Check For Empty Cells In Non Contiguous Range
Aug 13, 2008
The application reads in a file, whcih can have various formats. To check which format it's in, I plan to look for certain empty fields/ cells. I can successfully detect a group of empty cells by explicitly testing each one, but when I put them all in a range and test that, the check fails. So far I've reduced the problem to the following example code.
Sub check_clear()
Range("g1:g8").clear
If IsEmpty(Range("a1")) Then
Range("g2") = "A1 empty"
End If
If IsEmpty(Range("b1")) Then
Range("g3") = "B1 empty"
End If
If IsEmpty(Range("c1")) Then
Range("g4") = "C1 empty"
End If
If IsEmpty(Range("d1")) Then
Range("g5") = "D1 empty"
End If..............
The result is that each individual cell check results in the relevant "XX empty" message. However, the test that the range of multiple cells is empty never produces a result. I'd really like to understand the underlying reason - as well as find out how to perform an isEmpty test on a range. I'm looking more for guidance and insight than a canned solution

Is there a way to prevent a workbook from closing or being submitted until information has been entered into the following cells? B78, B80, B82, B84, B86, B88, B90, B92, B94, B96, B98, B100, B102, B104, and B106?

I have an if statement as follows:
If IsEmpty(Range(Cells(iCurrentRow, iFirstDataColumn), Cells(iCurrentRow, iTotalCol)))
Then
i did a select to make sure it was selecting the whole range I want and it works fine:
Range(Cells(iCurrentRow, iFirstDataColumn), Cells(iCurrentRow, iTotalCol)).Select
Inside my range I can have cells with 0s in them and cells with nothing in them. What I would like my if statement to do is return true ONLY when ALL cells have nothing in them. At the moment, even if I have 0's in some cells, it's returning false.

I have data in Row 53 that spans 7 columns, but stays in the same row. I want to design a loop to select every 7th cell in that row and check if it is empty. If not, add onto a "counter" then display the final number of occupied cells (the value of the counter) at the end. This is what I have so far, but I get all sorts of errors.
Code:
Sub Tester()
Dim WB As Workbook
Dim WS As Worksheets
Dim modCounter As Long
Dim Cell As Range
Set WB = Workbook("Transverse Series.xlsm")
Set WS = WB.Sheets(BM18)
[Code] ......

I have this code here, which run's fine, if I don't include the red line. The red code, should do the following: If the "D" Column and/or the "E" columns k-th cell have no value then it should increase the k by one. If theres a cell in "D" or in "E" (or in both of them) which have a value in it then it should start the "EXECUTING COMMANDS" part.
Code:
...
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = wb.Sheets(1)
...
Do While ws.Range("A" & k).Value ""
[Code]...
But this won't start too after processing the do while line. How this .value command works.

I have a number of worksheets, each sheet is set up like a data entry form, at the bottom of which is a command button that takes them to the next worksheet based on a value in a cell. what i want to do is before it takes them to the next worksheet it checks a selection of cells, if any of which are blank it shows an error message and wont allow them to continue, better still the cell that is blank it high lights with a red border.

I want to be able to copy cell D4, I4, G10, G12 etc from one spreadsheet and paste into another spreadsheet in the same locations as the source.
Is there a macro that will do this?

Column 'N' and 'O' will be used for inputting information and will never be hidden
Column 'E' through 'F' hold information, however the user will have hidden all but one of columns 'E' through 'F' before running macro
Once the user initiates the macro, the program will detect which column in 'E' through 'F' is not hidden
The macro will then start at row one of the unhidden column and loop down looking for the text 'Req' (not including ' )
If the loop finds 'Req' it will search in column 'N' of the same row for any data at all
If it finds data in column 'N' for that particular row, it will check column 'O' of that same row for any data at all
If it finds data in column 'O' also, then all 3 parameters have been met
The loop should continue checking for these 3 items through row 500
If the loop determines that for every 'Req' found in the unhidden row there is data in the corresponding column 'N' and 'O' a message will appear that says 'Checklist Complete"
Upon closing the message box, the file should save and then exit
If the loop determines that for every 'Req' found in the unhidden row, there is not always data present in column 'N' and 'O' the message box should appear and say 'Checklist Incomplete'
In the same message box, it should provide a list under 'Checklist Incomplete' that provides the text found in column 'D' for each row where it failed the test of having 'Req' in the unhidden row and data at all in column 'N' and 'O'
That last part will give the user a tool to see where they might have forgotton to enter data.

