Private Sub Workbook_Open()
fileName = ThisWorkbook. Name
fileLocation = ThisWorkbook.Path
Dim strFound As Boolean, pos As Long
If Not fileName = "" Then
strFound = False
pos = 1
Do While strFound = False
stringFound = Mid(fileName, pos, 1)
If stringFound = "-" Then
productName = Mid(fileName, 1, pos - 1)
MsgBox "Name of Product Is: " & productName
strFound = True
Else
pos = pos + 1
End If
Loop
End If
End Sub
It would return "Test" if the file's name is "Test-Part1.xls". I then declare the productName variable as Public (Public productName As String) in one of the modules. But the productName only holds the value for a certain amount of time. After a while, it's empty.
Just starting with excell and am working on a project for my class. I cannot figure out why the value of the variable "changer" defined by command buttons on sheet1 are not being passed to the procedure contained in command button on sheet 2.
I declared the variable in the general declarations section of sheet1 with
Public changer As Integer
The command buttons on sheet 1 contain
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() changer = 1 Cells(1, 1) = changer End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() changer = 2 Cells(1, 1) = changer End Sub
The command button on sheet2 contains
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Cells(1, 1) = changer End Sub
When I click on the command button on sheet2 nothing happens.
I am trying to create a primitive counter. My idea is to write a value to a file, read it, add one and write it back. The file as a single value tab-delimted of 5000. The code below produces the odd output on debug. I really cant understand it.
Public Function nextInv() As Integer Dim fname As String Dim fnum As Integer Dim stringArray() Dim invNum As Integer
fnum = FreeFile() fname = "nextInv.txt"
stringArray() = parse(OpenRecordClassesFn(fname), vbTab) For i = UBound(stringArray) + 1 To LBound(stringArray) invNum = stringArray(i) Next If FileExists(fname) Then Open fname For Output As #fnum End If invNum = invNum + 1 Debug.Print "invNum" Print #fnum, (invNum & vbTab) Close #fnum invNum = invNum + 1
End Function Public Sub testHarness() Debug.Print nextInv() End Sub
with a output of 5000 invNum 0
and the value in the file of 1. It should be 5001.
about variable lifetime/scope in a workbook. Basically I have a Class Module that I set up in the Workbook_Open() event as follows:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Set CurrentClient = New CClient
End Sub
Once the workbook is open the user can select their "client" and all properties/methods for that "client" are available throughout the workbook until they close it, and it all works fine. However, whilst developing I'm obviously making lots of changes to the code, and every time I do the object is no longer available in memory.
I've tried manually running the Workbook_Open event after I make a code change, and even put in a button with the same code, but whatever I do the object won't remain in memory until I close & reopen the workbook. It's so frustrating having to close & reopen the whole workbook every time I want to test a code change I've made!
I have declared one variable outside of Sub. And in a Sub I gave it a value. Then I run a macro, which should take that value and print it to the cell. However, it is printing a blank cell, not even "0" (I run a macro and anything in that cell is removed).
[Code].....
and then my macro:
[Code]......
How to make so macro see my variable declared outside of this macro?
I have a number of userforms that all reference the same worksheet. I wanted to create a public variable for that worksheet so I don't have to keep referencing it in each userform/commandbuttons etc. So I inserted a module and placed this declaration.
Option Explicit Public MySh As Worksheet Set MySh = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("sheetName") And I referenced it in a UserForm commandbutton
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() MySh.Range("i4") = Me.ComboBox1 MySh.Range("i5") = Me.TextBox1 End Sub
I've got several proccedures all inside a single module where I declare 7 variables as Public before the start of the first proccedure.
My structure is something like this:
Public v1 as Variant Public v2 as Variant . . . Public v7 as Variant
Sub Proc1 Call Proc2 (defines v2 as name of a file opened by a user; inside Proc1) Call Proc3 (inside Proc1) Call Proc4 (inside Proc3) Call Proc5 (inside Proc5) End Sub
Sub Proc6 Here I use v2 call Proc7 (inside Proc6) End Sub
Variable v2 is uniquely named and is only used to hold a file's name so that I can call upon that file in various procedures. However, after Proc1 ends, Proc 1 retains the variable names of some of my Public variables, but not all, including v2, which I need!
I've tried going through this all step-by-step, no joy/nothing apparently obvious. I've also turned on Tools-Options-General-Notify Before State Loss but this isn't generating anything either.
I read the Excel VBA Variables Scope and Lifetime info, but I still don't understand b/c of the statement "It's value is retained unless the Workbook closes or the End Statement is used." Which "End Statement"?
