Concatenate Only the Visible Rows - vba

I am using the following VBA to concatenate rows with a common ID
Function JoinAll(ByVal BaseValue, ByRef rng As Range, ByVal delim As String)
Dim a, i As Long
a = rng.Value
For i = 1 To UBound(a, 1)
If a(i, 1) = BaseValue Then JoinAll = JoinAll & _
IIf(JoinAll = "", "", delim) & a(i, 3)
Next
End Function
As an example:
ID | Date | Purchase | Concat Value
1 | 3/4/16 | Car | Car, Cap
2 | 5/2/12 | Cat | Cat
1 | 6/2/13 | Cap | Cap
When run, this creates Car, Cap.
However, this is a table with a filter, and once it is filtered to this:
ID | Date | Purchase | Concat Value
1 | 3/4/16 | Car | Car, Cap
2 | 5/2/12 | Cat | Cat
It still shows Car, Cap instead of ignoring that Cap is not visible.
I have seen this answer, but don't see how to make it work with my current VBA:
Excel VBA Concatenate only visible cells of filtered column. Test code included
UPDATE:
Using this I am getting only the visible items joined, but I need it to return the values in column 3. This only returns the values in column 1:
Function JoinAll(ByVal BaseValue, ByRef rng As Range, ByVal delim As String)
For Each a In rng
If a = BaseValue And a.EntireRow.Hidden = False Then
JoinAll = JoinAll & IIf(JoinAll = "", "", delim) & a
End If
Next a
End Function

This works. There is a typo/bug in your original code as a=rng.value, so a should be rng when considering the hidden rows.
Function JoinAll3(ByVal BaseValue, ByRef rng As Range, ByVal delim As String)
Dim a, i As Long
a = rng.Value
For i = 1 To UBound(a, 1)
If a(i, 1) = BaseValue And rng(i, 1).EntireRow.Hidden = False Then
JoinAll3 = JoinAll3 & IIf(JoinAll3 = "", "", delim) & a(i, 3)
End If
Next
End Function

Have you tried something like:
For each val in rng.Columns(3).Cells
If val = BaseValue And val.EntireRow.Hidden = False Then
JoinAll = JoinAll & IIf(JoinAll = "", "", delim) & val
End If
Next val

How to find latest entry for each group and display in a separate sheet in Excel

Since I am new to VBA excel, I don’t have a clue of how to tackle the following issue.
I have created a user entry form with which users can enter project details. Whenever project details need to be updated, this user entry form can be used.
These entries will be stored in another sheet called “Project Update History”. This list contains all the update entries for every project (as shown in the table below).
/--------------------------------------------------------------\
| | EntryDate | Project Name | Project ID | Status |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1 | 01.02.2018 | ABC | P001 | text |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| 2 | 01.02.2018 | CDE | P002 | text |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| 3 | 15.02.2018 | CDE | P002 | text |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| 4 | 16.02.2018 | FGH | P003 | text |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| 5 | 08.08.2018 | ABC | P001 | text |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| 6 | 09.09.2019 | FGH | P003 | text |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| 7 | 14.09.2019 | FGH | P003 | text |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| 8 | 12.12.2019 | CDE | P002 | text |
\--------------------------------------------------------------/
enter image description here
As you can imagine, there are hundreds of entries and it’s quite difficult to get an overview. Ideally, there is a list in a separate sheet with latest project status only. (see table below)
/--------------------------------------------------------------\
| | EntryDate | Project Name | Project ID | Status |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1 | 08.08.2018 | ABC | P001 | text |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| 2 | 14.09.2019 | FGH | P003 | text |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
| 3 | 12.12.2019 | CDE | P002 | text |
\--------------------------------------------------------------/
enter image description here
In order to get this, I already tried different options such as using “filters” or “array formulas”. However, both were rather dissatisfactory.
Filters were not really helpful, as I want to see all the projects at once (but just the most recent project updates).
Array formulas actually gave me the output, I wanted … but the excel file became very slow.
(To get the latest entry date {=MAX(IF(‘Project Update History’!C:C=C4,’Project Statuses’!B:B,0))}
(To get the corresponding entry details an INDEX Match formula.)
So the only way, I could avoid this problem is to use macros. My idea is to have a button that will search for the latest status of each project and display in a sheet… but I really don’t know how to code this… Maybe someone else has also encountered this issue and found a solution for it? I would really apprecitate any help from you. :)
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Here is one way using arrays. Depending on the size of your data you may hit a limit with Transpose, in which case I can re-write part of the solution.
I have used "," delimiter to keep track of separate column items when concatenating together.You may wish to swop this with a symbol you do not expect to find in your data to ensure you do not end up with unexpected results.
Change the value here, Const DELIMITER As String = "," , if changing the delimiter.
Option Explicit
Public Sub GetLastDateInfo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Const DELIMITER As String = ","
Dim arr(), resultsArr(), dict As Object, i As Long, currDate As Long, ws As Worksheet, headers()
headers = Array("Entry Date", "Project Date", "Project ID", "Status")
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1"): Set dict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
arr = ws.Range("A2:D" & GetLastRow(ws, 1)).Value
ReDim resultsArr(1 To UBound(arr, 1), 1 To UBound(arr, 2))
For i = LBound(arr, 1) To UBound(arr, 1)
currDate = CLng(CDate(Replace$(arr(i, 1), ".", "-")))
If Not dict.Exists(arr(i, 2) & DELIMITER & arr(i, 3)) Then
dict.Add arr(i, 2) & DELIMITER & arr(i, 3), currDate & DELIMITER & arr(i, 4)
ElseIf Split(dict(arr(i, 2) & DELIMITER & arr(i, 3)), DELIMITER)(0) < currDate Then
dict(arr(i, 2) & DELIMITER & arr(i, 3)) = currDate & DELIMITER & arr(i, 4)
End If
Next i
Dim key As Variant, r As Long, tempArr() As String
For Each key In dict.keys
r = r + 1
tempArr = Split(dict(key), DELIMITER)
resultsArr(r, 1) = tempArr(0)
resultsArr(r, 4) = tempArr(1)
tempArr = Split(key, DELIMITER)

