Enter a formula into cells with VBA - excel

Ok, so this is likely the combination of a number of existing questions, but here goes...
I have a requirement to copy data from one sheet to another, then change some data, then add a column to the end with the following:
=if(G2="+",1,0)
This then needs to run down the entirety of the dataset, but the number of rows varies.
Is there a way I can get this formula to appear next to every row that contains data and no further using vba?

Here is an example in which the formula column is column H
Sub qwertyu()
Dim N As Long
N = Cells(Rows.Count, "G").End(xlUp).Row
Dim xCol As String
xCol = "H"
Range(xCol & 2 & ":" & xCol & N).Formula = "=if(G2=""+"",1,0)"
End Sub
Change the column ID to suit your needs.

Yes you can!
Sub ABC()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim Lastrow As Long
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1") ' change to relevant sheet
With ws
Lastrow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row ' change "A" to correct column
.Range("A1:A" & Lastrow).Formula = "=if(G2="+",1,0)" 'change "A1:A" to correct column
' convert formulas to values if you like:
.Range("A1:A" & Lastrow).Value = .Range("A1:A" & Lastrow).Value 'again change "A1:A" to correct column
End With
End Sub

How to autofill column with specific value (number) until the row of another column in excel using vba?

I need column J to be filled with the value 1 in all cells until the rows that are filled in column A. Could someone provide me with the vba code for the same? Thanks in advance.
If you want to autofill 2010 until the row of column B with value 1:
Sub test()
Dim lastrow As Long
lastrow = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("A2:A" & lastrow).Value = 2010
End Sub
Give a try on below codes-
Sub FillCells()
Dim lr As Long, i As Long
Dim rng As Range
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To lr
Cells(i, "J") = 1
Next i
End Sub
Please, try the next code line:
Range("J2:J" & Range("A" & rows.count).End(xlUp).row).Value = 1
Edited
You asked in a comment to another answer something about doing it for specific sheets.
Please, try the next way:
Dim ws As Worksheet, i As Long
For i = 2 To 5
Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(i)
ws.Range("J2:J" & ws.Range("A" & ws.rows.count).End(xlUp).row).Value = 1
Next i

Excel VBA - Add hyphens to column A if column B contains specific letter

Please help a newbie.
Using Excel VBA, I am trying to format the text in column A with hyphens but only if column B contains the letter B.
I have found the code below, one which formats the cells in column A with hyphens, and another code which checks column B for the correct value, but cannot seem to combine them to work. Help please.
Thank you.

if then till last row

I want that if cell in column e is not blank but cell in column i is blank then write unregister in column i or else write what ever written in column i.
Please help - I have used below code:
Sub Simple_If()
Dim lastrow As Long
lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp).Row
If Range("e2:e" & lastrow).Value <> "" And Range("i2:i" & lastrow).Value = "" Then
Range("i2:i" & lastrow).Value = "unregister"
End If
End Sub
The reason your code was not working is because you can't get .value of a .range (Range("e2:e" & lastrow).Value <> ""). Instead, use a for loop to iterate through each cells value individually.
I have commented each line of the code below to help you understand what is happening.
To make this work, change SO.xlsm to the name of your workbook and 63649177 to the name of your worksheet.
Sub Simple_If()
Dim WB As Workbook ' workbook - full name of the file containing data.
Dim WS As Worksheet ' worksheet - worksheet within workbook containing data.
Dim lRow As Long ' last row - find last row containing data
Dim i As Long ' iteration - used for loop
Set WB = Workbooks("SO.xlsm") ' set the name of the workbook here
Set WS = WB.Worksheets("63649177") ' set the name of the worksheet here
lRow = WS.Cells(WS.Rows.count, "E").End(xlUp).Row ' find the last row of E in the WS object, not user defined.
Set Rng = WS.Range("E2:E" & lRow) ' set the initial range
For i = 2 To lRow ' from line 2 to the last row, repeat this loop
If WS.Range("E" & i).Value <> "" And WS.Range("I" & i).Value = "" Then ' if E contains data and I does not then
WS.Range("I" & i).Value = "unregister" ' fill cell with "unregister"
End If ' end if
Next ' cycle through next iteration of loop
End Sub
Output
Loop Through Rows
You were trying to check the values of two ranges "E2:E & LastRow" and "I2:I & LastRow" in one go, but you cannot do that. You have to loop through the rows of the ranges and check each cell i.e. "E2", "E3", "E4" ... "E" & LastRow and "I2", "I3", "I4" ... "I" & LastRow. For this task a For Next loop can used.
The 1st code is showing how it is done using Range.
The 2nd code is showing how it is done using column strings (letters) with Cells.
The 3rd code is showing how it is done using column numbers with Cells.
The 4th code is showing how you can define the column ranges (rng1, rng2) and use Cells with one parameter.
The 5th code is showing how you can define constants to store the so called 'magic' characters and later quickly access (change) them. It is also modified to be able to change the resulting column (tgtCol).
Range might seem easier, but you have to learn Cells, too, e.g. because you cannot loop through columns using Range, you have to use column numbers with Cells.
Study the first three codes closely, and you will learn the differences soon enough.

