1 When hiring a painting contractor, paint and supplies make up about 15-25 percent of the cost, while 75-85 percent goes for labor. 2  Costs typically average $1,500-$3,000 for an average single-story, three-bedroom home, but easily run $3,000-$5,500 or more for a multi-story or multi-level larger house. Choose the best quality paint you can afford; it lasts longer. 2  Experts estimate that the outside of a house should be painted every 5-7 years, but less-expensive paint may start peeling or fading in 4 years or less while really high-quality paint will hold up a bit longer.
Re: VBA code for suming a dynamic column range will this macro help you. VB: Sub test() Dim r As Range, j As Long, k As Long j = Range(A1).End(xlToRight).Column For k = 1 To j Set r = Range(Cells(1, k), Cells(1, k).End(xlDown)) r.End(xlDown).Offset(2, 0) = WorksheetFunction.Sum(r) Next k End Sub.
You can use Get External Data (dispite its name), located in the 'Data' tab of Excel 2010, to set up a connection in a workbook to query data from itself. Use From Other Sources From Microsoft Query to connect to Excel. Once set up you can use VBA to manipulate the connection to, among other thing, view and modify the SQL command that drives the query. This query does reference the in memory workbook, so doen't require a save to refresh the latest data.
