Copy and Paste Loop based on Cell value - vba

Created a macro below thanks to help from another that works.
Basically, it takes the value of the cell in column A and, if a sheet doesn't exist with that cells name, creates it. Then it pastes all rows of data that have the corresponding cell value to that sheet. Ie. if a cell contains the following:
column a column b
dc00025 data value
If dc00025 doesn't exist, it'll make the sheet. And paste all rows with dc00025 in A.
This works perfectly. However, I noticed when you run this macro after a sheet has already been created, for some reason it adds thousands of columns dramatically slowing down excel.
To fix this, would it be possible to modify the script to only copy columns b:o rather tahnt he entire row? Pasting them starting at A3 would be preferable but I'm not sure how to fix that.
Thanks in advance.

Faster way to Vlookup and return multiple results?

I have looked for over a day here in Stackoverflow and cannot find an answer to what I am trying to do.
All I need is a vba code that Vlookups and return the multiple results,
Eg; the lookup value is in sheet1 A1, data is in sheet2 columns A1:B40000, match the values in sheet2 A1:A40000 and returns the values from Sheet2 column B1:B40000.
Note:Its possible to find upto 5000 matches in sheet2 A1:A40000.
I have tried several ways to do this, such as Array formula (VERY SLOW), UDF (SLOW), VBA-AutoFilter(SLOW).
Is there any way to do this quickly?
Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Code tested with 40,000 entries, and this completes basically instantly:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim ws2 As Worksheet
Dim vLoookupVal As Variant
Dim vValues As Variant
Dim aResults() As Variant
Dim lResultCount As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim lIndex As Long
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set ws1 = Me 'This is the sheet that contains the lookup value
Set ws2 = wb.Sheets("Sheet2") 'This is the sheet that contains the table of values
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, ws1.Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then
ws1.Columns("B").ClearContents 'Clear previous results
vLoookupVal = Intersect(Target, ws1.Range("A1")).Value
lResultCount = WorksheetFunction.CountIf(ws2.Columns("A"), Target.Value)
If lResultCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "No matches found for [" & vLoookupVal & "]", , "No Matches"
Else
ReDim aResults(1 To lResultCount, 1 To 1)
lIndex = 0
vValues = ws2.Range("A1:B" & ws2.Cells(ws2.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row).Value
For i = LBound(vValues, 1) To UBound(vValues, 1)
If vValues(i, 1) = vLoookupVal Then
lIndex = lIndex + 1
aResults(lIndex, 1) = vValues(i, 2)
End If
Next i
ws1.Range("B1").Resize(lResultCount).Value = aResults
End If
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Maybe your AutoFilter code wasn't like this one?
Private Sub Main()
Dim lookUpVal As Variant
lookUpVal = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
With Worksheets("Sheet2")
With .Range("A1", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(.Cells, lookUpVal) = 0 Then Exit Sub
.AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:= lookUpVal
.Resize(,2).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B1")
End With
.AutoFilterMode= False
End With
End Sub
Pivot table would speed things up and you can use the filter as the search function?

How to debug VBA code using .Find and Offset?

I'm practising VBA and I need some help / correction for my code.
In this task I'm creating a search tool which looks up each worksheet for the selected value from a combobox. Each result is listed on the first page.
Problems:
In the code I defined the .Find method in to a range rFound. On each worksheet the searched value is at column D. I would like to copy the row from column B to E. I've commented an attempt how did I tried to select that range, with offset but I receive an error. Why and how to fix that?
When I want to paste (list) the results I want it to start from the 1st page 3rd row column K. After running the code it selects the right target but pastes nothing. How to fix this?
I've also made some attempts to copy the document header after each search result, but I commented them out, please ignore lines with getOwner.
Dim ws As Worksheet, OutputWs As Worksheet, wsLists As Worksheet
Dim rFound As Range ', getOwner As Range
Dim strName As String
Dim count As Long, LastRow As Long
Dim IsValueFound As Boolean
'Dim cboSelectName As ComboBox
Dim a As String
IsValueFound = False
Set OutputWs = Worksheets("Teszt") '---->change the sheet name as required
LastRow = OutputWs.Cells(Rows.count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set wsLists = Worksheets("Lists")
a = ComboBox1.Value
On Error Resume Next
strName = a
If strName = "" Then Exit Sub
For Each ws In Worksheets
If ws.Name <> "Output" Then
With ws.UsedRange
Set rFound = .Find(What:=strName, After:=.Cells(1, 1), LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
If Not rFound Is Nothing Then
Application.Goto rFound, True
IsValueFound = True
'MsgBox rFound.Row
rFound.EntireRow.Copy
'Rfound keres - rFound.Range(rFound(Offset(-2,")),rFound.Offset(1,"")).Copy ' ---> This is a suggestion
OutputWs.Cells(LastRow + 2, 11).PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
'getOwner.Range(K2, R2).Copy ' attempt to copy the header for each search result
'getOwner.Cells(LastRow + 1, 6).Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
LastRow = LastRow + 1
End If
End With
End If
Next ws
On Error GoTo 0
If IsValueFound Then
OutputWs.Select
MsgBox "Search Complete!"
Else
MsgBox "Value not found"
End If
You are selection entire row but you are pasting it to the column K. If you copy entire row, you can only copy it to column A. That's why it is not working. So I suggest you to work on Offset part.
In Offset, first part is rows, second part is columns.
you can do something like that,
Dim sth as Range
set sth = .range(.rfound.offset(0,-2),.rfound.offset(0,1)).copy
But I am not sure of it. Not very good at that.

