What I am looking to do is have a range of cells that I have named to be used in a data validation for a drop down box. I have named the cells and would like to have the user name the cells by typing in the name into one cell.
For example
Cells F10:F14 are named "orange" right now (typed in cell F9)
I would like the user to be able to change the name of the cells to whatever they want by changing the cell in F9 - i.e. "banana" and the range is automatically named banana so the data validation can search for Banana instead.
The
Dim oldName
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim Rng As Range
Set Rng = Range("F9")
If Not Intersect(Target, Rng) Is Nothing Then
Range(oldName).Name = Range("F9")
ActiveWorkbook.Names(oldName).Delete
This Code works great for 1 range - but I have 30 - I can't seem to figure out how to copy it etc for the other 30 ranges.
Change "refer to" in Named Range. I have a named range myrange referring to A1:A5. I have a condition for B1, if B1= annual then myrange should refer to C1:C5 and not A1:A5..
I have a worksheet with many pivot tables and (eventually) 2 data sheets. I run a macro that creates the first pivot table and copies it 17 times. Then, using Call, I would like it to create the second data table, "Credits" (I'm working on that, but that's a seperate issue). Finally, I want one of the existing PT to change to the new data, "Credits".
I'm using an named range and that seems to be where I'm breaking.
I have a chart in a workbook that works fine by looking at the following data series:
=Workings!$A$2:$C$35
In the data series above...where the numbers are 2 and 35 I have named ranges "CHART_Start_Row" and "CHART_End_Row" which will change dynamically as appropriate and can replace these static numbers - but how do I incorporate these named ranges into the data series reference?
I have written this macro to convert into a csv file to run for all defined named ranges in the activesheet. It run jst perfect when I hit SAVE button and it creates that many different CSV files for each named range.
However I am trying to use same macro in the another file and the problem I am facing is there a lot more named ranges and I want to run the macro for only selected NAMED RANGE. In this case 2 Named Range / 24 Named range.
What part of code do I need to change and to what to make it work for just 2 named ranges ?
I need to create a named range on multiple sheets with the same named range & i cant figure out how to do this. EG :- I want to create a named range called "_SubUnitRows" on sheet1 starting from "A1:A50" & other named range again called "_SubUnitRows" on Sheet2 starting from "A1:A25" ...
I would like to combine List1 and List2 into a 3rd named range called List3. I was wondering if this were possible without using any additional cells/columns (i.e. I don't want to use Column C like in the example shown in the link above).
I am trying to make a UDF that searches for a header, grabs everything under the header, and pulls it somewhere else. My UDF has three parameters:
1) Output_Range: the named range where the parameters will be pulled to 2) Header: the header to search for in order to copy the data underneath it 3) WorkbookName: the name of the workbook to search in
It looks like this:
VB: Function LoadParameters(Output_Range As Range, Header, WorkbookName As String) MyTimer = Timer 'Defining the variables. Dim HeaderCell, HeaderCellEnd, HeaderRange, Output_Range
I have some named ranges that refer to 5 pieces of data organized into a row. For example, the name MyNamedRange might refer to $C$5:$C$10.
I am trying to loop through each column and get the values in MyNamedRange, then change corresponding values in a different named range. However, when I try to use Offset to access the subsequent columns of MyNamedRange, it doesn't work. It only gets the value of the first column right, the rest return <EMPTY>.
How do I go about using named ranges instead of cell names(ie A4:A9)
Private Sub UserForm_Activate() Dim lngRow As Long Dim intIndex As Integer UserForm1.ComboBox1.Clear 'Clear combobox lngRow = 2 Do While Sheet1.Range("a" & lngRow).Value <> "" For intIndex = 0 To UserForm1.ComboBox1.ListCount - 1 If UserForm1.ComboBox1.List(intIndex) = Sheet1.Range("a" & lngRow).Value Then Goto NextRow End If Next intIndex UserForm1.ComboBox1.AddItem Sheet1.Range("a" & lngRow).Value NextRow: lngRow = lngRow + 1 Loop End Sub
I wanted to change "a" to the defined range "search"?
the code to add two independent named ranges cell by cell in vba. Both of the named ranges have the same structure and the sum would be posted to a third area of the same structure cell wise.
