Combing two columns contents in VBA - excel

I have two columns that need to have their contents combine. I want the combining to occur on every row of form.
With Cells(PoleRow, 25) = Cells(PoleRow, 25).Value & " / " & Cells(PoleRow, 123).Value
End With
With this code, it does not error out but it also does not do anything. I want to combine everything in column 123 into column 25.

Try to make the code as simple as possible. E.g., write the left concatenated part to a string and pass the string to a value. Then it looks maintainable and eas to understand:
Sub TestMe()
Dim poleRow As Long
poleRow = 1
With Worksheets(1)
Dim union As String
union = .Cells(poleRow, 25) & " / " & .Cells(poleRow, 123)
.Cells(poleRow, 25) = union
End With
End Sub

You just can't do it in one lane :)
Earlier you should declare starting row and last row for which you want to iterate.
For PoleRow=1 to 125 ' decalring start row = 1 and last row, you can also declare last row by VBA code
With Cells(PoleRow, 25)
Cells(PoleRow,25) = Cells(PoleRow, 25).Value2 & " / " & Cells(PoleRow, 123).Value2
End With
Next PoleRow

Adding a new row of data after the last

I have a list of data on my Excel file. I want to add new elements to this list by using a userform.
The code below should add the data on column B, one after the data on the last row.
The problem is each time I add a new data, my code deletes the old data.
So if I have data on column B line 3, it deletes what is in line 3 (the last row) and adds what I've just entered in that line.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim ws_liste As Worksheet
Dim fin_liste As Integer
Set ws_liste = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Liste_Lame_" & Me.ComboBox_Modele.Value)
fin_liste = ws_liste.Range("A" & Rows.Column).End(xlUp).Row
'fin_liste = ws_liste.Range("A65533").End(xlUp).Row
ws_liste.Cells(fin_liste + 1, 2) = Me.ComboBox_Num.Value & "-" & Me.TextBox_Mois.Value & "-" & Me.TextBox_Annee.Value & "-" & Me.ComboBox_Modele.Value & "-" & Me.ComboBox_Const.Value
Unload Me
End Sub
I don't understand why you use this code
fin_liste = ws_liste.Range("A" & Rows.Column).End(xlUp).Row
It always give you value "1" and never change, that's why the new data will delete the old one.
I'll give you two solutions, choose what you want.
First, take one cell to save a value from fin_liste as integer (for example I choose cell "D1"). Then add "i" for a new variable as integer.
Here the code.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim ws_liste As Worksheet
Dim fin_liste, i As Integer
Set ws_liste = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Liste_Lame_" & Me.ComboBox_Modele.Value)
fin_liste = ws_liste.Range("A" & Rows.Column).End(xlUp).Row
i = Range("D1").Value + fin_liste
'fin_liste = ws_liste.Range("A65533").End(xlUp).Row
ws_liste.Cells(i + 1, 2) = Me.ComboBox_Num.Value & "-" & Me.TextBox_Mois.Value & "-" & Me.TextBox_Annee.Value & "-" & Me.ComboBox_Modele.Value & "-" & Me.ComboBox_Const.Value
Range("D1").Value = i
Unload Me
End Sub
But there's a risk, if value in "D1" has changed, it make your data in a mess.
Second option.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim fin_liste As Range
Set fin_liste = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Liste_Lame_" & Me.ComboBox_Modele.Value).Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
'fin_liste = ws_liste.Range("A65533").End(xlUp).Row
fin_liste = Me.ComboBox_Num.Value & "-" & Me.TextBox_Mois.Value & "-" & Me.TextBox_Annee.Value & "-" & Me.ComboBox_Modele.Value & "-" & Me.ComboBox_Const.Value
Unload Me
End Sub
ws_liste.Range("A" & Rows.Column).End(xlUp).Row will evaluate to the first row in the range due to the xlUp parameter.
Since you are adding one to the row index in the following line (ws_liste.Cells(fin_liste + 1, 2)), I am assuming you are trying to refer to the last row of the range. You can achieve this by using xlDown instead of xlUp.
fin_liste = ws_liste.Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row
Edit: As SJR noted, If there is no data in column A, using xlDown on A1 will not find the last row of the data, but instead the next non-blank cell in column A. Instead using xlDown on the column that contains the last row of data would be correct.

