I have Column A and what I'm looking to do is search for a phrase, say "test" and then if this phrase is found delete 2 rows after that.
I can see how to delete a row if the phrase is found in that row but not how to delete another row.
Try something like this:
Public Sub DeleteRowsIfFound()
Dim originCell As Range, numberOfRowsToDelete As Integer
Dim blankCellLimit As Integer, numberOfBlankCells As Integer
Dim label As String, index As Long, n As Integer
Set originCell = Me.Range("A1")
blankCellLimit = 5
numberOfRowsToDelete = 2
index = 0
label = "test"
Do
If originCell.Offset(index, 0).Value = label Then
For n = 0 To numberOfRowsToDelete - 1
originCell.Offset(index + 1, 0).EntireRow.Delete
Next
ElseIf originCell.Offset(index, 0).Value = "" Then
numberOfBlankCells = numberOfBlankCells + 1
End If
index = index + 1
Loop While numberOfBlankCells < blankCellLimit
End Sub
This starts searching down column A starting at cell A1, and if it finds a cell with the value "test" then it will delete the next two rows following it.

I'm working on a project and need at the moment to find the first empty cell just after text cells in a row in Excel. To clarify, let me explain to you what I'm lookng for with this screenshot
I want to write a code to return for me for like an example in the case of the 20th row the number of column of the cell E20 even if the first empty cell is A20 but like I said, i want the first empty cell juste after the last "not empty" one.
for the 21th row the result will be C21, the 22th row it will be F22 and there you go
Here's the code I wrote but for some reason it doesn't work, please help.
Function emptyCell(ws As Worksheet, ligne As Integer)
Dim m, p, n As Integer
Dim suite(700) As Integer
For k = 0 To 700
suite(k) = 0
Next
emptyCell = 0
i = 1
Do Until suite(i) = 0 And suite(i - 1) = 1
If ws.Cells(ligne, i) <> "" Then
suite(i) = 1
End If
i = i + 1
emptyCell = emptyCell + 1
Loop
End Function
Sub test()
Dim d As Integer
empty_cell = emptyCell(Sheets("tmp"), 2)
MsgBox (empty_cell)
End Sub
The logic of my code is to assign 0 for empty cells and 1 in the other caase, run a test to find the first 1-0 that's gonna appear in my array and get the column order from the order of this "1"
I know I'm not that clear cause I didnt want it to make it a long post and english is not my first language.
Thanks in advance
All if you want to get the first empty cell after the last non empty cell, why not try it like this?
Function emptyCell(ws As Worksheet, Row As Long) As Range
Set emptyCell = ws.Cells(Row, ws.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(, 1)
End Function
Sub Test()
Dim empty_cell As Range
Set empty_cell = emptyCell(Sheets("tmp"), 20)
MsgBox empty_cell.Address
End Sub
I have a listbox which I set to selectmulti
I am trying to get the values of the selected items with this :
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
Dim lItem As Long
Dim nboc As Integer
Dim c As Integer
Range("G:G").Clear
nboc = Worksheets("BDD").Range("IQ2").Value
c = 0
For lItem = 0 To ListBox2.ListCount - 1
If ListBox2.Selected(lItem) = True Then
c = c + 1
Worksheets("Bordereau Prep").Range("G15:G" & 14 + c) = ListBox2.List(lItem)
ListBox2.Selected(lItem) = False
End If
Next
End Sub
This works as long as I have one item selected. If I have x items selected, it returns x times the first item.
Can you help me?
(I am fairly new to VBA and am trying to learn on my own)
With this line:
Worksheets("Bordereau Prep").Range("G15:G" & 14 + c) = ListBox2.List(lItem)
you override the values previously printed by this function.
In first iteration you print the value in each cell of range G15:G15 (a single cell in this case), in second iteration you print the value in each cell of range G15:G16 (so you override the value printed in first iteration) and so on.
You need to change this line like below:
Worksheets("Bordereau Prep").Range("G14").Offset(c, 0) = ListBox2.List(lItem)
Your problem is in the line:
Worksheets("Bordereau Prep").Range("G15:G" & 14 + c) = ListBox2.List(lItem)
It simply assigns the whole range to the last found value. Here is something that works for you, you may use it somehow further and change it.
Option Explicit
Sub btn()
Dim lItem As Long
Dim c As Long
Range("G:G").Clear
For lItem = 0 To Worksheets("Bordereau Prep").ListBox2.ListCount - 1
If Worksheets("Bordereau Prep").ListBox2.Selected(lItem) = True Then
c = c + 1
Worksheets("BDD").Cells(15 + c, 7) = Worksheets("Bordereau Prep").ListBox2.List(lItem)
'Worksheets("Bordereau Prep").Range("G15:G" & 14 + c) = Worksheets("Bordereau Prep").ListBox2.List(lItem)
Worksheets("Bordereau Prep").ListBox2.Selected(lItem) = False
End If
Next lItem
End Sub
Last but not least, you try not to use Integers in VBA, but longs. Enjoy it!
