Working With A Subset Of A Named Range
Dec 19, 2008
I have a sheet of data that is imported from an external database. Depending on which report gets imported, the column count and column location will vary. However, the headers for the columns I need to work with are constant, therefore I create a named range for all columns, and reference the ranges as I work with the data and avoid hard-coded cell references. Therefore, the ranges are one cell wide, with up to 2000+ rows.
Here's my problem. I need to reference a sub-set of a named range, to get the min of the subset. I've searched this board and others, but can't find an example of this method. The code is within a loop, and the range subset location is determined by a count on another named range.
The data involves Tasks and Subtasks. Each task can have multiple subtasks, and each subtask has it's own start and end dates. I'm trying to determine the earliest start date and the latest end date for each individual Task so I can determine the total duration for the Task.
Here's the code that determines the cell range. This code is working.
d2 = WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("ASR"), Range("ASR").Cells(y, 1).Value) ' count number of tasks in this ASR, store in d2
The code that I can't figure out is below. The compiler can't figure out what I'm trying to do. (Neither can I!!)
d3 = WorksheetFunction.Min("Planned_Start_Date").Cells(y, 1), Cells(y + d2 - 1, 1).Value) ' Get the min Planned Start Date for this ASR
In english: Look in the Planned_Start_Date named range, and more specifically a certain subset of that range, and return the minimum date found.
I've tried several ways, none of which will compile. I realize the above code is way off; I include it to show how lost I really am!
Slightly off-topic: I'm fairly new to VBA, and am expected to create executive dashboards with the data. I've purchased Excel 2003 Power Programming with VBA and Excel Charts (both Walkenbach); Excel Programming 2nd Edition; Excel Edition of Using Visual Basic for Applications; and Dashboard Reporting with Excel, Kyd. These are all useful books, but I think they expect me to have a better understanding than I have.

I have a problem using a named range as an arg to worksheet functions.
First, I create 2 end point names for the range, myStart, myEnd.
Then I create a named range myRange = myStart:myEnd
This formula in a cell works: SUM(myRange)
This formula doesn't: COUNT(myRange) . It crashes Excel, requests Restart.
But these work: COUNT(myStart:myEnd) and SUM(myStart:myEnd)
Why does SUM work for either set of args, but COUNT only works for one set?
Here is the F3, PasteList output:
mFirstCol =mFirstColMinus1+1
mFirstColMinus1 =COLUMN(Sheet1!$A:$A)
mInsertCol =COLUMN(Sheet1!$B:$B)
mLastCol =MAX(mFirstCol, mInsertCol-1)
mNumberCols =mInsertCol-mFirstCol
mRowEnd =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(1,mLastCol))
mRowRange =mRowStart:mRowEnd
mRowStart =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(1,mFirstCol))

The formula is =SUMPRODUCT((Group="A")*(Project_Description="Long Term")*(Profile="B")*(INDIRECT(B9)="x"))
B9 through M9 have header text Jan_2012, Feb_2012...Dec_2012. Basically my aim is to get the above formula working before I drag it across so that the named ranges get picked up automatically from the headers.
Jan_2012 thru Dec_2012 are dynamic named ranges using INDEX (and not OFFSET as someone mentioned OFFSET is a volatile function).
The above SUMPRODUCT formula is giving me a #REF! error for the (INDIRECT(B9)="x") part. I know that because when I replace it with (Jan_2012="x") it works fine.
I realized while writing this that it may be because the named range in Jan_2012 is not the same size as that of other arrays. [but it is the same size - I've re-confirmed just now]

I have a sub where I pass in a 1200 row by 8 column named range. Inside the sub I want to create a single column, 1200 row range. I also pass in which column I want to use of the 8 in the big range. So I pass in a number between 1 and 8. I create a new range, but i am not sure how to reference a particular column. I am trying to avoid looping.

Let's say you have a named range, Rng1, which consists of cells A1 & A2. In vba how would you report back what, if any, named range the following cells resides:
Code] .....
here are multiple named ranges so using intersect is not feasible. Essentially, through code, I will be given a range and I need to determine if that range if part of a named range.

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'm trying to make my named ranges remember the values of the last active cells used within another named range. The purpose of this is to make my charts dynamically change dependant on two criteria selected. My spreadsheet currently updates itself as and when I change the active cell within a single named range, dynamically changing the chart data by using Lookup based on the active cells value. However I want to get away from having several charts showing, I would like to have a single chart which dynamically changes based on a second selection. So the first selection is for a department (Facility) which changes the chart data relevant to that department, the second selection is to dynamically change the chart shown for the pre selected department.
Picture2.jpg
Using the following code when updating just one criteria with several charts
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(ActiveCell, [MeasureType]) Is Nothing Then
[valMeasurePicked] = ActiveCell.Value [code].....
which works fine but I'm not sure how to add a second selection criteria because my code uses Activecell. I thought that the VBA needed to set the last used value of a range as a variable and therefore allow the second criteria to be selected but am not sure how to put it into practice.

