I am trying to delete columns in the data I have based on the header values, using VBA. I am definitely a novice at this, so would appreciate any help. At the moment I have managed to find some code that can do this, except every time I run the macro it deletes some of the columns, but appears to skip some of the columns. I think because when a column is deleted the column then moves to a new location, ie F5 gets deleted so G5 moves to F5 and then manages to escape the query. This is the code
Sub DeleteSpecifcColumn()
Set MR = Range("A1:D1")
For Each cell In MR
If cell.Value = "old" Then cell.EntireColumn.Delete
Next
End Sub
This is a classical problem ,If you want to delete rows or columns always begin deleting from the end .
Sub DeleteSpecifcColumn()
For i = 4 To 1 Step -1
If Cells(1, i) = "old" Then
Cells(1, i).EntireColumn.Delete
End If
Next i
End Sub

I found a code online which works but I am failing to change it for my purpose. Each entry in my spreadsheet contains different formulas as well as an Iferror function with the aim of making cells with error messages appear as blank. For example lets say a cell E3 is dependent on cell F3 with a certain formula (for clarification lets say F3/2.5). It is obvious if there is no entry in cell F3 then an error message would display in cell E3. For this reason, I use the IFERROR function to display the cell as blank. The difficulty arises when I want to delete blank rows after a click on the macro button. However, since that cell does have an entry (a formula which in turn returns an error message), that cell does not delete. Also I need to run this code over 3 different selection ranges. Please can someone help! The code I found was from a different thread on this forum and is:
`sub foo()
dim r As Range, rows As Long, i As Long
Set r = ActiveSheet.Range("A1:Z50")
rows = r.rows.Count
For i = rows To 1 Step (-1)
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(r.rows(i)) = 0 Then r.rows(i).Delete
Next
End Sub`
Thanks Alot!
EDIT: If statement added to the autofilter as it was deleting a row when there were no blanks
You will want to set up a column in the spreadsheet with the following sumproduct:
=SUMPRODUCT((LEN(A1:F1)>0)*1)
This is calculating how many cells' values have a length more than 0 hence are not blank, you will need to adjust cell references accordingly as I tested on a small sample of fake data.
Following this you can just loop:
For i = rows To 1 Step (-1)
If Cells(i,"G") = 0 Then r.rows(i).Delete 'My formula is in column "G"
Next
Or set up an auto-filter and delete entire rows of the visible cells:
Dim lrow As Integer
If Not WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("G:G"), "0") = 0 Then
Range("A1:G1").AutoFilter
Range("A1:G1").AutoFilter Field:=7, Criteria1:="0"
lrow = Cells(rows.Count, 7).End(xlUp).Row + 1
Range("G2:G" & lrow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Delete
Range("A1:G1").AutoFilter
End If
The only problem with using a leading column to calculate for this is if you have a lot of data coming and going as you will need to replenish the formula, though you could use auto complete in the code i guess.
I have been working on a code to copy the data from one specific range(always the same) and paste in another spreadsheet always in the row below. So basically, it starts pasting on row 11, but if I run again it will paste on the row 12 and there it goes.. The code has been working fine, but there is only one problem. It identifies the next empty row(to paste) based on the value of the column AP, but i want it to identify based on the values of all the columns between AP:BA. Thus, if there is any value on those cells, it should copy on the row below, not only if there is a value on AP. Does someone know how to change my code in order to solve this problem? Thank You very much
Sub Copy_Shanghai()
Dim count As Integer
count = 11
Do While Worksheets("Time Evolution").Range("AP" & count).Value <> ""
'<>"" means "is not empty", as long as this happens we go down looking for empty cell
count = count + 1
Loop
'Now count is row with first empty cell outside of top 10 rows in column C
Worksheets("Fill").Range("E5:P5").Copy
Worksheets("Time Evolution").Range("AP" & count).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End Sub
How can I delete the whole row of an Excel sheet, if in the column G has a number that starts with 210.
I don't want to delete the row if the cell has 210 somewhere inside, but only when start with it.
Use this code:
Sub RemoveRows()
Dim i As Long
i = 1
Do While i <= ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("G1").CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
If Left(ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("G" & i).Formula, 3) = "210" Then
ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 1).EntireRow.Delete
Else
i = i + 1
End If
Loop
End Sub
Sample file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yp2cwphhhdn3l98/RemoweRows210.xlsm
To see it and run, press ALT-F11, open Module1 and press F5. Good luck!
In case you want to do it without code but purely in the UI, this is how you could do this pretty efficiently:
Insert a temporary column (e.g. right of column G) (Ctrl-Space in any cell in column H, Ctrl-+)
Fill the column with the formula =LEFT(TEXT(G1),3)="210" - this will return TRUE for all rows you look for
Apply an AutoFilter to either that new column or the full range (Ctrl-Shift-L)
Filter that column for TRUE - this way, only the rows you wish to delete remain
Select all rows and delete (Ctrl-A in any cell in the table, Shift-Space, Ctrl--)
Delete the temporary column (Ctrl-Space in any cell in column H, Ctrl--)
Done!
