I have a worksheet which imports all of my orders, however when creating labels, I only have a limited amount of space for the title. I'm using a Find & Replace Macro in Excel which looks in my current active imported worksheet, and replaces with text from another worksheet which I use as a table with 2 columns, Column A is what the title is when imported and Column B is what I want to change it to. This script works perfectly fine except it doesn't find columns that have a different beginning. For example:
Imported Worksheet:
Entry 1: BANANAS
Entry 2: 30 X BANANAS
Table:
Column A: BANANAS
Column B: Yellow Bananas
//Script Runs//
Output:
Imported Worksheet:
Entry 1: Yellow Bananas
Entry 2: 30 X BANANAS
As you can see in the example above, the "30 X BANANAS" entry does not change to "30 X Yellow Bananas", as I would want it to. I'm guessing I need to add a wildcard line of code to my script below, but I'm not sure how to incorporate it?
Sub FindReplace()
Dim s As String
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Range("H3:H5000").Cells
If cell <> "" Then
ans = Application.VLookup(cell, Sheets("Script").Range("A1:B1000"), 2, 0)
If Not IsError(ans) Then cell = ans
End If
Next cell
End Sub
If you use the Range.Replace function rather than the VLookup function, you will get the result you are looking for.
Before
After
Sub FindNReplace()
Dim InputRng As Range, ReplaceRng As Range
'Set Range Values
Set InputRng = Range("A1:A5")
Set ReplaceRng = Sheets("Script").Range("A1:B100")
'Spin through replacement range and perform replace
For Each Rng In ReplaceRng.Columns(1).Cells
InputRng.Replace what:=Rng.Value, replacement:=Rng.Offset(0, 1).Value
Next
End Sub

I have a Macro that takes data out of 2 reports.
in the second report I have dates that I copy. I need to take a date and subtract from it 14 days
I go to first blank cell in column D, then I want to calculate the formula in column C and scroll down without type how many cells (because it is a macro to a daily basis and the amount of data will change). I want to do this until the end of the data I copied.
In the end I want to copy it as values to column B.
Here is what I have in my code(part of all macro):
'first we go to the buttom of the column
'for NOW - change manually the top of the range you paste to
'Now, paste to OP_wb workbook:
OP_wb.Sheets("Optic Main").Range("D1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial
Paste:=xlPasteValues
' Calculate Due Date to MFG tools
' it means date we copied from MFG daily minus 14 days
_wb.Sheets("Optic Main").Activate
Range("C1").End(xlDown).Offset(1, 0).Activate
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1]-14"enter code here
You need to loop from the first row to the last row. In general, there are plenty of good ways to define the last row of a given column. Once you have done it, replace the value of lngEndRow and run the following code:
Option Explicit
Public Sub TestMe()
Dim lngStartRow As Long: lngStartRow = 1
Dim lngEndRow As Long: lngEndRow = 100
Dim rngMyRange As Range
Dim rngMyCell As Range
With ActiveSheet
Set rngMyRange = .Range(.Cells(lngStartRow, 5), .Cells(lngEndRow, 5))
End With
For Each rngMyCell In rngMyRange
rngMyCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1]-14"
Next rngMyCell
End Sub
Then change the ActiveSheet with the correct sheet and the column hardcoded as 5 with the correct one. Run the code above in an empty Excel, to understand what it does. Then change it a bit, until it matches your needs.
I populated an excel sheet with the locations of blank cells in my sheet using suggestions from this post. So I have a Column A filled with locations in the following format
$X$1 or $X2:$X$4.
What I am trying to do is use those row numbers from the column explain above to populate a separate column. I want to use the row numbers as a reference in what to populate for the column. So a Column B looking something like
=$B$1 or =$B$2:$B$4 (took 1 and 2-4 and used it as row number for reference call)
Both columns are referencing a different sheet so please excuse any column naming.
I'm not sure if this is going to require VBA or if I can get away with just using a formula, I expect VBA due to desired specifics. I've looked at post like this and this. But neither of these fully encompass what I'm looking for. Especially since I want it to express all the contents in a $B$2:$B$4 case.
My intuition on how to solve this problem tells me, parse the string from Column A for the 1st number then check if it's the end of the string. If it is, feed it to the reference that populates Column B, if not then find the 2nd number and go through a loop that populates the cell (would prefer to keep all the content in one cell in this case) with each value for each reverence.
i.e.
=$B2
=$B3
=$B4
My question is how do I go about this? How do I parse the string? How do I generate the loop that will go through the necessary steps? Such as using the number as a reference to pull information from a different column and feed it neatly into yet another column.
If (for example) you have an address of $X2:$X$4 then
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = yourSheetReference.Range("$X2:$X$4")
If you want to map that to the same rows but column B then
Set rng = rng.Entirerow.Columns(2)
will do that. note: it's not so clear from your question whether you're mapping X>>B or B>>X.