search a worksheet for all value VBA Excel

I have a worksheet that has multiple value and what I would like to do is search say column "B" for a value and when it finds it to copy the complete row and paste it somewhere else. I have a similar function to do this but it stops after it finds the first one which is fine for the situation that I am using it in but for this case I need it to copy all that match. below is the code that im using at the moment that only gives me one value
If ExpIDComboBox.ListIndex <> -1 Then
strSelect = ExpIDComboBox.value
lastRow = wks1.range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).row
Set rangeList = wks1.range("A2:A" & lastRow)
On Error Resume Next
row = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(strSelect, wks1.Columns(1), 0) ' searches the worksheet to find a match
On Error GoTo 0
If row Then
Thanks
I would suggest to load data into array first and then operate on this array instead of operating on cells and using Worksheet functions.
'(...)
Dim data As Variant
Dim i As Long
'(...)
If ExpIDComboBox.ListIndex <> -1 Then
strSelect = ExpIDComboBox.Value
lastRow = wks1.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'Load data to array instead of operating on worksheet cells directly - it will improve performance.
data = wks1.Range("A2:A" & lastRow)
'Iterate through all the values loaded in this array ...
For i = LBound(data, 1) To UBound(data, 1)
'... and check if they are equal to string [strSelect].
If data(i, 1) = strSelect Then
'Row i is match, put the code here to copy it to the new destination.
End If
Next i
End If
I have used the Range.Find() method to search each row. For each row of data which it finds, where the value you enter matches the value in column G, it will copy this data to Sheet2. You will need to amend the Sheet variable names.
Option Explicit
Sub copyAll()
Dim rngFound As Range, destSheet As Worksheet, findSheet As Worksheet, wb As Workbook
Dim strSelect As String, firstFind As String
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set findSheet = wb.Sheets("Sheet1")
Set destSheet = wb.Sheets("Sheet2")
strSelect = ExpIDComboBox.Value
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With findSheet
Set rngFound = .Columns(7).Find(strSelect, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not rngFound Is Nothing Then
firstFind = rngFound.Address
Do
.Range(.Cells(rngFound.Row, 1), .Cells(rngFound.Row, _
.Cells(rngFound.Row, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column)).Copy
destSheet.Cells(destSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll
Set rngFound = .Columns(2).Find(strSelect, LookIn:=xlValues, After:=.Range(rngFound.Address))
Loop While firstFind <> rngFound.Address
End If
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I've assumed you will have data between columns A:G?
Otherwise you can just amend the .Copy and .PasteSpecial methods to fit your requirements.
Thanks for your replys. I tired to use both methods but for some reason they did not seem to work. They did not give me an error they just did not produce anything.#mielk I understand what you mean about using an array to do this and it will be a lot faster and more efficent but I dont have enfough VBA knowledge to debug as to why it did not work. I tried other methods and finally got it working and thought it might be usefull in the future for anybody else trying to get this to work. Thanks once again for your answers :)

N.B. this is not the most efficent way of doing this read mielk's answer and the other answer as they are better if you can get them working.

Selecting a field in macro and cutting it out in a loop

I need to select a field of cells (table) in an Excel worksheet, cut the selection out and then paste it into a new separate sheet. There are like thousand tables below one another in this worksheet and I want to automaticly cut them out and paste them into separate sheets. The tables are separated by cells with the # symbol inside but I dont know if it is helpful in any way. When I recorded this macro for the first table it run like this:
Sub Makro1()
Range("A2:AB20").Select
Selection.Cut
Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Paste
End Sub
Now I want to make a loop which would go through the whole worksheet, dynamically select every table which would be delimited by the # sign in a col A and paste it into new sheet. I dont want to choose exact range A2:AB20, but I want to make selection according to this # sign.
Here's a screenshot
This will populate an array with the indicies of all your hash values. This should provide you with the reference point that you need to collect the appropriate data.
Sub FindHashmarksInColumnA()
Dim c As Range
Dim indices() As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim iMax As Double
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveSheet
i = 0
iMax = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(ws.Range("A:A"), "#")
ReDim indices(1 To iMax)
For Each c In ws.UsedRange.Columns(1).Cells
If c.Value = "#" Then
i = i + 1
indices(i) = c.Row
End If
Next c
' For each index,
' Count rows in table,
' Copy data offset from reference of hashmark,
' Paste onto new sheet in appropriate location etc.
End Sub
Try this code. You might need to adjust the top 4 constants to your need:
Sub CopyToSheets()
Const cStrSourceSheet As String = "tabulky"
Const cStrStartAddress As String = "A2"
Const cStrSheetNamePrefix As String = "Result"
Const cStrDivider As String = "#"
Dim rngSource As Range
Dim lngMaxRow As Long, lngLastDividerRow As Long, lngRowCount As Long
Dim wsTarget As Worksheet
Dim lngCounter As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
'Delete old worksheets
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each wsTarget In Sheets
If InStr(wsTarget.Name, cStrSheetNamePrefix) Then wsTarget.Delete
Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
With Sheets(cStrSourceSheet)
Set rngSource = .Range(cStrStartAddress)
lngLastDividerRow = rngSource.Row
lngMaxRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
End With
Set rngSource = rngSource.Offset(1)
While rngSource.Row < lngMaxRow
If rngSource = cStrDivider Then
lngCounter = lngCounter + 1
Set wsTarget = Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count))
wsTarget.Name = cStrSheetNamePrefix & " " & lngCounter
lngRowCount = rngSource.Row - lngLastDividerRow - 1
rngSource.Offset(-lngRowCount - 1).Resize(lngRowCount).EntireRow.Copy _
wsTarget.Range("A1").Resize(lngRowCount).EntireRow
lngLastDividerRow = rngSource.Row
End If
Set rngSource = rngSource.Offset(1)
Wend
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End Sub

