I don't know how to write a macro that designates a cell within a column as a "master cell" (editable) copy that cells value to all the cells below it in that column, until it reaches a blank/clear formatted cell in column A. So I want it to look at column A to know when to stop copying the cell values in whichever column.
That is, Cell "C5" will be a master cell, the macro will copy it's value from "C6:C" but looking at column A's cell values to see if it has nothing in it and there's no formatting such as color fill, etc. and instead of the macro continuing on in column C to infinity (maximum increment for Excel) it will stop at A column's first blank cell row.
Sub Example()
Dim MasterValue As String
Dim StopRow As Long
Dim i As Long
'Get the master value
MasterValue = Range("C5").Value
'Get the first blank cell in column A
StopRow = Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row
'Start at row 6 and continue to the "Stop Row"
For i = 6 To StopRow
'Set every cell from row 6 in column 3 to the "Master Value"
Cells(i, 3).Value = MasterValue
Next
End Sub

In column J there are empty rows and rows with a value such as checked.
I have tried to write VBA code that prints "unchecked" where there is an empty cell AND this works, but when it hits a cell with a value (checked) it stops. And it won't go down to the next cell probably because I have formulas in the cell that prints nothing if not fullfilled, but it still contains that formula. In my case I have empty cells until J7 and then it starts again at J15. But this can change from time to time regarding source data.
The reason I want to do it like this is because I have a formula in column J that already have printed some values and then some VBA code that checks for other values in a different column and prints to column J. Column J is the filter master column sort of. So this is the way I have to do it I guess.
My code right now is,
Sub DoIfNotEmpty()
Dim ra As Range, re As Range
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set ra = .Range("J:j25")
For Each re In ra
If IsEmpty(re.Value) Then
re.Value = "unchecked"
End If
Next re
End With
End Sub
Can I print to empty cells if the cell contains a formula which in this case has an if statement that is not filled?
Except from #Maxime Porté's points out that it should be .Range("J1:j25"). I guess the cells only look empty, but they are not.
A cell that contains an empty string, "", is not empty anymore, but it looks like it. You can test it like this:
In a new worksheet write in A1: ="" (there is no space in between!)
Copy A1 and special paste values in A1. A1 now looks to be empty.
Run Debug.Print IsEmpty(Range("A1").Value) in VBA and you get a FALSE.
The cell A1 is not empty any more, because it contains an empty string.
What can you do?
Sub DoIfNotEmpty()
Dim ra As Range, re As Range
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set ra = .Range("J1:J25")
For Each re In ra
If IsEmpty(re.Value) or re.Value = vbNullString Then
re.Value = "unchecked"
End If
Next re
End With
End Sub
This will mark pseudo empty cells as "unchecked" too. But be aware that it also kills formulas that result in an empty string, "".
You could exploit the Specialcells() method of Range object:
Sub DoIfNotEmpty()
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("J1:J25").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Value = "unchecked"
End Sub
Or, if you have formulas returning blanks, then AutoFilter() "blank" cells and write in them
Sub DoIfNotEmpty()
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheeet1").Range("J1:J25") '<--| reference your range (first row must be a "header")
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="" '<--| filter its empty cells
If Application.WorksheetFunction.Subtotal(103, .cells) > 1 Then .Resize(.Rows.Count - 1).Offset(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Value = "unchecked" '<--| if any cell filtered other than headers then write "unchecked" in them
.Parent.AutoFilterMode = False
End With
End Sub
I have a range of cells B2:AB40.
If every cell in each row within the the range is blank (by which I mean no text or numbers, just colour fill and border formatting), I want to hide the whole of the row using a macro.
e.g.
If every cell in the range B2:AB2 is blank then hide all of row 2.
If every cell in the range B3:AB3 is blank then hide all of row 3
If every cell in the range B4:AB4 is blank then hide all of row 4..etc etc etc
Up to and including row 40.
N.B. Each cell in column A and AC in every row adjacent to the specified range will always have text (someone's name and a formula result respectively) and this cannot be changed.
I have seen various ways of doing this based on a single cell but cannot seem to adapt them for my purposes.
Any help is appreciated.
Consider:
Sub RowHider()
Dim I As Long, wf As WorksheetFunction
Set wf = Application.WorksheetFunction
For I = 2 To 40
If wf.CountA(Range("B" & I & ":AB" & I)) = 0 Then
Rows(I).Hidden = True
Else
Rows(I).Hidden = False
End If
Next I
End Sub
Note the usage of a worksheet function in VBA.
Try this
Sub HideRangeIfEmpty()
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("b2:AB2")) = 0 Then
Range("b2:AB2").EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
End Sub
I have this problem: in Excel file I have two sheets. In first sheet I am entering values, changing values, deleting values... Sometimes, in one cell I enter value like this 125+138+458
Now, I need to copy values into next sheet, but only values that have been first entered into first sheet.
I found this code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim VRange As Range, cell As Range
Dim Msg As String
Dim ValidateCode As Variant
Set VRange = Range("B119:H130")
For Each cell In Target
If Union(cell, VRange).Address = VRange.Address Then
Cells(cell.Row, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(, 1) = Date & " " & Time
Cells(cell.Row, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(, 1) = cell.Value
End If
Next cell End Sub
that is ok, because now I have time of change and value that change...I need to have cell value of header of column and only first change of cell.
how to do that?
in your 2nd sheet, you can put this in a cell: ´=Sheet1!A1".
Sheet 1:
A1: 50
B1: =A1 + 20
Sheet 2:
A1: =Sheet1!A1 //Will output "50"
B1: =Sheet1!B1 //Will output '70"
Change A1from sheet 1 to any other value, and the 2 cells in sheet 2 will update as well.
I have been using simple excel array formulas to count certain values on a master sheet but now at the point where I have too many formulas in my document and excel is crashing.
Therefore, I would like to create a macro that can do the same task. I would like to have the code do the following:
IF the activecell in Sheet1 matches to any cell in a column(or range) in Sheet2,
AND IF the cell in the same row in an adjacent column in Sheet2 is not blank,
THEN count all the instances that specific string appears in Sheet2 column A
AND place the value 2 columns to the right of the original active cell in Sheet1.
Here is the original array formula I was using:
=SUM(IF(Sheet1!$A8=Sheet2!$A:$A,IF(SalesF_SignUp_data!$C:$C>1,1,0)))
The formula above is taking the cell A8 in Sheet1 and checking if it matches to any cell in Sheet2 column A,
AND making sure that column C in Sheet2 is not blank in the same row.
If this is TRUE then "add 1" for all the instances
AND place that value in Sheet1.
I believe the best way to do this is a For Next Loop but haven't been able to execute any successful code based on examples I've found.
Im happy to explain further if needed. Since I dont have a reputation of 10 I cant attach images but am willing to send if needed.
This is set up to run for all the cells you've selected in column A of sheet 1.
It looks in Sheet2 column A for the value on Sheet1 column A, then in Sheet1 column B, displays how many times the value appeared in Sheet2 column A along with a value in the same row of column C.
If the answer is helpful, please mark it as such. :-)

