VBA - Setting Paste Of Series Destination Range Relative To Active Cell
Oct 24, 2013
I'm creating a Macro to paste a series of formulas from a template in hidden rows above to cells further down in the same worksheet. My code works fine if I set an absolute range as the Destination - here's a portion of it:
Sub TimelineRow150()
Dim TimelineMatch As Integer, ProjectPlan As Object
TimelineMatch = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value
If TimelineMatch = 26 Then
Range("E26:AQ28").Select
[Code]....
I'd like to be able to copy and paste this code to run it multiple times in the same worksheet, (the TimelineMatch variable actually has 26 different options). Is there a way to replace the [Range("E150:AQ152").Select] portion of the code with a range that is relative to the Active Cell? (I'd instruct users that cell E be the Active cell before running the Macro, and E to AQ is still the range I need the copied data to appear.) I've tried using ActiveCell.Offset, but I keep getting an error of Method 'Range of Object' _Global' failed.
i am writing a custom copy/paste routine which will paste data from a selection if the cell being pasted to is not locked.
The user will select the text for coping and then launch the routine.
The routine will query for destination cell and then process the paste.
This is my routine so far:
Sub testCopy()
Dim c As Range Dim MyRange As Range Dim Dest As Range
Set MyRange = Selection Set Dest = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Select a cell", _ Title:="Paste Destination", Type:=8)
For Each c In MyRange If Dest.Locked = False Then Dest.Value = c.Value End If 'dest = ? Next c End Sub
What I need to know is how to increment the dest reference so it is in the same 'relative' position from the initial dest that c (from the selection) is in or is there a better way to do this?
I have two workbooks. I am copying cells data from one workbook A to workbook B with macro - pretty easy. Now, after selecting and copying cell data in workbook A and switching to workbook B I want to be able to pause the macro and wait for the user to chose a correct cell where he/she wants to paste the data. After the selection the macro would automatically paste the data in selected cell. Since I am completely newbie any help would be appreciated. Here is the macro I have so far :
Sub CopyVIN() ' ' CopyVIN Macro ' Macro recorded 5/26/2009 by Pacific Coachworks ' Sheets("Sheet1").Select Range("G9:R9").Select Selection.Copy Sheets("For copying VIN").Select Range("A1").Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False Range("A1").Select Application.CutCopyMode = False Selection.Copy Windows("Cami's Production Schedule.xls").Activate ' Here I'd like to have a code for waiting for a user selection and pasting the data automaticlly.
My goal would be to click on a cell within a range of cells (in a column) and have the value copied to a specified destination cell. There would be a few different columns with source cells and two destination cells. Each column would to copy to a specific cell. My ojective is basically to deal with different processing times (days, weeks, months).
Here's a little visual, clicking on C4 for example would copy the value "5" to cell B2. Clicking on D4 would copy "12" to A2.
row/col A B C D E
1 Days Weeks Processing time X (weeks) Processing time Y (in days) Processing time Z (in weeks)
I have got stuck on one piece of my code and having trouble fixing... Overall I am trying to find variable station name in cell L2 of Sheet 2 in Sheet 1 and then select and copy the data from the data in "cell L2 of Sheet 2" to the last entry of that row. I have attached an example test spreadsheet of the data and a macro is within Sheet 1 called test1. Please note that cell L2 in Sheet 2 will always be different station name and the station list in Sheet 1 will change with differing station name.
The code I am using is:

The code that is not working and bringing up an error is:
A line graph is using a data row to plot the line; works fine. The data series ranges have been named for Week1 (H10), Week1_2 (H10:I10), Week1_3 (H10:J10), Week1_4 (H10:K10), Week1_5 (H10:L10), Week1_6 (H10:M10), Week1_7 (H10:N10), ...etc.
This is the data series formula name example to plot the data series from week 1 through week 7; ='Product Plan Q3 Week 7.xlsx'!Q3Wk1_7.
The series name formula Q3Wk1_7 for week 1 through week 7 is =$H$10:$N$10.
When this name is manually entered as a Series Value for the line graph, the graph plots exactly the way it is expected. The same is true if the Series Value is manually modified for some other ranges such as Week 1 through Week 9 (='Product Plan Q3 Week 7.xlsx'!Q3Wk1_9).
My challenge is to enter this Series Value based on the manually entered week number elsewhere; i.e., we're in week 7, the Series Value should be ='Product Plan Q3 Week 7.xlsx'!Q3Wk1_7. I've been trying to use an HLOOKUP table to select the correct Series Value formula based on the week number. The HLOOKUP works fine resulting in selecting the correct formula. I can also Name the range of data I want to graph and copy the name into the Series Value field with successful results. How do I get such a formula or Named range into the Series Value field without type it in? I want to set that Series Value to a range or name without having to select the line to manually enter the value.
I want to prevent other users when pasting data, to overwrite the formatting of the destination cell.
Since, it is a shared file, i don't want to bother the people explaining use paste special.
