I have searched the forums but I am really struggling to get part of my code to work. Basically the idea is to search sheet 1 and copy one or more columns depending on the criteria to a specific worksheet.
i.e. if sheet 1 columns 1 and 3 contain "copy 01" then copy both columns to a sheet 2 and if sheet 1 columns 2 and 4 contain "copy 02" then copy both columns to a sheet 3 etc.
I can count rows fine using the code, but can't count columns. Seems to relate to not fiding the column range but I have no ideas to fix this! Any help would be much appreciated.
'Row
Dim NR As Long
Dim d As Variant
d = ws1.Range("A1:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row).Value
For NR = 1 To UBound(d, 1)
'column
Dim NC As Long
Dim e As Variant
e = ws1.Range(Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column).Value
For NC = 1 To UBound(e, 1)
Thanks,
Stewart
You want this:
e = range("A1:" & split(cells(1,cells(1,columns.Count).end(xlToLeft).column).address(true,false), "$")(0) & "1").Address
The cells(1, columns.count).end(xlToLeft).column) gets the last column number (for example 13 for 'M').
Putting this into cells(1, lastcolNum) gets a cell that represents the cell in the first row of this column (for example Cell M1).
The address(true, false) method gets the cell reference with a dollar sign before the row but not before the column letter (for example "M$1"
The split function returns an array which splits the input string by the "$" character (for example array - ("M","1")
The (0) returns the 0th element in the returned array (for example "M")
Then putting this into the range function returns the range (for example) "A1:M1"
I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do with the UBound function here. It would make more sense to make
e = cells(1,columns.count).end(xlToLeft).column
and then loop through
For N = 1 To e
As this will loop through each column.

I'm trying to have a program that can read a range of cells which consist of 12 cells (let's say: P79, R79, T79, V79, X79, Z79, AB79, AD79, AF79, AH79, AJ79, AL79) and under those cells there are 6 cells (let's say: V81, X81, Z81, AB81, AD81, AF81), the program is looking for whether or not there are values typed in the cells within the described range.
The program should be able to read the cells from left to right on the top row and loop down to the bottom row and read that from right to left.
If all the cells in the top row have values in them, then the program breaks and doesn't read the values in the bottom row.
As the program reads the values from each cell it should create a table consisting of three columns (let's say: M88, N88, O88), the leftmost column should have the cell number (in order of cell as read by the program (whichever cell has a value first in the loop is given the number 1 and then the next cell to have a value is given number 2 etc.). The middle column should have whatever value is written in it's corresponding cell read from the range. The right column should have the value of whatever is to the right of each cell containing a value.
The first value to be read with a value should give the value "Left End" and the last value to read (whether or not it is the 12th cell to have a value in the top row or the leftmost cell to have a value in the bottom row) should give the value "Right end".
An example of what a row from the table could look like:
Cell # Cell Value Position/Left/Right
1 First Left End
This is the code I have so far:
Sub Code()
Dim wb As Workbook: Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = wb.Sheets("Sheet1")
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, k As Integer
' First loop to compare a car to the rest after it
For i = 1 To 12
For j = i + 1 To 12
If Not IsEmpty(ws.Range("Cell_" & i)) And Not IsEmpty(ws.Range("Cell_" & j)) Then
ws.Range("B82").Offset(i).Value = j
Exit For
End If
Next j
Next i
' Loop backwards to find "Right End"
For k = 12 To 2 Step -1 '24 To 2
If Not IsEmpty(ws.Range("Cell_12")) Then
ws.Range("B82").Offset(12).Value = "Right End"
Exit For
' Has the "Right End" Follow when cars are left blank for lower row
ElseIf IsEmpty(ws.Range("Cell_" & k)) And Not IsEmpty(ws.Range("Cell_" & k - 1)) Then
ws.Range("B82").Offset(k - 1).Value = "Right End"
Exit For
End If
Next k
What I have here merely inserts a count into a cell range, what I'm trying to do is have my code actually read the cells in the range in the order I described and one at a time look at which cells have values written in them and look at which cells (with values in them) are to the right of any cell with a value and produce the table described above.
After reading your explanation, which was quite challenging I tried to recreate what you are asking.
I used cells A1:L1 with numbers 1 to 12. in the row below that A2:L2, some numbers have been added. with an if value <> "" you can see which cells contain a value.
