Search for a column name and paste data - excel

I want to paste the formula into a column by searching the column using its name.
My column name is Date1.
I want to find Date1 in my sheet and paste the following formula:
IF(ISBLANK(B5),"""",IF(ISBLANK(O5)=TRUE,""Missing PSD"",TODAY()-O5))
This should be calculated until the last row of Date1 column.
Kindly share any knowledge you have on this, it'd be very helpful.
Sub FillFormula()
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Dim sh As Worksheet, lastRow As Long
Set sh = wb.Worksheets("Sheet1")
lastRow = sh.Range("O" & Rows.count).End(xlUp).Row 'chosen O:O column, being involved in the formula...
sh.Range("AC5:AC" & lastRow).Formula = "=IF(ISBLANK(B5),"""",IF(ISBLANK(O5)=TRUE,""Missing PSD"",TODAY()-O5))"
lastRow2 = sh.Range("R" & Rows.count).End(xlUp).Row
sh.Range("AD5:AD" & lastRow).Formula = "=IF(ISBLANK(B5),"""",IF(ISBLANK(R5)=TRUE,""Missing RSD"",TODAY()-R5))"
End Sub
This is the code I am currently using and it works properly but my columns might change so I do not want to use the column character but instead the column name to paste the data into the correct column.

Try the next code, please. It still calculates the last row based on O:O column. If the column "Date1" has already formulas to be overwritten, I can easily adapt the code to use it:
Sub FillFormulaByHeader()
Dim wb As Workbook, sh As Worksheet, lastRow As Long, celD As Range
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set sh = wb.Worksheets("Sheet1")
'Find the header ("Date1"):
Set celD = sh.Range(sh.Range("A1"), sh.cells(, cells(1, Columns.count).End(xlToLeft).Column)).Find("Date1")
If celD Is Nothing Then MsgBox "Nu such header could be found...": Exit Sub
lastRow = sh.Range("O" & rows.count).End(xlUp).row 'it can be easily changed for column with Date1 header
sh.Range(sh.cells(5, celD.Column), sh.cells(lastRow, celD.Column)).Formula = _
"=IF(ISBLANK(B5),"""",IF(ISBLANK(O5)=TRUE,""Missing PSD"",TODAY()-O5))"
End Sub

For simplicity, let's assume you have Headers in Row1. We now need to find out which column our Date1 Value is in. We can do this by simply looping over the Header Range an check if the Value equals "Date1". Now we can use this information to construct the final Range.
Sub FindDate1()
Dim c As Range
Dim date1Column as integer
Dim finalRange As Range
For Each c In Range("A1:Z1")
If c.Value = "Date1" Then
date1Column = c.Column
Exit For
End If
Next c
If date1Column = 0 Then
'in case "Date1" was not found
Exit Sub
Else
Set finalRange = Range(Cells(2, date1Column), Cells(2, date1Column).End(xlDown))
For Each c In finalRange
c.Formula = "=IF(ISBLANK(B" & c.Row & "),"""",IF(ISBLANK(O" & c.Row & ")=TRUE,""Missing PSD"",TODAY()-O" & c.Row & "))"
Next c
End If
End Sub

Formula in first blank and filled down to end of data

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)"

copy-Paste a range data as many time as there are headers name starting with "X"

I've been trying to find a solution for that problem but nothing came up.
Here is the problem I've got. I would like to copy a variable data range from a sheet called ("Amounts") starting in range "C3" to an other sheet called ("Pasted Amounts") in range F2 as many time as columns, in sheets "Amounts" are starting with the following value " Amounts in USD".
I've been coding something but it doesn't work... I put a counter in a cell to count how many time there are columns starting with the value " Amounts in USD" in order to pick the value appearing in that cell and repeat the paste process. But I've been complicated the code I guess...
Here is my code;
Dim cel2 As Range
Dim counter as Integer
With Sheets("Amounts")
Worksheets("Amounts").Activate
For Each cel2 In Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlToRight))
If cel2.Value Like "Amount in USD*" Then
counter = counter + 1
Range("U4").Value = counter
End If
With Worksheets("Pasted Amounts").Activate
'~Here is bellow the column named " clients name" I want to paste in "Pasted amounts" sheet (by coping it in the sheet "Amounts"
worksheets("Amounts").Range("C3",range("C3").end(xldown).Select
'~ Paste the range copied in sheet " Pasted Amount" as many time the counter value is
.Copy Range("F2").Resize(.Count * counter)
End With
Next cel2
End With
End sub
Once again, I'd appreciate so much your help...

