i'm having a really hard time figuring out how to use target. offset to grab a range of cells. For Example:
I am currently running a macro that searches column "D:D" for data. When the data is found, i want to be able to Grab columns D to AG for that row, and apply conditional formatting. It seems like using Target.Offset should be able to accomplish this, but i can't figure out how to specify a range using Target.Offset. Currently, i have to specify each cell i'd like to select, and apply formatting one at a time, which has bloated my code considerably (and causes me to run out of room very quickly).
This code works fine, but it does not look professional. I tried to write like: If Application.Intersect(Target, rng1, rng2, rng4, rng5) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
it did not work, but as it is down here it worked
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Dim rng1 As Range, rng2 As Range, rng3 As Range, rng4 As Range, rng5 As Range On Error Goto NoValidation Set rng1 = Range("B28:B55") Set rng2 = Range("D28:D55") Set rng4 = Range("H28:H55") Set rng5 = Range("J28:J55") If Application.Intersect(Target, rng1) Is Nothing Then If Application.Intersect(Target, rng2) Is Nothing Then If Application.Intersect(Target, rng4) Is Nothing Then If Application.Intersect(Target, rng5) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub End If End If End If End If End If If Target. Validation.InCellDropdown Then Application.SendKeys "%{Up}" NoValidation: Err.Clear End Sub
The Bs. consulting can take any values from business process like Bp1 or Bp1 or Bp2...
for this i have written validation macro
If Target.Address = "$C$21" Or Target.Address = "$D$21" Or Target.Address = "$E$21" Or Target.Address = "$F$21" Or Target.Address = "$G$21" Or Target.Address = "$H$21" Then
do the validation;
end if;
this works fine, but i need to use or condition , is there any better way to write this, a more compact way,
Below shows a example table: *ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY11458912131415192122232728293234363741444548492314
The table above has numbers from A1:Y1. The blue number is the target number, which is selected in cell H3. I want selected numbers from the target number H1 going along each 3 numbers on the right to get the number 22 which is after the 3rd distance. For example the number would be 22, 29, 37 and 48, which are all in red. After the number 48 it should start counting from the beginning and reach to the target point H1. In this way it will select 5 and 13 also. In total it would be 6 numbers selected. The target point can be selected from A1:Y1 but in this example case is H1.
The table below shows the final 6 numbers, which are obtained after the results along each 3rd distance numbers. *AAABACADAEAF1222937485132
I keep losing my named ranges when attempting to reopen a particular file I am working on. I get the "excel found unreadable content....." error message and then when it corrects, the range names are all gone. is it efficient to create the named ranges at open? Otherwise how should it be done so that my workbook will definitely have these names each time its used?
I am a novice excel and VBA user, but have been working the past few days on a project to create a data entry form (using Excel 2003 on WinXP). I have the userform created and the textboxes working fine for inputting data into the spreadsheet. I also have comboboxes set up, and if I directly input data into them, they also input that data. So far, so good.
(problem)
Here is my issue: I want the comboboxes to use dynamic / variable ranges, so I have been trying to set up the ranges by defining them as names. I've come across a bunch of examples, but none of them seem to work (all produce an error that the formula is not correct or instead seem to reset the name to just the first cell when I input it).
My sheet is called Dropdown Lists, and there is a column here for each combobox. Each row in a column has the options I'd like used for that combobox. So I am basically trying to name a range as the entries in just one column.
This is what I have been working with most recently in the Name - > Define dialog box that according to everything I read -SHOULD- be working:
This produces an error, that when you hit OK highlights "$A$3" - and if I remove the $ symbols, it skips then to the "$A:$A" until I remove THOSE $ symbols, and then excel will accept it, but when I go to the name, it only highlights one cell. I thought maybe that was OK, but when I tried putting the name into my rowsource, nothing happened - so apparently not.
Questions:
(main question) - Why will this not input correctly when everything I read suggests this format? Am I not handling the space in the worksheet name correctly (with ' ')? Sometimes excel will automatically add in " " between = and OFFSET and the closing at the end, but this also has not helped. One source I read even recommended taking off the = at the start (also did not help). Am I missing something here?
