How to specify start row for a "copy column vba"? - excel

I'm using the following string to copy a column from one sheet to another
Dim wsCore As Worksheet
Dim wsData As Worksheet
Set wsCore = Sheets("R2 Data Dump")
Set wsData = Sheets("Active")
Dim rowNumber As Integer
Dim cellFormulas As Variant
Dim cellFormulas1 As Variant
Dim counter As Integer
counter = 0
Dim currentCell As String
Dim importSheetCell As Variant
Dim importSheetOffset As Variant
Dim contractnum As Integer
Dim pt As PivotTable
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim pc As PivotCache
Dim lastrow As Long
Set wsCore = Sheets("R2 Data Dump")
Set wsData = Sheets("Active")
Sheets("R2 Data Dump").Visible = True
Sheets("R2 Data Dump").Select
rowNumber = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
With wsCore
Startrow = 3
wsCore.Columns("W").Copy Destination:=wsData.Columns("A")
wsCore.Columns("B").Copy Destination:=wsData.Columns("B")
wsCore.Columns("C").Copy Destination:=wsData.Columns("C")
wsCore.Columns("D").Copy Destination:=wsData.Columns("D")
End With.
So what is does is copy the particular columns from one sheet and paste it on the specified column of the destination sheet. My problem is, the action starts pasting the copied cell from the source sheet to the first row on the destination cell. What I would like to find out is how can I set a row number where it would start pasting instead of row 1.

Typically, you would go to the first blank cell in the column (looking from the bottom up).
With Intersect(wsCore.Columns("A:W"), wsCore.UsedRange)
.Columns("W").Copy Destination:=wsData.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
.Columns("B").Copy Destination:=wsData.Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
.Columns("C").Copy Destination:=wsData.Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
.Columns("D").Copy Destination:=wsData.Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
End With
If you wanted to specify a row, declare a long variable and use that.
Dim rw As Long
rw = 10
With Intersect(wsCore.Columns("A:W"), wsCore.UsedRange)
.Columns("W").Copy Destination:=wsData.Cells(rw, "A")
.Columns("B").Copy Destination:=wsData.Cells(rw, "B")
.Columns("C").Copy Destination:=wsData.Cells(rw, "C")
.Columns("D").Copy Destination:=wsData.Cells(rw, "D")
End With
I've used Intersect to guard against trying to copy a full column into a column that doesn't start at the first row. A full column won't fit.

