Use case: I want to copy data from column A to Column B (where column A, B are arbitrary columns). Once the data is in Column B, I want to remove duplicate entries within column B.
Make a loop that moves data from column A to column B and then removes duplicates for each sheet in a workbook.
`Sub Copy()
For i = 1 To Sheets.Count
Worksheets(i).Range("A1:A100")
Destination:=Worksheets(i).Range("B1")
Next
End Sub
`
For testing I separated the tasks into two different Sub(). Sub Copy() is working and correctly copies my data. Sheet1 is also named "Sheet1" for my specific workbook
`Sub RemoveStuff()
Dim rng As Range
For j = 1 To Sheets.Count
Set rng = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range(Range("B1"),Range("B1").End(xlDown)).Select
rng.RemoveDuplicates Columns:=(1), Header:=xlGuess
Next
End Sub
`
My error seems to be in defining the range correctly. Each sheet will have a different number of entries to remove duplicates from. Sheet1 might have 50 rows and reduce to 6. Sheet2 could have 70 and reduce to 3. Sheet3 could have 20 rows and reduce to 12 uniques. Excel does not let you remove duplicates from range (B:B!)
How can I properly define my range so I can remove duplicates in a loop for a dynamically defined range for each sheet(sheet=tabs in workbook)?
EDIT 2-23-17
New code from Y0wE3K
Sub RemoveStuff()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.Columns("P:P").RemoveDuplicates,Columns:=1, Header:=xlYes
Next
End Sub
Still does not work. If I manually select Column P before I run the macro, it works. But it only goes for the one sheet I have selected, it does not seem to execute the loop. Definitely does not automatically do each sheet, or prompt me for each one.
EDIT: 3/4
Make sure that you do not have any protected data, I also experienced issues with pivot tables but I think this may be permissions thank you for help.
Your RemoveStuff subroutine can be rewritten as:
Sub RemoveStuff()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets ' Use Worksheets instead of Sheets,
' in case there are any Charts
'You can just select the whole column, rather than selecting
'specific rows
ws.Columns("B:B").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlGuess
Next
End Sub
Sub RemoveStuff()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.Columns("P:P").RemoveDuplicates,Columns:=1, Header:=xlYes
Next
End Sub
This code will work. As a final note, please make sure you have no Protected Data, or pivot tables inside of the sheets you need to run the remove script on. For whatever reason that caused mine to fail, but running my script on the correct sheets that are unprotected worked GREAT.

I have 3 worksheets: WUR, Homologation and read.
I want to read column 1 from "WUR", when i find first value i want to compare with first column from "Homologation", if the values is the same then put this values in firm column in worksheet 3, "Read". This code is from Button found in Worksheet 3.
I try this:
Sub Read_Click()
Dim x As Integer
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
NumRows = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("WUR").Range("A1", ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Homologation").Range("A1").End(xlDown)).Rows.Count
Range("A1").Select
For x = 1 To NumRows
Next
End Sub
With my code i try to find first values from the first column in "WUR" but my code work in Sheet 3, not in first WorkSheet where i want.
It might be because in
Range("A1").Select
you don't specify the worksheet where A1 has to be selected. If you therefore have currently another worksheet open, the selection will be made there. Try defining it like you did the line above
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("WUR").Range("A1").Select
I'm stuck on how to structure a piece of code that:
Loops through all worksheets that begin with the number 673: (e.g. 673:green, 673:blue)
Selects the data in these worksheets from row 5 up until the last row with data - code that works for this (generously provided by another user) is
Dim report As Worksheet
Set report = Excel.ActiveSheet
With report
.Range(.Cells(5, "K"), .Cells(.Rows.Count, "K").End(xlUp)).EntireRow.Select
End With
Select the "Colours" worksheet
Paste the rows at the next available blank row. There could be up to 40/50 worksheets which will have data pasted into the "Colours" worksheet so I need the data added to the next available line.
Thank you in advance.
Loop over the sheets in the workbook and check their names
For Each sheet in ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If Instr(sheet.Name,"673")>0 Then
...
End If
Next
Good, but you're going to want to copy.
Selection.Copy
Just select.
Worksheets("Colours").Select
Find the last row then go to the next. The row is found by finding the first populated row from the bottom up. Note I used explicit sheet references, which is unnecessary since you selected the sheet already. This is better form, however, if you will be manipulating data on multiple sheets in your code.
lastRow = Worksheets("Colours").Cells(Worksheets("Colours").rows.count,1).End(xlUp).Row
Worksheets("Colours").Cells(lastRow + 1, 1).Select
Activesheet.Paste
I know there's many StackOverlow Q&A's on copying & pasting from a cell value in VBA. However, I can't seem to make it work for my own project. I want to copy the entire row(s) if it matches the Distinct Store# (non incremental) in Column H into a new sheet (in this code below, "Sheet1") which already has a template layout where I copy/paste the values. The template looks the same on every sheet before any data is filled in, except the first 2 tabs which have the data ("Appointments" and "Invoices").
I came up with the VBA below, but here's the catch- the cell# that it pastes the row(s) (in the code below, "A10") changes based on the Store #. This is because I am copying rows from the 1st sheet ("Appointments") in the workbook from the distinct Store#, then deleting the empty rows above the area where the 2nd sheet ("Invoices") data goes. Some stores may return 10 rows or none at all. The Case, which is the Store #, is currently manually put in one by one. Should it be an array instead?
Anyway...I was hoping to automate the copying/pasting and loop for each store to their sheet. Maybe I'm going about this wrong, but would anyone be kind enough to suggest how to solve my error code "Method or data member not found." as well as provide any suggestions on making my code better for a loop for filtered cell copying to different spots for each sheet.
