I have a Macro that takes data out of 2 reports.
in the second report I have dates that I copy. I need to take a date and subtract from it 14 days
I go to first blank cell in column D, then I want to calculate the formula in column C and scroll down without type how many cells (because it is a macro to a daily basis and the amount of data will change). I want to do this until the end of the data I copied.
In the end I want to copy it as values to column B.
Here is what I have in my code(part of all macro):
'first we go to the buttom of the column
'for NOW - change manually the top of the range you paste to
'Now, paste to OP_wb workbook:
OP_wb.Sheets("Optic Main").Range("D1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial
Paste:=xlPasteValues
' Calculate Due Date to MFG tools
' it means date we copied from MFG daily minus 14 days
_wb.Sheets("Optic Main").Activate
Range("C1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Activate
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1]-14"enter code here
You need to loop from the first row to the last row. In general, there are plenty of good ways to define the last row of a given column. Once you have done it, replace the value of lngEndRow and run the following code:
Option Explicit
Public Sub TestMe()
Dim lngStartRow As Long: lngStartRow = 1
Dim lngEndRow As Long: lngEndRow = 100
Dim rngMyRange As Range
Dim rngMyCell As Range
With ActiveSheet
Set rngMyRange = .Range(.Cells(lngStartRow, 5), .Cells(lngEndRow, 5))
End With
For Each rngMyCell In rngMyRange
rngMyCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1]-14"
Next rngMyCell
End Sub
Then change the ActiveSheet with the correct sheet and the column hardcoded as 5 with the correct one. Run the code above in an empty Excel, to understand what it does. Then change it a bit, until it matches your needs.

Dim Turbidity As Long
Dim RawTurbidity As Range
'Sets variables Turbidity being the ActiveCell and RawTurbidity referring to the last captured cell in raw sheets'
Turbidity = ActiveCell.Row
Set RawTurbidity = Sheets("Raw Data").Range("C4").End(xlDown)
'The formula assigning the last captured cell in Raw sheets to the active cell '
Sheet1.Range(Sheet1.Cells(Turbidity, 4), Sheet1.Cells(Turbidity, 4)).Formula = RawTurbidity
End Sub
So this is the code I have and currently it does what it's suppose to do. We have two sheets atm sheet1 and Raw Data An instrument spits out data into column C of Raw data starting wtih C4 and going all the way down. The current code I wrote in essence paste the newest value the instrument spits out to the active cell in sheet1. I have a code on Raw Data that runs the macro only when a change is made to column C4 and lower. And it works exactly how I want it to however...
my question or issue is that when I add activecell.offset(1,0).select in order to have the activecell automatically go to the next row in sheet1 without me moving the mouse the macro copies and paste the same data into the next 4 cells. If I have the intrument spit out the data again than this time it occupies the next 6 rows with the same data.
Joe B, I think you are making this harder than it is.
Last value in a sheet column gets copied to the next open row in a specified column on another sheet? Is that right?
Option Explicit
Sub Link()
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim wsRaw As Worksheet
Dim ws1LastRow As Long ' "Turbidity"
Dim wsRawLastRow As Long ' "RawTurbidity"
' I suggest you just name the sheets using the developer prop window
'It cuts this whole part out as you can call them directly
Set ws1 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set wsRaw = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Raw Data")
ws1LastRow = ws1.Cells(ws1.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row 'lets say you are pasting to column A
'ws1LastRow = ws1LastRow + 1
'There you go the next writable cell row, this is wasted code though, see below you just increment when you need it
wsRawLastRow = wsRaw.Cells(wsRaw.Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row 'This method doesn't care if your data starts in C4
'No formula needed, it is a straight "copy" here, actually faster as its an assignment
ws1.Cells(ws1LastRow + 1, "A").Value = wsRaw.Cells(wsRawLastRow, "C").Value
'the next open cell (defined by row) in your sheet 1 column is equal to the last row of your Raw Data sheet column
End Sub
Issue is that the data in sheet one is not inputted in order. A person may need the data calculated to row 10 and the next calculation needs to be in row 20 hence the need to copy the data into the active cell.
This was my bad for not stating that in the initial post as it's the primary reason for this strange formula.