I have a spreadsheet that uses IF(C5>J5,(EDATE(C5,12)),(EDATE(J5,12)))__ IF(J9<D9,(D9-$N$1)) where N1 is current date. If C5 and J5 are empty how do I get it to ignore the formula and just leave the other cells blank?

I have a long range of cells (U3:AX3), all of which are empty save one. Is there a way to search through the range of cells, and return the contents of the one cell that contains text?
I would do this with a series of nested IF statements if there weren't more than 30 of them!

I recently found this code for selecting a whole column of non continuous cells.
ActiveSheet.Range("a1",ActiveSheet.Range("a65536").End(xlUp)).Select
How can I change the "a1" & "a65536" so it can work and be activecell instead?

I've got a list and I need to check if the adjacent cells for a column are empty or not, and if both are empty then format to a certain color. I have a solution but don't know how to implement it into a format fit for conditional formatting.
I have this in the new rule section of conditional formatting
=IF(AND(ISBLANK(OFFSET(I4,0,-1)),(ISBLANK(OFFSET(I4,0,1))),(ISBLANK(I4)=FALSE)),TRUE,FALSE)
If conditional formatting would allow it I would simply change I4 to the entire range, I am very much confused as to how to format this cell to work with conditional formatting. (I4 is the first cell in the list)
Something else is that if I change I4 to I5 or something then moves all the highlighted cells around, and to top it off the first few cells which should obviously be highlighted aren't, even though the rest of the cells which should be highlighted are.

I am trying to clear the contents of a range of contiguous cells (containing formula) in Excel 2010 64bit. But it is taking a LONG time (read >30min to clear a range 288 x 100). Originally was doing it in VBA but it was taking too long so I started stepping through the macro and identified that the slow down was occurring on a particular sheet only. So the problem is in Excel....not VBA because it is still very slow when deleting the same range in Excel without using VBA.
I've tried all the usual suspects including: Application.EnableEvents = False (run from the VBA Immediate window when using Excel without VBA), Setting to Example of slow clear contents5.xlsxExample of slow clear contents5.xlsxManual Calculation, Turning off screen updating, deleting all the conditional formatting on the sheet, removing any data validation from the sheet (yes all these at the same time). There are no links to external workbooks. I've even tried in VBA changing from .ClearContents to .Value = vbNullString. All to NO AVAIL! By way of background the file is about 72Mb #.xlsm.
If I try to clear contents of larger ranges on other sheets in the same workbook it is instantaneous. If I copy the problem worksheet off to a new workbook, I can delete the problem range almost instantly. Why deleting a range of cells should take so long! Again to clarify, I am using the terms "delete" and "clear contents" interchangeably, but they both mean "clear contents" (not delete and move up cells). P.S I've also looked into the reported conflict between Excel and Google Desktop Office Add-in (Office Button->Excel Options->Addins->Com Addins and deselect Google Desktop Office Addin) but I didn't have Google Desktop Office Add-in so it isn't that.

I am using a Uderform in order to check if some cells in several columns are higher or lower than values I set in my textboxes.
However, I think I am having a mistake in my code (it runs but doesnt return the correct informations) as I have blank cells in certain columns.
Concretely I am giving 1 point if the criteria is valid (if for example the value in the cell is <= 1) but some of these criteria are 1 when they should be 0.
As I said it runs but I need to add a fix for empty cells / blank cells and if possible N/A error cells in this so that the code gives 0 to the criteria and moves to the next column (next select case)..

