In Excel, I need to be able to append a value to the latest cell of a column only if it doesn't exist.
Let's say we need to add a "Test" string to a column of words..
COL_WORDS
chair
car
Bus
Help
You mean, using VBA, you want to append a value to the end of a column if that value doesn't appear in the column (minus the header I would assume)? If so, this might help:
Sub AddIfNotDup(str As String)
Dim c As Range
Dim dupFound As Boolean
Dim lastRow As Long
dupFound = False
lastRow = Sheet1.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For Each c In Sheet1.Range("$A$2:$A$" & lastRow)
Debug.Print c.Value
If c.Value = str Then
dupFound = True
Exit For
End If
Next c
If dupFound = False Then
Cells(lastRow + 1, "A").Value = str
End If
End Sub
Sub test()
AddIfNotDup ("mob")
End Sub

I have some history working with VBA, but can't seem to find the solution to this problem. I found an iteration process to select a cell, do a process, and then select the next cell and do the process again, until NULL. I am having a problem outputting each of the processes solutions into the next column. Here is what I have:
Sub Name ()
Dim X As Integer
Dim MyString as String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
NumRows = Range("D2", Range("D2").End(xlDown)).Rows.Count
Range("D2").Select
For X = 1 To NumRows
MyString = ActiveCell.Value
MyString = Right(MyString, Len(MyString)-6)
Range("I2 to I#").Value = MyString
ActiveCell.Offset(1,0).Select
Next X
End Sub
Range("I2 to I#").Value = MyString is the line that I need help with. I need it to increment to I3, I4, I5, etc. until it reaches NumRows count.
When working with Cells the best way to loop through them is For Each Cell in Range so taking this and as comments told you to avoid selecting, this should help you:
Option Explicit
Sub Name()
Dim C As Range, MyRange As Range
Dim LastRow As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("MySheet") 'Change MySheet for your working sheet name
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row 'last row on column D
Set MyRange = .Range("D2:D" & LastRow) 'declare your working range
For Each C In MyRange
If Not C = vbNullString Then .Cells(C.Row, "I") = Right(C, Len(C) - 6)
Next C
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Another solution is Do Until. You could use this method if you dont have empty cells in the middle of your data.
Option Explicit
Sub Test()
Dim StartingPoint As Long
StartingPoint = 2 'Set the line to begin
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1") 'Set the worksheet
Do Until .Cells(StartingPoint, "D").Value = "" 'Repeat the process until you find empty cell
.Cells(StartingPoint, "I").Value = Right(.Cells(StartingPoint, "D").Value, Len(.Cells(StartingPoint, "D").Value) - 6)
StartingPoint = StartingPoint + 1
Loop
End With
End Sub
I am working on an Excel document using VBA. This document contains a database with multiple columns, but for simplicity, let's say I have 2 columns:
Column C corresponds to names
Column F corresponds to numbers.
I'm trying to create a macro that checks all the numbers in column F (with a loop). If the number is above 100, then check the adjacent cell in column C. If the name corresponds to a condition (let's say corresponds to John or Tom), then add the value of the number in another sheet. If none of those apply, check the next cell.
My problem is that I can't find a way to define the cells in column C (Creating a variable/object to call the cells or calling directly the adjacent cell).
My code looks like this:
Sub Test1()
Dim rngnumbers, rngnames, MultipleRange As Range
Set rngnumbers = Sheet2.Range("F2:F999")
Set rngnames = Sheet2.Range("C2:C999")
Set MultipleRange = Union(rngnumbers, rngnames)
For Each numb In rngnumbers
If numb.Value >= 100 Then
If Sheet2.Range("C2") = "John" Or Sheet2.Range("C2") = "Tom" Then '''The problem here is that it only looks at the cell C2 and not the adjacent cell
Sheet1.Range("I999").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = numb.Value
Else
End If
End If
Next numb
End Sub
I tried modifying the line:
'If Sheet2.Range("C2") = "John" Or Sheet2.Range("C2") = "Tom" Then'
to something like:
'newname.String = "John" '
But I can't find a way to define newname.
Another idea would be to increment the If statement for the names within the For loop.
Additional note:
I am also not using formulas directly within Excel as I don't want any blank cells or zeros when the if functions are False.
Does this solve your problem - referencing the relevant cell in column C? OFFSET provides a relative reference, in this case look 3 columns to the left of F.
Sub Test1()
Dim rngnumbers As Range, rngnames As Range, MultipleRange As Range, numb As Range
Set rngnumbers = Sheet2.Range("F2:F999")
Set rngnames = Sheet2.Range("C2:C999")
Set MultipleRange = Union(rngnumbers, rngnames)
For Each numb In rngnumbers
If numb.Value >= 100 Then
If numb.Offset(, -3) = "John" Or numb.Offset(, -3) = "Tom" Then
Sheet1.Range("I999").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = numb.Value
End If
End If
Next numb
End Sub
Have you considered SUMIFS instead?
You want something like this?
