What I'm trying to achieve is there are 2 whole numbers in column A & B on the same row. I want to fill the row from Column C to show the whole numbers increments of one between the two numbers.
i.e.
A B C D E F G H I J K L
1 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
any help would be appreciated.
Assuming this is Excel and you can open the VBE Editor to use VBA
Here's a macro you can run or call via a button
See the comments in the code to understand what it's doing with the Dataseries fill function
Sub FillData()
Dim intStopAt As Integer
' Set to cell indicated low end of range
Cells(1, 1).Select
' Fill in "Start At" Number
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Value = ActiveCell.Value
' Retrieve and use stop number to fill in series
intStopAt = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).DataSeries Rowcol:=xlRows, Type:=xlLinear, Date:=xlDay, Step:=1, Stop:=intStopAt
End Sub
The below code assumes you have no header and that your value in A1 is always 1, and your value in B1 is the number you want to count to.
This can be modified to be more dynamic, but taking your question as is, this should work for you.
1) Check number to count to (CountTo)
2) Run loop for 1 to CountTo and auto-populate your column headers
To run: Open VBE and paste this code on the sheet where you wish to run it.
Sub Counter()
Dim CountTo As Integer
CountTo = Range("B1").Value
For i = 1 To CountTo
Cells(1, i + 2) = i
Next i
End Sub
This can be done without VBA, perhaps not as neat initially as #dbmitch's answer because the formula has to go across to the maximum possible number.
A1 is start number, > 0
B1 is end number (> A1)
In Cell C1 enter =A1
In Cell D1 enter =IF(AND(C1<$B1,C1>=$A1),C1+1,"") and then
drag/fill right as far as you need to.
I have formulated the code so that you can now select the filled rows (A through to wherever) and fill down.
A simple explanation:
C1 sets the start of the list
The AND formula in D1 onwards checks that the immediate left cell (for D1 this is C1, for E1 this is D1 etc.) is less than the end number and greater than the start number.
If the conditions are true, use the immediate left cell value + 1 as the result.
If the conditions are false, insert a blank.
Further checking can be done, I have assumed in the above solution that the numbers are positive and increasing.
You can use helper columns to indicate if you should increase or decrease (i.e. +1 or -1 as required.
Using a blank as the other answer falls down if the numbers go from -ve to +ve. In this case, you could use another symbol (e.g. x) and check for that in the AND function as well.
you could use this:
Sub main()
Dim cell As Range
With Range("A1", Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlNumbers) ' reference column A cells from row 1 down to last not empty one with a "constant" (i.e. not a formula result) numeric content
For Each cell In .Cells 'loop through referenced range
cell.Offset(, 2).Resize(, cell.Offset(, 1).Value - cell.Value + 1).FormulaR1C1 = "=COLUMN()-COLUMN(C3)+RC1" 'write proper formula in current cell adjacent cells
Next
.CurrentRegion.Value = .CurrentRegion.Value ' get rid of formulas and leave values only
End With
End Sub

I'm trying to have a program that can read a range of cells which consist of 12 cells (let's say: P79, R79, T79, V79, X79, Z79, AB79, AD79, AF79, AH79, AJ79, AL79) and under those cells there are 6 cells (let's say: V81, X81, Z81, AB81, AD81, AF81), the program is looking for whether or not there are values typed in the cells within the described range.
The program should be able to read the cells from left to right on the top row and loop down to the bottom row and read that from right to left.
If all the cells in the top row have values in them, then the program breaks and doesn't read the values in the bottom row.
As the program reads the values from each cell it should create a table consisting of three columns (let's say: M88, N88, O88), the leftmost column should have the cell number (in order of cell as read by the program (whichever cell has a value first in the loop is given the number 1 and then the next cell to have a value is given number 2 etc.). The middle column should have whatever value is written in it's corresponding cell read from the range. The right column should have the value of whatever is to the right of each cell containing a value.
The first value to be read with a value should give the value "Left End" and the last value to read (whether or not it is the 12th cell to have a value in the top row or the leftmost cell to have a value in the bottom row) should give the value "Right end".
