Deleting empty Series out of Graph (with VBA) - vba

I am trying to remove all empty series out of an Excel graph.
Dim isEmptySeries As Boolean
For Series = 1 To .SeriesCollection.count
.SeriesCollection(Series).ApplyDataLabels Type:=xlDataLabelsShowValue, AutoText:=True, LegendKey:=False
isEmptySeries = True
For i = 1 To .SeriesCollection(Series).points.count
If .SeriesCollection(Series).points(i).DataLabel.Text = 0 Then
.SeriesCollection(Series).points(i).HasDataLabel = False
Else
isEmptySeries = False
.SeriesCollection(Series).points(i).DataLabel.Font.Size = 17
End If
Next i
If isEmptySeries Then
.SeriesCollection(Series).Delete
End If
Next Datenreihe
The script fails at the ApplyDatalabels line ("Method SeriesCollection of Object Chart failed").
I believe that Excel shifts the Series indexes when one of the Series is deleted? Is that the case? It's the only explanation that I have for the error.
How else would I loop through the series and remove the ones that are empty?

In these sorts of situations try looping in reverse order
For i = .SeriesCollection(Series).points.count To 1 Step -1
That way the .Delete doesn't effect the item yet to be looped through

Can I use IsEmpty to refer to a different sheet and hide a column?

Is it possible to use IsEmpty to refer to a cell on a different sheet from where the macro is being fired from? Also, is it possible to hide the queried column if the result of that query is True?
Here's what I've built so far:
My first version looked like this:
If IsEmpty(L1) Then
Columns("L").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
Columns("L").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End If
Straightforward enough. But, that only works if it's fired from the worksheet where I want the query/hide to occur. When I launch the macro from the different sheet, it hides the column in that sheet (of course, duh).
So, after several iterations and errors, I got to this:
If IsEmpty(Sheets("Results").Cells(10, 1).Value) Then
Worksheets("Results").Columns(10).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
Worksheets("Results").Columns(10).EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End If
Which at least doesn't throw any errors from the VBA. It also does a grand total of squat. :$ I'm starting to wonder if it's even possible to use IsEmpty on a different sheet? Or the EntireColumn.Hidden command? Also, given that I need to run this check on 9 columns, maybe there's a better way than 9 If/Then statements?
To get away from a loop through 9 columns' row 1, use SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).
dim blnks as range
with workSheets("Results")
with .range(.cells(1, "B"), .cells(1, "K"))
.entirecolumn.hidden = false
set blnks = .specialcells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
if not blnks is nothing then blnks.entirecolumn.hidden = true
end with
end with
Essentially this unhides all 9 columns then hides the columns with blank cells in the first row. Note that a zero-length string (e.g. "") returned by a formula is not the same thing as a truly blank cell.
I think you're very close, just you have the cells inputs the wrong way around:
If IsEmpty(Sheets("Results").Cells(1, 10).Value) Then
Worksheets("Results").Columns(10).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
Worksheets("Results").Columns(10).EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End If
Additionally as mentioned in the comments you can create a loop to check many columns:
Dim i As Integer
Dim maxi As Integer
i = 1
maxi = 20
While i < maxi
If IsEmpty(ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Results").Cells(1, i)) Then
Worksheets("Results").Columns(i).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
Worksheets("Results").Columns(i).EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End If
i = i + 1
Wend

Referencing value from Excel Listbox item in .Match function in VBA

I am hoping to use the string value of a selected Listbox item in a .Match function within VBA - I need the the value '1' to be entered into the row where the value of the selection matches a value in column "A:A", on a specific column.
What I thought I would be able to do is to use a .value argument for the selected ListBox item, however this seems to either error out or give me a Boolean response, which isn't what I am after (I am after the actual string value of the item).
I have already looped through all items to set the Selected argument to True, and then I am looping through the list one by one to add '1' to the correct range.
Here is the code I thought would work (but doesn't, it throws an error of "Run-time error '13': Type mismatch" which is presumably down to the .Value not being a String.
For x = 0 To Me.CreditsEmployeesListBox.ListCount - 1
Me.CreditsEmployeesListBox.Selected(x) = True
Next
For i = 0 To Me.CreditsEmployeesListBox.ListCount - 1
If Me.CreditsEmployeesListBox.Selected(i) = True Then
employeeRow = WorksheetFunction.Match(Me.CreditsEmployeesListBox(i).Value, IndexSheet.Range("A:A"), 0)
IndexSheet.Range(Cells(employeeRow, showCodeColumn).Address).Value = 1
End If
Next
It errors out on the 'employeeRow = ...' line. Here, I am essentially trying to ask it:
employeeRow = WorksheetFunction.Match(<value of the currently referenced ListBox item>,IndexSheet.Range("A:A"),0)
Is this possible with VBA or am I going about this the wrong way?
Thanks
Matt
As an "hybrid" answer (as there is more than one problem) try this:
For x = 0 To Me.CreditsEmployeesListBox.ListCount - 1
Me.CreditsEmployeesListBox.Selected(x) = True
Next
Dim employeeRow As Variant
For i = 0 To Me.CreditsEmployeesListBox.ListCount - 1
If Me.CreditsEmployeesListBox.Selected(i) = True Then
employeeRow = Application.Match(Me.CreditsEmployeesListBox.List(i), IndexSheet.Columns(1), 0)
If IsNumeric(employeeRow) Then IndexSheet.Cells(employeeRow, showCodeColumn).Value = 1
End If
Next
This also should avoid VBA-errors.
If any questions are left, just ask :)

