Plug In A Variable Rather Than Read It From The Data Sheet
Jan 25, 2007
I am trying to limit the amount of stuff I write to a sheet, and I figured I can just pass variables around inside of a routine with out having to write each step to a sheet like I am doing now.
Below is the formula showing Z2 as where parsed data is
and here it is, with me trying to plug in a variable rather than read it from the data sheet. The variables for ease are read from the data sheet. In this example I would read in Z1 and assign it "CVersion", then the formula then takes CVersion (a 4 digit number) and makes it a 5 digit number..
I have two spreadsheets. One is a listing of football scores from the previous week. The other is the schedule for that week. I would like to be able to populate one from the other.
Even if someone could point me in the direction of which functions to use that would be helpful.
Based on the data in the results spreadsheet in columns M, N and P ... I need to look in the scores spreadsheet and compare to columns A, F, H and I. I would need to retrieve columns G and J for their scores.
I've been looking at SEARCH, LEFT AND VLOOKUP so far!
I am trying to create a sheet for invoicing. I have a sheet I want to use as a database. I want to search the database from the "invoice" sheet and fill the fields once i have found what I am looking for.
attached is a sample database I will use. I dont want to use the whole row, only selected colums. for example short_item description, item_number, Brand, SRP, ect. I want to search on the "invoice" sheet, for example, item description,and fill out the rest of the necessary fields in that row with data from my "database".
I have created a registration workbook for this year's youth sports league. All of the information is entered into a User Form and separated onto it's appropriate sheet designated by the child's age. Next year, I would like to use this year's workbook to look up returning players.
Will it be possible to add a "lookup" button into my form, or create a lookup program, that once the registrar clicks on the correct player, the information is plugged into the User Form, the registrar adjusts the age and any necessary info, presses enter, and the information is copied into the appropriate category in the new workbook? I haven't worked with User Forms long enough to know if they can be filled in that way, but if this can be done, you are the people who would know.
I'm running an Excel program such that the user inputs a variable. The program opens an Access database which is linked to the Excel sheet where the variable is stored. Access then runs macros containing queries based on that variable. I've noticed that the link to Excel is slowing performance and I'd like to speed things up, some code that would allow me to plug the variable into Access for use in the query without having to link to the Excel workbook.
This is a piece of the code I use in Excel which runs the Access macro:
Code: For iter = 1 To bottom_row - 1 If IsEmpty(MyMacro(iter)) = False Then Set AccessApp = CreateObject("Access.Application") With AccessApp
[Code].....
Everything works well as-is; it's just slower than I'd like. Due to other constraints I'd rather not go into here, I really am forced to use this kind of Excel/Access interaction. In other words, the user must use Excel to run an Access query.
Not sure what i'm doing wrong but I have this bit of code to get an average of a set of data. then i'm planning to paste that avearage into another sheet. however I cant seem to get the variable to work. without the variable it works:
I have some problem with the extraction, I would like to extract the data to another sheet based on variable conditions but I can not do it. My code in just case working if the all conditions are specified. The target is that if want the code could extract the data based on one condition even, or two or three or more.
Is/how possible to read entire ss into a variant "off-scree" without showing the user? I can open the file, I just dont know how to not show the file, select the entire sheet and read the values. I have seen the below but dont know how modify it as needed. Also is there a way to do this dynamically with variable length rows/columns?
Dim vaData As Variant Dim lRow Long Dim lCol As Long vaData=ActiveSheet. Range("A1:B10").Value

I have come across another stumbling block with VBA (new on VBA and slowly taking baby steps). I have a macro that reads and deletes all duplicates on the files i work on. However I need this to read and do the job on 2 sheets at the sametime (sheet 2 and sheet 3). Below is the macro which does work fine on a different workbook. How would I integrate this into my new sheet to do 2 jobs at once?
VB: Sub delduprows() Dim m As Integer, j As Integer Dim n As Long, i As Long
I have two sheets, the first is "Form" & the second is "Tracking". The "Form" sheet contains one button that, when clicked, brings up a userform. The userform has 11 checkboxes & two buttons ("View Next" & "View Previous"). The "Tracking" sheet has 11 columns (A - K), which will contain either "True" or "False".
I need the checkboxes in the userform to pull the values from the "Tracking" sheet. For example, the "Tracking" sheet has the following information listed: ....
I'm working with a workbook that has about 75 sheets. I need a macro that will copy the info in a certain couple of ranges from one sheet to the same ranges in another. This would not be a problem if it was always the same two sheets. But I need the user to be able to specify which sheet he wants to copy from and which sheet he wants to copy to.
