I have a question about loops. I've read that loops are slow and there are better ways to achieve the same results but I do not know how to accomplish the same without using a loop. I've attached a code that looks in the first sheet and if in column "f" if criteria is met it will copy the row to a separate sheet. Then is goes to a separate sheet and does the same thing after it skips a row then copy header information. What i'm doing is consolidating multiple sheets to one for prioritizing data. The loop works but I've been going back and trying to make my workbook a little more effecient and really cannot figure out how I would do it differently.

I was tasked with looking through a 10,000 row by 20 column spreadsheet for 628 different ID Codes and replacing them with their Descriptions. The ID Codes could appear individually in any of these cells (200,000 cells!).
The list of ID's and Descriptions hardly ever changes, so I decided to create the two-dimensional array as part of the find-replace macro shown below (only a few lines of each dimension are shown).
My question isn't related to that (although if you can suggest a better alternative please do). The main "work" of the macro is the loop at the end of the array declarations, which essentially loops through all 628 ID codes in array dimension 1 and does a Find-ReplaceAll with its corresponding Description from array dimesion 2.
This task, manually, could take days. My macro has whittled the task down to 2.5 minutes on a 5-year-old laptop, but I was hoping one of the gurus might suggest an even better method than 628 loop iterations. If not, so be it, the end users will appreciate what I've done and then have to find something to do with their "free time."
I am trying to creat a code that with take the value of an active cell and depending on this value will assign a backcolour to a label corresponding to the cell. so far so good. I then want the code to offset to the next cell in the range read its value and assign a colour to that cells backcolor.
here is an idea.
range("A1").select for n = 1 to 4 if activecell = "A" then Label1.BackColor = RGB(0, 0, 0) else if activecell = "B" then Label1.BackColor = RGB(0, 0, 255) else if activecell = "C" then Label1.BackColor = RGB(0, 255, 0) end if activecell.offset(0,1).select next n
Firstly I would like the next loop (refering to A2 in this example) to refer to Label2 not Label1 and so on. secondly the example would loop through 4 cells in one row (A1:A4) but I would like the code to apply to several rows ie (A1:D4).
so thats 16 cell and 16 labels. I could code this in a very inefficient way but I am sure ther is a simple method.
I am currently using Excel 2003 to pull from 2 external spreadsheets to compile data. The first sheet (seniority list.xls) being referenced contains all of our employees (approximately 350 rows, but that can vary from 340 to 450) as well as some information (employee ID, full time or part time, etc.). The second sheet being referenced (pay.xls) contains a breakdown of all employees and their pay for a particular bi-weekly period.
What I'm looking to do is:
(1) Find out all of my current employees. I do this by referencing seniority list.xls.
(2) For each employee, find out how many hours they worked each week. I need to do this by referencing pay.xls. Unfortunately, that file works quite differently than seniority list.xls. Unlike the latter, which contains one employee number per row, pay.xls could contain as many or as few rows per employee as their schedule dictates. Each row contains things such as overtime, regular time, double time, alternate regular time, alternate OT, vacation, sick pay, etc. In total, pay.xls could contain as many as approximately 8000 rows. To determine how many hours they work, I'm using this CSE (array) formula:
(Note that the employee ID is in column A of the current sheet.)
I have a bunch of array formulas that need to be activated by going on the cell, hitting F2, then hitting Ctrl+Shift+Enter. In the attached sheet I have done a record macro to automate this. I have another sheet with something similar just a lot more items on Sheet1 (~250 items). It will be very time consuming for me to record macro and hit F2, then hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter ~250 times so I am wondering if there is any way to activate all the array formulas on the sheet in one go using 1 formula. I'm not too concerned with file size.Also, not all arrays only include columns A and C, other columns (D, G, H and J) are included too.
I'm using the script below to do a cut & paste job. The script works fine. However, since I have a lot of data on my worksheet, it takes a very, very long time to complete the job. Based on the same logic used in my script, could you propose a more efficient way of doing it?
Sub test() Application. ScreenUpdating = False On Error Goto errortrap Do Columns("d:d").Select Selection. Find(What:="*", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:= _ xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:= _ xlNext, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate ActiveCell. Offset(0, 1).Activate ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Activate Selection.Cut ActiveCell.Offset(5, -2).Activate ActiveSheet.Paste Loop errortrap: End End Sub
Was hoping to get some help with a mini project of mine.. Currently I am looking to create a progress/commission report (pull data from an access dbase) and populating an excel sheet. I can manage to pull in the data fine its just gettting into a format that is the complicated thing. I was hoping that someone might have a few moment to pick thru my code (see attached) and maybe suggest an alternative/more efficent way to do the refreshing.
I have a lot of data with the wrong number format. I want to find all cells with this particular number format and change it to another.
