Referencing A Cell's Contents As Range()
I'm trying to figure out the best way to reference a cell's contents as a range in VBA code. So essentially it would be simple like this (except of course this doesn't work)... Range("cell(contents,A1)").Select
I always look in my CD of old forum posts, Mr. Excel articles, Mr. Excel books I have etc. before I break down and ask.

Referencing Active Cell's Value From Another Sheet
I'd like for users to click in a cell in col A in a sheet named "Period7", have the cell value placed in cell C11 in a sheet named "Per7Report," and change the focus or active sheet to sheet Per7Report. Can this be done simply by clicking in a cell, or must a command button be inserted into each cell (note - odd rows only) in col A in Period7. on the code to do this? Note that there is a formula in col A in sheet Period7

How Do I Convert A Cell(s) From The Formula To It's Contents
Using Excell 2000 ... I have data being retrieved from another sheet Cell A1 of the Input Sheet, for example might contain the words "This is a TEST" Cell A1 of the Output Sheet contains the formula: ='Input Sheet'!$A$1 .... thus displaying whatever the contents is of cell A1 of the Input Sheet. I want to save the formula results in time ... I want to convert the cell(s) of the Output Sheet to the results ... getting rid of the equation(s). I'm sure I have seen this before, I just cannot remember? ... getting old!

Access A Cell's Contents Via A Variable Containing Cell Address??
How can you access a cell's value via a vb variable that contains the cell's address. I have a vb variable named cellAddress (string) that contains "$A$1" and I want to assign the contents of what cellAddress points to another VB variable - how do i Do this? e.g. if cellAddress = "$a$1" and A1 contains "xyz", I would like to assigne "xyz" to a new vaiable by referencing just cellAddress??? Also - Can anyone reccomend a good Excel VB book? A book that maybe stresses the VB language rather then a cook-book approach.

Run-time Error '1004' :: Method 'Range' Of Object'_Global' Failed
I am trying to create a macro in my personal macro book such that whenever any workbook is opened the calculation settings (tools, options, calculation tab) are set to semiautomatic and do not calculate before save. The macro works when I am opening Excel itself (Book1) but when I open an already saved file it gives me Run-time error '1004' Method 'Range' of object'_Global' failed From there I choose Debug, the VBE window comes up, and I hit F5 to continue the code without doing any actual debugging. Here is the code that I am using. This is in the Personal Macro book on the "This Workbook" section....

Run-time Error '1004' Method 'Range' Of Object '_Worksheet' Failed
I have an interesting error that only happens when there is one row of data in the worksheet (sheet2 or "Half Payout"). Rows 1 & 2 are headers, row 3 is when the data starts - if any. With either no rows of data or more than one the coding works just fine. Here is the exact error message I'm getting: Run-time error '1004': Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed. The following code is supposed to sort the rows of data when opened and then activate the first open cell below B2.

Run-time Error '1004': Methd 'Range' Of Object '_Global' Failed
I have constructed the following code to set the print area of worksheets that have been selected to print to the range referenced in a worksheet level named range "xPrintArea". This named range is set using the OFFSET function. The procedure also sets the left footer to be a copyright notice that is also contained in a cell referenced by a named range. Set oPrintArea = Range(sPrintAreaName) is generating the error "Methd 'Range' of object '_Global' failed". Note that the line Set oCopyrightNotice = Range("CopyrightNotice") does not generate this error. From what I've been able to determine from other research on this forum and others, I believe the problem is that I need to more fully qualify the object which Range(sPrintAreaName) is referencing. I've already tried to use Set oPrintArea = wkSht.Range(sPrintAreaName).................

Conditionally Lock Row Based On One Cell's Contents
I'm trying to figure out how to lock a range of cells (all in a row) when some puts a specific character in one of the cells. I have a sheet where I want people to enter data. Once they put a 'C' in the last column to indicate that the entry is complete, the whole row should be locked so they can't change any of the cells for that entry. There are some good pointers already on the forum to help me get the basics: Conditional Cell Lock Unlock http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=66397 http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76379 However, all of these point to specific cells rather than a range of cells that can be located close to the target of the change.

