VBA Writing IFERROR to Multiple Cells with For...Next Loop - vba

I am trying to apply "=IFERROR" to a spreadsheet containing over 1000 rows of data. I already came up with a way to make the entries hard-coded. But is there a way to fill the cells with something like "=IFERROR(IFERROR(A1,B1),"")" rather than the value? Below is the hard-coded version:
Sub HardCodeIFERROR()
Dim a As Integer, xRecordCount1 As Integer
Set w(1) = Sheets("ABC")
xRecordCount1 = w(1).Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For a = 1 To xRecordCount1
w(1).Cells(a, 3).Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.IfError(Application.WorksheetFunction.IfError(Range("A" & a), Range("B" & a)), "")
Next a
Exit Sub
End Sub
Thank you in advance for your help!

You can instead just use .Formula:
w(1).Cells(a, 3).Formula = "=IFERROR(IFERROR(A" & a & ",B" & a & "),"""")"
Note you can skip the loop and just use a range:
Sub HardCodeIFERROR()
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim a As Integer, xRecordCount1 As Integer
Set ws1 = Sheets("Sheet1")
xRecordCount1 = ws1.Cells(ws1.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
With ws1
.Range(.Cells(1, 3), .Cells(xRecordCount1, 3)).FormulaR1C1 = "=IFERROR(IFERROR(RC[-2],RC[-1]),"""")"
End With
End Sub
Note: Make sure to use the sheet with the Rows.Count whenever you use it, just like you do with Cells() and Range(). Also, I changed the sheet name because I wasn't sure if you intended to do a Sheet Array or not, so I used a more clear (IMO) variable name.

Just use the Formula property:
Sub HardCodeIFERROR()
Dim a As Integer, xRecordCount1 As Integer
'Need to declare the size of the array if you are going to assign worksheets to "w(1)"
Dim w(1 To 1) As Worksheet
Set w(1) = Sheets("ABC")
'Ensure you fully qualify "Rows.Count" by specifying which worksheet you are referring to
xRecordCount1 = w(1).Cells(w(1).Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
'Apply formula to all cells
w(1).Range("C1:C" & xRecordCount1).Formula = "=IFERROR(IFERROR(S1,V1),"""")"
End Sub

Assigning values to array vba

I don't have experience using arrays in VBA and I got lost. What I try to do is the following:
In the column A I have ~15 strings (number is not fixed sometimes it is more sometimes less)
I remove duplicates and then for each name in the column A I would like to create separate sheet in the file.
I created an array to which I tried to assign each name from A with this loop:
Sub assigningvalues()
Dim i As Integer
Dim myArray(20) As Variant
Dim finalrow As Long
ActiveSheet.Range("A1", Range("A1").End(xlDown)).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1)
finalrow = ActiveSheet.Cells(ActiveSheet.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlDown).Row
'For i = 2 To finalrow -> I get overflow error when I use this range
For i = 2 To Cells(20, 1)
myArray(i) = Cells(i, 1).Value
Next i
'I check with the lines below if values were assigned
Cells(2, 4).Value = myArray(4)
Cells(3, 4).Value = myArray(2)
End Sub
Nevertheless values from the cells to do not assign to the array
Moreover when I try to use finalrow as range for the loop I get overflow error (It is not a big problem as there are workarounds, although it would be nice to know what I've done wrong)
Try the code below:
Option Explicit
Sub assigningvalues()
Dim i As Long
Dim myArray(20) As Variant
Dim FinalRow As Long
Dim Sht As Worksheet
Set Sht = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1") ' modify "Sheet1" to your sheet's name
With Sht
.Range("A1", .Range("A1").End(xlDown)).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1)
FinalRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row ' get last row in column "A"
For i = 2 To FinalRow
myArray(i) = Cells(i, 1).Value
Next i
'I check with the lines below if values were assigned
.Cells(2, 4).Value = myArray(4)
.Cells(3, 4).Value = myArray(2)
End With
End Sub
Note: you can read the contents of the Range to a 1-D Array without a For loop, using Application.Transpose, you need to change the line you define it to:
Dim myArray As Variant
and populate the entire array using:
myArray = Application.Transpose(.Range("A2:A" & FinalRow))
Try the code below:
Sub assigningvalues()
Dim myArray As Variant
ActiveSheet.Range("A1", Range("A1").End(xlDown)).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1)
myArray = ActiveSheet.Range("A1", Range("A1").End(xlDown))
For Each element In myArray
ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add(After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count)).Name = element
Next element
End Sub
NOTES: The problem with your above code was, that
ActiveSheet.Cells(ActiveSheet.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlDown).Row
returned the absolut number of rows in the sheet, not the used ones. Since your array has length 20 and the sheet about 1 Mio. rows, you have an overflow. you can check this by using
Debug.Print ActiveSheet.Cells(ActiveSheet.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlDown).Row
In the above code, after you remove dublicates, you again go down from A1 to the end and save the range to an array. The array myArray now contains all the cell values in your reduced range.
Now you loop over the elements with
For Each element in myArray
and create a new sheet with Workbook.Sheets.Add and assign the name my setting Sheets(index).name = element
The above code should work for you. Few remarks:
Instead of using "ActiveSheet", ThisWorkbook, etc. You should always start a Sub with this:
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = ThisWorkbook 'for the workbook containing the code
Set wb = Workbooks(workbookName) 'to reference an other Workbook
'And for all the sheets you are using
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = wb.Sheets(sheetName) 'this way you avoid problems with multiple
workbooks that are open and active or
unactive sheets.

