Aug 11, 2008I'm trying to reference a location on a spreadsheet in a macro by using the values in two cells (the idea is to then paste to this location):
D2 is 17 (the row)
B4 is 2 (the column)
therefore the location is B17 (R17C2), but can I get this to work...? The values in these cells can change depending on selections made which is why I want to use the cell references rather than the absolute!
Relative Cell Reference In Macro
May 8, 2009I have recorded macros in the attached file to highlight cells that contain matching initials by using conditional formatting on the first cell and copying it to the remaining cells. The problem is that if rows are inserted above that change the first cell reference then the macro no longer works properly. Is there a way to use a relative cell reference within the macro? The macro buttons are in cells A4 to A13. I have no VB experience and created the macros by recording keystrokes and using tips found in this forum.

Variable Cell Relation / Reference In Macro
May 29, 2012I am building an Excel sheet for my company which keeps track of who has done what with a new client in a step by step process. I have it set up so that once a department clicks complete in a box it automatically emails (VIA a macro) the next person who needs to do the next task. Some tasks are done by the same person no matter what, other tasks are done by a project leader which is different depending on the client.
The problem I'm having is that, within the macro, I need to reference an email address in a cell X cells to the left in the ".TO" line.
So, in Column A I have the CLIENT, Column B The PROJECT LEADER, and Column C The PROJECT LEADERS EMAIL. Then the next 22 Columns are labeled steps with drop down boxes, once the have selected "COMPLETED" it triggers the macro and send the email, just not on the ones when it needs to email the PROJECT LEADER, since it's a variable. Below is the macro, how I can have the ".TO" line in the email reference the email address in Column C to the left of it?

Macro: Convert Cell Value Without Being A Circular Reference
Jan 11, 2007if this is possible without becoming a circular reference.
Aim: to have a Macro that takes user selected cell and converts it the result and place it back in the same cell.
Example: could have a typed value in A10 say 500, and when the cell i selected and the Macro is run is converts the value by B10 (.5) and places the value back into A10. ie A10= A10*B10 (250)
I know this is a circular reference but could the macro say take the Value A10 and hold it in a temporary string of some sort before calculating and then returning the new value in there?
Reference Cell For Worksheet Name Macro Code
Apr 11, 2008I've got 3 sheets, A, B, and C. In sheet C, I have a cell named "element". That cell can have either the letter A or the letter B in it. In my VB code, I want to reference the sheet which correlates with the "element" cell. So,
Worksheets("element").Select
when the user clicks my "go" button, it calls this logic, and I want the worksheet that correleates to the letter in the cell in worksheet C - to open.
The reason for my posting - this is not working, and may not even be possible. Perhaps someone has experience in this and knows how to do it - or knows a different way to do this.
Fixing Cell Reference In A Formula During Macro VBA Script
Apr 27, 2014I have a template workbook and a macro that finds lines of data in a source workbook and copies parts of it to the template workbook. It then deletes left-over blank rows, leaving a summary section just below the last row. There is a formula in column C of the summary section that gets messed up slightly by the deleted rows, specifically a cell reference within the formula that refers to data on another sheet within the same workbook.
On the template the original formula is in cell C1667 of a sheet entitled "2014" and reads...
[Code] .....
After the macro is run, lets say that for argument sake, we end up with 13 rows of data that got copied across to the template, the data exists in rows 3-13 and excess rows have been deleted. The above formula now sits in cell C16, and reads....
[Code] .....
The last cell reference in the formula has not updated itself to row 13, I believe because it refers to another sheet.
I would like to add in a line of code at the end that will find which row the formula sits at in column C after excess rows have been deleted, and correct it, so that for this example, it would end up being this....
[Code] .....
The formula will always be in columns C but what row it ends up on will vary.
Macro To Reference Cell But Still Allow Manual Input Override?

