I am looking for a way to select specific columns in excel that have specific characteristics in the header titles. For example, I have a very large worksheet with columns that specify the year and month (ie. "1900-8"). The years range from 1900 to 2011 and each year has "-1" to "-12" to represent the months of the year. Specifically, I am wanting to pick out all of the columns ending in "-8" (August).
View 14 RepliesI have quite a long sequence of column for which the headers are all two-lines titles (with a line break). I need to copy many columns that are discontinuous, and the operation would save me a lot of time if I could select them at once. Of course, I know about selecting the columns holding CTRL, but here is the snag: as soon as a two-line title column is selected, the formula bar displays the content of the header, obviously on two lines, and I can't select any more columns. I tried many things, but nothing could solve this...
Is there anything I can do besides copying the columns one by one (which would take a long time) or renaming them?
Using VBA, I need to Select A1:C14.
The problem is that A1:C14 contains blank cells, and there is also an adjacent column D that I do not want to copy.
So, UsedRegion and CurrentRegion aren't doing it for me. (It selects Column D too.)
Obviously, this is an example...the real data set is an export and varies in size.
I have a worksheet which is used by multiple users at the same time, at the end of the day I can have upto 10 files. The layout of all the files is the same, same number of columns and rows, the only difference would be the file name eg:Test1.xls, Test2.xls etc. information in test1.xls will not be any other file. At the end of the day, these files are emailed and saved in a particular folder.
What I need is get information from all the files saved in a particular folder and keep columns which have data. Additionally, if there is no data for any columns after combining the columns to display an alert. The final file should have information with only data in individual columns and arranged in the order such as Center 1, center 2, Center 3
Eg:test1
Column A Column B Column C.....upto 30 columns
Center 1 Center 2 center 3....upto 30 centers
1 4
2
3 5
test2.xls
Column A Column B Column C.....upto 30 columns
Center 1 Center 2 Center 3.....upto 30 centers
5
The final file will look like this
Finaltest.xls
Column A Column B Column C.....upto 30 columns
1 4 4
2 5
3 5

