Hi,
As a beginner I may be going a bit above my head!!

After studying and participating at some considerable length in Threads and links to do with using the Evaluate function to speed things up, I thought I understood it. Here are some of those links and Threads. (www.excelfox.com/forum/f22/concatenating-balls-1891/ VBA Trick of the Week :: Avoid Loop for Range Calculations – Evaluate | Useful Gyaan )

. So … the following simplified example File (XL2007 .xlsm)
https://app.box.com/s/pr78mhna00advvhsrmvi
has a Spreadsheet LEFT Function and a Spreadsheet VLOOKUP Function

The results look good! (That is to say wot I expect!) :-

D6=LEFT(A6,4)
D7=LEFT(A7,4)
D8=LEFT(A8,4)
D9=LEFT(A9,4)
D10=LEFT(A10,4)




I apply this code

Code: 
[color=darkblue]Sub[/color] Evaluate_Left()[color=darkblue]Dim[/color] rngName [color=darkblue]As[/color] Range
[color=darkblue]Set[/color] rngName = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A3:A10")
[color=darkblue]Dim[/color] rngEE [color=darkblue]As[/color] Range
[color=darkblue]Set[/color] rngEE = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1").Range("E3:E10")
[color=darkblue]Let[/color] rngEE = Evaluate("if(row(3:10),LEFT(" & rngName.Address & ",4))")
[color=darkblue]End[/color] [color=darkblue]Sub[/color] [color=green]'Evaluate_Left()[/color]


And get the following:-

[color=darkblue]Set[/color] rngName = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A3:A10")
[color=darkblue]Dim[/color] rngCC [color=darkblue]As[/color] Range
[color=darkblue]Set[/color] rngCC = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1").Range("C3:C10")
[color=darkblue]Let[/color] rngCC = Evaluate("if(row(3:10),VLOOKUP(" & rngName.Address & ",$A$16:$C$33,3,FALSE))")
[color=darkblue]End[/color] [color=darkblue]Sub[/color] [color=green]'Evaluate_VLOOKUP()[/color]

. I would have expected that result without The extra If Row() stuff, which I thought overcame this problem.
. can anyone suggest wot is going wrong, or how I obtain the correct results (Using the Evaluate Function for a range)
Thanks
Alan.

P.s. I will also post this Thread Here: Multiple Columns Into Single Column Using Data Text To Column - Page 2

You would have to array enter that into all the relevant cells in column M at once.

Hmm... might have to leave that one... getting into arrays which I do not understand....

...I copied
=INDEX(INDEX($C$16:$C$33,N(IF(1,MMULT(N(TRANSPOSE($A$16:$A$33)=$A$3:$A$10),ROW($A$16:$A$33)-ROW($A$15))))),)
to the clipboard, highlighted cells M3 through to M10.....and then did CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER...

.. but nothing happened??

Yikes! Since I last looked you've thrown in another INDEX, another N, a TRANSPOSE and to top it all off an MMULT as well?!

And I thought my solutions were convoluted! :laugh:

Hi pgc ( and XOR LX),

I am very grateful for you both for your further inputs…….......have learnt a lot from participating in this thread. ……….Many thanks again…..Alan



P.s. PGC - Your following suggested method (which gives indication if there are array values from the formula available) was very interesting and useful.
. 1) selecting a cell with a formula in it and
. 2) then selecting (Highlighting) that formula in the Formula bar and
. 3) then pressing F9 to see a result of the form {4;0;10;etc} indicating if there are array values from the formula available

. - Can you please tell me which key combination returns the displayed result in the formula window back to the formula?

Found this:

…..“A formula or part of a formula is immediately evaluated (calculated), even in manual calculation mode, when you…. For example……

Select the formula in the formula bar and press F9 (press ESC to undo and revert to the formula),….”

Mega Code “External” Look Up Table problem
Hi Rory, (or anyone else viewing..)
…. Sorry for coming back with another question/ problem. I realize the codes were given with reservations as to their suitability considering it’s convoluted form. However I was having some interesting results that I was hoping to post as additional useful feedback in some other Threads. ..
…. However I have run into some inconsistent problems.. After a few days of head banging I thought I would try to explain one problem here, in case any hints can be given to where it is going wrong.

. To explain I again modify the files and codes to suit the simplified example used initially in this Thread.

. Here is my sheet before …

. So far so good (and I have had many days of “pleasure” in English and German with files that use variants in code and spreadsheet forms of the Mega Evaluate one liners!).
. Originally for simplicity in this Thread I kept my Look Up Values and Look Up Table on the same sheet

.. But:

. I sometimes*** run into a problem if I try to reference a Look Up Table on another sheet or another file.
. For example the codes here ( Sub Evaluate_INDEXwithMATCHMegaMegaRoryA3() ) are slightly modified to reference the following Look Up Table on a second sheet (Sheet “LookUpTable”):

. Note: Originally I mistakingly thought this was working. But after removing the Look Up Table in the first sheet***, it was clearly not working and for some strange reason was still trying to reference the Look Up Table in the first sheet!? Here the results from running the second codes:

(. Note the values are removed from the look Up table in the first sheet otherwise strangely the codes work!?***)



. After some effort I hit on an Argument
Code: 
(External:=True)
which I included in the next codes ( Sub Evaluate_INDEXwithMATCHMegaMegaRoryA4() ):

