Thread: How to use named ranges in excel vba?

I have worksheet that I use for LEAN managment with risk management, etc. on the first sheet there is a user form that inputs data to the "database" sheet.
Database sheets has several columns of data and if i want to insert a column at the A1 column then it messes all my comboboxes and textboxes that refer
to the "database" sheet. The problem is I hardcoded all comboboxes and textboxes on the userform and now I have to add some more options on the user form that inputs data on the "database" sheet.

I searched on the internet and found that I could use "named ranges" instead so that I can insert new columns without messing up my comboboxes and textboxes. I tried expermenting with named ranges without sucess so maybe one of you guys can point me in the right direction.

Public Sub Save_Click()


Dim NextRow As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Databas")

Dim rg As Range
Set rg = Worksheets("Databas").Range("Risk")



' The statement simulates activating the last cell in column A, pressing End,
' pressing Up Arrow, and then moving down one row. If you do that manually,
' the cell pointer will be in the next empty cell in column A — even if the data
' area doesn’t begin in row 1 and contains blank rows.

NextRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1) _
    .End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
    

rg.NextRow.Value = Me.cboRisk.Value

' ws.Cells(NextRow, rg).Value = Me.cboRisk.Value

ws.Cells(NextRow, 3).Value = Me.txtProblem.Value

ws.Cells(NextRow, 6).Value = Me.cboStatus.Value



End Sub

I can't see where your code uses the named range

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook. Don't upload a picture when you have a workbook question. None of us is inclined to recreate your data. Upload the workbook and manually add an 'after' situation so that we can see what you expect. In addition clearly explain how you get the results..

I can't see where you use a Named Range anyway.
