Excel - assemble folder path by skipping empty cells - excel

For processing with other application I Need to prepare a Folder path.
The desired result is the green column. There should be a Formula doing something like "take a step to the Right - go upwards until you find a value" then put together with the value in yellow cell + do same with next column.
In Brief: a) Yellow is Achor b) orange columns B/C/D are user's entries c) green is desired result.

I had to do this once with an xml that I needed to represent as a flat file. If you copy those values down to fill blank cells, you could just have a column that concatenates each column to the left. But that's not very programmatic and a bit labor intensive.

Here's some VBA that will do what I explained above but automatically instead. Might be clunky but it works in my tests. It was easier to fill in the blanks than to go down and left and right and program all that if/then logic.
Turns this
Into this
Sub pathMaker()
Dim r As Integer
Dim c As Integer
Dim lrow As Integer
Dim lcol As Integer
Dim firstrow As Integer
Dim headers As String
Dim resultcol As Integer
lcol = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count
lrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
resultcol = lcol + 1
headers = MsgBox("Does your data contain a header row?",
vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Headers")
' Determines whether to make the first or second row a
'filepath
If headers = vbYes Then
firstrow = 2
'lrow = lrow - 1
Else
firstrow = 1
End If
'Goes through each row a column at a time and copies the
'filepath element down (which results
'in an extra row at the end, but it isn't included in the
'list of filepaths later so just ignore)
For c = 1 To lcol
Select Case c
Case 1
For r = firstrow To lrow
If IsEmpty(Cells(r, c).Offset(1, 0)) = True Then
Cells(r, c).Offset(1, 0) = Cells(r, c)
End If
Next r
Case Is > 1
For r = firstrow To lrow
If IsEmpty(Cells(r, c).Offset(1, 0)) = True Then
If Cells(r, c).Offset(1, -1) = Cells(r,
c).Offset(0, -1) Then
Cells(r, c).Offset(1, 0) = Cells(r, c)
End If
End If
Next r
End Select
Next c
'Concatenates populated cells into filepaths in the last
'column plus one
For ir = firstrow To lrow
For ic = 1 To lcol
If IsEmpty(Cells(ir, ic)) = False Then
Cells(ir, resultcol) = Cells(ir, resultcol) &
Cells(ir, ic) & "\"
End If
Next ic
Next ir
End Sub
Hope it helps! Good luck.

