    - need help tweaking Debra Dalgleish macro greetings, i pulled the following code from ms. dalgleish's data validation file and would like the macro to stop once it reaches at certain row, if the last number is continually overwritten that's fine. i've tried if statements based on "target.row + 1" being less than a numerical value, say 10, but that doesn't seem to work (if someone could clue me into why that'd be great. any help appreciated, and props to ms. dalgleish and her fab, i.e. incredibly useful, website =D http://www.contextures.com/index.html Option Explicit Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) On Error GoTo exitHandler Dim rngDV As Range Dim lRow As Long Dim lCol As Long lCol = Target.Column 'column with data validation cell If Target.Count > 1 Then GoTo exitHandler On Error Resume Next Set rngDV = Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeAllValidation) On Error GoTo exitHandler If rngDV Is Nothing Then GoTo exitHandler If Intersect(Target, rngDV) Is Nothing Then 'do nothing Else If Target.Value = "" Then GoTo exitHandler Application.EnableEvents = False Select Case Target.Column Case 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 If Target.Offset(1, 0).Value = "" Then lRow = Target.Row + 1 Else lRow = Cells(Rows.Count, lCol).End(xlUp).Row + 1 End If Cells(lRow, lCol).Value = Target.Value End Select End If exitHandler: Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub Tag: Calculating Cells Tag: 981353

    - Checkboxes and Arrays When working with Check Boxes, is it not possible to use arrays to keep track of them, as with worksheets? SET UP Dim all_boxes As Variant ' setting up ranges Set range_create = Worksheets("INTRO").Range("F7") What I am trying to do: ' create array listing the names of every possible sheet (there are MANY more sheets than listed here) all_boxes = Array("create_111", "create_112", "create_113") ' select all other check boxes by making them true For offset_var = 0 To 2 (there are normally 27 check boxes) Worksheets("INTRO").Array(all_boxes(offset_var)).Value = True Next offset_var What works: Worksheets("INTRO").create_111 = True Worksheets("INTRO").create_112 = True Worksheets("INTRO").create_113 = True ' etc... this takes up a LOT of space, and I always like trying to make more efficient code, if possible Problem: "Object doesn't support this property or method" Attempts to fix it: - I have tried putting the names in the array without "" (quotation marks) - I have tried removing the Array Worksheets("INTRO").(all_boxes(offset_var)).Value - I have tried without the Value Worksheets("INTRO").(all_boxes(offset_var)) - I have tried using Shapes with and without Value Worksheets("INTRO").Shapes(all_boxes(offset_var)) Worksheets("INTRO").Shapes(all_boxes(offset_var)).Value It is problem something extremely simple...

    - currency formatting of cells with code Hi, below is the code I have so users from different countries can enter their currency symbol. e.g $ or £ or ? or "Ksh" (Kenya Shillings), Bht (Thai Baht), etc. By them entering their currency symbol (or letter code) into cell M2 (Cells(2, 13)), the Change event fires and it formats a Range (OtherCurrencyCells), with this format. It works quite well, but when I try to enter certain letters into M2, nothing happens. For about 1/3 of letters it will fire, but won't change the format. E.g. It accepts all the currency symbols I've tried so far, but when I try to enter "ksh", or "bht", it won't change. But it will change for "kqr" and some other single and multiletter combinations. I have no idea the reason or the pattern. It will change for "k", but if I enter "ksh", it only takes the "k" as the currency format. But if I put any of these unacceptable ones inside "quotes", it takes them all. So I guess that could be my solution, to have users enter letter codes for their currency format, e.g. Ksh, Bht, in double quotes. But now I'm just plain curious as to why it won't accept certain of these letters. Any ideas? Thanks, Harold Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Set t = Target On Error GoTo ErrHandler: If Intersect(t, Range("A1:z115")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub Range("OtherCurrencyCells").NumberFormat = Cells(2, 13).Value & "* #,##0" Exit Sub ErrHandler: End Sub Tag: Calculating Cells Tag: 981343