An example of what a row from the table could look like:
Cell # Cell Value Position/Left/Right
1 First Left End
This is the code I have so far:
Sub Code()
Dim wb As Workbook: Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = wb.Sheets("Sheet1")
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, k As Integer
' First loop to compare a car to the rest after it
For i = 1 To 12
For j = i + 1 To 12
If Not IsEmpty(ws.Range("Cell_" & i)) And Not IsEmpty(ws.Range("Cell_" & j)) Then
ws.Range("B82").Offset(i).Value = j
Exit For
End If
Next j
Next i
' Loop backwards to find "Right End"
For k = 12 To 2 Step -1 '24 To 2
If Not IsEmpty(ws.Range("Cell_12")) Then
ws.Range("B82").Offset(12).Value = "Right End"
Exit For
' Has the "Right End" Follow when cars are left blank for lower row
ElseIf IsEmpty(ws.Range("Cell_" & k)) And Not IsEmpty(ws.Range("Cell_" & k - 1)) Then
ws.Range("B82").Offset(k - 1).Value = "Right End"
Exit For
End If
Next k
What I have here merely inserts a count into a cell range, what I'm trying to do is have my code actually read the cells in the range in the order I described and one at a time look at which cells have values written in them and look at which cells (with values in them) are to the right of any cell with a value and produce the table described above.
After reading your explanation, which was quite challenging I tried to recreate what you are asking.
I used cells A1:L1 with numbers 1 to 12. in the row below that A2:L2, some numbers have been added. with an if value <> "" you can see which cells contain a value.
In the second worksheet the table is made:
Sub test()
Dim a As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim name As String
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1).Activate
a = 1
For i = 1 To endcel
If Sheets(1).Range("a1").Offset(a, i - 1).Value <> "" Then
name = Sheets(1).Range("A1").Offset(a, i - 1).Value
Sheets(2).Activate
Sheets(2).Range("b2").Offset(i).Value = name
End If
Next i
End Sub
Does this help? You can adapt it a bit to your problem.
Good luck!
I want the cell to number itself in an incremental order depending upon the filters. I found the easiest way is to check for the above Row if it is hidden or not then number itself from 1 if hidden and previous cell value+1 if not hidden.
I've tried to achieve this using the Formula
=IF(COUNTA(ADDR)>SUBTOTAL(103, ADDR), 1, ADDR+1)
Where ADDR is defined as follows:
=ADDRESS(ROW()-1,COLUMN(), 4, TRUE)
SUBTOTAL function returns #VALUE as it cannot contain 3-D References.
Tried replacing SUBTOTAL() function with AGGREGATE(), same issue.
Tried to use VALUE() function to convert the ADDR string to value.
I tried to use VBA
Public Function IsHid(i As Integer)
Dim re As Range, x As Integer
Set re = Range("A" & i)
If re.EntireRow.Hidden Then
Set re = Range("A" & i + 1)
re = 1
Else
x = re.Value + 1
Set re = Range("A" & i + 1)
re = x
End If
End Function
The above function returns #VALUE.
The below function also returns #VALUE.
Public Function IsHid(i As Integer)
If Excel.ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Rows(i).Hidden Then
Cells(i + 1, 1).Value = 1
Else
Cells(i + 1, 1).Value = Cells(i, 1).Value + 1
End If
End Function
Very much appreciated if this functionality can be obtained by means of FORMULAS rather than the VBA
Use Subtotal combined with Count(A):
=SUBTOTAL(3,B$2:B2) and paste down.
This can be in column A and will number only visible rows when you filter on B, C, etc.
You might want to take a look here as well, for additional explanation.
Edit:
Let's say you have Sheet1 and you fill up Range A:G. In column A you want the numbering described in the question. Then Range A1 will hold a header (e.g. FilteredID) and Range B:G will hold your other values.
In range A2 all the way down, you put the formula =Subtotal(3, B$2:B2), in Range A3 this will be =Subtotal(3, B$2:B3), in A4 =Subtotal(3, B$2:B4), etc.
Now, when you filter on column B, C, D etc. so you'll have invisible rows, the numbering in column A will show the visible Row number.
For example, assuming you want to start numbering in row 2 and in column A and you have Excel 2010 or later:
=AGGREGATE(4,5,A$1:A1)+1
Just adjust the start cell as required.
As a complete beginner to VBA Excel, I would like to be able to do the following:
I want to find the first value larger than 0 in a row, and then sum over the following 4 cells in the same row. So
Animal1 0 0 1 2 3 0 1
Animal2 3 3 0 1 4 2 0
Animal3 0 0 0 0 0 1 0
Results in
Animal1 7
Animal2 11
Animal3 1
Is this possible?
(Your problem description didn't match your examples. I interpreted the problem as one of summing the 4 elements in a row which begin with the first number which is greater than 0. If my interpretation is wrong -- the following code would need to be tweaked.)
You could do it with a user-defined function (i.e. a UDF -- a VBA function designed to be used as a spreadsheet function):
Function SumAfter(R As Range, n As Long) As Variant
'Sums the (at most) n elements beginning with the first occurence of
'a strictly positive number in the range R,
'which is assumed to be 1-dimensional.
