how to add (plus) to a cell using a textbox - excel

i need to add a number to textbox for everytime a specific item that was used to a cell in excel using vb. For example, for everytime the word "Time" is selected from the combobox1, it must add 1 to cell B2. and if "Time" is selected again. it must add 1 again to cell B2. Then cell B2 must have "2" in it
ive tried this, but it doesnt seem to work:
Dim Scrap As String
Scrap = ComboBox1.Text
Select Case Scrap
Case "Aluminium"
worksheet2.Cells(4, 3) = +AmountBox.Text
worksheet2.Cells(4, 4) = +KiloBox.Text
worksheet2.Cells(4, 2) = +1 'adds 1 for each time this type of scrap is used
end select

Dim Temp as Integer = CInt(worksheet2.Cells(4, 2).Value)
Temp += 1
worksheet2.Cells(4, 2).Value = Temp
Try something like this
This as well can do it:
worksheet2.Cells(4, 2) = (worksheet2.Cells(4, 2).Value + 1)

Condesing and deleting information from an Excel macros

I am working with a VB macro. Essentially what I am trying to do is for the macros to read the input and first determine whether or not a cells ID number matches the one in the row. Example: If row 1 has an ID of 1122 and rows 2,3,4 and 5 all match, I want the macro to read that and create a count in the NbrOfA cell. Once it realizes that there is not an ID match it moves on to the next ID and looks for matches of that ID number and continues to create a count. While it is doing this, I also need it to read from another column that has specific strings such as "open", "closed" ect. read that input, and create a separate row titled NbrofOpenA. Once it runs out of data, I then want to have a singular cell that shows the number of actions (NbrOfA) that match the ID number as well as the number of open actions (NbrOfOpenA).
Currently I receive the error: “compile error: sub or function not defined” highlighting the Set Cell(Sheet2.Cells(FirstRowOfI, 23) = NbrOfA
Attached in the excel sheet attached it shows 2 cells deleted. They will not actually be deleted, just wanted to give an idea of what I was looking for
Sub ACount()
Dim FirstRowofI
Dim NbrOfA as Integer
Dim NbrOfOpenA as Integer
Row = 2
Set FirstRowofI = (Sheet2.Cells.Range(Row, 14))
NbrOfA = 0
NbrOfOpenA = 0
If (Sheet2.Cells(Row, 14).Value <> "") Then
NbrOfA = 1
If (Sheet2.Cells(Row, 22) <> "Closed") Then
NbrOfOpenA = 1
Set Row = FirstRowofI
Row = Row + 1
Do While (Sheet2.Cells(Row, 14) = (Sheet2.Cells(FirstRowofI, 14)))
NbrOfOpenA = NbrOfOpenA + 1
If (Sheet2.Cells(Row, 22) <> "Closed" Then
NbrOfOpenA = NbrOfOpenA + 1
Range(Row).EntireRow.Delete
Return
End If
Set Cell(Sheet2.Cells(FirstRowofI, 23)) = NbrOfA
Set Cell(Sheet2.Cells(FirstRowofI, 24)) = NbrOfOpenA
Loop
End Sub

Do you need VBA? You can easily achieve what you're looking for with formulas, heck even a Pivot Table! Here's an example with formulas:

Favorites List using VBA

I am trying to create a favorites list using a loop. I created a combobox with different options, and a ActiveX Command button to execute the code. Right now when you press the enter button, all 10 cells are filled with whatever is currently selected in the combobox. I only want one cell to be filled at a time per combobox selection.
Dim x As Integer
For x = 8 To 18
Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(x, 19).Value = ComboBox1.Value
Next x
If you want to add the value to the first empty cell only, you can just check if it is empty first with an IF. And then exit the loop once a value has been added, so that you don't fill up all the empty ones.
Would something like this work perhaps?
Dim x As Integer
For x = 8 To 18
if Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(x, 19).Value = "" Then
Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(x, 19).Value = ComboBox1.Value
Exit For
end if
Next x