VBA/Formula, Mapping among sheets

I have a code that I am having trouble running on excel 2013. 2010 works fine.
I've been contemplating just doing formulas because I cannot get this to work.
Here is the logic
Only fill values in sheet X if this condition exists: In Sheet A , If column a = value 1 , value 2, or value 3
and column b <> value 4, <> value 5
Then lookup headers from sheet X into sheet Y. These headers will be in sheet Y column c.
for the headers that are matched to sheet Y col c, find like data of sheet X. column c, and sheet Y. column d. Going to use these as lookup for next column in sheet Y. For where there are mismatches use 'OTHERS' as value.
for matched headers/columns return sheet Y column e (value) and multiply by sheet X. column d. minus one.
return all these values to sheet a where the headers are like.
Sheet X (below formulas in stack and overflow cols would actually be calculated)
+-------------+-------------+------------+-------+-----------------+-------------+
| conditions | condition 2 | currency | value | stack | overflow |
+-------------+-------------+------------+-------+-----------------+-------------+
| value 1 | value 10 | USD | 100 | 100 * (.75 - 1) | |
| value 2 | value 7 | XRP | 200 | 200 * (.50 - 1) | |
| value 3 | value 8 | USD | 300 | | 300*(.65-1) |
| value 1 | value 9 | XRP | 400 | | 400*(.24-1) |
+-------------+-------------+------------+-------+-----------------+-------------+
Sheet Y
+----------+----------+--------+
| header | currency | value |
+----------+----------+--------+
| stack | USD | .75 |
| stack | OTHER | .50 |
| overflow | USD | .65 |
| overflow | OTHER | .24 |
+----------+----------+--------+

Here is a formula only solution, using a helper column to lookup 2 criteria (header & column) at once:
Add a helper column in Sheet Y column E like shown below. Use the following formula in E:
=C:C&D:D
Use the following formula in E2 and copy it down and right:
=IF(AND(OR($A:$A="value 1",$A:$A="value 2",$A:$A="value 3"),$B:$B<>"value 4",$B:$B<>"value 5"),$D:$D*(IFNA(VLOOKUP(E$1&$C:$C,'Sheet Y'!$E:$F,2,FALSE),VLOOKUP(E$1&"OTHER",'Sheet Y'!$E:$F,2,FALSE))-1),"")
The calculation part of the formula
$D:$D*(IFNA(VLOOKUP(E$1&$C:$C,'Sheet Y'!$E:$F,2,FALSE),VLOOKUP(E$1&"OTHER",'Sheet Y'!$E:$F,2,FALSE))-1)
looks up a combination of "header" and column C in the helper column. If it finds the combination it returns its value if not it looks up a combination of "header" and "OTHER" and returns its value to perform the calculation.
The IF(AND(OR part is the condition of your point 1 in your question.
the loop gets slow because it's too much interaction between excel and VBA. Put the entire loop within the VBA , filling in the 2D array and dump the result out like so:
Sheets(1).cells(1,1).Resize(Ubound(arr2D),Ubound(arr2D,2)).value2 = arr2D
on the contrary, quicksort call is probably slow in VBA, so it may make sense to sort in Excel AFTER the array is pasted back to a sheet using native Range.Sort method.