Reference Cell On Non Activate Sheet Macro Code
Jun 10, 2008I have a UDF in Cell Sheet1!A1 that inputs some ranges from Sheet1 and calculates a number. Then I have a sub that calculates the value of this function with Evaluate(Sheet1!A1.formula). However, this only works when I am in Sheet1. Otherwise, I get the wrong calculation. How can I avoid this? I will post the code in the open source forum as it otherwise is quite good and automatically resizes array functions to their proper size.

Apr 4, 2014I need to open a customer-submitted workbook which has a list of items in column B, marked by an 'X' in column A on selected rows. Each customer's list is tailored to them with, say, 25 rows each.
I have a master list with identical formatting but which has the data from ALL lists combined.
I want to insert an 'X' in column A of my master workbook for any matching items for which there is an 'X' in column A of the customer's workbook.
I could do this with a formula in column A of my master list, but each customer's workbook has a unique filename and I don't know how to make the formula use a changing lookup array, so I figured this is something that I have to accomplish with VBA.
Add Vlookup, With Variables, To Cell To Reference Another Workbook Via Macro Code
May 21, 2008I am trying to use VB to vlookup between to workbooks
1. Make active workbook WBK1
2. Make workbook being open WBK2
3. Copy and Paste between WBK1 and WBK2
4. Have a vlookup in WBK1 and bring in the values from WBK2
5. Close WKB2
6. Copy, Paste, and transpose values in wkb1 within wkb1
The script works fine until it reaches the vlookup step. I have used the vlookup by itself without the copy and paste code successfully but when I combine the two it provides me with the error 9. Subscript out of range.
Macro To Change Linked Picture (Camera) Cell Reference
Jun 20, 2008I am a complete newbie with the camera tool. Is there any way to make the camera tool dynamic so that the cells the tool is referencing can change upon the click of a button or some other form of switch? I am creating my first dashboard and this is the last step for my report to be completely dynamic.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Never mind, I apologize i just figured this one out...
Create a user defined formulaIn the UDF Create an if statementThe if statement's condition is the logistics in the shift mechanismThe value if true is the first group of cells you want in the snap shotThe value if false is the second group of cells you want in the snap shot, The range you want to toggle betweenRename the cell reference of any snap shot you have taken with the UDF name. In my example my UDF is "Dude" so when you select the camera tool it shows =Dude as the cell referenceReference a scroll bar to the conditional cell you selected in the if statement or choose statement. This is the shift mechanism
If you want to toggle between more than 2 sets of data use =Choose instead of =if
Macro Used Textbox In Worksheet Rather Than Cell Reference As Criteria To Find Matches
Sep 26, 2013This is a continuation of thread 182629 [URL] ....
The End User wanted originally to type characters into cell C1 of a worksheet that the macro searched for in another worksheet, copying across every row containing the input.
The responses gave me the following code which worked perfectly:
VB:
With Sheets("PICKLIST")
myFind = "*" & .[c1].Value & "*"
End With
If myFind = "*" & "" & "*" Then Exit Sub
Unfortunately, the user NOW wants a Text Box instead of putting the characters into a cell.
I added a textbox (originally called 'TextBox2' but renamed "Choice") and "Dimed" CHOICE As Range.
Then tried the following code:
VB:
With Sheets("PICKLIST")
myFind = "*" & CHOICE & "*"
End With
But it generates a "RunTime Error 91" - Object variable or With block variable not set.
Change Formula Cell Reference Based On Another Cell Reference
Jan 8, 2012How do I change a formula cell reference based on another cell's reference? I'm building a schedule that looks to a task's trigger and adds days based on that relationship. All entries in column "A" will be text and all cells in "B" will be the simple formula "=A2" or "=A3". Due date is calculated by adding the value in "C" to the preceding date in column "D". In the spreadsheet below, the trigger for "Budget set" is "Specs written" with 3 days added to the previous due date.
________A________________B_____________C_________D
1 Task___________Trigger_____________Days_____Due Date
2 Design begins__Proj OK______________10____10-Jan
3 Specs written__Design begins (A2)____5____15-Jan (D2+C3)
4 Budget set_____Specs written (A3)____3____18-Jan (D3+C4)
If the trigger for A4, "Budget set", changed from A3 to A2, is there a way that the formula that determines the due date in D4 could read the trigger cell reference in B4 so that the value in the corresponding row in column "C" is added in the date column?

