Excel 2013 VBA - Runtime error 9: Subscript out of range - excel

I'm new to VBA and did run into a problem I can't seem to find a solution to on my own -> so Your help is much appreciated :).
I'm getting "Run-time error 9: Subscript out of range" when attempting to run following code:
Dim i as Long, l as Long, x as Long, y as Long, z as Long, lastrow as Long
'..some unrelevant code
x = 2
For y = 1 To lastrow Step 2: For i = y To lastrow Step 2: For z = 0 To 1
'..do stuff
If z = 0 Then
Dim datarange As Variant
Dim myvar As Double
Dim comp As Double
Dim lrow As Long
Dim lcol As Long
l = 0
lrow = x
datarange = Range("k" & x & ":" & "ab" & x + 1).Value
For lcol = 11 To 28
myvar = datarange(lrow, lcol)
comp = datarange(lrow + 1, lcol)
If comp > 1 Then
If myvar > 1 Then
l = l + 1
End If
Else: l = l + 1
End If
Next
End If
x = x + 1
Next: Next: Next
'..etc
I got to this point after implementing the code-part with grey background in effort to include following knowledge into my project: http://blogs.office.com/2008/10/03/what-is-the-fastest-way-to-scan-a-large-range-in-excel/ (third point "Use a variant type variable").
Thanks in advance!

If you'll pardon the expression, you've two-stepped out of the bounds of the array:)
The index numbers of the dataRange array are different then their row/column numbers. If you go to VB Editor, View, and the Locals window as you are stepping through the code (F8), you will see that the array is 1 to 2 by 1 to 18.

My Paste function isn't working and I don't know why

I am trying to copy the entry forms I select from the master list to a different worksheet. The idea is that it goes down a condensed list of names without details. Looks at what I have selected. Copies the selected entry form and pastes it in a new place to generate a list that only contains the entry forms I need. I can't tell if the loop is working properly because the paste function at the end isn't working.
Sub BidList()
'Sets unique terms used throught this code
Dim wQuick As Worksheet, wMaster As Worksheet
Dim BlankFound As Boolean
Dim x As Long, n As Long, y As Long
Dim firstrow As Long, pasterow As Long, lastrow As Long, PasteCell As String, MyRange As String
'Turns off Screen updating to save memory
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Store an initial value for "x" effectively starting the macro at C4 after the +1 in the next step
x = 3
n = 0
y = 0
Set wQuick = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Quick Reference")
Set wMaster = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("MASTER")
BlankFound = False
'Loop until x equals 600
Do While BlankFound = False
x = x + 1
n = n + 1
If Trim(wQuick.Cells(x, "B").Value) = "" Then Exit Do
'If there is a 1 in the Boolean column then ...
If Trim(wQuick.Cells(x, "C").Value) = "1" Then
'Move the y value so that the template is pasted in the appropriate place
y = y + 1
'Copy the appropriate form from wMaster
firstrow = (n * 9) + 18
lastrow = (n * 9) + 27
Let MyRange = "A" & firstrow & ":" & "K" & lastrow
wMaster.Range(MyRange).Copy
'Select the next place for the form to be pasted on wQuick
pasterow = (y * 9) - 5
Let PasteCell = "F" & "," & pasterow
wQuick.Cells(PasteCell).Paste
End If
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Please avoid copy-paste in Excel, better use a for-loop like the following:
# keep track of MyRange.Row and MyRange.Column
For Each cell in wMaster.Range(MyRange):
wQuick.Cells(<Starting point>).Offset(<take the cell coordinates, based on MyRange.Row and/or MyRange.Column>).Value = cell.Value

Adding recursive loop/function into a sort in VBA

I have a bubble sort that only works with the first element.
This is solved by reevaluating my array elements and placing them accordingly, which happens if I run the whole thing time and time again.
I'd like to add a recursive loop that's set to break when the sort is done.
I tried adding a function, but I'm not solid enough on my syntax to combine it with my sub. What is a basic recursion loop for this code? Function not expressly required, just something that will let me recall my sub.
Private Sub SortEverything_Click()
Dim everything() As Range
Dim check As Range
Dim count As Range
Dim sorting As Range

