Combining An Unknown Number Of Cells Into One
Nov 4, 2009
I have the following setup,
Down column A I have a list of jobs, job 1 , job 2 etc
Down column b I have either a blank cell or other data (will be numbers but is irrelevant)
What I want is a formula for a cell that tells me which titles in column A have any data at all in column b. I need it to look like the following : Job 1, Job 2, Job 4
assuming b1 b2 and b4 have any contents and b3 and b5 and onwards are empty
I am seeing that concentate gives me close to what I want but the number of rows in column a and b change constantly and also may be above 30

I am trying to find a way to combine two worksheets with identical columns and an unknown number of rows. Both sheets use columns A through K.
I want to add a new sheet called "Combined orders", then copy data and headers from Sheet1, paste it to Combined orders, copy data only from Sheet2, and paste it on the row after the last row of data from Sheet1.
Sounds easy but I am easily confused by the unknown number of rows in each data set. Can someone please help?
Also, are there a few lines of code that I can copy and paste into new macros that will make the unknown rows problem easier for me in the future? (i.e., instead of just showing me the code, can you also please explain the concept behind it so I can learn for future reference?)

I am trying to come up with a macro that selects values from one sheet and inserts them into another sheet. The number of values will change each time based on the user's entry, as well as the number of times that each entry should be pasted.
For example:
Entry: X | Y | Z
Number of Times to be Inserted to New Sheet 3 | 2 | 1
Result:
X X X Y Y Z
I have spent a while trying to figure it out, however the best I can come up with is using an array, but I can only get one value from the array to paste multiple times:
(*Note: In my testing, I didn't insert into new sheet or set up the array to handle different values, I was just trying to get the basic idea to work)
Dim A(1, 3) As Variant
A(1, 1) = Range("C3").Value
A(1, 2) = Range("D3").Value
A(1, 3) = Range("E3").Value
[Code].....

I want to write a formula/script that searches file names in Column "A" for an item number located in Column "B", then combines all file names containing that item number into Column "C" with comma separations. Each item number will have a different number of file names associated with it (between 1 and 10 files), and there are about 2000 different item numbers being crossed with about 7000 file names.
Here is an example completed with a CONCATENATE formula:
File Name

The colours are just to mark the ranges
As every month is different the number of sheets adding up to the Red sheets(week total)
will change and the same with the Blue sheet(month end total)
Is there a code I can run for this summing up to be done?
Yellow is where data is entered
Red is where the Yellows range sheets need to add up before it
The Blue is where all the Red range sheets need to add up

I've been working on a spreadsheet and these forums have been a great help. I'm now at the very last section and, surprise surprise, it's also the hardest!
I'm creating a stock trade recording sheet. I have a userform ask the user to enter a date, a time, the number of stock purchased, and the price of the stock. These are then entered in a new row.
Now what I want to do is have summary cells which say how many stocks were purchased and the total profit made for each day. Since each time is given its own row, I can't know in advance which rows to sum over. I also don't know on which days a trade was made. So a summary cell should only exist if a trade was made that day.
Could I do something like.... check if the date matches then sum over all the values for that date? So if column A has the dates, can I say "Search which rows in column A have this date" then "for those rows, sum column C"?
Also, how would I create a a row for each traded date's summary cell and enter the date in it? I've attached a spreadsheets which manually demonstrates what I want to do (no macros) and a spreadsheet with what I have so far (basic macros).
Any and all help much appreciated, I just need to get my head around creating and dealing with variable ranges. Is that a really advanced task? I don't think this is a one line solution so please bear with me while I make mistakes!

I need to put a value on every line having "file:" in the second column. The value requested is a sum of the numbers in the forth column following this line until the next "file:" line.
I know it is not trivial, but sure it is possible.

