I am trying to use pivot table to generate charts but then I wanted to incorporate vba codes to clear values if certain string is selected, so I don't want to generate charts if certain string is selected.
Now, my vba codes uses a lot of lookup functions which I should incorporate the iferror statement back then but again I feel like its too late for me to go back and will just take more time to fix each vlookup function I used. Now, since I am only getting stuck on this portion, I am just going to post the codes for this portion.
How pivot table and charts work is that the user selects zip code and/or county and it will calculate vlaues and graph will appear so I can monitor monthly data. Each of the 3 selection button has N/A which is supposed to not return any value so chart won't graph, similar to reset button. I just tested if I select zipcode as N/A but the codes failed so I haven't expanded my test codes to county and territory. Also (All) is different from N/A as for (All), I am calculating everything, as the whole book of business.
I tried to copy and paste the pivot table as values and see if it will work, and it just won't execute, and when I pressed F8, it looks like it skips the range selection and selection.clearcontents part and jumps to the end.
Sub test()
'take out n/a
Dim find As String
find = "N/A"
Select Case find
Case Cells(2, 2).Value = find
Range("E14:R14").Select
Range("E43:R43").Select
Range("E73:R73").Select
Selection.ClearContents
End Select
End Sub

I have a vba code that generates an email. I would like the subject to be the data from the first and last cells in my list. The thing is, my list isnt of a set length, sometimes it contains 5 pieces of data sometimes 8 etc. How do i tell vba to pick the first and last cell no matter the length of the list?
thanks
For me, best practice is to just have cells on your sheet that calculate the first and last row (different ways you can do that), then give those cells a range name such as FirstRow and LastRow. In your vba then you refer to these cells to make your code dynamic.
e.g:
firstRow = Range("FirstRow)
lastRow = Range("lastRow")
test = range(cells(firstRow,lastRow))
-- Note I have not written VBA in many many years so am writing the above from memory so it may be not be exact.
Of course you can do it all entirely in VBA using the xlDown method mentioned previously but I prefer the transparency of it being on the main page so that easily spot if something breaks.
Range("A1").End(xlDown).Value
Where the cell is where you want to start and the End part moves all the way to the end
This sort of follows up from my previous few questions on the same workbook.
I have two sheets, the first being Car Search, which contains a form (NOT a VBA form, just a normal table that appears like a form) to fill in. The second sheet is Raw Data, and will contain all the information entered in the Car Search sheet. It will be displayed row by row (see 2nd image).
In the Raw Data sheet, I am using the formula =""&'Car Search'!B3 to copy the contents of cell B3 in the Car Search spreadsheet.
My question is: If I had a new Car ID value, how can that automatically be entered into the row below?
Essentially, I am trying to use the form to capture all data for new cars coming in, and then I would like all that data to appear in the second sheet in their respective rows/columns.
Any help much appreciated! :)
EDIT:
Good news!
You need to use VBA:
Sub Range_Copy_Examples()
Worksheets("Car Search").Range("B3").Copy Worksheets("Raw Data").Range("=OFFSET(Sheet3!B1,0,0,COUNTA(B1:B300)+1,1)")
End Sub
However there is a small bug where it keeps pasting across past values, so I have suggested an alternative macro below
Re-edit:
A more mechanical way to make macro work (hopefully someone can improve on it) looks like this:
Sub Macro1()
Sheets("Car Search").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Raw Data").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Worksheets("Car Search").Activate
End Sub
This works as follows:
in Car Search, have cell B3 selected the whole time
in Raw Data, select the cell with the last value in the column where you want you Car Search!B3 data pasted (you only have to do this once)
press Run on the macro (easy enough to just record one yourself)
go back to Car Search and change the value of B3, press Ctrl-Enter to keep the same cell selected after changing value, then press the same macro button without changing a thing.
If someone could add so that when pressing Ctrl-Enter on Car Search!B3 the Raw Data gets automatically added without having to manually run the macro, it would be fully automated!
In reference to the picture below, I would like to loop through a certain column (Column D in this case) until I hit a specific cell (Yellow cells in this case). In my final spreadsheet I have multiple yellow cells that I would like to target. Once I hit a yellow cell, I would like to start a simple summation of the values one cell to the left of the yellow (Column C). I would like to keep summing the values until I hit a blank cell, which would indicate the end of the set.
Please let me know if you need any more clarification!
Here's some code that should get the job done. However you are going to have to adapt it to however you want to use it.
Dim Summation as Double
For Each Target in Range("D:D")
If Target.Interior.ColorValue = 6 Then
Summation = Summation + Target.Offset(0, -1).Value
End If
Next Target
I hope this helps. However, don't forget about FreeMan's suggestions about good question asking and using the macro recorder!
This Macro I have built works but I am hoping for a faster version or a Formula that will do the same in less time.
