Extract First Data From One Column When Adjacent Cell Is Empty?

I have two columns,
Name

I want to extract first data from column Name where in the data corresponding to it in Column Marks is blank, and if that is filled, i want the next data to be shown automatically
I am writing a macro that will format my table automatically. My table will start with 3 columns all containing data on a 1 to 1 relationship (I.e. there are no empty cells until the end of the file). Initially these are columns "A", "B", and "C" but they shift to columns "B", "C", and "D" during execution of this macro. However, my macro formats the table with seven addtional column headings which will eventually contain data though I need to format them prior to populating them. I know my column range is always going to be ("A:J") but my row range will vary on a weekly basis. That being the case, I need to know how to format the cells in these empty columns up to the number of rows containing data in the existing populated columns. For exapmle I would like the macro to format the table in the following way:
1. Insert new column "A" preserving the data in the existing column "A" shifting it to cloumn "B" and set Cell "A1"'s value = "#" --> I have already coded this portion.
2. Set Cell "A2"'s value = 1 --> I have already coded this portion.
3. Set Cells ("A1:J1")'s values = to desried column header title modifying the three pre-existing column headers while aligning the data to center --> I have already coded this portion.
4. Set all column headers to bold 10pt font and shade the headers row ("A1:J1")--> I have already coded this portion.
5. Set pre defined column widths for columns "A:J". --> I have already coded this portion.............
I have a worksheet on which the data is already grouped. At the top of each group is a row that contains only the group name. Since the rest of that row is blank, I want to use a blank cell on that row as a reference, then copy the group name to a newly created column, then fill that column down to the next group.
The goal is to create a column that contains the group name, rather than just having the group name as a " header" at the top of each group.
I have a substantial schedule that has been completed by a 3rd party who has used the comment function for important data. Can anyone suggest how i can utilise a macro to extract all of the comments into the adjacent column?
The comments are currently against cells in column E and i'd like to extract them to blank cells in a newly inserted column F.
I am looking for a formula to number rows in A1:A500 I would like to skip a row when B1:B500 cells are empty then skip that row and start renumbering from 1 This is what I tried so far =If(b9>"", countif($B$9:$B9,">"""),"")
I would like a macro that when run, finds empty cells in a column within the used range and fills them with the same formula in the other cells in the same column but relative to the row.
I have a basic understanding of VBA so if someone can set me on the right track i'll have a go myself as i appreciate this would take a while to write out from scratch.
I am looking for advice on how to move cells containing data (columns D to K in EXAMPLE A), upwards so that the information lines up with data already existing in columns A to C (to be included as part of an overall VBA routine).
In the upper example data in cell D2 needs to move upto D1, E3 to E1, F4 to F1, G7 to G1 etc and K9 to K1. Now, data on following rows is to move upto row 2 eg: E5 to E2, F6 to F2, G8 to G2.
The first 'block' of data starts at row 1 and finishes in this case at row 9. The next 'block' of data starts at row 10 and finishes at row 18. Row 19 shown is the start of the next 'block'. These 'blocks' may have upto 20 rows ....
I need a macro that will examine column A starting at A2 and working its way down copying the data in the first cell (A2) and then delete that row. If the next cells are empty (usually the next 5 cells) it should paste this copied value in each of the empty cells until it comes to the next cell with data in it. At this point it should copy this next value and delete the subsequent row and copy this value in each of the empty cells directly following (again, usually 5) until it finds the next cell that has data in it. At this point, again the whole process begins again repeating it self until it comes to the end where no more data is.
I have rather large Excel file that spans around 245 columns & has multiple users responsible for certain columns. Columns are chunked to provide data about a specific group. Every 72 hours, I need to provide to managers what’s currently on this file in a specific summary format.
I’ve recorded a macro that gets me half way there. Here’s where I’m clueless. After my macro deletes unnecessary columns, what remains are the columns for “Main Data” group + each of the 5 “Business” groups (Investors, Lawyers, Credit, Finance, and Support) which would have identical column headings.
(1) Name (2) Address (3) ID# (4) Control#
Furthermore, for each of the 5 “Business” groups, there are 9 slots (ie- a user can enter up to 9 unique entries for a particular group.)
Example- The Investor group contains 9 slots. Each slot will contain the 4 columns mentioned above. So there are 46 slots in total – 1 for Main Data, 45 (5 groups x 9 slots) for Business groups.
