Is it possible to use the Macro recorder in Excel to store user variables that they put in through a UserForm? So say when a textbox on a userform is changed, it records a macro of what is put into the textbox, which it can then call to retrieve the value.
View 4 Replieshow to store the variables selected in a list box for future use in the macro?
I've got code as follows:
This is in my main module
'These set up the global variables
Public SelectedRegion As Variant 'I've also used string
Public NewTabName As Variant 'I've also used string
'This links the list box to the values in a hidden tab named "Regions" and shows the form
WSForm.RgList.RowSource = "Regions!A1:A10"
WSForm.Show
This is in my coding for the form itself (list box & buttons)
'Code for my "Cancel" button
Private Sub cmdCancel_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub
I am trying to select a range based on two variables which store the column numbers. what I have is:
View 4 Replies View RelatedI hide all Excel standard tabs and thus need a button on custom tab to record a macro. (I did this successfully with custom menu in Excel 2003.) In 2007 ribbon, I've reused the code for a button's OnAction, now going to callback that runs:
Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso ("MacroRecord")
In Excel 2003, the stop button appeared automatically for me. But in Excel 2007, with hiding standard tabs, etc., I see no way to stop recording, other than running my button to return the Developer's tab, where the Record Macro button has changed to Stop Macro.
I'd like to either add a second button to my ribbon to stop recording the macro (but I can't find an idMso to use in a callback) or have my Record button change to Stop button, like Excel does. But I can't come up with correct code.
I used macro recorder, and this code was the result. Is there a way to shorten this code up? The more I use macro recorder, the more I'm beginning to realize that the code generated from macro recorder can be very sloppy.

I used the macro recorder to create a pivot table, but to verfity that it works.
I get a "Add fields method of Pivot Table class failed"..
and this was highlighted:

I've created VBA code in Access 2007 to create a column chart in Excel, and it is working. I need to change the rotation on my category labels to 270 degrees vertical. When I record a macro on the chart in Excel 2007. I only receive the following

I am using office 2011 for MAC, and am trying to create a macro that changes the color of the selected cell(s).
if I start recording the macro
click the fill color button pull down and change the color on the edit section of the ribbon
Stop the macro
No code is recorded as below but the cell did change color to whatever I selected.
Sub Macro13()

' Macro13 Macro

The colorIndex is automatic no matter what color I choose.
When I run the macro there is no change to the selected cell, but the border is destroyed.
In a cell I will be having many strings separated by a ";" for ex
columna A
a; b; c; d ; e
f; g; h; i; j; k
how to store this in a macro?
I have tried to look for this in several websites and have not found the appropiate answers. So i figured one of the Wizards in this board can help me. Right now when I built a macro it has to be dependent to a file. However I like to build a macro button that when I use it, it will actually just work for any given currently open sheet.

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 have recorded a macro that will copy and paste information from text files to two separate sheets in a workbook. Previous versions of this have worked fine but now I have a "subscript out of range problem" for this line: Sheets("Raakadata").Select
I'm doing this project to someone else and the weird thing is I don't see this error in my computer but they have it in theirs. The workbook has been recently renamed to oljy_vedesta.xls but it should be correct in the code. The syntax should be fine as macro recorder has been used but still this error comes up with the another computer (all the required files are there).

My goal is to write an equation that allows me to total all of the numbers in a column until the value = 0.
When I write the following equation using actual cell references, I am able to get the results I am looking for:
=IF(LEFT($E$78,6)=" Expe",SUM($J$78:INDEX($J$78:J1000,MATCH(0,J78:J1000,),0)),0)
When I try to write it in a macro using variables, I get all messed up:
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.Font.Italic = True
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = " Expense"
[Code].....
(Possibly unnecessary information: This is for a budget spreadsheet I am creating. Ideally when I am finished with the macro it will allow me to add a line item under a specific program and update the total amount spent. The budget is broken out by month, rather than program. When a new program begins the amount in column J will always be zero, hence the Sum until 0 is reached.)
Basically, there are 5-6 worksheets and I want this to go into each sheet and update the pivot table by changing the dates to today from pulldown menu in pivot table.
But how do I replace that in below recorded macro?
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"M:xxxxxxxxxDaily TemplateAGT_TM3 evolvement.xlsm" _

Range("AU11").Select
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").PivotFields( _

I'm trying to write a macro concatenate a report but the report outputs data on different rows when ideally I'd like it to all be on one row. The C column will have something in on the top line but blank for the rest until it gets to the next set of data.
Unfortunately it's not always the same amount of lines every time.
I am trying to categorized a dataset by country. The dataset need to be updated everyday and the size of each category is different each time. So I try to define a ranged name using variables.

I would like to use a macro to do the following...after selecting a cell eg C12 the macro would copy its contents and paste them into S12. However I would like it to be able to do this with any row I select and column "S" contains links to another worksheet, for example... C12 contains 123456, S12 contains =654321!C41.
I need the numbers to be the same in both cells. So after the macro has run C12 would still be 123456 and S12 would now be =123456!C41. The numbers in the cells and the rows are variable (columns are always the same, "C" & "S").
In my code I am using several variables to create a concatenated string and this is making my code quite lengthy..Now I have manged to use it in the SELECT CASE but it still remains big..
SO I was thinking if it were possible to break it into smaller parts and create a Sub-Routine which can be called in the Main code in the select case for the specific condition this way I can use it in Multiple places without hassles..
find the code which I need passing the variables..
Code:
Sub Condition_I()
Dimm Search_Value as string
Dim INo As Long
Dim Whole_Text As String
Dim Lookup_No1 As String
Dim Lookup_No2 As String
Dim Condition_I_Text As String
Dim WksI As Worksheet
[code].....
I need to pass the Search_Value from the Main Code and also the whole_text back to the Main Code..
I have a matrix that has variables in the rows and in the columns. Then I have a regular table. For each row in the table, I need to run a macro using the combinations in the matrix. I just don't know how to combine these two to make my macro run appropriately with the right combos for the right amount of time.

I want to run a Shell command to open lots of files.
I can get the basic command working, but I want to open a lot of different files and am seeing if there is a way to save time by having a variable input, rather than having 1000 different shell lines with IF statements.
I need to create a macro, where the contents of a particular cell are dependent upon summing values based on a word desription from another column. For instance, I would like cell E10 to include a numerical value from cell D5, but ONLY if cell C5 is populated with the word "trust" as opposed to "equity". Conversely, I would also have a macro in, say, cell E11 that would do the same for the word "equity" in column C. I would like the macro to hold for the entirety of different words in column C.
