I am trying to get a vlookup with mouse-over to work, however I am having
difficulty assigning a Global Variable, and cannot identify what variables to declare. My situation: data.xls - Columns A:B hold the vlookup information report.xls - is the file I want to apply this macro to, so that when I right click on a value in Column A it will look into the data.xls file and return the value in a popup. I need to define the range variable (I assumed the range variable was the €śTheCell€ť but I also see €śDataElements€ť and €śLookupRange€ť €“ are these all variables that need to be defined?) within report.xls. My previous attempt was: Sub RVariable() Dim TheCell As Range TheCell = A: D End Sub I have a feeling I should not be using a sub, as the macro above does not call to it - I am a novice with VB and usually work backwards from a finished product so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Code taken from previous response: Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target As Range, _ Cancel As Boolean) Dim obj As Object Set TheCell = Target For Each obj In Application.CommandBars("cell").Controls If obj.Tag = "HereIsYourItem" Then obj.Delete Next obj If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("DataElements")) _ Is Nothing Then With Application.CommandBars("cell").Controls _ .Add(Type:=msoControlButton, befo=6, _ temporary:=True) .Caption = "See The Definition" .OnAction = "HereIsYourMacro" .Tag = "HereIsYourItem" End With End If End Sub 'In the separate module: Option Explicit Public TheCell As Range Sub HereIsYourMacro() MsgBox Evaluate("=VLOOKUP(""" & TheCell.Value & """,LookupRange,2)") End Sub |
