complicated time sheets because we have several tasks that are billed differently to different people. Once a month we have to sit down and compile everything from several forms and so forth. I have created a worksheet that pulls all the numbers together so that they can simply be copied and pasted into our reports. The hope was to simply copy this worksheet into a time sheet workbook and it will pull out all of the correct numbers. Although all the time sheet workbooks are set up the same way, whenever I copy the file into another time sheet workbook the program keeps its references from the workbook it was in. Make sense? is there a formula that I can insert into an array to tell it to pull the information from the worksheet with the same name, but in the active workbook?
here is one of the equations I am working with:
{=TRANSPOSE('1st week'!A10:L48)}
so it would look something like this maybe
{=TRANSPOSE('[active workbook]1st week'!A10:L48)} but this doesn't work of course.

What I have is a sheet that is copied periodically from some source sheet, and on this sheet is a table. This sheet is called "Onsite Checklist Template" and it's table is titled "Checklist". I also have another sheet called "Loggers and Initial Notes" which has a tabled titled "Record", and then finally a title sheet call "Proj Details".
To clear this intro up - The sheets, in their order, is: "Proj Details", "Loggers and Initial Notes", "Onsite Checklist Template". The tables: "Record" on "Loggers..." and "Checklist" on "Onsite..."
When the user wants to make a new site visit, he/she fills in the requested date and then selects a button on "Proj...". When this button is selected, it copies the table data on "Record" and puts it on "Checklist", then inserts a new worksheet tab, always in the 3rd position (the title is based on the site visit date in which the user entered), which is a copy of "Onsite...". Now we have another sheet with a table called "Checklist1", and upon another new site visit, there will be another worksheet with "Checklist2", and so on.
On the "Onsite..." worksheet, there is a button on it which also gets copied with the worksheet so that every new worksheet has this copied "Checklist ???" and this button. I'm looking for a macro that, when the button is selected, will bounce the active sheet's table "Checklist ???" off of "Record" and make changes as needed.
"Checklist ???" data range is B11:M20 (the header is on row 10); "Record" data range is B29:Q78 (the header is on row 28); Column headers are titled the same, just that "Record" has 4 extra columns, 3 in the middle and 1 on the end. "Checklist ???" columns 1-12 to "Record" columns 1-7, 10-12, 14-15. The search criteria is the 4th column in both tables ("Trk #").
I need the macro to do the following:If it finds a match, then update "Record" as needed with data from "Checklist ???", changing whatever cell is different in the row that contains the matching "Trk #", so long as the cell on "Checklist ???" is populated (i.e, if a cell on the target row of "Record" has a value, but it's blank on "Checklist ???", then "Record" wins; if it's blank on "Record", but populated on "Checklist ???", the Checklist wins. If both populated but different, then Checklist wins.If a "Trk #" exists on "Checklist ???" but is not on "Record" then add the line to "Record" (the 1st empty row, table size remains)I see no need for any "delete" at this time.
My concerns: The last column on record (column #16) is the filtering column for the worksheet copy event and needs to be left alone (it's formulated to produce a "Yes" or "No")I would like the ability to adjust table sizes if needed without modifying the macroThe table rows on "Checklist ???" will not be changed, deleted, or altered in any way by the macro.

I'm trying to create a copy of the active sheet and then rename the new copied sheet to what's in cell O4, which is a formula (see below) and then paste value cell O4 in B3 of the copied sheet. However, when I run this macro it doesn't seem to like the second line where I am renaming the sheet (run time error '1004').
"O4" =DATE(YEAR($B$3),MONTH($B$3)+1,DAY($B$3))
Sub NewMonth()
ActiveSheet.Copy Before:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = Range("O4").Value
ActiveSheet.Range("O4").Copy
ActiveSheet.Range("B3").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

I have a button on a sheet that runs a macro to unhide another sheet. That works, but I want the sheet made visible to remain forward. Instead, the button unhides the sheet and the sheet the button is on comes forward again. I am unable to figure how to keep the sheet made visible forward. Here is the macro 'as recorded'.
Sub UnhideSheet1()
Sheet2.Visible = True

I am trying to create a chart that will allow the user to add/remove series to compare with each other. When adding a series, Excel gives it a name (e.g Series1) the macro is then set to rename it to a particular cell, however the name Excel gives the series varies depending on the order in which the series are added.
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(SeriesCollection.Count)
instead of
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1)
would work collect the last series added, which is what I want, but when I apply this I get an run-time '424' error.

I have a userform in my workbook with a button to access it on twenty different sheets in the workbook. Currently the userform will only populate the sheet titled "Blank1". How can I change it so it will populate the active sheet without naming it? So no matter what sheet I'm on when I hit the submit button the userform will populate only the sheet I selected the button on? See macro below.
Code:
Private Sub OKButton_Click()