I have a worksheet that uses randomly generated numbers in calculations to produce results in two adjacent cells (let's say A1 and A2). I am trying to perform 100 iterations where I'm simply "Calculating Formulas" on the worksheet and then trying to store the results of each iteration next to A1 and A2 (so iteration 1 would be in B1 and B2 and iteration 100 would be in CW1 and CW2). Thanks in advance for your help. Using Excel 2010 if that matters.
Dim Iteration As Integer, i As Integer
Dim val As Variant
Iteration = 100
For i = 1 To Iteration
Calculate
Range("A1:A2").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(x1Up).Offset(0, 1).PasteSpecial
Paste:=xlPasteValues
Next i
End Sub
I think your major problem was with the location you were selecting for the destination address - you were finding the last unused cell in column B, then shifting over one column (i.e. to column C) and pasting the first set of results. Then you were using that same location for the second set of results, etc.
Sub Test()
Dim Iteration As Integer, i As Integer
Dim val As Variant
Iteration = 100
'Use a "With" block so that it can be easily changed in the future
'to refer to a specific sheet if needed
With ActiveSheet
For i = 1 To Iteration
Calculate
'Determine the last used column on row 1,
' offset 1 column to the right,
' resize to refer to 2 rows,
' set values to the values in A1:A2
.Cells(1, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, 1).Resize(2, 1).Value = .Range("A1:A2").Value
Next i
End With
End Sub
As pointed out by Steve Lovell, you also had a typo in your original code. It is a good habit to include Option Explicit as the first line in every code module. That will force you to declare all the variables that you use, and the compiler would have highlighted x1Up and given a "Variable not defined" error.
I have a workbook with "Results" being sheet 3, this being the worksheet I want to use.
I have tried a few formulaes to try and add a macro to do the following:
I have column G with percentages. I then have column I where I would like there to be a result saying TRUE/FALSE where the contents of G are equal to 100%. Column G is formatted to percentage with two decimals.
Some considerations: I have my first row being a Hyperlink to another sheet, then my headings, then the first row of "results". I have 457 rows, if there is a measurement of the range, perhaps it could be on A?
I keep getting this error 9 with my range and have got a bit stuck.
Thanks in advance!
Sub PartialHits1()
Dim rng As Range
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim cell As Range
With Sheet3
lastRow = .Range("G" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = .Range("G1:G" & lastRow)
For Each cell In rng
If cell.Value = 100
Then
cell.Range("I1:I1").Value = 100
End If
Next
End With
End Sub
(I have hacked this a bit, just was trying to get it to set as 100 instead of the TRUE/FALSE Also was playing around near the Sheet 3 part as I got errors.)
RangeVariable.Range can refer only to a cell within RangeVariable, so you can't refer to column I in this way. Try: .Range("I"&cell.row)=100.
Also your criteria is probably wrong, if you have 100% in a cell it's actual value is 1.
And last question: why do you want to do this with VBA, it would be much more simple with worksheet function =IF(G3=1,100,"")
I'm completely new to VBA and Excel macros in general so I'll try to explain my predicament as clearly as possible. Basically I've got two workbooks, the source workbook which contains a single worksheet with nearly thousands of rows and columns and another workbook with 90+ worksheets, each with two tables that references cells from the source workbook (the tables cover monthly data for the last four fiscal years).
I've shoe-stringed together an automation macro that mostly works, but my primary concern is that it could be done better, specifically I've got one section of code:
'October
cellVarO = ActiveSheet.Range("B8").Formula
cellVarO = Right(cellVarO, 5)
Range("B8").Select
ActiveCell.Formula = "=OFFSET('C:\external\[reference_sheet.xls]Mnthly Rdgs'!" & cellVarO & ",0," & fyNum * 12 & ")"
One thing to note is that this code repeats 24 times, one for each month, and another iteration to use MID so that I'm still selecting the right cell value from the active cell formula (after changing the original formula to include OFFSET). I find this bulky and unnecessary but it's the only way I can wrap my mind around the problem. Another issue, it considers that the cell reference will always be 5 characters long. There are instances where this is not the case.
But basically my months are laid out by column and my years are laid out by row, what I was aiming to do here was look in the cell formula for the cell reference, select the cell value, then use OFFSET to shift the value 12 columns to the most recent one, and print the new value to the most recent year. Suppose if I have the cell formula:
='C:\external\[reference_sheet.xls]Mnthly Rdgs'!QR938
My goal is to take the cell value here (QR938) and shift it right 12 columns. Is there any way to pick out the cell value (other than using MID/RIGHT) and assign it to a variable to offset? Is there a better way to shift the cell value 12 columns other than using OFFSET? Finally, is there any way to perform that same operation across multiple similarly formatted worksheets?
