Search Through Column First Then Move Onto Next Column?
Sep 11, 2012
I am basically trying to find the first non-empty cell in a range, but I want the macro to look down columns first. In other words, I want it to look down column A, then column B, and so on. Right now I believe it is searching by rows.
With Columns("A1:D15")
.Find(what:="*", after:=.Cells(1, 1), LookIn:=xlValues).Activate
End With
I have some macros that will look for a certain item and then move it somewhere else on the spreadsheet. However, I can't seem to get the code right to skip over the section if the text is not found. I assume it would be easiest to do it with error handling, but the attempts I've made haven't worked.
the macro will search for the text "Name" and move everything under that column elsewhere; then it will do the same for "Date." But currently, if "Name" is not found anywhere on the spreadheet, it will cause an error and ask to end or debug.
I have a sheet which I need to arrange and it looks like -
Column A Column B Column C Column D
[Code]...
the values in Column B, C , D , E & F need to be in new columns based on what we have in Column A associated with "1"
Output should be - Column A Column B Column C
[Code]....
so whatever is in Column A associated with "0" should remain in place whereas whatever is in Colimn A associated with "1" should get added to the new columns. 0 and 1 resembles the 1 Records which are used as a split to normalize the data.
Column A | Column B | Column C Los Angeles | Fire Dept | 3 Los Angeles | Health Services | 12 New York | Fire Dept | 8 New York | Health Services | 22 New York | Internal Services | 100 New York | Public Works | 7 Chicago | Health Services | 15 Chicago | Public Works | 56 Chicago | Social Services | 4
And I am trying to make it look like this:
Fire Dept Health Services Internal Services Public Works Social Services
I have set of data Pasted in 4th row, in the top row 44 columns values assigned i want move data from set of data to different column among these 44 columns
Like "Service Order ID" is 1 column in set of data ,it move to second column of top row
Some of column need to delete. (Service Order Type,Service Order Description,Created By,Status,Contact,Expected Delivery Date,
I am in need of restructuring a spreadsheet of addresses for mailing purposes. (I tried to find something similar answered previously, but nothing seemed to work for me.)
I have attached a small example spreadsheet below, but our spreadsheets can be hundreds or thousands of rows in length.
I need a macro that will look for the "PO Box" addresses under the column headers named "ADDRESS2" and "ADDRESS3".
The PO Box addresses will need to be moved under the column header "ADDRESS1" within the same row.
It will need to overwrite the text that is already under "ADDRESS1" and delete the text from the "ADDRESS2" and "ADDRESS3" columns - UNLESS the text in 'ADDRESS2" is a PO Box AND "ADDRESS1" begins with "c/o".
If the data in "ADDRESS2" or "ADDRESS3" is anything other than a PO Box it will remain the same. As will "ADDRESS 1".
Basically if there is a PO Box it needs to be in the column named "ADDRESS1" and overwrite anything else that was there. The exception will be for PO Boxes that are in c/o someone else, the PO Box will then need to be listed in the column directly after the column that has c/o.
If the c/o exception will be too difficult the code could just highlight those scenarios and we could fix them manually. We usually do not have a lot of them, but enough that we need to be mindful of them.
The different scenarios are listed in my sample spreadsheet.Also, the code will have to use the column header names in row 1 because those headers are not always in the same column.
I have two different Excel reports and the data needs to be copied from each column on one spreadsheet and pasted to the bottom of the equivalent column on the other spreadsheet.
So, is it possible to get a macro that will copy the data from one column then paste it to the next free cell in the column on the other spreadsheet.
If I could get some code to do one column then this should be enough to get me started and I could apply this to the other columns I need to copy.
I am trying to move a column of numbers based on the information in another column. I've been looking for about a week and find macros that are close but not quite.
In one column it reads Mobile, Home, or is blank. If the number is a Mobile (column R), the area code (column P) needs to move to column S and the phone (column Q) needs to move to column T and the primary phone (column R) needs to move to column U. Home and blank cells remain as they are.
area (P) phone (Q) primary phone (R) col S col T col U
All info goes to the master inventory and then if some enters an amount for respray then it is transferred to the respray sheet. when it is transferred to the respray sheet it put the date in Column A and then put 3 days later in Column B.
Every day it will change and the date in A1 changes to tomorrow but if another item is enter as having resprays then it transfers to the respray sheet and will bump down in column C but Column A stays the in the same spot.
I need Column A and B to move up and down if something in Column C moves up or down and it would be nice to always have the oldest date at the top.
