Merge cells in column F, G based on a values in Column A - excel

I'm looking for VBA code that looks at the values in column A and if they are the same, merges the cells in columns F & G in the same rows.
I have no idea how to do this.

You could use this code:
Sub mergeFG()
Dim cell As Range
Dim cell2 As Range
Set cell = Range("A2")
Do While cell.Value <> ""
Set cell2 = cell.Offset(1)
Do While cell2.Value = cell.Value
Set cell2 = cell2.Offset(1)
Loop
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
cell.Offset(0, 5).Resize(cell2.Row - cell.Row).Merge
cell.Offset(0, 6).Resize(cell2.Row - cell.Row).Merge
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Set cell = cell2
Loop
End Sub
Call mergeFG, either via other code, or link some button to it.

Check the code below. I have assumed that you have sorted Column-A i.e, ref_num and also change the SheetName from "Sample" in code to your workbook sheet name.
Sub merge_cells()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim counter As Integer
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sample")
end_row = ws.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
counter = 1
For i = 2 To end_row
If ws.Range("A" & i).Value = ws.Range("A" & i - 1).Value Then
counter = counter + 1
Else
If counter > 1 Then
ws.Range("F" & i - counter).Resize(counter).Merge
ws.Range("G" & i - counter).Resize(counter).Merge
End If
counter = 1
End If
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

How do you update a cell based on an if statement?

I'm trying to update a cell value (cells in AA) to "Closed - duplicate" as long as column G = True (Duplicate Names) and Cancel Description (column AA) like "Closed". So basically if the duplicate name is the same and one of those rows has a "Closed" value under column AA, then update that cell to the new value. Here is what I got so far but for some reason its giving me an error and Im not sure why (see picture as reference):
Error occurs in this line of code:
If d = True And d.Offset(0, -7).Value = "Closed" Then
and the error says "Run Time Error 1004 - Application Defined or object defined error
Public Sub HighlightDuplicates()

Dim Mwb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rngVis As Range
Dim rngVis2 As Range
Dim c As Range
Dim d As Range
Dim Table As ListObject
Set Mwb = ThisWorkbook
Set ws = Mwb.Worksheets("Commission")
Set Table = ws.ListObjects("Comm_Table")
LR = ws.cells(ws.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Table.ListColumns.Add 2
Table.HeaderRowRange(2) = "Duplicate ESIID"
ws.Range("B2:B" & LR).Value = "=SUMPRODUCT(--($A2=A:A))>1"
Set rngVis = ws.Range("B2:B" & LR).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
For Each c In rngVis.cells
If c = True Then
c.EntireRow.Columns("A").Interior.ColorIndex = 36
End If
Next c
Table.ListColumns(2).Delete
Table.ListColumns.Add 7
Table.HeaderRowRange(7) = "Duplicate Name"
ws.Range("G2:G" & LR).Value = "=SUMPRODUCT(--($F2=F:F))>1"
''This is where im having trouble:below''
Set rngVis2 = ws.Range("G2:G" & LR).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
For Each d In rngVis2.cells
If d = True And d.Offset(0, -7).Value = "*Closed*" Then
d.EntireRow.Columns("AA").Value = "Closed - Duplicate"
End If
Next d**
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Update! instead of using my old approach, I decided to go with this for loop which seems to be much easier and more understandable to read and its doing what I was asking for.
For i = 2 To Lr
If ws.cells(i, "B").Value = "True" And ws.cells(i, "H").Value = "True" And
ws.cells(i, "AB").Value Like "*CLOSED*" Then
ws.cells(i, "AB").Value = "CLOSED-DUPLICATE"
End If
Next i

Getting error in condition formatting using VBA

I am working on a project in which I am comparing column D with column C of sheet("Backend") and the difference is shown in column E (in %). I'd like to highlight the % difference (column E) in RED color, where the difference is less than -10.00% and greater than 10.00%. Then would like to copy those items from column B corresponding each highlighted cell and paste it in sheet("UPDATER") beneath cell A7.
Attached is the screenshot for your reference

EDIT:
For the date to add a year my version would be just adding to what I gave earlier. Instead we now add an AND function to contain the OR, then checking if the YEAR in the cell is the current year. If you're only wanting this year then we can also forgo the IF statement which was checking that if the current month was January it would incorporate December. But if thats not needed then:
=AND(OR(MONTH(NOW())=MONTH(M8),MONTH(NOW())-1=MONTH(M8)),YEAR(M8)=YEAR(NOW()))
Or
=AND(MONTH(M8)>=MONTH(NOW())-1,MONTH(M8)<MONTH(NOW())+1,YEAR(M8)=YEAR(NOW()))
Both the same length and do the same thing just in different way.

