I am trying to develope a "goto" page macro where the page value maybe 1,34,7A, 256C etc. I am not clear on how an inputbox value can be compared to a string variable or a numeric variable at the same time. This is what I have done, but when the texboxvalue is "7A" it doesn't work.

How would I be able to assign a number portion of a variable string to another string variable. For example I have the following string:
AOSXLS_356-NewInfo
I just want the 356 assigned to a string variable.
only the first 7 characters won't change. The number part could be 2 or 4 digits, and the NewInfo portion could be anything.
Say you define a public range variable called Inputworksheet and you set it to refer to the worksheet called Inputworksheet. You have a separate string variable with the value Inputworksheet. How do you get this string variable value to call/control the range variable Inputworksheet?
I am getting an excel worksheet value from a lookup function that corresponds to the name of a VBA range variable. Once I have this worksheet value, I would like to use the range variable that has the same name as the worksheet value.
I'm fairly new to macro's and VBA, by searching on the internet i've copied and pasted some code together into a macro.
But it ends in a Run-time error 91...
The macro opens a target .xls file in a selected folder, performs copy - paste actions from masterfile to targetfile.
Than it filters data in the targetfile sheet1 and copy's the results to the various other sheets; saves and closes the targetfile.
The next target file in the folder is opened and the actions are repeated in this second target file.
For the first target file this works smoothly; but for the second one (of a total of around 100) it does not copy the filter results to the other sheets in this workbook.
The error message i get is: "Run-time error 91:Object variable or with block variable not set."
When i hit debug it highlights the line "ActiveSheet.Next.Select" which, at least in the first file, seems ok.
I am having a lot of trouble finding out why I am getting error. I believe the error is because it can't find the number. In cells C115:C314 i have the numbers 1 to 200 in order. when someone types in 1 to 9 in the text box it works, but on 10 and over i get the error ???? here is the code I have
shCalculator.Range("C115:C314").Select
Selection.Find(what:=CInt(txtPackageID), After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:= _
xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False _

Using the message box I see that sheet 1 opens but then I receive an error message Run Time Error 91, Object Variable or With Block Variable not set. I tried declaring and using set on "project" but got nowhere. I also need to have a message indicating project not found. Once this part is solved I will loop all of my other workbooks
I have two inputboxes. I want to set the default value of the second inputbox as (effectively) one cell down from the first inputbox entry. In other words, if I type G17 into the first inputbox, I want the second inputbox to then have a default value of G18.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that is designed to use an inputbox to ask for a number string that represents an entry on the current page, then go to that entry on the current page, and then select various info from that row and then use a portion of that string to move to another sheet which has the name equal to that portion of the string to perform more actions. My current problem is that when I try to set a variable based on a portion of the text input into the inputbox entry it gives me: runtime error 1004: method range of object _gloabal failed. And the line it errors on is the variable definition which is based on a portion of the inputbox entry.
Dim MyInput As String
Dim ChooseDate As String
Dim Hours As String
Dim SR As Integer
Dim ER As Integer
Dim SC As Integer
Dim EC As Integer
Dim RowVar As Integer
Dim ColVar As Integer
Dim found As Boolean
MyInput = InputBox(" Date-Time Number?")
If MyInput = vbNullString Then Exit Sub
ChooseDate = (Mid(Range(MyInput), 1, 4))
The "choosedate=" line is where it errors. It's suppose to take, as a string, the first four characters of the text input into the inputbox. Then it searches the current sheet for the entire entry, selects it, uses that row to collect more info and then moves to the sheet in the workbook that has the name equal to the first four digits of the inputbox text to do more actions. I'm sure it's a syntax error but my knowledge is at it's limits.
I have a workbook with a lot of sheets. The names of these sheets are numbers ranging from 000001 to 999999, and are listed in column A in the Sheet TOTAL. Moreover these numbers (and the appropriate sheets) built 9 groups out of which every group has its own individual Tab color, also used in the A column of the TOTAL Sheet to differentiate between these groups. Now I want the following code to get data from each of the sheet belonging to a certain group and paste it to one of the 9 extra sheets (SH1, SH2, SH3... SH9) basing on the color of the sheet. The specified rng range is in the Sheet TOTAL (the names of all of the sheets are stored there).

I have a column of about 13,000 10 digit numbers. I need to add four zero to the beginning of each row of numbers so I can make it 14 digit numbers. Is there a way to do this without cutting and pasting four zero's for each row of numbers.

