Using Data From DDE Link In A Macro

Nov 4, 2008

I wonder if it is possible to bring data from DDE-links to variables in a macro without first bringing it to cells in Excel. The reason why I want to do this is because I only need the data when the macro is run (that is when a certain button is pushed). It would be a waste of system resources to continously link the data to cells in Excel. I asked the same question a few days ago at another forum but didn't get any reply.

Macro To Link Horizontal To Vertical Data In Separate Sheet

Dec 3, 2013

I need to create a Macro that will link Horizontal data to vertical data in a separate sheet. Here's the Example:

I have data in a forecast spreadsheet that is horizontal, So, J2:U2 (12 columns for 12 months). This row of data needs to be linked in a single column of data on a separate sheet called "Price_Quantity". So I need C3:C14 (in price_quantity sheet) to be linked to the data in J2:U2 (in forecast sheet). Then C15:C26 needs to be linked to J3:U3, so on and so forth. 12 rows linking to 12 columns. All the way until C4959:C4970 is linked to J415:U415.

Macro Create A Hyper Link Once Data Is Entered Into Specific Cell

Aug 17, 2009

Is it possible to have a macro create a hyper link once data is entered into specific cell, i have a multi sheet work book used as a stock card system.

Each stock item has its own worksheet and the product code is entered in to cell E3
(which in turn has a macro in it to change the sheet name to match the product code).

the macro also inserts a row of info into row 5 of another sheet used as a summary sheet ( CONTROL.SHEET or SHEET 4) using copy and paste link.

i need a macro to generate a hyperlink in cell D4 of the control sheet between the row info and the matching product code sheet ( the product code is displayed in cell E4 of the control sheet.

I only input one item at a time and then manually cut and insert the row info into the stock list on control sheet. so every time i input a new item, the row info is always in row 5 of the control sheet.

Create Macro For DDE Link

Apr 5, 2006

I am using an excel add-in to create a DDE link between a market data provider and my spreadsheet. ( Add-in is called SigTools.xla )

DDE link works fine and target cells are updated dynamically as market data changes so my excel sheet values are changing constantly.

The formula =WinRos|LAST!GOOG will update target cell with most recent market prtice for Google.

Since this formula is not an excel formula I can't reference excel cells with formula - ie =WinRos|LAST!Indirect&A3 or anything like this won't work.

I thought a Macro might work to simulate "typing in correct formula" and I created following Macro which I thought would work but unfortunately it does not.

Sub Macro2()
'
Dim strSymb As String
strSymb = Cells(4, 1).Value
Application.Goto Reference:="TargetCell"
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=WinRos|LAST! & strSymb & "
End Sub

The idea was that Macro would behave just as if I typed in =WinRos|LAST! & strSymb & and substituted the symbol name contained in Cells(4, 1) - whatever that happenned to be.

Seems reasonable but I get an error "Application-defined or object-defined error"

Alternatively I could re-type the formula each time but it would be much better to somehow reference a specific symbol in a particular cell via functioning Macro.

Can I Link 3 Buttons To 1 Macro

May 11, 2007

Is it possible to link 3 buttons to one macro.

What I'm trying to do is have 3 buttons:

Load Button:
-Which makes a copy of the current sheet, renames it, and freezes its values

Print Button:
prints all the sheets

Clear button:
deletes all of the named sheets

I'm sure this can be done with an if then else statement, but I'm just not sure how to set it up to capture input.

Link Tab Name To A Cell Without Using A Macro

Aug 17, 2009

Is there a way of embedding a formula in a worksheet so that the tab name of each worksheet is linked to a value in a cell on that sheet? (I don't want to run a macro)
In other words if the cell name is changed, the page name changes automatically.

Macro To Link Information Between Two Worksheets?

Jul 11, 2012

I need to link information between two sheets.

In Sheet2 I have a list of products with their description in adjacent columns such as prices and other information. Sheet1 is a MasterSheet of some of the products listed in Sheet2. So I would like to write a macro that links the information of the product from Sheet2 to Sheet1 if I type the products name in Sheet1 (MasterSheet). The list of products (Sheet2) is updated in a regular basis, so by linking the info I would just need to update Sheet2 and Sheet1 would update as well.

Link By Formula Two Cells Within Macro

Jan 9, 2008

I have one list in one sheet that is source for the userform and combobox used on another sheet. With userform I make a choice and data is entered in one cell.
But is it possible to compare the choice that I make in combobox with the list on the first sheet and then make a simple link between these two cells, so that cell in the second sheet is always showing what is in the cell on the first sheet.
Reason for this is that items on the list on the first sheet sometimes change and I need to update the second sheet automatically.

Private Sub cmdOK_Click()

With Sheets("Presentation").Range("V18:V32")
Set c = . Find(cbochange.Value, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = c.Address
Do
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Formula = firstAddress
Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> firstAddress
End If
End With
Unload Me
End Sub

Formula That Uses Link In A Cell To Create Offset Link

Jun 28, 2013

I have two worksheets, one with detail monthly information and one with YTD information. So let's say the three numbers I want to capture in the YTD sheet are in columns B, G and I on the monthly sheet. January's data might be in B5, G5 and I5. February's data is in B12, G12 and I12 and so on.

