How to get the address of a range with multiple subranges, including the sheet name in EACH subrange? - excel

With the union statement I created a range existing of multiple subranges, of Worksheet("data"). I need that range for calculations on another worksheet, Worksheet("weekly"). Therefore I want the address of the range including the sheet name in each subrange. rRng is my range existing of several subranges.
rRng.Address(External:=True) returns: "data!$D$1570:$D$1575,$D$2992:$D$3000,$D$5979:$D$5988"
However, to calculate the average of the cells in this range I need: "data!$D$1570:$D$1575,data!$D$2992:$D$3000,data!$D$5979:$D$5988"
The only solution I found so far is:
Dim range_string As String
range_string = ""
Dim SubRange As range
For Each SubRange In rRng
range_string = range_string & SubRange.Address(External:=True) & ","
Next SubRange
range_string = Left(range_string, (Len(range_string) - 1))
Worksheets("weekly").range("$C2").Formula = "=AVERAGE(" & range_string & ")"
There must be a more easy way. Any suggestions?
Kind regards,
Sandra

Each of those subranges is called an Area. You can loop through the Areas of a range and build the string. Here's an example.
Sub test()
Dim rng As Range
Dim rArea As Range
Dim sForm As String
'union the ranges
Set rng = Sheet1.Range("D1570:d1575")
Set rng = Union(rng, Sheet1.Range("D2992:d3000"))
'loop through the areas and build the string
For Each rArea In rng.Areas
sForm = sForm & rArea.Address(, , , True) & ","
Next rArea
'remove the last comma
sForm = Left$(sForm, Len(sForm) - 1)
'insert the formula
Sheet2.Range("A1").Formula = "=AVERAGE(" & sForm & ")"
Debug.Print Sheet2.Range("A1").Formula
End Sub
The debug.print produces:
=AVERAGE(data!$D$1570:$D$1575,data!$D$2992:$D$3000)

VBA execute Sumif function across sheets for all rows in a column, then duplicate the task for different columns and sumranges

I have a worksheet (named RsOut) with 235 columns. I need to overwrite the values in only certain columns with data from another sheet(named rsTrans). Both sheets have a unique identifier that I am using to match.
I decided to use the Sumif function to populate the rsOut worksheet. Where I ran into a snag is I cannot figure out how to run the script for all rows in the column that have data.
Once we figure this out, I need to repeat this process for roughly 15 other columns.
My over-arching question is even after we get the sumif to work properly, what is the most efficient way to execute the code so that it repeats 15 more times?
The Criteria list and the CriteriaRange will always have the same location. But the Sum Range and the column where the results are inserted will change for each of the 15 columns.
So, Thoughts on the most efficient way to proceed...maybe separate the sumif code as it's own block and call upon it instead of repeating the steps over and over, and/or list out all the sum ranges and all the insert ranges, so the script just loops through them..Would love your insight VBA masters.
Issue:
I think my main issue is that I tried to use a rngList as the criteria.
I also tried to separate the sumif as a separate block of code, to call on. I may have screwed something up there as well.
The error highlights on the Set sumRange row. (Runtime error 1004 - Method 'Range' of Object '_Worksheet' Failed.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!!
Sub SumifmovewsTransdatatowsOut()
Dim wb As Workbook, wsOut As Worksheet
Dim wsTrans As Worksheet, rngList As Range
Dim sumRange As Range
Dim criteriaRange As Range
Dim criteria As Long 'Setting as long because the IDs (criteria) are at least 20 characters. Should this be a range??
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set wsTrans = Worksheets("DEL SOURCE_Translator") 'Worksheet that contains analysis and results that need to be inserted into wsOut
Set wsOut = Worksheets("FID GDMR - Output_2") 'Worksheet where you are pasting results from wsTrans
Set rngList = wsOut.Range("B2:B" & wsOut.Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row) 'this range of IDs will be different every run, thus adding in the count to find last row...or do I not need the rnglist at all? Just run the sumif for all criteria B2:b
Set sumRange = wsTrans.Range("ag21:ag") 'Values in wsTrans that need to be added to wsOut
Set criteriaRange = wsTrans.Range("AA21:AA") 'Range of IDs found on wsTrans
criteria = rngList
Sumif
End Sub
'Standard Sumif formula
Sub Sumif()
wsOut.Range("AT2:AT") = WorksheetFunction.SumIfs(sumRange, criteriaRange, criteria)
End Sub
'OR should the Sumif formula be: rng.Formula = "=SUMIF(criteriaRange,rngList,sumRange)"
SUBSEQUENT TESTING after receiving recommendations:
I tested using the second recommendation only because a future user could easily change out the array values if the columns shifted on the wsout template. Below is the code that I used and the resulting error.
Result issues:
the result in each changed cell is #NAME?
a pop up box shows up for each request. It is looking for the translater. See screenshot below. If I x out of each pop up box, the script completes and each cell has the #NAME?
enter image description here
Thoughts on what went wrong?
Code:
Sub test2()
Dim wsTrans As Worksheet: Dim wsOut As Worksheet
Dim rgCrit As String: Dim rgSum As String
Dim rgR As Range: Dim i As Integer: Dim arr
arr = Array("AG:AT", "AJ:BB", "AM:BJ", "AT:BR", "AZ:CA", "BP:DE", "BW:DO") 'change as needed
Set wsTrans = Sheets("DEL SOURCE_Translator") 'change as needed
Set wsOut = Sheets("FID GDMR - Output_2") 'change as needed
rgCrit = wsTrans.Name & "!" & wsTrans.Columns(27).Address 'Column 27 is AA in wsTrans which contains the criteria range
Set rgR = wsOut.Range("B2", wsOut.Range("B2").End(xlDown)) 'change as needed
startCell = "$" & Replace(rgR(1, 1).Address, "$", "")
For i = LBound(arr) To UBound(arr)
rgSum = wsTrans.Name & "!" & Split(arr(i), ":")(0) & ":" & Split(arr(i), ":")(0)
With rgR.Offset(0, Range(Split(arr(i), ":")(1) & 1).Column - rgR.Column)
.Value = "=SUMIF(" & rgCrit & "," & startCell & "," & rgSum & ")"
.Value = .Value
End With
Next
End Sub
'Sum Ranges in wsTrans: AG, AJ, AM, AT, AZ, BP, BW
'Result Columns in wsOut: AT, BB, BJ, BR, CA, DE, DO
Additional Review:
Also, to test, instead of x'ing out of the pop up, I selected my file in the pop up. when I did, a second pop up below showed up. Interestingly, the sheet name is missing the DEL on the front. When I select the correct sheet, I still get the #Name? error.

Okay, so your question is a little too broad for this website. The general rule is each question should address one specific issue.
That being said, I think I can help you with a few easy to solve points.
1) Making Sumif Work:
Using Sumif() function inside a Sub is the same as using it in an Excel formula. First you need two full ranges, next you need a value to lookup.
Full ranges: wsTrans.Range("ag21:ag") is not going to work because it doesn't have an end row. Instead, it needs to be wsTrans.Range("AG21:AG100"). Now since you don't seem to know your last row, I would suggest you find that first and then integrate it into all your ranges. I'm using the variable lRow below.
Option Explicit
Sub TestSum2()
Dim WB As Workbook
Dim wsTrans As Worksheet
Dim wsOut As Worksheet
Dim criteriaRange As Range
Dim sumRange As Range
Dim rngList As Range
Dim aCriteria 'Array
Dim lRow As Long
Set WB = ThisWorkbook
Set wsTrans = WB.Worksheets("DEL SOURCE_Translator")
Set wsOut = WB.Worksheets("FID GDMR - Output_2")
lRow = wsOut.Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rngList = wsOut.Range("B2:B" & lRow)
aCriteria = rngList 'Transfer Range to array
lRow = wsTrans.Range("AA" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set sumRange = wsTrans.Range("AG21:AG" & lRow)
Set criteriaRange = wsTrans.Range("AA21:AA" & lRow)
Debug.Print Application.WorksheetFunction.SumIf(criteriaRange, aCriteria(1, 1), sumRange)
End Sub
The above sub returns:
Which is correct considering the following sheets:
2) Making it loop through the criteria list
You've already made a great start on looping through this criteria list by importing rngList into an array. Next we just need to loop that array like so:
Option Explicit
Sub TestSum2()
Dim WB As Workbook
Dim wsTrans As Worksheet
Dim wsOut As Worksheet
Dim criteriaRange As Range
Dim sumRange As Range
Dim rngList As Range
Dim aCriteria 'Array
Dim lRow As Long
Dim I As Long
Set WB = ThisWorkbook
Set wsTrans = WB.Worksheets("DEL SOURCE_Translator")
Set wsOut = WB.Worksheets("FID GDMR - Output_2")
lRow = wsOut.Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rngList = wsOut.Range("B2:B" & lRow)
aCriteria = rngList 'Transfer Range to array
lRow = wsTrans.Range("AA" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set sumRange = wsTrans.Range("AG21:AG" & lRow)
Set criteriaRange = wsTrans.Range("AA21:AA" & lRow)
For I = 1 To UBound(aCriteria, 1)
Debug.Print "Sum of " & aCriteria(I, 1) & "=" & _
Application.WorksheetFunction. _
SumIf(criteriaRange, aCriteria(I, 1), sumRange)
Next I
End Sub
This results in an output of:
Then to finish it off, you'll need to check which column to put it in, maybe with a .Find or maybe with a Match() of the column headers, but I don't know what your data looks like. But, if you just want to output that range to your output sheet here's how to do that:
Sub TestSum2()
Dim WB As Workbook
Dim wsTrans As Worksheet
Dim wsOut As Worksheet
Dim criteriaRange As Range
Dim sumRange As Range
Dim rngList As Range
Dim aCriteria 'Array
Dim OutputSums
Dim lRow As Long
Dim I As Long
Set WB = ThisWorkbook
Set wsTrans = WB.Worksheets("DEL SOURCE_Translator")
Set wsOut = WB.Worksheets("FID GDMR - Output_2")
lRow = wsOut.Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rngList = wsOut.Range("B2:B" & lRow)
aCriteria = rngList 'Transfer Range to array
lRow = wsTrans.Range("AA" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set sumRange = wsTrans.Range("AG21:AG" & lRow)
Set criteriaRange = wsTrans.Range("AA21:AA" & lRow)
ReDim OutputSums(1 To UBound(aCriteria, 1), 1 To 1)
For I = 1 To UBound(aCriteria, 1)
OutputSums(I, 1) = Application.WorksheetFunction. _
SumIf(criteriaRange, aCriteria(I, 1), sumRange)
Next I
wsOut.Range("C2").Resize(UBound(OutputSums, 1), 1) = OutputSums
End Sub
Resulting in:
If I understand you correctly, besides Mr. Cameron's answers, another way maybe you can have the VBA using formula.
