Sub Filter_empty_Rows()
Dim Row_nr As Integer
With Worksheets("Boutenlijst Kist B")
For Row_nr = 3 To 1009
If Cells(Row_nr, 4).Value = "" Then
Cells(Row_nr, 4).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
Next Row_nr
End With
End Sub
This should hide all rows containing empty cells in column D. But it doesn´t. Because the empty cells still link to an other sheet. So there's is no real value but it is not empty as well.
Anyone got a workaround?
If a cell holds a reference to another cell and that cell has no value then the value of that cell's value is set to 0 by excel. So if you want one way to do it would be to do
If Cells(Row_nr, 4).Value = "" Or Cells(Row_nr, 4).Value = 0 Then
If some of your data is going to be genuinely zero then it might be a little trickier. You can use .Range.HasFormula to see if it contains a formula or not and use that to decide if it is a bad piece of data or not.
If that isn't good enough then you can use .Range.Formula to get the actual formula in a cell and then use that to perform the analysis that you need.

I am trying to input a value into the next empty row in a column.
I tried using rows.count and off setting it like you would with a paste but it doesn't work. I was able to get it to change the value in the first cell but not to look for the next empty and change its value.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim wbCount As Workbook
Set wbEntry = ThisWorkbook
wbEntry.ActiveSheet.Range("B3").Copy
Set wbCount = Workbooks.Open("U:\MO# Count.xlsm")
Worksheets("Golf Cart").Paste _
Destination:=Worksheets("Golf Cart").Range("V5")
Worksheets("Golf Cart").Range("C2").Value = 1
wbEntry.Activate
Application.CutCopyMode = False
wbEntry.ActiveSheet.Range("O1").Select
End Sub
What I have works except for not searching for the next empty cell in "C" and changing the value to "1".
I'm confused, why would you think it searches for an empty cell?
Leaving the rest of the macro alone for now, this line:
Worksheets("Golf Cart").Range("C2").Value = 1
Does not search for an empty cell, it just writes a "1" into Cell C2. If you would like it to find the first empty cell in column C and then write a 1 into it, then this should do the trick:
Worksheets("Golf Cart").Cells(Sheets("Golf Cart").Cells(Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Row + 1, 3) = 1
I'm not sure thats what you want tho, please clarify. This finds the last used row in column C and then goes to the next one down to write a "1" into it. It doesnt work if you want to find empty cells in an otherwise value-filled column. But you wrote something about rows.count or something, so I thought I'd post that way?
I copy a lot of information (1000 rows and at least 24 columns) from one sheet to another. A lot of the cells contains "". This makes my other formulas(for example: A1-B1) to show an value error if either of these cells contains "".
I believe I can solve the problem by never pasting "" but a "0" instead. But I would like to delete these "0" afterwards.
There could be values in the first 3 rows but the other 997 rows have "".
I would think I need to tell my macro to (Cell A1 in the "sheet1" sheet displays "G5:H12". the cells I need to delete):
Rowstodelete = Sheets("sheet1").Range("A1").Value
Sheets("sheet1").Range("rowstodelete").clearcontent
This does not work. anyone know how to do this?
Summary(new example)
If cell A1 = "B1:B2" I want to clear the content of B1 and B2, but if A1 now = B4:B6, that is the cells that should be cleared.
Try this one:
With Worksheets(1).Range( _'PLACE YOUR RANGE
)
Set c = .Find(0, lookin:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = c.Address
Do
c.Value = ""
Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing
End If
End With
Hope it helps
Anyhow, I think that will be simpler to place a condition in your operation formula: =IF(OR(A1="",B1=""),Make when there is an unexpected value,A1-B1)
I have a column in excel sheet that contains the IF condition i.e.
=If(Cond 1 is TRUE, X, Y)
Now, after using this condition, i get certain values in the column. Following format can be considered (these are actual values):
4L
4L
4L
4L
Note: The two empty cells in the above col are an outcome of the TRUE condition(entry 4 and 5, i entered total 6 entries, two are empty cells ). Therefore, they are valid. (let me call the above col "A" for future reference)
Now, these empty cells actually contains formulas (the if condition). I want to CLEARCONTENT them using VBA but it is not working.
And I'm trying the below code:
If ActiveSheet.Cells(row_no, col_no) = "" Then
ActiveSheet.Cells(row_no, col_no).ClearContents
End If
But this does not work. I just want to CLEAR CONTENT those empty cells by running a loop over the whole column. The cells of the column where TEXT exist (i.e. 4L), that should be skipped but as soon the code encounters the EMPTY CELL (which actually have an IF condition), it should CLEAR CONTENT it and complete the loop. So the final result would be again the same as column "A", the only difference would be that the empty cells will be BLANK now i.e. they will not have any IF condition.
I do not have problem running the loops but i am not getting how to tell VBA about that empty cell and clear contenting it. Hopefully i was able to post a clear query. Thanking in advance.

