Help Please: Syntax Problem
 

Hello everyone,

I'm quite new with VB; I've had experience with other programmin
languages though.

For this line:

Dim UniqueCount As Integer
UniqueCount = "=ROWS(R5C1:R" & LastRow2 & "C1)"

I know that I cannot automatically assign UniqueCount the value of tha
formula. How would I format the line such that I can indeed assig
UniqueCount the row value of that line? Thank you in advance

Hey - welcome to the fun.

You can access most of the Excel worksheet formulae with
application.worksheetfunction. However, Rows isn't one of them. Fortunately,
VBA has its own equivalent.

UniqueCount = Range("A5:A" & LastRow2).Rows.Count

You can't use Excel functions in VBA like that. VBA is a complete
programming language in it's own right. To do what you want you could use
the worksheetfuntion object. However, since you are using relative
referencing I can't see the ranges you want to put in there.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

How about something like this then?




Dim UniqueCount As Integer

UniqueCount
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(R[3]C[-4]:R[296]C[-4],R[3]C[-4]:R[296]C[-4]))




Right now it is telling me it is a syntax error and that I am assigning
a wrong type. Thanks.

Yes, I thought so. Could you please provide me with a sample coding of
how it would work using some arbitrarily chosen range? Perhaps
something like A1:A5 for example. Thank you.
