how to copy past using VBA in excel? - vba

Hellow,
I have a problem with copy past code
I can't identify the last cell in the row "where I would like to past" !!?
Here in the next code, I wrote "Shet.Cells(Rows.Count, "N").End(xlUp).row + 1", and it works well just in case there are no hidden rows, except that last row's value always replace itself !!
So, what should I do to update last row's value every time I execute Sub Copy_Past() ???
Sub Copy_Past()
Dim Shet As Worksheet
Set Shet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
Dim LRow As Long
'To get the latest cell in the column "N", where I would like to paste my data.
LRow = Shet.Cells(Rows.Count, "N").End(xlUp).row + 1
'To make a copy form where I selected
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy ActiveSheet.Cells(LRow, "M")
'To delete the range of data that I selected and after coping them
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Delete (xlShiftUp)
End Sub

I found a solution for this :)
I brought this method from here

Sub xlCellTypeLastCell_Example_Column()
For LastRow = Columns("N").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).row To 1 Step -1
If Len(Cells(LastRow, "N").Formula) Then Exit For
Next
MsgBox LastRow
End Sub

Select cells between bold cells using a loop

I am working with data where the only consistency is the layout and the bold headings to distinguish between a new date.
I am trying to find the cells in between these cells in bold, find the value "Individual" (in column A) in the selected rows, then sum the values of the given rows in column D (as there can be more then 1 row with "Individual"), and copy this new value to a different cell.
Since the cells between the bold is one date, if the value is not there, the output cell needs to shift down one without filling in anything.
Here is what I have so far:
Sub SelectBetween()
Dim findrow As Long, findrow2 As Long
findrow = range("A:A").Find("test1", range("A1")).Row
findrow2 = range("A:A").Find("test2", range("A" & findrow)).Row
range("A" & findrow + 1 & ":A" & findrow2 - 1).Select
Selection.Find("Individual").Activate
range("D" & (ActiveCell.Row)).Select
Selection.copy
sheets("Mix of Business").Select
range("C4").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Exit Sub
errhandler:
MsgBox "No Cells containing specified text found"
End Sub
How can I loop through the data and each time it loops through a range, no matter if it finds the value (e.g. individual) or not, shifts down one row on the output cell? Also, how can I change the findrow to be a format (Bold) rather then a value?
Here is some data for reference:
This is what I am trying to get it to look like:
So you have a good start to trying to work through your data. I have a few tips to share that can hopefully help get you closer. (And please come back and ask more questions as you work through it!)
First and foremost, try to avoid using Select or Activate in your code. When you look at a recorded macro, I know that's all you see. BUT that is a recording of your keystrokes and mouseclicks (selecting and activating). You can access the data in a cell or a range without it (see my example below).
In order to approach your data, your first issue is to figure out where your data set starts (which row) and where it ends. Generally, your data is between cells with BOLD data. The exception is the last data set, which just has a many blank rows (until the end of the column). So I've created a function that starts at a given row and checks each row below it to find either a BOLD cell or the end of the data.
Private Function EndRowOfDataSet(ByRef ws As Worksheet, _
ByVal startRow As Long, _
Optional maxRowsInDataSet As Long = 50) As Long
'--- checks each row below the starting row for either a BOLD cell
' or, if no BOLD cells are detected, returns the last row of data
Dim checkCell As Range
Set checkCell = ws.Cells(startRow, 1) 'assumes column "A"
Dim i As Long
For i = startRow To maxRowsInDataSet
If ws.Cells(startRow, 1).Font.Bold Then
EndRowOfDataSet = i - 1
Exit Function
End If
Next i
'--- if we make it here, we haven't found a BOLD cell, so
' find the last row of data
EndRowOfDataSet = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
End Function
To show you how to use that with your specific data, I've created a test subroutine indicating how to loop through all the different data sets:
Option Explicit
Public Sub DataBetween()
Dim thisWB As Workbook
Dim dataWS As Worksheet
Set thisWB = ThisWorkbook
Set dataWS = thisWB.Sheets("YourNameOfSheetWithData")
'--- find the first bold cell...
'Dim nextBoldCell As Range
'Set nextBoldCell = FindNextBoldInColumn(dataWS.Range("A1"))
'--- now note the start of the data and find the next bold cell
Dim startOfDataRow As Long
Dim endOfDataRow As Long
Dim lastRowOfAllData As Long
startOfDataRow = 3
lastRowOfAllData = dataWS.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
'--- this loop is for all the data sets...
Loop
endOfDataRow = EndRowOfDataSet(dataWS, startOfDataRow)
'--- this loop is to work through one data set
For i = startOfDataRow To endOfDataRow
'--- work through each of the data rows and copy your
' data over to the other sheet here
Next i
startOfDataRow = endOfDataRow + 1
Do While endOfDataRow < lastRowOfAllData
End Sub
Use both of those together and see if that can get you closer to a full solution.
EDIT: I should have deleted that section of code. It was from an earlier concept I had that didn't completely work. I commented out those lines (for the sake of later clarity in reading the comments). Below, I'll include the function and why it didn't completely work for this situation.
So here's the function in question:
Public Function FindNextBoldInColumn(ByRef startCell As Range, _
Optional columnNumber As Long = 1) As Range
'--- beginning at the startCell row, this function check each
' lower row in the same column and stops when it encounters
' a BOLD font setting
Dim checkCell As Range
Set checkCell = startCell
Do While Not checkCell.Font.Bold
Set checkCell = checkCell.Offset(1, 0)
If checkCell.Row = checkCell.Parent.Rows.Count Then
'--- we've reached the end of the column, so
' return nothing
Set FindNextBoldInColumn = Nothing
Exit Function
End If
Loop
Set FindNextBoldInColumn = checkCell
End Function
Now, while this function works perfectly well, the situation is DOES NOT account for is the end of the last data set. In other words, a situation like this:
The function FindNextBoldInColumn will return nothing in this case and not the end of the data. So I (should have completely) deleted that function and replaced it with EndRowOfDataSet which does exactly what you need. Sorry about that.

