I have a list of values mentioned in a column. i want to use vba to pick x number of values from that list.the number x is mentioned in another cell. can you help me?
i have tried various formulas but no solution.
assuming myColumnRng is your range of cells in a columns containing your list of values, you can get its first N elements in a Variant array as follows:
myElements = Application.Transpose(myColumnRng .Resize(nElements).Value)
to give a little bit more of context:
Option Explicit
Sub main()
Dim myColumnRng As Range
Dim myElements As Variant
Dim iEl As Long
Set myColumnRng = Range("A1", Cells(Rows.count, "A").End(xlUp)) '<--| set your range as the column "A" one from row 1 down to last not empty row
myElements = Application.Transpose(myColumnRng .Resize(nElements).Value)
For iEl = 1 To UBound(myElements)
Debug.Print myElements(iEl)
Next
End Sub
Pick x values on random, or pick first x values in the list?
I would like to get datas from sheet 1 to sheet 2 with reference to the column headings With VBA.
For example:(EXCEL file)
So if I want to find the sum of fun1 person A with criteria 1 the command have to go and find the heading “sum of fun 1” in sheet 1 and choose the datas that are only under criteria 1 and sum it up in sheet 2 cell D5. (By using column heading reference instead of cell reference. The table range is A2 : U80. thanks.
Public Sub Match()
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("Sheet2!B3") = Application.Sum(Application.Index(Range("A:G"), 0, Application.Match("Crit1" & "Fun1personA", Range("A2:G2"), 0)))
End Sub
I have tried it codes but it failed. i know that i havnt include the Row reference for crit1 , but iam not sure how to apply that to the formula.
Can anyone help me with this ? Thanks in advance
You could do it with a formula.
I'll assume that the table in your example covers the range A1:E10.
First we'll need to find the correct column using a MATCH formula:
=MATCH("Fun2PersonA",$1:$1,0) - this will return 3 as Fun2PersonA is in column C.
Next we need to know how many rows are in the table. Assuming the criteria in column A has no blanks except cell A1 we can use COUNTA:
=COUNTA($A:$A)+1 - this will return 10.
The above two formula will be used a few times within the final result, so will probably be easier to use helper cells to store the results (I'll just call them ColumnRef and LastRowRef for readability rather than actual cell references).
Now to set a reference to the first cell and last cell in column C.
=INDEX($1:$1,,ColumnRef) will reference the header, while =INDEX($1:$1048576,RowRef,ColumnRef) will reference the last cell.
As these can be used as references and not just values =SUM(INDEX($1:$1,,ColumnRef):INDEX($1:$1048576,RowRef,ColumnRef)) will sum everything in that column. It's the same as writing =SUM(C1:C10).
But you want to use SUMIF, so we need to reference the criteria in column A as well.
=INDEX($A:$A,RowRef) will reference the last cell in column A, so $A$1:INDEX($A:$A,RowRef) will reference all values in column A.
Final Formula:
The final step is to stick it all together into your final formula:
=SUMIF($A$1:INDEX($A:$A,RowRef),"Crit1",INDEX($1:$1,,ColumnRef):INDEX($1:$1048576,RowRef,ColumnRef))
This is the same as writing =SUMIF($A$1:$A$10,"Crit1",$C$1:$C$10)
For a VBA solution:
Public Function SumCriteria(FunPerson As String, Criteria As String) As Double
Dim rTable As Range
Dim rCol As Range
Dim rCriteria As Range
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim LastCol As Long
'Update Sheet1 to the sheet name with your table.
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
'You may have to change how to find the last row/column depending
'on any extra data on the sheet.
LastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
LastCol = .Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
Set rTable = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(LastRow, LastCol))
'EDIT: You could set your table as below if it's a static size.
'Set rTable = .Range("A2:U80")
'The first statement finds the FunPerson heading
Set rCol = rTable.Rows(1).Find(What:=FunPerson, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
If Not rCol Is Nothing Then
SumCriteria = Application.WorksheetFunction.SumIf(rTable.Columns(1), Criteria, rTable.Columns(rCol.Column))
Else
SumCriteria = CVErr(xlErrValue)
End If
End With
End Function
This method looks at column A and row 1 to get the dimensions of the table and then uses SUMIF to count the figures.
