How To Remove Ws Create/delete Residue From A Wb
May 28, 2008
My first VBA project continues, and what I thought would be a short-term diversion is becoming a career.
I have a couple of places where a worksheet needs to be built from scratch. I thought I was being a good programmer by deleting the sheet and creating a fresh new one each time (Worksheet.Delete and Worksheets.Add). Not.
I just happened to run across a post that referred to "residue" that's left in the workbook when you delete a worksheet. Thanks, mikerickson. I noticed the workbook size increasing, and it seemed to be increasing too much for the code and controls that I was adding as I developed this thing, but then that's Microsoft for ya.
My workbook is now at 400KB and I don't even have much data in it yet. If it exceeds 500KB, I have to upgrade a free Web hosting account to a paid account (max file size is 500KB for the free account).
Therefore, in addition to wanting to be a good programmer, and wanting to save disk space, bandwidth, and download time, I also have a financial interest in removing all that "residue". Emptying my recycle bin, you might say, except that I can't recycle this particular trash. That's now #1 on my to-do list.

I copy and paste large amounts of data using macros. Excel leaves some kind of trace, placeholder or something in the cells that are blank on the original sheet. So all my math calculations are messed up on the destination sheet.
Using GoTo special blanks does not work to select these cells in mass. I know how to loop through all the cells one at a time and check to see if they are "" or have a length of zero and clear them, but these methods take forever.

I need to create a formula that will remove / delete the last zero from a cell, but only if there is a . in the string and then delete the .
Example
A1
175FP2T12123050079301001 - Leave unchanged
A2
175FP2T12123050079302001.1 - result should be 175FP2T12123050079302011

I have 6 columns on my data sheet. F column is Amount column.
If there are rows where all the columns A,B,C,D and E duplicate then I need that row to be deleted, BUT before that the value from the column F should be summed to the duplicating row's F column.
I attached a simple example file, where you can see my point better. (I need the code to work with thousands of rows, and not only with 5 rows which i put on the axample)

I have used the following VBA quotes for my workbook to remove auotfills and data that I want to remove from my worksheet. The workbook has multiple worksheets and the worksheet that I want to use this VBA on is on worksheet 10 (ie. Sheet10). what's wrong with the VBA codes that I have below? Currently nothing happens whenever I try to click on the button that's linked to this code and there's no error message.
Sub ClearStuff()
Dim rng As Range
For Each rng In Sheets(10).Range("C18:BV" & Sheets(10).Range("B65533").End(xlUp).Row)
If rng.Value = Sheets(10).Range("D11").Value Then
rng.ClearContents
rng.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
End If
Next rng
End Sub

I have a spreadsheet with multiple colored rows (grey rows are company headers, white rows are orders). I would like to find and delete any multiple company headers (i.e. grey rows followed by another grey row) and keep only the company headers that have orders (i.e. grey rows follwed by white rows). I have attempted the following macro but it doesn't seem to be validating the initial "If" since I keep receiving my "no good" ...

When right clicking on the sheet tab, I need to know if it is possible to remove the "Delete" from being an option. My workbook is structured to where if a single sheet is deleted, it screws up all my formulas. I tried to just password protect the workbook, but doing that removes the "Rename" function, which I still need.

I want to delete a picture from an image control in a worksheet when pressing a button. So my code is:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Sheets("Sheet1").Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("")
End Sub
Well, the problem is that this code only works when I create it. If I save and close the excel file when I open it again and I press the CommandButton1 I get the following error: Run-time error '-2147417848(80010108)' Method "Picture of object "IImage" failed.

I'm okay with Excel, but I'm just getting into utilizing VBA and I've been searching high and low for a simple VBA code that will remove/delete rows based off a single criteria without loop as there are over 40,000 rows. I tried a couple that I found onilne, and adapting them to my criteria range, but no luck. (All the ones that I found that work use loop and it takes about 15 mins to run through the entire spreadsheet)
I would like to maintain my first row as it's my headers. My single criteria is to remove all rows that have "NO" in column D.

I have a Macro which deletes a sheet called "Pre selection" with:
Sheets("Pre selection").Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete
It asks me every time if I am sure and I have to click to continue. Is there any way to remove this prompt or set it to continue without my intervention?

I'm attempt to automatically validate QTP spreadsheets with an EXCEL VBA macro. All is going well but I now want to look smarter. Is there a method to globally remove all comments from a worksheet?: D What I actually want to do is add comments to cells which fail validation but some of these cells may already contain comments. If they do contain comments then I want to overwrite with my comments. I thought the easiest way would be to delete all comments at the start of macro but I am all ears to any other approach.

I currently have a macro which will copy a row of data from one sheet and paste it into the first blank row on another sheet "Invoices".
Now I want to write some code that will insert a checkbox to the left of each new row of data, (presumably in column A). I'm getting confused because I have never worked with checkboxes before and when I search the net for info. I'm getting some hits on Userforms (which I don't want), others on ActiveX controls and still others on form controls (what I think I need).
Here is some more info on what I'll be doing with them:
I am writing a second macro to see which boxes are checked. For any checked boxes I want the respective data to be sent to a mail merge and then the entire row, data and checkbox, to be deleted.
This adds a minor complication because if I delete a row, then all rows and checkboxes below it will need to move up. Is this something that will happen naturally or do I need to create some special code to handle that.
The final complication is that the data is data is going to sorted sometime between the creation of the checkbox and its later deletion. I'm wondering whether its necessary to keep a checkbox associated with a particular row, or if I can just tell the checkbox to figure out which row it exists at.
So, to sum up. I need to:
First - Learn how to create a checkbox
Second - Scan through all existing checkboxes and see which ones are checked
Third - Delete rows and sort the data while maintaining one checkbox for each row of data.

