I have a farily large database of around 2000 people, sheet1 has all of their names and relevant details. Sheet 2 has data pulled on from a site. I would like the data from sheet 2 to auto populate the cells in Sheet 1. Also if the person does not exist in sheet1 to highlight the data it couldnt do. I am so stuck on this.
Sub dup()
Dim cell As Range, cella As Range, rng As Range, srng As Range
Set rng2 = Sheets(2).Range("A2:E2000")
Set rng3 = Sheets(3).Range("A2:E29000")
For Each cell In rng2
For Each cella In rng3
If cella = cell Then
cella.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
' cella.AddComment.Text Text:="duplicate value"
End If
Next cella
Next cell
Set rng2 = Sheets(2).Range("T2:Y2000")
Set rng4 = Sheets(4).Range("A1:F2000")
For Each cell In rng2
For Each cella In rng4
If cella = cell Then
cella.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
' cella.AddComment.Text Text:="duplicate value"
End If
Next cella
Next cell
End Sub
Its hard for me to show as it has a lot of columns not sure how on earth i can show you what im trying to do? :(
Try https://filetea.me/t1sfGPWECvdQqmgVDGtXL4oRQ
Maybe, if you want to do it without vba, you could use the LOOKUP function in the sheet 1's auto populate column. It works like that:
=LOOKUP(sheet1!A2, sheet2!table[a], sheet2!table[b])
This will find the value in the column "b" of the table in sheet2 based on the values of column "a". This will chose the value in the same row were column "a" matches the value in sheet1's A column. Let me know if I wasn't clear enough here.
Then you can use Conditional Formatting rules for the highlight you said. I suggest the COUNTIF function, that will return 0 if no matching value is found in the specified range.
=COUNTIF(A2:A5,A4)
This, for example, cont values in A2:A5 that matches the values in A4.
Also, you will find the conditional formatting tools in the home tab, if you are using excel 2016.

I am trying to autofill an equation only one column to the right of the active row and am having trouble. For example, there is an equation in I5, I want to have a macro that will auto fill J5 and only J5.
Thanks,
Becca
My deduction from your limited data is that you need the below solution. (Please do reply with details if you need more functionality than this.)
Public Sub FormulaPopulation()
Dim rng1 As Range
Dim rng2 As Range
Set rng1 = Sheet1.Range("J2") ' Have assumed over here that the formula that you need autofilled is in "J2" which is an unrelated cell
Set rng2 = Sheet1.Range("J5") ' Then since you only need this cell filled we take this cell.
rng2.Formula = rng1.Formula ' Finally it is formula matched, rather than Autofilling. Much faster than autofill.
End Sub
So I have several worksheets on the same Excel workbook that I need to compare. Worksheet 1 is the masterlist, and I need to compare worksheets 1-2, 1-3, 1-4. I then need to paste any similar 1-2 data cells in column A of worksheet 5, and similar 1-3 data cells in column B of worksheet 5, and 1-4 similarities to column C of worksheet 5. For starters I have focused on getting the 1-2 comparison to work. So far I have been able to get my test number to be pasted to cell A1 of sheet 5. I am running into trouble because it only works for 1 cell, and I cannot get the program to paste a similarity in A1, and then A2... etc, when I have multiple similar items. They just overwrite each other in cell A1, or in the entire A column. I am also running into trouble because the program as it is written stops when it hits a blank space, but I need it to just skip the blanks and read the next cell when it comes across them. This is because my data sheets are very messy and the data is scattered over several thousands of rows among several different columns, with spaces randomly interjected. Below is my working code for just reading a similarity, and pasting it into A1. I should note that I have considered adding a specific cell range depending on which sheet I am on in order to put an end point on the program, but I haven't quite figured out how to work it in.
Sub findDuplicates()
' code to find duplicates in 2 different worksheets
Dim rng1, rng2, rngA, cell1, cell2 As Range
' 4 ranges have been defined
Set rng1 = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C:C")
'rng1 defines the existing data in column C and worksheet1
Set rng2 = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("C:C")
'rng2 defines the data in column C and worksheet2
Set rngA = Sheets("Sheet5").Range("A1")
For Each cell1 In rng1
If IsEmpty(cell1.Value) Then Exit For
'check for empty rows. If true then exit the program
For Each cell2 In rng2
If IsEmpty(cell2.Value) Then Exit For
If cell1.Value = cell2.Value Then
'compare data in cell1 and cell2 and then copy/paste if they have equal values
cell1.Copy
Sheets("Sheet5").Select
rngA.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
'run the looping process
Next cell2
Next cell1
End Sub
The general idea of what I imagine the program to look like would be something like
Define ranges
Block of code that runs through each cell in sheet 1 comparing it to all cells in sheet 2.
Block of code that, when similarities are found, copy/paste that cell on sheet 1 to sheet 5 column A
*Program resumes scan from the next cell on sheet 1*
Block of code that breaks the program when it hits the end of the specified cell range
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! You would be saving me at least a week's worth of mindless work.
A few comments about your code:
Dim rng1, rng2, rngA, cell1, cell2 As Range means only cell2 is defined As Range, while rng1, rng2, rngA, cell1 defined As Variant
You don't need to have 2 For loops to compare, you can replace the second For loop with the Match function, it will save you precious run-time.
