First post all, so forgive any syntax errors: I've been working on a spreadsheet at work for a long time. Its purpose is to log my calls, as I work in a high volume inbound guest services call center. Sometimes I need to follow up with my guests.
Worksheet is Column A:K, starting at Row 5
Ultimately I'm coding a program to check my records, ignore any row that has data in Column K, then when it finds valid data, copy the records to another sheet, and come back to the main sheet. That part works fine and here is the code for that:
Sub Button2_Click()
Dim sourceEmptyRow As Long
Dim targetEmptyRow As Long
Dim sourceRange As Range
Dim targetRange As Range
'Make Today active
Sheet1.Activate
'Set Variables
sourceEmptyRow = FindNextEmpty(Range("K5")).Row
Set sourceRange = Rows(sourceEmptyRow)
sourceRange.Copy
'Activate Next Sheet
sheetQ4.Activate
'Set Variables
targetEmptyRow = FindNextEmpty(Range("A1")).Row
Set targetRange = Rows(targetEmptyRow)
targetRange.PasteSpecial
Sheet1.Activate
sourceRange.Delete Shift:=xlUp
End Sub
Here is the FindNextEmpty() function (which I'm pretty sure I found here)
Public Function FindNextEmpty(ByVal rCell As Range) As Range
'Finds the first empty cell downwards in a column.
On Error GoTo ErrorHandle
With rCell
'If the start cell is empty it is the first empty cell.
If Len(.Formula) = 0 Then
Set FindNextEmpty = rCell
'If the cell just below is empty
ElseIf Len(.Offset(1, 0).Formula) = 0 Then
Set FindNextEmpty = .Offset(1, 0)
Else
'Finds the last cell with content.
'.End(xlDown) is like pressing CTRL + arrow down.
Set FindNextEmpty = .End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0)
End If
End With
Exit Function
ErrorHandle:
MsgBox Err.Description & ", Function FindNextEmpty."
End Function
My PROBLEM is that I'd like to be able to execute this code block, then when its done, check the next row...if BOTH Column A and K are blank to STOP, otherwise Loop back to the top and execute it on the next row. If I have a long day, I can sometimes get 20-30 calls and pushing a button 20-30 times is not efficient.
I have not SERIOUSLY coded since about 2003, so I'm an EXTREME novice.
Thanks for any help, ideas, insight you can provide.

I am fairly new to VBA and Wondering if someone can help me out.
I have 2 different sheets in a workbook.
Sheet(Raw Data) has a range with Cost Center NameS (Cell BC3 down to empty)
I have to copy Sheet(CC Template) and name it the right 5 characters of Sheet(Raw Data).Range(BC3).Value and change Cell(2,2).value to Sheet(Raw Data).Range(BC3).Value...
Then I want it to go to the next cell in Sheet(Raw Data) ...BC4 and create the second sheet and change the name and Cell(2,2) accordingly until the list in Sheet(Raw Data) ends.
Here is my Code. It creates the first worksheet but then I get run-time Error '1004' at Sheets("Raw Data").Range("BC3").Select in the do until loop. I would like to get rid of X and CCName variable from the code also if possible.
Sub CreateCCTabsinNewPlantFile2()
Dim i As Integer
Dim x As Integer
Dim CCName As String
i = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
x = 1
' Select cell BC3, *first line of data*.
Sheets("Raw Data").Range("BC3").Select
' Set Do loop to stop when an empty cell is reached.
Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
CCName = ActiveCell.Value
' Code to make worksheets
Worksheets("CC Template").Copy after:=Worksheets(i)
ActiveSheet.Name = Right(CCName, 5)
ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 2).Value = CCName
' Step down 1 row from present location.
Sheets("Raw Data").Range("BC3").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(x, 0).Select
x = x + 1
Loop
End Sub
Sub CreateCCTabsinNewPlantFile2()
Dim i As Integer
Dim X As Integer
X = 3 'Starting row in Sheet("Raw Data")
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Raw Data")
Do Until .Cells(X, 55).Value = "" 'cells(x,55)= BC3. First time x= 3 so Cells(3,55)=BC3
i = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count 'we update count everytime, because we are adding new sheets
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("CC Template").Copy after:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(i)
ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Name = Right(.Cells(X, 55).Value, 5)
ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 2).Value = .Cells(X, 55).Value
' We increade X. That makes check a lower rower in next loop.