I have a fairly simple syntax question:
I'm trying to copy and paste n rows from one excel file to another. In addition, I'd like to store the total copied rows into a variable.
Can someone help me accomplish this?
For example:
1)
Activate CSV file
Apply Filter to Column B (Page Title) & uncheck "blanks" ("<>") filter**
Windows("Test_Origin.xlsm").Activate
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$J$206").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:="<>"
2)
Copy Filtered Lines with data (Excluding Row 1)
Range("B2:F189").Select
Selection.Copy
copiedRowTotal = total *FILTERED* rows copied over from original sheet, then Test Number iterates that many times
copiedRowTotal = Selection.Rows.Count
MsgBox copiedRowTotal
Thanks
An indirect way to do this is
Range("B2:F189").Copy
Range("M2").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
copiedRowTotal = Selection.Rows.Count
Selection.Clear
The code copies the range & does a paste special operation on a separate location.
By doing this, only filtered rows are copied to M2 & the area (where the filtered rows are pasted) is highlighted when PasteSpecial operation is done.
Doing a Selection.Rows.Count gives one, the number of filtered rows that were pasted.
After figuring out the number of filtered rows, the selection is cleared up.
I don't believe there is a way to get the visible cell count directly. I tried using the 'SpecialCells(xlSpecialCellsVisible)' function, but could not get the correct count with a filter applied. Here is a quick function I wrote that works with a filter applied.
Also be aware that sometimes a filter can mess with the selected range at times, so it's something to note.
Public Sub TestIt()
Dim visibleCount As Long
visibleCount = GetVisibleCount(Sheets(1).Range("A2:H3000"))
MsgBox visibleCount
End Sub
Public Function GetVisibleCount(rng As Range) As Long
Dim loopRow As Range
GetVisibleCount = 0
For Each loopRow In rng.Rows
If loopRow.Hidden = False Then
GetVisibleCount = GetVisibleCount + 1
End If
Next loopRow
End Function
copiedrowtotal = selection.rows.count ' its not selection.totalcells
I think this would do the trick
After seeing your update let me tell you probably these would work
dim i as long
i = Application.WorksheetFunction.Subtotal(2,worksheets("Sheet").Range("B2:F189"))
Now i has the number of filtered rows in it! If you have included header in your range then do -1 at the end else just leave it up
argument 2 in subtotal is => counting the rows and then sheet name
and then specify range to count filtered rows
instead I would select only one column if you applied filter for many columns!
Hope it helps dont forget to accept an answer ! :
I have a little problem, I occasionally bump into this kind of problem, but I haven’t found a fast solution so far.
So, imagine we have an Excel worksheet and let's suppose that we have a couple of numbers in column ’A’ with some empty cells in it. Altogether (just to make it simple) we have the first 10 cells in column 'A' to observe. For example:
3
(empty cell)
(empty cell)
6
(empty cell)
4
(empty cell)
23
(empty cell)
2
Now in the next step I would like to collect these numbers into another column (for example, column ’B’) using VBA. Obviously I just want to collect those cells which contain a number and I want to ignore the empty cells. So I would like to get a column something like this:
3
6
4
23
2
I have already written the following code, but I’m stuck at this point.
Sub collect()
For i = 1 To 10
if cells(i,1)<>"" then...
Next i
End Sub
Is there an easy way to solve this problem?
Probably the quickest and easiest way is to use Excel's Advanced Filter - the only amendment you'll need to make is it add a field name and criteria. You can even list unique items only:
The VBA equivalent is
Sub test()
With Sheet1
.Range("B1:B8").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=.Range( _
"D1:D2"), CopyToRange:=.Range("F1"), Unique:=False
End With
End Sub
You should be able to use the method in the post int the comments, but you could also use SpecialCells like Range("A:A").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants,xlNumbers).Copy to get all of the filled cells.
Edit: needed constants not formulas.
This will work for any number of rows that you select. It will always output in the next column at the start of your selection e.g. if data starts in B10 it will ooutput in C10
Sub RemoveBlanks()
Dim cl As Range, cnt As Long
cnt = 0
For Each cl In Selection
If Not cl = vbNullString Then
Cells(Selection.Cells(1, 1).Row, Selection.Cells(1, 1).Column).Offset(cnt, 1) = cl
cnt = cnt + 1
End If
Next cl
End Sub
If you wish to loop manually and don't mind specifying the maximum row limit;
Dim i As long, values As long
For i = 1 To 10
If cells(i, 1).Value <> "" Then
values = (values + 1)
' // Adjacent column target
cells(values, 2).value = cells(i, 1).value
End If
Next i
