Macro - Find Null Cells And Delete Records
Oct 3, 2013Creating a macro. Need to delete records in column D from the first blank cell. 1st blank cell variable.

View 9 RepliesI am paste valuing from one sheet to another. The size of the data changes each time so to manually delete all Null cells is a pain.
If I do not delete them it sucks up 3 megs of space. I have searched the board several times looking for a solution, lots of discussions but no solutions.
It would be great if I could find that first cell that contains the Null string and then delete the cells remaining in the column. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have an excel file, where there is a section "Additional Requirements". This section is repeated like 20-25 times in the sheet and has a group of merged cells below it to enter data as shown in the picture. Issue is that majority of these "Additional Requirements" are not filled by the user. Hence maybe only 3 or 4 are filled and I have to manually delete the rest. I tried the code below, but it doesn't do anything.Running the macro just jumps the cells slowly downwards the sheet. Maybe if the macro runs 10-15 times it reads the whole code and then moves on to the next row.8-1-2014 12-43-27 PM.png What I'm trying to achieve is:
1. for the macro to find "Additional Requirements"
2. Then check the Merged cell below it (thus the offset)
3. If this cell is blank, select this cell and the cell containing "Additional Requirements"
4. Delete entire rows of these cells/delete the selection (entirerow.delete). (I read somewhere to set a variable as selection and clear it, hence ive included in the unreadable code. This wasn't working either)
I have a range of columns i.e. 23 columns (i.e. B through X). Someone can write records in these columns (starting from B21).
Duplicates are considered the rows with similar data in columns 3 and 11. I know about the removeduplicate method and works really well but i want the duplicates not to be removed. Instead another column shall be checked for date of entry (user will entry date in format dd/mm/yyyy). The newest entry will change the value of the cell in column 4 (islatest column)to TRUE while all other records will be FALSE. This will work with the filtering of data on a pivot table on another worksheet.
The code should go through each worksheet and if the row in column A has a null value or 0, then delete the row. The count is based off of column T. The row deletion portion of the code works, but something is wrong with my worksheet looping structure.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am building a template ("Table") that will import data from 4 other spreadsheets and then format the data once its all in the template. I need to delete all rows where a name didn't import. The names are landing in column B (starting with B22), so I set up my code using an active cell loop macro to examine each cell to see if it was empty, and then to delete the row if it were. I've tried 4-5 iterations of code but nothing is working correctly.
Apparently when the fields are copied over from the other spreadsheets, some empty cells actually have something in them such that they are not completely blank. What syntax I can use so that I capture every instance of a blank/empty cell and delete that corresponding row? Some of the code I've tried is below.

I have tried to record this but I cannot get it to work? On the tab “Add & Delete” cell “L17” I have a drop down list that is a list of the policy numbers from the “Data” tab.
What I am trying to do is assign a macro that searches column “J” on the “Data” tab based on the “L17” content on the Tab “Add & Delete” when it finds the data it then clears the contents of that entire row.
In column B I have a list of blank cells and cells that contain values. I want a macro to search for 'Jobs' and if it finds this word in column B then delete the entire row where it is find and also delete the row below it if column B is blank and also delete the row below again if column B is blank (up to 8 rows below where the word is find at most will be blank)
When it eventually finds a cell that is not blank, then exit sub.
I have a large number of customers listed in an excel sheet that may recieve a visit from my organisation. The reason for the visit may vary and sometimes a customer may recieve more than one visit. Each Row (or record) maps to a customer. Each column has a visit type which I insert a date in to say when the customer has been visited.
I am looking for a function that will return if a customer has been visited or not. As dates can be summed like numbers I am currently saying in the "Visits Recieved" column =if(sum of dates (visit type colunm) >0, 1,0) Then I simply sum the column to get my answer of how many csutomers have been visited.
In a column "V", when the user enter "Y", i need to copy the entire row to another sheet("Written-off"), its working fine.Sometimes the first 2 columns of that entire row where the user enter "Y" may be null, so using my code, copy first entire row where user put "Y" and paste to another sheet("Written-off"), then user also enter "Y" to wherever in "V" column, this time the entire row should overwrite the last row in the "Written-off" sheet.
I found the reason is first column of the last row was null, so when check the first cell, if it is empty then the next entire row should be copied that area.
Is there anyway to check first 2 cells of the last row in a sheet in null or not?
If Right(Left(ActiveCell.Address, 2), 1) = "V" Then
myColumn = "V"
If Intersect(Target, Columns(myColumn)) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo last
If UCase(Target.Value) = "Y" Then
Target.EntireRow.Copy Sheets("Written-Off").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)(2)
Application.CutCopyMode = False

