I would like to define the variable of the 3rd visible cell in my filtered column B.
The position of my 3rd visible cell can change according to the value selected in my filter.
In my example, the 3rd cell is B16, but it is not always this value. If I manage to define the variable of my 3rd visible cell in column B, I would be able to change B16 in my VBA code by this variable.
Sub jfdjdgfjg()
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = ActiveSheet.Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
ActiveCell.Formula = "= SUM(B16:B" & LastRow & ")" 'Sum until lastrow
End Sub
This is one method
Option Explicit
Sub thirdviscell()
Dim LRow As Long, i As Long, counter As Long
Dim thirdcell As Range
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
LRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To LRow 'assuming a header row not to be counted
If .Rows(i).EntireRow.Hidden = False Then counter = counter + 1
If counter = 3 Then
Set thirdcell = .Cells(i, "B")
Exit For
End If
Next i
End With
MsgBox "The third visible cell's address is " & thirdcell.Address(0,0), vbInformation
End Sub
You can loop over the visible cells and count them like this:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Example()
MsgBox GetFilteredRowNumber(ActiveSheet.Range("B:B"), 3)
End Sub
Private Function GetFilteredRowNumber(ByRef r As Range, ByRef num As Long) As Long
Dim aCell As Range, i As Long
GetFilteredRowNumber = 0
For Each aCell In Intersect(r.Parent.UsedRange, r.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)).Cells
i = i + 1
If i = num Then
GetFilteredRowNumber = aCell.Row
Exit For
End If
Next aCell
End Function

would anyone be able to help?
I am trying to write VBA to highlight if the cell has 2 different values. It seems to highlight all including the same name appear twice. Thanks for any help!
Sub CountTwoOrMoreDifferent()
Dim myRange As Long
myRange = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Range("A2:A" & myRange).Select
For Each AnimalName In Selection
AnimalNameMoreThan2 = AnimalName.Value
If InStr(AnimalNameMoreThan2, "Cat") + _
InStr(AnimalNameMoreThan2, "Dog") + _
InStr(AnimalNameMoreThan2, "Cow") _
+ InStr(AnimalNameMoreThan2, "Chicken") + _
InStr(AnimalNameMoreThan2, "Snake") + _
InStr(AnimalNameMoreThan2, "Tums") + _
InStr(AnimalNameMoreThan2, "Drop") > 1 Then
AnimalName.Interior.Color = vbRed
End If
Next AnimalName
End Sub
Data in column A
Sample Data
You can use this code.
It is split into two parts
a sub - which does the check per cell.
a function that checks if there is a duplicate within an array.
It returns true in case there is at least one dup.
Public Sub highlightDuplicateValues()
'get Range to check
Dim lastRow As Long, rgToCheck As Range
With ActiveSheet
lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set rgToCheck = .Range("A2:A" & lastRow) 'no need to select!
End With
Dim c As Range, arrValuesInCell As Variant
Dim i As Long
For Each c In rgToCheck.Cells
'get an array of values/animals in cell
arrValuesInCell = Split(c.Value, ";")
'now check for each value if it has a dup - if yes color red and exit check
For i = LBound(arrValuesInCell) To UBound(arrValuesInCell)
If hasDupInArray(arrValuesInCell, i) = True Then
c.Interior.Color = vbRed
Exit For
End If
Next
Next
End Sub
Private Function hasDupInArray(arrValues As Variant, checkI As Long) As Boolean
'only values after the checkI-value are checked.
'Assumption: previous values have been checked beforehand
Dim varValueToCheck As Variant
varValueToCheck = arrValues(checkI)
Dim i As Long
For i = checkI + 1 To UBound(arrValues)
If arrValues(i) = varValueToCheck Then
hasDupInArray = True
Exit For
End If
Next
End Function
My knowledge in VBA coding is zero. I wonder if someone can help with this question, please.
I have this initial code tried to write but it is wrong. I was not sure how to add these below conditions in the code.
Question: I want to auto number column A which starts at a specific Cell, A3 and it auto-numbers as long as there is text in Column B and Column C.
Here's the sample data picture. Thanks in advance!
