Clear Non-Contiguous Ranges
Feb 28, 2008
I'm getting an error on Range("AB6:AS12,..."). The error is: "1004 Runtime error, Method 'Range' of object '_Global' failed". My code should copy the values from place A to B. Then clear the content of B. Heres my code:
Sub Ny_uke()
' copy cells
Range("B21:K50").Value = Range("AX21:BG50").Value
Range("B54:K83").Value = Range("AX54:BG83").Value
Range("B87:K116").Value = Range("AX87:BG116").Value
Range("B120:K149").Value = Range("AX120:BG149").Value
Range("B153:K182").Value = Range("AX153:BG182").Value
Range("B186:K215").Value = Range("AX186:BG215").Value
Range("B219:K248").Value = Range("AX219:BG248").Value
' clear content of cells
Range("AB6:AS12,B21:K50,B54:K83,B87:K116,B120:K149,B153:K182,B186:K215,B219:K248").Clear
End Sub
When the error occurs I can press 'Debug' and continue the script whiteout changing the code and the code will continue without any errors. If I place the line 'Range("...")' on top of the script no error occurs. I I split the 'Range("...").Clear' into several Range("AB6:AS12").Clear the problem solves, but this produces several unwanted lines of code.

Am looking for routine that can be used to delete the contents of cells from multiple, non-contiguous cells throughout a single worksheet. I would like to place a "button" or some form of toggle-switch on the worksheet that will clear all entries at once. I see a thread "Macro Deleting Wrong Cells" that references a VBA sub-routine called "DelCells". I happen to be running Excel 2007 and am still adjusting to the new menu "structure" :-)

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 have a spreadsheet that I have developed at work to track sales related data. As part of the reporting for this data, it is sorted by date. I have been asked to capture some additional related data and due to the structure of the spreadsheet(that has been in use several months with no issues) I can not put the additional data in adjacent columns without doing a complete redesign of the format.
I can place the data several columns away.... The data "in the middle" is static and is used for other calculations and should not be sorted. Is there a way to sort both ranges of data WITHOUT disturbing the columns separating them and keep the proper relationship with the data?
See attached for a very simple example. In this data set the "original" data was in range A2:E11 the "New" data is in Range I2:M11. It would make life simple if I could do something like this (but it sorts everything in between)

I want to count the number of cells with a “#n/a” in for a cell range which is non-continuous. For example my cell range is: “H5,J5,L5,N5,P5,R5,T5,V5". I’ve tried a few different things but I can’t get the function to work.

I'm creating a coversheet that shows the percentage of "yes" and "no" answers from several cells in other sheets of the book. My problem is that I'm trying to use a countif statement to do it, and the cells i'm counting aren't in a simple range. ex. A1:A10
In stead i'm trying to get something like:
=COUNTIF((Sheet2!A2,Sheet2!A10,Sheet2!A15),"yes")

I have Workbooks("A") and Workbooks("B") open.
Workbooks("A") contains Sheets("Sheet1"). Range("mySource").
Workbooks("B") contains Sheets("Sheet1").Range("myTarget").
Both ranges have been created by joining multiple ranges, in this way:
Union(Range("C1:C13"), Range("K1:K2"), Range("K5:K9"), Range("K14"), Range("Q6"), _
Range("I18"), Range("B20:P20"), Range("B24"), Range("C26:E26"), Range("C29"), _
Range("B34:B40"), Range("B44:Q50")).Name = "mySource" 'or "myTarget"
So: both ranges contain the same number of cells with the same addresses, and they have been added in the same order. However, if now I try to pass all values from mySource to myTarget, in this way:
Workbooks("B").Sheets("Sheet1").Range("myTarget").Value = _
Workbooks("A").Sheets("Sheet1").Range("mySource").Value
the result is a complete mess. Only the first "subrange" of mySource ("C1:C13") is passed to myTarget, and pasted in each of its "subranges", sometimes by rows and sometimes by columns...