X = X + 1
Loop
End With
End Sub
Hope this helps.
You get error1004 because you can use Range.Select only in Active Sheet. If you want to Select a Range in different Sheet, first you must Activate that sheet with Sheets("Whatever").Activate.
Also, I Updated your code so you can execute it from any sheet. Your code forces user to have Sheets ("Raw Data") as the ActiveSheet.
Try not use too much Select if you can avoid it. And also , try to get used to Thisworkbook instead of ActiveWorkbook. If you work always in same workbook, is not a problem, but if your macros operate several workbooks, you'll need to difference when to use each one.
Try this code
Sub Test()
Dim rng As Range
Dim cel As Range
With Sheets("Raw Data")
Set rng = .Range("BC3:BC" & .Cells(Rows.Count, "BC").End(xlUp).Row)
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each cel In rng
If Not SheetExists(cel.Value) Then
Sheets("CC Template").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
With ActiveSheet
.Name = Right(cel.Value, 5)
.Range("B2").Value = cel.Value
End With
End If
Next cel
Sheets("Raw Data").Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Function SheetExists(sheetName As String) As Boolean
On Error Resume Next
SheetExists = (LCase(Sheets(sheetName).Name) = LCase(sheetName))
On Error GoTo 0
End Function
I know this has been asked lot of times but I'm having a trouble with VBA, I am very new to VBA.
I'm working with a single workbook that has a working worksheet. basically I need to sort the Currency column, currently have 14 currencies, I need loop through it (since currency may add through time depending on the customer) then copy the row with the criteria paste it to another sheet with its cell value.
my code below.
Option Explicit
Sub SortCurrency()
Dim rng As Range
Dim xCell As Range
Dim I As Long
Dim J As Long
I = Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.Rows.Count
J = Worksheets("Sheet2").UsedRange.Rows.Count
If J = 1 Then
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Worksheets("Sheet2").UsedRange) = 0 Then J = 0
End If
Set rng = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("AB2:AB" & I)
On Error Resume Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each xCell In rng
If CStr(xCell.Value) = "USD" Then
Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = xCell.Value
xCell.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = xCell.Value.Range("A" & J + 1)
'Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
'Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = xCell.Value
Application.CutCopyMode = False
J = J + 1
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I basically got the codes from my research, add them up and not coming into the way I wanted. I wanted to keep the header and the values with criteria,
i,e currency column "AB" is USD as per example above, but the problem is it'll be a lot of coding because I have to go through all 14 currencies plus if there will be new currency that will be added,
also I know there is a way of not declaring multiple sheets and just having another new worksheet with the cell value name but I'm having a problem getting it done all at once. if there will be a simpler and powerful code. I am greatly thankful.
you may want to try this code, exploiting Autofilter() method of Range object
Option Explicit
Sub SortCurrency()
Dim currRng As Range, dataRng As Range, currCell As Range
With Worksheets("Currencies") '<--| change "Currencies" to your actual worksheet name to filter data in and paste from
Set currRng = .Range("AB1", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "AB").End(xlUp))
Set dataRng = Intersect(.UsedRange, currRng.EntireRow)
With .UsedRange
With .Resize(1, 1).Offset(, .Columns.Count)
With .Resize(currRng.Rows.Count)
.Value = currRng.Value
.RemoveDuplicates Array(1), Header:=xlYes
For Each currCell In .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
currRng.AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:=currCell.Value
If Application.WorksheetFunction.Subtotal(103, currRng) - 1 > 0 Then
dataRng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy Destination:=GetOrCreateWorksheet(currCell.Value).Range("A1")
End If
Next currCell
.ClearContents
End With
End With
End With
.AutoFilterMode = False
End With
End Sub
Function GetOrCreateWorksheet(shtName As String) As Worksheet
On Error Resume Next
Set GetOrCreateWorksheet = Worksheets(shtName)
If GetOrCreateWorksheet Is Nothing Then
Set GetOrCreateWorksheet = Worksheets.Add(After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count))
GetOrCreateWorksheet.name = shtName
End If
End Function
You're pretty close with what you've got, but there's a few things to note:
On Error Resume Next is normally a bad plan as it can hide a whole lot of sins. I use it in the code below, but only because I immediately deal with any error that might have happened.
