I have looked at numerous other posts but have not been able to find a workable solution to a problem I am having. Firstly, I am a total newbie with VBA and I do mean total.
I have a spreadsheet where a date is input when we successfully make contact with someone. This data then needs to be cut and pasted onto a master archive so we can prove we have called them if required. What I need is a way to cut and paste the whole line the data is on, onto a workbook which will store the data. My plan is to have 7 workbooks feeding into one master but the master can have 7 tabs if that makes things easier. I can supply the spreadsheet I am working on if required.
I have tried the following code but it seems to copy a row above each time leading to blank rows on the master sheet (they're actually showing as gold but i think that's to do with the formatting of surrounding cells)....
Sub deleterow()
'Using autofilter to copy rows that have a completed date field to a new
worksheet
Dim LR As Long
Range("A3").EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlDown
LR = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, "M").End(xlUp).Row + 3
LR1 = Sheets("Sheet3").Cells(Rows.Count, "M").End(xlUp).Row + 1
With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("M3:M" & LR)
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<>", VisibleDropDown:=True
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Copy
Destination:=Sheets("Sheet3").Range("A" & LR1)
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Delete
End With
End Sub

I have a workbook that I use for keeping and updating the details of different products for a project. All the products are entered onto the "Master Sheet" and then transferred onto the Stage specific Sheets(eg. "Stage 1 Sheet"). I want to be able to update any details on the Master Sheet and then run a macro which clears the Stage Sheets and re-transfers the products to the specific Stage Sheet.
I have been able to get it to transfer the products to the correct Stage Sheet based on the Stage column. However I can't find a way that updates the Stage Sheets when a detail on a product on the Master Sheet is changed, deleted or added.
Here is the Macro I have written for transferring the data to the correct Stage Sheets:
Sub Stages()
Dim LR As Long, i As Long
LR = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 10 To LR
If Range("BF" & i).Value = "1" Then Rows(i).Copy Destination:=Sheets("Stage 1 Sheet").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
If Range("BF" & i).Value = "2" Then Rows(i).Copy Destination:=Sheets("Stage 2 Sheet").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
Next i
End Sub
The problem I keep hitting is that for each stage there will be a different number of Products and possibly none at all.
Currently I have only 2 Stage Sheets but will be needing to allow for having 22 of them.
There is one constant on every Stage Sheet. It is that the Products get entered into Row 10 and down.
Thanks in advance for your help. Please let me know if you have any queries or need further information.
I've been trying to optimize some of my coding and managed to cut and speed it up a lot. However there are some things that are still quite clunky (and me still a noob). Backstory is that my code is opening source and target files, copies a lot of data of variable length, closes source and then does a lot of operations and finally saves target file.
One of the things Id like is to do if possible is a direct copy of data without using clipboard, activating workbooks, selecting sheets (whatever of this is possible to pack into more efficient code that I am currently having)
Windows("SOURCE.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("Data").Select
Range("A2:AX10").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("TARGET.xlsm").Activate
Range("A2").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Is it possible to do a selection (A2:AX10 and all the way down to last row) in SOURCE file-Data sheet and directly copy it to TARGET file-Data sheet cell A2 without using clipboard.
The reason why I use A2:AX10 and then selection down is because I have a lot of blank cells in the whole data set and this way I get entire data.
I would like to be able to to that selection and use it as a range in this line
Workbooks(“SOURCE”).Worksheets("Data").Range(“A2:AX10 & ALLTHEWAYDOWN”).Copy _Workbooks(“TARGET”).Worksheets("Data").Range(“A2")
I was trying to solve this but I dont end up with desired result. When I try doing selection and setting as range then both trying copy range with activitng workbooks and in the direct copy mode I get 1004 error.
Is it possible to optimize this chunk and make it work. It would improve a lot of my VBA.
Thanks,
You need something like this:
With Workbooks("SOURCE.xlsm").Sheets("Data")
.Range("A2:AX10", .Range("A2:AX10").End(xlDown)).Copy Workbooks("TARGET.xlsm").ActiveSheet.Range("A2")
End With
You could probably also use CurrentRegion rather than End(xlDown
You can set one range's values (the range where you would want to paste values) equal to a source range's values (the range which you would previously have copied).
