I'm getting a syntax error when I try to insert a formula in a cell using Macro. I can't seem to figure out what am I doing wrong? The formula works fine when I manually enter it. Here's my code:
ws3.Range("F2:F" & lastRow3).Formula = "=INDEX($L$1:INDEX(L:L,MATCH("ZZZ",D:D)),AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($K$1:INDEX(K:K,MATCH("ZZZ",D:D)))/($K$1:INDEX(K:K,MATCH("ZZZ",D:D))=D2),COUNTIF($D$1:$D2,D2)))"
ws3 is the worksheet, and lastRow3 is just to autofill the contents by comparing to a column to the left. Any ideas why this is giving an error?
FYI: This formula is finding values in one column from another column and giving the adjacent entries.
When filling a full range it is best to use R1C1 format.
Also with using vba to set the last row there is no reason for all the INDEX(L:L,MATCH("ZZZ",D:D)) to find the last row, since the code itself can set it directly.
Use this:
ws3.Range("F2:F" & lastRow3).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=INDEX(R1C12:R" & lastrow & "C12,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW(R1C11:R" & lastrow & "C11)/(R1C11:R" & lastrow & "C11=RC[-2]),COUNTIF(R1C4:RC4,RC[-2])))"

Good day.
I am trying to write a code that will essentially select cells (left to right) from "A - M" and (downwards) up until the last used row.
Then, once selected, I was to copy them to another workbook.
This is the code that I tried to use:
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:M" & LastRow).Copy _
Workbooks("Converter.xlsm").Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").CurrentRegion
Everything else in the code works except for this line.
And the result is this:
Run-time error '9':
Subscript out of range
Thanks.
PS. The "LastRow" Variable I used, I just pulled that out of a tutorial. That's not a personal user-defined variable, so I am not sure if that's actually from VBA's Documentation.
You mentioned you do not have a calculation for LastRow.
Always put Option Explicit at the top of your module. It forces you to declare your variables and will help you recognize if something you got from another coder is "built-in" or not.
See this post about determining the last row in a range.
From that post, you should have a calculation such as the following before your line of code ...
LastRow = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & Sheets("Sheet1").Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Please close all the workbooks and reopen and then try with below code
Sub test()
Dim lastrow As Long
lastrow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:M" & lastrow).Copy Workbooks("Converter.xlsm").Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
End Sub
I have an excel file. There is a changable row quantity for column A for every time and that's why I need to make dynamic formula. For example;
I want to write "=LEN(B1)" formula on B1. And when make double click on right down corner of the cell, it's going to the end of until when column A values ends. That's why, before all this process, I wrote "=COUNT(A:A)" on cell C1.
In my VBA, I want to write;
Dim TEMP As String
TEMP = Range("C1").Value
Range("B1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1="=+LEN(RC[-1])"
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("B1:TEMP")
But there is something wrong in this process. As a result, I just want to use a cell value in my VBA as a range or string or number.
Thanks for your support.
Two notes:
It's best practice to always qualify your objects (workbooks, worksheets, ranges, etc.) beforehand
When you use R1C1 notation, you can just write the formula directly to the range (with no need for AutoFill or FillDown)
Try this:
Dim ws as Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1") 'edit for your sheet name
Dim lRow as Long
lRow = ws.Range("A" & ws.Rows.count).End(xlup).Row
ws.Range("B1:B" & lRow).FormulaR1C1 = "=Len(RC[-1])"
And just as a side note worth mentioning the way you wrote Range("B1:TEMP") is not proper syntax. Correct syntax would be Range("B1:B" & TEMP), which, of course, would only work if TEMP was indeed a numerical value :)
In an attempt to take one of my rudimentary programs, and develop it more I am in need of help referencing last row references in Excel formulas as well as dragging formulas down consistently to the last row of a document.
To elaborate I am attempting to reference the last row in an ever expanding mapping table in my vlookup formula. The reason I need this is because as this mapping table expands when I am no longer coding this program, I need my vlookup formula which will be generated every time I run the program to adapt to the ever changing size.
Also my more pressing issue is in regard to taking that vlookup formula and being able to drag it down to the last row of a worksheet. The worksheet will be static and the last row will range anywhere from 70,000 rows to 90,000 rows. I am trying to avoid loops in this scenario as this will already be a very demanding formula and I would hate to loop through each row.