VBA - Count Rows then in Column C then fill Columns A, B and P with Equations

I have 5 columns. Column C "Account" and column D "Person" are my data set.
I want to use VBA to look at how many rows of data I have and then fill that number of rows in 1) Column E "Concatenate" with a concatenate of "Account" and "Employee" fill that number of rows in 2) columns A and B with an INDEX-MATCH equation I have.
..I tried to draw out my columns below but it isn't formatting in the way I'd like it to be... sorry

Changing two tables into a matrix

I have 2 spreadsheets with the data below.
Name | System 1 | System 2 | System 3 |
John | x | x | |
James| | x | x |
Peter| | x | |
Name | Process A | Process B | Process C |
John | | x | |
James| x | | x |
Peter| x | | x |
Are there any ways in VBA I can do to merge these two lists in a matrix format as below?
| Process A | Process B | Process C |
System 1 | | John | |
System 2 | James, Peter | John | James, Peter |
System 3 | James | | James |

Creating a unique entry for each line item in Excel

I need help in creating a macro in Excel wherein it grabs a certain cell and copies the entire row x number of times depending on the cell's contents.
To make it clear, let's say I have 2 rows:
| Order # | Item | Qty |
| 30001 | bag | 3 |
| 30002 | pen | 1 |
What I want the macro to do is grab the number under the Qty column and copy the entire row and insert a new line with the exact same contents under it. The number of times it does this depends on the number in the Qty cell. Also, it appends a three digit number in the Order # cell to make it a unique reference point. What the end-result should be:
| Order # | Item | Qty |
| 30001-001 | bag | 1 |
| 30001-002 | bag | 1 |
| 30001-003 | bag | 1 |
| 30002-001 | pen | 1 |
It's hard to explain it here but I hope you get the point. Thanks in advance, gurus!
The following code supports blank lines in the middle of the data.
If Qty = 0, it won't write the Item in the output table.
Please insert at least 1 row of data, because it won't work if there is no data :)
Option Explicit
Sub caller()
' Header at Row 1:
' "A1" = Order
' "B1" = Item
' "C1" = Qty
'
' Input Data starts at Row 2, in "Sheet1"
'
' Output Data starts at Row 2, in "Sheet2"
'
' Sheets must be manually created prior to running this program
Call makeTheThing(2, "Sheet1", "Sheet2")
End Sub
Sub makeTheThing(lStartRow As Long, sSheetSource As String, sSheetDestination As String)
Dim c As Range
Dim rOrder As Range
Dim sOrder() As String
Dim sItem() As String
Dim vQty As Variant
Dim sResult() As String
Dim i As Long
' Reads
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets(sSheetSource)
Set rOrder = .Range(.Cells(lStartRow, 1), .Cells(.Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row, 1)) ' It will work if there are blank lines in the middle!
i = rOrder.Rows.Count
ReDim sOrder(1 To i)
ReDim sItem(1 To i)
ReDim vQty(1 To i)
i = 1
For Each c In rOrder
sOrder(i) = Trim(c.Text)
sItem(i) = Trim(c.Offset(0, 1).Text)
vQty(i) = c.Offset(0, 2).Value
i = i + 1
Next c
End With
' Processes
sResult = processData(sOrder, sItem, vQty)
' Writes
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(sSheetDestination).Range("A" & lStartRow).Resize(UBound(sResult, 1), UBound(sResult, 2)).Value = sResult
End Sub
Function processData(sOrder() As String, sItem() As String, vQty As Variant) As String()
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim k As Long
Dim sResult() As String
j = WorksheetFunction.Sum(vQty) ' That's why vQty had to be Variant!
ReDim sResult(0 To j, 1 To 3)
k = 0
For i = 1 To UBound(sOrder)
For j = 1 To vQty(i)
sResult(k, 1) = sOrder(i) & "-" & Format(j, "000")
sResult(k, 2) = sItem(i)
sResult(k, 3) = "1"
k = k + 1
Next j
Next i
processData = sResult
End Function
I hope it helps you. I had fun making it!
One way: Walk down the qty column inserting as needed then jumping to the next original row;
Sub unwind()
Dim rowCount As Long, cell As Range, order As String, i As Long, r As Long
Set cell = Range("C1")
rowCount = Range("C" & rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To rowCount
order = cell.Offset(0, -2).Value
For r = 0 To cell.Value - 1
If (r > 0) Then cell.Offset(r).EntireRow.Insert
cell.Offset(r, 0).Value = 1
cell.Offset(r, -1).Value = cell.Offset(0, -1).Value
cell.Offset(r, -2).Value = order & "-" & Format$(r + 1, "000")
Next
Set cell = cell.Offset(r, 0)
Next
End Sub
