Use Macro To Create Dynamic Ranges

Jan 28, 2010

I am looking for a macro that will allow me to create a dynamic range based on the settings I give it. I would like the dynamic range to be called tracking_number and it to have a reference to =Offset(MainReport!$A$2,0,0,COUNTA(MainReport!$A:$A),1)

If this is possible I would really appreciate it. The reason I need this is because I have 2 workbooks. They are the one with the MainReport in it and then the Master workbook. Every day the workbook containing the MainReport is overwritten with more data, so I can not store a dynamic range and reference it each day.

Create Dynamic Ranges

Jun 5, 2008

I have just upgaded to Excel 2007 and previously used a Dynamic Range Wizard addin in Excel 2003 but it does not work in 2007. I think it originally come from Robert Bruce but can not find it on the web to get an update.

Create Dynamic Named Ranges With Code

Oct 13, 2007

I am employing code to label dynamic ranges that takes the form of,

ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="dms", RefersToR1C1:="=OFFSET(DMS!R10C5,0,0, COUNTA(DMS!C5),COUNTA(DMS!R10))"
'dms_j
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="dms_j", RefersToR1C1:="=OFFSET(DMS!R11C10,0,0,MATCH("" * "",DMS!C10,-1),1)"
'dms_p
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="dms_p", RefersToR1C1:="=OFFSET(DMS!R11C16,0,0,MATCH("" * "",DMS!C16,-1),1)"
'dms_r
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="dms_r", RefersToR1C1:="=OFFSET(DMS!R11C18,0,0,MATCH("" * "",DMS!C18,-1),1)"
'dms_t
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="dms_t", RefersToR1C1:="=OFFSET(DMS!R11C20,0,0,MATCH("" * "",DMS!C20,-1),1)"

The dynamic ranges are getting entered but the problem is that the range "dms" overshoots by six cells into blank cells at the bottom of the table, and the rest of the ranges overshoot by ten cells into blank cell area. I have deleted, cleared and destroyed everything around the table and re-sized the active area to no avail.

Create Chart Using Dynamic Named Ranges For Series

Jul 27, 2012

I've created my dynamic named ranges using the OFFSET function, ex.

="OFFSET(SAMPLE!$D$4,1,0,COUNTA(SAMPLE!$D:$D)-1,1)"

I'm now trying to get my chart to use that range. I read at [URL] .... that I need to make sure my series reference is a fully qualified reference. So I've entered that series reference using the name of the workbook followed by the range name (=2012-PIRS.xlsx!SAM_CLAR2DEL). I have two copies of my workbook (one as xlsm with VBA project, and one with xlsx without VBA) and I can't get Excel to accept the series value in either workbook.

ERROR MSG:
The formula you typed contains an error. Try one of the following:
- Make sure you've included all parentheses and required arguments.
- To use a function, click Insert Function on the Formulas tab (in the Function Library group).
- If you include a reference to another sheet or workbook, verify that the reference is correct.
- If you are not trying to enter a formula, avoid.........

Create User Settable Print Area With Dynamic Ranges

Jan 29, 2007

Once a user of my workbook has input various price levels on the Input Page, the data is sorted on the output page. As the data on the Output Page is quite vast and not all of it is relevant on a particular day, the user is interested in just printing a certain range of data that are in 5 columns. I am trying to figure out how to set up a macro that will allow the user to enter into an Input Box the range to print (ie. Cells C25:G60).

I found one example on this site listed below that allows one to do that but I would like to make it more user friendly. I do not want to make the user have to write out Excel cooridinates. Specifically by allowing the user to input in the Input Box a High price level in Column C and a Low Price level in Column C ; The macro will look in Column C for the highest instance of this High Price and begin the range down to the last instance of the Low Price (there can be several instances of the exact price level.) The macro would then create the print preview of the cells Cxx:Gyy.

Sub SelectPrintArea()
Dim PrintThis As Range
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = ""
Set PrintThis = Application.InputBox _
(Prompt:="Select the Print Range", Title:="Select", Type:=8)
PrintThis.Select
Selection.Name = "NewPrint"
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "NewPrint"
ActiveSheet.PrintPreview
End Sub

OFFSET-COUNT-MATCH Method To Create Dynamic Named Ranges

Dec 25, 2008

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??

Create Macro That Can Create Dynamic Copy / Paste Loop?

Feb 12, 2014

I need to create a macro that can create a dynamic copy/paste loop. So far what I have is horribly inefficient. Each row in colmn A(minus the header) has a unique number in it. For each unique number, I need to paste it based on the number of column headers in row 1(minus column A). So, if there are 20 column headers, I need to copy cell A2 and paste it 19 times in another sheet. Then, I need to move to the next number in column A and do the same thing. Here's what I have:

[Code] .........

