Today's question concerns one sub calling another, having the called sub do some stuff that then effects what the calling sub does.
Essentially
Code:
public sub sub1
dim x as integer
dim countCall as boolean
x = activesheet.cells(1,1).value
countCall = False
call sub2(x, countCall)
[code]....
Obviously the above is a very simplified version of what I'm trying to do, since everything there could of course be handled in a single sub. It is for illustration purposes only. My actual main sub needs to call the secondary sub repeatedly in some stacked loops and its in-feasible to but the second sub's code into the main thread.
The problem remains though, I know how to call a sub and pass variables to it, i just have no inkling on how to pass results back to the calling sub. I've tried a few things I've found around the web but I seem to be missing something important.
I have a userform with a button that wil run macro "sub1". If "sub1" encounters an error on a worksheet it wil show a custom error messagebox(a userform) that contains the option "Don't ask me again". If true it sets a global variable. Do I need to use global variables to pass to the original procedure "sub1" for the ok/cancel buttons too or is there an other method?
I am having trouble defining a variable in a For loop. When I run the loop the first time everything seems to work fine, but when the loop goes back through the second time it carries its previous value with it. Here in lies the problem if the variable is supposed to be empty (not assigned a value). So, for example: 'Variable' in the code below may or may not be given a value depending on the conditions in the For i loop. If it is given a value then 'Variable' will still have that value on the next pass through the For j loop. And if none of the conditions are met for the If statement in the For i loop the second time through the For j loop, it should be an empty variable, but instead the code is reading it as having a value (from the previous pass through the For j loop).
[Code] .....
I have tried using:
[Code] .....
After the For j line, and instead of using:
[Code] ....
I tried using:
[Code] ....
and I've tried:
[Code] .....
I get an Object error with either line I use. I just want to be able to reset the variables each time through the For j loop so in the case of an empty variable, it doesn't try to calculate based on the previous value.
I am trying to pass a public variable to another module in the same workbook. On Module1 I declare at the top
Public stores Sub Main() Dim stores(1 To 100, 1 To 10, 1 To 10)
Reader
...which then calls the procedure Reader in Module2
Sub Reader() let x=1 let y=1 let z=1 let stores (x,y,z)=activecell.value
I've left out the portions of code that seem irrelevant. When the macro runs, I get a type mismatch error on the "let stores" line. If I move the code from Reader into the procedure Main, it works, so it seems to be an issue with passing the variable. I haven't used multiple modules very often so this is probably a very basic issue.
I am looking at using forms, as in the Userform... Not used them before, but would like to know, if you create a text box on it, is the value global, so any module can use the var? or how can I, so that value entered can be used on the whole book ?
Here in the code wbResults is a Workbook present in my present folder. In the Sheet1 and Column "I", the result of test cases is entered. The Result of the TEST CASES can be PASS or FAIL. So i am trying to get the total number of PASS test cases and Total FAILED test cases. BUT with the code i have written, i am not able to fetch the right data. Is the method of comparing wrong? or what else? i have tried to debug but nothing comes out.
Do While Not i = 1008 If (wbResults.Worksheets("Sheet1"). Cells(i, 8) = "PASS") Then PASS = PASS + 1 End If i = i +1 Loop
I have a worksheet which I've set to read-only, I am trying to get it to pull in information from external worksheets. I've created a Macro that will automatically bring in the data however it will only go into a pre-defined cell/row. I have another Macro which looks up the next available row (which is where I want the data to go) but can't get it to link into the macro's. In short, Macro1 brings in data, Macro2 finds next available row, Macro3 brings in another worksheet, Macro4 finds next available row etc etc.
When working in an userform, and you call another sub routine within the userform, will all variables passed automatically be byref (no way to do byval?)?
how to return a value based on two variables. I was trying with hlookup and offset but excel kept ignoring my thoughts.
Here is a sample of how the data looks like and what I want to do:
excel.jpg
Depending on the ID which is entered in G2, cell H9 has to get the value from D4.
I know that ID is gonna have to be extracted with find function from column A. So every time an ID is entered (in cell G2) it would need to look for it in column A and then return the value VACLEG from column D.