Append cell to a different cell

I Have a Column C that has names in all its cells and another Column E that has the same company name in all its cells I need to append the names in Column C to the company name in column E
Thanks
Ex:
ColC ColE
Bob SampleCo
Sally SamplCo
I get
ColC ColE
Bob SampleCo Bob
Sally SamplCo Sally
I am trying but failing with
Sub CompanyName()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim Ws As Worksheet
Dim rRange As range
Set rRange = range("E2")
rRange.Select
Set Ws = Sheets("WP_SubjectList_Ready")
LastRow = Ws.range("F" & Ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Ws.range("E2:E" & LastRow).FormulaR1C1 = "=rRange &RC[-1]"
range("E2:E" & LastRow).Copy
range("E2:E" & LastRow).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End Sub
Code
Sub CompanyName()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim Ws As Worksheet
Set Ws = Sheets("WP_SubjectList_Ready")
LastRow = Ws.Range("E" & Ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Ws.Range("F2:F" & LastRow).FormulaR1C1 = "= RC[-1] & "" "" & RC[-3]"
End Sub
If you want the output in Column E its not possible using FormulaR1C1.
Any formula which work for excel interface will work for FormulaR1C1.
With that i mean (considering the image) in cell F2 you can manullay enter a formula = E2 & " " & C2 which will give you desired output. But if you enter in cell E2the formula as =E2 & " " & C2 the cell E2 will loose its value and this may even lead to circular reference issue.
It can be achieved using below code.
Sub CompanyName()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim Ws As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range, cell As Range
Set Ws = Sheets("WP_SubjectList_Ready")
LastRow = Ws.Range("E" & Ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = Ws.Range("E2:E" & LastRow)
For Each cell In rng
cell = cell & " " & cell.Offset(0, -2)
Next
End Sub
Here's some code that should help you with what you want...I don't typically use ranges for loops because it's easier to use .Cells(row, col) for me, but anyways:
EDIT: Added Sub Opening/Closing Syntax and edited to use WS instead of ActiveSheet so it's closer to what you want
Sub CompanyName()
Dim WS as Worksheet
Dim vRow
Dim vRowCount As Integer
Set WS = Sheets("WP_SubjectList_Ready")
'Gets Row # of Last Row for Column E
vRowCount = Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).row
'Assuming Both Columns have the same row count and you have a header row
For vRow = 2 To vRowCount
WS.Cells(vRow, 5).Value = WS.Cells(vRow, 5).Value & " " & WS.Cells(vRow, 3).Value
Next vRow
End Sub

Autofill Dynamic Range Last Row and Last Column

I have a workbook containing multiple sheets of varying sizes. I want to add a total column after the last row and copy the formula across all columns. I have defined the last row and column and the formula appears as expected in the correct place but I receive an error when trying to fill across. How do I correctly reference both dynamic cells for the fill? I'm just using a single sheet for now for testing but will eventually be looping through all the sheets in the book.
Sub Addtotals()
Dim Bord As Worksheet
Dim LRow As Long
Dim LCol As Long
Dim frmcell As Range
Set Bord = Sheets("Borders")
With Bord
'--> Define last rows and columns
LRow = .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
LCol = .Range("A" & Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
'--> Add Total text to first column
.Range("A" & LRow).Offset(1, 0).Select
ActiveCell = "Total"
'--> Add formula to next column
Set frmcell = Range("B" & LRow + 1)
frmcell.Formula = "=sum(B2:B" & LRow & ")"
'--> Fill formula across range
frmcell.Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range(frmcell & LCol), Type:=xlFillDefault
End With
End Sub
Thanks :)
Like this?

'--> Fill formula across range
.Range("B" & LRow & ":" & _
Split(Cells(, LCol).Address, "$")(1) & LRow).Formula = _