Sum Values based on Duplicates - VBA

I am looking for a VBA solution to be able to:
Look for duplicated values in column "A" and format. (Possible with the code below)
With each subsequent duplicate found, the code should sum all the values from Columns "J" through "N" on the first value and fill the duplicated cell black (help)
Sub CombineDuplicates()
Dim Cell As Variant
Dim PList As Range
lRow = Worksheets("Material Planning").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Set PList = Worksheets("Material Planning").Range("A4:A" & lRow)
For Each Cell In PList
'Checking whether value in cell already exist in the source range
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(PList, Cell) > 1 Then
'Highlight duplicate values in red color
cRow = Cell.Row
Range("A" & cRow & ":R" & cRow).Interior.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
Else
Cell.Interior.Pattern = xlNone
End If
Next
End Sub
Please see the picture for reference. Top is unfiltered data and the bottom is how it should look after the macro runs. Please let me know if you need any more information. Thanks in advance!
This uses a dictionary to detect duplicates and a class to keep your data organized
Place this piece inside of a class module:
Option Explicit
Private data As datasum
Private prow As Long
Private ptargetsheet As Worksheet
Private Type datasum
thirtyday As Long
threemonth As Long
expectedusage As Double
ordertarget As Double
stock As Long
avgdayleft As Long
dayleft As Long
pending As Long
End Type
Sub initialize(targetsheet As Worksheet, row As Long)
Set ptargetsheet = targetsheet
prow = row
End Sub
Sub addData(dataArray As Variant)
data.thirtyday = data.thirtyday + dataArray(1, 1)
data.threemonth = data.threemonth + dataArray(1, 2)
data.expectedusage = data.expectedusage + dataArray(1, 3)
data.ordertarget = data.ordertarget + dataArray(1, 4)
data.stock = data.stock + dataArray(1, 5)
data.avgdayleft = data.avgdayleft + dataArray(1, 6)
data.dayleft = data.dayleft + dataArray(1, 8)
data.pending = data.pending + dataArray(1, 9)
End Sub
Sub placeData()
With ptargetsheet
.Cells(prow, 6).Value = data.thirtyday
.Cells(prow, 7).Value = data.threemonth
.Cells(prow, 8).Value = data.expectedusage
.Cells(prow, 9).Value = data.ordertarget
.Cells(prow, 10).Value = data.stock
.Cells(prow, 11).Value = data.avgdayleft
.Cells(prow, 13).Value = data.dayleft
.Cells(prow, 14).Value = data.pending
End With
End Sub
And this piece in either your sheet module or a regular module:
Option Explicit
Sub CombineDuplicates()
Dim i As Long
Dim lRow As Long
Dim dict As Object
Set dict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Dim data As DataClass
With Sheets("Material Planning")
lRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).row
For i = 4 To lRow
If Not dict.exists(.Cells(i, 1).Value) Then
Set data = New DataClass
data.initialize Sheets("Material Planning"), i
data.addData .Range(.Cells(i, 6), .Cells(i, 14)).Value
dict.Add .Cells(i, 1).Value, data
Else
dict(.Cells(i, 1).Value).addData .Range(.Cells(i, 6), .Cells(i, 14)).Value
dict(.Cells(i, 1).Value).placeData
.Range(.Cells(i, 1), .Cells(i, 14)).Interior.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
End If
Next i
End With
End Sub
This would be a simple, but probably not the fastest way of doing it:
Sub CombineDuplicates()
Dim Cell As Variant, PList As Range
Dim i As Long, j As Long, a As Long
Dim k(7) As Long
LRow = Worksheets(1).Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 4 To LRow
Erase k
If Not Range("A" & i).Interior.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0) Then
For j = i + 1 To LRow
If Range("A" & i).Value = Range("A" & j).Value Then
For a = 0 To 7
k(a) = k(a) + Cells(j, a + 2)
Next a
Range("A" & j & ":N" & j).Interior.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
End If
Next j
For a = 0 To 7
Cells(i, a + 2) = Cells(i, a + 2) + k(a)
Next a
End If
Next i
End Sub
Essentially, for each row that isn't black (to avoid unnessecary calculaitons) we loop the rest of the range to look for duplicats. Add the values in the array k and keep looking.
Then we end the subloop by adding the number from the array to the current row, and keep going.
Should probably add something to clear the interior formatting first, for subsequent runs.
So after sitting and brainstorming for a while, I figured that I was trying to overcomplicate things. Thanks to your responses it helped me figure out the direction that I wanted to go. This is the current code that I have which is working flawlessly! It is a little slow, but since I am not going to be shifting through thousands of data points, its is manageable.
I tried to insert value added comments in the code to show the process:
Sub CombineDuplicates()
Dim Cell As Variant
Dim PList As Range
Worksheets("Material Planning").Unprotect
Set ws = Worksheets("Material Planning")
'set last row of working range
lRow = Worksheets("Material Planning").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
'Toggle parameter. If any cells in range are not colored then it will execute the macro to add common values
If Range("A4:A" & lRow).Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone Then
For i = 1 To lRow
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
'since all of the "duplicate" values are listed near each oter, I just need to compare them one after another
Fst = ws.Range("A" & i)
Snd = ws.Range("A" & i + 1)
If Snd = Fst Then
'saves the Formula from the cell but just adds the value from the current cell to the next one
'this way even if there are more than 2 duplicates, the sum will continue on to the next cell
ws.Range("F" & i + 1).Formula = ws.Range("F" & i + 1).Formula & "+" & ws.Range("F" & i).Value
ws.Range("G" & i + 1).Formula = ws.Range("G" & i + 1).Formula & "+" & ws.Range("G" & i).Value
ws.Range("J" & i + 1).Formula = ws.Range("J" & i + 1).Formula & "+" & ws.Range("J" & i).Value
'The whole Row will be filled black so that it is not considered in the analysis
