Making a VBA FOR loop using vlookup function in Excel - excel

I would like to use a Vlookup function 47 times to get the value for every data. I call the table I am filling "Table 1". "Table 1 starts from E3. I would like to use the vlookup to find the value for cell E3 and fill it in F3.
I call the table from which I return value by Vlookup "Table2". "Table 2 is located in sheet "CC Name" and has two columns A and B.
I have tried two FOR Loops. One FOR Loop for the Vlookup function to be repeated 47 times. Second FOR Loop for the Name of the vlookup function "ccName" to use the function to fill the value in "Table 1" for 43 times, but I get error every time I implement the Code.
Sub GLcreation()
For n = 3 To 50
For c = 3 To 50
ccName(c) = WorksheetFunction.Vlookup(Range("E" & n), Worksheets("CC Name").Range("A:B"), 2, 0)
Range("F" & n) = ccName(c)
Next c
Next n
End Sub
If you can Show me how to Code the correct for Loop, I appreciate your help.

As soon as there is a non-match the code will fail. It's safer to test for match before making the lookup. Here is a better solution:
Sub GLcreation()
Dim n As Integer
Dim wf As WorksheetFunction
Set wf = WorksheetFunction
For n = 3 To 50
If wf.CountIf(Worksheets("CC Name").Range("A:A"), Range("E" & n).Value) > 0 Then
Range("F" & n).Value = wf.Index(Worksheets("CC Name").Range("B:B"), wf.Match(Range("E" & n).Value, Worksheets("CC Name").Range("A:A"), 0))
End If
Next n
End Sub

By getting rid of c Loop, the correct Code is:
Range("F" & n) = WorksheetFunction.Vlookup(Range("E" & n), Worksheets("CC Name").Range("A:B"), 2, 0)

Excel VBA Trying to write a "MAX" formula to Cells with different Ranges with For-Loop

I am trying to make VBA write a formula into different cells that will find the maximum value for a Range decided by some variables. My variables I and J are (numbers/Integers).
Here is my code.
Sub AddMAX()
Dim I As Integer
Dim J As Integer
Dim L As Integer
I = InputBox("Number of columns to check max value")
J = InputBox("Number of Rows to add formula inn and find max value of that row")
For L = 5 To 4 + J
Worksheets(1).Cells(L, 4 + I).Formula = "=" & Max(Range(Cells(L, 4), Cells(L, 3 + I)))
Next L
End Sub
Have tried to re-write the second part (part behind the equal sign) several times. Usually I get the message Compile error: Sub or Function not defined and it marks the "Max". I thought Max (also tried with big letters) was an in-built function like SUM and so on.
I'm trying to make it write an Excel formula like this into the cells:
For I=2 and J=3:
Cell F5: =MAX(D5:E5)
Cell F6: =MAX(D6:E6)
Cell F7: =MAX(D7:E7)
i.e. I want a formula in the cells like I had wrote it in the cells manually to calculate max value, so that if the value in Cells D5, to D7 and E5 to E7 change, the new max value will be found without any scripts having to run.
Let me know if something is unclear.
You should not be putting Range and Cells in a formula string, they mean nothing to the Excel formula engine. You need the Address of the cells:
Dim I As Long
Dim J As Long
Dim L As Long
I = InputBox("Number of columns to check max value")
J = InputBox("Number of Rows to add formula inn and find max value of that row")
L = 5
With Worksheets(1)
.Range(.Cells(L, 4 + I), .Cells(4 + J, 4 + I)).Formula = "=MAX(" & .Cells(L, 4).Address(False, False) & ":" & .Cells(L, I + 3).Address(False, False) & ")"
End With
The formula is actually the same for all cells, which is why it is possible to assign it in one assignment for the entire range. It looks different in the A1 reference notation, but if you switch to R1C1 in the Excel settings, you will see they are the same. Which also means it is easier to create that formula using the R1C1 notation in the first place:
Dim I As Long
Dim J As Long
Dim L As Long
I = InputBox("Number of columns to check max value")
J = InputBox("Number of Rows to add formula inn and find max value of that row")
L = 5
With Worksheets(1)
.Range(.Cells(L, 4 + I), .Cells(4 + J, 4 + I)).FormulaR1C1 = "=MAX(RC[-" & I & "]:RC[-1])"
End With
But it would appear to me that you should instead use the Excel interface the intended way. Select the cells in which the MAX formula should be. Keeping the entire range selected, put the MAX formula into any of its cells as if you were creating it for just that cell, but instead of pressing Enter, press Ctrl+Enter.
You have to be careful to distinct between the part that is seen by VBA and the final formula.
If you write
Worksheets(1).Cells(L, 4 + I).Formula = "=" & Max(Range(Cells(L, 4), Cells(L, 3 + I)))
Max (and all the following stuff) is seen by the VBA-interpreter, not Excel. But there is no Max-function, and you get an (compiler)-error.
If you write
Worksheets(1).Cells(L, 4 + I).Formula = "=Max(Range(Cells(L, 4), Cells(L, 3 + I)))"
the VBA-interpreter sees the whole stuff as a string. It cannot take care about variables like L or I because is doesn't see them. So you end up with a formula that is exactly like you write it - and Excel (not VBA) will show you an error because it doesn't understand L or I.
What you need is a statement (in VBA) that creates a string that contains the actual values of your variables, and assign it to the cell.formula. I strongly advice that you first assign this to a string variable - it makes debugging much easier:
Dim formula As String
formula = "=Max(Range(Cells(" & L & ", 4), Cells(" & L & ", 3 + " & I & ")))"
Debug.Print formula
Worksheets(1).Cells(L, 4 + I).Formula = formula
Update: Sorry, I haven't looked to the content of the formula at all, of course the Range and Cells-objects are VBA objects. What you need in your formula is the address of the range, so change the line to
formula = "=MAX(" & Range(Cells(L, 4), Cells(L, 3 + i)).Address & ")"
Now VBA will create a Range and put the address into the formula string.

