Store Current Sheet Name As Variable
Aug 27, 2008
I have a workbook that is composed of forty (or so) worksheets containing data and a single summary worksheet that has command buttons that take the user to the appropriate data worksheet for their specific project. Each data worksheet is exactly the same in terms of where the header row starts, and the specific headings.
On each data worksheet there is a command button that when clicked, builds a pivot table of the data for the current project. I have been able to create VBA code that hides the columns containing the data and then creates the pivot table in the empty (unhidden) columns n the same worksheet. This works fine, but is not a good solution from a useability standpoint.
What I have been trying to do is when the command button is clicked I want to capture the name of the current worksheet as a variable in VBA, go to a separate worksheet to build the pivot table, and when the user clicks a ‘Review Data’ command button on the pivot table worksheet they are taken back to their original worksheet containing their data. Is this possible?

Is it possible to store format of a sheet in a variable?
I have one sheet. i want to select all cell. then copy the formatting of this sheet(template) in a variable. is that possible? does variable need to be a clipboard? if it is in clipboard how to reference it? i.e if i have two or three formats stored in a clipboard how to select and paste the second one?
once i store this in a variable, i will paste in new sheets(about 50 of them) so that all these new sheets have same format as the template.
what is the easiest to do that?

I have a simple Excel file with some columns as you can see from here:
[URL]
I have a simple formula (COUNTIFS) to count occurrence of certain condition that I specified. everything works fine here, but I also need to write current value of count cell at the end of each qualified row.
Data entry is random and I may work on row 1 and then row 25, so incremental row numbers that is shown by excel is not my answer. I need exact number of occurrence for each qualified row.

EXAMPLE: Complete Sheet called "Day1". When day1 is complete you click on button and it then copies itself and creates and renames new sheet to "Day2", then when "Day2" is complete you click on button and it then copies itself and creates and renames new sheet to "Day3", and so on and so forth to "Day30".

I have some code (listed below) that will open 2 groups of files(for testing purposes, I have been using for only 2 file prefixes, but will need for upwards of 10, and more may be added in the future), depending on what files have been opened in the past (it will skip those) and then import the new ones.
I am now trying to clean up my code, and having alot of it abled to be maintained be editing a spreadsheet (administator controlled)
What I would like to do is something similar to:
defvar= cells(1,1) 'where cells(1,1) has all of the info for that file to import
Selection.TextToColumns defvar
I realize this will probably be a little more complicated than this, and may even be its own sub or funtion.
Here is my starting code, and it works fine: ...

I have several words in sheet2.one word per line. every line in sheet1 should be checked and deleted if the line (colum 3 and 4) contains any of the words in sheet2. i decided to go with two for-loops, my Problem is a error in line 7 and 9 (indicated by arrows). it seems to me that ...Cells(...).Value is not allowed for strings. i already tried .Text, checked several VBA Forums but could not find a solution.

I need a bit of help with the below macro which I am trying to create. I recorded the below vlookup, which works perfectly. It checks a list on sheet “Map” and returns a value depending on whether the reference is one of the 6 or not. These 6 are likely to change over time so I would prefer to declare them as variables rather than build them directly into the macro

way to store a cell's location to variables.
Something like:
int a, b
Cell(a, b) = ActiveCell
I'm currently working with a fairly large worksheet, and I'm using Cells. Find to look for a specific cell. Then I want to Filter that column, but I can't figure out what column Selection.AutoFilter Field:=? should be.

I would like to record the address of the last set of cells that data was input into to a variable so that a user can choose to delete the last entry. An 'Undo' button really.
What I have is a user form that writes different materials to thier respective sheets in the database. (Material1, Material2, etc.) Some materials have a different number of variables (some have a width and some don't, but all have a quantity.)
This is the code I have for adding the material to the database (each material has it's own button with material specific code.)
Private Sub AddToMaterial1_Click()
Set c = Worksheets("Material1").Range("a65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
c.Value = Me.Material1Quantity.Value
c.Offset(0, 1).Value = Me.Material1Description.Value
c.Offset(0, 2).Value = Me.Material1Length.Value
Dim lastenty1
lastentry1 = c.Address
Dim lastentry2
lastentry2 = c.Offset(0, 1).Address
Dim lastentry3
lastentry3 = c.Offset(0, 2).Address
Dim lastentry4
lastentry4 = c.Offset(0, 3).Address
Dim lastentry5
lastentry5 = vbNullString
Dim lastentry6
lastentry6 = vbNullString
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
The following code is what I am trying to do for a single button to clear the last entry to the database.
Private Sub RemoveLastEntry_Click()
Range(lastentry1).ClearContents
Range(lastentry2).ClearContents
Range(lastentry3).ClearContents '(There is always at least 3 cells to clear)
If lastentry4 = nullstring Then Exit Sub
Range(lastentry4).ClearContents
If lastentry5 = nullstring Then Exit Sub
Range(lastentry5).ClearContents
If lastentry6 = nullstring Then Exit Sub
Range(lastentry6).ClearContents
End Sub

