how i can figure the highest number in my array...below is the code...can someone help me to solve my problems...n i wan to show the result in the label from the other windows form....thank u... :
Public Class Frm2
Public Parties(9) As String
Public Votes(9) As String
Dim vote As Integer
Dim Party As String
Party = TParty.Text
vote = TVote.Text
For I As Integer = 0 To Parties.Length - 1
If Parties(I) = "" Then
Parties(I) = TParty.Text()
For J As Integer = 0 To Votes.Length - 1
If Votes(J) = "" Then
Votes(J) = TVote.Text()
MsgBox(TParty.Text & TVote.Text & " votes")
TParty.Clear()
TVote.Clear()
Exit Sub
End If
Next J
End If
Next
MsgBox("you can vote now")
If you want to use an algorithm to find the highest number into an array (let's say Votes), the classic is coming from the so-called Bubble Sort:
Dim max As Long 'change the type accordingly, for example if votes are 1-10 then Integer is better
max = Votes(0) 'set the first vote as the max
For j = 1 To Votes.Length - 1
If Votes(j) >= max Then max = Votes(j) 'if another element is larger, then it is the max
Next j
Now the variable max stores the highest value of the array Votes, that you can show anywhere as, for example, in MyForm.MyLabel.Text = max. More useful info here.
Please note that now you declare Public Votes(9) As String, which means they are strings so not usable as numbers. You might want to declare them with a different data type, or use the CInt() method to convert strings in integers as suggested by ja72.
I thought this would only work with a Variant array, but in quick testing it seems to work with an array of Longs as well:
Dim Votes(9) as Long
Dim Max As Long
Max=WorksheetFunction.Max(Votes)
Note that, as Matteo says, you should change Votes() to an array of numeric types. I'd use Long, as it's a native VBA type.
EDIT: As noted by Dee, the code in this question is actually VB.Net. I added that as a tag. In VBA the solution would be even simpler, as Max is an array property:
Max=Votes.Max
(I suppose it would be a good idea to change the variable name from "Max".)

I have some information in a list (called listLines). Each line below is in a List(Of String).

I'm doing a listLines.sort() on the list to sort it alphabetically. Below is what I get after the .sort().

