How to reset FIND function result before looping to another sheet? - vba

I would like to ask if you can help with the code below. On every sheet in my workbook there is the same kind of a table, however on each sheet the table has different location and values. I need to go through all sheets, search for table values on every sheet and then do some other operations with the values. I use Find function to determine header of the table and subsequently table range. The Find function does not work properly though as it keeps found address of "Header" cell from the first sheet for every other sheet. Is there any way to reset the found header address value before looping to another sheet? Thank you in advance.
Sub FindInDynamicRanges()
Dim wb1 As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim FoundCell, FoundTab, TabEntries As Excel.Range
Dim FirstAddr As String
Dim FirstRow, LastRow As Long
Set wb1 = ThisWorkbook
'Find all occurences of any table value on all sheets in dynamic ranges
For Each ws In wb1.Worksheets
Set ws = ActiveSheet
'Find "Header" cell
Set FoundCell = ws.Columns(2).Find(What:="Header", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
MsgBox FoundCell.Address
'Set number of first entry row and last entry row
FirstRow = FoundCell.Row + 1
LastRow = ws.Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=Range("A1"), LookAt:=xlPart, LookIn:=xlValues, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False).Row
ws.Range("B" & FirstRow & ":B" & LastRow).Name = "TabEntries"
MsgBox Range("TabEntries").Address
With ws.Range("TabEntries")
Set LastCell = .Cells(.Cells.Count)
End With
Set FoundTab = ws.Range("TabEntries").Find(What:="*", After:=LastCell, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
If Not FoundTab Is Nothing Then
FirstAddr = FoundTab.Address
End If
Do Until FoundTab Is Nothing
'do some staff with found values
Set FoundTab = ws.Range("TabEntries").FindNext(After:=FoundTab)
If FoundTab.Address = FirstAddr Then
Exit Do
End If
Loop
Next ws
End Sub

as it keeps found address of "Header" cell from the first sheet for every other sheet.
That is because you are telling it to...
For Each ws In wb1.Worksheets
Set ws = ActiveSheet
You don't need that Set ws = ActiveSheet
When you say For Each ws, the ws is automatically initialized. So just remove the second line.

Paste Data with AutoFill in VBA

I have the code below that copies the last column filled and paste it into the next empty, simple column. However I need the pasted column to be incremented (with autofill), in my case, with date. January> February> March and so on. Today it sticks with the fixed data.
Sub Test()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveSheet
Dim rLastCell As Range
Dim LastCol As Integer
Set rLastCell = ws.Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=ws.Cells(1, 1), LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=False)
LastCol = rLastCell.Column
ws.Columns(LastCol).Copy ws.Columns(LastCol + 1)
End Sub

How to select a date with a set cell color in Excel?

I am trying to create a macro in excel VBA, that searches the Range (B1:B30) of the value of the ActiveCell in Column “B” by a loop. Along with the search of Column, I also want to check if the date’s cell is colored with a particular color. If the date's cell equals the set color "Good", then I want it to change the color of the cell in Column H of the same row as selected to red.
When I run the code, I get an error message of “Run-time error ‘424’: Object required.” When I go to debug the problem, it highlights the .Find function I have and points to the last line of the search which is “SearchFormat:=False).Activate” What should I do to fix this problem?
Any improvement with my overall code will be very much appreciated.
Sub Find()
Dim FirstAddress As String
Dim MySearch As Variant
Dim Rng As Range
Dim I As Long
MySearch = Array(ActiveCell)
With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B30")
For I = LBound(MySearch) To UBound(MySearch)
Set Rng = .Find(What:=MySearch(I), _
After:=ActiveCell, _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
SearchFormat:=False).Activate
If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
FirstAddress = Rng.Address
Do
If ActiveCell.Style.Name = "Good" Then
Rng("H" & ActiveCell.Row).Select
Rng.Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexRed
End If
Set Rng = .FindNext(Rng)
Loop While Not Rng Is Nothing And Rng.Address <> FirstAddress
End If
Next I
End With
End Sub
Showing the Debug mode of the run-time error.

