Stop Graph From Changing Named Range To Formula Range
Sep 8, 2006
I am trying to create a graph for a range of data that updates monthly (adding an extra month each time). I wanted the graph source data to update automatically each time the data is refreshed so used an OFFSET formula to identify a named range. I then point the graph to the named range as the source data.
When I enter the range as the source data the graph picks it up. However, when I re-enter the source data option on the graph it has converted the named range into a cell written range (ie. replaces "=QUALITY" with "='Front page'!$B$7:$J$10" - which therefore will not update when the range increases.

If I have a formula that uses cells that are currently blank - and then run a macro that puts data into those cells - the original formula cell ranges change - even if I put $ within the ranges.
i.e.
Cell A1 has formula = sumproduct(e1:e10>10)
Currently cells E1:E10 are empty
Run the macro
E1:E10 now has data in.
But formula in cell A1 now reads something like =sumproduct(E13:E23>10) or could read =sumproduct(Ref#>10)

I am trying to automate a graph for data that is not always the same amount but always in the same format. I have attached a spreadsheet that has an example of the data.
Columns B, D, & E are the ones that I am interested in charting in a line with markers type graph, but the rows may be 100 for one set of data and 1000 rows for another set of data. I am trying to get the macro to open a new worksheet and as part of the macro create a userform that will ask for the text information on the top of the worksheet (as this is not always correct when imported).

I have a vast database where I have linked charts. I send the data from a macro to the database and sometimes there are 1000 inputs and sometimes there are only 20.
How would i set up my charts to only graph the inputs that are present?

I have a master workbook ("database") containing many named ranges (ex "Contact"). I have another workbook template ("estimate") that I rename for each project and it too has named ranges (ex "Contact") referring to the named ranges in "database" (ex =DataBase.xlsm!Contact). I am saving "database" on multiple PC's and syncing to the cloud (skydrive / onedrive) so that I can access "database" from multiple PC's. What I'm finding is everything works fine as long as "estimate" or whatever I've renamed it is opened on the same PC it was created on.
If I open estimate on another PC the named ranges in estimate are renamed by addition of a prefix including the complete path to "database" (ex "='C:UsersJasonSkyDriveDocumentsDaikinServiceToolsDataBase.xlsm'!Component"). This renaming prevents the named ranges in "estimate" from working on other pc's because this specific path doesn't exist on other PC's, only the PC it was created on. Is there a way to name the named ranges in estimate by only the workbook name (=DataBase.xlsm!Contact) without the entire path being automatically added as a prefix?

I am doing an Advanced Filter, and I am using a named range in my VBA code that decides the Criteria range.
The dynamic named range is called 'Criteria' and this is the code:
VB:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$2,0,0,Sheet1!$BZ$23,41)
However, when I run the VBA code, although it works perfectly, afterwards the named range has changed to:
VB:
=Sheet1!$A$2:$AO$3
I just want this to remain unchanged, as it works great. This is my VBA code:
VB:
'Filter and send data to new sheet
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Cells.Select
[Code]....

I have created a macro (data on the left hand side) that allows me to copy data and paste it into an sql file. The problem i am having is that the data varies (e.g. data on the right) so this doesnt actually work. i was thinking of naming the values within the name ranges and then writing code to see if i can copy particular named range values but i dont know if this will work.

I have a named range that expands and contracts based upon the amount of data that is in some column. Call it AllData_UsedRange.
I have another named range that actually refers to a range. Call it AllData.
Column A
Row2 56
Row3 44
Row4 65
AllData is a named range that refers to the range A2:A65536
AllData_UsedRange refers to A2:A4 by way of this formula.
=OFFSET(AllData,0,0,COUNTA(AllData))
How to I obtain an address of AllData_UsedRange in VBA code?
These do not work...
ThisWorkbook.Names("AllData_UsedRange").RefersToRange.Address
Evaluate(ThisWorkbook.Names("AllData_UsedRange"))

