Logical error comparing two ranges cells values - vba

This program aims to compare two named ranges in two sheets. If the cells values are found in both sheets it highlights cells in green otherwise in red.
In my code below, I get a logical error.
I compare the results in the two sheets manually but I get totally different results.
Public Sub FindBtn_Click()
range1Name = namedRange1TxtBox
range2Name = namedRange2TxtBox
sheet1Name = Sheet1txt
sheet2Name = Sheet2txt
Dim range1No(), range2No() As Variant
range1No() = Range(range1Name)
range2No() = Range(range2Name)
Dim i, j As Integer
Dim cell As Variant 'Range
For i = LBound(range1No()) To UBound(range1No())
For j = LBound(range2No()) To UBound(range2No())
Set cell = Worksheets(sheet1Name).Range(range1Name).Find(what:=Worksheets(sheet2Name).Range(range2Name).Cells(i, 1).Value, lookat:=xlWhole)
If Not cell Is Nothing Then ' if jde cell value is found in tops then green jde cell
Worksheets(sheet1Name).Range(range1Name).Cells(i, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 4
Else
Worksheets(sheet1Name).Range(range1Name).Cells(i, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
Application.StatusBar = "Progress: " & i & " of " & UBound(range1No()) '& Format(i / 9331, "%")
Next j
Next i

Without spending a while on in, I'm not too sure what's actually wrong with your code. But how about doing it this way (I substituted strings in the variables so I could make it work locally).
Public Sub FindBtn_Click()
range1Name = "firstrange"
range2Name = "secondrange"
sheet1Name = "Sheet1"
sheet2Name = "Sheet2"
Dim range1cell As Range
Dim range2cell As Range
For Each range1cell In Range(range1Name)
range1cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
For Each range2cell In Range(range2Name)
If range1cell.Value = range2cell.Value Then
range1cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
Exit For
End If
Next range2cell
Next range1cell
End Sub
On looking closer, I notice that while you're looping through values of j you don't seem to refer to j anywhere else.

the following code solved my problem basicly I don't know how to use the find function properly. below a code that does the job :)
Thanks :)
Dim cell1 As Range, cell2 As Range
Dim add1 As Variant
With Worksheets("JDE").Range("JS_No")
For Each cell2 In Worksheets("TOPS").Range("TechID")
Set cell1 = .Find(cell2, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not cell1 Is Nothing Then
add1 = cell1.Address
Do
cell1.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
cell2.Interior.ColorIndex = 4
Application.StatusBar = "Processing: " & add1
Loop While Not cell1 Is Nothing And cell1.Address <> add1
End If
Next cell2
End With

Two Strings won't concatenate VBA Excel

I am writing a little Excel-Macro with VBA. Now I would like to concat two Strings and save them into a String-Array.
What I got:
Dim rowNumberString As String
Dim colIndexString As String
Dim headerArray(1 To colIndexArrayRange) As String
colIndexNumber = 14
colCount = 5
rowNumberString = "12"
addAnotherColumnToArray = True
' Fill the column array with all the month's entries
While addAnotherColumnToArray
colCount = colCount + 1
colIndexNumber = colIndexNumber + 1
If colIndexArray(colCount) = "" Then
colIndexString = Split(Cells(1, colIndexNumber).Address(True, False), "$")(0)
colIndexArray(colCount) = colIndexString & rowNumberString
End If
Debug.Print colCount & "=" & colIndexArray(colCount)
If (colIndexNumber > 61) Then
addAnotherColumnToArray = False
End If
Wend
The output:
6=O
7=P
8=Q
9=R
10=S
11=T
12=U
' ....
So it seems that this line:
` colIndexArray(colCount) = colIndexString & rowNumberString`
is not concatenating the String the way it should. What did I do wrong? I thought the &-Operator would always work for Strings in VBA.
As I stated in my comment, you could be going about this in a completely different way.
Not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but a For...Next statement using Objects, rather than Strings should help you accomplish your task.
Option Explicit
Sub TEST()
Dim ws As Worksheet, Rng12 As Range, Cell As Range
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
Set Rng12 = ws.Range("L12:Z12") 'Adjust your range
For Each Cell In Rng12
Debug.Print Cell.Address
Next Cell
End Sub