Range("A" & i & ":U" & i).Interior.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
Else
'if there is already formatting on any cells in column A, this will remove the filled black formatting from all cells in the range
Range("A4:U" & lRow).Interior.Color = xlNone
ws.Range("F4:N" & ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 6).End(xlUp).Row).FillDown
ws.Range("P4:U" & ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 6).End(xlUp).Row).FillDown
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
Worksheets("Material Planning").Protect
End Sub
Thank you all for your help and advice on this!
Excel has a built-in dedup function. Can you not programmatically copy the 'Simple Description' column at the top to the area underneath, run the dedup on the range containing the copy, then add sumifs to the remaining columns?
The code below creates the bottom table from the top table shown in the picture.
Sub Dedup()
Range("A1:A9").Copy
Range("A12").PasteSpecial
Range("B1:E1").Copy
Range("B12").PasteSpecial
Range("A13:A20").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=1
Range("B13").Formula = "=SUMIF($A$2:$A$9,$A13,B$2:B$9)"
Range("B13").Copy Destination:=Range("B13:E17")
End Sub
Of course, this doesn't maintain the structure with the black rows, but I haven't understood why you need that anyway, since you still have the original table.
And you'll want to do something a little more sophisticated about identifying the correct ranges, particularly for the copied table and when copying the sumif formula from the first cell to the last cell in the range that results from the deduplication. I've kept it simple here for expediency.
Edit: If you want the bottom table to reflect the structure of the original table, you could do a countif on each of the rows in the copy and insert the requisit number of rows that that gives you, and make the new rows black.
Paste Special xlPasteSpecialOperationAdd
This is a slow solution but may be easily understood.
It loops through the cells in column A and uses Application.Match to find the index (position) of the first occurrence. If it is not the same then it colors the row and uses PasteSpecial with xlPasteSpecialOperationAdd to add the found values to the values defined by the index.
Application.ScreenUpdating will speed up the code hiding the on-going 'worksheet dance'.
The Code
Option Explicit
Sub CombineDuplicates()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim PList As Range
Dim Cell As Range
Dim ColsAll As Range
Dim Cols1 As Range
Dim Cols2 As Range
Dim cIndex As Variant
Dim lRow As Long
Dim cRow As Long
Set ws = Worksheets("Material Planning")
lRow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Set PList = ws.Range("A4:A" & lRow)
Set ColsAll = ws.Columns("A:N")
Set Cols1 = ws.Columns("F:K")
Set Cols2 = ws.Columns("M:N")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each Cell In PList.Cells
cRow = Cell.Row
cIndex = Application.Match(Cell.Value, PList, 0) + 3
If cIndex < cRow Then
ColsAll.Rows(cRow).Interior.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
Cols1.Rows(cRow).Copy
Cols1.Rows(cIndex) _
.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, xlPasteSpecialOperationAdd
Cols2.Rows(cRow).Copy
Cols2.Rows(cIndex) _
.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, xlPasteSpecialOperationAdd
Else
ColsAll.Rows(cRow).Interior.Pattern = xlNone
End If
Next
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ws.Range("A3").Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Try this code, please. It should be very fast, using arrays and working only in memory and does not need to color anything. The processing result, meaning only the unique values with the necessary sum per each column will be dropped on a new sheet added after the processed one:
Sub CombineDuplicates()
`It needs a reference to 'Microsoft Scripting Runtime'
Dim LROW As Long, arrA, arr, arrR(4), arrF, dict As New Scripting.Dictionary
Dim sh As Worksheet, resSh As Worksheet, i As Long, j As Long, arrFin
Set sh = Worksheets("Material Planning")
LROW = sh.cells(rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).row
arrA = sh.Range("A4:A" & LROW).value
arr = sh.Range("J4:N" & LROW).value
For i = 1 To UBound(arrA)
If Not dict.Exists(arrA(i, 1)) Then
For j = 0 To 4
arrR(j) = arr(i, j + 1)
Next j
dict.Add arrA(i, 1), arrR
Else
For j = 0 To 4
arrR(j) = dict(arrA(i, 1))(j) + arr(i, j + 1)
Next j
dict(arrA(i, 1)) = arrR
End If
Next i
ReDim arrFin(1 To dict.Count, 1 To 5)
ReDim arrF(1 To dict.Count, 1 To 1)
For i = 0 To dict.Count - 1
arrF(i + 1, 1) = dict.Keys(i)
For j = 0 To 4
arrFin(i + 1, j + 1) = dict.items(i)(j)
Next
Next i
Set resSh = Worksheets.Add(After:=sh) 'add a new sheet aftere the active one and drop the array at once
resSh.Range("A2").Resize(UBound(arrF), 1).value = arrF
resSh.Range("J2").Resize(UBound(arrFin), UBound(arrFin, 2)).value = arrFin
End Sub
This approach will allow running the code as many times you need, after eventual updates or just in case. Otherwise, it will return double dates each next time...
If you have a problem with adding the necessary reference, please run the next code before the one able to process your data:
Sub addScrRunTimeRef()
'Add a reference to 'Microsoft Scripting Runtime':
'In case of error ('Programmatic access to Visual Basic Project not trusted'):
'Options->Trust Center->Trust Center Settings->Macro Settings->Developer Macro Settings->
' check "Trust access to the VBA project object model"
Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.References.AddFromFile "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\scrrun.dll"
End Sub
Edited:
If you insist to keep all the range, and making black the interior of duplicates, you can try the next code, also very fast. It will also return in a newly created sheet, but only for testing reason. If it does what you want, the code can be easily adapted to overwrite the existing range of the active sheet:
Sub CombineDuplicatesKeepAll()

