What Does Option Explicit Actually Do

Aug 30, 2008

i've used this a few times at the top of various modules, as suggested by various knowledgable people on here, but it might be a good idea to find out what it means, and what it actually does!

Option Explicit ....

Feb 18, 2007

I have some VB code "For, next" that I have written with numerous variables. All the data appears to be totaling correctly. After reading some comments on this site I added Option Explicit to the top. Well, it stops on my first For Each Cell, with cell highlighted and an error message 'variable not defined'. I have searched and searched and can't find what it might be. Does this error message mean I am getting incorrect results? Is there an easy way to determine which variable is not assigned? A function key or something?

Option Explicit

May 3, 2007

I work on a worksheet that has 10,000 rows all in column A with members that have 353 different plans.

Here is an example:

Robert
James
Ted
Ronald
This is for plan 426-0
Amanda
Nikki

This is the total for plan 426-7000

I need to move the plan type for each member to column c. When moving the plan type I only want the number have the dash. For Robert/James/Ted in column C the plan type is 0. For Amanda and Nikki in column C the plan type is 7000. I have created a macro that can move the plan over but not the number after the dash.

Here is what I have come up with so far.

Option Explicit
Option Compare Text

Sub R007()
Dim i As Long
Dim sPlan As String

For i = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
If Left(Cells(i, 1), 5) = "Plan " Then
sPlan = Cells(i, 1)
Rows(i).Delete
Else
Cells(i, 3) = sPlan
End If
Next
End Sub

Excel 2013 :: CF With 2 Option Buttons / Multiple Option Groups?

Sep 6, 2013

I have several option groups (Y & N in each) linked to cells to display TRUE / FALSE depending on which option is selected in each group. I have another cell which I want to apply conditional formatting to if EITHER Y or N is selected in all groups. At present I use COUNTIF to check for FALSE=0 in the linked cells which works if all the answers are Y. How do I apply CF if there is a mixture of Y & N (TRUE / FALSE) in all groups (I'm not sure if I've explained that well or not).

Explicit Hyperlinks, Relative Hyperlinks

Feb 21, 2007

I have a spreadsheet and within the first sheet there are lots of hyperlinks to other cells within sheet 1 (my template).

I have made a small macro which very basically makes a copy of sheet 1 (my template)

The hyperlinks in the template are explicit and as they are copied to sheet two, they still reference back to cells in sheet 1. I need the hyperlinks to be relative, so that when I make a copy of the template the hyperlinks are copied and make reference to cells in the new sheet. I cannot work out how this should be done

Option Buttons

Aug 23, 2007

I created a frame in a spreadsheet I put in 2 options buttons that I called Left the first one and Right the second one. I got 2 cells lets say C10 and G10 in these 2 cells I write the cell number values. When I click on button one or Left, I need the cell C10 be set focussed and write a number e.j 5. However, when click on the second butt to write a number e.j 7, the number in the cell C10 still there, so, what I need is a cero or an empty cell C10, and viceversa. Could you help to write a code for this problem.

ParamArray Option

Nov 28, 2008

My purpose is:

1) I have a macro workbook with multiple procedures (6 main tasks)

2) Some workbooks will use all procedures, and some will not use all procedures (most use either 4 or 6 of the procedures)

3) To hide the unwanted procedures as required, the menus will not appear for those choices (in code that creates custom toolbars on activate)

Solution (proposed):

1) send a paramarray argument with string elements that identify menus to use

2) send a “show all” true or false, to simplify identification of workbooks that use all procedures

Reason solution is chosen:

1) I can basically have one macro workbook this way – so simple implementation even where some workbooks won’t need all the macros (and should definitely not be making them menu options).

2) If I add more routines, I can just extend the ParamArray as needed and continue to identify specific toolbar options to use or not use.

Problem:

1) That paramarray is interesting! It can’t be passed and its initialized as an array with bounds 0 to -1. Also, it can’t be tested directly to see if its Empty. So I came up with checking for the -1 UBound, combined with loading the elements into another array (seems stilted to me).

I’m not sure what I’m asking, but…I need to determine if the paramarray is being used, and be able to pass it. Is there a simple way to do that? As I’m sitting here writing I’m realizing I could just pass a regular array and dispense with the ParamArray option -- well, I’ll post my thoughts anyway. Sorry this is so rambling…

Here’s the code I’m using (basically). Note that DoSomething actually checks each element of the array to see if it matches a potential menu item (by name), and if so, marks that menu item to be added - since there's 6 menu options, I placed it in a separate method to avoid have it in the routine 6 times.