Excel VBA - Nested loop to format excel table columns

I have a macro that so far, adds 4 new table columns to an existing table ("Table1"). Now, I would like the macro to format the 3rd and 4th row as percentage. I would like to include this in the loop already listed in my code. I have tried several different ways to do this. I don't think I quite understand how the UBound function works, but hopefully you can understand what I am trying to do.
I also am unsure if I am allowed to continue to utilize the WITH statement in my nested For loop in regards to me 'lst' variable.
#Jeeped - I'm looking at you for this one again...thanks for basically walking me through this whole project lol
Sub attStatPivInsertTableColumns_2()
Dim lst As ListObject
Dim currentSht As Worksheet
Dim colNames As Variant, r1c1s As Variant
Dim h As Integer, i As Integer
Set currentSht = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Set lst = ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1")
colNames = Array("AHT", "Target AHT", "Transfers", "Target Transfers")
r1c1s = Array("=([#[Inbound Talk Time (Seconds)]]+[#[Inbound Hold Time (Seconds)]]+[#[Inbound Wrap Time (Seconds)]])/[#[Calls Handled]]", "=350", "=[#[Call Transfers and/or Conferences]]/[#[Calls Handled]]", "=0.15")
With lst
For h = LBound(colNames) To UBound(r1c1s)
.ListColumns.Add
.ListColumns(.ListColumns.Count).Name = colNames(h)
.ListColumns(.ListColumns.Count).DataBodyRange.FormulaR1C1 = r1c1s(h)
If UBound(colNames(h)) = 2 or UBound(colNames(h)) = 3 Then
For i = UBound(colNames(h), 2) To UBound(colNames(h), 3)
.ListColumns(.ListColumns.Count).NumberFormat = "0%"
End if
Next i
Next h
End With
End Sub
You don't need to nest a second for loop. If you want to set the 3rd and 4th columns to a percentage, you only need to set that when the iteration of the loop (h) is 2 or 3 (remembering that arrays index from 0). You also shouldn't cross arrays for the main loop, and since LBound is in most cases 0 you might as well just use that anyway. Try this:
With lst
For h = 0 To UBound(r1c1s)
.ListColumns.Add
.ListColumns(.ListColumns.Count).Name = colNames(h)
.ListColumns(.ListColumns.Count).DataBodyRange.FormulaR1C1 = r1c1s(h)
If h = 2 or h = 3 Then
.ListColumns(.ListColumns.Count).NumberFormat = "0%"
End if
Next h
End With
To answer the other point in your question, UBound(array) just gives the index of the largest element (the Upper BOUNDary) in the given array. So where you have 50 elements in such an array, UBound(array) will return 49 (zero based as mentioned before). LBound just gives the other end of the array (the Lower BOUNDary), which is generally zero.

Clearing Contents of Row with For Loop

I have code that is designed to loop through each cell in a row and delete them EXCEPT for the A and O columns. When I run this code it only deletes the second column.
I am aware of the "Rows(Target.Row).ClearContents" line but this does not suit my purposes as I need specific columns to stay intact.
Dim i As Integer
For i = 2 To i = 30
If i = 15 Then
'update i but do nothing
i = i + 1
Else
'update i and clear contents of cell
.Cells(Target.Row, i).Clear
i = i + 1
End If
Next
The For loop increments the i so you shouldn't, and this syntax is incorrect For i = 2 To i = 30:
Dim i As Long
For i = 2 To 30
If i <> 15 Then .Cells(Target.Row, i).Clear
Next
A faster way to exclude certain columns from the row (without using a loop):
With Target.Parent
.Columns(15).Hidden = True
.UsedRange.Rows(Target.Row).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Clear
.Columns(15).Hidden = False
End With
Why use loops at all?
Union(Range(.Cells(Target.Row,2),.Cells(Target.Row,14)), Range(.Cells(Target.Row,16),.Cells(Target.Row,30))).Clear

Excel VBA - count number of different parameters in table

I have some problems with my excel VBA code, it does not work and yes, I do not know why...
I want to add each Record number once in a collection. My code looks like this:
For i = 1 To lo.ListRows.Count
Count = 1
Do While recordList.Count >= Count
recordFound = False
If lo.ListColumns("Record").DataBodyRange.Rows(i) = recordList(Count) Then
recordFound = True
End If
If recordFound = False Then
recordList.Add (lo.ListColumns("Record").DataBodyRange.Rows(i))
End If
Count = Count + 1
Loop
Next
What it does now, it returns empty collection...
Whould be great if you could help me guys!
There is no real need to test the Collection to see if the item exists if you give it a key.
You can code something like:
On Error Resume Next
For I = 1 To lo.ListRows.Count
With lo.ListColumns("Record").DataBodyRange.Rows(I)
RecordList.Add Item:=.Value, Key:=CStr(.Value)
End With
Next I
On Error GoTo 0
Adding an item with the same key will cause the operation to be rejected. If you are concerned about other errors than the duplicate key error, you can always check the error number in the inline code and branch depending on the results.
I haven't been able to test this with the reference to lo but it works with a reference to a range
Dim objDictionary As Object
Dim dictionaryKey As Variant
Dim i As Long
Set objDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
For i = 1 To lo.ListRows
objDictionary.Item(CStr(lo.ListColumns("Record").DataBodyRange.Rows(i))) = objDictionary.Item(CStr(lo.ListColumns("Record").DataBodyRange.Rows(i))) + 1
Next i
For Each dictionaryKey In objDictionary.keys
' Do something
Next dictionaryKey
I have used a dictionary object instead of a normal collection object as it should do what you are trying to do. Because the item is incremented each time, you can also return the count of each item by using
objDictionary.item(dictionaryKey)