Finding first blank row, then writing to it

I need to find the first blank row in a workbook and write information to (row, 1) and (row, 2). I think I'm currently pretty stuck...
Function WriteToMaster(num, path) As Boolean
'Declare variables
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim infoLoc As Integer
Set xlApp = New Excel.Application
Set wb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("PATH OF THE DOC")
Set ws = wb.Worksheets("Sheet1")
'Loop through cells, looking for an empty one, and set that to the Num
Cells(1, 1).Select
For Each Cell In ws.UsedRange.Cells
If Cell.Value = "" Then Cell = Num
MsgBox "Checking cell " & Cell & " for value."
Next
'Save, close, and quit
wb.Save
wb.Close
xlApp.Quit
'Resets the variables
Set ws = Nothing
Set wb = Nothing
Set xlApp = Nothing
Thanks so much for any help.
If you mean the row number after the last row that is used, you can find it with this:
Dim unusedRow As Long
unusedRow = Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Offset(1, 0).Row
If you mean a row that happens to be blank with data after it... it gets more complicated.
Here's a function I wrote which will give you the actual row number of the first row that is blank for the provided worksheet.
Function firstBlankRow(ws As Worksheet) As Long
'returns the row # of the row after the last used row
'Or the first row with no data in it
Dim rw As Range
For Each rw In ws.UsedRange.Rows
If rw.Address = ws.Range(rw.Address).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks). _
Address Then
firstBlankRow = rw.Row
Exit For
End If
Next
If firstBlankRow = 0 Then
firstBlankRow = ws.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell). _
Offset(1, 0).Row
End If
End Function
Usage example: firstblankRow(thisworkbook.Sheets(1)) or pass any worksheet.
Edit: As ooo pointed out, this will error if there are no blank cells in your used range.
I would have done it like this. Short and sweet :)
Sub test()
Dim rngToSearch As Range
Dim FirstBlankCell As Range
Dim firstEmptyRow As Long
Set rngToSearch = Sheet1.Range("A:A")
'Check first cell isn't empty
If IsEmpty(rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1)) Then
firstEmptyRow = rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1).Row
Else
Set FirstBlankCell = rngToSearch.FindNext(After:=rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1))
If Not FirstBlankCell Is Nothing Then
firstEmptyRow = FirstBlankCell.Row
Else
'no empty cell in range searched
End If
End If
End Sub
Updated to check if first row is empty.
Edit: Update to include check if entire row is empty
Option Explicit
Sub test()
Dim rngToSearch As Range
Dim firstblankrownumber As Long
Set rngToSearch = Sheet1.Range("A1:C200")
firstblankrownumber = FirstBlankRow(rngToSearch)
Debug.Print firstblankrownumber
End Sub
Function FirstBlankRow(ByVal rngToSearch As Range, Optional activeCell As Range) As Long
Dim FirstBlankCell As Range
If activeCell Is Nothing Then Set activeCell = rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1)
'Check first cell isn't empty
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1).EntireRow) = 0 Then
FirstBlankRow = rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1).Row
Else
Set FirstBlankCell = rngToSearch.FindNext(After:=activeCell)
If Not FirstBlankCell Is Nothing Then
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(FirstBlankCell.EntireRow) = 0 Then
FirstBlankRow = FirstBlankCell.Row
Else
Set activeCell = FirstBlankCell
FirstBlankRow = FirstBlankRow(rngToSearch, activeCell)
End If
Else
'no empty cell in range searched
End If
End If
End Function
Update
Inspired by Daniel's code above and the fact that this is WAY! more interesting to me now then the actual work I have to do, i created a hopefully full-proof function to find the first blank row in a sheet. Improvements welcome! Otherwise, this is going to my library :)
Hopefully others benefit as well.
Function firstBlankRow(ws As Worksheet) As Long
'returns the row # of the row after the last used row
'Or the first row with no data in it
Dim rngSearch As Range, cel As Range
With ws
Set rngSearch = .UsedRange.Columns(1).Find("") '-> does blank exist in the first column of usedRange
If Not rngSearch Is Nothing Then
Set rngSearch = .UsedRange.Columns(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
For Each cel In rngSearch
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(cel.EntireRow) = 0 Then
firstBlankRow = cel.Row
Exit For
End If
Next
Else '-> no blanks in first column of used range
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).EntireRow) = 0 Then '-> is the last row of the sheet blank?
'-> yeap!, then no blank rows!
MsgBox "Whoa! All rows in sheet are used. No blank rows exist!"
Else
'-> okay, blank row exists
firstBlankRow = .UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Row + 1
End If
End If
End With
End Function
Original Answer
To find the first blank in a sheet, replace this part of your code:
Cells(1, 1).Select
For Each Cell In ws.UsedRange.Cells
If Cell.Value = "" Then Cell = Num
MsgBox "Checking cell " & Cell & " for value."
Next
With this code:
With ws
Dim rngBlanks As Range, cel As Range
Set rngBlanks = Intersect(.UsedRange, .Columns(1)).Find("")
If Not rngBlanks Is Nothing Then '-> make sure blank cell exists in first column of usedrange
'-> find all blank rows in column A within the used range
Set rngBlanks = Intersect(.UsedRange, .Columns(1)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
For Each cel In rngBlanks '-> loop through blanks in column A
'-> do a countA on the entire row, if it's 0, there is nothing in the row
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(cel.EntireRow) = 0 Then
num = cel.Row
Exit For
End If
Next
Else
num = usedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Offset(1).Row
End If
End With
I know this is an older thread however I needed to write a function that returned the first blank row WITHIN a range. All of the code I found online actually searches the entire row (even the cells outside of the range) for a blank row. Data in ranges outside the search range was triggering a used row. This seemed to me to be a simple solution:
Function FirstBlankRow(ByVal rngToSearch As Range) As Long
Dim R As Range
Dim C As Range
Dim RowIsBlank As Boolean
For Each R In rngToSearch.Rows
RowIsBlank = True
For Each C In R.Cells
If IsEmpty(C.Value) = False Then RowIsBlank = False
Next C
If RowIsBlank Then
FirstBlankRow = R.Row
Exit For
End If
Next R
End Function
ActiveSheet.Range("A10000").End(xlup).offset(1,0).Select
very old thread but .. i was lookin for an "easier"... a smaller code
i honestly dont understand any of the answers above :D
- i´m a noob
but this should do the job. (for smaller sheets)
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcel.Workbooks.Add
reads every cell in col 1 from bottom up and stops at first empty cell
intRow = 1
Do until objExcel.Cells(intRow, 1).Value = ""
intRow = intRow + 1
Loop
then you can write your info like this
objExcel.Cells(intRow, 1).Value = "first emtpy row, col 1"
objExcel.Cells(intRow, 2).Value = "first emtpy row, col 2"
etc...
and then i recognize its an vba thread ... lol
Very old thread but a simpler take :)
