Range to cells with xldown - excel

hey I have this part of code
Range("A2:BY2").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
I want to convert into Cells to have my code quicker
I tried this
With Worksheets("BLOTTER")
Set rng = .Range(.Cells(1, 2), .Cells(77, 2).End(xlDown))
End With
but doesnt seems to select the good range
Thank you

Not sure if this will help becuase I'm not sure I remember the end properly, but it doesn't appear you are using the right syntax with your set rng statement... try this:
Set rng = .Range(.Cells(1, 2).Address & ":" & .Cells(77, 2).End(xlDown).Address)
If I'm remembering properly, the range needs to be set as a string, or at least I always did it that way, and the .Address property returns the string name of the cell you referenced, e.g. .Cells(1, 2).Address returns "$A$2".

This will select the range you want, but using .Select should be avoided. Why do you want to select this range? A copy/paste? Formatting? You don't need to select the range for any of those operations.
Sub getRange()
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Range("A2:BY2")
rng.Select
End Sub

How to use Range with Variable in VBA [duplicate]

I want to select the formatted range of an Excel sheet.
To define the last and first row I use the following functions:
lastColumn = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Column - 1 + ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count
lastRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows(ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count).Row
In the next step I want to select this area:
Formula should look like this:
Range(cells(1, 1), cells(lastRow, lastColumn).Select
However, this is not working. Maybe somebody has an idea what is wrong with it. Thanks a lot!
I recorded a macro with 'Relative References' and this is what I got :
Range("F10").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 3).Range("A1:D11").Select
Heres what I thought : If the range selection is in quotes, VBA really wants a STRING and interprets the cells out of it so tried the following:
Dim MyRange as String
MyRange = "A1:D11"
Range(MyRange).Select
And it worked :) ie.. just create a string using your variables, make sure to dimension it as a STRING variables and Excel will read right off of it ;)
Following tested and found working :
Sub Macro04()
Dim Copyrange As String
Startrow = 1
Lastrow = 11
Copyrange = "A" & Startrow & ":D" & Lastrow
Range(Copyrange).Select
End Sub
I ran into something similar - I wanted to create a range based on some variables. Using the Worksheet.Cells did not work directly since I think the cell's values were passed to Range.
This did work though:
Range(Cells(1, 1).Address(), Cells(lastRow, lastColumn).Address()).Select
That took care of converting the cell's numerical location to what Range expects, which is the A1 format.
If you just want to select the used range, use
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select
If you want to select from A1 to the end of the used range, you can use the SpecialCells method like this
With ActiveSheet
.Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell)).Select
End With
Sometimes Excel gets confused on what is the last cell. It's never a smaller range than the actual used range, but it can be bigger if some cells were deleted. To avoid that, you can use Find and the asterisk wildcard to find the real last cell.
Dim rLastCell As Range
With Sheet1
Set rLastCell = .Cells.Find("*", .Cells(1, 1), xlValues, xlPart, , xlPrevious)
.Range(.Cells(1, 1), rLastCell).Select
End With
Finally, make sure you're only selecting if you really need to. Most of what you need to do in Excel VBA you can do directly to the Range rather than selecting it first. Instead of
.Range(.Cells(1, 1), rLastCell).Select
Selection.Font.Bold = True
You can
.Range(.Cells(1,1), rLastCells).Font.Bold = True
You're missing a close parenthesis, I.E. you aren't closing Range().
Try this Range(cells(1, 1), cells(lastRow, lastColumn)).Select
But you should really look at the other answer from Dick Kusleika for possible alternatives that may serve you better. Specifically, ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select which has the same end result as your code.
you are turning them into an address but Cells(#,#) uses integer inputs not address inputs so just use lastRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.count and lastColumn = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count
I tried using:
Range(cells(1, 1), cells(lastRow, lastColumn)).Select
where lastRow and lastColumn are integers, but received run-time error 1004. I'm using an older VB (6.5).
What did work was to use the following:
Range(Chr(64 + firstColumn) & firstRow & ":" & Chr(64 + lastColumn) & firstColumn).Select.

How to replace all values in a column by a specific value in Excel VBA?

Suppose this is my initial excel sheet
I want to replace all the non-empty cells in column C with the string "Title" excluding the column header.
The output should be like this:
Thank you!
Try below sub.
Sub FillTitle()
Dim lrow As Long
Dim rng As Range
lrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row 'Detect last data entry row in Column C.
For Each rng In Range("C2:C" & lrow)
If rng <> "" Then
rng = "Title"
End If
Next rng
End Sub
Range has Replace method:
Sub ReplaceAll()
With ActiveSheet
Application.Intersect(.UsedRange, .UsedRange.Offset(1), .Columns("C")).Replace What:="*", Replacement:="Tester"
' reset Find/Replace pattern to default for further use
.Cells.Find What:="", LookIn:=xlFormulas, SearchOrder:=xlRows, LookAt:=xlPart, MatchCase:=False
End With
End Sub
For small table, just run a for loop:
for row=2 to something_large
if cells(row,col)<>"" then cells(row,col)="title"
next row
for large table, your best bet is to record a macro: create a filter on the column, filter to nonblank, select all rows, then paste to them. Once you have the macro, modify for general use.
You can choose not use loop as well by using a simple code line like below which will perform the same action.
Range("C2:C" & Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).Value = "Title"