Dim firstcol As Long
y = 0
z = 0
q = 0
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Names and Vendors")
lr = .Cells(.Rows.count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
'Counts number of RMs to size the "everything" array
For z = 2 To lr
Set count = .Range("B" & z)
If IsEmpty(count) = False Then
count.Select
q = q + 1
End If
Next z
ReDim everything(q - 1) As Range 'Resizes array
'Loops all RM info into array by each distinct range
For x = 2 To lr
Set check = .Range("A" & x & ":H" & x)
'ensures subcomponents are added to range
If IsEmpty(.Range("B" & 1 + x)) = True Then
Do While IsEmpty(.Range("B" & 1 + x)) = True And x < lr
Set check = Union(check, .Range("A" & 1 + x & ":H" & 1 + x))

End If

Found out what I needed to do. Put the whole thing under a Do loop and then added the following lines to it:
'checking to see if array is completely alphabetized
For Each cell In .Range("B2:B" & lr)
'Returns first check value
If IsEmpty(cell) = False Then
cell.Select
check1 = "" & cell.Value
x = cell.Row
.Range("A14").Value = check1
'Returns next check value
For z = x + 1 To lr
Set checking = .Range("B" & z)
If IsEmpty(checking) = False Then
checking.Select
check2 = "" & .Range("B" & z).Value
.Range("A15").Value = check2
Exit For
End If
Next z
Else
End If
If check2 > check1 Then
Exit For
End If
Next cell
'If the last two values are sorted, then the whole thing is sorted and we can stop the recursion
If check2 < check1 Or check1 = check2 Then
Exit Do
End If

from single column to 3X8 tables

I have a sorted list of names in a single column. I would like to transform the names to 3X8 tables before printing them (printing single column would use too much paper). This is Excel. I'll copy names one by one and paste to a blank sheet.
Using numbers as an example, the resulting order should look like this:
1 9 17
2 10 18
3 11 19
4 12 20
5 13 21
6 14 22
7 15 23
8 16 24
25 33 41
26 34 42
27 35 43
........
Possible to get a general answer (n x m table)?
Below is what I have got. It's close but not quite right.
last_row = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Cells(20000,1).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To last_row/24 +1 Step 1
For k = 1 To 3 Step 1
For j = 1 To members_per_column Step 1
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Cells( i + j + (k - 1) * 8 + (i - 1) * 16 + 1, _
name_column).Copy
Worksheets(destination_page).Cells( i + j - 1, (k - 1) +1).PasteSpecial _
Paste:=xlPasteValues
Next j
Next k
Next i
You were already close. I wrapped the code into a function so you can easily re-use it on any matrix size:
Option Explicit
Public Sub TransformIntoBlocks(ByVal MatrixRows As Long, ByVal MatrixColumns As Long, ByVal SourceRange As Range, ByVal OutputStartRange As Range)
Dim BlockStartRow As Long
BlockStartRow = 1
Dim iRowSource As Long
iRowSource = 1
Dim AmountOfBlocks As Long
AmountOfBlocks = WorksheetFunction.RoundUp(SourceRange.Rows.Count / (MatrixRows * MatrixColumns), 0)
Dim iBlock As Long
For iBlock = 1 To AmountOfBlocks
Dim iCol As Long
For iCol = 1 To MatrixColumns
Dim iRow As Long
For iRow = BlockStartRow To BlockStartRow + MatrixRows - 1
OutputStartRange.Offset(iRow - 1, iCol - 1).Value = SourceRange(iRowSource, 1).Value
iRowSource = iRowSource + 1
Next iRow
Next iCol
BlockStartRow = BlockStartRow + MatrixRows
Next iBlock
End Sub
Sub test()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
TransformIntoBlocks MatrixRows:=8, MatrixColumns:=3, SourceRange:=ws.Range("A1", ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp)), OutputStartRange:=Tabelle2.Range("C1")
End Sub
Rather than going through three loops, I ended up just using one loop to write in the correct position using mod.
Seems obvious to me as the writer, but please ask questions if it's unclear- it helps the next reader.
Option Explicit
Sub ColumnSplit()
Dim input_rows As Integer
Dim output_columns As Integer
Dim output_rows As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim input_sheet As Worksheet
Dim output_sheet As Worksheet
Set input_sheet = Sheet1
Set output_sheet = Sheet2
'output_sheet.Cells.Clear 'optional
output_columns = 3 'Hard coded. Set to whatever you like
input_rows = input_sheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
output_rows = CInt(WorksheetFunction.Ceiling(CDbl(input_rows) / CDbl(output_columns), 1))
For i = 1 To input_rows
output_sheet.Cells( _
((i - 1) Mod output_rows) + 1 _
, (WorksheetFunction.Floor((i - 1) / output_rows, 1) Mod output_columns) + 1 _
) _
= input_sheet.Cells(i, 1) 'cells(calculate output row,calculate output column) = input value
Next i

