Dynamic Range Based on User Input - excel

In excel I am creating a dynamic array. Column A contains a key, using numbers 1-7. Columns B-K contain strings. The array is made by looping from 1 to the last row and for each loop there is an if statement checking the key to see if it is on the right row. Inside the if statement the value of column B is added to the array. I have working code for this, however I need the range that gets the value in column B to be dynamic so the code will have the same result except it will work for any row, based on user input, and not just column B. I have a dynamic userform list of radio buttons at the beginning of the macro that contains all of the column headers. The user selected column head (string value) is stored in "SelectedOption".
Below is my current code, any help making the "Range("B" & i)" part dynamic based on the user input would be appreciated.
For i = 1 To lRow
If Range("A" & i) = 4 Then
ArrayTest(UBound(ArrayTest)) = Range("B" & i) 'this needs to be a dynamic range to get correct values in array
ReDim Preserve ArrayTest(UBound(ArrayTest) + 1)
End If
Next i

Solved by declaring new range using cells(row,column). Finished code below:
For i = 1 To lRow
If Range("A" & i) = 4 Then
Set arrayRange = Cells(i, SelectedColumn)
ArrayTest(UBound(ArrayTest)) = arrayRange
ReDim Preserve ArrayTest(UBound(ArrayTest) + 1)
End If
Next i

Matching the data across column and rows using VBA

I have two sheets :
Sheet 1 consist of :
Sheet 2 consist of :
And the output should show in M column in Sheet1. I am attaching the sample output here :
So,what I have here is ID in Sheet 1, for eg : ID 'US' has Abhay,Carl and Dev
and in Sheet3, I have names in column and ID in Rows.
What i want is my Sample output column should populate using macro based on matched values from Sheet3
I am using below logic but something is going wrong :
For i = 2 To 10
j = i + 1
If ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Input").Range("N" & i) = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet3").Range("A" & i) And ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Input").Range("K" & i) = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet3").Range("B1") Then
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Input").Range("O" & i) = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet3").Range("B" & j)
End If
Next i
Since you asked for a VBA solution, please see the code below.
Dim colLen As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim colPt As Integer
Dim rowPt As Integer
' Counts number of rows on Sheet 1, column B.
colLen = Sheets(1).Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
' Loops through all names on Sheet 1.
For i = 2 To colLen
' Retain US or NA ID for blank cells.
If Sheets(1).Cells(i, 1) <> "" Then
If Sheets(1).Cells(i, 1) = "US" Then
colPt = 2
Else
colPt = 3
End If
End If
' Find name on Sheet 2 and set row.
rowPt = Sheets(2).Range("A:A").Find(Sheets(1).Cells(i, 2)).Row
' Add ID from Sheet 2 to Sheet 3
Sheets(1).Cells(i, 3) = Sheets(2).Cells(rowPt, colPt)
Next i
Assumptions:
Sheet 1 is the main worksheet, sheet 2 has the lookup data.
All names in the lookup data are unique.
I would recommend including the ID in every row instead of treating it as a heading but that's preference. There are formula solutions that would work for this as well if you want to skip VBA.
There are a few ways to approach this. Below is one of them:
NOTE: for simplicity, I have kept my data on one sheet. You can amend the below formulas as your data is on 2 sheets. Saying that, I have used the same columns as you have in your query
Solution:
Have a "holding column". In my example, I used column J as the holding column (you can hide this column if you want). In J2, type the following formula: =IF(ISBLANK($K2), $J1,$K2). Copy the formula down to all used rows. Then copy the following formula in M2: =VLOOKUP($L2,$A$3:$C$8,IF($J2="US",2,3),FALSE). As per before, copy the formula down to all used rows. This should give you your results

