Macro to Auto Fill Down VLookUp Results down to last adjacent cell - vba

I am trying to make a macro that will run a vlookup and then autofill down to the last adjacent cell that contains data. When I originally created the macro the dataset contained 1917 lines of data which is why you will continue to see it reference 1917. However, the dataset varies in size daily.
This particular macro takes a couple of steps before getting to this point:
Converts text to columns
Deletes an unnecessary column that is provided from a supporting report
Adds titles to 5 columns
Resizes all of the columns to fix the data
Then it runs the first vlookup which I need the data to fill down to the last adjacent cell to the left
Then it runs another vlookup which I need to also fill down to the last adjacent cell to the left
Here is the code for the two vlookup I am struggling with:
Range("E2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-4],'CURRENT DAY'!R[-1]C[-4]:R[2498]C[1],5,0)"
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-4],'CURRENT DAY'!R1C1:R2500C6,5,0)"
Range("E2").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("E2:E1917")
Range("E2:E1917").Select
Columns("E:E").EntireColumn.AutoFit
Range("F2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-5],'CURRENT DAY'!R[-1]C[-5]:R[2498]C,6,0)"
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-5],'CURRENT DAY'!R1C1:R2500C6,6,0)"
Range("F2").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("F2:F1917")
Range("F2:F1917").Select

There is not need to autofill. Just find the last row in column A and use that to denote the range in which to put the r1c1 formula
Dim lastrow As Long
lastrow = Range("A2").End(xlDown).Row
Range("E2:E" & lastrow).FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-4],'CURRENT DAY'!R1C1:R2500C6,5,0)"
Range("F2:F" & lastrow).FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-5],'CURRENT DAY'!R1C1:R2500C6,6,0)"
Columns("E:F").EntireColumn.AutoFit

Excel VB Advanced Filter Copy with Condition

I am trying to put a condition on each row copied. I want all uniques but only if they also have a specific value in another field.
This is what I have to grab all uniques (and it works) but I can't figure out how to get only the rows with a specific value in column J.
r1.Columns(20).AdvancedFilter xlFilterCopy, , Sheet11.Range("A1"), unique:=True
I have tried doing a CriteriaRange but I can't seem to get the syntax correct for it. Additionally I thought about an If statement but logically in my head it means it would fire off the whole list every time it has a true statement, not on a per row basis.
Here is how I thought it might work. But I get a type mismatch error.
r1.Columns(20).AdvancedFilter xlFilterCopy, r1.Columns(10).Value = "November", Sheet11.Range("A1"), unique:=True
Thoughts?
First of all, your Criteria Range should be just that - a Range with the header corresponding to the column to be filtered, and criteria underneath. For example, D1:D2 in this snapshot:
Secondly, you won't be able to copy just a single column (20) while filtering another column (10) in the same step.
You can tweak the Advanced Filter to
First filter the entire list in place based on the criterion provided
And then copy the visible cells in the column in question
Something like this (change Sheet and Range references as needed):
Sub MyFilter()
Dim lastRow As Long
With Sheet1
lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
.Range("A1:B" & lastRow).AdvancedFilter _
Action:=xlFilterInPlace, CriteriaRange:=.Range("D1:D2"), Unique:=True
With .Range("B1:B" & lastRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
.Copy Sheet2.Range("A1")
End With
.ShowAllData
End With
End Sub
To be able to keep the other parts of the code that worked perfectly. I added a hidden sheet and wrote a macro to copy the filtered results out to the new hidden sheet. Then I ran my original code against the filtered data on that hidden sheet.
Sub FilterLiveToDataSheet()
' Unhide Required Sheets
Sheets("Original-Data").Visible = True
Sheets("Filtered-Data").Visible = True
' Delete Old Data
Sheets("Filtered-Data").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.ClearContents
' Copy Filtered Data
Sheets("Original-Data").Select
Range("TBL_ATTR_Spend[[#Headers],[HeaderName]]").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("TBL_ATTR_Spend").Range.AutoFilter Field:=10, _
Criteria1:="Delta"
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
' Paste to Data Sheet
Sheets("Filtered-Data").Select
Cells.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
' Unfilter Original Data Page
Sheets("Original-Data").Select
Range("TBL_ATTR_Spend[[#Headers],[HeaderName]]").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
' Hide Required Sheets
Sheets("Original-Data").Visible = False
Sheets("Filtered-Data").Visible = False
' Go to Results Sheet
Sheets("Results").Select

