Working in Excel VBA.
I'm trying to delete a cell, if there is a date in another cell via VBA.
Or another way to put it, I'm trying to delete a cell, if another cell has ANYthing in it. (As it's either a date, or not.)
Here's my code - I just don't know how to recognise any date in the cell.
Sub Upload1ClearADP()
Dim LastRow As Long, x As Long
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For x = 2 To LastRow
If Cells(x, "G").Value = "Date" Then
Cells(x, "U").ClearContents
End If
Next x
End Sub
You're currently checking for a string Date, not technically an actual date.
Here's your code written to check if it's a date OR is empty:
Sub Upload1ClearADP()
Dim LastRow As Long, x As Long
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For x = 2 To LastRow
If IsDate(Cells(x, "G").Value) or Cells(x, "G") <> "" Then
Cells(x, "U").ClearContents
End If
Next x
End Sub
Edit: As #Harun24HR points out in the comments, the IsDate() is unnecessary, since you check if the cell is not empty (<> ""). I just wanted to put it there to introduce the IsDate() function.
Edit 2: You can also use SpecialCells() to do the clearing in one line:
Sub Upload1ClearADP()
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Dim dataRng As Range
Set dataRng = Range(Cells(2, "G"), Cells(LastRow, "G"))
' Use 14 because it's 14 columns to the right from
' Column G to U
dataRng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).Offset(0, 14).ClearContents
' If you have formulas *and* constants in column G, use:
' Union(dataRng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants), _
' dataRng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas)).Offset(0,14).ClearContents
End Sub

I have the below code where in all other columns there is many populated rows, what I need this formula to do in column F is to find the first blank, then place the formula in it and fill it down to the last row.
What is currently happening is I have the range as F26 as this is usually first blank but this could change and I want the code to identify this and also have the formula dynamically know what row it is on, so for example if one month the first blank was in cell F30 the range would find it and the formula would start as E30*G30.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Private Sub calc()
Dim lastrow As Long
Dim rng As Range
lastrow = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Indiv").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = Range("F26:F" & lastrow)
rng.Formula = "=Round((E26*G26),2)"
End Sub
You need to find the first free row in column F and then bulid your formula with this row:
Option Explicit
Private Sub calc()
Dim ws As Worksheet ' define worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Indiv")
Dim LastRowA As Long ' find last used row in column A
LastRowA = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Dim FirstFreeRowF As Long ' find first free row in column F (if first 2 rows have data)
FirstFreeRowF = ws.Cells(1, "F").End(xlDown).Row + 1
' fix issue if first or second row is empty
If FirstFreeRowF = ws.Rows.Count + 1 Then
If ws.Cells(1, "F").Value = vbNullString Then
FirstFreeRowF = 1
ElseIf ws.Cells(2, "F").Value = vbNullString Then
FirstFreeRowF = 2
End If
End If
' define range to add formula
Dim Rng As Range
Set Rng = ws.Range("F" & FirstFreeRowF, "F" & LastRowA)
' add formula
Rng.Formula = "=Round((E" & FirstFreeRowF & "*G" & FirstFreeRowF & "),2)"
End Sub
So this will consider F5 the first free row and fill in the formula in the selected range as seen below:
I think you should find the last used row in column F, so that you could know the next row is blank
lastrowF=sheets(sheetname).range("F" & rows.count).end(xlup).row
So the next row would be like
range("F" & lastrowF+1).formula="Round((E" & lastrowF+1 & "*G" & lastrowF+1 & ",2)"
I'm looking to update a cell on a sheet when it's left empty. If there is data in column B but not in column AA, I need to insert something into column AA.
I have made the following code but have failed to make it update the cell:
Range("B2").Select
Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
Dim LoopRowNo As Integer
LoopRowNo = ActiveCell.Row
If IsEmpty(Range(Cells(LoopRowNo, 26))) Then Range(Cells(LoopRowNo, 26)).Value = "01/01/1990"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Use Range or Cells, but not both.
Don't Select.
With ActiveSheet
Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
Dim i As Long
For i = 2 to lastRow
If IsEmpty(.Cells(i, "AA")) And Not IsEmpty(.Cells(i, "B")) Then
.Cells(i, "AA").Value = "01/01/1990"
End If
Next
End With
I've seen similar posts out there but not quite the same and seem to be confused on the results I'm getting...
I essentially need to de-dupe a column on LIKE words, so it's somewhat straightforward but apparently not as easy as I thought.
I have a dataset like soo...
When I run my macro it removes rows (as I intended), but doesn't seem to remove all the rows or the wrong rows...
It actually removes the highlighted/yellow rows
I was thinking it should actually remove something like the bottom rows.. where it would keep "aerospace" but remove "aerospace 2019", since the 2019 is kinda redundant and not applicable to me.
My macro is simple, but I thought it would do the trick... what am I doing wrong?
Sub container()
Dim ws As Worksheet, rw As Long, col As Long, i As Long
Set ws = ActiveSheet 'or whatever
i = 2
'For col = 2 To 5 'placeholder in case multiple columns are needed - remove Set col above
For rw = 2 To ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row 'from row 1 til last non-empty row
v = ws.Cells(rw, 2).Value 'set range
If Cells(i, 2).Value Like v Then 'determine if the cell contains the value of the word
Cells(i, 2).EntireRow.Delete 'delete
i = i + 1
End If
Next rw
'Next col
End Sub
After Ron's post I was able to create the below, but appears I'm still stuck. I think I've just been looking at this too long.
