Changing column value based on another column using vba in excel - excel

I am trying to create a macro button that will help me update the the value in the AE column to "N" if the value in the same row of the H column is "REPO".
I am not sure why my code doesn't work properly and just seems to select the AE column when I run it instead of changing the values to "N"
Sub Change_Repo_Risk_to_N()
Sheets("expo").Select
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim i As Long
LastRow = Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To LastRow
If Range("H" & i).Value = "REPO" Then
Range("AE" & i).Value = "N"
End If
Next i
End Sub

Probably mistake due to one if these 3:
Lack of Trim()
Lack of UCase() (Option Compare Text is an alternative of this one)
Select() is too slow and does not refer correctly to the worksheet (try to avoid it)
Try this one:
Sub ChangeRepoRiskToN()
With Worksheets("expo")
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim i As Long
lastRow = .Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To lastRow
If Trim(UCase(.Range("H" & i).Value)) = "REPO" Then
.Range("AE" & i).Value = "N"
End If
Next i
End With
End Sub

Using a cell in a loop to define a range in vba. I want to basically delete the row of that cell and the next 3 ones

I'm basically writing a clean up program to make it more straight forward to access data. Anywho, I ran into possibly a nomenclature error. I want to use the "current" cell in a "for" loop to delete that row and the next 3 rows. Code looks something like this:
For Each SingleCell In SingleSheet1.Range("a1:a40")
If SingleCell.Value = "S" Or SingleCell.Value = "B" Then
Range(SingleCell.Range, SingleCell.Range.Offset(4, 0)).EntireRow.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Else
End If
Next
I tried to define the range to delete as specified in the code but it gave me a runtime error
Delete backwards looping trough row number:
Sub EXAMPLE_1()
Dim i As Long
For i = 40 To 1 Step 1
If Range("A" & i).Value = "S" Or Range("A" & i).Value = "B" Then Range("A" & i & ":A" & i + 3).EntireRow.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Next i
End Sub
Sub EXAMPLE_2()
Dim i As Long
Dim LR As Long 'in case last row is not always number 40, adapt it dinamically
LR = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = LR To 1 Step 1
If Range("A" & i).Value = "S" Or Range("A" & i).Value = "B" Then Range("A" & i & ":A" & i + 3).EntireRow.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Next i
End Sub
Your code looses the reference for the deleted rows and you should iterate backwards, if you like iteration between cells (which is slow), but a better/faster solution will be to build a Union range and delete all rows at the code end, at once:
Sub testDeleteOffset()
Dim sh As Worksheet, Urng As Range, i As Long
Set sh = ActiveSheet
For i = 1 To 40
If sh.Range("A" & i).Value = "S" Or sh.Range("A" & i).Value = "B" Then
addToRange Urng, sh.Range("A" & i, "A" & i + 3)
i = i + 4
End If
Next i
If Not Urng Is Nothing Then Urng.EntireRow.Delete xlUp
End Sub
If the involved range is huge, a better solution will be to place some markers for the necessary rows (after last existing column), sort on that marker column and delete the (consecutive marked) rows. Another column with the initial order would be necessary to re-sort according to it at the end... The idea is that building a Union range having more than 1000 areas may become slow.

How do I move specific valued cells in VBA?

I am working with a dataset that contains both numbers and names. In the dataset, some numbers and names are displayed and instead of manually going through thousands of rows I tried to make a script but it doesn´t happen anything.
Here is the code:
Sub MoveCells()
Dim row As Long
For row = 2 To LastRow
If Range("C" & row).Value Like "*0*" Then
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 2
Range("C" & row).Insert Shift:=xlToRight
Next
End If
Next
End Sub
I am trying to move the cell that has a 0 in it, and the cell to the right of it, one step to right.
E.g. Cells C4 & D4 to D4 & E4.
I've made some adjustments to your code which will acheive the outcome you described.
Private Sub MoveCells()
Dim TargetRow As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim ColumnCValue As Variant
Dim ColumnDValue As Variant
With Sheets("Sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).row
End With
For TargetRow = 2 To LastRow
If Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C" & TargetRow).Value Like "*0*" Then
ColumnCValue = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C" & TargetRow).Value
ColumnDValue = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D" & TargetRow).Value
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D" & TargetRow).Value = ColumnCValue
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("E" & TargetRow).Value = ColumnDValue
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C" & TargetRow).ClearContents
End If
Next
End Sub
Now we first assign a value to for LastRow and when the If...Then statement is true, assign the values of Column C and Column D to the respective variables. Then, write those values 1 row to the right and finally clear the contents from Column C.