Sub test()
Dim LastColumn As Long, LastRow As Long, counter as Long
With Sheets("Amounts")
LastColumn = .Cells(1, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
counter = WorksheetFunction.CountIf(.Range("A1", .Cells(1, LastColumn)), "Amount in USD*")
.Range("C3:C" & LastRow).Copy _
Worksheets("Pasted Amounts").Range("F2").Resize(.Range("C3:C" & LastRow).Count * counter)
End With
End Sub
Or as a silly long one line of code:
Sub test()
Sheets("Amounts").Range("C3:C" & Sheets("Amounts").Cells(Sheets("Amounts").Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row).Copy Worksheets("Pasted Amounts").Range("F2").Resize(Sheets("Amounts").Range("C3:C" & Sheets("Amounts").Cells(Sheets("Amounts").Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row).Count * WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Sheets("Amounts").Range("A1", Sheets("Amounts").Cells(1, Sheets("Amounts").Cells(1, Sheets("Amounts").Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column)), "Amount in USD*"))
End Sub
Alright I found the solution!
Thank you again Siddharth and Christofer, your answers helped me a lot to think further...
Here is the solution that worked really well! I used the answer in the previous post I made here:link and added a single line code to paste as many time the range of datas as" Amounts in USD " was found in the previous sheet.
Sorry again for those misunderstandings. I hope that my answer would help you and the other users in need!
Here it is;
Sub Sample()
Dim wsInput As Worksheet
Dim wsOutput As Worksheet
Dim lRowInput As Long
Dim lRowOutput As Long
Dim lCol As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim Col As String
'~~> Set your sheets here
Set wsInput = Sheets("Amounts")
Set wsOutput = Sheets("Pasted Amounts")
With wsInput
'~~> Find last column in Row 2
lCol = .Cells(2, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
'~~> Loop through columns
For i = 1 To lCol
'~~> Check for your criteria
If .Cells(2, i).Value2 Like "Amount in functional currency*" Then
'~~> Get column name
Col = Split(.Cells(, i).Address, "$")(1)
'~~> Get the last row in that column
lRowInput = .Range(Col & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'~~> Find the next row to write to
If lRowOutput = 0 Then
lRowOutput = 2
Else
lRowOutput = wsOutput.Range("A" & wsOutput.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
End If
'~~> Copy the datas ( for each column where Amounts in USD was found)
.Range(Col & "3:" & Col & lRowInput).Copy _
wsOutput.Range("A" & lRowOutput)
~~> SOLUTION BELLOW-Copy the variable data range ("C3")
Worksheets("Amounts").Activate
.Range("C3", Range("C3").End(xlDown)).Copy wsOutput.Range("F" & lRowOutput)
End If
Next i
End With
End Sub

Excel VBA offset function

I have an Excel file with information in column A and column B. Since these columns could vary in the number of rows I would like to use the function offset so that I could print the formula in one time as an array rather than looping over the formula per cell (the dataset contains almost 1 million datapoints).
My code is actually working the way I want it to be I only can't figure out how to print the code in Range(D1:D5). The outcome is now printed in Range(D1:H1). Anybody familiar how to use this offset within a for statement?
Sub checkOffset()
Dim example As Range
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Long
Set sht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
LastRow = sht.Cells(sht.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set example = Range("A1:A1")
For i = 1 To LastRow
example.Offset(0, i + 2).Formula = "=SUM(A" & i & ":B" & i & ")"
Next i
End Sub
Using the Offset(Row, Column), you want to offset with the increment of row (i -1), and 3 columns to the right (from column "A" to column "D")
Try the modified code below:
Set example = Range("A1")
For i = 1 To LastRow
example.Offset(i - 1, 3).Formula = "=SUM(A" & i & ":B" & i & ")"
Next i
One way of outputting the formula in one step, without looping, to the entire range, is to use the R1C1 notation:
Edit: Code modified to properly qualify worksheet references
Option Explicit
Sub checkOffset()
Dim example As Range
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Long
Set sht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
With sht
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set example = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(LastRow, 1))
End With
example.Offset(columnoffset:=3).FormulaR1C1 = "=sum(rc[-3],rc[-2])"
End Sub
You don't need to use VBA for this. Simply type =sum(A1:B1) in cell D1 and then fill it down.
If you're going to use VBA anyway, use this:
Sub checkOffset()
Dim example As Range
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Long
Set sht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
LastRow = sht.Cells(sht.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set example = Range("A1:A1")
For i = 1 To LastRow
example.Offset(i - 1, 3).Formula = "=SUM(A" & i & ":B" & i & ")"
Next i
End Sub
The way offset works is with row offset, column offset. You want the column to always be fixed at 3 to the right.

