How can one change the cell values of a worksheet by creating a setup page in another worksheet. Example: the worksheet value is =average(E7, F7, G7, AQ7)*0.6 -- which this formula makes 60% of the average. On the setup page or worksheet I want o change value of *0.6 to say *0.5 for all the cell that has this value. In other words form the setup all the values will change on the related worksheet from the setup page.
View 5 RepliesThe first goes through a directory and opens all the files.. after it opens a given file it goes off into a sub-routine to process the data in that file.
I am trying to create a counter in the first sub-routine and then pass that value into the second sub-routine to tell it to put the values out on the next row down.. so the first time through it puts the values out on row 1, next time it puts them out on row 2, etc.
If I want to set a global variable when I open my workbook which will be used in code on the individual spreadsheets, how would I do this? I want to set the time the workbook is opened to a variable (constant) and then compare that time to current time on each calculation in the worksheets.
I'm using Excel 2000.
I would like have a input box in which a user enter a number and then I would like to be able to use that number in other worksheets within the same workbook. How do I declare the variable for use with other sheets. I know I would first use
Dim intRows As Interger
But now how do I make it global.
explain the difference between declaring a variable as global or as public. Aren't they both available to the entire project including forms?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a smattering of experience within various programming languages, but am still coming to terms with the basics of VBA. I am trying to declare a global variable, assign it a value, then use that global variable. Within 'ThisWorkbook' I have the following...
Public myText As String
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
myText = "Hi There"
End Sub
...and in the Microsoft Worksheet Object Sheet1 (Sheet1) I have...
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
MsgBox myText
End Sub
Now, my understanding of this code is that upon opening the workbook, myText variable will be declared, and then assigned the value "Hi There". Then, once I have clicked anywhere on Sheet1, a message box will appear stating "Hi There". Problem is, the message box is blank. This is all fine, except I want the message box to state "Hi There". What am I doing wrong? Is the variable declared (publically) correctly? Am I assigning the public variable the value correctly?
Am I referencing the public variable correctly in the Worksheet_SelectionChange procedure correctly?
I maked a userform who use global parameters (to let the user decide where write things) and later i need to use this parameter in a module (who is the main program). I try to resolve this problem put this global parameters like global parameters in the module and later in the both sides (in the module and in the useform), but it can't work. How i can resolve that?, i.e., How i can use a global parameter in a userform and the same global parameter in the modulo with the same data?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am working on a workbook which uses a large number of variables. I am trying to keep them as "local" as possible to keep it simple. Some of my variables are local to the subs they're used in. Some are global as they're used by subs in several sheets. A third type of variable is used by several subs all belonging to the same sheet. Is there a way of declaring them so they're known by all subs in that sheet, but not by every sub in the workbook?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a UserForm that runs when my excel project starts that prompts the user for two pieces of data: a username and a password (these are not for logging into the file itself, I need to use them to call web queries later). I want the UserForm to store both of these data in global variables, so that macros that are run in the future can refer to them and read their values. Unfortunately, I am very new to VBA and I cannot figure out what code I need and where exactly I need to put it. Here is my current code, where "authentication" is the name of the UserForm object, and the textboxes I use for entry are named "user" and "pass": In "This Workbook"

I need to declare a global variable in Application level not Module level.
I have declare a variable in Module1 and then Module2 with same name then complile it and get success. That means there has two variable with same name in different Module.

To avoid manually updating a formula 100+ times, I am looking for a way to update cells in a column with reoccuring formulas with references to other cells that vary respectively from cell to cell. Meanwhile, there are other cells without formulas that this will not apply to in the same column. I am trying to avoid macros if possible, unless it can be easily understood/modified by someone who knows next to nothing about macros or VBA. My initial thought was to use the find/replace feature, but I don't know of any way to do this so the reference will update respectively for each cell (ie A9 then A10 etc.) in both the find and the replace fields.
ie
Find: A9="Text1"
Replace: OR(A9="Text1",A9="Text2")
Where the row number updates respectively.
Simplified example:
Existing:
=IF(A9="Text1","1","2")
[misc. blank or non-blank cell]
=IF(A10="Text1","1","2")