Change the values in a column depending upon different criteria

I want the values in Column D to change depending upon the value in Column A. Some values do not need to be amended at all if the conditions aren't met
Sub Test()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim startrow As Integer
Dim row As Integer
Dim c As Range
Dim Lastrow As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).row
For Each c In Range("D2:D" & Lastrow)
If Cells(row, 1) = "Bol" Then
c.Value = c.Value * 1.19
End If
If Cells(row, 1) = "Amazon" Then
c.Value = c.Value * 1.2
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I think I have an error in the lines beginning with c.Value = c.Value * .....
I'm new to VBA and just trying to make sense of it
I just provide this variant. It is working with array, so theoretically it is very quick. Probably no need to turn off the screen updating.
Sub test()
Dim lastRow As Long, i As Long
With Sheet1
lastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).row
Dim vA As Variant 'Represents A2-A lastrow
vA = .Range("A2").Resize(lastRow - 1).Value
Dim vb As Variant 'Represents D2-D lastrow
vb = .Range("D2").Resize(lastRow - 1).Value
i = 0
Dim v As Variant
For Each v In vA
i = i + 1
If v = "Bol" Then
vb(i, 1) = vb(i, 1) * 1.19
ElseIf v = "Amazon" Then
vb(i, 1) = vb(i, 1) * 1.2
End If
Next v
.Range("D2").Resize(lastRow - 1).Value = vb ' Writing the values to the D column
End With
End Sub
You have to forecast and handle all possible conditions. Use this code please:
Sub Test()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim row As Integer
Dim Lastrow As Long
'I've assumed that you are working on sheet1
Lastrow = Sheets(1).Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).row
If Lastrow > 1 Then
For row = 2 To Lastrow
If Sheets(1).Cells(row, 1).Value = "Bol" Then
Sheets(1).Cells(row, 4).Value = Sheets(1).Cells(row, 4).Value * 1.19
End If
If Sheets(1).Cells(row, 1).Value = "Amazon" Then
Sheets(1).Cells(row, 4).Value = Sheets(1).Cells(row, 4).Value * 1.2
End If
Next
Else
MsgBox ("There is no data at column D")
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
There are quite a few ways to go about what you're trying to do. For what it's worth, this is how I would go about it. You had a few additional variables you didn't need, and your 'row' variable wasn't assigned a value at all.
Sub test2()
Dim lastRow As Long, _
i As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Sheet1
lastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).row
For i = 2 To lastRow
If .Cells(i, 1).Value = "Bol" Then
.Cells(i, 4).Value = .Cells(i, 4).Value * 1.19
End If
If .Cells(i, 1).Value = "Amazon" Then
.Cells(i, 4).Value = .Cells(i, 4).Value * 1.2
End If
Next i
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I kept is relatively simple, so hopefully you can follow what's going on. If you have a lot of "If" statements, it may be cleaner to use VBAs "Select Case".
Also the text strings as you have them set up are case sensitive. "Bol" does not equal "bol" maybe that doesn't matter, but something to be aware of. If the string you pass it is "amazon" it will not pass the 'If' test.
Another assumption I made was that your data is on Sheet1. You should get in the habit of fully qualifying your ranges, it will make your life a lot easier as your code gets more complicated.
Last bit, I'm assuming the values in column D are all numbers. If there is text in there, you may run in to problems multiplying it.
Good luck!
You can simplify your code, and make it easier to read, by looping trough column A instead of column D and using the If/ElseIf statement to test each cell for either of the two conditions. By setting your range and defining c as a range variable for each cell in the range, you only have to loop through each cell and test for the two conditions. If the cell contains Bol use the Offset property to multiple the current value in column D by 1.19; ElseIf the cell contains Amazon use the Offset property to multiple the current value in column D by 1.2. Comments provide in the code.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'use the With statement to define your workbook and sheet, change as needed
'Note: "ThisWorkbook" identifies the workbook which contains this code
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
'Define the range you want to loop through, using the column you want to test
Dim rng As Range: Set rng = .Range("A2", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))
'Define the variable for each cell-range
Dim c As Range
'loop through each "c" in the range and if one of the conditions are met
For Each c In rng
If c = "Bol" Then
'then use the "Offset property" to modify the value in column D
c.Offset(, 3) = c.Offset(, 3).Value * 1.19
ElseIf c = "Amazon" Then
c.Offset(, 3) = c.Offset(, 3).Value * 1.2
End If
Next c
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
In-Place Modification
All the solutions have one common issue: you can use them only once. If you need to change the values after adding new records (rows) you should consider adding another column with the initial values so the code could be written to identify what has already been changed and what not. But that's for another question.
Your Sub Solution
You actually had only one serious mistake in two-three places.
Instead of row in the If statements you should have used c.Row and you could have removed Dim row As Integer:
Sub Test_Almost_Fixed()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim startrow As Integer
Dim c As Range
Dim Lastrow As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).row
For Each c In Range("D2:D" & Lastrow)
If Cells(c.Row, 1) = "Bol" Then
c.Value = c.Value * 1.19
End If
If Cells(c.Row, 1) = "Amazon" Then
c.Value = c.Value * 1.2
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Additionally after getting rid of the extra Application.ScreenUpdating = False and the Dim startrow As Integer and some further cosmetics, you could have had something like this:
Sub Test_Fixed()
Dim c As Range
Dim Lastrow As Long
Lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).row
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each c In Range("D2:D" & Lastrow)
If Cells(c.Row, 1) = "Bol" Then
c.Value = c.Value * 1.19
End If
If Cells(c.Row, 1) = "Amazon" Then
c.Value = c.Value * 1.2
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
A More Complex Sub Solution
Use the following for the ActiveSheet in a standard module (e.g. Module1). For a particular sheet you can place it in a sheet module (e.g. Sheet1) or create a button on the sheet.
Tip: When you have such a simple (short, fast) code and especially when you're using a Button to run it (in a 'one-time operation code'), it is good practice to use a MsgBox at the end of the code to actually know that the code has run and to prevent accidentally pressing the Button more than once.
Option Explicit
Sub Test()
Const Proc As String = "Test"
On Error GoTo cleanError
' Define Constants.

