- Hi,
-
- I'm new to this group and am looking for some excel guru's to ask
- questions of. Here's a basic description of what I am trying to do and
- if anyone thinks they may be able to give me a hand I would appreciate
- it.
-
- I am using Excel 4.0 for Windows. I've set up a workbook (.xlw) that
- contains (at least) four files. One is a macro sheet that contains all
- the macros that I need to use, cmodel.xlm, the second is a database of
- parts, parts.xls, the third is the spreadsheet that the user wants
- filled out, product.xls, and the fourth is just a README file to give
- some info on what the workbook does and to use it.
-
- The basic mode of operation is that the user will list a sequence of
- numbers in column A of the worksheet, and then run a macro that copies
- a series of formulas across the row based on the "class" of the number
- (e.g. 0, <1000, <10000), then takes the actual number and goes out to
- the database worksheet and extracts some data that relates to that
- specific part.
-
- One problem I am running into now is that the formulas may depend on
- something like a tax rate, so I would like to define that as a defined
- name and then the formula would be something like say
- F23*Tax_Rate. What I am finding is that each time it copies that
- formula in, it askes me if I want to use the existing definition of
- that named variable. If there are 30-100 such lines and several such
- variables it drives one crazy.
-
- So if you have experience writing macros in excel and would be willing
- to answer some questions, please let me know. If you are willing/able
- to respond to emailed questions or take a phone call, please let me
- know.
-
- Thanks in advance.