At the moment I have to click in the cell and then look at the cells used and look across to the title of the rows.
So for example, performance = D3*D4*D5*D6
I would like, performance = vehicles*availabliity*utilisation*TKM.
That is easy if I have just 1 option. But what if I have 3 options? Naming each cell would be a way to do it but pretty laborious, is there a 'smart' way to use named ranges here?
I'm creating a KPI spreadsheet which utilizes named ranges to allow for Dynamic charting. I've created the first data input sheet for one of the 10 areas being KPIed. The sheet has 60 named ranges in it.
The goal is to duplicate the existing sheet (Area 1A) 10 times and adjust the named ranges and formulas within the named ranges according to the sheet names.
Is there a way to accomplish this without having to manually recreate or edit every named range for each new sheet?
I want a sumIF function (based on three criteria) to fill the values of cells in a column so long as there are values in the cells in the column before that one. I was working with trying a loop, but have been shown a faster way is using the With function.
There are four named ranges that all exist on a separate sheet in the file: Crude, Location, Year and Volume. Based on the first three columns of the file I wish to have an output for the sum of volume based on crude, location and year.
Right now, my output simply returns the total sum of the "volume" range in each cell in the output column.
For example, if total sum of values in the volume column is 100 then my output column currently looks like:
I created a simply macro that will adjust the headings of a group of cells as follows.
But if I add a row/column to the sheet, it will then of course attempt to place the headings in the wrong cells.
I have now given that group of cells/range a Name of "AR_Buckets". But I'm not certain how to modify the macro to ensure it always places the information in the correct place.
I am having problems getting the code below to follow my intentions. I have 2 files. I have a temporary file that holds all the data that I need. I have a destination file that needs to have data copied into it. In the temp file, I have data for several dates and product types. What I intend to do is to do a vlookup in VBA to look for the date and the product type in the temp file and copy the appropriate data to the destination file. I have numerous named ranges both in my temp file and my destination file. For the code below, I wanted to make a loop to find the date in the temp file that is listed in the destination file. Once this is done, I wanted to find the product type in the temp file that is listed in the destination file. If both conditions exist, then copy a certain range from the temp file to the destination file. My intention is evident in the code, but I don’t think that I am putting in the correct “code format”.
(Using Office 2003 on XP Pro) I have two named ranges that I want to union into one big named range so that I can use the big named range in a validation table. Unfortunately the big range does not appear on the list of named range so I switched to VBA to try and lick this but really I was hoping a non-VBA solution exists. Exploring possible VBA solutions, here is what I have so far:
I'm trying to make my worksheet generate a bunch of named ranges whenever it is activated. However, I'm getting a "Not a valid name" error on the line in red. The value of r is a string, so I really don't see what the issue is. Another time, I got a object defined error, but I think I've declared everyhing too. That line is very similar to the line above, and tends to work once (the first time around the loop). After that, I get the errors I mentioned.
I have two named ranges, LV1 and LV2 and wish to select them for printing. If the ranges were fixed I would use - Range("A2:H4,A8:H10").Select - how do I do the equivalent using the named ranges in vba?
The worksheet contains 20 different datasets which are divided into separate 30 x 10 grids, all of which help comprise a larger 300 x 20 grid. I have defined each smaller grid/dataset as its own named range. Originally the entire dataset started in A1, but I am shifting it dataset down by 40 lines to create space to work at the top of my workbook.
I am wanting to create a data validation list in A1, then have cells A3:J32 populate with the named range I select in A1. However I also want this populated dataset at the top of the sheet to be a mirror -- not a copy.
Therefore once I have the data in my range available A3:J32, anything I manipulate would be mirrored in the original range in the lower portion of the workbook.