=Sum Formula VBA. Need loop

Spreadsheet
I am trying to insert a new sum formula into column P that sums the corresponding values in column S. This process will repeat over as you will see in the image of my spreadsheet I have attached. Any ideas for creating a loop to do this?
Update: I figured out a loop that will do this here is my code.
Sub COMPLETE()
TotalRow = 0
SumEnd = 0
For cur_row = 3 To 174
If IsEmpty(Cells(cur_row, 19)) = True Then
If cur_row = 3 Then
TotalRow = 3
Counts = -1
Else
Cells(TotalRow, 25) = "=SUM(S" & (SumEnd - Counts) & ":S" & SumEnd & " )"
TotalRow = cur_row
Counts = -1
End If
Else:
Counts = Counts + 1
SumEnd = cur_row
End If
Next cur_row
End Sub
You can use pivot table to resume your data in that way:
Pivot table
Configurations
Is that what you mean? or did you mean a VBA code?
Regards
For the example you gave, put this formula in cell P3 and fill down:
=IF(LEN(S3)=0,SUM(INDIRECT("R"&ROW()+1&"C"&COLUMN(S3)&":R"&ROW()+MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(S4:S$17="",0),0)-1&"C"&COLUMN(S3),FALSE)),"")
Note that if your data extend past row 16, you need to change "S$17" to one cell below the last cell in column S.

Excel VBA Sum from Multiple Sheets

I am trying to create a function or functions that can sum daily hours from time cards for each client to come up with the total hours worked per day. Each client has it's own sheet inside of a single workbook.
Currently, I have a function that determines the sheet that goes with the first client (the third sheet in the workbook):
Function FirstSheet()
Application.Volatile
FirstSheet = Sheets(3).Name
End Function
And one to find the last sheet:
Function LastSheet()
Application.Volatile
LastSheet = Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name
End Function
The part that I am having trouble with it getting these to work within the sum function.
=sum(FirstSheet():LastSheet()!A1
That is basically what I want to accomplish. I think the problem is that I don't know how to concatenate it without turning it into a string and it doesn't realize that it is sheet and cell references.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So, an example formula would look like this:
=SUM(Sheet2!A1:A5,Sheet3!A1:A5,Sheet4!A1:A5)
That would sum Sheet2-Sheet4, A1:A5 on all sheets.
Is there a reason you need to write the VBA code to do this?
Can't you just enter it as a formula once?
Also, if you're going to the trouble of writing VBA to generate a formula, it may make more sense to just do the sum entirely in VBA code.
If not, try this:
Sub GenerateTheFormula()
Dim x, Formula
Formula = "=SUM(" 'Formula begins with =SUM(
For x = 3 To Sheets.Count
Formula = Formula & Sheets(x).Name & "!A1," 'Add SheetName and Cell and Comma
Next x
Formula = Left(Formula, Len(Formula) - 1) & ")" 'Remove trailing comma and add parenthesis
Range("B1").Formula = Formula 'Where do you want to put this formula?
End Sub
Results:
The functions return strings and not actual worksheets. The Worksheet does not parse strings well. So add a third function that uses the Evaluate function:
Function MySum(rng As Range)
MySum = Application.Caller.Parent.Evaluate("SUM(" & FirstSheet & ":" & LastSheet & "!" & rng.Address & ")")
End Function
Then you would simply call it: MySum(A1)
It uses the other two function you already have created to create a string that can be evaluated as a formula.
I didn't understand ur question completely but As I understood u have different sheets of different clients which contains supoose column 1 date and column 2
contains hours on that particular date wise hours and a final sheet which column1 contains name of client and column 2 contains total hoursPlease try it
Sub countHours()
Dim last_Row As Integer
Dim sum As Double
sum = 0
'Because I know number of client
For i = 1 To 2 'i shows client particular sheet
last_Row = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Sheets(i).Activate
For j = 2 To last_Row
'In my Excel sheet column 1 contains dates and column 2 contains number of hours
sum = sum + Cells(j, 2)
'MsgBox sum
Next j
'Sheet 3 is my final sheet
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(3).Cells(i + 1, 2).Value = sum
sum = 0
Next i
End Sub

