VBA for loop addition - vba

I am trying to write a loop that adds odd numbers up to a certain point. How can I get the integer i to go up by 2. I know there is a way, it's something like i by 2, but I don't remember the exact command. If anyone could please help me, I would appreciate it

Do you mean:
For i = 1 To 9 Step 2
Next i
Or:
For i = 1 To 10
If i Mod 2 = 1 Then
'// Odd
End If
Next i

How do I create a For-Next loop determining whether the numbers listed are even or odd
You can try something like this:
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 6
If i mod 2 = 0 Then
'i is even
Else
'i is odd
End If
Next i

EXCEL VBA keep changing variables and creating ppt apresentation by interval

Browsing I didnt find nothing especific as I need indeed.
The code I'm looking for, uses "AG6" and "AK6".
AG6 is my client (44 clients) and ak6 my product (4 products).
as a loop, for AG6 = 1 and ak6 = 1 it'll create a power point presentation pasting a certain range [A1:T35], and so on. AG6 still 1 while ak6 <= 4, and everytime ak6 changes it'll create the presentation. when ak6 reaches 4, ag6 goes to 2 and when ak6 reaches 4, ag6 +1 again until 44.
I tried to be more clear I could. I've already done the ppt code but i'm stuck on that loop.
Thank you in advance !!
see ya
Is this what you are looking for? I'm not sure from your title whether your problem is with the looping code or with invoking PowerPoint - what does "use replace code" mean? Anyway, here's a simple nested loop - the "Debug" line is just to show that the loop actually works.
Sub testloop()
Dim client As Integer
Dim product As Integer
With ActiveSheet
For client = 1 To 44
.Range("AG6") = client
For product = 1 To 4
.Range("AK6") = product
'Do Something Here
Debug.Print .Range("AG6") & " - " & .Range("AK6")
Next product
Next client
End With
End Sub
It was my mistake when I was writing another question, forget it !
Exemple:
1
. client as 1 and prod as 1
client as 1 and prod as 2
client as 1 and prod as 3
client as 1 and prod as 4
when prod reaches 4, client goes to 2 and do the same thing.
between every time prod variable changes, i'll create the ppt apresentation.

Excel VBA For loop in range contains gaps of 0's in sequence

I have isolated the problem and simplified the code to the root cause. More frustrating is that this loop works elsewhere without this error.
If you see the comments in the sequence here, there are 6 cells in the middle of the loop that turn into 0, and then after this 6 cell gap of 0's the loop works. I did use a msgbox to confirm the values were there. For whatever reason rows 130-135 always read as 0 though.
For x = 1 To 140
Cells(3 + x, "AW").Value = 70
'MsgBox (Cells(3 + x, "AW").Value)
'MsgBox confirms the correct value
'rows 130-135 are always empty with 0
Next
Any help greatly appreciated - very stumped at such a simple thing!
it was a simple logical error that was nested inside:
For a = 1 To Number_of_CalcRows
Cells(137 + a, "AW").Value = TenkanCurrent
Next
The problem was that I has not declared the TenkanCurrent with a value.

What does the To and Step mean in VBA?

