Some examples of how to avoid select
Use Dim
'd variables
Dim rng as Range
Set
the variable to the required range. There are many ways to refer to a single-cell range:
Set rng = Range("A1")
Set rng = Cells(1, 1)
Set rng = Range("NamedRange")
Or a multi-cell range:
Set rng = Range("A1:B10")
Set rng = Range("A1", "B10")
Set rng = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(10, 2))
Set rng = Range("AnotherNamedRange")
Set rng = Range("A1").Resize(10, 2)
You can use the shortcut to the Evaluate
method, but this is less efficient and should generally be avoided in production code.
Set rng = [A1]
Set rng = [A1:B10]
All the above examples refer to cells on the active sheet. Unless you specifically want to work only with the active sheet, it is better to Dim a Worksheet
variable too:
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set rng = ws.Cells(1, 1)
With ws
Set rng = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(2, 10))
End With
If you do want to work with the ActiveSheet
, for clarity it's best to be explicit. But take care, as some Worksheet
methods change the active sheet.
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range("A1")
Again, this refers to the active workbook. Unless you specifically want to work only with the ActiveWorkbook
or ThisWorkbook
, it is better to Dim a Workbook
variable too.
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = Application.Workbooks("Book1")
Set rng = wb.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
If you do want to work with the ActiveWorkbook
, for clarity it's best to be explicit. But take care, as many WorkBook
methods change the active book.
Set rng = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
You can also use the ThisWorkbook
object to refer to the book containing the running code.
Set rng = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
A common (bad) piece of code is to open a book, get some data then close again
This is bad:
Sub foo()
Dim v as Variant
Workbooks("Book1.xlsx").Sheets(1).Range("A1").Clear
Workbooks.Open("C:\Path\To\SomeClosedBook.xlsx")
v = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Value
Workbooks("SomeAlreadyOpenBook.xlsx").Activate
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("SomeSheet").Range("A1").Value = v
Workbooks(2).Activate
ActiveWorkbook.Close()
End Sub
And it would be better like:
Sub foo()
Dim v as Variant
Dim wb1 as Workbook
Dim wb2 as Workbook
Set wb1 = Workbooks("SomeAlreadyOpenBook.xlsx")
Set wb2 = Workbooks.Open("C:\Path\To\SomeClosedBook.xlsx")
v = wb2.Sheets("SomeSheet").Range("A1").Value
wb1.Sheets("SomeOtherSheet").Range("A1").Value = v
wb2.Close()
End Sub
Pass ranges to your Sub
s and Function
s as Range variables:
Sub ClearRange(r as Range)
r.ClearContents
'....
End Sub
Sub MyMacro()
Dim rng as Range
Set rng = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("SomeSheet").Range("A1:B10")
ClearRange rng
End Sub
You should also apply Methods (such as Find
and Copy
) to variables:
Dim rng1 As Range
Dim rng2 As Range
Set rng1 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("SomeSheet").Range("A1:A10")
Set rng2 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("SomeSheet").Range("B1:B10")
rng1.Copy rng2
If you are looping over a range of cells it is often better (faster) to copy the range values to a variant array first and loop over that:
Dim dat As Variant
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Long
Set rng = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("SomeSheet").Range("A1:A10000")
dat = rng.Value ' dat is now array (1 to 10000, 1 to 1)
for i = LBound(dat, 1) to UBound(dat, 1)
dat(i,1) = dat(i, 1) * 10 ' Or whatever operation you need to perform
next
rng.Value = dat ' put new values back on sheet
This is a small taster for what's possible.
You probably would be better off creating a button in the ribbon so that it is available on all pages:

EDIT:
My bad, I thought you meant a worksheet instead of a VBA MultiPage in a userform.
Check this out. I was able to make this work for me:
Assign code to a button created dynamically
Class1:
Option Explicit
Public WithEvents CmdEvents As MSForms.CommandButton
Private Sub CmdEvents_Click()
MsgBox "yo"
End Sub
Userform with MultiPage object:
Option Explicit
Dim cmdArray() As New Class1
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim newControl As Control
Set newControl = Me.MultiPage1.Pages(0).Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1", "NewCommand", True)
newControl.Object.Caption = "hello"
newControl.Left = 50
newControl.Top = 50
ReDim Preserve cmdArray(1 To 1)
Set cmdArray(1).CmdEvents = newControl
Set newControl = Nothing
End Sub

You have to use the
Value
property of your MultiPage object.Code example:
Be careful: First page is not value 1 but value 0
Example with result
Here is an example with a simple UserForm and 4 buttons.
Informations:
Name of the form: MultiPageUserForm
Name of the multipage object: MultiPageExample