Code Review:
You have several problems here.
MySearch = Array(ActiveCell) will always be a single value. So why bother looping through it
You cannot set a range to equal range.activate. Searching Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B30") implies that you are searching a worksheet other that the ActiveSheet. If this is the case than .Find(After:=Activecell) suggests that you are looking for a value after the ActiveCell of another worksheet.
Set Rng = .Find(What:=MySearch(I), _
After:=ActiveCell, _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
SearchFormat:=False).Activate
Rng("H" & ActiveCell.Row) Rng is a Range object. It doesn't work like Range. You cannot pass it a cell address. You can do this Rng(1,"H") which is really shorthand for Rng.cells(1,"H") bit that is misleading because Rng is in column 2 Rng(1,"H") will reference the value in column I.
Sub Find()
Dim FirstAddress As String
Dim MySearch As Variant
Dim Rng As Range
Dim I As Long
MySearch = ActiveCell 'This is the ActiveCell of the ActiveSheet not necessarily Sheets("Sheet1")
With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B30")
Set Rng = .Find(What:=MySearch, _
After:=.Range("B1"), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
SearchFormat:=False)
If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
FirstAddress = Rng.Address
Do
If Rng.Style.Name = "Good" Then
.Range("H" & Rng.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexRed
End If
Set Rng = .FindNext(Rng)
Loop While Not Rng Is Nothing And Rng.Address <> FirstAddress
End If
End With
End Sub
UPDATE:
Here is the actual answer to your question:
Sub FindMatchingValue()
Const AllUsedCellsColumnB = False
Dim rFound As Range, SearchRange As Range
If AllUsedCellsColumnB Then
Set SearchRange = Range("B1", Range("B" & Rows.count).End(xlUp))
Else
Set SearchRange = Range("B1:B30")
End If
If Intersect(SearchRange, ActiveCell) Is Nothing Then
SearchRange.Select
MsgBox "You must select a cell in the highlighted area before continuing", vbInformation, "Action Cancelled"
Exit Sub
End If
Set rFound = SearchRange.Find(What:=ActiveCell.Value, _
After:=ActiveCell, _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
SearchFormat:=False)
If Not rFound Is Nothing Then
Do
If rFound.Style.Name = "Good" Then
Range("H" & rFound.Row).Interior.Color = vbRed
End If
Set rFound = SearchRange.FindNext(rFound)
Loop While Not rFound Is Nothing And rFound.Address <> ActiveCell.Address
End If
End Sub
You can't put Activate at the end of the findthe way you are trying to do.
Try this as you find statement.
Set Rng = .Find(What:=MySearch(I), _
After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, _
SearchFormat:=False)
Rng.Activate
Then if you want to Activate the range, do that. But, it is best to stay away from Select, Activate etc in VBA code. I strongly suggest not using that last line of code and adjust you code to not rely on Select and Activate.
you may want to consider an Autofilter approach so as to loop only through relevant cells, as follows:
Option Explicit
Sub Find()
Dim cell As Range
With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B30")
.Rows(1).Insert '<--| insert a dummy header cell to exploit Autofilter. it'll be removed by the end
With .Offset(-1).Resize(.Rows.Count + 1) '<--| consider the range expanded up to the dummy header cell
.Rows(1) = "header" '<--| give the dummy header cell a dummy name
.AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:=ActiveCell '<--| filter range on the wanted criteria
If Application.WorksheetFunction.Subtotal(103, .Cells) > 1 Then '<--| if any cell other than "header" one has been filtered...
For Each cell In .Offset(1).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible) '<--| ... loop through filtered cells only
If cell.Style.Name = "Good" Then cell.Offset(, 6).Interior.ColorIndex = 3 '<--| ... and color only properly styled cells
Next cell
End If
.AutoFilter '<--| .. show all rows back...
End With
.Offset(-1).Resize(1).Delete '<--|delete dummy header cell
End With
End Sub

Inserting the new found rows below the column header

Hi currently i have a code that helps me to copy and paste information on a new found row from external workbook based on a matching condition such as "Singapore". The code will look through the sheet in the external workbook and search for all rows that have "Singapore" in the column and paste it to another workbook. But the problem i am facing right now is that the rows that is being copied and paste to is overlapping my column header instead of inserting on the last row of the sheet.
Below is the image that the information from the external workbook will be pasted to.
However when i run the code as below:
Sub UpdateNewUpcomingProj()
Dim wb1 As Workbook, wb2 As Workbook
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet
Dim copyFrom As Range
Dim lRow As Long '<~~ Not Integer. Might give you error in higher versions of excel
Dim strSearch As String
Set wb1 = Application.Workbooks.Open("U:\Active Master Project.xlsm")
Set ws1 = wb1.Worksheets("New Upcoming Projects")
strSearch = "Singapore"
With ws1
'~~> Remove any filters
.AutoFilterMode = False
'~~> I am assuming that the names are in Col A
'~~> if not then change A below to whatever column letter
lRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
With .Range("A1:A" & lRow)
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=*" & strSearch & "*"
Set copyFrom = .Offset(1, 0).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow
End With
.AutoFilterMode = False
End With
'~~> Destination File
Set wb2 = ThisWorkbook
Set ws2 = wb2.Worksheets("New Upcoming Projects")
With ws2
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(.Cells) <> 0 Then
lRow = .Cells.Find(What:="*", _
After:=.Range("A2"), _
Lookat:=xlPart, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False).Row
Else
lRow = 2
End If
copyFrom.Copy
.Rows(lRow).PasteSpecial xlPasteAllExceptBorders, xlPasteSpecialOperationNone, False, False
.Rows.RemoveDuplicates Array(2), xlNo
End With
End Sub
It give this result:
It seems that the information is overlapping the column header instead of pasting it below the column header itself. I hope anyone could assist me in the codes to solve the problem of the rows being pasted on the column headers instead of on the empty rows. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
You might have to add the line
lRow = lRow + 1
after the section
lRow = .Cells.Find(What:="*", _
After:=.Range("A2"), _
Lookat:=xlPart, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False).Row