I know I can do this by looping through all the cells on the sheet or by using the find method, but both ways require looping. I am hoping there is a quicker way. I originally thought there was a SpecialCells type that was format conditional (not conditional formatting), but there doesn't seem to be one.
I have the following code on a userform. The form has several checkboxes used to determine which states to include on a report. I was wondering if anyone could think of a better way to code this. The code goes throught the checkboxes and assigns values to variables state# if the box is checked. I need the state# variable to fill in sequentially, so 1 first, 2 second, ect. Any boxes not checked will result in some state# = "". I also need to keep the order the states are checked consistent. If Arizona checkbox is checked, I always want it to be State1.
the sheet is very long and monitors the sales activities of each individual every day extending vertically down the sheet until the present day.
my first priority was to get the information recorded but now i am wanting to use it. how would an expert arrange this data to make analysis easier going forward?
ultimately i will be wanting to look at individuals, groups of individuals, certain types of activity etc within various time periods.
Is there a way to make the code below more efficient?
My data resides in "Buildings August 2006(2).xls " and I wish to copy some cells to "Backlog Analysis .xls"
'Copy J16 to B5 Windows("Buildings August 2006 (2).xls").Activate Range("J16").Copy Windows("Backlog Analysis.xls").Activate Range("B5").PasteSpecial
I repeat the code above 7 more times to handle J29-B6, J33-B7, J42-B8, L56-B10, L57-B11, L60-B13 and L62-B14.
Is there an Array I can use to encompass all of the copy and paste commands?
This is step 1 of something I am doing for work
Step 2 will be to figure out how to work my way through all of the worksheets in "Buildings August 2006(2). I have seen numerous code examples for this so I think it shouldn't be too hard.
how to calculate averages and standard deviations based on different time periods without having to manually change the cells?
example: 1st average output at z3, 1st std dev output at z4 data to calculate from c3:c50
2nd average output at z5, 2nd std dev output at z6 data to calculate from c51:c98
3rd average output at z7, 3rd std dev output at z8 data to calculate from c99:c148
and it goes on based on this sequence. i would like to know how to do this without having to change the cells each time i want to calculate. basically what is the quickest way to calculate following this sequence?
Any way of shortening the attached code. The first part 'Sub Loop1()' works great but I can't figure out how to shorten the second part. As you can see the distance between columns is always consistent i.e. add 5 columns to find the next outcome to work out the next result. Ideally I wanted to somehow loop through the next 5 columns again and again until the cell is blank.
I need to check each of 13,000 job titles to see if they include the string "VP".
For the time being, I want to find the most efficient way to check an individual title, before building an array or SUMPRODUCT function that will check all the titles in swoop.
So... I have tried:
=ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A1,B1))
..but it returns TRUE if A1 and B1 are both blank -- which they can be in my spreadsheet.
And I have tried:
=SIGN(SEARCH(A1,B1))
but it returns #N/A if A1 cannot be found within B1.
If I can, I want to avoid introducing an IF statement because, looking ahead, I am already concerned that this analysis will be complicated enough without multiple paths.
So.. what's the most efficient way to return a TRUE/FALSE, or 1/0, result depending on whether A1 is in B1?
EXTRA-CREDIT!
An extension of the above problem... arrays and SUMPRODUCTs welcome:
What's the most efficient way to return a TRUE/FALSE, or 1/0, result depending on whether (A1 or A2 or A3... or A99) is in B1?
I got a macro to copy and paste values onto another tab within my worksheet. I have a lot of data and currently takes about 30 seconds to calculate and paste. Not sure if its an issue with my macro or with my computer (Mac - Excel 2011).
Here is an example of my macro:
Sub SimulateWeek() If Range("AdvanceWeek").Value = "Week 1" Then Range("Week1B").Copy Sheets("Schedule - Results").Range("C2").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
[Code]....
(this continues on until 'ElseIf Range("AdvanceWeek").Value = "Week 31"....etc). So you can see I have the same code repeated 31 times.
I own a Hair Salon which collates its daily takings using a spreadsheet. A section of this takings sheet asks staff to enter which Products have been sold and what they where sold for (RRP), so that once all products have been entered, totals at the end of the day allowing the end -of-day "till-up" process to reconcile purchases and services rendered aginst cash and cheques received.
Unfortunately there is over 600 products to choose from and this evergroes as new products are introduced by manufacturers. Names are long and often very similar, and product price manual listings are slow to reference, therefore the customer has to wait while the staff find the right product and select the right price.
All of this is subject to human error. What i would like is simply to enter part of the product name into a Cell and the right product to be visibly selectable and the price automatically added to an adjacent cell.
