I have some code, in one part of it I am storing a number (between 1 and 8) as Integer. Is it possible to reference this variable to draw some rectangles on a sheet, sort of
"If MonitorDetail (this is the name of the variable) .value = 2 then
Here I place the code to draw the rectangle on the page. The macro currently stops at Monitordetail with a error telling me its a "Invalid Qualifier".
I have a bit of code that I saved as an add-in. The code does a couple things: (1) Creates a right-click button that on action (2) draws a rectangular auto-shape that is the size of any selected range.
The add-in seems to loaded correctly.
However, when I launch a new excel sheet, my intent was to have the code (the right click option) be available whenever I opened Excel.
Is there another step to accomplish this?
I am researching the possibility of using Excel 2003 WITHOUT a Cad or Drawing package to simulate a drawing. (Consultants inquiries are WELCOME). The idea is to prompt the user (Sales Rep or Customer) for a few key dimensions and then plot out a closed curve based on the coordinantes entered. This shape, which would need to be accurately scaled, would then be sectioned and used as a canvas for dragging and dropping various icons.
Why use Excel instead of CAD?
Other than "everyone" having it, the placement of the "icons" relative to the perimeter of the curve will be used to estimate material costs and generate a quotation like a configurator application.
Key hurdles seem to be the drawing of a curve with cells as pixels and using drag & drop with custom icons - possible as an Add-In?
how to achieve what I'll call "parameter driven" code where the "parameters" are variable names.
For example, in the following code... I'm looking for an answer to the question posed...
Sub Test_Sub()
Dim vX, vY, z
vX = 10
vY = "vX"
For z = 1 To 3
'This next line generates a Run-time error... But...
'=====================================
MsgBox z * vY '
I am opening a workbook using a macro. I need to run a macro in the workbook I am opening when it opens. I have created a variable containing the workbook name but don't know how to use it to run the macro.
Dim WBName
WBName = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Application.Run _
"'DIST_91094_EDTABS_DIABETES CARE_07072006.xls'!aStartProcess"
'DIST_91094_EDTABS_DIABETES CARE_07072006.xls'! needs to be replaced by the name stored in WBName
aStartProcess is the name of the macro in that workbook I want to run.
I have the following code, which executes just fine:
[Code].....
The problem is that I need to run this again in a different column, and the data is held in another sheet that I have given the variable StepTwo to.
I'm not sure of the syntax to do this. Basically - this is what I need the code to do:
[Code] ....
Understandably this is totally incorrect, but it's the best I can do to explain what I'm actually trying to do....
The two parts of SUMIF are both held in a workbook that I've given the variable "StepTwo" to. Both sets of data are also held on Sheet(1) of that workbook.
Is it possible to use a "countif" function as part of a macro?
Here's the situation. In workbook "A", I want to look at a range of cells ("O19:O248") and count the number of times "apple" appears within that range. If "apple" appears 20 times, I would like the variable v_applecount to = 20 so that I can call that variable in workbook "B"
Note, I essentially want to do something like this in the Macro:
v_applecount = CountIf(O19:O248, "Apple")
Can Excel Draw Shapes or Angles based on Data?
I have a radiation Excel file that solves for Radiation intensity using Distance and shielding as reducing factors.
Similar to a circle of light being less intense with distance so is radiation.
I need excel to draw a circle from a point specified based on a value I give.
For example at 1 ft I might have 500 R in 1 hour (life threatening!)
At 16 feet I have about 2 R in 1 hour (not safe for too long)
These circles would be overlayed on an map.
I would like to draw a new circle at various distances, simialar to a bullseye.
I would also like a triangle drawn based on angles and SIN / COS / TAN formulas
Could this be done in VB or preferably without.
I want to put a length in one cell and a width in another. Then have excel draw a square/ rectangle to this size. It could just outline cells, each cell being one inch or any other way.