Before running the sub is something like this :
After running the sub (expected result) is something like this:
Please ignore the fill color, the sorting and the value, as they are used is just to be easier to calculate manually for the expected result.
The Criteria list and the CriteriaRange will always have the same
location. But the Sum Range and the column where the results are
inserted will change for each of the 15 columns.
Since you don't mention where are the columns for the Sum Range will be, this code assume that it will be in a consecutive column to the right of column ID, as seen in the image of sheet1 ---> rgSUM1, rgSUM2, rgSUM3.
And because you also don't mention in what column in sheet2 the result is, this code assume that it will be in a consecutive column to the right of column ID, as seen in the image of sheet2 ---> SUM1, SUM2, SUM3.
If your Sum Range columns are random and/or your Sum Result columns are random, then you can't use this code. For example : your rgSum1 is in column D sheet1 - rgSum1Result sheet2 column Z, rgSum2 is in column AZ sheet1 - rgSum2Result sheet2 column F, rgSum3 is in column Q sheet1 - rgSum3Result sheet2 column DK, and so on until 15 columns. I think it will need an array of column letter for both rgSum and rgSumResult if they are random.
Sub test()
Dim sh1 As Worksheet: Dim sh2 As Worksheet
Dim rgCrit As String: Dim rgSum As String
Dim rgR As Range: Dim col As Integer
col = 3 'change as needed
Set sh1 = Sheets("Sheet1") 'change as needed
Set sh2 = Sheets("Sheet2") 'change as needed
rgCrit = sh1.Name & "!" & sh1.Columns(1).Address 'change as needed
rgSum = sh1.Name & "!" & Replace(sh1.Columns(2).Address, "$", "") 'change as needed
Set rgR = sh2.Range("A2", sh2.Range("A2").End(xlDown)) 'change as needed
startCell = "$" & Replace(rgR(1, 1).Address, "$", "")
With rgR.Resize(rgR.Rows.Count, col).Offset(0, 1)
.Value = "=SUMIF(" & rgCrit & "," & startCell & "," & rgSum & ")"
.Value = .Value
End With
End Sub
Basically the code just fill the range of the expected result with SUMIF formula.
col = how many columns are there as the sum range
sh1 (wsTrans in your case) is the sheet where the ID and the multiple sum range are.
sh2 (wsOut in your case) is the sheet where the ID to sum and the multiple sum result are.
rgCrit is the sh1 name with the column of the range of criteria (column A, (ID) in this case)
rgSum is the sh1 name with the first column of Sum Range (column B in this case)
rgR is the range of the unique ID in sheet2 (column A in this case, must have no blank cell in between, because it use xldown) and finally, startCell is the first cell address of rgR
Below if the SumRange and ResultRange are random column.
Sub test2()
Dim sh1 As Worksheet: Dim sh2 As Worksheet
Dim rgCrit As String: Dim rgSum As String
Dim rgR As Range: Dim i As Integer: Dim arr
arr = Array("B:G", "F:E", "D:B") 'change as needed
Set sh1 = Sheets("Sheet13") 'change as needed
Set sh2 = Sheets("Sheet14") 'change as needed
rgCrit = sh1.Name & "!" & sh1.Columns(1).Address 'change as needed
Set rgR = sh2.Range("A2", sh2.Range("A2").End(xlDown)) 'change as needed
startCell = "$" & Replace(rgR(1, 1).Address, "$", "")
For i = LBound(arr) To UBound(arr)
rgSum = sh1.Name & "!" & Split(arr(i), ":")(0) & ":" & Split(arr(i), ":")(0)
With rgR.Offset(0, Range(Split(arr(i), ":")(1) & 1).Column - rgR.Column)
.Value = "=SUMIF(" & rgCrit & "," & startCell & "," & rgSum & ")"
.Value = .Value
End With
Next
End Sub
The arr value is in pair : sum range column - sum result column.
Example arr in code :
First loop : sum range column is B (sheet1) where the result will be in column G (sheet2).
Second loop: sum range column is F (sheet1) where the result will be in column E (sheet2).
Third loop: sum range column is D (sheet1) where the result will be in column B (sheet2).

