Select range starting at A2 - excel

I found the following code to take the data on the TrialBalance worksheet and convert it into a table. It creates the table and renames it, but the range needs to start at A2 where my table heading are stored.
Sub ConvertTrialBalanceToTable()
Dim wb1 As Workbook
Set wb1 = ActiveWorkbook 'Trial Balance Template File
wb1.Sheets("TrialBalance").Range("A2").CurrentRegion.Select
If ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Count < 1 Then
ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add.Name = ActiveSheet.Name
End If
End Sub

Convert 'CurrentRegion' to Excel Table When Occupied Rows Above or Columns to the Left of First Cell
If the code is in the TrialBalance template file, use ThisWorkbook instead of ActiveWorkbook.
Sub ConvertTrialBalanceToTable()
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("TrialBalance")
If .ListObjects.Count = 0 Then
.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, _
RefCurrentRegion(.Range("A2")), , xlYes).Name = .Name
End If
End With
End Sub

How can we find multiple used range addresses in one sheet?

How can we loop through all cells in a sheet and find multiple used range addresses on this one sheet? In this screen shot we have used ranges of B2:F17, I2:M17, Q2:U17, C19:M34, and Q19:U34. How can I identify these beginning and ending cell addresses of these five used ranges, and print them in an array of cells? I have some sample code that shows the total used range on a sheet.
Sub Vba_Used_Range()
Dim iCell As Range
Dim iRange As Range
Dim c As Long
Dim i As Long
Set iRange = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
For Each iCell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
c = c + 1
If IsEmpty(iCell) = True Then
i = i + 1
End If
Next iCell
MsgBox "There are total " & c & _
" cell(s) in the range, and out of those " & _
i & " cell(s) are empty."
End Sub
Again, how can I print cell addresses for multiple used ranges on one sheet?

Excel VBA Match Split Search String

Is there a way to split a search by each word and compare partial matches in Excel?
For example,
If my table contains:
example test phrase | result1
phrase test two | result2
excluded phrase | result3
If I search with: (Using A1 as the search field)
searchString = "*test phrase*"
searchItem = Application.Match(searchString, Worksheets("Table").Range("A2:A100"), 0)
This returns only result 1, but not result 2 as it is looking for the entire phrase, only in the order it was typed.
With the search string "test phrase" entered, I need result1 AND result2 to return, without including result3. (In this example)
Does Excel/VBA have any built in way to do this?
If you have windows Excel O365, you can do this with a formula:
D6: =FILTER($B$2:$B$100,IFERROR(SEARCH(FILTERXML("<t><s>"&SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","</s><s>")&"</s></t>","//s"),$A$2:$A$100),FALSE))
Note: If you want to return the contents of the matching cell, rather than what wrote in your question, merely change B2:B100 --> A2:A100

List empty cell numbers in a MsgBox

I have code to check empty cells in a range. I need those empty cell numbers to appear in a MsgBox.
Sub IsEmptyRange()
Dim cell As Range
Dim bIsEmpty As Boolean
bIsEmpty = False
For Each cell In Range("B1:B19")
If IsEmpty(cell) = True Then
bIsEmpty = True
Exit For
End If
Next cell
If bIsEmpty = True Then
MsgBox "There are empty cells in your range"
'I NEED THE EMPTY CELLS TO APPEAR IN THE ABOVE MSGBOX
End If
End Sub
Just use:
msgbox Range("B1:B19").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Address
This solution adapts your code.
Dim cell As Range
Dim emptyStr As String
emptyStr = ""
For Each cell In Range("B1:B19")
If IsEmpty(cell) Then _
emptyStr = emptyStr & cell.Address(0, 0) & ", "
Next cell
If emptyStr <> "" Then MsgBox Left(emptyStr, Len(emptyStr) - 2)
If the cell is empty, it stores the address in emptyStr. The if condition can be condensed as isEmpty returns a Boolean.
Please try this code.
Sub ListEmptyCells()
Dim Rng As Range
Dim List As Variant
Dim Txt As String
Set Rng = Range("B1:B19")
On Error Resume Next
List = Rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Address(0, 0)
If Err Then
Txt = "There are no empty cells in" & vbCr & _
"the examined range."
Else
Txt = "The following cells are empty." & vbCr & _
Join(Split(List, ","), vbCr)
End If
MsgBox Txt, vbInformation, "Range " & Rng.Address(0, 0)
Err.Clear
End Sub
It uses Excel's own SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlank), avoiding an error which must occur if this method returns nothing, and presenting the result in a legible format created by manipulating the range address if one is returned.
List blanks via dynamic arrays and spill range reference
Using the new dynamic array possibilities of Microsoft 365 (writing e.g. to target C1:C? in section b))
=$B$1:$B$19=""
and a so called â–ºspill range reference (as argument in the function Textjoin(), vers. 2019+ in section c))
C1# ' note the `#` suffix!
you could code as follows:
Sub TestSpillRange()
With Sheet1
'a) define range
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = .Range("B1:B19")
'b) check empty cell condition and enter boolean values into spill range C1#
.Range("C1").Formula2 = "=" & rng.Address & "="""""
'c) choose wanted values in spill range and connect them to result string
Dim msg As Variant
msg = Evaluate("TextJoin("","",true,if(C1#=true,""B""&row(C1#),""""))")
MsgBox msg, vbInformation, "Empty cells"
End With
End Sub
Find Blank Cells Using 'SpecialCells'
The 2nd Sub (listBlanks) is the main Sub.
The 1st Sub shows how to use the main Sub.
The 3rd Sub shows how SpecialCells works, which on one hand might be considered
unreliable or on the other hand could be used to one's advantage.
After using the 3rd Sub, one could conclude that SpecialCells 'considers' only cells at the intersection of the UsedRange and the 'supplied' range.