LROW = sh.cells(rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).row
firstR = 4 'first row of the range to be processed
arrA = sh.Range("A" & firstR & ":N" & LROW).value 'place the range to be processed in an array
ReDim arrFin(1 To UBound(arrA), 1 To UBound(arrA, 2)) 'set the final array at the same dimensions
For i = 1 To UBound(arrA) 'iterate between the array elements
If Not dict.Exists(arrA(i, 1)) Then 'if not a dictionary key as value in column A:A (array column 1):
arrR(0) = sh.Range("A" & i + firstR - 1).Address 'place the cell address like forst dictionary item array element
arrR(1) = i 'the array second element will be the array row (to update it later)
arrFin(i, 1) = arrA(i, 1) 'first element of the final array, on i row will be the first column value
For j = 2 To 14
arrR(j) = arrA(i, j) 'input the rest of the row values in the array to be the dictionary item
arrFin(i, j) = arrA(i, j) 'place the same values in the final array
Next j
dict.Add arrA(i, 1), arrR 'add the array built above like dictionary item
Else
arrR(0) = dict(arrA(i, 1))(0) 'keep the same call address like the first element of the array to be input as item
arrFin(i, 1) = arrA(i, 1) 'place the value in column A:A in the first column of the final array
arrR(1) = dict(arrA(i, 1))(1) 'keep the row of the first dictionary key occurrence
For j = 2 To 14 'fill the array with the values of all row columns
If j <= 9 Then 'for first 9 columns keep their value
arrR(j) = dict(arrA(i, 1))(j)
Else 'for the rest (J to N) add the existing value (in dictionary) to the cells value
arrR(j) = dict(arrA(i, 1))(j) + arrA(i, j)
End If
arrFin(i, j) = arrA(i, j) 'fill the final array with the row data
Next j
dict(arrA(i, 1)) = arrR 'place the array like dictionary item
If rngCol Is Nothing Then 'if range to be colored does not exist, create it:
Set rngCol = sh.Range("A" & i + firstR - 1 & ":N" & i + firstR - 1)
Else 'if it exists, make a Union between existing and the new one:
Set rngCol = Union(rngCol, sh.Range("A" & i + firstR - 1 & ":N" & i + firstR - 1))
End If
End If
Next i
'adapt te final array rows which used to be the first occurrence of the same dictionary key:
For i = 0 To dict.Count - 1
k = dict.items(i)(1) 'extract the previously memorized row to be updated
For j = 2 To 14 'adapt the row content, for the row range equivalent columns
arrFin(k, j) = dict.items(i)(j)
Next
Next i
'just for testing, paste the result in a new added sheet.
'If everything OK, the code can drop the value in the active sheet
Set resSh = Worksheets.Add(After:=sh)
'drop the array content at once:
resSh.Range("A4").Resize(UBound(arrFin), UBound(arrFin, 2)).value = arrFin
If Not resSh Is Nothing Then _
resSh.Range(rngCol.Address).Interior.Color = vbBlack 'color the interior of the next occurrences
End Sub
I tried commenting the code lines, in a way to be easily understood. If something unclear, do not hesitate to ask for clarifications.
Please, send some feedback after testing it.

