How to fix the error in the excel vba code? - excel

I want to have alternate backgrd colour for different text
I wrote a code for it and there are several errors. How can I improve it? Thanks
Sub Alternatecolour()
Flag = True
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Startcl = Cells(2, "D")
For Each cl In Range("D2:D" & lr)
str1 = cl.Text
str2 = cl.Offset(-1, 0).Text
Diff = StrComp(str1, str2, vbBinaryCompare)
If Diff = 0 Then
GoTo Loopend
End If
If Diff <> 0 Then
If Flag = True Then
Range(Startcl, cl).Interior.Color = 15
Startcl = cl
Flag = False
Else
Range(Startcl, cl).Interior.Color = 16
Startcl = cl
Flag = True
End If
End If
Loopend
Next cl
End Sub

I suggest the following code:
Public Sub AlternateColor()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("ColorMe")
Dim ColorRange As Range
Set ColorRange = ws.Range("D2", ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp))
Dim StartRow As Long
StartRow = ColorRange.Row
Dim ActColor As Long
ActColor = 15
Dim iRow As Long
For iRow = ColorRange.Row To ColorRange.Rows.Count + ColorRange.Row - 1
If ws.Cells(iRow, "D").Value <> ws.Cells(iRow, "D").Offset(1, 0).Value Then
ws.Range(ws.Cells(StartRow, "D"), ws.Cells(iRow, "D")).Interior.ColorIndex = ActColor
ActColor = IIf(ActColor = 15, 16, 15)
StartRow = iRow + 1
End If
Next iRow
End Sub

Compare two columns from which one column is not mandatory

I need help for a macro code.
In my case the excel macro checks data in one sheet ("Check_file") for completeness and correctness.
There are mandatory columns in the sheet which have to exist and also not-mandatory columns can exist.
In my example the columns “company” and “fee” are mandatory columns, if they are missing or false the macro will throw an error.
Next to them, the column “gross fee” is not-mandatory and its data should only be checked with the data in column “fee”, if column “gross fee” exists. If it exists, the amount should be the same as in column “fee”. If it doesnt exist, there should be no comparison.
The check for the mandatory columns works fine within a For-Loop and an own Range.
My problem is that I dont know how I can involve the not-mandatory columns into the loop of the mandatory columns…
I tried to define a separate Range for the not-mandatory columns area. But it seems that I cannnot create the connection to the not-mandatory column if it is not set in the mandatory columns loop. But if it is set to the mandatory columns range and the not-mandatory column doesnt exist, an error will be thrown.
Should the exist-check for the not-mandatory columns be placed in a separate Sub or Function? If yes, how can the connection be created to the mandatory check Range?
This is the vba code:

filled in red.

I would recommend you refactor your code into 3 parts. 1- read the settings, 2- profile the sheet and then 3- check the data. Debug each step in turn.

Is ther a quicker way or clever way to do 2 for each?

I want to add cell value from one table to another. the first table contains about 110 000 rows (tabCDL) and the other about 37 000 rows (tabEMP). It takes about one hour to do right now and I need to do it faster.

Try the next way, please. It uses arrays and should be very fast. Not tested, but it should work, if I did not messed anything up regarding the involved ranges:
Sub MergeColumnEMP() 'unique in EMP, not unique in CEDULE

LastRowCDL = shtCDL.ListObjects("TabCEDULE").Range.rows.Count
LastRowEMP = shtEMP.ListObjects("TabEMP").Range.rows.Count
arrCDL = shtCDL.Range("H2:K" & LastRowCDL).value 'h
arrEMP = Sheets("EMPRUNT").Range("C2:I" & LastRowEMP).value 'c
For i = 1 To UBound(arrCDL)
For j = 1 To UBound(arrEMP)
If arrCDL(i, 1) = arrEMP(j, 1) Then
arrCDL(i, 2) = arrEMP(j, 2)
arrCDL(i, 3) = arrEMP(j, 5)

You need not Trim the Keys if you are sure that there can't be any stray leading or trailing blanks.
Your second picture doesn't need VBA. It can be produce by this formula, entered in C2 and copied down.
=COUNTIF($B$2:$B$13,$B2)
In fact, you can even do the job of my above code without VBA. Enter this formula in G2 of your sheet as an array formula (confirmed with CTL + SHIFT + ENTER if you don't have Excel 365), and the other one in H. Then copy both formulas down.
[G2] =IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$13, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($G$1:G1, $B$2:$B$13), 0)), "")
[H2] =IF($G2<>"",COUNTIF($B$2:$B$13,$G2),"")
You need to assign values to column C after you have finished counting and therefore, need another loop:
Sub countThings()

A simpler way to achieve what you want is to let excel do the counting for you like this:
Sub countThings2()
Dim sDataAddress As String
With ActiveSheet
sDataAddress = "$B$2:$B$" & .Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
With .Range(sDataAddress).Offset(0, 1)
.Formula2 = "=COUNTIF(" & sDataAddress & ",B2)"
.Value = .Value
End With
End With
End Sub
i use table and 2 functions. not simple way but works :)
Sub Fx()
Dim str_Tab() As String, str_Text As String, str_Result As String

