Use VBA To Determine Object Closest To ActiveCell
Jan 2, 2008
I prefer to use the keyboard--rather than the mouse--as much as possible. To avoid having to use the mouse to select objects that I need in an Excel spreadsheet (like textboxes or charts), I'd like to write a macro that selects whatever object is "above" the activecell. This would allow me to select a textbox, for instance, simply by navingating the activecell (not cursor) to just underneath it and then executing the macro (from a hot-key combination, of course).

Does this code copy all cells from the active cell up to the last non-blank cell, or is it up to the first blank cell after the last non-blank cell?

i have 2 columns of data.
Column A is state
Column B is money owed to that state
So lets say
A1 is florida and B1 is 29,000
I am trying for column C to tell me what values (and if possible the cooresponding state) are the 2 closest values above it and the 2 closest values below it in B1:B50. It can appear as a string of text like 27,000 CA 28944 (OR) 31000 (FL) 31200 (GA)

I'm getting the following error:
"Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found"
I wasn't getting that error last night and I'm not sure what I may have done to cause this error.
It seems to be cause by code running on one sheet of my workbook, but I'm not really sure about that. I'm still a bit of a novice at VBA.
I'm using Excel 2002 SP3 and I'm running MS XP Home as my OS.
Do you have any ideas what can cause this error and/or how to trace down the offending objects/code?

Here's the situation:
I want to search through the cells in a column to locate text in one of the cells. If this text is found, I want to make that the ActiveCell and then insert a row underneath it. If this particular text is not found, I want to insert a row and put that text that wasnt found into the first cell in the created row.
I trimmed down my code a lot so I could post it here.
So, in this particular case, once the user selects one of two product lines (named "ADC" and "DAC"), I want to first search for that text and if it is found I want that to be the new activecell and insert a new row.
The main problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to set the "Foundcell" as being the new active cell. My initial activecell is set by locating and selecting the cell containing the text "Product Line".
Here's my

I want to use the following command but with more to it:
X=0
Y=0
Z=10
ActiveCell.Offset(rowOffset:=X, columnOffset:=Y).Activate
I want to use this type of command to highlight an area...not just move rows/columns. I want it to highlight from a point on the sheet marked by X and Y and then down Z rows.
So if I'm in cell A1 and want to highight from A1 down to A10, I'm not sure how to write that part of the code.

I am working on a sub that will populate a cell based on the values of two other cells.
The ws is of variable length, the columns are A through I. I have the logic done, now I need help with the looping. It only loops through the first row. I believe that my problem is something to do with declaring the ActiveCell and looping with that. Also should I use variable names rather than Range(A2) ex. Dim EMUNCD As Variant
EMUNCD = Range("H2").Value
I have the following code so far
Sub MainMgrRpt()
Dim LstRow As Long
LstRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For Row_counter = 2 To LstRow
Dim planCase As String
planCase = Range("F2").Value

Goal is to select range from active cell ( where coursos is ) to the top of that row. For some reason
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = Range("xey1":ActiveCell())
Does not work?

I have put a rectangle shape in a cell in excel. The shape is within the border of a particular cell.
Is there a way to find the reference of the cell on which that particular shape resides.
For example, I have kept a rectangle shape in cell F5. I was looking for a macro which would return the cell reference "F5" in which the shape resides.

I have a spreadsheet that automatically analyzes the last week's worth of data and then displays a table of summary data from that analysis in the range C2:G11. Each row (i.e. 2:11) represents the statistics from one of the 10 regions in the state. I then have a second "details" table which remains blank (it occupies the range C14:G20; one row for each day of the week) until an "x" is typed in Column H in the cell adjacent to a region's summary data above, e.g.
if I want to display detailed data for region 4 for the last week, I would type an "x" in cell H5; formulas in the blank "details" table then lookup information on region 4 from a larger dataset. This system works fine, but is a little clumsy (typing "x"'s and deleting previous "x"'s, etc.).
Here's what I would like:
1): A macro for this sheet that will place an "x" in the ActiveCell (only in the case that the active cell is somewhere in the range H2:H11), will remove that "x" when that cell is no longer active, and will not place more than one "x" at a time-- for instance if more than one cell is accidentally highlighted
2): Also, I would like to be able to paste the values and formatting of the "details" table (C14:G20) to a separate sheet (we'll call it Sheet2) if they're interesting, and I'd like to be able to do this with a command button. The problem is I don't know... 1: how to place a button on the sheet, 2: how to attach code to this button, 3: where to place this code (can it go in the same place as the ActiveCell macro I described earlier?).
Ideally, the code would allow me to paste an arbitrary number of these tables to Sheet2, so the code would need to be able to identify the first blank cell in Column A as the location to paste a new table when the button is clicked.

