Copy specific cell to another worksheet - vba

This has been driving me crazy and is something that should be easy, but I never touched vba before, so...
I have a for loop iterating on a row searching for matching occurrences, I know the loop is working because I can get an accurate count of the number of matching occurrences. Essentially "if month = month then counter=counter+1"
Whenever the loop finds a matching occurrence I need it to copy a specific cell (let's say AA22) to another worksheet, but I cant get it to work, it keeps throwing error codes with super broad and vague descriptions. I've tried a few of the solutions here and a few on other forums, nothing works correctly. Also, it seems every solution works with ranges, I need one that copies cells one by one.
Here's my code:
Dim chomonth As Integer
chomonth = InputBox("Insira o mes ", "Inserir dados")
Dim counter As Integer
Dim rng As Range
Dim rw As Range
Dim cell As Range
Set rng = Range("S3:S9999")
For Each rw In rng.Rows
If month(rw.row) = chomonth Then
//Code that copies AArw to worksheet 2 goes here
counter = counter + 1
End If
Next rw
MsgBox ("Numero de entradas:" & Count)

Try this:
If month(rw.row) = chomonth Then
counter = counter + 1
Worksheets("Sheet2").Cells(counter, 1).Value = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(rw.row, 27).Value
End If

Reference a Range using column number rather than column letter

I feel like this should be simple because I have found a million references online on how to do this. I've tried several different combos to no avail.
I am simply trying to reference a column using the LastCol variable within a range, but keep getting the error below. The error occurs on the line labeled with a ->. I've tried several different variations, including using the letter name for the first range paramter with a colon, comma, moving the quotes around, putting "." before the Cells references, etc. Every time I look up how to do this online, it seems like I am doing it right.
This is my code:
Public Sub cmb_orgname_Change()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim orgname As String
Dim org_position As Double
Dim LastCol, LastRow As Integer
Dim prod_range As Range
Dim cell As Range
Set sht = Sheet1
'get the value of the selected org name from the dropdown
orgname = sht.OLEObjects("cmb_orgname").Object.Value
'find the last column for the number of org names, currently this is not being utilized
LastCol = Sheet3.Range("F2").End(xlToRight).Column
If orgname <> "" Then
Call Clear_ComboBox
-> org_position = WorksheetFunction.Match(orgname, Sheet3.Range(Cells(2, 6), Cells(2, LastCol)), 0) + 6
LastRow = Sheet3.Cells(Sheet3.Rows.Count, org_position).End(xlUp).Row
Set prod_range = Sheet3.Range(Sheet3.Cells(3, org_position), Sheet3.Cells(LastRow, org_position))
For Each cell In prod_range
With sht.OLEObjects("cmb_prodname").Object
Dim test As String
test = CStr(cell.Value)
.AddItem CStr(cell.Value)
End With
Next cell
End If
End Sub
after many different iterations of different searches, I found a function called ADDRESS() that comes after a range. With the ADDRESS function, I was able to make this work! Basically, all I had to do was change my line to the following:
org_position = WorksheetFunction.Match(orgname, Sheet3.Range("F2:" & Sheet3.Cells(2, LastCol).Address()), 0) + 6
And now it is running smoothly. This is the page I found the ADDRESS function and information on: https://software-solutions-online.com/use-vba-range-address-method/

