Setting Range in For Loop - vba

I am trying to set the range in For loop. My code works fine when I do this:
For Each i in Range("A1":"A5")
'Some process code
Next i
But I do not get the same results when I do this:
For Each i in Range("A1").End(xlDown)
'Some Process
Next i
Arent the two codes equivalent? What changes should I make to the second one that it perfoms the same way as the first one but doesn't make me hardcode the Range in the code?

The second one you have only gets the last cell in the range, which I believe would me A5 from the first example. Instead, you need to do something like this.
I structured this like a small test so you can see the first option, the corrected second, and an example of how I would prefer to do this.
Option Explicit
Sub test()
Dim r As Range
Dim x As Range
' Make sure there is stuff in Range("A1:A5")
Range("A1") = 1
Range("A2") = 2
Range("A3") = 3
Range("A4") = 4
Range("A5") = 5
' Your first option
For Each x In Range("A1:A5")
Debug.Print x.Address & ", " & x
Next
' What you need to do to get the full range
For Each x In Range("A1", Range("A1").End(xlDown))
Debug.Print x.Address & ", " & x
Next
' My preferred method
Set r = Range("A1").End(xlDown)
For Each x In Range("A1", r)
Debug.Print x.Address & ", " & x
Next
End Sub

The cleanest way to do it would probobly be to store the lastRow number in a variable like so. You can do the concatenation in the for each line:
Dim cell as range
Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).row
For Each cell In Range("A1:A" & lastRow)
Please note that it makes a difference between using xlUp and xlDown.
xlUp gives you last cell used in column A (so you start at rows.count)
XlDown gives you last non-blank cell (you can use range("A1").End(xlDown).Row)
You'll notice a lot of people use "A65536" instead of rows.count, but 65536 is not the limit for some versions of Excel, so it's always better to use rows.count.

Copy row where cell matches worksheet name throws Subscript out of range (Error 9)

I was searching around this forum for quite a long time and learned quite a bit. However, I have a problem now which is easy to fix, I guess, but I am too blind to see the right solution.
I have a sheet with over 50k rows which also contain a number for suppliers, so these numbers happen to be duplicates.
I got a vba macro which creates a new sheet for every supplier number without duplicates, so thats not the problem.
However, I want to copy the data of the row to the worksheet which is equal to the supplier number appearing in that row.
The supplier numbers are in column A. So, if Row 2 has supplier number 10 then copy the row to sheet "10", Row 3 has number 14 to sheet "14", Row 4 has number 10 to sheet "10" again and so on.
I used the following code I found here and remodeld it a bit.
Sub CopyRows()
Dim DataSht As Worksheet, DestSht As Worksheet
Set DataSht = Sheets("All Data")
RowCount = DataSht.Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To RowCount
DataSht.Range("A" & i).EntireRow.Copy
Set DestSht = Sheets(DataSht.Range("A" & i).Value)
DestLast = DestSht.Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
DestSht.Range("A" & DestLast + 1).Paste
Next i
End Sub
However it get an subscript out of range error on this line:
Set DestSht = Sheets(DataSht.Range("A" & i).Value)
Try this:
For i = 2 To RowCount
Set DestSht = Sheets(CStr(DataSht.Range("A" & i)))
DestLast = DestSht.Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).row
DataSht.Range("A" & i).EntireRow.Copy Destination:=DestSht.Range("A" & DestLast + 1)
Next I
Since:
with CStr function it points to Sheets("12")
while Cstr it'd point to Sheets(12), i.e. the twelfth sheet in the workbook, which could not be the one you'd want or neither be there.
This error is caused because Excel can't identify a sheet with the same name as your column A value. You might want to run this small sub to see if it gives you a clue as to why...
Sub SheetNamesAndIndexes()
DIm ws as Worksheet
For Each ws in ThisWorkbook.Sheets
Debug.print ws.Name & ";" & ws.Index
Next
End Sub
This will show you the names and the indexes of all your sheets. If that doesn't reveal the problem, you can take this and incorporate it into your code to help you debug, like so...
Dim ws as Worksheet
For i = 2 To RowCount
For Each ws in ThisWorkbook.Sheets
Debug.Print ws.Name * ";""" & DataSht.Range("A" & i).Value & """;" & ws.Name = DataSht.Range("A" & i).Value
Next
...
This will put the value of each cell in Col A next to each sheet name, along with whether or not Excel thought the two matched. If you see one that says "False" that you expect to be "True", investigate that next. I've put quotes around the DataSht.Range.Value to make it more obvious if you've got extra spaces, etc.
If that doesn't yield answers, another answer suggested making sure that you're not comparing strings to integers. If that's the case, then wrap your Range.Value in a Cstr() and run it again. Good Luck!

