I know that we should declare all variables at the beginning of a subroutine, in fact I'm told it's good practice to use Option explicit to 'force' variables to be declared, my question is why?
If I don't declare a variable the routine still seems to work OK so what is the downside of not declaring them upfront? Is it just for neatness or common practice or is there another reason?
As a rule which variables should I declare?
Sub checkPO()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Application.EnableEvents = False
Dim Rng As Range, MainSheet As Worksheet, item As Variant ', CurrWidth As Integer, UnitWidth As Integer
Set MainSheet = Sheets("Orders To Chase")
Set Rng = MainSheet.Range("B5", MainSheet.Range("B60000").End(xlUp))
totalqueries = MainSheet.Range("B5", MainSheet.Range("B60000").End(xlUp)).Cells.Count
UnitWidth = 282 / totalqueries
With progbar '\displays the please wait box
.Show False
.prog.Width = 0 '\ updates progress bar
.Repaint
End With
If I declare the variable my progress bar goes off screen. remove it and its back to within its box.
I haven't declared any of these variables either. Does this matter?
POnum = .Range("G5").Value
Supplier = .Range("A5").Value
Req = .Range("B5").Value
Ordered = .Range("E5").Value
Why it seems not possible to declare variables in Class modules like so:
[Code] ....
i need to set the range of variables that user can add to the range.
For Example:
AA_*
BB_*
CC_*
ABCD_*
so we accept variables STARTING with AA_ OR BB_ OR CC_ OR ABCD_. If the user enters sth else, then I want to disable the "Enter" key. (If the Cell is Empty than it is also OK!!)
If disabling the Enter key is not possible then maybe i can use Conditioning Formatting? But the question is then if i can use for single condition OR statement.
I have a series of operations to carry out and, while I can do the code for each individual one, how to declare the variables correctly and have the operations done in a series of Do/ Loops or For/Nexts. Especially the declaring of named ranges as variables. Also a bit uncertain of the best way to find and coy the match. I have attached a simplified version of the workbook, with explanations on it.
Basically what I need to do is loop through a series of named ranges and then loop through the names in each, match each name with a name in a master list (with a flag as an image), add an e-mail hyperlink to that flagged name and copy both to a new cell.
I have a userForm (Form1) that contains a persons name that I would like to reference in a separate UserForm (Form2). In the separate UserForm (Form2) I need to reference this persons name many times, so I was wondering if there was a was to declare this name in the separate UserForm (Form2) as a constant. Only thing is that a constant, to the best of my knowledge, must be an expression and not a variable. Mainly, I'm trying to avoid declaring the myName variable in each Sub within Form2, which it will be needed for a ton of Sub's.
Code for Form2: Const myName As String = Form1.txtName.Value
I'm making a Form with multiple pages and on every page there are atleast 36 Textboxes.
[Amount] [Description] [price]
I want to run a small sub updating the price on changing the amount. My code now looks like this:
Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
Call UpdatePrice
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox2_Change()
Call UpdatePrice
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox3_Change()
Call UpdatePrice
End Sub
I have to do this on 8 pages, 24 to 36 times, which makes the code extremely long. Is there a better way to do this?
Something like:
Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_Change(), TextBox2_Change() etc...
Call UpdatePrice
End sub
what does the symbol # means in VBA? (but I couldn't put the # in the subject of my message )
I'm trying to understand someone's code... at some point he wrote:
sum_LU_Area = 0#
I thought that the # was used to declare a constant but I'm not too sure because in his code earlier he declared
Public sum_LU_Area As Double
Beside, sum_LU_Area is calculated somewhere further in the program.
I am running into the error, "Procedure too large". I know I need to break the range down into Arrays, so how can I hard code the values into an array? I cannot find an example to follow. Ranges: D:E,K:L,O:P,....etc. I know I can break the rows up into an array too, but one thing at a time. Here is an example of the range for D:E.

If mycondition = True Then
myArray("Test") = 1
End If
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. I think this was not a proper global variable declaration by which I can allow to declare only one variable in all Module, Class every where. I have used code as below -

Can a Function give two or more output variables. e.g.
Sub a()
x = 5
result = Y(x)
End Sub
Function Y (x As Integer) As Integer
Dim B
B = ... * x
Y = ... * B
this will give back Y as a result. But if I want to get 2 or more output variables (let's say I need to get also B into sub) from one function, how should I do that?
I need this because function works with large matrix and I want to extract some values appeared in between.
I'm trying to loop through a range in excel from access, checking where the titles (in Excel row 1) match with the fields (in a recordset in Access that is passed to the function) - and where they do, I want to dimension a variable to hold the column number - I'm not sure it's possible, but I'd be interested to know either way. The line I'm asking about is at the bottom of the code - the rest of the code is just to give context...

There is no 3rd scenario, even though logically there should be.
I am trying to put variables in this URL which is related to yahoo finance :