Once you have the range you want you can loop over it:
For Each c in rng.Cells
'do something with cell "c"
next c
Something like this should work for you:
Sub Tester()
Dim shtSrc As Worksheet, c As Range, rng As Range, c2, v, sep
Set shtSrc = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1") '<< source data sheet
Set c = ActiveSheet.Range("A2") '<<range addresses start here
'process addresses until ColA is empty
Do While c.Value <> ""
'translate range to (eg) Column X
Set rng = shtSrc.Range(c.Value).EntireRow.Columns(24)
sep = ""
v = ""
'build the value from the range
For Each c2 In rng.Cells
v = v & sep & c2.Value
sep = vbLf
Next c2
c.Offset(0, 1) = v '<< populate in colB
Loop
End Sub
Try this code:
Sub Test()
Dim fRng As Range ' the cell that has the formula
Set fRng = Worksheets("sheet1").Range("A1")
Dim tWS As Worksheet 'the worksheet that has the values you want to get
Set tWS = Worksheets("sheet2")
Dim r As Range
For Each r In Range(fRng.Formula).Rows
'Debug.Print r.Row ' this is the rows numbers
Debug.Print tWS.Cells(r.Row, "N").Value 'N is the column name
Next
End Sub
Column 1 is in Sheet1 and column 2 is in Sheet2. If the value is not found , then highlight that cell. I am trying to do a vlookup comparing two columns. I think the Syntax is incorrect. Please see my code I was trying below:
Option Explicit
Sub VlookupColoums()
' declarations
Dim lookFor As Range
Dim srchRange As Range
Dim I As Long
Dim vtest As Variant
' start
Set lookFor = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A13").End(xlUp)
Set srchRange = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A2").End(xlUp)
vtest = Application.VLookup(lookFor.Rows.Count, srchRange.Rows.Count, 2, False)
' process
For I = 1 To lookFor.Rows.Count
If IsError(vtest) Then
srchRange.Interior.Color = 4
Else
Exit Sub
End If
Next I
End Sub
Assuming you have data on Sheet1!A1:A15 and Sheet2!A1:A10.
Also assuming you want to highlight unique cells (ones withouth at least one identical in the other list) on Sheet2.
Basically you want to format all the cells that if counted on the other list comes up with 0. The steps:
Select all the cells to be evaluated on Sheet2
Go to Home/Styles/Conditional Formatting
Select New Rule, then Use a formula to determine...
Enter this formula: =COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5,A1)=0
Click on the Format button, and set up a formatting for the unique cells
OK
Profit. :)
I have a workbook with "Results" being sheet 3, this being the worksheet I want to use.
I have tried a few formulaes to try and add a macro to do the following:
I have column G with percentages. I then have column I where I would like there to be a result saying TRUE/FALSE where the contents of G are equal to 100%. Column G is formatted to percentage with two decimals.
Some considerations: I have my first row being a Hyperlink to another sheet, then my headings, then the first row of "results". I have 457 rows, if there is a measurement of the range, perhaps it could be on A?
I keep getting this error 9 with my range and have got a bit stuck.
Thanks in advance!
Sub PartialHits1()
Dim rng As Range
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim cell As Range
With Sheet3
lastRow = .Range("G" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = .Range("G1:G" & lastRow)
For Each cell In rng
If cell.Value = 100
Then
cell.Range("I1:I1").Value = 100
End If
Next
End With
End Sub
(I have hacked this a bit, just was trying to get it to set as 100 instead of the TRUE/FALSE Also was playing around near the Sheet 3 part as I got errors.)
RangeVariable.Range can refer only to a cell within RangeVariable, so you can't refer to column I in this way. Try: .Range("I"&cell.row)=100.
Also your criteria is probably wrong, if you have 100% in a cell it's actual value is 1.
And last question: why do you want to do this with VBA, it would be much more simple with worksheet function =IF(G3=1,100,"")
I have a bit of an issue. I have a table with 2 rows and several columns in a tab. One row contains several words and the second row contains the location of where those values should be copied.
For example :
Row 1 Sheet1!$D$1 Sheet5!$F$1 Sheet6$F$1 Sheet3!$D$1
Row 2 apple peer orange sum
So for example, I would like to copy apple to tab : sheet 1 in cell D1.
Is this possible in vba ?
Thanks!!
I will show you one simple example on how to achieve what you want. You will have to amend the code to suit your needs.
The below code is an example for Sheet1!$D$1 and Apple. I am assuming that the values are stored in "Sheet2" in Cell A1 and A2. Also I am not doing any error handling. Hope you will take care of that as well.
Sub Sample()
Dim rng As Range
Dim Sh As String, Cl As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2")
With ws
Sh = Split(.Range("A1").Value, "!")(0)
Cl = Split(.Range("A1").Value, "!")(1)
Set rng = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(Sh).Range(Cl)
rng.Value = .Range("A2").Value
End With
End Sub
