loop

[Christina]

I need help with a loop. After looping through the procedure, when the
active cell is empty I want to exit the loop. Would you please give me the
codes to do that.


Thanks

Christina,

Post your loop and someone will help

Actually I would need it to Exit when there are no more cells with "Vendor ID"

Do

Range("F:F").Find(What:="Vendor ID", After:=ActiveCell,
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlDown, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveCell.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

Selection.Copy
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

Loop


Thanks

Hi,

Try this

Sub nn()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim MyRange As Range
LastRow = Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp).Row
Set MyRange = Range("F1:F" & LastRow)
For Each c In MyRange
If UCase(c.Value) = "VENDOR ID" Then c.ClearContents
Next
End Sub

Thanks. I am sorry I need step by step instruction. This Do Loop is part
of the macro. After the first part is run, then it moves into the LOOP.

So where do I put your codes. Do I start with DO, then copy your codes.

Sorry for more questions, I am very basic at this.

THanks

Christina.

Copy my code then go to your code and select all the lines from

Do

to

Loop

The pres and hold the CTRL key and tap V to paste my code over yours

When I copy the code it all comes up in red, ANd when I try to run it it
says
Compile Error
Expected End Sub


Thanks

Try something like the following:

Sub AAA()
Dim R As Range
Set R = ActiveCell
Do Until R.Value = vbNullString
Debug.Print "do something with R"
Set R = R(2, 1) ' move down
Loop
End Sub

Note that the Active Cell is not changed within the loop. ActiveCell
will point to the first cell during the entire looping process. You
use the R variable to access each cell within the loop. If you really
need to change which cell is active (it is almost never necessary),
use

R.Select

on a new line just below the Do Until line.

At the very end of the code you will need to enter this required item:

End Sub

Enter it just below the last red line of code. So you will have something
like this


Sub MyMacro()

'all the code you want including Mike H's.

End Sub

If you have say only two consecutive lines of code that are red after a copy
and paste, then it means the code line has wrapped and you need to have a
line break OR put all that line of code on a single line.

To fix a red line wrap, go to the end of the upper red line of code and from
at very end do a SPACE and then an _ (underscore) then arrow up or down off
the line. Usually that will correct it but sometimes the line of code will
wrap at a place that will NOT accept a line break. If that happens best to
just put it all in one line and live with it being way off the screen, OR
you can put it all on one line and try different parts of the line to put
the space and underscore and hit enter. If you pick a proper place then the
code will compile and all the red will go away. You may have to try a few
different spots, when it does not compile go to the end of the upper red
line and hit delete to bring the bottom line back in place. (May have to
hit delete several times to get rid of the large space created when it
wrapped.

Where do I put that , or what do I replace in my loo

My Do starts after some other functions, then DO......LOOP then End Sub for
the enture Macro. This is the loop:

Do
Range("F:F").Find(What:="Vendor ID", After:=ActiveCell,
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlDown, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveCell.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.Copy
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

Loop

The Data that needs to be copied is in the cell after the cell with Text
---Vendor Id.


Thanks

 

[Christina]

Please bear with me. I am so basic. Would you please make adjustments to this.
Do
Range("F:F").Find(What:="Vendor ID", After:=ActiveCell,
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlDown, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveCell.ClearContents
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.Copy
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

Loop

End Sub



Thanks

First, I wouldn't use this. I think there are not enough checks to make sure
that the data matches what you expect.

And I'm guessing that you expect that "vendor id" header cell, more than one
non-empty "detail" cell, a gap before the next header cell and more detail
cells.

I'd want to check that I had some non-empty details and make sure that there was
a gap between the header and the previous details.


But I _think_ that this does what your code did.

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim FoundCell As Range
Dim myCell As Range
Dim RngToFill As Range

Set wks = Worksheets("Sheet1")

With wks
Do
With .Range("F:f")
Set FoundCell = .Cells.Find(What:="Vendor ID", _
After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, _
SearchFormat:=False)
End With

If FoundCell Is Nothing Then
'done, get out
Exit Do
End If

Set myCell = FoundCell.Offset(1, 0)
Set RngToFill = .Range(myCell, myCell.End(xlDown))

FoundCell.ClearContents

myCell.Copy _
Destination:=RngToFill

Loop
End With

End Sub

But it still scares me!

Hi Christina,

I ain't figuring out what you want to do. If you want, send me a sample
workbook and detailed instructions of what you want to happen, where you
want it to happen and the such.

You have a lot of .Select in the code offered and you seldom need to select
stuff to get stuff done.

Remove the & charachters.

PLEASE help.

I have tried everything, and have not been able to get this to work. I
Would you please send me the codes that I need to replace the ones I have.
The one I have works, does the loop copies all the cells needed, but does not
end. I brings up a dialog box and I have to end it myself. I really would
need to finish this today.


Thanks

See my reply to send me a sample workbook, dated 2/18/201.

I need the vendor ID copied down so I sort the spreadsheet.