I did the huge macro that names a bunch of dynamic ranges, all similar to the following: Range("=OFFSET(BD!$C$32,0,1,1,COUNT(BD!$32:$32))").Name = "ChtBDLabel"
I tested it as I went along, so I know it was working. Then I worked on several other tasks (copying the range to another location on the sheet, making graphs from the ranges). Now when I go back to run this again, I get: Run-time error '1004':
method 'Range' of object '_Global' failed. I went and looked what I thought were my named ranges, and they were wrong (not dynamic, just a cell reference). I deleted them and tried again with same error.

Merge two columns into one list in excel
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).
Here's the formula from the example:
Code:
=IFERROR(INDEX(List1,ROWS(C1:$C$1)),IFERROR(INDEX(List2,ROWS(C1:$C$1)-ROWS(List1)),""))
I've played around with it, but could not come with any that worked.

I have read post re this question but have not been able to answer my problem. I get the error message 'Application defined or object defined error' when running the code below. I should indicate the range counter currently indicated about 6,200 rows that this code will work on and the individual range names in the list of 6,200 rows are spread over at least 20 worksheets.
The code appears to be running but after some time it stops on the line of code 'Range(Cells(i, 1).Value) = Cells(i, 2)'.
Sub PopulateWithImportData()
Dim counter As Integer
counter = Sheets("Imported Data").Range("Counter")
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Worksheets("imported data").Select
Range("a1").Select
i = 1
Do Until i = counter
Range(Cells(i, 1).Value) = Cells(i, 2)
i = i + 1
Loop

I need method, using a button, that looks at a cell--say EO2, for example--, looks back on a master worksheet at a specified row and range for a match, then looks at the information from a specified range below the matching cell (The information in this column will either be blank or have an "X" in the cell), and then those rows that do not have an "X" will be hidden in the corresponding rows in the working worksheet. Therefore, if at any time the value in "EO2" ever changes, then it will automatically find a new match and repopulate and hide information as before. About 130 columns will have its own button so that a "query" can be made that depends on the information in a particular cell in that column.
The master worksheet now has matrix of 287 rows and 58 columns. Each row is for an operating procedure and each column shows a job code. An "X" in a coordinate cell for a column/row shows whether that job code is responsible for knowing that operating procedure. So, on the working sheet, an employee's primary job code is given underneath his or her name. When the button is pushed, all the operating procedures not required for a given person will be hidden and only the required ones will remain visible--grouped, if you will. Qualification dates will be easier to see now that the information is consolidated. Whenever someone transfers to a new position, a new code will be inputed on the working sheet. When the button is pushed, a new grouping will result. Any operating instructions that overlap will still have qualification dates, so that information will not need to be transcribed.

Im sorting a dynamic range as mentioned in this Sorting a Named Range. My range is called drWarningTypes and is defined as:
=OFFSET(DataSource!$A$2,0,0, COUNTA(DataSource!$A:$A)-1,1)
When there is only one cell in the range, then running the following sort function includes A1 also in the search (and also adjoining columns).....

I am trying to calculate some averages. What I have is 3 columns of data in A, B, C, also the "tasks" in A are in named ranges ex: "Award Contract" is a named range - "Task_Award" and "Confirm Updates" is a named range - "Task_Updates". I've attached a sample excel sheet.
I'd like to be able to create a macro to evaluate column A, and for every row in range "Task_Award", give me the average of the corresponding cells in column C and put it in the same range of cells in column B , then, for every row in "Task_Confirm" then give me the average of the same range of cells in column C and place the result in the same range of cells in column B. This is my very first post so I hope I am doing this correctly. I have 77 of these task ranges to evaluate and it will take a long time to do it manually. I'm thinking of a loop function.

I have a named range that expands and contracts based upon the amount of data that is in some column. Call it AllData_UsedRange.
I have another named range that actually refers to a range. Call it AllData.
Column A
Row2 56
Row3 44
Row4 65
AllData is a named range that refers to the range A2:A65536
AllData_UsedRange refers to A2:A4 by way of this formula.
=OFFSET(AllData,0,0,COUNTA(AllData))
How to I obtain an address of AllData_UsedRange in VBA code?
These do not work...
ThisWorkbook.Names("AllData_UsedRange").RefersToRange.Address
Evaluate(ThisWorkbook.Names("AllData_UsedRange"))

I am trying to create a graph for a range of data that updates monthly (adding an extra month each time). I wanted the graph source data to update automatically each time the data is refreshed so used an OFFSET formula to identify a named range. I then point the graph to the named range as the source data.
When I enter the range as the source data the graph picks it up. However, when I re-enter the source data option on the graph it has converted the named range into a cell written range (ie. replaces "=QUALITY" with "='Front page'!$B$7:$J$10" - which therefore will not update when the range increases.

