How to fix 'not copying an range to new row' - excel

I am trying to create an save button that will copy/paste the previous answer to a new row. But not just one, I want it to save up as many as you can, listing them below each other.
It is just for a school project, to make a master cheat sheet.
Private Sub Save1_Click()
Dim rA5 As Range
Set rA5 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A5:E5")
Dim rA7 As Range
Set rA7 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A7:E7")
If (Range("rA7").Value <> "") Then
If (Range("rA7").Offset(1).Value <> "") Then
Set rA7 = rA7.End(xlDown)
End If
Set rA7 = rA7.Offset(1)
End If
rA7.Value = rA5.Value
End Sub
It only pastes the A5:E5 to A7:E7.
It doesn't go down after that to A8:E8, A9:E9 (and so on)

As per your comment on your own question, it looks like you want the newly calculated value on the top line, and the rest pushed down a line. If that is right, then #Error1004 answer won't work as it sticks your values on the end. The following is his code with an added reverse loop which will stick your new value on the top line and push it down:
Sub test()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim i As Integer
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
'Check if there is a value in A5
If .Range("A5").Value <> "" Then
'Copy range("A5:E5")
.Range("A5:E5").Copy
'If range A7 is empty
If .Range("A7").Value = "" Then
.Range("A7:E7").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Else
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
i = LastRow
Do While i > 7
.Range("A" & (i + 1) & ":E" & (i + 1)).Value = .Range("A" & i & ":E" & i).Value
i = i - 1
Loop
.Range("A7:E7").Value = .Range("A5:E5").Value
End If
Else
MsgBox "There is no available data to be save."
End If
End With
End Sub
Credit to #Error1004 as I cannibalised his answer for this code.

You could try:
Option Explicit
Sub test()
Dim LastRow As Long
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
'Check if there is a value in A5
If .Range("A5").Value <> "" Then
'Copy range("A5:E5")
.Range("A5:E5").Copy
'If range A7 is empty
If .Range("A7").Value = "" Then
.Range("A7:E7").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Else
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
.Range(.Cells(LastRow + 1, "A"), .Cells(LastRow + 1, "E")).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
End If
Else
MsgBox "There is no available data to be save."
End If
End With
End Sub

How to create a textjoin worksheet function with dynamic range

I have data where I have many column headers. One of the header is "Text" and one other header is "Value Date". I want to combine the values contained in every row between these columns in another column row-wise.
The problem is the number of columns between these two headers is not constant. It changes with every new ledger I export. So I want my code to be dynamic in such a way that it will identify the column of "Text" and then it will identify the column of "Value Date" and combine everything between in another column row-wise.
This is where I have reached with my code but I don't know why it's not working. I have been trying this for last 3 days only to get nowhere. When I run this code, the result which I get is "TextColumnNo:ValueColumnNo".
Sub TextJoin()
Dim TextColumnNo As Range
Dim ValueColumnNo As Range
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Find("Text").Activate
Set TextColumnNo = Range(ActiveCell.Address(False, False))
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Find("Value").Activate
Set ValueColumnNo = Range(ActiveCell.Address(False, False))
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.TextJoin(" ", True, _
"TextColumnNo:ValueColumnNo")
ActiveCell.Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=ActiveCell.Range("A1:A8524")
ActiveCell.Range("A1:A8524").Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
You would need 2 loops for this. One looping through all rows and one looping through the columns to combine the text for each row.
Note that you need to adjust some things like sheet name and output column here.
Option Explicit
Public Sub TextJoin()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet1") 'define a worksheet
'find start
Dim FindStart As Range
Set FindStart = ws.Rows(1).Find("Text")
If FindStart Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "start not found"
Exit Sub
End If
'find end
Dim FindEnd As Range
Set FindEnd = ws.Rows(1).Find("Value Date")
If FindEnd Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "start not found"
Exit Sub
End If
'find last used row in column A
Dim lRow As Long
lRow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Dim iRow As Long
For iRow = 2 To lRow 'loop through all rows (2 to last used row)
Dim CombinedText As String
CombinedText = vbNullString 'initialize/reset variable
Dim iCol As Long 'loop through columns for each row (from start to end column)
For iCol = FindStart.Column To FindEnd.Column
CombinedText = CombinedText & ":" & ws.Cells(iRow, iCol).Text 'combine values
Next iCol
ws.Range("Z" & iRow) = CombinedText 'write values in column Z
Next iRow
End Sub
Sub TextJoin()
Dim ColRefText As Long
Dim ColRefValueDate As Long
Const firstcol = "Text"
Const secondcol = "Value Date"
Dim r As Range
Set r = Rows(1).Cells.Find(firstcol)
If Not r Is Nothing Then
ColRefText = r.Column
Set r = Rows(1).Cells.Find(secondcol)
If Not r Is Nothing Then
ColRefValueDate = r.Column
End If
End If
If ColRefValueDate + ColRefText > 0 Then
With Cells(2, Worksheets(1).Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, 1)
.Formula = Replace("=" & Cells(2, ColRefText).AddressLocal & "&" & Cells(2, ColRefValueDate).AddressLocal, "$", "")
.Copy Range(.Address, Cells(ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count, .Column).Address)
End With
End If
End Sub