See if this helps
For testing the main code:
Sub Tester()
'offset 12 cols to right
OffsetFormulaReference ActiveSheet.Range("B8"), 0, 12
'offset 12 cols to left
OffsetFormulaReference ActiveSheet.Range("B9"), 0, -12
'offset 12 rows down
OffsetFormulaReference ActiveSheet.Range("B10"), 12, 0
'offset 12 rows up
OffsetFormulaReference ActiveSheet.Range("B11"), -12, 0
'EDIT: loop over sheets and edit a specific range
Dim c As Range, sht as WorkSheet
For Each sht in ThisWorkbook.Sheets
For each c in sht.Range("B8:B20").Cells
OffsetFormulaReference c, 12, 0
Next c
Next sht
End Sub
Utility method for taking the formula from a cell with an external reference and moving it over by the specified number of rows/columns:
Sub OffsetFormulaReference(c As Range, offsetRows, offsetCols)
Dim origForm As String, origAddr As String
Dim arr, rng As Range, newAddr As String
If c.HasFormula Then
origForm = c.Formula
'(e.g.) ='C:\external\[reference_sheet.xls]Mnthly Rdgs'!QR938
If InStr(origForm, "!") > 0 Then
arr = Split(origForm, "!") 'arr(1) = "QR938"
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range(arr(1)) 'get a range reference
Set rng = rng.Offset(offsetRows, offsetCols) 'move the reference
newAddr = rng.Address(False, False) 'get the offset address
'replace old formula with new offset reference
c.Formula = arr(0) & "!" & newAddr
End If
End If
End Sub
Note: you'll get an error if you try to use Offset() to move the rng reference beyond the limits of the sheet (eg. row or column < 1). You can add logic to handle that if it might be an issue.
I'm trying to automate a report that for a customer and I'm a bit stuck with one of the hurdles that needs to overcome, I have some ideas but am new to VB programming.
The requirement is to copy a range of cells from one sheet to another, but the destination needs to change depending on the current date. Using a general example I'm trying to achieve the following:
If the date is the 1st of the month, the destination range is B2:F3, if it is the 2nd then the destination range is B4:F5, if the 3rd then destination is B6:F7....... if the 31st then the destination is B62:F63, the source ranges are static.
I figured I could probably achieve this by writing a huge script which contained an IF statement for each day of the month, but I was hoping I could be a bit smarter and use variables to assign the row references at the beginning of the script then just sub them back into the select/copy statements.
Absolutely you can.
Dim x as Integer
Dim daymonth as Integer
Dim rw as String
daymonth = CInt(Format(date, "d"))
x = daymonth * 2
rw = CStr(x)
Now you can use range like:
Range("D" & rw & ":F" & CStr(x + 1))
Just an example. Then since the number is constant between the two ranges just add that number to x and use it in the range.
You may want following subroutine.
Sub copyDataDependOnDatte()
Dim today As Date, dayOfToday As Integer
Dim sWS As Worksheet, dWS As Worksheet
'set two worksheets to variables
Set sWS = Worksheets("source") 'Worksheet which has data to be copied
Set dWS = Worksheets("destination") 'Worksheet which is used to record data of days.
' get day of today
today = Now() 'get date of today
dayOfToday = Day(today) ' get day of today
Range(sWS.Cells(2, 2), sWS.Cells(3, 6)).Copy 'copy B2:F3 of worksheet "source"
dWS.Cells(dayOfToday * 2, 2).PasteSpecial ' paste to worksheet "destination" at place determined by day of today
End Sub
In this code,I assumed following for writing concreat code.
"source" is name of worksheet which contains the data to be copied
"destination" is name of worksheet which records tha data copied from "source" worksheet
Data to be copied is exist at "B2:F3" of worksheet "source"
Please change worksheets' names to real names of your data.
Place of data to be copied is described as "Range(sWS.Cells(2, 2), sWS.Cells(3, 6))" in the code.
cells(2,2) means cell on 2nd row and 2nd column, i.e. "B2".
Cells(3,6) means cell on 3rd row and 6th column, i.e. "F3".
Plese correct place to fit your data.
