The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How Can I Change a Cell Reference When Inserting a Formula in a Cell Through VBA?

Asked by Rex85 in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: Microsoft Excel 2007

I am using VBA to insert the following formula in a cell.

="CAR REQ "&TEXT(NOW(),"yy")&" "&TEXT(ROW(A1),"00000")

The code looks for the next available row and inputs the data, including inserting this formula, in that row.

If I use the above formula, I will always get Row A1 info returned. I need that cell reference to be dynamic. That is, instead of always being A1, I need it to reference the cell where it is being placed. If that the next available row is A200, then it shoud be A200. Can anyone tell me the best way to achieve that?

Below is the statement that inserts the formula

CorrectSheet_String is the variable for the worsheet where the data will be place. NextRowtoPasteDate is the cell where the formula will be placed. 

1:
2:
3:
4:
5:
6:
7:
8:

'After Determining the Correct Worksheet Above, Now Select the Next Available Row
    
Application.GoTo Reference:=CorrectSheet_String.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0), Scroll:=True
    ActiveCell.Activate
    ActiveCell.Select
    Set NextRowToPasteDate = Selection
 
CorrectSheet_String.NextRowToPasteDate.Formula = "CAR REQ " & Text(Now(), "yy") & " " & Text(Row(A1), "00000")