Replace Existing Values on one Tab With Values From a Table on Another tab

I am trying to find a way to replace all values on the second tab of an Excel workbook with values from a table in a different tab 1 cell to the right of the corresponding value. On Sheet1 there are 2 columns. 1 is called ID and the second is called New ID. On Sheet2 there is a column called ID. I am looking for a way so that when I run a macro the values on Sheet2 will be replaced by the corresponding New ID from Sheet1. For example, on Sheet2 the first ID is ABC. On Sheet1 the corresponding New ID value for ABC is 123. I'd like the VBA script to replace all ABCs on Sheet2 with 123. I need this for varying amounts of data.
Sheet1
Sheet2
So far I've tried the following but it won't change the cells
Sub Test1()
Dim N As Long, L As Long
Dim rLook As Range
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
N = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
aryA = Range("A2:A" & N)
aryB = Range("B2:B" & N)
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Set rLook = Range("A2:A" & N)
For L = 1 To N
rLook.Replace aryA(L, 1), aryB(L, 1)
Next L
End Sub
When I run the macro it only changes the same number of rows as Sheet1 so I am left with the following:
Result
After I run this I get an error that says subscript is out of range.
Your error is basically that you reuse N, which is the number of rows from sheet1 to define the range on sheet2.
So my advise is to use more explicit names for variables that explain what the variable "contains".
Furthermore if you don't use the implicit Cells(xxx) but the explicit one Thisworkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1") you can omit the selection of the sheets (and by that reduce the possibility for errors referencing the wrong range).
Plus: you can read both columns of sheet1 into one array
Option Explicit
Public Sub updateSheet2IDs()
Dim wsSource As Worksheet
Set wsSource = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Dim wsTarget As Worksheet
Set wsTarget = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2")
Dim cntRowsSheet1 As Long
Dim arrSource As Variant
With wsSource
cntRowsSheet1 = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
'array includes both columns: arrsource(1,1) = A2, arrsource(1,2) = B2
arrSource = .Range("A2:B" & cntRowsSheet1)
End With
Dim cntRowsSheet2 As Long, rgTarget As Range
With wsTarget
cntRowsSheet2 = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set rgTarget = .Range("A2:A" & cntRowsSheet2)
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To UBound(arrSource, 1) 'ubound gives you the upper bound of the array
rgTarget.Replace arrSource(i, 1), arrSource(i, 2)
Next
End With
End Sub
You could omit the whole "cntRows"-stuff by using currentregion - which returns the area around one cell that is surrounded by empty rows and columns (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/excel.range.currentregion).
That means that wsSource.Range("A1").CurrentRegionwill return all cells until the first empty row and until the first empty column - I assume this is exactly what your are looking for. The same for sheet2 as well.
To omit the first row, you can use offset:
set rgTarget = wsTarget.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Offset(1)
The code then looks like
Option Explicit
Public Sub updateSheet2IDs()
Dim wsSource As Worksheet
Set wsSource = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Dim wsTarget As Worksheet
Set wsTarget = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2")
'array includes both columns: arrsource(1,1) = A2, arrsource(1,2) = B2
Dim arrSource As Variant
arrSource = wsSource.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Offset(1)
Dim rgTarget As Range
Set rgTarget = wsTarget.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Offset(1)
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To UBound(arrSource, 1) 'ubound gives you the upper bound of the array
rgTarget.Replace arrSource(i, 1), arrSource(i, 2)
Next
End Sub

Copying an array of dynamic ranges, starting from searched cell value

I have a large sheet of data:
Updated Data
where i need to copy only a speacific part of this data to another worksheet:
The data i need to copy is always 4 cells wide however can be at any row and column. The first column cell at the top will allways be the same text value and i need to copy then from that found cell, 4 cells across to the right and then down to the cells are empty. All subsequent ranges after the first will use the same columns have several empty cells bother above and below each range needed. The macro will be run using a "button" so doesn't need to be checking the value of the cell all the time. The images are simplified versions of the data but are very accurate. 0 is used to show data surrounding range, HELLO is the data inside the range and INT_EXT_DOOR is my searched for cell value which can be in any column between data sets but will be the same inside each data set. The first range always starts at row 2.
Each range has to be numbered, defined by another worksheets cell value. For example, if my cell value is 1 i need it to copy range 1, if my value is 2 copy range 2 ect.
I have been trying to no luck to get anything that works like needed and would appreciate any help, thanks.
Test the next function, please:
Private Function testReturnBlock(strBlock As String, blkNo As Long)
Dim sh As Worksheet, ws As Worksheet, lastRow As Long, searchC As Range
Dim rng As Range
Set sh = ActiveSheet ' use here your sheet to be processed
Set ws = Worksheets("Return") 'use here your sheet where the data will be returned
Set searchC = sh.UsedRange.Find(strBlock)
If searchC Is Nothing Then MsgBox "No such a field in the worksheet...": Exit Function
lastRow = sh.Cells(Rows.Count, searchC.Column).End(xlUp).row
'The following part works well only if the blocks are separated by empty rows, as you said it is your sheet data case...
Set rng = sh.Range(searchC, sh.Cells(LastRow, searchC.Column)).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
ws.Range("A1").Resize(rng.Areas(blkNo).Rows.Count, 4).Value = rng.Areas(blkNo).Resize(, 4).Value
End Function
The above function should be called like this:
Sub testRetBlock()
testReturnBlock "INT_EXT_DOOR", 2
End Sub
But in order to see that the correct range has been returned, you must adapt them in a way (in your test sheet), do differentiate. I mean the second one to contain "HELLO1" (at least on its first row), the following "HELLO2" and so on...
Try this routine if it does what you need. otherwise it should be a good start for adding whatever you need on top.