Code:

    [color=darkblue]Let[/color] rngLL.Value = Evaluate("INDEX(INDEX(" & rngLUpValues.Address(External:=True) & ",N(IF(1,MMULT(N(TRANSPOSE(" & rngLUpEntries.Address(External:=True) & ")=" & rngName.Address & "),ROW(" & rngLUpEntries.Address(External:=True) & ")-ROW(" & rngLUpOffset.Address(External:=True) & ")))),3),)")
   
[color=darkblue]End[/color] [color=darkblue]Sub[/color] [color=green]'Evaluate_INDEXwithMATCHMegaMegaRoryA4()[/color]

. It appeared to cure the problem in the first one liner, but not the second as shown in the following results after running the above codes:

LookUpValues




. Just for completeness, (and to get closer to the real life requirement) I included the following code ( Sub Evaluate_INDEXwithMATCHMegaMegaRoryA5() ) that references the same Look Up Table but in another workbook ( Workbook Here, (XL 2007 .xlsx) : https://app.box.com/s/k2blsoyjkbomjfb87o7r )
. Here are the codes:

Code: 
[color=darkblue]Sub[/color] Evaluate_INDEXwithMATCHMegaMegaRoryA5()
 
    [color=darkblue]Dim[/color] rngName [color=darkblue]As[/color] Range, rngLUpValues [color=darkblue]As[/color] Range, rngLUpEntries [color=darkblue]As[/color] Range, rngLUpOffset [color=darkblue]As[/color] Range
    [color=darkblue]Set[/color] rngLUpValues = Workbooks("ExternalLookUpTable").Worksheets("LookUpTable").Range("$A$16:$C$33")
    [color=darkblue]Set[/color] rngLUpEntries = Workbooks("ExternalLookUpTable").Worksheets("LookUpTable").Range("$A$16:$A$33")
    [color=darkblue]Set[/color] rngLUpOffset = Workbooks("ExternalLookUpTable").Worksheets("LookUpTable").Range("$A$15")
   
    [color=darkblue]Set[/color] rngName = ActiveSheet.Range("$A$3:$A$10")
 
    [color=darkblue]Dim[/color] rngJJ [color=darkblue]As[/color] Range, rngLL [color=darkblue]As[/color] Range
    [color=darkblue]Set[/color] rngJJ = ActiveSheet.Range("J3:J10")
    [color=darkblue]Set[/color] rngLL = ActiveSheet.Range("L3:L10")
    [color=darkblue]Let[/color] rngJJ = ""
    [color=darkblue]Let[/color] rngLL = ""
    [color=darkblue]Let[/color] rngJJ.Value = Evaluate("INDEX(INDEX(" & rngLUpValues.Address(External:=True) & ",N(IF(1,MATCH(" & rngName.Address & "," & rngLUpEntries.Address(External:=True) & ",0))),3),)")
 
    [color=darkblue]Let[/color] rngLL.Value = Evaluate("INDEX(INDEX(" & rngLUpValues.Address(External:=True) & ",N(IF(1,MMULT(N(TRANSPOSE(" & rngLUpEntries.Address(External:=True) & ")=" & rngName.Address & "),ROW(" & rngLUpEntries.Address(External:=True) & ")-ROW(" & rngLUpOffset.Address(External:=True) & ")))),3),)")
   
[color=darkblue]End[/color] [color=darkblue]Sub[/color] [color=green]'Evaluate_INDEXwithMATCHMegaMegaRoryA5()[/color]

. Again the second code does not work giving

LookUpValues


. Any help would be greatly appreciated on solving this specific problem, (or even some new “guesses” for different versions of the second “Mega- one liner Evaluate code”, the convoluted form of which I am beginning to think is based on very long intuitive experience rather than clear logic!)
Thanks

Alan Elston

. P.s. 1 The complete File with Macros of interest here in Module “ExternalLookUpTableProb” and also duplicated in the Sheet Module “LookUpValues”
https://app.box.com/s/olpz5cp7fhn1pjgu297n

. P.s. I did have a file working with externally referencing the Look Up Table, but there were other bigger problems with that file making it inappropriate for demonstration purposes. I shall in the meantime continue to look at that to see if I can solve the mysterious problem I have here. I shall report back any findings.

It's the thread that keeps on giving...


Evaluate is limited to a formula length of ca. 255 characters. If you use the External:=True parameter you are including the full workbook name in the formula string, when all you need is the sheet name. That last is why the original didn't work - Application.Evaluate always evaluates in the context of the active sheet, so if you don't supply sheet references, your ranges all need to be on the same sheet. Worksheet.Evaluate evaluates in the context of the specified sheet whether or not it is active.

Hi Rory,
. Thanks very much for the continued help. I very much appreciate it.
. I have been going crazy all day trying to pull apart my files that are working and find the difference to those that do not. At one point I had very similar example files to those in this thread working….then my computer just crashed under the strain!
. It may have had something to do with the sheet referencing, - so I will bare your comments in mind and keep battling to understand exactly where the problem lies, that is to say how to change files such as those not working in order for them to work!! (Once I have the computer working again!!!)
Alan.

P.s. If you did have time change those last codes to work (but referencing the external Look Up Table File), you might save my brain “crashing under the strain”.. But I appreciate you have already given a lot here and I will keep at it and report back if and when I get there!!

Thanks very much again.
Alan
