Re: [ExcelVBA] Simplify Dynamic Range Code

Thank you for your prompt reply, Bob.

Your script (adapted to my sheet and column) gives this formula:

=OFFSET(CXR!$I$18,0,0,190,1)

where 190 is indeed the last row of the table, but this table will eventually be longer, so it is not exactly a dynamic name.

I am only surprised not to find any COUNTA .

For example, one of the names that I defined manually could look like this:

=OFFSET(CXR!$I$18,0,0,COUNTA(CXR!$I:$I),1)

(In fact it is different because I need only the non zero values, but I want to keep it simple here)

But it is fine, you've set me on the right path , and I have been able to adapt the script to my need.

The other thing that I did not understand in the code was that « cl » object.

Why define it as an object and not as a range?

Thank you,

Louise

Subject: [ExcelVBA] Simplify Dynamic Range Code

Hi dear group,

I have always created my dynamic ranged manually.
Now I would need to make it programmatically.

I have found following code, but there are so many syntax lines that I have never used

Am I too lazy? Or still too beginner?

I would like to see something simpler:
Create a dynamic name on only one sheet for only one column, but I am not sure what to take off.
I guess I would need only the code between:
If cl.Value <> "" Then
...
End If

What is this object named cl?
Is it essential?
Thanks in advance

Louise

Sub Create_RangeNames()
'This creates range names based on header row information
Dim wbk As Workbook
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim rng, rng2 As Range
Dim cl As Object
Dim c As Long
Dim strAddr As Variant
Dim strShName, strHdrName, strCol As String

Set wbk = ActiveWorkbook
For Each sht In wbk.Sheets
c = sht.Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Column
Set rng = sht.Range("A1", sht.Range("A1").Offset(0, c))
For Each cl In rng
If cl.Value <> "" Then
strShName = Replace(sht.Name, " ", "_", 1)
strHdrName = Replace(cl.Value, " ", "_", 1)
strAddr = Split(cl.Address, "$")
strCol = "$" & strAddr(1) & ":$" & strAddr(1)
Set rng2 = sht.Range(cl, cl.End(xlDown))
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:=strShName & strHdrName, _
RefersTo:="=OFFSET('" & sht.Name & "'!" & cl.Address & ",0,0,COUNTA('" & _
sht.Name & "'!" & strCol & "),1)"
End If
Next cl
Next sht

End Sub