MY PROBLEM: I need a macro to now cut & paste all data from each of the 45 Business groups slots & then paste at the bottom of the MAIN DATA slot.
The final file would be 4 columns (as listed above) wide. Data from each of the 45 business group slots would be one below the other- all of it underneath the data in the Main Data group.
I attempted to record a macro where I’m copying a section’s data range starting from row2 to row4000 (I know there will never be 4000 entries. I did this just to ensure that all future data would be captured) then pasting that after the last entry in the Main Data.
Example- I’d copy data from Investor1 slot(starting at column E2-H2) & go about 4000 rows down. Then I’d press CTRL+Down Arrow key in column A & then click the down arrow one time to take me into 1st empty cell where I would paste my copied data. I was going to repeat this process for the remaining 44 slots.
I’ve added some extra entries to test the macro & the problem is that the recorded macro is pasting data in specific cell location in column A instead for looking for the 1st empty cell in column A & then pasting the copied data.
So far I've gone thought the net & tried to paste in a few VBA posts/tips that I thought would work. Here's what I have so far from tinkering around. I need someone to tell me what to replace the xxxxxxx line with. This would be the language to tell Excel to paste copied data range into the first blank cell in column A.

Sub transposedata() Sheets("ConsolidatedYTDReport").Select Range("E2:H4202").Select Selection.Copy XXXXXXXXXXXX ActiveSheet.Paste End Sub
How to do this or if there's even a formula or even a macro i could run to run this data.
I have three rows of data (29-31) from columns D to Q.
I would like to take D29 and add each of the values in the adjacent columns exactly once and sum up the value D thru Q
For example I'd like to return not just Sum(D29:Q29) but also Sum(D29:R29)+Q30, Sum (D29:R29) +Q31.
I guess that might be considered a 1X3 matrix & and 8X3 matrix, but I'm not really sure how to set up the return values for these equations nor how to return them very quickly.
In column A, I have unit numbers. Column B is blank. I need help copying the unit number in Column A down in Column B until a new unit number appears in column A. For example, in A6 is unit LS2, A12 is unit LS24, A17 is unit LS34. I would like to be able to copy A6 into B6:B11, A12 into B12:B16, and A17 into B17:B22, etc.
I have the code to copy A6 in to B6 and down, but I don't know how to make it stop at A12. Attached is also an example.
I'm trying to write a program for work. One sheet (whereiseverything.xls) will have a list of parts column E and where it is in the process column (k). Column E of this sheet will have multiple part numbers. (Sometimes duplicated.) I would like to figure out how to write a code to Auto filter (whereiseverything.xls) sheet and copy only one P/N from (whereiseverything.xls) column E onto another Workbook Worksheet (Commit status.xls) column. After that the sheet must copy all of the locations of that P/N from whereiseverything.xls column K into and under the P/N of the Commitstatus.xls.
It will continue to autofilter and copy from where is everything, the "one" p/n and all of its locations into another empty column of Commitstatus.xls until it no longer has part numbers to autofilter on whereiseverything. I am extremely green on VBA programming but here is my first attempt.
Windows("Where is everything commits .xls").Activate Windows("whereiseverything[1].xxx").Activate Columns("D:D").Select Selection.AutoFilter Windows("Where is everything commits .xls").Activate
Windows("whereiseverything[1].xxx").Activate Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="7516113-905" \<--this Is one p/n Columns("J:J").Select Selection.Copy....................................
Column A Column B Column C Column D (blank) Purchase Orders Shipments # Shipment Reference Field 12345 1ZX123 xxOO12346 12346 1ZC345 KJH12347--45 12347 1Z7YYT 0000012345XXX
I'm trying to write a formula for column A that essentially looks at the field in column B, finds the instance of the data anywhere in the entirety of Column D, and when it locates it puts the corresponding field from Column C of that line in the results of column A. So the result above would turn out like this:
Column A Column B Column C Column D (blank) Purchase Orders Shipments # ShipmentReferenceField 1Z7YYT 12345 1ZX123 xxOO12346 1ZX123 12346 1ZC345 KJH12347--45 1ZC345 12347 1Z7YYT 0000012345XXX
I have the origins of a formula here...but I don't know how to put in the part where i'm retrieving the data from Column C of the same line as the target data.
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 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 have a drop down list in a merged cell B12-F12 and B13-F13 and B14-F14 . . . B30-F30.
