Determine Type Of Data Of Right Click Parameter

Aug 21, 2013

I need to make a fork in my code based on the type of data received from an input box launched from a right click and passed via the actioncontrol parameter.

The input box box is a range selector.

Dim seriesIdArray As Variant
seriesIdArray = Range(CommandBars.ActionControl.Parameter)

Generally, the user will have selected multiple cells as their range and I loop through using:

For j = 0 to ubound(seriesIdArray, 2)

However, if they only select one cell, I am getting back the value of that string in seriedIdArray, and that gives me a type mismatch error. I'll need to handle this a little differently, and I know how to do that part, I just don't know when I need to do this.

How can I tell whether they have selected one cell or multiple cells based on the value of the actioncontrol parameter?

I considered trapping the error type (13) and branching based on that, but then I end up with spaghetti code and I'm trying to avoid that.

I think I may need to create another more specific variable to take the action control parameter, test it, and then decide whether I should use an array or a range, but that's just a suspicion.

Determine Data Type Of Array Elements. Numeric Strings

Apr 7, 2008

I have an array of variants..

lvarArrSource = Array(12, "=F", 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, "123", "F", "F", "F", "F", 11, "F", "NR", "F")

which i am using to map columns between spreadsheets. The basic numeric entries refer to columns to copy. But I want to make the routine smarter with the strings.

If array(x) = 12 (For example) Then
Do something
End If
If left(array(x),1) = "=" Then
Do something Else
End If
If array(x) Is String literal (e.g "xyz" Or "123") Then
Do a third thing
End If

i cant find a typeof or isstring kind of function. Isnumeric works ok for some values but quoted numbers (eg "123") return true (which isnt what i want). I have tried the left(string,1) = """ but excel seems to hide the quotes.

To Use Solver To Determine An Input Parameter Of The BINOMDIST()

Apr 2, 2009

I'm trying to use Solver to determine an input parameter of the BINOMDIST() formula that provides the exact answer I want. It works for some inputs and outputs but not for all.

For example, I want 4 successes out of 7 trials to yield a 95% answer, meaning I need to itterate on the "P" input in the formula [=BINOMDIST(4,7,"P",TRUE) should result in .95]. Using solver it iterates successfully to .3413.

Now, change 4 to 6, and solver drives "P" to an answer that causes a #NUM result (P= 4.023), however I can manually input 0.6518 and I get the right answer.

I've tried adding constraints that won't let the input go outside the bounds of 0 and 1.0 but it does anyway.

Determine A Cell's Format And Type

Nov 9, 2008

How do I determine a cell's type (e.g., numeric or string or formula) and if numeric, the format (e.g., currency, general, scientific) including the number of decimal places.

Is there a function that returns the object's properties? Must I use isnumeric, isformula, and so on or is there one function that returns this information?

Setting Parameter For One Column And If True Then Check Line Above And Below For Another Parameter

Jul 31, 2013

I though I could do this with a nested IF statement but it is too cunfusing for me. What I am trying to accomplish is this:

Experiment
Is Steward
EU ID
Location
Data Quality
GE
Entry Order

[Code] ........

I want to have a screen pop-up asking me what my limit < would be for column "ESTCNT" so if I put in 25 or any other number that it would highlight all the rows that are less than 25, then look at the row above and below and if it matches the same number (that is in the cell "Range" of the highlighted column) in column "Range" then copy that row to a new sheet. Meaning all tha rows that match the "Range" would be in the same new sheet.

The rows might be different lengths and that there will not always be a number in cell "ESTCNT". Column headers will always be the same but might not be in the same column each time. And if it is not to hard once it is completed to find column "SPPLOT" in the new sheet created and asking what I want to autofil the column with.

Excel 2010 :: Click On Pivot Chart Data Point And Display Data

Apr 22, 2014

Pivot Chart. I would like to set up something to where a user can click on an individual value on a pivot chart (currently a line chart set up with 4 data series) and somehow display some underlying data. I have a lot of information stored in a data worksheet that I can't display all at once, but if a user sees a questionable data point, he/she can click and learn more about it from source data, or even a new query of the data worksheet.

I am using Excel 2010

Chart Type For Data Comparison

Oct 23, 2006

I am trying to figure out a way in excel to graph some data I have in a new, sophisticated type of chart. My data is new square foot sales divided by new square feet (for a retail store). It is a dollar amount. I also have this data as a percentage change year over year. If I want to compare two stores with different data -- what would be the best way to present it on a chart. Is there a way to show this on a 3-D plane so that both companies have the data in the same chart up against each other?