Insert empty rows in between fields or move entries

I have a list of items in column A (starting from A12) I want to know the best way to do this. I want there to be a 7 row gap between all the entries. These entries will have additions so some code that perhaps says if text here then add 7 rows below until no more. Or is there a way to code it so it just pushes the entries into different fields (7+ down). What would the code look like?
Basic adding row is:
Range("A13").EntireRow.Insert
So, along with #Plutian and his code to insert new rows, I edited this to filldown the new rows with data from each cell that is not blank. Hope this helps.
Sub numberf()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim lastrow As Integer
lastrow = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Do While lastrow > 12
Range("A" & lastrow).EntireRow.Resize(7).Insert
lastrow = lastrow - 1
Debug.Print lastrow
Loop
lastrow = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Dim i As Long
i = 1
For i = 12 To lastrow Step 8
If Cells(i, 1).Value <> "" Then
Range("A" & i).Resize(8).EntireRow.FillDown
End If
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Sub numberf()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim lastrow As Integer
lastrow = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Do While lastrow > 2
Range("A" & lastrow).EntireRow.Resize(7).Insert
lastrow = lastrow - 1
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
As I suggested, a reverse loop that does the trick. Props to #MilesFett with the resize option, as my first idea was to loop 7 times inserting a row. This is much cleaner.

Hide all red cells in Excel

I want to hide all RED cells within a worksheet by pressing on a command button. How can I do this by using a Macro? I also want another button to unhide them. Currently I have the following which isn't working:
Sub HideRow()
Dim i As Long
Dim LASTROW As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
LASTROW = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To LASTROW
If Range("C" & i).Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Then
Range("C" & i).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Thanks,
Are you sure LASTROW is valid, Maybe you mess up columns?
You search last row by Cells(Rows.Count, 2), 2 means column B.
But you check color in column C Range("C" & i)
BTW you could just use Cells(i,3) instead of Range("C" & i)

Excel-VBA: Do a calculation only if cells involve contain values

I have the code that nicely calculates the average I want. But now I want it to only run the calculation if the referenced cells contain values. I am totally stumped on how to feed conditions into my code.
Dim i%
Dim rng As Range
Dim last&
last = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To last
Range("F" & i).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=AVERAGE(R[-4]C[-2],R[-2]C[-2],RC[-2],R[2]C[-2],R[5]C[-2],)"
Next i
End Sub
I tried working with AVERAGEIF, but I can't get it to work either. the range gives me a #Value in the range whenever I try to set it using the function wizard. So I have no idea how to make it work in VBA.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
*Edit - I only want the average line to appear in the cells, but I want to test the cells for values before doing the calculation. (Siddharth, thanks for your answer anyway!) To clarify:
Dim i%
Dim rng As Range
Dim last&
last = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To last
'test for all cells having values here
Range("F" & i).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=AVERAGE(R[-4]C[-2],R[-2]C[-2],RC[-2],R[2]C[-2],R[5]C[-2],)"
Next i
End Sub
***Edit 2: To be more clear as to what I'm looking for, I want something like this:
Dim i%
Dim last&
last = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To last
While Range("D" & i - 4).Value <> "" And Range("D" & i + 4).Value <> ""
Range("F" & i).FormulaR1C1 = _
"AVERAGE(R[-4]C[-2],R[-2]C[-2],RC[-2],R[2]C[-2],R[5]C[-2]))"
Wend
Next i
But my while statement is giving me trouble, as I keep getting an error when I reach that point in the code. I also have tried:
While Range("D" & i - 4 And "D" & i + 4).Value <> ""
Which gives me run time error 13: type mismatch.
If I understand you correctly then you need to check if the number of cells in a range equal the number of filled values. For example
Sub a()
Dim i%
Dim rng As Range
Dim last&
last = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To last
Range("F" & i).FormulaR1C1 = "=if(" & _
"Rows(R[-4]C[-2])+Rows(R[-2]C[-2])+Rows(RC[-2])+Rows(R[5]C[-2])<>" & _
"COUNTA(R[-4]C[-2],R[-2]C[-2],RC[-2],R[2]C[-2],R[5]C[-2],)-2,""Blank""," & _
"AVERAGE(R[-4]C[-2],R[-2]C[-2],RC[-2],R[2]C[-2],R[5]C[-2],))"
Next i
End Sub
