    Countif result in variable

    Hi,

    Long time I haven't done macros, seems I'm a bit rusty.
    I'm sure this is a simple fix, but just can't find it, so hope you can help.

    I would like the result of my countif to be used as a variable later on in the macro see below.

    x is the number of time I have "yes" in my column F in my worksheet "milestones and duration".
    I can tell you the result is 7.

    I want then use that result, 7, in the loop, so instead of saying for i = 1 to 7, I'd like to say for i = 1 to x

    Excel returns Type mismatch error
    It also returns error when I try to use x in the activecell.offset

    I will then have a "bigger" loop to repeat the "small" loop y times, but that's the next step, I'm not there yet, just trying to fix the first issue

    Is it because I didn't declare x properly?

    Try something like this.

    Your copy\paste loop isn't quite right, but I don't follow what you want done.
    Surround your VBA code with CODE tags e.g.;
    [CODE]your VBA code here[/CODE]
    The # button in the forum editor will apply CODE tags around your selected text.

    Hi,

    Waou that was fast !! Thanks, worked like a charm.

    Yeah, the copy/past thing wasn't quite right, I changed a little but there is still something I don't get:

    I want the 7 cells (from Q2 to Q8) to be copied and pasted and repeat this x time (so 7 in my case).
    So that's what I say:

    Select the 7 cells
    Copy them
    move the active cell at the botom of the 7 cells
    past
    and do it again 7 times

    with the below macro, it only does it 5 times

    Any hints?

    This is still confusing.

    Do you want to paste to Q9:Q15 then Q16:Q22 then Q23:Q29...etc. x times?

    Hi,

    Yes, you got it.
    I tried to exclude the "copy" piece from the loop, and only have the "past and activecell.offset", but know it only do it 3 times instead of 7...