VBA: adding up irregular ranges

I need some help to create a macro which adds all the values on the column E between the rows with the "avg" word. the result should be displayed on the cells where the "Sum here" label is displayed. Both texts "avg" and "sum here" is just for illustrate the example, "avg" could be replaced by any other word and "sum here" should actually be the aggregation of the values above it.
The real challenge is that the number of ranges on column E is variable, so i would like to find a macro which is able to deal with "n" number of ranges on column E.
Finally, the values on column D are only the example of the expected value on the "sum here" cells.
This is what I have tried to far:
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
Dim sumhere As Range
Dim startingpoint As Range
Dim endingpoint As Range
'
Range("C17").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
If ActiveCell = "avg" Then
ActiveCell.Offset(rowoffset:=0, columnoffset:=2).Select
Set sumhere = ActiveCell
Set startingpoint = ActiveCell.Offset(rowoffset:=-1, columnoffset:=0)
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
If (ActiveCell.Value) = "Sum here" Then
Set endingpoint = ActiveCell.Offset(rowoffset:=1, columnoffset:=0)
sumhere.Formula = "=sum(range(startingpoint:endingpoint)"
Else
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
If (ActiveCell.Value) = "Sum here" Then
Set endingpoint = ActiveCell.Offset(rowoffset:=1, columnoffset:=0)
sumhere.Formula = "=Sum(Range(startingpoint.adress:endingpoint.adress))"
Else: End If
End If
End If
End Sub
Additionally, as you can see, I do not know, how to define a range using variables. My original idea was to combine this code with some kind of "do while" or/and "for i= 1 to x" and "next i". But I can't see how to combine it.
Using formula only, and providing that column A only has avg (or any text) on each subtotal row.
I've given two versions of the formula - the volatile version (updates everytime you change anything on the spreadsheet), and the non-volatile version (only updates if it needs to).
The formula should be entered on row 6 - change the $E6 to which ever row you need.
(volatile)
=SUM(OFFSET($E6,IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/($A$1:INDEX($A:$A,ROW()-1)<>""),ROW($A$1:INDEX($A:$A,ROW()-1))),0)-ROW()+1,,ROW()-1-IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/($A$1:INDEX($A:$A,ROW()-1)<>""),ROW($A$1:INDEX($A:$A,ROW()-1))),0)))
(non volatile):
=SUM(INDEX($E:$E,IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/($A$1:INDEX($A:$A,ROW()-1)<>""),ROW($A$1:INDEX($A:$A,ROW()-1))),0)+1):INDEX($E:$E,ROW()-1))
or if you don't mind using a helper column:
In cell B6:
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/($A$1:INDEX($A:$A,ROW()-1)<>""),ROW($A$1:INDEX($A:$A,ROW()-1))),0)
In E6: (volatile)
=SUM(OFFSET($E6,$B6-ROW()+1,,ROW()-1-$B6))
or (non volatile):
=SUM(INDEX($E:$E,$B6):INDEX($E:$E,ROW()-1))
Edit:
Thought I'd add a UDF to calculate it to if you're after VBA.
Use the function =AddSubTotal() in the rows you want the sub total to be shown in, or use =AddSubTotal("pop",6) to sum everything in column F (col 6) using "pop" rather than "avg".
Public Function AddSubTotal(Optional Delim As String = "avg", Optional ColNumber = 5) As Double
Dim rCaller As Range
Dim rPrevious As Range
Dim rSumRange As Range
Set rCaller = Application.Caller
With rCaller.Parent
Set rPrevious = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(rCaller.Row - 1, 1)).Find(Delim, , , , , xlPrevious)
If Not rPrevious Is Nothing Then
Set rSumRange = rPrevious.Offset(1, ColNumber - 1).Resize(rCaller.Row - rPrevious.Row - 1)
Else
Set rSumRange = .Range(.Cells(1, ColNumber), .Cells(rCaller.Row - 1, ColNumber))
End If
End With
AddSubTotal = WorksheetFunction.Sum(rSumRange)
End Function
The following VBA routine assumes that
your data is in Columns C:E
Nothing else relevant (nothing numeric) in that range
Your "key word" where you want to show the sum is avg
avg (the key word) is hard-coded in the macro
You could easily modify this routine to also perform an average of those values, and put those results, for example, in Column D
Any of the above are easily modified
Option Explicit
Sub TotalSubRanges()
Dim vSrc As Variant, rSrc As Range
Dim dAdd As Double
Dim I As Long
Const sKey As String = "avg"
Set rSrc = Range(Cells(1, "C"), Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp)).Resize(columnsize:=3)
vSrc = rSrc
'Do the "work" in a VBA array, as this will
' execute much faster than working directly
' on the worksheet
For I = 1 To UBound(vSrc, 1)
If vSrc(I, 1) = sKey Then
vSrc(I, 3) = dAdd
dAdd = 0
Else
If IsNumeric(vSrc(I, 3)) Then dAdd = dAdd + vSrc(I, 3)
End If
Next I
'write the results back to the worksheet
' and conditionally format the "sum" cells
With rSrc
.EntireColumn.Clear
.Value = vSrc
.Columns(3).AutoFit
.EntireColumn.ColumnWidth = .Columns(3).ColumnWidth
.FormatConditions.Delete
.FormatConditions.Add _
Type:=xlExpression, _
Formula1:="=" & .Item(1, 1).Address(False, True) & "=""" & sKey & """"
With .FormatConditions(1)
.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End With
End With
End Sub
Surely you just need something like:
Sub sums()
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, k As Integer
j = Range("C1048576").End(xlUp).Row
k = 1
For i = 1 To j
If Range("C" & i).Value <> "" Then
Range("E" & i).Value = "=Sum(E" & k & ":E" & i - 1 & ")"
k = i + 1
End If
Next i
End Sub
Change:
Dim startingpoint As Range
Dim endingpoint As Range
To:
Dim startingpoint As Variant
Dim endingpoint As Variant
As the startingpoint and endingpoint is used in a formula, you cant define them as a Range.

