I would like a macro to find the columns named "apple" and "peach" and delete them. These would always be in row 1 but would always be in different column letters which is why I want the macro to simply find these columns by their name and not by their column letter.
And yes, I do mean the entire column altogether, shifting entire columns to the left. Wipe it off the face of the earth
1. Remove J,K,N,A Columns,
2. In the last O (TIMESTAMP) column, the date is 14-Jul-09 format change it to 07/14/2009 (this format mm/dd/yyy
3.Filter L column (VAL_INLAKH) Remove all rows from whole sheet which has 0 value
4. Column C (EXPIRY_DT) date format is 24-Sep-09 , "dd-Sep-09" change to "Sep" only
5.Merge Column B,C,D,E (SYMBOL.EXPIRY_DT.STRIKE_PR.OPTION_TYP
respectively )
Is there a limit on the number of rows and columns that can be deleted in a macro on Excel 2003? I am trying to create a macro that, amoung other things, delets 1119 rows and 54 columns. If I delete the columns first, the rows will not delete. If I delete the columns first, the rows will not delete.

Now I am trying to search then insert a column prior to the other two, concatenate the data into the new column then delete the columns. I am specifically having a problem with my Range statement and can't figure out how to activate it or discern it after using the Find command.

Using the following code to remove empty rows based on whether a specific range of columns is empty. The code works if the cell has a zero, but not when the cell is blank. An example of the data is attached.

Dim searchRange As Range, DeleteRange As Range

Im trying to delete the next 5 columns in a spreadsheet whenever a specific cell value = 0 and for it to repeat to the end of the sheet.
Example:
If cell b5 = 0 then delete the next 5 columns, i've tried a couple variations, but it deletes all the 0 values in other rows.
I'm trying to compare values in 2 separate columns to see how many times the same value appears in both columns. Ideally I would be able to insert a range function to compare the values in the column "ID 1" against the values in column "ID 2" and return the count of times that a value appears in both columns. For example 2122, 1112 and 1718 appear in both columns and I would like the formula to return a count of 3.
ID 1ID 2
12342122
45671112
89101718
11122678
13144544
15162324
17189987
19201215

In my actual project I'm comparing 2 columns in the same worksheet. The column are column B with data in cells B2:B10266 against column C with data in cells C2:C18560.
I'm prompting the user for what two ranges they want to keep in a excel sheet and then I want to delete the rest of the columns. There may be 5 total columns and there may be 30, it will vary. The reason I want to do this is because I will then save data to CSV file and it can only have two columns of data to be passed on for other data processing.