Sub test()
Set r = Range("a3", Range("b" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Offset(, -1)
With r
If .MergeCells <> True Then
r = r +1
Else
' Skip
End With
End Sub
Assuming your sheet is named Sheet1, you may use something like this:
Sub Test()
Dim lastRow As Long, i As Long, counter As Long
With Sheet1
lastRow = .Range("B" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 3 To lastRow
If Not IsEmpty(.Cells(i, 2)) And Not IsEmpty(.Cells(i, 3)) Then
counter = counter + 1
.Cells(i, 1).Value = counter
End If
Next
End With
End Sub
Note: Using IsEmpty to check if any of the cells in columns B & C is empty already covers the case of cells being merged because in that case, at least one of the two cells has to be empty anyway.
Demo:
You have r as a range, you can't add a number to it and have it increment the range. (Though I did just test it and it doesn't throw an error which is strange)
Also Skip is not a thing in VBA, if you want to skip in a loop you need a conditional or a goto. Though you have no loop.
Sub test()
Dim i As Long
Dim lastrow As Long
Dim counter As Long
counter = 1
With ActiveSheet ' Change this to the real sheet name
lastrow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row ' Gets Last row
For i = 3 To lastrow ' Loop
If not isempty(.Cells(i, 2).Value) And not IsEmpty(.Cells(i, 3).Value) Then ' Looks for Text
If Not .Cells(i, 1).MergeCells Then ' Looks for merged cells
.Cells(i, 1).Value = counter ' Adds count
counter = counter + 1 ' Increments count
End If
End If
Next i
End With

I'm trying to get the value of the first filter result that is in column C. The headers are on A5 to J5 and then the results are below. Pointing to C6 gives me the value of the first row in the database when it isn't filtered. I've read online that using
Range("C" & .Offset(1, 0).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)(1).Row).Value
Would return the value as this takes into account that some of the rows are filtered out, but this doesn't work for me. I tried putting it in my GetNextResult subroutine below where I have Set the FilteredData Range variable, and it prompts Compile Error, Invalid or Unqualified Reference.
Just to make it clear, the first subroutine, FilterData, is actually the one that filters the data. The second subroutine, GetNextResult, calls on FilterData() but the purpose of this subroutine is to insert the value of each result into a textbox, one by one upon each execution of this macro.
Not that it's particularly relevant to the issue but in case it's important, the reason I want the value of the first result when filtered is for the purposes of a counter. I'm looking to make it so every time the GetNextResult macro sends the next result to the text boxes the counter goes up by one, so that the user can keep track of how many they've cycled through and not get to the point where they don't realise they're seeing the same results over and over. I figured, if I can get the value of the first filtered row then I can make an if statement say that if the textbox contains this value then make sure counter is 1, and that is the reset point.
Public Sub FilterData()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Database")
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Dim CriteriaRange As Range
Set CriteriaRange = ws.Range("A2", "C3")
If Range("C3").Value = "Any" Then
Set CriteriaRange = ws.Range("A2", "B3")
End If
Dim DataRange As Range
Set DataRange = ws.Range("A5", "J" & LastRow)
DataRange.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, CriteriaRange:=CriteriaRange, Unique:=False
Call last_used_sort
If Not DataRange.Columns(1).Rows.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Count > 1 Then
Call ShowAll
MsgBox "No Results"
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
Public Sub GetNextResult()
FilterData
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Database")
Dim header As String
header = "Cards"
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Dim DataRange As Range
Set DataRange = ws.Range("A5", "J" & LastRow)
Dim FilteredData As Range
Set FilteredData = DataRange.Resize(ColumnSize:=1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
If CurrentRow + 1 > FilteredData.Cells.Count Then
CurrentRow = 1
End If
CurrentRow = CurrentRow + 1
With FilteredData
first_row = Range("C" & .Offset(1, 0).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)(1).Row).Value
End With
Debug.Print first_row
Dim i As Long
Dim cell As Variant
Static counter As Long
counter = counter + 1
