    VBA, User-defined formula argument referring to cell value calculated by Excel formula

    Hi all,

    I'm using this VBA code to show some QR codes in my spreadsheet.

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    The problem I have is that the argument of the user-defined formula "name" has to refer to a cell "G8" that contains a formula in it (please refer to the picture below). If in "G8" I write "8816" everything is working perfectly but if I keep the formula in "G8", the user-defined formula "getImage4" is not working. Any hint?

    Thanks,

    The problem is this line:

    Try replacing that line with:

    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...

    Hi Olly, thank you very much for your reply. It works perfectly!

    I just noticed another issues with this code, not depending on the change you just suggested me.

    Basically I have a "REPORT_general_data" worksheet where the cells are fed by values from the "MULTI-FIELD_search_form" worksheet.

    The "MULTI-FIELD_search_form" worksheet contains a table updated through a MS Query based on the parameters given in a form I created (picture below).

    Through the check-boxes (first picture) I can select the item for which I want to generate the report and, thanks a V.LOOK function, the data, related to the item selected, will fill the row right below the orange header (second picture).

    The "REPORT_general_data" worksheet takes then these data to populate the report. Among these values there is also the value (cell "G8" in my first message), used in the user-defined function, object of the thread. I paid attention to write a formula in "G8" that gives 0 if the V.LOOK search returns an error.

    The issue is that when I try to deselect a check-box (first picture) OR to select another one, Microsoft Excel closes saying that "it stopped working". Any idea why?

    I hope my description was clear enough, if not, please let me know and I'll try to be more specific.

    P.S. I'm also sure that the issue depends on the code above-mentioned, since it's enough I delete the formula referring to this code and everything is working fine when selecting/deselecting the check-boxes.

    Thanks,
    Stefano

    No idea. Really hard to diagnose, with no error code.

    Yes, exactly, I can imagine. Unfortunately Excel simply closes with no additional info.

    Thanks anyway,
    Stefano
