    Look at last 3 Columns in table

    Greetings,

    I am trying to create a code to look at the last 3 Columns of a table to match it with a criteria.

    Keep in mind that the Table will constantly get new columns and thus why I want it to look at last 3 column entries per Line.

    I am trying to build a aging workbook for devices connected/disconnected.

    So everyday we pul a report that staes if the devices is still "Online" or "Offline"

    currently I am doing this with formulas and it just seems to big for the requirements.

    Ignore your formula for now...what is it you are wanting to match...please explain in more detail...
    Good Luck
    I don't presume to know what I am doing, however, just like you, I too started somewhere...

    Hi Sintek,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I am trying to build logic as follow.

    If Last 3 Columns(Per Line) => 2 "Offline" then it should be "Offline" otherwise "Online".

    The criteria is not the difficulty but indeed to tell Excel to look at the last 3 Columns.

    I just need to try and get it in such way that th "3" is dynamic.

    Basically I want to use an "IF" (Last 3 Columns) Countif > 2 "Offline" then it must execute.

    Hope this helps.

    Trying to build a Aging Report.

    Re: Look at last 3 Columns in table

    SteynfaardtD...the logic might be easy for you to understand, but not for me...Hence explain in detail...
    So with the sample file you uploaded...The last 3 columns is GV:GX
    If Last 3 Columns(Per Line) => 2 "Offline" then it should be "Offline" otherwise "Online".
    This to me means if the "Offline" count in last three columns' row = or > 2 then...The value of said columns must be "Offline" otherwise "Online"
    This makes no sense to me...

    Are you not meaning the count of Offlines from Col A to the beginning of last 3 columns?

    Re: Look at last 3 Columns in table

    Okay let me try and explain otherwise.

    I will have a Table that will consists of daily entries. These Entries will be added to the end of the table.

    I need the formula/Script to ALWAYS look at the last "3"(Dynamic) entries made on the list and do the calculations thereof.

    So if the last 3 columns in the table indicates >1 "Offline" then my result must be Offline.

    It must only Count the last 3 columns that meets the criteria (in this case "Offline") and then based on the result give me an output.
    However the RANGE cannot indicate the actual Column as there will be columns added as the time passes.

    So basically it must do the same as the xlUp/xlDown fuction where it start from the right of the table, and 3 columns offset to the left.
    resulting in only cross referencing the LAST 3 Columns in the table to whatever the criteria might be.

    but i need a way to make the range Dynamic instead of indicating the actual Range.

    Re: Look at last 3 Columns in table

    Okay sweet.

    All I need is a way to replace the RANGE ("Table1[@[25/05/2021]:[27/05/2021]]") in such a way that the Range will always be the last 3 columns of a table.

    So regardless of the table having 100 or 10 columns. the RANGE must always be the LAST 3 COLUMNS

    What does your actual Table look like? The formula you've posted makes little sense in the context of the sample you posted earlier.

    Re: Look at last 3 Columns in table

    Hi Sintek,

    Thank you.

    please advise what the Debug.Print is?

    How can I test to see if this code can be used to determine the Range in another code.

    Re: Look at last 3 Columns in table

    It will make life so much easier if you could just explain in "layman's terms" step by step exactly what it is you are wanting to achieve...referring to sample file upload and show a expected result and how this expected result was derived...

    Re: Look at last 3 Columns in table

    As per my Code above. I need a way to get that code to utilize the last 3 Columns as "RANGE"

    I do not know how to better explain that,

    You Code was "Sub J3v16()"

    I need the ".Range(J3v13)" to refer to the last 3 columns in a Table

    I am trying to build a Aging Report for IP Connection Devices.
    Daily I test the connectivity and the results are then indicated as "Online"/"Offline"

    These results will be added daily to the end of "Table1" with the "Date" as header for that Column.

    I need a code to take a criteria "Online"/"Offline" (Criteria in this case) and Match/Count how many times it is present over the LAST 3 Days(Columns).
    The output in the sample is a msgbox but I will change the output once I am able to refrence the last 3 "Entries" to the Table but instead of an entry being Rows, it should be Columns.

    Same way as above,

    If I have to manually to the code it would be like this

    Now instead of saying "I", I need to know how the code method works to be able to utilize "lc" with offset of 2 to right.
