I am trying to write a macro which only calls a function for every third cell within a range.
Currently I have the following:
Sub CallFormula()
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Range("startcell:end:cell")
With rng
For i = Range.Columns("G13") To Range.Columns("endcell")
Columns(i).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas).Select
Call formula()
Next i
End With
End Sub()
The range starts with startcell and ends with endcell and is basically a rectangle. I want to loop through every column starting from column G (which is the 2nd column after startcell).
The problem is that I only want to call the function on rows within this range. However, the function is executed on all cells that have a formula in every third column after column G. I thought using With would fix it, but it does not.
Any solutions?
Thank you!

I would like to copy entire rows from mutliple sheets to a target sheet.
But I would like to start the row copy from column B of the target sheet.
I tried
Sheet1.Range("13:32").EntireRow.Copy Sheet5.Range("2:21")
that works fine but starts from column A of target sheet, sheet5 ;
I then tried
Sheet1.Range("13:32").EntireRow.Copy Sheet5.Range("B2:21")
but gives an error.
Can you please help?
Thanks a lot,
Electra
EntireRow will always return ... well ... the entire row!
Therefore you receive an error on the second row - as there are too many cells to be inserted.
You have to resize the range using this function - it will reduce the range by one column and then offsets it to start at the second column.
Public Function resizeRowToStartFromColumnB(rg As Range) As Range
Dim rgResized As Range
With rg
Set rgResized = .Resize(, .Columns.Count - 1).Offset(, 1)
End With
Set resizeRowToStartFromColumnB = rgResized
End Function
Within your code you could use it like:
resizeRowToStartFromColumnB(Sheet1.Range("13:32")).Copy Sheet5.Range("B2")
I am using excel userform to input the data. I want for Columns C2:F2, if the user has not inputted any number in it, excel should convert these blanks into 0. And I want it to repeat for the next row when the data for next row is inputted. I tried some simple coding but it didn't work.
Public Sub BlankCells()
Dim rng As Range
rng = Range("C2:C1000", "D2:D1000", "E2:E1000", "F2:F1000")
For Each cell In rng
If cell = "" Then cell.Value = "0"
Next cell
Find
End Sub
It works if use coding for single row only i.e. "C2:F2", but i want it repeat for the next rows as well when the next row gets the data.
When you create a variable for sheet or range, you need to use the Set keyword like this:
Set rng = Range("C2:F1000")
If you'd like to refer to multiple ranges, you can add all the ranges as one comma separated string
I have no experience with VBA and would love some help. As the title indicates, I'm looking for a script that fills a certain number of blank cells within column G with the average of all nonblank cells within that same range (e.g. fill all blank cells in G16:G59 with the average of all nonblank cells within G16:G59).
To make things more complicated, I'd need to vary the range somewhat dynamically as I wouldn't be sure as to how many rows I'd need to apply this script to and a work colleague who would be using this script might not have any experience with VBA either... The easiest solution I can think of is to have another cell contain the name of the last row in the range, or something like this: "Fill all blank cells in G16:Gx with the average of all nonblank cells within G16:Gx, where x = the row name listed in cell G12". Within G12 I'd have a text that states the last row to define the range, e.g. cell G12 contains the text "G80", which makes the range within the script to read G16:G80.
I know I'm asking for a lot, so if you can even just provide guidance on the first bit, I'd be very grateful! Thank you in advance for your time.
I think we can all remember what it was like when we first started out with VBA coding – which is why I’m helping you here. Normally, you’d be lucky to get any assistance with your question without providing at least some code & a description where it wasn’t doing what you wanted. Using the Record Macro button is always a good place to start.
Assumptions made here are that the data is on “Sheet1” in your file, and that there is a value in the last cell in Column G in the range you’re interested in. If that isn’t the case, let me know and I’ll show an alternative method to find the last row.
I’ve added descriptions about what (most) code does in each case to help you understand what’s going on. Let me know how you go with it.