I am not familiar with using macro's, but I think that what I would like excel to perform is best handled with a macro. So I can use all the input you may have!
I have these headers;
ID Tag Pen Sex Weight Class Inside range
With 450 rows of data. Based on the distribution of the weight data, I have in two other columns (class and number) the number of rows I want to select within each class. The selected rows must have the value "Yes" in the column "Inside range".
I want to randomly select the rows, based on the number needed for each class, and copy these rows to a new sheet. It sums up to 30 rows in the new sheet.
I hope you have a suggestion how to complete this action!
can you try the following, you will need to add a reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime library:
Const rowCount = 450
Public Sub copyRows()
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim classes As Scripting.Dictionary
Dim source As Worksheet
Dim colNumber As Integer
Dim colClassName as Integer
Dim colInsideRange As Integer
Dim allSelected As Boolean
Dim randomRow as Integer
Dim sumRemaining as Integer
allSelected = False
Set source = Worksheets("YourWorksheetName")
colClassName = 6 'this is the column number where class names are entered. I am assuming 6
colNumber = 7 'this is the column number where number of rows to be selected are entered. I am assuming 7
colInsideRange = 8 'this is the column number where "Inside Range" values are entered. I am assuming 9
For i = 2 to rowCount + 1 'assuming you have a header row
classes(CStr(source.Cells(i, colClassName))) = CInt(source.cells(i, colNumber)
Next i
Do until allSelected
Randomize
randomRow = Int ((Rnd * 450) + 2) 'assuming you have a header row, + 1 if you don't
If classes(CStr(source.Cells(randomRow, colClassName))) = 0 Then
With classes
sumRemaining = 0
For j = 1 to .Count - 1
sumRemaining = sumRemaining + .Items(j)
If sumRemaining > 0 Then Exit For
Next j
allSelected = (sumRemaining = 0)
End With
Else
source.Cells(randomRow, colInsideRange) = "Yes"
classes(CStr(source.Cells(randomRow, colClassName))) = classes(CStr(source.Cells(randomRow, colClassName))) - 1
End If
Loop
'Enter your code to copy rows with "Inside Range" = "Yes"
End Sub
Sorry if there are some errors or typos, I wrote from my mobile phone.
I am having a sheet which contains range of values like "5670&&2","1281&&-3&-5&&7",... etc. in Column A.
Kindly help me to extract the output in VBA in following way:
For E.g 5670&&2 I require A1 cell contains 5670,B1 cell contains &&,C1 cell contains 2.
For E.g 1281&&-3&-5&&7,I would require that A1 cell contains 1281,B1 cell contains &&-,C1 cell contains 3,D1 cell contains &-,E1 cell contains 5,F1 cell contains && and G1 cell contains 7.
Pls help in the same .
Thanks.,
Here i have tried to write code to separate numbers from non-numbers. Numbers and non-numbers are copied to different columns, like Excel Text-To-Columns. Code is a little crazy, if u need i will provide comments. As input the ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns(1).Cells is used.
Option Explicit
Sub SeparateNumbers()
Dim targetRange As Range
Dim cellRange As Range
Dim charIndex As Integer
Dim oneChar As String
Dim nextChar As String
Dim start As Integer
Dim copiedCharsCount As Integer
Dim cellValue As String
Dim columnIndex As Integer
Set targetRange = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns(1).Cells
For Each cellRange In targetRange
columnIndex = cellRange.Column
start = 1
copiedCharsCount = 0
cellValue = cellRange.Value
If (VBA.Strings.Len(cellValue) <= 1) Then GoTo nextCell
For charIndex = 2 To Len(cellValue)
oneChar = VBA.Strings.Mid(cellValue, charIndex - 1, 1)
nextChar = VBA.Strings.Mid(cellValue, charIndex, 1)
If VBA.IsNumeric(oneChar) And VBA.IsNumeric(nextChar) Then GoTo nextCharLabel
If Not VBA.IsNumeric(oneChar) And Not VBA.IsNumeric(nextChar) Then GoTo nextCharLabel
cellRange.Offset(0, columnIndex).Value = VBA.Strings.Mid(cellValue, start, charIndex - start)
columnIndex = columnIndex + 1
copiedCharsCount = copiedCharsCount + (charIndex - start)
start = charIndex
nextCharLabel:
If charIndex = Len(cellValue) Then
cellRange.Offset(0, columnIndex).Value = VBA.Strings.Right(cellValue, charIndex - copiedCharsCount)
End If
Next charIndex
nextCell:
Next cellRange

Here is one more code. As a side product, function TextSplitToNumbersAndOther can be used independently as a formula to achieve the same effect.
