Run a macro with a variable

Posted by Edd P on March 09, 2001 4:29 AM

I am currently producing a sheet that will take a variable from a cell on the sheet. The next stage is to run a macro of the same name as the variable. I have no clue as to how this can be done. Any body know???

Hi Edd P

Sub TryThis()
Dim MacroName as String
MacroName="MySub"
Run MySub
End Sub

Sub MySub
Msgbox "Hello"
End Sub

Oops Typo!

Sub TryThis()
Dim MacroName as String
MacroName="MySub"
Run MySub
End Sub

Sub MySub()
Msgbox "Hello"
End Sub

Dave pasted the same typo. Should be :-
Sub TryThis()
Dim MacroName as String
MacroName="MySub"
Run MacroName
End Sub

Sub MySub()
Msgbox "Hello"
End Sub

If you want to take the macro name from a worksheet cell (say,A1) :-
Sub TryThis()
Dim MacroName as String
MacroName=Range("A1")
Run MacroName
End Sub

Sub MySub()
Msgbox "Hello"
End Sub

Help! I'm being stalked!

I actualy missed out the () in my first post, didn't even realise I had the other typo. That's what happen when you type directly at 0500 without testing I guess :)