Sub Test1()
Dim lRow As Long, r As Long
lRow = 1000 'last row in your data
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("List with your data")
For i = 2 To lRow
If ws.Range("F" & i) > 100 Then
If ws.Range("C" & i).Value = "John" Or ws.Range("C" & i).Value = "Tom" Then
Worksheets("Another sheet sheet").Range("A" & r) = Range("C" & i).Value ' r - Row, where we want to enter uor text
r = r + 1 'if you want to put next name on the next row
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
Two Ifs in a Loop
Union Version
Option Explicit
Sub Test1()
Const cFirst As Integer = 2
Const cLast As Integer = 999
Const cCol1 As Variant = "F"
Const cCol2 As Variant = "C"
Const cCol3 As Variant = "I"
Dim i As Integer
Dim rngU As Range
With Sheet2
For i = cFirst To cLast
If IsNumeric(.Cells(i, cCol1)) And .Cells(i, cCol1) >= 100 Then
If .Cells(i, cCol2) = "John" _
Or .Cells(i, cCol2) = "Tom" Then
If Not rngU Is Nothing Then
Set rngU = Union(rngU, .Cells(i, cCol1))
Else
Set rngU = .Cells(i, cCol1)
End If
End If
End If
Next
End With
If Not rngU Is Nothing Then
rngU.Copy Sheet1.Cells(cLast, cCol3).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
Set rngU = Nothing
End If
End Sub
I normally work with arrays:
Sub Test1()
Dim rngnumbers As Excel.Range
Dim arrVals As variant
Dim lngRow As long
Arrvals = Sheet2.Range("C2:F999").value
For Lngrow = lbound(arrvals,1) to ubound(arrvals,1)
If arrvals(lngrow,4) >= 100 Then
If arrvals(lngrow,1)= "John" Or arrvals(lngrow,1) = "Tom" Then '''The problem here is that it only looks at the cell C2 and not the adjacent cell
Sheet1.Range("I999").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = arrvals(lngrow,4)
Else
End If
End If
Next lngrow
End Sub
Actually I would probably build an output array as well, but my thumb is tired...
I have data where I have many column headers. One of the header is "Text" and one other header is "Value Date". I want to combine the values contained in every row between these columns in another column row-wise.
The problem is the number of columns between these two headers is not constant. It changes with every new ledger I export. So I want my code to be dynamic in such a way that it will identify the column of "Text" and then it will identify the column of "Value Date" and combine everything between in another column row-wise.
This is where I have reached with my code but I don't know why it's not working. I have been trying this for last 3 days only to get nowhere. When I run this code, the result which I get is "TextColumnNo:ValueColumnNo".
Sub TextJoin()
Dim TextColumnNo As Range
Dim ValueColumnNo As Range
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Find("Text").Activate
Set TextColumnNo = Range(ActiveCell.Address(False, False))
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Find("Value").Activate
Set ValueColumnNo = Range(ActiveCell.Address(False, False))
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.TextJoin(" ", True, _
"TextColumnNo:ValueColumnNo")
ActiveCell.Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=ActiveCell.Range("A1:A8524")
ActiveCell.Range("A1:A8524").Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
You would need 2 loops for this. One looping through all rows and one looping through the columns to combine the text for each row.
Note that you need to adjust some things like sheet name and output column here.
Option Explicit
Public Sub TextJoin()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet1") 'define a worksheet
'find start
Dim FindStart As Range
Set FindStart = ws.Rows(1).Find("Text")
If FindStart Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "start not found"
Exit Sub
End If
'find end
Dim FindEnd As Range
Set FindEnd = ws.Rows(1).Find("Value Date")
If FindEnd Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "start not found"
Exit Sub
End If
'find last used row in column A
Dim lRow As Long
lRow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Dim iRow As Long
For iRow = 2 To lRow 'loop through all rows (2 to last used row)
Dim CombinedText As String
CombinedText = vbNullString 'initialize/reset variable
Dim iCol As Long 'loop through columns for each row (from start to end column)
For iCol = FindStart.Column To FindEnd.Column
CombinedText = CombinedText & ":" & ws.Cells(iRow, iCol).Text 'combine values
Next iCol
ws.Range("Z" & iRow) = CombinedText 'write values in column Z
Next iRow
End Sub
Sub TextJoin()
Dim ColRefText As Long
Dim ColRefValueDate As Long
Const firstcol = "Text"
Const secondcol = "Value Date"
Dim r As Range
Set r = Rows(1).Cells.Find(firstcol)
If Not r Is Nothing Then
ColRefText = r.Column
Set r = Rows(1).Cells.Find(secondcol)
If Not r Is Nothing Then
ColRefValueDate = r.Column
End If
End If
If ColRefValueDate + ColRefText > 0 Then
With Cells(2, Worksheets(1).Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, 1)
.Formula = Replace("=" & Cells(2, ColRefText).AddressLocal & "&" & Cells(2, ColRefValueDate).AddressLocal, "$", "")
.Copy Range(.Address, Cells(ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count, .Column).Address)
End With
End If
End Sub
I want to delete all rows in excel sheet if specific column value starts with 1.