Search Range for Value Change, Copy Whole Row if Found

I'm very new to VBA (~4 days new) and have tried to solve this issue in my usual method, through reading lots of different posts on resources like this and experimenting, but have not been able to quite get the hang of it. I hope you fine folks are willing to point out where I'm going wrong with this. I've looked at a lot (all?) of the threads with similar issues but haven't been able to cobble together a solution for myself from them. I hope you'll forgive this if it has already been answered somewhere else.
Context:
I've got a spreadsheet with items in rows 5-713 down column B (merged up to cell J) where for each date (Columns K-SP) the item is scored either a 1 or a 0. My goal is to create a list at the bottom of the worksheet that contains all items which have gone from 1 to 0. To start, I've simply been trying to get my "generate list" button to copy all rows with a 0 in them to the bottom, figuring I would tweak it later to do exactly what I wanted. I've tried several things and gotten several different errors.
Worksheet Sample for a visual of what I'm talking about.
I've gone through several different attempts and have had limited success with each, usually getting a different error every time. I've had "method 'range of object' _Worksheet failed", "object required", "type mismatch", "out of memory", and a few others. I'm sure I'm simply not grasping some of the basic syntax, which is causing some problems.
Here is the latest batch of code, giving me the error 'type mismatch'. I've also tried having 'todo' be string but that just shoots out 'object required'
Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim y As Integer, z As Integer, todo As Range
Set todo = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(5, 2), Cells(713, 510))
y = 5
z = 714
With todo
Do
If todo.Rows(y).Value = 0 Then
todo.Copy Range(Cells(z, 2))
y = y + 1
z = z + 1
End If
Loop Until y = 708
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Another attempt I thought was promising was the following, but it gives me 'out of memory'.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim y As Integer, z As Integer
y = 5
z = 714
Do
If Range("By:SPy").Value = 0 Then
Range("By:SPy").Copy Range("Bz")
y = y + 1
z = z + 1
End If
Loop Until y = 708
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Just to reiterate, the code attempts I've posted were simply to get any row containing 0's to the bottom of the spreadsheet, however, if there's a way define the criteria to search for 1's that turn to 0's, that would be amazing! Also, I'm not sure how to differentiate a 0 in the actual data and a zero in the item name (for example, it would not be great to have 'Item 10' go into the list just because 10 is a 1 with a 0 after it).
Any help to figure out this first step, or even how to have it scan for 1's that turn to 0's would be wonderfully appreciated. I'm sure I'm missing something simple and hope you guys can forgive my ignorance.
Thanks!
This looks through the data and copies it down below the last row of the data. It is assuming there is nothing below the data. It also only looks for zeros after it finds a 1.

Range Error - Loop to increase row index vba

This is a portion of my code. In the end, I want to loop through cells, find the text in between two phrases, concatenate that, and paste it into determined columns. Once the code finds "ID", it will add a row to the paste range, and start over. (this is near the bottom).
What I can't do, is get the range in each section to cooperate. When I use 'wksSource.Range(Cells(R, 2)).Value = stringValues' it throws the error: 1004, Method range of object worksheet failed. But if I use 'wksSource.Range("B15").Value = stringValues' it is completely fine. The problem is, that isn't dynamic. I need 'R' to increase everytime the phrase "ID" is found. The columns will be constant for each section. (R,2) (R,3) etc.
I've done so much googling and I understand why that error is thrown; I just can't figure out why it's happening in this instance. Worksheet is defined... and it works with "B15", so I'm thinking the error is in the "R", but I am stuck.
Please help! (I realize this could probably be a loop all the way, and I'd love to hear advice on that if you want, but for now, I am trying to learn and it seems the best way for me to do that is one piece at a time. Increase rows with a small loop today, tackle big loops tomorrow. :))
Dim rng As Range, AllPos As Range, rngEnd As Range, rngStart As Range
Dim DeptRng As Variant, stringValues As String, cell As Range, NextRow As Variant
Dim R As Integer, lastRowCon As Integer, wksSource As Worksheet, paste As Range
Set AllPos = Range("A2:A53")
R = 2
Set wksSource = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Set rngStart = AllPos.Find("Department Description:").Cells
If Not rngStart Is Nothing Then
Set rngEnd = AllPos.Find("Position Duties :").Cells
Set DeptRng = Range(rngStart, rngEnd.Offset(1))
For Each C In DeptRng
stringValues = stringValues & C
Next C
wksSource.Range(Cells(R, 2)).Value = stringValues
stringValues = ""
End If
.....several iterations of above here.....
Set rngStart = AllPos.Find("ID:").Cells
If Not rngStart Is Nothing Then
'Finds last row of content
lastRowCon = wksSource.Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row
'Finds first row without content
R = lastRowCon + 1
'select next empty row, Column B
End If
wksSource.Cells(R, 2).Value = stringValues
If it's a single cell, you don't need Range().
Edit: See this for further examples. If you give the Range property one parameter, it has to be the name of a Range. Cells(i,j) returns a Range object and you don't need/can't use Cells(i,j) as a name of itself. When you use Cells(i,j) it's like using ActiveSheet.Cells(i,j), btw.

