Column 1 is in Sheet1 and column 2 is in Sheet2. If the value is not found , then highlight that cell. I am trying to do a vlookup comparing two columns. I think the Syntax is incorrect. Please see my code I was trying below:
Option Explicit
Sub VlookupColoums()
' declarations
Dim lookFor As Range
Dim srchRange As Range
Dim I As Long
Dim vtest As Variant
' start
Set lookFor = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A13").End(xlUp)
Set srchRange = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A2").End(xlUp)
vtest = Application.VLookup(lookFor.Rows.Count, srchRange.Rows.Count, 2, False)
' process
For I = 1 To lookFor.Rows.Count
If IsError(vtest) Then
srchRange.Interior.Color = 4
Else
Exit Sub
End If
Next I
End Sub
Assuming you have data on Sheet1!A1:A15 and Sheet2!A1:A10.
Also assuming you want to highlight unique cells (ones withouth at least one identical in the other list) on Sheet2.
Basically you want to format all the cells that if counted on the other list comes up with 0. The steps:
Select all the cells to be evaluated on Sheet2
Go to Home/Styles/Conditional Formatting
Select New Rule, then Use a formula to determine...
Enter this formula: =COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5,A1)=0
Click on the Format button, and set up a formatting for the unique cells
OK
Profit. :)

I have a spreadsheet w/30 or so columns. My goal is to filter the set based on 1 column and my approach was the specify a range being just that column and then filter that range. I do have autofilters on every column and when i specify a field:=1 excel picks the first column...whcih is outside of my range. So it's always trying to filter on column "A"...not column "U" as desired. Am i mis-understanding how to use this field? i though it was an offset w/in a range.
here's a simple example
Dim r As Range
Dim sheet As Worksheet
Set sheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("test")
sheet.Range("u1:u9").AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="Will"
as an aside...is there a way to get a column number associated with the column letter? for example U --> 21. if so i could select the entire spreadsheet as the range and do an offset of 21
If you are applying filters to one column, you will have to clear the existing filters first.
Your tweaked code would be something like this and it will apply the filter to column U only...
Sub test()
Dim r As Range
Dim sheet As Worksheet
Set sheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("test")
sheet.AutoFilterMode = False
sheet.Range("u1:u9").AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="Will"
End Sub
OR
You may also apply the filters to all the columns and specify the field criteria correctly.
Give this a try...
Sub test2()
Dim r As Range
Dim sheet As Worksheet
Set sheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("test")
Set r = sheet.Range("U1")
sheet.AutoFilterMode = False
sheet.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.AutoFilter field:=r.Column, Criteria1:="Will"
End Sub
I regularly work with data spanning multiple columns and need a convenient way to highlight multiple rows that contain the same value in a specific column, but I need to alternate between highlighted and non-highlighted.
For example, I'll have several rows with data in Column A like:
700105862
700105862
700105862
700103235
700103235
700108783
700108783
700108783
And what I'd want to do is highlight the first three rows (700105862), then not highlight 700103235, then again, highlight 700108783.
I was wondering if there was a conditional formatting formula that'd make this possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
if your numbers are divided into chunks of always different numbers repetitions, then you could use this VBA code:
Sub main()
Dim item As Variant
Dim startRow As Long
Dim okHighlight As Boolean
With Range("A1", Cells(Rows.count, 1).End(xlUp))
For Each item In GetUniqueValues(.Cells).Items
If okHighlight Then .Range(.Cells(startRow, 1), .Cells(item, 1)).Interior.ColorIndex = 48
startRow = item + 1
okHighlight = Not okHighlight
Next
End With
End Sub
Function GetUniqueValues(rng As Range) As Dictionary
Dim cell As Range
Dim dict As Dictionary
Set dict = New Dictionary
With dict
For Each cell In rng
.item(cell.Value) = cell.row - rng.Rows(1).row + 1
Next
End With
Set GetUniqueValues = dict
End Function
a Conditional formatting approach is possible on with a helper column
assuming:
your data are in column A and begin from row 2
column B is free
then:
write the following formula in helper column B cells:
=IF(A2<>A1,B1+1,0)
apply conditional formatting to column A with the following formula:
=INT(B2/2)=B2/2
and choosing the format you like to highlight cells
Sure, if you know what ranges you want to highlight you'd simply set the conditional formatting to be between x and y values. Comment on this question with what you dont get and I'll amend the answer accordingly.
