Can VBA Create A Named Sheet In One Step?
My vb code currently creates a new sheet via "Sheets.add". This new sheet has the default name of "sheet1" which I rename as "tempSheet". I then populate tempSheet with data, save as a CVS file and then I remove tempSheet.
If I stay in my workbook and try to execute the code again, the default name of the sheet it now creates is "sheet2" and not "sheet1" - this is a problem becuase my code is trying to rename "sheet1" "tempSheet" and of course it cant.

Create A Named Range In VBA For Column A, Which Is A Sum Of B And C
I would like to create a named range in VBA for column A, which is a sum of B and C. The problem is that A can have 0 as a value. What I would really like to do is define the named range in column A as A2 to the last column with a value in column B(B10) which would make the named range in column a A2:A10.

Create Step Colors Based On Column Of Numbers
I have to make a macheine cycle chart. I have a column containing Step Names and a column containing step time in whole seconds. I need to paste the step names across Row 1 and whole numbers counting to X down colum A. I then need to have each second represented by coloring the cell, for example, Step 1 is 1 sec. and Step 2 is 2 sec. if "Step 1" is in B1 I need B2 colored then for "Step 2" in C1 i need C3-4 highlighted and so on for a variable number of steps. This is my first question so I hope I was clear enough. With this much programed I will be able to make simple changes to tweak it to fit my needs.

VBA Macro To Create Multiple Data Validation Lists From Variables & Named Ranges
I cant seem to find the correct syntax for creating 14 validation lists using array members as the source of the named ranged. The validation lists are stored on a different worksheet, the Named Ranges are created fine, as are the ranges that are having the validation applied. The Syntax I am having a problem with is Public Sub assignDVList(WSD As Worksheet, sListName As String) Dim DVListName As String DVListName = "DV" & sListName Application.Goto Reference:=sListName With Selection.Validation .Delete .Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _ xlBetween, Formula1:="=" & DVListName It is the Formula1:="=" & DVListName that is creating the headache. The sub is called as the array moves through the columns, using the header row as the Name for the Named Range, and the data Validation worksheet uses the same naming except it has DV in front.

Vba To Step Thru And Edit Data
I get a report that I have to manually edit everyday. I've done some VBA, but not sure where to start with this one. The attachment has two sheets, first is what I get and the second is what I want. I'll explain the process i have to go thru now and maybe I can get some help to automate it. First -Add the tech number to the first column for each job for each tech. 7988 us the first tech number. -Then delete every row that isn't a job. -Add a column with the install date.(report data near the top.) -Add a column and populate it with the system, which is the sheet name. Thats why its example.

VBA To Create New Sheet ...
I would like to be able to have a macro, linked to a button, so that when you press that button it creates a new named sheet based on data in a particular cell. I.e. There is a table with the following data: Apples (A1) Oranges (A2) Pears (A3) There are also the sheets Apples, Oranges & Pears. You enter 'Grape' in cell A4, then when you press the button it creates a new sheet named Grape. Also when a new sheet is created, the 'input cell', in this case A4, is moved down one so that when the next sheet is needed to be added, it doesn't just add the same sheet (i.e. in the example above, we don't end up with a new sheet named 'Grape' each time we click the button).

Create A Set Of Named Ranges
I'm trying to make my worksheet generate a bunch of named ranges whenever it is activated. However, I'm getting a "Not a valid name" error on the line in red. The value of r is a string, so I really don't see what the issue is. Another time, I got a object defined error, but I think I've declared everyhing too. That line is very similar to the line above, and tends to work once (the first time around the loop). After that, I get the errors I mentioned.

Named Range: Create Copy From Another Workbook
I have a named range within a sheet. It was pulled across when i performed a move/copy - create copy from another workbook. The name contains characters that cannot be displayed or recognised and so they are displayed as square symbols. This causes me an issue as i cannot delete the name. Even if i paste the list names, i cannot copy/paste the name as the characters are not recognised. I also tried using a macro to delete all names, which did delete all names, with the exception of this one. The VB code used was : Sub Del_Names() Dim myname As Name For Each myname In ActiveWorkbook.Names myname.Delete Next myname End Sub

What I would like to know is there a way of acheiving the same results with a single macro. Eg column A contains 4 cells with text. The macro when run will check for cell content then create folder based on that text macro will stop when next cell is empty.