You can see that this is not dynamic. If I add another row to my table and rerun the macro, it will not catch it. I've attached a sample file to show you the big picture of what I'm trying to do. The data that I have is in Sheet1, and I'm trying to get it into the format in Sheet3. Rows/columns will be periodically added to the table in Sheet1, so the macro needs to be dynamic to catch that. The data in Sheet3 will always remain, and the macro will add the updated data below the old data in Sheet3.

Editing Macro To Allow Dynamic Ranges?

Oct 31, 2011

having trouble editing the code to allow for dynamic ranges. I have tried to research online, but am having a hard time with it. I think I would understand better if I could see a practical example.

Here is the sample macro I recorded in Excel that I am working with:

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
'
Cells.Select
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$C$87").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1, 2, 3), _
Header:=xlNo
End Sub

How can I edit this to allow for dynamic rows and columns?

Selecting Dynamic Ranges In Macro?

Nov 30, 2011

I run a macro on a spreadheet in which the rows increase daily. In the macro I simply recorded an end.down to select a column of data which ends up being fixed row numbers in the code so the next time I run the macro it only selects the range I selected last time.

Macro Quit Working - Dynamic Named Ranges

Jun 1, 2006

I did the huge macro that names a bunch of dynamic ranges, all similar to the following: Range("=OFFSET(BD!$C$32,0,1,1,COUNT(BD!$32:$32))").Name = "ChtBDLabel"

I tested it as I went along, so I know it was working. Then I worked on several other tasks (copying the range to another location on the sheet, making graphs from the ranges). Now when I go back to run this again, I get: Run-time error '1004':
method 'Range' of object '_Global' failed. I went and looked what I thought were my named ranges, and they were wrong (not dynamic, just a cell reference). I deleted them and tried again with same error.

How To Name A Dynamic Range & Make A Validation List (of 2 Dynamic Ranges)

Dec 22, 2009

I have a range which will change in size & in content, & I want this to be a Named Range at whatever size it is.

Reason I want to is because I want to make a Validation List with this dynamic range. I also want a Validation list which lists the content of 2 or more dynamic ranges which may or may not be on the same worksheet - is this possible?

i.e.
First dynamic range: called "Milestones" at A11
Second dynamic range: called "Activities" at A25
& make a Validation list that will list content of both

Macro To Create Named Ranges Based On A Header Row.

Oct 14, 2009

I need a macro that can set up some named ranges using the text in the header row and the sheet name. The header row will always be in row one, but the number of columns will be dynamic. The amount of rows in the range will need to be dynamic also. To clarify, every used cell stating in row 2 in a column will be the named range with the sheetname+text in row one of the column the actual name.

Dynamic Starting Point For Dynamic Named Ranges

Jun 21, 2009

I would like to replace the blue bit of this Dynamic Named Range (DNR) with an INDIRECT formula in order to modify the starting point for the DNR: =OFFSET(DATA!$C$60,0,0,20,1). Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get my INDIRECT formula to work in order to use it to replace the blue bit above: INDIRECT("'"DATA"'!&ADDRESS(MATCH('SHEET1'!AC8,DATA_Date,0)+22,3)"). The orange bit of the formula above returns a value of 60, therefore the ADDRESS formula should return $C$60, that can then feed into the INDIRECT and act as the equivalent of DATA!$C$60. But it doesn’t.

Macro: Create Named Ranges. Unknown Columns/Rows

Sep 9, 2006

I need to make named ranges from an unknown number of columns(at least 1) each with an unknown number of rows. Each column has the name of the named range as the first row, and then a variable number of rows containing part numbers.

I can do it 1 by 1, but id rather do it in a loop so that blanks dont cause errors. there will be different people using versions of this sheet with different model/part number information What i've tried: Count number of colums with row 1 containing data (11 max, which is more than will ever be used) add into array(I know i dont really need to add into the array, but i might use it later for some other code). The problem i'm having is finding the range of rows that need added to the named dynamic range and adding it.

modelcount = Range("G7") 'G7 (for now) contains =COUNTA(H1,I1,J1,etc)

For i = 1 To modelcount
Redim Preserve Models(0 To i)
Models(i) = Cells(1, i + 7)
Range1 = Cells(2, i + 7).Address(xlA1)
lastRow = Cells(rows.Count, i + 7).End(xlUp).Row
Range2 = Cells(lastRow, i + 7).Address(xlA1)
Reference = Cells(2, i + 7).Address(xlA1)
ThisWorkbook.Names.Add Name:=Models(i), _
RefersTo:="=OFFSET(Reference,0,0,counta(Range1:Range2),1)", Visible:=True
Next i

This gets me the range i need, but doesnt create the named range properly. If i go to insert>names>define, the named ranges are created, but they dont relate to the data in any columns. It shows the variable names rather than the cell range the variable represents.