Adding items by keeping the order vba

I have the bellow list, where I should add items in column B in each sheet ; liste_lameM1, liste_lameM2, liste_lameM3 et liste_lameM4:
enter image description here
I need to set a condition on the numbers of the column A, to add new item I need to specify the model from a combobox where i have 4 options( M1, M2, M3, M4) to choose the sheet where the item should be added (this part works well).
The second condition is to select a number from 001 to 300 from a combobox to be able to add my item in the correct place on column B, so if I choose 006, modele M1 my data should be in column B, line 7 in worksheet liste_lameM1, if I choose 007, modele M1 my data should be in column B line8 worksheet liste_lameM1, if I choose 010 , modele M2, my data is added on column B line 11 worksheet liste_lameM2 and so on.
here is my code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim fin_liste As Range, ligne As Long, ws_lame As Worksheet, ctrl As Boolean
Set ws_lame = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Liste_Lame_" & Me.ComboBox_Modele.Value)
Set fin_liste = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Liste_Lame_" & Me.ComboBox_Modele.Value).Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
For j = 2 To fin_liste
If ws_lame.Range("A" & j) = Me.ComboBox_Num.Value Then
ctrl = True
fin_liste = Me.ComboBox_Num.Value & "-" & Me.TextBox_Mois.Value & "-" & Me.TextBox_Annee.Value & "-" & Me.ComboBox_Modele.Value & "-" & Me.ComboBox_Const.Value
Exit For
End If
Next
If ctrl = False Then
j = fin_liste + 1
ws_lame.Range("A" & j).Value = Me.ComboBox_Num.Value
fin_liste = Me.ComboBox_Num.Value & "-" & Me.TextBox_Mois.Value & "-" & Me.TextBox_Annee.Value & "-" & Me.ComboBox_Modele.Value & "-" & Me.ComboBox_Const.Value
End If
End Sub
The problem with my code is that it is not respecting the numbers I am choosing, it just adds the items one after the other, what editing should I make ? thanks
Variable "j" for looping, I change to "ligne".
Based on your explanation, you can't make the second condition if you use this code as I give you before.
fin_liste = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(combo.Value).Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
So even you choose number between 001 & 300, it still add the data exactly on the last row at column "B".
For example, if the last data on cell "B3" (B4 still empty) then you choose number 5 (you hope the data will add on "B6"), the data will add on "B4".
Then maybe you'll find that you can change the .offset(ComboBox_Num.Value, 0), but it will make your data in a mess.
So the code that I give you before ineffective for the 2nd condition.
Based on the 2nd condition, you can use this.
fin_liste = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(combo.Value).Cells(ComboBox_Num.Value, "B").offset(1, 0)
I still write .offset(1, 0), because I think you want to add the first data on cell "B2", right?
Actually that code have a problem, but based on you question, I think that problem will not affect you. You'll find it out soon. (You should consider Zac's comment)
I've rewrite your code so I can try it on my excel easier. You can change it into your version.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim fin_liste As Range, ligne As Long, ws_lame As Worksheet, ctrl As Boolean
Set ws_lame = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(combo.value)
Set fin_liste = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(combo.Value).Cells(combo2.Value, "B").Offset(1, 0) '.End(xlUp).Offset(combo2.Value, 0)
For ligne = 2 To fin_liste
If ws_lame.Range("A" & ligne) = combo2.Value Then
ctrl = True
fin_liste = text.Value
End If
Next
If ctrl = False Then
ligne = fin_liste + 1
ws_lame.Range("A" & ligne) = combo2.Value
fin_liste = text.Value
End If
End Sub

VBA formula removing everything after second space

I was trying to copy from column D to column E first two words of each row but still can not find where the error is....
Range("E1:E" & lLastRow).Formula = "=LEFT(D1,FIND("" "",D1,FIND("" "",D1)+1)-1)"
Another option, instead of using a Formula, you can use the Split function.
Code
Dim i As Long, LastRow As Long
Dim WordsArr As Variant
' loop through rows
For i = 1 To LastRow
WordsArr = Split(Range("D" & i).Value, " ") ' use Split and space to read cell words to array
If UBound(WordsArr) >= 1 Then ' make sure the cell contents is at least 2 words
Range("E" & i).Value = WordsArr(0) & " " & WordsArr(1) ' insert only the first 2 words
Else ' in case there are less than 2 words
' do someting....
End If
Next i
End Sub
Try this instead ...
Range("E1:E" & lLastRow).FormulaR1C1 = "=LEFT(RC[-1],FIND("" "",RC[-1],FIND("" "",RC[-1])+1)-1)"
I find using R1C1 better for those sort of operations, especially given you want your references to be dynamic, not absolute.
Alternatively, add the formula you had normally and simply fill down.