The 4th column is the specific result for those 3 variables.
I need a formula/s that will give me the correct 4th column # based on the previous 3 columns what would be input using dropdown lists I believe.
So for instance the final end result would be an HTML web page with 3 drop down boxes representing the first 3 columns and then based on what is selected in those 3 dropdowns the correct 4th column # would be shown.
I am attaching a sheet wherein I have tried to match two variables and to return the appropriate value. But I find the formula returns the value which one cell below the correct answer.
I've tried this in formulas (if, if/and, if/vlookup, if/vlookup/and) and I've been trying to write a macro for this (which I'm thinking needs to loop).
Problem: I have a report that is broken into three categories.
Column A includes locations, Column B includes vendors. Across the top, the monthly report is broken into four classifications (trans types), which are then further subdivided by quantity and cost. (Rough estimation is provided below)
Locations Vendor Z53
Z50
Z51
Z52
[code]....
My data comes in sorted by location, and subtotaled by vendor and trans type. So I'll have a row of data that includes:
What I need to do is pull the data for Z53 based on Location & Vendor. So from the data is would read Location 1 & Vendor A and then find them on the report and paste into the appropriate row (in my report Z53 qty is col E and $ is col F).
I was trying to do a macro that within a determined range (finding the first and last instance of Z53) would match location and vendor to the monthly report and paste the values of Qty and $ into the appropriate fields. Below is what I managed to mangle:
Code: Dim Holder1 As Range Dim Holder2 As Range Dim Holder3 As Range Dim Holder4 As Range Dim Found As Range Dim y As Range Dim x As Range Dim Z0 As Range
[code]......
I was originally trying to match from the report to the data and then copy back to the report, but I had the idea of instead taking the location and vendor from the data and finding the match on the report and pasting. That way I wouldn't have to worry about errors (unless a new location was added that was not included on the report - which I think is an easier fix than trying to go the other way, but maybe not).
I have a need to populate a summary worksheet using two variables to find data in two or more other worksheets.
I find writing out what I want helps some times so let me try it here.
So my variables are:
Product (there are 22 products) Supply Less than (inset number)
These are the two criteria I want to use to produce a result.
The next issue is I have 300 stores that carry said 22 products. Each store has a unique number 0001, 0002, 0003 etc. So in a separate worksheet I have a list of the store numbers, and then the products. So each product has the store's number to the left in Column A, Column B has the product name, Column C has the quantity on hand.
What i would like to do on the summary page is select the product, and then select the supply less than or equal to 'x' and then have the stores with the selected product less than or equal to x display below.
The last part of this is then to display (data from an other sheet) on the summary page which contains the quantity of the product selected available at the warehouse for that store.
Can a Function give two or more output variables. e.g.
Sub a() x = 5 result = Y(x) End Sub
Function Y (x As Integer) As Integer Dim B B = ... * x Y = ... * B
this will give back Y as a result. But if I want to get 2 or more output variables (let's say I need to get also B into sub) from one function, how should I do that? I need this because function works with large matrix and I want to extract some values appeared in between.
I'm trying to loop through a range in excel from access, checking where the titles (in Excel row 1) match with the fields (in a recordset in Access that is passed to the function) - and where they do, I want to dimension a variable to hold the column number - I'm not sure it's possible, but I'd be interested to know either way. The line I'm asking about is at the bottom of the code - the rest of the code is just to give context...

The second subroutine below selects a range of cells, in this case a column. It selects a range that ends with the last cell that has data and starts with either the first cell that has data or the second cell has data (needed for instance if the first cell is just the heading and doesn't contain data). You'll notice I have hardcoded the "includeFirst" option right now. I don't know how to pass this as an argument when calling this subroutine.
In the first subroutine updateAll() I need to call the second subroutine and want to pass an argument to it. Maybe my approach using subs and application.run is the wrong way to do this?
Sub updateAll() includeHeader = False Application.Run "SelectColumn" ' need something like: ' Application.Run "SelectColumn(includeHeader)" ' where subroutine below has something like: ' Sub SelectColumn(includeFirst) End Sub

How can I pass data from a specific cell in one workbook to another worksheet using a hypertext link or command button. For example How would I be able to pass the following data from Workbook 1 R1C1 - Test Data to the same cell in Workbook 2.
