Copying Contents Of Columns Of Varying Lengths
Feb 7, 2007
I export data from another programme into excel and I wish to write a macro to copy the contents of columns G, H, I and J and paste it into columns A, B, C, D but starting at row 4. I then carry out various formatting tasks. I have written a macro that works for the copy and paste and the formatting but it only works when the data is the same length. The length of the data exported varies each time and so I am looking for some code that stops at a blank cell and copies the range above. I believe this uses xlup or xldown.

I have a worksheet (downloaded from Paypal) and the columns I need to sum are of varying length (sometimes 12 rows and maybe 200). I am having trouble finding a way to find the end plus one of the column to write the formula in.

I am half way through writing a bigger macro, but am stuck at this stage.
I need to copy from a block of data as shown:
However, this column varies in length each time, and I only want to copy down to where the entries stop.
I also only want to copy W1:X6, and columns Y, AA, AB, AD (but only down to the end of the column)
I've tried using the End(xlDown)).Copy function, but obviously this doesn't work with the block up the top and the gap between the block and the columns

My data is as follows, all in one cell:
10015200 US Government Bonds 18,369,423.52
10012301 US Government Bonds 10,232.21
There are many varying lengths of digits. I am trying split off the numbers
to the right of US Government Bonds into another column. Here is my
formula:
=RIGHT(A7,IF(ISERROR(FIND(" ",A7)),LEN(A7),FIND(" ",A7)))
My result is 9,423.52. Its not pulling the whole number.
What do I need to change in the formula?

I am trying to do a VLOOKUP using a list based on our Part numbers in Excel 2007. When I do a normal sort it groups the numbers 1 thru 9 by the number of digits, giving me multiple list of 1 thru 9. When I do my lookup it will not find the shorter numbers. Is there some way to sort these Part numbers in order regardless of the number of digits?

I have a column of data that contains suburb, state and postcode (zip code). I can extract the postcode quite easily using:
=RIGHT(H2,4)
However, sometimes there is one word for the suburb, and other times there are two or more words. Also, the state abbreviation contains either two or three letters:
MARYBOROUGH QLD 4650
BRAY PARK QLD 4500
TEA TREE GULLY SA 5091
Does anyone know of any code I could use to extract the three pieces of information into three new columns? (I.e. Suburb, State, Postcode)
I imagine the formula would contain some method of counting the number of paces; however, the number of spaces between each word may be more than one space.

I paste in information in Columns A-E with varying lengths for each report that I need to generate (They generally range anywhere from 10-500 rows). I have formulas already in place in the first row of Columns F-L that need to be copied down as far as columns A-E go. I recorded a macro for this when I try to run the macro for another report with more or less row entries it copies down as far as the original recording was set. How do I make it so the rows will copy down just as many as I need and not some arbitrary number of rows? This is my first post so if any clarification is needed that's no problem.

Goal: To extract the barcode (numbers and letters between B/C: and , P/G) from the following string:
"Codec B/C: A01234567, P/G: 123456728912345"
Current Function: =MID(A1,(FIND("B/C:",A1)+5),(FIND("P/G:",A1)-14))
Problem: I need this function to work for barcodes of varying lengths. For example, in some cases the barcode may be 8 characters long and at other times the barcode will be 14 characters long etc.Below is a screenshot of how I have this currently set up in excel.

I have figured out certain formulas that can get me pieces of the text substring, I am having difficulty finding an all in one solution that will allow me to run a macro and automate this process due to the nature of variability of the # of characters in the text string. The category and what I need to extract is as follows (Michigan Missing Zips roll up I can deal with):
MWR - Illinois - HORIZONTAL LATHES
MWR - Illinois
MWR - Illinois - MACHINING CENTERS - HORIZONTAL & OTHER
MWR - Illinois
MWR - Illinois - MACHINING CENTERS - VERTICAL
MWR - Illinois

I've reached a point in this macro where I'm stuck with NO clue how to achieve this, or even whether it can be done. In the Before sheet below, I need to bold the cells in H & I if the word "Total" is in G. I could probably manage that part, but here's the weird part: I need to add a formula to H & I of each row with "Total" in G to sum the numbers above it, from the previous total down to the current total. But there's no telling how long each range might be on a given report; from 1 row up to 8 rows.
THEN, in the second row below the end of columns H & I, I need to put a formula totalling all of the preceding Totals
I wonder if there might be a way to tell it to put a formula in H by each cell that has "Total" in G, with the formula summing or subtotalling everything from the cell in H that has data in F to the cell just above the "Total".