Set Variable To Header Text Column

I have a workbook that is never received in the same format. To prevent manual intervention, I need to capture the Column that the text employee is in. For example, if the text is in column O - I would execute the below, but I would need the Cells(i,"O") to be changed based off the cell that contains the text employee
Sub DoThis()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Long
For i = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(3).Row To 2 Step -1
If Not IsEmpty(Cells(i, "O").Value) Then
'stuff here
End If
Next i
End Sub
You can use the Find method and get the column of the cell that employee is found in to use in Cells :
Option Explicit
Sub DoThis()
Dim i As Long
Dim lngCol As Long
With Worksheets("Sheet1") '<-- change to your sheet
lngCol = .Rows(1).Find("employee").Column '<-- assumes header in Row 1
For i = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(3).Row To 2 Step -1
If Not IsEmpty(.Cells(i, lngCol).Value) Then
'stuff here
End If
Next i
End With
End Sub
Use the find method
Cells.Find("employee")
This will find the cell in the range specified (here I've used Cells but I'd narrow this down to your range) and it will return the cell that contains the text "employee". You can then reference this as a Range object i.e. use .Row to get the row number or .Column to get the column number

how to copy cells from sheet 1 to sheet 2 without removing data on sheet 2

I need code, as my title suggests, for the following task. I already tried a lot of different code but it's still not working.
I only need to move 2 columns, "SKU" and "Discount", into sheet2 using command button and delete it right away.
I'm already okay for this coding. However, but the problem is just beginning.
When I succeed to moved the first data, and try to move the 2nd data, the 1st data disappears.
I already tried many ways but still can't figure it out what's wrong with the code.
Please check the following code:
Sub OUTGOING_GOODS()
function1
function2
clear
Range_End_Method
End Sub
Sub function1()
Sheets("Invoice Print").Range("B21:B27").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Outgoing Goods").Range("D4")
End Sub
Sub function2()
Sheets("Invoice Print").Range("D21:D27").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Outgoing Goods").Range("L4")
End Sub
Sub clear()
Range("B21:B27").clear
End Sub
I also need to change the range for input data as well. As you can see the Range is defined only from D21:D27, but I need more than row 27 just in case there is additional data inputted.
Already tried the following code:
With Worksheets("Sheet2")
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "L").End(xlUp).Row
For Each cell In Range("D4:D" & LastRow)
DestinationRow = LastRow + 1
Next
For Each cell In Range("L4:L" & LastRow)
DestinationRow = LastRow + 1
Next
End With
And
Lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To InputData
Lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For j = 1 To 3
.Cells(lastrow + 1, j).Value = InputData(i, j)
Next j
Next i
End With
This still isn't working.
Based on our discussions thus far I'd suggest the following:
Sub Outgoing_Goods_New()
'
Dim Outgoing As Worksheet 'Generally it's better to use Worksheet variables. Saves the trouble of having to re-type the sheet name each time you reference the sheet
Dim Invoice As Worksheet
Dim LastRow_Invoice As Long
Dim LastRow_Outgoing As Long
Set Outgoing = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Outgoing Goods")
Set Invoice = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Invoice Print")
'Find the last row of Outgoing column D that's used so we know where to paste the new set of outgoing goods
LastRow_Outgoing = Outgoing.Range("D1048576").End(xlUp).Row
'Make sure column L of Outgoing ends at the same point
