Accessing data stored in the worksheet (named range) in .xla file
Hi,
I'm really not skilled in programming, just what i need for engineering applications. I have this spreadsheet with macros and named ranges that i use to achieve the unit conversion (meters to feet, kilogram to pund, etc,etc). I want to have the access to the functions in this spreadsheet from several other workbooks that also performs calculations. So I thought on conveting my units conversion workbook to an add in, by saving it as .xla The problem is that i can not access the named ranges stored in the worksheets or see them if i do that. I do not want to loose the flexibility of adding units and conversion factors in the units conversion worksheet. The validation of the units entered is also important. Any Ideas? |

You should be able to use the named ranges by using
ThisWorkbook.Range("YourNameHere"). As for not being able to see them, you can always jump into the VBE and change the AddIn property of your file to False. That will make the workbook visible in your Excel app. Then, oncce completed making changes, etc, simply set the property back to true. Also, the Analysis ToolPak, when installed, adds a CONVERT function that allows you to convert from one measurement system to another. Might be worth checking into. noiseberg wrote: Hi, I'm really not skilled in programming, just what i need for engineering applications.