Sub paste_values()
Dim wb_A As Workbook, ws_A As Worksheet
Dim wb_B As Workbook, ws_B As Worksheet
Dim last_row As Long
Set wb_A = ThisWorkbook
Set ws_A = wb_A.Sheets(1)
Set wb_B = Workbooks("WorkbookB")
Set ws_B = wb_B.Sheets(1)
With ws_A
last_row = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
End With
ws_B.Range("A2:AX" & last_row).Value = ws_A.Range("A2:AX" & last_row).Value
End Sub
This code is setting the new range's values equal to the original range. It prevents the need to activate sheets or workbooks, whilst also copying data to a range without filling the clipboard.
I would also recommend using last_row = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row to find the last row of your data. Although you do need to ensure you use this on a column which you know contains continuous data.
I have data on multiple sheets in a workbook that I want copied all to one sheet in that same workbook. When I run the macro, I would like it to start by deleting the current data in the "iPage Data Export" sheet and then replacing it with data from the other sheets.
I want the process to occur one column at a time since I may not bring over everything. Right now I am trying to learn how to do just one column.
I was able to get it to copy all of the contents of a column from one sheet, but when it moves to the next sheet, it overwrites the existing data. In the end, I only get one sheets worth of data copied.
Here are my 4 problems:
How do I make it clear the data on this sheet before running the routine?
How can I make it start each copy function at the bottom of that row (i.e. after the last cell with a value)? I have tried many of the suggestions on this and other boards without success. I will admit I am not very experienced in this.
How can I make it copy to a particular column (currently it just seems to default to A.
How can I concatenate multiple columns during the paste function? I.e. what if I want it to insert: A2&", "B2 instead of just A2
Sub CombineData()
Dim Sht As Worksheet
For Each Sht In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If Sht.Name <> "iPage Data Export" Then
Sht.Select
Range("C:C").Copy
Sheets("iPage Data Export").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Else
End If
Next Sht
End Sub
How do I make it clear the data on this sheet before running the routine?
Sht.Cells.ClearContents

Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
In detail:
Rows.Count will return the number of rows in the sheet, so in the legacy style *.xls workbooks this would return the number 65,536. Therefore "C" & Rows.Count is the same as C65536
Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp) is the same as going to C65536 and pressing Ctrl + ↑ - The command End(xlDirection) tells the program to go the last cell in that range. In this case, we would end up at the last cell containing data in column C.
.Offset(1, 0) means that we want to return the range offset by an amount of rows and/or columns. VBA uses RC (Rows Columns) references, so whenever you see something like the Offset() function with two numbers being passed as the arguments, it usually relates to the row, and the column, in that order. In this case, we want the cell that is one row below the last cell we referenced.
All-in-all the phrase Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) means go to the last cell in column C, go up until we hit the last cell with data, and then return the cell below that - which will be the next empty cell.
How can I make it copy to a particular column (currently it just seems to default to A.
Range("C:C").Copy Destination:=Sheets("iPage Data Export").Range("A:A")
You can pass the Destination argument in the same line and actually bypass the clipboard (faster and cleaner)
How can I concatenate multiple columns during the paste function? I.e. what if I want it to insert: A2&", "B2 instead of just A2
Lets say you wanted to reference column A, B, and F - just use:
Range("A1, B1, F1").EntireColumn
To summarise, you could streamline your existing code to something like (untested):
Sub CombineData()
Dim Sht As Worksheet
For Each Sht In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If Sht.Name <> "iPage Data Export" Then
Sht.Range("C1:C" & Cells(Sht.Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Row).Copy Destination:=Sheets("iPage Data Export").Range("A:A")
End If
Next
End Sub
This should do for the copying:
Sub CombineData()
Dim sheet As Worksheet
For Each sheet In Worksheets
If (sheet.Name <> "iPage Data Export") Then
sheet.Select
Range("A1", ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)).Select
Selection.Copy
Worksheets("iPage Data Export").Activate
Cells(1, ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Column + 1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
Next
End Sub
For the concatenation you need to be more specific - but I guess you should open a new question with a clearer focus if you need specific help on that.
