Call Macro From Text Value
Mar 13, 2012
I have a named range, which pulls a text value from a vlookup. This text is the name of a vba sub I have written. What I would like to do, is call the macro based on this value. This is what I have so far but I can't get it to run.
Code:
Sub ControlSheets()
ActiveSheet.Calculate
Hideallsheets
Dim MacroSub As String
MacroSub = sheets("Control").Range("SheetMacro").Value
Call MacroSub 'this is the name taken above that i want to call
End Sub

I have the following code pasted into the worksheet module which used to work fine but no longer does. I didn't touch the code, it just stopped working.
Private Sub WorkSheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Select Case Target.Address
Case "$A$16"
Select Case Target
Case "Custom Color 1": Call CustomColorInput1
Case "Custom Color 2": Call CustomColorInput1
Case "Custom Color 3": Call CustomColorInput1
Case "Custom Color 4": Call CustomColorInput1
Case Else:
End Select
Case "$A$17"
Select Case Target
Case "Custom Color 1": Call CustomColorInput2
Case "Custom Color 2": Call CustomColorInput2
Case "Custom Color 3": Call CustomColorInput2
Case "Custom Color 4": Call CustomColorInput2
Case Else:
End Select
Case "$A$18"
CustomColorInput 1-6 are the same except they input data into different cells F16-F21.
When I attach any of the CustomColorInput macros to a button it works fine. When I try to call it from the worksheet module, the data input box pops up but the data doesn't get entered into the cell. When I try to step through the CustomColorInput macros using F8, the input box pops up, I enter data and press ok. Then I continue with F8 and the debugger jumps to a custom function that I entered (below), which is not called for and is in no way related to the code.
Function PullAfterLast(rCell As Range, strLast As String)
PullAfterLast = Mid(rCell, InStrRev(rCell, strLast) + 1, 256)
End Function
When I close VBA, the data that I typed into the data input box is in the correct cell.
So basically, I'm getting three different responses from the offending code depending on how I call it up. Can anyone tell me what's going on?
More generally, in this and previous occasions, I've had problems with macros that cease to work for no reason that is apparent to me. What are some things that would cause a macro to stop working, without actually changing the code (other than the obvious, like referring to names or worksheets etc. that don't exist anymore)?

I'm using a CALL Macro to split up a HUGE macro into different pieces:
Code:
Sub RSLDASHBOARDV2()
'Macro recorded 12/14/2010 by Ryan R. Koleno, Pharm.D.
'Last Updated 7/10/12 by Ryan R. Koleno, Pharm.D.
'Do Not Modify Code Unless Given Proper Privileges to do so.
Dim APPSPD As Worksheet
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
[code]...
The first few macros dealing with page setup and what not work fine but when it hits the Pivot table code for the STATSPIVOT macro it errors out stating: "Run-time error '1004': Unable to get the PivotItems property of PivotField class' at this point in the code:
Code:
objField2.PivotItems( _
"TRC").Position = 1
objField.PivotItems( _
"MEDCO MAIL OR AOB").Position = 2
When this macro is not split up it worked fine as written. Am I overlooking something in the Call Macro's code or is there a variable I'm not aware of. I have included the Pivot Table code that errors out as well.
Code:
Sub STATSPIVOT()
'STATS PAGE BASED ON STATS DATA TAB
Sheets("STATS DATA").Select
Dim objTable As PivotTable, objField As PivotField
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("STATS DATA").Select
Range("A1").Select
[code]...

This is the code I use to call a macro when the macro Im calling is in the same workbook.
[Code].....
However, I would like to call this same macro when using another workbook. I copied the macro "Clearformating" and pasted into a personal macro workbook module. However when I add this code to the sheet tab it will not run the macro.
I also tried this code.

I have a work book with 3 sheets. Sheet 1 is the main sheet and sheets 2 and 3 will use (I hope vlookup) to update 3 columns from info in sheet 1. my attempt at a vlookup call in sheet 2 is: =VLOOKUP($b3,[master_AoJ_2.xls]Sheet1!$B$3;$B$65,false)
my understanding is that: - $b3 is the cell in sheet 2 that will be updated as a result of the vlookup call. - [master_AoJ_2.xls]Sheet1!$B$3;$B$65 refers to range $B$3:$B$65 on sheet1 of master_AoJ_2. it does not work... infact I get nothing at all. when I type the call into cell $b3 of sheet2 excel thinks it is stariaght text. this is how I coded the function call =VLOOKUP($b3,[master_AoJ_2.xls]Sheet1!$B$3;$B$65,false)

I am trying to run different macros by clicking various different buttons on the sheet, I then want different data to load into the user form depending which button was pressed. So I have buttons named "SV_1" and another named "SV_2". when either button is pressed then it runs a common macro that gets the name of the calling item. then I want to add "Macro" to the beginning of the calling item name and then call that macro. here is the code that I am working with, when using a watch i can see the value of the variable is "MacroSV_1" when button 1 is pressed but I cannot get it to run the Sub.
VB:
Public ClkBtn As String
Public CallMacro As String
Sub ItemCall()
[Code] ......