I am running Excel 2003 on a Win7 system.
Here is my situation:
Each of my data sets spans roughly 75 columns by 250 rows at present, but this could expand. The first 7 rows contain metadata. Columns 2-25 or so contain the raw data, from which everything to the right is calculated. The data sets have most columns in common, but not necessarily all.
In order to tease out the most meaningful information from my data, I frequently sort all or part of it based on varying criteria. When I find a useful sorting criterion, I create a new column with a header that describes the criterion and populate it with a formula that returns a 1 if the condition of interest is met for that row, or a 0 if it is not. For example, if I am doing this in column AA, I might enter
=--(AND($AX8>$AA$4,$Y8>0))
and copy it down to the end of the data. The resulting vector of 1s and 0s quickly re-identify data that meets that criterion even after subsequent resorting. It also makes locating data that meets multiple sorting criteria extremely simple. Essentially, I create a truth table.
Cell $AA$4 in the above example contains a "comparator" value I might wish to change at some point, which would change the subset of data the condition selects for.
Here's the first hard part:
For each data set, I need the ability to generate meaningful plots that includes separate series based on the criteria I have described. However, I also need to retain the ability to resort the data or change the comparator value without disrupting these plots. In other words, the plots must NOT change when the order of the data is changed, but MUST change to display the appropriate data when the comparator changes.
Here's the 2nd hard part:
Once I have this working for one data set, I need to be able to port it to other data sets (which are contained in other workbooks), so that I can compare equivalent plots from each. I also need to minimize the number of manual steps involved in doing so, to avoid human errors and excessive time consumption.
The only other possible complication I can think of at the moment is that, to this point, I have been inserting blank rows to isolate subsets that I do not wish to perform further sorting on from each other.
Right now I am angling toward VBA code that loops through the entire data set to generate base dynamic ranges using the column header row (row 1) as the names, and the entire column of data for the rangeloops through the truth table columns to generate "branch" row ranges for each of the sorting conditions,loops through the entire data set one more time to create "branch" ranges for each of the base ranges.
I could generate some code to accomplish a one-off solution for a given configuration of a single data set (provided there is not a list length limit in a chart series that I'd be violating)...but without a dynamic named range, I don't know how to get to something that would update appropriately. So in essence, I am still stuck at the dynamic range part of this.

I am trying to lock the unused cells in 32, 2 column by 7 row named ranges, based on whether or not two cells, above each range are equal or less than each other. In other words while one of the cells is less than or equal to the second cell all cells in the range below should be unlocked, as soon as that condition is no longer true the blank cells need to be locked.
I am trying to use this in the Workbook_Sheetcalculate so that the macro will run automatically.

=IF( SUM(S7:Y7)="","",SUM(S7:Y7)) - Produces 0
=IF(SUM(S7:Y7)="0","",SUM(S7:Y7)) - Still Produces 0
What I am trying to do is if ALL cells S7 thru Y7 are blank then be blank otherwise sum them. I've used this on a single cell, but not to test a range of cells. What I use for a single cell would be like this...
=IF(S7="","",S7) - Will not produce 0 if the cell is blank, just leaves it blank.

trying to add cells together that contain time (hours and minutes). The cell containing the total formula shows the #VALUE! result when and only when one or more cells being added do not have a value in them.
The times have been entered as actual times of the day, formatted for AM/PM.
A simple adding formula works fine, but all cells must have a value in them to obtain a valid result.
I attach a sample of the sheet.

If I have the following cells and values

I want a vba if statement that makes A5 = "Numeric.
If I have:
A1 = 0
A2 = 0
A3 = A
A4 = 0
I want A5 to = "Non Numeric"
Similarly if:

A2 = ""
A3 = ""

Is there a way to do this without looping through each cell in the range?

I have X amount of cells (formulasheet) , these are used to input data, which is then summarized into a sheet on the same file. I'm trying to find a code that forces the user to fill out all the fields. If the user do not, the "submit button" will not proceed, at least not work. Almost like a forum registrating, where it is required to fill it all some mandatory fields in order to proceed.
The cells datatypes are mixed, some are Integer and some are String.
Is there anyway that are code can be written "if the cell(s) is FALSE (nothing in the cell) then display message.

I require code to identify the last row in column 'A' that contains data, and then to select every row up to that one, and each column up to 'H'. My data begins on row 3, and the rows with data varies from row 7 through 120. The columns with data is constant so there is no need to test in that direction.