I'm having a problem with a seemingly simple formula I can't quite figure out. I need to search through four cells, M(n)-P(n), to find out if they have a value in each cell respectably. When the values are found I need them to form a make shift column in which the three cells underneath the cell with the formula are filled with any available values.
For example:
John Smith has the values: 1 in col M, 2 in col N, 3 in col O, and 4 in col P. That is of course ideal and I would be able to fill in the other cells very easy. But in my case John Smith has values: 1 in N, and 2 in P. Or whatever other order you can think of. I wrote a formula that looks like this:
=IF((M2="")*(N2="")*(O2=""),P2,(IF((M2="")*(N2=""),O2,(IF((M2=""),N2,M2)))))
This seems to work if they have a value in column M, but if for instance they dont but have a value in column N instead, it doesn't produce a result. Could someone give me some advice to what I am doing wrong? I am still new at writing formulas, so I'm sure there has to be some function I don't know about that would make this a lot easier.
I am new to to VB Scripting, filter the records. In the attached file there are multiple records which needs to be filtered. Once all the records are filtered, i want to delete the entire row of that record(s). I want to filter column 'F' with the values mentioned in Sheet2. I tried recording a macro, but it is not allowing me to do so as the macro has some limitations. The search and delete row loop The main purpose is to delete the row of the value, if not found, move on to next value in Sheet2.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a large (300K+ records) database with a sizeable amount of duplicate records. I want to delete the duplicates but this is not a matter of simply Remove Duplicates; I need to evaluate them before I do.
I am wondering what functions would:
1) select the specific record in a set of duplicates that makes a determination of a status
2) once the status has been determined for the set, delete all other records
Fields in my database:
ACCIDENT NUM (ID field, in text or General format)
DUP (for Duplicate, indicated by a character, for now its a "?")
OCC_KILLED (in Number format)
OCC_INJURED (in Number format)
SEVERITY (in text format)
Here are some scenarios:
ACC dup K I
12345 ? 0 0
12345 ? 1 2
Or:
ACC dup K I
123456 ? 0 1
123456 ? 1 0
Or:
ACC dup K I
1234567 ? 0 0
1234567 ? 0 2
1234567 ? 0 0
This is the formula for indicating if there are Duplicate records in the larger dataset:
=IF(OR(A2=A3,A2=A1),"?","")
I need to determine the Severity of the accident based on this:
If OCC_KILLED > 0 then SEVERITY = F (for Fatal)
IF OCC_INJURED > 0 and > OCC_KILLED then SEVERITY = I (for Injury)
IF OCC_KILLED and OCC_INJURED >= 0 then SEVERITY = F
IF OCC_KILLED and OCC_INJURED = 0 then SEVERITY = PDO (for Property Damage Only)
I have a code already in place for how to create the value for Severity but it DOES NOT account for duplicate records:
(in SEVERITY field):
=IF(A1<>0, "F",IF(B1<>0,"I","PDO")
sampleset.xls is a sample ot the database.
I have a spreadsheet with a column of records (text ) from B1:B4000. I would like to delete the entire row of the duplicate record. Overall data set range is (A1:I4000). This spreadsheet may contain more than 1 duplicate record. Is there in easy fix?