I am having trouble using the find function. I need to store a date as a variable and then find this date on another worksheet. The date is in the following format:
dd-mmm-yy
This is what I currently have which gives me a run time error 91:
Code:
Dim DateSearch As Date
DateSearch = Range("C3").Value
Cells.Find(What:=DateSearch, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate

I have a table in which I have a "patient" column and a "page" column. The macro searches for a patient's number, then looks if this patient has the page "900.--". A patient may have more than one page, which will result in many rows with the same patient number. So far, my macro uses the search function to find a patient number, then compares the cell next to the active cell to see if it contains the page "900.--". If not, then my macro searches for the next patient and so on until the page is found and noted into another workbook or none is found.
In order to stop the loop, I am trying to store the address of the first cell found into a variable "rFirstCell" so that it can later on be compared to another variable, "rSecondCell", which represent the active cell. When both are the same, it means all the available search results have been tested and the loop should stop.
Sub testing()
Dim rRng As Range, rFirstCell As Range, rSecondCell As Range
Set rRng = Worksheets("Overview").[a1]
Dim sDeath As String
sDeath = "death"
ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = False
If LCase(rRng(2, 15).Value) = "x" Then
If LCase(rRng(2, 9).Value) = sDeath Then
Workbooks("DM Endpoint pages_test.xls").Activate
Range("A1").Select...........................

I have a list of names from cell A1:A10 in sheet "Input." Each of these names has its own corresponding sheet in the workbook. I want to be able to run the same exact VBA code for each sheet. In other words, I am trying to get my name variable to automatically change to the next value on sheet "Input." I'm sure this is pretty simple to do, but I can't seem to find anything that works!

I am looking for macro that when run, will open a file explorer window and prompt the user to select a folder and file where they have data stored. Then I need it to be stored as a variable and used as a part of a "Workbook.Open Filename" command.
The reason for this is that, I have a huge formatting marco stored within a workbook. When a user extracts a report from SAP, I want the workbook to grab the file that is extracted, open it and import all of the data in order to be formatted.

How to store a value in variable after concatenation of two values and putting it into the same cell.
Let assume, in cell A1, we have value 1 (numeric). And in code i have a variable with stored value as "%".
Now i want to concatenate 1 and % and put it back into cell A1 as 1%.
I have a written a code, but seems to be wrong one.
Sub Percentage()
Per = "%"
lr = Sheets("Process Overview").Cells(Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 10 To Sheets("Process Overview").Cells(Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Row
If Cells(i, 4).Value = "p" Then

I have a spreadsheet with near 300 tabs, each with a picture in the tab. The main tab has a list of all other tabs, the goal is to allow the user to click on a cell next to an entry, and have Excel flash the referenced tab to allow the user to see what the entry is referencing. I have written a simple macro that activates a desired tab, unhides it, displays a message box to pause the macro, rehides the tab, then returns the user to the main tab.
Rather than creating a macro for all 300 tabs and creating buttons I would love to use the Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByBal Target As Range) or some variation thereof, to make my life much easier. The name of the tab is in cell A2, so I would want to have the user click on cell A1, activate the macro, then take A1 to A2 with something like A1 = A(x+1)->A2, then display the tab listed in A2. So rather than have 300 macros with Sheets("XYZ").Visible = True, I would love it to read Sheets(contents of referenced cell).Visible = True. with the contents of referenced cell coming from some manipulation of the cell I clicked on...

I need to store a known index, unknown value in a variable so I can increase the value and use it in a database. It is used as a version number for a part and the versions go like: "00" -> "AA" -> "AB" -> .... -> "AZ" -> "BA"... etc.
VB:
If tool.Worksheets("TRB Database").Cells(A, "R").Value <>
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Design Calculator, Q").Cells(7, "C").Value Or
tool.Worksheets("TRB Database").Cells(A, "AA").Value <>
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Design Calculator, Q").Cells(5, "K").Value Or tool.Worksheets("TRB Database")
[Code] ....
That is a part of the increase and when I try to increase "AA" by 1 it goes to "B" and not "AB".
VB: tool.Worksheets("TRB Database").Cells(row1, "D").Value = Chr(Asc(tool.Worksheets("TRB Database").Cells(A, "D").Value) + 1)
This is where I increase the value.