Adding freshly created formula into new module

I've just created a brand new macro. Took function down below from internet (all credits goes to trumpexcel.com), code down below
Function CONCATENATEMULTIPLE(Ref As Range, Separator As String) As String
Dim Cell As Range
Dim Result As String
For Each Cell In Ref
Result = Result & Cell.Value & Separator
Next Cell
CONCATENATEMULTIPLE = Left(Result, Len(Result) - 1)
End Function
Then I proceed to extract data from various columns and into the one (my table is 20 rows x 10 columns)
Sub conact_data()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 2 To Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Cells(i, "M").Value = Cells(i, "A").Value & " " & _
Cells(i, "B").Value & " / " & Cells(i, "D").Value & "; "
Next i
End Sub
Thanks to that I've got combined data from column A, B and D, so its 20 rows. All I want to do now is to concatenate data from M2:M21 using CONCATENATEMULTIPLE function therefore I try various approach (I want this huge line in P2 cell) like :
Cells(2, 16).Value = CONCATENATEMULTIPLE (M2:M21, " ")
or
Range("P2") = "CONCATENATEMULTIPLE (M2:M21, " ")"
I don't really know how to apply that
Secondly, I'd like withdraw the Cells(i, "B").Value as percentage. Can I do that in one line like Cells(i, "B").NumberFormat="0.00%".Value (which is not working for me obviously) else I need to copy column B into another column with number format and then combine the new column, properly formatted instead of column B?
Thanks in advance
Percent format: Range("B" & i).NumberFormat = "0.00%"
CONCATENATEMULTIPLE
In VBA, CHR(32) = " "
In Excel, CHAR(32) = " "
With that being said...
'Value
Range("P2").Value = CONCATENATEMULTIPLE(Range("M2:M21"), CHR(32))
'Formula
Range("P2").Formula = "=CONCATENATEMULTIPLE(M2:M21, CHAR(32))"
You should really qualify all of your ranges with a worksheet
Say your workbook has 10 sheets. When you say Range("P2"), how do we (VBE) know what sheet you mean? Objects need to be properly qualified. Sometimes this is not a huge issue, but when you are working across multiple sheets, not qualifying ranges can lead to some unexpected results.
You can qualify with a worksheet a few ways.
Directly: ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("P2").Copy
Or use a variable like so
Dim ws as Worksheet: Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
ws.Range("P2").Copy
Now there is no room for ambiguity (potential errors) as to the exact location of Range("P2")
First of all, remove your ConcatenateMultiple() code, and instead use Excel worksheet function CONCAT(), which takes a range and a delimiter as parameters.
Here is how you can handle the percentage issue and supply a default for non-numeric items. I've also cleaned up the way you reference your data range.
Sub concat_data()
Dim rngRow As Range, vResult As Variant
Const DEFAULT = 0 'Can also be set to a text value, eg. "Missing"
For Each rngRow In [A2].CurrentRegion.Rows
If IsNumeric(rngRow.Cells(, 4)) Then vResult = rngRow.Cells(, 4) * 100 & "%" Else vResult = DEFAULT
Range("M" & rngRow.Row) = rngRow.Cells(, 1) & rngRow.Cells(, 2) & "/" & vResult & ";"
Next
[M2].End(xlDown).Offset(1).Formula = "=CONCAT(M2:M" & [M2].End(xlDown).Row & ",TRUE,"" "")"
End Sub
I'm not a fan of hard-coding range references, like the [A2] or Range("M"), but will leave that for another time.

VBA Excel Comparing Values in two different sheet

I am looking to compare the values in two columns that are located in different sheets. When a match is found I want to decrease the value in a third column that is in the same row as the matched values. I know how to hard code it below but I would rather not have to include this code for every row in excel.
If Range("g12").Value = Worksheets("Inventory Levels").Range("b2").Value Then
Worksheets("Inventory Levels").Range("c2").Value = Worksheets("Inventory Levels").Range("c2").Value - 1
End If
You can do this in a simple loop, see my comments for details.
Dim i as Integer
' Use "With" to fully qualify your sheet objects.
With ThisWorkbook
' Loop over rows 2 to 20 (change this as necessary)
For i = 2 to 20
' Use ampersand (&) for concatenation of strings
If .Sheets("Sheet1").Range("G" & (i + 10)).Value = .Sheets("Inventory Levels").Range("B" & i).Value Then
.Sheets("Inventory Levels").Range("C" & i).Value = .Sheets("Inventory Levelts").Range("C" & i).Value - 1
End If
Next i
End With