how to build and execute formulas and functions. My love for messing with excel started with an interest in personal financial management utilizing amoritzation tables, budget planning, paychecks, tax bases, etc., My wife sees it as strange but I love messing around with the Excel formulas. For now it's all self taught but, as stated, that will be changing.
So far, I haven't been able to find how to execute the following scenario.
For brief background, I'm attempting to identify the results of various outcomes of an individual currency trade by changing the investment size given the results of the last "x" amount of trades. Put another way, I'm running data sets on Forextester wherein I trade a historical period of time on a specific set of currencies, i.e. "Pound/Dollar." I'm wanting to know what the resulting balances would be, or would have been, if I implemented a money management strategy that increased my investment on consecutive trades when there was an "x" number of consecutive "wins" (ending account balance more than beginning) on the previous "x" number of trades. and decreased my investment when there was an "x" number of consecutive losses (ending account balance less than beginning account balance) on "x" number of trades...
So far, I've built the formula so that if I input the beginning and ending balance of a specific trade and Excel populates a "W" or "L" (Win or Loss) in the "Results:" Cell which was pretty simple. The following is one of three scenarios.
Strategy
Conservative:
Start with risk 1% of Account balance (which is $10,000 for example)
The Rule: With each open trade reduce the account balance used by the amount risked on opened trade
(For consecutive trades, assume current trade results in a total loss of investment. Thus, $100.00 of the $10,000 accounts means you're working with $9,900 on next trade)
The Rule: After 3 consecutive winners that make (1.8 * Risk percent used by the trade * account balance used by the trade) or greater in profit, increase risk to 1.5%
First trade Investment: $100.00 plus minimum of 80% gain. Second Trade Investment: $99.00 plus minimum of
80% gain. Third Trade Investment: $98.00 plus minimum of 80% gain. For trade number four, the investment amount would now be 1.5% of the total account balance.
After 1 loss reduce risk to 1%
First Trade Investment $100.00 and you lose - size of loss doesn't matter. Next trade opens with investment of 1%.
After 2 consecutive losses reduce risk to 0.5%
First trade Investment $100.00 and you lose - size of loss doesn't matter. Next trade opens with investment of 1%. Second trade is also a loss. Thus, third trade invests 0.5% of total account balance.
After 4 consecutive losses reduce risk to 0.33%
After 2 consecutive wins that make (1.8 * 0.33%* account balance used by the trade) in profit, reset risk to 1%
(Two wins = 1% investment, regardless of number of previous losses
There are two additional scenarios but they all follow the same pattern. The differences are only in the actual risk percentage. I can modify the formula as needed.
I am currently having trouble with what I thought was a simple IF statement. As you will see from the formula I want to complete a statement for every month of the year but Excel will not let me go past July. Is there a limit to the number of arguments in an IF statement and how do I overcome this? =IF($A$3="Jan'08", SUM(C7),IF($A$3="Feb'08",SUM(C7:D7),IF($A$3="Mar'08",SUM(C7:E7),IF($A$3="Apr'08",SUM(C7:F7),IF($A$3="May'08",SUM(C7:G7),IF($A$3="Jun'08",SUM(C7:H7),IF($A$3="Jul'08",SUM(C7:I7),"n/a")))))))

I'm trying to enter the summation formula into three columns that vary in placement based on the value of num_objs. Basically, the number of grey columns in each of the three sets will equal num_objs. I want the user to be able to enter values into the grey columns in the middle section and the values of the two rightmost white columns (with '0's in them currently) will change accordingly.
My current code is below. However, I keep getting a compile error saying "Expected: end of statement". I've been searching for a solution online for a couple days now, and I don't see how my code is different than what I've been seeing of other people using variables in their formulas.
I have a list with a variety of numbers:
a) some with large units (never more than 10 units long) and possibly also decimals,
b) others with minimal units but long decimal characters,
c) and others containing both.
I need a formula that can be applied to each individual number, that removes a variable amount of decimal places, resulting in a maximum character length of 14 (i.e. sometimes removing a few decimal places, other times removing a substantial amount of decimal places). Removed decimals are displayed in red in the following example
a) 1234567890.123456789
b) 1.2345678901234567
c) 123456.789012345678901234567890
In many cells, a dollar amount (variable lengths) was pulled into the cell. I am trying to use the RIGHT function to remove it but my formula isn't working. A cell example and formula example are below.
P31 = "$693.00 Research and analyze case law regarding Motion in limine reply"
=RIGHT(P31,LEN(P31)-LEFT(P31,FIND(" ",P31)))
This returns an error, no matter how much I think (wish) it should do what I would like it to.
I'm trying to get the syntax correct, and not getting it right.
I need to calculate the Standard Deviation of values, but calc it based on more than one dummy variable.
EG: I need to Standard Deviation using data in column A, if the value in Column B (same row) is 1, and the value in Column C (again, same row) is 0. Right now, I have to reorder the data and calc it, then copy n paste values. I'd MUCH rather have a longer function so I don't have to reorder the data over and over again, and add and delete rows, etc.
I know it's a nested IF AND function, or I think it is, I just can't seem to get the syntax correct.
Assume I have a sheet consisting of 50 rows with 3 columns of figures. A fourth column contains a formula to calculate values, eg A1+B1+C1, on each line/row. I could enter A1+B1+C1 in the first cell and Copy, Paste to the other 49 cells. Alternatively, I replace A1+B1+C1 with a UDF.
Is there any difference in performance with using a UDF compared to using the long-hand/standard approach, or is it just a question of convenience? After all, both are doing the same operation with the same calculation.
All I am doing is counting text values in a table.
The table has 3 main columns(which are relevant to this thread anyway).
Shift - Area - Status
The example I have attached shows examples of DCOUNTA, SUMPRODUCT and a Pivot Table.
I have read many threads stating that the best one to use is Pivot Table followed by DCOUNTA followed by SUMPRODUCT.
The most effective for me seems to be SUMPRODUCT (although this does slow excel down dramatically when you use a lot of these formulas). As do Array Formulas
The Pivot Table does not update on its own, therefore constantly needs to be refreshed. (I could use code to do this)
The DCOUNTA seems to be the least effective at doing what I want (unless I am doing something wrong)
In the attached example can the DCOUNTA be used more efficiently as I don't like the fact that I am duplicating rows to apply the criteria for a different shift. e.g
Area 1 - Late Shift - Banned
Area 1 - Early Shift - Banned
I want my table to be as follows (as the SUMPRODUCT shows)
AREA - Early Shift - Late Shift - Night Shift - Area Total
Area 1
Area 2
Area 3
Area 4
Area 5
Shift Total
I am acquiring multiple spreadsheets that do not always match row number, due to additional information on some sheets. By this I mean that the information may be in row 31 on on sheet and row 39 on another, the column location is the same each time. I have been trying Vlookups, indexing and matching plus combination formulas - with no luck. How to get the information I need with a moving cell reference?
I can provide a small copy of a workbook, if needed.
I have a table that looks like:

My excel (2003) is stuck in array mode - is there any way to get it out of Array Mode and put it back in the letter:number display for formulas/functions? It's doing this in VBA too which is totally killing me.
