I'm running a sheet with three pieces of code (all blagged from these forums thank you) Two of the sub procedures have the same name "worksheet_change which generate an ambiguous name error. This I sort of understand. However I've tried changing the second one of the subs names to "worksheet_change1" and whilst the ambiguous name error goes away the sub routine then fails to function.

Many years ago I wrote some structural analysis programmes in BBC Basic. I still use them but the hardware is now getting old and I am worried that, if it packs up, so do my calculations. The calcs. in BBC Basic include many subroutines which, basically, run the same calculation numerous times on an iterative basis until a solution is found, e.g. the highest point on a curve, the lowest point on a curve etc. etc.. This use FOR 1 to 300 and NEXT statements. Once a figure is obtained it might well be used by another part of the programme. The programme is also interactive, allowing me to choose a suitable timber beam for instance from a selection that the programme has listed as satisfying all the stress criteria. Once I specify a joist size the programme continues and provides a detailed calculation, based on the section size chosen.
Can Excel be programmed in this way?
Okay, I made an epic fail on a previous post that i turned to Solved, a real error on my part of not fully testing before i posted Solved, basically i was so excited that i'd solved it myself, well partially.
I have the following code in the first sub routine that collects which option button has been selected.
[Code] .....
The second sub routine is per following.

Unfortunately when i tested this with only one variable myRev(1) it worked fine but when i added more myRev variables 2 thru 4 if failed, so is there a trick to passing an array variable between sub routines?
I need to use both of these VBA scripts in my excel project. The first is this:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Sheets("Sheet2").Range(ActiveCell.Address).Value = 1 Then
ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
End Sub
The second is this:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim lScrollRow As Long
Dim lScrollColumn As Long
Dim lTargetRow As Long
Dim lTargetColumn As Long
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
lScrollRow = ActiveWindow.ScrollRow
lScrollColumn = ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn..................
When I enter both into the script box and then try to run it, it says that there is a compile error with an "ambiguous name detected "worksheet_selectionchange"
my macros to search for the word "Cancel" in columns "T". Once found, I need the macros to make that entire row a certain pattern ( .Pattern = xlGray16)
There will be other wording in these cells that contain "Cancel" or "Cancelled".
A compile error keeps occurring. It says "Ambiguous name detected: FormatCell"..
I've got two macros that work beautifully apart from one another ... but put the two in the same Excel workbook and they bump heads. I get the infamous "Ambiguous name detected: Worksheet_Change"
I know enough about VB to get myself into trouble. So, I'm asking for help from a talented person to show me how to combine the two ... or another work around to get through this.
Here are the two sets of code in my sheet that I think are causing the ambiguous name problem. How can I work around this error?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim varFind As Variant
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Column 2 And Target.Column 9 Then Exit Sub
If IsEmpty(Target) Then Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 0
If Target.Column = 2 Then
Set varFind = Columns(16).Find(What:=Target.Value, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlWhole)
If varFind Is Nothing Then
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 0
Else
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = Cells(varFind.Row, 16).Interior.ColorIndex
End If
End If
I want to include a progress bar in my macro and have got the code from another website. However, after the progress bar is displayed i cannot get it to move to the next line of code in the module. In the example i've got, the code in the user form window simply calls a sub called "main" and continues on through that sub. Whenever i call one of my sub routines an error box states" ambiguous name detected". This never happens with the sub called "main"? Why is this happening? A portion of the code is shown below. After "userform1.show", the user form is displayed but the program will not move on to "get_blades" sub routine?
Browse_Folder
' Sub routine "browse_folder" selected to select folder
' containing the mea files.
UserForm1.LabelProgress.Width = 0
UserForm1.Show
' HourGlass
get_blades (lookinname)
' Use sub routine get_blades
Range("T3").Select
sort_data
Option Explicit
Public Const ARK As String = "Inddata-ARK"
Public Const VVS As String = "Inddata-VVS"
Public Const KON As String = "Inddata-KON"
Public Const EL As String = "Inddata-EL"
Public Const LD As String = "Inddata-LD"
Public Const KØL As String = "Inddata-KØL"
Public Const OpDat As String = "Opdatering"
And then macro's under it... So the aboce is in module "INIT_S". Now in another module "RUN_P" I have a sub-rutine that uses these constants with a select case.
Likes this:
Sub OpEksInitNu()
Select Case ActiveSheet. Name
Case ARK
With OpEks
'more stuff
Case VVS
'more stuff
Case KON
'more stuff
End Sub
But when I try to run OpEksInitNu i comes with ambigious name with ARK as the error, later down I use another public constant. But i keep getting the ambigious name error.. What could cause that... I have tried to locate all ARK, VVS etc. to try to determine if it is used later on, but it's not! I only declare the constants one time, and no module is called ARK, VVS etc.

