So data gets pasted in to column B as the code keeps running it'll do a condition check to see there's any values in column B and paste a value in to the adjacent column A. I need to make it so it does two condition checks:
If there's values in column b, but then to check if there's values in column A before pasting so it doesn't overwrite different data that's been pasted already.
For Each Cell In y.Sheets("Compiled").Range("A:B")
If Range("B:B").Value <> "" And Range("A:A").Value = "" Then
Cell.Offset(0, -1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End If
Next
You were close, don't try to loop over a multiple column range:
Sub Test()
For Each Cell In y.Sheets("Compiled").Range("B:B")
If Cell.Value <> "" And Cell.Offset(0, -1).Value = "" Then
Cell.Offset(0, -1).Value = Cell.Value
End If
Next
End Sub
NOTE: You are looping through every cell in Range("B:B") which is probably unnecessary. It'd be better if you use a lastrow value, or a static range like Range("B2:B1000"). Or you could use a criteria to exit your loop like If Cell.Value = "" Then Exit For.
Here's a version of the code that implements the lastrow value that dwirony mentioned in their answer. This also throws everything in arrays, so it might go a bit faster if you have a really large dataset.
Option Explicit
Sub test()
Dim ACol As Variant
Dim BCol As Variant
Dim lastrow As Long
Dim i As Long
lastrow = Range("B:B").Find("*", searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious).row
BCol = Range("B1:B" & lastrow).Value
ACol = Range("A1:A" & lastrow).Value
For i = LBound(BCol) To UBound(BCol)
If IsEmpty(ACol(i, 1)) And Not IsEmpty(BCol(i, 1)) Then
ACol(i, 1) = BCol(i, 1)
End If
Next i
Range("A1:A" & lastrow).Value = ACol
End Sub

I have 100.000 records/rows with 17 columns. One of these columns needs to be checked to output either a 1 or 0 to the next column. For this I use a loop with the Instr function, but after 10 mins it still isn't outputting anything on my machine and I believe the code is too intensive or slow running it row for row.
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Range("F:F")
For Each cell In rng
TicketType = cell
If InStr(1, TicketType, "locker", 1) > 0 Then
cell.Offset(0, 1) = 1
Else
cell.Offset(0, 1) = 0
End If
Next
There are only 100 TicketTypes to check however, and based on the names of these TicketTypes it should output a 1 or 0 (match or not). So I was thinking, maybe there is a way to sort the entire table, run through it to see which categories there are, store their vertical ranges, run a check and then output +-10.000 rows at once? I noticed this is instant, so I believe it's really the Instr function that is the bottleneck.
Try this:
Dim rng As Range, f
With ActiveSheet
Set rng = Application.Intersect(.Columns("F"), .UsedRange)
f = "=--NOT(ISERROR(SEARCH(""locker""," & rng(1).Address(False, False) & ")))"
Debug.Print f
rng.Offset(0, 1).Formula = f
rng.Offset(0, 1).Value = rng.Offset(0, 1).Value
End With
Variant array approach
As mentioned by BigBen it's faster than looping through each cell by means of VBA.
Sub VariantArray()
With Sheet1
'~~> Set you relevant range here
Dim lastRow As Long, rng As Range
lastRow = .Range("F" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = .Range("F1:F" & lastRow)
'~~> create a one based 2-dim datafield array
Dim myArray As Variant
myArray = rng
'~~> check TicketType
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To UBound(myArray)
myArray(i, 1) = IIf(InStr(1, myArray(i, 1), "locker", 1) > 0, 1, 0)
Next i
'~~> fill target with array values
rng.Offset(0, 1) = myArray
End With
End Sub
you could try filtering:
With Worksheets("actualSheetName") '<-- change "actualSheetName" to your actual sheet name
With .Range("F1", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp))
.Offset(, 1).Value = 0
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="*locker*"
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Offset(, 1) = 1
End With
.AutoFilterMode = False
End With
As suggested by BigBen, a far better solution is the usage of a worksheet function, like Find.All() (at least that how I think it's called). If it finds something, it gives a number, else it gives an error. You might turn this into an interesting formula like this:
=IF(IF.ERR(FIND.ALL("locker";A2);0)=0;0;1)
I am trying to create a Macro which will help me look for "," and if it finds it. It will copy the entire row without the first "," it sees and insert another row underneath.
For example. 9877352, 9877354
It will turn that one line into two lines with the same information.
Only different is 9877352 will be on one row and then 9877354 will be in the following row in the same table.
