Splitting a value that is delimitted - vba

transactions sheet
ID1 Name Amount ID2
123 A 1 0;124;0
456 B 2 124;0;0
789 C 3 456;0;0
transactions sheet (Expected Result)
ID1 Name Amount ID2 Summary
123 A 1 0;124;0 124
456 B 2 124;0;0 456
789 C 3 456;0;0
I have tried text to columns but I am unsure on how to ignore all the 0's and only display the value if its >0 in column D. I am new to vba so would appreciate some advice on this so I can learn.
Code:
Sub SplitRange()
Dim cell As Range
Dim str As Variant 'string array
Dim r As Integer
For Each cel In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If InStr(cell.Value, ";") > 0 Then 'split
str = Split(cell.Value, ";")
For r = LBound(str) To UBound(str)
cel.Offset(r).Value = Trim(str(r))
If r < UBound(str) Then cell.Offset(r + 1).EntireRow.Insert
Next r
End If
Next cell
End Sub

At first we should not loop through all used cells but only the row where these ID2 are that we need, which is a lot faster.
The easiest way would be just to remove all ;0 and 0; then only the value remains. The following will work if there is always only one real value that is not 0 e.g 0;124;0.
Public Sub FindValueRangeInColumn()
Const Col As Long = 4 'the column where the ID2 is in
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
Dim lRow As Long
lRow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, Col).End(xlUp).Row 'find last used row in column
Dim iRow As Long
For iRow = 2 To lRow 'loop throug rows from 2 to last used row
Dim strSource As String
strSource = ws.Cells(iRow, Col) 'read value
strSource = Replace(ws.Cells(iRow, Col), ";0", "") 'remove all ;0
If Left$(strSource, 2) = "0;" Then strSource = Right$(strSource, Len(strSource) - 2) 'remove 0; from the beginnning
ws.Cells(iRow, Col + 1).Value = strSource 'write value
Next iRow
End Sub
If there can be more than 1 non-zero value like 0;124;0;222;0;0;144 then replace
ws.Cells(iRow, Col + 1).Value = strSource 'write value
with a splitting alternative …
If InStr(1, strSource, ";") > 1 Then
Dim SplitValues As Variant
SplitValues = Split(strSource, ";")
Dim iValue As Long
For iValue = LBound(SplitValues) To UBound(SplitValues)
ws.Cells(iRow, Col + 1 + iValue).Value = SplitValues(iValue) 'write value
Next iValue
Else
ws.Cells(iRow, Col + 1).Value = strSource 'write value
End If

Morning,
What you need here is to split the entry into an array and then check the values of the array as you loop the array:
Sub SplitString()
Dim TempArray() As String
Dim i as Integer
Dim j As Integer
For i = 1 To 10
TempArray = Split(Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i,4).Value,";")
For j = 0 to UBound(TempArray)
If CDbl(TempArray(j)) <> 0 Then
[Output value]
End if
Next j
Next i
End Sub
Create a more useful loop than 1 = 1 to 10 but you get the idea...
Note in the above:
- The CDbl is to ensure that the check reads it as a number and not a text string.

So, you want to concatenate non-0 values into a string, then put that in the next cell?
Sub SplitRange()
Dim workcell As Range
Dim str() As String 'string array
Dim r As Long 'VBA automatically stores Integers as Longs, so there is no Memory saved by not using Long
Dim output As String
output = ";" 'Start with a single delimiter
For Each workcell In Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange,ActiveSheet.Columns(4)) 'Go down the cells in Column D
If InStr(workcell.Value, ";") > 0 Then 'split
str = Split(workcell.Value,";")
For r = LBound(str) To UBound(str)
If inStr(output, ";" & Trim(str(r)) & ";") < 1 Then 'If number is not already in output
output = output & Trim(str(r)) & ";" 'Add the number and ";" to the end of the string
End If
Next r
Erase str 'Tidy up array, ready to recycle
End If
Next workcell
'We now have a unique list of all items, starting/ending/delimited with ";"
output = Replace(output,";0;",";") 'Remove the item ";0;" if it exists
If Len(output) > 2 Then 'output contains at least 1 non-zero number
output= Mid(output,2,len(output)-2) 'Remove ";" from the start and end
str = Split(output,";") 'Split the list of unique values into an array
For r = lbound(str) To ubound(str)
ActiveSheet.Cells(r+2-lbound(str),5).Value = str(r) 'List the values in column 5, starting from row 2
Next r
Erase str 'Tidy up array
End If
End Sub
To remove "0"s from a single row as an Excel formula, try this:
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE("|;" & A1 & ";|", ";0;",";"),";|",""),"|;","")
From the inside-out:
SUBSTITUTE("|;" & A1 & ";|", ";0;",";") Sandwich our values in wrappers ("|;0;240;0;|") and replace any ";0;" with ";" ("|;240;|")
.
SUBSTITUTE(PREV,";|","") Remove ";|" ("|;240")
.
SUBSTITUTE(PREV,"|;","") Remove "|;" ("240")