If Outgoing.Range("L1048576").End(xlUp).Row > LastRow_Outgoing Then
LastRow_Outgoing = Outgoing.Range("L1048576").End(xlUp).Row
End If 'else column L's last used row is farther up the worksheet or the same row. Either way no need to update the value
'Determine how much data to copy
LastRow_Invoice = Invoice.Range("B1048576").End(xlUp).Row 'I'm assuming Column D of Invoice Print has to end at the same row. If not, use the same IF statement as above, but
'checking column D of Invoice
'Copy the data from column B
Invoice.Range("B2:B" & LastRow_Invoice).Copy
'Paste to Outgoing Goods
Outgoing.Range("B" & LastRow_Outgoing).PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
'Copy Column D of Invoice
Invoice.Range("D2:D" & LastRow_Invoice).Copy
Outgoing.Range("L" & LastRow_Outgoing).PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
'Clear the data from Invoice print
Invoice.Range("B2:B" & LastRow_Invoice).ClearContents 'Removes the Value, but leaves formatting, comments, etc. alone
End Sub
This is mostly the logic you already had, but I did some clean-up to remove ambiguities and genericize the logic a little. Also, notice that I didn't keep the separate Subs. With how little you're doing there's just not any benefit to parsing the logic, especially with none of the code being re-used.
Last, I didn't delete column D on Invoice Print assuming that the cells just held formulas that pull in new data based on the values in Column B. If that's not the case, it seems like you should add a second ClearContents to delete Column D as well, but that's not certain given the vagueness of your use case.

Excel: Click button to copy row onto another worksheet

I know, I know. There are a ton of suggestions how to solve that particular problem, but somehow they all tend to fail with me.
What I have (simplified): A (Mac) Excel-Sheet "Output" with:
Name Time Date
Mike 08:00 01.01.2016
The second row is yielding the data based on some input on yet another sheet.
What I need:
Whenever I will change the second row of "Output" (i.e. changing the input), I can click a button to add the entire second row onto a new worksheet "Log" (that will feature a header as well). Essentially logging the data upon clicking the button. The data can only be added once, multiple entries of the same data are deleted. After logging the data in "Log", the second row of "Output" does not need to be cleared, however I should not be able to add the same data again.
Any thoughts?
*EDIT
I modified the code from here: http://goo.gl/48jjDo.
Sub Submit()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim refTable As Variant, trans As Variant
refTable = Array("A = A2", "B = B2", "C=C2")
Dim Row As Long
Row = Worksheets("Log").UsedRange.Rows.Count + 1
For Each trans In refTable
Dim Dest As String, Field As String
Dest = Trim(Left(trans, InStr(1, trans, "=") - 1)) & Row
Field = Trim(Right(trans, Len(trans) - InStr(1, trans, "=")))
Worksheets("Log").Range(Dest).value = Worksheets("Output").Range(Field).value
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
*Edit2
Ok this got me further:
Sub CopyRangeFromSheet1toSheet2()
Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A100000").End(xlUp).Row + 1 ' then next free row in sheet2
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:C2").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A" & lastRow)
End Sub
However, how do I check now for multiple data? And I will need to paste only the values.
So far this works:
Sub CopyFormulas()
Dim sht1 As Worksheet, sht2 As Worksheet
Set sht1 = Sheets("Output")
Set sht2 = Sheets("Log")
sht1.Range("A2:C2").Copy
sht2.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Application.CutCopyMode = False
response = MsgBox("data was added")
End Sub
Not it is only the check for multiple entries that is missing

