I am trying to collect data from a cell from one sheet(3 Combined I) and pass it to a cell in another sheet(5 Gas I) using vba via a command button. This is what I have tried to use but it insteads copies the formula within that cell from sheet 3 Combined I?
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Worksheets("3 Combined I").Range("e23").Copy Destination:=Worksheets("5 Gas I").Range("d10")
End Sub
Please try
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Worksheets("5 Gas I").Range("d10").value = Worksheets("3 Combined I").Range("e23").value
End Sub
You can also try the PasteSpecial method of Range object.
Please see Excel VBA Copy Paste Values only( xlPasteValues )
Updated
#nbayly recommands Value2 property of Range object instead of Value property.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Worksheets("5 Gas I").Range("d10").value2 = Worksheets("3 Combined I").Range("e23").value2
End Sub
Reason as: What is the difference between .text, .value, and .value2?

The following code adds/deletes sheets and inserts a list of all the sheet names while making them hyperlinks:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/48159499/9102830
The following code changes the sheet name depending on several cell names:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address(0, 0) = "C13" Then
Sh.Name = Sh.Range("B33").Value + "_" + Sh.Range("C13").Value + "_" + Sh.Range("C22").Value + "_N01"
End If
End Sub
The questions are:
Instead of changing when the cell input changes, can this be done automatically?
Could it be a part of the "Sub add_sheet" code? Like, if I add a sheet, it should be named depending on the cells, and since it is copied and the cells are the same, the name will obviously be taken, in which case the name should be "N02" instead of "N01" (instead of the default "(2)" that Excel does).
Finally, when/if the cells are changed, so that the sheet name is not equal to a previous sheet name, could it automatically go back to "N01"?
Thanks in advance!
There are a few ways you can handle that. One way is to combine Worksheet_Activate with Worksheet_Calculate, and throw in a public variable.
When you first open up your worksheet, you will automatically set the variable, and the variable will set with every change as well.
Option Explicit
Public myVar As Variant
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
'Set the public variable
myVar = Range("B33").Value
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
If myVar <> Range("B33").Value Then
sh.Name = ...
myVar = Range("B33")
End If
End Sub
You can also set the variable when you open the workbook with Workbook_Open as well. Really just depends on your particular needs.
I am attempting to have a Workbook_Open event populate a controls ComboBox
so that when the user goes to the Worksheet("Benchmarking"), they have a pre-populated list to choose from that includes all the items in the array datesArr.
The problem i am having is, upon opening the spreadsheet and navigating to the Worksheet("Benchmarking"), i am only seeing one item in the drop down list:
If i select that item then the list actually populates:
Desired result:
I want the full list to be available from the first time the user tries to make a selection not just after the ComboBox1_Change event is fired.
Having reviewed numerous post e.g. Sometimes the ActiveX Combobox only shows one row, why? , Populating Combo Box on WorkBook Open I have tried several different approaches including the following in the Workbook_Open event code:
.ListFillRange = "DropDownDates"
.List = DateArrToStrAr
I have also looped the array adding the items to ComboBox1. Each time i get the same 1 visible item in drop down result.
Is someone able to tell me where i am going wrong please?
My current code is
1) ThisWorkbook
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
With Worksheets("Benchmarking").OLEObjects("ComboBox1").Object
.Clear
.List = DateArrToStrArr '
End With
End Sub
2) Worksheet("Benchmarking"):
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change() 'QH 2/11/17
Dim datesArr() As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Lkup")
datesArr = DateArrToStrArr 'function that reads a named range of dates and converts to string to avoid dd/mm becoming mm/dd
If ComboBox1.Value = vbNullString Then ComboBox1.Value = "01/04/2016"
ComboBox1.List = datesArr
'.....other code
End Sub
Notes:
The array datesArr is populated by the function DateArrToStrArr() which reads in a named range of dates "DropDownDates" (workbook scope) and converts them to a string array. This is then assigned to the ComboBox.
DropDownDates is a dynamic named range with formula =OFFSET(Lkup!$F$16,,,Lkup!$M$12,)
Set-up: Excel 2016 64 bit Windows.
Thanks to #CLR for making me think about recalcs. I decided to hack my way around this with the following:
I have added in Worksheet("Benchmarking") a Worksheet_Activate event and removed the Workbook_Open code. This seems to do the trick
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
' ComboBox1.Clear
ComboBox1.List = DateArrToStrArr
End Sub
I have programmed the following VBA code:
Sub test()
Dim Variable As Variant
Variable = "R2:R11"
Sheet1.Select
Range(Variable).Select
End Sub
This formula works perfectly. Now I want to replace the "R2:R11" part of the variable and instead referring to a cell (W12) in the spreadsheet. In this cell I have written "R2:R11" and I changed the formula to the following:
Variable = Sheet1.Range("W12")
which leads to the following code:
Sub test()
Dim Variable As Variant
Variable = Sheet1.Range("W12")
Sheet1.Select
Range(Variable).Select
End Sub
However, with this formula I now get the ERROR 1004.