In the second worksheet the table is made:
Sub test()
Dim a As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim name As String
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1).Activate
a = 1
For i = 1 To endcel
If Sheets(1).Range("a1").Offset(a, i - 1).Value <> "" Then
name = Sheets(1).Range("A1").Offset(a, i - 1).Value
Sheets(2).Activate
Sheets(2).Range("b2").Offset(i).Value = name
End If
Next i
End Sub
Does this help? You can adapt it a bit to your problem.
Good luck!
I have a worksheet that uses randomly generated numbers in calculations to produce results in two adjacent cells (let's say A1 and A2). I am trying to perform 100 iterations where I'm simply "Calculating Formulas" on the worksheet and then trying to store the results of each iteration next to A1 and A2 (so iteration 1 would be in B1 and B2 and iteration 100 would be in CW1 and CW2). Thanks in advance for your help. Using Excel 2010 if that matters.
Dim Iteration As Integer, i As Integer
Dim val As Variant
Iteration = 100
For i = 1 To Iteration
Calculate
Range("A1:A2").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(x1Up).Offset(0, 1).PasteSpecial
Paste:=xlPasteValues
Next i
End Sub
I think your major problem was with the location you were selecting for the destination address - you were finding the last unused cell in column B, then shifting over one column (i.e. to column C) and pasting the first set of results. Then you were using that same location for the second set of results, etc.
Sub Test()
Dim Iteration As Integer, i As Integer
Dim val As Variant
Iteration = 100
'Use a "With" block so that it can be easily changed in the future
'to refer to a specific sheet if needed
With ActiveSheet
For i = 1 To Iteration
Calculate
'Determine the last used column on row 1,
' offset 1 column to the right,
' resize to refer to 2 rows,
' set values to the values in A1:A2
.Cells(1, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, 1).Resize(2, 1).Value = .Range("A1:A2").Value
Next i
End With
End Sub
As pointed out by Steve Lovell, you also had a typo in your original code. It is a good habit to include Option Explicit as the first line in every code module. That will force you to declare all the variables that you use, and the compiler would have highlighted x1Up and given a "Variable not defined" error.
I have an excel file which has column B1 to B500 (may vary) filled with numbers. For example:
I need the output to be like:
I have this much code till now:
Sub Max()
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim cl As Excel.Range
i = 1
j = 1
For i = sheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
cl = sheet.Cells(i, 2) '## Examine the cell in Column B
If xl.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(sheet.Range("B:B"), cl.Value) > 1 Then
cl.Value = sheet.Cells(j, 3).value 'copy to Column C
End If
j = j + 1
Next i
End Sub
What this code does is to find duplicates in column B and remove other entries from the column. Nothing gets written in column C. I want the column B to be unedited at the end. Also cannot figure out how to achieve the sorting here.
Please help.
Well, you could use formulas if you want too:
It is very important to use array formulas (Ctrl+Shift+Enter when done editing the cell), my Excel is an Spanish Version, so you just need to change:
- SI by IF
- CONTAR.SI by COUNT.IF
I came up with this solution thinking about the bubble sort algorithm. I hope this will be useful for you.
Hi I am using VB to populate data in excel. In the sheet, the column G has many cells with same numbers(and they are repeated without following any pattern). First I would like to find which entries are not unique and then keep the first occurrence in the column & delete the entire rows where repetitions are encountered. Here's an example:
As can be seen from the image, in the column G, numbers 1000 & 2200 are repeated. So need to delete entire rows 3 and 6 (keeping rows 1 & 2 where 1000 & 2200 appear first).
Here's the code which I can't get to work:
Sub Dupli()
Dim i As Long, dic As Object, v As Object
dic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
i = 1
For Each v In sheet.UsedRange.Rows
If dic.exists(v) Then sheet.Rows(v).EntireRow.Delete() Else dic.Add(v, i)
i = i + 1
Next v
End Sub
Try something like this. I don't think you need a dictionary (unless there is some other need for it elsewhere in your code). When deleting objects, it's usually necessary to iterate backwards over the collection. This method just uses the CountIf function to test whether the cell value in column G of a specific row occurs more than once in all of column G, and deletes the row if that condition is true.
Sub Dupli()
Dim i As Long
Dim cl as Range
i = 1
For i= sheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count to 1 Step -1
Set cl = sheet.Cells(i,7) '## Examine the cell in Column G
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(sheet.Range("G:G"),cl.Value) > 1 Then
sheet.Rows(i).EntireRow.Delete
Next
End Sub
Put this in H1:
=COUNTIF(G$1:G1;G1)
Fill down to end
Make an autofilter on column G
Filter out values of 1
Select the remaining rows by row header
Right click on row header > click Delete ...
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.
