Hello All,
I am using Excel 2007 and have a following problem. I have several hundred cols of Data with variable entries. for eg City Town State ... ...... ...... ...... .... Dubai Karama UAE Sharjah Rolla Ajman The macro when run should create range name for all active area in the sheet (until the last col) using the Header Row (eg. City, Town, State, ...., ......., ......., .........). The following code downloaded from www.contextures.com creates range name but it includes the blank also. As my data is of variable range I need the Named Ranges till the last entry in the column only (eg City should have Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman & Town should have Karama, Rolla, State should be UAE only .......and so on) Sub CreateNames() 'http://www.contextures.com/xlNames03.html ' written by Roger Govier, Technology4U Dim wb As Workbook, ws As Worksheet Dim lrow As Long, lcol As Long, i As Long Dim myName As String, Start As String ' set the row number where headings are held as a constant ' change this to the row number required if not row 1 Const Rowno = 1 ' set the Offset as the number of rows below Rowno, where the ' data begins Const Offset = 1 ' set the starting column for the data, in this case 1 ' change if the data does not start in column A Const Colno = 1 On Error GoTo CreateNames_Error Set wb = ActiveWorkbook Set ws = ActiveSheet ' count the number of columns used in the row designated to ' have the header names lcol = ws.Cells(Rowno, 1).End(xlToRight).Column lrow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, Colno).End(xlUp).Row Start = Cells(Rowno, Colno).Address wb.Names.Add Name:="lcol", _ RefersTo:="=COUNTA($" & Rowno & ":$" & Rowno & ")" wb.Names.Add Name:="lrow", _ RefersToR1C1:="=COUNTA(C" & Colno & ")" wb.Names.Add Name:="myData", RefersTo:= _ "=" & Start & ":INDEX($1:$65536," & "lrow," & "Lcol)" For i = Colno To lcol ' if a column header contains spaces, ' replace the space with an underscore ' spaces are not allowed in range names. myName = Replace(Cells(Rowno, i).Value, " ", "_") If myName = "" Then ' if column header is blank, warn the user and ' stop the macro at that point ' names will only be created for those cells with text in them. MsgBox "Missing Name in column " & i & vbCrLf _ & "Please Enter a Name and run macro again" Exit Sub End If wb.Names.Add Name:=myName, RefersToR1C1:= _ "=R" & Rowno + Offset & "C" & i & ":INDEX(C" & i & ",lrow)" nexti: Next i On Error GoTo 0 MsgBox "All dynamic Named ranges have been created" Exit Sub CreateNames_Error: MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & " (" & Err.Description & _ ") in procedure CreateNames of Module Technology4U" End Sub Can someone help me on this please?