With Sheets("regrade pharm_standalone") For Each r In .Range("standaloneTerritory") If r.Value = "X101" Then r.EntireRow.Copy Sheets("X101").Range("A1").End(xlDown).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues End If Next r End With ------------------- I need to repeat this loop for values from X101 to X151. In all cases, the sheet name is equal to the value I'm looking up (eg: value = X102 goes to sheet X102).
I have a named range called 'territories' that contains the list of X101 -> X152.
I'm hoping to make the code perform the loop for each of the territories without my having to copy & paste and change the 'X101' 51 times as this would seem a rather silly thing to do!
What is the most efficient VBA code for the following macro recorded codes? I wish to write more efficient code versus the lengthy, cumbersome macro recorder code.
1) Macro Recorder Code to Copy One Sheet to Another
Macro which loops through a number of files and calls the same macro in each of them. Unfortunately when I add "Application.Run..." to the code, it no longer loops through the process and instead stops after updating the first file in the loop. If I remove the "Application.Run..." code and add any other code, the loop works fine and it continues through the process repeating all the steps for each file found.
Why it stops after one file when using "Application.Run..." to call the macros?
NB I have a list of path and file names starting in row 8 of columns A and C. Each file in the list has a macro called UpdateS1 and promoupdate1.
Sub C_Run_Loop_Macro() Dim lastRow As Long Dim i As Long
I have working code that returns a row number within a for loop based on parameters I set.
Each time the for loop runs I would like to store this row number, then after the loop has finished, delete all stored rows.
Code: for rowNum = 1 to x (some variable end row number which I already have worked out using End(xlUp).Row) if x = y then *storedRow = rowNum end if next rowNum *
Lines with a * are the bits I can't work out. I've been trying to understand arrays by reading posts on what other people have done, but I can't fit (or fully understand) the reDims, or reDim preserves into my code. I've seen what appear to be quite complex ways involving uBounds and LBounds, but unfortunately I can't see how to use them.
All I want is to simply keep adding a row numbers to a variable, (i.e. row 2, 5, 20, 33, 120, etc) and then delete those specific rows.
I am looping through each cell in a range and I would like to loop in reverse order.
Dim CELL As range Dim TotalRows As Long TotalRows = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row For Each CELL In Range("C1", "C" & TotalRows) CELL.Select 'Code here to delete a row based on criteria Next
I have tried:
For Each CELL In Range("C" & TotalRows, "C1")
and it does not make a difference. I need to loop in reverse order since what I am doing in the loop is deleting a row. I am looking at a cell and determining its value. If the value is so much, then the row gets deleted. The problem is that the next row "moves up" one row (taking the pervious cell's address) and therefore the For Each Next loop thinks it has already looked at that row.
I have some numbers in a column that I need to copy 12 times (each one) into another column. The problem is that I got like 200 records that will be converted in 15000 aprox. I've uploaded an example of what I need,
I have a workbook that contains, say, 50 worksheets: the first two worksheets summarise the data and are static in that they don't move position. However, the next four worksheets contain certain data for any given month. Each time a new month comes along, say, November, I insert four new worksheets after the two static ones as a result October's four worksheets are simply moved down the line in terms of worksheet order.
I need a macro to refer to the first six worksheets only (not the other tabs). I opted for index referencing for each worksheet, ie one - six. Now within these six worksheets in any given month, I need to sort the data by a certain column. The problem: in sheets 1,4,5 and 6 I need to rank by column E, but in sheets 2 and 3 I need to rank by column C. I have stepped through the code, which works for sheets 3-6, but doesn't seem to refer to sheets 1-2.
Sub WorksheetLoop() ' ' Loop through an indexed number of worksheets; _ ' & this ensures that the worksheet range is dynamic _ ' and is able to adjust when new sheets are added/removed, etc. ' 'Dim ws As Worksheet Dim i As Long Dim ws As Worksheet
I've worked on a solution for this thread (http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...-automate.html) but have been mentally challenged with how to avoid changing the loop counter in one of the loops I have used to resort an array of file names from the getopenfile dialog.
The aim of the shown code (see post 12 of the above link for attached file) is to check if the file containing the macro is included in the array returned by getopenfile while sorting the array of file names, and if so, moving it to the end of the array for "deletion" by redimming the array to exclude the last item. This problem of the open file being selected in the dialog may never arise, but... as the OP's request in the other thread was to allow two-way comparisons between numerous files, I've considered it likely enough to test for.
Here's the code I have settled for esp between the commented lines of hash symbols, which does change the counter (see the commented exclamation marks), but prevents an infinite loop (on my second try!) by using a second boolean flag of "HasCounterBeenChanged". Is there a better way of doing this? Or, alternatively (not in my thread title), is it possible to prevent the active file being selected through one of the arguments in the getopenfilename method?