I am trying to find out if it possible to directly "access" (no play on words here) data stored on MS ACCESS by using Excel's formulas.
I have a set of tables stored on a Microsoft ACCESS 2010 database, and I want to use Excel to analyze that data, using formulas, such as SUMIF.
Is it possible, once I have established an Jet OLEDB connection from Excel to Access, to then directly exploit the data stored on Access without having to copy the data to Excel, and then use it.
I would like Excel to solely act as a tool to analyze, not to store data.
I am trying to write a macro to transfer patient personal data onto a database.
On sheet 1 the user inputs the patient surname, forename, date of birth, date of test and the test results.
On sheet 2 is the database, where patient surname, forename and date of birth is stored in columns A, B and C respectively. The remainder of the columns on each row is available for scoring test results.
What I would like the macro to do is as follows:
•Read the patient surname as input on sheet 1
•Check on sheet 2 if that surname already exists
•If it does, check if the forename and date of birth also match to sheet 1 for that particular entry.
•If a match is found then copy the test results into a column on that particular row. E.g. could be copied into column D.
•If no match is found, then all the data is entered as a new row on the database (I’ve written the code for this bit but thought I should add it in for clarity)
This will then allow all test results for a particular patient to be read off the same row in the database.
I have made a Rota of sorts using Excel 2013 Desktop Edition for my charities volunteers (and stored it as a shared file via office 365 server that they can download and edit) and this rota is populated by our volunteers manually. Each day our controller needs to check the file to see who is on duty at that time.
How the Rota is populated.(the bit i managed to do myself)
The volunteer (Person A in this example) would open the excel file and go to the month they wish to choose a shift for (ref worksheet: FEB in this example). They would then pick a shift that suits them and click on the cell (ref: F32) that shows a vehicle available, then from the drop down list they select their name and then save and close the sheet.
Rather than our volunteer controller going through the sheet for the current month (ref worksheet: Sheets JAN to DEC) I would like them to use the first sheet in the workbook (ref worksheet: DC Info Page) to get an instant view of which volunteer is currently on shift.
My current problem
I don’t know how to make the excel file do the following
Search sheets JAN to DEC (ref cells: C4:I58 on each sheet) inclusive for the cell that contains today's (current actual) dateCopy the 8 (eight) cells below the cell that contains today's datePaste the copied cells in to the relative cells (ref: C8 to C15) in sheet one (ref worksheet: DC Info page)
I would also like this to be done automatically so the controller does not have to click on anything after they open the file. But if it needs a button to process the request, one could be added to the worksheet (ref: DC Info Page)
I was using SUMIFS on a large amount of data, but wasn't getting back the exact sum that I needed.
It turns out that I had cells with values similar to the following
Code:
000123
0123
Basically, text fields with the same numerical values, except for the number of leading zeros. Due to the nature of the table, the number of leading zeros is important.When I did SUMIFS, it counted the sum of the two values together. For example with the following:
Item
Batch
Qty
ABC
123
1
It appears that even if a numeric value is stored as text, SUMIFS treats it like a number.
I have 2 different sets of data: temperature data recorded at meteo-stations defined by latitude / longitude, and major world cities also defined by latitude / longitude.
After the user chooses the station's coordinates, temperature data is pulled out from the first data set; this works! However, I would like to be able to provide information about the closest city to the chosen meteo-station from the second data set.
File attached with sample data sets.
How to turn off or default the warning box message ...
"Data on the Clipboard is not the same size and shape as the selected area. Do you want to paste the data anyway"
I hate having to click yes on this every time I paste something. I do it hundreds of times a day.
My tables is centered and merged because my external date changes sizes each time I paste to the table.
I have looked all over to try and find an "OFF" warning/message button for this. I just want to know how to turn it off or default it to never pop up again!
On the attached spreadsheet there is two irregular shapes. "Area1" & "Area2". I need to be able to determine which area the "ball" shape is located in. If the ball is in Area1 then "Multiply 8" gets the ball and "Multiply 9" moves to the blue cell "AH39". If the ball is in "AreaB" Multiply 9 gets the ball and "Multiply 8" runs to cell "S37"
I should be able to do the moving of the shapes using all the samples, its determining which area the ball is in is the problem.
In the real spreadsheet i will probably have around 10 different Areas.

I was looking for some code to randomly generate a number for a prize draw I am doing. I found a great piece on this site, which I have slightly changed to give me what I have below.
It works great except for one thing I cannot work out, I have the code below working on cell "C1", I would like it to work in cell "C5", but I can't seem to work this out.
Sub SlotsNum()
Dim w As Long, x As String, y As Long
Randomize
x = Format(Int((Range("B2") - Range("B1") + 1) * Rnd + Range("B1")), "0000")
For y = 1 To 1
For w = 1 To 250
Range("C" & y) = Int(8000 * Rnd)
Next w
Range("C" & y) = CInt(Mid(x, y, 4))
Next y
End Sub
Also, whilst here. i will have one other problem, with it being a prize draw I do not want to draw the same number twice. At the moment I have a small macro that copies the winning name that appears on the main screen (via a vlookup) onto a winners spreadsheet. I am thinking of then creating another macro that replaces the winning name on the master list with an "Already Won" entry, so we can just select again.

I have a 5-column listbox in a userform. I do not know how to make the column borders visible. If somebody can tell me, that would be great.
If not, then the next alternative would be to manually draw a line. I tried to so one, by creating a Label with a width of 1, and backcolor ot black. This works but not in front of a list box. For some reasons it cannot be brought to front/forward (order) of a listbox, I already right-clicked several times and sent tthe order to front.
Is it possible to bring it in front of a listbox?
I have attached a very simple example of what I am trying to achieve.So we have 2 sheets. a sheet called data and a sheet called results.
the data sheet, includes ID's of employees and what they are measured on - Hours and Accounts Finished.For example, worker 123 put in 100 hours from the 200 expected and finished 100 accounts from the 200 expected. The main sheet called Results looks up in a list every ID and displays in a table the compensation the worker got. Each time you select from the drop list a different ID number it shows the result and the amount of money they got.
I want to be able to draw every worker and display the compensation they got('Results', H11) in the Pay amount column('Data',H3:H11).
Since I did not know how to do this I used the record macro cheating option.