Maybe I'm just curious if anyone ever successfully uses the ParamArray option - it seems to me to be somewhat of a bother that you can't easily tell if it's been passed in or not, or use it like a regular array (check if its empty, etc.).

Sub MyToolbar(ByVal blnShowAll, ParamArray args() As Variant)
Dim a() As Variant
Dim x As Variant

Two Option InputBox

Mar 22, 2007

I am trying to simply the data input for someone who is not very experienced.

I have had some success but need to have an extra option in case of mistakes.

Ideally I need the following -

I want an inputbox that will appear when the user starts the macro and for example asks Enter Surname

Then I know what I want but I don't know how to do it.

I want a box to display the Surname that the user typed into the inputbox with a message asking Are Details Correct? with a Yes and No Button.

Clicking the Yes button moves onto the next inputbox clicking the No button cancels the whole macro before it enters data into cells.

Adding A Second Option To COUNTIFS?

Dec 26, 2013

I have a COUNTIFS function that, among other criteria, only counts cells in which the value is "P". I now want to modify this function to count cells in which the value is "LA" in addition to cells in which the value is "P". I'm not sure how to work this into the argument. I tried using OR("P","LA"), but that's not working.

Option Button Grouping

Dec 10, 2013

I'm trying to replace a bunch of checkboxes on a sheet with a bunch of Form Control Option Buttons. The problem I'm having is every option button I add seems to be grouped with all of the rest of my option buttons. If I add buttons 1 & 2, I need those 2 grouped together, and when I add 3 & 4, I need those grouped together. Currently it's grouping all 4 buttons together so 1 - 4 are linked, but I need 1 & 2 linked together, and 3 & 4 linked together. I've tried grouping, but it still doesn't function how it ought to.

How To Unload Option Buttons

Jan 17, 2014

Attached I have kind of a score card, when you open the tab named TEAM1 a userform pops up and I pick the partners that played together, then I can pick an option button labeled 0,1,2 or 3, when it unloads, is it possible to make it put the corresponding number by their names in the empty row (W) of the week they are playing?, and not just the 1st open row available?

For example, if I pick the names Ryan and Stu the number will go under week 10 (X3) and not find the empty cell in (J3)?, I have no clue how to make this happen, but I made a userform to use, to try and make it work.

Option Buttons And Combo Box

Jun 2, 2009

I use Excel2007 and saved this workbook as excel2003, the combo box doesn't dropdown anymore? I don't understand why....is it just settings? If you could have a look at the code I use for the option buttons...when I select the first optionbutton it calls the msgbox without selecting the offset cells. From optionbutton2 onwards it works fine.

Option Button Usage

Jan 2, 2010

I have a worksheet where the user selects between two option controls, which are mutually exclusive. when they toggle an option, a user form pops up, depending on which option they selected, and askes them for a number, which is used in a calculation elsewhere in the page. The user form has a cancel button, in case they decide to back out. If they cancel, I want the option buttons to reset back to their original state.

The problem I'm having is that when I code it, if you select cancel on the user form, it causes the option to revert back to it's previous state, but that triggers the selection of the option again, which pops up the form, making a neverending loop! Is there a better way to do this? I tried it with a toggle button, with the same results.

Option Buttons To Use For Searching

Jan 13, 2010

I know that there is an ocean of information out there with regards to option buttons, but for the life of me I am unable to find what it is I am looking for. So I will try to explain what I am trying to do as best as possible. In my workbook I have 4 sheets. Sheet 1 contains all the data. The remaining sheets have taken all the data and broken it down by machine type. IE(carton errector, Carrier errector, etc) I have a series of user forms that you would navigate through to perform a search. For This example frmMain_menu is where the user would start out. I only have code added for the first button (Pearson).

This will bring up another form with more options for the user to select. Currently I only have code for the Carton Errector button. Once the user has selected that button frmCarton_Errector pops up and it has a series of 12 option buttons to choose from. What I am trying to accomplish is say the user selects cylinders, I would like once the search button is clicked for the program to is search sheet2 col f for the caption value of the option button selected. Any hits that it might find I would like to display certain datafrom the rows in a list box.(IE col A,B,G)

Option Button Reordering Itself

Nov 7, 2013

Working on a project for a client, and I have two option buttons set up on the spreadsheet, grouped together with a frame and linked to the same cell. Working on the sheet on my computer, the button on the left gives me a value of "1" and the button on the right is "2". When I email the spreadsheet to my client, the buttons reorder themselves, so that the button on the left gives him a value of "2" and the button on the right is "1". Is there a way to prevent this?
