Try to Find and Replace in Formulas in Last Line Data - excel

I need to copy the last line of data, copy it with formulas to the row below it and then do a find and replace on the new last row - I got it to copy the line down but the find and replace isnt working - any tips? Thanks.
Sub CopyLastRowandReplace()
Dim sourceSheet As Worksheet
Dim sourceRange As Range
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim ReplaceRow As Range
Set sourceSheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Book 1")
LastRow = sourceSheet.Range("B" & sourceSheet.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set sourceRange = sourceSheet.Range("B" & LastRow & ":N" & LastRow)
sourceRange.Offset(1).Formula = sourceRange.Formula
Set ReplaceRow = sourceSheet.Range("B" & LastRow & ":N" & LastRow)
Range("B" & LastRow & ":N" & LastRow).Select
Selection.Replace What:="Aug", Replacement:="Sep", LookAt:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
End Sub

Core problems
LookAt:=xlFormulas. Sould be xlPart or xlWhole
You are not Replacing in the New last row (you haven't updated LastRow)
That said, there are other oportunities for improvement too
Sub Demo()
CopyLastRowandReplace ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Book 1"), 2, 13, "Aug", "Sep"
End Sub
Sub CopyLastRowandReplace(sourceSheet As Worksheet, StartColumn As Long, NumColumns As Long, FindValue As Variant, ReplaceValue As Variant)
Dim sourceRange As Range
Set sourceRange = sourceSheet.Cells(sourceSheet.Rows.Count, StartColumn).End(xlUp).Resize(1, NumColumns)
With sourceRange
.Offset(1, 0).Formula = .Formula
.Offset(1, 0).Replace _
What:=FindValue, _
Replacement:=ReplaceValue, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
MatchCase:=True, _
SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
End With
End Sub

VBA loop selection.find

I want to loop or find multiple value in another sheets. My code doesn't work even after I do..loop the code.
For i = 1 To lastrowBAU
Worksheets(fname).Range("A1:A" & lastrowsheet).Select
Do Until Cell Is Nothing
Set Cell = Selection.find(What:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("BAU").Range("A" & i).Value, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
MatchCase:=False)
If Not Cell Is Nothing Then
Cell.Activate
ActiveCell.Copy
ActiveCell.Insert Shift:=xlShiftDown
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.Replace What:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("BAU").Range("A" & i).Value, _
replacement:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("BAU").Range("B" & i).Value, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False
Set Cell = Worksheets(fname).Range("A1:A" & lastrowsheet).FindNext(Cell)
End If
Loop
Next i
You need to set the cell before entering the loop
Set cell = rngSrc.Find(sA, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, _
After:=rngSrc.Cells(rngSrc.Cells.Count), SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False)
If Not cell Is Nothing Then
however you also need to avoid an endless loop by checking if the search has returned to the first one found.
Option Explicit
Sub macro1()
Dim ws As Worksheet, wsBAU As Worksheet
Dim cell As Range, rngSrc As Range
Dim fname As String, lastrow As Long, lastrowBAU As Long
Dim i As Long, n As Long, first As String
Dim sA As String, sB As String
fname = "Sheet1"
With ThisWorkbook
Set ws = .Sheets(fname)
Set wsBAU = .Sheets("BAU")
End With
With ws
lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set rngSrc = .Range("A1:A" & lastrow)
End With
With wsBAU
lastrowBAU = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
End With
With ws
lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set rngSrc = .Range("A1:A" & lastrow)
End With
' search and replace
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = 1 To lastrowBAU
sA = wsBAU.Cells(i, "A")
sB = wsBAU.Cells(i, "B")
Set cell = rngSrc.Find(sA, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, _
After:=rngSrc.Cells(rngSrc.Cells.Count), SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False)
If Not cell Is Nothing Then
first = cell.Address
Do
' insert cell above
cell.Insert xlDown
cell.Offset(-1).Value2 = cell.Value2
cell.Value2 = Replace(cell.Value2, sA, sB)
' expand search range
n = n + 1
Set rngSrc = ws.Range("A1:A" & lastrow + n)
' find next
Set cell = rngSrc.FindNext(cell)
Loop While cell.Address <> first
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
MsgBox n & " replacements", vbInformation

Endless processing and stuck with replace and left

This is about VBA in excel.
I am trying to remove the sign "/" and cut the string length for every cell down to 31 to make those values valid as a name for a new sheet. The constraint is within the first two columns until the last occupied row.
My code compiled, however, it brought me endless processing and I have to task manager-exit every time after running it. Please take a look at it, thank you so much!

