copying excel cells one by one and not range at once - excel

I'm developing some excel macros, and now I'm stucked with following,
I want the macro getting the cells from another file and put it on the new one but it is important to consider that copy the full range is not an option, so for example first i Need to copy a1 then a2 , etc ...
the reason is because after each "paste" process, I have to check, the old value and then start a triger of another macro depending on both values, and if ai paste the full range at once it is not working,.

Try getting the Cells value at given row and column from the Worksheet objects you are manipulating.
Example : I want to copye the value (cell content only, not style) from worksheet1 cell A1 to worksheet2 cell B3.
worksheet2.Cells(3, 2).Value = worksheet1.Cells(1, 1).Value
Simple as that.

Excel - Look through value for a particular column and paste in another sheet

I have a column with cells value is either 1 or empty / 0
I want to loop through individual cell from B4 to B50 to check the value in this sheet called "Data".
If value is 1, then copy the cell content on the left (A4) to another sheet called "Main" at B2.
While copying, it need to check the cell (B2) is empty, if not, check next B3, B4 and paste to next empty cell.
Pasting into cell should retain the format of the words (e.g. Bold,italic, if there is) and colour of the cells that is copying from.
Then return to "Data" sheet and resume checkin for value 1. Loop until B50.
Appreciate using excel 2016 VBA. I tried a few type of codes but remain error.

Macro to copy and paste as values only the active cells

I am new creating macros and I usually record them but I'm having problems copying and paste as values to remove the formula from 3 highlighted cells
For example I have a formula on cell B3 C3 & H3 so I would like to highlight only those cells manually and then the macro can remove the formula on each like copy and paste as values on the same cells
I have tried with ActiveCell.Select but that only works for 1 cell not for multiple cells and also the problem is that I need to change to values different cells each day
Not sure I follow your question exactly but here is what I think your asking for.
You can loop through each cell that is selected and then set the cell value to it's current value which effectively removes all formulas. There are other ways to do this but I think this best answers your specific question.
Sub removeFormula()
For Each cell In Selection
cell.Value = cell.Value
Next cell
End Sub

How do I reference a cell in range of worksheets and look for a specific value in Excel?

Is this possible?
=IF(COUNTIF('**ALLSHEETS**'!D4, "ICT"),**SHEETNAME**, FALSE)
Excel will look up a a specific value ("ICT") in the same cell in every sheet then if that cell contains the value it will return the name of the sheet(s)
You can do it with a little trick
Put this Formula in Cell A1 of Everysheet you want to get searched
=IF(D4="ICT",MID(#CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",#CELL("filename",A1))+1,255),"")
Then, in the required sheet!cell add all sheets like
=Sheet1!A1&Sheet2!A1&Sheet3!A1
Note: If it would be only one sheet having ICT and you are trying to find the sheet name, then this would be the easiest solution
But in case of multiple sheets having ICT in D4, the result would be a like
sheet1sheet2sheet3 in the same cell.

Excel: Need to copy and paste cells depending on non-blank status of cell values in one row in range

Macro newbie here....
I am trying to paste certain cells within a range from one worksheet to another based on the contents of cells in a particular row. For instance, within range B5:B100, I want to copy and paste the B cells to another worksheet -- and their companion row cells in columns J and M -- when the B cell of the row in question is non-blank. And instead of having blank columns in the worksheet2, I need the results to paste neatly into columns A,B,C).
For example, let's say there are only two non-blank cells in the worksheet1 range B5:B100 - cells B26 and B78. Running the range macro would then copy B26, J26, M26 and B78, J78, and M78 then paste them into the second worksheet starting at A2 (to allow for header row) and without blank rows (so B26 to A2, J26 to B2, M26 to C2 and B78 to A3, J78 to B3, and M78 to C3).
I was able to do a non-blank copy and paste of jsut the b column values but lost as to picking up the other needed cells for each row.
Thanks!
I would suggest:
Find the item using Cells.Find
When you find the item, you can get the row/column of the cell. Then on the new sheet, using a cell reference, you can say something like
Sheet2.Cells(curRow,"A").Value = Sheet1.Cells(foundCellRow,B).Value
For the adjacent columns, you can say
Sheet2.Cells(curRow,"B").Value = Sheet1.Cells(foundCellRow,"J").Value
I hope this helps

Excel: delete entire row when other cell equals a defined value

I have seen (searched) similar examples, but not quite what I am looking for.
I have a Workbook in Excel that has several sheets, Sheet A and B. These sheets have a bunch of data, so in order to display the most significant data on Sheet B from Sheet A, I want to mirror only the rows that I want to specify depending on the cell values on SheetA....I need to delete entire rows in Sheet B depending on the value in Sheet A.
For instance, in Sheet A I have column X with 10 values (Yes/No), and I have linked the same data with formulas back to Sheet B. That is, that if in SheetA X1="Yes", then SheetB cell Y1="Done"...if SheetA X2="Yes", then SheetB cell Y2="Done"...if SheetA X3="No", then SheetB cell Y1="Missing"..and so on.
So I only want the rows in SheetB with cell values="Done" to be there and thus want rows with cell values="Missing" to be automatically deleted. In this fashion, I would be creating a table that only includes the rows with "Done" values for the specified cell.
I know there are macros in Excel, but I have never written code in VBA, and the language handlers and variables escapes me entirely.
Is there a way to write a macro that can be called with in a formula; that is, e.x) if(A10="Yes", "", delete row macro here)???
Thanks!
From the wording in your question it seems you want to create a function that can be used in a cell that will alter other cells. That cannot be done. The functions, when used in a formula, are limited to changing the cell itself, and not other cells.
More then one way to skin a cat. Like Abe said you can`t use formula to alter other cells. But you can use VBA. The below sub removes entire rows where the cell in range is equal to 1. But you can make it equal to whatever you want.
Sub DeleteRows()
Dim FoundCell As Range
Set FoundCell = Worksheets("SheetB").Range("YourRange").Find(what:=1)
Do Until FoundCell Is Nothing
FoundCell.EntireRow.Delete
Set FoundCell = Worksheets("SheetB").Range("YourRange").FindNext
Loop
End Sub
Of course this is extra work. What you should do instead of copying the data from A to B and then processing it, just copy the done cells from A to B.