    - VBA formula too long? Hi, I am creating a utilisation tool in Excel which contains data on Sickness, Holidays and Other Absence. I have created the formula below in Excel to account for how much Other Absence has been taken year to date. I have then transferred this into VBA and changed the format to R1C1 and adapted the ranges so that they are defined by two variables (j - start of year, based on what today's date is & k - end of year, based on what today's date is). See code below. In reformatting however the formula is pushed onto a new line of code and the usual "_" does not seem to read as me wanting the code to continue on the next line. Is it possible to have a formula that is simply too long? I am getting more confident in Excel and VBA now and can pretty much do everything I want to, but I am equally confident that there is a better way of doing everything that I do :) I am not especially fond of the formula / code below so please feel free to scratch it if that provides a more simple solution. (I haven't finished reformatting after I encountered the problem.)

    - Variable Input I have to use, what I thought was, a simple variable input, but it's turning out to be not so simple. Basically I loop through all sheets in a book, as long as the sheets <> "Sheet1". Then do some basic formatting and some simple math. Everything works fine except for this part: Chng = Range("F2") and this part: c.Offset(, 19).Value = "=(IF(RC[-20]="&Chng&",RC[-18],0)+IF(RC[-15]="&Chng&",RC[-14],0))*RC[-3]" I have names in column F of each sheet, which are all the same on each sheet, but different names are on different sheets. All I need to do is figure out the value in F2 on each sheet and use that in my IF function. I thought I could just assign the value in F2 to the variable Chng and then just use that variable in my IF function. Excel has other thoughts and it is telling me that I can't do that. Why? All code below: Sub Math() Dim lastRow As Long Dim c As Variant Dim sh As Worksheet Dim myA As Range Dim lastYRow As Long Dim sumRng As Range Dim Tot As Double Dim Chng As Variant For Each sh In Worksheets If LCase(sh.Name) <> LCase("Sheet1") Then sh.Activate With sh .Rows(1).Font.Bold = True Chng = Range("F2") lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp).Row For Each c In .Range("F2:F" & lastRow) If c.Value <> "" Then c.Offset(, 19).Value = "=(IF(RC[-20]="&Chng&",RC[-18],0)+IF(RC[-15]="&Chng&",RC[-14],0))*RC[-3]" End If Next c lastYRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "Y").End(xlUp).Row Set sumRng = .Range("Y2:Y" & lastYRow) Tot = Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum(sumRng) 'MsgBox Tot .Cells(lastRow + 1, "Y").Value = Tot '.Rows(2).Delete End With End If Next sh End Sub Any help is appreciated.

    - ListBox Displaying With Some Items Already Selected In 2007 I have an application that I have been using without problems since Office 2000. It has a list box, which is populated using the command: cyo_dialog.sel_box.RowSource = "product_list" It then goes on to ensure that all the items are deselected with the code: For a = 0 To (cyo_dialog.sel_box.ListCount - 1) cyo_dialog.sel_box.Selected(a) = False Next a cyo_dialog.sel_box.ListIndex = 0 Since I started using this on 2007, for some unknown reason two of the first three items come up selected (normally item 1 with either 2 or 3) , and are then not deselected by the code that follows. I have found 2007 to be very buggy and inconsistent in its running, but I can see no reason why this should now be happening. Thanks in advance. Tag: Calculating Cells Tag: 981246

