Select Worksheet Variable
Jan 30, 2012
I am trying to run some code when a worksheet is selected.
I'm doing this using a macro currently (code below), but this requires that i use a quick menu button and i would like to make it a form button and assign a macro to it (so i can distribute the file without everyone having to create a menu button).
I would like to replace (or modify) the code below to select any sheet other than the ones named "a" and "b".
Code:
Sub ImportAlarms()
Dim thisSheet As Worksheet
Dim targetSheet As Worksheet
On Error GoTo failed
Set thisSheet = Application.ActiveSheet
Set targetSheet = Sheets(TARGET_SHEET)
[Code] .......

I want to select the variable range somewhere in the middle of the sheet from where the 2nd instance of cell named "real cost" is, down to the next blank row (select the area without the blank row), so that I could copy it to another sheet.....

I'm in the middle of building a code that will look at the value in Sheet: "DATA" column "J", for each row that matches a criteria that I pull from a cell - Sheet: "Test" Cell: "C1".
The number of rows varies. I want to paste columns: "I2, K2:P2, U2:AJ2" when the value in Sheet: "DATA" column "J" matches the cell "C1".
I'm using a Command button to click every time I want to generate the filtered data. And I would prefer the code to always copy data starting at Sheet: "Test" Cell: "K2".
I've copied, below, my test code that I have so far which only copies row 2 from the Sheet: "Data", and copies it into Sheet: "Test", starting at K2.
VB:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
If Sheets("DATA").Range("J2").Value = Sheets("Test").Cells(1, 3) Then
Sheets("DATA").Range("I2,K2:P2,U2:AJ2").Copy
Sheets("Test").Cells(2, 11).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone
End If
End Sub

I want the select case list of a ComboBox to be treated as a variable in order to shorten the code size. To clarify the problem, i post the code with what i want to do, but don't know how to do it that way.
Code:
Select Case ComboBox1.ListIndex
Case 0: y = "AT"
For j = 0 To 26
Case "j": y = sheets("name").Range("A(j)") 'Range A(j) is a string, so y as well, as seen in Case 0.
Next j
End Select
Is something like this possible?

On my userform I have 20 comment icons (imported pictures), that when clicked need to bring up an InputBox for the user to add a comment, and store that comment in a Public variable specific to that comment which will later be written to the spreadsheet.
To keep it simple, lets say I have two comment icons to click, one to add comments to the "Testing Completed?" field, and one to add to the "Sign-Off?" field.
The first comment icon is named TestCompIcon, the second is SignOffIcon, and the public variables they write to are called TestCompComment and SignOffComment respectively.
To avoid having to code the InputBox procedure for every comment icon on the userform, I was hoping that upon click, the icon would call a centralized routine that would establish the name of the variable that needs to be written based on the name of the icon comment that was clicked. Something like as follows:...............

Basically I need a bit of VB to find the last cell in column F with text in it (is it End(xlUp)??) and then apply full borders from that cell up to cell Q5. A test macro tells me the border bit is as follows, so just need defining the range.
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0

I am doing is setting a variable called eof to the number of rows (with text) and i just want to select columns A1 - G1 and the eof range!
Dim eof As Integer
With Sheets("Coverage Count (%)")
eof = .Range("G65536").End(xlUp).Row
'crashes on the .select
.Range("A1:G1" & eof).Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("G2"), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
End With
I've done this before and I could have sworn this worked...but i must be missing something.

I don't know how to concatenate a string within the Rows function. I want to be able to vary the row number with a variable, but I don't know how to construct the string, especially given that one of the delimiters within the function is ".

This one should be easy but I keep running into the same wall.
On every page I have single cell defined name range based on the sheet name & "_startcell"
So on sheet MfgReq I have cell A3 defined as name range "MfgReq_startcell".
I would like to the following:
.clearcontent using the "MfgReq_startcell" as the upper most left cell, all the columns to the right, and all the rows down.
on this sheet it might be 5 columns wide by 4000 row & on another sheet it might be 50 columns wide by 50000 rows.

I'm trying to write a macro that will validate data in variable amount of rows but will always be in a specific column. what i'd like to do is count the amount of row entries in Column A to give me "iRows." Then validate data in column E from E1-E"iRows." Currently my data validation runs for the entire column which means i can not validate blank entries. Once I can limit the validation process from E1 to E "iRows" then I can consider blank fields and mark them as invalid.
Columns("E:E").Select
With Selection.Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateDecimal, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator _
:=xlGreater, Formula1:="1"
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
.InputTitle = "Award Amount"
.ErrorTitle = "Award Error"
.InputMessage = _
"Please enter the current expected total value or current award amount for this contract."
.ErrorMessage = _
"Award amount may not be set to 0.00. If you do not have an amount awarded simply make the award amount equal to the paid amount."
.ShowInput = True
.ShowError = True
End With
I've tried using different ways of counting the rows and have been able to define "iRows" the problem is defining the range to only column E from E1 to E"irows."