I have attached a sample spreadsheet – what I want to do is insert a column before the current column A and move the current column D in to it and auto fill for every non blank cell in column B. Also, there are different values in column D such as “B03” ,”B41” etc – so for example, it should auto fill B03 until it comes across either a blank cell in column B or it comes across a “B41” and then it should do the same until it comes across a “B42” or a blank cell again. This needs to continue till the end of the report.
I have an array 20 Rows x 42 Columns, which contains a competition draw.
I need to search this array for a unique value and return whatever the time is in the first column on the same row as the value appears, and enter it into column C in the Womens Times sheet.
I also want to return into column D the court number from row 3.
The reason i want this automated is as teams enter / withdraw we may need to drag the games from court to court to fill gaps, so i want the Womens Times sheet to update accordingly.
I have been messing around with index and match, but cannot quite get it to return what i need.
I have attached an example ... on the sheet "Womens Times" in column A there is a list of game numbers ( #1W etc etc) indicating womens game #1 and so on. The main sheet i am using also has a seperate tab for the mens games, hence the designator of W or M on the end of the game number.
I am trying to get a formula that will search one column range “B” and pull data from another, “D”. Dates are down column “B” and some of those dates are repeated several times. In column “D” there is only one piece of data (a number) entered for each day. Eg, if 08/06/2009 has been entered 3 times in column “A”, there will only be data entered in 1 of the cells of column “D” and blank cells in the other 2.
Column B -- Column D 07/06/09 -- 54000 08/06/09 08/06/09 -- 62000 08/06/09 09/06/09 -- 61000
I couldn’t get the LOOKUP function to work properly, as there are duplicate dates in column “B” and I often got a result of 0 returned.
As I’ve only got 1 piece of data added in column “D” per day and any duplicate days would just have blank cells in “D”, I can actually get a SUMIF function to work, SUMIF(B3:B60,DATE(2009,6,8),D3:D60). Although it does work, it doesn’t feel right using it and I would prefer a formula that would return just the one cell, instead of the sum of a range of cells.
I have a file with duplicate names of test id's in col a. In col b I have single test id's and col c I have test names. I need to search col a for exact match of test id in col b and if it is there then put the name of test in col c into col d.
See attached document. Basically I need to know the name associated with the ID in column B.
I made a quick little spreadsheet that explains what I am trying to accomplish. Basically I need to search a column for a known number, when it is found, I need to look at another column on that row, and if the cell is a specific item , count it.
I like to search in a columns(1) for specific words say “Don” and then write in another column (say column 6) as “one”. Then it should keep doing until the last cell in that column. It should do nothing if "Don" is not found.
use the VLOOKUP function when the column I need to search is not column A?
I have a Workbook with two worksheets in it and in Sheet 1 I have 10 columns of various text and numbers. In cell A1 of sheet 2 I will fill with a certain code that appears in column E in Sheet 1. The result I would be looking for should come from Column A in Sheet 1. I thought that the following would work copied into B1 of Sheet 2 but it doesn't appear to - =VLOOKUP($A1,'Sheet 1'!E$1:$E$481,1,FALSE).
I need to come up with a way to search Sheet1 column-by-column and within each column search cell-by-cell. The value within each cell is a string and there are empty or blank cells between data (Ending the search after 100 rows is sufficient). As the macro iterates down each column and finds a cell that contains data, I need it to copy that data and paste it in a column on Sheet2. Basically, as the macro searches column A with space between data in Sheet1, it needs to copy that data to column A with no spaces in Sheet2. This needs to repeat for 20 columns.
I have two columns of data and what I would like to do is have excel look over one column ( I5-I379) and for each cell that has say 30 in it I want it to return the value from a corresponding column (G5-G379), to form a separate column.......is this possible?
I have been given an Excel file. Upon opening it, I see that the top four rows do not move even if I scroll down. What I'd prefer is that only the first row (for column titles) not move. If I can learn the name of this feature, I'm sure I can figure out how to change the file.
Need the formula that I will need in my macro to move to the next column (up one letter) for the next time I run the macro witout me having to manually change column the letter?
I need a macro that I can assign to a button so that it will jump the screen to a particular cell. I want it to select the cell in a chosen column in the same row as the cursor already was. So, if I'm in M10 and I hit the AK button, it'll jump to AK10. If I'm in F54 and I hit the AK button it'll jump to AK54.
Table 1 below was extracted from my monthly report of remaining items in our inventory as of month end. This was automatically generated by the system and I am exporting to Excel for editing. We have around 20,000 items.
My final report should look like Table 2. I have been trying to create a formula to expedite the process but I was not successful. I was concentrating using the "IF" function.