Need to summarize data from multiple excel worksheets onto one summary page

I'm trying to create a yearly summary for some of our transfers. Essentially, I have 12 sheets, one for each month of the year, and each entry is given one of four specific "Transfer Rationales" in column L. I need to be able to create a worksheet that gives me a running year-to-date summary based on each transfer rationale.
So say, for example, the transfer rationale I'm looking at is called "Incorrectly Assigned" - I think need to have the summary page show columns G-K of each row where column L is "Incorrectly Assigned" from all twelve month sheets.
I've been looking at VBA code and trying to tweak some to work, but I could use some help!
EDIT:
Obviously it's not working as I need or I wouldn't be here, but I don't have much knowledge about VBA. I have something here where the code is grabbing the entries where column L met the criteria, but it was
a) copying all the columns, and I only need G-K to paste, and
b) was putting the copied rows all in one row in the summary tab, so I could see the data for a split second, and then it would overwrite with the next line and so on until it finally settled on the last entry found.
SECOND EDIT:
So I have a code that now (mostly) works, I've pasted it below and deleted the old code above.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim WkSht As Worksheet
Dim r As Integer
Dim i As Integer
i = 1
For Each WkSht In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
i = i + 1
If WkSht.Name <> "Incorrectly Assigned" Then
For r = 1 To 1000
If WkSht.Range("L" & r).Value = Sheets("Incorrectly Assigned").Range("A1").Value Then
WkSht.Range("E:L").Rows(r & ":" & r).Copy
Sheets("Incorrectly Assigned").Range("E:L").End(xlUp).Offset(i, 0).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
End If
Next r
End If
Next WkSht
End Sub
The problem now is that it is only grabbing the last match from each worksheet - so say January has four matching entries, it's only pasting the fourth entry, then the next row down it'll paste the last entry from February etc. and then if there's an entry in say November that matches, it'll be pasted in the 11th row from the beginning, rather than each entry being pasted one after another.
Better to create a sub-routine that you call from your "CommandButton1". Then you can call the procedure from more than one location. You can also generalize it by using an input parameter 'transferID' which defines the summary you want.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Call PrintSummary("Incorrectly Assigned")
End Sub
It will likely need some tweaking to get it how you want, but this should give you some ideas to get you started:
Sub PrintSummary(transferID As String)
Dim ws As Excel.Worksheet
Dim wso As Excel.Worksheet
Dim lrow As Long
Dim rng As Excel.Range
Dim rngo As Excel.Range
Dim cell As Excel.Range
Dim colH As Variant
Dim i As Integer
'// Define columns for output
colH = Array("G", "H", "I", "J", "K")
'// Check for summary sheet (for output)
On Error Resume Next
Set wso = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary")
On Error GoTo 0
If wso Is Nothing Then
'// Summary worksheet does not exist :/
Exit Sub
Else '// format worksheet for output
'// for example...
wso.Cells.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Set rngo = wso.Range("A1") '// define output start
Set wso = Nothing
End If
'// Loop through worksheets
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
'// Check for valid worksheet name
Select Case VBA.UCase(ws.Name)
Case "JAN", "FEB" '// and so forth...
Set rng = ws.Range("L1")
Set rng = ws.Range(rng, ws.Cells(Rows.Count, rng.Column).End(xlUp))
For Each cell In rng
If (VBA.UCase(cell.Text) = VBA.UCase(transferID)) Then
'// Print meta data
rngo.Offset(lrow, 0).Value = ws.Name
rngo.Offset(lrow, 1).Value = transferID
'// Print values
For i = 0 To UBound(colH)
rngo.Offset(lrow, i + 2).Value = ws.Cells(cell.Row, VBA.CStr(colH(i))).Value
Next i
'// Update counter
lrow = lrow + 1
End If
Next cell
Case Else
'// Not a month? do nothing
End Select
Next ws
End Sub
You do not need VBA - just refence the cell in the other tab:
SheetName!CellAddress
Precede the cell address with the worksheet name, and follow it with an exclamation point.
If you need VBA, then I have understood your question incorrectly.
EDIT:
Lets start with problem B:
was putting the copied rows all in one row in the summary tab
Lets look at the code you use to paste values:
Sheets("Summary").Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Here you always paste everyting in the same place, in cell A65536 which you offset by one. On every iteration of your loop, the values will be at the same place. Change the Offset(1) to
Offset(0, r)
Now on every iteration you will paste on a different row, because r will be 1, 2, ..., 1000. See MSDN for documentation on Offset. Select a values that accomplished a paste the way you need.
Lets go to the next question:
a) it was copying all the columns
I will edit once the first part works as it should for you.
