I wrote a macro for ExcelVBA that is extremely simple. It essentially copies the entire section of the sheet over, and then adds 4 to the cell selected by the user.
My challenge is with the end - I want to highlight the cell I added 4 to.
I select the cell and paste in the value:
With Progression.Cells(CatSearch, CurrentColumn)
.Value = LF
.Interior.ColorIndex = 37
End With
Problem is that it changes the value of the cell, but not the color.
Interesting point is that it works in break mode, but not when I run the entire macro.

I have two sheets "Data" - which has raw data and "Report" - as Report form .
Report sheet first 5 rows has info.
Data Sheet there 6 columns of Data available (SlNo Name Desig Place gender Category)
Report sheet has first 5 columns only (SlNo Name Desig Place gender)
Report sheet range C5 is dropdown box (List from Category column of Data sheet).
So based on this C5 value get details from Data sheet and paste in Report sheet.
I tried the following code but it pastes the whole row when I want to paste only Name,Desig,Place,gender details in offset and loop...
Sub ViewBtn()
Dim SCHL As String
Dim x As Long
x = 2
Do While Cells(x, 1) <> ""
Sheets("Report").Range(Cells(x, 1).Address, Cells(x, 5).Address).ClearContents
x = x + 1
Loop
Dim id As String
id = ActiveSheet.Range("C5").Value
x = 2
Sheets("Data").Select
Category = id
Do While Cells(x, 1) <> ""
If Cells(x, 4) = Category Then
Worksheets("Data").Rows(x).Copy
Worksheets("Report").Activate
erow = Sheets("Report").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
ActiveSheet.Paste Destination:=Worksheets("Report").Rows(erow)
End If
Worksheets("Data").Activate
x = x + 1
Loop
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Worksheets("Report").Activate
End Sub
Here is some sample code to do what I think you are asking for. It is not necessarily the shortest or cleverest way to do it, but everything is done step by step so I hope it is clear enough to follow easily.

This is my code I have 2 problems.
The code all works fine but it needs to check if the cell that it is about to write to in "Allocation" holds the value "X1" or "X" if it does then it needs to go to the next person in the list, the peoples names are held in column A. I have solved this bit myself so it is just the last question I need help with now
Each time the loop starts the program needs to check who the last person to be allocated was and start the next allocation from the next persons name in the list of names. If it would help I could post the whole workbook so you can see what it is all doing but you would have to tell me how to do it as I can't seem to find a way of attaching a file. Thank you for looking and any help that may be offered

The Situation:
On the Cell "A1" I have the value "1"
On the Cell "A10" I have the value "2"
On the Cell "A20" I have the value "3"
On the Cell "A30" I have the value "4"
What I want to do with Excel VBA:
Between A1 and A10 there are empty cells. I want that A2:A9 is filled with the value of A10, that means "2".
Between A10 and A20 there are empty cells. I want that A11:19 is filled with the value of A20, that means "3".
The problem is, the range A1 to A30 is not fixed. I want to search the whole row for cells which are not empty and to fill the cells between them with the upper cell which is filled.
EDIT:
To explain more, I have an Access Database with a table which is filled with Dates and a table which is filled with numbers.
I want to make a Report to an Excel Sheet.

Maybe something like this. It needs a bit of work as it will fail if two values are next to each other, or column 1 doesn't contain a value.

