Matching and inserting records in excel - vba

I have two sheets of data. One sheet has Primary Id with 4 fields and other has primary Id with 2 fields.
Sheet A Sheet B
ID Name Price Type Category ID Name Price
1 S Normal 2 Aus 500
2 N Default 1 Ind 400
Basically I need to match the ID of both sheets and copy the corresponding Name and Price in sheet A form Sheet B. I have tried the following code,
Sub Copy()
lastrowA = Worksheets("SheetA").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
Set rngA = Range("A2" & lastrowA)
lastrowB = Worksheets("SheetB").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
Set rngB = Range("A2" & lastrowB)
For Each x In rngB
For Each y In rngA
If x.Value() = y.Value Then
' Copy paste name and price form B to A
End If
Next
Next
End Sub

It's never a good idea to use a reserved word as the name of your macro. Particularly so if you plan to use a .Copy operation within the macro.
Sub MyCopy()
Dim lastrowA As Long
With Worksheets("SheetA")
lastrowA = .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
With .Range("B2:C" & lastrowA)
.Formula = "=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A2, 'SheetB'!$A:$C, COLUMN(B:B), FALSE), """")"
.Value = .Value
End With
End With
End Sub
That bulk populates the entire region with the appropriate formula without looping then converts the returned values to raw values. Any non-matches will be blank rather than #N/A errors.

Does it have to be done without using formulas? I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but surely you can just use either a Vlookup or an Index Match?
If entering the formula from VBA:
Cells(2,2).FormulaR1C1 = "=INDEX(Sheet2!R2C2:R3C3,MATCH(RC[-1],Sheet2!RC[-1]:R[1]C[-1],0),1)"
Cells(2,3).FormulaR1C1 = "=INDEX(Sheet2!R2C2:R3C3,MATCH(RC[-2],Sheet2!R2C1:R3C1,0),2)"
Then you can find the last row in the ID column on sheet 1, and fill the formula down both of the columns. Once the formula has been filled down, just copy and paste as values.
Dim lstRow As Long
lstRow = Sheets("Sheet 1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row '' find last row
Range(Cells(2, 2), Cells(lstRow, 3)).FillDown
Range(Cells(2, 2), Cells(lstRow, 3)).Copy
Cells(2, 2).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Edit: You can use the lstRow variable within the VBA formula to make sure the formula is covering the whole range everytime the automation is run. You can use the 'Record Macro' button within excel to get the code for a formula, if you are not comfortable creating them yourself.

The Problem with your code is that
Set rngA = Range("A2" & lastrowA)
evaluates to Range("A25") for lastRowA=5.
If you want to address multiple cells, use
Set rngA = Range("A2:A" & lastrowA)
to get Range("A2:A5") for lastRowA = 5.
Besides that, formulas as already mentioned are an elegant solution as well.

Copy down in column

I have a problem with a part of a bigger VBA Macro, so no; I can not do this another way.
I want to copy a value down in an empty column, but only in as many rows as I have in the worksheet.
I want it to automatically count how many rows that is active in the worksheet and that that row as the last one, but I get stuck and it does not want to do as I want.
Below is the code that I am working with.
Sub Coppy_down()
Range("B3").Formula = "=Mid(A1, 11, 2)"
Range("B3").Value = Range("B3").Value
Range("B3").Copy Range("B3", Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
End Sub
My data looks as this (I did not find how to attach)
A B
1 District: SE
2 Date District
3 8/17/2018
4 8/24/2018
5 8/31/2018
6 9/7/2018
7 9/14/2018
8 9/21/2018
9 9/28/2018
And I want to fill cell B3:B9 with SE, but not that it might be B3:B4 or B3:B15, so it need to be flexible.
Thanks
Find the last populated row of column A, by coming up from the bottom of the sheet, and use that for column B in the "fill down". I have used Right$ in place of your Mid. You could also use Mid$(.Range("A1").Value, 11, 2). The formula steps are unnecessary and can be removed.
Change the sheet name to the appropriate sheet name.
Sub TEST()
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2")
.Range("B3").Formula = "=RIGHT(A1,2)"
.Range("B3").Value = .Range("B3").Value
If .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row > 3 Then
.Range("B4:B" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row) = .Range("B3")
End If
End With
End Sub
You could simplify, my preference, to:
Option Explicit
Public Sub TEST()
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2")
If .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row >= 3 Then
.Range("B3:B" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row) = Right$(.Range("A1"), 2)
End If
End With
End Sub
One slight amendment to QHarr's solution:
You should either force a worksheet.calculate or use a VBA formula when pasting values. If not you will get blanks if the manual recalculation setting is used. For example
Sub Coppy_down()
With Sheet1
.Range("B3", .Range("B" & .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)).Value = Mid(.Range("A1").Value, 11, 2)
End With
End Sub