I have two versions that I tried but I am pretty sure there are faster ways of doing it, I don't quite know how to delete all the columns at once.
[Code] ......
The first version doesn't work for some reason and the second column works but is a slow loop, what to do to make this faster?
I use a macro to copy some data from a .csv file. The data is copied to columns A to H (starting from row 31), the number of rows filled depends on the particular case and is not fixed. The first column gets filled with the serial numbers. the problem is that in the last row cells of columns B to H contain three dashes (---).
I have written a simple code that finds the last filled cells in column A. After having found this row, I would like to clear the cells or delete them. the below mentioned simple code does finds the last filled row but I am not able to find a command to delete or clear the cells of this row.
I have this file where i delete columns which are extra, in my real file most of the cells are formulas or links . Basically i need a macro which looks in row 4, and if it finds any zeros ( number 0 ) in the cell it deletes that whole column.
The zero is a indicator for me when i work on these files if it is needed or not. Included the file as an attachement.
How do I read in an entire row and then delete the columns that are not flagged with some value.
Example: Row 1 has a value in column A, C, D, F
I want to delete columns B, E, G+
Note: The value could be numerical or it could be a text string.
I have around 2368 rows for in each column and I have around 8 columns and what I need to do is to remove any gaps. I do not know how to attach picture here, but I can explaining it in words.
A1: 0.9
A2:
A3:
A4:
A5: -0.09
A6:
A7: 0.4
Is there a way to eliminate those gaps (A2, A3, A4, A6...) in one go?
I'm having some problem with a part of my code that deletes entire columns. With ActiveCell as my reference, I want to delete 'Abs_Diff' Columns to the left hand side of the ActiveCell column, including the ActiveCell column. 'Abs_Diff' is a variable of integer type.
SO if ActiveCell column is "P" and 'Abs_Diff'=2, then delete Columns "O:P"
if ActiveCell column is "P" and 'Abs_Diff'=4, then delete Columns "M:P"
My code is selecting columns incorrectly, maybe due to merged cells in cols A,B,C or something..not sure.
Here is my code:
Code:
'DELETE COLUMNS
Set StartPoint = ActiveCell
For X = 1 To Abs_Diff
StartPoint.EntireColumn.Delete
Set StartPoint = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1)
Next X
I am attempting to delete rows with columns not containing "MC". In the example below, the result should be 3 rows remaining (1,2 and 5):
Y
Z
AA
IP/DA/SV
MC/SWL/SA
MC/SH/SA
[code]...
Instead, all I get are results with Y starting in MC, in this case the last row, all the other rows are deleted. I need to get all rows that have MC in three columns (Y, Z or AA) and delete the ones that do not. In this case, rows 3 & 4.
Below is the code I have been using:
Sub Del_Rows()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Range("Y1:AA1", Range("Y" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="*MC*"
.Offset(1).EntireRow.Delete
.AutoFilter
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Seems simple enough but this newbie chump is stumped why it is not reading the other columns
-- I have one sheet with 100 columns. (Master)
-- I have a report that only needs 10 of these columns, in a certain order. (Report)
What is the most efficient way to do this? Note I am not a VBA guru.
Can I add the column headers and positions (in Master) to an array?
Then in a new sheet (Report), copy and paste the desired columns.
I tried to modify this code for my next problem: to delete entire columns where the cell in row 2 is empty, but it doesnt work. The code I use is:
Sub test2()
'This code will create a copy of the current sheet, and retain only the rows
'that have the value '1' in column B.
ActiveSheet.Copy Before:=ActiveSheet
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
Dim ir As Long, mrows As Long, lastcell As Range
Set lastcell = Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)
mrows = lastcell.Row
'Note rows are deleted from the bottom going up
For ir = mrows To 1 Step -1
If Len(Trim(Range("b" & ir).Value)) = 0 Then
Rows(ir).Delete Shift:=xlUp
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
The ideal solution would be not a second macro but one that does firstly delete the rows and then the columns.
I need code that will check each column from D:P in the " Total" row for a value of Zero. If it finds a zero then delete entire column. This will be the final procedure of a macro that does other formatting things so the number of rows will differ causing the "Total" row to be dynamic. I have the following code that will find the word total, but I don't know how to set the range to offset 1 col each time checking for zero and deleting if true. The word "Total" is merged between columns A:B. see example sheet.
Sub asdf()
Dim c As Variant
Dim Rng As Range
'search the sheet for "Total"
Set c = Cells.Find("Total", lookat:=xlWhole)
'if it is found
If Not c Is Nothing Then
Set Rng = Range(c, c.Offset(0, 3))

How do you make the Autofill function increment in blocks, e.g. instead of increment 1,2,3 increment 1,8,15 inthe following example: I have a 2 worksheets, one with days of the year across columns and values down rows, and another that summarises the sum of the corresponding days in weeks, so I have 365 columns in sheet 1 and 52 columns in sheet2. Everytime I update the sum range i cannot autofill it in the summary worksheet, as A1:G1 autofills to B1:H1, but I want it to increment to H1:N1.

My production spreadsheet has thousands of unwanted columns and I am unsure as to how they appeared. I want to delete them. I have tried selecting all of them and deleting them, but nothing happens. I have tried go to > blanks, but it freezes because there are so many columns.
Also, I tried to copy paste to a new sheet, but the formulas get messed up.
For a mental picture, the spreadsheet is approx 225 rows by 25 columns.
I have two columns of data, one with an ID # and the other one with a date. Some ID# + date combinations are repeated and I need to delete the duplicates. Here is a visual:
ID# date

54 19810512
67 19590312
89 19931104
89 19931104
I need to keep only unique ID/date combinations. I would need the final list to look like this:
ID# Date
54 19720211
54 19810512
67 19590312
89 19931104

I'm trying to create a short script which performs the following:

The problem I have is that although the criteria are being met the row is not being deleted.