VBA - Find a column with a specific header and find sum of all the rows in that column

I have a large sheet. I have to set multiple filters in that sheet to columns headers in dynamic positions. Once the filters are set, I have to find the particular column in the sheet having the column header "Nov" and then obtain the sum of values in that column and import that particular sum value into a different worksheet.
I've written the code up until the part where i can set the filters to multiple columns, but I'm finding it difficult to find the column header and add that column. Below is the code I've written so far.
Sub Button2_Click()
Dim colName As Long
Dim colName1 As Long
Dim colName2 As Long
Dim r As Long
SearchV = Range("A8:DD8").Find(What:="Nov", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Column
lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, SearchV).End(xlUp).Row
colName = Range("A8:DD8").Find(What:="Teams", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Column
colName1 = Range("A8:DD8").Find(What:="Items", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Column
colName2 = Range("A8:DD8").Find(What:="Domain", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Column
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$8:$DD$9999").AutoFilter Field:=colName, Criteria1:="ST Test", Operator:=xlOr, Criteria2:=""
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$8:$DD$9999").AutoFilter Field:=colName1, Criteria1:="Variance", Operator:=xlOr, Criteria2:="(Blanks)"
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$8:$DD$9999").AutoFilter Field:=colName2, Criteria1:="9S", Operator:=xlOr, Criteria2:="(Blanks)"
The column headers always start from the 8th row. Some uesless information is present in the rows above. So what I want is, suppose the column 'Nov' is in H row. The sum should be calculated from H9 to the end of the last row. I had used this formula when the column was in 'H' column.
Cells(lastrow + 1, colName3).Formula = "=SUBTOTAL(9,H9:H" & lastrow & ")"
But the column 'Nov' won't always be present in row 'H', so i'm not able to figure out how to change my code to pick the column dynamically.
Ensure that you fully qualify your objects and also put in a check whether .Find returns something or not. Here is an example.
Let's say your worksheet looks like this
Now try this code
Option Explicit
Sub Sample()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim aCell As Range, Rng As Range
Dim col As Long, lRow As Long
Dim colName As String
'~~> Change this to the relevant sheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
With ws
Set aCell = .Range("A8:DD8").Find(What:="Nov", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
'~~> If Found
If Not aCell Is Nothing Then
col = aCell.Column
colName = Split(.Cells(, col).Address, "$")(1)
lRow = .Range(colName & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'~~> This is your range
Set Rng = .Range(colName & "8:" & colName & lRow)
Debug.Print Rng.Address
'~~> If not found
Else
MsgBox "Nov Not Found"
End If
End With
End Sub
Output

Find a Column ("name") and Fill down with Formula

Sheets("DATA").Rows(2).Find(What:="Apple", LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlWhole).Offset(1, 0).Value = "=A3-B3"
Selection.FillDown
I want to find a column "Apple" in Row 2 and filldown with formula "A3-B3"
Would something like .value="=A3-B3".filldown work?
Thanks!
Further to my comments above, try this. I have commented the code. Do let me know if you find anything confusing...
Sub Sample()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim LRow As Long
Dim aCell As Range
'~~> Set this to the relevant sheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data")
With ws
'~~> Find Last Row
LRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'~~> Find the cell which has "Apple"
Set aCell = .Rows(2).Find(What:="Apple", LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
'~~> if found, then enter the formula till the last row IN ONE GO
If Not aCell Is Nothing Then
.Range(.Cells(3, aCell.Column), .Cells(LRow, aCell.Column)).Formula = "=A3-B3"
End If
End With
End Sub