EXAMPLE:
12 months of data exist in cells B3:M3 going from B3(oldest) to M3(newest). Formulas reference latest 6 months of data in cells H3:M3. When a new month hits, I insert a column after column M.I would like the formulas to now reference cells I3:N3 which is now the newest 6 months.
Convert Cell Reference To Worksheet Reference
Jul 20, 2014I have a workbook with 1000+ worksheets, all of which have 3-letter names. On a master sheet, I would like to make a query of how many non-empty cells there are on a subsidiary worksheet. This works:
Code:
=COUNTA(ABC!A:A)
What I'd like to do from time to time is input in column A a varying set of 3-letter worksheet names, say
AAB
ABC
CDE
And have a formula in column B that converts this to
=COUNTA(AAB!A:A)
=COUNTA(ABC!A:A)
=COUNTA(CDE!A:A)
I've learned that simply substituting the cell references A1, A2, A3 for AAB, ABC and CDE doesn't work. What do I need to do to achieve this?
Reference To Cell Column Letter By Reference To Another Cell Value
Apr 25, 2014Let's say I've ended up with the number 8 in Cell D4 for example. Is there a formula that can return the letter "G" (The 8th Column) so I can use it in future cell references ? If so, let's say we store that in Cell B5. How do I now refer to a cell in a chosen Row of that same Column by reference to Cell B5 ? For example if I want to refer to Cell G33 can you refer to this Cell in some form like Cell(Contents of Cell B5;33) ??? Don't want to use R1C1 type references if possible.

Cell Reference- Able To Reference Two Cells To The Left Even As More Cells Are Added
Jun 11, 2008I have 5 columns set up: A,B,C,D,E
D is the sum of A and B
E is the sum of A,B,and C
As I add in a new column to the right of C (call it C2), I need D (which has shifted over one) to sum A,B, and C.
I also need E (which has also shifted over one) to sum A,B,C, and C2.
Essentially I need a function in a cell that will be able to reference two cells to the left even as more cells are added.

How To Reference Another Worksheet In A Macro
Nov 3, 2009I am writing a macro that will use information from the worksheet in use and the one prior to it. The problem is I do not know how to reference the worksheet that will always come before the worksheet in use. To fill you in, I have a monthly budget worksheet that tracks all my monthly financials. What I like to do is compare this months balances (cash, equity, bonds) and see the amount of loss/gain and percentage from the month before.
Here is what i currently have implemented.
This macro was written in the month of October. For this function the macro I wrote will take Octobers cash balance and subtract it from Septembers cash balance. This will give me the gain or loss. Now the problem is if I were to run this macro in November it will still reference September not October. I always want the macro to use the month before (the 1st tab to the left) not a specific tab. I wrote this macro using relative references so I do not understand why it will not use the tab before. Can someone please shed some light on this for me?
Can't Get Rid Of Macro/object Reference
Jul 27, 2008i created a spreadsheet which, using vba, disallows sheet deletion (works a dream); problem since has been that i cannot delete any sheets in any workbook anymore, and even a completely empty unsaved spreadsheet will try to open the worksheet containing the original code...
i've tried the following:
- deleted the workbook excel is trying to reference
- ensured there are no macros in excel
- ensured there is no vba code whatsoever
- checked the defined names (nothing)
- checked the vba objects
- debugged the "delete sheet" (didn't work)
- uninstalled all of office 2003, then cleaned registry, then reinstalled from scratch
- all of the above again
- searched about a zillion internet postings