I have an Excel worksheet named "Current Sites" that has some data. If the 4th column has the word "CSAH", I want to store the values of that row into an array and assign those values to cells in the worksheet named "CSAH Sites". My code sometimes works (the 1st time you click), and most of times it doesn't work or doesn't work properly.
Please help me out! Thanks A Bunch!!
It looks like you want to check every row of data in the "Current Sites" sheet and if column 4 includes the "CSAH" text, then write the first 7 columns of data for that entry to the "CSAH Sites" sheet and add some colour to the even-numbered rows.
To check every row of data, you can read down just one column and use either the Offset or the Cells method to see the values of neighbouring cells. In your code you were "touching" every cell and each time you were then looking at the value in column 4 and also checking to see if the code had gone past column 7. That slows things down a lot and makes the code hard to understand.
You can also assign the values from a range of cells directly to another range of cells without using variables or an array.
See if this does what you want:
Sub UpdateCSAH()
Dim currentSitesRange As Range
Dim thisSiteRange As Range
Dim outputCell As Range
Dim numRowsOfData As Long
Const NUM_COLUMNS_OF_DATA As Integer = 7
Set currentSitesRange = Worksheets("Current Sites").Range("A1")
numRowsOfData = currentSitesRange.CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
Set currentSitesRange = currentSitesRange.Resize(RowSize:=numRowsOfData) 'currentSitesRange is the region that has values
Worksheets("CSAH Sites").Range("A2:G100").ClearContents
Set outputCell = Worksheets("CSAH Sites").Range("A2")
For Each thisSiteRange In currentSitesRange.Cells
' Look for "CSAH" in the Route section (column D)
If InStr(1, thisSiteRange.Offset(ColumnOffset:=3).Value, "CSAH", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
' Found "CSAH" so write NUM_COLUMNS_OF_DATA columns of data to CSAH Sites sheet
outputCell.Resize(ColumnSize:=NUM_COLUMNS_OF_DATA).Value = thisSiteRange.Resize(ColumnSize:=NUM_COLUMNS_OF_DATA).Value
' Format the even-numbered rows
If outputCell.Row Mod 2 = 0 Then
With outputCell.Resize(ColumnSize:=NUM_COLUMNS_OF_DATA).Interior
.Color = 10092441
End With
End If
Set outputCell = outputCell.Offset(RowOffset:=1)
End If
Next thisSiteRange
End Sub
First and foremost, the below works as expected. I'm trying to make the macro mimic one we have in word. Our word macro will select the entire column simply to display which column is currently being processed (the selection object is not used for any actual processing).
In excel, when I attempt to select the column (activecell.entirecolumn.select) if there is a merged cell it will show multiple columns. I need it only to select the letter column (pretty much the same as clicking the letter at the top) of the active cell. I'm hoping for a method that wont require me to parse the address of the cell if possible (I feel like string parsing is sloppy).
Sub setwidths()
Dim rangeName As String
Dim selectedRange As range
Dim tempRange As range
Dim x As Integer
'If only 1 cell is selected, attempt to find the correct named range
If Selection.Cells.Count = 1 Then
rangeName = Lib.getNamedRange(Selection) 'Built in function from my lib (works I promise)
If rangeName <> "" Then
Application.Goto reference:=rangeName
End If
End If
Set selectedRange = Selection
'Go column by column asking for the width
'Made to mimic a word MACRO's behavior and moving backwards served a point in word
For x = selectedRange.Columns.Count To 1 Step -1
Set tempRange = selectedRange.Columns(x)
tempRange.Cells(tempRange.Cells.Count, 1).Select
'This is where the code should go to select the column
tempRange.ColumnWidth = InputBox("This columns?")
Next
End Sub
Is there anyway to select a column by letter (range("A:A").select for instance) from within an active cell?
Edit:
Record MACRO shows that columns("A:A").select is used when clicking the letter at the top; however, entering that same line into the immediate window will select all columns that merged cells are merged across same as with range("A:A").select and activecell.selectcolumn

My current solution to simply shade the cells and then restore their original shading after processing the column.
After an obviously lengthy discussion in the comments on the post. It appears the answer to my question is simply "Not Possible."
The solution I settled on in an attempt to get as close to the "Look" I was searching for is below:
For x = selectedRange.Columns.Count To 1 Step -1
Set tempRange = selectedRange.Columns(x) 'Range of the column
'Our standards dictate the last cell in the range will not be merged
With tempRange.Cells(tempRange.Cells.Count, 1)
.Select 'Selecting here will for excel to make sure the range is in view
'Very simple/basic conditional formatting rule
Set fCondition = .EntireColumn.FormatConditions. _
Add(Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=True")
fCondition.Interior.Color = 15123099
'Make sure it is the highest priority rule
fCondition.Priority = 1
End With
'Get user input
result = InputBox("This Column?")
'Delete rule
fCondition.Delete
'Validate user input
If IsNumeric(result) Then
tempRange.ColumnWidth = result
Else
abort = True
End If
If abort Then
Exit Sub
End If
Next
