How to copy specific cells from each row in another sheet if certain condition is met? - excel

So my problem is this. I have a workbook with lets say 2 sheets. I have automatically created sheet2 from another program and sheet1 where I would like only some of the information from sheet2.
I am now trying to create a macro that would check each row starting from 14 with the value in E% greater than 15. If the condition is met I would like the macro to copy cell value from C% and E% to sheet1 lets say in A5 and B5 and then proceed to next row in sheet2 pasting the valued to A6 B6 and so on.
Sub Test()
Dim rng As Range
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim cell As Variant
With Sheets("Sheet2")
lastRow = .Range("E" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = .Range("E14:E" & lastRow)
For Each cell In rng
If cell.Value > 15 Then
'And here is where it gets bugged. I know theres something wrong with the .select but I couldnt think of any other way to
'pick only just the 2 cells needed.
Range(cell.Offset(0, -1), cell.Offset(0, 0)).Select
Selection.Copy
'In here there should also be some code to select where to place the copyed
'data but since it already got bugged couldnt really find a solution for
'it..
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
End If
Next
End With
End Sub

so I guess i'll put it together:
Sub Test()
Dim rng As Range
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim cell As Variant
dim count as long
count = 0
With Sheets("Sheet2")
lastRow = .Range("E" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = .Range("E14:E" & lastRow)
For Each cell In rng
If cell.Value > 15 Then
'And here is where it gets bugged. I know theres something wrong with the .select but I couldnt think of any other way to
'pick only just the 2 cells needed.
Range(cell.Offset(0, -1), cell.Offset(0, 0)).Select
Selection.Copy
'maybe use: Range(cell.Offset(0, -1), cell.Offset(0, 0)).copy
'In here there should also be some code to select where to place the copyed
'data but since it already got bugged couldnt really find a solution for
'it..
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A5", B5).offset(count, 0).PasteSpecial 'this will make it so that it starts in a5, and moves down a row each time
count = count + 1 'dont forget to increment count
Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
End If
Next
End With
End Sub
and that's kinda a rough thing..
you might include some error handling like: if not cell.value = "" then or also if not isNumeric(cell.value) then and those together would ensure you're only processing non blank cells with numbers.

How can I repeat code through entire data?

I have written a few lines of code that work like I want them too but I don't know how to repeat it through all rows of my data.
This probably seems like a rather simple thing but since I started VBA just a few days ago I struggle with this line of code
If I continue with ActiveCell.Offset(-1,-4) after my code it's a bug and I don't know how to repeat the code through all rows.
Sub SelectRowsWithNoBlanks()
Range("A2").Select
If ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Value <> "" And ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1) <> "" And ActiveCell(0, 1) <> "" And ActiveCell(0, 1) <> "" Then
Range(ActiveCell, Cells(ActiveCell.Row, ActiveCell.Column + 4)).Select
End If
End Sub
#SiddharthRout As I don't have Access to the data yet I can't tell. But I thought extending the code for more columns later on wouldn't be a problem. So in the code I have written now I was checking for the columns A-D but I thought I could easily add the "checking" for more columns if needed – Anna von Blohn 43 secs ago
In that case, here is a sample code.
Logic
As #Pᴇʜ mentioned avoid the use of .Select. Work with the objects.
Find the last row and loop through the rows. To find the last you you may want to see This
One way (which I am using) is to count the number of cells which are filled using Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA. So if it is columns A to D then there should be 4 cells to be filled to consider the "row" as filled. Similarly for Cols A to E, there should be 5 cells to be filled to consider the "row" as filled as so on.
Code
I have commented the code. So if you have a problem understanding it, let me know.
Option Explicit
Sub SelectRowsWithNoBlanks()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim lRow As Long, i As Long
Dim myRange As Range, rng As Range
'~~> Change this to the relevant sheet
Set ws = Sheet1
With ws
'~~> Find the last row in Col A
lRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'~~> Loop through the rows
For i = 2 To lRow
'~~> Change this as applicable
Set rng = .Range("A" & i & ":D" & i)
'~~> Check if the range is completely filled
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(rng) = rng.Columns.Count Then
'~~> Store the range in a range object
If myRange Is Nothing Then
Set myRange = rng
Else
Set myRange = Union(myRange, rng)
End If
End If
Next i
End With
'If Not myRange Is Nothing Then Debug.Print myRange.Address
'~~> Check if any filled rows were found
If Not myRange Is Nothing Then
With myRange
'
'~~> Do what you want with the range
'
End With
Else
MsgBox "No filled rows were found"
End If
End Sub

Excel VBA: Delete rows if value not equal to a value?