I have a set of four pivot tables on a sheet that I need to programmatically change a Report Filter (Page Field) so I can create sets of reports in an automated fashion. This will be the first step in that process. The change will involve choosing > 1 Role each time the code loops through based on Named Ranges I've defined that are associated with that Role.
My code thus far:
Code:
Sub TestCode()
Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim pf As PivotField
Dim pi As PivotItem
[Code]....
emm_dc_gsr is one of many Named Ranges that will contain a variable number of elements. Just using the one right now to see if I can get the code to work, I'll eventually make another Named Range/Array of all them so I can loop through each Report ("ReportPick").
I want the Report Filter to consult that Named Range for its values and apply those values to PivotField "Role" that is used as a Report Filter.
When running this code above, I get a "Role" Field that says "All" but no values (the table is completely blank), with no evidence as to why it'd be blank (all filters in every Report, Column and Row are working normally and are filled in). When I choose a value manually after the code is run, the pivot table values populate. Do I need to somehow index the Named Range in that loop? I'm just confused about this step right here:
For Each pi In pf.PivotItems
If pi.Value = RolePick Then
pi.Visible = True
Else: pi.Value = False
When I've run other versions of the code, I've gotten an array version of it to "work" using LBound and UBound, but it never chooses the right two values even though those are verified as stored in the array via a pass-through. It chooses the first few values in the Report Filter.
Here's the corresponding code for that:
For i = LBound(myArray) To UBound(myArray)
pf.PivotItems(i).Name = myArray(i, 1).Value
pf.PivotItems(i).Visible = True
Next
I do not care if I use an array or a Named Range. I just want something that is simple and works. Passing the values directly from the named range seems easiest to my brain, but I'm open to anything and I'm clearly missing something (probably silly).
I also have no idea why " .AutoSort xlManual, .SourceName, .EnableMultiplePageItems" is necessary though every piece of sample code I've seen seems to have some variation of it.

I'm trying to write some code to make an existing chart display the correct series of data. However, on the ".SeriesCollection..." lines, it gives me the error "Object does not support this property or method." I'm using a Bar-Line graph, if it makes any difference.

Let's say you have a named range, Rng1, which consists of cells A1 & A2. In vba how would you report back what, if any, named range the following cells resides:
Code] .....
here are multiple named ranges so using intersect is not feasible. Essentially, through code, I will be given a range and I need to determine if that range if part of a named range.

I have several workshts in a file with a summary worksht. I have named ranges of data on each by salesperson. How can I use a formula to get the named range from each tab to show up on the summary sheet. I tried (=Smith!AugustSales), which is the - sheet name Smith and the named range AugustSales, but I get an error.

Lets say that B2:B100 contains a list of numbers, and it is named RANGE1
Is it possible to make by using any formula -another named range (RANGE2) based on the first but contains every 2nd or third cell of the original range.
The solution must avoid creating another column - it has to be one formula that can be used as new named range in any application (chart series...etc.)

I'm trying to make my named ranges remember the values of the last active cells used within another named range. The purpose of this is to make my charts dynamically change dependant on two criteria selected. My spreadsheet currently updates itself as and when I change the active cell within a single named range, dynamically changing the chart data by using Lookup based on the active cells value. However I want to get away from having several charts showing, I would like to have a single chart which dynamically changes based on a second selection. So the first selection is for a department (Facility) which changes the chart data relevant to that department, the second selection is to dynamically change the chart shown for the pre selected department.
Picture2.jpg
Using the following code when updating just one criteria with several charts
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(ActiveCell, [MeasureType]) Is Nothing Then
[valMeasurePicked] = ActiveCell.Value [code].....
which works fine but I'm not sure how to add a second selection criteria because my code uses Activecell. I thought that the VBA needed to set the last used value of a range as a variable and therefore allow the second criteria to be selected but am not sure how to put it into practice.

I want to be able to do is to have a text value in a cell which will be the same as a named range and can be called from a formula in another cell. For example, I have three named ranges: JAN, FEB and MAR. Instead of having a formula which might read: =VLOOKUP("bill", JAN, 1, 1)
I would like to have in cell A1 the text value "JAN" so that the formula can read:
=VLOOKUP("bill", A1, 1, 1)
Then I can change which named range is used in the formula but changing the value in cell A1. When I try to do this, the formula just looks up the value as if cell A1 was the range rather than taking the value from A1 as the named range.