I've got an application where I switch between workSheets and the mouse stays in the same location. As all of my actions are predicated on mouse right-clicks or double-clicks, the first thing that I have to do as move the mouse back to the active cell. Is there a way to reposition the mouse to the activeCell upon returning to the workSheet?

is it possible to deactivate an activecell?
the following code works well i have a range of cells(e1:o17) i click on one of those cells to enter a score into (a2) the next cell i click enters a score into (b2) ok so far but if i need to enter the same score consecutively as needs to be done from time to time i cant do it because the cell is still active.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Range("d1") = Range("d1") + 1
If Range("D1") = 2 Then Range("a2") = ActiveCell.Value: Range("c2") = 501 - Range("a2")
If Range("D1") = 3 Then Range("a3") = ActiveCell.Value: Range("c3") = Range("c2") - Range("a3")
If Range("D1") = 4 Then Range("a4") = ActiveCell.Value: Range("c4") = Range("c3") - Range("a4")
If Range("D1") = 5 Then Range("a5") = ActiveCell.Value: Range("c5") = Range("c4") - Range("a5")

In Excel VBA, is there any way to use ActiveCell in Median Formula?
E. G. Range("A5").Formula="=Median(ActiveCell.d5). Say ActiveCell already
defined as Range("D2").Select or Activate.
VBA doesn't accept this method. Any other way to use other than R1C1 direct address in the use of Median formula?

I have about 200 command buttons on my spreadsheet. Since there are so many of these, I would like to create a VBA routine to determine the cell name four cells over from the cell each command button sits inside, if possible (each command button is small and sits within its own cell). So the command button in cell F1, will let me pull the data or get the cell name of cell C2.
So I guess I am trying to figure out how to do relative references from a command button. Then this will be put in a public variable and passed to a subroutine which is the same for each command button. Only the data in the cells relative to the command button changes. I thought activecell might be useful for this, but you when press a command button, it doesn't make that cell the active cell.
I just thought there might be a simple solution for this, instead of having each single command button have its own subroutine just so each one can reference cells. All I really need is to run the same subroutine with variables from 200 cells, one at a time.

As usual, I think this might be a really simple one but I can’t seem to find the answer. I want to create a userform that has text at the top (not the title bar) that looks at the value in the ActiveCell.
e.g. "Please enter information for " & ActiveCell
I have tried to place this in a text box and the code for the text box but nothing seems to work I am pretty new to userforms so could well be going about this completely the wrong way.

I need to grab data from one sheet while I'm in a different one - same workbook, however. From the first sheet, the data that I need would be an "activeCell.value" issue. From the other sheet, however, how can I get that cell's data - an "inactiveCell.value" call, in essence? Right now, I'm getting around it by assigning the value to a global variable but that seems wasteful.

I would like to select multiple active cells (in different columns) and have them copied and pasted in another sheet. The current macro I am using seem to work fine, except for the fact that it only selects cell A3 to the end of the list in that active column. I would like it to also select B3 - down, C3 - down, and E3 - down.
I "Bolded" where I think the problem lies.
Sub Sort()
Sheets("Univerity Rankings").Select
Range("a3:z10000").Select

I have a macro that selects various cells whilst it runs - nothing unusual there! What I'd like it to do is return to the activecell immediately prior to running the macro. So if cell 'B34' is active and then the Macro runs it currently returns to cell 'A12' (the last selection in the macro).
I would like it to return to cell, in this instance, 'B34'. The activecell could of course be any reference within the spreadsheet, so whatever is active prior to running macro is returned to when macro is complete.