Comparing two data tables on different tabs in Excel using VBA

I am relatively new to Macros and VBA in Excel, so I need some guidance on how to solve my current issue.
The end goal of my project is to have a macro compare two sets of data organized into rows and columns (We'll say table A is the source data, and table B is based off of user input). Each row in table B should correspond to a row in table A, but they could be out of order, or there could be incorrect entries in table B.
My thought is that for the first row in each table, the macro would compare each cell left to right:
If Sheets("sheet1").Cells(2, 1) = Sheets("sheet2").Cells(2, 1) Then
If Sheets("sheet1").Cells(2, 2) = Seets("sheet2").Cells(2, 2)
Ect, ect.
My problem comes in when the Cell in table B does not match Table A.
First, I would want it to check B row 1 against the next row in A, and keep going throughout table A until it finds a "complete match" with all five columns of the row matching.
I've been trying to do this with Else if and For/Next staements
For row= 2 to 10
'if statements go here
Else If Sheets("sheet1").Cells(2, 1) <> Sheets("sheet2").Cells(2, 1)
Next row
I may be completely misunderstanding the syntax here, but I have yet to produce a situation where if the criteria is not met, it goes to the next row.
If no complete match is found, the last cell in table B row 1 that couldn't be matched should be highlighted.
Then regardless of whether a match was found or not, we would move to table B row 2, and start the whole process over.
So, I have the logic worked out (I think), where the comparison ifs would be inside a loop (or something) that would cycle through table A row by row. Then that whole process would be in another loop (or something) that would cycle through Table B.
At the end of the process, there would either be no highlighted cells showing that all entered data is correct, or cells would be highlighted showing data that do no match.
I am fairly certain that the cycling through table B is not the issue. Rather, I'm having difficulty getting the Macro to move to the next table A row if something doesn't match.
Please let me know if I need to elaborate on anything.
Thanks!
You could try:
Option Explicit
Sub test()
Dim Lastrow1 As Long, Lastrow2 As Long, i As Long, j As Long
Dim Str1 As String, Str2 As String
'Find the last row of sheet 1
Lastrow1 = Sheet1.Cells(Sheet1.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
'Find the last row of sheet 2
Lastrow2 = Sheet2.Cells(Sheet2.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To Lastrow1
'Let us assume that table has 3 columns. Merge 3 columns' values and create a string for each line
Str1 = Sheet1.Cells(i, 1).Value & "_" & Sheet1.Cells(i, 2).Value & "_" & Sheet1.Cells(i, 3).Value
For j = 2 To Lastrow2
'Let us assume that table has 3 columns. Merge 3 columns' values and create a string for each line
Str2 = Sheet2.Cells(j, 1).Value & "_" & Sheet2.Cells(j, 2).Value & "_" & Sheet2.Cells(j, 3).Value
'If both strings match a message box will appear
If Str1 = Str2 Then
MsgBox "Line " & i & " in table A match with line " & j & " in table B!"
Exit For
End If
Next j
Next i

Create new Excel rows based on column data

Good afternoon all,
I have an issue where I have users who have multiple bank account details. I need to try and create a new row for each employee who has more than one bank account, with the second bank account being allocated a new row.
Employee Number User ID BSB Account number
10000591 WOODSP0 306089,116879 343509,041145273
10000592 THOMSOS0 037125 317166
I need it to look something like this:
Employee Number User ID BSB Account number
10000591 WOODSP0 306089 343509
10000591 WOODSP0 116879 041145273
10000592 THOMSOS0 037125 317166
Any thoughts? Your input is greatly appreciated!
Screenshots are here to demonstrate:
Right click on the tab and choose "View Code"
Paste this code in:
Sub SplitOnAccount()
Dim X As Long, Y As Long, EmpNo As String, UserID As String, BSB As Variant, AccNo As Variant
Range("F1:I1") = Application.Transpose(Application.Transpose(Array(Range("A1:D1"))))
For X = 2 To Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
EmpNo = Range("A" & X).Text
UserID = Range("B" & X).Text
BSB = Split(Range("C" & X).Text, ",")
AccNo = Split(Range("D" & X).Text, ",")
For Y = LBound(AccNo) To UBound(AccNo)
Range("F" & Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Offset(1, 0).Formula = EmpNo
Range("G" & Range("G" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Offset(1, 0).Formula = UserID
Range("H" & Range("H" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Offset(1, 0).Formula = BSB(Y)
Range("I" & Range("I" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Offset(1, 0).Formula = AccNo(Y)
Next
Next
End Sub
Close the window to go back to excel
Press ALT-F8
Choose SplitOnAccount and click run.
Note, this is going to populate the split data to rows F to I, make sure there is nothing in there. If there is post back and we can change it.
Also format columns F - I as text before you run it or Excel will strip leading zeros off as it will interpret it as a number.
Here is another sub that appears to perform what you are looking for.
Sub stack_accounts()
Dim rw As Long, b As Long
Dim vVALs As Variant, vBSBs As Variant, vACTs As Variant
With ActiveSheet '<-define this worksheet properly!
For rw = .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
vVALs = .Cells(rw, 1).Resize(1, 4).Value
vBSBs = Split(vVALs(1, 3), Chr(44))
vACTs = Split(vVALs(1, 4), Chr(44))
If UBound(vBSBs) = UBound(vBSBs) Then
For b = UBound(vBSBs) To LBound(vBSBs) Step -1
If b > LBound(vBSBs) Then _
.Rows(rw + 1).Insert
.Cells(rw - (b > LBound(vBSBs)), 1).Resize(1, 4) = vVALs
.Cells(rw - (b > LBound(vBSBs)), 3).Resize(1, 2).NumberFormat = "#"
.Cells(rw - (b > LBound(vBSBs)), 3) = CStr(vBSBs(b))
.Cells(rw - (b > LBound(vBSBs)), 4) = CStr(vACTs(b))
Next b
End If
Next rw
End With
End Sub
I was originally only going to process the rows that had comma delimited values in columns C and D but I thought that processing all of them would allow the macro to set the Text number format and get rid of the Number as text error warnings and keep the leading zero in 041145273.
        
