Thank you Bob,
The code that you now gives me is very close to the one that I wrote my-self, and is OK most of the time.
(the line:
lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, COLUMN_RANGE).End(xlUp).Row
is not needed anymore)
I have written another one that gets only the non zero values, because I need these dynamic ranges for charts that must also be dynamic and stop at the last non zero value.
As for cl, this is the conclusion that I had come to.
It was used because the original script was meant to create on name for each column of a table, and cl was getting the headers to set the names.
So I did not really need it.
I guess I was very tired when I asked for help, because I should have been able to figure it all on my own.
But you helped me a lot in not getting discouraged.
Thanks again,
Regards,
Louise
You are right Louise, that was remiss of me. My solution would create a formula that encapsulated all of your range, but was not dynamic in the sense that it would not accommodate your range changing.
This is better, with a COUNTA
Sub Create_RangeNames()
Const NAME_DYNAMIC_RANGE As String = "MyName" '<======== change to suit
Const SHEET_NAME As String = "Sheet1" '<======== change to suit
Const COLUMN_RANGE As String = "D" '<======== change to suit
Dim lastrow As Long
With ActiveWorkbook
With .Worksheets(SHEET_NAME)
lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, COLUMN_RANGE).End(xlUp).Row
.Names.Add Name:="MyName", RefersTo:="=OFFSET('" & SHEET_NAME & "'!$" & COLUMN_RANGE & "$1,0,0,COUNTA($" & COLUMN_RANGE & ":$" & COLUMN_RANGE & "),1)"
End With
End With
End Sub
I didn't use cl in my solution, and I don't know why it was declared as object not range, but remember that a range is a type of object, so object whilst not ideal will work okay.
Bob
Thank you for your prompt reply, Bob.
Your script (adapted to my sheet and column) gives this formula:
=OFFSET(CXR!$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:$I),1)
(In fact it is different because I need only the non zero values, but I want to keep it simple here)
But it is fine, you've set me on the right path , and I have been able to adapt the script to my need.
The other thing that I did not understand in the code was that « cl » object.
Why define it as an object and not as a range?
Const NAME_DYNAMIC_RANGE As String = "MyName" '<======== change to suit
Const SHEET_NAME As String = "Sheet4" '<======== change to suit
Const COLUMN_RANGE As String = "D" '<======== change to suit
With .Worksheets(SHEET_NAME)
lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, COLUMN_RANGE).End(xlUp).Row
.Names.Add Name:="MyName", RefersTo:="=OFFSET('" & SHEET_NAME & "'!$" & COLUMN_RANGE & "$1,0,0," & lastrow & ",1)"
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