How to use VBA to "transpose" a column of grouped data separated by blanks to rows

Since i find my problem hard to explain, I'll just provide an example.
This is the format of the data i have in excel in a column, separated by blanks.
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I wish to transpose it so that the final result is:
A B F
C G
D H
E
How do I do that?
Here is Honorez's method:
Sub Honorez()
Dim N As Long, i As Long, j As Long, k As Long
N = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
j = 2
k = 0
For i = 1 To N
v = Cells(i, 1)
If v = "" Then
j = j + 1
k = 0
Else
k = k + 1
Cells(k, j) = v
End If
Next i
End Sub
Array method
In addition to #Gary's-Student 's fine solution, I demonstrate another approach using a datafield Array and write back values directly to the new columns:
Sub Honorez2()
Dim rng As Range
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Honorez")
Dim i As Long, ii As Long, j As Long, m As Long, n As Long
Dim a()
' get data
n = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = ws.Range("A1:A" & n)
rng.Offset(0, 1).Resize(n, n - WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("A:A")) + 1) = "" ' clear prior values
' write data field to array
a = rng
j = 2 ' start column for results
For i = 1 To n
If a(i, 1) = "" Or i = n Then
' write data to new column
ws.Range(ws.Cells(1, j), ws.Cells(i - ii, j)).Value = _
ws.Range(ws.Cells(ii + 1, 1), ws.Cells(i, 1)).Value
' remember row and increment column counter
ii = i: j = j + 1
End If
Next i
End Sub

Getting Runtime error '6': Overflow error

Code was working fine up until a couple of days ago but now getting the subject-line error. Help?
Sub CopyRows()
Dim bottomL As Integer
Dim x As Integer
bottomL = Sheets("Pacer").Range("L" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row: x = 1
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Sheets("Pacer").Range("A1:L" & bottomL)
If (c.Value = "AFSB" Or c.Value = "TEIGIP4T" Or c.Value = "EPP") Then
Intersect(c.Parent.Columns("A:Q"), c.EntireRow).Copy Worksheets("Portfolio").Range("A" & x + 1)
x = x + 1
End If
Next c
End Sub
Variable
bottomL As Integer
Will give overflow error the moment it exceeds 32,767 rows. Try declaring it as long
bottomL As Long
Edit: The rule applies to X as well as it is incrementing.
Try this
Option Explicit
Sub CopyRows()
Dim bottomL As Long
Dim x As Long
bottomL = Sheets("Pacer").Range("L" & Rows.CountLarge).End(xlUp).Row: x = 1
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Sheets("Pacer").Range("A1:L" & bottomL)
If (c.Value = "AFSB" Or c.Value = "TEIGIP4T" Or c.Value = "EPP") Then
Intersect(c.Parent.Columns("A:Q"), c.EntireRow).Copy Worksheets("Portfolio").Range("A" & x + 1)
x = x + 1
End If
Next c
End Sub