Simple explanation of my step by step process:
1.Filter Store # from "Appointments" sheet.
2. Copy all rows for that store and paste into a new sheet with template named "Sheet1" in B3.
3. Filter Store # from "Invoices" sheet.
4. Copy all rows for that store and paste into the previously made sheet named "Sheet" under the above rows. (Some stores do not have invoices, so this section is blank/NULL). Paste destination cell for "Invoices" will be different for each store# depending on how many rows they get from the "Appointments" sheet (could be A10 or A25).
5. LOOP- Next store #, next sheet (sheet2).
Sub CopyToNewSheetInv()
Dim i As Range
Dim book As Workbooks
Dim sheet1 As Worksheets
Dim sheet2 As Worksheets
Set book = Workbooks("SampleWorkbookName")
Set sheet1 = Worksheets("AllInvoices")
Set sheet2 = Worksheets("Sheet1")
For Each i In sheet1.Range("H:H")
Select Case i.Value
Case 1243
sheet2.Range("A10").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).EntireRow.Value = i.EntireRow.Value
Case Else
End Select
Next i
End Sub
Try this:
Sub CopyToNewSheetInv()
Dim i As Range
Dim book As Workbook
Dim sheet1 As Worksheet
Dim sheet2 As Worksheet
Set book = Workbooks("SampleWorkbookName.xlsx")
Set sheet1 = book.Worksheets("AllInvoices")
Set sheet2 = book.Worksheets("Sheet1")
'iterate only thorugh those cells in H that have data, not all 1.04 million
For Each i In sheet1.Range("H1", sheet1.Range("H" & sheet1.Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
Select Case i.Value
Case 1243,"1243"
sheet2.Rows(sheet2.Range("A10000").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row).Value = sheet1.Rows(i.Row).Value
Case Else
End Select
Next i
End Sub
I want to make drop Down List in sheet2 which contains values from sheet1 column. I have tried this code.
Sub testIt()
Dim r As Long, endRow As Long, pasteRowIndex As Long
endRow = 10 ' of course it's best to retrieve the last used row number via a function
pasteRowIndex = 1
For r = 1 To endRow 'Loop through sheet1 and search for your criteria
If Cells(r, Columns("B").Column).Value = "YourCriteria" Then 'Found
'Copy the current row
Rows(r).Select
Selection.Copy
'Switch to the sheet where you want to paste it & paste
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Rows(pasteRowIndex).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
'Next time you find a match, it will be pasted in a new row
pasteRowIndex = pasteRowIndex + 1
'Switch back to your table & continue to search for your criteria
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
End If
Next r
columns in sheet1 are changing oftenly. so needs to create Dynamic VBA Macro code.
Please guide me for this query.
For your case, I don't think that you need a macro to manage the drop down list but perhaps data validation will do.
Create a new worksheet,
I got a worksheet contain the following data at column A
At the worksheet that i want the dropdownlist, i just highlight the cell and click on the data validation button at data ribbon
In the data validation, create the following setting
Click on the ok button and the list will be created
Since in the columns in the worksheet(source) keep on changing, you need write the macro to copy the entire needed column exclude the header of the column to next worksheet(e.g. worksheet that create the dropdown list).
Edited: Code to detect the criteria column and copy the column
Option Explicit
Dim MyWorkbook As Workbook
Dim MyWorksheet As Worksheet
Dim MyWorksheet2 As Worksheet
Dim WantedColumn As Long
Dim ColumnPointer As Long
Sub copyCriteria()
Set MyWorkbook = Workbooks(ActiveWorkbook.Name)
Set MyWorksheet = MyWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet6")
Set MyWorksheet2 = MyWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet5")
For ColumnPointer = 1 To MyWorksheet.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
If MyWorksheet.Cells(1, ColumnPointer).Value = "ColumnE" Then
MyWorksheet.Columns(ColumnPointer).Copy
MyWorksheet2.Range("A1").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Application.CutCopyMode = False
MyWorksheet2.Rows("1:1").Delete Shift:=xlUp
End If
Next
End Sub
What you are trying to do can be done with a simple named range and Data Validation to use that Name. If you have not heard of Dynamic Ranges, then you should read on.
If Sheet1 only has the 1 column for the DropDown list via Data Validation, you should use a Named Range instead of a fixed Range. But this named range is dynamic (by using formula)! See OFFSET usage.
Lets say Sheet1 is like below:
Lets say the name to be used is MyList, then in Excel click Name Manager in Formulas tab, and place in below as the Range Refers to:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A))
Now in Sheet2, the Data Validation is placed on B2, when setting it up, once you put in the source to =MyList, Excel highlights it:
Then the drop down list worked:
Now if you add data to your list (Column A on Sheet 1), the MyList automatically expands and hence your DataValidation drop down list!
Note the list will go up to the first blank cell in Column A, so NO GAPS!
Enjoy!
Within an Excel workbook I have 5 specific worksheets (different names) that I want concatenate the data from into a different worksheet (master) within the same workbook. Simply taking the data from each sheet and appending it to the bottom of the data in the "Master" sheet. Also removing blank rows if possible. Is there a macro that can do this?
There are several choices. If you only need to do this once, don't bother using a macro. Simply go to each sheet, copy the rows, move to the master sheet, scroll down to the first empty row, and paste.
Assuming that you actually need a macro for this, something like this might work:
Sub CombineSheets()
Dim Wksht As Worksheet, MasterSht As Worksheet, R As Integer
Set MasterSht = Worksheets.Add
R = 0
For Each Wksht In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Not Wksht Is MasterSht Then
Wksht.UsedRange.Copy Destination:=MasterSht.Cells(R + 1, 1)
R = MasterSht.UsedRange.Rows.Count
End If
Next Wksht
End Sub
