I have a macro that creates a separate workbook from a larger document. The number of columns vary on how much data is entered. I would like to add an autofilter to only the currently used columns but every time I add an autofilter I have to put in a range and the range varies. Is there a way to write in the code to only add the filter arrow on the applicable columns and not all of them that could possibly be shown? We are sending the document out to a customer and have to manually unfilter the blank boxes which we would prefer not to do.
Thanks!
Turn your data into an Excel Table using the Ctrl + T keyboard shortcut. These have the autofilter built in, and it automatically gets applied to any new columns in the Table, because Tables expand automatically to accommodate any new data.
Furthermore, because Tables are basically Named Ranges that Excel maintains on your behalf, it is very easy to identify the ranges concerned in VBA, as per my answer at VBA coding to identify and clear data in a specific table
I am having an issue running a label filter on a column (classic view) within my pivot table. I am trying to weed out the items in the data that are less than 180 days old. I can't adjust the data because it is used to feed multiple worksheets and I don't wish to copy the data and manipulate it for just this worksheet. Below is the line that I am running.
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable5").PivotFields("Ageing").PivotFilters.Add _
Type:=xlCaptionIsBetween, Value1:="180", Value2:="9999"
This is a "between" filter. I have tried greater than and greater than or equal to but the same result occurs. After this line is run, I can click into the pivot table soft/filter down arrow and see that the filter is there as a between and even the days are inputted but the data does not reflect this. If I hit "OK" on the filter it then applies itself but I do not wish to have to do this manually.
Yes, "PivotTable5" is the pivot table in question. Can anyone help me automate this process?
I'm working on a quarterly report that Auto-generates all fields.
I could really use some help building a formula that pulls values from the first column ([T6-TOC]) of three separate tables (ROVH_Jan, ROVH_Feb, ROVH_MAR) existing in another worksheet (RVH 1825). I need the three ranges of values to stack in a single column, but I do not want to eliminate duplicates values.
I've tried using =INDEX formula, and VBA but I can't get the syntax right.
Any suggestions?
These are sources I've viewed but didn't solve my problem.

Excel - Combine multiple columns into one column
http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/610527-how-do-i-stack-data-multiple-columns-into-one-column.html
Something like this should work for you:
=IF(ROW(A1)<=ROWS(ROVH_Jan),INDEX(ROVH_Jan[T6-TOC],ROW(A1)),IF(ROW(A1)<=ROWS(ROVH_Jan)+ROWS(ROVH_Feb),INDEX(ROVH_Feb[T6-TOC],ROW(A1)-ROWS(ROVH_Jan)),IF(ROW(A1)<=ROWS(ROVH_Jan)+ROWS(ROVH_Feb)+ROWS(ROVH_MAR),INDEX(ROVH_MAR[T6-TOC],ROW(A1)-ROWS(ROVH_Jan)-ROWS(ROVH_Feb)),"")))
I have three workbooks with IDs in column A. I want to create a fourth workbook, which should combine the IDs and de-dupe them automatically so that I can perform a vlookup on them to reference data on the other workbooks. The 3 workbooks with data in them will be constantly updated with new ID numbers added, so I need the master/summary workbook to automatically grab newly added ID numbers and perform vlookups against the other workbooks.
The goal of this is to give a summary view of each record (which corresponds to a person), letting the user know which workbooks that person exists in.
I have tried doing =max() to retreive the number of ID's in each workbook, and combining them, telling me the total # of ID's that exist, combined. Then I tried to perform this: =SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(Test1:Test2$A$2:$A$1000, ROW($1:$28))<>0, ROW($1:$28), ""), ROW(A1))
+ CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER
But I'm 1. not sure if that'll work and 2. not sure how the syntax works with 3 separate workbooks.
I also tried the union method in VBA with no luck - again I think I'm messing up the syntax.
You can retrieve a unique list of the id numbers in [ID_First.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$A$999 using the following array formula in the master worksheet's A2 (needs a row above it to avoid circular references).
=IFERROR(INDEX([ID_First.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$A$999,MATCH(0, IF(LEN([ID_First.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$A$999),COUNTIF(A$1:A1,[ID_First.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$A$999),1),0)),"")
If you stack similar formulas consecutively, passing calculation on to them with IFERROR(), you can gain a unique list from three separate workbooks.
=IF(LEN(A1),IFERROR(INDEX([ID_First.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$A$999,MATCH(0, IF(LEN([ID_First.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$A$999),COUNTIF(A$1:A1,[ID_First.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$A$999),1),0)),IFERROR(INDEX([ID_Second.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$A$999,MATCH(0, IF(LEN([ID_Second.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$A$999),COUNTIF(A$1:A1,[ID_Second.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$A$999),1),0)),IFERROR(INDEX([ID_Third.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$A$999,MATCH(0, IF(LEN([ID_Third.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$A$999),COUNTIF(A$1:A1,[ID_Third.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$A$999),1),0)),""))),"")
Array formulas require Ctrl+Shift+Enter to finalize. Once entered correctly, fill down as necessary to collect all unique IDs.
With a unique list of id numbers, you can use the same method of nested IFERROR functions to look through a series of three workbooks for additional data.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A2, [ID_First.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$Z$999, 2, FALSE),IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A2, [ID_Second.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$Z$999, 2, FALSE),IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A2, [ID_Third.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$Z$999, 2, FALSE),"")))
I'm offering this as you've mentioned a total of 50 member IDs. This method can quickly (and logrythmically) eat up calculation resources when applied to larger groups of numbers.
If you've got Excel 2016 or later, you could unpivot the data using PowerQuery, which is now built in to Excel under the Get & Transform section of the Data tab in the ribbon. Plenty of examples of how to do this if you search Google for 'unpivot' and 'Powerquery'.
If you have Excel 2010 or 2013, you can download the PowerQuery addin for free from https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=39379 (assuming IT let you do so).
PowerQuery is a revolution in Excel data transformation, and the learning curve is a lot less steep than advanced formulas or VBA.
I am stuck at this problem which involves extracting data from a excel spreadsheet. And the values are "hidden" behind a "interface". I was given a excel file with the coordinate system and for the specified coordinates, when you click on them, a value is displayed to you on the small window above the spreadsheet.
I need all these values and I am sure that I could extract them all at once, not one by one.
So I need to gather all the values that are assigned to the specific coordinates and implement it in my program. Also there is this red-green interface which points out if the value is above a specified number.
But how do I get to the values?

They are stored in that row by column. The reason that you cannot see them when you open it is that the size of the column have been reduced. To see the actual number in the row by column, just expand that column by dragging it to the right. For example, in spreadsheet EEM_80_Eini+Ausi, if you look at cell B3 and expand the row and column, you will see the number .2450610558 inside that cell.