If counter = Quick_Insert_Range Then
counter = 1
End If
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Cardcounter").TextFrame.Characters.Text = counter
For Each cell In FilteredData
i = i + 1
If i = CurrentRow Then
Call ShowAll
TextboxName = "txt1"
ActiveSheet.Shapes(TextboxName).DrawingObject.Text = cell.Offset(0, 2)
TextboxName2 = "txt2"
ActiveSheet.Shapes(TextboxName2).DrawingObject.Text = cell.Offset(0, 3)
TextboxName3 = "txt3"
ActiveSheet.Shapes(TextboxName3).DrawingObject.Text = cell.Offset(0, 4)
If ActiveSheet.Shapes(TextboxName).DrawingObject.Text = header Then
Call GetNextResult
End If
Call quick_artwork
Else
Call ShowAll
End If
Next cell
End Sub
In your second code, you did not CALL Filter Data. Your first 2 lines of code should be
Public Sub GetNextResult()
Call FilterData
I have some history working with VBA, but can't seem to find the solution to this problem. I found an iteration process to select a cell, do a process, and then select the next cell and do the process again, until NULL. I am having a problem outputting each of the processes solutions into the next column. Here is what I have:
Sub Name ()
Dim X As Integer
Dim MyString as String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
NumRows = Range("D2", Range("D2").End(xlDown)).Rows.Count
Range("D2").Select
For X = 1 To NumRows
MyString = ActiveCell.Value
MyString = Right(MyString, Len(MyString)-6)
Range("I2 to I#").Value = MyString
ActiveCell.Offset(1,0).Select
Next X
End Sub
Range("I2 to I#").Value = MyString is the line that I need help with. I need it to increment to I3, I4, I5, etc. until it reaches NumRows count.
When working with Cells the best way to loop through them is For Each Cell in Range so taking this and as comments told you to avoid selecting, this should help you:
Option Explicit
Sub Name()
Dim C As Range, MyRange As Range
Dim LastRow As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("MySheet") 'Change MySheet for your working sheet name
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row 'last row on column D
Set MyRange = .Range("D2:D" & LastRow) 'declare your working range
For Each C In MyRange
If Not C = vbNullString Then .Cells(C.Row, "I") = Right(C, Len(C) - 6)
Next C
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Another solution is Do Until. You could use this method if you dont have empty cells in the middle of your data.
Option Explicit
Sub Test()
Dim StartingPoint As Long
StartingPoint = 2 'Set the line to begin
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1") 'Set the worksheet
Do Until .Cells(StartingPoint, "D").Value = "" 'Repeat the process until you find empty cell
.Cells(StartingPoint, "I").Value = Right(.Cells(StartingPoint, "D").Value, Len(.Cells(StartingPoint, "D").Value) - 6)
StartingPoint = StartingPoint + 1
Loop
End With
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim cel As Range, lRow As Long
'next line determines the last row in column 1 (A), of the first Worksheet
lRow = Worksheets("Delta").UsedRange.Columns(5).Rows.Count
'iterate over every cell in the UsedRange
For Each cel In Worksheets("Delta").Range("E10:E" & lRow)
'cel represents the current cell
'being processed in this iteration of the loop
'Len() determines number of characters in the cell
If Len(cel.Value2) > 0 Then
'if cel is not empty, copy the value to the cell range (D1,D2,D3...) mentioned
Sheets("Traceability").Select
Traceability.Range("D3:D100").Select = cel.Value2 '--->Object not defined
End If
Next 'move on the next (lower) cell in column 1
End Sub
For copying a range of data I am facing an error of object not defined. Is my method to copy cell values correct ?
This is what I came up to finally
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim cel As Range, lRow As Long
Dim i As Integer
lRow = Worksheets("Delta").UsedRange.Columns(5).Rows.Count
rw = 3
'iterate over every cell in the UsedRange
For Each cel In Worksheets("Delta").Range("E10:E" & lRow)
If Len(cel.Value2) > 0 Then
'if cel is not empty, copy the value to the cell
Sheets("Traceability").Range("D" & rw).Value = cel.Value2
rw = rw + 1
End If
Next
End Sub
try:
Remove:
Sheets("Traceability").Select
Change:
Traceability.Range("D3:D100").Select = cel.Value2
to
Sheets("Traceability").Range("D3:D100") = cel.Value2
Its been a while since i had to do this, but if i remember right, selecting the worksheet does not assign it to a variable.
You've selected Traceability worksheet, then you try to do things on "Traceability" without telling it what "Traceability" is.
If that makes sense.
