Track Progress Via Adding Length To Line Shape
Feb 23, 2008I am currently working on an excel file in which we track progress through the use of an autoshape line. Everytime the progress needs to be changed the line must manually be resized. I am using buttons with macros and trying to add a certain length to the line. So far I have been using the following
Sub line()
ActiveSheet.Shapes("AutoShape 80").Select
Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementLeft 28.5
End Sub
This code resizes the line by adding a percentage of the line length to the line. I want to be able to add the same length everytime.

Adding From Specific Named Cells
Jan 21, 2009I have 2 columns named "ASC" and "AE" which have total calculations of stores inventory data. To the right of the "ASC" and "AE" columns are store columns with (C1="store#"), (C2="state"), (C3="name"), and (C4:C14="inventory count") totals.
If at anytime a stores "name"="AE", I want the "inventory count" for that store to calculate within the the "AE" column.
Anytime a stores "name"="anything except AE", I want the "inventory count" for that store to calculate within the the "ASC" column.

Adding A New Item To A Named Range Option
Jan 4, 2009I have a named range on a hidden sheet which populates data validation lists on 'sheet 1, cells b5-b55. My question is this...Is it possible to, upon entering a new item in b5 (for example), to have that item automatically added to the named range? (preferably through a button on a pop up form that opens w/ the question 'would you like to add to the list?, similar to an access form)...I've seen one example in the past which I found with a link from this site, but couldn't make it work. If the answer to my question is yes, could you also suggest a location of an example if you know of one?

Excel 2003 :: VBA - Adding Named Template Worksheets Based On Single Cell Value
Apr 24, 2012I'm trying to make a macro in Excel 2003 to create x amount of named worksheets that are a copy of a different worksheet.
1. I have a main worksheet that will have a number manually entered into a cell (lets say A1);
2. I have a 'template' worksheet;
3. I'll assign the macro to a button on the main worksheet
If I enter '10' into cell A1 of the main worksheet, I'd like to click the button and have Excel create 10 copies of the template worksheet. These new worksheets should all share the same name with a number after them (ex: banana 1, banana 2..... banana 10).

Copy / Replace Pivot Into Sheet Without Adding Number Of Sheet
Jul 6, 2012In a sheet (4) I have a pivot refreshed by a VBA macro code. Since I have defined a Chart on this pivot, I need to copy this pivot in a new sheet to avoid to reduce rows using a filter of the Chart. I copy this pivot using this VBA code
Sheet4.Select
Sheet4.Copy After:=Sheet2
I have e new sheet with a number Sheet(n) not equal to maximum sheet number +1
For a new run of the VBA macro I need to delete this sheet
Sheets(n).Select where (n) is not = maximum sheet number +1
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete
Then I need to avoid the message box where I need to confirm to delete the sheet because the sheet is not empty.
Is there a solution to copy a pivot in a new sheet replacing the previous pivot and vithout changing the number of the sheet?
Locate A Shape Within A Shape
Jan 24, 2014On 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.

Using Named Range On Different Sheet?
Nov 17, 2013I am trying to use a named range on a different sheet in the same workbook to which the named range is on.
I have a named range on sheet2 called "Letters" and comprises of cells D20-D25 .
I am trying to call this range on Sheet1 at A1-A6 , so in A1 to A6 I simply have "=Letters" (No quote marks) , but I simply get "#VALUE!" (No Quote Marks), If I then extend the selected cell down to A25 the "Letters" will appear in A20-A25
whereas if I put the same "=Letters" in Sheet1 cell A20-A25 I will get the correct named range.
How can I get the range to show in Sheet 1 Cell A1-A6.
I want to reproduce a named range at a different location on a different sheet in the same workbook.

Sheets.Add().Name = strName
If Sheets(strName) Is Nothing Then Goto NonValidName
Else

However once the code has run it then deletes the content of A1, is there a way to stop it doing this as I would like the name left there.
Using Sheet Names As A Named Range
Feb 6, 2009I have a namd sheet for everyday of the year in a workbook, so jan1 jan2 jan3 etc. I have a stats page which brings together certain pertinent data from those pages, so a formula on the stats page might look like this =sum('jan1'!$m$25:$m$900). What I would like to do is to name each day - jan1 jan2 etc as a named range perhaps date1 date2 etc so that the above formula would then look like =sum(date1!$m$25:$m$900).

VBA - Referring To Named Range On Different Sheet?

Delete Sheet Named In Cell
Aug 26, 2008I need a button to delete a sheet and the sheet to be deleted needs to come from a cell. For example: Active sheet is sheet 1. User selects the name "sheet 5" within cell B10 via data validation from cells E1:E9. Then the user clicks the button and that sheet is deleted. The data validation is a list of every sheet name except sheet 1. If possible, there is a sheet labeled "0" and I cant have that sheet deleted or it will screw up all my formulas if that's too difficult I can work with the data validation to keep a zero from showing up.

Named Constant To Return Sheet Name
Aug 23, 2007Most of the methods used for returning the sheet name are quite cumbersome. "=MID(CELL("filename",A1), FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,256)" takes up a lot of space in a larger formula.
Is it possible, please, to create a Name which returns the sheet name? For example I could write "=ThisSheet" and it would return the name of the sheet.
Of course I could resort to a UDF, but I wondered if it could be done directly in Excel.
When I try to insert the formula "=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,256)" into a Name, Excel helpfully converts A1 to "'Sheet1'!A1". So "=ThisSheet" in Sheet2 returns "Sheet1".
If I make the sheet name part of the Name, as in "'Sheet1'!ThisSheet, it works OK, but has to be added for each new sheet (though it works if an old sheet is copied).
Simple Copy Of Named Range To Another Sheet?
Feb 11, 2013I have a named range on one sheet, and I want to show this as a reference on other sheets. I thought this would be simple, but maybe it's just not the way named ranges are used.
Attached is a sample spreadsheet. First tab shows the table defined; in practice it would be much larger. Second tab shows how I want it to appear. I see that I can do this by copying each cell reference. But what would be nice is to simply say "Put the named range block of cells right here."

Named Range That Refers To Active Sheet
Jun 15, 2007is there a way to have the same named range cover a range of cells regardless of which sheet you are on? They seem to want to default to the page you are on. I want to make some VBA subroutines that will go over each sheet, and perform the same functions on each sheet. All sheets have the same format, but different data. I guess worst case scenario I can just break down and use multiple workbooks, but this seems a little less desirable. Should I be dividing this into seperate posts?

View 3 Replies View RelatedGo To Sheet Named As Text In Button Caption
Jun 3, 2008There is a 'Home' page with a button for each employee - clicking the button takes the user to the appropriate employee's timesheet
There is also an 'Add New Employee' button on the home page which brings up a form and allows a new employee to be added.
Each employee has only 1 worksheet (Which is created based on a blank template page)
When the 'Add New Employee' button is clicked a form pops up which ask for name, D.O.B etc. The user fills out the form and clicks ok. The template sheet is then copied, renamed to the employees name, and all relevent fields are added to the template sheet (based on the users input). A button is also generated on the home page with the employees name as a caption and when it is clicked it goes to employees timesheet.
I have almost got this working.
The only problem is this only works once, So For Example say i Add 'John' then i add 'Mary' on the home page i now have 2 buttons with 'John' and 'Mary' on them. The problem is as soon as a second employee is added (Mary), the first employees button(John) is linked to the second employee's Sheet rather than its own(Mary). and after the spreadsheet is closed the buttons dont work at all.
The link below has the spreadsheet i have made so far, you can test it out if my description doesnt make sense or you can see the code behind the 'add new employee' form:
