I want to iterate through data (simular to that shown below) that is stored in different cells and combine them into a single cell seperated by a new line (chr(10)). The amount of data that needs to be imported into one cell will change.
2991
19391
423
435
436
The code needs to iterate through the whole sheet regardless of any line breaks. The required format is:
2991 - all three cells would be combined into one cell in the next column to this one.
19391
423
-Line space, this will need to be taken into account and is the seperator of data.
26991 - all four cells would be combined into one cell in the next column to this one.
19331
424
6764
Below is what I have got so far, it takes the column to the left of the current row and combines it, which is wrong.
Sub ConcatColumns()
Do While ActiveCell <> "" 'Loops until the active cell is blank.
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).FormulaR1C1 = _
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1) & chr(10) & ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0)
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
End Sub
You can achieve the above with this code
Sub Main()
Dim i As Long
Dim c As Range
For i = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row To 1 Step -1
Dim strBuilder As String
Set c = Range("A" & i)
If Not IsEmpty(c) And i <> 1 Then
strBuilder = c & Chr(10) & strBuilder
ElseIf i = 1 Then
strBuilder = c & Chr(10) & strBuilder
c.Offset(0, 1) = Left(strBuilder, Len(strBuilder) - 1)
strBuilder = vbNullString
Else
c.Offset(1, 1) = Left(strBuilder, Len(strBuilder) - 1)
strBuilder = vbNullString
End If
Next i
End Sub
I think this could be done using a UDF.
Something like
Public Function JoinValues(rng As Range) As String
Dim cell As Range
Dim str As String
For Each cell In rng
If cell.Value <> "" Then
str = str & cell.Value & Chr(10)
End If
Next cell
If Len(str) > 1 Then JoinValues = Left(str, Len(str) - 1)
End Function
Then usage would be =JoinValues(A1:A10) in a cell to join values. You would also have to change cell formatting in the target cell to allow wrapping text for this to work properly.
Assuming your values start in cell A2 enter
=IF(A1="",joinvalues(OFFSET(A2,0,0,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(ISBLANK(A2:A10000),0,0),0)-1)),"")
in B2 and drag the function down.

I have coded following macro, it is working when I save the values to immediate window, but don't know how to populate the values, delimited with "," into one cell. Basically I look for "Active" in a column, and if found, go 4 cells to the left and take the info from there...
Could you help please?
Dim Active() As Variant
Dim i
ReDim Active(Range("G9:G24").Cells.Count)
For Each Zelle In Range("G9:G24")
If InStr(1, Zelle, "Active") <> 0 Then
Active(i) = Zelle.Offset(0, -4)
End If
i = i + 1
Next Zelle
For i = LBound(Active) To UBound(Active)
If Trim(Active(i)) <> "" Then
Debug.Print Active(i)
End If
Next i
End Sub
Add the following
Dim s As String
Then rewrite the loop like this:
For i = LBound(Active) To UBound(Active)
If Trim(Active(i)) <> "" Then
s = s & IIf(Len(s)>0, ",", "") & trim(Active(i))
End If
Next i
Then you can assign s to a cell.
you can greatly shorten your code by looping through wanted range cells corresponding to not-blank cells only in column C
Dim Zelle As Range
Dim resultStrng As String
For Each Zelle In Range("G9:G24").Offset(,-4).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants) '<--| loop through not blank cell in range 4 columns to the left of G9:G24
If InStr(1, Zelle.Offset(, 4), "Active") <> 0 And Trim(Zelle) <> "" And Instr(resultStrng, Trim(Zelle)) =0 Then resultStrng = resultStrng & Trim(Zelle) & "," '<--| update your result string whenever current cell has a character and its 4 columns to the right offset cell meets the "Active" criteria
Next Zelle
If resultStrng <> "" Then resultStrng = Left(resultStrng, Len(resultStrng) - 1) '<-- remove the last comma from 'resultStrng'
I would need to replace the line breaks in a cell, with a line break and the content of a cell in the same column of the active cell.
The code would be something like this:
For i = LBound(arColumns) To UBound(arColumns)
'ActiveColumn = arColumns(i)
Set rng = Range(arColumns(i))
For Each Cell In rng.Cells
If Cell.row > 4 And Cell.row < r Then
colnum=cell.column
Cell.value = "{Something}" & Cells(3, colnum).value & _
", text here{/something}" & Cell.value 'First line in the cell
cell.replace what:=vbCrLf, replacement:=vbCrLf & "{Something}" & _
Cells(3, colnum).value & ", text here{/something}" 'First try
Cell.value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(CStr(Cell.value), vbCrLf, vbCrLf & _
"{maxlen}{/maxlen}{notes}" & ", No Max length{/notes}") 'Second try
End If
Next
Next
I've tried to replace the values of the line breaks with the two methods, replace and substitute. None of them have been working or I am doing something wrong with this block of code.