I have the master data in sheet 1 with the some details of different stores eg store 1, store2, store3 etc which are in Column D.
I need to filter the data by each store and paste in the new sheet.
If i use advance filter>copy to another location, the system is not allowing to select different sheet.
is ther any way that If I run the macro, the data is filterd by Store names and the same data should be pasted in a different sheet with the store name. that is all the data related to Store1 should be pasted in Store1 Sheet.

I have a Macro that opens a closed file to VLookup some info and pull it to my spreadsheet then close that workbook. the problem I have run into is writing the Macro correctly so if I were to change the file name of the workbook I am running the macro with that it will still use the range declared for the workbook. I have colored the file path that I want to dim in Blue so that it will be easier to see what im trying to do. here is my current macro that works perfectly unless I save my current workbook under a different file name...

The first line of the code chooses the columns to select; all columns until there is no value. From there I need to have it sort those columns based on row 1. The problem is that the columns chosen are variable. It could be columns I:N (as shown below) or column G:Z or any other combination. (The code below was recorded if that matters at all.)

I've got a bit of a quandary here that my novice programming skills can't seem to solve.
Here is the scenario. I work for a photographic library. We have a spreadsheet that contains 5 or so columns, and a couple of thousand rows. Essentially each row contains an imagine code (the number we use to file away the imagine, ie. US_NY_NYC_1 ) in the first cell, and the image information in the following cells (ie metadata, keywords, photographer, date, etc).
so a typical row would look as follows:
Filename | Keywords | Photographer | Metadata | Location |
all the keyword, photographer, metadata, and location information can only be tied to the one image code whose cell begins the row.
Now, here is my dilemma. This sheet (lets call it the master sheet) contains all the images we have in a given batch. However, when a client orders images, we will send them most images in that batch, but not all, and we may send a few additional. So I have a separate sheet that contains only those image codes that the client requested. What I need to do is essentially take a code from the second sheet, find that same code in the master sheet, and copy over all the cells associated with that code's row. If the number does not exist in the master sheet, simply leave that row with only the code in the first cell, and the rest blank, and move on.
so for example, in my second sheet lets say I have the following A_B_C . I would like for excel to find that same code in the master sheet, and then copy over the metadata, photographer, date, etc, associated with that code, and paste it into the second sheet, so that that row in the second sheet now looks identical to the row with the same image code in the master sheet . If A_B_C does not exist in the master spreadsheet, then I would like excel to simply leave that code in its own row, leave the rest of the row blank, and move on to the next code.

I'm trying to create a function in a template invioce that will look up a value in another spread sheet (fees).The data will be based off three values entered in the invioce from drop down boxes. I've attached the workbook with the master sheet and the invioce (sheet 5) The three criteria that can be selected is the project, month and name and I want the amount of hours to be returned based on that information in column e. The projects are seperated and billed by month.

- I have total of 13 sheets in a workbook - 12 sheets represent 12 months with data; 13th sheet is single sheet in which i would like to get complete overview of 12 months
- each of 12 sheets has actually sales results for multiple products with following data: internal code, manufacturer part number, name, and qty sold in that month
- situation is that some products have been phased out during the year and some were introduced so each sheet is slightly different in terms of in which row certain product is located
What i would like to achive is to make 13th sheet (whole year overview) do the following:
- there is a list of all the products in it, each product has unique internal code - this code (from each line) should be used to find that code in each monthly sheet, then find its monthly sales value (copy it) and paste it in sheet 13 in cell that represents this product and particular month.
In other words i would like to see for each product what was monthly sales throughout this year, but avoid manually filling in qty for each product per month.

I am trying to determine the currently active row on another sheet; that is, the row that would be active if I switched to that sheet. Is there any way of doing that without using the ActiveWindow object? It seems clumsy to have to change the active window to the one I am interested in, get the information I need and then change it back again; but I haven't been able to find a property that I can just retrieve off the sheet object. Even so, I am using the following code and it isn't fetching the value from the target sheet anyway. It is returning the current row from the sheet that is calling the function.