(follow-up questions) - Why are you supposed to use "$" before the cell references anyway? I've looked for an answer but haven't found one yet... is that for when you make cell references to cells on an external worksheet?
- What is the "Add" button for on the Name -> Define dialog box? I'm confused to if I am supposed to use this to add the name to the list of defined names, or just hit OK?
- At the bottom of the Name -> Define dialog box is the "Refers To:" field with the formula. On the right of that you can hit a button to go to what seems like another (smaller) formula input box. Why would I ever use that when I could just type it in on the previous box? There is no label for it so I am guessing here - but does it actually do something else (like you need to go to that smaller dialog to input new formulas and the previous box is only for -viewing- formulas, or?)?
The Sheet below is an example of what I need to fill in daily
In column B I have the week commencing date (ie the Monday)
When the sheet is opened, I want the approriate day to be selected (ie the day before the current day)
Eg. if today is Friday 16th November, when the sheet is opened I want the cell for Sales on Thursday of the week which begins with 12/11/07 to be selected ie L5
If today is Monday 26th November i want Sales on Sunday of the week which begins with 19/11/07 to be selected ie U6 ....
I am trying to select a range in VBA, where I know the name of the starting cell, and the size of the range are values returned earlier in the VBA function. I guess the pseudocode I am trying to do is: range(range("StartCell"):range("StartCell").Offset(x,y)).Select. Obviously this code doesn't work, but I don't know the correct way to select this range
I use the standard OFFSET-COUNT-MATCH method to create dynamic named ranges in my Excel projects. Needless to say, this method won't work on a spreadsheet with formulas extending beyond the current range. The count function counts the cells containing formulas, even though they may contain no data. Does anyone know how to construct a formula that will IGNORE the "formula only" cells??
i am needing to issue a dos command in excel? basically i need to send a target link to a file. i cant use a hyper link for several reasons, and this is the only way i know how to go about this.
Find a specific text in my column B (example : "Proposal ID"), when "Proposal ID" is found, select this cell and offset to the column C (Offset(0, 1)). Then copy this cell value in another sheet.
This will be repeated with different texts (always in the column B), so if the text is not found, I need the macro to continue running.
I am currently using an Intersect statement in a worksheet module to perform two things: 1. Insert a time stamp into row 2 when row 1 has a price inserted 2.To clear that time stamp if the price is deleted at some later date.
My problem is with the time stamp value being deleted by the user. If I try to clear the price (now that the time cell =empty) I get a Runtime error 91 - Object Variable or With block variable not set.
I would like to convert this code to a select case statement but I'm not sure how to do this in this situation. Would error coding be appropriate in this instance?
I am trying to achieve the below objective but getting error message
Objective: select last non blank row and offset to next cell type a message in it error message: Runtime error 1004 : method 'Range' of Object '_Global' Failed
CODE:
Sub lastRowAll() myvar = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(11).Column myrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(11).Row Range(myvar, myrow).Offset(0, 1).Value = "Experiments with VBA" Range(myvar, myrow).Offset(0, 1).Activate End Sub
how to play with data ranges and define names for charts to automatically update them by using the formula offset + counta. An example would be: =OFFSET(Sheet1!$B$7,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$B$6:$B$37)-1).
So, the problem comes when there is a need to select a data range which is not that well defined like $B$6:$B$37. So, I need to import data regularly into my workbook, this data will be imported right below of the last cell with values.
Now, how would I manage to automatically select the data range from this new import for my chart? See attached example. I have highlighted in Yellow a potential import... there is no data in there so feel freel to fill it with any numbers you like.
I have tried to use a vlookup to find Country+Programme+Year (cat1 in the example) in the 'counta' part of the formula above. But I get lost,as a vlookup would retrieve a value and would not be useful for the data range?
I am trying to find a macro that can search a sheet for any cell that contains the text "Not on AOI" selects a range that contains that cell, 81 rows below, and 2000 columns to the right, then cuts the selection and pastes it 162 rows below the original cell where the text was found. What's hard is that the number of columns between the "Not on AOI" cells is variable.