You need to find the next empty row in "Sheet5", by using NextRow = Sheets("Sheet5").Cells(Sheets("Sheet5").Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
Last, you don't need to Select the sheets in order to copy>>paste, you can so it in 1-line (see in my code below).
Code
Sub findDuplicates()
' code to find duplicates in 2 different worksheets
' 4 ranges have been defined
Dim rng1 As Range, rng2 As Range, rngA As Range, cell1 As Range, cell2 As Range
Dim NextRow As Long
'rng1 defines the existing data in column C and "Sheet1"
Set rng1 = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C:C")
'rng2 defines the data in column C and "Sheet2"
Set rng2 = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("C:C")
Set rngA = Sheets("Sheet5").Range("A1")
For Each cell1 In rng1
If Not IsEmpty(cell1.Value) Then ' only check non-empty cells
If Not IsError(Application.Match(cell1.Value, rng2 , 0)) Then ' <-- confirm match was asuccessful
' find next empty row in column "A" in "Sheet5"
NextRow = Sheets("Sheet5").Cells(Sheets("Sheet5").Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
' Copy >> Paste in 1 line (without need to Select the Sheets)
cell1.Copy Destination:=Sheets("Sheet5").Range("A" & NextRow)
End If
'run the looping process
End If
Next cell1
End Sub
Your problem is that rngA points to A1 and nothing changes that.
Add one line after your paste command:
ActiveSheet.Paste
Set rngA = rngA.Offset(1,0) ' This will move the pasting location one step down
I am trying to collate values from multiple spread sheets I am given. Unfortunately the fields I am interested in are never in the same location, and can have any number of blank cells in between the value I want and the corresponding reference number (that identifies it as the number I want). They are always in the same row as each other though.
For example, I need to find all values that relate to '1. Number of people'. In worksheet 1 '1. Number of people' is in cell B2 and the value is in cell B6. In worksheet 2 these are in C4 and C7 respectively.
I am using 'find' to assign the location of '1. Number of people' to a range, but getting stuck after that.
I think I need to activate that cell, then offset until I find the next non blank cell and select that to copy, but can't work out how to do this.
So far all I have is:
Dim rgFound As Range
Set rgFound = Range("A1:E6").Find("1.Number of people", lookat:=xlWhole)
You can see I have not got very far!
Thanks in advance.
Give this a shot.
Dim rgFound As Range
Set rgFound = Range("A1:E6").Find("1.Number of people", lookat:=xlWhole)
Dim rgValue as Range
If Not rgFound is Nothing Then
If Len(rgFound.Offset(1)) Then 'if the very next row is the next non-blank cell
Set rgValue = rgFound.Offset(1)
Else 'if blanks appear between found and value
Set rgValue = rgFound.End(xlDown)
End If
End If
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,"")
I have already created a VBA script that is about 160 lines long, which produces the report that you see below.
Without using cell references (because the date ranges will change each time I run this) I now need to take the users ID, name, total hours, total break, overtime 1, and overtime 2 and copy this data into sheet 2.
Any suggestions as to how I can structure a VBA script to search row B until a blank is found, when a blank is found, copy the values from column J, K, L, M on that row, and on the row above copy value C - now paste these values on sheet 2. - Continue this process until you find two consecutive blanks or the end of the data...
Even if you can suggest a different way to tackle this problem than the logic I have assumed above it would be greatly appreciated. I can share the whole code if you are interested and show you the data I began with.
Thank you in advance,
J
As discussed, here's my approach. All the details are in the code's comments so make sure you read them.
Sub GetUserNameTotals()
Dim ShTarget As Worksheet: Set ShTarget = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Dim ShPaste As Worksheet: Set ShPaste = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2")
Dim RngTarget As Range: Set RngTarget = ShTarget.UsedRange
Dim RngTargetVisible As Range, CellRef As Range, ColRef As Range, RngNames As Range
Dim ColIDIndex As Long: ColIDIndex = Application.Match("ID", RngTarget.Rows(1), 0)
Dim LRow As Long: LRow = RngTarget.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row
'Turn off AutoFilter to avoid errors.
ShTarget.AutoFilterMode = False
'Logic: Apply filter on the UserName column, selecting blanks. We then get two essential ranges.
'RngTargetVisible is the visible range of stats. ColRef is the visible first column of stats.
With RngTarget
.AutoFilter Field:=ColIDIndex, Criteria1:="=", Operator:=xlFilterValues, VisibleDropDown:=True
Set RngTargetVisible = .Range("J2:M" & LRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
Set ColRef = .Range("J2:J" & LRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
End With
'Logic: For each cell in the first column of stats, let's get its offset one cell above
'and 7 cells to the left. This method is not necessary. Simply assigning ColRef to Column C's
'visible cells and changing below to CellRef.Offset(-1,0) is alright. I chose this way so it's
'easier to visualize the approach. RngNames is a consolidation of the cells with ranges, which we'll
'copy first before the stats.
For Each CellRef In ColRef
If RngNames Is Nothing Then
Set RngNames = CellRef.Offset(-1, -7)
Else
Set RngNames = Union(RngNames, CellRef.Offset(-1, -7))
End If
Next CellRef
'Copy the names first, then RngTargetVisible, which are the total stats. Copying headers is up
'to you. Of course, modify as necessary.
RngNames.Copy ShPaste.Range("A1")
RngTargetVisible.Copy ShPaste.Range("B1")
End Sub