2-99-6-5-99-2-1-99-4-3
3-99-7-8-99-5-6-99-8-9
4-99-8-7-99-6-5-99-9-8
etc
after sort:
---A-B-C--D-E-F--G-H-I
1-99-5-6-99-1-2-99-3-4
2-99-5-6-99-1-2-99-3-4
3-99-7-8-99-5-6-99-8-9
4-99-7-8-99-5-6-99-8-9
etc
Sub SortNoncontiguousRanges()
Dim rRange As Range
Dim lArea As Long
'10 rows in columns B and C
'10 rows in columns E and F
'10 rows in columns H and I
Set rRange = Range("B1:C10,E1:F10,H1:I10")

I have tried:
Code:
With Sheet1
x = .[b7:i16,b19:i23,b27:i32].Value
But that only loads the first range (.[b7:i16]).
This does work:
Code:
.[b7:i16,b19:i23,b27:i32].Copy .[z1]: x = .[z1:ag21]: .[z1:ag21].Clear
I would rather avoid having to copy/paste, load the array, then clear. Is there a way to load the array directly?

trying to select multiple ranges of data at once using variables as my selection range criteria.
I.e., I want something similar to:
Range("A10:A30,B10:B30,E10:E30").Select
But would like to be able to perform the same selection using variables.
StartVar = 10, EndVar = 30
I'm sure it's just a matter of syntax, but I can't seem to get it right.

I use to have a macro that could copy formulas from non contiguous ranges and paste the values in the same cells. So for example, I could select a non contiguous range like B5:B10, E10:F12, and G1:G10. The macro would then copy and paste the values in those 3 ranges, so those 3 ranges would be values instead of formulas.
I think it worked by storing each range and then looping through each range to copy and paste special values.

I have a worksheet that has a few ranges and I need a printarea statement that looks like this:
Code:
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$F$26,$G$1:$L$9,$M$1:$P$16,$Q$1:$S$7"
The above works, but each time I generate this worksheet, the ranges for the last row of each area can be dynamic.
So, I tried something like this:
Code:
Sub setPrtArea()
'set the print area
lr1 = Range("F65536").End(xlUp).Row
rngA = Range("$A$1:$F$" & lr1)
lr2 = Range("L65536").End(xlUp).Row
rngB = Range("$G$1:$L$" & lr2)
lr3 = Range("P65536").End(xlUp).Row
rngC = Range("$M$1:$P$" & lr3)
lr4 = Range("S65536").End(xlUp).Row
rngD = Range("$Q$1:$S$" & lr4)
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = rngA & "," & rngB & "," & rngC & "," & rngD
But, it fails. I have looked through many topics on this subject, but nothing seems to fit my scenario. This will pretty much complete my current project if I get this figured out and can export these print areas to pdf without a bunch of blank pages as I get now with no print area set.

I transposed them into a separate sheet and used that for my lists. I have to share the file with macs.
My pc is on Vista running Excel 2003. The macs are OSX Panther (not Leopard) and running Excel 2003.
Solution (?): if I make the combobox lists programmatically, it will work on the macs?
The UserForm1 with 3 comboboxes:
The comboboxes are not dependent on each other.
For each combobox, I need to have 2 columns.
For each column, I need to transpose 2 x ranges (they are NOT contiguous)
My attempts have been embarassing and futile.

I am trying to use excel to score a test. I want to tick a cell to do so. There is an excellente information about Tick Cell Upon Selection, posted here http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/excel-checkbox-tick-cell.htm. Its range is limited to (A1:A100)
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A100")) Is Nothing Then
Target.Font.Name = "Marlett"
If Target = vbNullString Then
Target = "a"
Else
Target = vbNullString
End If
End If
End Sub
How can I increase the range so it would target C1:C30, E1:E30 ( total of 17 columns)?.

Can you have more than 1 worksheet change event on the same worksheet, if so, how do you name it to prevent the ambiguous name error. What code would I need to select a text value in colums e11:e15 based on the cell value in cell named STATE and place the selected value in cell e16. I have, thanks to this resource, one worksheet change event that selects a numeric value from any column E3,F3:F7 and places that value in cell C4. but the same code doesn't work for the new worksheet change event.

what is described in the post clear "contents of rows based on cell contents in column" clear contents of rows based on cell contents in column
What is different is that for rows that I wish to leave untouched, I have in column A the text "Active". If that text is not present (""), then I need to clear contents for only certain cells in each row because others have formulas. For example, if A32 does not say "Active" I want to clear contents of cells D:32, G:32, etc while leaving the others in row 32 in tact. I need this to loop through about 400 rows. If it would make the macro easier, I can have the data in column "A" say "Inactive"/"Active" instead of blank/"Active"

In case “yes” is clicked it pastes the data But the problem is that the macro that I have in the report.xls vanishes. The macro I need in the report.xls?