With that said, I need to output this information to a file. I'm able to do this ok. I still have a problem though. There is a sequence number in the above data at position 5 just after the listed colors (RED, BLUE, ETC..) that you can see. It's just before the last value which is a decimal type.
I need to further sort this list, keeping it in alphabetical order since position 2 is an account number and I want to keep the account numbers grouped together. I just want them to be resorted in sequential order based on the sequence number.
I was looking at another thread trying to figure out how I can do this. I found a piece of code like listLines.OrderBy(Function(q) q.Substring(35)).ToArray. I think this would probably help me if this was a fixed length file, it isn't however. I was thinking I can do some kind of .split() to get the 5th piece of information and sort it but then it's going to unalphabetize and mix the lines back up because I don't know how to specify to still keep it alphabetical.
Right now I'm outputting my alphabetical list like below so I can format it with commas and double quotes.
For Each listLine As String In listLines
strPosition = Split(listLine, "|")
Dim i As Integer = 1
Dim iBound As Integer = UBound(strPosition)
Do While (i <= iBound)
strOutputText = strOutputText & Chr(34) & strPosition(i) & Chr(34) & ","
i += 1
Loop
My main question is how do I re-sort after .sort() to then get each account (position1) in sequential order (position 5)? OR EVEN BETTER, how can I do both at the same time?
The List(Of T) class has an overload of the Sort method that takes a Comparison(Of T) delegate. I would suggest that you use that. It allows you to write a method or lambda expression that will take two items and compare them any way you want. In this case, you could do that like this:
Dim items = New List(Of String) From {"1|This Is just a header",
"3|This Is just a footer",
"2|3456789|0000000|12312312313|BLUE|1|35.00",
"2|7891230|0000000|45645645655|BLUE|1|22.00",
"2|7891230|0000000|45645645658|RED|2|13.00",
"2|3456789|0000000|12312312316|RED|2|45.00",
"2|3456789|0000000|12312312317|YELLOW|5|-9.00",
"2|3456789|0000000|12312312315|ORANGE|3|15.00",
"2|7891230|0000000|45645645659|YELLOW|5|32.00",
"2|3456789|0000000|12312312314|GREEN|4|-20.00",
"2|7891230|0000000|45645645656|GREEN|4|39.00",
"2|7891230|0000000|45645645657|ORANGE|3|-18.50"}
items.Sort(Function(x, y)
Dim xParts = x.Split("|"c)
Dim yParts = y.Split("|"c)
'Compare by the first column first.
Dim result = xParts(0).CompareTo(yParts(0))
If result = 0 Then
'Compare by the second column next.
result = xParts(1).CompareTo(yParts(1))
End If
If result = 0 Then
'Compare by the sixth column last.
result = xParts(5).CompareTo(yParts(5))
End If
Return result
End Function)
For Each item In items
Console.WriteLine(item)
Next
If you prefer a named method then do this:
Private Function CompareItems(x As String, y As String) As Integer
Dim xParts = x.Split("|"c)
Dim yParts = y.Split("|"c)
'Compare by the first column first.
Dim result = xParts(0).CompareTo(yParts(0))
If result = 0 Then
'Compare by the second column next.
result = xParts(1).CompareTo(yParts(1))
End If
If result = 0 Then
'Compare by the sixth column last.
result = xParts(5).CompareTo(yParts(5))
End If
Return result
End Function
and this:
items.Sort(AddressOf CompareItems)
Just note that this is rather inefficient because it splits both items on each comparison. That's not a big deal for a small list but, if there were a lot of items, it would be better to split each item once and then sort based on those results.
In VB.net (Visual Studio 2015) how can I get the nth string (or number) in a comma-separated list?Say I have a comma-separated list of numbers like so:13,1,6,7,2,12,9,3,5,11,4,8,10How can I get, say, the 5th value in this string, in this case 12?I've looked at the Split function, but it converts a string into an array. I guess I could do that and then get the 5th element of that array, but that seems like a lot to go through just to get the 5th element. Is there a more direct way to do this, or am I pretty much limited to the Split function?
In case you are looking for an alternative method, which is more basic, you can try this:
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim a As String = "13,1,6,7,2,12,9,3,5,11,4,8,10"
Dim counter As Integer = 5 'the number you want (in this case, 5th one)
Dim movingcounter As Integer = 0 'how many times we have moved
Dim startofnumber, endofnumber, i As Integer
Dim numberthatIwant As String
Do Until movingcounter = counter
startofnumber = InStr(i + 1, a, ",")
i = startofnumber
movingcounter = movingcounter + 1
Loop
endofnumber = InStr(startofnumber + 1, a, ",")
numberthatIwant = (Mid(a, startofnumber + 1, endofnumber - startofnumber - 1))
Console.WriteLine("The number that I want: " + numberthatIwant)
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
End Module
Edit: You can make this into a procedure or function if you wish to use it in a larger program, but this code run in console mode will give the output of 12.
The solution provided by Plutonix as a comment to my question is straightforward and exactly what I was looking for, to wit:result = csv.Split(","c)(5)In my case I was incrementing a variable each time my program ran and needed to get the nth character or string after the incremented value. That is, if my program had incremented the variable 5 times, then I needed the string after the 4th comma, which of course, is the 5th string. So my solution was something like this:result = WholeString.Split(","c)(IncrementedVariable)Note that this is a zero-based variable.Thanks, Plutonix.
I need to count the number of rows depending on the week and type of the data. I have the excel formula but I want to make it as a VB code yet I don't have that much idea and it is not working.
=IF(AND($N$4="All",$N$5="All"),SUM(('SD'!$I$2:$I$99538='Source'!$B6)*('SD'!$A$2:$A$99538='Source'!C$5)),IF(AND($N$4="All",$N$5<>"All"),SUM(('SD'!$I$2:$I$99538='Source'!$B6)*('SD'!$A$2:$A$99538='Source'!C$5)*('SD'!$B$2:$B$99538='Source'!$N$5)),IF(AND($N$4<>"All",$N$5="All"),SUM(('SD'!$I$2:$I$99538='Source'!$B6)*('SD'!$A$2:$A$99538='Source'!C$5)*('SD'!$K$2:$K$99538='Source'!$N$4)),IF(AND($N$4<>"All",$N$5<>"All"),SUM(('SD'!$I$2:$I$99538='Source'!$B6)*('SD'!$A$2:$A$99538='Source'!C$5)*('SD Raised'!$B$2:$B$99538='Source'!$N$5)*('SD'!$K$2:$K$1048576='Source'!$N$4))))))
I have a sheet where in all datas are captured (SD) and the second one will be the sheet(Source) where i need to count the number of rows available based on the parameter as follow; The week where data belongs and the category of the data.
Edit:
This formula* does not count the data i needed to count. And if possible I want to make it as a VBA code.
This is where the counted data should go. "Weeks are changing depending on the dropdown iput (Max of 4 weeks below from the selected week)"
This image shows the data where i need to capture and count the number of category based on the weeks and category. (Sample only)
I guess, if it's the right point you're hitting DoktorOSwaldo, better use the Range().Rows.Count property rather than scrolling through allRows.
Hope this helps.

