Copying to cells without having to select them first - vba

I'm currently trying to use VBA to copy some cells from one location to another and because I'm new to VBA I was wondering if anyone could help me make my code a bit more efficient I know there must be a way to copy to a cell without having to select the cell and then copy to it
For i = 1 To dataSheet.Range("A" & dataSheet.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
dataSheet.Range("A" & i & ":" & "CT" & i).Copy
Set rCell = dataSheet.Range("C" & i)
pasteSheet.Activate
If rCell = condition1 Then
With ActiveSheet
.Range("CU" & rowLoop2).Select
ActiveSheet.paste
End With

You have 2 options. Either use the .PasteSpecial method, or you can just reference the original range and set the new range to it's value.
.Range("CU" & rowLoop2).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll
With the setting values option, you have to define the whole range which the values should fill.
Range("A3:E3").Value = Range("A1:E1").Value
If you just used Range("A3").Value = Range("A1:E1").Value only cell A3 would be populated, and it would take th value from cell A1. Hope this helps.
Edit: it's worth noting that you do not have to change sheets to paste either. Your code could be amended to the below:
With dataSheet
For i = 1 To .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
.Range("A" & i & ":" & "CT" & i).Copy
Set rCell = .Range("C" & i)
If rCell = condition1 Then
pasteSheet.Range("CU" & rowLoop2).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll
End If
Next i
End With

VBA Testing two values, if one is different, copy

I am having a fair amount of trouble with the code below:
Sub TestEmail()
Dim i As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim a As Worksheet
Dim b As Worksheet
Dim strText
Dim ObjData As New MSForms.DataObject
Set a = Workbooks("Book2").Worksheets(1)
Set b = Workbooks("Book1").Worksheets(1)
LastRow = a.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To LastRow
If Not IsError(Application.Match(a.Cells(i, 7).Value, b.Columns(3), 0)) And IsError(Application.Match(a.Cells(i, 4).Value, b.Columns(11), 0)) Then
a.Range("D" & i).Copy
ObjData.GetFromClipboard
strText = Replace(ObjData.GetText(), Chr(10), "")
b.Range("K" & ).Value = b.Range("K" & ).Value & " / " & strText
End If
Next i
End Sub
I face two problems, one has me stumped and the other is due to lack of knowledge:
The line after IF is supposed to check if two values (numbers) in both workbooks match, and if two other values (text) don't match. If all true, then it must copy a value from Book2 and add it to a cell in book1.
The problems are:
-The macro doesn't seem to recognise when the values match or not.
-In the last line before "End If", I don't know how to tell excel to copy the text into the cell that didn't match in the second check.
I am sorry if I am not clear enough, this is hard to explain.
I'm hoping one of the experts knows how to make this work.
Thanks in advance
You are using If Not condition 1 And condition 2, so you are saying that if it doesn't match both conditions, Then you run the code. What you want to make are Nested If Statements However, one is If and the other If Not
To copy you are missing the i After "K"&: b.Range("K" & i) = b.Range("K" & i).Value & " / " & strText
The Address of the Cells are inside the Range Function, which in your case would be:
//It is the cell of the email from the first Workbook tou are copying, where you input the column D
a.Range("D" & i).Copy
//Add to Workbook b in column K the value from Cell K#/value copied
b.Range("K" & i) = b.Range("K" & i).Value & " / " & strText
You can also make it like this: b.Range("K" & i) = b.Range("K" & i).Value & " / " & a.Range("D" & i)
This way you are matching lines, so only if the IDs are on the same rows on both Workbooks it will work. If they aren't, you will have to use Nesting Loops or .Find Function
EDIT:
If I understood it, the code below might work if you make some changes for your application, because i didn't have the data to test and columns, etc. Try to implement it.
LastRowa = a.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
LastRowb = b.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To LastRowa
'Address of String to look for
LookForString = a.Worksheets(1).Cells(i, 4) '4 is the COLUMN_INDEX
'Range to look on Workbook a
With a.Worksheets(1).Range("D1:D" & LastRowa) 'choose column to look
'Function .Find String on book a
Set mail_a = .Find(LookForString, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not mail_a Is Nothing Then
FirstAddress = mail_a.Address
Do ' Actions here
'Range to look on Workbook b
With b.Worksheets(1).Range("K1:K" & LastRowb) 'choose column to look
'Function .Find on Workbook b
Set mail_b = .Find(LookForString, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not mail_b Is Nothing Then
FirstAddress = mail_b.Address
Do 'Actions
'Verify if two other values (text) don't match
If Not WRITE_MATCH_CONDITION_HERE Then
'No need to verify of they are equal because the .Find function used the same reference
'I will use .Cells with .Row and .Column just to show another way to do it and make it dynamic
b.Cells(mail_b.Adress.Row, mail_b.Adress.Column) = b.Cells(mail_b.Adress.Row, mail_b.Adress.Column).Value & " / " & a.Cells(mail_a.Adress.Row, mail_a.Adress.Column) 'choose columns
End If
Set mail_b = .FindNext(mail_b)
Loop While Not mail_b Is Nothing And mail_b.Address <> FirstAddress
End If
End With
Set mail_a = .FindNext(mail_a)
Loop While Not mail_a Is Nothing And mail_a.Address <> FirstAddress
End If
End With
Next i
End Sub
p.s.: The <> is missing on mail_a.Address <> FirstAddress and mail_b.Address <> FirstAddress, when i posted with