I'm having difficulty allowing my macro to run in a more global environment with varying data-set lengths.
For example:
Though the following "copy" scenario works for me when my data set is contained within cells B2:B35:
Range("A2:A35").Select
Selection.Copy
It does not allow me to work with a set of data that extends beyond this--say to B50 or B60. Is there any way to allow this command, and others, to be a bit more flexible with my data set lengths?

I have three columns, one column is time every two seconds with data associated that time, and one is time every minute with an associated tidal height.
I want to sort my data so that for every 2 seconds I have an associated tidal height for that minute.
eg:
what I have:
Time Time Tidal Height
(2 sec intervals) (min) (meters)
1:15:00 1:15 1.342
1:15:02 1:16 1.221
1:15:04 1:17 1.115
...
1:15:58 1:43 0.024
1:15:60 1:44 0.012
1:16:00 1:45 0.008 ....................

Say I am downloading a column of stock prices and it cannot be predicted precisely how many rows will be contained in each downloaded column.
The column is, however, always Column E.
Two formulas must be computed.
1) Last row with a price in column E / average (all rows, beginning with row 2 with prices in column E)
2) Last row with a price in column E / average (last 50 rows with prices in column E)
Can Excel manage the variable number of rows required for these formula, and if so, can somebody recommend how to write these formulae?

I am attempting to have cells in Column 'U' deliver different drop-down menus based on the corresponding value in column 'D'. I have created 7 named lists:
List_117G
List_152
List_JMET
List_XBAND
List_PACWIND
List_VORTEX
List_ROVER
Those lists will be called up based on 7 values in column “D”:
“G”
“152”
“J”
“X”
“D/E”
“V”
“R”
So far I have only been able to get this to work for the first category “G”. When I change the value of column “D” from “G” to “152” I no longer get a drop-down. Here is the formula I am using in the List function of validation.
=IF(D6="G",List_117G,IF(D6="152",List_152,IF(D6="J",List_JMET,IF(D6="X",List_XBAND,
IF(D6="D/E",List_PACWIND,IF(D6="V",List_VORTEX,IF(D6="R",List_ROVER,)))))))

There are 11,000 rows and 4,000 are unique. The goal is to merge the data down to the 4,000 records. Each of the unique entries shows up 1 to 15 times.
In trying to solve this, I wonder if I should break this down into the different # of occurances and implement specific solutions. e.g., There are
5700 entries that show up 2x
504 that show up 3x
24 that show up 12x

I want to call a macro with a varying name that is within a module with the same name.
I have a module called Test1 and within this, a macro name called test1
I have a module called Test2 and within this, a macro name called test2
etc
On another module called Test8 (with the macro called Test8), this Test8 macro will call either Test1 or Test2 or Test3 etc depending on what I choose in an excel spreadsheet. So on sheet1, cell A1, there is a drop down with the options Test1 or Test2 or Test3 etc.
The following works to run the macro test1 from module test1 (when it does not vary i.e. i physically put in the name of the macro myself):
Sub Test3()
Test1.Test1
End Sub
The following works to run the macro test2 from module test2 (when it does not vary i.e. i physically put in the name of the macro myself):
Sub Test3()
Test2.Test2
End Sub
etc
However, if I try it so that the calling of the macro varies as below , it does not work:
Sub Test3()
MacroToCall = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
MacroToCall.MacroToCall
End Sub

I have a column of data where the seperate entities are divided by blank rows. for example: i need to calculate sum(G3:G15) then skip the blank row (G16) and calculate the next group, say sum(G17:G50) and export that import to a new worksheet.
The issue is that the column lengths vary from day to day so the blank rows will not be in the same position.

