I am new to Excel VB. I'd like to compare a set of data from worksheet1 by meeting a set of multiple conditions/criteria's and then transfer this data to a pre-defined range in Worksheet2 all the while omitting columns of data that I don't need.
For Example: Worksheet1 contains the following data where I need data that meet the value "si" in column A and also value "d" and "m" in column B and then transfer the corresponding rows in Column A,C and E only to worksheet2.
A B C D E
si d o s xxxxxx
si d o 2 ddddd
pg d r x dddd
pg m r a sdfsdf
fj m w 3 ghghgh
fj d w f dssdg
si m x 1 sfsdfsd
si y x 1 hmhjkk
Worksheet2 has the pre-defined columns/range (A, C and E) to copy the data into. If this works I should have the following result as shown below.
A C E
si o xxxxxx
si o ddddd
si x sfsdfsd
Note that the predefined columns or ranges in worksheet2 should automatically expand and contract automatically according to the amount of data transferred into it.
Any method is fine as long as the out put in Worksheet 2 is archived.
Solution
The data in sheet 1 must have column headings in row 1. the sample sheet will be like this:
hdng1 hdng2 hdng3 hdng4 hdng5
si d o s xxxxxx
si d o 2 ddddd
pg d r x dddd
pg m r a sdfsdf
fj m w 3 ghghgh
fj d w f dssdg
si m x 1 sfsdfsd
si y x 1 hmhjkk
run this macro on this and see sheet 2
(always keep original file safely somewhere
the macro is
Sub test()
Worksheets("sheet2").Cells.Clear
Worksheets("sheet1").Activate
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="si"
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:="=d", Operator:=xlOr, _
Criteria2:="=m"
ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy
With Worksheets("Sheet2")
.Range("A1").PasteSpecial
.Range("B:B,D:D").Delete shift:=xlToLeft
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End With
Selection.AutoFilter
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
