Writing a loop in Excel for Visual Basic - vba

How do i write the following code as a loop. I want to copy values from a table in sheet 4 in a row from range (b:17:L17"). is there a more efficient way to do it with loops ?
ActiveSheet.Range("B17").Value = Sheets(4).Range("G8")
ActiveSheet.Range("C17").Value = Sheets(4).Range("G9")
ActiveSheet.Range("D17").Value = Sheets(4).Range("G10")
ActiveSheet.Range("E17").Value = Sheets(4).Range("G11")
ActiveSheet.Range("F17").Value = Sheets(4).Range("G12")
ActiveSheet.Range("G17").Value = Sheets(4).Range("G13")
ActiveSheet.Range("H17").Value = Sheets(4).Range("G14")
ActiveSheet.Range("I17").Value = Sheets(4).Range("G15")
ActiveSheet.Range("J17").Value = Sheets(4).Range("G16")
ActiveSheet.Range("K17").Value = Sheets(4).Range("G17")
ActiveSheet.Range("L17").Value = Sheets(4).Range("G18")

Yes, there is:
ActiveSheet.Range("B17:L17").Value = Application.Transpose(Sheets(4).Range("G8:G18").Value)

You can, using something like this (VB.Net, but may copy easily to VBA):
Dim cell as Integer, c as Integer
cell = 8
For c = 66 To 76
ActiveSheet.Range(Chr(c) & "17").Value = Sheets(4).Range("G" & cell)
cell = cell + 1
Next
The Chr() function gets the character associated with the character code (66-76), and then this value is concatenated with the string "17" to form a complete cell name ("B17", "C17", ...)
I am also incrementing the cell number for G at the same time.
Use this if you really want to use a loop - but there could be better ways, like the answer given by #A.S.H

Solution explanation:
Establish your rules! What is changing in the range for active sheet? The column is going to grow as the for/to cycle does! So, we should sum that to it. What is the another thing that is going to increment? The Range in the other side of the '=' so, by setting an algorithm, we may say that the row is const in the Activesheet range and the column is the on variable on the other side.
Solution:
Sub Test()
Const TotalInteractions As Long = 11
Dim CounterInteractions As Long
For CounterInteractions = 1 To TotalInteractions
'where 1 is column A so when it starts the cycle would be B,C and so on
'where 7 is the row to start so when it begins it would became 8,9 and so on for column G
ActiveSheet.Cells(17, 1 + CounterInteractions).Value = Sheets(4).Cells(7 + CounterInteractions, 7)
Next CounterInteractions
End Sub

This is probably your most efficient solution in a with statement:
Sub LoopExample()
Sheets("Sheet4").Range("G8:G18").Copy
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B17").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, Transpose:=True
End Sub

Excel VBA - Nested loop to format excel table columns

I have a macro that so far, adds 4 new table columns to an existing table ("Table1"). Now, I would like the macro to format the 3rd and 4th row as percentage. I would like to include this in the loop already listed in my code. I have tried several different ways to do this. I don't think I quite understand how the UBound function works, but hopefully you can understand what I am trying to do.
I also am unsure if I am allowed to continue to utilize the WITH statement in my nested For loop in regards to me 'lst' variable.
#Jeeped - I'm looking at you for this one again...thanks for basically walking me through this whole project lol
Sub attStatPivInsertTableColumns_2()
Dim lst As ListObject
Dim currentSht As Worksheet
Dim colNames As Variant, r1c1s As Variant
Dim h As Integer, i As Integer
Set currentSht = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Set lst = ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1")
colNames = Array("AHT", "Target AHT", "Transfers", "Target Transfers")
r1c1s = Array("=([#[Inbound Talk Time (Seconds)]]+[#[Inbound Hold Time (Seconds)]]+[#[Inbound Wrap Time (Seconds)]])/[#[Calls Handled]]", "=350", "=[#[Call Transfers and/or Conferences]]/[#[Calls Handled]]", "=0.15")
With lst
For h = LBound(colNames) To UBound(r1c1s)
.ListColumns.Add
.ListColumns(.ListColumns.Count).Name = colNames(h)
.ListColumns(.ListColumns.Count).DataBodyRange.FormulaR1C1 = r1c1s(h)
If UBound(colNames(h)) = 2 or UBound(colNames(h)) = 3 Then
For i = UBound(colNames(h), 2) To UBound(colNames(h), 3)
.ListColumns(.ListColumns.Count).NumberFormat = "0%"
End if
Next i
Next h
End With
End Sub
You don't need to nest a second for loop. If you want to set the 3rd and 4th columns to a percentage, you only need to set that when the iteration of the loop (h) is 2 or 3 (remembering that arrays index from 0). You also shouldn't cross arrays for the main loop, and since LBound is in most cases 0 you might as well just use that anyway. Try this:
With lst
For h = 0 To UBound(r1c1s)
.ListColumns.Add
.ListColumns(.ListColumns.Count).Name = colNames(h)
.ListColumns(.ListColumns.Count).DataBodyRange.FormulaR1C1 = r1c1s(h)
If h = 2 or h = 3 Then
.ListColumns(.ListColumns.Count).NumberFormat = "0%"
End if
Next h
End With
To answer the other point in your question, UBound(array) just gives the index of the largest element (the Upper BOUNDary) in the given array. So where you have 50 elements in such an array, UBound(array) will return 49 (zero based as mentioned before). LBound just gives the other end of the array (the Lower BOUNDary), which is generally zero.