I have a sheet where I want the contents of row G (where it has contents) to copy itself to the corresponding row in column A until the code has gone right through column G. The first such item is in row 1383 column G and occurs randomly down the rest of the spreadsheet. I've tried writing this but it doesn't do anything.
Here is the code:
Sub Loop1()
Application.Goto Reference:="R1383C1"
Do
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=(RC[6])"
Selection.Copy

I have dollar amounts that I need to distribute amongst varying numbers of columns and not have have the total distributed be over or under the original amount by any number of cents. When I simply divide the dollar amount by the number of columns, the total of those columns can sometimes be more or less than the original dollar amount by a few cents.
e.g.
Dollar # of A B C All Columns
Amount Columns Total
--------------------------------------------------------------------
$25.05 2 $12.53 $12.53 $25.06
$11.47 3 $ 3.82 $ 3.82 $ 3.82 $11.46
$25.05 divided into 2 columns gives $12.53 in Column A and $12.53 in Column B. Total of Columns A and B is $25.06. Over by a penny.
$11.47 divided into 3 columns gives $3.82 in Columns A through C. Total of Columns A through C is $41.46. Under by a penny.
I know I could simply always add or take away the pennies from one column, but I would prefer the process to be random or formulated in such a way that the Column to which the extra pennies are added to or taken away from differs in order to be "fair to each column".

Have a cell (G6) that contains the following formula, which looks up the cell adjacent to it (H6):
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($H$6,Customers,2,0)),"",VLOOKUP($H$6,Customers,2,0))
I want to copy this formula to hundreds of cells below the first cell, with a formula that increments as follows:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($H$7,Customers,2,0)),"",VLOOKUP($H$7,Customers,2,0))
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($H$8,Customers,2,0)),"",VLOOKUP($H$8,Customers,2,0))
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($H$9,Customers,2,0)),"",VLOOKUP($H$9,Customers,2,0))
....etc.
Is there a way to copy this formula, and have it increment as shown?

I'm sure there is an easier way than copying and pasting each individual cell from one spreadsheet to another. Is there a way I can define a batch of cells (city, state, phone #) and copy them into the other spreadsheet so I don't have to do each cell individually?
Here is a picture to show what exactly I am trying to do.

Also, the cells that belong in the same column and row on one spreadsheet are equal distance from each other throughout the other spreadsheet that has all the info in 1 column.

I am using Excel 2007, here's my question:
I just wrote two macros that each produce separate text files (call them 'A' and 'B'). I want to open 'B' with Excel VBA, copy all of its contents, and paste that content into 'A' right after a specific location in 'A' (where I have 10 consecutive asterisks, i.e., **********).
Most topics relating to Excel VBA and .txt files have to do with either importing / exporting into Excel (not what I want), or with associating .txt files to Excel (also not what I want).

I've been given the task of automating a spreadsheet to assess whether work has been done by each employee. Every employee has their own spreadsheet, where column A is a job code, and column H contains either y or n dentoting whether they have completed the task (y) or not (n).
The main spreadsheet is designed to show any outstadning tasks across everybody so it has a list of everybodies names in column A and then any incomplete tasks will be listed from columns b onwards next to the appropriate person. Here is what I have done at the moment.

I have a macro that does the following.
-Every time a cell in Column D contains New or Old, Customer is entered into Column G in the same row.
-Every time a cell in Column D contains Old2, Assets is entered into Column G in the same row.
-Every time a cell in Column D contains New2, ShortTerm is entered into Column G in the same row.
-Every time a cell in Column D contains Old3, LongTerm is entered into Column G in the same row.

I am trying to get result in a column based on contents of previous 4 columns. For example as per table below, if there is value 1 in either of first 4 columns of same row, I want to display A in column 5. As first 4 columns in row 2 to 4 contains 1, result is A. If there is any 2 in first 4 columns, I want to display B. If there are both 1 and 2 in any first 4 columns, I want to display C. If there is 3 in any of first 4 columns, I want to display D. And if all 1, 2 and 3 are in any of first 4 columns, I want to display E.