Create Dynamic Named Ranges With Code
I am employing code to label dynamic ranges that takes the form of, ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="dms", RefersToR1C1:="=OFFSET(DMS!R10C5,0,0, COUNTA(DMS!C5),COUNTA(DMS!R10))" 'dms_j ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="dms_j", RefersToR1C1:="=OFFSET(DMS!R11C10,0,0,MATCH("" * "",DMS!C10,-1),1)" 'dms_p ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="dms_p", RefersToR1C1:="=OFFSET(DMS!R11C16,0,0,MATCH("" * "",DMS!C16,-1),1)" 'dms_r ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="dms_r", RefersToR1C1:="=OFFSET(DMS!R11C18,0,0,MATCH("" * "",DMS!C18,-1),1)" 'dms_t ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="dms_t", RefersToR1C1:="=OFFSET(DMS!R11C20,0,0,MATCH("" * "",DMS!C20,-1),1)" The dynamic ranges are getting entered but the problem is that the range "dms" overshoots by six cells into blank cells at the bottom of the table, and the rest of the ranges overshoot by ten cells into blank cell area. I have deleted, cleared and destroyed everything around the table and re-sized the active area to no avail.

Create Newly Named Worksheet Each Day
I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically create a worksheet based on a new day. I have a workbook with a worksheet for each day that I'm working on a job. I have to copy the last day's worksheet and rename it to the next day, for example, "Day 1" becomes "Day 2". What I"m wanting to accomplish is to have a new worksheet automatically created at 12am each day that I'm on the job, and the worksheet name increment for the next day. I guess it would need to constantly monitor the computer clock for 12am. Also, some of the functions are dependant on the previous day's values, so they would have to update as well. I'm assuming I'd need some VBA code to do this, and I'm ok with visual basic. Is there a way to do this that isn't too complicated?

Dynamically Create Named Ranges Based On Cell
I am looking for a solution to dynamically create named ranges according to the contents of cells in a particular column. The following code works for 1 word names, but in many cases the title cell contains numerous words separated by spaces. Is there a way I can adapt this code so that it will name the ranges with the spaces removed? For example, where cell C2 contains the narrative 'Sales Ledger Control', I would want the range name 'SalesLedgerControl'. Range("R2:Z2").Name = Range("C2") The named ranges are referred to in numerous other worksheets, where selecting a particular narrative from a listbox creates a dependant drop-down in the adjacent cell (eg if Sales Ledger Control is selected, the dependant list contains names of customers). FYI, the data validation in the other worksheets ignores the spaces in the range names, ie: =INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(G2," ","")) It would not take me long to name the ranges manually, but a macro is preferable because the narratives in the title cells will often change and the range names will obvioulsy also therefore change.

Also rename the new sheet (February) cell B3 the same as new sheet's name (February) So if month of February is near end, the macro button in February will create the same way as Jan did which means the next sheet will be named March and so on.

Create Hyperlinks To Named Range Where Names Resides In Column
I have two sheets. Sheet A has a list of folders. This list is updates dynamically every time the sheet is opened. I have another sheet (sheet B) which has a list of all the files in the sub-folders, listed with the folder name at the top of the column and the files within in the column underneath with hyperlinks to them. The goal is to be able to navigate to the folders on sheet A and to click there to go to the column where all the files in that folder are linked to. What I need is a macro that will search a column and for every cell that has text in it and create in the column directly to the right a hyperlink to the appropriate cell in the top row in sheet B that has the same name as the text in the cell on sheet A that it finds. I already have the macros for listing the folders on sheet A and the macro for listing all the files in the sub folders in sheet B and they work fine. The goal is a link list which is dynamic and that recreates itself no matter what I add to the folders. For instance, let’s say there is a folder timesheets. If I add a sub-folder called accounting to the folder Sheet A scans then timesheets would be bumped down one spot on the list, so the macro has to look dynamically for the text in the column on sheet A. Also the addition of the new folder would move the order of the columns on sheet B, since both lists are alphabetical. So the link generation macro would need to search row 1 of Sheet B to find the match for the text in the cell to the left of where the link would be generated and create a link to the top of that column. I’ve looked all through the site and not found something that I can even modify to do what I need.

Macro To Create Named Ranges Based On A Header Row.

The amount of rows in the range will need to be dynamic also. To clarify, every used cell stating in row 2 in a column will be the named range with the sheetname+text in row one of the column the actual name.