'If all numbers are zero or negative -- returns a #VALUE! error
Dim i As Long, j As Long, m As Long
Dim total As Variant
m = R.Cells.Count
For i = 1 To m
If R.Cells(i).Value > 0 Then
For j = i To Application.Min(m, i + n - 1)
total = total + R.Cells(j)
Next j
SumAfter = total
Exit Function
End If
Next i
'error condition if you reach here
SumAfter = CVErr(xlErrValue)
End Function
If your sample data is in A1:H3 then putting the formula =SumAfter(B1:H1,4) in I1 and copying down will work as intended. Note that the code is slightly more general than your problem description. If you are going to use VBA, you might as well make your subs/functions as flexible as possible. Also note that if you are writing a UDF, it is a good idea to think of what type of error you want to return if the input violates expectations. See this for an excellent discussion (from Chip Pearson's site - which is an excellent resource for Excel VBA programmers).
ON EDIT: If you want the first cell greater than 0 added to the next 4 (for a total of 5 cells in the sum) then the function I gave works as is, but using =SumAfter(B1:H1,5) instead of =SumAfter(B1:H1,4).
This is the one of the variants of how you can achieve required result:
Sub test()
Dim cl As Range, cl2 As Range, k, Dic As Object, i%: i = 1
Set Dic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
For Each cl In ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns(1).Cells
For Each cl2 In Range(Cells(cl.Row, 2), Cells(cl.Row, 8))
If cl2.Value2 > 0 Then
Dic.Add i, cl.Value2 & "|" & Application.Sum(Range(cl2, cl2.Offset(, 4)))
i = i + 1
Exit For
End If
Next cl2, cl
Workbooks.Add: i = 1
For Each k In Dic
Cells(i, "A").Value2 = Split(Dic(k), "|")(0)
Cells(i, "b").Value2 = CDec(Split(Dic(k), "|")(1))
i = i + 1
Next k
End Sub
Here is what I would use, I dont know any of the cell placement you have used so you will need to change that yourself.
Future reference this isnt a code writing site for you, if you are new to VBA i suggest doing simple stuff first, make a message box appear, use code to move to different cells, try a few if statments and/or loops. When your comftable with that start using varibles(Booleans, string , intergers and such) and you will see how far you can go. As i like to say , "if you can do it in excel, code can do it better"
If the code doesnt work or doesnt suit your needs then change it so it does, it worked for me when i used it but im not you nor do i have your spread sheet
paste it into your vba and use F8 to go through it step by step see how it works and if you want to use it.
Sub test()
[A1].Select ' assuming it starts in column A1
'loops till it reachs the end of the cells or till it hits a blank cell
Do Until ActiveCell.Value = ""
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
'adds up the value of the cells going right and removes the previous cell to clean up
Do Until ActiveCell.Value = ""
x = x + ActiveCell.Value
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).ClearContents
Loop
'goes back to the begining and ends tallyed up value
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = x
'moves down one to next row
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
End Sub
Q: I need to simply paste the values of the row at my discretion (button) so that they remain permanently where I pasted them.If they already exist there then update them otherwise paste to the last non empty row. From where they get copied the rows can change , new rows can come and go hence they'd need a unique identifier from the column
The only formula I have for a building block for doing this is:
Function paste() As Variant
macropastec4 = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("I3").Value
End Function
which I could assign to a button to paste the value of the one cell however I need rows and much more (see detailed description) so I don't know whether the right solution would incorp my building block at all!
detailed description:
How can I adjust this formula to paste a row of cells based on a cell value (unique identifier) in that row. I.e incorporating a unique reference in the row ie 1 in A1 in such a way that if I was to run the sub again it would just update the row that exists starting H10 where it has been copied with H10 containing that referred 1. If it was a new row it would populate the last empty row beginning either H12 or H11. I would have push button to run the vba function for each row to be copied so in O1 O2 O3 etc
A B C D E F G to H I J K L M N 1
"non empty cells containing 2
1 1 b c d e f g 8 previously pasted rows from(A:G) 3
2 2 i j k l m n 9 which have now disappeared"
3 3 p q 5 3 y z 10 1 b c d e f g
11 2 i j k l m n
12 3 p q 5 3 y z
The more complicated part lies in that A1 to G1 won't always contain 1,b,c,d,e,f,g but as I paste it to where it should be pasted ie in rows H to N according to my rules and at my discretion ( ie clicking on the vba sub button). At a certain time completely independant of when I run the sub for each row , the row A:Gwill dissapear and repopulate with something new. Moreover it will repopulate with whatever was below A1 to G1 ie A2 to G2 unless A2 to G2 has already disappeared in which case it would populate whatever remains just filling up to A1 to G1 hence why I would need the unique identifier being the 1 in A1 to work after this re-alignment whereby if I run the sub again it would recognize the 1 or the 2 and know its place within H to N again knowing to only update the existing row there (permanently pasted) or otherwise ( if it is a new line that exists ) to paste it to the last empty row under H to N
- i.e new rows can appear in A:G any time moving to the top or bottom
n.b. I only need the ability to paste the cells from A1:G3or further depending on how many rows there are ie it could be A1:G20 but I want the sub to cator for each row independantly through a button. How those rows A1:G20 re-populate and re-order themselves is dependant on of of the columns in the row. Ie they would repopulate if they had a similar column cell but that should be ignored in the framework of what I am trying to achieve, I need only reference to the unique identifiers in column A of the rows
other points
In cells A1 toG1ANDA2toG2` etc (basically every row) I will have a combination of number, letters (written text) and inserted references (LINKS) to sheets in Microsoft onenote. So I'd need the ability to have the same link copied over with the same alignment of the LINK button I have for that particular onenote file i.e aligned to cell etc. So basically just paste whatever is there in those cells!!
