In my code, I create a chart and specify a range for the input data:
.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Output").Range("N6:CS6")
The problem is that the first few cells are blank sometimes and when the chart is created it ignores them and starts from the first cell containing a value. This in turn results in a mismatch between the X-axis values and the data being displayed.
How can I force the chart to include full range specified, even if it contains blank cells?
If you are trying to get the blanks to display as zero the code is
ActiveChart.DisplayBlanksAs = xlZero

I have a UserForm that finds and copies a range of data and pastes it along with new data from the UserForm into a different sheet. I am wanting for it to also count the number of times some of that data is repeated in the new sheet. I have tried several different approches but none are working. Right now this is what I have:
.Range("I1").Value = iVal = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("A3:A103"), "CrisisNameTextBox1.Value")
This puts "TRUE" in the corresponding cell instead of the number of times the data is repeated.
You probably could use this function in the corresponding cell:
=COUNTIF( [range], [cell] )
The [range] is the range you want to check (use $ to make sure its value does not change from one cell to another)
The [cell] is the cell you are currently checking.
Assign the function to the cells you want and it should work
If you want to drag/copy this formula from one cell to an other : use the $ character to lock the coordinates you don't want to be changed. I.e :
$A1 Will prevent the column from being changed, but will allow the row
A$1 Will prevent the row from being changed, but will allow the column
$A$1 Will prevent both coordinates from being changed
The same applies to ranges ($A1:$F15, $A1:F1, $A$1:F15, A1:$F15, etc.)
I have a problem using named range in Excel.
If I create a named range using a cell range, I can obtain also a value.
If I select the same cell, one by one using mouse, I haven't anymore an associated value.
I have tried also to use VBA, and the result is the same.
Have you some idea to obtain values using multiple cells (without using single range)?
Result expected:
I'm expect to see cell values of the single cells.
- As you can see, if I choose every single cell (A2,A3,A4), Excel doesn't display me the value of these cells inside the name box.
- If I choose a single range (A2:A4), I can see the value of these cells.
How can I display the value of these cells inside Name instead of {...}
I noticed an interesting problem while trying to debug a VBA routine that sorts the list of worksheets in a range and then redraws the border around that range.
The range containing is defined in Name Manager with the formula as shown below
=Tables!$L$2:$L$22
The problem that is occurring is that while doing the sheet name work, sometimes cells are deleted and sometimes cells are inserted. This CHANGES the cell address values in the named range. So if I deleted two cells and inserted one cell, the formula changes to
=Tables!$L$2:$L$21
And if I happen to insert into the first cell (L2), then the formula changes to
=Tables!$L$3:$L$22
I'm certain that problem can be solved using the header range name and offsetting by one, but I'm not sure how to do that in the formula for a named range as I've tried numerous ways and can't get it right. But I also need the ending range address to be static.
Any help appreciated.
One thing to try is to use:
=Indirect("Tables!$L$2:$L$22")
rather than
=Tables!$L$2:$L$22
It is an acceptable Name, but I am not sure you will get the same functionality.
Found a better way than the comment using the static header range. You simply define the whole range using the offset function from the header.
=OFFSET(AllSheetsHeader,1,0,21,1)
Where the 1,0,21,1 are 1 row offset from header, 0 column offset, 21 is row height, and 1 is just that one column
I have made a large diagram of made by shapes with numbers stored inside as text and need to change the "old" numbers to a "new" range of numbers. On each of the 20 sheets there are circles, Rectangles, Left Arrows and Right Arrows. The old range of numbers are stored on a separate spreadsheet in the Column "A" and need to be changed to the numbers listed in Column "B" (as in A1 to B1).
What would a VBA method to change the old text inside the Shapes to the new correct text based off of a new range of numbers? Is it possible to write a script that changes the values in the entire WorkBook?
My incorrect way of thinking is to:
1. Search inside the diagram to find the various shapes.
2. Get the text inside each shape.
3. Compare the text with the spreadsheet with the old numbers.
4. Insert the new number.
5. Move onto the next shape.
Put a value in A1 and say we already have a Shape:
Running this:
Sub LinkCellToShape()
Dim sh As Shape
Set sh = ActiveSheet.Shapes(1)
sh.DrawingObject.Formula = "=A1"
End Sub
will link the text in the shape to the value in the cell. You could also use:
sh.OLEFormat.Object.formula = "=A1"
This is my first time using this forum, and my VBA skill is not very well developed. I hope someone can help.
I have two columns of data, Column A and Column B.
Column A - Returns a sequential "month-year" or 0. If spreadsheet current date (=now()) is less than say Feb, then the cell for February returns 0.
Column B - I want this column to check each cell in Column A. If Column A cell has a date identifier, I want this to be placed in Column B. If Column A has a 0 identifier, I want Column B to return an "empty" cell.
Reason why I am doing this is I am graphing a bar chart. When I trick the program into making an empty cell (x-axis) the graph does not show any data for that month (which is what I want). Trying to make a dynamic graph, but I have no experience in VBA (only C programming =/).
You don't need VBA (or even formulas) to do this.
Highlight Column A (the entire column), copy it.
Highlight Column B (the entire column, right click, Paste Special, select values and number formats, okay.
Highlight Column B again. Press Ctrl+H, Type 0 (or failing that it might be 00/01/1900) in the 'find what', leave the 'replace with' one blank. Tick Match entire cell contents. Click replace all.
Done.
Instead of trying for an empty space (which would be impossible, as there's a formula in that cell), use an error condition.
Use this formula, and copy down:
=IF(A1=0,NA(),A1)
This will return the error condition #NA! and Excel will leave the column blank
The other way would be to have a dynamic range for the chart data - I have a chart that will adjust to 5,6 or 7 days, depending on the data returned for the week. The Horizontal (Category) Axis Labels is set to a named range (='Sample.xlsx'!LastWeekRange) and the range checks the data, and returns the appropriate number of cells.
LastWeekRange is defined in Name Manager as =OFFSET(Data!$A$3,0,0,IF(Data!$F$9>0,7,IF(Data!$F$8>0,6,5))), which returns A3:A7 if there's nothing in F8, A3:A8 if there is something in F8 but not in F9, and A3:A9 if there is something in F9.