If cell = value then copy and paste cell below with addition

I have a spreadsheet with values starting at A5 and running across to column AI, there could be any number of entries to the rows.
Row A contains an Item code (e.g. 000-0000)
I am looking to produce some code to complete the following two actions:
If column AI = yes, then copy entire row and paste below. With every copy add a sequential alphabetised letter to the code in column A (e.g. 000-0000a)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Everything i've found expands to copying to another sheet and i'm struggling to break down the code.
Thanks
Edit:
Please see below current code I have been trying to get to work which works up to the point of copying the row however fails to paste it.
Sub NewItems(c As Range)
Dim objWorksheet As Worksheet
Dim rngNewItems As Range
Dim rngCell As Range
Dim strPasteToSheet As String
'Used for the new worksheet we are pasting into
Dim objNewSheet As Worksheet
Dim rngNextAvailbleRow As Range
'Define the worksheet with our data
Set objWorksheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
'Dynamically define the range to the last cell.
'This doesn't include and error handling e.g. null cells
'If we are not starting in A1, then change as appropriate
Set rngNewItems = objWorksheet.Range("A5:A" & objWorksheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
'Now loop through all the cells in the range
For Each rngCell In rngNewItems.Cells
objWorksheet.Select
If rngCell.Value <> "Yes" Then
'select the entire row
rngCell.EntireRow.Select
'copy the selection
Selection.Copy
'Now identify and select the new sheet to paste into
Set objNewSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1" & rngCell.Value)
objNewSheet.Select
'Looking at your initial question, I believe you are trying to find the next available row
Set rngNextAvailbleRow = objNewSheet.Range("A1:A" & objNewSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
Range("A" & rngNextAvailbleRow.Rows.Count + 1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
Next rngCell
objWorksheet.Select
objWorksheet.Cells(1, 1).Select
'Can do some basic error handing here
'kill all objects
If IsObject(objWorksheet) Then Set objWorksheet = Nothing
If IsObject(rngBurnDown) Then Set rngNewItems = Nothing
If IsObject(rngCell) Then Set rngCell = Nothing
If IsObject(objNewSheet) Then Set objNewSheet = Nothing
If IsObject(rngNextAvailbleRow) Then Set rngNextAvailbleRow = Nothing
End Sub
So there are lots of things to address with your code. Many of which I have touched on. But the main thing to observe is that you are testing Column A not Column AI for the presence of "Yes" - so there may not be a match hence no copy.
As the paste destination is determined by a concatenation to create a sheet name you should have a test to ensure that sheet exists.
For testing I simply ensured a sheet called Sheet1a existed, that Sheet1 cell A5 had "a" in it, and there was a "Yes" in column AI. This could be improved but is enough to get you going.
This line is looping column A:
Set rngNewItems = objWorksheet.Range("A5:A" & lastRow)
Whereas this line is testing column AI:
If rngCell.Offset(, 35).Value <> "Yes"
Note <> means Not Equal as opposed to =
So perhaps you wanted:
If rngCell.Offset(, 35).Value = "Yes"
Consider the following re-write.
Option Explicit
Public Sub NewItems() 'c As Range) 'I have commented out parameter which isn't currently used.
Dim rngBurnDown As Range ' not used but also not declared
Dim objWorksheet As Worksheet
Dim rngNewItems As Range
Dim rngCell As Range
Dim strPasteToSheet As String
Dim objNewSheet As Worksheet
Dim lastRowTargetSheet As Long
Set objWorksheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = objWorksheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set rngNewItems = objWorksheet.Range("A5:A" & lastRow)
Dim copiedRange As Range 'for union
For Each rngCell In rngNewItems.Cells
'Debug.Print rngCell.Address 'shows where looping
If rngCell.Offset(, 35).Value = "Yes" Then
Set objNewSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1" & rngCell.Value)
Dim nextTargetCell As Range
lastRowTargetSheet = objNewSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set nextTargetCell = objNewSheet.Range("A" & lastRowTargetSheet)
rngCell.EntireRow.Copy nextTargetCell
Set objNewSheet = Nothing 'clear inside loop as you are setting in loop
lastRowTargetSheet = 0
Set nextTargetCell = Nothing
End If
Next rngCell
objWorksheet.Cells(1, 1).Select
End Sub
As for your lettering:
There are lots of examples online to generate these. Here is one way, by #harfang, from here:
Sub List_A_to_ZZZZ()
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To 20 ' I have shortened this QHarr. Original end was 475254 ' ColXL("ZZZZ")
Debug.Print Right("---" & XLcL(i), 4)
Next i
End Sub
Function XLcL(ByVal N As Long) As String
Do While N > 0
XLcL = Chr(vbKeyA + (N - 1) Mod 26) & XLcL
N = (N - 1) \ 26
Loop
End Function
Function ColXL(ByVal abc As String) As Long
abc = Trim(Replace(UCase(abc), "-", ""))
Do While Len(abc)
ColXL = ColXL * 26 + (Asc(abc) - vbKeyA + 1)
abc = Mid(abc, 2)
Loop
End Function