I am trying to write a sub that executes a sub in an xla add-in. How can that be done in general?
More specifically I am wondering whether it can be done with the limited info that I have about the add-in and the to be executed macro within the add-in.
assume the name of the xla add-in is test.xla. The add-in is locked. I therefore do not know the name of the sub to be executed nor do I know the "on action" name of the sub in the ribbon. All I have is the Ribbon button label. Assume the ribbon button label is "ButtonLabel".
Is it possible to call the macro just by knowing the ribbon button label? If yes, how does the script look like assuming the above xla and button name?

I've created a simple UserForm, and with some great help from royUK. I've managed to get it working to suite my needs. The next thing I need to do is call it when the user runs the macro.
How do I call the UserForm from within the macro that I created?
Once the user gives the input, how do I take the values and pass them to the loop in the macro?

I have created a custom menu and saved it as an .xla, one of the functions on the menu is to open up a workbook from a file path. The second option on the menu is to run a macro from the custom menu that is saved in this opened workbook.
Is it possible to write a code that will go off and find this macro from this open workbook?
The reason I wanted to do this is so the user has two options to enter data from however I didn't want to copy the macro over from the original workbook as in time the workbook will be updated

i want to create a lot of buttons, one in each line, that, when you click on them, open a file. The filename is in a cell in the same row as the button.
Of course every button should open a different file, and that is the problem. As far as i know (not very much) the buttons can only call other subs, and not with an argument.
What should i put into the "onAction" property of each button, so that each button opens a different file? I really dont want to create hundreds of subs just to get this done, there must be another way.
PS: By the way, how can i delete all but one buttons of a sheet with a vba script? Or shall I open another post for that?

I've got a macro working that updates things in different sheets, the sheets have peoples names in (this can't be changed).
When running the macro its fine, but if a new person is added i would need to update the macro for every sheet (the macro can be run from every sheet within the workbook).
I've noticed if you right click the sheet button and go to properties (or something) that it shows (Name) Sheet2 and Name Joe Blogs.
Instead of the macro calling to Name i want it to call to (Name), is this possible?
The code that calls the sheet looks something like this:
Sheets.("Joe Blogs")
Instead of looking for Joe Blogs i want it to look for Sheet2

I am Having trouble calling an macro that is not in the module that is calling it. I thought that all I had to do was label the Macro as Public instead of private, but it is not working. If I copy and Paste the Macro code into the module that is calling it, everything works just fine, but this is making it difficult to keep things organized.

I've made a user form and have it entering my data to "Sheet1". How do I get a macro that I already have in module1 in the same wookbook to be ran on "Sheet1" after the user clicks cmd1button. I've tried putting the code from the macro inside the user form with an if statement checking for true on optionbutton1 but it just skips the code. I know it goes to the end because my code to clear the user form values is at the end and it's clearing the form of all values. I can't find the proper way to call a macro inside the user form either.

I have created a command button so that the sheet asks for a password. Now I need to include that in an already created code. I have created a command button as:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
If LCase(Me.TextBox2) = "password" Then
Run "Showall"
Else
Run "Hideall"
End If
End Sub
Can someone tell me how to call this macro in another macro. That is when another macro is running and if the condition fails, this macro should be called. Is it something like run "CommandButton1"?

I have a program that produces data while im working on it, i want to start an excel macro (excel app running in background) from a keyboard shortcut that imports the current data. I cant think of a workaround, letting the macro run on a timer isnt possible since i want to be able to decide when exactly it imports the data, without the need for alt-tabbing out of the program (since its an directX app so alt-tab takes time and is annoying).

I'm trying to create a macro that will check that an Swedish corporate identification number (CIN) is correct. Swedish CIN conist of 10 numbers and are always written 123456-7890. The last number is a control digit to see if the CIN is correct. I've managed to get the macro working but I am not able to get it to work automatically. that is I want the macro to start running immediately after you have entered a companys CIN. In my template you are supposed to enter the CIN in cell A1, and I want the macro to check that immedately when you have pressed "enter". I can not get it to work. the macro works when I do it manually, that is Tools>Macro>Macro..>Run. I've read all about it here but I guess I just don't get it

I am trying to add a macro to the ACCT DATA sheet, which calls one of two subs (AddCarriertoChecklist() - or - ClrPolChList() located in seperate modules). The macro should call them depending on whether "X" is entered in a cell in column "E". The issue lies in that I have macros doing a few things to this sheet already, and I am unable to tie this one in.
I have the two subs (AddCarriertoChecklist() - or - ClrPolChList()) working. I just can't seem to get them called. This small bit is how I was attempting to call them.
[Code] ......
Below is how I currently have it tied in with the rest of the code for this sheet:

Is there a way to call a subroutine anytime any control is changed within a userform?
For example,
I have a userform that needs to go through and add/multiply almost every value in every textbox and also add together values associated with checkboxs. I need this to happen anytime a textbox value is changed or a checkbox is checked.