Can I make my VBA code work Faster? it currently takes 7 minutes to look through 1300 rows and 500 columns

Variance Table Sample I'm working on an Excel Macros (VBA) to look through every 3rd cell of each row in a data set and perform a copy paste action based on conditions (Please see the code at the bottom).
The source data is in a another worksheet (Variance). It has 1300+ IDs (rows) and 3 columns for each value component (col 1 - value 1, col 2 - value 2, and col 3 - the difference between the 2 values) and likewise there are 500+ columns.
My code basically looks through every third column (the difference column) of each row to find out if the value is a number, not equal to zero, and if it's not an error (there are errors in the source sheet). If yes, it copies the Emp ID, the column Name, and both the values into another worksheet called vertical analysis (one below the other).
The code works fine, but it takes 6 to 7 minutes for a data set with 1000+ rows and 500+ columns.
Can someone please tell me if there is a faster way to do this than to loop through each row?
Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks in advance.

Dim i As Long
Dim cell As Range
Dim lastrow As Range

You might try to use SQL. In order to learn how to use sql in EXCEL VBA, I suggest you to follow this tuto and to apply your learn on your macro. They will be faster =)

Better not to hit the sheet so many times.
Below is tested and should run in a few seconds, but you may need to tweak the column positions etc:

How to find duplicates values in a row and then find largest value in another column based on the duplicates?

I have three columns - ID, Stage, and Revenue.
The ID string can be duplicated two or more times, so the number of duplicate ids is unknown.
There are two criteria, one is solved.
If Stage = 5 then Accept is to be written in the last column.
If not 5 then Reject is to be written.
Find each duplicate ID and find the highest revenue value for that duplicate ID.
If it is the highest then mark Accept.
The lower values will already have reject beside them due to the way I set up the first criteria.
Sub FindandAssignValue()
'This will check to see if Stage is a 5 if yes it will Accept if not it
'will say Remove - this works properly
For currentRow = 2 To LastRow
'Will tell me the current value in the leadstage column
currentValue = Range("I" & currentRow).Value
If currentValue = "5" Then
Range("N" & currentRow).Value = "Accept"
Else
Range("N" & currentRow).Value = "Remove"
End If
Next currentRow
currentValue = Range("A" & currentRow).Value
Dim MyArray(1 To lr, 1 To lc) As Variant
'fill up the rows
For r = 1 To lr
For c = 1 To lc 'fill the columns up
MyArray(r, c) = Cells(r + 1, c).Value
Next c
Next r
End Sub
If you add a necessary reference (Open VB Editor > Tools > References > Scroll down until you find "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" > Tick it > Click OK), I think this code should work.
You will likely need to change the name of someSheet to whatever your worksheet is called.
I've assumed your source data (including headers) begins in cell A1 and ends at some row for column C. You can change this as needed.
Results will be written to sheet starting from cell H1. You can change this as needed.

Excel VBA: How to transform this kind of cells?