My searches have not produced anything that I could apply to this situation.
I'm trying to write VBA that would:
1. Search a Workbook for Dynamic Ranges.
2. When a Dynamic Range is found the code would:
A. Determine the current coordinates for the range.
B. Change the "Refers To" value From "=OFFSET...." To "=Worksheet_Name $Column$Row:$Column$Row"
3. Save Changes.
4. Close File.
My apologies but I have very little experience in writing VBA. I understand about variables, arguments, and IF/THEN but just enough to use functions within Excel.

I have a workbook of data that I created a pivot table with. From there I need to rank each value of the NES, column C, within the corresponding Reporting Structure, column A. The table that I created will be update with data on a monthly basis and I don't want to have to redo the rankings every month and just have it refresh.

I've got a table on a worksheet (daylies) with daily data, dates in A6, A7, A8, ..., various data in columns B, C, D, ... .
Now I would like to make a subset table on a separate worksheet (weeklies) with just weekly snapshots, i.e.,
snapshot from daylies off row 6 on row 2 of weeklies,
snapshot from daylies off row 13 on row 3 of weeklies,
snapshot from daylies off row 20 on row 4 of weeklies etc.
Is this possible or do I have to use the sledge hammer technique of copy and paste?

I am trying to e-mail a portion of a spreadsheet that I have. My approach is the following: I save a copy in a temporary folder, open that copy, remove all the sheets that I don't need to send out, save it (same name as the e-mail subject), and then e-mail as an attachment.
The current approach does not remove the macros and references though. I use the following to remove the macros and references:

I have a set of data that can be divided into sub-sets. I've attached the sheet of data. There are 5 sub-sets and each of these has 5 sub-sets. The sets are defined by the Portfolio and End columns.
So, the 25 sub-sets look like:
10 INTL
20 INTL
30 INTL
40 INTL
50 INTL
10 LCG
20 LCG
30 LCG
...
I'm wondering if there is a way to write a formula in cell N10 that basically pulls in '10' and 'INTL' and finds the correlation on only that sub-set of data. So I guess I want a formula that returns a range such that =correl(Range1, Range2) will work. Also, the length of the ranges will vary, so trying to write an INDIRECT(ADDRESS... will not work. I tried an array-formula in cell N10, but it didn't work. I also included my expected output. in M18:O24.
I know I can do this in other ways, but I really want to learn if there is a way I can do this with 1 formula that I can just drag down. I guess its more of a learning opportunity than something that needs to get done.

I've got a list of employees with their division and a bunch of other data in each row. I want to copy each and every row to another sheet based on the division.
_______________________________
ID | Name | Division | Other
4 | Joe | South | up
5 | James | South | over
8 | Jim | North | down
9 | John | East | left
14 | Jerry | East | right
Assuming "ID" is A1 and the list is sorted by Division, I need some code to accomplish my goal. I know C/C++ so I understand the principles of programming but I'm just learning the VBA syntax. First thought is to loop through each row moving them individually but then I have to worry about putting it in an open row on the other sheet. Then I thought about finding the first row that contains the target division and, since the data is sorted by division, select each subsequent row and copy the entire selection at once to avoid fumbling around in the destination sheet. Hopefully someone out there can make sense of this and help out. Please let me know if I need to elaborate.

I have a named range, called SubjectNamesPastoral on a worksheet called Worksheets("Group to Teacher")
I can't assign the named range to the rngSubjectFamilyRangeOnSubjectUsedSheet variable in vba.
the first two lines of code work fine, the msgbox shows "E100:E105", happy days!
However when I try to assign the same range to the rngSubjectFamilyRangeOnSubjectUsedSheet variable, the debugger runs past the 'Set' line without error, but throws 'error 91' at the second msgbox.
VB:
thisString = "SubjectNames" & strSubjectFamilyOfGroup
MsgBox Range(thisString).Address
Set rngSubjectFamilyRangeOnSubjectUsedSheet = Worksheets("Group to Teacher").Range(thisString)

OK, I have a huge SS with lots of named ranges. Many of which are dynamically assigned lists.
All of the existing ones work fine, but when try to add a new named range, it returns the cells from a previously named range. (Always the same old one.)
example:
A range (one of many) is named "Shift_List" and is defined using
=OFFSET(info!$C$3, 0, 0, COUNTA(info!$C$3:$C$2000),1)
New range is created named "PN_List" and is defines using
=OFFSET(info!AA$3, 0, 0, COUNTA(info!AA$3:AA$2000),1)
When I create a Data Validation List or otherwise use "Shift_List" as the source it works fine.
However if I do the same thing and refer to "PN_List", it returns the items from "Shift_List"
Any new named range returns the Shift_List cells, although older ones still work correctly.