I understand that a everything is already considered to be string, but how would I phrase this?
If txtBolow = (a statement which indicates the textbox is full) Then
txtBolow. SetFocus
txtBolow. SelStart = 0
txtBolow. selLenght = Len(txtBolow)
If txLowl = ("") Then
txtLowl. SetFocus
txtLowl. SelStart = 0
txtLowl. selLenght = Len(txtBolow)
What would I use to indicate that the user has completed the data in the textboxes, and the old data is highlighted to make way for the new?

I have a string in a cell, "MEAS/SPHERE,F(QUA_1),5", the characters I need start at the "(" and end at the closing ")", ref: (QUA_1). The start and end will always be the same, the length of characters and the spelling of characters be anything. Thus, QUA_1 can be CAL_1, CAL_2, SOMEOTHERTEXT_1 or 187bgo_199, etc, always enclosed in "( )". I wish to place the characters and the closing "( )" into a variable as a string.

This one has two sets of quotes, with the information from the noted post I can retrieve the string "S5a09b-90", now that I have a double set of brackets "( )" how do I get the value for the second set of brackets, "CAL_15"?
In the quoted string, CALIB/SENS,S, is constant. The first set of brackets are constant (string length is not), the second set of brackets are constant (string length is not).

if it is possible, to use a string variable in a Formula via VBA.
For example: ActiveCell.Formula = "=SUM(Sheet3!strVariable)"
Of course the code is not working that way. The Variable has the following structer: CellAdress;CellAdress;CellAdress... so it would perfectly fit into the formula-syntax.
Is there any possible way to do that? The reason behind it is, that I have to deal with a flexible range and I want to process this range with a formula. Actually the range is flexible, because of different filters and I only wanna count all numbers in the unhidden rows.
My varibale would then contain all celladresses, for the visible cells.
So in a nutshell: is it possible to somehow use a varible in a formula?
I have a string variable contacting a file.

the above results in an error because there is no such sheet as "mortgageSchedName", but I want it to access the value of that string variable.
i just wanna extract the date shown(last data until meet the first comma) in first column to another column.

The values ELDU238 - ELDU247 are values in a column beginning at A2. I want to create
"ELDU238", "ELDU239", "ELDU240", "ELDU241", "ELDU242", "ELDU243", "ELDU244", "ELDU245", "ELDU246", "ELDU247"
in a string variable strArray which will enumerate whatever values are in column A beginning at A2 and create the above. I can then have
Code:
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$AF$" & lngRows).AutoFilter Field:=x, Criteria1:=Array(strArray), Operator:=xlFilterValues
Hence if the number of entries changes e.g. say I have
"ELDU238", "ELDU239", "ELDU240", "ELDU241", "ELDU242", "ELDU243", "ELDU244", "ELDU245", "ELDU246", "ELDU247", "ELDU248"
the code will still work.
I'm taking some university classes and one of them is called Applications Programming and we have been using excel VBA. I have a project that I'm working on, and it's very basic. Basically we need to create a userform that has 3 option buttons, 4 check boxes, a couple labels and a couple text boxes. It's suppose to be a ice cream selection terminal. Option boxes for basic flavors of ice cream, check boxes for toppings, one text box for user input of number of scoops of ice cream and the last text box to output a reciept/overview of purchase.
So here's the question... I was wondering if there's a way to change the font of a single string variable, or change the font of a word within a string. My output to the saleBox(My receipt overview) is this:
saleBox.Text = ("Thanks you for your Purchase") & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"You ordered " & numOfScoop & " scoops of " & flavorChoice & "ice cream" & vbCrLf & _ "Topped with: " & toppings & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & total
(not sure how the code is gonna look in the message but I'm sure you get the idea)
i want to be able to change the font for the flavorChoice or toppings variables. They are both strings.
Anyways, I know I can get away with basically what I have there and get full marks, but I like going above what the basics are. If it's kinda complicated.
I'm gonna attach a screenshot, more info is better than not enough right... nevermind its askin for a url!
*** I just now got the idea of putting another textbox over the area that would output the text I want to change and hide the border or something and then change the font of that text box through the properties ***

I'm having trouble setting the Range "UtilizationRange" using a variable, "CurrentRange" to store that range. I get the error "Run-Time error 1004: Method 'Range' of object'_Global' failed".The rest of my code works when I set the utilization range using the actual range for my purposes, but the problem is the range will change each month and I don't want to change it manually each time. There's a cell in the excel sheet this refers to (AG3) that holds the range value, which in this case is [N7:N75], and I would just like to return that value to the variable "CurrentRange" and set UtilizationRange equal to that.
The value is returned to CurrentRange, but it's the last line that's giving me the problem.
