I need to create "Define Name" references for 70 columns of data so that I can establish Parent/Child relationships in a data validation list. Is there a quick way to do this or do I need to go through the same steps 70 times (i.e., once for each column)? My concern is that the current order of my columns might change too, and I don't want to have to recreate the "Define Names" every time it does.
View 1 RepliesI was trying to re-create an example from Chapter 4 the 2nd Edition of Professional Excel Development in which there is a data validation list,
that is conditionally populated according to the selection of another data validation list.
When you choose b/t Fruits or Vegetables (Source:=Categories) in column D, the list under Item (column E) will read as a group of Fruits or Vegetables (Source:=If(IsBlank(D4),"",Indirect(D4)).
When I look at the Define Name dialog box, there is a column indicating the sheet name, which I cannot re-create/build myself. My first question is how do I do this, and secondly, the 2nd formula above will not work when I plug it into the data validation, but it may be on account of these worksheet level names. If you guys can see another reason why, I'm all ears (or eyes as it were).
UPDATE: Of course, I just tried it again this morning and it worked, but i would still lke to know how to use Worksheet/book level names.
I would Like to define each row in a spreadsheet to the value of the first cell in each row and I have no idea how to go about this.
Code Customer

_0435 Smith
So basiclally I would like to name the first row "_0888" being 2:2. But without doing each row manually via Insert --> Names --> Define..
I need to be able to locate some important columns in a table of raw data (the column locations are not fixed).
I would like to identify the locations (based on the heading values in Row 1) and store them as Public variables. The Match function works fine for this, however I'd like to make a simple loop to set these variables (opposed to repeating the function for each).
In the example below, I can't figure out how to reference "List1(Count)" as the name of the variable I'm trying to set.
Code:
Public Field1 As Long, Field2 As Long, Field3 As Long 'The column numbers will be stored here
Sub FindFields()
Dim List1(3), List2(3)
Dim Count As Long
'Public variables (declared above)
[Code] ......
So after running FindFields(), the Test1() macro should give "1 - 2 - 3" (for example) as the locations of the fields in Sheet1. But currently this doesn't work.
I am trying to rename a row of cells with incremental names. Ex.
A1=Results1, A2=Results2, A3=Results3, ...., AN=ResultsN
Of course, it can be done by setting names for each cell separately but it takes ages. I would like to know if this is possible to do that quickly due to an add-in or VBA.
I use Excel 2003.
I am working on a macro for excel which has a userform where the user puts in the number of samples they have, then takes them to a new userform to input the weights of the samples. I want to be able to set the sample mass variable dynamically based on the number of samples they have…
i.e.
spl1
spl2
spl3

splx
x=number of samples
This number will be different each time so I am stumped at how to do this since I have just started in vba and do not know too much yet.
I am waaaaay in over my head here. I've not done any scripting/macro/vb/whatnot work in Excel, but I'm staring down a potential all-night project manually merging data.

finalrow = wspo.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
finalcol = wspo.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been working on a few different spreadsheets, and I have gotten almost everything to work. There are just two things that I just can't get right. Here is the first problem:
It seems to me that I should be able to change where the list will display where it says: sh.Range("a10").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
I change the range to anything in column A and it works, but If I change the column, the entire script seems to run in one row, and the days of the week don't move.
Code:
Sub Workbook_Open()
Range("a2:d300").FormulaR1C1 = Clear
Dim sh As Worksheet, dyArr As Variant, rng As Range, c As Range
Set sh = Sheets("Summary")
[Code] ....
Now the second issue, I need to know how to set the array to look at every single worksheet without listing every sheet. Here is an example:
Code:
dyArr = Array("apple", "explorer", "firefox", "google", "java", "safari", "templates")
Now, in the future I might need to add a worksheet in between google and Java, and I don't want to have to change the script every time.
I'm trying to create a code that when run hides a selection of columns and defines the minimum and interval value for a chart on the active worksheet. My attempt is assigned to the 'update skills' button at the top of the "GRAPH" worksheet of the attached workbook.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a daily data dump that starts at the beginning of 2012 up to the current date. I have an executive view that allows the user to see metrics(in a data graph) from the current date back to a date selected from a drop down menu. I would like to have it so they can choose what the end date will be as well as the start date. I have tired using offset with very little luck. Is there a way I can accomplish this task with VBA? Everyday a new row of data (for the previous date) is added to the front sheet. So row 1 is a header row and then row 2 is 01/01/2012, row three 01/02/2013, etc.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI receive an order spreadsheet from a customer see attached .rar file. I have had to compress as it is 101kb.
Each row is one order with the information of what is required including the data.
Some orders need to be dispatched on the day before (these orders are standard and are always dispatched the day before.)
I would like a solution that would let me define the orders dispatched the day before, remove them and the total from the original day and recalculate the data. There is a week’s worth of data that is sent from the customer and the orders may be duplicated during the week but need to be fulfilled.
Attached is also an example of how the data could be sorted
Nine Elms Sheet the data would be imported from the customer,
Criteria would define the orders that are dispatched early,
The pre tabs would have the orders found that meet the criteria set and totalled (pre Monday would be Tuesdays dispatched early)
The day tabs would have the other orders totalled after the early orders have been removed.