Dim rng_WorkRange As Range
int_LastRow = ActiveSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng_WorkRange = ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A" & int_LastRow)
For i = 1 To int_LastRow
str_Text = ActiveSheet.Range("A" & i)
If i > 1 Then
str_Result = IsInArray(str_Text, str_Tab)
If str_Result = -1 Then
int_TabItemCounter = UBound(str_Tab) - LBound(str_Tab)
ReDim str_Tab(int_TabItemCounter)
str_Tab(int_TabItemCounter) = str_Text
ActiveSheet.Range("B" & i) = CountThisItem(rng_WorkRange, str_Text)
Else
ActiveSheet.Range("B" & i) = CountThisItem(rng_WorkRange, str_Text)
End If ' If str_Result = -1
Else ' If i > 1
ReDim str_Tab(i)
str_Tab(i) = str_Text
ActiveSheet.Range("B" & i) = CountThisItem(rng_WorkRange, str_Text)
End If ' If i > 1
Next i
End Sub

How do I figure out if my temporary folder is overloading? (Apologies on the length)

I have a macro that threw the below error, and I have a theory why, but am having trouble finding any literature to back it up. Pages I found are typically people posting silly mistakes with incorrect variable types.
I don't think there's anything wrong with the code, I just think the nature of the task takes too long, therefore overloading the temp folder. Per TechWalla (emphasis mine):
The Runtime Error 6 occurs in the Visual Basic program. It is an overflow issue that can occur when the Visual Basic program attempts to store too much data in the temporary folders area. Runtime files help Windows translate a program's language into Windows language so the program runs faster. You can get the Runtime Error 6 message for several reasons. One reason is that you are using a backslash instead of a forward slash in one of your calculations. Other reasons include an overloaded temporary folder, outdated software or a registry error.
(Caveat: I haven't seen this explanation elsewhere and can't vouch for how reliable Techwalla is. I don't know if I'm not searching with the right keywords, but like I said, I haven't found much of anything other than code-specific forum posts.)
Is there a way to determine if this is the case? I outline below why I think this is what's causing the error, which might help, but doesn't change the question. If this is the case, is there a way to find out? And if so, is there a way to prevent it?
(I'll be running it again tonight now that I've used a registry cleaner that found 1GB, though I don't know how much was from Excel. For reference, my C: drive has 180GB free...)
EDIT: Removing code, because I'm asking not asking about that, but whether or not the temporary folder overloading could actually cause this.
EDIT2: After being swayed by the people, I am re-adding the code. And I know, it's not efficient. Thank you for the suggestions though.
EDIT3 (LAST ONE, I SWEAR): Though I realize the description above specifically mentions Visual Basic, which is not VBA, I'm keeping it in as I know Excel uses/creates temporary files, and has memory limits, which is ultimately what I'm curious about.

Not sure about the writing back to the sheet part (i would still allocate the values to an array and write it back all together, but that depends on what you have in the sheet already, plus whatever newRow() does), but can you give this a try and see if there is any improvement in speed?

PS: As others suggested, is a good idea to use Option Explicit, and eventually to step through to code and see if everything is working as intended.
As for the Overflow issue... stepping through code would/should resolve that as well eventually. See Overflow (Error 6) for more info.
EDIT: I've added further management to holding the values in an array, and writing back to the spreadsheet.
Here's a revamp of your code that should be quicker and more memory friendly. (updated to be able to handle any number of results).

How to exit for loop in excel-vba

My dataset is like this
I want to make them
Please look at the first row.
My code is
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim MyColInstance, i As Long
Dim MyWorksheetLastColumn As Byte
MyWorksheetLastColumn = Worksheets(1).Cells(1, columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
For i = 1 To MyWorksheetLastColumn
MyColInstance = ColInstance("Preference", i)
Cells(1, MyColInstance).Value = "Preference" & i
Next i
End Sub
Function ColInstance(HeadingString As String, InstanceNum As Long)
Dim ColNum As Long
On Error Resume Next
ColNum = 0
For X = 1 To InstanceNum
ColNum = (Range("A1").Offset(0, ColNum).Column) + Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(HeadingString, Range("A1").Offset(0, ColNum + 1).Resize(1, Columns.Count - (ColNum + 1)), 0)
Next
ColInstance = ColNum
End Function
The problem is while running this code, it shows an error because the for loop is not complete. What can we do?
Can you do it this way? It seems to me you are just adding a suffix to your headers in the first row...
Sub UpdateColumnHeaders()
Dim headers As Range, header As Range, suffixes As Range, suffix As Range, i As Integer
Set headers = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1, Range("A1").End(xlToRight).Column))
Set suffixes = Range("A1:A" & Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row)
i = 1
For Each header In headers
If header = "Preferences" Then
header = header & suffixes(i)
i = i + 1
End If
Next
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Count1, Count2 As Integer
Dim MyWorksheetLastRow As Byte
Dim MyColInstance, emp_i As Long
For Each Row_Cel In Range("1:1")
If Row_Cel.Value = "Employment" Then
Count1 = Count1 + 1
End If
If Row_Cel.Value = "Job" Then
Count2 = Count2 + 1
End If
Next Row_Cel
For emp_i = 1 To Count1
MyColInstance = ColInstance("Employment", emp_i)
Cells(1, MyColInstance).Value = "Employment" & emp_i
Next emp_i
For emp_i = 1 To Count2
MyColInstance = ColInstance("Job", emp_i)
Cells(1, MyColInstance).Value = "Job" & emp_i
Next emp_i
End Sub
Function ColInstance(HeadingString As String, InstanceNum As Long)
Dim ColNum As Long
On Error Resume Next
ColNum = 0
For X = 1 To InstanceNum
ColNum = (Range("A1").Offset(0, ColNum).Column) + Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(HeadingString, Range("A1").Offset(0, ColNum + 1).Resize(1, Columns.Count - (ColNum + 1)), 0)
Next
ColInstance = ColNum
End Function