VBA Whitelist - match against whitelist then delete specific range

I want to creat a macro that matches against a whitelist, then delete everything that's not on the whitelist. I have the following code:
Sub WHITELIST()
Dim LR As Long, i As Long
With Sheets("Sheet1")
LR = .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = LR To 1 Step -1
If IsError(Application.Match(.Range("A" & i).Value, Sheets("Whitelist").Columns("A"), 0)) Then .Rows(i).Delete
Next i
End With
End Sub
But my code deletes the entire row. I only want to delete the range A:B and shift the cells up (the row size is variable so i always want to check till the last row - up to 40.000 rows). Its important that "important Data" doesn't gets deleted too. Here is an example how the macro SHOULD work:
Hope someone can help me
Greetings
Try changing this line
If IsError(Application.Match(.Range("A" & i).Value, Sheets("Whitelist").Columns("A"), 0)) _
Then .Rows(i).Delete
to this
If IsError(Application.Match(.Range("A" & i).Value, Sheets("Whitelist").Columns("A"), 0)) _
Then .Range("A" & i & ":B" & i).Delete Shift:=xlUp
This will only delete the cells in columns A and B.
Using the Shift:=xlUp will allow you delete those specific cells in the range you define and move the entire block of cells below that range up.

1004: Application defined error when trying to examine cell contents

I am trying to loop through the rows in my sheet, adding cells B-F of the current row to a range to be copied to another sheet. The cells in the row (B-F) should only be added to the range if the value in column G is "Active" and if the value in column C has a value (not empty/nothing/null/!#VALUE...)
I've tried several ways around it, but I keep getting 1004: App/Object defined error off the first If statement
The msgbox shows me the range is valid, I've tried qualifying to the tiniest detail and also using Cells() instead of .range to no avail.
MsgBox (ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staging").range("G" & Cells(rows.Count, 5).End(xlUp).Row).Value)
For i = Cells(rows.Count, 5).End(xlUp).Row To i = 1 Step -1
If ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staging").Cells("G" & i).Value = "Active" Then
If Not IsError(ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staging").range("C" & i)) Then
Set selectRange = range("B" & i & ":F" & i)
Set copyRange = Union2(copyRange, selectRange)
Else
'Do Nothing
End If
Else
'Do Nothing
End If
Next
Am I just missing something simple here? I've been banging my head over this for hours now.
...and for you eagle eyes out there, Union2 isn't a typo, just a user defined function to avoid not being able to join ranges set to "Nothing"
Try the following:
Change the second line to
For i = Cells(rows.Count, 5).End(xlUp).Row To 1 Step -1
Change the third line to
If ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staging").Range("G" & i).Value = "Active" Then
To start change:
If ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staging").Cells("G" & i).Value = "Active" Then
To
If ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staging").Range("G" & i).Value = "Active" Then
Or
If ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staging").Cells(i , 7).Value = "Active" Then
You also need to fully qualify all your ranges as alot of your ranges are pointing to the active sheet and NOT "staging" Unless it is the active sheet, but just to be sure you should use the following code:
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staging")
MsgBox (.Range("G" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, 5).End(xlUp).Row).Value)
For i = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 5).End(xlUp).Row To 1 Step -1
If .Range("G" & i).Value = "Active" Then
If Not IsError(.Range("C" & i)) Then
Set SelectRange = .Range("B" & i & ":F" & i)
Set copyRange = Union(copyRange, SelectRange)
Else
'Do Nothing
End If
Else
'Do Nothing
End If
Next
End With
Also You are using copyRange in this scope without it being declared, I am assuming you are assigning it to a range earlier in your code but if not please make sure to do that.
This is wrong:
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staging").Cells("G" & i).Value
You can use these:
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staging").Cells(i, 6)
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staging").range(cells(i, 6), cells(i, 6)).value
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Staging").range("G" + strings.trim(str(i))).value
I was getting the below Error:
Go to Home -> Select the cell for which you are getting Error-> Use clear all funtion to clear the method.
I executed the script again and it started working fine.

Copy Non Blank Cells From Range to Range

I wonder if you can help me with this:
Ranges B11:B251 & C11:C251 may or may not have some values.
I want to be able to copy non blank cells from cell ranges M11:M251 & N11:N251 to B11:B251 & C11:C251, so if there are any values in M&N ranges they should overwrite values in the same rows in B&C but if there are blank values in M&N ranges they should not be copied and leave the values already present (or not) in B&C.
Was I clear? ;-)
Thanks for any replies!
Sub Main()
Dim i As Long
For i = 11 To 251
If Not IsEmpty(Range("M" & i)) Then _
Range("B" & i) = Range("M" & i)
If Not IsEmpty(Range("N" & i)) Then _
Range("C" & i) = Range("N" & i)
Next i
End Sub
this code will only copy non empty values from M&N columns to B&C
This piece of code should do the trick:
Sub CopyRangeToRange()
Dim CpyFrom As Range
Dim Cell As Range
Set CpyFrom = ActiveSheet.Range("M11:N251")
For Each Cell In CpyFrom
If Cell.Value <> vbNullString Then
Cell.Offset(0, -11).Value = Cell.Value
End If
Next Cell
End Sub