I want to fill an array in a form module, then later use those values in a different form module. If I declare the public variable in a standard module, I know any of the modules can access it, but will it retain its value after form1 is no longer running?
If not, do I need to involve a class somehow? I know nothing about classes except that their variables retain their values as long as any of the members is running.
I have a userform that is called within a sub in module. I declared a public string, "divisonb", in the module. When the userform's ok button is clicked, I define the public string through a "select case" method.
At the end of the private sub for the ok button click I have this:
[Code].....
a message box comes up with the correct string for divisonb. After the sub ends and it returns to the module I have the following:
[Code] ....
When this message box pops up, it is blank. Somehow, divisonb was redifined as blank within that 2 lines of code. All my other public strings are returned to the module with their correct values.
Hopefully this isn't too vague, but almost every project I've worked on so far has not recognized Public variables in all modules. I've constantly been searching for exceptions to this rule that could be contributing to this issue but haven't been successful.
I have read a million times that declaring a variable as Public makes it visible to all modules and preserves the value throughout. I've also read that if you edit code or reset your project, the values may be lost. I also know that if you try to use a variable before you give it a value (or for object variables set it = to something), it doesn't have a value yet. But all this applied, I'm still not getting Public variables to be consistently recognized or stay with the value I want them to have throughout the lifetime of my project (while the workbook is open)
My specific current issue (one of many so far) is that I have 4 command buttons within a worksheet object. Each triggers a different group of procedures, some of these are user forms. In the first button, I create two worksheets one to contain the current fiscal period "Options" the other for "Summary" of all the totals etc... (all financial data). In this first userform, triggered by the button, I allow the user to name these worksheets: like Summer2007Options or Summer2007Summary and I declare these publically as object variables OptSheet and SumSheet. These variable names and sheets are recognized for the next 2 buttons but now that I'm on the fourth, I have object variable not set errors when I try to refer to this variable.
I've got the following code, setting up and initializing a Public variable for a sheet, but I've found that it's has no value after the Auto_Open is run, though it works fine in the procedure Auto_Open calls.
I can get around it by reSetting it in the module I need it in, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a Public variable:
code in Module1
Public parSheet As Worksheet
Sub Auto_Open()
Set parSheet = Worksheets("Params") Call Initialization.BuySellInit
I have an Excel 07 spreadsheet containing multiple tabs, modules, and userforms. In Module1, I have a public variable declared as boolean - will call it X. When X is selected from a combo box in Userform 1, X is set to TRUE. However I've noticed that when the user enters Userform 2, X is somehow set to FALSE.
I can't set it back to TRUE at that point because more often than not, it SHOULD be FALSE, thereby sending the macro down a different path. Any idea how I can retain the "TRUE" value for X. I've tried changing the Public Variables to Global, but am still having the problem.
I am in the process of reformatting an excel workbook to act as a review tool for different factors in a process. Part of my redesign includes the use of coding that creates different cell colors based upon the cell contents. The new workbooks will be used to handle existing data for this year. I have developed a process macro to open an existing workbook and copy and transfer the original data worksheet into the newly formatted workbook. The data gets transferred to the new worksheet and the resulting workbook is renamed and saved, Heres'' the rub... the newly saved workbook is missing all of the coding for the worksheets... apparently this is a MS bug.
Has anyone figured a workaround for this. One thought I had is to open both( new and old )workbooks and rather than move/copy , i would transfer the data using cell references.
I am trying to bring up a form after clicking the "ok" button on another form. Both forms are defined in my public sub, so basically, the module creates both forms, calls the first form, and hides the second form. Then the first form hides itself and shows the second form. However, when second form is defined using "dim", the first form can't find it to show it, and when I make the second form "public" in my public sub, I get the error that it is an invalid attribute or function.
Here is the code from my sub that applies to this error:
Code: Public Sub PutInEngine() Dim InputForm As New FrmInputs InputForm.Show
How to prevent a variable holding a pointer to an object from going out of scope and releasing the object pointer after the VB project is reset due to a runtime error during code execution or due to manually resetting the vb project ?
Hooking the Application events in a class module is a scenario where this could be particularly useful - For example, let's assume the application events are hooked upon opening the workbook . Now if the variables go out of scope the application events are no longer functioning which is what i am trying to avoid.
I did once worked around this by creating a VBS script on the fly and continually monitoring the state of the variable from outside excel but this approach has proven problematic on some machines where running scripts is restricted.
I thought about writing an activeX dll in VB6 , loading it in the excel process and hook the application events from there but I don't think this would work because the dll shares the same memory space as the host process.
I'm trying to find definitions/commands to make excel find the best combinations of several defined scopes and restrictions to make an output number as high as possible.