I'm creating an Excel UserForm where the user can view, edit, and delete records they've entered.
The following code is for Deleting a selected record, and it IS WORKING. But it seems TOO SIMPLE and I want to be sure it's correct and not leaving any loose ends in the Database file that could cause corruption later on....
Sub vCLdbDel()
Dim cnt As ADODB.Connection
Dim dbPath, dbName As String
Dim stSQLAs String
Dim stCon As String
Dim dbid As Long
Run "setvars"
'Get the dbID from the selected Item in the list
With vCL.CLdbList
dbid = .List(.ListIndex, 6)
End With
'Path & FileName to the Database File
dbPath = M. Range("G2").Value
dbName = M.Range("G3").Value
I do (I've cut it out, saved, closed, reopened, tried different naming conventions). The code does 2 things:
1) Copies the selection from the Listbox ("RegionSelect") to another worksheet ("Steps")
2) Uses that value to copy and paste other items into the same sheet.
The first part is working, the second part gives me a "Run-Time error '94': Invalid Use of Null" error on this line:
I have a file here included which has 8 + columns. I normally have to go through each column and find when the references start and delete everything below it. If i could have a macro find where the references start in each column and delete on down that would be a huge time saver.
#REF!
#REF!
#REF!
#REF!
Thats the example of the reference i run into, i was thinking of a macro to find where the REF starts and delete that cell and everything on down.
I am trying to get macro which will find word "Service" in sheet 1 and after that delete that row and below row.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet that is several thousand rows long. It is sectioned into various "topics" (e.g. Revenue, Profit); each topic (there are about 100) has 10 companies. The 10 companies are the same for each topic. For instance, if 2 of the companies are Microsoft and Intel, then there will be a Microsoft row and an Intel row within each topic.
I am trying to write some code to delete every instance of a company (the user indicates the company in a form). So, for instance, if I want to delete Microsoft, the user would enter the stock ticker, MSFT, into the form and press the appropriate command button. When the command button is pressed, the code should find each row that contains the ticker MSFT (the tickers happen to be in column B) and delete it.
I have written the following unsuccessful
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Ticker As String
Ticker = TextBox1.Value
'If IsText(Ticker) Then
Range("$A$5").Select
Cells.Find(What:=Ticker, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=False).Activate..........
I have a large worksheet that has one column that contains cells with either numbers, text or in some cases Nulls. Can anyone help me with some code that would loop through all the cells in this column and when it encounters either text (any text) or a null change the cell value to 0 (Zero).

1. I have two email databases in Excel: a master database and opt-out database.
2. I need to remove from the Master database emails of opted-out people.
3. Since the databases are large, I'd like to use a relevant Excel function to do that automatically.:
In the master list (column B) I have all the emails from the Master list. I have copied in the column C of the Master list the emails of all who opted-out. I need to remove opted out emails (listed in column C) from the master email list (column B).
I have a spreadsheet titled "PMIX" In Columns A:F Column F has Week Ending date. Each week, I need to update this, i.e. delete the data from two weeks ago and then add the new weeks data. What I am thinking is I enter a Week Ending Date in H1, then I would like VBA to delete all rows where it has the data in H1. I am hoping for a delete function as opposed to a clear so I can shift all the rows up.

Can it be done without Macros?
I need a Macro that will search all of the cells for specific text, and delete all cells containing the text. I prefer to make a list of the specific texts and run macro to find all of them and delete all cells containing the text. I need to be able to add some more text into the list in future.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSee attached doc "Find and Delete.xlsx". Inside, the value in F12 is a very important cell. Using the text value from F12, I first want to use visual basic code to find the range in column B because it will vary. This means the 'text words' column might have 50 words or it might have 2000. I have racked my brain trying to find a universal way to find a variable range.
Then I would like to search for the exact text value within this range in column
B. For example, in F12 is the text word 'windows xp registry cleaner' and you can see that this value is in B9. There will only be one exact match in column B.
I then would like the vb script to delete and remove this found value, then move left one space in column A to also delete the ID number associated with the text word. Then shift both rows up to fill the empty gap. I have tried numerous different codes but to be honest, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. I've tinkered with find and replace, vlookup, match, find, search, and many more.