Excel VBA: Compiler Errors

So yesterday I posted my first SO question, and it went down like a ton of bricks. However I've picked myself up, dusted myself off, and hopefully this question will be more acceptable... :-)
I am trying to remove data duplicates from a list of Health Questionnaires I have to monitor, but the tricky bit I was struggling with was finding a duplicate in one column, AND then checking that the data on the same row, for the 3 adjacent columns were also duplicates. Storing the searched for 'duplicated row' was the bit that was throwing me off.
Here's some code I've cobbled together from other similarly-functioning scripts. I'm now in debug mode and keep getting errors thrown up... I don't have much experience of VBA, so i'm running out of options.
I'm currently getting type mismatch errors with the variable g, and also firstAddress. Why are these causing problems???
Can I call firstAddress.Row or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Here's the snippet:
g = .Find(Range("G" & i).Text, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not g Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = g.Address
dupRow = firstAddress.Row
And here's the whole code below. Any help would be much appreciated!
Sub FindCpy()
Dim lw As Long
Dim i As Integer
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim dupRow As Integer
Dim g As Integer
Dim firstAddress As Integer
'Used for the new worksheet we are pasting into
Dim objNewSheet As Worksheet
Dim rngNextAvailbleRow As Range
'Used to narrow down the logical operators for duplicates
Dim rngFirst As Range
'Set the ranges
rngFirst = Range("G" & 1, "G" & lw)
Set sh = Sheets("Completed")
lw = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To lw 'Find duplicates from the list.
If Application.CountIf(Range("A" & i & ":A" & lw), Range("A" & i).Text) = "Complete" Then
'if COMPLETE, check the rest of the sheet for any 'in progress' duplicates...
With Worksheets("Still In Progress").rngFirst
g = .Find(Range("G" & i).Text, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not g Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = g.Address
dupRow = firstAddress.Row
If Range("H" & dupRow).Text = Range("H" & i).Text _
And Range("I" & dupRow).Text = Range("I" & i).Text _
And Range("J" & dupRow).Text = Range("J" & i).Text Then
'select the entire row
Range.EntireRow.Select
'copy the selection
Selection.Cut
'Now identify and select the new sheet to paste into
Set objNewSheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Completed")
objNewSheet.Select
'Looking at your initial question, I believe you are trying to find the next available row
Set rngNextAvailbleRow = objNewSheet.Range("A1:A" & objNewSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
Range("A" & rngNextAvailbleRow.Rows.Count + 1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
'delete the initial row
rngCell.EntireRow.Delete
Set g = .FindNext(g)
Loop While Not g Is Nothing And g.Address <> firstAddress
End If
End With
Next i
End Sub
I went through your code carefully. There were a number of problems. Some of these I think I was able to fix - there was one where I guessed what you intended to do, but for one of them I just marked it; you need to explain what you were trying to do, as you are deleting a range that you never defined...
The first problem is with the line:
If Application.CountIf(Range("A" & i & ":A" & lw), Range("A" & i).Text) = "Complete" Then
The CountIf function returns a number; you are comparing this number with the string "Complete". I don't think you can ever get past this line, so the rest of the code (whether correct or not) will not execute. Not entirely clear what you are trying to do in this line, as I'm not sure when a line will be marked "Complete" - but assuming that you are interested in executing the rest of the code if the cell in A & i has the string "Complete" in it, then you probably want to do
If Range("A" & i).Text = "Complete" Then
There were a number of If - Then, With, and Loop structures that were not properly terminated with a matching End. I have tried to remedy this - make sure I did it right. Note that using proper indentation really helps to find problems like this. The space bar is your friend...
Since the Find method returns an object, the correct way to use the function is
Set g = .Find(Range("G" & i).Text, LookIn:=xlValues)
Apart from that - use Option Explicit at the top of your code, and define variables with the most restrictive (correct) type that you can. When I did this I found the error I could not correct - with the rngCell variable that was neither declared, nor ever set... It shows just how helpful it can be. Also good for catching typos - VBA will happily let you write things like
myVar = 1
MsgBox myVra + 1
The message will be 1, not 2, because of the typo... The fact that Explicit should even be an option is one of the many inexplicable design decisions made by the VBA team.
Here is your code "with most of the errors fixed". At least like this it will compile - but you must figure out what to do with the remaining error (and I can't be sure I guessed right about what you wanted to do with the cell marked "Complete").
Comments welcome.

Another handy trick: when you "paste in the next available row" as you are doing with Range("A" & rngNextAvailbleRow.Rows.Count + 1).Select, I usually find it handy to do something like this instead:
Dim destination As Range
Set destination = Worksheets("Sheetname").Range("A1")
And when you need to paste something:
destination.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Set destination = destination.Offset(1,0)
This way, destination is always pointing to the "next place where I can paste". I find it helpful and cleaner.