Referencing Last Cell >0 In Range
I have a row with month titles. I manually fill this with data as the year progresses. I need to automatically use the last month updated in the row in a formula. i.e. theformula is in one cell and calculates on the last figure in the row e,g, data is in january (say C3) - when I input Feb data in C4, I want the formula to automatically reference the last complete cell (ignore january data and calculate on Feb data), and so on through the year.

Run Time Error 1004 - Method 'Range' Of 'Object'_Global' Failed
I am trying to build a macro which will format the columns of a spreadsheet - basically it inserts some columns, writes formulas and highlights them. Here is a code I have got so far... When I try to run this I get a run time error 1004 - Method 'Range' of 'Object'_Global' failed. The part of the code Range("N2:N").FormulaR1C1 = "=(RC[-7]/RC[-2])" is highlighted in the debugger. Can anyone tell me why this is happening, also it would be great if you could suggest better ways of writing this code - as I am new to vba programming and most of my macros are built using the recorder and then 'working' on them.

Referencing Selected Tabs To Print Selection & Update Table Of Contents Sheet
I searched but didn't find exactly what I needed. I have a workbook with 31 sheets. It is a price guide with each category on a separate worksheet. I figured out how to list the sheets on a separate tab. What my client wants is the ability to: 1. select certain categories for printing, the ToC, Cover and backcover pages have to print in every case 2. the ToC has to change depending on the sheets selected. I'd rather write some code and give him an an easy command button rather then teaching him how to select non-concurrent sheets and printing only active sheets. What I'm really stuck on is the updating of the ToC with active sheets only (category and starting page which changes depending on pages selected).

Using 'IF' With Conditional Format (change Cell Color Based On The 'P' Or 'F')
My cell has a 'P' or an 'F' plus some additional text. I'm trying to change cell color based on the 'P' or 'F' but I can't get it to recognize the letters. Samples of what I've tried: =IF(LEFT(L23,1)=P) =IF(MID(L23,1,1)=P) etc. I can 'FIND' the 'P' or 'F' but there may be a P or F else where in the cell so the color may come up incorrect. I'm trying to get it to just look at the first character in the cell. Can the 'IF' be used with CFs?

VBA With Range() To TRIM() Cell Contents
I have column headings that come in through a file upload and for some reason some of the column headings(which are in cells in row1) have extra spaces in the middle of them and at the end of the word. This messes up some of my later coding when trying to find specific header names. Example: "Location " - has extra 2 spaces at end, should be "Location" "Read (Only)" - has 3 spaces in middle, should be "Read (Only)" I came up with this piece of code to quickly correct the bad headers by Trim()'g the contents of each cell, but it's error'g out & not sure how to fix it: With Range("A1:A24") .Value = Trim(.Value) End With It errors of course on the '.Value' line.

LOOKUP Range Based On Contents Of A Cell
I want to be able to send out one “master” workbook with the fourteen ranges, and use a pull-down list (or anything else) so when the user selects a state, the proper lookup range will be used. In the attached abbreviated example, I want the lookups in Column B to refer to the state designated in B2. In this case, the VLOOKUP works correctly, since Colorado zip codes are in the ColZip range. The people in Idaho or Oregon using this will only be working with their respective zip codes in ranges IdaZip or OreZip, so if they enter their state in B2, I would like the VLOOKUP to look in a different range. My whole idea is to only have one master workbook so I don’t have to create one for each district office. Maybe I’m thinking in a wrong direction altogether.

Error 1004 Method 'Range' Of Object '_Worksheet' Failed
I have a cet of CommandButtons on sheet 1. The code for these buttons is in the code section of the sheet. A named range is referenced in this code. This named range is on sheet 2. Every time I try to reference this or any named range (from any other sheet), I get this "Run-time error '1004': Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed" The last time I had this error I was able to fix it by moving the code to Module1. I tried that here, but it did not work (I can't figure out how to call it from the sheet). CommandButton. Here is the code from the sheet for one of the buttons: Private Sub TBEnterUp_Click() iLast = Range("WBDate_DayLast").Value '<<<<<<< iItem = TBEnter.Value If iItem = iLast Then TBEnterUp.Visible = False Exit Sub End If TBEnter.Value = iItem + 1 If iItem > 0 Then TBEnterDown.Visible = True End Sub It is a simple number advancer. It is working in the UserForm I took it from. I have included a sample file of the problem. Feel free to look at it and borrow anything in it that you might like.

