Flexibility- Allowing My Macro To Run In A More Global Environment With Varying Data-set Lengths
Aug 27, 2008
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 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.
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'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".
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.
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.
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):
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.
1. Are the Workbook Environment and the VBE environment simply two different forms? Meaning, when I press alt+F11, am I just switching between 2 default forms?
2. Is Excel itself written in VBA? And if it's written in VB or C, which would make more sense, is the GUI side of things written in VBA?
The reason I ask is pretty simple. I really love the way the Workbook environment and the VBE environment are set up. I want to use them as models for my own forms. Both environments seem little more than two very complex forms. And I want to replicate so much about them.
3. But is it possible to replicate anything I see as part of these environments in my own forms?
For instance, what is the VBE Project window? Is it a ListBox? I need to code a form that does something very similar to the way it groups and collapses Projects and their sub-groups like Microsoft Objects, Sheets, ThisWorkbook, etc. I've used grouping to make rows and columns collapsible. But never items in a ListBox... But am I right to assume that I can do so, just because Excel's environment does it? Meaning, can it be assumed that anything I see Excel doing itself, a talented programmer can replicate in forms of his own?
I have one worksheet with four columns of data. Column A is a well name, RA-0001, column B is the measured depth of the well from 0 feet to however far down it goes, anywhere from 4000 to 15000 feet, column C is the inclination of the well, column D is the Azimuth.
I have 500 wells from RA-0001 to RA_0500 or so all in this one worksheet, all the wells have varying Measured Depths associated to their well name. I need to create a macro that can separate the wells and either put them in a new worksheet for each well, ie. a worksheet named RA-0001, RA-0002, ..... ect. OR, and this would be nicer, a macro that can actually save all these individual wells as (Formatted Text (Space Delimited)) files with the associated well name.
Here is an example of what it looks like. The columns do not have a subject line to state what information is in each column because I dont need it in that format.
RA-0001 0 0.00 0.00
RA-0001 100 0.91 5.56
[Code] .......
Even just knowing how to create a simple macro that would take all the data from each well so I could manually copy and save them as new files.
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:
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.
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
How can I have my macro run in its cell and still allow the cell to be blank? Say I have a number, 0.99, in the cell and I want to delete it and leave it blank. I can either push "Backspace" or the delete key and it still leaves zeros.
If I push the space bar it stops the macro (which I do not want to happen) and leaves the cell blank because I added a space.
i have a spreadsheet that data is imported to from a different program. however the amount of rows of data will change from day to day. I need to be able to select this range of data before i run a macro on it.
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 performance extract from a system which has performance for multiple accounts but the data is off different lengths and shown vertically. I wish to move the data onto a new sheet but rotated(transposed) horizontally
Attached is a snapshot of the report that is usually about 20,000 lines. See input and output tabs.
Is there any way that a macro could be created to do this.
I have the following macro so that we can use the outline feature without having to unprotect a sheet.
Private Sub Workbook_Open() With Worksheets("Schedule") .Protect Password:="APQP", Userinterfaceonly:=True[code]....
However once the macro is run, filtering will not work without unprotecting the sheet first. If you choose not to run the macro, filtering will work without unprotecting the sheet however the outline feature will not. what I need to add and where to make both the outline and filter features to work without having to unptotect the sheet?
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
I need to copy cells M6 to S6 down to all rows in a worksheet. The columns will remain M to S. The number of rows however vary in each worksheet.
How do I get the macro to read "End Down" with varying number of rows. I will need to do other functions also using "End Down" so if possible is there a generic code for this.
Assume there's an even number of rows containing textual data.
COL A text1 text2 text3 text4
I would like to compare the lengths of text1 to text2, and return the row containing the greater of the two/delete the row containing the shorter of the two. In either case, the contents below would then have to be shifted up by one. Then repeat for the next 2 rows all the way down to the last row using VBA.
a way to separate out data that has been all entered into a single column
code .....
The above information is a sample of the data. The data has been entered into 1 column, column A.
I want to separate the entries in to 1 column each for vehicle ID, full journal description, actual journal, EE code, Report total and equipment description.
I have a database of names and titles (acutally: #, last name, full name, title, meeting) and at this point I have a column using the following code.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A5:A355")) Is Nothing Then Range("A5:A355").Cells.Clear Target.Font.Name = "Marlett" If Target = vbNullString Then Target = "a" Else Target = vbNullString End If End If End Sub
everything works like I want, except when I use the auto filter, the "a" won't be cleared from cells that are hidden. I need to make sure only one "a" is populated in this column as that's what I'm using with the vlookup function to key the data for my Character Generator.
Maybe I'm not using the best code, I'm new to this and just cobbled together code from a few different places.
Some quick background to what I'm doing, but you may not need it to help. I'm trying to use Excel to populate some cells that will tell our Chyron Character Generator (for those that don't know what that is, it's the device that puts graphics on screen during news programs, etc...) what to put up for lower third titles (and more) for our meetings we cover.
I have created an Excel spreadsheet in 2007. When a friend opens the workbook in Excel 2013, It does not let him add data to the cells. ( just one column which is the "date" column) The worksheet is not locked or protected.
When I right-click on the column and goto format cells, protection, the box is ticked, but the note says this doesn't take effect unless the sheet is protected witch it isnt.
So what I am looking for is to put a macro behind button 1 which will do the following
Enter A Default Value Of 123 In The Yellow Boxes (B7:K7) If They Are Blank When The User Clicks The Button Performs A Search And Replace To Replace The Values 01-01-1990 With B8, 02-01-1990 With C8 Etc Until K8 Output The Contents Of Sheet 2 To A Text File (In XAI Format) In The Following Order A1:A100, B1:B100, C1:C100
I have a one column spreadsheet. The column contains this data:
1 Name 2 Address 3 City 4 State 5 Zip 6 Telephone 7 Fax 8 URL 9 10 11 Name 12 Address 13 City 14 State 15 Zip 16 Phone 17 URL 18 19 Name 20 Address ... and so on
Where there may be one or two blank rows between the individual records and where there may or may not be a Fax number (or row) in the record.
I am trying to convert this data to a horizontal column format - which works fine if I do a copy/paste special/transpose. However I have to do this for 1,800 records and cannot figure out how to do this reliably.
I gave the above illustration to simplify but, actually this is a two column spreadsheet with individual row labels for every record using the above terminology. In other words the above text is in the first column and the data is in the second. Just thought I'd mention in case there was a way to do some kind of if/then formula.