Copying values from one sheet based on condition to another workbook

I've written some code that assigns each item in a list a code based on row #. What I want to do from there is choose a copy all information from each row that corresponds with a chosen code, then paste it to another workbook. I've been having some trouble. Here's the code:
Sub LSHP_Distribute()
Dim wbLSHP As Workbook
Dim wsLSHP As Worksheet
Dim CodeRange As Range
Dim FirstRow As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim wbTEST As Workbook
Set wbLSHP = ActiveWorkbook
Set wsLSHP = wbLSHP.Sheets("Sheet1")
'Generate codes for newly added items
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Turn off screen updating
With wsLSHP
FirstRow = .Range("F3").End(xlDown).Row + 1
LastRow = .Range("B6", .Range("B6").End(xlDown)).Rows.Count + 5
Set CodeRange = .Range("$F$" & FirstRow, "$F$" & LastRow)
End With
For Each cell In CodeRange
If cell = "" Then
If cell.Row Mod 3 = 0 Then
cell.Value = "1"
ElseIf cell.Row Mod 3 = 1 Then
cell.Value = "2"
ElseIf cell.Row Mod 3 = 2 Then
cell.Value = "3"
Else
End If
End If
Next cell
'Open Spreadsheets to Distribute Items
Dim PasteRow As Long
Dim i As Integer
Set wbTEST = Workbooks.Open(Filename:="V:\Test.xlsx")
PasteRow = wbTEST.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B6").End(xlDown).Row + 1
Below is where I'm having the problem
wbLSHP.Activate
For Each cell In CodeRange
If cell = "1" Then
Range(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -5), ActiveCell.Offset(0, 20)).Select
Selection.Copy
wbTEST.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(PasteRow, 1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
PasteRow = PasteRow + 1
Else
End If
Next cell
End Sub
First problem is the For loop isn't copying the correct range in "CodeRange", the second problem is it only copies once before I get an Automation Error. Let me know if you have any questions, or know of a more efficient way to write this code.
Thanks so much for your time!
Your range is defined to Start in F3 and end in BSomething, but you store to CodeRange only the F column.
Set CodeRange = .Range("$F$" & FirstRow, "$F$" & LastRow)
Try using:
Set CodeRange = .Range("$B$" & FirstRow, "$F$" & LastRow)
I suggest instead of Copy and Paste, assign the value to a variable and put the value of the variable on wbTEST.

Excel - How to fill in empty lines below with current value until new value is met in the same column. Non-VBA solution needed [duplicate]