I would like to get datas from sheet 1 to sheet 2 with reference to the column headings With VBA.
For example:(EXCEL file)
So if I want to find the sum of fun1 person A with criteria 1 the command have to go and find the heading “sum of fun 1” in sheet 1 and choose the datas that are only under criteria 1 and sum it up in sheet 2 cell D5. (By using column heading reference instead of cell reference. The table range is A2 : U80. thanks.
Public Sub Match()
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("Sheet2!B3") = Application.Sum(Application.Index(Range("A:G"), 0, Application.Match("Crit1" & "Fun1personA", Range("A2:G2"), 0)))
End Sub
I have tried it codes but it failed. i know that i havnt include the Row reference for crit1 , but iam not sure how to apply that to the formula.
Can anyone help me with this ? Thanks in advance
You could do it with a formula.
I'll assume that the table in your example covers the range A1:E10.
First we'll need to find the correct column using a MATCH formula:
=MATCH("Fun2PersonA",$1:$1,0) - this will return 3 as Fun2PersonA is in column C.
Next we need to know how many rows are in the table. Assuming the criteria in column A has no blanks except cell A1 we can use COUNTA:
=COUNTA($A:$A)+1 - this will return 10.
The above two formula will be used a few times within the final result, so will probably be easier to use helper cells to store the results (I'll just call them ColumnRef and LastRowRef for readability rather than actual cell references).
Now to set a reference to the first cell and last cell in column C.
=INDEX($1:$1,,ColumnRef) will reference the header, while =INDEX($1:$1048576,RowRef,ColumnRef) will reference the last cell.
As these can be used as references and not just values =SUM(INDEX($1:$1,,ColumnRef):INDEX($1:$1048576,RowRef,ColumnRef)) will sum everything in that column. It's the same as writing =SUM(C1:C10).
But you want to use SUMIF, so we need to reference the criteria in column A as well.
=INDEX($A:$A,RowRef) will reference the last cell in column A, so $A$1:INDEX($A:$A,RowRef) will reference all values in column A.
Final Formula:
The final step is to stick it all together into your final formula:
=SUMIF($A$1:INDEX($A:$A,RowRef),"Crit1",INDEX($1:$1,,ColumnRef):INDEX($1:$1048576,RowRef,ColumnRef))
This is the same as writing =SUMIF($A$1:$A$10,"Crit1",$C$1:$C$10)
For a VBA solution:
Public Function SumCriteria(FunPerson As String, Criteria As String) As Double
Dim rTable As Range
Dim rCol As Range
Dim rCriteria As Range
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim LastCol As Long
'Update Sheet1 to the sheet name with your table.
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
'You may have to change how to find the last row/column depending
'on any extra data on the sheet.
LastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
LastCol = .Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
Set rTable = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(LastRow, LastCol))
'EDIT: You could set your table as below if it's a static size.
'Set rTable = .Range("A2:U80")
'The first statement finds the FunPerson heading
Set rCol = rTable.Rows(1).Find(What:=FunPerson, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
If Not rCol Is Nothing Then
SumCriteria = Application.WorksheetFunction.SumIf(rTable.Columns(1), Criteria, rTable.Columns(rCol.Column))
Else
SumCriteria = CVErr(xlErrValue)
End If
End With
End Function
This method looks at column A and row 1 to get the dimensions of the table and then uses SUMIF to count the figures.
You can use it as a worksheet formula: =SumCriteria("Fun1PersonA","Crit1")
or within VBA:
Public Sub Test()
Dim a As Double
a = SumCriteria("Fun1PersonA", "Crit1")
End Sub
I have two worksheets I'm working with with long serial numbers as the cell values. One sheet (Sheet1) has a list of each individual serial number hyperlinked to a webpage referring to that item. This list ranges from A1:A31.
