Automate Macro With A Loop
Sep 11, 2013
I have worked out how to get my macro behaving the way I want however now I would like to automate the whole process. Basically I would like the macro to work its way down a column (in this example column F) until it has completed and there is no more data in the row before the last.
Here is a code snippet of my macro
Code:
Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+a'
If ActiveCell = 2013 Then
ActiveCell.Offset(, 2).Range("A1:E1").Select
Selection.Cut
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll ToRight:=24
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 24).Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
[code]......

I have got the general principles of macros and VBA downpath.
Excel Example.xlsx
The document I'm working with is confidential, so this is an example. Basically, I'd like to string together the content of all cells from the second column associated with each company in the first column (separated by comma + space). In the original document, the companies are located in B2 to B8486, and the key words are located in D2 to D8486. My example uses ampersands, but I seem to understand Concatenate would yield the same results.

I am trying to write a small macro involving Len and Left formulas. This will take input from two cells and and give the value on a third cell. I know how to do this on excel. This goes as follows:
Value on A5 = HB_AM_1
Value on B5 = 1
My formula to extract the specific text =LEFT(A5,LEN(A5)-LEN(B5)-1).
My result on D5= HB_AM
Here, my inputs are clearly defined and I can write this formula on cell D5 to get the result. I can copy this down to the end of my data and I can get my result.
My challenges: I need to do this for various reports where the data extends to various rows. I think looping will solve the problem, but not sure how to do it. The value on cell B5 will always show the last number at the cell A5 (1 in the eg above). So, if the number in A5 is 10, value in B5 will also be 10. This is already there in my data, so I do not worry about this part.

I have a stock sheet of about 1500 items that is printed every 3 months for stock take.
The changes are then entered manually. I have set up a stock order sheet using VLookup and manually enter the items that need to be ordered. I'm wanting to know if i could use a macro to do this automatically and check only for the stock items that have changed (ie. items have been sold ). Stock levels needed on hand are usually constant but is changed from time to time so will have to be taken into consideration. I have included an example worksheet which would better explain what i have been doing so far. Also if possible could the macro generate a new worksheet for the order sheet and name it the corresponding date and month of generation.

I have a macro in Module1 of workbook "BAU" called "ExtractToSheets" which exports data depending on the contents of a cell (Thanks royUK et al)
At the moment however, you must run the macro manually to export the data.
Now, i have put some simple validation in column K of worksheet "BAU Data" within the "BAU" workbook. Whenever a cell within a predefined range with column K is changed to "Yes" i want the macro to run AND i want the row the cell is in to be locked so it cannot be edited further by the user. I have had too many users mess up previous sheets i have made to collect my data, and i wish to make this one somewhat more idiot-proof!
Any pearls of wisdom folks?
I would have attached a representation of my sheet, unfortunately because there is now a macro in my spreadsheet, our trigger-happy security software won't let me post it!

I've recorded a macro which selects "1" in a filter drop-down box then prints some pages, then comes back and selects "2" in the filter then prints some pages, etc etc etc.
I've looked at the code for this and it treats the "1", and the "2" etc as text each time - originally I had the filter on names, but the names change each time I need to do this whilst the process doesn't, so I filtered on numbers instead.
However, I would have to enter the repeated blocks of code down to 1000 to get it to select down to "1000" in the filter. About 3/4 lines each time but with me manually typing in 1, 2, 3, 4 .... 999, 1000.
Is there a way to say in VBA 'repeat filter selection until you've run out of numbers then come back to "All" and stop ?

Here is my scenario:
4 step process or more?
1)I have a text file (with delimiters) that I want to be copied over to an existing workbook (because of the header)
2)So now I have a temporary workbook that includes the header and the data from the text file. I want this temporary data to be transferred or copied to a sheet in another workbook(s), wipe out previous data and store the new one. Save the workbook(s) and close.
3)Close temporary file. Don't save.
4)I want this process to be automated -- run it daily everyday at say, 6:30 in the morning.