I know I've asked before but I can neither find my previous question or the answer.
So, once again.... is it possible to refer to a named range in a CSE array formula?
I know how I would type a formula that way -- but I would be happy to see an example.
Most importantly, will it always work? Or are there pitfalls and dangers?

I have as the two logical operators for an IF function the following COUNTA calculation which checks how many blanks are in the range GrdMtx7 and subtracts this from the value in E5 and adds the suffix "Module(s)".
Code:
(E5-COUNTA(GrdMtx7)-1)&" Module(s)",(E5-COUNTA(GrdMtx7)&" Module(s)")))
GrdMtx7 is a non-contiguous range consisting of the following cell references on a second sheet:
Code:
='Mod Schedule'!$E$7,'Mod Schedule'!$H$7,'Mod Schedule'!$K$7,'Mod Schedule'!$N$7,'Mod Schedule'!$Q$7,'Mod Schedule'!$T$7,'Mod Schedule'!$W$7,'Mod Schedule'!$Z$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AC$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AC$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AF$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AI$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AL$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AO$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AR$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AU$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AX$7
I need for the formula of the IF function to copy down so that it refers to F5, G5, H5, I5...etc.
I also need for the non-contiguous named range GrdMtx7 to refer to the same non-contiguous range shifted down one row intact for the COUNTA function to operate on the next row down, such that COUNTA is checking for blanks in the range:
Code:
='Mod Schedule'!$E$8,'Mod Schedule'!$H$8,'Mod Schedule'!$K$8,'Mod Schedule'!$N$8,'Mod Schedule'!$Q$8,'Mod Schedule'!$T$8,'Mod Schedule'!$W$8,'Mod Schedule'!$Z$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AC$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AC$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AF$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AI$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AL$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AO$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AR$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AU$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AX$8
I can't get got to work at all using OFFSET and would rather not create dozens or hundreds of named ranges incrementing one at a time - is there a way to achieve this, preferably with a formula, but vba if absolutely necessary.
My best effort doesn't work:
Code:
(E6-COUNTA(OFFSET(GrdMtx7,1,))-1)&" Module(s)",(E6-COUNTA(OFFSET(GrdMtx7,1,)))&" Module(s)")

I have several named ranges with 4 column each. The named ranges have all the same names but with the tow last digits ranging from 00 to 50 by increments of 5 (ie 00, 05, 10, 15 etc.). The 4 columns for each of the named ranges have the following headings; 10, 100, 50 ,70. I have two cells with drop down lists with the list of the suffixes of the named ranges in cell e5 (ie 00, 05, 10, etc) and in g5 a drop down list with the 4 headings for the columns (10, 100, 50, 70)
I want to refer to these 2 values so that in column B, I can get the values of the column chosen for the given named range. For example, the column "100" for the named range THRESHOLD_10. In cell C1, I entered the following formula ="THRESHOLD_"& E5 which gives me the named range name. I entered the following function in the first cell of column B = index(C1,2,G5) but get a #REF! answer. If I write the following formula =index(THRESHOLD_10,2,G5) I get the right value.
how to get about it, and indirect(C1), but still gets a #REF! message. When I evaluate the formula, the named range appears with quotes "" which might be the reason that it cannot work. I am nearly there...but for the syntax and cannot get that working!

I have a named range which refers to: =MATCH(LARGE($G$5:$G$68,ROW(G5)-4),G$5:G$68,0)+4. It is supposed to find the largest figure in the adjacent column, list its row in cell H5, then the second largest for cell H6 and so on until the end of the data. The data in column G is dynamic and some cells will contain "0" with certain sections of data thus why I need a formula and cannot just use sort each time.
My problem is that when I use the formula as a named range I get "#N/A" and when I evaluate the formula I will get the answer but in array brackets (e.g.{17}) before the final step turns it to "#N/A". The formula will work fine if inputted directly into the cell but as the same formula will be used over three columns and numerous rows I would much prefer to use a named range.

