How to find Cell that contains a Range in Word VBA - vba

In Word VBA I have a reference to a Range that is contained withing a table cell.
How can I get a reference to the containing cell (the innermost cell if there are nested tables)?
What I'm trying to achieve is to find the cell containing my range, then move to the next adjacent cell.

This worked for me:
Debug.Print rng.Cells(1).Next.Range.Text

Blank cells in matrix take on average of surrounding cells in Excel

I have a matrix of numbers in excel that contains several blank cells. The numbers correspond to the clay level in the ground, as indicated by a borehole in that position. I am using the cells as a grid to represent a map. I want to replace the blank cells with an average of all of the cells which surround it. How do I do this? I keep getting circular reference errors when I try to do it.
1) Use a proxy range: Create a duplicate range and have that refer to the original. The named range here is F5:H6
For above the range on the left (F5:H6) is called namedRange and the blank cell in the duplicate range on the right uses Average(namedRange) to populate the value.
To add a named range , select your range and then add the name via the name manager .
OR
2) Use VBA
With VBA using the same named range (code in a standard module - replace activesheet with your sheetname) :
Option Explicit
Sub test()
With ActiveSheet.Range("namedRange")
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks) = Application.WorksheetFunction.Average(.Value)
End With
End Sub

Loop and Add Range in a place holder

Hello,
First of all, thanks for everyone who's helped me with my previous concern. I have another loop issue though. What I'm trying to do is store a certain range on a place holder and use for Charts. My code loops through column A to check cells that contain Product/URL and if found, will offset to the next column and will store the range highlighted on a place holder.
What I was able to do so far is to just select the cell with content in-line with cell with Product/URL. Here's my code so far.
Dim ProdCell as Range
For Each ProdCell in [A:A].SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
If Not IsEmpty(Prodcell) and Prodcell.Cells.Value = [A1] Then
ProdCell.Offset(0,1).Cells.End(xlToRight).Select
End if
Next ProdCell
I believe that if I can find a way to highlight the range using VBA coding, I will be able to loop through it. Please help.

Macro to find and delete column based on cell value

I have two sheets in an Excel workbook. I would like a VBA code to search for the content of cell J19 in Sheet2 and delete the column with the matching cell in Sheet1. I have been searching all around Google to look for some VBA codes, but I haven't found anything yet that works.
Does anybody here know how to do this? I have zero experience in VBA.
You could try this code to perform such a task.
Sub FindMatchAndThenDeleteColumn()
FindContent = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("J19")
For Each Cell In Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.Cells
If Cell.Value = FindContent Then Columns(Cell.Column).Delete
Next
End Sub
Put the code above in your workbook's module. Note that FindContent and Cell are randomly chosen here, you can use any names. I use
For Each Cell In Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.Cells
to loop through every cell that is in use in Sheet1. It will check everything in the range from cell A1 to the last cell with data (the bottom right-most cell). If the content of cell J19 is a text, you can declare the variable FindContent as a String type, i.e. Dim FindContent As String. If it's a number, you can declare it as a Long type or a Single type or any number type that fits the content. Here I don't declare it which means it defaulting to a Variant type. And since you're a beginner in VBA, you may learn it from Excel Easy. Hope this helps.

Working with merge and center cells in Excel using VBA

If I take a range over merge and centered cells in excel, are each of them addressed as single cells or the group of cells constituting them? For example, if the cells A1 to A10 are merged and I do a
Worksheets(1).Range("A5")
Would this return the range of a single cell among those constituting the merged cell or a range consisting the merged cell itself? And what value would it contain if I get its value?
In other words, how would you represent range over merged cells in excel VBA?
Also, how can I get the range of the non merged cells adjacent to the length of this merged cell?
In other words, how would you represent range over merged cells in excel VBA?
By addressing it with the top left cell. Ex: "A1" in this case.
When in doubt, check it yourself first. If still in doubt, search google or whatever search engine you use. Still if something is unclear, ask :)
Would this return the range of a single cell among those constituting the merged cell or a range consisting the merged cell itself? And what value would it contain if I get its value?
It would return a single cell A5 which doesn't have anything in it because when you merge cells the data from the top left cell is kept and rest discarded. The reason why I say discarded is that if you now unmerge the cells, you will not get your values back.
Best way to check:
Let's say A1 to A10 had 1,2,3..10. Merge them. The cell will now have only 1
Try this in Immediate window
?Range("A5").Value
You will get nothing. Similarly if you want to write to it, you cannot use Range("A5").Value = "Blah". You have to address it with the top left cell. For example
Range("A1").Value = "Blah"

How do I increment cell in Excel VBA script?

I have a data in excel which I want to make a VBA script to copy it into a new worksheet but in a different way.
For example, I have this in sheet1 in A1~A3 cells.
Adam(A1)
Sam(A2)
Smith(A3)
I want to use these cells and create the following in another worksheet using refedit control.
Adam(A1)
Adam(A2)
Adam(A3)
Adam(A4)
Sam(A5)
Sam(A6)
Sam(A7)
Sam(A8)
Smith(A9)
Smith(A10)
Smith(A11)
Smith(A12)
I have refedit control in place in VBA script, but I'm not sure how to increment cell numbers to make it copy and paste into a new worksheet. I would like to use refedit control so that I can assign any cells and make it copy and repeat itself. How do I do this in VBA script?
Check out the Range Rows, Cells, and Address properties. This should help. Your question is too vague for a direct answer.
(This will get you started.)
Range.Row Property
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb221550(office.12).aspx
Returns the number of the first row of the first area in the range. Read-only Long.
Example
For Each rw In Worksheets("Sheet1").Rows
If rw.Row Mod 2 = 0 Then
rw.RowHeight = 4
End If
Next rw
To increment cells in Excel VBA, you can use the Offset-property of the Range-object, e.g.
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 1).Select
will select the cell one row down and one column to the right of the active cell.
To add to Geoffrey's answer about active cell - it would also require that you activate the sheet you are looking to input your values if it is a different sheet from the one that is currently active. Additionally you would have to activate a cell to use activecell and the activecell offset property.
For example
'Activates the name of the sheet you would like to activate
Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
'Activates cell A1
Range("A1").Activate
'Activates cell one row down, one column right
ActiveCell.Offset(1,1).Select
'if current sheet is not activate you just do Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").Activate
The offset property of ActiveCell refers to other cells based off of the current active cell.
For example-
Offset(row,column) -
First Argument -Positive values as the first argument refer you to rows below the current active cell and Negative values refer you to rows above the current active cell
Second Argument-Positive values as the second argument refer you to columns right of the current active cell and Negative values refer you to columns left the current active cell