You Can definitely use Power Query to transform the data to generate new rows using split column option.
Check this article it explains the process in detail.
Load Data in Power Query section of excel.
Create an Index (Not required step)
Use Split column function with advance options and split them into new rows.
Save this result into new table for your use.
I did it myself and it worked like a charm.
A formula solution:
Delimiter: Can be a real delimiter or an absolute reference to a cell containing only the delimiter.
HelperCol: I have to use a helper column to make it work. You need to give the column letter.
StartCol: The column letter of the first column containing data.
SplitCol: The column letter of the column to be splitted.
Formula1: Used to generate the formula for the first column not to be splitted. You can fill this formula down and then fill to right.
Formula2: Used to generate the formula for the column to be splitted(only support split one column).
Formula3: Used to generate the formula for the Helper column.
(If the title of the column to be splitted contains the delimiter, you must change the first value of the helper column to 1 manually.)
Formula1:=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE("=LOOKUP(ROW(1:1),$J:$J,A:A)&""""","$J:$J","$"&B2&":$"&B2),"A:A",B3&":"&B3)
Formula2:=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE("=MID($M$1&LOOKUP(ROW(A1),$J:$J,F:F)&$M$1,FIND(""艹"",SUBSTITUTE($M$1&LOOKUP(ROW(A1),$J:$J,F:F)&$M$1,$M$1,"&"""艹"",ROW(A2)-LOOKUP(ROW(A1),$J:$J)))+1,FIND(""艹"",SUBSTITUTE($M$1&LOOKUP(ROW(A1),$J:$J,F:F)&$M$1,$M$1,""艹"",ROW(A2)-LOOKUP(ROW(A1),$J:$J)+1))-FIND(""艹"",SUBSTITUTE($M$1&LOOKUP(ROW(A1),$J:$J,F:F)&$M$1,$M$1,""艹"",ROW(A2)-LOOKUP(ROW(A1),$J:$J)))-1)&""""","$M$1",IF(ISERROR(INDIRECT(B1)),""""&B1&"""",B1)),"$J:$J","$"&B2&":$"&B2),"F:F",B4&":"&B4)
Formula3:=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE("=SUM(E1,LEN(B1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B1,$H$1,"""")))+1","B1",B4&1),"$H$1",IF(ISERROR(INDIRECT(B1)),""""&B1&"""",B1)),"E1",B2&1)
Helper must filled one row more than the data.
How to use:
Copy the formula generated by the above three formula.
Use Paste Special only paste the value.
Make the formula into effect.
Fill the formula.
Bug:
Numbers will be converted to Text. Of course you can remove the &"" at the end of the formula, but blank cells will be filled with 0.
ps. This method may by very hard to comprehend. But once you master it, it can be very useful to solve relative problems.

Identify and duplicate unique rows

I have files of data with the following format:
In column A, identifiers occur either doubly (e.g. 302_60) or singularly (e.g.310_58). Additional information is present in column B.
What I want to do is:
tag the rows that have single identifiers in column A with
TRUE/FALSE in Column C
for any TRUE tag, insert a line BELOW
copy into the inserted row the contents of the ENTIRE tagged row (here just columns A,B)
I solved #1 using =COUNTIF(A:A, A1)=1
I then wrote a VBA script to solve #2
Sub ins_below_and_copy()
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Range("C1:C100")
If InStr(1, c, "TRUE", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
Rows(c.Offset(1, 0).Row & ":" & c.Offset(1, 0).Row).Insert Shift:=xlDown
End If
Next c
End Sub
Achieving the desired end result (#3)
seems simple enough, right? I have been trying .Copy and .Paste commands, but keep getting type-mismatch errors, an error that does not make sense to me (since I am not a competent VBA coder). Any ideas?
You have down all the hard work, filling in the gaps is easy. Select the two columns, HOME > Editing - Find & Select, Go To Special..., Blanks, OK, =, UP and Ctrl+Enter.
You can run this after you have your empty rows created.
Dim sheet As String
Dim lastRow As Long
sheet = "SheetName"
lastRow = Sheets(sheet).Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For r = 2 To lastRow 'Assuming you have a Header Row
If Sheets(sheet).Cells(r, 1) = "" Then
Sheets(sheet).Cells(r - 1, 3) = "FALSE"
Sheets(sheet).Cells(r, 1) = Sheets(sheet).Cells(r - 1, 1)
Sheets(sheet).Cells(r, 2) = Sheets(sheet).Cells(r - 1, 2)
Sheets(sheet).Cells(r, 3) = Sheets(sheet).Cells(r - 1, 3)
End If
Next r

Getting excel to put together split strings

I'm trying to get excel to put together a series of text strings that haven't been formatted systematically, so that they end up split into different rows on a data sheet.
I'm aware this might've been solved elsewhere so sorry for that but I'm struggling to describe the issue, and I can't post images on it but basically it's
Column 1 with a list of the entries, and
Column 2 with text strings that are spread over 2 or more rows
Is it possible to write some kind of formula or macro that would be able to check the first column and then stitch together all entries in the second column going down until it found a new entry in the first column? I've got a feeling it might be possible using some sort of loop thing with index functions, but I've no idea where to start even.
Thanks,
Mike
