I'm looking for some code that will look at Column A and as long as the cell in Column A is not blank, then the corresponding cell in Column B will equal a specific value.
So if Cell A1 <> "" then Cell B1.Value = "MyText"
And repeat until a cell in Column A is blank or empty.
To add a little more clarification, I have looked through the various loop questions asked and answered here. They were somewhat helpful. However, I'm unclear on how to get the loop to go through Column A to verify that each cell in Column A isn't blank AND in the corresponding cell in Column B, add some text that I specify.
Also, this will need to be part of a VBA macro and not part of a cell formula such as =IF
If you really want a vba solution you can loop through a range like this:
Sub Check()
Dim dat As Variant
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Long
Set rng = Range("A1:A100")
dat = rng
For i = LBound(dat, 1) To UBound(dat, 1)
If dat(i, 1) <> "" Then
rng(i, 2).Value = "My Text"
End If
Next
End Sub
*EDIT*
Instead of using varients you can just loop through the range like this:
Sub Check()
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Long
'Set the range in column A you want to loop through
Set rng = Range("A1:A100")
For Each cell In rng
'test if cell is empty
If cell.Value <> "" Then
'write to adjacent cell
cell.Offset(0, 1).Value = "My Text"
End If
Next
End Sub
Another way (Using Formulas in VBA). I guess this is the shortest VBA code as well?
Sub Sample()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim lRow As Long
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
With ws
lRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
.Range("B1:B" & lRow).Formula = "=If(A1<>"""",""My Text"","""")"
.Range("B1:B" & lRow).Value = .Range("B1:B" & lRow).Value
End With
End Sub
A simpler way to do this would be:
Sub populateB()
For Each Cel in Range("A1:A100")
If Cel.value <> "" Then Cel.Offset(0, 1).value = "Your Text"
Next
End Sub
Use the function IF :
=IF ( logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false )

I have a spreadsheet with values starting at A5 and running across to column AI, there could be any number of entries to the rows.
Row A contains an Item code (e.g. 000-0000)
I am looking to produce some code to complete the following two actions:
If column AI = yes, then copy entire row and paste below. With every copy add a sequential alphabetised letter to the code in column A (e.g. 000-0000a)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Everything i've found expands to copying to another sheet and i'm struggling to break down the code.
Thanks
Edit:
Please see below current code I have been trying to get to work which works up to the point of copying the row however fails to paste it.
Sub NewItems(c As Range)
Dim objWorksheet As Worksheet
Dim rngNewItems As Range
Dim rngCell As Range
Dim strPasteToSheet As String
'Used for the new worksheet we are pasting into
Dim objNewSheet As Worksheet
Dim rngNextAvailbleRow As Range
'Define the worksheet with our data
Set objWorksheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
'Dynamically define the range to the last cell.
'This doesn't include and error handling e.g. null cells
'If we are not starting in A1, then change as appropriate
Set rngNewItems = objWorksheet.Range("A5:A" & objWorksheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
'Now loop through all the cells in the range
For Each rngCell In rngNewItems.Cells
objWorksheet.Select
If rngCell.Value <> "Yes" Then
'select the entire row
rngCell.EntireRow.Select
'copy the selection
Selection.Copy
'Now identify and select the new sheet to paste into
Set objNewSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1" & rngCell.Value)
objNewSheet.Select
'Looking at your initial question, I believe you are trying to find the next available row
Set rngNextAvailbleRow = objNewSheet.Range("A1:A" & objNewSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
Range("A" & rngNextAvailbleRow.Rows.Count + 1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
Next rngCell
objWorksheet.Select
objWorksheet.Cells(1, 1).Select
'Can do some basic error handing here
'kill all objects
If IsObject(objWorksheet) Then Set objWorksheet = Nothing
If IsObject(rngBurnDown) Then Set rngNewItems = Nothing
If IsObject(rngCell) Then Set rngCell = Nothing
If IsObject(objNewSheet) Then Set objNewSheet = Nothing
If IsObject(rngNextAvailbleRow) Then Set rngNextAvailbleRow = Nothing
End Sub
So there are lots of things to address with your code. Many of which I have touched on. But the main thing to observe is that you are testing Column A not Column AI for the presence of "Yes" - so there may not be a match hence no copy.
As the paste destination is determined by a concatenation to create a sheet name you should have a test to ensure that sheet exists.
For testing I simply ensured a sheet called Sheet1a existed, that Sheet1 cell A5 had "a" in it, and there was a "Yes" in column AI. This could be improved but is enough to get you going.
This line is looping column A:
Set rngNewItems = objWorksheet.Range("A5:A" & lastRow)
Whereas this line is testing column AI:
If rngCell.Offset(, 35).Value <> "Yes"
Note <> means Not Equal as opposed to =
So perhaps you wanted:
If rngCell.Offset(, 35).Value = "Yes"
Consider the following re-write.
Option Explicit
Public Sub NewItems() 'c As Range) 'I have commented out parameter which isn't currently used.