Code So Far:
Sub comma()
Dim i As Long
Dim text As String
Dim myCell As Range
FinalRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To FinalRow
thisvalue = Cells(i, 5).Value
If thisvalue Like "*,*" Then
Cells(i, 5).EntireRow.Copy
'I don't know what to put here
'Cells(i, 5).EntireRow.Insert
End If
Next i
End Sub
If there is a chance of there being more than two commas in a cell, I would use an array. Does the column ever change? If not I would do something like this...
Sub comma()
Dim Order As Variant, cell As Range
For Each cell In Range("E:E") 'Enter static column reference here
If cell.Value Like "*,*" Then
Order = Split(cell, ",")
For i = LBound(Order) To UBound(Order)
If i = 0 Then
cell.Value = Order(i)
Else
cell.EntireRow.Copy
cell.EntireRow.Insert
Range("E" & cell.Row) = Trim(Order(i))
End If
Next i
Else
End If
Next cell
End Sub
I currently have a VBScript that takes in an Excel document and re-formats it into another Excel document that's more organized.
This code must also look at the values of the CATALOG column ("B1") and place it in the Drawings column ("M1") ONLY if the beginning of the value starts with "EDASM", "EDBSM" etc., yet the "ED" prefix must be eliminated when it's moved.
For example, Catalog number EDF12-01114 would result in nothing being placed in the drawings column, but with EDSM10265, we would need SM10265 to be placed in the drawings column (drop the "ED").
All I've got so far is this, which isn't even complete:
Set objRange = objWorkSheet.Range("M1").EntireColumn
IF
objWorkSheet.Range("B1").Row = "EDF*" THEN 'Maybe correct-ish? Not sure about syntax
objRange = Null
Else
objRange = ("B1") 'Totally an awful guess, but I have no clue what to put here
End If
I've seen similar code that has loops and whatnot, but none of them seem to be doing what I need to be done. Thank you!
EDIT: Current code based off of BruceWayne's. Still doesn't return anything in Excel datasheet's Drawing column, but it looks like it's closer...
Sub move_Text()
Dim lastRow, nextRow, cel , rng
lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row ' Since your Col. B is the data, let's find that column's last row
Set rng = Range(Cells(1, 2), Cells(lastRow, 2))
nextRow = 1
For Each cel In rng
If Left(cel.Value, 3) <> "EDF" Then
Cells(nextRow, 13).Value = Mid(cel.Value, 3, Len(cel.Value) - 2)
nextRow = nextRow + 1
End If
Next
End Sub
Another edit!
Catalog column is now "C", not "B". Also, I have two header rows, so the first catalog number is located in "C3".
Thanks again! We're getting closer.

IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
In the Google Drive files: TestScript.vbs is the file where all the code is. When the script is run, select ExcelImport. That should return FinalDocument
I guess this is what you are looking for:
Sub move_Text()
Dim lastRow, nextRow, cel, rng
'get last row with data in Column B
lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
'set your range starting from Cell B2

'loop through all the cells in the range to check for "EDF" and "ED"
For Each cel In rng
'below condition is to check if the string starts with "EDF"
If cel.Value Like "EDF*" Then
'do nothing
'below condition is to check if the string starts with "ED"
ElseIf cel.Value Like "ED*" Then
'drop first two characters of cell's value and write in Column M
cel.Offset(0, 11).Value = Right(cel.Value, Len(cel.Value) - 2)
'else condition will be executed when none of the above two conditions are satisfied
'else condition is based on the link mentioned in your question that will handle words like "ELECTRICAL BOX"
Else
'write cell's value in Column Q
cel.Offset(0, 11).Value = cel.Value
End If
Next
End Sub

How's this work for you?
Sub move_Text()
Dim lastRow&, nextRow&
Dim cel As Range, rng As Range
lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row ' Since your Col. B is the data, let's find that column's last row
Set rng = Range(Cells(1, 2), Cells(lastRow, 2))
nextRow = 1
For Each cel In rng
If Left(cel.Value, 2) = "ED" Then
Cells(nextRow, 13).Value = Mid(cel.Value, 3, Len(cel.Value) - 2)
nextRow = nextRow + 1
End If
Next cel
End Sub
It will set the range to be your Column B, from row 1 to the last row. Then, loop through each cell in there, checking the left two letters. If "ED", then move the data, but take off the "ED".
Edit: Just realized you're using VBScript. Remove the as Range and & from the declarations, so it's just Dim lastRow, nextRow, cel, rng.
