Pasting Into Filtered Cells Affects Other Cells Also?
Jul 24, 2013
Usually if I filter and perform some kind of operation on the cells displayed by the filter it is only these cells affected. For example, if I run a filter that shows 10 rows and I Paste a value into say, Column A, of all 10 Rows then remove the filter and look through all my rows, only the 10 cells displayed during the filter contain whatever I Pasted in.
However, sometimes when I do this many rows that were not displayed as part of the filter are affected. For example, I Paste something into my 10 filtered Rows and after removing my filter I find that whatever was Pasted into the 10 cells is now in 200 cells.
How can I be sure that any changes I make to a set of filtered cells are ONLY applied to those cells?
I have a macro that takes a worksheet and copies it to another workbook. It works, but the graph that is contained in the new worksheet ends up a little screwy; for instance, the Plot Area is larger than it should be (height-wise along the screen), and the chart's legend isn't in the exact same place as in the original chart.
If cell BE72 says "Natural", then cell CM11 equals the value in cell BE73. If cell BE72 says "Deflection", then cell CT11 equals the value in cell BE73. If cell BE72 says "Dodge", then cell DA11 equals the value in cell BE73. If cell BE72 says "Insight", then cell DH11 equals the value in cell BE73. If cell BE72 says "Luck", then cell DO11 equals the value in cell BE73. If cell BE72 says "Sacred", then cell DV11 equals the value in cell BE73. If cell BE72 says "Compet.", then cell EC11 equals the value in cell BE73. But, If nothing is entered in BE72, then I want to be able to type my own values in cells CM11 through EC11 without overwriting any formula.
Since I cannot have a formula in a cell and still type in it without overwriting the formula, I was wondering if it's possible to have another cell (maybe cell A1) that has this formula in it. Can a cell like A1 hold a formula that functions for other cells even though nothing happens in A1? If so, how would I make the above work?
I have spreadsheet with different 100s of columns of dates with 600 rows. The first row identifies which zone the data belongs to (North, South, East, West. NE, SW, SW1, etc...)
I want to write a formula to check how many dates in each column fall in 2015 or later years; This can be accomplished by writing a countifs formula.
Where it gets complicated is once i filter on the Zones;
I want the formula to give me the desired result - count of all CELLS where the year is 2015 or greater - WITH FILTERS ON.
I stumbled upon following sumproduct formula that gives count for visible cells, however when i apply the date criteria, i get incorrect result -
I have a spradsheet that I've formatted using merged cells. The spreadsheet has several columns. Into these columns I must enter raw data extracted from our SAP data base. The extraction worksheet has no merged cells. So bottom line, I have a column of say, 30 non-merged cells and I want to paste that column into my formatted spreadsheet that has 30 merged cells of thre cells a piece (90 cells total).
So far I have been unable to do this. If I've attached it correctly, the sample attached
I have a repetitive task that requires a macro. I need to copy and paste data from my clipboard to separate cells. The clipboard will always consist of 6 data entries delimited by Tabs, like this:
Name 212.412 161.000259.000103232.000 16.902
BUT, I only need to paste columns 2 and 6, so that they appear next to each other like this:
212.41216.902
Writing a macro that can accomplish this? Right now I have to paste using the Text Import Wizard, but I have over 6000 of these instances I need to paste
I would like to paste values from a list into a different list - different tab - that is already filtered. When I try to do so, the values will paste into the hidden cells - being filtered -.
Find attached an easy example of my problem. The list I am talking about is around 1,000 lines.

To explain my example, I filter sheet 1 so only item I need are showing - B, D and F in this case - and I would like to paste the value of Alarm 3 from the Sheet 2 to the corresponding line in sheet 1. But it does not really work - line F is not filled - and when I un-filter values are filled into Item C and D.
When I've use the filter in excel, I can't seem to cut and paste/copy and paste the filtered data to another area. When I try to, it cuts/copys the entire data range, not the filtered one.
I often end up in a scenario where I want to be able to move text from one column into another using a formula, which involves pasting a formula down a filtered range... E.g. Column A contains both ID numbers & dates, I want to move ID numbers into Column B, so I apply a filter to all ID numbers using a formula "=A1" and paste it down the filtered range.
It becomes an issue when there is greater than 50 - 60 thousand rows - excel throws an error "selection range is too complex" and disregards the filtered range.
Only thing I can think of would be a VBA script to automate pasting a formula in blocks of 50,000 rows.
I have several columns on a worksheet that have an auto-filter on top of the column. The last column has numerical data.
I was wondering if there was code when:
As soon as you filter a column the last column would only indicate the data pertaining to whatever was filtered. I would like the sum of that data only. (Visible data) on a pop message box or anywhere on the sheet...
I'm using the following code to filter a particular range(it works perfectly fine). However I need to SUM Column 'L' once the data has be filtered. and place the result in the LASTS populated cell in Column L. At the moment I am selecting all the data in the column even the data that has been filtered out.
i am trying to use a small piece of code to find the last row in an excel sheet, to copy/paste formulas and data.
Dim LastRow As Long If WorksheetFunction. CountA( Cells) > 0 Then 'Search for any entry, by searching backwards by Rows. LastRow = Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=[A1], _ SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _ SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row End If
i am using this code like this:........................
if i filter only the DD the formula will find the last row being row 5, and the formula will fill all the cells untill that row, including 3 and 4. Is there any chance i can autofill only the active cells or filtered cells.. i don't know.