Duplicate as Value only last row into adjacent column Excel

I'm creating a VBA application with some forms. When the data is inserted into the Table, Column A calculates a value with a formula. After that I need to copy the resulting value (like paste special, values only) into the adjacent Row
I just need to know how to select the last row everytime. I have tried with ActiveCell, Find, Range etc. but none are working
Selection.Copy
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Try this:
Selection.Copy
ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, ActiveCell.Column).End(xlUp).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
From a programming point of view, it's much better to define variables rather than using Selection, .select, or ActiveCell, etc... This code will place the cell you are looking for into the variable r, assuming the first header row (A1) is not empty. If you don't want to make any assumptions about the first or last row, see the last answer on this page. In the code below, this would mean replacing Set r = r.End(xlDown) with Set r = sh.Range("A:A").Find("*", Range("A1"), SearchDirection:=xlPrevious)
Option Explicit
Sub test()
Dim sh As Worksheet, r As Range
Set sh = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set r = sh.Range("A1")
Set r = r.End(xlDown)
r.Select 'remove after code has been tested and you know it works
End Sub
If you have more questions, just ask. There's a lot of help available to help you program in the proper way here on StackOverflow.
Thanks all,
I fixed it with help of both
LastValue = Range("Table1[Opportunity no.]").End(xlDown).Value
Set ws = Worksheets("Datos")
iRow = ws.Cells.Find(What:="*", SearchOrder:=xlRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, LookIn:=xlValues).Row
With ws
.Cells(iRow, 2).Value = LastValue
End With

vba copy and paste range value when two or more conditions are satisfied into the next empty cell

I'm very new to VBA and was hoping to get come clarification on a project. I've tried solving it with formulas but I need to still be able to enter information into cells and not have them filled with a lookup formula.
How I'm looking for it to preform is that if an object requires it to be shipped then the serial numbers and identifiers are copied and pasted in another table in the next blank row automatically.
Information divided into two tables
What I thought I needed was a segment in VBA that went like this:
Sub CopyCat()
If Range("J2") Like "*yes*" then
Range("G2:I2").copy
Range("A2:A10").end(xlup).offset(1).pasteSpecial xlpastevalues
If Range("J3") Like "*yes*" then
Range("G3:I3").copy
Range("A2:A10").end(xlup).offset(1).pasteSpecial xlpastevalues
End If
End If
End Sub
It does exactly what I ask it to do when it is only the first statement, when I add the second one to check if the next row satisfies the conditions and it does, then it places it in the same resulting cell as the first statement. If both are true I need them both to be displayed in table 1.
I'd love to take this as a learning opportunity so any information or direction you can point me in would be great! Thank you so much in advance!
I think Range("A2:A10").end(xlup) is equivalent to Range("A2").end(xlup) so will not change, but you don't want the A2 reference, you want to work up from the bottom. You will hit problems if you are going beyond A9. (Plus not sure you want nested Ifs.)
If Range("J2") Like "*yes*" Then
Range("G2:I2").Copy
Range("A10").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End If
If Range("J3") Like "*yes*" Then
Range("G3:I3").Copy
Range("A10").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End If
Or to add a loop and circumvent the copy/paste you could use something like this:
Sub CopyCat()
Dim r As Long
For r = 2 To Range("J" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
If Range("J" & r) Like "*yes*" Then
Range("A10").End(xlUp).Offset(1).Resize(, 3).Value = Range("G" & r).Resize(, 3).Value
End If
Next r
End Sub
You can also do this without VBA.
In A2, you can use this formula entered as an array formula with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER:
=INDEX($G$2:$G$4,SMALL(IF($J$2:$J$4="yes",ROW($J$2:$J$4)-ROW($J$2)+1),ROWS(J$2:J2)))
And in B2, you can put this and drag down/over from B2:D3:
=INDEX(H$2:H$4,MATCH($A2,$G$2:$G$4,0))
Finally, to hide the errors that show when there are no more matches, you can simply wrap both above formulas in IFERROR([formula above],"").
With autofilter
Sub copyRange()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim wsSource As Worksheet
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim filterRange As Range
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set wsSource = wb.Worksheets("Sheet2") 'change to sheet name containing delivery info
With wsSource
lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "G").End(xlUp).Row
Set filterRange = .Range("G1:K" & lastRow)
Dim copyRange As Range
Set copyRange = .Range("G2:K" & lastRow)
End With
Dim lastRowTarget As Long, nextTargetRow As Long
With filterRange
.AutoFilter
.AutoFilter Field:=4, Criteria1:="yes" 'change field to whichever is the field in the range containing your company names
lastRowTarget = wsSource.Cells(wsSource.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
nextRowTarget = lastRowTarget + 1
Union(wsSource.Range("G2:I" & lastRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible), wsSource.Range("K2:K" & lastRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)).Copy wsSource.Range("A" & nextRowTarget)
.AutoFilter
End With
End Sub