Range.Replace doesn't require a loop. You can also use Evaluate instead of the other loop:
Sub replaceSpeCharaAndCutLength()
Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = Sheet1.Cells(Sheet1.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Sheet1.Range("A7:B" & lastRow)
rng.Replace _
What:="/", Replacement:="_", _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, MatchCase:=True
rng.Value = rng.Parent.Evaluate("INDEX(LEFT(" & rng.Address & ",31),)")
End Sub

How to accelerate an Excel VB Macro

I am trying to accelerate my Excel VB Macro.
I have tried the 5 alternatives below.
But I wonder if I could shorten the execution further.
I found 2 alternatives in User Blogs which I could not get to work.
One alternative is also found in a User Blog but do not understand.

Instead of using UsedRange, find the actual Last Row and Last Column and use that range. UsedRange may not be the range that you think it is :). You may want to see THIS for an explanation.
See this example (UNTESTED)
Sub Sample()
Dim wbIn As Workbook, wbOut As Workbook
Dim rSource As Range
Dim lRow As Long, LCol As Long
Dim LastCol As String
Set wbOut = Workbooks.Open("DestinationWorkBook.xlsm")
Set wbIn = Workbooks.Open("SourceWorkBook.xls")
With wbIn.Sheets("SourceSheet")
'~~> Find Last Row
lRow = .Cells.Find(What:="*", _
After:=.Range("A1"), _
Lookat:=xlPart, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False).Row
'~~> Find Last Column
LCol = .Cells.Find(What:="*", _
After:=.Range("A1"), _
Lookat:=xlPart, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False).Column
'~~> Column Number to Column Name
LastCol = Split(Cells(, LCol).Address, "$")(1)
'~~> This is the range you want
Set rSource = .Range("A1:" & LastCol & lRow)
'~~> Get the values across
wbOut.Sheets("DestinationSheet").Range("A1:" & LastCol & lRow).Value = _
rSource.Value

Auto sort to last column

Sorry about the flury of posting, I am trying to finish a project (there always seems to be one more thing)
I am tring to auto sort to last column starting at F2 I have the following but is not working
Thanks
Sub Sort()
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim lastCol As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Sheets("sheet1")
lastRow = ws.Range("F" & ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
lastCol = Cells(2, ws.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
With Sheets("Sheet1")
ws.Range(ws.Range("F2"), ws.Cells(lastRow, lastCol)).Sort _
Key1:=Range("lastCol"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
End With
End Sub
The value for Key1 must be a range. You are trying to use the number that is the last column, and that won't work even if you remove the quotation marks.
Replace Key1:=Range("lastCol")
with Key1:=Cells(2, lastCol)
Note that you can use the GetColumnLetter function I included in my previous answer to get the letter for the lastCol column. If you have the letter, you can use this syntax instead of the Cells version:
Key1:=Range(myCol & 2)
To make sure you know what you are sorting, you can add a little bit of debugging code. You can also use the Immediate window and the Watch window to figure this out.
Replace your entire sub with this:
Sub Sort()
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim lastCol As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Dim sortRng As Range
Set ws = Sheets("sheet1")
lastRow = ws.Range("F" & ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
lastCol = Cells(2, ws.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
Set rng = ws.Range(ws.Range("F2"), ws.Cells(lastRow, lastCol))
Set sortRng = ws.Cells(lastRow, lastCol)
MsgBox "I will sort this range: " & rng.Address & _
" using this column: " & sortRng
rng.Sort Key1:=sortRng, Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
End Sub

Fetching the column data from different sheets and making it as row data in MainSheet

Following is the code to fetch the data from the last column of each sheet and display it in the sheet "MainSheet". Since the last column has merged cells this code also deletes the cells in between
This code displays the data as verical view in the MainSheet and I want to make it horizontal i.e data from the last column of each sheet should be fetched to the rows in the MainSheet and also the merged cells should be taken care of
Sub CopyLastColumns()
Dim cnt As Integer, sht As Worksheet, mainsht As Worksheet, col As Integer, rw As Integer
ActiveSheet.Name = "MainSheet"
Set mainsht = Worksheets("MainSheet")
cnt = 1
For Each sht In Worksheets
If sht.Name <> "MainSheet" Then
sht.Columns(sht.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Columns.Count).Copy
mainsht.Columns(cnt).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
mainsht.Cells(150, cnt) = sht.Range("A2")
cnt = cnt + 1
End If
Next sht
With mainsht
For col = 1 To cnt
For rw = .Cells(65536, col).End(xlUp).row To 1 Step -1
If .Cells(rw, col) = "" Then
.Cells(rw, col).Delete Shift:=xlUp
End If
Next rw
Next col
End With
End Sub
Thanks in advance
This code copies the last column from every sheet and pastes them as rows in the MainSheet keeping the merged cells intact.