I want to fill in all empty cells using values of above cells
state name
IL Mike
Sam
CA Kate
Bill
Leah
Should be as follows
state name
IL Mike
IL Sam
CA Kate
CA Bill
CA Leah
I tried the following
Sub split()
Dim columnValues As Range, i As Long
Set columnValues = Selection.Area
Set i = 1
For i = 1 To columnValues.Rows.Count
If (columnValues(i) = "") Then
columnValues(i) = columnValues(i - 1)
End If
Next
End Sub
I get an error when I set i. How can I modify my code
For those not requiring VBA for this, select ColumnA, Go To Special..., Blanks and:
Equals (=), Up (▲), Ctrl+Enter
should give the same result.
Given you asked for VBA, there is a quicker way than looping (the VBA equivalent of what pnuts posed above, with the additional step of removing the formula at the end):
On Error Resume Next
With Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
.Value = .Value
End With
It is because i should be defined as i=1. There are although a few other problems with the code. I would change it to something like this:
Sub split()
Dim columnValues As Range, i As Long
Set columnValues = Selection
For i = 1 To columnValues.Rows.Count
If columnValues.Cells(i, 1).Value = "" Then
columnValues.Cells(i, 1).Value = columnValues.Cells(i - 1, 1).Value
End If
Next
End Sub
Sub fill_blanks()
Dim i As Long
i = 2 ' i<>1 because your first raw has headings "state " "name"
'Assume state is in your cell A and name is in your cell B
Do Until Range("B" & i) = ""
Range("B" & i).Select
If ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 <> "" Then
Range("A" & i).Select
If ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "" Then
Range("A" & i - 1).Copy
Range("A" & i).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Else
i = i + 1
End If
Else
i = i + 1
End If
Loop
End Sub
For some cause the method used on post https://stackoverflow.com/a/20439428/2684623 not work for me. When the line .value=.value is executed, I get the error 'not available' (#N/D for local language) in the value of cells. Version of Office is 365.
I dont know the reason however with some modifications runs fine:
Sub TLD_FillinBlanks()
On Error Resume Next
With ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns(1)
If .Rows(1) = "" Then .Rows(1).Value = "'"
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
.Value = .Value
End With
End Sub
Using loops:
Sub TLD_FillinBlanksLoop()
Dim rCell As Range
For Each rCell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns(1).Cells
If rCell.Value = "" And rCell.Row > 1 Then
rCell.FillDown
End If
Next
End Sub
I hope that can be useful for somebody. Thanks and regards.

Convert Text to Rows instead of Text to Columns

I have a text string that is using the ^ symbol as a delimiter.
I need to separate the text into new rows rather than new columns.
I need to create new rows to not overwrite the next line of data below it.
Is this possible without using a macro? I'm not against using one, I just wouldn't know where to start to write it.
Below is a pic of some sample data. The top part is how it's listed, and the bottom (in yellow) is how I would like it.
Using Excel 2010 on Windows 7 Pro.
Thanks to those that responded. A friend was able to help by providing the following code:
Sub Breakout()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
LR = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For r = LR To 2 Step -1
Set MyCell = Cells(r, 1)
Arry = Split(MyCell.Value, "^")
For c = 0 To UBound(Arry)
If c > 0 Then MyCell.Offset(c, 0).EntireRow.Insert
MyCell.Offset(c, 0) = Arry(c)
Next c
Next r
End Sub
Could try something like this:
Sub reArrange()
Dim inFirstRng As Range
Dim inRng As Range
Dim inCur As Variant
Dim outFirstRng As Range
Dim outCurRng As Range
Dim ws As Worksheet
'CHANGE ARGUMENT TO YOUR SHEET NAME
Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet2")
With ws
'CHANGE ARGUMENT TO WHATEVER THE FIRST CELL OR YOUR DATA INPUT IS IN COLUMN A
Set inFirstRng = .Range("A3")
Set inRng = .Range(inFirstRng, inFirstRng.End(xlDown))
'CHANGE ARGUMENT TO WHATEVER THE FIRST CELL OR YOUR DATA OUTPUT IS IN COLUMN A
Set outFirstRng = .Range("A9")
Set outCurRng = outFirstRng
End With
For Each cell In inRng.Cells
inCur = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(Split(cell.Value, "^"))
outCurRng.Resize(UBound(inCur), 1).Value = inCur
With ws
.Range("G" & outCurRng.Row & ":L" & outCurRng.Row).Value = _
.Range("G" & cell.Row & ":L" & cell.Row).Value
End With
Set outCurRng = outCurRng.Offset(UBound(inCur), 0)
Next cell
ws.Range("F" & outFirstRng.Row & ":F" & outCurRng.Row - 1).Value = 1
End Sub