Column and Row Indexing - VBA

I am trying to write something that does the following in excel macro (VBA):
For 'column X' of 'spreadsheet'
Copy range(row(1):row(5)
Paste to 'other spreadsheet' in range (row(1):row(5)) and column(Y)
And I want that to loop through the first spreadsheet for every column in the spreadsheet. This is what I have for 1 column:
Sheets("Info").Range("B3:B6").Value = Worksheets("Temp").Range("HK5:HK8").Value
Sheets("Info").Range("C3:C6").Value = Worksheets("Temp").Range("HK10:HK13").Value
This is what I want to do, however for every column within the first spreadsheet (there is 300 columns, manually would be tedious).
EDIT: This is another way i have found that may help explain the comments left below:
For i = 2 To 3
Worksheets("Info").Range(Cells(3, i), Cells(6, i)).Value = Worksheets("Temp").Range(Cells(5, i), Cells(8, i)).Value
Next i
I hoping this loops over the columns (2 - 290) currently its only from column 2 to 3 for testing purposes. I want the cells from TEMP worksheet from every column ('i') from row 5-8 and I want to put that into the INFO worksheet in column ('i') rows 3-6. Hope this helps!
Your description isn't consistent and I am not sure what is wrong with your final code. I have left a commented out debug statement so you can see what ranges are being worked with.
But
Use Option Explicit at the top of your code
Make sure to declare i as Long
Switch of ScreenUpdating to speed up performance
Use variables to hold the worksheets
Fully qualify Cells references with their worksheet
Public Sub test()
Dim i As Long
Dim wsInfo As Worksheet
Dim wsTemp As Worksheet
Set wsInfo = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Info")
Set wsTemp = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Temp")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = 2 To 290
' Debug.Print wsInfo.Name & "!" & wsInfo.Range(wsInfo.Cells(3, i), wsInfo.Cells(6, i)).Address & " = " & wsTemp.Name & "!" & wsTemp.Range(wsTemp.Cells(5, i), wsTemp.Cells(8, i)).Address
wsInfo.Range(wsInfo.Cells(3, i), wsInfo.Cells(6, i)).Value = wsTemp.Range(wsTemp.Cells(5, i), wsTemp.Cells(8, i)).Value
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

First blank ("") cell in column with IF formula

I have a macro that exactly copies one sheet's data into another.
Sub QuickViewRegMgmt()
("Reg Management").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Quick View Reg Mgmt").Select
Cells.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End Sub
I would like for this macro to also go to the last non-blank cell in Column C (or first blank, I really don't care either way). I tried simple end/offset code, e.g.
Range("A1").End(xldown).Offset(1,0).Select
My problem, however, is that the direct copy macro also copies the underlying formulas, which for Column C is an IF formula. Therefore, no cell in the column is actually empty, but rather they all have an IF formula resulting in a true/false value (respectively, a "" or VLOOKUP).
=IF(VLOOKUP('Reg Management'!$Y260,'Reg Guidance'!$A:$V,3,FALSE)=0,"",VLOOKUP('Reg Management'!$Y260,'Reg Guidance'!$A:$V,3,FALSE))
That means the end/offset code goes to the last cell in the column with the formula (C1000) instead of going to the first cell that has a value of "" (which is currently C260).
What code can I add to this macro to select the first cell that contains an IF formula resulting in a value of "" ---- which has the appearance of being blank?
After trying to be fancy with SpecialCells(), or using Find() or something I couldn't get it ...so here's a rather "dirty" way to do it:
Sub test()
Dim lastRow As Long, lastFormulaRow As Long
lastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Dim i As Long
For i = lastRow To 1 Step -1
If Cells(i, 1).Formula <> "" And Cells(i, 1).Value = "" Then
lastFormulaRow = i
Exit For
End If
Next i
End Sub
Edit2: Here's one using .SpecialCells(). Granted I think we can whittle this down more, I like it better:
Sub lastRow()
Dim tempLastRow As Long
tempLastRow = Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Dim lastRow As Range
Set lastRow = Columns(3).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas).Find(What:="", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, searchdirection:=xlPrevious, after:=Range("C" & tempLastRow))
Debug.Print lastRow.Row
End Sub
It returns 10 as the row.
Edit: Be sure to add the sheet references before Range() and Cells() to get the last row. Otherwise, it's going to look at your active sheet to get the info.

