Consider the following VBA MWE
Sub test()
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Range("A:A, C:C")
Dim rRow As Range
For i = 1 To 5
Set rRow = Intersect(rng, rng.Cells(i, 1).EntireRow)
rRow.Value = 1
rRow.Cells(, 2).Value = 2
Next
End Sub
Which produces an output that looks like this
1 2 1
1 2 1
1 2 1
1 2 1
1 2 1
As we can see, the line rRow.Value = 1 sets the cells in the first and third column to 1. Now, I can't get my head around why the rRow.Cells(1,2) doesn't access the third column such that the output is
1 2
1 2
1 2
1 2
1 2
and leave the second column empty, since this appears to be what is happening in the line rRow.Value = 1. Can someone explain this logic to me?
EDIT:
Commenting out the rRow.Cells(,2).Value = 2 such that the code reads
Sub test()
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Range("A:A, C:C")
Dim rRow As Range
For i = 1 To 5
Set rRow = Intersect(rng, rng.Cells(i, 1).EntireRow)
rRow.Value = 1
'rRow.Cells(, 2).Value = 2
Next
End Sub
yields the following output
1 1
1 1
1 1
1 1
1 1
where columns A and C are filled with ones, and column B is left alone.
Using the Range or Cells property of a Range object (rather than the more usual Worksheet), provides a reference to a range relative to the top left cell of the original range. It is not in any way restricted to cells within that original range.
Hence this:
Range("A1").Range("B2")
refers to the cell one column to the right and one row below A1. So does this:
Range("A1:A10").Range("B2")
Note that it still only refers to one cell, even though the original range was 10 cells. Cells works in exactly the same way (just as it does with a Worksheet parent). So this:
Range("A1").Cells(2, 2)
and this:
Range("A1:A10").Cells(2, 2)
both refer to B2.

I would like to thank everyone for their feedback so far it has helped a great deal. one question that I am grappling with is how to make my column values even so I can do a dynamic subtototal.
Column k Column R Column Y Column AF Column AM Column AT
1 2 4 2 3 5
3 9 7 8 2 4
2 3 6 3 5 8
3 3 2
5
TOT 9 14 25 13 12 17
Column k Column R Column Y Column AF Column AM Column AT
1 2 4 2 3 5
3 9 7 8 2 4
2 3 6 3 5 8
3 3 2
5
TOT 9 14 25 13 12 17
on a monthly basis the column values can fluctuate, the question is how do I use VBA to create a dynamic sum based on the column with the most values.
Dim Rin As Range
Dim Rout As Range
Dim lRa As Long
lRa = Range("i" & Rows.count).End(xlUp).Row
Set Rin = ws.Range("i" & lRa)
Set Rout = ws.Range("I" & lRa)
aCell.Range("I11:P12", "R12:AY12").Copy
Rout.Offset(2, 0).Resize(1, 28).Formula = "=SUBTOTAL(9," &
Rin.Address(0, 0) & ")"
lR = ws.Range("I" & Rows.count).End(xlUp).Row - 1 ' Finds the last blank
row
ws.Range("I" & lR).PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats
If you know where your data starts you can use a method such as that given by Shai Rado.
You can't have any entirely empty rows or columns in the range.
You can then feed this lastRow variable into the range address for adding your subtotal formula.
Example: If your data is a continuous set of populated columns starting at Cell D3 the following will get the last used row number in the range of columns:
Option Explicit
Public Sub AddSubTotal()
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim lastCol As Long
Dim firstRow As Long
Dim rowHeight As Long
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Worksheets("Sheet2") 'change as appropriate
With ws.Range("D3").CurrentRegion 'change as appropriate
firstRow = .Rows(1).Row
lastRow = .Rows(.Rows.Count).Row
lastCol = .Columns(.Columns.Count).Column
rowHeight = lastRow - firstRow + 1
End With
With ws
.Range(.Cells(lastRow + 1, "D"), .Cells(lastRow + 1, lastCol)).FormulaR1C1 = "=SUBTOTAL(9,R[-" & rowHeight & "]C:R[-1]C)"
End With
End Sub
If you need a different method to find the last used row and last used column there a lots of available resources online including my favourite by Ron De Bruin Find last row, column or last cell. The appropriateness of each method is determined by the shape and properties of your range e.g. no blank columns or rows in range. So choose a method that is right for your data or that can test for different likely cases and apply different methodologies as appropriate.
It is quite difficult to give a definitive answer (and i don't want to code lots of different possible scenarios) to this question without knowing more about the nature and variability of the data. If you familiarise yourself with the methods of finding last row and column you will be able to implement those that suit your needs.
I would like to take values from column A and cut and paste them into column B, with each value exactly one cell to the left of their corresponding matching values from column C. Here is a before and after of what I would like to accomplish. Basically, each value from column A finds its match in column C and is copied, then pasted directly to the left of its match in column B.
