I have an Excel sheet that I created. For this sheet it pulls in a data feed on two of the sheets. The data feed has a parameter which I populate from a Drop Down that is fed off of another sheet. I'm trying to automate this process. I want to be able to have the file run through each one of the ID's (the parameter), run the data feed, save the excel sheet, run the next ID save and so on until it goes through the list. Can someone please please help me with this? I'm new to VBA.
1) you need a list of your IDs. I like Named Ranges, so mine is named ID_List
2) Loop thru your list
dim r as range
for each r in [ID_List]
'do yer stuff here
'what needs to be done with the value **r.value**???
'how do you want to save the file each time???
next
Need some specific answers!

I have multiple sheets which I am looking to copy and paste the relevant cells from rows into a new worksheet. The defining factor is whether the rows are "Live" which is determined by whether today falls between the "start date" and "end date" columns. For all rows that are "live" certain cells on that row should then be copy pasted to the bottom of the list on the new worksheet. I would then repeat these steps for the other worksheets so that the new worksheet essentially contains a summary of all "live" lines from the other sheets.
I then ultimately need to create a button so I can re-run this at the end of each day.
Hoping you can help!
You've defined and explained what you want to do nicely. So the next step would be to start researching the actions you want the code to do:
Start with how to copy rows:
http://www.bluepecantraining.com/copying-moving-rows-columns-excel-vba/
Next is how to find the last used row in a worksheet:
https://powerspreadsheets.com/excel-vba-last-row/
Next is to apply your condition on what rows to copy:
Using VBA to check if a date is between two dates
Next is how to create a for loop that runs the code the desired number of times:
https://www.excel-easy.com/vba/loop.html (a tip is to use the LastRow that you defined via the second link i posted. eg: "For x = 1 To LastRow")
And lastly is how to assign a macro to a button or shape:

Try to build a code with the help of these links. If you get stuck, come back and show us what you've created and where the problem is. I (aswell as and many others) would love to help you on from there.
I am new to VBA and need some help - if anyone could help me.
I need to copy a range, say A1:F1, and paste it in the row directly under, so A2:F2, on an automatic loop.
The top-most row contains data from a different sheet, therefore I will be copying the formulas of that row which links to the secondary sheet. I would like the loop to end once the other sheet has been exhausted and the macro hits an empty row from the sheet.
Any ideas?
You can use a do until loop to find the length of your list. Then u can use this index to use range, push down the data and push your new data on the now empty top row.
I understand, that u want to push data always in the first row and everything else down, so you add always one new row.
I have a huge text file with lots of numbers divided into different sections and I want to extract only certain values. It is something like this
step 1
787268 4.29430E-01
787269 4.05248E-01
787270 3.99742E-01
787271 3.99136E-01
787272 3.98422E-01
787273 3.97019E-01
787274 3.95237E-01
step 2
787268 4.29430E-01
787269 4.05248E-01
787270 3.99742E-01
787271 3.99136E-01
787272 3.98422E-01
787273 3.97019E-01
787274 3.95237E-01
I want to copy into my excel file only the two columns in the step 2 section.
So I need a VBA code that allows me to search for a particular string and after it finds it copy and paste all the raws until the next step.
Any pieces of code?
Thanks
Stefano
You can use this website to help you find what you need, a simple Google search can go a long way.
I would suggest using an if found section to find the spot where you need to copy over.
Ex.
If (Range("A1").Value = "YOUR TEXT HERE") Then
'''' COPY OVER DATA
End If
I really could use some help
I have two .txt/csv files that I need to read from into my excel file.
In my excel file I have a whole column, each cell containing string of characters and I need to write a script to be able find matches and and copy an adjacent column from that txt file.
An example of a single row on my txt file is shown below:
"AB101AA","AB10 1AA","AB101A","AB10 1A","AB101","AB10 1","AB10","AB10","AB","10",394251,806376,,
"AB101AF","AB10 1AF","ABERDEEN","ABERDEENSHIRE",,"ABERDEEN, CITY OF"
My excel file would have a cell which probably say "AB101AF" and i want the corresponding cell to run through a million rows and find the match and then find the corresponding nth cell on the txt file and return it on the excel spreadsheet example "ABERDEEN, CITY OF".
I know I havent been helpful in explaining the issue. But any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Depending upon the size of your text file you could import the file using the GetExternalData option in Excel. This would allow you to load your data into a different Sheet and then use a lookup to your data from the main Sheet. Using Match and/or vlookup should help here.
You could also add a workbook connection to the text file and search using the connection.
I am new to Excel VBA and need some help writing a macro.
From Worksheet1 of Workbook1 I need to copy each column of range D1:Z100, one at a time, and pasteValue it to cells B1:B100.
This triggers a calculation in Worksheet2 of Workbook1. Here I need to copy cells A1:B200 into a new workbook.
This new workbook is to be renamed with the text string in Worksheet1, cell B1. The new workbook is to be saved into the same folder as Workbook1.
The loop is then to continue with the next column from Worksheet1, and continue until all columns in the range have been treated this way.
I have used two days searching the net to find an answer without any luck....
Start the way most of us did:
Record new macro.
Manually perform all the steps you want to automate.
Stop recording.
Go to the Developer tab and inspect the auto-generated code.
Write your own VBA based on what you learn in Step 4.
You will have to figure out a few things on your own, or come back here and ask specific questions.