Copy relative formula in excel with VBA

I'm trying to copy formulas with relative row and column names.
I have base column with 10 formulas and I'm trying to copy formula 5 times on columns on the right.
So for example in base column i have this formula
=A1+B1 and i want to make next cell this =B1+C1 next =C1+D1 and so on.
I have this code
For i = 1 To Range("B1").Value
For j = 1 To 10
Sheet2.Cells(5 + j, 2 + i).FormulaR1C1 = "=c[-1]"
Next j
Next i
But this just copies value from left cell
It would be easy if the formulas were same but they are different. So im trying to find a way to dynamically reference always left cell.
This is one of the real formulas
='Balance sheet'!B13*360/'P&L'!B2
I want next cell to be
='Balance sheet'!C13*360/'P&L'!C2
And with code i have now next cell is =B3
If you want to copy a formula to right, that can be done with a fill operation. So with your formula in a cell defined by your base row and base column, and with it using relative addressing as in your question, merely:
Option Explicit
Sub foo()
Const lBaseColumn As Long = 3
Const lBaseRow As Long = 6
Const lRpts As Long = 10
Cells(lBaseRow, lBaseColumn).Resize(columnsize:=lRpts).FillRight
End Sub
You should note that you can FillRight from multiple rows at once, if that is what you need to do. The below would fill C6:C10 through to L6:L10
Option Explicit
Sub foo()
Const lBaseColumn As Long = 3
Const lBaseRow As Long = 6
Const lColRpts As Long = 10
Const lRows As Long = 5
Cells(lBaseRow, lBaseColumn).Resize(rowsize:=lRows, columnsize:=lColRpts).FillRight
End Sub
these two lines will copy formula / contents from left cell and copy in the reference cell. this will also copy the formula with relative reference
Range(refCellID).Offset(0,-1).Copy
Range(refCellID).PasteSpecial

Excel range subtraction, overlooking errors in some cells possible?

I am having trouble figuring out how to subtract two ranges from each other, some cells in range H:H have "#N/A" while in range D:D there are no errors. I know in Excel it's a simple "=H2-D2" and drag that down but I'm in the process of recording a Macro and wanted to automate the subtraction as well. So far this is what I have:
Dim quantity1, quantity2, rIntersect, Qdiff, x As Range
Set quantity1 = Range("D:D")
Set quantity2 = Range("H:H")
Set rIntersect = Intersect(quantity1, quantity2)
For Each x In quantity1
If Intersect(rIntersect, x) Is Nothing Then
If Qdiff Is Nothing Then
Set Qdiff = x
Else
Set Qdiff = Application.Union(Qdiff, x)
End If
End If
Next x
Range("J2").Select
Dim lastRowJ As Long
lastRowJ = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("J2").AutoFill Destination:=Range("J2:J" & lastRowJ)
Place this procedure in a standard code module:
Public Sub Subtract()
[j2:j99] = [h2:h99-d2:d99]
End Sub
If you like how that works, I'm happy to embellish it so that it is not hard-coded for 98 rows only. Let me know.
UPDATE
Here is a version that will deal with any number of rows. It keys off of column D. So if there are 567 numbers in column D, then you will get 567 corresponding (subtracted) results in column J.
This assumes that the data start in row 2, and that there are no blank cells until the numbers in column D end.
If you are going to call this from the Macro Dialog then you should keep it Public. If on the other hand you are going to call it from another procedure in the same module, then you can make it Private.
Here is the enhanced solution:
Public Sub Subtract()
Dim k&
Const F = "iferror(h2:h[]-d2:d[],0)"
k = [count(d:d)]
[j2].Resize(k) = Evaluate(Replace(F, "[]", k + 1))
End Sub
Note that the routine now handles the errors and places a ZERO value in column J when the corresponding value in column H is an error. If you would prefer to have something other than a ZERO (like a blank for instance) when there are errors in column H, just let me know and I'll update to whatever you want.
UPDATE 2
Here is how to handle displaying blanks instead of zeroes:
Public Sub Subtract()
Dim k&
Const F = "iferror(if(h2:h[]-d2:d[]=0,"""",h2:h[]-d2:d[]),0)"
k = [count(d:d)]
[k2].Resize(k) = Evaluate(Replace(F, "[]", k + 1))
End Sub

