Find duplicate and copy adjacent cell into - vba

I need some help getting some direction on this task.
I have two spreadsheets dumps with large quantities of information. I need to combine them into one organized sheet.
Spreadsheet A has path to the file (via hard drive), with loads of additional info needed to be retained.
Spreadsheet B had path to the file (via hard drive), and for those in the content management system, the path in the CMS.
I would like to copy spreadsheet B into worksheet 2 in spreadsheet A, then run a macro that will search for matching values (path to file via hard drive), and where the same, copy the adjacent value of worksheet B (path in CMS) and copy that in the appropriate cell in spreadsheet A.
I have a vlookup function that does exactly what I need it to do, but how do I go about and put it in a macro to run?
=VLOOKUP(H1,A:B,2,FALSE)
How would I put this into a macro that returns the value, not just puts the formula in the cell?
Sub PCMSLookup()
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = Range("B" & Cells.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("J15:J" & LastRow).Formula = "=VLOOKUP(B15,'PCMS-dump'!A:B,2,FALSE)"
End Sub

The quickest way to put the value into the cells is to block in the formula then revert the formula to the returned value.
Sub PCMSLookup()
Dim LastRow As Long
with sheets("Sheet1") '<-set this worksheet reference properly
LastRow = .Range("B" & Cells.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
with .Range("J15:J" & LastRow)
.Formula = "=VLOOKUP(B15, 'PCMS-dump'!A:B, 2, FALSE)"
.cells = .value2
end with
end with
End Sub
Note that when you are within a With/End With grouping, all of the range and cell references are prefixed with a period (e.g. . or full stop). This shows that they are children of closest With/End With.

Use VBA to replace sporadic #N/A cells with a formula

I have data that comes from different sources via Get Data/Connections that goes into a sheet/table called RawData. I have created a macro linked to a button the user must click to fill in some of the data in RawData with an index/match function that points to another workbook where the reservation number from RawData is matched to the other workbook to determine the length of stay.
I am not appending said workbook to the RawData table for different reasons. I can go that route if need be but I figured there would be an easier route before we cross that bridge. The issue I have is that once the macro is ran, the other workbook, at times, may not have the reservation data. In these cases, I had to manually determine this data.
This new data can be placed within my main workbook [but I currently have it in it's own workbook (LOSNAintoActualLOS.xlsm) as I've been running tests on making this work]. And the formula has to be pasted into the table because when the table refreshes, the row of data that would normally have the length of stay removes the formula and replaces it with it's original value, a blank cell.
What I need is for my code to loop through all the cells within the F column of a table, determine the cells with #N/A errors, then paste a formula in the error cell. I have done some research and can't seem to find something that suits my needs. I attempted doing this as a loop but seeing as I'm still pretty new to VBA coding, it's definitely not my strong suit.
Sub Macro2()
Dim r As Integer
LastRow = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
With Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("F2:F" & LastRow)
For r = 2 To LastRow
If .IsError(Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("F" & r)).Value Then
.Formula = "INDEX(LOSNAintoActualLOS.xlsm!Table1[#Data],MATCH([#Reservation],LOSNAintoActualLOS.xlsm!Table1[Reservation],0),7)"
.Value = .Value
End If
Next r
End With
End Sub
When I run the code for my If statement I get Run-time error '438': Object doesn't support this property or method. If I remove the first period from .IsError I get Compile error: Invalid qualifier.
IsError is not part of Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("F2:F" & LastRow)
Switch it up like this.
Sub Macro2()
Dim r As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For r = 2 To LastRow
With Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("F" & r)
If IsError(.Value) Then
.Formula = "INDEX(LOSNAintoActualLOS.xlsm!Table1[#Data],MATCH([#Reservation],LOSNAintoActualLOS.xlsm!Table1[Reservation],0),7)"
.Value = .Value
End If
End With
Next r
End Sub