I am working with 2 workbooks the first one "LH Enrollment" is used to enter information for new students being enrolled in the program. After the information is entered the macro is then copying the information to the second workbook "LH Children Records". The part I'm stuck on is that I now need to sort alphabetically by last name which is entered on Sheet 1, Column B of "LH Children Records". The number of columns will stay the same but the number of rows will change each time a new child is added. Eventually all this information gets copied over to several other workbooks, but I'm stuck trying to sort. I have attached both workbooks

I have a macro set up to copy and paste data from worksheets into worksheet 1. But the number of worksheets often changes. Is there a way to write this to include all worksheets even if the number changes?
Windows("0285 WORKING FILE 0406.XLS").Activate
Sheets(3).Select
Application.Goto Reference:="R500C33"
Range("A9:AG500").Select
Range("AG500").Activate
Selection.Copy
Sheets(1).Select
Application.Goto Reference:="R501C1"
ActiveSheet.Paste
Sheets(2).Select
Application.Goto Reference:="R500C33"
Range("A9:AG500").Select
Range("AG500").Activate
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Sheets(1).Select
Application.Goto Reference:="R1001C1"
ActiveSheet.Paste
Sometimes I will receive this file and there will be additional tabs. I just never know how many.
I copy down 500 rows knowing there will never be more data than that. And for each worksheet I paste to sheet 1 I add 500 rows to not paste over other data.
I would like the computer to read it as "select last indexed worksheet, copy paste to index 1, repeat while selecting the left adjacent worksheet until you reach index 1.
For each new worksheet selected add 500 rows to the last pasted amount."

I am trying to average a range which continually changes depending on the amount of registries entered in a given week. for example, one week there may be 5 registries which would fill five columns while another week there may be 15 registries, once again filling 15 columns. I would like to find the average of x amount of columns.
My initial approach was to select the first blank cell to the right of the data and then find the last filled cell (which should be the first column of data.
with this range i tried hopelessly to use the average function (did not work):
Sub averagemake()
Dim iLastColumn As Integer
Dim Rng As Range
Sheets("All Data(Values)").Select
Range("A6").Select
Cells.Find(What:="", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
iLastColumn = Cells(6, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=AVERAGE(RC[-iLastColumn]:RC[-1])"
End Sub

have a function that takes an unknown number of ranges (worksheet cells) as arguments that can then be joined with the provided delimiter.
It should ignore null values.
I saw that someone posted the following line of code:
Replace(WorksheetFunction.Trim(Join(myArray)), " ", ",")
So I guess my real question is how to pass an unknown number of arguments into a function and put the values in an array.

In the code below, a formula is placed in column F to compute the total of that column. I first find the number of rows and place the formula in the cell below it. I'm dividing the sum by 2 since there are subtotals in the column.
Sub AddColumn()
Dim NumRows As Long
NumRows = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row 'get the row count
NumRows = NumRows + 1
Worksheets("Report").Cells(NumRows, "F").Value = "=SUM(F9:F308) / 2"
End Sub
The problem with the code is that I don't really know that the last row in the column is F308. I need to replace that part with a variable. It will be something like this (which I know is incorrect):
Worksheets("Report").Cells(NumRows, "F").Value = "=SUM(F9:NumRows) / 2"
How would I use a variable in the SUM function in place of the cell names? Should I even be placing the formula in a cell, or should I compute the sum in the macro and place the value in the cell?

Name Address Phone # zip
Danielle 4561
Danielle 9852
Danielle 22
Danielle 69
Joe 895
Joe 28
John 9821
John 1114
John 698
Say I did a search for Joe. I want to report back all the addresses in which he resided but there's no way to tell how many rows of data each person has. Joe has 2 rows, Danielle has 4 rows and John has three. How do I report back all the relevant rows?

i have a list of countries in a column and have to go through this column ensuring they are in the correct format. I'm struggling to figure out how to iterate through each row of the column, test it's value and then change if necessary...
for example
column a --> column A(modified)
Usa --> USA
Ukraine - Mobile (Umc) --> Ukraine - Mobile (UMC)
Uk --> UK
Uruguay --> Uruguay
so values in column a becomes like those shown above.