Can I insert a variable into a string?

I'm trying to make a program in the Excel VBA that inserts a formula into a column of cells. This formula changes based on the contents of the cell directly to the left.
This is the code I have written so far:
Sub Formula()
Dim colvar As Integer
colvar = 1
Dim Name As String
Name = "Sample, J."
Do While colvar <= 26
colvar = colvar + 1
Name = Range("B" & colvar).Value
Range("C" & colvar).Value = "='" & Name & "'!N18"
Loop
End Sub
As you can see, I want to insert the variable Name between the formula strings, but Excel refuses to run the code, giving me a "application-defined or object-defined error."
Is there a way to fix this?
You will need some error checking in case the sheets don't actually exist in the workbook.
it looks like you are looping through column B that has a list of sheet names and want range N18 to display next to it.
Something like
Sub Button1_Click()
Dim Lstrw As Long, rng As Range, c As Range
Dim Name As String
Lstrw = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = Range("B1:B" & Lstrw)
For Each c In rng.Cells
Name = c
c.Offset(, 1) = "='" & Name & "'!N18"
Next c
End Sub
Or you can just list the sheets and show N18 next to it, run this code in a Sheet named "Sheet1"
Sub GetTheSh()
Dim sh As Worksheet, ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1")
For Each sh In Sheets
If sh.Name <> ws.Name Then
ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1) = sh.Name
ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(0, 1) = sh.Range("N18")
End If
Next sh
End Sub
Thank you to everyone for your help! I actually found that I had just made a silly error: the line Do While colvar<=26 should have been Do While colvar<26. The cells were being filled, but the error manifested because one cell was being filled by a nonexistent object.
I did decide to use the .Formula modifier rather than .Value. Thank you to Jeeped for suggesting that.

Vba comparing then copying two different Sheets

I realize there are a few different similar ideas on here. But I need help with this simple compare function.
My goal is to compare two different cells and if they are the same, replace it with its full non-abbreviated name.
Thank you for your time!!!
I.E
Sheet1 Sheet2
Column H Column A Column B
Dept Dept Department
This is what I have (Yes simple), but the cell H is not updating to the non-abbreviation:
Sub updateDeptNames()
'Format user ID from the email column
Dim ws As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Long, i As Long
Dim tmpArray() As String, tempDept As String
Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Student_Travel_DB") '--> This is the relevant sheet
Set ws2 = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("gokoutd") '--> This is the relevant sheet
LastRow = 1000 ''Bug finding the last row, had to hard code it
For i = 2 To LastRow 'Iterate through all the rows in the sheet
For j = 2 To 112
tempDept = ws2.Range("A" & j).Value
If ws.Range("H" & i).Value = tempDept Then
ws.Range("H" & i) = ws2.Range("B" & j).Value
End If
Next j
Next i
End Sub
You can more easily use VLOOKUP either on your worksheet or with VBA:
Sub GetFullName()
Dim cl As Range, data As Range, lookUpRng As Range
Set data = Worksheets("Student_Travel_DB").Range("A1:A10")
Set lookUpRng = Worksheets("gokoutd").Range("A1:B10")
On Error Resume Next
For Each cl In data
cl = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(cl, lookUpRng, 2, False)
Next cl
End Sub
You'll need to change your range references.