Collect unique identifiers from one column and paste the results in a different worksheet.

What I'm looking to do is comb through a column and pull all the unique identifiers out of that column and then paste the results in a table in a different worksheet. I found the code below and it is very close to what I need. However, I have two major problems with it that I cannot figure out. First the area that this macro searches is constant ie "A1:B50". I need this to be one column and be dynamic since more data and new unique identifiers will be added to this worksheet. Second I cannot figure out how to paste my results to a specific range on a different worksheet. For example if I wanted to take the results and paste them in "sheet2" starting in at "B5" and going to however long the list of unique identifiers is.
Sub ExtractUniqueEntries()
Const ProductSheetName = "Sheet1" ' change as appropriate
Const ProductRange = "B2:B"
Const ResultsCol = "E"
Dim productWS As Worksheet
Dim uniqueList() As String
Dim productsList As Range
Dim anyProduct
Dim LC As Integer
ReDim uniqueList(1 To 1)
Set productWS = Worksheets(ProductSheetName)
Set productsList = productWS.Range(ProductRange)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each anyProduct In productsList
If Not IsEmpty(anyProduct) Then
If Trim(anyProduct) <> "" Then
For LC = LBound(uniqueList) To UBound(uniqueList)
If Trim(anyProduct) = uniqueList(LC) Then
Exit For ' found match, exit
End If
Next
If LC > UBound(uniqueList) Then
'new item, add it
uniqueList(UBound(uniqueList)) = Trim(anyProduct)
'make room for another
ReDim Preserve uniqueList(1 To UBound(uniqueList) + 1)
End If
End If
End If
Next ' end anyProduct loop
If UBound(uniqueList) > 1 Then
'remove empty element
ReDim Preserve uniqueList(1 To UBound(uniqueList) - 1)
End If
'clear out any previous entries in results column
If productWS.Range(ResultsCol & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row > 1 Then
productWS.Range(ResultsCol & 2 & ":" & _
productWS.Range(ResultsCol & Rows.Count).Address).ClearContents
End If
'list the unique items found
For LC = LBound(uniqueList) To UBound(uniqueList)
productWS.Range(ResultsCol & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) = _
uniqueList(LC)
Next
'housekeeping cleanup
Set productsList = Nothing
Set productWS = Nothing
End Sub
I think your solution is a bit more tricky than it needs to be. Collecting unique ids becomes almost trivial is you use a Dictionary instead of a list. The added benefit is that a dictionary will scale much better than a list as your data set becomes larger.
The code below should provide you with a good starting point to get you going. For convenience's sake I used the reference from your post. So output will be on sheet2 to starting in cell B5 going down and the input is assumed to be on sheet1 cell B2 going down.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Option Explicit
Sub ExtractUniqueEntries()
'enable microsoft scripting runtime --> tools - references
Dim unique_ids As New Dictionary
Dim cursor As Range: Set cursor = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B2") 'change as Required
'collect the unique ids
'This assumes that:
'1. ids do not contain blank rows.
'2. ids are properly formatted. Should this not be the could you'll need to do some validating.
While Not IsEmpty(cursor)
unique_ids(cursor.Value) = ""
Set cursor = cursor.Offset(RowOffset:=1)
Wend
'output the ids to some target.
'assumes the output area is blank.
Dim target As Range: Set target = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B5")
Dim id_ As Variant
For Each id_ In unique_ids
target = id_
Set target = target.Offset(RowOffset:=1)
Next id_
End Sub
A small modification will do it; the key is to define the ProductRange.
Sub ExtractUniqueEntries()
Const ProductSheetName = "Sheet1" ' change as appropriate
Dim ProductRange
ProductRange = "B2:B" & Range("B" & Cells.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Const ResultsCol = "E"
Dim productWS As Worksheet
Dim uniqueList() As String
Dim productsList As Range
Dim anyProduct
Dim LC As Integer
ReDim uniqueList(1 To 1)
Set productWS = Worksheets(ProductSheetName)
Set productsList = productWS.Range(ProductRange)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each anyProduct In productsList
If Not IsEmpty(anyProduct) Then
If Trim(anyProduct) <> "" Then
For LC = LBound(uniqueList) To UBound(uniqueList)
If Trim(anyProduct) = uniqueList(LC) Then
Exit For ' found match, exit
End If
Next
If LC > UBound(uniqueList) Then
'new item, add it
uniqueList(UBound(uniqueList)) = Trim(anyProduct)
'make room for another
ReDim Preserve uniqueList(1 To UBound(uniqueList) + 1)
End If
End If
End If
Next ' end anyProduct loop
If UBound(uniqueList) > 1 Then
'remove empty element
ReDim Preserve uniqueList(1 To UBound(uniqueList) - 1)
End If
'clear out any previous entries in results column
If productWS.Range(ResultsCol & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row > 1 Then
productWS.Range(ResultsCol & 2 & ":" & _
productWS.Range(ResultsCol & Rows.Count).Address).ClearContents
End If
'list the unique items found
For LC = LBound(uniqueList) To UBound(uniqueList)
productWS.Range(ResultsCol & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) = _
uniqueList(LC)
Next