Sub container()
Dim ws As Worksheet, rng As Range, i As Long, rw As Long
Set ws = ActiveSheet 'or whatever
Set rng = ws.Range("B2:B" & ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row) 'set array range
i = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For rw = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlDown).Row To 2
v = ws.Cells(rw, 2).Value
If InStr(1, v, rng) > 0 Then
cell.EntireRow.Delete
i = i - 1
End If
Next rw
End Sub
I have a spreadsheet that has columns from A5 to AA5 and has data from A6 to AA10000. In cells A1, a user inputs a value, in cell A2 is a drop box that contains the headers of columns X to AA (A, B, C, D), and in A3 I have a dropdown of logical operators (<,>,<>,=). I'm trying to write a script that goes through columns X to AA and remove the cells that met a criteria that a user sets, e.g. user inputs a value of 300, a header "B" and a logical operator "<" and the macro goes through column Y which has the header "B" and deletes all values that are less than 300, the deletes the row from A to AA.
So far I've attempted this:
Sub removedata()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Dim headerval As Variant
Dim sign As Variant
Dim inputval As Variant
Dim b_header As Range
Dim Cell As Range
Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set rng = ws.Range("X5:AA5000")
Set b_header = ws.Range("X5:X5000")
inputval = cells(1, 1).Value
headerval = cells(2, 1).Value
sign = cells(3, 1).Value
For Each Cell In b_header.cells
If (headerval = "B") And (sign = "<") And (inputval < Cell.Value) Then
Cell.Delete
End If
Next Cell
End Sub
I've only attempted it for B column as a test to see whether or not I could get something to happen. When I run this Macro, it just buffers for a second and then nothing else happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: Actually I realised it deletes the values that are greater than the input (Cell A1), however it only deletes a few of them each time I run it, it also moves the cells below it to its position.
The COUNTIF/COUNTIFS worksheet function accepts and interprets criteria as strings. You can use with Evaluate or directly through an application object.
Option Explicit
Sub delSpecial()
Dim lr As Long, i As Long, c As String, cl As Long
With Worksheets("sheet6")
c = .Cells(3, "A").Value & .Cells(1, "A").Value
cl = Application.Match(.Cells(2, "A").Value, .Rows(5), 0)
lr = Application.Max(.Cells(.Rows.Count, "X").End(xlUp).Row, _
.Cells(.Rows.Count, "Y").End(xlUp).Row, _
.Cells(.Rows.Count, "Z").End(xlUp).Row, _
.Cells(.Rows.Count, "AA").End(xlUp).Row)
For i = lr To 6 Step -1
If CBool(Application.CountIf(.Cells(i, cl), c)) Then
.Cells(i, "A").Resize(1, 27).Interior.Color = vbYellow
'.Rows(i).EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next i
End With
End Sub
I'm at a loss on this and need some help. I've lurked around at answers and have Frankensteined together some code for a macro but it just isn't working.
Here is part of what I have so far:
With ActiveSheet
Firstrow = 1
Lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For lrow = Lastrow To Firstrow Step -1
With .Cells(lrow, "G")
Range("G1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(ISNUMBER(RC[1]),RC[1],RC[-1])"
End With
Next lrow
End With
I have a very similar block of code before this that deletes crap from the text files I'm importing and it works perfectly through all the number of rows. When I run the same thing with this formula, it only puts the formula in G1 and doesn't cycle through the rest of the sheet. I've tried this and it works, but copies down through all million plus rows:
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(ISNUMBER(RC[1]),RC[1],RC[-1])"
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("G:G")
I've tried this and then run the same code that gets rid of the text file crap but I get an error "End If without block If".
To fill the formula in one cell at a time you need to cycle through them; don't keep relying on the ActiveCell property.
With ActiveSheet
Firstrow = 1
Lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For lrow = Lastrow To Firstrow Step -1
.Cells(lrow, "G").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(ISNUMBER(RC[1]),RC[1],RC[-1])"
Next lrow
End With
But you can speed things up by putting the formula into all of the cells at once.
With ActiveSheet
Firstrow = 1
Lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
With .Range(.Cells(Firstrow, "G"), .Cells(Lastrow, "G"))
.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(ISNUMBER(RC[1]),RC[1],RC[-1])"
End With
End With

Another version, to dynamically select the columns based on their titles. Comments included.
Dim row As Range
Dim cell As Range
Static value As Integer
'Set row numbers
'Find the starting row. Located using Title of column "Start" plus whatever number of rows.
Dim RowStart As Long
Set FindRow = Range("A:A").Find(What:="Start", LookIn:=xlValues)
RowStart = FindRow.row + 1
'End of the range. Located using a "finished" cell
Dim RowFinish As Long
Set FindRow = Range("A:A").Find(What:="Finished", LookIn:=xlValues)
RowFinish = FindRow.row - 1
'Set range - Goes Cells(Rownumber, Columnnumber)
'Simply ammend RowStart and RowFinish to change which rows you want.
' In your case you need to change the second column number to paste in horizontally.
Set rng = Range(Cells(RowStart, 1), Cells(RowFinish, 1))
'Start the counter from the starting row.
value = RowStart
For Each row In rng.Rows
For Each cell In row.Cells
'Insert relevant formula into each cell in range.
cell.Formula = _
"=IF(ISNUMBER(RC[1]),RC[1],RC[-1])"
'Increment row variable.
value = value + 1
Next cell
Next row