How to get the value of a range within a range

So I need to extract information from a sheet with only certain values. From about 550 rows down to 50 which are spread across the entire sheet.
So I used autofilter for that. Now I only see the rows which match to my criteria but how can I get the values of a specific range from?
This far I came:
I know that I have to use
RangeINamed.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
to work with only the visible information.
It worked for getting the starting and last row
startRow = bulkbatchRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).row
endRow = startRow + bulkbatchRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).rows.Count
But now I need to get the value of a specific column, I want to use a For loop so I can loop through all visible rows.
So I tried to do
RangeINamed.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).range("U" & rowNumber).value
That didn't work it gave me nothing. Now I'm rather clueless so does someone maybe know how I get the value of that row in column U in RangeINamed?
Thank you
You can always retrieve the value in a specific cell like U10 with:
Range("U10").Value
whether the row is hidden or not.
EDIT#1:
Here is a little example that loops down thru column A of an AutoFiltered table. It looks for the third visible row (not including the header row):
Sub GoDownFilter()
Dim rLook As Range, r As Range
Set rLook = Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, Range("A:A").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible))
rLook.Select
K = 0
For Each r In rLook
If K = 3 Then
r.Select
MsgBox "The third visible row has been selected"
Exit Sub
End If
K = K + 1
Next r
End Sub
I think you need to choose if you want to get a specific cell like:
Range("U10").Value
Or a relative cell using something like
RangeINamed.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)(2,3).Value
Or
RangeINamed.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)(2,3).Address 'To see if you are getting it right
EDIT:
A complete code to Filter and Iterate.
Sub Filter()
Dim tableRange As Range, var, actualRow As Integer, lastRow As Integer
Set tableRange = Range("PUT_THE_TABLE_RANGE_HERE")
' Filter
With tableRange
Call .AutoFilter(5, "SPECIFIC_FILTER")
End With
Set f = tableRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
With tableRange
Call .AutoFilter(5)
End With
For Each var In f.Cells.Rows
actualRow = var.Row
If actualRow <> 1 Then
' Do something
End If
Next
End Sub

When I run above macro I don't know why it is giving Type Mismatch Error after MsgBox coll(j) , simply I want to store data in Array and I'm passing that data , Here I am using For Each r In Range("A1:A10") Where A10 length is static how can I find last written column?
When you add something to collection the key needs to be a string so use:
coll.Add r.Value, CStr(r.Value)
instead of:
coll.Add r.Value, r.Value
You are still assigning coll(j) to a Variant which is not an array.
You need to:
ReDim myArr(1 to coll.Count)
Before your for loop and then in the loop:
myArr(j) = coll(j)
Before attempting to respond to this question, I would like to write what I believe you are trying to accomplish; when you confirm this is what you are trying to do, I will try to help you get working code to achieve it. This would normally be done with comments, but the threads of comments so far are a bit disjointed, and the code is quite complex...
You have data in a sheet (called "sheet1" - it might be something else though)
The first column contains certain values that might be repeated
You don't know how many columns there might be... you would like to know that though
You attempt to find each unique value in column A (call it the "key value"), and display it (one at a time) in a message box. This looks more like a debug step than actual functionality for the final program.
You then turn on the autofilter on column A; selecting only rows that match a certain value
Using that same value as the name of a sheet, you see if such a sheet exists: if it does, you clear its contents; if it does not, then you create it at the end of the workbook (and give it the name of the key)
You select all rows with the same (key) value in column A on sheet1, and copy them to the sheet whose name is equal to the value in column A that you filtered on
You want to repeat step 5-8 for each of the unique (key) values in column A
When all is done, I believe you have (at least) one more sheet than you had key values in column A (you also have the initial data sheet); however you do not delete any "superfluous" sheets (with other names). Each sheet will have only rows of data corresponding to the current contents of sheet1 (any earlier data was deleted).
During the operation you turn autofiltering on and off; you want to end up with auto filter disabled.
Please confirm that this is indeed what you are attempting to do. If you could give an idea of the format of the values in column A, that would be helpful. I suspect that some things could be done rather more efficiently than you are currently doing them. Finally I do wonder whether the whole purpose of organizing your data in this way might be to organize the data in a specific way, and maybe do further calculations / graphs etc. There are all kinds of functions built in to excel (VBA) to make the job of data extraction easier - it's rare that this kind of data rearranging is necessary to get a particular job done. If you would care to comment on that...
The following code does all the above. Note the use for For Each, and functions / subroutines to take care of certain tasks (unique, createOrClear, and worksheetExists). This makes the top level code much easier to read and understand. Also note that the error trapping is confined to just a small section where we check if a worksheet exists - for me it ran without problems; if any errors occur, just let me know what was in the worksheet since that might affect what happens (for example, if a cell in column A contains a character not allowed in a sheet name, like /\! etc. Also note that your code was deleting "CurrentRegion". Depending on what you are trying to achieve, "UsedRange" might be better...