Problem-2) I want to display & change Block Status of Yard in List View. Yard No will be selected using combo box.
List View Should allow addition & Deletion of record.
Note: I am a bit new user for VBA but can copy codes from sample file to use in the files.

So I'm trying my hand at creating VBA buttons and functions that do the following.
Button 1 :
to add a column with every click. The button will create one extra column. So by design there will be at least 1 column. Example if the button is clicked twice it will create 3 columns. I just need a buffer col. (contains no data)
Button 2 :
to delete empty columns leaving only one empty buffer column. That is this button will purge empty columns except the buffer column. OR if ALL the columns are filled, Button2 will create the buffer column.
Eg. I click Button 1 three times. It creates four columns. I only fill two columns. When Button 2 is clicked it will delete all the empty colums except the buffer column. OR I fill in all four columns, there is no buffer column, when I click Button2 it will insert the buffer col.
Button 3 :
to add a row with every click. The button will create one extra row. So by design there will be at least 1 row. Example if the button is clicked twice it will create 3 rows. I just need a buffer row. (contains no data)
Button 4 :
to delete empty row leaving only one empty buffer row. That is this button will purge empty row except the buffer row. OR if ALL the columns are filled, Button4 will create the buffer column.
Eg. I click Button 3 three times. It creates four rows. I only fill two rows. When Button 4 is clicked it will delete all the empty rows except the buffer rows. OR I fill in all four rows, there is no buffer rows, when I click Button4 it will insert the buffer row.
In the sample file there are six columns filled with data. The 7th col is empty(the buffer column). The column after that calculates the average of data in filled columns. There are eight rows with data and the ninth row is the empty buffer row.
The "add" buttons must be able copy the format/formula of the column/rows BEFORE the buffer colums/rows and insert it before the buffer column/row.

Using the following code to remove empty rows based on whether a specific range of columns is empty. The code works if the cell has a zero, but not when the cell is blank. An example of the data is attached.
VB:
Public Sub DelRows2()
Dim Cel As Range, searchStr, FirstCell As String
Dim searchRange As Range, DeleteRange As Range

I have found a very useful UDF for removing non-alpha characters from strings. (See below, Credit for posting to Stanley D Grom - Ozgrid post ´Removing Non-alpha Characters From Text´).
Option Explicit
Private Function RemoveCharacters(InString As String) As String
Dim intLoopCounter As Integer
Dim intStringLength As Integer
Dim intASCIIVal As Integer
intStringLength = Len(InString)
InString = LCase(InString)
For intLoopCounter = 1 To intStringLength
intASCIIVal = Asc(Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1))
If intASCIIVal >= 97 And intASCIIVal <= 122 Then
RemoveCharacters = RemoveCharacters + Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1)
End If
Next intLoopCounter
End Function
Two requests:
1. Could the UDF be modified such that any part of a string contained within brackets is also removed (e.g. "NLGA High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlgahighstreeten")?
2. Can an argument be added to the format of the UDF, such that numbers (0 to 9) are either included or excluded (e.g. RemoveCharacters(A1,1) where the argument ´1´ would include any numbers (0 to 9), so "NLGA2003 High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlga2003highstreeten6")? ´blank´or ´0´would exclude these numbers, i.e. would return "nlgahighstreeten"

I need to create a macro that can create a dynamic copy/paste loop. So far what I have is horribly inefficient. Each row in colmn A(minus the header) has a unique number in it. For each unique number, I need to paste it based on the number of column headers in row 1(minus column A). So, if there are 20 column headers, I need to copy cell A2 and paste it 19 times in another sheet. Then, I need to move to the next number in column A and do the same thing. Here's what I have:
[Code] .........
You can see that this is not dynamic. If I add another row to my table and rerun the macro, it will not catch it. I've attached a sample file to show you the big picture of what I'm trying to do. The data that I have is in Sheet1, and I'm trying to get it into the format in Sheet3. Rows/columns will be periodically added to the table in Sheet1, so the macro needs to be dynamic to catch that. The data in Sheet3 will always remain, and the macro will add the updated data below the old data in Sheet3.

Trying to create an excel chart to create totals based upon different keys. I
need to be able to calculate how many customers there are by Manager and then
By Rep. Then to figure out how many were New, Current, Total # of RSVP and
attended for that Rep. Below is how I have started but I am having some
problems getting certain parts. I know when I get one the rest will fall into
place. I can calculate how many total customers by manager and by rep just by
doing a Countif command but how do I determine the # of New, Current etc. Is
there a If Than command? Managers Totals are simply his reps totals.
Example..
A B C D E
F G
1 Manager Rep Customer New Biz Current # RSVP # Actual Attend
Need totals to look something like this....
A B C D E
F G
1 # of Cust # New # Current #RSVP #
Actual Attend
2 Manager
3 Rep 1
4 Rep 2

I would like a macro to find the columns named "apple" and "peach" and delete them. These would always be in row 1 but would always be in different column letters which is why I want the macro to simply find these columns by their name and not by their column letter.
And yes, I do mean the entire column altogether, shifting entire columns to the left. Wipe it off the face of the earth

I have an formula if statement that returns "deletethisrow" if the test is true.
For every occurence of "deletethisrow" I want to delete the row. The number instances will be variable each time I run the file. So maybe it will find that string, maybe it will find 10 instances. I want to do some kind of loop that won't error out when it cannot find "deletethisrow", but will delete the rows for each instance where it does find this string.
I know it was verbose, but if I just do a loop for a fixed number of loops it will error out if it runs out of rows to delete.