VBA EXCEL Range syntax

I don't understand syntax for range.
Why does this work:
For i = 1 To 10
Range("A" & i & ":D" & i).Copy
Next
But this doesn't work:
For i = 2 To lastRow
num = WorksheetFunction.Match(Cells(i, 1), Range("A" & lastRow), 0)
Next
Why do I need to use
For i = 2 To lastRow
'num = WorksheetFunction.Match(Cells(i, 1), Range("A1:A" & lastRow), 0)
Next
What A1:A mean? Why can't I use
Range("A" & lastRow), 0
There is nothing wrong with your syntax and your code should've work just fine.
The problem with using worksheet function like Match, Vlookup and other look up functions is that if the value being searched is not found, it throws up an error.
In your case, you are trying to search multiple values in just one cell.
So let us say your lastrow is 9. You're code will loop from Cell(2,1) to Cell(9,1) checking if it is within Range("A" & lastrow) or Range("A9").
If your values from Cell(2,1) through Cell(9,1) is the same as your value in Range("A9"), you won't get an error.
Now, if you use Range("A1:A" & lastrow), it will surely work cause you are trying to match every element of that said range to itself and surely a match will be found.
WorksheetFunction.Match(Cells(2,1), Range("A1:A9")) 'will return 2
WorksheetFunction.Match(Cells(3,1), Range("A1:A9")) 'will return 3
'
'
'And so on if all elements are unique
It doesn't matter if you use Range("A9") or Range("A1:A9").
What matters is that you handle the error in case you did not find a match.
One way is to use On Error Resume Next and On Error Goto 0 like this:
Sub ject()
Dim num As Variant
Dim i As Long, lastrow As Long: lastrow = 9
For i = 2 To lastrow
On Error Resume Next
num = WorksheetFunction.Match(Cells(i, 1), Range("A" & lastrow), 0)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then num = "Not Found"
On Error GoTo 0
Debug.Print num
Next
End Sub
Another way is to use Application.Match over WorksheetFunction.Match like this:
Sub ject()
Dim num As Variant
Dim i As Long, lastrow As Long: lastrow = 9
For i = 2 To lastrow
num = Application.Match(Cells(i, 1), Range("A" & lastrow), 0)
Debug.Print num
'If Not IsError(num) Then Debug.Print num Else Debug.Print "Not Found"
Next
End Sub
Application.Match works the same way but it doesn't error out when it returns #N/A. So you can assign it's value in a Variant variable and use it later in the code without any problem. Better yet, use IsError test to check if a value is not found as seen above in the commented lines.
In both cases above, I used a Variant type num variable.
Main reason is for it to handle any other value if in case no match is found.
As for the Range Syntax, don't be confused, it is fairly simple.
Refer to below examples.
Single Cell - All refer to A1
Cells(1,1) ' Using Cell property where you indicate row and column
Cells(1) ' Using cell property but using just the cell index
Range("A1") ' Omits the optional [Cell2] argument
Don't be confused with using cell index. It is like you are numbering all cells from left to right, top to bottom.
Cells(16385) ' refer to A2
Range of contiguous cell - All refer to A1:A10
Range("A1:A10") ' Classic
Range("A1", "A10") ' or below
Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(10, 1))
Above uses the same syntax Range(Cell1,[Cell2]) wherein the first one, omits the optional argument [Cell2]. And because of that, below also works:
Range("A1:A5","A6:A10")
Range("A1", "A8:A10")
Range("A1:A2", "A10")
Non-Contiguous cells - All refer to A1, A3, A5, A7, A9
Range("A1,A3,A5,A7,A9") ' Classic
Without any specific details about the error, I assume that Match does not return the value you expect, but rather an #N/A error. Match has the syntax
=match(lookup_value, lookup_range, match_type)
The lookup_range typically consists of a range of several cells, either a column with several rows or a row with several columns.
In your formula, you have only one cell in the lookup_range. Let's say Lastrow is 10. The first three runs of the loop produce the formula
=Match(A2,A10,0)
=Match(A3,A10,0)
=Match(A4,A10,0)
It is a valid formula but in most cases the result won't be a match but an error. Whereas what you probably want is
=Match(A2,A1:A10,0)
Looking again at your code, stitch it together and find why you need A1:A as a string constant in your formula:
For i = 2 To lastRow
num = WorksheetFunction.Match(Cells(i, 1), Range("A1:A" & lastRow), 0)
Next