I have been looking at a post number 170404 which NBVC answered with an example grid. This was while I was trying to bring searched data through to another sheet and this is just what I was looking for as a brilliant start,
I have attached my very similar example in my scenario. I have also got NBVC's example on the first two sheets of this as reference. In addition I am also bringing through from-to date ranges which I then need to be applied to a Booking Sheet so I can see that these dates are booked for this person, and ideally where they are going and what they need to do there by colour.
I tried, just as a test in this example the following. Please note that this only had the three ranges as I was testing an example coordinator which returned three date ranges. It could be that the example returns 20 or 30 ranges that need to be applied to the rather primative Booking Sheet.
=IF(OR(AND(C10>='Coordinators list'!F5,'Coordinators list'!L5<=C10),(AND(C10>='Coordinators list'!F6,'Coordinators list'!L6<=C10)),(AND(C10>='Coordinators list'!F7,'Coordinators list'!L7<=C10))),"yes","no")
It seemed to give the right answer initially but trying different dates it gave the wrong result. It seemed to be checking one of the ranges and not all of them. As mentioned above this was just an example to see what I could get working but I don't think that this would be the ideal way of doing this as it would need to check 30-40 maybe more ranges depending on what comes back from the coordinator search.
The aim would be to choose a co-ordinator on the Site Planner sheet and ideally return the city rather than the yes/no in the Booking Sheet for that date and use conditional formatting so that if the type from the Site Planner Sheet was paint it would fill in one colour, clean in another, etc.
Was hopefully trying to get this done without using any VB as I am trying to resolve this for my Wife she isn't very tech savvy and and I need to be able to explain the formulas!
I'm sure you will see from my sheet I have given this a good go but I am a bit unsure on what some of the formulas on NBVC sheet are doing, and that this is my first attempt at doing anything like this. I have also tried using lookup and match but I'm still having issues that they either aren't always in date order and it seems to return no if it doesn't match the first range. The other main issue that I have seen is that I need to check whatever ranges the selection comes back with rather than adding each one to search through.
I hope this becomes a bit clearer on the sheet I have attached,

I have written a VBA procedure which is supposed to hide unneeded columns (based on the a number entered in a certain cell. This is working so far. Since I need to sum only the visible cells in a row i need to clear the contents of a range of cells if they will be hidden. Unfortunately the code i have written runs only to the ClearContents and then starts over from the beginning. If i take out the .clearcontents and put .Select for example instead, the code runs perfectly.
Here is the
Sub worksheet_calculate() 'Hide columns that are not needed
Sheet1. Unprotect
Application. ScreenUpdating = False

Dim r As Integer
Dim s As Integer

I would like to be able to count the amount of entries in column C and depending on the amount group them in either groups of 3 or 4, all names would be unique...so if there are 14 names in the list they would need to be grouped in to two groups of 4 and two groups of 3, if there were 19 then 4 groups of 4 and 1 group of 3 etc to a maximum 50 people, the results could appearon a seperate worksheet say pasted on to the worksheet starting with the groups of 3 (so paste a group of 3 then skip 3 rows then paste groups of 4 skip 2 rows, the row skipping is to allow seperation and manual entry of extra data). There will never be groups of 5 or more and never less than 3

I'm having a problem with a macro clearing a formula in a cell. I have the same type of cell that doesn't have the problem but I can't find the difference between the 2 cells or difference in vb that's making it happen. I have to intentionally cause this to happen but don't see why it's happening. Do I need to attach workbook and describe what's happening? I have been copying and pasting from different sources as well as paying to have it created/started but it was expensive(for me) and I make nothing off of it, just use it at work. I am not proficient in Excel or vb but I'm desperately trying to learn as I go so as not to fork out a few hundred dollars again.
here's atleast the vb for the macros:
VB:
Sub clearclientinfo() '
'
'
'
Sheet5.Select