' Search the first with empty cell
Do

Loop While wsSource.Cells(lRow, lBlockCol) <> ""
' Copy the range found into the destination sheet
Range(Cells(lBlockRow, lBlockCol), Cells(lRow - 1, lBlockCol + 3)).Copy wsDest.Range("A1")

Transfer a Range in a column in one sheet to a row in another sheet

I have a column in one sheet
I am trying to transfer it to another sheet on the same workbook. It must appear like the image below. The values must appear after the first ID column.
I tried the code below after reading and watching videos. I am further trying to identify the lastrow in Sheet2 and paste the values from Sheet1 to the next available row.
Sub Transpose()
Dim SourceSheet As Worksheet
Dim TransferSheet As Worksheet
Dim inRange, outRange As Range
Dim finalrow As Integer
Dim i As Integer
'Assign
Set SourceSheet = Sheets("Sheet1")
Set TransferSheet = Sheets("Sheet2")
SourceSheet.Activate
Set inRange = ActiveSheet.Range("B2:B11")
inRange.Copy
'TRANSFER
TransferSheet.Activate
finalrow = TransferSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row 'find last row
For i = 2 To 11
outRange = TransferSheet.Range(Cells(ii, finalrow), Cells(ii, finalrow))
outRange.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=True
Next i
End Sub
Here is an example following on from my comments
Option Explicit
Public Sub MyTranspose()
'This assumes column to row transpose
Dim SourceSheet As Worksheet, TransferSheet As Worksheet
Dim inRange As Range, inRangeValues() As Variant, outRangeValues() As Variant
Dim finalRow As Long
Set SourceSheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1") 'Assign reference
Set TransferSheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2")
Set inRange = SourceSheet.Range("B2:B11")
inRangeValues() = inRange.Value 'generate 2d array
outRangeValues = Application.Transpose(inRangeValues)
With TransferSheet 'Hold reference to parent worksheet
finalRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row 'find last row
If inRange.Columns.Count > 1 Then '2d array for output
.Cells(finalRow + 1, 2).Resize(UBound(outRangeValues, 1), UBound(outRangeValues, 2)) = outRangeValues 'Resize according to output array dimensions
Else '1D array for output
.Cells(finalRow + 1, 2).Resize(1, UBound(outRangeValues, 1)) = outRangeValues
End If
End With
End Sub
These were my comments (plus a bit):
Use Long rather than Integer, inRange needs to be explicitly declared as Range not implicitly as Variant. With Dim inRange, outRange As Range only outRange is a Range. You need Dim inRange As Range, outRange As Range.
You need Set when creating reference to Range object e.g. Set outRange = TransferSheet.Range(Cells(ii, finalrow), Cells(ii, finalrow)); here Cells will refer to currently active sheet and ii is never declared, but you are using a loop variable called i - typo? Other than that I am not sure pastespecial will work there either.
I would (depending on size of inRange as Transpose has a limit and will truncate or complain after that) read into array, use Transpose function and write out with Resize.
Use Worksheets collection not Sheets. Fully qualify cells references with parent sheet names; As you have these in variables just use the appopriate variable names. You don't need Activesheet and Activate this way and thus your code will be less bug prone (explicit sheet reference) and faster (due to not Activating sheet).
Give your sub a different name from the existing VBA method (something better, yet still descriptive, than I have used.
Try this, please:
Dim SourceSheet As Worksheet, TransferSheet As Worksheet
Dim rowVal As Variant, nrCol As Long, ColumnLetter As String
Set SourceSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Set TransferSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2")
rowVal = SourceSheet.Range("B2:B11")
nrCol = UBound(rowVal)
ColumnLetter = Split(Cells(1, nrCol + 1).Address, "$")(1)
TransferSheet.Range("B2:" & ColumnLetter & 2) = Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(rowVal)
So, the code declares both pages as you did.
Then the range in B:B column is included in the rowVal array. The number of columns is defined like Ubound(rowVal) and the Column letter of the sheet to paste the values is determined like ColumnLetter. nrCol + 1 is used because the paste cell will be in B:B column (the second one) and counting does not start from the first column.
Then, using Transpose function the array content is pasted in the TransferSheet appropriate row. The range column is built using the previous determined ColumnLetter...