I am importing an external Sheet into my Excel workbook but it only imports the data not the named ranges. I need the named ranges to be imported and overwrite any existing range of same name.
Example:
In existing workbook Sheet I have a named range, ABC which is A1:E10 - in the Sheet I am importing the ABC range is A1:E12. So when I have done import I want named range ABC in my workbook to become A1:E12 (as per external Sheet).
This is the code that import data (but not named ranges)
=VLOOKUP('ITEM ADD-CHG Form'!Z19,Brand_V,2,FALSE) Another wrench!. If the value in cell Z19 is not found in the named range "Brand_V", the formula returns #N/A. I need to replace #N/A with the verbiage DEF while leaving the other results intact.
I have some named ranges and am trying to do a "Countifs" based off the named ranges. But Excel is giving me obvious incorrect data (my fault, not Excel's). I can't really post a pic of the issue, hopefully it's an obvious error on my part.
For instance
SpecialPart is a named range consisting of part numbers that I want to count seperately from all others.
PartNumber is a named range of all parts shipped for a period.
I used countifs becuase I am also checking by month. The month part works fine because I use it in other countifs. It's just this one that isn't working for me.
As mentioned, the month part of the formula works in other calculations, but the Part/SpecialPart calculation keeps returning a "1" even though there are multiple instances of a match for each month. A manual count of January showed about 100 lines that should have been counted.
I'm trying to learn more about the SUMIFS and COUNTIFS functions and am practicing with some hypothetical data. I have data about the number of gallons of paint sold in 4 regions.
In my hypothetical situation, I need to find out the number of gallons sold in the Northeast region during the month of August.
I have named ranges for most categories: "Date," "Gallons_Sold," "PaintColors," and "Region."
I am having an issue with dynamic charting using named ranges in excel. I quite often create dynamic charts using IF and OFFSET formulas to check conditions in order to create charts of data based on user inputs.
The issue I am having is with linking multiple tables of data in a single named range. In order to make this spreadsheet easy to maintain I am trying to take 3 separate databases and link the spreadsheets through named ranges. The formula I have written is as follows:
=VLOOKUP(VALUE(LEFT(OFFSET("Serial number I am referencing",1,0,"Qty of rows containing data",1),6)),"Value I want to return from separate table",10,FALSE)
[The formatting of the serial number between the two sheets is slightly different but they share the first 6 digits (hence the wrapped VALUE and LEFT formulas).]
This formula is working perfectly except that it doesn't store the entire data table in a single cell, it only returns a single value. If I enter the formula into a cell and drag it down it returns all the information correctly, however if I create a named range using the formula and try to chart it only the first value returned is charted.
Any way to modify the formula to store the entire data array in the single cell value so it will chart when used as a named range?
This, as I understand it is counting the number of times a row contains the text "XXX" in column H and also contains the text "YYY" in column D.
This seems to work for me.
Now my problem is when I want to change the formula to search for the text "XXX" in column H and also any text that apperas in a named range on another sheet in column D. The named range is called "New_Starters"
I am using the below formula which is returning N/A's.
I have 8 branch's data (on 8 separate sheets) which I have Named (in excel) by referring to the range for that Branch's data. My named ranges are:
ct_lookup_act dbn_lookup_act pe_lookup_act
etc.
On the first sheet of the workbook I would like to be able to select a branch from a dropdown and then the sheet should display selected data only for that branch using a Hlookup function (all the data for each branch are in identical sized ranges and are ordered the same).
I have tried the following:
Cell A1 = dropdown list of available branches (ct,dbn,pe....etc) - as an example choose "ct" Cell A2 = concatenate (a1,"_lookup_act") - and I have named cell A2 as "which_branch" - and in this example the data in A2 would be "ct_lookup_act"
Cell A5 = hlookup("Mar 14",which_branch,2,false)
Result:
the hlookup function returns #N/A because it is looking for "Mar 14" in the range defined by "which_branch" - ie cell A2, instead of looking in the range defined by "ct_lookup_act" (as an example).