Copy/Paste variable dataset between workbooks without clipboard

I've been trying to optimize some of my coding and managed to cut and speed it up a lot. However there are some things that are still quite clunky (and me still a noob). Backstory is that my code is opening source and target files, copies a lot of data of variable length, closes source and then does a lot of operations and finally saves target file.
One of the things Id like is to do if possible is a direct copy of data without using clipboard, activating workbooks, selecting sheets (whatever of this is possible to pack into more efficient code that I am currently having)
Windows("SOURCE.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("Data").Select
Range("A2:AX10").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("TARGET.xlsm").Activate
Range("A2").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Is it possible to do a selection (A2:AX10 and all the way down to last row) in SOURCE file-Data sheet and directly copy it to TARGET file-Data sheet cell A2 without using clipboard.
The reason why I use A2:AX10 and then selection down is because I have a lot of blank cells in the whole data set and this way I get entire data.
I would like to be able to to that selection and use it as a range in this line
Workbooks(“SOURCE”).Worksheets("Data").Range(“A2:AX10 & ALLTHEWAYDOWN”).Copy _Workbooks(“TARGET”).Worksheets("Data").Range(“A2")
I was trying to solve this but I dont end up with desired result. When I try doing selection and setting as range then both trying copy range with activitng workbooks and in the direct copy mode I get 1004 error.
Is it possible to optimize this chunk and make it work. It would improve a lot of my VBA.
Thanks,
You need something like this:
With Workbooks("SOURCE.xlsm").Sheets("Data")
.Range("A2:AX10", .Range("A2:AX10").End(xlDown)).Copy Workbooks("TARGET.xlsm").ActiveSheet.Range("A2")
End With
You could probably also use CurrentRegion rather than End(xlDown
You can set one range's values (the range where you would want to paste values) equal to a source range's values (the range which you would previously have copied).
Sub paste_values()
Dim wb_A As Workbook, ws_A As Worksheet
Dim wb_B As Workbook, ws_B As Worksheet
Dim last_row As Long
Set wb_A = ThisWorkbook
Set ws_A = wb_A.Sheets(1)
Set wb_B = Workbooks("WorkbookB")
Set ws_B = wb_B.Sheets(1)
With ws_A
last_row = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
End With
ws_B.Range("A2:AX" & last_row).Value = ws_A.Range("A2:AX" & last_row).Value
End Sub
This code is setting the new range's values equal to the original range. It prevents the need to activate sheets or workbooks, whilst also copying data to a range without filling the clipboard.
I would also recommend using last_row = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row to find the last row of your data. Although you do need to ensure you use this on a column which you know contains continuous data.

Excel use cell value as range in VBA

I have an excel file. There is a changable row quantity for column A for every time and that's why I need to make dynamic formula. For example;
I want to write "=LEN(B1)" formula on B1. And when make double click on right down corner of the cell, it's going to the end of until when column A values ends. That's why, before all this process, I wrote "=COUNT(A:A)" on cell C1.
In my VBA, I want to write;
Dim TEMP As String
TEMP = Range("C1").Value
Range("B1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1="=+LEN(RC[-1])"
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("B1:TEMP")
But there is something wrong in this process. As a result, I just want to use a cell value in my VBA as a range or string or number.
Thanks for your support.
Two notes:
It's best practice to always qualify your objects (workbooks, worksheets, ranges, etc.) beforehand
When you use R1C1 notation, you can just write the formula directly to the range (with no need for AutoFill or FillDown)
Try this:
Dim ws as Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1") 'edit for your sheet name
Dim lRow as Long
lRow = ws.Range("A" & ws.Rows.count).End(xlup).Row
ws.Range("B1:B" & lRow).FormulaR1C1 = "=Len(RC[-1])"
And just as a side note worth mentioning the way you wrote Range("B1:TEMP") is not proper syntax. Correct syntax would be Range("B1:B" & TEMP), which, of course, would only work if TEMP was indeed a numerical value :)

How to move to next blank cell?