Currently my rudimentary code looks like this (this was built as a proof of concept, I understand the current method isn't the most ingenious but it served its initial purpose).
Ath.Cells(1, x) = "Business"
Ath.Cells(2, x).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(RC[1],Mapping!R2C4:R264C5,2,0),VLOOKUP(LEFT(RC[1],2),Mapping!R1C3:R264C5,3,0))"
Ath.Range("d2").Copy
Range("d2:d90000").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Calculate
I namely want to change this
Ath.Range("d2").Copy
Range("d2:d90000").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
and
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(RC[1],Mapping!R2C4:R264C5,2,0),VLOOKUP(LEFT(RC[1],2),Mapping!R1C3:R264C5,3,0))"
Perhaps these?
Ath.Range("d2").Copy
Range("d2:d" & Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Paste
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(RC[1],Mapping!R2C4:R" & Sheets("Mapping").Range(ActiveCell.Offset(Rows.Count, -1)).End(xlUp).Row & "C5,2,0),VLOOKUP(LEFT(RC[1],2),Mapping!R1C3:R" & Sheets("Mapping").Range(ActiveCell.Offset(Rows.Count, -1)).End(xlUp).Row & "C5,3,0))"
Combining Dans answer with work of my own I have developed a solution.
Sub Formulas()
Dim Map As Worksheet
Dim Ath As Worksheet
Dim last As Long
Set Ath = Sheets("Athena IBT TEST")
Set Map = Sheets("Mapping")
last = Map.Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(RC[1],Mapping!R1C1:R" & last & "C4,4,0),IFERROR(VLOOKUP(LEFT(RC[1],3),Mapping!R1C2:R" & last & "C4,3,0),VLOOKUP(LEFT(RC[1],3),Mapping!R1C3:R" & last & "C4,2,0)))"
End Sub
Is it possible to write formulas across a range in Excel from VB.Net? I'm using a String array to hold a list of formulas that I would like to apply to an Excel range, instead of looping through and writing them one at a time.
This line is what I am attempting to use to write to a range:
xlWorkSheet.Range("AF" & intCurrentRow.ToString & ":AG" & intCurrentRow.ToString).Formula = formulas
The formula is being written to Excel, but Excel is actually displaying the formula, instead of the calculated value. If I write each formula to each cell like this:
xlWorkSheet.Range("AF" & intCurrentRow.ToString).Formula = formulas(0)
xlWorkSheet.Range("AG" & intCurrentRow.ToString).Formula = formulas(1)
It works perfectly fine and Excel displays the calculated values as it should. Almost seems like I'm missing a step but I haven't been able to find anything in my research.
As soon as I hit post I figured out the problem. Instead of using the .Formula property of an Excel.Range, you have to use the .FormulaArray property instead.
xlWorkSheet.Range("AF" & intCurrentRow.ToString & ":AG" & intCurrentRow.ToString).FormulaArray = formulas
I'm having some trouble with VLOOKUP in my VBA. Here's an example of the code I'm using:
Sub Macro15()
'
' Macro15 Macro
Dim LR As Long
LR = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Range("B1:B" & LR).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-1],'https://internal_sharepoint_address
/[Vendor_Information.xlsx]Sheet1'!R3C3:R150C18,4,FALSE)"
Range("C1:C" & LR).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-2],'https://internal_sharepoint_address
/[Vendor_Information.xlsx]Sheet1'!R3C3:R150C18,5,FALSE)"
With Range("B1:C" & LR)
.Value = .Value
End With
End Sub
The problem is that the values in Columns B & C (the VLOOKUP formulas) return a value of #N/A.
However, if I stop the code before converting the formula to values (the "With Range("B1:C" & LR)" line), the VLOOKUP formula returns the correct values.
Also strange - if I clear the contents of Columns B & C and re-run the above code, the values return fine. If I try to add a second cycle to the VBA, however, it does NOT work.
Any wisdom that anyone can provide would be a huge help. I've been stuck on this for a long time, and I'm just at my wit's end.
Thanks all,
David
You'll probably need to add in a step that runs a calculation cycle before you try to replace with the value:
Application.Calculate
Edit from comment: I would imagine that retrieving lookup data from a linked workbook on a Sharepoint site would take awhile. Maybe add some delay loops? Can you make two separate macros (one ending with the formulas, and a second one starting at the Paste Values), and run them separately with a pause in between?