In an attempt to take one of my rudimentary programs, and develop it more I am in need of help referencing last row references in Excel formulas as well as dragging formulas down consistently to the last row of a document.
To elaborate I am attempting to reference the last row in an ever expanding mapping table in my vlookup formula. The reason I need this is because as this mapping table expands when I am no longer coding this program, I need my vlookup formula which will be generated every time I run the program to adapt to the ever changing size.
Also my more pressing issue is in regard to taking that vlookup formula and being able to drag it down to the last row of a worksheet. The worksheet will be static and the last row will range anywhere from 70,000 rows to 90,000 rows. I am trying to avoid loops in this scenario as this will already be a very demanding formula and I would hate to loop through each row.
Currently my rudimentary code looks like this (this was built as a proof of concept, I understand the current method isn't the most ingenious but it served its initial purpose).
Ath.Cells(1, x) = "Business"
Ath.Cells(2, x).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(RC[1],Mapping!R2C4:R264C5,2,0),VLOOKUP(LEFT(RC[1],2),Mapping!R1C3:R264C5,3,0))"
Ath.Range("d2").Copy
Range("d2:d90000").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Calculate
I namely want to change this
Ath.Range("d2").Copy
Range("d2:d90000").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
and
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(RC[1],Mapping!R2C4:R264C5,2,0),VLOOKUP(LEFT(RC[1],2),Mapping!R1C3:R264C5,3,0))"
Perhaps these?
Ath.Range("d2").Copy
Range("d2:d" & Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Paste
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(RC[1],Mapping!R2C4:R" & Sheets("Mapping").Range(ActiveCell.Offset(Rows.Count, -1)).End(xlUp).Row & "C5,2,0),VLOOKUP(LEFT(RC[1],2),Mapping!R1C3:R" & Sheets("Mapping").Range(ActiveCell.Offset(Rows.Count, -1)).End(xlUp).Row & "C5,3,0))"
Combining Dans answer with work of my own I have developed a solution.
Sub Formulas()
Dim Map As Worksheet
Dim Ath As Worksheet
Dim last As Long
Set Ath = Sheets("Athena IBT TEST")
Set Map = Sheets("Mapping")
last = Map.Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(RC[1],Mapping!R1C1:R" & last & "C4,4,0),IFERROR(VLOOKUP(LEFT(RC[1],3),Mapping!R1C2:R" & last & "C4,3,0),VLOOKUP(LEFT(RC[1],3),Mapping!R1C3:R" & last & "C4,2,0)))"
End Sub
I need some help getting some direction on this task.
I have two spreadsheets dumps with large quantities of information. I need to combine them into one organized sheet.
Spreadsheet A has path to the file (via hard drive), with loads of additional info needed to be retained.
Spreadsheet B had path to the file (via hard drive), and for those in the content management system, the path in the CMS.
I would like to copy spreadsheet B into worksheet 2 in spreadsheet A, then run a macro that will search for matching values (path to file via hard drive), and where the same, copy the adjacent value of worksheet B (path in CMS) and copy that in the appropriate cell in spreadsheet A.
I have a vlookup function that does exactly what I need it to do, but how do I go about and put it in a macro to run?
=VLOOKUP(H1,A:B,2,FALSE)
How would I put this into a macro that returns the value, not just puts the formula in the cell?
Sub PCMSLookup()
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = Range("B" & Cells.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("J15:J" & LastRow).Formula = "=VLOOKUP(B15,'PCMS-dump'!A:B,2,FALSE)"
End Sub
The quickest way to put the value into the cells is to block in the formula then revert the formula to the returned value.
Sub PCMSLookup()
Dim LastRow As Long
with sheets("Sheet1") '<-set this worksheet reference properly
LastRow = .Range("B" & Cells.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
with .Range("J15:J" & LastRow)
.Formula = "=VLOOKUP(B15, 'PCMS-dump'!A:B, 2, FALSE)"
.cells = .value2
end with
end with
End Sub
Note that when you are within a With/End With grouping, all of the range and cell references are prefixed with a period (e.g. . or full stop). This shows that they are children of closest With/End With.