excel: index and match with vba

I have this formula on the first column in my sheet:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Plan2!$A$1:$K$20;MATCH(Plan3!B2;Plan2!$B$1:$B$20;0);MATCH(Plan3!$A$1;Plan2!$A$1:$K$1;0));"")
And it fits perfectly for what I want: look up on Plan2 (my databse) for the information on column B of Plan3 by matching the result by matching the header of table.
What I want know is to translate this to a VBA that do the same thing. This is what I've tried so far:
Sub AlocSubs()
Dim i As Long
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim ws2 As Worksheet
Set ws1 = Sheets("Plan2")
Set ws2 = Sheets("Plan3")
For i = 2 To 20
ws2.Cells(i, 1).Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(ws1.Range("A1:K20"), .match(ws2.Range("B2"), ws1.Range("B1:B20"), 0), .match(ws2.Range("A1"), ws1.Range("A1:K1"), 0))
Next i
End Sub
When I try to run I get the message:
Compilation error: Reference is not valid.
And I get this line highlighted:
Sub AlocSubs()
This is the first time that I try to translate a formula do a code in VBA so I really don't know what is going wrong.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Try this:
Sub AlocSubs()
Dim i As Long
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim ws2 As Worksheet
Dim strFormula As String
Set ws1 = Sheets("Plan2")
Set ws2 = Sheets("Plan3")
strFormula = "=IFERROR(INDEX(Plan2!$A$1:$K$20;MATCH(Plan3!B2;Plan2!$B$1:$B$20;0);MATCH(Plan3!$A$1;Plan2!$A$1:$K$1;0));"""")"
With ws2
With .Range(.Cells(2, 1), .Cells(20, 1))
.Formula = strFormula
.Value = .Value
End With
End With
End Sub
Note: I've not tested your formula. Code shows how the formula result can be displayed using VBA.
You used .match, but you don't have With statement before. You also don't use i in your formula. I guess it should be like this:
With Application.WorksheetFunction
For i = 2 To 20
ws2.Cells(i, 1).Value = .Index(ws1.Range("A1:K20"), .Match(ws2.Range("B" & i), ws1.Range("B1:B20"), 0), .Match(ws2.Range("A1"), ws1.Range("A1:K1"), 0))
Next i
End With

