Count and Print from an range - vba

Question

I have an array of data, a screenshot of it will be linked at the bottom of this text. Row and column references are to the screenshot.
I am trying to write a macro that will output all the dates that occur within the dynamic range (Column H). And then in column I I want the column header # row i.e I4.
But if there is more than 1 count at the date, I would like the second school to output into column J. As it would for the date 26/03/18, looking like this:
h5 = 26/03/18 , i5(Event1) = Task 2 # 1, j5(Event2) = task 2 # 4
I have tried many ways today and would like some assistance.

My Code thus far(For the more complex sheet):
Sub Events()
'How many schools there are
Dim sh As Worksheet
' This needs to change for each sheets
Set sh = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Easter 18")
Dim k As Long
k = sh.Range("A3").End(xlDown).Row 'Counts up from bottow - Number of schools attained
Ro = Range("M52").value = k - 2 'Elimiates the two top rows as headers
'Now I need to search the Range of dates
Dim TaskDates As Range
Dim StartCell As Range 'First part of Array
Dim EndCell As Range 'End of Array
Set EndCell = Range("J" & 2 + k) 'maybe 2 or 3
Set StartCell = Range("G3")
Set TaskDates = Range(StartCell, EndCell) 'Dynamic Range
'Within the range of data print out the most left row header (school name) - and task with # in the middle - ascending
' If Column has date (true) create a table with Date (col 1), Event (col 2), Event 2 (Col3) etc etc
Dim dict As Object
Set dict = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
Dim varray As Variant, element As Variant
varray = TaskDates.value
'Generate unique list and count
For Each element In varray
If dict.exists(element) Then
dict.item(element) = dict.item(element) + 1
Else
dict.Add element, 1
End If
Next
'Paste report somewhere -
'First line ouptuts the dates occured
sh.Range("M55").Resize(dict.Count).value = 'Was working now saying syntax error for this line.
WorksheetFunction.Transpose (dict.keys)
' The count works if cell format is correct
CDates = sh.Range("N55").Resize(dict.Count, 1).value = _
WorksheetFunction.Transpose(dict.items)
End Sub
Please feel free to redesign it if you see fit.

Answer 1

you can go this way
Option Explicit
Sub Tasks()
Dim cell As Range, f As Range
With Worksheets("schools") 'change "schools" to your actual sheet name
For Each cell In .Range("C4:F" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row) 'reference its column C:F from row 4 down to column B last not empty cell
If IsDate(cell.value) Then 'if current cell value is a valid date
Set f = .Range("H3", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp)).Find(what:=cell.value, lookat:=xlWhole, LookIn:=xlValues) 'try finding the date in column H
If f Is Nothing Then Set f = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp).Offset(1) 'if date not already in column H then get its first empty cell after last not empty one
f.value = cell.value 'write the date (this is sometimes not necessary, but not to "ruin" the code)
.Cells(f.Row, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(, 1).value = .Cells(3, cell.Column).value & " #" & .Cells(cell.Row, 2).value ' write the record in the first not empty cell in the "date" row
End If
Next
End With
End Sub

Answer 2

Took a shot at this. Just a couple nested loops testing against the dates, making sure that the date found isn't already listed under the date column. As I stated before, you never said what to do if more than 3 dates are found, so I had to add a fourth event column and assume that that's the max. Anything more than 4 dates won't be recorded anywhere, FYI.
Sub MoveDates()
Dim i As Long, j As Long, sht As Worksheet, lastrow As Long, lastrow2 As Long, refrow As Long
Set sht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
lastrow = sht.Cells(sht.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
lastrow2 = sht.Cells(sht.Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp).Row + 1
For i = 4 To lastrow
For j = 3 To 6
If Cells(i, j).Value <> "" And Cells(i, j).Value <> "n/a" Then
If Not Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("H4:H" & lastrow), Cells(i, j)) > 0 Then
lastrow2 = sht.Cells(sht.Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp).Row + 1
Range("H" & lastrow2).Value = Cells(i, j).Value
If Range("I" & lastrow2).Value = "" Then
Range("I" & lastrow2).Value = Cells(3, j).Value & " # " & Cells(i, 2).Value
ElseIf Range("J" & lastrow2).Value = "" Then
Range("J" & lastrow2).Value = Cells(3, j).Value & " # " & Cells(i, 2).Value
ElseIf Range("K" & lastrow2).Value = "" Then
Range("K" & lastrow2).Value = Cells(3, j).Value & " # " & Cells(i, 2).Value

Exit For