Dim rngBurnDown As Range ' not used but also not declared
Dim objWorksheet As Worksheet
Dim rngNewItems As Range
Dim rngCell As Range
Dim strPasteToSheet As String
Dim objNewSheet As Worksheet
Dim lastRowTargetSheet As Long
Set objWorksheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = objWorksheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set rngNewItems = objWorksheet.Range("A5:A" & lastRow)
Dim copiedRange As Range 'for union
For Each rngCell In rngNewItems.Cells
'Debug.Print rngCell.Address 'shows where looping
If rngCell.Offset(, 35).Value = "Yes" Then
Set objNewSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1" & rngCell.Value)
Dim nextTargetCell As Range
lastRowTargetSheet = objNewSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set nextTargetCell = objNewSheet.Range("A" & lastRowTargetSheet)
rngCell.EntireRow.Copy nextTargetCell
Set objNewSheet = Nothing 'clear inside loop as you are setting in loop
lastRowTargetSheet = 0
Set nextTargetCell = Nothing
End If
Next rngCell
objWorksheet.Cells(1, 1).Select
End Sub
As for your lettering:
There are lots of examples online to generate these. Here is one way, by #harfang, from here:
Sub List_A_to_ZZZZ()
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To 20 ' I have shortened this QHarr. Original end was 475254 ' ColXL("ZZZZ")
Debug.Print Right("---" & XLcL(i), 4)
Next i
End Sub
Function XLcL(ByVal N As Long) As String
Do While N > 0
XLcL = Chr(vbKeyA + (N - 1) Mod 26) & XLcL
N = (N - 1) \ 26
Loop
End Function
Function ColXL(ByVal abc As String) As Long
abc = Trim(Replace(UCase(abc), "-", ""))
Do While Len(abc)
ColXL = ColXL * 26 + (Asc(abc) - vbKeyA + 1)
abc = Mid(abc, 2)
Loop
End Function
I have written a macro to remove rows containing certain text in it. If either of the keyword contains any text, the macro will delete the row. However, the macro doesn't work at all. Perhaps, i did something wrong in it. Hope somebody will help me rectify this. Thanks in advance.
Here is what I'm trying with:
Sub customized_row_removal()
Dim i As Long
i = 2
Do Until Cells(i, 1).Value = ""
If Cells(i, 1).Value = "mth" Or "rtd" Or "npt" Then
Cells(i, 1).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Delete
End If
i = i + 1
Loop
End Sub
The keyword within the text I was searching in to delete:
AIRLINE DRIVE OWNER mth
A rtd REPAIRS INC
AANA MICHAEL B ET AL
ABASS OLADOKUN
ABBOTT npt P
AIRLINE AANA MTH
ABASS REPAIRS NPT
Try like this.
What about Using Lcase.
Sub customized_row_removal()
Dim rngDB As Range, rngU As Range, rng As Range
Dim Ws As Worksheet
Set Ws = Sheets(1)
With Ws
Set rngDB = .Range("a2", .Range("a" & Rows.Count))
End With
For Each rng In rngDB
If InStr(LCase(rng), "mth") Or InStr(LCase(rng), "rtd") Or InStr(LCase(rng), "npt") Then
If rngU Is Nothing Then
Set rngU = rng
Else
Set rngU = Union(rngU, rng)
End If
End If
Next rng
If rngU Is Nothing Then
Else
rngU.EntireRow.Delete
End If
End Sub
VBA syntax of your Or is wrong,
If Cells(i, 1).Value = "mth" Or "rtd" Or "npt" Then
Should be:
If Cells(i, 1).Value = "mth" Or Cells(i, 1).Value = "rtd" Or Cells(i, 1).Value = "npt" Then
However, you need to use a string function, like Instr or Like to see if a certain string is found within a longer string.
Code
Option Explicit
Sub customized_row_removal()
Dim WordsArr As Variant
Dim WordsEl As Variant
Dim i As Long, LastRow As Long
Dim Sht As Worksheet
WordsArr = Array("mth", "rtd", "npt")
Set Sht = Worksheets("Sheet1")
With Sht
' get last row in column "A"
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For i = LastRow To 2 Step -1
For Each WordsEl In WordsArr
If LCase(.Cells(i, 1).Value) Like "*" & WordsEl & "*" Then
.Rows(i).Delete
End If
Next WordsEl
Next i
End With
End Sub
I try to make my code sample as I can if you have any question please ask
Private Sub remove_word_raw()
'PURPOSE: Clear out all cells that contain a specific word/phrase
Dim Rng As Range
Dim cell As Range
Dim ContainWord As String
'What range do you want to search?
Set Rng = Range("A2:A25")
'sub for the word
shorttext1 = "mth"
shorttext2 = "rtd"
shorttext3 = "npt"
'What phrase do you want to test for?
ContainWord1 = shorttext1
ContainWord2 = shorttext2
ContainWord3 = shorttext3
'Loop through each cell in range and test cell contents
For Each cell In Rng.Cells
If cell.Value2 = ContainWord1 Then cell.EntireRow.Delete
Next
For Each cell In Rng.Cells
If cell.Value2 = ContainWord2 Then cell.EntireRow.Delete
Next
For Each cell In Rng.Cells
If cell.Value2 = ContainWord3 Then cell.EntireRow.Delete
Next cell
End Sub
If I have a column of values, how do I read the values into a variable in VBA, perform some operation on it and then write it to the next column? Seems mind numbingly simple but I haven't been able to find a simple guide.
for example:
Column A = 1, 4, 5, 7
without writing formulas into column B
Dim A, B
A = column a
B = log(A)
write the values of B to the next column.