Excel Macro - pull cell function until the end of the table

I will use an example to illustrate my question:
I have many tables which their lines quantity is different.
I want to pull down the function until the end of the table.
For example:
A B
1 =1*2 // <- this is the function that I want to pull
2
3
4
The output should be:
A B
1 =1*2
2 =2*2
3 =3*2
4 =4*2
It is important that the pull length is determined by the last cell at column A (in this case it is 4)
Please also note that the function may be changed either, this should work for any function.
Thank you,
Doron
Here is an example of a macro that will autofill the value from cell B1 to the end of the column to the left of it (in this case column A).
Sub AutoFill()
Dim FillFrom As Range
Set FillFrom = ActiveSheet.Range("B1")
FillFrom.AutoFill Destination:=Range(FillFrom.Address, FillFrom.Offset(0, -1).End(xlDown).Offset(0, 1).Address)
End Sub
Try This:
Public Sub DoWhatIWantYouToDo()
Dim lr As Integer, i As Integer
lr = Sheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.Rows.Count
For i = 2 To lr
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B" & i).Formula = "=" & " A" & i & "*2"
Next
End Sub

Excel VBA - Loop through range and set formula in each cell

I've got a workbook where I have one worksheet which contains a lot of data.
My goal is to create a macro that inserts a formula in a separate sheet to copy the data from the first sheet. Lets call the first sheet "Numbers1" and the second sheet "TidyNumbers1".
In the sheet "TidyNumbers1" I want to loop through each cell from column A to M and rows 1 to 60. So I've got a macro that so far looks like this:
Sub updateFormulasForNamedRange()
Dim row, col, fieldCount As Integer
colCount = 13
RowCount = 60
For col = 1 To colCount
For row = 1 To RowCount
Dim strColCharacter
If col > 26 Then
strColCharacter = Chr(Int((row - 1) / 26) + 64) & Chr(((row - 1) Mod 26) + 65)
Else
strColCharacter = Chr(row + 64)
End If
Worksheets("TidyNumbers1").Cells(row, col).Formula = "=IF(Numbers1!E" & col & "<>0;Numbers1!" & strColCharacter & row & ";"")"
Next row
Next col
End Sub
But the formula is supposed to looks like this for Column A, row 2:
IF(Numbers1!E2<>0;Numbers1!A2;"")"
And the formula in Column A, row 3 should look like this:
IF(Numbers1!E3<>0;Numbers1!A3;"")"
Formula in Column B, row 2 should look like this:
IF(Numbers1!E2<>0;Numbers1!B2;"")"
In other words, the formula looks to see if the value in Column E, row % is anything but 0 and copies it if conditions are met.
But, I see that I need to translate my integer variable Row with letters, because the formula probably needs "A" instead of 1. Also, I get a 1004 error (Application-defined or object-defined error) if I just try to use:
Worksheets("Numbers1").Cells(row, col).Formula = "=IF(Numbers1!E" & row & "<>0;Numbers1!" & col & row & ";"")"
I clearly see that the integer row should be translated to letters, if that's possible. Or if anyone has any other suggestions that might work. Also, the 1004 error is unclear to me why happens. I can define a string variable and set the exact same value to it, and there's no error. So it's probably the formula bar that whines about it I guess?
Here is a former post of mine containing functions for conversion of column numbers to letters and vice versa:
VBA Finding the next column based on an input value
EDIT: to your 1004 error: Try something like this:
=IF(Numbers1!E" & row & "<>0,Numbers1!A" & row & ","""")"
(use ; instead of ,, and "" for one quotation mark in a basic string, """" for two quotation marks).
Would not it be easier to get the cell address with the Cells.Address function?
For example:
MsgBox Cells(1, 5).Address
Shows "$E$1"