I'm very new to excel macros and the parts I think I've put together are:
I have 2 ranges which on their own seem to work fine (I have check by just putting ".Select" at the end of both of them). The issue is that I want to apply the same border format to both ranges, however, when I try to put them together in a "With" statement it includes all of the range from the top to the bottom and not just the 2 two ranges. Ranges being used:
(1). selecting a specific range to copy that is within a table but starting at a specific row to the bottom of the table. E.g. Range("C4").Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select Selection.Copy
(2) finding the last row and then setting as a variable: Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Select lLastRow = ActiveCell.Row
I have a protected worksheet with 60 columns (20 sets of 3), and want to give my users the ability to hide the columns they're not using. There's a row of unprotected cells below the columns in question with data validation allowing a choice of either Show or Hide, and want my macro to act based on thier choices.
Since it's a large spreadsheet, I don't want to run 60 (or 20) different hide commands, if at all possible.
Is there a way to read the 60 different Show/Hide cells (or 20 range names) and join those into a single VB range so I can run the EntireColumn.hidden = True statement once?
The User has made multiple selections with the mouse. The spreadsheet is filtered. The user will usually make different multiple selections on the following columns: A and X through to AR (inclusive).
I just need some code to capture these various multiple selected ranges so that I can copy the selected range as shown below:
I am trying to do something that sounds fairly straightforward but have not been able to achieve the final result.
I have a sheet which has multiple range addresses stored in different cells and so far I have been able to pass the Range address to Range variables by looping through a range array. Now I would like to select these multiple ranges. My code looks as below;
VB:
Dim Cnt As Integer Cnt = Sheets("Sheet1").(Range("1040").Value ' Cnt holds the the total number of ranges to be specified in Sheet1 Dim RStr(1 To 80) As String ' This will hold the range addresses specified in Sheet1 in cells C1041 to C1120. Upto 80 range addresses could be specified. [SIZE=2] Dim Rng(1 To 80) As Range ' This will store the ranges based on the range addresses stored in RStr() Dim i, j As Integer,
[Code]...
I am not sure on how to select multiple ranges using range array hence tried Union() however it is obviously not correct and throws an error.
I'm building a macro thats copying 4 rows of data at a time from a spreadsheet (has 1500 rows of data total) and transposing it to a master spread sheet. There are blank rows in between each entry (the data source I'm using isn't clean), so how can I either have the macro jump to the first row it finds with a value, copy rows until it stops finding a value, paste+transpose into a new document and then repeat the process throughout the document.
If thats too complicated, a macro that finds rows based on a formula would work as well. E.g. Start at row 5, copy+paste+transpose 5-8, start at row 11 (5+6), copy + paste+transpose 11-14, start at row 17 (x+6) ...etc... Here's the code I have developed thus far:
I have main worksheet (target a) that I am trying to populate data from target(worksheet) b. The data I am trying to get from target b changes every month,(declining balance) based on a new month. So how can I get financial data from different cell each month from "b" into same cell in "a"? (so "A" # would be overwritten in same cell based on new # from "B". I have tried VLookup but can't be doing something correct.
If MonthView control can be set to allow users to select multiple ranges and enter different dates into those ranges? I know I was able to do with with the previous Datepicker control and I thought it was as easy as setting the Show Modal property to true.
I am using a piece of track changes VBA code mentioned on this site, which among other things creates a new column that reports the number of any cell that has been changed (e.g., $K$32). What I would like to do is, next to that cell, report the title of the row in which that cell appears. In other words, if someone changes cell $K$32, for easier reference I'd like others to be able to see that this cell appears in a row titled "New Sales". I'll be happy to clarify with more specifics if need be.
I am having some difficulties using a combination of IF and the OFFSET function to display a range of cell values from another column based on a simple condition. The values I need to display at the destination cells should be offset by 8 columns to the right and "X" rows down from the reference column. The value "X" is to be determined via the IF function to check for the row index number.
For example, if Index value "X" = 8, then display the value of B2 in cell I9. IF X = "9", display B2 in cell I10 etc.
I have attached a sample worksheet that provides some examples.
