Working with the Columns function - Excel VBA - excel

I have been looking around the site for a while for an answer to this question but no luck just yet. I have this code where I loop through a row of numbers and depending on what number is in the cell at the time, determines what I copy and paste to the sheet. I am using Columns for this because it is the only way I can make my code dynamic. It works but when I paste I would like to paste in cells lower than where it's pasting right now. I was wondering if Columns had a way of specifying what column and where to paste my data.
Code:
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim rw As Range
Dim row As Range
Dim cell As Range
Dim RowCount As Integer
Set rw = Range("A5:CG5")
Set sh = ActiveSheet
For Each row In rw.Rows
For Each cell In row.Cells
Select Case cell.Value
Case "2"
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("E27:E51").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Columns(4)
End Select
Next cell
Next row

Your problem can be solved as Jeeped said, use Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Cells(27, 5) or Destination:=Worksheets(2).Range("E27")
Since you want to learn a little bit more, i made an example explanation:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vba/excel-vba/articles/range-column-property-excel
On the link it is explained that .Column:
Column A returns 1, column B returns 2, and so on.
And the same is with the .Rows
Use .Cells https://msdn.microsoft.com/pt-br/library/office/ff194567.aspx So you can use the .Cells(Rows,Columns) or .Cells(Index from a Range) or the entire Object:
With Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells.Font
.Name = "Arial"
.Size = 8
End With
So an example if you want to turn your spreadsheet dynamical: to copy from range $E$27 to last row with something written from column $E on Sheet1 To
the last column with nothing written on row 1 on Sheet2.
Sub test()
'Declare variables here
Dim sht1, sht2 As Worksheet
'sht1 has the data and sht2 is the output Worksheet, you can change the names
last_row = Worksheets(1).Range("E65536").End(xlUp).Row
last_column = Worksheets(2).Cells(1, sht1.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
'Data add
For i = 27 To last_row
'Start from Row 27
Worksheets(2).Cells(i - 26, last_column + 1) = Worksheets(1).Cells(i, 5)
Next i
MsgBox "Data Updated"
End Sub
And an example of a basic dynamical workbook with i=i+1 and For loops split a single row of data into multiple unique rows into a new sheet to include headers as values and cell contents as values

Trying to reference and pull all cells that have a blank in another column

I am brand new to VBA as a disclaimer.
I have data I am inputting into one sheet (Emptys) and am trying to grab a cell from another sheet (report) in the same row that has a blank in a certain column.
For example:
Sample Report
I am trying to pull the value from the column A if the cell in the same row of column M is empty and reference that to a different sheet.
I am also trying to skip any rows that have a value in them and only pull the data from the rows that have a blank in column M.
I have tried a few things and I am in a bit over my head.
All that I have gotten to work is this basic formula:
=IF( Report!M2= "",Report!A2, "" )
I still have to sort out empties manually this way.
I feel like I was on the right track here but not sure where I went wrong:
Dim myrange
Dim id
myrange = Sheets("Report").Range("M2:M")
id = Sheets("Empty_Slots").Range("A2:A")
For Each cell In myrange
If IsEmpty(cell) Then
id = Sheets("Report").Range("A2:A")
End If
Next cell
Any help and explanation would be greatly appreciated!
You may access row numbers of those blank cells and use them in worksheet 2:
Sub Macro1()
Dim wk1 As Worksheet
Dim wk2 As Worksheet
Dim LR As Long
Dim rng As Range
Set wk1 = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set wk2 = Worksheets("Sheet2")
With wk1
LR = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row 'last non blank cell in column a
For Each rng In .Range("M2:M" & LR).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks) 'array of blank cells in column M
wk2.Range("A" & rng.Row).Interior.Color = vbYellow 'do something with column A from worksheet2 based on row numbers from column M in worksheet 1
Next rng
End With
Set wk1 = Nothing
Set wk2 = Nothing
End Sub
The code loops trough each blank cell in column M from Sheet1 and pulls the row number. Then in worksheet 2 it uses that row number in column A.
After executing code, I've colored cells in sheet2 but based on sheet1

List items with quantity above greater or equal to 1

I have to do this excel sheet at work and I'm kindof stuck at this problem.
I need to create a list in sheet 3 with the items that have been selected in sheet 2 (valid selection is when Quantity is equal or greater then 1).
So that in the cells in sheet 3 only the items requested appear and the quantity desired.
I was going to try and use a filter function but I cannot use that because I must use Excel 2016 which does not have it.
I have attached 2 screenshots to better illustrate my problem.
Thanks in advance. (Image 1) (Image 2)
It is easier to create a macro.
ALT + F11 and copy and paste the text below in a module. You can modify the rng and other variables if you want.
Public Sub copy_quantity()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim ws_copy As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Dim lr As Long
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Dati Richiesti") 'The source worksheet
Set ws_copy = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Ripilogo Richiesti") 'destination worksheet
Set rng = ws.Range("C6:C600") 'The range to check quantity
'Now loop through all quantities
For Each cell In rng
If cell > 0 Then
lr = ws_copy.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row 'Determine where to paste on the first empty row
ws.Range(cell.Offset(0, -1), cell.Offset(0, 1)).Copy Destination:=ws_copy.Range("a" & lr) ' copy paste from one sheet to the other
End If
Next ' check the following cell for the quantity
End Sub

