I have really long strings of text saved in roughly 1000 cells down Column A.
I have created the following formula (some VBA included for FindN), placed in cell B1:
=MID($A1,FindN("978",$A1,1),13)
I can copy this formula down Column B just fine. However, I also want to copy this formula across each row, so for example the formulas for the cells across the row should be as follows:
Cell C1: =MID($A1,FindN("978",$A1,2),13)
Cell D1: =MID($A1,FindN("978",$A1,3),13)
Cell E1: =MID($A1,FindN("978",$A1,4),13)
etc...
If I copy the formula in Cell B1 across the row, it will copy across =MID($A1,FindN("978",$A1,1),13) - but I need the "1" to increment by 1 each time.
I think I'd need to adjust the formula slightly, but a bit lost on how to do this...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I should clarify further.
Use COLUMN() - it gives the column number of the current cell. You can offset this as required.
In this case for your incrementing number use COLUMN() - 1, so that in B you have 1, C; 2 etc.
You need use CELL formula to get current column number. Try something like this:
=MID($A1,FindN("978",$A1,CELL("column";A1)+1),13)
I dont have English Excel and im not sure first argument in CELL forumla is "column"
Try this :
Sub Fill()
With Sheets("Sheet1")
For i = 1 To .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
.Cells(i, 1).FormulaR1C1 = "=MID($A1,FindN(" & _
Chr(34) & "978" & Chr(34) & _
",$A1," & i - 1 & "),13)"
Next i
End With
End Sub

I've got a macro that essentially searches column C in Sheet1 for the value "Rec" and copies the corresponding value in column D, then pastes it into the last open cell in column B of Sheet2. It does just what it is supposed to do and is as follows:
Sub FindPasteGSVInNextCell()
Worksheets("Sheet2").Activate
Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = _
WorksheetFunction.VLookup("Rec", Sheet1.Range("C2:H25"), 2, False)
End Sub
I now want the code, instead of just searching for a single "Rec" value, to search for all rows with "Rec" in column C and to sum up all of their corresponding values in column D, then place that sum into Sheet2.
I am assuming that I need some kind of Do Until loop or something, but I am not exactly sure how to format it... I am a beginner with VBA, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
vlookup will not work as it will continue to only grab the first instance of "Rec".
On Sheet 2 list all the possible categories in column A then in column B1 put
= sumif(Sheet1!C:C,A1,Sheet1!D:D)
then copy down. This will Get you the totals by category.
If you want to use VBA, you will still need a list of categories setup somewhere, either hard coded or listed somewhere that you can loop through.
If your list was in column A on Sheet2 then you would:
dim ws as worksheet
set ws = Worksheets("Sheet2")
For each i in ws.range(ws.Range("A1"),ws.Range("A1").offset(xldown)).Cells
i.offset(,1) = WorksheetFunction.Sumif(Worksheets("Sheets1").Range("C:C"), _
i,Worksheets("Sheets1").Range("D:D"))
next i
I have excel worksheet, with two sheets. First one (Worksheet 1) is big table (about 2000 rows), and in second (Worksheet2) I have only about 20 rows.
I need to check, if string in first column in each row in worksheet 1 is already in Worksheet 2, if so, make it green.
Thanks for solutions, both EXCEL or VBA will be appreciated :)
In worksheet 1 you need to create a new column (say column AA) which uses the formula VLOOKUP to find the same data (if it exists) in the other sheet. If is is not found VLOOKUP will return and error #N/A. So you formula will look soemthing like:
IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A2, 'Sheet2'!$SA$1:$X$9999, 3, false)),"NOT FOUND","FOUND")
You would then add conditional formatting to sheet1 column A that references the value in your new column (AA) and sets the colour accordingly.
If you don't know how to use VLOOKUP or get the conditional formatting to work, there are plenty of resource on the internet to help you learn these. eg youtube channel ExcelisFun, WiseOwl.co.uk.
I hope this helps.
PS You do not need to use VBA to do this! In fact using a foumula can be preferable as if a single value changes it can cause the colours to be changed.

If you want to use VBA, try as follow:
Public Sub findDuplicate()
Dim sh1row, sh2Row As Long
For sh1row = 1 To 20 'loop all row from Sheet2 (if more than 20, modify it)
For sh2Row = 1 To 2000 'loop all row from Sheet1 (if more than 2000, modify it)
'If A cell are equal
If Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & sh2Row) = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A" & sh1row) Then
'Change background color to green.
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & sh2Row).Interior.Color = RGB(0, 255, 0)
End If
Next sh2Row
Next sh1row
End Sub
I'm not sure exactly what to call what I'm trying to do, so searching it has been tough. Basically I have a table of equations, each row has a different equations/references a different column, but all of them reference the same range of rows. i.e. Eq. A = average(A200:A400), Eq. B = sum(C200:C400), etc...
From file to file the range of rows changes, so what I want to do is be able to do is enter the start and end rows into cells and have them auto populate the equations. If anyone could tell me how to do it just for one cell and not an entire table, I could figure it out from there.
Thanks!