VBA / Match String Or Long Data Type

Nov 5, 2012

I'm trying to use application.match() but I'm running into a issue where I don't know if I'll be matching a string or long data type...

Here's the snippet of code:

Code:
' UNIT DATA
' Set Unit#
s1 = ActiveSheet.Pictures(Application.Caller).Name
iLen = Len(s1)
s1 = Mid(s1, 2, iLen - 2)
' Set Sel Ex Work Date
iCheck = Application.Match("MACHINE_NUMBER", Sheets("Allocation").Columns(1), 0)

[code]....

How can I get application.match to look for strings if s1 = "ABC123" or numbers if s1 = "123456"

I've tried dim variant and s1 + 0... But, haven't come up with a solution.

Data Type Of Items In Controls Collection?

Mar 2, 2008

I have a UserForm function which accepts as a string the name of a TextBox control on the form. The function returns a reference to the named TextBox control (or Nothing if the control does not exist). I have the function header defined this way:

Public Function TextBox(byval strName as String) as TextBox

The function returns a reference to the TextBox control like this:

set TextBox = Me.Controls.Item(strName)

(I know, the .Item is not required.)

The code which calls the above function first declares a TextBox object with this Dim statement:

Dim txtTextBox as TextBox

The routine then goes on to call the TextBox function like this:

set txtTextBox = TextBox(strTextBoxName)

When run, the above statement genrates a Type Mismatch error. I'm confused, because if I 'TypeName()' the TextBox function's returned value, it's "TextBox,".

I thought I could work around this problem by changing the TextBox function's return value's data type to Variant, but that produced the same result.

The only "solution" I've come up with is changing the TextBox function's return value's type (and any reference to the functions' return value) to Control.

I expected that the Controls object would behave similar to a Collection object in that it's items can be different types (TextBox, Label, CommandButton, ListBox, etc.) and no Type Mistmatch erros occur so long as the type of the item returned matches the type of the variable referencing that item. But is seems that Controls requires that any reference to one of its items must be type Control, not the actual type of the item returned.

I'd prefer not to use Control data rypes in my applcation, as that would require additional code in all of my subs and functions to ensure that any Control object passed to it is the correct type of control (TextBox, Label, etc.).

Can anyone explain what's going on here? Why shouldn't I be able to assign a TextBox type variable to Controls.Item("xyz"), so long as the item returned by Controls.Item("xyz") is type TextBox?

Extract Data By Type To Separate Workbooks

Mar 12, 2008

I have created a workbook for a co-worker. The way it works is data comes from an outside source with customer names in Column A and their Account Reps in Column H. This data is pasted into a template that I created with a very simple macro recording that filters on each Account Rep and is copied and pasted each into a different workbook. Then I had to go through each workbook (because of the info being sensitive) and create a macro that deletes the unwanted data because when the data is pasted it transfers all of the data and you can unfilter to see the full sheet.

I know there is a better way to extract data on each change in column H into a new workbook. Does anyone know how to do that? Another issue is the original data is not very clean so there are blank rows in the list. For Example:

CustomerTechnology SegmentOpportunity Dollars ($)Opportunity StatusAction Item(s)(ST) or (LT)Due dateAcct RepCustomer 1Action 1ST3/30/2008ACCustomer 2Technology 1Action 2LTTBDACCustomer 3Technology 2$10,000FindAction 3LTTBDACCustomer 4Technology 3FindAction 4LTTBDBHCustomer 5Technology 4FindAction 5LT1/31/2008BHCustomer 6$30,000Action 6LTTBDBHCustomer 7Action 7LTTBDMJCustomer 8Technology 5$10,000QualifiedAction 8ST3/1/2008MJCustomer 9Technology 6QualifiedAction 9ST2/28/2008CGCGCustomer 10Technology 7$18,000FindAction 10ST3/1/2008CGCustomer 11Technology 8$10,000QualifiedAction 11ST3/30/2008BHCustomer 12Technology 9FindAction 12LTTBDACCustomer 13FindAction 13LT3/15/2008AC

Data Type Of Coordinates Of 2-dimensional Array

Apr 29, 2007

I have a big array "DataArray" and want to access it:

For i = 1 To 4
variable = DataArray(SourceArray(i))
Next i

"DataArray" has two dimensions, so SourceArray has to consist of data like this:

SourceArray(1) = 1,2
sourceArray(2) = 2,4
etc

What data type does Sourcearray have to be? Integer doesnt seem to work, and DataArray doesnt like a string as coordinates. I have a workaround with two different arrays of integer for x and y coordinates, but this cannot be it.