How to get offset range to work in formula?

I'm having trouble getting an offset range into a formula. The idea is to have a user input the text they want to search for in a string, the value if found, and the value if not found. And then turn all of that into a formula that gets inserted in the selected cell in the active sheet. The problem is that the formula returns the value of SearchCell and not the range.
How can I put the range of SearchCell in the formula and not the value of SearchCell?
Sub SearchString()
Dim SelectedCell As Range
Dim SearchCell As Range
Dim SearchValue As Variant
Dim FoundValue As Variant
Dim NotFoundValue As Variant
Set SelectedCell = Application.Selection
Set SearchCell = SelectedCell.Offset(, -1)
SearchValue = InputBox("What do you want to search for?")
FoundValue = InputBox("If found?")
NotFoundValue = InputBox("If not found?")
SelectedCell.Formula = "=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(""*" & SearchValue & "*""," & SearchCell & ")), _
""" & FoundValue & """, """ & NotFoundValue & """)"
End Sub
SearchCell.Address(RowAbsolute:=False, ColumnAbsolute:=False)

Copy several cells to paste into one single cell

I have three different named ranges, I want the macro to copy all three, to consolidate them all (each on one separate line), and to paste them in one single cell in another worksheet.
Dim range1 As Range, range2 As Range, range3 As Range, multipleRange As Range
Set range1 = wsForm.Range("Details_Absenteisme")
Set range2 = wsForm.Range("Boite_Infraction")
Set range3 = wsForm.Range("Boite_Corrections")
Set multipleRange = Union(range1, range2, range3)
ws_operation.Range("I" & lrow_operation).Value = multipleRange
This only paste the value in range1.
Concatenate the values together and then paste them into the cell you want.
I added a space in between the different values.
dim copystr as string
copystr = wsForm.Range("Details_Absenteisme").value & _
" " & wsForm.Range("Boite_Infraction").value & _
" " & wsForm.Range("Boite_Corrections").value
ws_operation.Range("I" & lrow_operation).Value = copystr
Loop the pre mention ranges and get all the values included. This is used in case you have many cells in your range
Sub test()
Dim nameRng As Variant
Dim i As Long
Dim cell As Range
Dim str As String
nameRng = Split("Details_Absenteisme,Boite_Infraction,Boite_Corrections", ",")
str = ""
For i = LBound(nameRng) To UBound(nameRng)
With wsForm
For Each cell In .Range(nameRng(i))
If str = "" Then
str = cell.Value
Else
str = str & " " & cell.Value
End If
Next cell
End With
Next i
MsgBox str
End Sub