xCell.Value.Range("A" & J + 1) makes no sense. Chop out the middle of that line to leave xCell.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=Sheets(Sheets.Count).Range("A" & J + 1)
Rather than checking if the value is a specific currency, you should be taking the value, whatever currency it is, and dealing with it appropriately.
Using J as a counter works for one currency, but when dealing with multiple, it'll be easier to just check where it should go on the fly.
All told, the below code should be close to what you're looking for.
Option Explicit
Sub SortCurrency()
Dim rng As Range
Dim xCell As Range
Dim targetSheet As Worksheet
Dim I As Long
Dim J As Long
I = Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.Rows.Count
J = Worksheets("Sheet2").UsedRange.Rows.Count
If J = 1 Then
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Worksheets("Sheet2").UsedRange) = 0 Then J = 0
End If
Set rng = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("AB2:AB" & I)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each xCell In rng
Set targetSheet = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set targetSheet = Sheets(xCell.Value)
On Error GoTo 0
If targetSheet Is Nothing Then
Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Set targetSheet = Sheets(Sheets.Count)
targetSheet.Name = xCell.Value
xCell.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=targetSheet.Range("A" & J + 1)
Else
xCell.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=targetSheet.Range("A" & targetSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1)
End If
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
OK, there's quite a lot going on here... I'm going to try and tackle one problem at a time.
1 - You could do with testing whether a worksheet already exists rather than creating it every time
Assuming you want to do something for each and every currency in your loop, I would suggest not using the if condition you're using at the moment, "if value = "USD"", and instead use the cell value to determine the name of the sheet, whatever the cell value is.
First of all you need a seperate function to test whether the sheet exists, like
Public Function DoesSheetExist(SheetName as String)
On Error Resume Next
Dim WkSheet as WorkSheet
'sets worksheet to be the sheet NAMED the current currency name
Set WkSheet = Sheets(SheetName)
'because of on error resume next, WkSheet will simply be "Nothing" if no such sheet exists
If WkSheet is Nothing Then
DoesSheetExist = False
Else
DoesSheetExist = True
End If
End Function
You can then call this function in your code, and only create new sheets when you need to
2 - The loop itself
So instead, I would suggest your loop probably wants to look more like this:
Dim xSheet as Worksheet 'declare this outside the loop
For Each xCell In rng
If DoesSheetExist(xCell.Value) Then
set xSheet = Sheets(xCell.Value) 'this is the code for if the sheet does exist - sets the sheet by the sheet name rather than index
Else
set xSheet = Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
xSheet.Name = xCell.Value
End if
With this setup, for every currency your loop will either set xSheet to the currency sheet that already exists, or create that sheet. This assumes that you want to do the same thing to all currencies, if not then extra conditions will need adding in
3 - the copy/paste line itself
xCell.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = xCell.Value.Range("A" & J + 1)
I don't think this code says what you think it does - what this code actually says is "Copy the Entire Row to the last Sheet's name, and make it equal to the range within xCell's Value at A, (J)+1
I think what you actually wanted to say was this:
xCell.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=Sheets(Sheets.Count).Range("A" & J + 1)
However, if you're using the code I gave you above you can instead use this now:
xCell.EntireRow.Copy Destination:=xSheet.Range("A" & J + 1)
In fact, you'd be better off doing that, especially if there is a chance that the sheets already existed and were picked up by DoesSheetExist
Personally I would also rather transfer values over than use copy/paste any day, but that's just an efficiency thing, the above should function fine.
I'm practising VBA and I need some help / correction for my code.
In this task I'm creating a search tool which looks up each worksheet for the selected value from a combobox. Each result is listed on the first page.
Problems:
In the code I defined the .Find method in to a range rFound. On each worksheet the searched value is at column D. I would like to copy the row from column B to E. I've commented an attempt how did I tried to select that range, with offset but I receive an error. Why and how to fix that?