I want this to happen automatically.
I don't know VB, and I tried copying what I found in the internet for similar codes, and none have worked. I only copied as they said either in Thisworkbook, and this is all I can do.
I need very easily explained if there is something more than just copying the code in VB view.
Is there a way to set the Paste options in Excel to default to "Match Destination Formatting"? Currently the program defaults to "Keep Source Formatting". It would be extremely helpful for the work I am doing to have the default be "Match Destination Formatting" instead. I thought there might be a way to set this under "Tools, Options, Edit," but there is nothing. I am using Excel 2003
I'm working on this Macro process - and I can't figure two things out.
1) How do I get it to past contents in the second blank cell at the bottom of a list in a specific column? IE - data in B1:B17, paste new list in B19. What I'd REALLY like, is for it to paste in B8, but if B8 used, THEN paste to the second to last blank cell in column B. (if thats even possible)
2) I have VB open an excel workbook, grab data, copy and then past into 1) (above), but then close that workbook. However it always asks "do you wish to save?" and "Do you wish to keep data on clipboard" How can I program it to say "no" for both of these windows prompts? Here's an excerpt of my code:
I am writting code that copys a range and then pastes the values back over the same range, which gets rid of the functions in the cells. I am doing this for multiple sheets. When the code pastes the copied selection back over the same range the code is interrupted by a message box that asks me wether I want to replace the contents of the destination cells or not. I do, how do I get my code to answer yes to this message box?
I would like to select a range of cells relative to the current cell and move them to the right two cells. Basically, if I were in cell A1 I want to be able to have a macro select A1 - A8 and move them over by two cells leaving A1 and A2 blank.
I need to change multiple conditional formats which apply to cell ranges 1 row x 17 columns wide. The specific change I am making is able to be acrried out with the code
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With
However, I dont want the user to have to manually select each 17 cell area. I WANT THE USER TO JUST MANUALLY SELECT THE FIRST OF THE 17 CELL AREA. I want to write a macro that will THEN select a row of cells, 17 cells long, from the MANUALLY SELECTED position as at the moment of running the macro. Unfortunately the cells are not always on the same row in each sheet. On one sheet they may be on row 5, on another row 8 and on another, row 15 etc. I was wanting to be able to select a 17 cell range 'relative' to where the cursor is. How do I write the code to select the relative cell range? Is there an answer in an R[1]C[1]:R[1]C[17] sort of code?
I want to have a range of days in a cell, for example in cell A1 will have may 2-may 9. when I use the autofill handle I want A2 cell to read may 10 - may 17 and then if I use it again A3 will read may 18- may 25 and then roll over to the next month . As it stand right now if I put in may 2 - may 9 and use the autofill handle the next cell down will read may 2 - may 10.
I am trying to create an XY scatter plot with multiple series. Normally, one has to manually type in or mouse-drag a range for each x series and y series. Instead I would like to build these two ranges (x and y) with text functions and place them in a cell.
For example:
A1: 'data'!$C$3:$C$10 B1: 'data'!$D$3:$D$10
Then, when I create a chart, instead of mouse-dragging, for the x-series, I'll indicate the range that's specified within Cell A1, and for the y series, that which is in B1. I would then repeat this for each series. The reason I want to do this is because I have dozens of series and dozens of graphs and it is relatively easy to programatically identify the range boundaries, but long and tedious to mouse drag them.
I am trying to do is when a certain criteria is met I want to pull some information from the net using a web query, and then pasting it into a variable location. I have this code -
Sub Check_Matches() Dim XLoop As Integer, XPlay_Row As Integer, Loop_Length As Integer Dim Match_Ref As String, Team_Addr As String, Match_ID As String, Import_Addr As String XLoop = 1 XPlay_Row = 5 Loop_Length = Range("j1").Value + 1 Do While XLoop < Loop_Length Team_Addr = "S" & XPlay_Row 'A variable that stores the reference to the cell containing the team ID.....................
I'm trying to download stock price history inside a loop and move the destination range over one column for each new symbol. I want to keep moving the results from the query over one column each time it loops through....
I'm looking for a piece of code, which would activate a certain Range i.e. the start of which would be in column A and the End in Column G. My problem is that the activated range of cells shuld be exactly in the same row as the currently active cell i.e. active cell B3 -> activated range A3:G3 .
But I cannot get a SUM Formula of this range. If someone could show me the correct syntax to get a sum from a range like this I would be very grateful.
I have a form that loads and depending on the word selected in the drop down the following code loops through cells Q2:AC2 until it finds the word in one of those cells (the word will always be in one of the cells)
Code: For Each c In Range("Q2:AC2").Cells If c = period Then c.Select
[Code]...
The active cell it finds will always change, i know I need something to code the active cell back but I don't know what it should be.
I have this code I wrote (combining variations of existing ones).. but not very well. unfortunately doesn’t seem to work. It copies the information back onto itself
