Using Variable Filename In VLOOKUP
Mar 26, 2014I'm working on a project where I need to populate a column with vlookups taken from different workbooks, I have for the most part got it working. However currently, everytime it populates a cell it prompts the user to select the sheet from the workbook as there are two. The sheet name is always the same so I tried to add it into the code so it would avoid having to repeatedly click okay while it populated the table.
This is the original code where it asks for the user to select the sheet every time.
[Code].....
This is what is produced when it is run and the user selects the worksheet each time (which works perfectly fine):
[Code] ...........
I tried to enter the Full Costs sheet name into the code like so:
[Code] ......
However this produces the following:
[Code] .....
The issue I have found is that the square brackets that are around the filename are generated automatically, they aren’t in the actual filename and I haven’t put them in, so I am struggling to work out how to add the sheet name in where it wont be included within the square brackets, as that is what's breaking the lookup.

Define Path & Filename As Variable
Feb 16, 2007Private Sub cmdImport_Click()
Dim exportFile As String
exportFile = "c:jpmimportTrinity_ImpImport_" & Format( Date, "dd-mm-yy") + "_" + Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss") & ".csv"
Open exportFile For Output As #1
I put a watch on exportFile and it's correctly set to: "c:jpmimportTrinity_ImpImport_15-02-07_17:55:01.csv"
However if I try to run this I get "bad file name or numer" when I open for output - the path exists and I can write to it, so must have a fundamentally wrong approach.

Using Manual Filename Variable To Import Data
Aug 18, 2006referencing a variable during a data import. I have searched the forums here and the web for a couple weeks and attempted enclosing the variable in many different symbols.
Nothing I have tried works. I have also read chip pearsons guide but I was still not able to get it to work.
I am trying to provide a way for the user to input the filename and location in an input box and then use that variable to import the data. It is only one file that is needed.
The message box filename is only included to allow me to verify the text input.
Dim Filename As String
Sheets.Add. Name = "All Data"
Filename = InputBox("Enter Filename: ", "Enter Filename Location")
MsgBox Filename
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;Filename", Destination:=Range("A1"))
.Name = "SHOAlarmsJune2-9"
.FieldNames = True

Jul 24, 2012I am trying to use a cell reference to have excel automatically Save a worksheet using a cell reference as the workbook name. When I step through the code and use the immediate window I get the correct name for the file (fname in this case) but as soon as Excel tries to save the file, I get an error.
Here is the code I am using:
fname = Sheet3.Range("I1").Value
ChDir "S:Op CostsBudget 2013Data"

Refer Folder/Filename In VBA Code Through Named Cell Reference
Oct 31, 2008I have the following codes in which I am to refer a file and folder to do some further processes.
myfilename = "C:Documents and settingsacsMy DocumentsEntrymyfile1.xls"
folderPath = "C:Documents and settingsacsMy DocumentsEntry"
I want to enter these two paths in a sheet in my excel report file (For example, I am running the report from Report1.xls, in which there is a sheet name "Filepaths". In this,
in B5, I would like to enter the Filepath (B5 named as "FILEPATH")
in B6, I would like to enter the Folderpath (B6 named as "FOLDERPATH")
So that, if I am copying the folder to another area, I no need to change the code every time in the VBA editor. I can do changes in these cells and it will be taken as the path to run the code further.

I have recorded a macro which contains several lines of code like this one:
Windows ("variable Filename").activate
May 26, 2009I have created a macro to split out information from one excel workbook into 2 additional workbooks, and format them the way we need. Everything works fine on the filename I originally recorded the macro from, but is giving me a 'subscript out of range' error when trying to run the macro on a file with a different name.
currently, my test file has the 2 following fields that I somehow need to have as variables:
Windows("insmacrotest20090418.xls").Activate
and
Windows("Book1").Activate
I need the filenames and workbooks in the parenthesis to be variable so that the macro can be run on other reports with varying filenames.
Variable Reference

View 9 Replies View RelatedReference Variable With Value From Another
Mar 3, 2008Is there any way of referring to a variable name based on the value of another variable? I have the following code: (where the value for "aux" is defined somewhere else)
Dim aux As Integer
Dim number1 As Integer
Dim number2 As Integer
Dim number3 As Integer
If aux = 1 Then number1 = 1
If aux = 2 Then number2 = 1
If aux = 3 Then number3 = 1
The variables "number1", "number2" and "number3" are always filled with the same value ("1"). Is there any way of writing the "If-part" of the code in only one line? I was thinking that maybe there is a way of calling "number1", "number2" or "number3" depending on the variable "aux". For instance writing something similar to: number + aux = 1