I am trying to create a command button on my userform that will allow me to print all the records in the worksheet....in other words it should only print the rows with data......
*my worksheet is called "complaintData" - this is hidden and not active sheet.
*I have columns A to J with information, with heading from A1:J1.
*I want to be able to print all the rows with values in column A. (Not all the columns except "A", will have values for every record....some may be blank for some records...
*I want all the columns to fit in in one page with headings (A1:J1) being first row on every new page.....
*page setup should be landscape...
I have tried a few codes from this forum, but not sure where I have goofed up....am still trying learn VBA.....would appreciate if anyone can fix this code for me....cheers
Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
Sheets("ComplaintData").Visible = False
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("complaintdata")

I have tried various syntaxes but nothing is working for me. I am using XL 2000 so it doesn't have the relative address function in the macro! So here is what I have
ActiveCell.Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.R1C1
Range("R1C1:R1C85").Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
Application. ScreenUpdating = True
Range("A1").Select
I need to be able to select from the originating cell which will always be in "T" Col thru to "CZ" col but will be on different rows.

I have this problem quite often and always have to think of a way around it, however I think there must be a simple method of doing what I want.
If I want to select row three, I would write:
Rows("3:3").Select
However, if I have a variable which holds my row number how do I rewrite the above code? I've tried serveral varations of:
Rows("CurrentRow:CurrentRow").Select

I download some data from a commercial real estate site about properties and their owners and process it in Excel. Out of 1,000 records, maybe 20 or so will have the data end up in the wrong fields. This is an artifact of the data source the commercial site uses.
Anyway, what I need to do is to get the data back in the right fields. So, I sort the data to pull together at the top of the sheet all the records with data where it's not supposed to be. So far, so good.
Now from one data download to another the number of records which end up in the sort will be different. And, here's the problem.
I try to record a macro mimicking my selection of the range of the data that needs to be moved. Fine, no problem. And, on the same dataset it works like a charm. But as soon as I put a different dataset into the spreadsheet with a different number of records that need to be corrected the macro fails.
Apparently, this is because the macro has been defined with a certain range of cells selected in the first data set and this same range is used for subsequent datasets with different numbers of errant records.
Basically, what I'm trying to record in a macro is the Shift/Control End and Shift/control arrow commands. But they don't record as such.

I'm trying to write some code to select cells in a number of columns on a variable row. I have the following code to define the rownumbers for Cash and Pal:
Columns("G:G").Select
Selection.Find(What:="Total Cash", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
[Code]....
Then I can use the following code to select a cell in a single column:
Range("P" & Cash & ":P" & Pal).Select
but I need to select cells in columns P, R, T, V, X, etc.....
If I was doing this for a fixed rownumber I would use:
Range("P22:P23,R22:R23,T22:T23,V22:V23,X22:X23").Select
but because my rownumber is variable I tried to use:
Range("P" & Cash & ":P" & Pal, "R" & Cash & ":R" & Pal, "T" & Cash & ":T" & Pal, "V" & Cash & ":V" & Pal, "X" & Cash & ":X" & Pal).Select
but this doesn't work giving the Compile error: Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignments

I want to select and clear a part of a sheet.
here is what I have.
Sub clear_data()
sheets("sheet1").select
lr = activesheet.usedrange.rows.count
Here is where I get lost in translation (syntax).
I want to select starting at Bcolumn through bycolumn but the row be set with the LR from above, since the rows always change.
I could write B2:by2000, but i want to use the LR variable to define the number of rows i have.

I have a userform with 3 Comboboxes, all of which need to be populated from the dropdown option before OK is pressed. I haven't used any fancy names as this is just a straightforward (or so I thought) entry form ... the UserForm is called UserForm1 and the 3 ComboBoxes are called ComboBox1, ComboBox2 & ComboBox3. I have tried to be economical with my validation routine but I cannot get an incremental variable added to the end of the word "ComboBox" to be recognised ... my code is below :
Private Sub Validate_ComboBoxes()
While MyComboCount < 3
MyComboCount = MyComboCount + 1
MyComboBox = "ComboBox" & MyComboCount
Select Case "UserForm1." & MyComboBox <<<< This fails
Select Case UserForm1.ComboBox1 <<<< This works
Case ""
MyValidCheck = MyValidCheck + 1
Select Case MyComboCount
Case "1"
MsgBox "Enter the number of weeks for this period"
Case "2"
MsgBox "You need to enter a start date"
Case "3"
MsgBox "You need to enter an end date"
End Select
End Select
If MyValidCheck > 0 Then
MyComboCount = 4
End If
Wend
End Sub

I am looking for macro that when run, will open a file explorer window and prompt the user to select a folder and file where they have data stored. Then I need it to be stored as a variable and used as a part of a "Workbook.Open Filename" command.
The reason for this is that, I have a huge formatting marco stored within a workbook. When a user extracts a report from SAP, I want the workbook to grab the file that is extracted, open it and import all of the data in order to be formatted.

Based on if the value in col A contains the characters "TT" I want to select the range starting with this cell and ending at the end at the end of the row I'm using (.End(xlRight) and then merge these cells, change colors etc. And then looping this through a 'range' so that it only occurs where the values occur. I can amend various cells based on this idea, but am unable to identify the range and then merge the cells.

I have had this problem in multiple different macros so I will just provide an example of relevant code:
Code:
For J = 0 To 3
Select Case J
Case J = 0
LikeVar = "a*spk1*E0"
LikeVar2 = "a*spk1*E7"
End Select
Next J
For some reason it skips over the likevar variable assignments even though J = 0 on the first time through the loop. I have tried changing the For line to J = 1 to 3, and the case to J = 1, but it still skips to the end select. Is it not possible to use a select case on an iterator variable?

I would like my macro to prompt the user to select a folder for files to be either opened from or saved to during the running of my macro.
In fact, I need them to select two folders, one for this month and the other for last month.
I think I need to set the two folders as a variable but being fairly new to vba I'm not quite sure how to do this.
