Referencing A Sheet From An Inputbox
I have a quick question that'll hopefully have a quick answer. Part of my workbook requires an input box to appear. When you type the name of one of the worksheets into the box and hit enter I want a VLOOKUP formula I've written to compare to that worksheet. Heres what I mean, with some descriptions of what i would like:

Search For Value On Current Sheet From Inputbox
I am having some trouble conceptualizing how to write code for the following situation: When the macro starts, the user types in a job title into the box and the macro then searches for this value throughout the whole worksheet. I want to return a msgbox that says if the job title was found and if so, what the cell address is and for that to be stored in a variable. If the job title is not found, then I want to return a msgbox that says the job title was not found.

I am using an inputbox to pull over information from another sheet to be reviewed. The problem is that I can't get the cancel button to work. I am not having a problem with the ok button though. Sub test() Dim pull As String pull = InputBox("How many would you like to retrieve.", "Retrieve", vbOKCancel) If pull = vbOK Then MsgBox "ok " & pull Else MsgBox "Cancel" End If End Sub

Clicking Cancel On InputBox To Delete Newly Created Sheet

Referencing Sheet Tabs
Is there a way to use the "value" of a name in a drop-down list to reference a sheet tab name in a formula? A1 has a drop down list. When a name (Bob's Sales) is selected from the drop down list, B1 shows the value of cell D5 from sheet "Bob's Sales".

Referencing Another Sheet In Same Workbook
I have two sheets in the same work book and I want to pull values through from one to the other. So its a simple =Sheet2!B45 or whatever yeah? But no! What Excel 2007 does when I hit enter is to swap the Sheet!2 bit for "C:documents and Settingsmy documentsspreadsheetsmyworkbook!Sheet2!B45" or some such. Why the hell does it do that and how can I stop it.

Referencing Cells In Another Sheet
I need assistance referencing cells in other sheets. I have a summary tab which I would have each refenced sheet listed (named for the activity being billed). In a separate cell in the summary tab, I want to bring back the value of the total amount billed for that activity. The total value is in the same cell of each sheet, as all invoice tabs needing to be referenced are identical in layout. There is one hitch to this, the sheets referenced have not yet been created (that would be too too easy), and the activity list in the summary sheet has place holder names that will change when the activity being billed is defined (hence prompting the biller to create the sheet to be referenced).

Formula Referencing Previous Sheet
After a formula to copy the contents of a cell in the previous sheet in a workbook, so that if I was to copy the last sheet in a workbook the formula would automatically reference the cell from the copied worksheet and so on if I copied tht one. Hope this makes sense I have a lot of formulas referencing the previous sheet and everytime I copy this sheet to create a new sheet I have to change the sheet number in the formulas. eg, in sheet 8 this formula get info from sheet 7 cel J30 ='7'!J30 when i copy the sheet to create a new one (Sheet 9) I would like the new formula to automatically be ='8'!J30.

Vlookup - Referencing Sheet Index
I am trying to find out whether it is possible to reference to a sheet index number, instead of sheet name, in a VLOOKUP formula. For instance, normally I would write: VLOOKUP(A1,'ExampleSheet'!A1:B10,2,False) (I hope got the translation to English language Excel correct) Let's say that the sheet index of Examplesheet is 2 (at least it is 2 the way VBA sees it). Is there a way I could reference sheet number 2 in the VLOOKUP formula, instead of its name? My sheet names vary, but the formula should look in the same area, regardless of name.

Referencing Cells Dependent On Sheet Name
I have a workbook that has a number of sheets with various project stages and dates on them. These details are arranged in small tables displayed vertically down the page. Each worksheet's name is the project code - e.g. 30033_99 I have now been asked to create an overview page that displays all these stages and dates on one page. What I'm trying to do is get Excel to look at the column with the project code and then pull information from the worksheet with that name.

Referencing Sheet Code Names By Variable
I have a set of worksheets (Sheet31 through Sheet49 by codename) produced by a machine in the lab. I want to create a summary sheet that references cells in those worksheets. Rather than go through the annoyance of doing this manually 40+ times I'm working on creating a macro to populate the summary sheet for me. This is what I have so far For J = 31 To 49 ResultSht = SheetJ.Name Sheet1.Activate ActiveSheet.Range("A4").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Select It hangs up on the "SheetJ.Name" however. My objective is to be using the object SheetJ, where the object SheetJ is the codename of the results sheet I'm trying to reference (for example, in the first pass through the loop it would be Sheet31). Could someone point out my mistake in this object reference?