It is probably worth noting that the unique identifiers as they
repopulate won't be in any order - they will be completely random i.e
not neceserrily 1,2,3,4, could be 313,2,32131,2,33 but they will be numbers
I will also need this to referece the one sheet I am working on.
Please help me accomplish this! thanks in advance
Don't know if this helps
still no ideas? do these help?
Code:
Sub CopyRows()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim destRng As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Sheets("All Data")
Set destRng = .Range("B" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row + 1)
LastRow = Sheets("IDEAS").Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Sheets("IDEAS").Range("B8:S" & LastRow).Copy Destination:=destRng
.Columns("B:S").AutoFit
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
maybe I could have one sub button for all rows to do this. Just need the above to filter for already existing rows with the identifier. :S So I need some form of the above with an if command and to paste values :S
this help:?
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:F48").Copy
With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteColumnWidths
.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
End With
Use VBA to paste values from one table to another
this with a paste not copy ?
I could reference cells with the currently displayed unique identifiers
Public Sub CopyRows()
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
' Find the last row of data
FinalRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
' Loop through each row
For x = 2 To FinalRow
' Decide if to copy based on column D
ThisValue = Cells(x, 4).Value
If ThisValue = "A" Then
Cells(x, 1).Resize(1, 33).Copy
Sheets("SheetA").Select
NextRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1
Cells(NextRow, 1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
ElseIf ThisValue = "B" Then
Cells(x, 1).Resize(1, 33).Copy
Sheets("SheetB").Select
NextRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1
Cells(NextRow, 1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
End If
Next x
End Sub
I have a little problem, I occasionally bump into this kind of problem, but I haven’t found a fast solution so far.
So, imagine we have an Excel worksheet and let's suppose that we have a couple of numbers in column ’A’ with some empty cells in it. Altogether (just to make it simple) we have the first 10 cells in column 'A' to observe. For example:
3
(empty cell)
(empty cell)
6
(empty cell)
4
(empty cell)
23
(empty cell)
2
Now in the next step I would like to collect these numbers into another column (for example, column ’B’) using VBA. Obviously I just want to collect those cells which contain a number and I want to ignore the empty cells. So I would like to get a column something like this:
3
6
4
23
2
I have already written the following code, but I’m stuck at this point.
Sub collect()
For i = 1 To 10
if cells(i,1)<>"" then...
Next i
End Sub
Is there an easy way to solve this problem?
Probably the quickest and easiest way is to use Excel's Advanced Filter - the only amendment you'll need to make is it add a field name and criteria. You can even list unique items only:
The VBA equivalent is
Sub test()
With Sheet1
.Range("B1:B8").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=.Range( _
"D1:D2"), CopyToRange:=.Range("F1"), Unique:=False
End With
End Sub
You should be able to use the method in the post int the comments, but you could also use SpecialCells like Range("A:A").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants,xlNumbers).Copy to get all of the filled cells.
Edit: needed constants not formulas.
This will work for any number of rows that you select. It will always output in the next column at the start of your selection e.g. if data starts in B10 it will ooutput in C10
Sub RemoveBlanks()
Dim cl As Range, cnt As Long
cnt = 0
For Each cl In Selection
If Not cl = vbNullString Then
Cells(Selection.Cells(1, 1).Row, Selection.Cells(1, 1).Column).Offset(cnt, 1) = cl
cnt = cnt + 1
End If
Next cl
End Sub
If you wish to loop manually and don't mind specifying the maximum row limit;
Dim i As long, values As long
For i = 1 To 10
If cells(i, 1).Value <> "" Then
values = (values + 1)
' // Adjacent column target
cells(values, 2).value = cells(i, 1).value
End If
Next i