Excel VBA: Dynamically Changing Function Based on Column

Heylo, I am trying to write an excel function that takes a user-selected range and performs different calculations based on the column the cell being populated lines up with. The screenshot below shows the setup of the columns.
I want to set AA5 to be "=myFunction($AA1:$AD4)", and then I want click-and-drag to use the autofill feature to populate AB5, AC5, and AD5 with the same "=myFunction($AA1:$AD4)" but this myFunction will do different things based on which cell is being populated during the autofill.
I know how to do this in a subroutine where the user would select the first open cell AA5, and is prompted for the range to use for calculations. I would do something along the lines of:
Sub CalcCells()
Dim myRange As Range
Set myRange = Application.InputBox("Select the cells you want to use...", Type:=8)
Dim numColumn As Long
For numColumn = 0 To myRange.Columns.Count - 1
Select Case numColumn
Case Is = 0
ActiveCell.Offset(0, numColumn).Formula = "=SUM(" + myRange.Columns(1) + ")"
Case Is = 1
ActiveCell.Offset(0, numColumn).Formula = "=SUMPRODUCT(" + myRange.Columns(1) + "," + myRange.Columns(2) + ")"
Case Is = 2
ActiveCell.Offset(0, numColumn).Formula = "=SUMPRODUCT(" + myRange.Columns(1) + "," + myRange.Columns(3) + ")/SUM(" + myRange.Columns(1) + ")"
Case Is = 3
ActievCell.Offset(0, numColumn).Formula = "=SUMSQ(" + myRange.Columns(4) + ")"
End Select
Next numColumn
End Sub
So basically I want to do exactly this, but I want it to be a function that when I click and drag and autofill AB5:AD5 it knows which column the cell lines up with and performs a calculation based on that, and uses it as an argument/parameter almost. It will not always be 4 rows either, so it needs to be capable of accommodating varying row counts, but the .Columns should work with that as long as the user selects only the same datatype.
Is this possible and how can I do it? Thank you for any help in advance. I've done a lot of searching and I don't know if I'm not searching the right way, but i cannot find anything that really helps.
What about something like this? Basically, you get the column of the cell you enter the formula into with Application.Caller.Column. Then inputRange.Column gives you the leftmost column of your input range. Based on the difference of the two, you know which worksheet function you want to use. If the difference is 0, your formula is entered in the 1st column, so you use Sum. If the difference is 1, you use Sumproduct, and so on.
Function SummarizeCells(inputRange As Range) As Double
Dim col As Long
col = Application.Caller.Column - inputRange.Column
Select Case col
Case 0
SummarizeCells = WorksheetFunction.Sum(inputRange.Columns(1))
Case 1
SummarizeCells = WorksheetFunction.SumProduct(inputRange.Columns(1), inputRange.Columns(2))
Case 2
SummarizeCells = WorksheetFunction.SumProduct(inputRange.Columns(1), inputRange.Columns(3)) / WorksheetFunction.Sum(inputRange.Columns(1))
Case 3
SummarizeCells = WorksheetFunction.SumSq(inputRange.Columns(4))
End Select
End Function

How can I include a hyperlink to a cell in another sheet?

I would like to make the text displayed to become a hyperlink that will take you to the sheet and cell when the text displayed is selected.
What am I doing incorrectly?
Thank you in advance,
If wb.sheets("Coversheet").Cells(lastRowC, 8) <> WS.Cells(i, 5) Then
wb.sheets("Coversheet").Cells(lastRowC + 1, 2) = "Carrier"
wb.sheets("Coversheet").Cells(lastRowC + 1, 3) = "Employee with a $0 salary found. Unable to calculate salary based benefits. Please rerun Census report"
wb.sheets("Coversheet").Cells(lastRowC + 1, 4) = WS.Cells(i, 4).Hyperlinks(1).Address
End If
I would simply do that in your case to create the hyperlink. It's flexible and easy to manipulate.
Dim hyperlinkLocation As String
hyperlinkLocation = "[ActiveWorkBook.Name"&".xls]1!A1" '<- 1 is the sheet index (important in your case)
ActiveWorkSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=.(where the link is), Address:=hyperlinkLockation, _
TextToDisplay:=(name of the link)

How to display multiple values in a single cell in Excel

I'm am relatively familiar with Excel and its functions, but am very new to VBA (I do however have background in MATLAB and C). Basically what I have is a sheet with a different machine populating each column header and a name of an employee populating the first column. The table contains text values of either "Train", indicating that the person in that row is trained on the equipment in the specified column, or "No", indicating that they are not. What I want to do is to make a separate sheet that has the Equipment in the first column and one column headered as "Trained". Each cell will theoretically be populated with the names of the people who are trained on the equipment for that row. I have a for loop code in VBA that successfully outputs the names into the immediate window
Function Train(Data As Range, Name As Range)
For Counter = 1 To Data.Rows.Count
If Data(Counter, 1).Value = "Train" Then
'Debug.Print Name(Counter, 1)
End If
Next Counter
End Function
but I have been unable in a few hours of searching to figure out how to display these values in a single cell. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!
You have to choose if you want to do "For each person, for each machine", or "for each machine, for each person" first. Let say you want to go with the second idea, you could go with this pseudo code:
set wsEmployee = Worksheets("EmployeeSheet")
set wsEmployee = Worksheets("MachineSheet")
'Clear MachineSheet and add headers here
xEmployee = 2
yMachine = 2
do while (wsEmployee.Cells(1, xEmployee).Value <> "") 'or your loop way here
yEmployee = 2
trained = ""
do while (wsEmployee.Cells(yEmployee, 1).Value <> "") 'or your loop way here
if (wsEmployee.Cells(yEmployee, xEmployee).Value = "Trained") then
trained = trained & wsEmployee.Cells(yEmployee, 1).Value & ", "
end if
yEmployee = yEmployee + 1
loop
'remove the last , in the trained string
wsMachine.Cells(yMachine, 1).Value = wsEmployee.Cells(1, xEmployee).Value
wsMachine.Cells(yMachine, 2).Value = trained
yMachine = yMachine + 1
xEmployee = xEmployee + 1
loop
That's the basic idea. For better performances, I would do all these operation in some arrays and paste them in one operation.
Use the concatenation operator (&) to assemble the values into a string:
Dim names as String
names = ""
For Counter = 1 To Data.Rows.Count
If Data(Counter, 1).Value = "Train" Then
If counter = 1 Then
names = names & Name(counter, 1)
Else
names = names & "," & Name(counter, 1)
End If
End If
Next Counter
Then just place names in whatever cell you want.
