I'm wondering if it is possible to declare a constant in an add in, and then reference that constant from workbooks that use that add in?
Basically I want to set a version number in the add in, and check it from the workbook.
While $ are constants for cells what is the symbol for variables? I guess when I dragged a formula down rows a certain number did not increase so I had to manually up each one as I went down the rows.
View 4 Replies View Relatedhow do you assign a value to the variable to make it available to the module?
I have tried the following without success
Option Explicit
Dim batch As String
Dim folder As String
Dim title As String
batch = Sheets("Day 1"). Range("D1")
folder = "M:CR dim checksRetention"
title = folder & batch
file = title & ".xls"
I am trying to create a set of global variables (or actually constants) that can be used in my program based on two columns found in a spreadsheet. The first column in the spreadsheet contains the name of the variable, and the second column contains its value.
VarName VarValue
Var1 abc
var2 def
var3 ghi
When the program (which is an Add-in) is called by the user, the very first thing that I would like the program to do is to create each variable from the first column and assign the string value from the second column to this variable (or constant).
I am trying to use VB to vlookup between to workbooks
1. Make active workbook WBK1
2. Make workbook being open WBK2
3. Copy and Paste between WBK1 and WBK2
4. Have a vlookup in WBK1 and bring in the values from WBK2
5. Close WKB2
6. Copy, Paste, and transpose values in wkb1 within wkb1
The script works fine until it reaches the vlookup step. I have used the vlookup by itself without the copy and paste code successfully but when I combine the two it provides me with the error 9. Subscript out of range.

I have written some VBA code that is functional, but yields a formula that is somewhat confusing to the user.
I have two string variables called TippityTop and Anchor, both of which refer to specific cell addresses in the R1C1 style.
I attempted to define other variables that reference cells that are offset from TippityTop and Anchor without using the ActiveCell route. Try as I might, I could not produce the cell addresses that I wanted these new variables to reference.
I consulted many Excel Help screens and referred to a book on Excel VBA, but I finally took another route.
I now have:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF(AND(ISNA(MATCH(RC[-2],OFFSET(" & TippityTop & ",1,-2):OFFSET(" & Anchor & ",-2,-2),0)>0),ROUND(RC[-1],2)0),""DOV not in Treasury"","""")"
The problem is that this code yields this formula in Excel:
=IF(AND(ISNA(MATCH(L587,OFFSET($H$585,1,-2):OFFSET($H$798,-2,-2),0)>0),ROUND(M587,2)0),"DOV not in Treasury","")
Rather than OFFSET($H$585,1,-2):OFFSET($H$798,-2,-2), I would like the formula to say F586:F796, so that the end user can easily understand the logic.
I have the following macro, which works fine (extraneous code not shown)...
For I = Start_ROW To Last_ROW_Z
Range("A" & I & " : " & "O" & I).Copy
But I want to make the "O" column identifier dynamic. So I've defined the column with the dimension...
Last_COL_Tracking = Sheets(" Tracking").Range("IV" & Start_ROW).End(xlToLeft).Column - 1
But this returns a column number, not the letter, so I can't use it in my original formula.
I tried converting to R1C1 with the formula...
Range ("R[" & I & "]C[1]:R[" & I & "]C[" & Last_COL_Tracking & "]")
...but this errors out.
I want see if it's possible to take the name of the source workbook and put it in a cell in my destination workbook and then use that as the reference in formulas. The source document title includes a date that changes yearly, or in some instances changes entirely, and I want to keep the formulas in the destination workbook intact. I don't want to have to go to every instance where I have used the source workbook and change the title. Instead I would like to copy the source workbook title, paste it into the destination in the same cell and have that propogate the needed changes into the destination workbook formulas.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to create a variable that will be TRUE/FALSE based upon whether the user has made changes to a certain range without running a specific macro. Basically, if they change cells in a certain range, the 'Update' macro must be run. I want this variable to be False if the cells have changed without running 'Update' and then when 'Update' runs, it sets the variable back to True.
I've been able to make this work with a Public variable, but if the user closes the workbook, the variable resets to False. Is there a way to create a variable that will be remember even if the workbook closes?
I am using heavily formula based modelling workbooks and I need to know how to search for variables (inputs) in these workbooks as they contain many thousand rows and it would take ages to go through line by line looking for these variables
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook "Weekly Field Report-Master Copy" and another workbook "Weekly Field Report $$$-Master" The "Weekly Field Report $$$-Master" workbook has all the formulas that pull data from the "Weekly Field Reports-Master Copy" workbook and populates a financial report of that week's field unit production.