Copy, rename and validate success of multiple files and paths in excel

Solution Template SetUp
Been scratching around for the last 5 days here and across the net to find something that works for multiple files. Many a late night/early hours of the morning unsuccessfully piecing together/coding to get a result. Thanks in advance.
The following code is from get-digital-help.com/copyrename-a-file-excel-vba written by Oscar
It works for 1 file, Ive got 8,000 files to do across a deep folder structure so but I'd really like each row to look at a source path, source file name, destination path and destination file:
For each row:
Column A list the source path
Column B lists the source file name
Column C lists to destination path
Column D lists the new file name
Column E writes "Success" or "Fail" validation.
if file name already exists in destination, then "Fail"
If source file doesn't exist, then "Fail"
Nice to have/completely optional!!! :)
Check if source file column A&B exists, = True or False in column F. Where True, then proceed with copy and rename.
If destination file already exist, the fail and column F = duplicate
Leave first row to put in column header names.
Sub CopyRenameFile()
'Dimension variables and declare data types
Dim src As String, dst As String, fl As String
Dim rfl As String
'Save source directory specified in cell A2 to variable src
src = Range("A2")
'Save destination directory specified in cell C2 to variable dst
dst = Range("C2")
'Save file name specified in cell B2 to variable fl
fl = Range("B2")
'Save new file name specified in cell D2 to variable rfl
rfl = Range("D2")
'Enable error handling
On Error Resume Next
'Copy file based on variables src and fl to destination folder based on variable dst and name file based on value in rfl
FileCopy src & "\" & fl, dst & "\" & rfl
'Check if an error has occurred
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
'Show error using message box
MsgBox "Copy error: " & src & "\" & rfl
End If
'Disable error handling
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
Copy Files Using a File List
This solution consists of three procedures. You run only the first: copyRenameFile. The other two, getOffsetColumn and writeOffsetRange are being called by the first, when necessary.
It is best tested with a new workbook. Insert a module and copy the code into it. Now open your original workbook and copy certain values to e.g. Sheet1 of the new workbook. Since the code is written for Thisworkbook (the workbook containing this code), the original workbook will be safe (will not be written to).
First adjust the values in the constants sections (titled Worksheet and Other). Then test the empty worksheet. Then test with one folder in column A then with more and slowly continue testing with other columns. Possible errors should be suppressed and their messages (descriptions) should appear in VBE's Immediate window (CTRL+G).
As a byproduct of this investigation, I've also added the createFolders function to create folders in one case when MkDir 'cannot', and two procedures to test it.

Copy same column from multiple worksheets to new worksheet

I have a workbook with about 20 sheets that has about 130 rows. What I'd like to do is copy column B from each worksheet and paste into either a new worksheet or a new workbook. Either is fine, I've tried both ways and I can seem to get the column B data from each worksheet to be in separate columns.
I have tried the following code and it seems to loop through the sheets but it only retains column B from the last sheet.
Is there a way to modify this code to paste each column B from each worksheet in a new column in the new sheet? I've tried other code snippets from posts here and none seem to do the final task.
Sub CopyColumns()
Dim Source As Worksheet
Dim Destination As Worksheet
Dim Last As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each Source In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Source.Name = "Master" Then
MsgBox "Master sheet already exist"
Exit Sub
End If
Next
Set Destination = Worksheets.Add(after:=Worksheets("summary"))
Destination.Name = "Master"
For Each Source In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Source.Name <> "Master" And Source.Name <> "summary" Then
Last = Destination.Range("A1").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Column
If Last = 1 Then
Source.Range("B4:B129").Copy Destination.Columns(Last)
Else
Source.Range("B4:B129").Copy Destination.Columns(Last + 1)
End If
End If
Next Source
I have also tried the following to no avail
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Set oldcol = ws.Range("B5:B129")
Set newcol = Workbooks("OctTotals.xlsm").Worksheets(1).Columns("B")
oldcol.Copy Destination:=newcol
oldcol.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
WorksheetFunction.Transpose (newcol.Value)
Next ws
Any assistance would be appreciated!
Untested:
Sub CopyColumns()
Dim Source As Worksheet
Dim Destination As Worksheet
Dim rngDest As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each Source In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Source.Name = "Master" Then
MsgBox "Master sheet already exist"
Exit Sub
End If
Next
Set Destination = Worksheets.Add(after:=Worksheets("summary"))
Destination.Name = "Master"
Set rngDest = Destination.Range("A1") '<< for example: first paste location
For Each Source In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Source.Name <> "Master" And Source.Name <> "summary" Then
Source.Range("B4:B129").Copy rngDest
Set rngDest = rngDest.Offset(0, 1) '<< next column over
End If
Next Source
End Sub
Same Column From Multiple Worksheets to New Worksheet
Copy the complete code into a standard module (e.g. Module1).
Carefully adjust the values in the constants section of the Sub.
Only run the Sub. The Function is called by the Sub.
If you need to place the Target Worksheet before another worksheet,
change wb.Worksheets.Add , wb.Worksheets(AfterSheetNameOrIndex) to
wb.Worksheets.Add wb.Worksheets(AfterSheetNameOrIndex).