VBA countif statement only returns 0

I'm working on a macro that is supposed to count the number of times the term "GM" appears in a column. I decided to use a countif statement, as I have before and it worked well. However, for some reason when I run my code it outputs 0 every time, which definitely is not correct. I've run this same code with other columns and strings and it has worked fine, but for some reason if I search this certain column for the term "GM" it fails. The only thing I can think of is maybe countif only works if the string you're searching for is the only string in a cell, because in all cases where this is true the code works fine. In this particular case the string I'm looking for is not the only string in the cell and the code is failing. I've tried to find more info on whether or not this is true but I can't find anything online. Here's the code if anyone would like to take a look:
Function OemRequest() As Long
Sheets("CS-CRM Raw Data").Select
Sheets("CS-CRM Raw Data").Unprotect
Dim oem As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim LastColumn As Long
'Determines size of table in document
LastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).row
LastColumn = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
oem = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range(2 & "2:" & 2 & LastRow), "gm")
OemRequest = oem
End Function
You are correct that the COUNTIF as written will only match cells where the whole content is "gm". The criteria in the COUNTIF function will also accept wildcards, so to match on cells that contain "gm" do:
.CountIf(Range(2 & "2:" & 2 & LastRow), "*gm*")
Update
As you noted there is also an issue with your Range call. As it is, the expression inside the parens will evaluate to "22:2<LastRow>" (where <LastRow> is the value of the LastRow variable).
The 2's in there should be a variable containing the column name you're interested in. Something like:
Dim col as String
col = "B"
... Range(col & "2:" & col & LastRow) ...
This will evaluate to "B2:B<LastRow>", which is what you want.
Another possibility:
oem = WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Columns(LastColumn).Cells(2).Resize(rowsize:=LastRow - 1), "gm")
This will count cells containing "gm" (use wilcards if needed) in the LAST column of the table, except the one in the first row. (It assumes the table upper left corner is in cell "A1")
Of course you can create a variable if you would like to count any other column:
Dim lngCol as Long
lngCol = ...
oem = WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Columns(lngCol).Cells(2).Resize(rowsize:=LastRow - 1), "gm")
I think in this way
Sub Main()
Application.ScreenUpdating = 0
Dim Count As Double
Range("C1").Activate 'Firs row in the column
Do While ActiveCell.Value <> ""
If InStr(ActiveCell.Value, "MyText") Then
Count = Count + 1
End If
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = 1
End Sub
This will work, only if the data cell is not empty, if there is an empty space in middle of the worksheet, do this:
Sub Main()
Application.ScreenUpdating = 0
Dim Count As Double
Range("C1").Activate
Do While ActiveCell.Row <> Rows.Count ' This wil evaluate all the rows in the 'C' Column
If InStr(ActiveCell.Value, "MyText") Then
Count = Count + 1
End If
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = 1
End Sub
Hope it's work for you.

Application defined or object defined error on code

I get an error on this line in my code, any ideas what the issue may be?
Intersect(.UsedRange, .UsedRange.Offset(1)).SpecialCells(12).EntireRow.Delete
Here is the rest of the code:

Worksheets("Resultados").Range("C17") = count_IDL
Your expression works on my test worksheet so the problem must be something about your data.
I do not like stringing properties together like this because the objective becomes very unclear. Worse, if it fails, you do not know where is fails.
Try replacing the statement with this:
Dim rng As Range
Debug.Print .UsedRange.Address
Debug.Print .UsedRange.Offset(1).Address
Set rng = Intersect(.UsedRange, .UsedRange.Offset(1))
Debug.Print rng.Address
Debug.Print rng.SpecialCells(12).Address
Debug.Print rng.SpecialCells(12).EntireRow.Address
rng.SpecialCells(12).EntireRow.Delete
Step through this code to make sure each range is as you expect.
My guess that that there are no visible cells in the range so you are attempting to delete Nothing.
Edit Extra information about finding last row of worksheet.
There are a variety of methods of finding the last used row or column of a worksheet. None work in every situation but UsedRange is the method least likely to give the result you expect.
The most popular method of finding the last row, judging by answers here, is:
RowLast = .Cells(Rows.Count,9).End(xlUp).Row
This is the VBA equivalent of placing the cursor in the bottom cell of column 9 and clicking Ctrl+Up. RowLast will be set to the last row with a value in column 9 unless you have a value in the bottom cell. For this method to be of any use, there must be a value in the specified column of the last used row.
Find is a reliable method of finding the last value by either row or column.
SpecialCells is another useful method.
This answer of mine VBA Dynamic Ranges includea a macro, FindFinal, which demonstrates how these methods can fail to give the result you might expect. If you wish to fully understand the issues, step through this macro studying what happens.