    - Confrimation of copy paste operation Hi, In my application (C#, Office 2007), i am attempting to copy a range of cells containing data to a range on another worksheet. Upon copying the range I then copy a chart into a specific area on the second worksheet. The chart is resized and set up to represent a datapoint per row of data so the chart. Occasionally (and i mean occasionally, i cannot replicate the problem 100% of the time) the chart does not get copied to the second worksheet. I do this a number of times for various different table ranges. Sometimes there will be a number of these charts copied to the same output worksheet and i have encountered this issue where by only some of the charts copy and others don't. I generally use the following code to do the copy paste _chObj = (ChartObject)_excelDataWS.ChartObjects("ChartName"); _chObj.Copy(); _excelPresentationWS.Paste(_presTopLeftRange), paramMissing); I have a couple of questions on this problem. 1) Is there a benefit to using the following copy command?: _chObj.CopyPicture(XlPictureAppearance.xlScreen, XlCopyPictureFormat.xlPicture); 2) Is there any way to confirm that a copy/paste operation has succeeded and if not then to retry it? I'm really having no joy in diagnosing why this is happening. I get no exceptions thrown when the charts do not appear. Any help is greatfully recieved.

    - Thanks to Stephen Bullen for fixing VBA's miserable UserForm. With the qualification that I'm only using Win 2000 and this might've been fixed, and if I understand UserForm correctly: The seeming fact, which I just learned, that the highest-level visual control in VBA, UserForm, by design fails to implement even the most basic Windows features of being resizable, min- and maximizable (and I have yet to see a ScreenUpdate), has got to be the most pathetic, half- assed thing I've seen out of Redmond in a long time. UserForm is not a FORM. It has neither the appearance nor functionality of a form. It has little more than dialog functionality. I mean, when's the last time you've seen something on your Windows screen that's missing the Min/Max/Restore buttons, for God's sake? While they were at it, why didn't they omit caption functionality? Or force UserForm to be modal? (Thank God they didn't, but now I wonder: why not?) But can someone answer: what do users do who have screen resolutions different from the programmer's, when the box he designed doesn't fit their screen? As happened to me today when I ported my NonUserForm from one PC to another. I had to change in the form size IN DESIGN MODE. And, how in the world can all you programmers write an *application* in VBA? I REALLY hope I'm seriously missing something in my understanding here, I really do. It sure wouldn't be the first time. In fact, crow is one of the dishes I eat most gladly. *** In the meantime (and I can't believe it's taken me this long to discover it), I took Peter T's advice and went to Stephen Bullen's fabulous Excel site: www.oaltd.co.uk/Excel/Default.htm where there are all kinds of goodies. Not least of which is FormFun.xls, which includes all the necessary hooks out to Windows to fix the miserable, decrepit piece of crap that is UserForm. [Rant alert!] I have said this for decades: Microflot's Soviet approach to things will be its undoing. Because soon a company is going to come along with a computer on which you don't click a button called 'Start' to shut the goddamned system down. And by Soviet, I mean: Refusing to fix design flaws and their thousands of points of failure to implement their own--excellent-- Windows paradigms in EVERY user control, on EVERY screen, in EVERY context across their ENTIRE product spectrum. Yet, accomplishing that feat between even the most intimate siblings of the Office family is absolutely beyond this company. Instead, where do they spend their computing resources? Migrating us to operating systems requiring multiple cores and multi-gigabytes of storage, so we can have the thrill of executing a few MISERABLE machine instructions to do the things we did pretty well on our old 1981 IBM PCs--like balancing our checkbooks--but with 3D graphics, animation, and an electrical draw of a couple hundred more watts. If you have shares in MS, I say: maybe don't keep them for long. *** Tag: Calculating Cells Tag: 981209

    - Excel 2007 - How do I ... bring data into an excel 2007 worksheet that is stored in a sql database table? The idea is to parameterize the "where" clause in the sql select statement limiting the result set. There are lots of examples in the literature with regard to bringing in data stored in cubes --- but not so much from data in sql table. The basic issue is I want bring in descriptive information about say a contract (things like description, signing date, etc). Cubes which most (all) of the literature deals with are dealing with aggregations of amounts or "measures" and not so much about descriptions. As always all suggestions are welcome.

    - UserForm ShowModal Problem I have a UserForm that will not Unload correctly for some reason when ShowModal = True. I get a Run-time Error '91': Object Variable or With block variable not set. But when I change ShowModal = False then everything Unloads properly. I have 8 other UserForms that have ShowModal = True and they all Unload just fine. Anybody know why this happens?