I need to use the Advanced Filter tool to allow the user to filter (in-place) the Guests worksheet while providing the following summary stats: total revenue, ave. revenue, max/min revenue and total number of tours ie the user should be able to enter any criteria below the database to to show only those records (and summary stats) that satisfy the criteria.
To automate the operation of the advanced filter tool, I need three macros. "SelectRoom" and "SelectGuest" macros should prompt the user to enter a value through an input box to filter the data according to a client's name or language tour. The third macro, called "ShowAllGuests" should clear the criteria row and dispay all clients in the database.
The first two macros should include an error message to prompt the user to rerun a macro if no clients satisfied the criteria while the "ShowAllGuests" macro should include a message box statement at the end to display a short message giving credit to the macro author. These macros also require a button each (three in total) in the Guests worksheet!

I've got a problem with copying cells from table A to B.
A short insight of the situation:
Table A shows: ITEM_1 = 3, consequently ITEM_1 from table A is copied to table B for 3 times.
I've got a few huge information blocks to handle (up to 5000 items) obviously it's unreasonable to do this manually.
I've added an xlsx file with more detailed description.

I have a spreadsheet tool that I use to calculate values on a set of variables, based on values on an initial set of other variables, for a large number of cases.
The calculations require a number of sequential steps to be repeated to get the calculated values for each case, and I am hoping there is a straightforward way to use a VB macro to automate this process.
Essentially, these steps are required to calculate values for a single case:
1. A data input sheet holds the values on the initial/input variables for each case. The first step involves copying the string of values for the case on the input variables into a sheet where the calculations are done.
2. As soon as the input string of values are pasted into the calculation sheet, the calculation formulas generate values for the case on the new, output variables.
3. The output variable string is then copied from the calculation sheet into a “results output” sheet. This copy/paste procedure needs to offset from the first row on the output sheet, so that the row number where the values on the output variables are stored correspond to the case ID. For example, case ID 10 is stored 10 rows down from the first row (i.e., on row 11). Case ID 100 is stored 100 rows down from the first row (i.e., on row 101).
As there are a very large number of cases, I need to have a “control panel” in place, where I can indicate the range of case IDs that will be processed. This takes the form of two cells – one indicates “From ID” and the other “To ID” (for example, “From ID” 1 “To ID” 100). The macro then uses this information to loop through the calculation steps outlined above for these case IDs.

I have 5 Excel files. The first one is Main, and the other 4 are subfiles, namely A1, A2, A3 & A4. I have a need to open Main, then click a button to start a Macro (in Main) which will do the following, sequentially:
1. open A1
2. run a Macro in A1
3. close and save A1.
4. open A2
5. run a Macro in A2
...
12 close and save A4.
The files A1..A4 are a file server and being shared. If they're being used by another user, it cannot be saved - so I would have to skip it and continue with the next A. It would be great if start Excel, open Main, and run the Macro in Main fully automatically.

I'm looking for information on building a macro that will automate making copies of a spreadsheet into another workbook that contains very particular information. My master sheet has lists of my customers and the rep's that service them. What I need to do is have macro buttons for each rep. that will pull all the shops that they service and all information for these shops into another spreadsheet.

I have recorded a macro to sort a range of cell based on two values that is dependent on time in another cell. I now want the macro to run automatically when refreshing the workbook with F9, so as the time changes so will the sorting. Everything works fine except the sorting doesn't refresh when F9 is refreshed.
My recorded macro is:
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim X As Long, FillCT As Long
For X = 1 To 4
If Cells(Rows.count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(0, X - 1) <> "" Then FillCT = FillCT + 1
[Code] .....

I have a worksheet of 5 columns. What I would like to do is subtotal an amount in column d, where the item code in column b are the same. Lets say there are 5 rows with code 8150 in column b, I want to add all these rows up BUT ALSO add up any rows which are 8150+1 (x+1) i.e. 8151. All transactions where the code in column B, x + (x+1) = 0. All true results should then be cut and pasted into a new worksheet (one worksheet for all transactions that are true).
e.g.
8150 1233
8150 12
8150 644
8151 -2084
8151 -10
8151 -205
Total of above amounts is zero, therefore cut and paste to new spreadsheet.
Now that I think about it, its actually quite complicated.

Can I adapt this code so that users receive the alert if they try and go to the next field without filling in the required ones, or - better - to combine it with a code that does not run a macro, but instead gives the alert, if the required fields have been missed. (I don't require anything to do with printing, this was the closest code I could find)
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
If Sheet1. Range("A1").Value = "" Then
MsgBox "Cannot print until required cells have been completed!"
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub

I found this script which is very similar to what I want to do but I am not sure how to finish modifying it.
This script compares every cell in Column B to Z on Sheet1 with Cell A1 on Sheet2, if it matches it will copy the active cell in column A and past the results to column A no Sheet3.