You can use it as a worksheet formula: =SumCriteria("Fun1PersonA","Crit1")
or within VBA:
Public Sub Test()
Dim a As Double
a = SumCriteria("Fun1PersonA", "Crit1")
End Sub
Column 1 is in Sheet1 and column 2 is in Sheet2. If the value is not found , then highlight that cell. I am trying to do a vlookup comparing two columns. I think the Syntax is incorrect. Please see my code I was trying below:
Option Explicit
Sub VlookupColoums()
' declarations
Dim lookFor As Range
Dim srchRange As Range
Dim I As Long
Dim vtest As Variant
' start
Set lookFor = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A13").End(xlUp)
Set srchRange = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A2").End(xlUp)
vtest = Application.VLookup(lookFor.Rows.Count, srchRange.Rows.Count, 2, False)
' process
For I = 1 To lookFor.Rows.Count
If IsError(vtest) Then
srchRange.Interior.Color = 4
Else
Exit Sub
End If
Next I
End Sub
Assuming you have data on Sheet1!A1:A15 and Sheet2!A1:A10.
Also assuming you want to highlight unique cells (ones withouth at least one identical in the other list) on Sheet2.
Basically you want to format all the cells that if counted on the other list comes up with 0. The steps:
Select all the cells to be evaluated on Sheet2
Go to Home/Styles/Conditional Formatting
Select New Rule, then Use a formula to determine...
Enter this formula: =COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5,A1)=0
Click on the Format button, and set up a formatting for the unique cells
OK
Profit. :)
I have a sheet with just order numbers and another with order numbers and all of the data associated with those order numbers. I want to match the order numbers and transfer all of the available data into the other sheet. I've been trying to use loops and VLOOKUP but I'm having problems (plus I have 116 columns I want to transfer data from so my vlookup expression doesn't look very nice). Any advice would be appreciated!
this is what I have so far and I'm getting an object error.
I don't think it's the right way to go about it in general though.
Dim LookUpRange As Range
Dim row As Range
Set LookUpRange = Worksheets("batches").Range("B4:B1384")
Set row = Worksheets("batches").Range("C:DL")
For Each row In LookUpRange
row.Select
Selection.FormulaArray ="=VLOOKUP(RC[-1],OrderLvl!RC[-1]:R[1380]C[113],{2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,207,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,115},FALSE)"
Next row
End Sub
Please consider this VBA script to resolve your inquiry:
Sub LookupOuput()
Dim OrderNumberColumn As Range
Set OrderNumberColumn = Worksheets("batches").Range("B2:B1384")
Dim LookUpRange As Range
Set LookUpRange = Worksheets("OrderLvl").Range("C:DL")
Dim cell As Range
Dim FindResult As Range
For Each cell In OrderNumberColumn
If Not cell.Value2 = Empty Then
Set FindResult = LookUpRange.Find(what:=cell.Value2)
If Not FindResult Is Nothing Then
cell.Range("A1:DJ1").Value2 = LookUpRange.Rows(FindResult.row).Value2
End If
End If
Next cell
End Sub
Basically searches for each Order Number in the first sheet on the second sheet. This outputs (if search term exists) the cell that that string is found which we later refer to its row number to output the whole row to the first sheet. Cheers,
A regular VLOOKUP may be able to give you what you need, if you use a small trick...
Insert a row above the data table, and put sequential numbers in
each cell of that row. (ie, A1 = 1, B1 = 2, C1 = 3, etc...)
Do the same thing on your blank table.
Assuming that your first order number is in cell A2, put the following formula into B2: =VLOOKUP($A2,[other sheet name]!$A$1:$DZ$5000,B$1,0)
Drag this formula across all 116 columns, then down all however many rows you've got.
You'll need to adjust the ranges, obviously, but make sure that your lookup array starts in column A. (or alternatively, that your numbers start in the same column as the first column in your array.) Adding the numbers along the top allows you to change what column of the array you're referencing, just by dragging the cell formula.
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,"")