So I've been searching hard to find why my code hasn't been working, but every time I try, I get a result where nothing is changed. Can someone please tell me what I'm missing? Sorry, I'm a total novice but I'm trying.
Dim Cell As Range
With Sheets(1)
' loop column D until last cell with value (not entire column)
For Each Cell In .Range("D2:D" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row)
If Cell.Value <> 110 Then
Rows(Cell.Row).EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next Cell
End With
Instead of looping, make use of excels inbuilt functions, its cleaner and more concise.
With Sheets(1).UsedRange
.AutoFilter Field:=4, Criteria1:="<>110"
.Offset(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Delete
.AutoFilter
End With
if you insist on looping then use the following code:
With Sheets(1).UsedRange
For lrow = .Rows.Count To 2 Step -1
If .Cells(lrow, 4).Value <> 110 Then .Rows(lrow).Delete
Next lrow
End With
Untested, but maybe something like:
Option explicit
Sub DeleteRows()
With thisworkbook.worksheets(1)
' loop column D until last cell with value (not entire column)
Dim lastRow as long
lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row
Dim rowIndex as long
For rowIndex = lastRow to 2 step -1
If .cells(rowIndex, "D").value2 <> 110 then
.cells(rowIndex, "D").entirerow.delete
End if
Next rowIndex
End With
End sub
If you have a lot of rows, you could use union to build a range consisting of all rows to be deleted, then delete them in one go.

Transferring rows into another sheet

I am trying to transfer two rows of Sheet1 (randomly and based on certain criteria) into Sheet3.
The values in cells "P2" and "P5" indicate the row number to be transferred, and column "A" has row numbers.
There's no possibility that values in "P2" and "P5" could match multiple rows in column "A". They should match 1 row each, so only one row should be copied per "P2" and "P5". Yet, sometimes I see multiple rows getting copied.
Below is the code:
Sub copyrows()
Dim tfRow As Range, cell As Object
Set tfRow = Range("A1:A") 'Range which includes the values
For Each cell In tfRow
If IsEmpty(cell) Then
Exit Sub
End If
If cell.Value = Range("P2").Value Then
cell.EntireRow.Copy
Sheet3.Select 'Target sheet
ActiveSheet.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Select
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
Next
End Sub
Sub copyrows2()
Dim tfRow2 As Range, cell As Object
Set tfRow2 = Range("A1:A") 'Range which includes the values
For Each cell In tfRow2
If IsEmpty(cell) Then
Exit Sub
End If
If cell.Value = Range("P5").Value Then
cell.EntireRow.Copy
Sheet3.Select 'Target sheet
ActiveSheet.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Select
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
Next
End Sub
As #urdearboy mentioned in the commnets above, you need to add a row to your second A column range to avoid getting the error.
To merge two conditions, in your case add an Or to your If.
To run the code faster, don't Select and Activate different sheets, it takes a long time for the code to run. Instead, use a Range object, like CopyRng and every time the if criteria is ok, you add that cell to the range using the Union function.
Read HERE about the Union functionality.

Sub copyrows()
Dim Sht1 As Worksheet, Sht3 As Worksheet

VBA code in excel operates inconsistently with very simple code

I wrote some pretty simple VBA (excel macros) code to manage my audio licencing excel experience. The code is supposed to look through the excel sheet in column 3, look for any that have "AMC" in their column, and then copy and paste the row to sheet 2 and continue searching through entire excel document. This code is very simple and worked once right before it stopped working right. It only takes the very last AMC value and puts that on sheet 2 but not the other 5 rows that have AMC in their column 3 value.
Please help! I would appreciate it very much :)
-Jeremy
VBA Code:
Sub CommandButton1_Click()
a = Worksheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.Rows.Count
b = 0
For i = 2 To a
If Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 3).Value = "AMC" Then
Worksheets("Sheet1").Rows(i).Copy
Worksheets("Sheet2").Activate
' b = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
Worksheets("Sheet2").Cells(b + 1, 1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
End If
Next
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1).Select
End Sub
This should solve your problem :
If Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 3).Value = "AMC" Then
Worksheets("Sheet1").Rows(i).Copy
Worksheets("Sheet2").Activate
Worksheets("Sheet2").Cells(b + 1, 1).Select
b = b + 1
ActiveSheet.Paste
Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
End If
You could use Instr and Union.
Union is very efficient as you store all the qualifying ranges in memory and then write out only once to the sheet. Much less expensive operation than continually writing out to the sheet.
Instr allows you to use vbBinaryCompare which means you are doing a case sensitive match i.e. only AC not ac will be matched on.
The code belows avoids .Activate, which is again an expensive operation that isn't required.
UsedRange means you may be looping many more rows than required. You only want to loop to the last populated row in column C of sheet 1, as that is the column you are testing. Hence, I use .Cells(.Rows.Count, C").End(xlUp).Row to find that last row.
Use Option Explicit - research why! It will make your VBA life soooooo much better.
Code:
Option Explicit
Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim lastRow As Long, sSht As Worksheet, tSht As Worksheet, loopRange As Range
Set sSht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set tSht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2")
With sSht
Set loopRange = .Range("C2:C" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, C").End(xlUp).Row)
End With
Dim rng As Range, unionRng As Range
For Each rng In loopRange
If InStr(1, rng.Value, "AC", vbBinaryCompare) > 0 Then
If Not unionRng Is Nothing Then
Set unionRng = Union(unionRng, rng)
Else
Set unionRng = rng
End If
End If
Next rng
If Not unionRng Is Nothing Then unionRng.EntireRow.Copy tSht.Cells(1, 1)
End Sub