When I want to paste (list) the results I want it to start from the 1st page 3rd row column K. After running the code it selects the right target but pastes nothing. How to fix this?
I've also made some attempts to copy the document header after each search result, but I commented them out, please ignore lines with getOwner.
Dim ws As Worksheet, OutputWs As Worksheet, wsLists As Worksheet
Dim rFound As Range ', getOwner As Range
Dim strName As String
Dim count As Long, LastRow As Long
Dim IsValueFound As Boolean
'Dim cboSelectName As ComboBox
Dim a As String
IsValueFound = False
Set OutputWs = Worksheets("Teszt") '---->change the sheet name as required
LastRow = OutputWs.Cells(Rows.count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set wsLists = Worksheets("Lists")
a = ComboBox1.Value
On Error Resume Next
strName = a
If strName = "" Then Exit Sub
For Each ws In Worksheets
If ws.Name <> "Output" Then
With ws.UsedRange
Set rFound = .Find(What:=strName, After:=.Cells(1, 1), LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
If Not rFound Is Nothing Then
Application.Goto rFound, True
IsValueFound = True
'MsgBox rFound.Row
rFound.EntireRow.Copy
'Rfound keres - rFound.Range(rFound(Offset(-2,")),rFound.Offset(1,"")).Copy ' ---> This is a suggestion
OutputWs.Cells(LastRow + 2, 11).PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
'getOwner.Range(K2, R2).Copy ' attempt to copy the header for each search result
'getOwner.Cells(LastRow + 1, 6).Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
LastRow = LastRow + 1
End If
End With
End If
Next ws
On Error GoTo 0
If IsValueFound Then
OutputWs.Select
MsgBox "Search Complete!"
Else
MsgBox "Value not found"
End If
You are selection entire row but you are pasting it to the column K. If you copy entire row, you can only copy it to column A. That's why it is not working. So I suggest you to work on Offset part.
In Offset, first part is rows, second part is columns.
you can do something like that,
Dim sth as Range
set sth = .range(.rfound.offset(0,-2),.rfound.offset(0,1)).copy
But I am not sure of it. Not very good at that.
I have a worksheet that has multiple value and what I would like to do is search say column "B" for a value and when it finds it to copy the complete row and paste it somewhere else. I have a similar function to do this but it stops after it finds the first one which is fine for the situation that I am using it in but for this case I need it to copy all that match. below is the code that im using at the moment that only gives me one value
If ExpIDComboBox.ListIndex <> -1 Then
strSelect = ExpIDComboBox.value
lastRow = wks1.range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).row
Set rangeList = wks1.range("A2:A" & lastRow)
On Error Resume Next
row = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(strSelect, wks1.Columns(1), 0) ' searches the worksheet to find a match
On Error GoTo 0
If row Then
Thanks
I would suggest to load data into array first and then operate on this array instead of operating on cells and using Worksheet functions.
'(...)
Dim data As Variant
Dim i As Long
'(...)
If ExpIDComboBox.ListIndex <> -1 Then
strSelect = ExpIDComboBox.Value
lastRow = wks1.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'Load data to array instead of operating on worksheet cells directly - it will improve performance.
data = wks1.Range("A2:A" & lastRow)
'Iterate through all the values loaded in this array ...
For i = LBound(data, 1) To UBound(data, 1)
'... and check if they are equal to string [strSelect].
If data(i, 1) = strSelect Then
'Row i is match, put the code here to copy it to the new destination.
End If
Next i
End If
I have used the Range.Find() method to search each row. For each row of data which it finds, where the value you enter matches the value in column G, it will copy this data to Sheet2. You will need to amend the Sheet variable names.