On the YTD sheet in cell C2 I link to Monthly!B5 and in C3 I link to Monthly!B12 so cells C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet show the monthly totals from column B on the detail sheet. On the YTD sheet, cells C20 to C31 show the monthly totals from column G on the monthly sheet, so cells G5, G12, etc. And finally, cells C40 to C51 on the YTD sheet show monthly totals form column I on the monthly sheet.

In the past I've always created all these links manually. After creating the links in C2 to C13 on the YTD sheet, is there a way to use a formula in C21 that uses the link in C2 to create a link for G5?

Macro To Link Check Boxes To Cells

Feb 8, 2008

I have a spreadsheet setup which includes a number of checkboxes set up using the forms toolbar.

I would like to link each of these checkboxes (in sheet1) to a cell reference in sheet2. I'm trying to write a macro that will do this for me to save me right clicking, choosing format control etc for each checkbox.

I found the code on this page: http://www.mrexcel.com/archive2/51300/59643.htm
which appears to be similar to what I am trying to achieve. In this case it creates the checkboxes in cells B3:B20 and links them to C3:C20.

I have already created all the checkboxes, and wish to use a macro to link them (for example) to C3:C20 in sheet2.

Link Variables & Sheets In Macro To A Userform

Jul 24, 2007

I have a sheet with 3 macros. It consists of two macros to produce results, and the third to bridge the two together where is all starts. I have built a userform in the sheet and am trying to get the variables in both sheets, to be user changeable and selectable via the userform.

In the attached data, the userform allows for the selection of two sheets, A and B. The user would select in A the sheet with data which is equivalent to Oval_An and in B the sheet with the data equivalent to Oval_DMA. The first macro, Find_75 runs, followed by the second macro, kTest, all working to produce results when hitting the Subtract button on the form. The Find_75 tolerance are also defined via the useform box, as well as kTest's compare tolerance.

Link Data From Multiple Data Sheets

Sep 4, 2009

I am trying to link data from multiple sheets in a file into one sheet. This is the following I want to achieve.

1) I want to pull data from the tab - Tab 1 (in the attached sheet) from column F only if the column E cell has 3, into the "Plan" Sheet in cell D5. I want all the 3's information from Tab 1 (F12, F14, F16 and F17) to be in the same cell D5 with alt+Enter spacing. The trick is these cells may not be always 3 they can be either 1,2,3. So the function needs to go through the entire range E10:E69 to find where there are 3 in the E column and then return the corresponding data from the F column to the "Plan" sheet in Tab 1.

The cells in the working workbook are listed vertically, while the cells in the summary workbook are listed horizontally.

ie. link G8-G18 in working to B3-K3 in summary

Link Cells To Chosen Workbook Macro Code

May 19, 2008

I am trying to write a code in VBA to collect data from several weekly workbooks, and list them up in a monthly workbook.

These weekly workbooks change names depending on the week, for example, we have:

Report week 1.xls
Report week 2.xls
Report week 3.xls
Report week 4.xls

Each report has the same layout, so the data I want will be in the same cells. However, as the report names change as the weeks in the year go on, I can't write the code for weeks 1-4 as they will not work with week 5 onwards!

I have found out how to chose a file of my choice using:


Sub GetImportFileName()
Dim FInfo As String
Dim FilterIndex As Integer
Dim Title As String
Dim FileName As Variant

' Set up list of file filters
FInfo = "All Files (*.*),*.*"

' Display *.* by default
FilterIndex = 5 ......................

Link Data With A Loop?

Jun 10, 2014

I have a workbook with two sheets. One contains raw data without any formatting. I'm trying to link the cells in "Raw Data" sheet to my "Clean Data" sheet.

The data are financial results by divisions and each division by year. So my goal is to do a loop 'Do until or 'Do while by the years to separate the divisions. My years go from 2008 to 2013 repeating itself for each divisions. Doing that way, when I add a year in my "Raw Data" sheet and re-run my code it will add the 2014 financial results to the "Clean Data" sheet.

Copy And Link Data From One Worksheet To Another

Aug 14, 2013

This is what I have now. YTD_annual_interest earned_3.xlsm

When you click the "update Workbook" button, it creates new tabs using the names in Column A5 through A29. If you look at the tabs named John Jones and Phil Williams, you see what I want to happen once the tabs are named. If you look at Mary Smythe, and the rest of the sheets, this is what actually happens.

My question is two fold.

1. Can the sane button be used to grab and copy the data in the corresponding rows as the named tabs? If no, how can that be done?

2. I want to populate the new sheets with the data as in the John Jones, and Phil Williams sheets automatically.

Paste Link Data From CSV File

Feb 22, 2013

I have a "cost.csv" file that contains the cost of the toys. The cost is show in $ with two decimal places i.e. $0.75

I created a new MS Excel 2010 workbook file named as "customers.xlsx" that has four columns i.e. Item, Cost, Order, [Total Amount] columns. I used the paste link command and the Cost column data is linked with the cost column in "cost.csv" file.

When I write order quantity in the order column and then try to use the following expression in [Total Amount] column i.e. "Cost * Order" then I received error due to following reason i.e. "Cost is a text value and Order is a numeric value and excel is unable to evaluate the expression." I have done it by first remove the $ sign from cost using RIGHT and LEN FUNCTIONS.

Now I want to change the format of "Cost" column i.e. I want to show the cost in Euro but not in $. Here I am stuck as I am trying to change the format of the Cost linked cell but unable to change it either I applied the new format, the text remains shown $0.75?

Is this the problem as data is coming from .csv file? If it is then how I can accomplish the task?