Select all data in a column with variable number of rows

I have the example where I want to write a VBA statement which will select all data in a single column, there are no blanks in the column data. The column position will never change e.g. column A, and the data starts in row 3. However the total number of rows in the column will change regularly.
I want the system to dynamically select all the cells in column and then I can run a method against these selected pieces of data.
As an example of performing an action on your range without selecting it:
Public Sub Test()
Dim rColA As Range
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set rColA = .Range(.Cells(3, 1), .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp))
MsgBox "Column A range is " & rColA.Address 'Delete if you want.
rColA.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0) 'Turn the back colour red.
rColA.Cells(2, 1).Insert Shift:=xlDown 'Insert a blank row at second cell in range
'So will insert at A4.
'If the first cell in your range is a number then double it.
If IsNumeric(rColA.Cells(1, 1)) Then
rColA.Cells(1, 1) = rColA.Cells(1, 1) * 2
End If
End With
End Sub
Try
Dim LastRow as Long, sht as worksheet
Set sht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("My Sheet Name")
LastRow = sht.Cells(sht.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
sht.Range("A3:A" & LastRow).Select
Like Darren Bartrup-Cook says, you may not need to select the data, you can almost always perform actions directly which is much faster.
If your column is "isolated" meaning no other nonblank cells touch your data you can use:
Range("firstCellInYourColumn").CurrentRegion.Select
(this works the same way as Ctrl+* from keyboard)
otherwise use:
Range(Range("firstCellInYourColumn"), Range("firstCellInYourColumn").End(xlDown)).Select
both will work if there are really no blanks within your data.
You should also prepend all Range with worksheet expression, I omitted this.

Re: Take a value (that is summed) in multiple sheets and insert into a master sheet

Re: Creating a master sheet from multiple sheets.
Multiple sheet description: table with many rows and columns. Columns headings are identical but rows vary. Each sheet is a date.
Task: to take a single value from a specific column (always happens to be column M). the value I want is the total of that column. Take this summed value and insert into a master sheet.
My attempt so far is:
Sub append_master_sheet()
Dim wAppend As Worksheet, wSheet As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Long
Set wAppend = Worksheets("Master")
For Each wSheet In Worksheets
If wSheet.Name <> wAppend.Name Then
LastRow = WorksheetFunction.Max(3, wAppend.Cells(65536, 2).End(xlUp).Row)
wSheet.UsedRange.Resize(, 13).Copy Destination:=wAppend.Cells(LastRow, 2)
End If
Next wSheet
End Sub
1). it takes all 13 columns rather than only the 13th column. (I see that is because I have set it at 13 as I do not know how to cycle through the preceding columns and skip them to only return the 13th column data (and within this column return the total of the column, not the discrete line items
2) Besides returning all the data which is a problem, it actually consistently skips the final value in the column M.
Can you advise how to amend above code to
1) only return the summed value from column M in the multiple sheets (calendar dates) and insert into master.
thanks,
N
Is this what you are trying (UNTESTED)
Like I mentioned in the comment above, see THIS link on how to find a last row in a column.
I have commented the code so that you will not have a problem understanding it. But if you do, simply post back :)
Note: I am assuming that the last cell in Col M has the SUM
Option Explicit
Sub append_master_sheet()
Dim wAppend As Worksheet, wSheet As Worksheet
Dim wApLRow As Long, wShLRow As Long
Set wAppend = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Master")
'~~> Get the last row where the ouput should be placed
wApLRow = wAppend.Range("B" & wAppend.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
For Each wSheet In Worksheets
If wSheet.Name <> wAppend.Name Then
With wSheet
'~~> Fuind the last row in Col M which has the sum
wShLRow = .Range("M" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'~~> Copy over the values to Master Sheet
wAppend.Range("B" & wApLRow).Value = .Range("M" & wShLRow).Value
'~~> Increment the row for next output
wApLRow = wApLRow + 1
End With
End If
Next wSheet
End Sub

Excel VBA - select a dynamic cell range

I want to be able to dynamically select a range of cells (the heading row), where the row is 1 but the columns with be for 1 to last column, where "A" is the first Column and where "M" is the last column. I know how to find the last column, but I don't know how to modified the below range to input the first and last column as "A" and "M".
Range("A1:M1").Select
If you want to select a variable range containing all headers cells:
Dim sht as WorkSheet
Set sht = This Workbook.Sheets("Data")
'Range(Cells(1,1),Cells(1,Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft)).Select '<<< NOT ROBUST
sht.Range(sht.Cells(1,1),sht.Cells(1,Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft)).Select
...as long as there's no other content on that row.
EDIT: updated to stress that when using Range(Cells(...), Cells(...)) it's good practice to qualify both Range and Cells with a worksheet reference.
sub selectVar ()
dim x,y as integer
let srange = "A" & x & ":" & "m" & y
range(srange).select
end sub
I think this is the simplest way.
So it depends on how you want to pick the incrementer, but this should work:
Range("A1:" & Cells(1, i).Address).Select
Where i is the variable that represents the column you want to select (1=A, 2=B, etc.). Do you want to do this by column letter instead? We can adjust if so :)
If you want the beginning to be dynamic as well, you can try this:
Sub SelectCols()
Dim Col1 As Integer
Dim Col2 As Integer
Col1 = 2
Col2 = 4
Range(Cells(1, Col1), Cells(1, Col2)).Select
End Sub
I like to used this method the most, it will auto select the first column to the last column being used. However, if the last cell in the first row or the last cell in the first column are empty, this code will not calculate properly. Check the link for other methods to dynamically select cell range.
Sub DynamicRange()
'Best used when first column has value on last row and first row has a value in the last column
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim LastColumn As Long
Dim StartCell As Range
Set sht = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set StartCell = Range("A1")
'Find Last Row and Column
LastRow = sht.Cells(sht.Rows.Count, StartCell.Column).End(xlUp).Row
LastColumn = sht.Cells(StartCell.Row, sht.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
'Select Range
sht.Range(StartCell, sht.Cells(LastRow, LastColumn)).Select
End Sub