To prevent accidental firing of the macro in a wrong sheet or a wrong column and overwriting neighbouring columns with scrap, named range "Start_point" should be defined by a user. Below this range in the same column, all data will be processed till the first blank row.

You can write a UDF (user defined function) to achieve the objective.
Your two example are in an order (ascending) to filter out into adjacent columns in Excel (A, B, C, D...)
So is it correct to assume logically, that you will never have scenarios where you will have to break the string into non-adjacent columns? e.g. 1234 goes to A, && goes to C, 3 goes to D... resulting in A, C, D.
Asumption 2: That your splitted-string is not going to need columns more than Excel can provide.
Steps you may try:
1. Check your string is not empty
2. Split it by the characters other than numerics
3. At the start and end of each non-numeric character you may proceed to the next adjacent column.

Is there a way to merge multiple records then display only the highest value for each column? Example: A2:A25=names, B2=Grade1, C2=Grade2...etc.
First I removed duplicates in case there are exact duplicates. Then I sort on Name.
Can something be added to this code, based on column A-names, to display each name once with the highest value from each column?
=IF(B2="","Empty",IF(B2="High","High",IF(B2="Med","Med",IF(B2="Low","Low",""))))
Data Example
A1:name B1:Grade1 C1:Grade2...etc
A2:Joe B2:High C3:Low
A3:Joe B3:Med C3:High
A4:Dan B4:Low C4:Med
A5:Dan B5:Low C5:Low
__Results: Joe Grade1=high Grade2=high, Dan: Grade1=Low Grade2=Med
Record an Excel macro. Select first column. Click advanced filter.Choose copy to location and select a new column say X. Enable unique filter. Now click Ok. Now look at vba source to get the code to get unique elements in a column. Now assign Low as 0, Med as 1, High as 2 . loop through the rows and find the maximum grade1 , maximum grade2 etc corresponding to each element in column X and populate columns Y,Z etc. As and when you find a new maximum replace the existing. Now you will have the required data in columns X,Y,Z. Loop through them again and display in the format what you needed.
Decided to try VBA code for this one. It's a bit bruitish, but gets the job done.
Took a shortcut and made columns b and c numbers rather than strings. You could do a lookup function on the spreadsheet to make that conversion, or add an extra check in the code.
Sub find_high_values()
' subroutine to find max values of columns b and c against names
' assumes for simplicity that there are no more than 10 rows
' assumes values being checked to be numbers, if they are strings, additional loops would need to be done
Dim sName(10) As String, lBval(10) As Long, lCval(10) As Long 'arrays for original list
Dim iCountN As Integer, iUnique As Integer, iUniqueCount As Integer 'counters
Dim bUnique As Boolean
Dim rStart As Range, rOutput As Range 'ranges on worksheet
Dim lBmax(10) As Long, lCmax(10) As Long, sUniqueName(10) As String 'output arrays
Set rStart = ActiveSheet.Range("d6") 'Cell immediately above the first name in list
Set rOutput = ActiveSheet.Range("j6") 'cell reference for max value list
iUniqueCount = 1
For iCountN = 1 To 10 'set max counters to a min value
lBmax(iCountN) = 0
lCmax(iCountN) = 0
Next
For iCountN = 1 To 10 'step through each original row
sName(iCountN) = rStart.Offset(iCountN, 0).Value
lBval(iCountN) = rStart.Offset(iCountN, 1).Value
lCval(iCountN) = rStart.Offset(iCountN, 2).Value
bUnique = True 'Starter value, assume the name to be unique, changes to false if already in list
For iUnique = 1 To iCountN 'loop to check if it is a new name
If sUniqueName(iUnique) = sName(iCountN) Then bUnique = False
Next
If bUnique Then 'if new name, add to list of names
sUniqueName(iUniqueCount) = sName(iCountN)
iUniqueCount = iUniqueCount + 1
End If
Next
iUniqueCount = iUniqueCount - 1 'make the count back to total number of names found
For iUnique = 1 To iUniqueCount 'loop through names
For iCountN = 1 To 10 'loop through all values
If sName(iCountN) = sUniqueName(iUnique) Then
If lBval(iCountN) > lBmax(iUnique) Then lBmax(iUnique) = lBval(iCountN)
If lCval(iCountN) > lCmax(iUnique) Then lCmax(iUnique) = lCval(iCountN)
End If
Next
Next
'output section
rStart.Resize(1, 3).Select
Selection.Copy
rOutput.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
