VBA To Search Copied Range For Blank Cells And Remove Them
Jun 18, 2014
In my current sheet, I have a button which pastes the contents of the user's clipboard into cell A20. The data that is being pasted is a simple, single-column range of data that may or my not contain blank cells. When this button is clicked, the user's clipboard should already have data.
Some of these pasted ranges may go from A20:A40, A20:A60, or even A20:A73. The point is, the length of the pasted information is variable.
I am looking for VBA code which can look at the recently pasted range in A20:AX, find blank cells, and remove them. Here is my current code (very simple), which is only the paste function:
VB:
Sub admin_btnPASTE()
' paste_align Macro
' pastes data
On Error Goto Whoa
I'm currently trying to insert the copy range of one worksheet to another. Let's say I have 3 worksheets, one main and two additional info sheet. I want to search column C in main worksheet for blank cell and use column F in the same row as the worksheet name which I want to copy from, then use column E from main worksheet as the keyword for the range I want to copy(range from column E to column Z). But when inserting, I want the keyword in main worksheet such as 'G' in the same row as blank cell to match the 'G' in copied worksheet. Because the 'G' in main worksheet is not in the same column for each row, I try to search the forum but can't find the inserting part. I also attach the example workbook.
I copy and paste large amounts of data using macros. Excel leaves some kind of trace, placeholder or something in the cells that are blank on the original sheet. So all my math calculations are messed up on the destination sheet.
Using GoTo special blanks does not work to select these cells in mass. I know how to loop through all the cells one at a time and check to see if they are "" or have a length of zero and clear them, but these methods take forever.
Below is code I have attempted. I am learning VBA and have gathered this code from the internet and this forum. I have data that is in columns B to E and from row 7 down. I want this VBA code to run when data is copied/pasted in these cells. Where the last values stop will vary so I just want to be sure this code is executed after all the data is pasted in these cells. The data will be pasted at one time. When the user removes the data from these cells, I do not want the code to run.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) 'Do nothing if less than four cells are changed or content deleted If Target.Cells.Count < 4 Or IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub
s/s is 325501 rows deep. Down one column are values but these are seperated by blank cells. I need to omit the blank cells so that all the values appear together, but keep them in the same formation (not sorted).

I'm working with fragmented text inserts within my worksheet.
How can I make this:
,..A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P... 1,.............. Cell filled with text 2,.................................................Cell filled with text 3,.................................Cell filled with text 4,.........Cell filled with text 5,.................................................Cell filled with text 6,.......................Cell filled with text 7,.......................Cell filled with text 8,.......................Cell filled with text 9,...........................................Cell filled with text
look like this:
,..A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P... 1,Cell filled with text 2,Cell filled with text 3,Cell filled with text 4,Cell filled with text 5,Cell filled with text 6,Cell filled with text 7,Cell filled with text 8,Cell filled with text 9,Cell filled with text
Basically, I'm trying to create a macro that will remove the blank indented cells of each row, and return the cell (with text) to column A.
I have a column of cells, some contain text and some do not. The cells which contain txt or are left blank could change on a daily basis.
I'd like Excel to look at the column of cells which contain the data and populate the information into a list on another worksheet without the blank cells, can I do this?
How it looks now: Sheet 1, cells A1:A6 Henry blank blank James blank Bob
What would be sweet: Summary data on Sheet 2, cells A1:A3 Henry James Bob
I have spreadsheet that displays many blank cells. I would like all the information from this sheet (example below) displaying on another spreadsheet but without the blank cells.
On the example below I've shown how I want my sheet3 to look. (Cells B19:I22) The sheet where I want to remove the blanks is Sheet2 B2:AE367
Is this possible using array formulas or macro?