I have some code to plot a column chart of data but it isn't working as expecting at the moment. The code is below. The variable binCounter is a count of how many cells in a range that I want to plot on the chart.
However, what I am finding is that the first couple of cells in the range appear as the series name with the rest appearing as the data in the chart. Secondly, the chart appears with the axis labels 1,2,3 etc when I have some custom ones I would prefer to use. How do I go about setting this property, as I can only find options on setting the axis title There is a lot of stuff on XY charts on Google but I can't find much on column charts unfortunately .

'activate sheet and chart
Worksheets("Home Page").Activate
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Histogram").Activate

One column has names in this format: Last name, First name and the other column lists the names as first name and then last name without the comma .

I want to compare many columns and find duplication in the last one;
Example:
Column A Column B Column C Column D Column E
1234 1234 1 A OK
1235 1235 1 A OK
1236 1236 3 A OK
1237 1236 0 A OK
1238 1236 1 B Duplication found in different column
1239 1238 0 A OK
To get Column "C" which is calculate how many numbers in that row are repeated with respect to Column "B", I solve it by using : =COUNTIF(B:B,A2) ;
But I want to get a result of duplication in "Column E" by see if "Column B" + "Column D" has the same value regardless of number then say "OK", but if it is not than the before, then write "Duplication found in different column".

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet that has a compilation of reports, each of which has multiple columns that aren't necessarily organized in an Excel-friendly way. However, the first column contains a list of "name" headings (titled "Name") and the second adjacent column always lists the actual name right beside it. Similarly, each person has a value heading in the first column (titled "The Value") and the actual value in the second column. What I would like to be able to do is have Excel search for the Name heading, paste the value in the adjacent column (the actual name) in a cell in a new worksheet, then search for "The Value" and do the same thing in the column adjacent to the one where the actual name was copied. The catch is I need Excel to do this and then search again for "Name", skip it, and start again with the first part of the procedure until all names and their associated values are matched. how to do something like this in VBA?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to insert a listbox by the way of data validation and would
like
to only have unique data displayed in it. I was wondering if anybody
has done this before or if it is possible. I would like it to remove
any and all records that are blank.
This is what I have got so far.................
VBA Function UniqueItems(ArrayIn, Optional Count As Variant) As Variant
' Accepts an array or range as input
' If Count = True or is missing, the function returns the number
' of unique elements
' If Count = False, the function returns a variant array of unique
' elements
Next i
AddItem:
' If not in list, add the item to unique list
If Not FoundMatch Then
NumUnique = NumUnique + 1
ReDim Preserve Unique(NumUnique)
Unique(NumUnique) = Element
End If
Next Element
' Assign a value to the function
If Count Then UniqueItems = NumUnique Else UniqueItems = Unique
End Function
Then I input an array with a few duplicate Item and us the function to
determine the list. So far I found that it worked for the following
function:
{=TRANSPOSE(UniqueItems(A4:A27))}
but this only gives me the number of unique items in the array. The
problem is when I try to use the following function:
{=TRANSPOSE(UniqueItems(A3:A26,FALSE))}
This now only returns a zero and if I fill down they all are zero.
I would like to get a list of unique items from this formula. Example
list would be:
{Array = Lorem, Lorem, foo, bar, bar} {Formula_returns = Lorem, foo,
bar}
I haven't a clue how to display this in a regular excel cell box so I
thought that using a validation list box would inherently work.
I want to set up daily charts to monitor various things but Im not sure how best to set up the data in order to do this so it calculates automatically as data is refreshed.
I want to run daily activity data that tells me how many people attend each room per day. the aggregated data would include:
Number of attendances, by room (there are 11 rooms), by day
Each attendance grouped by category of patient (up to 25 categories)
Each attendance by type of attendance (various groups)
How should I set up the data to show these things in a way that it can be linked to a text file and refreshed daily on opening? the data at the moment is in rows per attendance rather than grouped in any way.
I would like the data to have dates and months etc automatically genetared by the attendance date in order to graph the above indicators, as well as a % atttendance in relation to capacity per room etc
simple excel template that I could try to manipulate my data into so I can get started. The data is generates using a transact SQL query and saved as a text file which I wabt to use for the daily stats.