The ranges on the sheets will always remain the same, just the sheet name needs to change. I created drop down boxes for the user to choose the copy from and copy to sheets, but I don't know how to insert that into the VBA code. The way I've designed it, the macro needs to read the result from the user that is on sheet "Index" in cell H5 to copy from and N5 to copy to. The result in those cells is the actual sheet name.
I'm trying to open a file on a network drive...but I'm getting the following error message when it opens: "This file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding." Now, the file itself has no rights restrictions and is not read only. It doesn't appear to be locked.
Now, there are other Excel files in the same directory which I could open fine; however, the Excel documents having the above problem all have a little black icon "appears to be a padlock" (image attached) at the bottom left hand side of the Excel file icon. I tried the following:
- Renaming - Converting to a different file format (didn't work, it won't let me) - Opening in notepad...etc doesn't work.
This file is dated back in 2004...do you think it's corrupt? Is there anything i can do to open or recover this?
how to read entire table from the webpage/URL. But does anyone know if I want to read only one particular number from a specific location on a web page.
I'm trying to total data only up to the current period so I presume the answer lies in a =sum and index but I can't get it to work. The attached worksheet explains it better.
I have written a VBA to read data from a text file (almost 5 MB = 2 lakh rows) and write into excel file. The script runs fine and transfers all data to the excel.But when i open the resulting excel file, only the first 2 and the last worksheets are visible. The worksheets in between and the data in it are missing. Second issue is tht, although i have written code to create a new worksheet when row number reaches 65535, the script writes only till row no. 32768.
I have setup a userform to record fuel issued to vehicles. I have a text box which I would like to use to display the last meter reading from my fuel pump. This data is stored in the last cell in column F of "Sheet1" workbook. Is it possible to read this data into my userform so when it starts it displays the last pump reading?
I have one excel workbook which has 10 rows of data. I need to access another excel wb which has 10 rows of data and get the variance. The key here is wb 1 has the data as I manual gather it and it changes very often. WB 2 also changes to equal the number of rows in Wb 1.
A> I would like to call Wb 2 from Wb 1 and copy those 10 B> It should be able to handle change in the number of rows in WB 2 C> It should be able to call workbook 2 irrespective i name it differently.
I am trying to create a macro so that when i save an entry the form sheet looks in the tavela master sheet to see if there is a match on the record number (in the A column) and saves there as an update if it matches and then if there is no match, saves it in the last empty row. this is a column to row copy so it has to be paste special to transpose. also i have a password on the sheet which i use to unprotect then reprotect. i have successfully done these two things separately but cannot combine them! i know not very much about visual basic code just what i have read here and so i am trying to make this code work.
I have created some pivotcharts in Excel 2007, but I have a serious problem with them The labels (usernames actually) in the data table are impossible to read (pls see attachment) If I make the letters smaller it is unreadable, if I make them larger it is still the same. how I can make the data table "resized"?
Does Excel can be used to read data from HDF files? Specifically, what I would like to do is this: I have an Excel worksheet with some latitude data on Column A and longitude data on Column B. I would like to open a HDF file, which contains many sets of data, out of which 2 are the latitude/longitude data, and a third set contains the data that I want to extract. I will use the latitude data in Column A to search through the first set in the HDF, which will return me the row number. I will then use the longitude data in Column B to search through the second set to return the column number. With these row and column numbers, I will then extract the corresponding data in the third set, and write it to Column C in the worksheet.
how to write a simple VBA code for it? Or point me to some relevant information?
I am trying to rank a series of data. I have most of this figured out. However, the data that is being ranked is based on a sum of a range of cells. I have lines that are waiting for new information to be put in related to the values to be ranked and the value is reference a sum of blank cells currently since there is no data there and it is showing up as zero and therefore being ranked number 1 in my list. I basically want the ranking to rank the values 1-11 while putting all values that are zero to be put at the bottom of the ranking. Any way to do this without macros. I have been using the VLOOKUP and RANK functions for my ranking purposes.
I have tried using an if statement that made the cells #N/A if they were zero, however they remained at the top of my ranking.
I am trying to determine a way to quickly import data from text files into Excel and place data in suitable columns (under correct headings). I am thinking I could be asked which file to read and import doing them 1 by 1, or if there is an automated way to cycle through all the files that would be more efficient (filenames are variable).
From the text files I have attached I can tell the column headers and what data should go under each. Not sure how you would describe the delimiting on these files? Are these files in a format that VBA could be used to reduce manual copy and paste approach? I have about 300 of these files I want to extract the data from.
Note: the attached files are from a public access website.
I want to use " sheet name" as Vaiable keeping format the same. For Example in the following example :if I type Sheet2 in cell A1 I should be able to change this range " sum(Sheet1!b3:b5" to "Sheet2!b3:b5"
