Out of Memory Error - On Sorting Data - excel

I have the following code. Which was working fine but now I'm getting an error. "Run-time error'7': Out of Memory" Below is my code:
Sub SpiltData()
Dim tmpArr As Variant, rCell As Range, v, i As Long, v2(), J As Long, K As Long
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet, n As Long
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data").Activate
Set ws1 = ActiveSheet
Set ws2 = Sheets("Hours Sorted") 'You need to specify a sheet here
v = ws1.Range("J6").CurrentRegion.Value
ReDim v2(1 To UBound(v, 1) * 100, 1 To UBound(v, 2))
n = 1
For i = LBound(v, 1) To UBound(v, 1)
tmpArr = Split(v(i, 10), Chr(10))
For K = 0 To UBound(tmpArr)
For J = LBound(v, 2) To UBound(v, 2)
v2(n, J) = v(i, J)
Next J
v2(n, 10) = tmpArr(K)
n = n + 1
Next K
Next i
ws2.Range("A1").Resize(n, UBound(v2, 2)) = v2
End Sub
Is there something I can do differently?

If you are starting with a huge selection, and your carriage return delimited data in position 10 of your array is large then you are resulting in "Huge x Large" number of results, all held in memory until it's dumped back out into ws2.
Alternatively, you can iterate through your range and write out as you encounter values. Keeping your variables nice and small and, presumably, your code easier to understand and debug. To make this work quicker, you can shut off the application.screenupdating toggle.
Sub SpiltData()
Dim rngRead As Range
Dim rngReadRow As Range
Dim rngReadCell As Range
Dim arrSplit As Variant
Dim intWriteRow As Integer
'initialize intWriteRow
intWriteRow = 1
'get that range
Set rngReadRow = Sheets("Data").Range("J6").CurrentRegion
'loop through each row
For Each rngReadRow In rngReadRow.Rows
'split your carriage return delimited cell into an array
arrSplit = Split(rngReadRow.Cells(1, 11), Chr(10))
'iterate the array and write out
For Each arrItem In arrSplit
'by iterating each cell in the readrow
For Each rngReadCell In rngReadRow.Cells
'and writing it to the other worksheet
Sheets("Hours Sorted").Cells(intWriteRow, rngReadCell.Column).Value = rngReadCell
'increment the row to which we are writing
intWriteRow = intWriteRow + 1
Next rngReadCell
'and now write the split out value in the array
Sheets("Hours Sorted").Cells(intWriteRow, 11) = arrItem
Next arrItem
Next rngReadRow
End Sub
This will probably have to be tweaked a small bit since I converted from arrays to ranges and made some assumptions, but it will get you in the ballpark and excel will crank on this all day long if it needs to and your main limit is the number of rows in excel instead of your ram.

Replace and save remaining string in an array

I want to remove predefined parts of the strings in the following table and save the values in an array. For some reason I get an error stating that I'm outside of the index. The lengths of the strings in the table can vary.
Sub New_1()
Dim i, j, k As Integer
Dim Endings As Variant
k = 0
Endings = Array("/A", "/BB", "/CCC", "/DDDD", "/EEEEE")
Dim ArrayValues() As Variant
With Worksheets("table1")
Dim lastRow As Long: lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
ReDim ArrayValues(lastRow)
For i = lastRow To 1 Step -1
For j = 0 To UBound(Endings)
ArrayValues(k) = Replace(.Range("A" & i), Endings(j), "")
k = k + 1
Next j
Next i
End With
End Sub
You're getting out of bounds because your ArrValues is filled up after not even 3 iterations of your "i" since you're adding up your k every j iterations
If you want an array of the cleaned up cells do this instead:
Sub New_1()
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, k As Integer
Dim Endings As Variant
Dim ArrayValues() As Variant
Dim lastRow As Long
Endings = Array("/A", "/BB", "/CCC", "/DDDD", "/EEEEE")
With Worksheets("Blad6")
lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
ReDim ArrayValues(1 To lastRow) 'Then you don't have an empty ArrayValues(0)
For i = lastRow To 1 Step -1
For j = 0 To UBound(Endings)
If j = 0 Then
ArrayValues(i) = Replace(.Range("A" & i), Endings(j), "")
Else
ArrayValues(i) = Replace(ArrayValues(i), Endings(j), "")
End If
Next j
Next i
'Use Array here
End With
End Sub
If your intent is to create an array in which everything after the / is removed, this might be simpler, using the Split function; and also faster by storing the data to be split in a VBA array, in iterating through that array instead of the worksheet cells.
Option Explicit
Sub New_1()
'in VBA, Long is marginally more efficient than Integer
Dim k As Long, v As Variant
Dim dataArr As Variant
Dim ArrayValues() As Variant
With Worksheets("SHEET7")
'faster to loop through VBA array than worksheet cells
'Note that this will be a 2D array with dimensions starting at 1, not 0
dataArr = Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp))
End With
'This might be simpler
ReDim ArrayValues(1 To UBound(dataArr, 1))
k = 0
For Each v In dataArr
k = k + 1
ArrayValues(k) = Split(v, "/")(0)
Next v
End Sub