An Event Solution
To make it automatically change the values in column D for each change of a value in column A you can place the following code into the sheet module (e.g. Sheet1):
Option Explicit
Private Const SOURCE_COLUMN As Variant = 1 ' e.g. 1 or "A"
Private Const TARGET_COLUMN As Variant = 4 ' e.g. 4 or "D"

VBA Merge Similar Cells

I would like to merge similar cells by columns, as of now I am using this macro
Sub MergeSimilarCells()
Set myRange = Range("A1:Z300")
CheckAgain:
For Each cell In myRange
If cell.Value = cell.Offset(0, 1).Value And Not IsEmpty(cell) Then
Range(cell, cell.Offset(0, 1)).Merge
cell.VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
cell.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
GoTo CheckAgain
End If
Next
End Sub
My problem is with hundreds of rows and 40-50 columns, it takes forever.
I am pretty sure a For Loop could help me there but I am not skilled enough to figure it out
I know the following code is wrong but I am lost
Sub SimilarCells()
Set myRange = Range("A1:G4")
Dim count As Integer
CheckAgain:
count = 1
For Each cell In myRange
If cell.Value = cell.Offset(0, 1).Value And Not IsEmpty(cell) Then
count = count + 1
ElseIf cell.Value <> cell.Offset(0, 1).Value Then
Range(cell, cell.Offset(0, -count)).Merge
End If
Next
End Sub
Here is what I would like to accomplish
Sub MergeMe()
Dim wks As Worksheet: Set wks = Worksheets(1)
Dim myRange As Range: Set myRange = wks.Range("B2:H5")
Dim myCell As Range
Dim myCell2 As Range
Dim firstColumn As Long: firstColumn = myRange.Columns(1).column + 1
Dim lastColumn As Long: lastColumn = firstColumn + myRange.Columns.Count - 1
Dim firstRow As Long: firstRow = myRange.Rows(1).row
Dim lastRow As Long: lastRow = firstRow + myRange.Rows.Count - 1
Dim column As Long
Dim row As Long
OnStart
For column = lastColumn To firstColumn Step -1
For row = lastRow To firstRow Step -1
Set myCell = wks.Cells(row, column)
Set myCell2 = myCell.Offset(0, -1)
If myCell.Value = myCell2.Value Then
With wks.Range(myCell, myCell2)
.Merge
.VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
End With
End If
Next row
Next column
OnEnd
End Sub
There are quite a few tricks in this code:
we need to get the first and last column and row;
then we should be looping from the last cell (bottom right) to the first one (top left);
we should not enter the first column, because we are using .Offset(0,-1) and we compare every cell with its leftmost one;
the reason for the whole operation, is that by default, the value of a merged cells is kept in its left top cell. The other cells of a merged cell are without a value.
This is why we always compare the merged cells with their "left" neighbour;
These are the OnEnd and OnStart, facilitating the operation.