I'm working to build a macro to help clean up data I download out of our company's online resources. I know that the data will run from column A to N but the number of items (and thus number of rows)will change. I need to sort all used rows except for the last one (which containes totals and I don't want to include in my sort). So right now I'm just trying to figure out how to select from A3:NX, where x is the row above the last used row.
What I've managed to find so far on the forums is
Offset("$A$3", 0, 0, (Match(9.99999999999999E+307, "N:N", 1) - 1), 14).Select
which I think should find the last row in N to have a number in it, minus 1. However I'm getting a compile error that function or sub are not defined. (seemingly refering to the Match, but I'm not sure).

I know a simple formula would 'almost' do what i want...but i was hoping for a simple feature....
i have several text cells that i want to combine into one cell.....
so a formula like =A1&B1&C1.... would work fine....but is there anyway to present this data a little fancier? for example separating each cell entry after a "break" or something....

I am trying to combine multiple cells into 1 cell per row.
I would have "A" column empty, then combine "B", "C", and on into the "A" column.
Each cell value will be separated by a space or any special character I designate in the macro
I have attached an example which the output is separated by a space. Sheet1 has the original file and Sheet2 has the desired output.

C 2012@101.0
C 2013
C 2013
C 2014@101.0
I need to combine the day and month only in column A with the year (in positions 3-6) in column B
As an example I have "11/1/2015" in column A and "C 2010@101.0" in column B. The desired result in column C is "11/1/2010".
I have tried using the left function in column A with the mid function in column B but haven't had any luck so far.

I have the below data that I need to concatenate, merge... I'm not sure.
The data looks like this currently:
So that it reads in one sentence, e.g. Northumberland; Newcastle; North Tyneside; South Tyneside (note - no "." or ";" at the end of the string).
I had come up with this formula -
=IF(A11>0,A11&"; ","")&IF(B11>0,B11&"; ","")&IF(C11>0,C11&"; ","")&IF(D11>0,D11&"; ","")&IF(E11>0,E11&"; ","")&IF(F11>0,F11&"; ","")&IF(G11>0,G11&"; ","")&IF(H11>0,H11&"; ","")&IF(I11>0,I11&"; ","")&IF(J11>0,J11&"; ","")&IF(K11>0,K11&"; ","")&IF(L11>0,L11&"; ","")&IF(M11>0,M11&"; ","")&IF(N11>0,N11&"; ","")&IF(O11>0,C11&"","")
Which works fine if there is a value in cell O, but if not, then a semi-colon appears at the end of the string. It also seems incredibly clunky.
Basically, I'm struggling (being a total n00b) to get the semi-colons in the right place, blank cells to be skipped or not included, and for there to be no semi-colon after the last value.

I currently have a column with each cell containing alphanumeric data of a filename.
The majority of cell data looks something like this.
"AB_XYZ_0408_00700.doc"
"AB_XYZ_0408_00708.doc"
"AB_XYZ_0408_02200.doc" etc
**Note the numbers "00700" are always 5 digits long also note the extension is always ".doc" (4 characters long). However the other parts, AB_XYZ etc vary in length based on the worksheet.
I need to ADD or Subtract "+1" or "-1" from the 5 digit number for example make "00700, into 00701"
I currently tried to separate the data into columns which provides me with the number 00700 isolated in its own cell and then I simply add or subtract 1. In that isolated cell I am able to add "leading zeroes" and it works great.
The Problem is that when I combine the separated cell data "=A1&B &C1" with the New number (in this case 00701") the problem that I run into is the leading zeroes do not follow over to the combined cell and I am left with a final filename like this "AB_XYZ_0408_701.doc" - That is missing the leading zeroes.
Also if you have a more advanced formula that could simply add and subtract "1" from the 5 digit number that would be ideal.