How To Restrict The Cell Data To Letters 'a' Through 'e' AND 'A' Through 'E'
I am trying to come up with an excel shee which can track the progress of a student on practice exams. This exam only has multiple choice questions, with answer choices A,B,C,D or E. What I am looking for 1) I want to restrict the cell data to A,B,C,D or E (both cases). Note that I am not looking for a drop down/combo box. It would take the user to use one or two mouse clicks to drop down the list, and I am not in favor of that. 2) I would like this validation/formula to be applied to all the cells in a particular column. 3) Nice-to-have. If the user enters a lower case letter, then I would like to convert to upper case.

Method 'Range' Of Object '_Worksheet' Failed Error
I start in my "Action Plan for For Single Market" worksheet and if I click on the Command Button I then want to read in a couple of variables, and jump to a second worksheet (called "Market Action Plans") where I then want to copy a range, and then paste it in another area in that same sheet. I thought I had worked out what to do, but when I execute I get a "run-time error 1004" when the macro gets to the "Range("Updated_Results").Copy" line. Excel describes the error as "Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed'" - which might as well be a foreign language as far as I am concerned! Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() Current_Market_Row = Range("Current_Market_Row") First_Col_Action_Desc = Range("First_Col_Action_Desc") Sheets("Market Action Plans").Select Range("Updated_Results").Copy Cells(Current_Market_Row, First_Col_Action_Desc).Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False Sheets("Action Plan for Single Market").Select End Sub I am an occasional macro-creator and every now and again, I come across this type of problem where I can't get variables to be reconized, etc. I think it's because I don't understand enough about Private versus Public, and how to declare variables.

Display Named Range Contents Based On Text In Cell
I have some dynamic named ranges in sheet1, and in sheet2 I have data validation dropdown list which has the names of all the DNR's in it. What I want it to do (in sheet3, no less) is for the user to be able to pick a named range from the dropdown list, and have a particular column in sheet3 then display that entire named range. I have made a 'data' worksheet which is the source for the data validation in sheet2. Each item in the list identically matches the name of each of the named ranges. I was hoping to be able to use some form of =INDIRECT but alas, no such luck. So it's almost like a copy and paste function I'm after, where: If you pick "Schedule_From" out of the DD-list, then DNR 'Schedule_From' is what is pasted in Column B in Sheet3. DON'T want to use a PivotTable.

When I debug both variables have proper data in them, and I have no idea why this is bombing.

Referencing A Dynamic Range
1. I have a worksheet with subtotal and total row above all columns I currently use SUBTOTAL(9, A6:A6000) and SUM(A6:A6000) however the no of rows is dynamic based on imported data so I want the range end (i.e. A6000) to also be dynamic i.e. refer to the last cell with data in the column. Something like SUBTOTAL(9, A6:LastCell in A) 2. I also use SUMPRODUCT to do calculations e.g. SUMPRODUCT (($B$6:$B$6000 = "ABC") * ($A$6:$A$6000)) again how can I make the sumproduct dynamically use all rows to the last active row. 3. I have tried just setting the second part of the range reference to a very large number but am worried that this slows down the calculation. Does it? e.g. SUMPRODUCT(($B$6:$B$100000 = "ABC") * ($A$6:$A$100000))

Subscript Out Of Range Referencing A Workbook
I've written somewhat complex code (well complex by my standards) on my own computer and I have tried to put the project onto another computer so that they can use it. The code involves opening a workbook and then saving it under the variable name strName1. Then it activates another workbook and puts information into that workbook from the strName1 workbook. The strName1 workbook is open this whole time. However, I get an out of range error when trying to do this part (the code is shown below). ActiveCell = Workbooks(strName1). Sheets("Basic Overview").Range("B1").Value I am confused because this works alright on my computer, I have copied the root directories for the file exactly as it is on my computer and when debugging the code I can see that it has picked up the variable strName1 correctly (so this isn't the problem). I've also tried writing the entire root directory in insetad of just Workbooks(strName1) but it still says its out of range.

Macro Referencing Named Range In Worksheets Private Module

However, after I relocated the range to a separate sheet (a 'SourceData' sheet to tidy up the user interface sheet), I was getting the following error message: Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed The name is correctly defined - Range("DaysInYear").Select still picks up the correct selection - it's just the VLOOKUP will no longer function correctly.