Creating Invoices with VBA - Copy/Paste Loop

I am trying to create a VBA module, that takes data from a table in one worksheet and copies it to a second worksheet. This second worksheet should then be exported as a PDF.
The exporting part and naming the PDF is not an issue and I will only tackle this when the copying of the data from one sheet to the other works.
The structure of the table is that I have several rows that have data relevant to the invoice I want to fill on the second sheet and I would like that the macro loops through the whole file and only takes what it needs, but for now I am working on an easier version where I simply want to copy the data from a selection.
Option Explicit
Sub InvoiceCreator()
'create sheet
'Add info to sheet'
'save invoice sheet as PDF with name of customer
'reset sheet
'insert i+1 dataset
'loop til end

Set sREF = sRange.Cells(2, 22)
Set dREF = dWS.Range("E8")
dREF = sREF.Value
Set sPRT = sRange.Cells(2, 23)
Set dPRT = dWS.Range("E10")
dPRT = sPRT.Value
Set sDAT = sRange.Cells(2, 4)
Set dDAT = dWS.Range("F4")
dDAT = sDAT.Value
lastrow = sRange.End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To lastrow
sDES = sRange.Cells(i, 12)
dDES = dWS.Range("A" & i + 23)
dDES = sDES
Next i
End Sub
Most of the code works and copies values from one sheet to the other, but I am stuck with the last loop bit.
I want to take the value of the string in a cell and copy it to a cell in the other sheet and then copy the cell value of the cell below and copy it to the other worksheet one cell below until the end of my selection. I am not getting any error, but it is not copying the data.
Any advice?

Export last column of every sheet into text file

I have an Excel spreadsheet with many tabs. I'd like to export the last column of each sheet in a text file (all in the same file, the first line of the second sheet must go just after the last line of the fist sheet).
The thing is the number of columns changes from one sheet to another. The number of the last column can be given by the last non empty cell on the first row.
I've seen how to write in a file, but I'm clueless on how to iterate over sheets and rows...
Any help is welcome. Thanks.
You can find the last cell in a row using this code:
Sub LastCellInRow()
Range("IV1").End(xlToLeft).Select
End Sub
You can iterate through every Worsheet using the Worksheets collection:
Sub LoopThroughSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
'** Perform code here **
Next ws
End Sub
This works:
Dim r As Range
Dim s As Worksheet
Dim wbSource As Workbook
Dim wbDestination As Workbook
Dim lastcol As Long
Dim lastrow As Long
Dim cumrow As Long
Dim i As Long
Set wbSource = ActiveWorkbook
Set wbDestination = Workbooks.Open("C:\destination.xls")
cumrow = 0
For Each s In wbSource.Worksheets
lastcol = s.Cells(1, s.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
lastrow = s.Cells(s.Rows.Count, lastcol).End(xlUp).Row
Set r = s.Cells(1, lastcol).Resize(lastrow, 1) ' This is your column
' Copy it to appropriate location on destination sheet
wbDestination.Sheets(1).Cells(cumrow + 1, 1).Resize(lastrow, 1) = r
cumrow = cumrow + lastrow
Next s
The above was written and tested while on a video conference call!
