Via VB.Net, is there any way to access the AutoSum feature that Excel has? I have a spreadsheet that I create and populate via a datatable using my application. I know how to sum based upon a predefined range (e.g., .cells(cnt + 1, 21).Formula = "=Sum(U3:U" & cnt & ")") but is there any way that I can just call a cell in my worksheet and have it AutoSum as if I was clicking the AutoSum button in Excel for that row? This would save me a lot of coding time based upon the logic my spreadsheet is going to need. Thanks for any help.
So are you trying to put the result of the sum of the complete row in the cells? Or do you want to put the formula "autosum" on the excel?
Either way you can do it by selecting that particular cell and then typing in the corresponding command on the value or formula field of that cell.

So i am currently using Visual Studio to create a application that takes info out of an excel sheet and then does some calculations on the data and then pushes back to excel.
This bit i have managed to do but the bit i am struggling on is using a 'Parameters' sheet. I want to be able to enter a formula into a cell in one sheet of the workbook and then paste that formula into another sheet but to have it updating,e.g. as the cells go down the formula changes like it would in excel. I used a manual work around by hard coding the formula and then having variable as the row number, however i want to be able to just change the formula in the excel sheet and then when the code runs it applies to the rest.
Currently i have tried saving the cell value/text into a variable and then making the new cells equal that variable, however this then applies the same identical formula to the whole of the column(All required rows).
What i am currently trying to do is paste the variable into the top row and then copy and paste that cell down to the last one,
I have tried making the variable a formula but it evaluates the formula before it is equal to the variable and therefore just sets all the new cells to the formula answer, so i changed the cell to be text instead which then meant the formula did appear in the new cell however it was the identical formula for all cells.
The copy code works as below
bjExcel.cells(rown, colval) = param1
objExcel.cells(rown, colval).copy
This is working fine
But when i use the below the paste won't work
Do Until rown = 10
objExcel.cells(rown, colval).copy
rown = rown + 1
objExcel.cells(rown, colval).paste
Paste is not a recognized with the error:
System.MissingMemberException: 'Public member 'Paste' on type
'ApplicationClass' not found.'
Could be you need to use PasteSpecial instead?

Depends on what you're using to interop with excel.
shWorkSheet.Range("C7:C7").Copy()
shWorkSheet.Range("V7:V7").PasteSpecial(Excel.XlPasteType.xlPasteAll)
I am trying to reference a cell in the below formulaes. 'AUA Summary'!$D$9 . Each time the macro runs a new column D is inserted.
The Problem: When the column is inserted my reference moves to **
'AUA Summary'!$E$9. How do I get to reference 'AUA Summary'!$D$9 even if a new cell is inserted using VBA. My formuleas are below.
=IF(ROUND((SUM('BLL UTADS'!$D:$D)-'AUA Summary'!$D$9)+
(SUM('BLL UTADS'!$E:$E)-'AUA Summary'!$D$15),2)=0,"OK",
"Balances don't tie on BLL UTADS to AUA Summary Sheet")
=IF((SUM('BLL Prestige'!$D:$D)-'AUA Summary'!$D$10)+
(SUM('BLL Prestige'!$E:$E)-'AUA Summary'!$D$16)=0,"OK",
"Balances don't tie on BLL Prestige to AUA Summary Sheet")
=IF((ROUND('AUA Detail'!$D$9+'AUA Detail'!$D$23-'AUA
Summary'!$D$11,1)+ROUND('AUA Detail'!$D$15+'AUA Detail'!$D$29-'AUA
Summary'!$D$17,1))=0,"OK","Check the Totals tie")
The issue is on the 'AUA Summary' Tab the reference keeps changing. I have tried a VBA recorder , but i keep getting the same issue.
Each of these formuleas will be in a Cell.
You can use Indirect()
For example
'AUA Summary'!$D$9
can be written as
INDIRECT("'AUA Summary'!$D$9")
This way even when the columns move, it will refer to the same cell.
The other way is to use Index
For example D9 in Excel 2007+ can be written as INDEX(1:1048576,9,4) or INDEX(INDIRECT("1:" & ROWS(A:A)),9,4) for any version of Excel
I have an excel macro that sets Cells to an external location.
Range(NamedReference) = "='http://webaddress/ExcelSheet.xlsx'!NamedReference
Other cells use that location to calculate new values.
"A1" = NamedReference + 1
The problem is that I need to read the new calculated values back into the macro to export data, but the external link has not yet been calculated to any value. It is a #NAME? until the macro is done running. Is there any way to force excel to get those values during the macro run time?
I have tried a variety of things including
Calculate
CalculateFull
Any help would be appreciated. My current solution is to just close the macro on error and have the user re run the macro, but it is really kludgey.
**Edit: Forgot equals sign in formula
You could try
ActiveWorkbook.UpdateLink Name:=ActiveWorkbook.LinkSources
See on MSDN
I'm writing a macro to pull various data from an Excel sheet and put it in a more usable order. A problem I've run into is that one section of the data I want is contained in a textbox. I'd like to pull the data out of the textbox and have it all pasted into a cell, A100.
The textbox is always called ActivityA.
try this
Cells(100, 1) = ActiveSheet.Shapes("NameOfYourTextBox").DrawingObject.Text
I've been using a crude method to help the user update some cells - by having them in a sheet. Is there any way I can display the various ranges in a userform, one by one, then have the user update them, click a button and move onto the next one?
Essentially, can I have Excel automatically generate an input form based on a range? The process of updating and saving back to the sheet I can do; it's the production of the correct form that I can't.
It's possible to do this, but the only way I can think of is to make a userform that automatically populates itself based on a range passed in. This way you could have different macros in Excel that call the form to populate based on different ranges. I built a proof of concept Excel file for trying this, and it seems to work, the only issue I can think of being that you need to figure out a way to tell the user what input field is what.
I think what needs to be done is to add controls programmatically to a userform (I name the textboxes as the cell address it's going to populate) then when the form is closed loop through all the textboxes and populate the cells with the textbox values.
You can see what I did at:
https://my.syncplicity.com/share/uicgbs3rl0/InputForm.xls
I think all that would need to be done is for you to work out how to add labels for the textboxes, and make sure the form is resized based on the controls you add...
I am not quite shure what you are looking for, but you could insert a second sheet and use it as a "form". An other way could be a dialog box with an input field.
Either way, you present the cells you want the user to change one by one, using a vba-function. You implement a "previous field" and a "next field" button, so the user can step through the range of cells. If the user hits "next field", you save his input and take the next cell from a previous defined range of cells.
You could have a "config field" in which you define the range of cells you want to change.
This is pretty rough and old-fashioned but if you have the data in standard list format - i.e. column headers in the first row of your range and then one record of data in each row below - then selecting a cell within the range and going Data > Form will give you a crude input form with roughly the functionality you need.
You can also do this in VBA by calling the ShowDataForm method of the appropriate worksheet. Just select a cell within whichever range you need first. The macro will remain paused until the user closes the data form