Excel VBA, How to select rows based on data in a column?

Sub SelectAllReleventText()
Do While Range(“A1”).Offset(1, 6) <> Empty
Rows(ActiveCell.Row).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
End Sub
Here is my script, I've been told it doesn't do what it is meant to, which I expected since this was my first attempt. I am coming up with a variable not defined error. I thought I defined the variable, but I guess it wasn't specific enough for Excel VBA.
This is what I am attempting to do.
In Workbook 1, On B6 there is an alphanumeric name, I want that row to be selected.
Go down one row, if there is text there select that row.
Continue till text is no longer prevalent.
Copy selected rows.
Paste into another workbook (Workbook2), into tab 1, starting on row 2, since row 1 has headers.
Thanks in advance. Just a heads up, I am using the Options Explicit in my VBA because I was told it was the "right way to do thing"...
Yes using Option Explicit is a good habit. Using .Select however is not :) it reduces the speed of the code. Also fully justify sheet names else the code will always run for the Activesheet which might not be what you actually wanted.
Is this what you are trying?
Option Explicit
Sub Sample()
Dim lastRow As Long, i As Long
Dim CopyRange As Range
'~~> Change Sheet1 to relevant sheet name
With Sheets("Sheet1")
lastRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To lastRow
If Len(Trim(.Range("A" & i).Value)) <> 0 Then
If CopyRange Is Nothing Then
Set CopyRange = .Rows(i)
Else
Set CopyRange = Union(CopyRange, .Rows(i))
End If
Else
Exit For
End If
Next
If Not CopyRange Is Nothing Then
'~~> Change Sheet2 to relevant sheet name
CopyRange.Copy Sheets("Sheet2").Rows(1)
End If
End With
End Sub
NOTE
If if you have data from Row 2 till Row 10 and row 11 is blank and then you have data again from Row 12 then the above code will only copy data from Row 2 till Row 10
If you want to copy all rows which have data then use this code.
Option Explicit
Sub Sample()
Dim lastRow As Long, i As Long
Dim CopyRange As Range
'~~> Change Sheet1 to relevant sheet name
With Sheets("Sheet1")
lastRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To lastRow
If Len(Trim(.Range("A" & i).Value)) <> 0 Then
If CopyRange Is Nothing Then
Set CopyRange = .Rows(i)
Else
Set CopyRange = Union(CopyRange, .Rows(i))
End If
End If
Next
If Not CopyRange Is Nothing Then
'~~> Change Sheet2 to relevant sheet name
CopyRange.Copy Sheets("Sheet2").Rows(1)
End If
End With
End Sub
Hope this is what you wanted?

The easiest way to do it is to use the End method, which is gives you the cell that you reach by pressing the end key and then a direction when you're on a cell (in this case B6). This won't give you what you expect if B6 or B7 is empty, though.
Dim start_cell As Range
Set start_cell = Range("[Workbook1.xlsx]Sheet1!B6")
Range(start_cell, start_cell.End(xlDown)).Copy Range("[Workbook2.xlsx]Sheet1!A2")
If you can't use End, then you would have to use a loop.
Dim start_cell As Range, end_cell As Range
Set start_cell = Range("[Workbook1.xlsx]Sheet1!B6")
Set end_cell = start_cell
Do Until IsEmpty(end_cell.Offset(1, 0))
Set end_cell = end_cell.Offset(1, 0)
Loop
Range(start_cell, end_cell).Copy Range("[Workbook2.xlsx]Sheet1!A2")