Do you guys have any solution how I can make the variable referring to the cell in the spreadsheet and then use it in the select formula?
Thanks for any help :-)
You need to declare your variables properly and access the actual .Value property of the Range object.
Sub test()
Dim Variable As String
Variable = Sheet1.Range("W12").Value
Sheet1.Select
Range(Variable).Select
End Sub
Which can also be written as:
Sub test()
Sheet1.Activate
Range([W12]).Activate
End Sub
A note on the .Value property - if you omit this, the value will usually be assigned anyway because it's the default property of the range object. That being said there are scenarios where this won't be the case and therefore it's always best practice to explicitly state that you want the value.
you most probably typed "R2:R11" in W12 cell, i.e with double quotes too
in that cell you only have to type R1:R12
moreover you can simply code
Sub test()
Sheet1.Range(Sheet1.Range("W12")).Select
End Sub
I have tried code that I've found here on stackoverflow, and elsewhere but they aren't working as I think they can. I'll list them below. I'm almost certain this is an easy question.
What I'm trying to do: If in any of the cells in the range A2:A100 there is any text or number whatsoever, then make the worksheet tab red. And I will need to do this on over 20 tabs. This must execute upon opening the workbook, and thus not require manually changing a cell or recalculating.
The problems I've had with other code: As far as I can tell they require editing a cell, and then quickly hitting enter again. I tried SHIFT + F9 to recalculate, but this had no effect, as I think this is only for formulas. Code 1 seems to work albeit with having to manually re-enter text, but no matter what color value, I always get a black tab color.
Code I've tried:
Code 1:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
MyVal = Range("A2:A27").Text
With ActiveSheet.Tab
Select Case MyVal
Case ""
.Color = xlColorIndexNone
Case Else
.ColorIndex = 6
End Select
End With
End Sub
Code 2: This is from a stackoverflow question, although I modified the code slightly to fit my needs. Specifically, if in the set range there are no values to leave the tab color alone, and otherwise to change it to color value 6. But I'm sure I've done something wrong, I'm unfamiliar with VBA coding.
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
If Range("A2:A100").Text = "" Then
ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Tab.Color = xlColorIndexNone
Else
ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Tab.Color = 6
End If
End Sub
Thanks for your help!
I posted this on superuser first, but perhaps stackoverflow is more appropriate since it is explicitly programming-related.
Only two things will be able to switch the condition in this statement:
If Range("A2:A100").Text = "" Then
You've already identified both of them, changing the contents of the one of the cells in that range on a worksheet, or a formula in one of those cells recalculating to or from a value of "". As far as event triggers go, if the formula result changes, both the WorkSheet_Calculate and Worksheet_Change events will fire. Of the two, Worksheet_Change is the one to respond to, because WorkSheet_Calculate will only fire if any of the cells in A2:A100 contain a formula. Not if they only contain values - your "Code 2" isn't wrong, the event was just never firing.
The simple solution is to set your tab colors when you open the workbook. That way it doesn't matter if you have to activate a cell in that range and change it - that's only way the value you're testing against is going to change.
I'd do something like this (code in ThisWorkbook):
Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim sheet As Worksheet
For Each sheet In Me.Worksheets
SetTabColor sheet
Next sheet
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Sh.Range("A2:A100")) Is Nothing Then
SetTabColor Sh
End If
End Sub
Private Sub SetTabColor(sheet As Worksheet)
If sheet.Range("A2:A100").Text = vbNullString Then
sheet.Tab.Color = xlColorIndexNone
Else
sheet.Tab.Color = 6
End If
End Sub
EDIT: To test for the presence of specific text, you can do the same thing but need to have the test check every cell in the range you're monitoring.
Private Sub SetTabColor(sheet As Worksheet)
Dim test As Range
For Each test In sheet.Range("A2:A100")
sheet.Tab.Color = xlColorIndexNone
If test.Text = "whatever" Then
sheet.Tab.Color = vbRed
Exit For
End If
Next test
End Sub
Maybe test the len of the trimmed joined string of cells:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
If Len(Trim(Join(Application.Transpose(Range("A2:A100"))))) = 0 Then
ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Tab.Color = xlColorIndexNone
Else
ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Tab.Color = 6
End If
End Sub
This code will fire off every time the sheet calculates though as it is event code, I am not sure if that is what you want? If not then post back and we can drop it into a normal sub for you and make it poll all the sheets to test.