    - code to extract data from a website runs of XP but not Vista I am working on code to extract data from a website. I am using CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") to start IE. The code is far from working perfectly but when I moved the code from an XP computer to a Vista computer I canâ??t get past the â??Do Until .readystate = 4â?? statement. IE opens visible and I get the following error message: â??The object invoked has disconnected from its clientsâ?? I did not get this error on the XP computer. The code is the following: Sub Tester() Dim objIE As Object Dim allTabs, t, x As Integer Dim r As Long, s As String, c As Long Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") With objIE .Visible = False .Navigate "http://www.masters.org/en_US/scores/index.html" Do Until .readystate = 4 â??hangs on this statement on the Vista computer DoEvents Loop With .document Set allTabs = .getElementsByTagName("TABLE") For Each t In allTabs 'table with scores is always greater than 30 and only table that large on page If t.Rows.Length > 29 Then r = 2 For x = 1 To t.Rows.Length - 1 For c = 0 To 9 s = t.Rows(x).Cells(c).innerHTML ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Info").Cells(r, c + 1).Value = s Next c r = r + 1 Next x End If Next t End With End With End Sub I have a feeling from looking up the error on the web that it may have something to do with the added security of Vista. Has anyone else run up against this problem? I see a lot of code samples here that use the same code to open IE that I do. -- russ Tag: Calculating Cells Tag: 981192

    - Automanipulating IE drop-down list in VBA/Excel I'm strictly a newbie in VB; I've been programming on the mainframe for decades but am only recently come to VBA, VBScript etc, so if you notice that I'm going about this all wrong, be sure and point me in a better direction. I have a spreadsheet that contains data from the web, and I'd like to make it smart enough to update itself when I tell it to. I've learned a little about the "Document" object model, and have gotten to the point where I can browse down through all the .Document.All items and figure out which ones I want VBA to manipulate. I can even fill in the values of web pages' text boxes and simulate a .Click on its buttons. But now I want to make a selection from a drop-down box. Let's say it has a list of states on it: I want my VBA program to pick out the correct state and convince the web page that I've chosen it. I've found the Option items that define the possible selections, and I see that if I find the correct one and change its Selected property to True, it shows up on the page correctly as though I selected it myself. But what the page doesn't do is proceed from that point as though I had clicked on the item - that is, it shows up in the drop-down selection box, but I can't get it to go forward from there. I've tried .Clicking on everything I can think of (might have missed one, though), but nothing seems to work. What am I supposed to do to get to the next step. If there's a FAQ on this, or another forum I should post to, just point me in the right direction. And if there's an easier way than using the Document object model - which wouldn't surprise me - feel free to point that out to me, too. Thanks. Tag: Calculating Cells Tag: 981190

    - I am not sure Hello; I am trying to help someone, for which I am not sure there exists a solution. He has a .csv file that he is opening in Excel. The values, somehow, import into the correct conglomeration of data. More in a minute. Column A is a number formatted as text. Column B is a series of numbers, some formatted as text. Those that are not formatted as text, are separated by commas (Huh!!) and hyphens. The object is to concatenate the two values together. Example: A | B | C | | 1 | 357 |Argentina | | 345 |32,34,39 |Paraguay | 40-45 | | | 33945 |27-30,41, | USA |43, 45 | The data should finally look like this for USA (etc.) A | B 3394527 |USA 3394528 |USA 3394529 |USA 3394530 |USA 3394541 |USA 3394543 |USA 3394545 |USA Which column the new values end up in does not matter. I know how to do this fairly rapidly with formula's and a big enough worksheet. Then copy and paste the values to where I want them. I am wondering if this is even possible. I am not a big VB fan. I like to avoid them if I can, but I wonder if this can even be handeled by VB. Column B on one of the cells looks like this as an example. 264235, 264469, 264476, 264497, 264536-264539, 264543, 264581-264584, 264724, 264729, 264772-264773 There is no regularity to the number of digits. There is no regularity to the hyphenation location. There is no regularity to the format of the numbers (which I guess all could be changed to numbers and back to text for concantenation) and there is no regularity to the quantity of values in the cell. Is there any hope for this? Any help would be appreciated. Thank You Frank Pytel PS. I see a lot of posts here that look really nice. I am on the Office Online site. I know these posts can be viewed and edited at other sites. Can I set this up in Outlook so that I can Post and search. Kind of like Outlook Express? Thanks Tag: Calculating Cells Tag: 981185