The second sheet (Sheet2) has a massive list of those same serial numbers, but in range G1:G102. The difference is that this list is not hyperlinked, and the serial numbers sometimes show up multiple times. There are also some areas where a cell is blank, so it splits up the continuous column of data.
I would essentially like to write a macro that takes the first list in Sheet1, and for each cell, it compares it to each cell in Sheet2 column G. Then, if the values match, I would like to copy the hyperlinked cell from Sheet 1 and paste it to that cell with the same value in Sheet2. Therefore, Sheet2 column G now has a fully populated list of hyperlinked serial numbers.
Can anyone help me with this? This is what I have so far...doesn't seem to work:
Sub CopyHyperlinks()
Dim cell As Excel.Range
Dim myRange As Excel.Range
Dim newRange As Excel.Range
Set myRange = Excel.ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Contents").Range("A1:A31")
Set newRange = Excel.ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("G1:G102")
For Each cell In myRange
If myRange.Cells.Value = newRange.Cells.Value Then newRange.Cells.Value = myRange.Cells.Value
Next cell
End Sub'
See this little function. Put this:
Function GetHyperLinkAddress(rng As Range) As String
Dim hl As Hyperlink
For Each hl In rng.Parent.Hyperlinks
If hl.Range.Address = rng.Address Then
GetHyperLinkAddress = hl.Address
Exit Function
End If
Next hl
GetHyperLinkAddress = "Not Found"
End Function
in a module. In the Spreadsheet, add
=GetHyperLinkAddress(Cell#)
Next to the cells with the hyperlink. You could then just use a vlookup to match.
I have an XL file with some data to be manipulated. I think I will need to use a VB script to do this - but perhaps there is a simpler way with a formula. Just the same, could someone point out BOTH ways of achieving the following?
I have a column of numeric values (ID) in Sheet 1.
I want to use each ID as an index to lookup a list in Sheet 2.
Sheet 2 has two columns
First column is the index and Second column is the Text String
e.g.
1 Apple
2 Orange
3 Pear
What I want is to replace the column of IDs in sheet 1 with the looked up text string from Sheet 2!
Thats all...
Please help!
Not a tough situation there. Here are some solutions...
With VBA:
I know you said you're a little new with VB so I tried to explain each line as I went along. Also, the code is free-handed so forgive me if I left an error in there somewhere.
Sub replaceData()
dim i as integer, j as integer 'These are just some variables we'll use later.
dim sheetOne as worksheet, sheetTwo as worksheet, myWb as workbook
dim myData as string, myId as string
set myWB = excel.activeworkbook 'These three lines set your workbook/sheet variables.
set sheetOne = myWB.worksheets("Old Data")
set sheetTwo = myWB.worksheets("New Data")
for i = 1 to sheetTwo.usedrange.rows.count 'This loops through the rows on your second sheet.
myId = sheetTwo.cells(i,1).value 'This assigns the value for your id and the data on your second sheet.
myData = sheetTwo.cells(i,2).value
for j = 1 to sheetOne.usedrange.rows.count 'This loops through the rows on your first sheet.
if sheetOne.cells(j,1).value = myId then 'This checks each row for a matching id value.
sheetOne.cells(j,1).value = myData 'This replaces that id with the data we got from the second sheet.
end if
next j
next i
end sub
With an Excel formula:
Place the following formula in cell C1 of the first worksheet (the
sheet with the IDs you will be replacing). **Note that you will
have to replace the "InsertSheetTwoNameHere" portion with the name
of your second sheet (don't remove those single quotes though). Also
note you will need to replace the "1000" with the number of the last
used row in sheet two.
=vlookup(A1,’InsertSheetTwoNameHere’!$A$1:$B$1000,2,FALSE)
Next simply drag the handle on the cell that makes it copy itself
(whatever the heck it's called) all the way down to the end of your
range.
Next, copy those cells and then paste them over the IDs using the
Values Only setting.
Hope this helps and good luck.