VBA, Parse by "|" and Transpose, Next row

I have the following data in a cells A1
|stack|over|flow|
and cells A2..
|today|is|friday
How can I delimit this and transpose it into a vertical/column based view view?
Delimiting will give me data row based, which is good but that I have to transpose this manually each time. I plan to do this for many rows. I realized this could be tricky as the next row will need to be pushed back down for each time.
Result A1:A6:

Edit
For unlimited rows and unlimited columns:
Sub splt()
Dim str As String
Dim col As Long, rw As Long, colcnt As Long, rwcnt As Long
With Sheets("Sheet1")
colcnt = .Cells(1, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column 'total no of columns
For col = 1 To colcnt
rwcnt = .Cells(.Rows.Count, col).End(xlUp).Row 'total no of rows for specific column
For rw = 1 To rwcnt
str = str & .Cells(rw, col)
Next rw
rw = 1
For Each Item In Split(str, "|") 'split string and display output
If Item <> "" Then
.Cells(rw, col) = Item
rw = rw + 1
End If
Next
str = ""
Next
End With
End Sub
Edit:
You can use an array for this, but the following method is less complicated to easy to write and read:
Sub splt()
Dim rw As Long, i As Long, rwcnt As Long
i = 1
With Sheets("Sheet1")
rwcnt = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row 'last non-empty row number
For rw = 1 To rwcnt 'from row 1 till last non-empty row
For Each Item In Split(.Cells(rw, 2), "|") 'split the string in column 2 from "|"
If Item <> "" Then ' 'if the splitted part of the string is not empty
.Cells(i, 4) = .Cells(rw, 1) 'populate column 4 with column 1
.Cells(i, 5) = Item 'populate column 5 with splitted part of the string
.Cells(i, 6) = .Cells(rw, 3) 'populate column 6 with column 3
i = i + 1 ' increase i variable by one to be able to write the next empty row for the next loop
End If
Next 'loop to next splitted string
Next rw 'loop to next row
.Columns("A:C").EntireColumn.Delete 'when all data is extracted to Columns D-E-F, delete Columns A-B-C and your results will be in Column A-B-C now
End With
End Sub
This one manages an unlimited number of rows on column A
Sub go()
Dim strFoo As String
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim LastPosition As Long
Dim MySheet As Worksheet
Dim arr() As String
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Set MySheet = ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
MySheet.Range("A1").EntireColumn.Insert
LastRow = MySheet.Cells(MySheet.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
LastPosition = 1
For i = 1 To LastRow
strFoo = MySheet.Range("B" & i)
If strFoo <> "" Then
arr = Split(strFoo, "|")
For j = 0 To UBound(arr)
If arr(j) <> "" Then
MySheet.Range("A" & LastPosition) = arr(j)
LastPosition = LastPosition + 1
End If
Next j
End If
Next i
End Sub
You can do this with Power Query or Get & Transform
Data --> Get & Transform Data --> From Table/Range
Then in the Query Editor
Split Column by Delimiter
Use a Custom Delimiter: the Pipe |
Split at left most (to get rid of that first pipe
Remove Column 1 (the blank column)
Split Column by delimiter
Use the Advanced Option and select to split into rows
Save and you are done.