Sounds like the INDIRECT function would accomplish this. It allows you to enter in text to be interpreted as a cell reference.
For instance, lets say you wanted the range to cover A200:A400 for a given sheet, and you wanted that desginated in cell A1 of that sheet. In cell A1 you would just type in "A200:A400" then, in the actual equations, you would have:
=AVERAGE(INDIRECT(A1))
You can obviously split this further down, but thats the concept of it.
You could create a form with a few text boxes. Enter the start and end row. Then your code could go through and enter the formula.
Something like this.
Dim lRow as long
Dim lEnd as long
lRow = val(txtBoxStartRow.text)
lEnd = val(txtBoxEndRow.text)
ws.Range("A" & lEnd + 1).Formula = "=average(A" & lRow & ":A" & lEnd & ")"
ws.Range("C" & lEnd + 1).Formula = "=average(C" & lRow & ":C" & lEnd & ")"
This should do:
=AVERAGE(INDIRECT(ADDRESS($B$1;ROW())):INDIRECT(ADDRESS($B$2;ROW())))
In that code I'm assuming cells B1 and B2 contain the limits (you can replace these references with hard number), to use your example: B1 = 200 and B2 = 400.
If you then place this code in any row, you'd get average("rowNumber"200:"rowNumber"400).
Address() gives you the right range reference
Indirect() makes a range out of it
Then you can wrap it in whatever function you like.
I'm trying to calculate the sum of my columns (column I). From 1 to the last record in I it has. When I record a macro I get this as output, but this is gibberish to me.
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=SUM(R[-11]C:R[-4]C)"
I found another topic and there they said
LastRow = .Range("I" & .rows.Count).End(xlUp).row
Range("I"&LastRow) = "SUM(I1:I...)"
Except in my case, I can't figure how to enter the lastrow of I in it.
All help is welcome :)
There are two ways of referencing a cell - 'R1C1' and 'A1'. The former works like co-ordinates, with a relative number of rows (R) and cells (C).
The other reference style refers to the cell name on the sheet - B6, F67 etc.
Let's say you want to put your Sum() in cell B1 and LastRow has a value of 6:
ActiveSheet.Range("B1") = "=Sum(I1:I" & LastRow & ")"
Would insert the following function in cell B1:
=SUM(I1:I6)
I have a file that I only want to extract cells B9, B19, B29, etc etc etc in a pattern throughout the entire file. I would preferably like it to be extracted to a different excel file or someway so that I can do stuff with only those cells in another excel worksheet.
Potentially, I may have several excel files that I may need to do this sort of thing so if there were a way where I had the same format throughout a lot of files that I could always extract cells B9, B19, B29 that would be great. any help appreciated
I looking for syntax if possible
EDIT
Was thinking if I could somehow make an excel IF statement saying if Row has a 9 in it and the row is B then print it somewhere but I want it printed in a column
EDIT 2
I just want column B not A like I mentioned before.
B9, B19,B29,B39 through the whole file
Just in case you want to do it with code:
Sub Test()
'Assumes Sheet1 has your values and Sheet2 will be the data extracted from every row ending in 9
Dim iCounter As Long
Dim newSheetRow As Long
Dim aValue As String
Dim bValue As String
newSheetRow = 1
'Start and nine and increment by 10 till you reach end of sheet
For iCounter = 9 To Sheet1.Rows.Count - 1 Step 10 'NOTE: You may not want to do it by RowCount, but just showing you could
aValue = Sheet1.Range("A" & iCounter)
bValue = Sheet1.Range("B" & iCounter)
Sheet2.Range("A" & newSheetRow).Value = "We were on row: " & iCounter
Sheet2.Range("B" & newSheetRow).Value = aValue
Sheet2.Range("C" & newSheetRow).Value = bValue
newSheetRow = newSheetRow + 1
Next iCounter
MsgBox "Done"
End Sub
You could use the INDIRECT function. It takes a cell reference as a text string and returns the value in that cell. So instead of using
=data!a9
to get the value in sheet "data" in cell a9, you use
=indirect("data!a9")
You can also use r1c1 notation, like this:
=indirect("data!r9c1",false)
From there you can use the ROW and COLUMN functions to go in steps of 10:
=INDIRECT("data!r"&-1+10*ROW()&"c"&COLUMN(),FALSE)
If you put this formula in A1 of your output sheet and then copy and paste it down and across, it will give you the values in data!A9, data!A19, data!A29,... in cells A1, A2, A3... Depending on how you want your output arranged, you might have to modify the cell reference string.
Depending on how often you want to do this depends on how you need to do it, if it's a one of them some simple excel commands might help.
e.g.
In Cell C1 put the following:
=MOD(ROW(),10)
then replicate this down to the bottom of your data. the command will return the numbers 1 through to 0. You can then filter the data on column C where value is 9 then select the visible rows and copy the data to a new sheet.
ROW() ' this returns the ROW number of cell the command is in.
MOD(number, divisor) ' this basically divides one number by the other and returns the remainder. so row 9 / 10 = 0 remainder of 9, row 19 / 10 = 1 remainder of 9.
Hope this helps.