Dim i As Long
Dim rows As Long
Dim rng3 As Range
rows = rng3.rows.Count
For i = rows To 1 Step (-1)
Does anyone know how this loop works? I'm confused on the meaning of rows To 1 Step (-1).
from high number To 1 adding (-1) each iteration
Note: It's adding because + AND - in mathematical logic evaluate to a -
If rows = 10 then
for i = 10 to 1 step -2 would mean loop back from 10 to 1 subtracting 2 from the i in each loop cycle.
adding a Debug.Print i inside the loop may give you a better clue.
Note: turn ON the Immediate Window hitting CTRL+G or View => Immediate Window from the VBE menu bar
An example loop increasing by 3 on each cycle.
for i = 1 to 10 step 3
debug.print i
next i
Usage
The step-back technique is mostly used when deleting rows from a spreadsheet.
To see the logic in practice see the following
How to select and delete every 3rd column
Delete entire excel column if all cells are zeroed
Excel VBA - Scan range and delete empty rows
When deleting rows, it is often common practise to start at the end and step backwards, this is so no rows are skipped.
Dim i As Long
Dim rows As Long
Dim rng3 As Range
rows = rng3.rows.Count
For i = rows To 1 Step (-1)
'delete row if "delete" is in column 1
If rng3.cells(i,1).Value = "delete" Then
rng3.Rows(i).EntireRow.Delete
End If
next i
Dim i as Integer
For i = 1 To 14 Step 3
Debug.Print i
Next i
In above code loop will iterate from 1 to 14 increment with 3 so output will be like
1 4 7 10 13
It means it can not cross 14 that is limit.
So whatever value is provided in step it will add into the variable use for looping purpose. Here
i = i +3
But in For loop in VBA, Step value can not be changed dynamically. For example:
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 10 Step i
Debug.Print i
Next i
Here, before starting iteration Step is equal to the value of i that is the default value i.e. 0. So i will increment like below:
i = i+ i => i = i+0
So i will not increment here and loop will iterate for ever.
Now for below code:
Dim i as Integer
For i = 1 To 14 Step i+1
Debug.Print i
Next i
i will increment like :
i=i+(i+1) => i= i+(0+1) =>i = i+1
so it will increment by 1 and output will be 1 2 3 .... 14
Now for below code :
Dim i As Integer
i = 3
For i = 1 To 10 Step i
Debug.Print i
Next i
here, i is equal to 3 before loop execution, so Step value will be 3, but loop will start with i = 1 and will increment with 3 through out the loop.
here,
i = i+3
so output will be 1 4 7 10.
Now for some other variable:
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
j = 2
For i = 1 To 10 Step j
Debug.Print i
j = i
Next i
in above code Step value will be 2, so i will increment by 2 for every iteration whether j is modifying inside loop or not, it will not impact Step value, so output will be
1 3 5 7 9
Please correct me if I miss anything or something is wrong in this. Also suggest if there is any way for dynamic looping using For loop in VBA.

A program that will return the cell address of the minimum value in a row?

So I have a chart that looks something like this. Assume that the top left value, 1, is in cell A1:
x= 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
4 3 2 1 2 3 4 5
9 8 7 6 7 8 9 10
8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Sum= 21 18 15 12 13 14 15 16
There are x values from 1 to 8, and a three columns of values resulting from using it an equation or something below it. The sum is the sum of the three values below their corresponding x-value.
I'm stuck trying to figure something out that will go through the row of sums, find the smallest value, and then assign it's corresponding x-value to a variable. I also need to assign the values to the left and right of that x-value to other variables.
For this particular chart, 12 is the smallest of the sums, so I would assign variable1 = 4, since that is that column's corresponding x-value. Then my second variable, which is called lowerbound, would equal 3, since it is to the left of x = 4, and my third variable, which is called upperbound, would equal 5, since it is to the right of x = 4.
If I could get the cell address returned of the x-value that corresponds to the smallest sum, then I could assign it to a variable, and then simply offset from that cell to assign the other variables. Even if I could make a program that will return me the cell of the minimum sum value, I could offset to the x-row, and go from there.
How would I do something like that?
TL:DR: To ask more clearly, since that's a lot of words: What would a program look like that detects the smallest value in the sum row, and returns the cell address of that value?
The length of the rows are an unknown, and vary a lot, but the length of the columns are given. They do change depending on the problem, but they will always be known. So I will always know how many rows are in a column, but I will not know how many columns are in a row.
This is the most confusingly-worded thing I've ever written in my entire life, but I hope I've explained it well enough to make some sense.
You guys really are amazing, by the way. I've gotten so far on this program, and it's all because of how helpful you are. I honestly think I would still be stuck at the beginning with you guys! You're willing to tolerate a newbie's incessant questions.
I am assuming that the sum is in A4:H4. Please change as applicable
You can use a formula like
=CELL("address",INDEX(A4:H4,MATCH(MIN(A4:H4),A4:H4,0)))
If you want to use VBA then you can use this
Sub Sample()
MsgBox Application.Evaluate("=CELL(""address"",INDEX(A4:H4,MATCH(MIN(A4:H4),A4:H4,0)))")
End Sub
Using your example, the following formula returns the cell address in row 1 whose value in row 5 is the lowest:
=ADDRESS(1,MATCH(MIN(A5:H5),A5:H5,0))
And if you want that cell's value, use INDIRECT. It takes the address as a string.
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(1,MATCH(MIN(A5:H5),A5:H5,0)))
If you sum the columns by taking the sum of the array. Here is the VBA version:
For j = 1 To 8
For i = 1 To 3
sum(j) = sum(j) + Cells(i + 1, j + 1)
Next i
Cells(5, j + 1) = sum(j)
Next j