Excel (2007) user however I'm not very well versed with VBAs and Macros.
I have three sheets and on each sheet the first 5 columns (A - E) have the same title (all in row 1, frozen top row and with filters) there are other columns but I only need A -E to auto transfer.
Sheet 1 is named "Total"
Sheet 2 is named "Management Referral"
Sheet 3 is named "Health Assessments"
What I'd like is for any entry that goes into any row in both sheet 2 and 3 to automatically transfer to sheet 1, but only the information from columns A - E.
There will be dates (dd/mm/yyyy) in column A in each sheet and when transferred to sheet 1 they must be listed chronologically oldest to newest.
I also need all the information in columns A - E that transfer to sheet 1 to stay in their respective sheets.
I have a spreadsheet as attached where there are titles in row 3, but I want to go along each row and pull up all the data below to the immediate row below the title. This is different in each column but you will see what I mean. I do want this to be VBA and the real spreadsheet has many columns so it needs to cycle along I guess until Row 3 is empty?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with Employee details and each employee has a Indicator and a Score.
I'm battling to get Excel to do a lookup on the Indicator, find the applicable Score Range, see if the individual's Score falls within the range and then inserts the relevant % into a cell in a specific row of each employee.
If we did not have more than 2000 doing it manualy might have been an option. Also, the Percentages and Score Ranges in the matrix might change a couple of times....
I'm trying to clean-up a huge bulk of data. What I want to do is automatically select all rows, where column K contains text value "Closedloss", and have all these rows cut/pasted to Worksheet "ClosedCases". The second is similar to the first, but I want to select all rows where column J contains a value of 60-80, and have all these rows cut/pasted to Worksheet "MidRange".
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find the best solution for this problem. I have an excel sheet that contains over 2,000 rows of data with 8 columns. In this sheet, I need to be able to select entire rows that look for specific names in column E which is titled "originator".
The name format looks like this:
Selzer, Paul (TEM)
Wathen, Charles (TEM)
Chapman, Steven (TEM)
etc
I have a total of 15 names that I need excel to look for in this entire sheet. What are my best options for this? I tried conditional formatting, but that does not work that well, as I would have to manually enter in each name.
I'm using Excel 2003 and I have a small problem using text functions. My problem is that in column 'A' I have a name and their year next to it between brackets, like so: Wright Jeffrey (1PBSO)
Now what I have to do, is make two new columns where I extract the surname (Wright) to one columns and the first name in another column (Jeffrey), the "(1PBSO)" doesn't have to go anywhere. Now I wouldn't have a problem with this normally but in the list I have names like 'Van Tongerloo Johan' where VAN TONGERLOO is the surname and JOHAN is the first name. For the first name (Wright Jeffrey (1PBSO)) I just used the LEFT function and then searched for the first space in the string but that doesn't work in the second example anymore.
How to get Excel to select all cells within a specific column that contain a specific character. In this instance, I need to select all the cells which contain a comma...
And even better would be if I could get Excel to not just select all the cells in a specific column containing a comma, but each of the rows in which those cells reside.
I have a output file that is collected time stamped data. How do I select the rows of the first time stamped collection. So, if the first row is stamp with 03-Jan-2009 23:59:00, I want to copy all the rows with that time stamp below the first row and stop when the time stamp starts at 03-Jan-2009 00:00:00. Attached is my sample sheet.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Lookup table with a Group and Subgroup field. I have created a range for the Group and also for the Subgroup. On my main page, I have created a list option which allows the user to select the items under Group (Day, Colour and Time).
What I want next to do is based on the primary selection for Group; I want it to filter it on the specific Subgroup. For Example,
The User selects Colour from Group, the Subgroup will subsequently only show the appropriate selection which is Green, White and Yellow, and no further selection.
know the VBA script to select only specific cells within a worksheet. To be more precise, on sheet 1 - A2, A6 and A10 cells are filled with red color. I want only those cells which are highlighted in red to be selected, copied and pasted to sheet2.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have x number of sheets in a workbook, and I am looking to copy sheets a, b and c into a new workbook that I will create.
The a, b and c are in no order, or consecutive (although they could be). I want to be able to count the number of sheets in the workbook, and traverse through that to find sheets that I need, and select them to copy over to a new workbook.
is there any way to open a workbook and select a sheet within the book without having the entire name?
I've got a unique workbook and worksheet identifier but don't know how to use wildcards to get my macro to open the right workbook.
I'm attempting to write a macro that will select all the rows which contain a value in a specific column. Say for example, all the instances of "test" in column C, I need to select the entire row with that value in the column.
I should also mention that by using an autofilter, only specific row numbers are selected. The source spreadsheet is dynamic and will not always display the same value in the same row, and thus I need something a little more adaptable.
Whenever I try to use Sheets("Volumes").Select or .Activate on a specific worksheet, my macro code will immediately terminate with no error message. Iv'e used F8 to step through several modules and found that this happens every time it hits that line. The wierd thing is that i can select this sheet when screenupdating is off and I select it from a called subroutine. No other worksheets in this workbook are having this problem.
Additional info : using Sheet1.Select will select it with no issues but I don't want to go this route since it's a workaround and not a solution to somthing that should work.This problem occurs in several modulesEverything used to work fine and just one day it decided that i couldn't select the "Volumes" sheet in VBA anymore.I can click on the sheet no problem and it is not protected or hidden.
I have to correct a spreadsheet that takes a bunch of values and creates an average.
=average(N15;N29;N43;N57;N71;N85;N99;N113;N127;N141;N155;N169;N183;
N197;N211;N225;N241;N255;N269;N283;N301;N315;N329;N343;N357)*100%
I didn't create this. Anyway, the problem is that most of these cells will be empty unless a whole bunch of other stuff is filled. These N cells take several values, put them together and create a new one. As time goes by they are filled. While they aren't filled, they'll return the DIV/0 error.
So when that formula I pasted there uses all of these values, it also returns a DIV/0 error because it is getting info from cells that have this error.
I managed to correct that with this
=averageif(N15:N357;"<>#DIV/0!")*100%
It works like a charm save for one problem. When I use averageif I'm forced to use an interval. Along this interval other values show up (it is always a value ranging from 0 to 2). So when the formula works its magic the results are slightly skewed because of this other value that I don't want.
So I figure there must be two ways around this. The first one would be using something like averageif that lets me use several handpicked cells instead of an interval. If I try
=averageif(N15;N29;N43;N57;N71;N85;N99;N113;N127;N141;N155;N169;N183;
N197;N211;N225;N241;N255;N269;N283;N301;N315;N329;N343;N357;"<>#DIV/0!")*100%
It doesn't work, it says I have too many values. So if I could the exact same thing as I did with averageif but keeping all of these values it'd be super nice.
The other solution, less nice but equally effective I guess, is using this same interval but having more than one criteria. The first criteria would still be the one telling it to ignore DIV/0 error, the second criteria would be the one to ignore any values equal or lower than 2.

I have a table, that while writing a vba code I need to select the first column in the table (A) and the last column with data inj the table ( unknown which column it is). The last column might change (meaning that it sometimes column B, somestimes column Y etc...depends on the data). I need a way to select only the the first AND the last column in that table(actually it's the last column with data on that sheet). I'm sure there is must be a way I just don't know it!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet that currently has columns AB to XFB hidden. I want to unhide them, so I selected column AA and then drug the mouse over to the right (toward the empty space), intending to right-click and select "unhide". I do this all the time with no problems.
However, from the instant of my drag to the right, Excel has become totally unresponsive. I see it using 25% of my quad CPUs in task manager, but there is no active memory delta and it has been sitting for over 20 minutes now.
I'd rather not lose the work I just entered, but I can't seem to get Excel to come back to life by pressing escape or clicking in the worksheet. I've noticed slowdowns before when there is a lot of actual data in the cells selected, but these columns were empty to the best of my knowledge.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that has 2 sheets; "Quote Summary" and "ECS". The "ECS" sheet contains columns "C" through "L" each of which has a total on row "27". At any time, one or several (but never All) of these columns may be unused and therefore hidden.
I would like to know if it is possible to sum the total of only those columns that are NOT hidden and display that value in cel "C15" of the "Quote_Summary" sheet.

I have a table in columns C:J, starting in row 7. I have a macro that selects and copies the whole table (after I filter the table) and pastes to another sheet. Recently I've realized that I can only copy/paste C:I or it will mess up my formulas during the process.
This is the code I have right now, which works beautifully for the whole table:
Code:
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table36").Range.AutoFilter Field:=6, Criteria1:= _
"=Alan", Operator:=xlOr, Criteria2:="="
Range(ActiveSheet.ListObjects(1)).Select
Selection.Copy
What I need is to know how to copy everything in the table except column J. I can't just copy a certain range cells because the number of rows is variable. There has to be a way to modify the ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table36") right?