Excel VBA: Transpose different parts of a string

I have values that are horizontally in cells next to each other. In each cell, I'm extracting a certain substring of the cell and want to transpose each part vertically in certain columns.
Example:
ColA ColB ColC
First.Second<Third> Fourth.Fifth<Sixth> Seventh.Eighth<Ninth>
Should look like on a new worksheet (ws2):
ColA ColB ColC
First Second Third
Fourth Fifth Sixth
Seventh Eighth Ninth
I tried looping over rows and columns, but that skipped randomly
For i = 2 to lastRow
lastCol = ws.Cells(i, ws.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
For j = 2 to lastCol
cellVal = ws.Cells(i, j).Value
firstVal = Split(cellVal, ".")
secondVal = 'extract second val
thirdVal = 'extract third val
ws2.Cells(i,1).Value = firstVal
ws2.Cells(i,2).Value = secondVal
ws3.Cells(i,4).Value = thirdVal
EDIT: Updated almost working code below:
Sub transPose()
Dim used As Range
Set used = Sheet1.UsedRange 'make better constraint if necessary
Dim cell As Range
Dim arr(0 To 3) As String
Dim str As String
Dim pointStr As Variant, arrowSplit As Variant
Dim rowCount As Long
rowCount = 0
For Each cell In used 'This goes across rows and then down columns
str = Trim(cell.Value2)
If str <> "" Then 'Use better qualification if necessary
spaceStr = Split(str, " ")
arr(0) = spaceStr(0)
arr(1) = spaceStr(1)
arrowSplit = Split(spaceStr(1), "<")
arr(2) = LCase(Mid(str, Application.Find("<", str) + 1, 1)) & LCase(arrowSplit(0))
openEmail = InStr(str, "<")
closeEmail = InStr(str, ">")
arr(3) = Mid(str, openEmail + 1, closeEmail - openEmail - 1)
rowCount = rowCount + 1
Sheet2.Cells(1 + rowCount, 1).Resize(1, 4).Value = arr
End If
Next cell
End Sub
EDIT2: Data actually looks like
ColA ColB etc...
John Smith<John.Smith#google.com> Jane Doe<Jane.Doe#google.com>
And Should look like:
ColA ColB ColC ColD
John Smith jsmith john.smith#google.com
Jane Doe jdoe jane.doe#google.com
Try this:
Sub transPose()
Dim used As Range
Set used = Sheet1.UsedRange 'make better constraint if necessary
Dim cell As Range
Dim arr(0 To 2) As String
Dim str As String
Dim pointStr As Variant, arrowSplit As Variant
Dim rowCount As Long
rowCount = 0
For Each cell In used 'This goes across rows and then down columns
str = cell.Value2
If str <> "" Then 'Use better qualification if necessary
pointStr = Split(str, ".")
arr(0) = pointStr(0)
arrowSplit = Split(pointStr(1), "<")
arr(1) = arrowSplit(0)
arr(2) = Split(arrowSplit(1), ">")(0)
rowCount = rowCount + 1
Sheet2.Cells(1 + rowCount, 1).Resize(1, 3).Value = arr
End If
Next cell
End Sub
For each input row, you will have 3 output rows, meaning you increment the output row by 3 for each input row. Additionally, the Cells function takes (row, col) parameters.
The math becomes goofy if you're iterating i and j from the start row/col to the last row/col, so I suggest instead iterating over the count of rows/cols and using a starting point for reference, either a cell stored as a Range object or the start row/col.
For i = 0 to ws.Rows.Count
For j = 0 to ws.Columns.Count
cellVal = ws.Cells(i + startRow, j + startCol).Value
firstVal = Split(cellVal, ".")
secondVal = 'extract second val
thirdVal = 'extract third val
ws2.Cells((i*3) + startRow, j + startCol).Value = firstVal
ws2.Cells((i*3) + 1 + startRow, j + startCol).Value = secondVal
ws3.Cells((i*3) + 2 + startRow, j + startCol).Value = thirdVal
Etc...
In fact, if I were doing this, I would probably just make inputRange and outputRange parameters of the function and then just iterate through those. It would simplify both the iteration (no need for the messy startRow or startCol) and the indexing. If you are looking for that sort of solution, drop a comment and I can add it.
edited after OP's edited question
you could try this:
Sub main2()
Dim cell As Range, row As Range
Dim arr As Variant
Dim finalValues(1 To 4) As String
Dim iRow As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("originalData") '<--| change "originalData" to your actual sheet name with starting data
Set ws2 = Worksheets("results") '<--| change "results" to your actual sheet name with starting data
For Each row In ws.UsedRange.Rows
For Each cell In row.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
arr = Split(Replace(Replace(cell.Value, "<", " "), ">", ""), " ")
finalValues(1) = arr(0): finalValues(2) = arr(1): finalValues(3) = Left(arr(0), 1) & arr(1): finalValues(4) = arr(2)
iRow = iRow + 1
ws2.Cells(iRow, 1).Resize(, UBound(finalValues)).Value = finalValues

How to read a string starts with "PR" in a cell ( multiple strings in a cell) and write them to the next column

Option Explicit
Const strText As String = "PR"
Sub InStrTakeNext10()
Dim MainString As String 'String1
Dim SubString As String 'String2
Dim TempString As String 'String3
Dim lastrow As Long, lCount As Long

lastrow = ActiveSheet.Range("J3").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 3 To lastrow
MainString = Range("J" & i)
If InStr(MainString, SubString) <> 0 Then
'HOW CAN I WRITE THE ALREADY FOUND STRING INTO THE NEXT COLUMN?????
'MainString contains the SubString
TempString = Mid(MainString, "SR" + 0, 10)
For j = i + 1 To i + 10
'Copy the next 10 lines to Column H
lCount = lCount + 1
Range("I" & lCount).Value = TempString
'------ MID(C22,FIND("SR",C22)+0,10)
Next j
i = i + 10 'skip the next 10 cells
End If
Next i
End Sub
Please click here to see the Example -The PR numbers in the column c, and i need them to get added to the Column B after rows are added
1.I Initially I have ID and Description Columns with data.
2. The Description section contains multiple strings starts with "PR". This PR is followed by 15 numbers ( maximum)
3. Need to read number of PR strings in the C cell and add that number of raws below.
4. Then write that PR number on B columns for rows ( what is added)