How do I copy a sheet into a new workbook without the formulas referring to the old workbook? For example, formulas end up like this: = SUMIF('[BAS05-07to09.xls]IN'!$B$6:$B$62,101,'[BAS05-07to09.xls]IN'!$E$6:$E$62). I want them to come across as I originally had them, like this: =SUMIF(IN!$B$6:$B$62,101,IN!$E$6:$E$62). here are too many to do it manually each time.
I have a large spreadsheet, within which i am trying to remove commas from all cells. I get the error 'formula is too long' when I carry out the search. Some of the cells are >1024 characters in length and contain dates, text etc.
I have a column of contacts. Each contact has data spread out over many rows, most of which are blank. I would like all of the data spread out through the rows to be in one cell, delineated by commas (so I can import into another program).
Concatenating the cells works except that I end up with 20 commas for two strings of info.
Just so you understand I may have this: Mary red blue yellow purple Rob blue purple Trey yellow
and I want it to look like this
Mary red, blue, yellow, purple Rob blue, purple Trey yellow
I would like to create a macro to search all blank cells within a certain range in multiple worksheets to replace it with a certain blank cell. Essentially i would like to use a special values function to do this.
However, I want to ignore the "" cells and the truly blank cells... However, I think all of them will have "" since I have this formula in all of the ones I'm putting in the range:
[Code]....
How do I go about getting these results into a named range so I can use it on validation since validation only seems to ignore truly blank cells and not the "" ones.
I have a list that I need to move to another column without spaces. I have it moving without spaces but it is only one item over and over again. I am using Excel 2010 and that may be my issue. I have attached the exact worksheet and formula.
But I dont want it to count the cells if the entire row, within that cell, i.e. C6:AD6, is blank.
It should only count the blank cells within a row if there has been some data entered on that row..provided it has been entered within the specified range.
Search column "I" for blank cells. If one is found then all adjacent cells to the left in that row are shifted to the right by one. (in other words for that row cells A-H are shifted right to become cells B-I).

I am using Excel 2010 and basically i am trying to fill a range of cell with a green color if any value was enter in a specific cells. Example: I would like to fill range: A10:c13 with a green color (regardless of the cells content in this range) if a value was entered in cell C10 or C11 or C12 or C13.
I've tried conditional formatting but unfortunately I'll have to apply formatting for every cell and for a range of over hundred cells is not efficient.
I have data in some of the cells within range A26:A39
These cells are populated via an IF function on another worksheet. Even though the cells appear blank (as in the value returned is ""), there is a formula in these cells. I think it's called formula blank?
I am looking for a way to copy the data from the cells within the range which are not blank (ie: not = "") and paste this data elsewhere on the sheet in a list with no blank spaces in between.
I anticipate that there will be 4 non blank cells within this range.
Ideally I would have data from the nonblank cells copied and pasted to cells A40 A41 A42 A43
I'm trying to develop a new daily timesheet for my production workers, where non-production items are recorded in 15 minute intervals. The user would put in "Clock in" by the corresponding time, and the same for "Clock out" at the end of the day. Any non-production items will be type in next to their appropriate time. Since clock in and clock out times will vary, I need to set up a formula that searches the array of cells for the day, finds the "Clock in" and "Clock out" values, and counts any blank cells in between them. Basically the blank cells will equal production time, and the result of the Count function will be multiplied by 0.25 to get the hours.
I am having a very difficult time finding a way to set the "Clock in" and "Clock out" cells as the range for the Count function, because it won't always be the same cells. What would be the best way to automatically have excel find the cells containing these values and set them as the range criteria for a Count function?
The formula at the bottom was one of my initial attempts, but it didn't work. I took out the '=' for the screenshot, so that wasn't the problem.
i currently have the following code set up to look at one cell (named 'TypeSelect'). If that cell = "a" it unhides tab "TAB DETAIL A". If it doesnt = "a" the tab remains hidden. I now want this to search across a range of cells (B2:B7 or using named range 'Category_Select') for "a".
Ultimately the code is to look for any from a list of categories within a range and unhide the relevant tabs if the category is present.
Initially I'm simply copying a data table from a web page using "Ctrl + A" then "Ctrl + C", and then pasting the data straight onto a new worksheet so I can work with it. (After temporarily re-naming the old sheet)
But I keep finding what looks like double-spaces after some of the important text within the Range of cells I'm working with. I need to be able to select & conditional format the values of the text in some columns of the sheet, so need to loose these trailing spaces.
Unfortunately, it's not consistence as to how many spaces trail the text I need. Sometimes it's only one space, sometimes its two spaces ?
So far, I've had mixed success with a recorded "Replace" code but none of the other codes I have found on forum pages either don't work all or seem to give any consistent results. E;g; TRIM, CLEAN
I suspect my problem is, I do not know how to call the code properly, or trying to work with too large a range ?
1. can i limit vlookup on sheet2 to search only a certain range of cells on a sheet1.
example, I want vlookup to look in sheet1, colum A - Y but only look between rows 1 and 100
2. If 1 can be done, and i happen to add a row in worksheet1 (making it 101 rows vice 100) will the vlookup code on sheet2 include that 101st row or do i have to redo the range manualy.