I need the adjacent merged cell to populate a reason (text) based on the text answer in the drop down list or the entered text in the first merged cell. For example in the cell B12-F12 the user picks from the list or types in "Amiodarone." I want the adjacent merged cell G12-J12to automatically fill with "Heart Rhythm." I also want to be able to set up multiple if - them statements like if Amiodarone is entered then fill adjacent cell with Heart Rhythm and if Toprol XL then fill adjacent cell with Heart / Blood pressure and if simvastatin then fill adjacent cell with Cholesterol, etc. I have about 30 different options for cell 1 that I want to have auto fill in cell 2 based on the contents of cell 1. I've attached my file.
I want the user to be able to choose from the list or type the drug name in.
I need to find and match patterns of strings in a column and fetch data from the adjacent column. I've attached a sample workbook with my sample data.
How can I find the appropriate matching pattern and fetch and fill data from the adjacent column from my source table to destination? I tried the string functions available and used SEARCH function to match the pattern and check whether it is available. However, when the pattern is found, how can I fetch the adjacent column ?
My attempt to code a formula using SUBSTITUTE, MID and SEARCH functions. Below is the monster formula I wrote - it works and returns 1 when the pattern is found.
Formula:
I need to return the matching pattern that is found. And with it the corresponding adjacent cell's value.
I'd like a macro that cycles down 50000 rows of column B. If it comes across a blank cell it will import the value from its adjacent cell in column A. then the macro will move onto the next cell.
I need to create a repeatable macro/module to help me prepare a spreadsheet for import into Microsoft Access. In each row of the spreadsheet is various information including Order Number, Model, and Serial Number. The problem lies in the Serial Number column, which often contains several Serial Numbers delimited by commas. In order to serve my needs in Access, each Serial Number instance needs to become a new row ( record) wherein all of the information (except for the Serial Number) is the same. It is crucially important that all of the serial numbers are in the same column. (I tried using text to columns as a starting-off point, but seemed to dead end).
I need to return the values in Column A IF any of the adjacent cells (columns) contain a number.

I cannot use VBA, Advanced Filter or a Helper column, but I could use one additional cell to hold a count, so, the solution can only be a formula.
I have a spreadsheet with a column A of dates April 08, May 08, June 08 etc. Adjacent to each of these dates is a value in column B. I want to select the appropriate value relevent to the current date and use it elsewhere. Therefore if it happens to be Oct 08 when I open the spreadsheet I want the value in column B, adjacent to Oct 08 to be represented.
I am limiting choices in a certain cell to a list via data validation (using data validation, allow - list and pointing to the source). I want to limit the next set of choices in the next column (in this example in Column C) for the user based on the choice made in the adjoining cell. For example to keep it simple I will use the following: if the user selected "Fruit" in B1, then the options in C1 would only show "Oranges","Apples", "Pears". If however the user selected "Veg" it would only show "Cucumber", "Lettuce", "Spinach", "Radishes" in the drop down in column C. I can put a prefix in front of the column C data validation list if that is needed to narrow down e.g. FR-oranges, FR-apples etc.
A B C 1 Fruit Oranges 2 Veg Lettuce 3
Data Validation source for Column B (H2:H4) Fruit Veg Nuts
Data Validation for Column C: (I2:I10) Oranges Apples Pears Cucumber Lettuce Spinach Radishes Almonds Peanuts
This should be simple but this is not working like I want it too. It should change the value in the cell adjacent to the cell in column B if the value of the cell in column B = "X".
Dim Well As Range For Each Well In Range("B:B") If Well.Value = "A2" Then Cells(Well, Well - 1).Value = "SamplePlate2" Next Well
1.I've watched tutorials on youtube but the data entry was on the next row. I want that my data entry to input data on the next blank column. I'm having problem with the code to use
2. And i hope that there's a way that the P.O. number will arrange in ascending order.
Example : The last P.O. number was 005 then i've realize that I've missed P.O. number 003. And I want to input P.O. number 003 and it will be arrange.
One has numbers the other has "YES" or is blank. I want a formula to look at the second column and where there is a "Yes" then count the number in the same row in the first column.
I need to do this in Excel: - to extract non-empty cells
source range [blank] [blank] Peter [blank] Mary
target range Peter Mary [blank] [blank] [blank]
(1D, length of source can vary, [blank] cells can be present/absent, horiz/vertical) I'd like to achieve the above using built-in Excel functions, with or without sorting.