Filter excel table for unique sets

I have an excel table that looks like this:
Row Name
1 uniqueName001_vid1.mpg
2 uniqueName001.mpg
3 uniqueName002_vid1.mpg
4 uniqueName002_vid2.mpg
5 uniqueName002.mpg
I am trying to figure out how to identify and flag(give a unique ID) sets within the table that contain the same uniqueName. For instance Row's 1 and 2 would be one set and Row's 3, 4, and 5 would be another set.
My ideal result is this:
Row Name UID
1 uniqueName001_vid1.mpg SET1
2 uniqueName001.mpg SET1
3 uniqueName002_vid1.mpg SET2
4 uniqueName002_vid2.mpg SET2
5 uniqueName002.mpg SET2
I can run a SQL query in excel if that is better option than excel formula's too.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
If all starts with uniqueNameXXX than it is easy
Row Name UniqueName Unique# UID
1 uniqueName001_vid1.mpg =LEFT(F4;13) =IF(G3<>G4;H3+1;H3) ="UID"&H4
If not, than you should define how to get uniqueName
You can use VBA for that task.

Excel VBA Loop on columns

when we are going to do a loop in the rows, we can use code like the following:
i = 1
Do
Range("E" & i & ":D" & i).Select
i = i + 1
Loop Until i > 10
but what if we want to do a loop on a column?
Can we use the same method as above?
while the columns in Excel is a complex such as A, B, C, ..., Y, Z, AA, AB, AC, ..., etc.
problems will arise between loop from the "Z" to the "AA".
how we do looping alphabet column from "A" to "Z" and then continued into "AA", "AB" and so on
is there anything that can help?
Yes, let's use Select as an example
sample code: Columns("A").select
How to loop through Columns:
Method 1: (You can use index to replace the Excel Address)
For i = 1 to 100
Columns(i).Select
next i
Method 2: (Using the address)
For i = 1 To 100
Columns(Columns(i).Address).Select
Next i
EDIT:
Strip the Column for OP
columnString = Replace(Split(Columns(27).Address, ":")(0), "$", "")
e.g. you want to get the 27th Column --> AA, you can get it this way
Another method to try out.
Also select could be replaced when you set the initial column into a Range object. Performance wise it helps.
Dim rng as Range
Set rng = WorkSheets(1).Range("A1") '-- you may change the sheet name according to yours.
'-- here is your loop
i = 1
Do
'-- do something: e.g. show the address of the column that you are currently in
Msgbox rng.offset(0,i).Address
i = i + 1
Loop Until i > 10
** Two methods to get the column name using column number**
Split()
code
colName = Split(Range.Offset(0,i).Address, "$")(1)
String manipulation:
code
Function myColName(colNum as Long) as String
myColName = Left(Range(0, colNum).Address(False, False), _
1 - (colNum > 10))
End Function
If you want to stick with the same sort of loop then this will work:
Option Explicit
Sub selectColumns()
Dim topSelection As Integer
Dim endSelection As Integer
topSelection = 2
endSelection = 10
Dim columnSelected As Integer
columnSelected = 1
Do
With Excel.ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
.Range(.Cells(columnSelected, columnSelected), .Cells(endSelection, columnSelected)).Select
End With
columnSelected = columnSelected + 1
Loop Until columnSelected > 10
End Sub
EDIT
If in reality you just want to loop through every cell in an area of the spreadsheet then use something like this:
Sub loopThroughCells()
'=============
'this is the starting point
Dim rwMin As Integer
Dim colMin As Integer
rwMin = 2
colMin = 2
'=============
'=============
'this is the ending point
Dim rwMax As Integer
Dim colMax As Integer
rwMax = 10
colMax = 5
'=============
'=============
'iterator
Dim rwIndex As Integer
Dim colIndex As Integer
'=============
For rwIndex = rwMin To rwMax
For colIndex = colMin To colMax
Cells(rwIndex, colIndex).Select
Next colIndex
Next rwIndex
End Sub
Just use the Cells function and loop thru columns.
Cells(Row,Column)
