VBA - Referring To Named Range On Different Sheet?
Jun 20, 2012I just named a range on a sheet and would like to paste that range on a different worksheet within the same workbook. I can't figure out how to refer to the range. I've tried several different variations so far. Example below:
ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Names.Add Name:="RawSectorData", RefersToR1C1:="=R6C1:R29C11"
'Add new sheet and paste data
ActiveSheet.Name = "Raw_data_Sector_Summary"
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add.Name = "RawData"
Range("A1").Formula = "=RawData!(RawSectorData)"
Referring To An Area Relative To A Named Range
Sep 7, 2009I'm working on or any part of it on here, because the work belongs to my employers and would constitute the loss of trade secrets. It would also take me way longer than I have the time to invest to put together a functional duplicate of the relevant part of the sheet just to be able to post it.
With that in mind, what I'm trying to do is refer to part of a range that spans five columns (though it could conceivably span more in the future, so I'd rather not count on that detail) and a constantly changing numbers of rows. The part I want to refer to includes all columns, and all rows except the first and the last in the range.
Creating Named Range Taking Avg To Date Of Dynamic Range
Jul 15, 2014I have a column of data that keeps getting new information in it. what i need is a named range that i can use for a chart, first point in the named range will be the first value in the column, second point will be avg. of point 1 and 2, then 3rd point will be avg. of 1,2,3 etc.

Aug 19, 2014I'm trying to create 3 different named ranges which are of alternate cells in columns. Each column runs from row 3 to row 106 and each named range covers 5 columns. Therefore each named range needs to contain 260 cells (52 cells per column x 5 columns).
Apart from the fact that you can't deselect a sell by Ctrl+Right Clicking on it, making a selection of the relevant cells is proving impossible.
For example I carefully selected all 260 cells for my 1st named range and entered a name. However when I then go into Name Manager I see that loads of cells haven't been selected at all and instead some cells in some columns have been but with huge gaps between them. If I try to then add cells my Ctrl+Clicking on them I find that I can add some but then one of two things will happen. I'll either click on one cell, the same cell every time, that deselects everything and I have to start all over again or when I try to save the new range I get a message saying the formula is wrong.
I've also tried typing in the names of the cells manually but the same thing happens. Annoyingly I've manually created a formula with all the cells I need in Notepad but even though the option to Paste is there, it won't let me paste into the field!
Is there a limit to the number of cells you can have in a named range?
Is there way of editing the name range accurately?
Is there a better, easier way of selecting all the cells for a named range?

Creating A Local Named Range
May 8, 2006I am working on a process model, which requires that the same basic procedure be carried out for each unit in the process.
One worksheet is allocated to each unit with data concerning the flow streams being passed from the previous unit and the product being linked to the next unit. Although the same procedure is therefore being followed on each sheet, the input data differs.
I currently have the code to perform the required technical operations and calculations for a single unit. This code is very much dependent on named ranges.
I want to use the same core to perform the routine-operations, but need either unique named ranges on each page or I need a way to define name that is limited to the specific worksheet on which it is located.
For example, I might have an input range for a heater and splitter, with a technical add-in in VBA performing calculations on the input for each unit. How can I use two separate instances of the name "Input" instead of "Input_Heater" and "Input_Splitter"?
Referring To Named Ranges
Dec 11, 2007I'm creating a button so as to input a chart where the user inputs the name of the range that they want the chart to hold. The named ranges are dynamic thus I want the graph to also be dynamic but when added the source is simply the range of the name rather than the name itself.
Is there anyway I can enter in a VB variable into quotations marks so that it simply writes that.
Creating Column Reference From Named Range?
Apr 22, 2014I am attempting to obtain the last non-empty row in a column of a spreadsheet by using the following formula
=SUMPRODUCT(MAX((A:A<>"")*(ROW(A:A))))
This works fine.
However, I'd like to make it more dynamic and be able to obtain a usable column reference (i.e., the A:A portion of the formula) from a named range (single cell).
Created Named Ranges Referring To Wrong Worksheet
Aug 22, 2007I have a FOR loop which is supposed to loop through all the worksheets in my workbook, create a named range, then add some data to the right of the range. However, when I run my code, all the named ranges refer to the last worksheet in my workbook. The loop only seems to be partly working, and I just can't work out why.