VBA Workbook Reference Via Variable
Feb 18, 2008Ive just finished writing a macro that copies data from different parts of one workbook into a new workbook. However after doing all that my boss now informs me that the first workbook will be renamed regularly.
Is there a way adding a reference to a workbook that is not dependant on the name? Possibly declare it as a variable at the beginning or something? The indexing is not possible either as they might have multiple Spreadsheets open at any one time.
Creating External Reference With Variable?
Feb 27, 2014I'm wondering if there's any way to put a variable for a cell address in an external reference formula. Basically, I'm creating an abridged report of customer data that takes a single customer's info from 2 other workbooks on a networked drive and compiles the chosen cell data into one worksheet summary of their info. The base external reference formula looks like this:
='F:Projects[CustomerDB.xls]Sheet1'!VariableCellGoesHere
I want to know if there's a way I can make the formula use a variable cell address that I can just type into another cell to tell it which row I need to grab info from. Generally, all of the customer data I need is spanned across multiple columns in one single row. The formula above appears multiple times in the sheet I'm trying to make. The first is for "Name", the next is for "Address", next is "Phone Number", etc. So for instance, if I want customer data from the main spreadsheet and that customer's info is on row 355, my first few formulas are:
='F:Projects[ProjectDB.xls]Sheet1'!$A$355
='F:Projects[ProjectDB.xls]Sheet1'!$B$355
='F:Projects[ProjectDB.xls]Sheet1'!$C$355
Is there a way I can maybe have a designated cell where I just enter the row number I need (e.g. 481) so the formula sees that number and plugs it into the cell reference above resulting in the formulas adjusting themselves to ='F:Projects[ProjectDB.xls]Sheet1'!$A$481?
Use A Cell/variable As A Sheet Reference?

How can I do this?

Reference Specific Cell As Variable?
Feb 22, 2012I have a spread sheet that lists a bunch of dates and expected volume that will be associated with the date. I need to build a macro that will look at the first date expand it out for several months then look at the volume and break that out over a week's time.
That part is simple enough but I need to turn this into a looping statement and I cannot figure out a way to get my macro to always come back to the next date in my list.
Ideally I would like something that is a variable that references the cell I want so I can do something like this.
Code:
MYRANGE = range("B2")
Do
range(MYRANGE).select
[Code]....
This should work for me perfectly if I can just figure out how to make the MYDATE varaible reference a sepecific cell rather than a value or text in the cell.
Using Variable As Cell Reference In Formula
Jul 15, 2014I'm trying to use a variable as a cell reference in a formula using '&', but can't seem to get it to work. I've looked through the forum, which have examples of how to do this using a range, but not just as a single cell reference. This puts the formula '=VLOOKUP("A & lastrow &"" , Vlookupinput, 2,0)", which obviously gives me an error.
My code is:
Code:
Dim lastrow As String
lastrow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
ActiveSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 1).Select
ActiveCell.Formula = "=VLOOKUP("A & lastrow &"" , Vlookupinput, 2,0)"
Sum Across Sheets With Variable Cell Reference
Jul 9, 2008i'm trying to use the sum across sheet function - i.e. - =SUM(Start:End!B1)
Whereby "Start" and "End" are the two relevant sheet names and "B1" is the cell I want added up.
However, can I make B1 variable, whereby there is a cell, say in A1, that contains the string "B1", so that I can make it sum C1 or B20 or anything on the other sheets?
Public Variable Loosing Reference
Mar 14, 2008I've got the following code, setting up and initializing a Public variable for a sheet, but I've found that it's has no value after the Auto_Open is run,
though it works fine in the procedure Auto_Open calls.
I can get around it by reSetting it in the module I need it in,
but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a Public variable:
code in Module1
Public parSheet As Worksheet
Sub Auto_Open()
Set parSheet = Worksheets("Params")
Call Initialization.BuySellInit

Variable Cell Relation / Reference In Macro
May 29, 2012I am building an Excel sheet for my company which keeps track of who has done what with a new client in a step by step process. I have it set up so that once a department clicks complete in a box it automatically emails (VIA a macro) the next person who needs to do the next task. Some tasks are done by the same person no matter what, other tasks are done by a project leader which is different depending on the client.
The problem I'm having is that, within the macro, I need to reference an email address in a cell X cells to the left in the ".TO" line.
So, in Column A I have the CLIENT, Column B The PROJECT LEADER, and Column C The PROJECT LEADERS EMAIL. Then the next 22 Columns are labeled steps with drop down boxes, once the have selected "COMPLETED" it triggers the macro and send the email, just not on the ones when it needs to email the PROJECT LEADER, since it's a variable. Below is the macro, how I can have the ".TO" line in the email reference the email address in Column C to the left of it?