    - How to execute macro based on a users computer settings Hello experts, I'd like to find a method/script to only execute an excel macro based on a users existing file listing on their computer ( or it could be a pre-existing setting; ie. their IP or MAC address). Ideally I'd like to have a macro check for the existence of a certain file (or password phrase encoded in the file) on the directory of a users computer, if YES then execute macro, ELSE don't do anything. This is all done in the background right before the event that usually triggers the primary macro, which is an ftp command line script. My guess is creating a batch file that executes in a windows shell and outputs a value that could be read, but I'm not sure if that's the best way to achieve what I want. I want to avoid using a pop-up form and password inside the excel file - this is currently what I already have. Thank you for your help, -Doug Jr. Tag: Calculating Cells Tag: 981182

    - How best to break up code I hit the "procedure too large" error and I can't seem to get past it. I'm well aware of the reason and I can tell you know that I've effectively crammed all the IFs and LOOPs into it that I can, so let's assume that the code can't be condensed further. I've spent half-a-day reading through this group and Googling and can't seem to make it all come together. So my question is, how do I create this "well structured code" when I have SO MANY declarations which need to be used across the different procedures? I don't want to pass all of my declarations as arguments as I feel like that would take forever. There has got to me a more logical way that I am missing. And functions are supposed to be small aren't they? In reading the vba help, it seems that declaring the procedure or perhaps the individual variables using "static" would allow them to persist but they don't. Does it make a difference if I put everything in separate modules? From what I've read that isn't necessary. I read somewhere in this group that someone had a procedure that held all of their variables and they just called it in each procedure. How would this have been done? And if the variable is changed in the first procedure that calls it, then how can I get that value to persist to the next? I know the first question is going to be, let me see your code. But because this is more of a conceptual question, I'm leaving it out for now. I'll gladly provide some as needed. Many thanks for any assistance. Shelton Tag: Calculating Cells Tag: 981179

My macros copy data from the secondary workbook and appends the data to the primary workbook.

Is there a better way to pull data from another excel workbook? Links are not an option. Thanks, - Pat Tag: Calculating Cells Tag: 981174

    - Combo Box and smart key selection Hi I have a spreadsheet (windows xp, MS Office 2003) with several userforms. One of these has a combo box, populated from the following code: Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Dim myArr As Variant With Me.cbStdOP .ColumnCount = 9 'columns A:I .ColumnWidths = "180;0;0;0;25;0;0;0;0" 'hide the last 8 columns End With With Worksheets("AutoEntry") myArr = .Range("a2", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp)) _ .Resize(, Me.cbStdOP.ColumnCount) End With Me.cbStdOP.List = myArr End Sub This shows in the combo box only the column A (description) and column E (numerical codes) entries from the 'AutoEntry' worksheet. The user scrolls thru these and selects from these choices in the combo box, and the resulting data is placed into another ws ('Operations'). The rows in 'AutoEntry' are sorted by column E (numerical codes). I know this is not the best way to do this. I would like the user to be able to type the first numbers of the codes and have the combo box go to that selection (there are > 1500 rows to scroll through on the AutoEntry ws). Ideally, there would be a radio button to search by description OR by numerical code, and the combo box would show the matches. Thanks for any guidance! cls Tag: Calculating Cells Tag: 981153

    - Working with Arrays I am trying to use an array to move a group of sheets from one workbook to a new workbook.