Create new worksheet based on text in coloured cells, and copy data into new worksheet

I have a large data set which I need to manipulate and create individual worksheets. Within column B all cells which are coloured Green I would like to make a new worksheet for. Please see screen shot.
For example I would like to create worksheets titled "Shopping" & "Retail". Once the worksheet is created, I would then like to copy all the data between the "worksheet title" (Green Cells) from columns ("B:C") & ("AI:BH") Please see screen shot below for expected output;
The code I have so far is below as you can see it is not complete as I do not know how I would go about extracting data between the "Green Cells".
Sub wrksheetadd()
Dim r As Range
Dim i As Long
Dim LR As Long
Worksheets("RING Phased").Select
LR = Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row
Set r = Range("B12:B" & (LR))
For i = r.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
With r.Cells(i, 1)
If .DisplayFormat.Interior.ColorIndex = 35 Then
MsgBox i
Worksheets.Add(After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = Cells (i,1).Value
Worksheets("RING Phased").Select
End If
End With
Next i
End Sub
Any help around this would be much appreciated.
Sorry for taking a while to get back to this, I've been somewhat busy the last few days, so I haven't had much time to be on StackOverflow.
Anyway, the way I'd go about this would be to store all the found values in an array, and then loop through that array in order to find the distance between them.
The following code works for me, using some very simplified data, but I think the principle is sound:
Option Explicit
Option Base 0
Sub wrksheetadd()
Dim r As Range, c As Range
Dim i As Long: i = 0
Dim cells_with_color() As Range: ReDim cells_with_color(1)
With Worksheets("RING Phased")
' Since it doesn't seem like the first cell you want to copy from is colored, hardcode that location here.
' This also saves us from having to test if the array is empty later.
Set cells_with_color(i) = .Range("B12")
i = i + 1
Set r = Range(.Range("B13"), .Range("B" & .Cells.Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
' Put all the cells with color in the defined range into the array
For Each c In r
If c.DisplayFormat.Interior.ColorIndex = 35 Then
If i > UBound(cells_with_color) Then
ReDim Preserve cells_with_color(UBound(cells_with_color) + 1)
End If
Set cells_with_color(i) = c
i = i + 1
End If
Next
' Loop through the array, and copy from the previous range value to the current one into a new worksheet
' Reset counter first, we start at 1, since the first range-value (0 in the array) is just the start of where we started checking from
' (Hmm, reusing variables may be bad practice >_>)
i = 1
While i <= UBound(cells_with_color)
Worksheets.Add(After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = cells_with_color(i).Value
' Set the range to copy - we could just do this in the copy-statement, but hopefully this makes it slightly easier to read
Set r = .Rows(CStr(cells_with_color(i - 1).Row) + 1 & ":" & CStr(cells_with_color(i).Row))
' Change the destination to whereever you want it on the new sheet. I think it has to be in column one, though, since we copy entire rows.
' If you want to refine it a bit, just change whatever you set r to in the previous statement.
r.Copy Destination:=Worksheets(CStr(cells_with_color(i).Value)).Range("A1")
i = i + 1
Wend
End With
End Sub
It probably lacks some error-checking which ought to be in there, but I'll leave that as an exercise to you to figure out. I believe it is functional. Good luck!

Delete entire row when a value exist (With sheets) [duplicate]

I have 2 sheets: sheet1 and sheet2. I have a value in cell A3 (sheet1) which is not constant. And many files in sheets2.
What I would like to do, is when the value in cell A3 (Sheet1) is the same as the value in the column A (Sheet2), it will delete the entire row where is find this value (Sheet2).
This is my attempt. It doesn't work: no rows are deleted.
If Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A3").Text = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A:A").Text Then
Dim f As String
f = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A3")
Set c = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A:A").Find(f)
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range(c.Address()).EntireRow.Delete
End If
My guess is that you're not finding anything with the .Find(). Since you're not checking it for is Nothing you don't know. Also, .Find() retains all the search parameters set from the last time you did a search - either via code or by hand in your spreadsheet. While only the What parameter is required, it's always worth setting the most critical parameters (noted below) for it, you may want to set them all to ensure you know exactly how you're searching.
Dim f As String
If Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A3").Text = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A:A").Text Then
f = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A3")
Set c = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A:A").Find(What:=f, Match:=[Part|Whole], _
LookIn:=[Formula|value])
if not c is Nothing then
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range(c.Address()).EntireRow.Delete
else
MsgBox("Nothing found")
End If
End If
Go look at the MS docs to see what all the parameters and their enumerations are.
Sub Test()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For x = 1 To Rows.Count
If ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2").Cells(x, 1).Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(3, 1).Value Then ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2").Cells(x, 1).EntireRow.Delete
Next x