Excel VBA Get hyperlink address of specific cell

How do I code Excel VBA to retrieve the url/address of a hyperlink in a specific cell?
I am working on sheet2 of my workbook and it contains about 300 rows. Each rows have a unique hyperlink at column "AD". What I'm trying to go for is to loop on each blank cells in column "J" and change it's value from blank to the hyperlink URL of it's column "AD" cell. I am currently using this code:
do while....
NextToFill = Sheet2.Range("J1").End(xlDown).Offset(1).Address
On Error Resume Next
GetAddress = Sheet2.Range("AD" & Sheet2.Range(NextToFill).Row).Hyperlinks(1).Address
On Error GoTo 0
loop
Problem with the above code is it always get the address of the first hyperlink because the code is .Hyperlinks(1).Address. Is there anyway to get the hyperlink address by range address like maybe sheet1.range("AD32").Hyperlinks.Address?
This should work:
Dim r As Long, h As Hyperlink
For r = 1 To Range("AD1").End(xlDown).Row
For Each h In ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks
If Cells(r, "AD").Address = h.Range.Address Then
Cells(r, "J") = h.Address
End If
Next h
Next r
It's a bit confusing because Range.Address is totally different than Hyperlink.Address (which is your URL), declaring your types will help a lot. This is another case where putting "Option Explicit" at the top of modules would help.
Not sure why we make a big deal, the code is very simple
Sub ExtractURL()
Dim GetURL As String
For i = 3 To 500
If IsEmpty(Cells(i, 1)) = False Then
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("D" & i).Value =
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A" & i).Hyperlinks(1).Address
End If
Next i
End Sub
My understanding from the comments is that you already have set the column J to a string of the URL. If so this simple script should do the job (It will hyperlink the cell to the address specified inside the cell, You can change the cell text if you wish by changing the textToDisplay option). If i misunderstood this and the string is in column AD simply work out the column number for AD and replace the following line:
fileLink = Cells(i, the number of column AD)
The script:
Sub AddHyperlink()
Dim fileLink As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ActiveSheet
lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 4 To lastrow
fileLink = Cells(i, 10)
.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Cells(i, 10), _
Address:=fileLink, _
TextToDisplay:=fileLink
Next i
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Try to run for each loop as below:
do while....
NextToFill = Sheet2.Range("J1").End(xlDown).Offset(1).Address
On Error Resume Next
**for each** lnk in Sheet2.Range("AD" & Sheet2.Range(NextToFill).Row).Hyperlinks
GetAddress=lnk.Address
next
On Error GoTo 0
loop
This IMO should be a function to return a string like so.
Public Sub TestHyperLink()
Dim CellRng As Range
Set CellRng = Range("B3")
Dim HyperLinkURLStr As String
HyperLinkURLStr = HyperLinkURLFromCell(CellRng)
Debug.Print HyperLinkURLStr
End Sub
Public Function HyperLinkURLFromCell(CellRng As Range) As String
HyperLinkURLFromCell = CStr(CellRng.Hyperlinks(1).Address)
End Function