Find Matched Value In A Range For Named Cell Then Copy Range Cells Below
Aug 6, 2013I 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.
Dynamic Named Range Sort Including Cells Outside Defined Range
Apr 3, 2008Im 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).....
VBA To Get Average Of Range Of Cells Based On Named Range In Different Column
Apr 10, 2013I 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.
Excel 2010 :: Creating Multiple Tables In VBA And Referring To Newly Created Tables?
Jul 1, 2013Using Excel 2010. I'm writing a macro that sets up a workbook to be used for estimating at the beginning of a project. In the code I need to create multiple tables (formerly known as "lists") in the workbook. Then later in the code I need to refer back to those newly created tables. Currently, the code that creates the table is part of a loop that creates the table on many different worksheets. The problem of course, is that I have to name the Table, and then it won't create a table of the same name on the next sheet. Then, later in the code, I need to make adjustments to the table that was just created before looping to the next sheet.
Is there a way to create a table without giving it a constant name? Or by giving it a name that builds off of other info in the sheet? For example, I would be good with the naming the table after the sheet name: "Sheet1_Table" or such.
Code:
Sub Auto_Open()
'
Dim sht As Worksheet
If Range("A1") = 1 Then

Number Of Cells In Named Range
Dec 9, 2007I would like to know how many entries/ cells a particular named worksheet range has.
(This named range is not a global name range, but a local one only for one worksheet!)
However, my code results in 0 always, althought the worksheet in question is defined (not nothing),
I see that the name range is defined properly (Edit -> Define) and refers to serval non-empty cells.
I would like to know how many cells in general a particular named worksheet range refers to. What do I do wrong?
Const strRngNmeCllShRawIntBlPre = "preBlRng" 'name of the named range
If Not wksTarget Is Nothing Then
intPreBl = Application.WorksheetFunction.Count(wksTarget.name & "!" & strRngNmeCllShRawIntBlPre)
MsgBox intPreBl
End If
Loop Through Cells Of Named Range
Feb 6, 2008I’m having some difficulty getting my code to work. On a worksheet there are pairs of columns containing data; the leftmost column’s range is named. I have a userform with several optionbuttons that are named with the corresponding range names. I can successfully populate the userform's combox with unique items from a named range that is selected with the optionbutton.
When user selects item with combobox, I want to parse that named range with the combobox value, selects the value in the corresponding row (to the right) and then populate the userform's listbox with that value. The nonworking code is given below:
Private Sub cbxFiltList_Change()
Dim fCntrl As Control
Dim TempRange As Range
Dim TestRange As Range
Dim cLoop As Range
Content_lbx.Clear
For Each fCntrl In UserForm1.Frame1.Controls
If TypeName(fCntrl) = "OptionButton" Then
'If the optionbutton = True then the make the range to be tested the same name as that of the optionbutton'..............
Populate Cells With Named Range Values

Populate Cells Using Dynamic Named Range VBA
Sep 25, 2011I have a sheet containing 2 lists of categories for income and expenses. These lists are named inc and exp, respectively, and are contained in a sheet called "Lists." They are dynamic ranges, meaning every time a value is added, the named range adjusts itself to include the new value(s). [=OFFSET(Lists!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Lists!$A:$A),1)]
I have 2 tables summarizing 12 months of data. The tables use sumif to find all occurrences of each category and sum them. There's 1 table for income, 1 for expenses. Each is a 2 column table, with all the categories for income in column A and their total for 12 months in column B. Same for Expenses in D & E.
To populate the categories in column A & D, I am currently using the simple =Lists!A1 =Lists!A2 (inc range), =Lists!B1 =Lists!B2 (exp range) and so on... the problem is when a value is added to either list, while the named range adjusts, I have to manually drag the formulas in Column A & B down 1 more cell to include the new value.
How can I use VBA to look for the inc and exp ranges (which will change in size), then populate each table with the most recent categories?
Address Single Cells In Named Range
Dec 22, 2006I'm having a 'mental block' day. I have a Named Ranges in a spreadsheet (Office XP). The range is defined as =OFFSET( ' Stock List'!$K$1,0,0, COUNTA('Stock List'!$F:$F),4)
i.e. starts at K1, is 4 cols wide and as deep as there are occupied cells in col F. (as I understand it). I want to treat this as an array in VBA and use 'x' and 'y' as indexes into the array. I want to either get the value from a single cell, or set the value in a single cell, which contain a string. I know its not correct but I have the formulae as follows, and for the life of me I cant figure out what the correct formula is -duhh!!
Dim x As Integer, y As Integer, z As String
x=3 'dummy test code
y=2
Range("MakerExtractArea").Offset(x, y).Value = "dummy"
z= Range("MakerExtractArea").Offset(1, 0).Value
Listbox Referring To Hidden Range
Apr 11, 2014I have this code for a texbox to search into a listbox
It's working properly but sometimes it doesn't look at all the names in the list.. probably because some of the rows are hidden?
Referring To Range() Using Shortcut Notation
Sep 23, 2008I have noticed in many of the Excel help files that the developers liked to use shortcut notation for Range reference in VBA.
For example, Range("A1:B10") would be [A1:B10].
I was doing a bit of testing with this, and was not able to make the shortcut notation work with a variable. Does the shortcut method have the capabilities to do the equivalent of Range("A1:B" & LR)?
If it does have that capability, is it just due to force of habit that we always use Range() to refer to ranges, or would there be a more in-depth reason.
Determining If Cell Is Part Of Named Range And What That Named Range Is?
Aug 16, 2014Let'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:

