Help please: Creating Macro to filter & copy Data

[kacey8]

Hi guys, first time poster so I hope you can help. I seldom use Excel anymore as I prefer to use Access for large quantity of data.


I have a spreadsheet I need some help with. this has columns begining with A to S (with data in it)

It has rows begining on row 5 and goes down to 85 but it gets bigger every day.

I want to create a macro with several phases

Phase 1 - Select the rows I specify, ie pop up box to decide on the rows
Phase 2 - Filter down and select the rows in this selection where coulmn K has a value (unselecting the rest)
Phase 3 - Copying Coulmns A, B, D, E, F, K, from the selection
Phase 4 - Pasting these coulmns into A, B, C, D, E, F, of the sheet the macro sits on


I hope this makes sense.

How do you propose copying 6 columns of data (A,B,D,E,F,K) and pasting 7 columns of data (A,B,C,D,E,F,G)?

[kacey8]

All done for you Alansidman....


As for the columns, this is a mistake and changed.

kacey;
Thanks for making the change. If you post a sample spreadsheet of your data, it will be easier to design and test a macro that will work for you. Here is how to upload a sample workbook.

Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

Remember to desensitize the data.

Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

Give this a try and see how it goes:

Okay, so I have run through and confirmed the desensitied information.

On the master sheet, the green cells is the "range" I want to copy, on the before is the results page before running it, and after is obviously after I have run it (basically it copys the cells and filters them if there is content in coulmn K.

The black cells is where I deleted the content for censoring (I highlighted it black to indicate there is data in the cells


The main point is whilst there are only 20 examples here, the number of rows will fluxuate and change, sometimes from 80 to 100 or even 200 etc

Hi,

Thanks for that. I am getting an error

"Can't find project or Library" and when I click ok, it opens "References and has a few items with ticks in them"

"Visual Basic for Applications"
"Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library"
"OLE Automation"
"MISSING: Microsoft Calender Control 8.0"

Tried unclicking the "Missing" reference but now I just get the error

"Cannot run the macro "Project - Desensities.xls'!Macroname'. The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled"

however, Macro Security is set to "Enable all macros" and I have "Trust access to the ABA orject object model" ticked as well.


EDIT: Nevermind, I think I fixed it myself

[kacey8]

Thank you so much, so the macro working but it is not picking up the entire range I select (it only gives me down to a certain limit so now I am working on the larger spreadsheet it only gives me the first 22 rows of data filtered down and anything post 22rows is ignored.

[stnkynts]

Hmm. I bet you have blank spaces in your selected range.

Yes Sir.... yes I did (although I can make there not be blanks (but if that works instead for the endRow I thank you so much.

[kacey8]

stnkynts,

You're amazing and that worked perfectly, now to make matters worse, some of the cells which we are filtering (Column K) have a 0.00 in there. I questioned whether a 0 value needed to be there but apparently they do, is there anyway though to stop these filtering through with the results? so basically 0.00 is NOT included in the copied cells.