I am not sure if the title is correct. Please correct me if you have a better idea.
Here is my problem: Please see the picture.
This excel sheet contains only one column, let's say ColumnA. In ColumnA there are some cells repeat themselvs in the continued cells twice or three times (or even more).
I want to have the excel sheet transformed according to those repeated cells. For those items which repeat three times or more, keep only two of them.
[Shown in the right part of the picture. There are three Bs originally, target is just keep two Bs and delete the rest Bs.]
It's a very difficult task for me. To make it easier, it's no need to delete the empty rows after transformation.
Any kind of help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Update:
Please see the picture. Please dont delete the items if they show again...
EDITED - SEE BELOW Try this. Data is assumed to be in "Sheet1", and ordered data is written to "Results". I named your repeted data (A, B, C, etc) as sMarker, and values in between as sInsideTheMarker. If markers are not consecutive, the code will fail.
Private Sub ReOrderData()
Dim lLastRow As Long
Dim i As Integer
Dim a As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim sMarker As String
Dim sInsideTheMarker As String
'Get number of rows with data:
lLastRow = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
j = 0
k = 1
a = 2
'Scan all rows with data:
For i = 1 To lLastRow
If (Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i + 1, 1).Value = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 1).Value) Then 'If two consecutive cells holds the same value
j = j + 1
If j = 1 Then
k = k + 1
a = 2
sMarker = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 1).Value
Worksheets("Results").Cells(k, 1).Value = sMarker
End If
Else 'If not same values in consecutive cells
sInsideTheMarker = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 1).Value
Worksheets("Results").Cells(k, a).Value = sInsideTheMarker
a = a + 1
j = 0
End If
Next i
End Sub
EDITION: If you want results in the same sheet ("Sheet1"), and keep the empty rows for results to look exactly as your question, try the following
Private Sub ReOrderData()
Dim lLastRow As Long
Dim i As Integer
Dim a As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim sMarker As String
Dim sInsideTheMarker As String
'Get number of rows with data:
lLastRow = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
j = 0
k = 1
a = 5
'Scan all rows with data:
For i = 1 To lLastRow
If (Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i + 1, 1).Value = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 1).Value) Then 'If two consecutive cells holds the same value
j = j + 1
If j = 1 Then
k = i
a = 5
sMarker = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 1).Value
Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(k, 4).Value = sMarker
End If
Else 'If not same values in consecutive cells
sInsideTheMarker = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 1).Value
Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(k, a).Value = sInsideTheMarker
a = a + 1
j = 0
End If
Next i
End Sub
If you can delete the values that have more than two counts, then I suggest that this might work:
Sub count_macro()
Dim a As Integer
Dim b As Integer
a = 1
While Cells(a, 1) <> ""
b = WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("A1:A1000"), Cells(a, 1))
If b > 2 Then
Cells(a, 1).Delete Shift:=xlUp
End If
b = 0
a = a + 1
Wend
End Sub
This should do it. It takes input in column A starting in Row 2 until it ends, and ignores more than 2 same consecutive values. Then it copies them in sets and pastes them transposed. If your data is in a different column and row, change the sourceRange variable and the i variable accordingly.
Sub SETranspose()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim sourceRange As range
Dim copyRange As range
Dim myCell As range
Set sourceRange = range("A2", Cells(Rows.count, 1).End(xlUp))
Dim startCell As range
Set startCell = sourceRange(1, 1)
Dim i As Integer
Dim haveTwo As Boolean
haveTwo = True
For i = 3 To Cells(Rows.count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1
If Cells(i, 1).Value = startCell.Value Then
If haveTwo Then
range(startCell, Cells(i, 1)).Copy
startCell.Offset(0, 4).PasteSpecial Transpose:=True
Application.CutCopyMode = False
haveTwo = False
End If
End If
'if the letter changes or end of set, then copy the set over
'If LCase(Left(Cells(i, 1).Value, 1)) <> LCase(startCell.Value) Or _
'i = Cells(Rows.count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1 Then
If Len(Cells(i, 1).Value) > 1 Then
Set copyRange = Cells(i, 1)
copyRange.Copy
Cells(startCell.Row, Columns.count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, 1).PasteSpecial
Application.CutCopyMode = False
'Set startCell = sourceRange(i - 1, 1)
ElseIf Len(Cells(i, 1).Value) = 1 And Cells(i, 1).Value <> startCell.Value Then
Set startCell = sourceRange(i - 1, 1)
haveTwo = True
End If
Next i
'clear up data
Set sourceRange = Nothing
Set copyRange = Nothing
Set startCell = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Copy only cells >0

I'm a Macro novice - just figured out how to add the developer tab, so sorry if my question is dumb. I have a list of items in Column A and quantity in Column B. I want to copy Columns A and B to Columns D and E, but only if the value in Column B > 0 - and I want them to stack, no blank spaces for the quantity = 0 ones. I found some code online:
Sub copyAboveZero()
Dim sourceRng As Range
Dim cell As Range
Dim i As Long
Set sourceRng = ActiveSheet.Range("B6:B24")
i = 6
For Each cell In sourceRng
If cell.Value > 0 Then
cell.Resize(1, 2).Copy Destination:=Range("D" & i)
i = i + 1
End If
Next cell
End Sub
The problem is that in this example, the quantity was in the first cell. This one is copying Columns B and C, and I want it to copy A and B. What do I need to change? Also, can you paste special values only? I don't want the formatting to come with it.
How about:
Sub KopyKat()
Dim N As Long, i As Long
Dim j As Long
N = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
j = 1
For i = 1 To N
If Cells(i, "B").Value > 0 Then
Range(Cells(i, "A"), Cells(i, "B")).Copy Cells(j, "D")
j = j + 1
End If
Next i
End Sub
EDIT#1:
This addresses your comments:
Sub KopyKat()
Dim N As Long, i As Long
Dim J As Long
N = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
J = 6
For i = 6 To N
If Cells(i, "B").Value > 0 And Cells(i, "B") <> "" Then
Range(Cells(i, "A"), Cells(i, "B")).Copy
Cells(J, "D").PasteSpecial (xlValues)
J = J + 1
End If
Next i
End Sub