Do a loop with multiple constant condition VBA

I am trying to do a loop but I'm a little stuck.
Sub Macro()
Range("A392: A401").Value = Range("N2")
Range("A402: A411").Value = Range("N3")
Range("A412: A421").Value = Range("N4")
Range("A422: A431").Value = Range("N5")
....
I need to repeat this logic ( On column A to set a value for each 10 rows) this value will be from Column N from 1 to 1 until it finds an empty row ...
I'm not being able to do the loop with these multiples conditions, would you please help me ?
Thanks a lot!
Range.Offset is a great method to manipulate ranges. Using it, we can automate the ranges to move down the sheet with each loop.
Sub Macro()
Dim i As Long
While Range("N2").Offset(i) <> ""
'Offset will shift N2 down by one each loop
'Offset will shift the 10 cell range down by 10 on each loop
Range("A392: A401").Offset(i * 10).Value = Range("N2").Offset(i)
i = i + 1
Wend
End Sub
I'm not quite sure what's your actual intention:
Repeat all values in column N2:N5 10 times and append the whole data block to the first free cell in column A.
Repeat all non-empty values in column N 10 times and write them to a fixed target starting with cell A392.
In both cases you can prefill an array and write it to the defined target in column A. Looping through an array has some speed advantages whereas looping through a range by means of VBA can be time consuming.
The direct (untested) copying of whole blocks as shown by #Toddleson can improve this behaviour, depending on total range sizes.
Case 1
Sub Example1()
Const RowsCount As Long = 10
With Sheet1 ' << change to your project's sheet (Code)Name
'get values to repeat & count them
Dim vals: vals = .Range("N2:N5")

'fill array with repeated values
Dim i As Long, j As Long
For i = 1 To cnt
For j = 1 To RowsCount
results((i - 1) * RowsCount + j, 1) = vals(i, 1)
Next j
Next i
'append above data block
Dim nxtRow As Long
nxtRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
.Range("A" & nxtRow).Resize(UBound(results), 1) = results
End With
End Sub
Case 2
Sub Example2()
Const RowsCount As Long = 10
With Sheet1 ' << change to your project's sheet (Code)Name

ii = ii + 1
For j = 1 To RowsCount
results((ii - 1) * RowsCount + j, 1) = vals(i, 1)
Next j
End If

'write data block to fixed target starting with A392
.Range("A392").Resize(UBound(results), 1) = results

Getting the maximum value of a specific column in a 2d array [duplicate]

I use the code hereunder to calculate max values as described in this post (vba max value of group of values). The code works great but once I have more than 65k lines I get a data type mismatch when trying to pase the array:
sht.Range(Cells(1, lColumn), Cells(last.Row, lColumn)).Value = Application.Index(groupsArray, , lColumn)
Could somebody help me to slice the array in chunks. I have tried to get it working myself but without any luck.
Sub FillGroupsMax()
Dim lColumn As Long
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim groupsArray As Variant 'array with all group infomation
Dim groupsSeen As Variant 'array with group infomation already seen
Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'stop screen updating makes vba perform better
Set sht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("import")
Set last = sht.Range("A:A").Find("*", Cells(1, 1), searchdirection:=xlPrevious) 'last cell with value in column A
lColumn = sht.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
groupsArray = sht.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(last.Row, lColumn))
'collect all the information on the Sheet into an array
'Improves performance by not visiting the sheet
For dRow = 2 To last.Row 'for each of the rows skipping header
'check if group as already been seen
If inArrayValue(Cells(dRow, 1).Value, groupsSeen) > 0 Then
'if it has been seen/calculated attribute value
'Cells(dRow, 4).Value = inArrayValue(Cells(dRow, 1).Value, groupsSeen)
groupsArray(dRow, lColumn) = inArrayValue(Cells(dRow, 1).Value, groupsSeen)
Else
'if it hasn't been seen then find max
'Cells(dRow, 4).Value = getMax(Cells(dRow, 1).Value, groupsArray)