When I save the "Weekly Field Report-Master Copy" workbook to a new name "Weekly Field Report Job #1" and then save the "Weekly Field Report $$$-Master Copy" workbook to a new name "Weekly Field Report $$$-Job #1" is there a way to automatically change the formulas in the "Weekly Field Report $$$-Job #1" workbook to now pull data from the "Weekly Field Report Job #1" workbook instead of the "Weekly Field Report-Master Copy" workbook???
Currently I am manually changing the formulas in the new workbook "Weekly Field Report $$$-Job #1" to reference the data in the new workbook "Weekly Field Report Job #1". Otherwise the formulas pull the data from the "Weekly Field Report-Master Copy".
I have a macro running in a workbook that gathers some data (a date, a string and a few arrays). Towards the end of this macro, I need it to open another workbook and run a macro that sits in this other workbook, using the data from the first workbook. I then need it to return some results (several integers) back to the first macro to be pasted into the first workbook.
I gather that I can't use 'Call' as the second macro is in another workbook.
I've found that I can use Application.Run but I'm unsure how to carry variables back and forth using this.
How to move the variables between macros / workbooks using the Application.Run option, or maybe another way of doing things?
Can you declare a const as an array in VBA? For example, let's say I wanted to define an array of ORDINALS:
Const ORDINALS(0 to 9) = ("0th","1st","2nd","3rd","4th","5th","6th","7th","8th","9th")
Can a macro be provided for selecting cells (including hidden) in the active sheet which are :
1. Totally consants ie not used in formula either in same sheet or other sheets
2. Constants ie figures used in formula in the same sheet and/or other sheets
I declared a constant like so:
Public Const iFirstRow As Integer = 6
I figured that any time I used this, at least in the same module, its value would be 6, but it was 0.
I changed it to ModuleName.iFirstRow, which seemed to set it straight.
Is this just how it is, or am I doing something wrong that is preventing me from using it without the module name?
I have a Excel budget spreadsheet. I need a running formula I can copy and paste to other month cells.
SUM=Bal+interest+interest1-pmt
=SUM(B11+B4+C11-D11) Interest(B4), interest1(C11) and pmt(D11) are constants. The formula I am using works but it won't copy and paste.
In my company we have many spreadsheets with sections that contain formulas, which may be overwritten with "hard coding", manually entered constants, in certain situations.
Is there a way I can detect the differences between the two types of cells? I would like to setup conditional formatting that would highlight constants in a table that would generally only contains formulas.
I need the SUM function. I know how to use SUM and in one of my workbooks it is used quite a few times, but for two columns it will not add the columns up. In the Q column I have this formula throughout the cells: {=IF(AND($H6="DM",$J6=1),"$100.00","")} and the other column is just about the same (just has different H6 value). Then I have a cell with the formula {=SUM(Q6:Q900)} and the end result is $ -. This formula is used for other columns and it works just fine. I have checked the formatting in all the cells and have changed them to General, Number, Currency, and Accounting. None of those working. I have also checked the Calculation Tab in Tools>Options... and it is set to automatic.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the following formula.
=SUMIFS('Register Sales'!$E$51:$C$2500,'Register Sales'!$C$51:,A2,'Register Sales'!$L$51:$L$2500,D2)
The range changes each month so I want to use a named cell "LastRow" where I can change the number to replace the 2500. How do I use the range name in my formula without giving me a #value# error?
I'm dealing with a lot of spreadsheets put together by people who are not that familiar with Excel. Because of this, there are many instances where the formulas created include constants. For example: = A1 * B1 + 200. I want to create a VBA routine that will cycle through the cells I selected and "flag" those cells that have a constant in the formula.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a function in VBA of the type. Function MyFunc(Indx As Integer, k As Long, Rho As Range, A As Range) As Variant .... End Function
which is called as a user-defined function from within the Excel worksheet. When called with the last two arguments being a range (i.e. Result = MyFunc(1,98,A1:A2, B1:B2)) it works fine. However, when I try to directly use an array constant instead of a range (i.e. Result = MyFunc(1,98,{10,11}, {20,30}), it returns a #VALUE error.
I thought I could fix it by redefining the last two arguments as arrays of type double, but this didn't work either (i.e. Function MyFunc(Indx As Integer, k As Long, Rho() As Double, A() As Double) As Variant .... End Function ).