How to move entire row based on text in a single cell?

I have been searching on the internet where to find the most efficient and simple way of the following:
I have a spreadsheet that contains 3 sheets:
information
training
Leavers
Within the information sheet, column B contains a validation text that is conditionally formatted. There are two validation options:
Active
Leaver
I want that once the cell value is changed from 'active' to 'Leaver' that the whole row would be removed from the sheet and moved to 'Leaver's sheet.
I have used the code below, it works, however if there is no Leavers it will transfer the first row of 'active'. Can anyone tell me what is the problem?
Sub AlexR688(x)
'For http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-q...ific-text.html
'Using autofilter to Copy rows that contain centain text to a sheet called Errors
Dim LR As Long
Range("B2").EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlDown
LR = Sheets("Personal Information").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
LR1 = Sheets("Leavers").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row + 1
With Sheets("Personal Informaiton").Range("B2:C" & LR)
.AutoFilter
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="Leaver", _
Operator:=xlOr, Criteria2:=":Leaver"
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Copy Destination:=Sheets("Leavers").Range("A" & LR1)
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Delete
End With
End Sub
Secondly, I want to make the same in the 'Training' sheet. But in there, column B, contains the same 'Active', 'Leavers' which is referenced from personal information. So, once the Personal information sheet column B is changed from 'active' to 'leaver', training sheet will change as well, but i want the row in the training sheet would be deleted.
Thirdly, if I accidentally moved row from Personal information sheet to Leavers sheet, is it possible that by selecting back to 'active' cell value the row would move back to where it was?
Thank you very much. Hope it is clear enough.
this is the easiest way
Private Sub imperecheaza_Click()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim Rand As Long
Set ws = Worksheets("BD_IR")
Rand = 3
Do While ws.Cells(Rand, 4).Value <> "" And Rand < 65000
If ws.Cells(Rand, 4).Value = gksluri.Value * 1 And ws.Cells(Rand, 5).Value = gksluri.List(gksluri.ListIndex, 1) * 1 Then
ws.Rows(Rand) = "" '(here you will delete entire Row)
gksluri.RemoveItem gksluri.ListIndex
Exit Do
End If
Rand = Rand + 1
Loop
End Sub

VBA: Placing a forumula down a column using a vlookup formula

Below I am attempting to place the formula just to the right of the last column, beginning at row 2. I know the For statement works, as well as the searching for last column/ row as i've used this in a previous macro when placing a formula down a column. The only question I have is how do I make the VLookup formula work properly?
End goal:
1) Forumla on column to the right of last one
2) Vlookup looksup the value in the last column on the given row within the For statement on a tab called "Lookup"
3) On this Lookup tab, column A is where the value will be found, but I need to return the second column value.
Please zero in on the forumula beginning with the "=iferror(...". I currently receive the error, "Application Defined or Object-Defined" error.
EThree = Cells(Rows.Count, 4).End(xlUp).Row
NumThree = Evaluate("=COUNTA(9:9)")
For r = 2 To EThree
Cells(r, NumThree + 2).Formula = "=IFERROR(((Vlookup(" & Cells(r, 14).Value & ",Lookup!$A:$B,2,0)""))))"
Next
You can place your formula in one go; no need to loop.
Try this:
With Sheets("NameOfWorksheet") '~~> change to suit
'~~> first get the last row and column
Dim lrow As Long, lcol As Long
lrow = .Range("D" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
lcol = .Cells(9, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
Dim rngToFillFormula As Range, mylookup As String
'~~> get the lookup value address
mylookup = .Cells(2, lcol).Address(False, False, xlA1)
'~~> set the range you need to fill your formula
Set rngToFillFormula = .Range(.Cells(2, lcol), Cells(lrow, lcol)).Offset(0, 1)
rngToFillFormula.Formula = "=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(" & mylookup & _
",Lookup!A:B,2,0),"""")"
End With
What we did is explained in the comments. HTH.