If your criteria is met, this will copy values (minus the ED prefix) from Column B to Column M.
Sub move_Text()
Dim lastRow , i
lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 3 To lastRow
If Left(Cells(i, 3), 2) = "ED" And Not (Left(Cells(i, 3), 3) = "EDF") Then
Cells(i, 13).Value = Right(Cells(i, 3, Len(Cells(i, 3)) - 2)
End If
Next
End Sub
Why not use some of excel's formulas to speed the whole thing up:
Sub My_Amazing_Solution ()
Range("M3").FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(TRIM(LEFT(RC[-10],2))=""ED"",RIGHT(TRIM(RC[-10]),LEN(RC[-10])-2),"""")"
Range("M3").AutoFill Destination:=Range("M3:M" & Range("C1048576").End(xlUp).Row), Type:=xlFillDefault
Application.Wait Now + TimeValue("00:00:03")
Range("M3:M" & Range("C1048576").End(xlUp).Row).Copy
Range("M3").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End sub
This should do it for you!
I have put together a Macro that allows me to archive Data from one sheet to another however I am having trouble having it Clear the info afterwards. The first Column contains numbers that I do not want to clear, right now it is only clearing the data in column B.
If someone could take a look at this I would be very greatful.
'Sub archive()
Dim i, lastrow
Dim mytext As String
lastrow = Sheets("Rooms").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To lastrow
mytext = Sheets("Rooms").Cells(i, "F").Text
If InStr(mytext, "yes") Then
Sheets("Rooms").Cells(i, "A").EntireRow.Copy Destination:=Sheets("Archive").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
Sheets("Rooms").Cells(i, "B").Clear
End If
Next i
End Sub'
I've taken the cell on the associated row in column B and extended it to the last cell on the same row containing any value.
Sub archive()
Dim i, lastrow
Dim mytext As String
With WorkSheets("Rooms")
lastrow = .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To lastrow
mytext = .Cells(i, "F").Text
If InStr(1, mytext, "yes", vbTextCompare) Then
.Cells(i, "A").EntireRow.Copy Destination:=Sheets("Archive").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
.Range(.Cells(i, "B"), .Cells(i, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft)).Clear
End If
Next i
End With
End Sub
Additionally, I've used a With ... End With statement to associate WorkSheets("Rooms") with all of its cells to avoid repetitive worksheet referencing.
The Range.Clear command scrubs all values and formatting. If you just want the values to be removed, you may want to switch to Range.ClearContents method.
I have two columns A and B with numbers as values.
In C1 I want =A1 + B1
In C2 I want =A2 + B2
and so on. I have written the following VBA code - while it works it adds "0" after the end of the last row in range.
Let's assume my last row is A10. It adds "0" in C11 when I run the code.
How do I prevent this?
Sub macro()
Dim R As Long
R = 1
Do
Cells(R, "C").Select
R = R + 1
ActiveCell.Formula = "=sum(" & ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2) & "," &
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1) & ")"
Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2))
End Sub
Just replace your Until condition to the following string:
Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(1, -2))
That will check the right cell for being empty. The rest of your code should remain intact.
Take a look at Do Until and Do While and While.
If you really want to iterate over cells you may go ahead. But here a method using Arrays, this will by all means reduces any performance drops that you would get looping over cells...
Option Explicit
Sub AddToRigh()
Dim i As Integer
Dim vArr As Variant
Dim LastRow As Long
'--assume you are working on Sheet 1
LastRow = Sheets(1).Cells(Rows.Count, Range("A1").Column).End(xlUp).Row
ReDim vArr(1 To LastRow)
For i = LBound(vArr) To UBound(vArr)
vArr(i) = "=Sum(RC[-2]:RC[-1])"
Next i
'--output this entire array with formulas into column C
Sheets(1).Range("C1").Resize(UBound(vArr)) = Application.Transpose(vArr)
End Sub
Output:
I'm by no means an expert in vba, but you could do this:
Sub macro()
Dim R As Long
R = 1
Do While Not IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2))
Cells(R, "C").Select
R = R + 1
ActiveCell.Formula = "=sum(" & ActiveCell.Offset(0, -2) & "," &
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1) & ")"
Loop
End Sub
I thought I'd recommend a slightly different course of action, just to give you ideas :):
Sub macro()
Dim found As Range
Set found = Range("A:A").Find("*", after:=Range("A1"), searchdirection:=xlPrevious)
If Not found Is Nothing Then
Range(Range("A1"), found).Offset(0, 2).FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[-2]+RC[-1]"
End If
End Sub