Pulling information from one tab to another

I need to populate specific columns in one tab from the original data held in the first tab. I have done a quick reordered VBA code to help anybody understand what I am trying to do in the hope they can refine. I also need the VBA code to stop at the line where the data ends. currently the recorded VBA code pulls down to row 159 yet the data in the original tab stops at row 72. I would have stopped my VBA code at the line where the information ends but this changes from day to day and could be anywhere from row 1 to 158.
(If I populate a cell past where the data ends in the original it makes the sheet unusable for other purposes I require it for, even if it is a zero.)
There is data in column A and B, so I was thinking if the macro could say if data is in cell A15 then pull though info from G15 etc?? No data no pull.
I know this may seem basic to some but as a novice I am still getting my head around VBA.
Sub Populate_Order()
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-15
Range("M8").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='Order Sheet'!R[7]C[-6]"
Range("M8").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("M8:M159"), Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("M8:M159").Select
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-135
Range("Q8").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='Order Sheet'!R[7]C[-9]"
Range("Q8").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("Q8:Q159"), Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("Q8:Q159").Select
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-132
Range("R8").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='Order Sheet'!R[7]C[-9]"
Range("R8").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("R8:R159"), Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("R8:R159").Select
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-123
Range("I3").Select
to find the next empty row try something like this
Dim sourceSheet As Worksheet: Set sourceSheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1")
Dim destSheet As Worksheet: Set destSheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet2")
lMaxRows = destSheet.Cells(destSheet.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
destSheet.range("A" & lMaxRows + 1).Value = sourceSheet.range("M1").Value
this is a simple example of finding the next empty row then setting column A in that row to the value from cell M1 in another sheet

Trying to copy a formula down an entire column to the last row of data in an adjacent column

I am a new VBA user, and I am trying to create a VBA code to copy a single Vlookup formula down an entire column to the last row of data in an adjacent column. I don't want to specify a specific range, because I intend to use this macro with multiple different files that have different row ranges, so I am looking for a code that will simply copy down to the last value in an adjacent column.
I have tried looking at other similar questions and answers on this website, but none of the solutions that I have found have been working, and I would really appreciate some help!
Here is my code that I currently have:
' Section5 Macro
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(RC[6],'[PERSONAL.XLSB]Task and Sections'!R2C1:R254C2,2,FALSE)"
Range("C2").Select
Selection.Copy 'Copy Vlookup Formula
Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("C3").AutoFill destination:=Range("C3:C" & lastRow) 'Specify range for Column C based off of row count in Column B
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False 'Paste Vlookup equation down the column
End Sub
The formula I want to copy is "=VLOOKUP(RC[6],'[PERSONAL.XLSB]Task and Sections'!R2C1:R254C2,2,FALSE". The column that I want to copy this formula down is column C (in all rows except C1 which is the Header). The column that I want to refer to for row length is the adjacent column B.
Currently I am getting an error that says "Compile error: Named argument not found".
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
As pointed in the comment, you had a simple typo ("desination")... Nevertheless, your code doesn't seem to work even when this is fixed.
There's a much simpler approach. Try this:
Sub FillWithFormula()
Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("C2:C" & lastRow).FormulaLocal = "=B2*2"
End Sub
Notice that I replaced your formula with a simpler one (independent of external data) so I could verify that the routine works.
Here.
Sub thing()
Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
Range("C3:C" & lastRow).FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[6],'[PERSONAL.XLSB]Task and Sections'!R2C1:R254C2,2,FALSE)"
Range("C3:C" & lastRow).Value = Range("C3:C" & lastRow).Value
End Sub
Simpler, more elegant. Hasn't this kind of thing been solved like a million times all around the internet? Anyway, copy-paste is the slowest thing you can do in a macro. Avoid it. Just set the values of a range to be the values of the range. :)
Also, you can assign a formula to a whole range.

Autofill formula in the same row through the user specified number of columns

I recorded a macro to AutoFill a formula through A5:D5. However, instead of filling until P column every time, a macro should ask the user how many columns he/she wants to autofill the formula through. e.g. if user gives 6 columns, formula should fill through A5:F6 and so on.
Range("A5").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(R[-1]C<=R8C4,EDATE(RC[-1],1),"""")"
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("A5:D5"), Type:=xlFillDefault
I tried doing this.
Dim myValue As Integer
myValue = InputBox("Enter number of months")
Range("A5").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(R[-1]C<=R8C4,EDATE(RC[-1],1),"""")"
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("A5:" & myValue & "5"), Type:=xlFillDefault
Replace your last line of code with:
Range("A5").Resize(1,myValue).FillRight
In fact, you can probably replace your last 3 lines with this one line:
Range("A5").Resize(1,myValue).FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(R[-1]C<=R8C4,EDATE(RC[-1],1),"""")"

How to use formular1c1 without defining the range in vba excel?

My code is:
Range("M1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1c1 = "SUM(R[2]C:R[4157]C)"
My problem is what if I have more than 4157 rows. How do I ensure all rows for that column will be added up?
Thanks!
Try with:
Range("M1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1c1 = "=SUM(R[2]C:R[" & ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count & "]C)"
EDIT:
Added the = to the formula, so that Excel understands it is a formula. Otherwise it would just put the text in the cell.
As per Jaycal's comment try this:
dim rowNum as integer
Range("M1").Select
rowNum=activesheet.cells(rows.Count,activecell.Column).end(xlUp).row
ActiveCell.FormulaR1c1 = "=SUM(R[2]C:R[" & rowNum & "]C)"
where using the cells notation means we can refer to row then column, row is taken as the max rows in worksheet, column is the active cell - which makes this a bit more reusable than referrring to range("M" & rows.count) given you've selected the cell anyway.