Option Explicit
Sub copyAll()
Dim rngFound As Range, destSheet As Worksheet, findSheet As Worksheet, wb As Workbook
Dim strSelect As String, firstFind As String
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set findSheet = wb.Sheets("Sheet1")
Set destSheet = wb.Sheets("Sheet2")
strSelect = ExpIDComboBox.Value
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With findSheet
Set rngFound = .Columns(7).Find(strSelect, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not rngFound Is Nothing Then
firstFind = rngFound.Address
Do
.Range(.Cells(rngFound.Row, 1), .Cells(rngFound.Row, _
.Cells(rngFound.Row, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column)).Copy
destSheet.Cells(destSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll
Set rngFound = .Columns(2).Find(strSelect, LookIn:=xlValues, After:=.Range(rngFound.Address))
Loop While firstFind <> rngFound.Address
End If
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I've assumed you will have data between columns A:G?
Otherwise you can just amend the .Copy and .PasteSpecial methods to fit your requirements.
Thanks for your replys. I tired to use both methods but for some reason they did not seem to work. They did not give me an error they just did not produce anything.#mielk I understand what you mean about using an array to do this and it will be a lot faster and more efficent but I dont have enfough VBA knowledge to debug as to why it did not work. I tried other methods and finally got it working and thought it might be usefull in the future for anybody else trying to get this to work. Thanks once again for your answers :)

I need to find the first blank row in a workbook and write information to (row, 1) and (row, 2). I think I'm currently pretty stuck...
Function WriteToMaster(num, path) As Boolean
'Declare variables

MsgBox "Checking cell " & Cell & " for value."
Next
'Save, close, and quit

Thanks so much for any help.
If you mean the row number after the last row that is used, you can find it with this:
Dim unusedRow As Long
unusedRow = Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Offset(1, 0).Row
If you mean a row that happens to be blank with data after it... it gets more complicated.
Here's a function I wrote which will give you the actual row number of the first row that is blank for the provided worksheet.
Function firstBlankRow(ws As Worksheet) As Long
'returns the row # of the row after the last used row
'Or the first row with no data in it
Dim rw As Range
For Each rw In ws.UsedRange.Rows
If rw.Address = ws.Range(rw.Address).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks). _
Address Then
firstBlankRow = rw.Row
Exit For
End If
Next
If firstBlankRow = 0 Then
firstBlankRow = ws.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell). _
Offset(1, 0).Row
End If
End Function
Usage example: firstblankRow(thisworkbook.Sheets(1)) or pass any worksheet.
Edit: As ooo pointed out, this will error if there are no blank cells in your used range.
I would have done it like this. Short and sweet :)
Sub test()
Dim rngToSearch As Range
Dim FirstBlankCell As Range
Dim firstEmptyRow As Long
Set rngToSearch = Sheet1.Range("A:A")
'Check first cell isn't empty
If IsEmpty(rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1)) Then
firstEmptyRow = rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1).Row
Else
Set FirstBlankCell = rngToSearch.FindNext(After:=rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1))
If Not FirstBlankCell Is Nothing Then
firstEmptyRow = FirstBlankCell.Row
Else
'no empty cell in range searched
End If
End If
End Sub
Updated to check if first row is empty.
Edit: Update to include check if entire row is empty
Option Explicit
Sub test()
Dim rngToSearch As Range
Dim firstblankrownumber As Long
Set rngToSearch = Sheet1.Range("A1:C200")
firstblankrownumber = FirstBlankRow(rngToSearch)
Debug.Print firstblankrownumber
End Sub
Function FirstBlankRow(ByVal rngToSearch As Range, Optional activeCell As Range) As Long
Dim FirstBlankCell As Range
If activeCell Is Nothing Then Set activeCell = rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1)
'Check first cell isn't empty
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1).EntireRow) = 0 Then
FirstBlankRow = rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1).Row
Else
Set FirstBlankCell = rngToSearch.FindNext(After:=activeCell)
If Not FirstBlankCell Is Nothing Then
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(FirstBlankCell.EntireRow) = 0 Then
FirstBlankRow = FirstBlankCell.Row
Else
Set activeCell = FirstBlankCell
FirstBlankRow = FirstBlankRow(rngToSearch, activeCell)
End If
Else
'no empty cell in range searched
End If
End If
End Function

Inspired by Daniel's code above and the fact that this is WAY! more interesting to me now then the actual work I have to do, i created a hopefully full-proof function to find the first blank row in a sheet. Improvements welcome! Otherwise, this is going to my library :)
Hopefully others benefit as well.