'array construction from empty

ReDim groupsSeen(0)
'groupsSeen(0) = Array(Cells(dRow, 1).Value, Cells(dRow, 4).Value)
groupsSeen(0) = Array(groupsArray(dRow, 1), groupsArray(dRow, lColumn))
'attribute value to array
Else
ReDim Preserve groupsSeen(0 To UBound(groupsSeen) + 1)
groupsSeen(UBound(groupsSeen)) = Array(groupsArray(dRow, 1), groupsArray(dRow, lColumn))
End If
End If
Next
sht.Range(Cells(1, lColumn), Cells(last.Row, lColumn)).Value = Application.Index(groupsArray, , lColumn)
'reactivate Screen updating
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Function getMax(group As String, groupsArray As Variant, lColumn As Long) As Double
'for each in array
For n = 1 To UBound(groupsArray)
'if its the same group the Max we seen so far the record
If groupsArray(n, 1) = group And groupsArray(n, lColumn - 1) > maxSoFar Then
maxSoFar = groupsArray(n, lColumn - 1)
End If
Next
'set function value
getMax = maxSoFar
End Function
Function inArrayValue(group As String, groupsSeen As Variant) As Double
'set function value
inArrayValue = 0
'if array is empty then exit
If IsEmpty(groupsSeen) Then Exit Function
'for each in array
For n = 0 To UBound(groupsSeen)
'if we find the group
If groupsSeen(n)(0) = group Then
'set function value to the Max value already seen
inArrayValue = groupsSeen(n)(1)
'exit function earlier
Exit Function
End If
Next
End Function
You can write a helper function to use instead of Application.Index
Bonus - it will be much faster than using Index (>5x)
Sub Tester()
Dim arr, arrCol
arr = Range("A2:J80000").Value
arrCol = GetColumn(arr, 5) '<< get the fifth column
Range("L2").Resize(UBound(arrCol, 1), 1).Value = arrCol
End Sub
'extract a single column from a 1-based 2-D array
Function GetColumn(arr, colNumber)
Dim arrRet, i As Long
ReDim arrRet(1 To UBound(arr, 1), 1 To 1)
For i = 1 To UBound(arr, 1)
arrRet(i, 1) = arr(i, colNumber)
Next i
GetColumn = arrRet
End Function
EDIT - since QHarr asked about timing here's a basic example
Sub Tester()
Dim arr, arrCol, t, i as long
arr = Range("A2:J80000").Value
t = Timer
For i = 1 to 100
arrCol = GetColumn(arr, 5) '<< get the fifth column
Next i
Debug.print Timer - t '<<# of seconds for execution
End Sub
Below, whilst not as tidy as could be, is a way to process an array in chunks and Index to access a column and write out to the sheet.
I populated two columns (A:B) with data. Both had 132,000 rows, populated incrementally, with values from 1 to 132,000 in each column for my test run.
You can fiddle with cutOff to get the chunk size just below the point where the fail happens.
The code below is simply to demonstrate the principle of looping in batches, upto the set cutoff in each batch, until all rows have been processed.
Option Explicit
Public Sub WriteArrayToSheet()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set sht = wb.Worksheets("Sheet1") 'change as appropriate
Dim myArr() 'dynamic array
myArr = sht.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value 'you may want a more robust method
Dim cutOff As Long 'the max value - what ever it is before error occurs
cutOff = 1000
Dim totalRows As Long 'total rows in array read in from sheet
totalRows = UBound(myArr, 1)
Dim totalArraysNeeded As Long
'Determine how many lots of cutOff chunks there are in the total number of array rows
totalArraysNeeded = Application.WorksheetFunction.Ceiling(totalRows / cutOff, 1)
Dim rotations As Long 'number of times to loop original array to handle all rows
Dim rowCountTotal As Long
Dim rowCount As Long
Dim tempArr() 'this will hold the chunk of the original array
Dim rowCounter As Long
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim nextRow As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim numRows As Long
rotations = 1
Do While rotations < totalArraysNeeded
If rotations < totalArraysNeeded - 1 Then
ReDim tempArr(1 To cutOff, 1 To UBound(myArr, 2)) 'size chunk array
numRows = cutOff
Else
numRows = totalRows - rowCountTotal
ReDim tempArr(1 To numRows, 1 To UBound(myArr, 2)) 'size chunk array
End If
For i = 1 To numRows
rowCount = 1 'rows in this chunk looped
rowCountTotal = rowCountTotal + 1 'rows in original array looped
For j = LBound(myArr, 2) To UBound(myArr, 2)
tempArr(i, j) = myArr(rowCountTotal, j)
Next j
rowCount = rowCount + 1
Next i
With sht
lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row 'Column where I am writing the sliced column out to
End With
If lastRow = 1 Then
nextRow = 1
Else
nextRow = lastRow + 1
End If
sht.Range("E" & nextRow).Resize(UBound(tempArr, 1), 1) = Application.Index(tempArr, , 1) 'write out to sheet
rotations = rotations + 1
Loop
End Sub
As #Tim suggested, the best way to slice a large array is use a loop to copy the column.
Though in your case, most of the processing time is spent on computing the maximum since your code is using a nested loop.
If you want to reduce significantly the processing time, then use a dictionary:
Sub Usage
GetMaxByGroupTo _
sourceGroups := ThisWorkbook.Range("Sheet1!A2:A100"), _
sourceValues := ThisWorkbook.Range("Sheet1!B2:B100"), _
target := ThisWorkbook.Range("Sheet1!C2")
End Sub
Sub GetMaxByGroupTo(sourceGroups As Range, sourceValues As Range, target As Range)
Dim dict As Object, groups(), values(), r As Long, max
Set dict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
groups = sourceGroups.Value2
values = sourceValues.Value2
' store the maximum value of each group in a dictionary for an efficient lookup '
For r = Lbound(groups) to Ubound(groups)
max = dict(groups(r, 1))
If VarType(max) And values(r, 1) <= max Then Else dict(groups(r, 1)) = values(r, 1)
Next
' build and copy the result array to the sheet '
For r = Lbound(groups) to Ubound(groups)
values(r, 1) = dict(groups(r, 1))
Next
target.Resize(Ubound(groups), 1).Value2 = values
End Sub

