Dim Turbidity As Long
Dim RawTurbidity As Range
'Sets variables Turbidity being the ActiveCell and RawTurbidity referring to the last captured cell in raw sheets'
Turbidity = ActiveCell.Row
Set RawTurbidity = Sheets("Raw Data").Range("C4").End(xlDown)
'The formula assigning the last captured cell in Raw sheets to the active cell '
Sheet1.Range(Sheet1.Cells(Turbidity, 4), Sheet1.Cells(Turbidity, 4)).Formula = RawTurbidity
End Sub
So this is the code I have and currently it does what it's suppose to do. We have two sheets atm sheet1 and Raw Data An instrument spits out data into column C of Raw data starting wtih C4 and going all the way down. The current code I wrote in essence paste the newest value the instrument spits out to the active cell in sheet1. I have a code on Raw Data that runs the macro only when a change is made to column C4 and lower. And it works exactly how I want it to however...
my question or issue is that when I add activecell.offset(1,0).select in order to have the activecell automatically go to the next row in sheet1 without me moving the mouse the macro copies and paste the same data into the next 4 cells. If I have the intrument spit out the data again than this time it occupies the next 6 rows with the same data.
Joe B, I think you are making this harder than it is.
Last value in a sheet column gets copied to the next open row in a specified column on another sheet? Is that right?

Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim wsRaw As Worksheet
Dim ws1LastRow As Long ' "Turbidity"
Dim wsRawLastRow As Long ' "RawTurbidity"
' I suggest you just name the sheets using the developer prop window
'It cuts this whole part out as you can call them directly
Set ws1 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set wsRaw = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Raw Data")
ws1LastRow = ws1.Cells(ws1.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row 'lets say you are pasting to column A
'ws1LastRow = ws1LastRow + 1
'There you go the next writable cell row, this is wasted code though, see below you just increment when you need it
wsRawLastRow = wsRaw.Cells(wsRaw.Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row 'This method doesn't care if your data starts in C4
'No formula needed, it is a straight "copy" here, actually faster as its an assignment
ws1.Cells(ws1LastRow + 1, "A").Value = wsRaw.Cells(wsRawLastRow, "C").Value
'the next open cell (defined by row) in your sheet 1 column is equal to the last row of your Raw Data sheet column
End Sub
Issue is that the data in sheet one is not inputted in order. A person may need the data calculated to row 10 and the next calculation needs to be in row 20 hence the need to copy the data into the active cell.
This was my bad for not stating that in the initial post as it's the primary reason for this strange formula.
I have a worksheet that uses randomly generated numbers in calculations to produce results in two adjacent cells (let's say A1 and A2). I am trying to perform 100 iterations where I'm simply "Calculating Formulas" on the worksheet and then trying to store the results of each iteration next to A1 and A2 (so iteration 1 would be in B1 and B2 and iteration 100 would be in CW1 and CW2). Thanks in advance for your help. Using Excel 2010 if that matters.
Dim Iteration As Integer, i As Integer
Dim val As Variant
Iteration = 100
For i = 1 To Iteration
Calculate
Range("A1:A2").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(x1Up).Offset(0, 1).PasteSpecial
Paste:=xlPasteValues
Next i
End Sub
I think your major problem was with the location you were selecting for the destination address - you were finding the last unused cell in column B, then shifting over one column (i.e. to column C) and pasting the first set of results. Then you were using that same location for the second set of results, etc.
Sub Test()
Dim Iteration As Integer, i As Integer
Dim val As Variant
Iteration = 100
'Use a "With" block so that it can be easily changed in the future
'to refer to a specific sheet if needed
With ActiveSheet
For i = 1 To Iteration
Calculate
'Determine the last used column on row 1,
' offset 1 column to the right,
' resize to refer to 2 rows,
' set values to the values in A1:A2
.Cells(1, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, 1).Resize(2, 1).Value = .Range("A1:A2").Value
Next i
End With
End Sub
As pointed out by Steve Lovell, you also had a typo in your original code. It is a good habit to include Option Explicit as the first line in every code module. That will force you to declare all the variables that you use, and the compiler would have highlighted x1Up and given a "Variable not defined" error.
I have a sheet with just order numbers and another with order numbers and all of the data associated with those order numbers. I want to match the order numbers and transfer all of the available data into the other sheet. I've been trying to use loops and VLOOKUP but I'm having problems (plus I have 116 columns I want to transfer data from so my vlookup expression doesn't look very nice). Any advice would be appreciated!
this is what I have so far and I'm getting an object error.
I don't think it's the right way to go about it in general though.

