Why should I set objects to nothing (ie clear them) just before ending a sub routine? Doesn't excel dump the variables after the sub is finished running?
Example:
Dim ws As worksheet
Then at the end...
Set ws = Nothing
So I'm creating a grid worksheet for engineering calculations and I have a couple questions about the best way to do it. I've been messing with excel for my calcs for about a decade now, and I every once in a while I try and improve them.
First: I will have several input areas that will either be colored text or shaded background (either works for me). I don't want these 'input required' objects to print as color, just black. But I want my logo at the sheet top to print as color. I've only found ways to not print any color. Can I print the logo as color and the 'input required' stuff as black?
Second: When I do calcs by hand, I write them out on 10x10 grid paper. Each 10x10 grid is one inch. In the past I've created this grid out of the cells, which works. I frequently need to change formulas around though, and each time I do this, I end up needing to mess with the grid cells also. Is there a way to create the grid and have it in the background so it doesn't need to be adjusted each time I change formulas? I wan't the grids to print, and also want to see them on the screen, as I sometimes draw simple objects along with the formulas.
I want to use VBA to update a drawing object's color, such as a circle.
For example, pretend I am counting sheep and I need to know when I have reached the maximum count by the visual aide of a stoplight. The script in my head reads: If the max. count of the sheep is less than 5, then the stoplight is green. If the max. count of the sheep is equal to 5, then the stoplight is yellow. If the max. count of the sheep is greater than 5, then the stoplight is red.
Is there a way to do such a thing on excel and with VBA?
I created four Ranges called "Range1", "Range2", "Range3" and "Range4", and wrote short program, that fills them:
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 4
Range("Range" & i).value = 1
Next i
Is it possible to do similiar thing with for example ComboBox?
Let's say that i have comboBoxes named "cb1", "cb2", "cb3" and "cb4" and want to disable them.
I ran into some difficulties by calling an object's function from a collection.
'BondIndex Class Module
Option Explicit
Private m_BondReturn As Collection
Public Sub Initialize()
Set m_BondReturn = New Collection
End Sub
Public Sub Load(BondPoints As Integer)
Dim i As Integer
Initialize
'Load Parameters of Bond
End Sub
Property Get BondReturn() As Collection
Set BondReturn = m_BondReturn
End Property................................
If I hadn't read it on here, how would I have know that they existed? They are not mentioned in the standard Excel help files (not that I could see anyway).
What other "objects" are available? I had a look through the references in the VBE and there are literally hundreds on items which all look pretty "juicy". Does that mean there are a whole host of other objects that I could use in my Excel spreadsheets to either make them simplier or more powerful?
If so, where does one find any reference info on them?
In the attached sample workbook, (Excel 2007 format), there are hundreds, maybe thousands, of drawing objects and rectangles. They are mostly located near the top of column AC. You can't see any of them, because they are empty, or formatted to have no line and no fill, ubt if you move the cursor around in that area, it will eventually give you the option to "select" one of the objects. They appear to be stacked on top of each other.
This bloats the worksheet terribly. I have managed to shave the size of the attached sample down to 100K, bu deleting about 200 of the objects, but if I save this balnk file as an Excel 2003 file, it is 1.3 Mb.
I have discovered how to show what objects are on the worksheet, by selecting "Find and Select" and choosing to show the "Selection Pane". This pane shows hundreds of blank objects in the sheet. When this pane is open, however, if I try to select and delete an object, Excel locks up on me.
I'm not sure why they decided to export data this way but...I have a report that has pictures/objects that need to be in a cell so I can manipulate the data. I'm not really sure how to do this- and the only thread that related to this was over my head. This is not the original export- I've already done some sorting so the objects are all over the place- but basically if the object is C (picture 23) then I want that picture to say C in a cell somewhere. or if the picture is the dollar sign (picture 27) then I want a cell to say $. I don't know if I'm even explaining this right. Here is my workbook.

Hi all, starting this as a new problem because it's so far different from what I was originally talking about; but this does relate in part to my previous thread.
Anyway. I'm trying to set an array to set Range objects so that I can define each one as a seperate With block. Here's what I "know" when starting out.
I developed the following. I keep thinking it should be multidimensional but my sleep deprived brain came up with this instead. The problem is, it's throwing a 1004 Method "Range of object '_Worksheet'" failed at the With statement.
I have a Master sheet linked with another worksheets with formula.
Now I want to insert 1 column in between , and when trying to insert the column in it a message sowing that " Cannot Shift Objects of Sheet"
Why this error shwoing and how can i insert any column in it.

I'm trying to remove gif, jpg, and xls objects from a specific range and I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I can remove all objects from the sheet or only the gif and jpg files from a range. Here is the code I've been playing with:

Dim Sh As Shape
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
For Each Sh In .Shapes
If Not Application.Intersect(Sh.TopLeftCell, .Range("A26:E32")) Is Nothing Then
If Sh.Type = msoPicture Then Sh.Delete
End If
Next Sh
End With

I know this code says to delete only pictures and I've tried tweeking it to do all objects but it doesn't work for just the range I want. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

I want on my chart is an object (Arrow in this case), that is conditional formatted on data between 2 periods.
The first bar of 20 represents a top 20 list with most common failures.
I would like to have an arrow that indicates that if the last period, the amount of failures has gone up, down or is equal to the period before that.
So period 1, article 111 had 10 failures, period 2 article 111 had 20 failures, hence there should be an arrow pointing up related to that bar.
I have a code which i use to grab the highest price and the lowest price from various sheets in column D.
There are 19 sheets altogether and the code basically looks at the relevant sheet based on the value in another cell.
Example - if you type value "EUR/USD" then the highest price and the lowest price are taken from the sheet named "EURUSD".
Now - HOW can i HIDE all those 19 sheets without getting the visible object error?

I am trying to work out how to pisition a new object in some VBA code, I can do this if I copy an object then click on a cell, e.g. H74 then paste, but the properties for an object want this in points.
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeOval, 50, 50, 26.25, 26.25).Select
What I want to do is select the cell H74, then find the coordinates for that cell then use these when creating the shape, I appreciate these coordinates will need to be assigned to variables, but how do you get then from a given cell?
I have a VBA sub "Create Invoice". After I run it, I would like to remove it, using a CleanUp sub.
Is it a good assumption that a VBA routine is simply an object like any other object?
If so, what is the VBA code to remove a sub?
Does it matter whether the sub is a free standing module, or a sub that is attached to a worksheet?
I am attempting to create a double-entry accounting system and am having trouble with my Transaction class (clsTransaction). As each transaction will consist of at least two entries, I have included a Collection in clsTransaction that will accept Entry objects (clsEntry) as items.

Is there a way to create objects dynamically? for example, I know that I need to many create objects of a class, but I don't know how many objects I need before hand. Does VB allow you to create objects on the fly? If so, how can it be done?