How to make exceptions in a copy of a row

I'm beginner at Macros I need to do a copy of rows but I have to exclude some columns. EntireRow is working but I need to exclude the columns I,G,H
Sub Macro1()
Dim RngToChk as Range, RngToPaste as Range
Set RngToCheck=Application.InputBox(Prompt:="enter range", Type:=8)
Dim strtofind as String
Inttofind=InputBox("Give your Indicator")
Dim i as long
For i = RngToChk.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
If RngToChk(i).value=strtofind Then
RngToCheck(i).Offset(1).EntireRow.Insert
Set RngToPaste=RngToChk(i).Offset(1)
RngToPaste.EntireRow.Value=RngToChk(i).EntireRow.Value
RngToPaste.EntireRow.Font.Color=RGB(255,0,0)
End If
Next i
End Sub
Add this function to your module:
Function AlmostEntireRow(StartingPoint As Range) As Range
Dim Row As Long
Dim TargetSheet As Worksheet
Row = StartingPoint.Row
Set TargetSheet = StartingPoint.Worksheet
Set AlmostEntireRow = Union(TargetSheet.Range("A" & Row & ":F" & Row), TargetSheet.Range("J" & Row & ":GR" & Row))
End Function
When you are using it, replace
RngToPaste.EntireRow.Font.Color=RGB(255,0,0)
with
AlmostEntireRow(RngToPaste).Font.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
and so on.
The function builds a range from the input range, consisting of columns A to F and J to GR. Adjust as needed.
Update
The suggested method does not work when copying rows. Here is a copy method as well.
Sub CopyAlmostEntireRow(FromRow As Range, ToRow As Range)
Dim FromRange As Range
Dim ToRange As Range
Set FromRange = FromRow.Worksheet.Range("A" & FromRow.Row & ":F" & FromRow.Row)
Set ToRange = ToRow.Worksheet.Range("A" & ToRow.Row & ":F" & ToRow.Row)
ToRange.Value = FromRange.Value
Set FromRange = FromRow.Worksheet.Range("J" & FromRow.Row & ":GR" & FromRow.Row)
Set ToRange = ToRow.Worksheet.Range("J" & ToRow.Row & ":GR" & ToRow.Row)
ToRange.Value = FromRange.Value
End Sub
' Call with something like this:
CopyAlmostEntireRow RngToChk(i), RngToPaste

How to select columns through VBA when the columns selectin reference is: A,E,D,S

I'm requesting a parameter from the user to specify columns (in Excel) to select, but am having some issues with converting the value to a string that I can use in VBA for reference.
I'm trying to avoid having the user enter A:A,E:E,D:D,S:S and instead just enter A,E,D,S in a cell. I'm sure the answer is right there but at the moment it's escaping me. Any suggestions?
Like I said,
Split on the , and iterate through the resultant array and build the range:
Sub fooooo()
Dim str As String
Dim rng As Range
Dim strArr() As String
str = "A,E,D,S" 'you can change this to the cell reference you want.
strArr = Split(str, ",")
With Worksheets("Sheet1") ' change to your sheet
Set rng = .Range(strArr(0) & ":" & strArr(0))
For i = 1 To UBound(strArr)
Set rng = Union(rng, .Range(strArr(i) & ":" & strArr(i)))
Next i
End With
Debug.Print rng.Address
End Sub
You can always turn this into a Function that returns a range:
Function fooooo(str As String, ws As Worksheet) As Range
Dim rng As Range
Dim strArr() As String
strArr = Split(str, ",")
With ws ' change to your sheet
Set rng = .Range(strArr(0) & ":" & strArr(0))
For i = 1 To UBound(strArr)
Set rng = Union(rng, .Range(strArr(i) & ":" & strArr(i)))
Next i
End With
Set fooooo = rng
End Function
Then you would call it like this from any sub you need:
Sub foofind()
Dim rng As Range
Dim str As String
str = "A,E,D,S"
Set rng = fooooo(str, Worksheets("Sheet1"))
Debug.Print rng.Address