For simplicity sake if I wanted to paste the letter A in to a cell that already had the letter B in it to make the cell read AB how could I achieve this?
Is there any way in VBA to assign a range of cells to a specific dimension of an array? For example: I have dblArray(1000,7). I want all the values of the eighth slot (xxx,7) to be put into a column on a spread sheet. So, i am looking for a quick piece of code that will look (Mine's in psuedo) something like:
Obviously the XXX part wil not work for a static number (ie, all the range will be filled with one value form the array). I know how to paste a whole array into cells, and know that i can make a workaround with more code if need be, but this seems like a far simpler answer could it be achieved with a line or two of code, and I'm all about performance. I've stripped google clean looking for the answer, but can't find any info...
Is it possible to apply conditional formating just on visible filtered cells? If I select (with Ctrl+Shift+Down) all visible (by filter) cells the Rules defined in Conditional formating will also apply to hidden (by filter) cells?
After I filter for values in Columns(C), I want to count values in Columns(D). When I filter data, I noticed I can manually select the filtered cell range (i.e. Columns(D)) and at the bottom in the Status Bar it will give the correct count. If I cursor over that status bar count it will display "Number of selected cells that contain data." However, I cannot seem to figure out how to get vba to select just the filtered cells selected in that range and count them only and correctly... it instead counts all the values to the last cell in the filtered range.
For example 1) let's say I have a Range("D1:D120') and there are 20 cells containing data in that range.
2) I filter Columns(C) resulting in 10 rows and the rows are 2, 3, 20, 22, 27, 30, 37, 41, 56, 60. Of those 10 rows, there are only 2 cells containing data (let's say cell D20 and cell D37).
3) Now in reality, cells in Range("D2:D60") actually contain 10 cells with values, but since we filtered on columns(C) values... Columns(D) only shows 2 values.
...... here is my problem: 4) If I manually select the filtered range, the status bar "Count" value will correctly sum as "2." But if I code VBA or even "Record a macro code" (obviously incorreclty on my part), it will return a value of 10 for the range of D2:D60 and not on the visible filtered value which is "2."
I need to identify values which are less than 0 and move those cells to an adjacent cell.
Acct Desc Amt 2100 Acct1 -10 2101 Acct2 10 The -10 cell will move one cell to the right. I have an imported list with gl accounts, descriptions and amounts and want to have the negative values moved to a new column.
I need to subtotal/sum a series of columns individually (one column per month across a date range) by the odd numbered visible/ filtered rows as well as (separately) by the even numbered visible/filtered rows. Preferably the totals would recalculate like a SUBTOTAL whenever the filter is altered.
I've explored using Mod and SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible) but I can't get a syntactically correct combination to bring back the desired results.
I did the following, and get an error message, that itself seems erroneous.
Steps: In the source sheet, i selected A9:G9, copied. In the destination sheet, I selected A9:G9, and then "paste formatting" In the source range, I selected the same cells, A9:G9, and copy In the destination sheet, I selected A9:G9, and "paste values"
But, at "paste values" two error alerts come up (and the operation fails):
"The operation requires the merged cells to be the identical size" "The information cannot be pasted because the copy area and the paste area are not the same size and shape"
Within the range, cells C9:D9 are merged. On the destination sheet, before i try to paste values, the cells that I am pasting into appear to be identically merged, if you just arrow by them, the cell highlighted is merged, and "Merge and Center" is highlighted in the ribbon.
So, I do not understand why i cannot paste in this case, since it would all appear to match up properly.
Upon further investigation, it appears that i cannot "paste values" with any cells along with the merged cell, in the same operation. If I only paste the merged cell alone, with "paste values" it works. But, if i add even one cell on either side, it fails in the same way, even though the selected paste region exactly matches the selected source region, in terms of what cell is merged.
I`m trying to do is paste a formula accross multiple columns whilst skipping the empty cells. I tried using the "skip blanks" tick box but it still filled in the empty cells??
I have a set of four sheets that each act as a wall planner type of calendar (one for each team of staff) all in one workbook. I have a sheet that acts as a key where cells on the key display different types of holidays e.g. Annual Leave, Unpaid Leave etc. Normally the user would select the cells where they wish to take the time off against their name and go to the "key" sheet, copy relevant cell and go back to their team sheet and paste. I want to put all this into a macro to be used on a customised button on the menu bar.
I am able to do this with one sheet ( I simply put in the code the name of the sheet that I previously selected) but I don't know how with four sheets. How do I say go back to the sheet I previously selected.
I have a data of a large no. of rows with 5 columns. The last 2 columns are district and state. As it is an imported data, in some rows the data has shifted a column, i.e. the name of state is being shown in district column and name of district is being shown in the column to its left. I tried filtering the data such that it shows only those rows where names of the states are coming under district columns and then selecting the whole thing, cutting it and pasting it to the rightmost column. But even the correct district entries got pasted under state column. Undo, the further damage was controlled, but the original problem remains. Now i will have to cut and paste each row or only consecutive rows.
I have a column that contains labels that are entered down to row 400. Below row 400 in the same column are formulas. If I do a filter on that column I get formula results in the filter list from the formula cells. Is there a way to omit the formula cells on the column that's being filtered? In other words, only list data in rows down to 400 in the filter list.