I have the following code
Call LastCell_Example(LastCell)
lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).row
Set Datarange = ActiveSheet.Range("B1:" & LastCell)
' Set to 0 all cells that contain constants, but ONLY those that are numeric
Datarange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlNumbers) = 0
lastcell_example contains
Dim rng As Range
' Use all cells on the sheet
Set rng = Sheets("Courtage").Cells
' Find the last cell
LastCell = Last(3, rng)
' Select from A1 till the last cell in Rng
With rng.Parent
.Select
.Range("A1", LastCell).Select
End With
When I run the code above, I don't understand the fact that the first rows in the sheet AFTER "Courtage" are also being changed to zero.
Obviously, I'm not limiting my datarange correctly, but could someone explain what I need to do to limit the changed data to ONLY the current sheet.
I try to understand what the syntax is to create and use an array named constant which would be composed of other constant.
Example :
Constant called AvgZone1 which is =AVERAGE(zone1)
Constant called AvgZone2 which is =AVERAGE(zone2)
and then create a named array constant based on the names : =AvgZone1,AvgZone2
is not working. You cannot for example do a SUM().
I'd like to add items on a UserForm1 ComboBoxes in the correct order but I can't. That's because with the code below, in ComboBox6P1 the items are added with mixed order:
For Each thing In .Range("AC6", .Range("AC65536").End(xlUp)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
If Trim(ComboBox4P1.Text) = thing.Value Then
For Each aNew In .Range("AD6", .Range("AD65536").End(xlToRight)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
If aNew.Row = thing.Row Then
ComboBox6P1.AddItem aNew.Value
End If
Next
Exit For
End If
Next
I should add items in ComboBox6P1 in order -> AD6, AE6, AF6, AG6, AH6, the rest are empty cells. Instead of it adds AF6, AG6, AH6, AD6, AE6. When I change .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants) to .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible ) it adds it in the correct order but with another 200 emtpy cells in the ComboBox6P1. The format of the cells is General.
I made a VLOOKUP formula referring to another workbook. The workbook name was 1099.XLS and there was only one worksheet in it, also called 1099.
So the reference I used was [1099.XLS]1099! but I have since realised that Excel changes that as I enter it, to '1099'!
What I would like to know is, is this a one-off action by Exel, and why? Have I used the correct reference in general -
[workbookname.XLS]worksheetname!
and did Excel's actions come about because there was only one worksheet, or because the worksheetname was the same as the workbookname, or what?
Is it possible to use conditional formatting to highlight cells that use formulas, as opposed to having constants?
I have a sheet that uses formulas to provide a default value, but you can type in a number if you want to replace the default. I want to be able to easily identify which ones use the default formula.
If I use functions like FIND, they look at the result of a formula, and not the formula itself.
I know I can write a UDF that will figure it out but I was wondering if there is some built-in way.
I've set up a Named Range that refers to an array of constants, e.g. MyRange ={1,2,3,4,5}. This appears to be fine since I can output the named range to a range of cells in a row (e.g. A1:E1) and see 1,2,3,4,5 (one value in each column).
I'd like to use MyRange as the source for a Data Validation list in a cell.
Normally data validation list sources must be vertical, so I've set MyRange =TRANSPOSE({1,2,3,4,5}). This appears to be fine since I can output the named range to a range of cells in a column (e.g. A1:A5) and see 1,2,3,4,5 (one value in each row).
When I set MyRange as the source for data validation however, it resolves to an error.
why this setup doesn't work?

I am working with a class module and some fields require specific inputs that another coder may not intuitively know. How can I create a list of acceptable conastants that will appear as a drop down when the user is coding with the custom object?
For example:
I am creating an Email Engine object that will handle all my emailing needs in code, because coding emails is such a pain. Then I can just create the blasted thing, import the class module where needed and never have to worry about it again. Some coworkers are interested in using the module for their projects when I am finished. I want to put an option for message flags in the object, but only certain colored flags are allowed. How can I get the VBE to show a little drop down with the acceptable flag constants when another user types
[Object Variable].MessageFlagColor = {drop down list of options}
I started with
Public Property Let MessageFlagColor(Value As Constants)
End Property
But that hasn't gotten me anywhere.
I am attempting to write a VBA function that will add textual formatting to each cell that has content. I am just learning VBA; so far, as an example I have
Sub NewSub()
i = 1
j = 1
Do
Cells(i, j) = "'" & Range(i.j).Value & "',"
i = i + 1
Loop Until i = 40
End Sub
but, as I'm sure you'll notice, it does not work. In essence I want to wrap quotes and follow with a comma each cell that contains any content. The actual content test I haven't gotten to yet.