What I Have:
For Each cell In Range("Table_Query_1[[#Data],[Reason2]]")
For Each PossibleValue In Range("F2", Range("F2").End(xlDown))
If Len(cell) = 0 Then
If (InStr(UCase(cell.Offset(0, 1)), UCase(PossibleValue)) <> 0) Then
cell.Value = PossibleValue.Value
End If
Else
Exit For
End If
Next
If Len(cell) = 0 Then
cell.Value = cell.Offset(0, -1)
End If
Next
The only other way I could get anything to work way with the following Array Formula
=IF(ISNA(MATCH($F$3:$F$10,[#Extra Info],0)),[#Reason],$F$3:$F$10)
but this doesn't work for Partial matches as in the case of Row 4 and 9. I also have my doubts that this array formula would be that much faster then a vba macro along with the fact it would also require more upkeep with the test values range (F2:f3) in this case as I would have to constantly update that formula OR I wouild have to make the original range like F2:F100 witch would cause it to take that much longer.
So, what i'd like is if ANY value in my range of values (F2:F3 in this case), Is found inside of the Extra Info Column on the current Row , Then Reason2 of that row (Offset(0, -1)) equals the Value that was matched. But if nothing is found then just use the Reason in that row(Offset(0,1)).
And the second Issue is that I need the Macro to Run After the QueryTable refreshes but if I set it as a Cell Change Event on a cell the is in the query that will change, the macro runs and finishes before the Final querytable is imported and sorted.
Solved!
This is post the comment that I posted above which had the initial formula.
=IF(COUNT(FIND($F$2:$F$3,C1)),"What Will Go Here",A1)
The below tells you what has to go in place of "What Will Go Here"
Put this formula in cell B2. Note that this is an Array Formula. You will have to press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER after you enter the formula.
=IF(COUNT(FIND($F$2:$F$4,C2)),INDEX($F$2:$F$4,MATCH(SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(--FIND($F$2:$F$4,C2,1)),--FIND($F$2:$F$4,C2,1))),FIND($F$2:$F$4,C2,1),0),0),A2)
Screenshot
Explanation:
FIND($F$2:$F$4,C2,1) when used with an array returns an array. To check the values you can highlight it and press F9 and it will tell you the position at which the match is found. See this screenshot
So it tells us that it found the match at the 3rd position in 4532. It yet doesn't tell us with what did it find a match.
Now the next step is to retrieve the position of that number from the array. So in the above example it will be position 2 and to find that position we will use MATCH() and to use MATCH we will need that 3
So to retrieve 3 from the array we use this formula
=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(--FIND($F$2:$F$4,C2,1)),--FIND($F$2:$F$4,C2,1)))
Now we have that 3 so we will use it in Match to find the position in the Possible Value
=MATCH(SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(--FIND($F$2:$F$4,C2,1)),--FIND($F$2:$F$4,C2,1))),FIND($F$2:$F$4,C2,1),0)
This will give us 2
Now we know the position of the number in the Possible Value. To find that number we will use INDEX
=INDEX($F$2:$F$4,MATCH(SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(--FIND($F$2:$F$4,C2,1)),--FIND($F$2:$F$4,C2,1))),FIND($F$2:$F$4,C2,1),0),0)

This is a solution I came across that does not have to be Array Entered and seems to run faster then Siddharth Rout's solution. I am using the formula
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(1E+100,SEARCH($F$2:$F$4,C2),$F$2:$F$4),A2)
Where I am looking for any word in C2 that is in the range F2:F4. If none found it will throw an ERROR and in that situation I know nothing was found and simply return the original reason.
Not shown in the picture I also turn F2:F4 into a named range called Reasons and change the formula too:
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(1E+100,SEARCH(Reasons,C2),Reasons),A2)
This question is somewhat difficult to explain, so bear with me.
I am pulling data from a large table for my company and am trying to create a macro to make this data easier to read/understand. The data that is on the site changes every day based on what caused certain failures in our plant, which causes my macro to analyze data that isn't there or wrong cells (due to rows getting shifted/moved/added/removed). Because I don't think that was really clear, here is an example:
The macro says to select cells J5, J13, and J25. These were, when I was creating the macro, the values I wanted to be put in a list. However, when I pulled the data and ran the macro today, these values were in different spots on my sheet (the value for cell J13 is now in J12). This completely messes up all of the analysis and renders my macro / data pull useless.
Is there a way to have the macro select the data more intelligently? Perhaps have it check for the group name, then select the value from the cell next to it? I wish I could word this better... Thanks if you've gotten this far!
Simply put... yes. Here's a code exert for looking for a groupname and getting the adjacent cell:
Dim Group1Range As Range
'Look in ThisWorkbook
With ThisWorkbook
'Look in Sheet1
With .Sheets(1)
'Look in Column I
With .Columns("I:I")
'Find the text Group1
Set Group1Range = .Find(What:="Group1").Offset(0, 1)
End With
End With
End With
'Indicate the address of the found range
Debug.Print Group1Range.Address
End Sub
Now here are ways that you can improve your question:
Explain how you know that cell J13 is no longer valid, and that J12 is now.
Give us some sample data.
Give us your code.
Tell us what your end result would be, possibly with an example.
