What VBA function returns cell 2 from which cell 1 gets its value?
This is a simple and possibly embarrassing question. In Excel 2002 SP3, cell 1 is on ProfitSheet and depends on cell 2, on a different sheet. Cell 1 has a UDF, so it looks like: "=MassageData(SalesSheet!$A$1)" Given that I know cell 1 at runtime, what VBA function returns cell 2? I have tried: Set Cel2 = Cel1.Precedents(1) Set Cel2 = Cel1.Precedents.Cells(1, 1) etc. but that only seems to return Cel1 itself (at least that's what the Debug Window shows). 1) Is my syntax wrong? 2) Is Excel's lack of external dependent/precedent functionality in my old version, the reason? 3) If so, has that un-feature ever been fixed? I guess I could manually remove the UDF and do: Set Cel2 = Range(StripTheEqualSignAndUDFFrom(Cel1.Formula)) or maybe this sickness (if I have the syntax right): Set Cel2 = Application.WorksheetFunction.INDIRECT(StripDitto(Cel1.Formula)) But what's the simple way that's staring me in the face? Thanks much. ***

If your formula is as simple as you show (only one range reference), then
the answer is probably as simple as this...
.ShowPrecedents
Set Cel2= Cel1.NavigateArrow(False, 1, 1)
.ShowPrecedents True
If you have other range references in your formula, and especially if those
references are for multiple sheets, then the code gets more complicated as
the 2nd and 3rd arguments have to account for them.

Cel1.Precedents.Select will activate a range which is the union of cells appearing in the formula (Excel 2007). If you have trace arrows showing on your sheet then NavigateArrow will allow you to select a particular one to follow.

As far as I know, that will only work for Precedent cells on the same worksheet as the cell (Cel1 in this case)... Precedents will not work on cells referencing other sheets. The only way I know to do that is how I showed in my post... show the precedent arrows, then use NavigateArrow to find the cell on the foreign sheet that you want and the turn the arrows off. The code for this can get complicated if there are several cells on other sheets, especially if there are multiple other sheets involved. -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "pbart" <pbart@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:585812DF-6C7F-47D1-9343-777F2226D0AE@microsoft.com... > Cel1.Precedents.Select > > will activate a range which is the union of cells appearing in the formula > (Excel 2007). > > If you have trace arrows showing on your sheet then NavigateArrow will > allow > you to select a particular one to follow. > > > > "Ron Rosenfeld" wrote: > >> On Tue, 23 Mar 2010 22:10:08 -0700 (PDT), Jim Luedke <baobob@my-deja.com> >> wrote: >> >> >This is a simple and possibly embarrassing question. >> > >> >In Excel 2002 SP3, cell 1 is on ProfitSheet and depends on cell 2, on >> >a different sheet. >> > >> >Cell 1 has a UDF, so it looks like: >> > >> >"=MassageData(SalesSheet!$A$1)" >> > >> >Given that I know cell 1 at runtime, what VBA function returns cell 2? >> > >> >I have tried: >> > >> >Set Cel2 = Cel1.Precedents(1) >> >Set Cel2 = Cel1.Precedents.Cells(1, 1) >> >etc. >> > >> >but that only seems to return Cel1 itself (at least that's what the >> >Debug Window shows). >> > >> >1) Is my syntax wrong? >> > >> >2) Is Excel's lack of external dependent/precedent functionality in my >> >old version, the reason? >> > >> >3) If so, has that un-feature ever been fixed? >> > >> >I guess I could manually remove the UDF and do: >> > >> >Set Cel2 = Range(StripTheEqualSignAndUDFFrom(Cel1.Formula)) >> > >> >or maybe this sickness (if I have the syntax right): >> > >> >Set Cel2 = >> >Application.WorksheetFunction.INDIRECT(StripDitto(Cel1.Formula)) >> > >> >But what's the simple way that's staring me in the face? >> > >> >Thanks much. >> > >> >*** >> >> For the address, perhaps: >> >> rg.Precedents.Worksheet.Name & "!" & rg.Precedents.Address >> >> --ron >> . >>

Rick You are right; my apologies! A different strand of thinking could be to cheat and record the address of predecessor cell (SalesSheet!$A$1) as a string on ProfitSheet at the time the data is set up; the string could be used in the formula "=MassageData(INDIRECT(Cel3)) much as one would a database 'foreign key'. I would only suggest this as a potential solution if it fits well into the spirit of the workbook in question.

VBA code to say Yes or No if any VBA code is present in ActiveWork
Using XL 2003 & 97 Would like hit Ctrl+Shift+V and have an answer either yes or no as to the presence of Any VBA code in the Active Workbook. I do know that about the VBA editor/Explorer or to press the Run Macro button and get a list from various sources . I would like to stay at the keyboard and process a series of macros including one to let me know if I even need to evoke the VBA explorer.