Column A Column C
10 1
9 2
8 3
7 4
6 5
5 6
4 7
3 8
2 9
1 10
Column B Column C
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
8 8
9 9
10 10
Here it what I have tried:
Sub arrange()
Cells(1, 1).Activate
Do
If IsEmpty(ActiveCell) Then Exit Do
If ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Value = ActiveCell.Value Then
ActiveCell.Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Activate
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
End If
Loop
End Sub
The problem with this approach is that it only finds matching values in the same row. I want it to be able to search the entire column and place the value next to a match, whether the match is in the same row or not.
What you need to do is loop through column A and check to see if each value can be found in column C. If it is copy to column B.
Sub arrange()
Dim Wbk As Workbook
Set Wbk = ActiveWorkbook
Dim row As Integer
Dim col As Integer
Dim currentA As Integer
Dim numRows As Integer
Worksheets("chicoexcel").Activate
numRows = Wbk.Worksheets("chicoexcel").Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlDown)).Rows.Count
For a = 1 To numRows + 1 'start at 1 because it is the first row. This will loop through Column A
currentA = Sheets("chicoexcel").Cells(a, "A").Value 'Save the current value in column A
For c = 1 To numRows + 1 'start at 1 because it is the first row. This will loop through Column C
If (Sheets("chicoexcel").Cells(c, "C").Value = currentA) Then 'Check if the col C value is equal to the current col A value.
Sheets("chicoexcel").Cells(c, "B") = Sheets("chicoexcel").Cells(c, "C").Value 'If so copy to column B
Sheets("chicoexcel").Cells(a, "A") = Null 'Remove the value from col A
End If
Next c
Next a
End Sub
I assumed all the values were integers, and that the data starts in row 1.
This is not the most efficient solution, but you'll be able to see what is happening using the debugger. You could include the FIND function to speed things up. I'll let you figure that out yourself.
I'm new in VBA. I hope that this is not a difficult question for you.My problem:
I have TEXT in column A and NUMBER in column B. Like this:
Column A Column B
TEXT 1 3
TEXT 2 2
TEXT 3 3
..... ...
I need to auto-generate a table in other sheet which has two columns. First contains the text which repeats n times (NUMBER in column B) and then the next text from Column A. In the second column of this table I need number from 1 to NUMBER. like this:
Column A Column B
TEXT 1 1
TEXT 1 2
TEXT 1 3
TEXT 2 1
TEXT 2 2
TEXT 3 1
TEXT 3 2
TEXT 3 3
.... ....
Then I have to post-process this table, but I know how to make it. I don't know how to generate the table.
Expanding on my comment:
Sub MakeTable()
Dim i As Long, j As Long, k As Long, m As Long, n As Long
Dim t As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
Sheets(1).Activate
Set ws = Sheets(2)
n = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row()
k = 1
For i = 1 To n
t = Cells(i, 1).Value
m = Cells(i, 2).Value
For j = 1 To m
ws.Cells(k, 1).Value = t
ws.Cells(k, 2).Value = j
k = k + 1
Next j
Next i
End Sub
This assumes that the original data is in Sheet1 and you are transferring it to Sheet2, and that the data begins in row 1. Adjust accordingly if those assumptions are false. The way I determine the last cell in column A that has data is an important idiom in Excel VBA and should be mastered.
I need a formula or function which is going to fulfill my below mentioned need. I have a excel data of around 11000 rows and data looks somewhat like in Column A:
Now in column B i want the result to be printed like it mentioned below: which literally means it should count the values present in column A and print it in the column B, I don't need to repeat count:
Column A Column B
PC-101 1
PC-101 1
PC-102 2
PC-102 2
PC-103 3
PC-104 4
PC-106 5
PC-107 6
PC-104 4
PC-106 5
PC-106 5
I tried with the "count" series formulas but the result was null.
Even i wrote the macro as given below( which i got from stackoverflow) but even it is printing the repeating count:
Sub CountOccurence()
' Reference: Microsoft Scripting Runtime
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set oDict = New Dictionary
Dim wS As Worksheet
Dim r As Integer, rLast As Integer
Set wS = Sheet1
rLast = wS.Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
For r = 3 To rLast Step 1
If Not (oDict.Exists(wS.Cells(r, 1).Value)) Then
oDict.Add wS.Cells(r, 1).Value, 1
Else
oDict.Item(wS.Cells(r, 1).Value) = oDict.Item(wS.Cells(r, 1).Value) + 1
End If
wS.Cells(r, 2).Value = oDict.Item(wS.Cells(r, 1).Value)
Next r
Set oDict = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Can anyone help me regarding this? Thanks in advance.
I tried with the "count" series formulas but the result was null.
A simple Excel formula can do this.
Put 1 in Cell B1 and then put this formula in cell B2 and pull it down.