Row Number reference with VBA

I have searched a bit for a VBA code that will list me a row reference and am not finding results. Perhaps I am missing what the actual term for it is?
I have a list of names in Column A, starting at A2. Then what I would like is a listing of 1,2,3,4,5 going down Column B, starting from B2, until the names stop.
I can do this as a formula but need to have the values set there by a macro in this case.
Can this be done?
If I understand you correctly then this should work:
Sub test()
Dim lastRow As Long, counter As Long
Dim cell As Range
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("NAME_OF_YOUR_WORKSHEET")
lastRow = ws.Range("A" & ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
counter = 1
For Each cell In ws.Range("B2:B" & lastRow)
cell.Value = counter
counter = counter + 1
Next cell
End Sub
No need for a loop:
Sub NumberRows()
With Sheets("Sheet Name Here")
With .Range("B2:B" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row)
.Formula = "=ROW()-1"
.Value = .Value
End With
End With
End Sub

Dynamically set Ranges to the columns in VBA

I am importing some date to worksheet which needs to be ranged for validation and reference in other worksheets.
Say I have 4 columns in worksheet(WS1) but the row count is dynamic on every import. How can i range the columns(A:D)?
Please help.
Regards,
Mani
Use a lastRow variable to determine the last row. I included a few examples of this. Also on this example is a lastCol variable.. You can use this if the number of Columns is dynamic as well.
Private Sub lastRow()
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim lastCol As Long
Dim sheet As String
sheet = "WS1"
lastRow = Sheets(sheet).Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).row 'Using Range()
lastRow = Sheets(sheet).Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).row 'Using Cells()
lastCol = Sheets(sheet).Cells(2, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
End Sub
You can loop through your sheet easily enough using variables also. Using Cells(row,col) instead of Range(A1). you can use numbers or a letter in quotes for the column as shown in the example.
This example looks at WS1 and matches someValue. If the value in Column A of WS1 = somevalue, the record is copied to a "Master" Sheet.
Sub LoopExample()
Dim mRow As Long 'used for a master row
For lRow = 2 To lastRow
If Sheets(sheet).Cells(lRow, 1) = someValue Then
'perform something here like this. Copy columns A:D to the Master Sheet if match
For lCol = 1 To 4 'or you could go 1 to lastCol if you needed it dynamic
Sheets("MASTER").Cells(mRow, lCol) = Sheets(sheet).Cells(lRow, lCol) 'mRow as Row on Master
Next lCol
mRow = mRow + 1 'Increment the Master Row
End If
Next lRow
End Sub
Thanks anyways. But what i wanted was just to Name ranges the columns in worksheet.
I have already accomplished the copy and paste (Loading data b/w worksheets).
This is what i wanted.
vRowCount = DestWorkSheet.Cells(1, 1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row
vColCount = DestWorkSheet.Cells(1, 1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Column
DestWorkSheet.usedRange.Columns.AutoFit
AddNamedRange Dest_RATES, DATA_Dest_RATES
Where AddNamedRange is a function,
Public Sub AddNamedRange(ByVal sheetCodeName As String, ByVal namedRange As String)
Dim rngToBeNamed As Range
Dim ws As Worksheet
On Error GoTo AddNamedRange_Error
Set rngToBeNamed = GetUsedRange(sheetCodeName)
Set ws = rngToBeNamed.Worksheet
ws.Names.Add name:=namedRange, RefersTo:=ws.Range(rngToBeNamed.Address)
On Error GoTo 0
Exit Sub
AddNamedRange_Error:
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & " (" & Err.Description & ") in procedure AddNamedRange of Module UtilitiesRange"
End Sub
Regards,
Mani
Seems like you could just use something like this in the sheet module:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal target As Range)
Dim i As Long
Dim NamesOfNames(1 To 4) As String
NamesOfNames(1) = "NameOfColumn1"
NamesOfNames(2) = "NameOfColumn2"
NamesOfNames(3) = "NameOfColumn3"
NamesOfNames(4) = "NameOfColumn4"
For i = 1 To 4
ThisWorkbook.Names.Add Name:=NamesOfNames(i), _
RefersTo:=Range(Cells(1, i), Cells(Cells(Rows.Count, i).End(xlUp).Row, i))
Next i
End Sub
