Macro Optimization And Moving Text From One Column To Another And Deleting Previous Column
Nov 7, 2009
I am running Win XP and Excel 2003.
I have a macro I found here on the boards written by Lenze to delete an entire row based on what is found in column A. I would like to delete any row where Col. B contains 10 or less characters and I have modified it to do so (or at least I think it does). My problem is that it takes about 12 minutes to run the macro (I have about 50k lines to run through). I was wondering if this is the fastest method or if it examines things other than just column B.
Sub Test()
Dim i As Long
LR = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
For i = LR To 2 Step -1
If Len(Cells(i, "B")) < 11 Then Cells(i, "B").EntireRow.Delete
Next i
End Sub
After this runs, I am left with Columns A to somewhere around AH. The columns are generally in the format of text followed by a numeric column. An individual text column has the same name through all of the rows. The numeric columns have varied values whether negative or positive.
Ideally what I would like: If a given cell (ie. C2) in Row 2 is numeric, then copy the cell to the left (ie. B2) into (ie. C1) and then delete Column B. I need this to work for multiple columns from B to C, skip D and E, and then from F to AG (and maybe beyond).
I have a spreadsheet which is updated daily. Row A of the sheet has the date in it, and every day a new column is created for the that set of data. I have the below code which works at the moment:
[Code] .....
I want to use this same code on another spreadsheet to do the same process (I need to copy and paste 4 columns (A,B,C + D, into E, F, G & H, then tomorrow it will copy E, F, G & H into I, J, K &L etc etc)). The problem I'm having is that A1:C1 is a merged cell, then D isn't (used as a border to separate). So when it is copied I need to select the merged cell columns and column D (i.e. A:C & D on day 1) and paste it into E:H with E1:G1 merged.
At this point, I have a list in the first column that looks something like the following:.......
First, I want to delete any cells that have two or more '' characters and delete any cells that do not have any text after the first '' character. Then I want to take the text before the character and put it in column B, deleting the ''. Once I have done these things, my original post and this one can be marked solved.
I use this macro to open a hyperlink in "column B" of the next row. However, it only works if I begin the macro from "column N" on the line above. (the hyperlink is always located in column B)
I want to be able to run this macro from any cell on the line above. How to modify it?

I have this macro listed below that finds all these files, copies cells from stat sheet and places them in sheet1 in another file. It keeps looping till all is found and done.
My problem is when it goes to paste in sheet 1 I want it to shift over a row each time.
Right now during the first pass it pastes in column B, I want it to start in column D
The issue seems to lie right under where it says "Put data into workbook"
Public Sub PullData() Dim wkb As Workbook Dim lngStore As Long Dim strDate As String Dim strName As String Dim Book As String Dim Sheet As String Dim week As String Dim Store As String
Is there a function to put in a new column to get the abbreviated year and month of a previous column in the same row???
Ex. Row A B C D 3/14/2007 5/16/2007 2007-3 2007-5
Instead of using the YEAR MONTH funcion for each row is there a universal function that I could designate to the whole column of C and D something like C=YEAR(A(row#))???
I am after a macro to insert a column lets say between column A and B. Once column inserted new column B should be filled by a text say "January" but it should be only filled upto the data of column A so if column A has data upto A600 then column B should be filled from B1 to B600.
I have a pivot that includes customer data and I need to create an average for each row based on the first populated column for each customer. After one month of units appears for the customer, I need to calculate the average going forward, and if there are blanks after that they should be treated as 0 in the average. Below is an example of my description of the pivot.
Jan Feb Mar Apr Customer #1 1 1 3 Customer #2 1 3 Customer #3 2 2
So, the average for customer #1 would be calculated from Column B to Column E, and factor column D as a 0 in that calculation. Customer 2's average would start in Column C and go to Column E, and factor column E as a 0 in that calculation. Customer 3's average would start in column D to column E.
I have an excel work book with 6 tabs. I would like to have Excel move an entire row from one tab to another tab (removing the row and inserting it in the other tab). I.e. Example I have a tab with items that are marked as "Open Actions" so if I were to change the drop down to close. Excel would move that entire row of actions to the tab with the "closed actions" and insert into the next available row. Now if someone were to come back at a later date say no it should be reopened than I would change the drop down to open and excel would move that row back to the open actions tab into next available row. I tried a PIVOT table and no good I played with few macro and not.
I have been working with a few people on here to setup a macro to copy text from a column of cells to another column and then print this in to a text document but it seams to have got stuck in a loop ....
I am looking for a Macro that will search a column for blank cells, and when one is found will add text to the same row in another column. For example: The below is a spreadsheet. I am trying to find something that will search through column "C" in this case and add text (of my choice) to Column "A" if the cell is Blank. So Since cell C1 is Blank then Type "ERROR" is cell A1.
A B C D E 1 X X X X 2 X X X X 3 X X X X X 4 X X X X 5 X X X X
This macro is extreemly basic but i have no skills in excel with macros. Basically i have 'Column A' with stats that i need input into 'Column B', however i need then to be input inside a field that is already there.....