I have data on multiple sheets in a workbook that I want copied all to one sheet in that same workbook. When I run the macro, I would like it to start by deleting the current data in the "iPage Data Export" sheet and then replacing it with data from the other sheets.
I want the process to occur one column at a time since I may not bring over everything. Right now I am trying to learn how to do just one column.
I was able to get it to copy all of the contents of a column from one sheet, but when it moves to the next sheet, it overwrites the existing data. In the end, I only get one sheets worth of data copied.
Here are my 4 problems:
How do I make it clear the data on this sheet before running the routine?
How can I make it start each copy function at the bottom of that row (i.e. after the last cell with a value)? I have tried many of the suggestions on this and other boards without success. I will admit I am not very experienced in this.
How can I make it copy to a particular column (currently it just seems to default to A.
How can I concatenate multiple columns during the paste function? I.e. what if I want it to insert: A2&", "B2 instead of just A2
Sub CombineData()
Dim Sht As Worksheet
For Each Sht In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If Sht.Name <> "iPage Data Export" Then
Sht.Select
Range("C:C").Copy
Sheets("iPage Data Export").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Else
End If
Next Sht
End Sub
How do I make it clear the data on this sheet before running the routine?
Sht.Cells.ClearContents
How can I make it start each copy function at the bottom of that row (i.e. after the last cell with a value)? I have tried many of the suggestions on this and other boards without success. I will admit I am not very experienced in this.
Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
In detail:
Rows.Count will return the number of rows in the sheet, so in the legacy style *.xls workbooks this would return the number 65,536. Therefore "C" & Rows.Count is the same as C65536
Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp) is the same as going to C65536 and pressing Ctrl + ↑ - The command End(xlDirection) tells the program to go the last cell in that range. In this case, we would end up at the last cell containing data in column C.
.Offset(1, 0) means that we want to return the range offset by an amount of rows and/or columns. VBA uses RC (Rows Columns) references, so whenever you see something like the Offset() function with two numbers being passed as the arguments, it usually relates to the row, and the column, in that order. In this case, we want the cell that is one row below the last cell we referenced.
All-in-all the phrase Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) means go to the last cell in column C, go up until we hit the last cell with data, and then return the cell below that - which will be the next empty cell.
How can I make it copy to a particular column (currently it just seems to default to A.
Range("C:C").Copy Destination:=Sheets("iPage Data Export").Range("A:A")
You can pass the Destination argument in the same line and actually bypass the clipboard (faster and cleaner)
How can I concatenate multiple columns during the paste function? I.e. what if I want it to insert: A2&", "B2 instead of just A2
Lets say you wanted to reference column A, B, and F - just use:
Range("A1, B1, F1").EntireColumn
To summarise, you could streamline your existing code to something like (untested):
Sub CombineData()
Dim Sht As Worksheet
For Each Sht In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If Sht.Name <> "iPage Data Export" Then
Sht.Range("C1:C" & Cells(Sht.Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Row).Copy Destination:=Sheets("iPage Data Export").Range("A:A")
End If
Next
End Sub
This should do for the copying:
Sub CombineData()
Dim sheet As Worksheet
For Each sheet In Worksheets
If (sheet.Name <> "iPage Data Export") Then
sheet.Select
Range("A1", ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)).Select
Selection.Copy
Worksheets("iPage Data Export").Activate
Cells(1, ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Column + 1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
Next
End Sub
For the concatenation you need to be more specific - but I guess you should open a new question with a clearer focus if you need specific help on that.

Gathering data with VBA from yet to be created worksheets

I have been asked to create summary worksheets for excel files that I don't populate. These are 'monthly' excel files with the worksheets 'usually' named as to the week commencing date. I say 'usually' as a spelling mistake might creep in or such that wont allow the sheet names to be predicted in advance of their creation. The worksheet wont be created until the week in question has begun.
What I am trying to do, though struggling with, is create some VBA code to copy a number of cells and ranges from each worksheet to a summary worksheet which will be hidden. The worksheets all follow the same formatting, the main info being: A1 as the weekstart date, O4 to R4 as 4 summary column headers and N5 to N30 as username info. O5 to R30 then has counts in them depending on the data within the worksheet.
I want to create some code that copies the weekstart date (A1) alongside each username that is not blank (N5:N30) and the values after in the corresponding row. As the column headers in O4 to R4 dont change these can stay static on the summary sheet.
Afraid I dont know too much about vba. I guess I would use Worksheets.Count to find the number of worksheets? Was going to modify the code on here but I dont know how to ensure each row of data goes on a new line in the summary worksheet?
use the ozgrid example but make this alteration:
.Range("A1").
to
.Range("A" & l).
then amend your original post with further questions + the actual code you are using.
I have amended ozgrid code with the following which may be more or less relevant to your query. If you can rephrase your query into a more task1, task2 way, it will then be easy to change the below script into something you want.
The below script just work as a module instead of a worksheet event which is easier to control, just create a sub module and copy paste it there then run it or you can also create a button on the worksheet to run, using developper tab and choose form or activex button linked to the macro SplitWs.
Sub SplitWs()
Dim wSheet As Worksheet, ws As Worksheet
Dim i As Long
Set wSheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
i = 1
With wSheet
.Columns(1).ClearContents
.Cells(1, 1) = "INDEX"
.Cells(1, 1).Name = "Index"
End With
For Each ws In Worksheets
If ws.Name <> wSheet.Name Then
i = i + 1
With wSheet
.Range("A1").Name = "Start_" & wSheet.Index
.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=.Range("A1"), Address:="", _
SubAddress:="Index", TextToDisplay:="Back to Index"
End With
wSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=wSheet.Cells(i, 1), Address:="", _
SubAddress:="Start_" & wSheet.Index, TextToDisplay:=wSheet.Name
End If
Next ws
End Sub
I also change the 'l' variable into 'i' which is easier to read.
Hope it will be of help, else comment with the things to amend.