#REF! Error Referencing Worksheet After Importing Sheet
I have a template i'm making that is full of formula references to sheets not yet in existance in the workbook. what i want to happen is this: My code imports data files, renames the tabs to 1, 2, 3, 4... The formulas i already have are set in the CONCATENATED tab.... an example of such a formula is: ='1'!$P2. so this should work, and yet it doesn't. the sheet is imported as it should be, the tab is renamed to 1, and yet the CONCATENATED sheet still shows #REF for the cell value. if i click in the cell, click in the text bar and enter out, the formula updates. there apparently is no option that i KNOW OF (although i'm sure there is something out there that does...) that will update this without me entering into the text bar and entering out. Question: how do i manually update all references once the sheets to those references have been imported?

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).

Two Option InputBox
I am trying to simply the data input for someone who is not very experienced. I have had some success but need to have an extra option in case of mistakes. Ideally I need the following - I want an inputbox that will appear when the user starts the macro and for example asks Enter Surname Then I know what I want but I don't know how to do it. I want a box to display the Surname that the user typed into the inputbox with a message asking Are Details Correct? with a Yes and No Button. Clicking the Yes button moves onto the next inputbox clicking the No button cancels the whole macro before it enters data into cells.

VBA Inputbox
I have another dilema. I am writing a macro that essentially takes a template from a workbook and copies it to another workbook that already has data. the data is then imputed into the pasted template through the macro... my dilema is that I have numerous data sheets so at the begining of the code I need the macro to pause so the user can manually select the cell or range that the copied template is to be pasted too... I was thinking an inputbox would work but I am unsure how to write this part of the code.

If you enter zero, it inserts 2 rows above the active cell. I tried to modify another macro, I found on the site, that inserts rows and copies the row above, but always get the Message Box "You didn't specify a range!" Sub InsertNumRows() ' Dim Rng As Range Application.DisplayAlerts = False On Error Resume Next Rng = InputBox("Enter number of rows required.")

Get Default Value From Cell For Inputbox
I am working on a production spreadsheet, and I'm trying to figure out the easiest way for my coworkers to enter data into the system. Each shift, we produce from 5-20 different varieties of chips, and we keep track of how much we've made of each. I've decided that a simple ADD and DEL button at the end of each row will work (unless anyone can think of something easier or better, let me know pls). Cell G3:G30 is where data will be stored for each variety. The default value for each variety is stored in column C. I found a very basic macro that adds a value to a selected cell, but I wish for it to find the default quantity for the variety in that row (changes day to day as per our schedule), and add it to the value in column G. The DEL button will do just the opposite. I have 3 worksheets that I need this macro in as well (days, afternoons, midnights), but I don't think that will be any problem. I've searched around for a solution, to no avail.

InputBox To Edit Data
I have a worksheet, attached, that is a supplier response to a purchase order. Column E contains the original qty ordered of each part number, Column H contains the original price. Now, I've created a quick macro, (in the workbook), that copies the original values to the confirmed values, and the formulas in columns G and J calculate the qty backordered, or flags the part as a price change. After copying the original PO values to the confirmed values, the supplier would need to go in and make whatever changes are necessary. For example, we ordered 3 and they shipped 0 of a certain part, or the price has changed. What I would like to do is create a macro that pops up an input box where the supplier enters the Keystone part number, (column A), then enters the new quantity or new price, and those items are automatically changed on the response form. I picture it in the form of 3 input boxes, in the first box the buyer enters a part number. A second box pops up asking if it's a qty change or price change. They would enter the value in a 3rd box, and that value would automatically be changed on the response.

Variable Based On Inputbox
I have a macro that is designed to use an inputbox to ask for a number string that represents an entry on the current page, then go to that entry on the current page, and then select various info from that row and then use a portion of that string to move to another sheet which has the name equal to that portion of the string to perform more actions. My current problem is that when I try to set a variable based on a portion of the text input into the inputbox entry it gives me: runtime error 1004: method range of object _gloabal failed. And the line it errors on is the variable definition which is based on a portion of the inputbox entry. Dim MyInput As String Dim ChooseDate As String Dim Hours As String Dim SR As Integer Dim ER As Integer Dim SC As Integer Dim EC As Integer Dim RowVar As Integer Dim ColVar As Integer Dim found As Boolean MyInput = InputBox(" Date-Time Number?") If MyInput = vbNullString Then Exit Sub ChooseDate = (Mid(Range(MyInput), 1, 4)) The "choosedate=" line is where it errors. It's suppose to take, as a string, the first four characters of the text input into the inputbox. Then it searches the current sheet for the entire entry, selects it, uses that row to collect more info and then moves to the sheet in the workbook that has the name equal to the first four digits of the inputbox text to do more actions. I'm sure it's a syntax error but my knowledge is at it's limits.

In my project, I use a lot of Validation to prompt the user for the kind of data they need to enter. This method causes a problem because the input message box shows with its upper-left corner directly underneath the currently selected cell. My users (some of whom prefer the mouse) get annoyed with how this box shows up in the way of where their mouse cursor needs to click. Is there a way to set an offset (or similar effect) programatically to keep this box out of the way?