Basically searches for each Order Number in the first sheet on the second sheet. This outputs (if search term exists) the cell that that string is found which we later refer to its row number to output the whole row to the first sheet. Cheers,
A regular VLOOKUP may be able to give you what you need, if you use a small trick...
Insert a row above the data table, and put sequential numbers in
each cell of that row. (ie, A1 = 1, B1 = 2, C1 = 3, etc...)
Do the same thing on your blank table.
Assuming that your first order number is in cell A2, put the following formula into B2: =VLOOKUP($A2,[other sheet name]!$A$1:$DZ$5000,B$1,0)
Drag this formula across all 116 columns, then down all however many rows you've got.
You'll need to adjust the ranges, obviously, but make sure that your lookup array starts in column A. (or alternatively, that your numbers start in the same column as the first column in your array.) Adding the numbers along the top allows you to change what column of the array you're referencing, just by dragging the cell formula.
I'm completely new to VBA and Excel macros in general so I'll try to explain my predicament as clearly as possible. Basically I've got two workbooks, the source workbook which contains a single worksheet with nearly thousands of rows and columns and another workbook with 90+ worksheets, each with two tables that references cells from the source workbook (the tables cover monthly data for the last four fiscal years).
I've shoe-stringed together an automation macro that mostly works, but my primary concern is that it could be done better, specifically I've got one section of code:
'October
cellVarO = ActiveSheet.Range("B8").Formula
cellVarO = Right(cellVarO, 5)
Range("B8").Select
ActiveCell.Formula = "=OFFSET('C:\external\[reference_sheet.xls]Mnthly Rdgs'!" & cellVarO & ",0," & fyNum * 12 & ")"
One thing to note is that this code repeats 24 times, one for each month, and another iteration to use MID so that I'm still selecting the right cell value from the active cell formula (after changing the original formula to include OFFSET). I find this bulky and unnecessary but it's the only way I can wrap my mind around the problem. Another issue, it considers that the cell reference will always be 5 characters long. There are instances where this is not the case.
But basically my months are laid out by column and my years are laid out by row, what I was aiming to do here was look in the cell formula for the cell reference, select the cell value, then use OFFSET to shift the value 12 columns to the most recent one, and print the new value to the most recent year. Suppose if I have the cell formula:
='C:\external\[reference_sheet.xls]Mnthly Rdgs'!QR938
My goal is to take the cell value here (QR938) and shift it right 12 columns. Is there any way to pick out the cell value (other than using MID/RIGHT) and assign it to a variable to offset? Is there a better way to shift the cell value 12 columns other than using OFFSET? Finally, is there any way to perform that same operation across multiple similarly formatted worksheets?
See if this helps
For testing the main code:
Sub Tester()
'offset 12 cols to right
OffsetFormulaReference ActiveSheet.Range("B8"), 0, 12
'offset 12 cols to left
OffsetFormulaReference ActiveSheet.Range("B9"), 0, -12
'offset 12 rows down
OffsetFormulaReference ActiveSheet.Range("B10"), 12, 0
'offset 12 rows up
OffsetFormulaReference ActiveSheet.Range("B11"), -12, 0
'EDIT: loop over sheets and edit a specific range
Dim c As Range, sht as WorkSheet
For Each sht in ThisWorkbook.Sheets
For each c in sht.Range("B8:B20").Cells
OffsetFormulaReference c, 12, 0
Next c
Next sht
End Sub
Utility method for taking the formula from a cell with an external reference and moving it over by the specified number of rows/columns:
Sub OffsetFormulaReference(c As Range, offsetRows, offsetCols)
Dim origForm As String, origAddr As String
Dim arr, rng As Range, newAddr As String
If c.HasFormula Then
origForm = c.Formula
'(e.g.) ='C:\external\[reference_sheet.xls]Mnthly Rdgs'!QR938
If InStr(origForm, "!") > 0 Then
arr = Split(origForm, "!") 'arr(1) = "QR938"
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range(arr(1)) 'get a range reference
Set rng = rng.Offset(offsetRows, offsetCols) 'move the reference
newAddr = rng.Address(False, False) 'get the offset address
'replace old formula with new offset reference
c.Formula = arr(0) & "!" & newAddr
End If
End If
End Sub
Note: you'll get an error if you try to use Offset() to move the rng reference beyond the limits of the sheet (eg. row or column < 1). You can add logic to handle that if it might be an issue.
I am working on a way to generate a list based on the value of each row in a given column (G). Currently the list can copy entire rows and works perfectly. It pulls all rows if column G contains the required text ("Card") and puts them in a list on another spreadsheet with no gaps.
The problem is that I want the list to only contain information from a few columns in each row containing "Card", not the whole row.
Is there a way to make my code below pull specific cells from a row rather than using the .EntireRow function and copy the whole row?
To clarify, this spreadsheet is updated regularly by multiple different users so the information is not static. Rows are added and changed frequently and occasionally deleted. As such I cannot just copy cell values from the original sheet to the new list.
Sub AlonsoApprovedList()
Dim cell As Range
Dim NewRange As Range
Dim MyCount As Long
Dim ExistCount As Long
ExistCount = 0
MyCount = 1
'----For every cell in row G on the ESI Project Data sheet----'
For Each cell In Worksheets("ESI Project Data").Range("G6:G5000")
If cell.Value = "Card" Then
ExistCount = ExistCount + 1
If MyCount = 1 Then Set NewRange = cell.Offset(0, -1)
'----Sets up a new range to copy all data from the row if column G in that row contains the value in question----'
Set NewRange = Application.Union(NewRange, cell.EntireRow)
MyCount = MyCount + 1
End If
Next cell
If ExistCount > 0 Then
NewRange.Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Alonso Approved List").Range("A3")
End If
End Sub
Additional information:
Column G drop down data validation lists containing one several
items. A complete list is in a different worksheet. Users go in to
each line item and select from a specific category.
The other columns in question contain a line item's name, category
(same as column G), a monetary value, and a date.
The code above loops through a list in the "ESI Project Data" Worksheet and detects rows by the value in cell G. It currently copies the whole row every time a key word is in cell G ("Card") in this example. I am using it to generate individual lists grouped by that key word. I just want it to pull individual cells, not use the .EntireRow function as it currently does. I do not know how to do that.
Thank you for your time!
Untested...

hello is there a code that I can use to copy specific cells to another workbook by clicking a button.
here's what I am trying to do,
from workbook 1 I need to copy info from the following cells
I have Column B info on cell A40 to A69
I have Column B info on cell b2, b3, b4, b8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 and b40 to b69
I have column D info on cells b2,
I have column G info on cell b1,b2,b3,b4
all this I need to send it to workbook2 which has the same cells assigned to this specific info.
hope I made my self clear.
