This is my code. My problem is that I can only change the number of data i want if i change the code randCount = 5
. I want to be able to use my TextBox and use it for defining how many data to get. I tried randCound = TextBox1.value
and randCount = TextBox1.Text
but does not seem to work. What am i missing? How do i get it work. thanks in advance
If TextBox1 is on a sheet named Main, then you can use this:
Worksheets("Main").TextBox1.Value
Better yet, you can give the sheet a CodeName
of something like shtMain
and then use
shtMain.TextBox1.Value
And finally, you can also get to the textbox through the shapes collection (but the methods above are preferable)...
Worksheets("Main").Shapes("TextBox1").OLEFormat.Object.Object.Value