Remove rows from a 2d array if value in column is empty

I have a large table of lab measurement logs, which I work with using arrays.
(Im a chemist, a lab technician and Ive started to learn VBA only last week, please bear with me.)
Im trying to figure out, how to load the table into an array and then remove rows with an empty value in the 5th column so that I can "export" the table without blanks in the 5th column via an array into a different sheet.
I first tested this with some code I found for a 1D array, where I would make 2 arrays, one placeholder array which Id loop through adding only non-blanks to a second array.
For Counter = LBound(TestArr) To UBound(TestArr)
If TestArr(Counter, 1) <> "" Then
NoBlankSize = NoBlankSize + 1
NoBlanksArr(UBound(NoBlanksArr)) = TestArr(Counter, 1)
ReDim Preserve NoBlanksArr(0 To UBound(NoBlanksArr) + 1)
End If
Next Counter
It works in 1D, but I cant seem to get it two work with 2 dimensions.
Heres the array Im using for reading and outputting the data
Sub ArrayTest()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Dim TestArray() As Variant
Dim Dimension1 As Long, Dimension2 As Long
Sheets("Tracker").Activate
Dimension1 = Range("A3", Range("A2").End(xlDown)).Cells.Count - 1
Dimension2 = Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlToRight)).Cells.Count - 1
ReDim TestArray(0 To Dimension1, 0 To Dimension2)
'load into array
For Dimension1 = LBound(TestArray, 1) To UBound(TestArray, 1)
For Dimension2 = LBound(TestArray, 2) To UBound(TestArray, 2)
TestArray(Dimension1, Dimension2) = Range("A4").Offset(Dimension1, Dimension2).Value
Next Dimension2
Next Dimension1
Sheets("Output").Activate
ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Select
'read from array
For Dimension1 = LBound(TestArray, 1) To UBound(TestArray, 1)
For Dimension2 = LBound(TestArray, 2) To UBound(TestArray, 2)
ActiveCell.Offset(Dimension1, Dimension2).Value = TestArray(Dimension1, Dimension2)
Next Dimension2
Next Dimension1
Erase TestArray
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End Sub
Thank you for any help in advance.
The Redim Preserve statement does not work for two-dimensional arrays if you want to change the number of records (rows).
You could load the range into an array, and then when you want to export the array to another range, loop through that array while skipping blank records.
An example:
Option Explicit
Sub ArrayTest()
Dim wb As Workbook, wsInput As Worksheet, wsOutput As Worksheet
Dim myArr As Variant
Dim i As Long, k As Long, LRow As Long
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set wsInput = wb.Sheets("Tracker")
Set wsOutput = wb.Sheets("Output")
LRow = wsOutput.Cells(wsOutput.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
'Load a range into the array (example range)
myArr = wsInput.Range("A1:Z100")
'Fill another range with the array
For i = LBound(myArr) To UBound(myArr)
'Check if the first field of the current record is empty
If Not Len(myArr(i, 1)) = 0 Then
'Loop through the record and fill the row
For k = LBound(myArr, 2) To UBound(myArr, 2)
wsOutput.Cells(LRow, k) = myArr(i, k)
Next k
LRow = LRow + 1
End If
Next i
End Sub
From your code, it appears you want to
test a column of data on a worksheet to see if there are blanks.
if there are blanks in the particular column, exclude that row
copy the data with the excluded rows to a new area
You can probably do that easier (and quicker) with a filter: code below checking for blanks in column2
Option Explicit
Sub removeCol2BlankRows()
Dim wsSrc As Worksheet, wsRes As Worksheet
Dim rSrc As Range, rRes As Range
Set wsSrc = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1")
Set rSrc = wsSrc.Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion 'many ways to do this
Set wsRes = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1")
Set rRes = wsRes.Cells(1, 10)
If wsSrc.AutoFilterMode = True Then wsSrc.AutoFilterMode = False
rSrc.AutoFilter field:=2, Criteria1:="<>"
rSrc.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy rRes
wsRes.AutoFilterMode = False
End Sub
If you really just want to filter the VBA arrays in code, I'd store the non-blank rows in a dictionary, and then write it back to the new array:
Option Explicit
Sub removeCol2BlankRows()
Dim testArr As Variant
Dim noBlanksArr As Variant
Dim myDict As Object
Dim I As Long, J As Long, V
Dim rwData(1 To 4) As Variant
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1")
testArr = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)).Resize(columnsize:=4)
End With
Set myDict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
For I = 1 To UBound(testArr, 1)
If testArr(I, 2) <> "" Then
For J = 1 To UBound(testArr, 2)
rwData(J) = testArr(I, J)
Next J
myDict.Add Key:=I, Item:=rwData
End If
Next I
ReDim noBlanksArr(1 To myDict.Count, 1 To 4)
I = 0
For Each V In myDict.keys
I = I + 1
For J = 1 To 4
noBlanksArr(I, J) = myDict(V)(J)
Next J
Next V
End Sub