Worksheet_Change function will get called everytime there's change in the target range. You just need to place the code under Worksheet. If you have placed the code in the module or Thisworkbook then it wont work.
Paste the below in Sheet1 of your workbook and check if it works. Of Course you will need to do modification to the below code as I have not written complete code.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim WatchRange As Range
Dim IntersectRange As Range
Set WatchRange = Range("A1:A20")
Set IntersectRange = Intersect(Target, WatchRange)
If IntersectRange Is Nothing Then
''Here undo tab color
Else
ActiveSheet.Tab.ColorIndex = 6
End If
End Sub
I would like my Macro to launch whenever a value in a cell containing a formula changes.
i.e. the user is modifying another cell thus changing the value of the cell in question.
I have noticed that using the statement (found herein), only works if the user modifies the cell itself but not if the cell changes automatically - due to a formula as specified above.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A20")) Is Nothing Then ...
Any thoughts??
I tried to follow the answers from this question "automatically execute an Excel macro on a cell change" but it did not work...
Thanks in advance :)
A possible work-around comes from the fact that, to change a value, the user needs to change the selection first. So I would:
1) Declare a global variable called "oldValue" on top of the WS source code module:
Dim oldValue As Variant
2) Register the old value of your formula before the user types anything (let's say it's in Range("A4"), I let you adapt with the others):
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
oldValue = Range("A4")
End Sub
3) Check if the change has affected the formula in the Change event:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("A4") <> oldValue Then
MsgBox "User action has affected your formula"
End If
End Sub
I've tested with a simple sum, I'm able to write cells that are not involved without any prompt but if I touch one of the cells involved in the sum the MsgBox will show up. I let you adapt for multiple cases, for user adding/removing rows (in that case I suggest to name the ranges containing the formulas you want to track) and the worksheet references.
EDIT I'd like to do it at once, not by going through 2 processes, is it possible? The problem is my macro involves a range containing more than one cell so it will be hard to store old values for 10 cells.
If ranges are next to each other, then instead of using a variable you can use a collection:
Dim oldValues As New Collection
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
For j = 1 To 10
oldValues.Add Range("A" & j).Value
Next j
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
For j = 1 To 10
If Range("A" & j).Value <> oldValues(j) Then
MsgBox "The value of Range(A" & j & ") has changed"
End If
Next j
End Sub
Of course, if ranges are not close to each other, you can just store them anyway in the SelectionChange event like this:
oldValues.Add Range("A1").Value
oldValues.Add Range("B7").Value
'...
and if you done this ONCE, with 10 ranges only, it should be a reasonable solution to your problem.
You said, "I would like my Macro to launch whenever a value in a cell containing a formula changes..."
If having your code run whenever a cell containing a formula is recalculated (which is not exactly what you asked for), one solution might be to create a VBA function that simply returns that value passed to it, plus does whatever else you want to do when the formula is recalculated...
Public Function Hook(ByVal vValue As Variant) As Variant
Hook = vValue
' Add your code here...
End Function
...then "wrap" your formula in a call to this function. For example, if the formula you are interested in is =A1+1, you would change this to =Hook(A1+1), and the Hook function would be called whenever A1+1 is recalculated (for example, when the value in A1 changes). However, it is possible that recalculating A1+1 will yield the same result and still call the Hook function (for example, if the user re-enters the same value in A1).
You can have a go at this:
First, in a Module Code declare a Public Variable.
Public r As Range, myVal '<~~ Place it in Module
Second, initialize your variables in Workbook_Open event.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Set r = Sheet1.Range("C2:C3") '<~~ Change to your actual sheet and range
myVal = Application.Transpose(r)
End Sub
Finally, set up your Worksheet_Calculate event.
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
On Error GoTo halt
With Application
.EnableEvents = False
If Join(myVal) <> Join(.Transpose(r)) Then
MsgBox "Something changed in your range"
'~~> You put your cool stuff here
End If
myVal = .Transpose(r)
forward:
.EnableEvents = True
End With
Exit Sub
halt:
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
Resume forward
End Sub
Above will trigger the event when values in C2:C3 changes.
Not really very neat but works in detecting changes in your target range. HTH.
Declaring a module -level variable like Matteo describes is definitely one good way to go.
Brian 's answer is on the right track with regards to keeping all is the code in the same place, but it's missing one critical part : Application.Caller
When used in function that is called by a single cell, Application.Caller will return the Range object of that cell. This way you can store the old value within the function itself when it is called, then once you're done with calculating the new value you can compare it with the old and run more code as required.
Edit: The advantage with Application.Caller is that the solution scales in and of itself, and does not change no matter how the target cells are arranged (I.e. Continuous or not).