Excel VBA: Compiler Errors

So yesterday I posted my first SO question, and it went down like a ton of bricks. However I've picked myself up, dusted myself off, and hopefully this question will be more acceptable... :-)
I am trying to remove data duplicates from a list of Health Questionnaires I have to monitor, but the tricky bit I was struggling with was finding a duplicate in one column, AND then checking that the data on the same row, for the 3 adjacent columns were also duplicates. Storing the searched for 'duplicated row' was the bit that was throwing me off.
Here's some code I've cobbled together from other similarly-functioning scripts. I'm now in debug mode and keep getting errors thrown up... I don't have much experience of VBA, so i'm running out of options.
I'm currently getting type mismatch errors with the variable g, and also firstAddress. Why are these causing problems???
Can I call firstAddress.Row or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Here's the snippet:
g = .Find(Range("G" & i).Text, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not g Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = g.Address
dupRow = firstAddress.Row
And here's the whole code below. Any help would be much appreciated!
Sub FindCpy()
Dim lw As Long
Dim i As Integer
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim dupRow As Integer
Dim g As Integer
Dim firstAddress As Integer
'Used for the new worksheet we are pasting into
Dim objNewSheet As Worksheet
Dim rngNextAvailbleRow As Range
'Used to narrow down the logical operators for duplicates
Dim rngFirst As Range
'Set the ranges
rngFirst = Range("G" & 1, "G" & lw)
Set sh = Sheets("Completed")
lw = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To lw 'Find duplicates from the list.
If Application.CountIf(Range("A" & i & ":A" & lw), Range("A" & i).Text) = "Complete" Then
'if COMPLETE, check the rest of the sheet for any 'in progress' duplicates...
With Worksheets("Still In Progress").rngFirst
g = .Find(Range("G" & i).Text, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not g Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = g.Address
dupRow = firstAddress.Row
If Range("H" & dupRow).Text = Range("H" & i).Text _
And Range("I" & dupRow).Text = Range("I" & i).Text _
And Range("J" & dupRow).Text = Range("J" & i).Text Then
'select the entire row
Range.EntireRow.Select
'copy the selection
Selection.Cut
'Now identify and select the new sheet to paste into
Set objNewSheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Completed")
objNewSheet.Select
'Looking at your initial question, I believe you are trying to find the next available row
Set rngNextAvailbleRow = objNewSheet.Range("A1:A" & objNewSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
Range("A" & rngNextAvailbleRow.Rows.Count + 1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
'delete the initial row
rngCell.EntireRow.Delete
Set g = .FindNext(g)
Loop While Not g Is Nothing And g.Address <> firstAddress
End If
End With
Next i
End Sub
I went through your code carefully. There were a number of problems. Some of these I think I was able to fix - there was one where I guessed what you intended to do, but for one of them I just marked it; you need to explain what you were trying to do, as you are deleting a range that you never defined...
The first problem is with the line:
If Application.CountIf(Range("A" & i & ":A" & lw), Range("A" & i).Text) = "Complete" Then
The CountIf function returns a number; you are comparing this number with the string "Complete". I don't think you can ever get past this line, so the rest of the code (whether correct or not) will not execute. Not entirely clear what you are trying to do in this line, as I'm not sure when a line will be marked "Complete" - but assuming that you are interested in executing the rest of the code if the cell in A & i has the string "Complete" in it, then you probably want to do
If Range("A" & i).Text = "Complete" Then
There were a number of If - Then, With, and Loop structures that were not properly terminated with a matching End. I have tried to remedy this - make sure I did it right. Note that using proper indentation really helps to find problems like this. The space bar is your friend...
Since the Find method returns an object, the correct way to use the function is
Set g = .Find(Range("G" & i).Text, LookIn:=xlValues)
Apart from that - use Option Explicit at the top of your code, and define variables with the most restrictive (correct) type that you can. When I did this I found the error I could not correct - with the rngCell variable that was neither declared, nor ever set... It shows just how helpful it can be. Also good for catching typos - VBA will happily let you write things like
myVar = 1
MsgBox myVra + 1
The message will be 1, not 2, because of the typo... The fact that Explicit should even be an option is one of the many inexplicable design decisions made by the VBA team.
Here is your code "with most of the errors fixed". At least like this it will compile - but you must figure out what to do with the remaining error (and I can't be sure I guessed right about what you wanted to do with the cell marked "Complete").
Comments welcome.

Loop While Not g Is Nothing And g.Address <> firstAddress
End If ' entire row matched
End If ' Not g Is Nothing

End If ' CountIf = "Complete"
Next i
End Sub
Another handy trick: when you "paste in the next available row" as you are doing with Range("A" & rngNextAvailbleRow.Rows.Count + 1).Select, I usually find it handy to do something like this instead:
Dim destination As Range
Set destination = Worksheets("Sheetname").Range("A1")
And when you need to paste something:
destination.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Set destination = destination.Offset(1,0)
This way, destination is always pointing to the "next place where I can paste". I find it helpful and cleaner.