so i have to guess a bit what you want, but if you want to Count specific rows in Excel vba you can use something like this:
Dim allRows As Variant
Dim i As Long
Dim count as Long
count = 0
allRows = Tabelle5.Range("A" & start_row, end_column & last_row)
For i = 1 To UBound(allRows)
If allRows(i, 1) = *category* and allRows(i,2) = *week* Then
count = count + 1
End If
Next
To find right range, there are multiple possible solution. I use this, maybe it is not the best, but works fine for me:
Private Function last_row() As Integer
Dim rangeObj As Range
Set rangeObj = Tabelle5.Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious)
If rangeObj Is Nothing Then
last_row = start_row
Else
last_row = rangeObj.row
End If
End Function
Public Function start_row() As Integer
start_row = 2
End Function
I have a vb6 function that will take up to 7 numbers, order them, find a common difference. There will be a gap in this sequence of numbers. I also want to identify the missing number.
Example input is 19,17,20,and 16. The output should be an array 16,17,18,19,20 in this order. Any help? I may be able to interpret vb.net code to vb6, but vb6 is preferred to me.
Here’s an outline of what needs to be done:
Find the smallest and largest number
Create an array with enough entries to hold the full range from the smallest to largest
Fill the array with the numbers from lowest to highest.
Note that you don’t need to sort the numbers at all. You just need to find the extreme values.
Here’s a code outline in VB6:
Function RangeFrom(ParamArray Numbers() As Long) As Long()
Dim Lowest As Long
Dim Highest As Long
Lowest = Numbers(0)
Highest = Numbers(0)
Dim Number As Long
For Each Number In Numbers
If Number < Lowest Then Lowest = Number
If Number > Highest Then Highest = Number
Next
Dim Result(0 To Highest - Lowest) As Long
Dim I As Long
For I = 0 To Highest - Lowest
Result(I) = Lowest + I
Next
FromRange = Result
End Function
Since you have tagged VB.NET as well, this should be convertible to VB6(i've avoided Linq):
Public Shared Function FillGaps(input As Int32()) As Int32()
Dim output = New List(Of Int32)
Array.Sort(input)
' now we'll find the min/max-values at the first/last indices
For i As Int32 = input(0) To input(input.Length - 1)
output.Add(i)
Next
Return output.ToArray()
End Function
Use it in the following way :
Dim intArray = {19, 17, 20, 16}
intArray = FillGaps(intArray)
Note that this approach skips duplicates.

The last element of each line is a price. I would like to add up all the prices. I've been searching for so many hours now and cannot find a thing to answer my question. This seems soooo easy but I cannot figure it out!!! Please help out. BTW, this list is bound to change (adding of lines, deletion of lines, altering of lines) so if you can, please nothing concrete but instead leave the code open to changes. Thanks!!!
Just so you can see my pooooorrrr work, here is what I have (I think I deleted my code and rewrote a different way for several hours now.):
Dim Inv() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines("Books.txt")
Dim t As Integer = Inv.Count - 1
Dim a As Integer = 0 to t
Dim sumtotal As String = sumtotal + Inv(4)
also,
for each line has either an "F" or an "N". how do I add up all the F's and all the N's. Do I do it via if statements?
First, you'll be better off using Double as your type instead of String. Second, observe how I use the Split function on each line, cast its last element as a double, and add it to the total. Yes, using an If Statement is how you can determine whether or not to add to the count of F or the count of N.
Dim lstAllLines As List(Of String) = IO.File.ReadAllLines("Books.txt").ToList()
Dim dblTotal As Double = 0.0
Dim intCountOfF As Integer = 0
Dim intCountOfN As Integer = 0
For Each strLine As String In lstAllLines
Dim lstCells As List(Of String) = strLine.Split(",").ToList()
dblTotal += CDbl(lstCells(3))
If lstCells(2) = "F" Then
intCountOfF += 1
Else
intCountOfN += 1
End If
Next