I’m wondering if it possible to have a variable in a Formula. I was looking around, but non of the other examples I found was working. The code I was trying is:
Sub All()
Dim lngDataRows As Long
Dim lngDataRowsSum As Long
' add sum
lngDataRowsSum = Range("A5").End(xlDown).Row
Range("A" & lngDataRowsSum).Offset(1, 0).FormulaR1C1 = "Sum"
Range("M" & lngDataRowsSum).Offset(1, 0).FormulaR1C1 = "=sum(M6:M & lngdatarowssum)"
End Sub
Another code I tried was from this thread
Sub All()
Dim lngRowsBottom As Long
Dim lngRowsTop As Long
' add sum
lngDataRowsSum = Range("A5").End(xlDown).Row
Range("C10").formula = "=sum(R["&lngrowstop&"]C:R["&lngrowsbottom&"]C)"
End Sub
The error message is: “Compile error: Expected: enf of statement” and the part “[C:R[“ is highlighted. Tried various ways to solve it but nothing was working.
Does anyone of you know how to get it up and running?

Can you use Row & Column numbers in a Formula the way you can in VBA?
I want to do the same as Range(Cells(5,2)) in VBA EXCEPT in a Formula
because I want to use named ranges for the Row & column entries. (And I don't want to have to run a macro every time a change is made. The spreadsheet is huge enough already. It's slow on my machine & I have the biggets baddest PC in the company!)
Using Formulas only, (not VBA) I would like to create a Dynamic Named Range, LastUsedRow, which is the ROW NUMBER of the Last Used Cell in Column C
(it would = 470)
Also I have an existing Named Range HeaderRowNum (it = 16)
Currently I have a LOT of formulas like:
=SUMPRODUCT(($E17:$E470)*(--(CO17:CO470>0)))
problem is any new data must be added between Rows 17 & 470
So I would like to create dynamic new forumlas to read like:
SUMPRODUCT( (Cells(HeaderRowNum+1,5) : (LastUsed Row,5)) * (--(Cells(HeaderRowNum+1,93) : (LastUsed Row,93))>0) )...............

I am trying to put a SUMIF formula at the bottom of the data. Doing it manually is fine, but I want some vba to automate it, and my vba doesnt work.
Sub balance()
'adds journal line so journal balances in each month
Dim Rga As Range
Dim Rgb As Range
Dim Rgc As Range
Dim Rgd As Range
Dim Rge As Range
Dim Rgf As Range
This code just inserts text into the formula, rather than the range of cells.

how to pass a cell content into a formula as a named range? For instance, I have 3 named range (Budget, Actual, Forecast) and I use the named range in vlookup formulas. But instead of using the named range in the formula directly, I want to refer to a cell where I can type in which named range I want to use. Can this be done? I am attaching a sample spreadsheet to clarify what I mean.

I have a problem creating a circular reference with dynamic ranges. I have searched already but can't find the specifc problem. I have a spreadsheet where I use vba code to insert extra columns. Within the worksheet there are sum calculations at the end of each row. When I add a new column within the table I would like the sum calculation to expand to account for this extra column.
Now, I thought that dynamic ranges would be the way to go but the only way I can see to do it creates a circular reference as the CountA function trys to count the cell with the sum function in it.

I'm using the formula =SUMIF(F18:F18,"LY",G18:G18), =SUMIF(F18:F18,"KT",G18:G18), and so on.
I want to change the range to: =SUMIF(F7:F18,"LY",G7:G18), =SUMIF(F7:F18,"KT",G7:G18), and so on.
I can do it manually, but it's 20 rows.
Is there a way where i can change the formula range on the first and copy it down, without also copying the initials, (etc. "LY") ?

Basically on a summary page, on sheet 1 say I have a formula which picks up the unit cost (I have this as an array across 5 years)
What I then want to do is multiply this by a volume driver. I have a list of these drivers on a seperate page, so for convenience lets say DRIVER_01,DRIVER_02 etc. These are also 5 years arrays.
So what I want to do it be able to select which driver I want to use for volume on the summary, from a drop down box I have set up, and then the formula pick up that named range, and not just recognise it as a text cell.
I need the ability to change the driver in the future, hence the drop down box. I can also get the unit array part to work fine, I'm just struggling to get this driver array to work..............