Option Explicit '<~~ get in the habit of putting this at the top of your code
Sub FillInBlanks()
Dim ws As Worksheet '<~~ declare all variables
Dim LastRow As Long '<~~ use Long not Integer
Dim cel As Range '<~~ use intuitive variable names
Dim avg As Double '<~~ Double used here if you want decimal places in the average
Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1") '<~~ be explicit with sheet references
'Best practice to determine last used row in column
LastRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, "G").End(xlUp).Row '<~~ finds the last used row in column G
'Calculate the average & assign it to the variable "avg"
avg = Application.Average(ws.Range("G16:G" & LastRow))
'Loop through each cell in the defined range - one at a time
For Each cel In ws.Range("G16:G" & LastRow)
If cel = "" Then '<~~ = If the cell is blank, then...
cel = avg '<~~ ...put the average value (avg) in the cell
cel.Font.Color = RGB(51, 102, 0) '<~~ change color to suit
End If
Next cel '<~~ go to the next cell in the range
End Sub
I have populated an array with five values. The values were pulled from cells elsewhere in the spreadsheet. How do I find the average of all nonzero values?
I tried a for-next loop, but couldn't skip the zero values without another conditional statement. I assume there is a dedicated command for it. Thanks in advance!
Dim varIncome as variant
varIncome = Application.Transpose(Range("B3:B7").Value)
Try this (note: I didn't use the varIncome variable as it didn't seem necessary in order to get a result):
Sub avgNonZeroNumbers()
'Declare:
Dim rng As Range
'Initialize:
Set rng = Sheet3.Range("B3:B7") 'Change Sheet3 to your actual sheet's code name
' Print result to the Immediate window
Debug.Print WorksheetFunction.AverageIf(rng, "<>0")
End Sub
IMPORTANT EDIT: The main issue here is caused by hidden merged cells that are causing the entirity of their active range to be selected. Unless you know a way how to dynamically skip merged cells (in a dynamic range), the it most likely won't help. Have changed the entirity of question accordingly
any idea what am I doing wrong?
Got the following code, fyi the function find_last_row returns the value of last active row as integer. In this case, the returned variable would be 40
Private Sub initalize_button_Click()
Dim lastRow As Integer
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = Sheets("Training_Planner")
lastRow = find_last_row
With ws
.Activate
.Range("E5:H" & lastRow).Select
End With
End Sub
Pretty basic code, should open the worksheet Training_Planner and select from E5 to HlastRow (in this case lastRow is 40) so the selected range should be E5:H40
Here is the expected result:
What I get instead:
Curiously enough, it selects only active range, but it's as if it didn't pay attention to columns, instead of the expected E5:H40 i get B5:I40
Any idea what's causing this?
Ok, first of all, if your range is gonna start always as E5, your range is 50% dinamic, because it starts always in same column and same row. Your Range is (Cells(a,b),Cells(c,d)), this means a = 5 and b = 5 (Column E).
Also, you say and Inputbox asks users for end cell of range (in your example is H40, but this is dynamic).
So, my code checks EVERY SINGLE cell in the range formed, and then, using Application.UnionI set a final big range. We cannot just use an array to select all of them, because your range is dynamic, and selecting ranges with arrays is limited to 30 args, so we need to update our FinalRange for each cell.
Dim MyCell As Range
Dim RangeWanted As Range
Dim MyFinalRange As Range
Set RangeWanted = Range("E5:" & InputBox("Cell Address")) 'User inputs Final Cell of Range. Start is always E5
'let's get all invididual addresses of each cell inthat dynamic RangeWanted
For Each MyCell In RangeWanted
If MyCell.MergeCells = False Then 'If not merged, we add it to FinalRange
If MyFinalRange Is Nothing Then
Set MyFinalRange = MyCell
Else
Set MyFinalRange = Application.Union(MyFinalRange, MyCell)
End If
End If
Next MyCell
Set RangeWanted = Nothing
MyFinalRange.Select
With this code, from Range("E5:H40") in image,yellow cells are merged. I want to select only the not merged ones. And using this code, I get this:
My example is with Range("E5:H40") but it works also with other ranges.
Try it and adapt the code to your needs.
Whenever something small like this is happening, simply try to simplify as much as you can. In your case, it would be this:
Sub TestMe()
Worksheets("Training_Planner").Range("E5:H40").Select
End Sub
If it selects E5:H40 then everything is ok. If not, try to select it manually. Probably you have a hidden row, which is merged from B to I, thus it is happenning this way.
Instead of this:
.Range("E5:H" & lastRow).Select
Try going with this:
.Range("E5", (Cells(Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp))).Select
It count all the rows "H" has and then goes up until it finds the first item. And it will then select from "E1" to last item in "H"
