VBA Dynamic Range Selection Failure

Aug 3, 2009

I have a log that I use to keep track of my hours where the days hours and charge numbers get summed and moved to a new sheet via a command button. One of the categories is week ending date. I want the week ending date cells to merge if they match and cannot get the range I want to highlight. I can move the data, find and define the first and last cells in the range, but can't get the range.select command to work. I think it is just a syntax error, as I am new to VBA.

I can open a Locals window and watch it assign values to myFirstCell and myLastCell of "$A$36" and "$A$44" respectively, but I get an error on either the set range= or range.select lines.

My code is as follows:

Private Sub Post_Hours_To_Log_Click()
'Posts the day's hours to the hours tracker.

Dim myFirstCell, myLastCell As Variant

Dim myRange As Variant

***Removed N/A code that goes to another sheet and decides which data to copy***
Application.Goto reference:=Worksheets("Hours Log").Range("A2"), _
Scroll:=False

Dynamic Range Selection For Charting

May 7, 2009

I have three rows that each attempt to pull in data from a range on different worksheets. All but one return nothing but "#N/A" values. The one row returns values from the proper range. (User selections determine which row will have data).

Second, I successfully pull data from the row containing actual information into another row, using the following formula: "=OFFSET(E$36,CHOOSE($Y$1,0,1,2),0)" on a cell-to-cell basis. The value in $Y$1 chooses the row to look at, based upon a dropdown selected on another worksheet.

So I now have a row with =OFFSET(E$36,CHOOSE($Y$1,0,1,2),0),=OFFSET(F$36,CHOOSE($Y$1,0,1,2),0),=OFFSET(G$36,CHOOSE($Y$1,0,1,2),0) and so forth. I can find the last value in the row, but I cannot find a way to extract the address from that, and create a table that will use as a series the last 26 values in the row.

For reference, I use "=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,E49:FD49)" to determine the last cell with a value (gleaned from a Dueling Excel Youtube Video, - very helpful!).

I hope the above will be clear enough, but if not, I'll be happy to provide additional information / clarification.

Copy Data From One Sheet To Another With Dynamic Range Selection?

Feb 21, 2011

The CRM application that we use provides output in an excel sheet "Table View 1". I want to be able to copy the data that is dumped to a sheet to another sheet. The requirements:The data output range is different. Sometimes it is 4 rows and sometimes it is 25 rows. I want a mechanism where based on the output, the formula/macro automatically copies the information to the new sheet.The first 2 rows need to be excluded when the copy is being made.

How To Only Allow Multiple Cell Selection If Named As Dynamic Range

May 13, 2014

I have a spreadsheet where I've disallowed selection of multiple cells using the code in the 2nd box below, but is there a way to override this protection to allow selection of a named range? My reason for doing so is to open this workbook as read only from code in another workbook and copy the entire table. My code for doing that works ok (I frequently use it in other workbooks) but, in this case, my need to disallow selection of multiple cells in this particular worksheet is tripping me up.

This is the code I'm using to try and pull the data into another workbook:

Code:

Workbooks.Open Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "RSL-Jobs-Register.xls", ReadOnly:=True
Application.GoTo Reference:="JobsTable"
Selection.Copy

and this is the code I have in RSL-Jobs-Register.xls which is preventing me from selecting the (dynamic) named range called "JobsTable".

Code:

''' I'm thinking I could have something here like (in plain English) "If selected range "JobsTable" Then"
''' (apply the code below) but I'm not sure of the code

If Selection.Cells.Count > 1 Then
MsgBox "Sorry, operations on multiple selections aren't allowed here", vbCritical
ActiveCell.Select
Exit Sub
End If

The formula for the dynamic named range called "JobsTable":

=OFFSET(Jobs!$A$2,1,0,COUNTA(Jobs!$A:$A)-2,11)

Dynamic Row Selection

Feb 4, 2007

Here is my code piece
================

For pCounter = 3 To OutputWorkbook.Worksheets("abc").UsedRange.Rows.Count

If temp = outputWorkbook.Worksheets(Output). Cells(pCounter, 1) Then

rowToColour = pCounter + 1

outputWorkbook.Worksheets(Output).Rows("rowToColour:rowToColour ").Select

With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 3
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
End If

Next pCounter

-----------
Explaination
-----------
-I store some numeric value in "temp" variable in some other part of my program

- Then i need to search the "Output" sheet to find the Cell in which i have the same value stored as the string "temp"

- And once i have found the cell , i need to colour the row beneath that cell with red.

The issue is with selection and colouring of the row after finding the cell. So the question is :

Is this the right way to select the row ? i keep getting errors like 1004 etc.

How To Name A Dynamic Range & Make A Validation List (of 2 Dynamic Ranges)

I have a range which will change in size & in content, & I want this to be a Named Range at whatever size it is.

