I am trying to paste a formula next to range of cells, but only the one's that contains a value, the script must loop until the next cell in the range is empty. For instance Sheet 1 Column A contains date until row 12, then I would like to paste a formula in column D2:D12 Regards
Like this?
Option Explicit
Sub Sample()
Dim lastRow As Long, i As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1")
lastRow = ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
With ws
For i = 1 To lastRow
If Len(Trim(.Range("A" & i).Value)) <> 0 Then _
.Range("D" & i).Formula = "YOUR FORMULA"
Next i
End With
End Sub
As you are looking down to the first blank cell then you can avoid a loop and use
The code includes a test to make sure that the code doesn't proceed if all of column A is blank - ie if the range from A1 down extends to the bottom of the sheet and A1 is blank
This code adds a sample formula linking each cell in column D to the respective row in column B
Sub FillData()
Dim rng1 As Range
Set rng1 = Range([a1], [a1].End(xlDown))
If Not (rng1.Rows.Count = Rows.Count And Len([a1].Value) = 0) Then rng1.Offset(0, 3).FormulaR1C1 = "=RC2"
End Sub
I like Sid's beginning, but once you have the range of rows, you can insert the formula into column D all at once, without looping, several ways, here's one:
Option Explicit
Sub AddFormula()
Dim LR As Long
LR = Range("A" & Row.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("D2:D12").Formula = "=A2 + 7" 'just an example of a formula
End Sub
Try this:
Range("A:A").SpecialCells(2).Areas(1).Offset(, 3).Formula = "MyFormula"
This is a simple solution that is built into Excel, as long as you don't want to copy to the first blank, jump over the blank, then continue copying:
Enter the formula in the first cell of your range, and as long as it is in the column directly to the right or left of your range of filled cells, simply double-click the black box handler in the bottom right-hand corner of the cell. That will automatically copy your formula down to the last non-empty cell of the range.

top part of the worksheet
very new to VBA and I'm trying to develop a macro to do some formatting. I have a variable amount of data (row wise, columns are the same) in my worksheet. After the last row of data, there are a bunch of blank white rows, and at the very bottom is a grey-shaded row. I want to hide all of the blank white rows in the middle, so that the grey-shaded row is then right under my last row with data in it.
Here is the code I have so far (note: Column I is the last column). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Right now, I am getting a "type mismatch" error for the "BeforeFinalRow = finalRow - 1" part, but I'm sure there's a lot more that's wrong with this code. Thanks in advance!
Sub hide_rows()
Dim BelowUsedData As Long
BelowUsedData = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row + 1
Dim RowBelowUsedData As Range
RowBelowUsedData = Range("A" & BelowUsedData, "I" & BelowUsedData)
Range("A1").Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Dim finalRow As Range
finalRow = Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight))
Dim BeforeFinalRow As Long
BeforeFinalRow = finalRow - 1
Rng = Range(Cells(RowBelowUsedData, "A"), Cells(BeforeFinalRow, "I")).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End Sub
You could simplify this and hard code your bottom border cell into the code (Just change the value of BottomBorder in code)
Option Explicit
Sub Test()
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Dim LRow As Long, BottomBorder As Long
LRow = ws.Range("B" & ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row
BottomBorder = 1006 'Change this if your bottom border changes
ws.Range(ws.Cells(LRow, 1), ws.Cells(BottomBorder, 1)).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End Sub
Another option is to use a WorkSheet_Change Event. This will only work if you are inputting data in one entry (row) at a time.
To implement: Hide all unused rows with the exception of 1! So if your last used cell is B4, hide B6 down to BottomBorder which will leave B5 as a white blank row where your next entry will go. Then paste the below code in the worksheet in VBE. Every time an entry is made in your blank row (B5) here, the macro will insert a new row keeping your current format.
This is dynamic so it will also look at the next blank row (After B5, B6 will be your new target row)
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim LRow As Long
LRow = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Row = LRow - 1 And Target.Column = 2 Then
Range("A" & LRow + 1).EntireRow.Insert (xlShiftUp)
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
On the photo it looks like the rows are not hidden but grey. The below code will find where the color changes and hide those white rows between the last row with data and the first grey cell:
Sub hide_rows()
Dim rngData As Range
Dim rngFirstCelltoHide As Range
Dim rngLastWhite As Range
Set rngData = Range("B1").CurrentRegion
Set rngFirstCelltoHide = rngData.Cells(rngData.Rows.Count, 1).Offset(1, 0)
Set rngLastWhite = rngFirstCelltoHide
Do Until rngLastWhite.Interior.Color <> rngLastWhite.Offset(1, 0).Interior.Color
Set rngLastWhite = rngLastWhite.Offset(1, 0)
Loop
Range(rngFirstCelltoHide, rngLastWhite).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End Sub
finalRow is a range object. That is why you get 'type error' when you subtract 1 from it. Declare the variable as long and assign row number to it as follows:
finalRow = Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Row
Rng1.Copy Destination:=Worksheets("RefindData").Range(Destination)
Where Rng1 is the range of data to be copied and Destination is currently a cell reference (E.g B2)
This code will be called multiple times. How can I alter this so that the destination is the same column (E.g column B) but the row is the next empty cell?