Macro: Create Named Ranges. Unknown Columns/Rows
I need to make named ranges from an unknown number of columns(at least 1) each with an unknown number of rows. Each column has the name of the named range as the first row, and then a variable number of rows containing part numbers. I can do it 1 by 1, but id rather do it in a loop so that blanks dont cause errors. there will be different people using versions of this sheet with different model/part number information What i've tried: Count number of colums with row 1 containing data (11 max, which is more than will ever be used) add into array(I know i dont really need to add into the array, but i might use it later for some other code). The problem i'm having is finding the range of rows that need added to the named dynamic range and adding it. modelcount = Range("G7") 'G7 (for now) contains =COUNTA(H1,I1,J1,etc) For i = 1 To modelcount Redim Preserve Models(0 To i) Models(i) = Cells(1, i + 7) Range1 = Cells(2, i + 7).Address(xlA1) lastRow = Cells(rows.Count, i + 7).End(xlUp).Row Range2 = Cells(lastRow, i + 7).Address(xlA1) Reference = Cells(2, i + 7).Address(xlA1) ThisWorkbook.Names.Add Name:=Models(i), _ RefersTo:="=OFFSET(Reference,0,0,counta(Range1:Range2),1)", Visible:=True Next i This gets me the range i need, but doesnt create the named range properly. If i go to insert>names>define, the named ranges are created, but they dont relate to the data in any columns. It shows the variable names rather than the cell range the variable represents.

Macro Pull Data From Each Sheet And Create A Summary Sheet
I need to create a macro that will scan a spreadsheet for the number of sheets and then pull data from the same places on each sheet in order to create a summary sheet. Let me try to explain a little better. The spreadsheet I'm working with has a separate sheet for each new deal our company makes. Each of these sheets is in the same format - we use a template and fill in the data based on that whenever a new deal emerges. The sheets contain basic info about the deal in the first few rows and columns, then some narratives with dates describing the progress of the deal, and then a list of issues and whether or not they have been resolved. The problem is, each of these sheets contains too much info for a quick, high-level overview with the bosses so they've asked me to create something that will pull the basic info, the most recent narrative, and any unresolved issues from each sheet. This way, each time there's an overview scheduled with the bosses, the macro can be run and it will create a new sheet with data from each sheet in the workbook.

Named Constant To Return Sheet Name
Most of the methods used for returning the sheet name are quite cumbersome. "=MID(CELL("filename",A1), FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,256)" takes up a lot of space in a larger formula. Is it possible, please, to create a Name which returns the sheet name? For example I could write "=ThisSheet" and it would return the name of the sheet. Of course I could resort to a UDF, but I wondered if it could be done directly in Excel. When I try to insert the formula "=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,256)" into a Name, Excel helpfully converts A1 to "'Sheet1'!A1". So "=ThisSheet" in Sheet2 returns "Sheet1". If I make the sheet name part of the Name, as in "'Sheet1'!ThisSheet, it works OK, but has to be added for each new sheet (though it works if an old sheet is copied).

The data validation is a list of every sheet name except sheet 1.

The Dim oldName Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) Dim Rng As Range Set Rng = Range("F9") If Not Intersect(Target, Rng) Is Nothing Then Range(oldName).Name = Range("F9") ActiveWorkbook.Names(oldName).Delete This Code works great for 1 range - but I have 30 - I can't seem to figure out how to copy it etc for the other 30 ranges.

Go To Sheet Named As Text In Button Caption
There is a 'Home' page with a button for each employee - clicking the button takes the user to the appropriate employee's timesheet There is also an 'Add New Employee' button on the home page which brings up a form and allows a new employee to be added. Each employee has only 1 worksheet (Which is created based on a blank template page) When the 'Add New Employee' button is clicked a form pops up which ask for name, D.O.B etc. The user fills out the form and clicks ok. The template sheet is then copied, renamed to the employees name, and all relevent fields are added to the template sheet (based on the users input). A button is also generated on the home page with the employees name as a caption and when it is clicked it goes to employees timesheet. I have almost got this working. The only problem is this only works once, So For Example say i Add 'John' then i add 'Mary' on the home page i now have 2 buttons with 'John' and 'Mary' on them. The problem is as soon as a second employee is added (Mary), the first employees button(John) is linked to the second employee's Sheet rather than its own(Mary). and after the spreadsheet is closed the buttons dont work at all.

Named Range That Refers To Active Sheet
is there a way to have the same named range cover a range of cells regardless of which sheet you are on? They seem to want to default to the page you are on. I want to make some VBA subroutines that will go over each sheet, and perform the same functions on each sheet. All sheets have the same format, but different data. I guess worst case scenario I can just break down and use multiple workbooks, but this seems a little less desirable. Should I be dividing this into seperate posts?
