    Excel Macro Functions (GET.DOCUMENT)

    Hi All,


    Syntax

    GET.DOCUMENT(type_num, name_text)
    Type_num is a number that specifies what type of information you want. The following lists show the possible values of type_num and the corresponding results.

    Type_num Returns

    1 If there is more than one sheet in the workbook, returns the name of the worksheet, as text, in the form "[book1]sheet1". Otherwise, returns only the name of the workbook. The workbook name does not include the drive, directory or folder, or window number. It is usually best to use GET.DOCUMENT(76) and GET.DOCUMENT(88) to return the name of the active worksheet and the active workbook.
    2 Path of the directory or folder containing name_text, as text. If the workbook name_text hasn't been saved yet, returns the #N/A error value.
    3 Number indicating the type of sheet. If name_text is a sheet, then the return value is one of the following numbers. If name_text is a book, then the return value is always 5. If name_text is omitted, then the sheet type is returned. If the book has one sheet that is named the same as the book, then the sheet type is returned.
    1 = Worksheet
    2 = Chart
    3 = Macro sheet
    4 = Info window if active
    5 = Reserved
    6 = Module
    7 = Dialog

    4 If changes have been made to the sheet since it was last saved, returns TRUE; otherwise, returns FALSE.
    5 If the sheet is read-only, returns TRUE; otherwise, returns FALSE.
    6 If the sheet is password protected, returns TRUE; otherwise, returns FALSE.
    7 If cells in a sheet, the contents of a sheet, or the series in a chart are protected, returns TRUE; otherwise, returns FALSE.
    8 If the workbook windows are protected, returns TRUE; otherwise, returns FALSE.

    The next four values of type_num apply only to charts.

    Type_num Returns

    9 Number indicating the type of the main chart:
    1 = Area
    2 = Bar
    3 = Column
    4 = Line
    5 = Pie
    6 = XY (scatter)
    7 = 3-D area
    8 = 3-D column
    9 = 3-D line
    10 = 3-D pie
    11 = Radar
    12 = 3-D bar
    13 = 3-D surface
    14 = Donut
    10 Number indicating the type of the overlay chart. Same as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, and 14 for main chart above. If there is no overlay chart, returns the #N/A error value.
    11 Number of series in the main chart.
    12 Number of series in the overlay chart.

    The next values of type_num apply to worksheets and macro sheets and to charts when appropriate.

    Type_num Returns

    9 Number of the first used row. If the document is empty, returns 0.
    10 Number of the last used row. If the document is empty, returns 0.
    11 Number of the first used column. If the document is empty, returns 0.
    12 Number of the last used column. If the document is empty, returns 0.
    13 Number of windows.
    14 Number indicating calculation mode:
    1 = Automatic
    2 = Automatic except tables
    3 = Manual
    15 If the Iteration check box is selected in the Calculation tab of the Options dialog box, returns TRUE; otherwise, returns FALSE.
    16 Maximum number of iterations.
    17 Maximum change between iterations.
    18 If the Update Remote References check box is selected in the Calculation tab of the Options dialog box, returns TRUE; otherwise, returns FALSE.

    The next values of type_num apply to worksheets and macro sheets, and to charts if indicated.

    A dream is not something you see when you are asleep, but something you strive for when you are awake.

    It's usually a bad idea to say that something can't be done.

    The difference between dream and aim, is that one requires soundless sleep to see and the other requires sleepless efforts to achieve