Thanks!
If you want to loop through a whole sheet you can do it like this.
Dim lRow as long
Dim strA as string
Dim strB as string
Dim ws As Excel.Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
lRow = 1
Do While lRow <= ws.UsedRange.Rows.count
'Read the data from columnA
strA = ws.Range("A" & lRow).Value
'do something with the value you got from A
strB = strA & "some other text"
strB = log(strA)
'Write it to C
ws.Range("C" & lRow).Value = strB
lRow = lRow + 1
ws.Range("A" & lRow).Activate
Loop
Or if you just want a certain predefined row it would be more hard coded like this.
'Read the data from columnA
strA = ws.Range("A6").Value
'do something with the value you got from A
strB = strA & "some other text"
strB = log(strA)
'Write it to C
ws.Range("C6").Value = strB
Try this macro:
Sub test()
Dim cel As Range, rng As Range
Dim logCel As Double
Dim lastRow As Integer
lastRow = Cells(1048576, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(lastRow, 1)) 'Create a range to search
For Each cel In rng
If Not IsEmpty(cel) Then 'If the cell has a value in it
logCel = Log(cel) 'add the LOG of the value to a variable
cel.Offset(0, 1).Value = logCel 'In the cell to the right of the cell, put the log
End If
Next cel
End Sub
To learn about setting cell values and such, I highly recommend using the macro recorder, then looking through the macro when you're done. Start the recorder, then enter a value into a cell, then in the one next, enter a log of that one, and you'll get some idea of how VBA works.
Rather than looping through cell by cell you would write directly to the worksheet using a LOG formula (no need for an array as the manipulation can be used directly with inserting a formula):
Sub LikeThis()
Dim rng1 As Range
`work on A1:A20 and write to B1:B20
Set rng1 = [a1:a20]
rng1.Offset(0, 1).FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC[-1]>0,LOG(RC[-1]),""not valid"")"
End Sub
I have searched a bit for a VBA code that will list me a row reference and am not finding results. Perhaps I am missing what the actual term for it is?
I have a list of names in Column A, starting at A2. Then what I would like is a listing of 1,2,3,4,5 going down Column B, starting from B2, until the names stop.
I can do this as a formula but need to have the values set there by a macro in this case.
Can this be done?
If I understand you correctly then this should work:
Sub test()
Dim lastRow As Long, counter As Long
Dim cell As Range
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("NAME_OF_YOUR_WORKSHEET")
lastRow = ws.Range("A" & ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
counter = 1
For Each cell In ws.Range("B2:B" & lastRow)
cell.Value = counter
counter = counter + 1
Next cell
End Sub
No need for a loop:
Sub NumberRows()
With Sheets("Sheet Name Here")
With .Range("B2:B" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row)
.Formula = "=ROW()-1"
.Value = .Value
End With
End With
End Sub
I have one file with two worksheets, both are full of names and addresses. I need a macro that will highlight rows in the first sheet if the cell A of that row does not match any rows from column A of the second sheet.
So if the first cell in a row has no matching data in any of the data in column A of sheet2 then that row is highlighted red.
Also I might want to expand this in the future so could I also specify that Sheet1 can be the active sheet, but sheet2 is called by the sheet name?
Try below code :
Sub Sample()
Dim lastRow As Integer
Dim rng As Range
lastRow = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A65000").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To lastRow
Set rng = Sheets("sheet2").Range("A:A").Find(Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 1))
If rng Is Nothing Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 1).EntireRow.Interior.Color = vbRed
End If
Next
End Sub
Here's an ugly brute-force approach:
Dim r As Range
Dim s As Range
For Each r In ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows
For Each s In Sheets("Sheet2").UsedRange.Rows
If r.Cells(1, 1).Value = s.Cells(1, 1).Value Then
r.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
Next s
Next r
Here's a slicker way:
Dim r As Range
Dim s As Range
Set s = Sheets("Sheet2").Columns(1)
For Each r In ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows
If Not (s.Find(r.Cells(1, 1).Value) Is Nothing) Then
r.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End If
Next r
how about this:
Sub CondFormatting()
Range("D1:D" & Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row).Formula = "=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A:A,Sheet2!A:A,1,FALSE)),""NOT FOUND"",VLOOKUP(A:A,Sheet2!A:A,1,FALSE))"
With Columns("D:D")
.FormatConditions.Delete
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue, Operator:=xlEqual, Formula1:="=""NOT FOUND"""
.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End With
Range("I16").Select
End Sub
here is an approach using a Worksheet formula:
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A:A,Sheet2!A:A,1,FALSE)),"NOT FOUND",VLOOKUP(A:A,Sheet2!A:A,1,FALSE))
then you would use Conditional formatting to turn the cells red if column A doesn't find a match!