For example, if range of A1:A having values starts with 1 then I want to delete all those rows using excel vba.
How to get it?
Dim c As Range
Dim SrchRng
Set SrchRng = Sheets("Output").UsedRange
Do
Set c = SrchRng.Find("For Men", LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then c.EntireRow.Delete
Loop While Not c Is Nothing
Here's the required code with comments on how it works. Feed the worksheet and column number to the sub and call it e.g. Delete Rows 2, Sheets("myWorksheet"):
Sub DeleteRows(columnNumber as Integer, ws as WorkSheet)
Dim x as long, lastRow as Long
' get the last used row
lastRow = ws.cells(1000000, columnNumber).end(xlUp).Row
'loop backwards from the last row and delete applicable rows
For x = lastRow to 1 Step -1
' if the cell starts with a number...
If IsNumeric(Left(ws.Cells(x, columnNumber), 1) Then
'Delete it the row if it's equaal to 1
If Left(ws.Cells(x, columnNumber), 1) = 1 Then ws.Rows(x &":"& x).Delete
End If
Next x
End Sub
Dim Value As String
Dim CellName As String
Dim RowNumber As Long
Do While Value <> ""
CellName = "A" + RowNumber
Value = ActiveSheet.Cells(GetRowNumber(CellName), GetColumnNumber(CellName)).Value
If Mid(Value, 1, 1) = "2" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("A" & RowNumber).EntireRow.Delete
End If
RowNumber = RowNumber + 1
Loop
Private Function GetColumnNumber(ByVal CellName As String) As Long
For L = 1 To 26
If Left(CellName, 1) = Chr(L + 64) Then
GetColumnNumber = L
Exit For
End If
Next
End Function
Private Function GetRowNumber(ByVal CellName As String) As Long
GetRowNumber = CLng(Mid(CellName, 2))
End Function
You may be pushing the bounds of what is reasonable to do in Excel vba.
Consider importing the Excel file into Microsoft Access.
Then, you can write 2 Delete Queries and they will run uber fast:
DELETE FROM MyTable WHERE col1 like '2*'
DELETE FROM MyTable WHERE col2 LIKE '*for men*' OR col3 LIKE '*for men*'
After deleting those records, you can export the data to a new Excel file.
Also, you can write an Access Macro to import the Excel File, run the Delete Queries, and Export the data back to Excel.
And you can do all of this without writing a line of VBA Code.
You can try:
Sub delete()
tamano = Range("J2") ' Value into J2
ifrom = 7 ' where you want to delete
'Borramos las celdas
'Delete column A , B and C
For i = ifrom To tamano
Range("A" & i).Value = ""
Range("B" & i).Value = ""
Range("C" & i).Value = ""
Next i
End Sub
How to check if a specific Column has Integer on each cell, and if it contains a string, Insert a blank cell to row in question.
Untested:
Dim row As Long
Dim col As Long
col = 4 ' Whatever column you want to check
For row = 1 To 100 ' How many rows you want to check
If Not IsNumeric(Cells(row, col).Value) Then
' Do whatever you want to do in this case
End If
Next row
If you clarify what you mean by "Insert a blank cell to row in question", I will try to update my solution.
You can check even check with a forumla that the column contains no none-numbers only
=COUNTBLANK(AAA:AAA)-COUNTBLANK(B:B)=COUNT(B:B)
where I assume that column AAA:AAA is empty.
A mix of the other answers for bigger data.
It first checks if the colomn has none Numbers only and if not, checks where.
Dim row As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row 'if you want the colomn B
If Excel.WorksheetFunction.CountBlank(Range("AAA:AAA")) - Excel.WorksheetFunction.CountBlank(Range("B:B")) = Excel.WorksheetFunction.Count(Range("B:B")) Then
For row = 1 To LastRow
If Not IsNumeric(Range("B" & row).Value) Then
' Do whatever you want to do in this case
End If
Next row
End if
Function IsInt(i As Variant) As Boolean
'checks if value i is an integer. returns True if it is and False if it isn't
IsInt = False
If IsNumeric(i) Then
If i = Int(i) Then
IsInt = True
End If
End If
End Function
Function IsString(s As Variant) As Boolean
'checks if variable s is a string, returs True if it is and False if not
IsString = True
If s = "" Then
IsString = False
Else
If IsNumeric(s) Then
IsString = False
End If
End If
End Function
Sub CheckInts(c As Integer)
'c = column number to check
'goes through all cells in column c and if integer ignores, if string sets to ""
Dim r, lastrow As Integer
lastrow = Sheet1.UsedRange.rows.Count 'find last row that contains data
For r = 1 To lastrow
If Not IsInt(Cells(r, c).Value) Then
If IsString(Cells(r, c).Value) Then
Cells(r, c).Value = ""
End If
End If
Next r
End Sub
then just call CheckInts passing in the column number you want to change
e.g. CheckInts(2) will change column 2