Reason I want to is because I want to make a Validation List with this dynamic range. I also want a Validation list which lists the content of 2 or more dynamic ranges which may or may not be on the same worksheet - is this possible?

i.e.
First dynamic range: called "Milestones" at A11
Second dynamic range: called "Activities" at A25

Worksheet.Opentext Failure?

Jan 7, 2009

I am struggling with the Worksheet.Opentext code required to open a text file in excel - specifically with the date format.

For example, I have a text file containing Feb08.

When opened manually using space as deliminator it correctly returns 01/02/2008.

However, when I record the same opening action as a macro and then run same macro it returns 08/02/2009, which is incorrect. Try it and see for yourself!

Userform Sub Reference Failure

Jul 16, 2009

I have a program that creates a userform, but it cannot complete the initialization. The initializer calls the sub below, supplying the relevant worksheet, category header, and combobox tag for the form. So far, it will find the header of interest on the worksheet. I want it to load all the cell data in the target header column into the form's combobox. The sub, however, has an issue with the line highlighted in red. I think it has to do with the way the combobox tag is referenced in the line, but I don't know how to fix it.

Sort Failure On First Attempt Only

Feb 23, 2007

My file has 8 sheets with identical linked drop-down boxes at the top. Sheet1 has a graph that needs to be sorted from top to bottom each time a drop-down box from any of the sheets is adjusted. Using tips from this site, my macro moves to Sheet1, sorts, and then returns to whichever sheet I start at.

This works if the first drop-down box I adjust is from Sheet1. If the first drop-down box I adjust is from any other sheet I get "Run-time error '1004': Sort Method of Range Class Failed." Basically I get an error unless I use a Sheet1 drop-down box first. After using a Sheet1 drop-down box, all sheets work without error. How can I fix this error? Below is my macro................

ComboBox Select Failure, And RowSourse

Apr 18, 2009

In applications I make in Excel I often make use of ComboBoxes to select a unique value.

Prior to Excel-2007 this was a complicated and time consuming loop construction that had problems with larger files. So I was happy to find the “Remove Duplicates” function in Excel-2007 and tried to use that.

Process:

- Select column of data. (In my example column F)
- Copy to other sheet (DROP LISTS)
- Apply Remove Duplicates function.
- Sort alphabetically.
- Establish length of list.
- Set that range as Row Source of the ComboBox.

So far so good but there are three problems: ...

Sort Failure In Code: Run-time Error '1004'

May 9, 2008

This piece of code runs perfectly on its own but when called at the end of another code it fails and I haven't a clue why. The reference wsTmp is dim'd globally and defined in the main component where it is simply - worksheets("somename")

Run-time error '1004':

The sort reference is not valid. Make sure that it's within the data you want to sort, and the first Sort By box isn't the same or blank.

Private Sub FinalSort()

wsTmp.Cells.Sort Key1:=Range("D2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=Range("A2") _
, Order2:=xlAscending, Key3:=Range("K2"), Order3:=xlAscending, Header:= _
xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _

Failure Of Automatic Calculation When Worksheet Moved To Another File

Jun 1, 2008

I have workbooks in which summary tables are generated by lookup formulas. Tables are on different sheets but all use the same lookup value by referring to a cell on the 'master' sheet. The lookup value appears in cells on all sheets, by reference to the master sheet (e.g. [formula] = mastersheet!$B$2).

The master sheet contains the main summary table and is copied and detached for distribution, using a macro. For practical reasons, this is done in two stages, first copying the sheet within the workbook (to make minor alterations), then moving it to a new book to save and distribute.

This is where the problem arises. After the sheet has been detached, we find that if we now change the lookup value on the master sheet in the original file, the tables on that sheet will update normally, but the cells on other sheets remain frozen at the previous value and the tables on those sheets do not update.

The only way round the problem is by Shift + Ctrl + Alt + F9. (Maybe I should add that all my workbooks are always set to automatic calculation.)

The macro itself is not the cause of the problem; if we follow the same procedure manually, the result is the same. However, if we move the sheet in one step, eliminating the intermediate copying stage, the problem does not arise. But this is evading the problem, not solving it, and I would be reluctant to have to resort to this.

The original problem remains as stated, viz. failure of automatic calculation.

Dynamic Range For Pivot Table :: Error : Range Is Invalid

I was hoping that then when i go to data > Pivot table and it asks for the range i could put =Data but it tells me that the range is invalid. I have attached a copy at the bottom.

Convert Dynamic Range To Static Named Range

Sep 13, 2007

My searches have not produced anything that I could apply to this situation.

I'm trying to write VBA that would:

1. Search a Workbook for Dynamic Ranges.

2. When a Dynamic Range is found the code would:

A. Determine the current coordinates for the range.
B. Change the "Refers To" value From "=OFFSET...." To "=Worksheet_Name $Column$Row:$Column$Row"

3. Save Changes.

4. Close File.

My apologies but I have very little experience in writing VBA. I understand about variables, arguments, and IF/THEN but just enough to use functions within Excel.