The array arColumns have the range of columns that I want to work, for example: B:C,E:E,M:O,Z:AB...
along with the vbLf fix you've already been told, you could refactor your code as follows:
Option Explicit
Sub main()
Dim arColumns As Variant
Dim cell As Range
Dim r As Long, i As Long
arColumns = Array("B:C", "E:E", "M:O", "Z:AB")
r = 10 '<--| just to have a value to test with
For i = LBound(arColumns) To UBound(arColumns)
For Each cell In Intersect(Range(arColumns(i)), Rows("4:" & r)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants) '<--| loop through current columnns group not empty cells from row 4 to 'r'
cell.Replace what:=vbLf, replacement:=vbLf & "{Something}" & Cells(3, cell.Column).Value & ", text here{/something}" 'First try
Next
Next
End Sub
The purpose of this macro is copy one cell value (from a long list) to another cell located in a different sheet.
here's my code:
Sub journalben()
Set rawben = Sheets("BEN")
Set finaljnl = Sheets("JNL_BEN")
Set Rng = Range("G2:G1048576")
For Each cell In Rng
'test if cell is empty
If cell.Value <> "" Then
finaljnl.Range("L4").Value = rawben.Range("G5").Value
finaljnl.Range("K4").Value = rawben.Range("L5").Value
End If
Next
End Sub
With the help of the image, I will explain what I'm trying to achieve:
From Sheet1 ("BEN") there's a list sitting in columns G and L.
I will copy the cell G5 from Sheet1 and paste it in Sheet2 ("JNL_BEN") Range K4.
Next is I will copy the cell L5 from Sheet1 and paste it in Sheet2 ("JNL_BEN") Range L4.
Copy the next in line and do the same process just like No.2 and 3 but this time, it will adjust 1 row below.
Copy the whole list. That means up to the bottom. The list is dynamic, sometimes it will go for 5,000 rows.
For some reasons, copying the entire column is not an option to this macro due to requirement that cells from sheet1 MUST be pasted or placed in Sheet2 from left to right (or horizontally).
I hope you could spare some time to help me. My code didn't work, I guess the implementation of FOR EACH is not correct. I'm not sure if FOR EACH is the best code to use.
I appreciate anyone's help on this. Thank you very much! May the force be with you.
Try this:
Sub journalben()
Dim i As Long, lastRow As Long
Set rawben = Sheets("BEN")
Set finaljnl = Sheets("JNL_BEN")
lastRow = rawben.Cells(Rows.Count, "G").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 5 To lastRow
'test if cell is empty
If rawben.Range("G" & i).Value <> "" Then
finaljnl.Range("K" & i - 1).Value = rawben.Range("G" & i).Value
finaljnl.Range("L" & i - 1).Value = rawben.Range("L" & i).Value
End If
Next i
End Sub
I am starting FOR from 5 as the data in your image starts from cell G5 (not considering the header).
It'll be easier to use a numeric variable for this :
Sub journalben()
Set rawben = Sheets("BEN")
Set finaljnl = Sheets("JNL_BEN")
Set Rng = rawben.Range("G4:G1048576")
For i = Rng.Cells(1,1).Row to Rng.Cells(1,1).End(xlDown).Row
'test if cell is empty
If rawben.Range("G" & i).Value <> vbNullString Then
finaljnl.Range("L" & i - 1).Value = rawben.Range("G" & i).Value
finaljnl.Range("K" & i - 1).Value = rawben.Range("L" & i).Value
End If
Next i
End Sub
You should use a simple for loop. It is easier to work with.
Also, to have it dynamic and to go to the last cell in the range, use the SpecialCells method.
And your range needs to be set correctly from row 5.
Here is the code:
Sub journalben()
Set rawben = Sheets("BEN")
Set finaljnl = Sheets("JNL_BEN")
Set Rng = Range("G5:G1048576")
For i = Rng.Cells(1,1).Row to Rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row
If rawben.Range("G" & i).Value <> vbNullString Then
finaljnl.Range("L" & CStr(i - 1)).Value = rawben.Range("G" & CStr(i)).Value
finaljnl.Range("K" & CStr(i - 1)).Value = rawben.Range("L" & CStr(i)).Value
End If
Next i
End Sub
I need your help please, I have 4 columns in an excel sheet and I need to compare them 2 by 2 i will explain to you :
In column A i have users(user1,user2,user3 ...)
In column B i have functionalities ( fonc1, fonc2, fonc3.....)
In column C i have users(user1,user2,user3 ...)
In column D i have functionalities ( fonc1, fonc2, fonc3.....)