The code below would search through a row and its associated columns.
For Row 7, if it is a "N" or "TR" and if all entries are blank below line 12,the code would hide the entire column.
However, I still need help with some further help!
If there is a "N" or "TR" in row 7. If there is something writen in any cell, (rather than leaving it alone), can I highlight its associated cell in row 7 in yellow?
If ther eis a "Y" in row 7, If there is any empty cells, can I highlight its associated cell in row 7 in yellow?
Thank you so much! special thanks to KazJaw for my previous post about simular issue

Here you have an improved version of your code (although I might need further clarifications... read below).
Sub checkandhide()
Dim r as Range, Cell As Range, curRange As Range
Set r = Range("A7", Cells(7, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft))
For Each Cell In r
Set curRange = Range(Cells(13, Cell.Column), Cells(Rows.Count, Cell.Column)) 'Range from row 13 until last row in the given column
If Cell.Value = "N" Or Cell.Value = "TR" Then
If Application.CountBlank(curRange) = curRange.Cells.Count Then
Cell.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
Cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 'http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/excel/colors.htm
End If
ElseIf Cell.Value = "Y" Then
If Application.CountBlank(curRange) > 0 Then
Cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 'http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/excel/colors.htm
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
I am not sure if I have understood your instructions properly and thus I will describe here what this code does exactly; please, comment any issue which is not exactly as you want and such that I can update the code accordingly:
It looks for all the cells in range r.
If the given cell (which might be in row 7 or in any other row below it) meets one of the conditions, the corresponding actions would be performed.
Part of the conditions depends on curRange, which is defined as all the rows between row number 13 until the end of the spreadsheet.
Specific conditions:
a) If the value of the current cell is N or TR. If all the cells in curRange are blank, the current column is hidden. If there is, at least, a non-blank cell, the background color of the given cell would be set to yellow.
b) If the value of the current cell is Y and there is, at least, one cell in curRange which is not blank, the background color of the background cell would be set to yellow.