I have tried to pass the worksheets to another workbook by copying the sheets and passing it to the other workbook with Excel's own tool. Whenever I try this I get an error with the API XML request.
I am calling a sub that I want to do a SaveCopyAs using a variable as the file name but can't get it to work. The file name displays properly in a message box but when I do a SaveCopyAs it does nothing.
I am attempting to call a Function from a cell and pass it a range and an Integer. The Integer works fine, but I cannot get the Range to pass into the function correctly.
I have code in a userform that shows another userform with a text box. When the user types text there and presses OK, I want that userform to close (which it does fine), and return back to the original userform (which it does fine), but I want the typed text to be stored in a variable that the code in the original userform can use.
I tried declaring a public variable, "Rresponse1", in each userform's procedure, but that doesn't work. I test for the content of the variable afterward in the original userform and it is empty.
In the original userform I have:
SaveList.Show '(this is the second userform) MsgBox "This is response1: " & Response1 '(to test if the variable is being passed)
In the userform SaveList, in the Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() procedure, I have:
Response1 = SaveList.ListName.Text Application.ScreenUpdating = True MsgBox Response1 '(to test the variable, here it shows the text fine) Unload SaveList
How do I get the Response1 variable to keep its content when control is passed back to the original userform?
I am trying to pass a string to a function requiring a ParamArray. See below
Code: Declare Function LibFunc1 Lib "FuncAddin" (ByVal vtSheetName, ParamArray Mylist() As Variant) As Long Sub testsub() Year = 2013 Period = December MyStr = "Year#" & MyYear & """", "Period#" & MyPeriod & """"
LibFunc1("Sheet1", MyStr) 'how to declare string so it can be passed as ParaArray?
I have one worksheet with a macro which calls a macro in another worksheet. I would like to pass a variable from the first worksheet to the second worksheet.
Worksheet1 macro includes the following line of code to call Macro3 in worksheet2: Application.Run "'Worksheet2'!Macro3"
Worksheet2 has the following code in Macro3: Do While response 1 And response 2 response = InputBox("Would you like to print your report on one page or two pages?", "Select number of pages", 1)
[rest of code]
I would like to be able to pass a value of '1' to Macro3 and bypass the message box when Macro3 is called from Worksheet1. However, if the user has Worksheet2 open, macro3 should display the message box.
Is it possible to write a VBA macro that passes keystrokes to another program? I have a spreadsheet with over 650 UPC codes for new products that have to be entered into our inventory system. I have downloaded and tried a few macro recorders that record keystrokes and mouse movements, but find them to be unreliable at best.
When I use the macro recorder to automate a task in Excel, (such as moving data from one sheet to another or importing data from a text file) I always go in after I'm done recording and add additional code to bullet-proof the macro (make sure the focus is set properly, etc.). I need to have this kind of control for this task and a macro recorder doesn't give me that (at least not these lower-end shareware programs I have been trying). I know that there are some higher-end macro recorders that include scripting that you can write and edit, but this our "slow" season business-wise and my supervisor has made it clear that he doesn't want to spend any money right now.
My task is simple (just very repetitive, which is why I don't want to spend all day sitting in front of my PC doing this): 1. Open Excel spreadsheet, go to starting data cell 2. Open 3rd party application and go to the appropriate data entry screen 3. Write a macro that does the following: - checks to make sure the sheet is the active sheet - copies contents of the active cell - moves focus to other app and pastes data from active cell - moves focus back to spreadsheet, copies the contents of the cell to the right (using ActiveCell.Offset?) - makes other app active and pastes data - repeat copy/paste for the next cell to right (in spreadsheet) - press twice to save record before returning focus to the spreadsheet - move cursor down one line, repeat entire process until active cell is blank
Is this possible to do? The third party program is not able to listed as a reference in VBA, but I didn't know if it was possible to at least pass keystrokes to it. It is actually a terminal emulator (Anzio Lite). I guess the full-blown version of the program has some scripting capabilities (from the documentation I've read), but the Lite version does not.