If s > 1 Then

Application.DisplayAlerts = True
i = i + s 'skip over the merged range
s = 1 'reset s
Else
i = i + 1
End If
Loop
Next rw
End Sub
I'm pretty sure what bloats your processing time is the goto causing you to loop through everything yet again every time after every merge
Edit to take column A into account and prevent first column cells to merge with cells outside of myRange:
Sub MergeSimilarCells()
Dim i As Long
Dim myCol As String
Set myRange = Range("K1:L30")
myCol = Left(myRange.Address(True, False), InStr(myRange.Offset(0, 1).Address(True, False), "$") - 1)
If Not Intersect(myRange, Range(myCol & ":" & myCol)).Address = myRange.Address Then
Set myRange = Range(Replace(myRange.Address, Left(myRange.Address(True, False), _
InStr(myRange.Address(True, False), "$")), Left(myRange.Offset(0, 1).Address(True, False), _
InStr(myRange.Offset(0, 1).Address(True, False), "$"))))
For i = myRange.Cells.Count To 1 Step -1
If myRange.Item(i).Value = myRange.Item(i).Offset(0, -1).Value And Not IsEmpty(myRange.Item(i)) Then
Range(myRange.Item(i), myRange.Item(i).Offset(0, -1)).Merge
myRange.Item(i).VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
myRange.Item(i).HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
End If
Next
End If
End Sub
To clarify why myRange has to start in column B: Offset(0, -1) of any cell in column A will cause an error since there is no column to the left of A.

Copying values from one sheet based on condition to another workbook

I've written some code that assigns each item in a list a code based on row #. What I want to do from there is choose a copy all information from each row that corresponds with a chosen code, then paste it to another workbook. I've been having some trouble. Here's the code:
Sub LSHP_Distribute()
Dim wbLSHP As Workbook
Dim wsLSHP As Worksheet
Dim CodeRange As Range
Dim FirstRow As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim wbTEST As Workbook
Set wbLSHP = ActiveWorkbook
Set wsLSHP = wbLSHP.Sheets("Sheet1")
'Generate codes for newly added items
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Turn off screen updating
With wsLSHP
FirstRow = .Range("F3").End(xlDown).Row + 1
LastRow = .Range("B6", .Range("B6").End(xlDown)).Rows.Count + 5
Set CodeRange = .Range("$F$" & FirstRow, "$F$" & LastRow)
End With
For Each cell In CodeRange
If cell = "" Then
If cell.Row Mod 3 = 0 Then
cell.Value = "1"
ElseIf cell.Row Mod 3 = 1 Then
cell.Value = "2"
ElseIf cell.Row Mod 3 = 2 Then
cell.Value = "3"
Else
End If
End If
Next cell
'Open Spreadsheets to Distribute Items
Dim PasteRow As Long
Dim i As Integer
Set wbTEST = Workbooks.Open(Filename:="V:\Test.xlsx")
PasteRow = wbTEST.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B6").End(xlDown).Row + 1
Below is where I'm having the problem
wbLSHP.Activate
For Each cell In CodeRange
If cell = "1" Then
Range(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -5), ActiveCell.Offset(0, 20)).Select
Selection.Copy
wbTEST.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(PasteRow, 1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
PasteRow = PasteRow + 1
Else
End If
Next cell
End Sub
First problem is the For loop isn't copying the correct range in "CodeRange", the second problem is it only copies once before I get an Automation Error. Let me know if you have any questions, or know of a more efficient way to write this code.
Thanks so much for your time!
Your range is defined to Start in F3 and end in BSomething, but you store to CodeRange only the F column.
Set CodeRange = .Range("$F$" & FirstRow, "$F$" & LastRow)
Try using:
Set CodeRange = .Range("$B$" & FirstRow, "$F$" & LastRow)
I suggest instead of Copy and Paste, assign the value to a variable and put the value of the variable on wbTEST.