I have a macro that copies data from one sheet to another. I would like getting the macro to figure last row used in column B from B3 on and put the word Sum below it. For example, if last row used is B64, on B65 would like the word sum on it.
I cannot just input in as the number of rows could change when macro is run. Data is dynamic.
Here is simple code I have:
Sub Weight() Sheets("Final Month").Select Range("A2:B1055").Select Selection.Copy Sheets("Final Weight").Select
I have an excel sheet wherin there is a column that has the data where in the dates are displayed and many other columns.
I get this excel every Thursday so i want to filter this date column in such a way that it give me the data related to the date of the previous week only yet there is a catch here. When i say previous week i mean.
Suppose today is 03/14/14 then i want the data from 03/07/14 till today ie Last week friday to this week full( so cant use Current week option) and then paste it in a new sheet.
I tried the Record part but in that it is taking a hard coded value as i am selecting the date myself. I dont want to change the date manually every time.
I have a column of numeric values in column B. I have the date that corresponds with each value in column A. I am using a max formula to find the highest value in column B. What could I use to return the date of the highest value from Column A?
I need a macro or some idea on how to sort the following numbers (I hope this makes sense!)... The problem is with the zeros get sorted to the top (or even if I have blank cells sorted to the bottom) and I need them to ignore the zeros and sort according to the value in their column but not any other column. However, I need them to be sorted in order from D, C, B, A.
A B C D 0000 4000 101000 0540 0050 6660
ie I need them in the following order.
A B C D 0000 4000 0540 0050 6660 101000
Therefore they need to sort based on the following columns.
This is because I am charting the values in a column clustered chart that need to be in ascending order.
Let's say there is a one column with 9 cells. I need in another column to be aranged various numbers in previous column and in another column to be counted every number how many times appears.
I found some VBA code that saves the previous value entered into a cell and displays it as a comment. I've attached that workbook as an example, but I want to change 3 things.
1) I only want to capture the previous values from Sheet1.Column1 (you'll see the example captures changes on the whole sheet1). 2) I want to 'paste' the previous value of Sheet1.Column1 in the corresponding row of Sheet1.ColumnD (i.e. the previous value of A5 will be displayed in D5). The code currently pastes the value in the corresponding address in sheet2. 3) I do not need the comments part. Simply displaying the previous value in the corresponding row of Sheet1.ColumnD is good enough.
I have a spreadsheet that I need to rearrange to improve readability. I have an example attache, which is easier to understand than describing it, but I'll try:
I want to start in a1, move to a2 copy a2 to b1 delete line 2 (the previous lrow 3 now becomes row 2 if a2 > 0.01, skip it and move & select cell a3 ... and repeat the above logic, on the next series of cells...
E.g. copy a3 to b2 delete line 3 (the previous lrow 4 now becomes row 3 if a3 > 0.01, skip it and move & select cell a4 ...and repeat the sequence again.
I have a spread sheet with bunch of rows and columns. Columns goes all the way from A ... BB and rows from 1 to 40,000
The main focus is column Y and AC
If there is a value of FALSE found in column Y then macro should go to previous row and copy the value that contains in column AC and then move down to the next row, , where the value FALSE was found and that's in column Y and paste that value in column AC the NUMERIC VALUE
I have a list of peoples first and last that I am trying to import into another application. My problem is that the application wants the first names in column A and the last names in column B. Right now my excel has the first and last names in the A column. I would just copy and paste, but there are 2,600! I just want to move the last word in column A to column B...
Is there a quick way to transfer the values from a column to a row? If so, does this have to be for the entire column or can you select part of the column and transfer it to a row?
it is possible to move a row of cells with (names in each cell) to a column. Basically, I want the list of names to go from top to bottom rather than left to right.

I have a goal set for the year. With conditional formatting, each month will be set to either red or yellow based on where it stands in relation to the goal. I would also like to show an increase or decrease in productivity for each month. I tried to use conditional formatting with the formula:
=IF(C2=D2, "", IF(C2<D2,"↗","↘")).
The formula works on its own without the conditional formatting so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I've attached a sample with all the conditional formatting and formulas in place.
I am trying to resolve a calculation issue where I want to sum accross columns depending on an entry in the column immediately preceeding. The layout is an Attendance sheet, The columns are for the days of the Month ( 1 - 31 ) and the rows are the Months. There are 2 columns associated with Each day. The first column is for the type of Time Off ( Vacation, Sick, Personal, etc ) the column next to it records the number of Hours some one took off. The work book has a Sheet for Each Employee and a running total needs to be maintained for the amount of "off time" each employee takes by the various time off categories. I have tried setting up range names but this won't work as there will be multiple sheets. I believe the problem is the mixture of Text and Numeric data but could not resolve.
I need to move a number of rows, based on user input in front of the first column, continuously until it 'flattens out' into one row.. And then do the procedure again for the next row Kinda hard to explain.. maybe i'll use an example using this matrix :