=IF(COUNTIF($A$1:$A2,A2)>1,VLOOKUP(A2,A:B,2,0),B1+1)
Assuming that your data in column a is sorted, you can simply place 1 in B2 this formula in B3 and copy it down:
=IF(A2<>A3,B2+1,B2)
:-)
I have a Excel matrix as below:
PID# T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6 T7
11 1 1
14 1 1 1
21 1 1
41 1 1 1 1
71 1
88 1 1 1
PID# is nothing but the processes, all the processes has been composed of multiple tasks. But it is not mandatory that all processes should use all the T1 - T5 tasks. In such a scenario is it possible to get the PID# which used maximum tasks. 1 used to indicate that a task has been used or not. here the PID# 41 and 88 used maximum tasks say it is 5. I need only the maximum used column count and any of the row# which used that number of columns.
NOTE
here i have used 1 to tell there is data,but in reality there are different types of data. I need to find out which row used maximum columns.But one thing if any cells for a row is blank and it is to the left,should be in the count. say for example --
<> 1 <> 1 gives the count as 4
<> <> 1 <> will give the count as 3
1 1 <> will give the count as 2 ' here I used <> used to represent the no values
EDIT
Option Explicit
Dim ArrayListTaskDetails : Set ArrayListTaskDetails = CreateObject("System.Collections.ArrayList")
Dim i,colcount
i=2
Do while i < = objExcel1.Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(ob.Rows(1))
colcount=objExcel1.Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(ob.Rows(i))
ArrayListTaskDetails.Add(colcount)
i=i+1
Loop
ArrayListTaskDetails.Sort()
i=ArrayListTaskDetails.Count
MsgBox("HighestColumnNumner:" & ArrayListTaskDetails(i-1))
Problem:
I can't count the blank columns for rows which don't have the contiguous value. Thus count is not produced by me correctly.
EDIT1
Here the problem is still i can't count the left blank cells if any,as those are also to be considered as used column,in which other rows can have values.Thus need to find out the the right most column which has been used by a row after which no columns has been used by any rows. Hope I am able to clear what I am looking for:
Option Explicit
Dim objExcel1
Dim strPathExcel1
Dim objSheet1,objWB,ColCount
Dim ArrayListTaskDetails : Set ArrayListTaskDetails = CreateObject("System.Collections.ArrayList")
Set objExcel1 = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
strPathExcel1 = "D:\AravoVB\.xlsx"
Set objWB = objExcel1.Workbooks.open(strPathExcel1)
Set objSheet1 = objExcel1.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
Do Untill count > objExcel1.Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(objSheet1.Rows(1))
Range = objSheet1.("count:count")
ColCount=objExcel1.Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range,<> "")
ArrayListTaskDetails.Add(ColCount)
Loop
ArrayListTaskDetails.Sort()
MsgBox(ArrayListTaskDetails(ArrayListTaskDetails.Count - 1))
Thanks,
Still not convinced why Vikas answer is not working for you. Try this code please. It highlights the last max value. Only flaw is that it doesn't track all the PID that has same max value. I could improve the code if you need that as well.
Code:
Option Explicit
Sub getRealUsedColumns()
Dim rngInput As Range
Dim arrInput As Variant, arrRowTotal As Variant
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, counter As Integer, iTemp As Integer
Dim iPID As Integer, maxRowNum As Integer
arrInput = Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(Sheets(3).Range("B3:I8").Value2)
ReDim arrRowTotal(LBound(arrInput, 2) To UBound(arrInput, 2))
For i = LBound(arrInput, 2) To UBound(arrInput, 2)
counter = 0
For j = LBound(arrInput) + 1 To UBound(arrInput)
If arrInput(j, i) <> "" Or Not IsEmpty(arrInput(j, i)) Then
counter = counter + 1
End If
Next j
'-- most recent max value (if you have two of the same, this doens't catch)
'-- you need to save in a proper array to catch multiple PIDs with same max value
If iTemp <= counter Then
iTemp = counter
iPID = arrInput(1, i)
maxRowNum = i
End If
arrRowTotal(i) = counter
Next i
'-- Row total into the sheet output
Sheets(3).Range("J3").Resize(UBound(arrRowTotal)) = _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(arrRowTotal)
'-- highlight the max total row.
With Sheets(3).Range("B3").Offset(maxRowNum - 1, 0).Resize(1, UBound(arrInput, 1) + 1)
.Interior.Color = 200
End With
End Sub
Results:
Excel is very powerful in calculating Matrix. I would use the Excel Formula instead of Code in order to calculate it. I would add a column in the right, which would add the total number of tasks used by a process, as shown in the matrix below.
A B C D E F G
1 PID T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 Total
2 #11 1 1
3 #14 1 1 1 3
4 #21 1 1 1 1 1 5
5 #41 1 1 2
Then I will write two Array Formulas to calculate the maximum number of tasks used by a process and the name of that process.
Formula to calculate maximum tasks used in the example: =SUM(IF($G$2:$G$5=MAX($G$2:$G$5),G2:G5,0))
Formula to find the pricess which used the maximum tasks:
=OFFSET(A1,SUM(IF($G$2:$G$5=MAX($G$2:$G$5),ROW(G2:G5)-1,0)),0,1,1)
Please note that I had mentioned that I used Array formulas. In order to add array formula in Excel, you need to enter formula and then press "Ctrl+Shift+Enter" to make that formula an array formula.
Hope this helps.