The columns C and D are a new version of columns A and B in the columns C and D the users may change order or change functionalities .
When i execute my code i put the result in other new columns:
column F where i have the users
column G where i put the Deleted_functionalities
column H where i put the New_functionalities
The first problem is that the code doesn't get the users it get only the new and deleted functionalities. The second problem is that when the column A is more than column C where the users are stocked the code doesn't work. Can you please help me to find a solution? Thank you in advance .
Here is my code and the file I am working on :
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim rngCell As Range
For Each rngCell In Range("B2:B2000")
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("D2:D2000"), rngCell) = 0 Then
Range("G" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = rngCell
End If
Next
For Each rngCell In Range("D2:D2000")
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("B2:B2000"), rngCell) = 0 Then
Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = rngCell
End If
Next
End Sub
and this is the excel file
http://www.cjoint.com/c/FCxnwjp22rv
try this
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim cell As Range, funcCell As Range
Dim oldUserRng As Range, newUserRng As Range, reportRng As Range

If funcCell Is Nothing Then
reportRng.Offset(iReport) = Array(.Value, "", "", oldFunc)
Else
newFunc = funcCell.Value
If newFunc = oldFunc Then
reportRng.Offset(iReport) = Array(.Value, "", "", newFunc)

End If
iReport = iReport + 1
End With

Not so sure it does what you need.
you'd better provide screenshots of "before" and "after" scenarios.
BTW, is it safe to assume that both old and new user columns cannot hold duplicates (i.e.: two or more "userX" in column A and/or column C?)
But it does speed up thing considerably since it iterates only through non empty cells.
I hope I get what you want to achieve. Does the following solve your problem?
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim rngCell As Range
For Each rngCell In Range("A2:A20000")
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("C2:C20000"), rngCell) > 0 Then
Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = rngCell
Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(0, 1) = rngCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(0, 2) = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(rngCell.Value, Range("C2:D20000"), 2, 0)
ElseIf (rngCell <> "") Then
Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = rngCell
Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(0, 1) = rngCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
End If
Next
For Each rngCell In Range("C2:C20000")
If (WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("A2:A20000"), rngCell) = 0 And rngCell <> "") Then
Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = rngCell
Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(0, 2) = rngCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
End If
Next
End Sub
A user is only included in column F when he appears both in columns A and C.In case you want to include every user that is either in column A or C the code has to be altered.
I'm developing a worksheet users can fill out to generate a file that can be uploaded into SAP.
The worksheet will generate a mass upload of individual entries. Users will be asked to provide attributes for each line item they are requesting, which may vary based on the selection made (i.e. one row may have 5 attributes while the next may have 7).
I want to write a macro that will look at each row, starting from the top, and concatenate only the attribute columns (which are separated by two other columns in each instance) which are not blank and use a delimiter between each field.
I've been able to use some code I found through Microsoft to get the looping done (see below), but I can't figure out how to have the concatenate stop when a column is blank and then move to the next row.
Sub Submit()
Range("C2").Activate
Do While ActiveCell <> ""
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 21).FormulaR1C1 = _
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0) & "-" & ActiveCell.Offset(0, 3) & "-" &
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 6) & "-" & ActiveCell.Offset(0, 9) & "-" & ActiveCell.Offset(0, 12) & "-" & ActiveCell.Offset(0, 15) & "-" & ActiveCell.Offset(0, 18)
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
End Sub
Right now, this code will take a five attribute entry and leave me with "1-2-3-4-5--", when I really want it to show up as "1-2-3-4-5".
Any thoughts on how I can go about doing this? Eventually, I want to be able to store those strings and populate them in a new workbook with some other information copied over from the original workbook.
Untested:
Sub Submit()
Dim c As Range, c2 As Range, v as String
Set c = Range("C2")
Do While c.Value <> ""
Set c2 = c
v = ""
Do While c2.value <> ""
v = v & IIf(v <> "", "-", "") & c2.value
Set c2 = c2.offset(0, 3)
Loop
c.offset(0, 21).Value = v
Set c = c.Offset(1, 0)
Loop
End Sub
This is a quick answer, so may not have everything you're after:
Public Function Submit(Target As Range) As String
Dim sFinalOutput As String
Dim rCell As Range
'Cylce through each cell in your range.
For Each rCell In Target
'Look at the column number divided by 3 - if it's 0 then carry on.
If rCell.Column Mod 3 = 0 Then
If rCell.Value2 <> "" Then
'Grab the value from the cell and add it to the final output.
sFinalOutput = sFinalOutput & "-" & rCell.Value2
End If
End If
Next rCell
Submit = sFinalOutput
End Function
Use it in a formula such as: =submit(C4:L4)