how to adjust code for better performance

I am trying to make edge relation from excel file which are organized in rows,
A,B,C,
D,E
the aim is to create relationships from each row:
A,B
A,C
B,C
I have the following codes , the problem is the codes is efficient when rows are equal in length but for example for above rows it create also following edges (relationship):
D," "
E, " "
Which create big problem for large data set. I was wondering if some body can help me to adjust the code the way to create the edge list only till filled cells in each row. If there is any other way to do this more efficient will appreciate it.
Thank you so much,Will be great help.
My code:
Sub Transform()
Dim targetRowNumber As Long
targetRowNumber = Selection.Rows(Selection.Rows.Count).Row + 2
Dim col1 As Variant
Dim cell As Range
Dim colCounter As Long
Dim colCounter2 As Long
Dim sourceRow As Range: For Each sourceRow In Selection.Rows
For colCounter = 1 To Selection.Columns.Count - 1
col1 = sourceRow.Cells(colCounter).Value
For colCounter2 = colCounter + 1 To Selection.Columns.Count
Set cell = sourceRow.Cells(, colCounter2)
If Not cell.Column = Selection.Column Then
Selection.Worksheet.Cells(targetRowNumber, 1) = col1
Selection.Worksheet.Cells(targetRowNumber, 2) = cell.Value
targetRowNumber = targetRowNumber + 1
End If
Next colCounter2
Next colCounter
Next sourceRow
End Sub
I've played around with it - this should do the trick. We can probably speed it up by outputting to another variant array if needed, but this ran pretty quickly for me:
Sub Transform_New()
Dim rngSource As Range, rngDest As Range
Dim varArray As Variant
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer, k As Integer
Set rngSource = Sheet1.Range("A1", Sheet1.Cells(WorksheetFunction.CountA(Sheet1.Columns(1)), 1)) 'Put all used rows into range
Set rngDest = Sheet1.Cells(WorksheetFunction.CountA(Sheet1.Columns(1)), 1).Offset(2, 0) 'Set target range to start 2 below source range
varArray = Range(rngSource, rngSource.Offset(0, Range("A1").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Column)).Value
For i = LBound(varArray, 1) To UBound(varArray, 1) 'Loop vertically through array
For j = LBound(varArray, 2) To UBound(varArray, 2) 'Loop horizontally through each line apart from last cell
k = j
Do Until varArray(i, k) = ""
k = k + 1
If varArray(i, k) <> "" Then
rngDest.Value = varArray(i, j)
rngDest.Offset(0, 1).Value = varArray(i, k)
Set rngDest = rngDest.Offset(1, 0)
End If
Loop
Next
Next
End Sub