Excel VBA loop through worksheets fails

Edit: I took all you advice and edited my code. Now it works!!!
Thank you.
Here is the new code:
Sub WorksheetLoop()
Dim AllWorksheets As Integer
Dim Worksheet As Integer
AllWorksheets = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
For Worksheet = 2 To AllWorksheets
Sheets(1).Select
Cells(10, Worksheet).Value = Sheets(Worksheet).TextBoxes(2).Text
Cells(13, Worksheet).Value = Sheets(Worksheet).TextBoxes(3).Text
Cells(18, Worksheet).Value = Sheets(Worksheet).TextBoxes(1).Text
Cells(24, Worksheet).Value = Sheets(Worksheet).TextBoxes(5).Text
Cells(34, Worksheet).Value = Sheets(Worksheet).TextBoxes(6).Text
Cells(34, Worksheet).Value = Sheets(Worksheet).TextBoxes(4).Text
Next Worksheet
End Sub
Original Problem
So there is an excel document, which contains an amount of worksheets.
On the first sheet an overview should be created by the script.
It should start in the 2nd worksheet and should write the content of the textboxes (please don't ask why there are textboxes...) to Cell B10, B13, anso so on.
Then the script should go to worksheet 3 and the content of the textboxes should go to C10, C13,...
You get the idea...
I know that this is only possible to Z....
But why do I keep getting error messages?
My VBA knowlage is very small, so sorry for obvious errors.
Edit: I took the advice about the spaces around &
But I still get "object doesn't support this property or method"
Sub WorksheetLoop()
Dim AllWorksheets As Integer
Dim Worksheet As Integer
AllWorksheets = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
For Worksheet = 2 To AllWorksheets
For CellAscii = 66 To (AllWorksheet + 66)
Cell = Chr(CellAscii)
Sheets(1).Select
Range(Cell & "10").Value = Sheets(Worksheet).TextBox2.Text
Range(Cell & "13").Value = Sheets(Worksheet).TextBox3.Text
Range(Cell & "18").Value = Sheets(Worksheet).TextBox1.Text
Range(Cell & "24").Value = Sheets(Worksheet).TextBox5.Text
Range(Cell & "30").Value = Sheets(Worksheet).TextBox6.Text
Range(Cell & "34").Value = Sheets(Worksheet).TextBox4.Text
Next CellAscii
Next Worksheet
End Sub
Just try the following when trying to access textboxes:
Sheets("SheetName").TextBoxes("TextBox Name").Text
Verify that your "SheetName" and "TextBox Name" are correct.
Hope this was usefull for you.
Range doesn't take a reference of schema Ay, it takes one with RyCx.
Anyway use SheetX.Cell to access a particular cell in a particular row and column.
You loop through cells like this:
Sub MyLoop()
For RowCounter = 1 To 20
For ColumnCounter = 1 To 20
Set curCell = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(RowCounter , ColumnCounter)
If Abs(curCell.Value) < 0.01 Then curCell.Value = 0
Next ColumnCounter
Next RowCounter
End Sub
The main error in your code is that there is no space before and after &
Change Range(Cell&"10").Value to Range(Cell & "10").Value. Similarly for the rest and your code will run just fine :)