But I have duplicated what I want for the other columns but I get ambiguous name detected and the other columns do not work my knowledge of macros has hit its limit ...

The first goes through a directory and opens all the files.. after it opens a given file it goes off into a sub-routine to process the data in that file.
I am trying to create a counter in the first sub-routine and then pass that value into the second sub-routine to tell it to put the values out on the next row down.. so the first time through it puts the values out on row 1, next time it puts them out on row 2, etc.
on sheet 1 which is named front cover i want to type in cell C8 a number or a name and it will change sheet 2 tab to what i type i have 20 sheets to do

My workbook has a summary page and one page for every day of the month. I am making a template file, so I can duplicate it to use every month of the year.
Each week is separated by a worksheet titled "week 1", "week 2" , etc. This is used in the summary page so I can gather totals for a week.
What I want to be able to do is this:
On the first day of the new month, go to week one and type in the date. Then that sheet tab would equal the date, and each daily tab name thereafter would increment the appropriate amount (1day). Then on week 2, it would be equal to the tab value for Friday +3.
The problems I see are:
1. In week 1 the month can start on any on of the 5 worksheets I have set up to cover the week. So any first day coding I need may have to be repeated in the first 5 worksheets
Is this do-able?
2. Tab naming code I have found on this site is not working for dates. 9-15-08 typed into a1 will not translate into the tab, even tho it is a valid name. I am using code VoGII gave which follows: ...

This causes problems because everything we do is in real time and expected to be viewed by all as soon as save has been indicated.

I have a spreadsheet which has four columns and numerous rows
Example:
Location - Desc - Price - ID#
Electric - Duplex Outlet - $5.00 - 12-0001
I would like to use VBA to name ranges. I need to name the Desc., Price, and ID# columns separately and want to use the Location and the headings of each column as the name range. Example - the column containing Duplex Outlet would be named ElectricDesc.
This is what I came up with, but need to figure out how to make "add name" a formula combining Location+Desc. I tried concatenate (B1,A2) but it did not work.
ActiveSheet.Names.Add Name:="MyRange1", RefersTo:="=$A$1:$B$10"
To automatically make the name of a sheet tab the same as in cell A8 of the same sheet, I'm currently using the following code ...
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.Name = Range("A8")
End Sub
however, I find that if I change the name that is in cell A8, the tab name doesn't change accordingly.
I need a code that will name the tab whatever is in cell A8 but also be fluid enough to change the tab name if the contents of cell A8 changes.
I do not want this code to operate all sheets, but only a few.

View 9 Replies View RelatedBasically my code creates a load of checkboxes and I need to name them appropriately as they will be used in the next part of the code.
I haven't had a problem changing the caption properties etc but I need the name to be meaningful and unique - it works fine if I just want each checkbox to be called i.e. "CB1" etc but I want the name to be derived from a range within the worksheet.
Below is an extract from the
the_row = 10
For Each Item In ActiveSheet.OLEObjects
If Item.progID = "Forms.CheckBox.1" Then Item.Name = WorksheetFunction.Substitute(ActiveSheet.Range("C" & the_row).Value, " ", "_")
If Item.progID = "Forms.CheckBox.1" Then Item.Object.Caption = ""
If Item.progID = "Forms.CheckBox.1" Then Item.PrintObject = False
the_row = the_row + 1
Next
Column C contains the name which is unique to each checkbox, I simply need to replace any spaces with "_" but when I am not defining a set text string the name of the checkbox does not change.
