Using VBA to find start value, count rows till that value becomes 0 and record result. Repeat for same column until the end of the data reached - vba

Question

I'm a newbie to VBA/coding in general and my usual tactic of sticking bits of pre-written code isn't working for my problem.
I'm looking to create a macro that will do 3 things:
Allow me to find a starting point for the data in a column.
Start counting the number of rows once the cell value has
changed to a constant.
Once the value moves back to the starting point for the count to stop and record the number of cells counted in separate column with positioning of the count in that column at the start point of the count.
Repeat until the end of the data.
For this case the start point will be when the cell has a value of >0.
It will increase to a constant number (300).
Once at 300 the macro will have to count the number of rows that contain the numerical value 300 until the value goes back to 0.
Report count in a separate table on the worksheet with the entry being input at the same relative position in the new table as when the count started from the data.
And finally the loop.
I need to also do a similar count but in the horizontal direction (i.e. counting columns on a row). If anyone can create a code for the vertical/row count problem above I'd really appreciate it if you could annotate it so I can attempt to understand/learn which bits of code carry out each action and thus change it up for horizontal/column count.
I've attached a screenshot of the spreadsheet however as a new user it must be as a link. The blue highlighted table is the data used for the vertical /row count problem I am talking about. The blank table underneath the highlighted table has manually inputted correct answers for the first column of data for what I would like the macro to do in case I haven't accurately described my request.
I have also attached the horizontal table with correct manually inputted answers for row 1 in the separate table for the column count along the row.
Lastly, here is the code that I have written to tackle the problem, however it is very basic and won't run.
Sub Count0()
For Each c In Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("D30:D39")
If c.Value = 0 Then
End If
If c.Value > 0 Then
v = Range(c.Value)
For i = 3 To Rows.Count
If Cells(i, 1).Value <> v Then
MsgBox CStr(i - 2)
End If
Next i
Next c
End Sub

This worked in the limited case I tested (two columns and several rows in different patterns. It's pretty basic--there are more elegant ways to do it.
Sub Count0()
'To hold the current cell
Dim current As Range
'To hold the total number of rows and columns having data
Dim rows As Long
Dim cols As Long
'To iterate across rows and columns
Dim r As Long
Dim c As Long
'Flag/counter variables
Dim found As Long 'Saves row on which first "constant" was found
Dim count As Long 'Saves count of "contants"
'Use SpecialCells method to obtain the maximum number of rows and columns
' that have data.
cols = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Column
rows = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row
'Increment through all columns that have data. This is a bit inefficient
' because it really isn't necessary to go through all the empty cells,
' but it works.
For c = 1 To cols
'Initialize flag/counter
found = 0
count = 0
'Increment through all rows for the current column.
For r = 1 To rows
'Examine the current cell
Set current = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(r, c)
'For positive values, save the first row that has the value
' and count the number of values.
If current.Value > 0 Then
If found = 0 Then found = r
count = count + 1
End If
'When the next non-positive value is reached--OR the end of the
' row is reached--and there was a constant found, write the count
' to the next worksheet in the cell corresponding to the row and
' column having the first instance of the constant.
If (current.Value <= 0 Or r = rows) And found > 0 Then
Worksheets("Sheet2").Cells(found, c).Value = count
'Reset the flag/counter
found = 0
count = 0
End If
Next r
Next c
End Sub

Answer 2

I was struggling with what you had written, and ended up doing this in the end. I left you variables for changing the sheets to read from and print to (assuming you can print the results to another sheet- if not it should be easy enough to change).
This should also work for all cells in your range, assuming that there are values in all boxes.
Problems I noted with your original code were:
The first if did nothing
I'm pretty sure you shouldn't use numbers in sub/function names
Dimensioning no variables is a bad idea
Anyway, give me a comment if you need any help (and well done for writing a good first question).
Sub CountZero()
Dim SourceSheet As Worksheet, SummarySheet As Worksheet
Dim CurrentCell As Range
Dim FirstRow As Long, LastRow As Long
Dim FirstColumn As Long, LastColumn As Long
Dim TotalValues As Long
Set SourceSheet = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set SummarySheet = Worksheets("Sheet2")
FirstRow = 1
LastRow = SourceSheet.Range("A" & rows.count).End(xlUp).row
FirstColumn = 1
LastColumn = SourceSheet.Cells(1, Columns.count).End(xlToLeft).column
For col = FirstColumn To LastColumn
For Rw = FirstRow To LastRow
Set CurrentCell = SourceSheet.Cells(Rw, col)
If CurrentCell <> 0 Then
TotalValues = ProcessSection(CurrentCell)
SummarySheet.Cells(Rw, col).value = TotalValues
Rw = Rw + TotalValues
End If
Next Rw
Next col
End Sub
Function ProcessSection(FirstCellWithValue As Range) As Long
Dim Counter As Long: Counter = 0
Do Until FirstCellWithValue.Offset(Counter, 0).value <> FirstCellWithValue.value
Counter = Counter + 1
Loop
ProcessSection = Counter
End Function
As a small disclaimer, I haven't tested this, let me know if there are problems.