This is by using a combination of several different equations, maybe excel has a magic trick for all the variables and formulas.
It's some code I found and altered that automatically updates the cell to the right of a column that has drop down box data validation, creating a list of the selected values seperated by commas. The thing is, I only want it to do this in columns 8 and 10 but data validation drop-down boxes have been used in several other columns. I've tried various methods of limiting the scope, the latest being the line: If Target.Column = 8 Or 10 Then. But the auto update is still being applied to all drop down boxes in the sheet. So, how can I make sure the auto update only happens when the drop down boxes in columns 8 and 10, updating into columns 9 and 11.
I have two numbers I need to compare using and IF statement. The two numbers are virtually the same, and I want the IF statement to round the numbers so any difference under 100,000 is not detected. For example:
Cell A1 = $32,194,884.45 Cell B1 = $32,194,884.37
I would like the statement to look at this number as 32.19 (divided by 1M). I am using the below equation currently, but it is not working:
I have a spreadsheet and I’m trying to create several different staffing scenarios Basically what I want is to populate column E with the amount of staffing based on the number of classes in column B. The range that I want to apply is in the green box in the sample. I’m trying to have excel give me the staffing value if the current number in cell B5 is a certain value – so in the example 1 through 4 = .2, 5 through 8 = .4 and 9 through 12 = .6. this site gave me some ideas so I tried V lookup and Index but I seem to be missing something and wonder if it is not combinations of nested functions?
I have something like this with data in around 1000rows there is text in collums A B D and E.
A B C D E 1 2 100 3 60 4 30 5 20
and i would like to do this: if value in cell x in collum C is over 80 then background color in Ax,Bx,Cx,Dx,Ex is yellow if value in cell x in collum C is between 60-80 then background color in Ax,Bx,Cx,Dx,Ex is brown if value in cell x in collum C is between 40-60 then background color in Ax,Bx,Cx,Dx,Ex is blue if value in cell x in collum C is between 0-40 then background color in Ax,Bx,Cx,Dx,Ex is red
Obviously i cant use conditional formating because i have more then 3 conditions.
I have a worksheet with 3 particular columns (L,M,N) that have drop down menus. The menu is populated with items that are referenced on a different workbook (different file). Because there are multiple worksheets accessing the referenced list, this is a master. When I change the master, the lists update, but the cell text does not. Example:
If I chose apple from the list, but later in the master I decide I want apple to be banana, while the drop dowm box will now have banana instead of apple, my cell still says apple.
I don't necessarily want apple to change to banana, but I want a visual cue that this is incorrect. I wanted the cell text to change to red if it is not equal to any of the list items on the master file. I want this to be passive, i.e., I want it to change automatically, so I don't have to press a button or some other activation.
I have the following code which performs the same action on 2 different tabs within the same workbook:
Dim Rng As Range, Dn As Range Set Rng = Range(Range("O1"), Range("O" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)) Rng.NumberFormat = "@" For Each Dn In Rng If Len(Dn) < 7 Then Dn = String(7 - Len(Dn), "0") & Dn Next Dn
i get the following error:
Compile Error: Duplicate declaration in current scope
I am trying to automate the creation of 3 pivot tables. At first I was having a problem with deselecting all items in the drop-down except one, then I found the code to fix it.
This fixed the problem, but there are still two other pivot tables that need to be created after this first one. I scrolled down through the code and deleted the other code blocks for the selection of the PivotItems and replaced it with the code above, but then when I ran it I got the "Compile Error: Duplicate Declaration in current scope".
I read more through the forum and realize that it's because VBA is dimensioning it twice, and I read that you're supposed to Dimension at the beginning of your program, but how do I implement this into my coding?
I can't dimension literally at the start of the code, there is some formatting that needs to take place first. (Basically I paste in a bunch of data into Sheet1 of my workbook, center it, space it out, then insert a pivot table into the pre-existing Sheet2 based on that data, filtered on the blank entries in Column N. Then I need to create ANOTHER pivot table based on that same data in Sheet1, but filtered on the blank entries in Column O. Then I center the words in the Pivot tables' headers in Sheet2, and finally I need to create one last pivot table on pre-existing Sheet3 based on the data on Sheet1, filtered for 2 specific entry types in Column N.)
I have the following code to compare two columns and delete adjacent rows if 1 is greater than or equal the other...
Sub LastReceipt_GT_Confirmed()
Dim intLstRow As Integer
For intLstRow = Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1 With Range("E" & intLstRow) If .Value > .Offset(0, 1).Value Then .EntireRow.Delete End With Next intLstRow For intLstRow = Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1 .............