Please try the below sample code it should work..
Sub test()
'Assuming your data in column A from A2
Set Rng = Range("A2", Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp))
For Each cell In Rng
If cell.Value = "" Then
cell.ClearContents
End If
Next
End Sub
And in your formula =If(Cond 1 is TRUE, X, Y) your not giving any output like "" which will give you blank. Please update it and then try :)
Try this as well
If (Range("A35").Value = "") Then
Range("A35").Formula = ""
End If
i need help with the below if then statement. will try and explain as best as i can.
cells E21 and F21 is merged and the value varies. i have a list of numbers underneath each other from o1 to o100 and the same for p q r s t u that the values are constant.
i need a macro to check in which column the value in cell E21 is and put the number (that is in the macro) in cell E23(also merged with F23).
below is the macro that works if it only checks cell o1 but it does not work if i change it to o1:o100. the macro is very basic and only the first piece. please can you tell me how to get the macro to search the entire list.
Sub RunSelect()
If Range("E21").Value = Range("o1:o100").Value Then
Range("E23").Value = "3"
ElseIf Range("E21").Value = Range("p1:p100").Value Then
Range("E23").Value = "4"
Else: MsgBox ("Incorrect number entered")
End If
End Sub
thanks for all the help
I'm not ENTIRELY sure what you're looking for, but you need to write a For Each...Next loop to loop through each cell and check it's value. Excel doesn't know you want to look at each cell in those ranges, therefore you need to tell it to using a loop.
Trying working with this.
For Each c In Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("O1:O100").Cells
If c.Value = Range("E21").Value Then Range("E23").Value = "3"
Next

I'm using VBA to do some further formatting to a generated CSV file that's always in the same format. I have a problem with my For Each Loop. the loop deletes an entire row if there is more than one blank row which can be determined from the first column alone.
Dim rowCount As Integer
For Each cell In Columns("A").Cells
rowCount = rowCount + 1
'
' Delete blank row
'
If cell = "" And cell.Offset(1, 0) = "" Then
Rows(rowCount + 1).EntireRow.Delete
spaceCount = 0
End If
Next
At some point the value in the loop one of the calls does not have a value of "", it's just empty and causes it to crash. To solve this I think that changing the type of the cell to text before that compare would work but I can't figure out how (no intellisense!!!)
So how do you convert a cell type in VBA or how else would I solve the problem?
Thanks.
Use cell.Value instead of the cell.Text as it will evaluate the value of the cell regardless of the formating. Press F1 over .Value and .Text to read more about both.
Be carefull with the statement For Each cell In Columns("A").Cells as you will test every row in the sheet (over a million in Excel 2010) and it could make Excel to crash.
Edit:
Consider also the funcion TRIM. It removes every empty space before and after a string. If in the cell there is a white space " "; it will look like empty for the human eye, but it has a space inside therefore is different than "". If you want to treat it like an empty cell, then try:
If Trim(cell.value) = "" then
As #andy (https://stackoverflow.com/users/1248931/andy-holaday) said in a comment, For Each is definitely the way to go. This even allows for there to be spaces in between lines.
Example code:
Sub ListFirstCol()
Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A1").Activate
For Each cell In Application.Intersect(Range("A:A"), Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange)
MsgBox (cell)
Next
End Sub
Thanks Andy!