I am the consolidator for a specfic Excel file to be converted into CSV. In order for this file to be uploaded into our database properly it needs to be in a specific format and certain values must be entered if other cells have been filled in. At this point I have locked the formating so users cannot change it and I have created a Macro for blank cell rules.
The Macro is to verify that cells are not blank if the value in A is not blank. At this point it works as it should, for row 4. However, I would like to Loop this Macro throughout the entire worksheet.
The Macro I have created is (minus several columns for simpler reading purposes):
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
If Worksheets("JE FILE").Range("B4").Value = "" And Worksheets("JE FILE").Range("A4").Value "" Then
MsgBox "You must fill in Customer."
Cancel = True
[Code] .......

Currently, I have two spreadsheets.
The first (SS1) is where my raw data is populated.
The second (SS2) is my template.
In the first spreadsheet, I have a macro (button) that opens up SS2.
Then in SS1, I also have another button that I click and it 'transfers' the first line of data to SS2.
In SS2, I have a save Macro, which basically saves as per the name in Cell A1.
What I would like to do is to loop the process, i.e. when I click the 'Transfer' button in SS1, it will open up the 'template' spreadsheet (SS2), copy the information across, save & close and repeat this for the remaining data in SS1.
Is there a simple coding to use that can loop this process for me?
I would attach the two spreadsheets for you to view but I am unsure how to upload on here.

I would like the macro to loop through rows and highlight the cell in column G if the value is at least 2x greater than the value in the cell in column D.
Right now I have a very long macro... but I'd like to change it so goes through all the rows I assign it to instead of writing many lines of code (lots of if then statements):
Sub Macro4()
Range("G28").Select
If Range("G28") > 2 * Range("D28") Then
With Selection.Interior
.Pattern = xlSolid
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Color = 65535
.TintAndShade = 0
.PatternTintAndShade = 0
End With
End If

I'm trying to get this macro to loop and have no idea what I need to do do to get the macro to keep repeating until it gets to the last item in a list.
I have a list of addresses (some are 3 rows long, some 4 and some 5). And I want to Copy each one then paste special in the empty cell between it & the next address entry.
Here's the code for my simple macro that does one copy & paste ... I have to do each one manually & would like to modify the macro to go all the way to the end of my list.
I read that there are 4 types of loops (While Loop, For Loop, Do While, ??) ... don't know how to choose which one or how to use/format with my exisiting macro.
Sub Transpose_j()
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=True
End Sub..........................

I'm using a macro to drag down a formula across a worksheet then again further down the worksheet which is working ok but I know there has to be a better way of doing it. At the moment every time I add a new column I have to edit the macro over and over and its getting out of hand. I know there must be a way of rewriting the macro into a loop but my skills are obviously still new.
Here's the macro:
[Code] ......
This continues over to column AO so far then I drop down a few rows and do it again:
[Code] .....
I think I need to set variables that set the row and column each time. maybe a "drag formula one column at a time from row x to row y until column header is empty then move to the new row and repeat"?

I have a number of workbooks which contain 62 tabs each. I need a macro that copies specific information from each tab and pastes it to a summary table which will be uplaoded to an access database. I created a macro that works when I manually click on each tab and run the macro. I then added a loop to try and automate. when I run the macro, it loops through all of the tabs, but it only copies and pastes from the first tab, resulting in 62 line items fron the 1st tab. I need to know how to set the active tab to which ever tab the loop is on.

I have a row of data. The first few columns are given data, and then the next few columns are equations that use the first few columns of data.
The next row down adds the result of a few of the equations in the row above it to the given data, and the equations are calculated again.
It looks a bit like this:
1231437-111213-9
in the first row, 1 and 2 are just given. 3 is just 1+2 (a1+b1), and in the last column, 1 is just 2-1 (b1-a1). In the second row, A2 is A1+C1, and B2 is just B1+D1, C2 and D2 are the same calcs as C1 and D2.
This row is then filled down.
What I would like to do, is just calculate what the first two columns of data are by just entering the number of cycles id like to make, instead of filling down the row.
For example, I would like to just enter N=3 in a cell, and it returns 11 and 2. Or N = 1000 and it would give me whatever the first two values are if i had filled the row down 1000 rows.