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.
Referring Cells
Jun 17, 2009I am trying to refer to a cell. Not sure if thats a good way to put it.
Example: I am in Cell B1 and I want to have a formula that says if C2 is 5 then A1 is 5, else B1 is 500.
I need A1 to be completely blank with the formula only in B1 and C2 has the number typed in it.
How can I put a number in A1 without having a formula or any text in that cell (A1)?
Creating Range With Visible Cells?
Mar 29, 2013I am trying to create a range with visible cells after filtering based on a criteria. But, facing some wierd problem with setting correct range with visible cells. Here is the code.
Code:
xlsDynRange = xlsWorksheet.Range("A1:G500")
xlsDynRange.AutoFilter(Field:=1, Criteria1:=intEmpid)
xlsFilteredRange = xlsDynRange.Range("A1:G500").SpecialCells(Excel.XLCellType.xlCellTypeVisible).Cells
Here, xlsFilteredRange.Cells.Count returns correct values. For example, for a particular filtered criteria, if there are 6 rows, it returns 42 (6 rows * 7 columns). However, xlsFilteredRange.Rows.Count always returns 1 (header row), though there are 6 rows. How can this be fixed?
Creating A List From A Range Of Cells?

what i was wondering is if there was a way to take a list of data (only look at the letters before the "-") and make a list of it..than i column "T" use a countif formula (i can do this part just forgot to include it)
so if "MCS-69257" was added to the list in cell "C8" than in "S6" it would say "MCS" and "T6" would say "1"

If Function Referring To Two Cells
Jun 29, 2007I have this formula:
=IF(C38="C"*F38>=0,"1","")
which is meant to return the number 1 in a cell if C38 has the letter C in it and F38 is equal or greater than 0. I have met both criteria and it returns an error of #VALUE! What am i doing wrong? NB in F38 there is a Vlookup formula that returns a number (in this case it is 0).
Dynamic Named Range - Select Only Cells With Numerical Values
Jul 21, 2006Is anyone aware of some way to use the " dynamic named range approach" to only select the cells with numerical values in a column and name this range?
I've looked at the examples on this site but can't find any solution to this particular problem although I have a feeling that this should be possible.
Indirect Formula Syntax For Referring To A Range On Two Worksheets
Jul 5, 2012B1=Name of WorkSheet
B2=Name of 2nd Worksheet
I am trying to write a sum formula using Indirect so that the end-user can enter the names of the sheets in B1 & B2 (the values are always in cell F5 on each sheet). I thought this would work but it is throwing a REF# error.
=SUM(INDIRECT("'"&B1&":"&B2&"'!F5"))
with some added spaces for clarity:
=SUM(INDIRECT(" ' " & B1 & " : " & B2 & " ' ! F5"))
Sumifs With Date Range Criteria By Referring To Ribbons
Apr 14, 2014I'm trying to create a sumifs that has 'before date X' and 'on or after date Y' as two of the criteria.
In the past, I have simple done a DATE(x,y,z) function inside the sumifs, but I'm trying to change this for reasons that would take a little while to get into. Let's just say it would make my coworkers lives much easier.
My hope is to get these date range criteria by referring to ribbons which have the dates in mind in them. Here is the formula I have now, and an example. See the red part of the formula.
Say I'm trying to have before Aug 1, 14 and on/after July 1, 14 as two criteria. FBP column A is where I would have the dates that this criteria would search through:
B1: 7/1/14
C1: 8/1/14
Formula: =SUMIFS(FBP!$G:$G,FBP!$B:$B,"=E",FBP!$A:$A,">="&B1,FBP!$A:$A,"
Formula Referring To Empty Cells
Dec 19, 2006I think I understand what you were talking about now with the generation of the watchbill using the rand() and sort. You were trying to get me to get rid of the whole system I was using before and use only the rand and sort. I thought you were asking me to incorperate the rand sort thing into the randomization process I already had using offset etc. The whole thing works good now, however, because the column Ive designated for the roster names may or may not always be filled the formula sometimes refers to empty cells in that column thus producing 0s on the watchbill. I was thinking maybe (if its possible) having a formula to identify a 0 and if so skip to the next cell down. The formula would repeat until it found a name without a zero in it.