Function firstBlankRow(ws As Worksheet) As Long
'returns the row # of the row after the last used row
'Or the first row with no data in it
Dim rngSearch As Range, cel As Range
With ws
Set rngSearch = .UsedRange.Columns(1).Find("") '-> does blank exist in the first column of usedRange
If Not rngSearch Is Nothing Then
Set rngSearch = .UsedRange.Columns(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
For Each cel In rngSearch
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(cel.EntireRow) = 0 Then
firstBlankRow = cel.Row
Exit For
End If
Next
Else '-> no blanks in first column of used range
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).EntireRow) = 0 Then '-> is the last row of the sheet blank?
'-> yeap!, then no blank rows!
MsgBox "Whoa! All rows in sheet are used. No blank rows exist!"
Else
'-> okay, blank row exists
firstBlankRow = .UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Row + 1
End If
End If
End With
End Function
Original Answer
To find the first blank in a sheet, replace this part of your code:
Cells(1, 1).Select
For Each Cell In ws.UsedRange.Cells
If Cell.Value = "" Then Cell = Num
MsgBox "Checking cell " & Cell & " for value."
Next
With this code:
With ws
Dim rngBlanks As Range, cel As Range
Set rngBlanks = Intersect(.UsedRange, .Columns(1)).Find("")
If Not rngBlanks Is Nothing Then '-> make sure blank cell exists in first column of usedrange
'-> find all blank rows in column A within the used range
Set rngBlanks = Intersect(.UsedRange, .Columns(1)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
For Each cel In rngBlanks '-> loop through blanks in column A
'-> do a countA on the entire row, if it's 0, there is nothing in the row
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(cel.EntireRow) = 0 Then
num = cel.Row
Exit For
End If
Next
Else
num = usedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Offset(1).Row
End If
End With
I know this is an older thread however I needed to write a function that returned the first blank row WITHIN a range. All of the code I found online actually searches the entire row (even the cells outside of the range) for a blank row. Data in ranges outside the search range was triggering a used row. This seemed to me to be a simple solution:
Function FirstBlankRow(ByVal rngToSearch As Range) As Long
Dim R As Range
Dim C As Range
Dim RowIsBlank As Boolean
For Each R In rngToSearch.Rows
RowIsBlank = True
For Each C In R.Cells
If IsEmpty(C.Value) = False Then RowIsBlank = False
Next C
If RowIsBlank Then
FirstBlankRow = R.Row
Exit For
End If
Next R
End Function
ActiveSheet.Range("A10000").End(xlup).offset(1,0).Select
very old thread but .. i was lookin for an "easier"... a smaller code
i honestly dont understand any of the answers above :D
- i´m a noob
but this should do the job. (for smaller sheets)
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcel.Workbooks.Add
reads every cell in col 1 from bottom up and stops at first empty cell
intRow = 1
Do until objExcel.Cells(intRow, 1).Value = ""
intRow = intRow + 1
Loop
then you can write your info like this
objExcel.Cells(intRow, 1).Value = "first emtpy row, col 1"
objExcel.Cells(intRow, 2).Value = "first emtpy row, col 2"
etc...
and then i recognize its an vba thread ... lol
Very old thread but a simpler take :)
Sub firstBlank(c) 'as letter
MsgBox (c & Split(Range(c & ":" & c).Find("", LookIn:=xlValues).address, "$")(2))
End Sub
Sub firstBlank(c) 'as number
cLet = Split(Cells(1, c).address, "$")(1)
MsgBox (cLet & Split(Range(cLet & ":" & cLet).Find("", LookIn:=xlValues).address, "$")(2))
End Sub
Function firstBlankRow() As Long
Dim emptyCells As Boolean
For Each rowinC In Sheet7.Range("A" & currentEmptyRow & ":A5000") ' (row,col)
If rowinC.Value = "" Then
currentEmptyRow = rowinC.row
'firstBlankRow = rowinC.row 'define class variable to simplify computing complexity for other functions i.e. no need to call function again
Exit Function
End If
Next
End Function