VBA Macro To Create Multiple Data Validation Lists From Variables & Named Ranges

Nov 10, 2008

I cant seem to find the correct syntax for creating 14 validation lists using array members as the source of the named ranged. The validation lists are stored on a different worksheet, the Named Ranges are created fine, as are the ranges that are having the validation applied. The Syntax I am having a problem with is

Public Sub assignDVList(WSD As Worksheet, sListName As String)
Dim DVListName As String
DVListName = "DV" & sListName
Application.Goto Reference:=sListName
With Selection.Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _
xlBetween, Formula1:="=" & DVListName

It is the Formula1:="=" & DVListName that is creating the headache. The sub is called as the array moves through the columns, using the header row as the Name for the Named Range, and the data Validation worksheet uses the same naming except it has DV in front.

How To Create Dynamic List Within Dynamic Table

Oct 31, 2013

I have a dynamic table which is linked to a couple of charts. The table must remain dynamic.

I needed to add two new columns to the table, "Focus Area" and "Category". I need a drop down list in the "Category" column to be dependent on the item selected from a drop down menu in "Focus Area".

I can get the first row of the dynamic table to do this.... however; subsequent rows all lock the drop down list in the "Category" column to the same choices regardless of what is chosen in the "Focus Area" list.

Is there a way to make dynamic drop downs within a dynamic table?

VLookup For Dynamic Ranges

Oct 28, 2008

I want to create dependent lists using data validation. The lists need to be created from ranges that will be growing as users add more data. I think the best way to create the list is a VLOOKUP. However, I am not sure how to use the VLOOKUP when the range is changing.

I have attached an example. I have a list on sheet "Vlookup" called "FRUIT" with "apple", "orange", "banana". Then to make the depedent lists I have created three other lists called: "APPLE", "ORANGE", "BANANA". I want to pull the COST from sheet "VALUES" into the lists "APPLE", "ORANGE", "BANANA". Users will be adding costs next to the FRUIT they purchase.

Dynamic Ranges For Correlation

Nov 18, 2009

I have a particular issue - i am trying to create a rolling correlation.

lets say you have two variables for 3 different months:

Month1 a x
Month2 b y
Month3 c z

correlation will correlate a-c with t-v

however, come next month - i have to manually drag the ranges for a rolling three month correlation:

Month1 a t
Month2 b u
Month3 c v
Month4 d w

correlation will now correlate b-d with u-w for a the last three months.

I want to automate this as I know what the month is, I can't seem to return the last three months and correlate the data.

I have tried to do this with the database functions, but I think that they break the array relationship of b-d and u-w in the correlation function.

Darn Dynamic Ranges Again

Jan 20, 2007

In the example I have attached, I need 4 named, dynamic ranges to build a chart with:

1) Dates for the chart
always starting from A2 ... to whenever the LAST sum of B, C, D =0
(right now that would be A2:A30)

2) The Amounts
I need the amounts as 3 individual dynamic ranges, with no 0 values
(example - B2:B21, or c10:c14, etc)

3)The date column
same as #2, but just a single cell reference to show as a marker on the chart.
(example e21:e21)

I know someone here will think 'so what's the big deal' and pop it out in 30 seconds.

Defining Dynamic Ranges

Oct 6, 2008

I'm trying to make ranges in a SumProduct formula dynamic, but getting errors #N/A. I think this is because the top two rows are headers, throwing off the range count.

Q. How do I adjust the range definition to compensate., e.g.

Range =Offset(Sheet1!$D$3,0,0,COUNT(Sheet1!$D:$D),1) where column D is numeric, and

Range = Offset(Sheet1!$T$3,0,0,Match("*",Sheet1!$T:$T,-1),1) where column T is text?

I had assumed that the offset value 3 would do this, but I suspect the functions count and match are not doing so.

Charting With Dynamic Ranges

Mar 25, 2014

So I was looking for reassurance or validation more than anything. From what I can tell you can in order to build a chart that is dynamic throughout a range, you use the offset and count or counta function - 1. That part isn't a problem. My question is once you created that for your charts do you just normally plot your chart range or do you have to reference the named range directly into the chart range?
