I have one sheet of raw data with several columns and thousands of rows.
I need to process this and I wanted to put the results on a separate sheet
with several columns and dozens of rows when done. I saw some example
code where it seemed you could do this as long as you qualified the sheet
path but doing what I think is the same thing is not working. Also I
would like to minimize the full paths I have to use or minimize activations
when going back and forth from one sheet to the other to get data, process,
then store data which will have to be done thousands and thousands of
times. So part of the question is can you set path references that can be
used to minimize the typing volume and readability?
But first I need to know why I can not get this most basic initialization
to work If I interactively select sheet ChartData (it is not an excel
chart just a name) then the first initialization works but not the one for
Results and visa versa. I have stripped out unnecessary columns for
simplicity. I tried both with and without activating sheet Results but get
the error
"Unable to get results of the match property class" for the ReverseDate
assignment line no matter what I do. Also tried the names with and
without quotes to no difference.
If in the interface I select sheet Results then the error occurs on the
Stopval assignment line.
' Column reference objects
Public Stopval As Double
'
Public ReverseDate As Double
' Sheet names
Const ChartData As String = "ChartData"
Const Results As String = "Results"
Sub InitRefs()
'
' Macro which sets the data column names and misc values for the sheets
'
With Sheets(ChartData)
Stopval = .Application.WorksheetFunction.Match("Stopval",
Rows("1:1"), 0)
End With
' Sheets("Results").Activate
' With Sheets(Results)
' ReverseDate = .Application.WorksheetFunction.Match("ReverseDate",
Rows("1:1"), 0)
' End With
End Sub