E.g so on the first call, B2 onwards is where the values are copied to, then on the next call the next empty cell after the first call is where the second call should start outputting its values. Then the next empty cell for the start of the third call, and so on.
I can alter the Destination variable to just state column letter if something like this:
Rng1.Copy Destination:=Worksheets("RefindData").Range(Destination & ???)
Is along the right lines?
Sub CopyPasteCells()
Dim Rng1 As Range, Rng2 As Range, ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("RefindData")
Set Rng1 = ws.Range("C2:C10") 'Copy range as you like
Set Rng2 = ws.Range("B" & ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) 'Paste range starting from B2 and then first empty cell
Rng1.Copy Destination:=Rng2 'Copy/Paste
End Sub
You can also try something like code below.
Assumptions:
Active cell is in the column, where you want to paste the results (you want to paste results in column B -> select cell from B column [for example B2],
The first row is filled with headers, so the results gonna be pasted from second row
Code
Sub CutCopyPaste()
Dim lngCol As Long
Dim rngCopy As Range
Set rngCopy = Range("A1") 'The cell which ic copied
lngCol = Selection.Column 'active column where the results will be pasted
On Error Resume Next
rngCopy.Copy Cells(Cells(1, lngCol).End(xlDown).Row + 1, lngCol)
If Err.Number = 1004 Then
MsgBox "Be sure that active cell is in the column, where the results should be pasted!" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Try again"
Err.Clear
End If
End Sub
You mean like this?
Sub Sample()
Dim rng1 As Range
Dim wsO As Worksheet
Set wsO = Worksheets("RefindData")
Set rng1 = Range("A1:A10")
rng1.Copy Destination:=wsO.Range("B" & _
wsO.Range("B" & wsO.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1)
End Sub
Every time you run the macro it will paste in the next available row after the last row.
This sounds like a very basic question (and it is), but I cannot figure it out and I cannot find a suitable solution on the web.
How do you select the last cell in a column that contains a numeric value and delete it?
I have formulas that go past this cell and return blank values in the column. This is what is tripping me up at the moment. My current code will go all the way down to where I have carried the formulas to and start deleting those cells instead of deleting the last cell with a numeric value.
My current code looks like this
Range("AA1500").End(xlUp).Select
With Selection.Delete
End With
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please let me know if I can clarify anything.
Thanks
If you want to go down past cells with arbitrary strings in them and
delete the last numeric value (but not the last cell with a alphanumeric string in it), this should work:
Sub deleteLastNum()
Dim row As Integer
row = Range("A1000").End(xlUp).row
For i = row To 1 Step -1:
If IsNumeric(Cells(i, "A")) Then
Cells(i, "A").Clear
Range("A" & CStr(i + 1), "A" & CStr(row)).Cut Destination:=Range("A" & CStr(i))
Exit For
End If
Next
End Sub
It will also delete the last cell with a formula that evaluates to a number. It moves down the range of cells in the column above it with characters in it to fill in the cleared cell.
What you can do is get the total number of rows of a column (A) then check is last cell value is numeric or not, if numeric then clear that cell.
Sub del()
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim rn As Range
Set sh = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Dim k As Long
Set rn = sh.UsedRange
k = rn.Rows.Count + rn.Row - 1
If IsNumeric(Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & k).Value) = True Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & k).ClearContents
End If
End Sub
This will check last cell for numeric value in column A.
Hope this is what you are asking.
EDIT
Implementing above for all the sheets in a workbook using a loop is like :
Sub del()
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim rn As Range
For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Set sh = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(sh.Name)
Dim k As Long
Set rn = sh.UsedRange
k = rn.Rows.Count + rn.Row - 1
If IsNumeric(sh.Range("A" & k).Value) = True Then
sh.Range("A" & k).ClearContents
End If
Next sh
End Sub
This will loop through each sheet like Sheet1, Sheet2 or whatever the name of the sheet may be and check for numeric value in last cell of col A, if found numeric then it will delete the value.
You already got an answer to your post, just to be clear, the safest way to find the last row (let's say in Column "AA", according to your post), and ignoring blank cells in the middle, is by using the syntax below:
Sub FindlastRow()
Dim LastRow As Long
With Worksheets("Sheet1") ' <-- change "Sheet1" to your sheet's name
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "AA").End(xlUp).Row
' rest of your coding here
End With
End Sub
Screen-shot of the result:
Use 'SpecialCells()'
Sub ClearLastNumber(sh As WorkSheet, columnIndex As String)
On Error GoTo ExitSub 'should 'columnIndex' column of 'sh' worksheet contain no numbers then the subsequent statement would throw an error
With sh.Columns(columnIndex).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlNumbers)
With .Areas(.Areas.Count)
.Cells(.Count).ClearContents
End With
End With
ExitSub:
End Sub
To be used in your "main" sub as follows
Sub Main()
Dim sh As Worksheet
For Each sh In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ClearLastNumber Sh "A"
Next
End Sub
the thing is I want to copy a certain column but I want to only copy data on a specific cell and get the data below it.
Let say for example, I want to copy Cell C5 and below, this will disregard C1 to C4. Is this possible?
Further to my comments below your question, here is one way. This will work in all scenarios. Whether you have blank cells or not...
Option Explicit
Sub CopyCells()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Dim sRow As Long, lRow As Long
'~~> Change this to the relevant worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
sRow = 5 '<~~ Starting row
With ws
'~~> Find last row in Col C
lRow = .Range("C" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'~~> If the last row < Start Row
If lRow < sRow Then
MsgBox "Start Row cannot be greater then last row"
Else
'~~> Create your range
Set rng = .Range("C" & sRow & ":C" & lRow)
'~~> Copy
rng.Copy
'
' Do what you want with copied data
'
End If
End With
End Sub
Sheet1.Columns(3).Resize(Sheet1.Columns(3).Rows.Count - 4).Offset(4).Select
This will select entire C column but first 4 cells. It simply take column 3, resize it to subtract first 4 cells and offset the starting cell 4 cell below and select that range.
If your range is defined then code could be more optimized.
EDIT for sample code:
Sub copyCells()
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim rngStart As Range
Dim rng As Range
Set sht = Sheet1
Set rngStart = sht.Cells(5, 3) ' this is C5
rngStart.Select
Set rng = rngStart.Resize(rngStart.End(xlDown).Row - rngStart.Row + 1)
rng.Copy Sheet2.Cells(1, 1) ' copy where you need
End Sub
This will copy a entire column (with data) from selection, just paste it wherever you want.
Sub CopyColumnFromSelected()
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
End Sub
Or (Ctrl + Shift + down arrow) <--- from your desired cell and Ctrl+C ;)
I'm trying to use FillDown to make all formulas be pulled down to a certain row skipping over cells that have a value in them...
If we look at the example:
In both column C and E there are formulas and in C6 we've overridden the cell with the value of 15.
If we were in row 5 and I wanted the code to drag the formula down 5 lines it would need to take the formula in C5 and because C6 has a value it would skip this one and instead place it into C7 and drag it down.
Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Loop through the column and if the cell is empty then copy the formula from the first cell?
Like this?
Sub Sample()
Dim rng As Range
Dim lRow As Long, i As Long
'~~> Change this to the relevant sheet name
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
lRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'~~> C2 Which I am assuming will have a formula
Set rng = .Cells(2, 3)
For i = 3 To lRow
If .Cells(i, 3).Value = "" Then rng.Copy .Cells(i, 3)
Next i
End With
End Sub
Note: For your case, please amend it as needed.
EDIT
I would highly recommend #Captains Non VBA way as shown above. Here is the code, just in case someone is looking for a VBA option.
Sub Sample()
Dim rng As Range, blnkRng As Range
Dim lRow As Long, i As Long
'~~> Change this to the relevant sheet name
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
lRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'~~> C2 Which I am assuming will have a formula
Set rng = .Cells(2, 3)
On Error Resume Next
Set blnkRng = .Range("C3:C" & lRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not blnkRng Is Nothing Then rng.Copy blnkRng
End With
End Sub
If you don't want to go the VBA route, you can do it with built-in features:
Copy the cell with the formula
Highlight the target range including populated cells (e.g. whole column)
On the Home Ribbon, under Editing, Find & Select open up "Go To Special"
Choose "Blanks" in the popup and click OK
The selection will be updated to only the blank cells so then you can paste
There are a few other useful things in that "Go To Special" box too!
To do it with code (assuming you want to copy down to say row 10):
Range("C3:C10").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas).FormulaR1C1 = Range("C2").FormulaR1C1
