It is a bother to modify a already created macro even it it is one's own.
I have given you another macro similar to one given before. 

Sub test()

Dim rng As Range, c As Range
Dim rng1 As Range, c1 As Range
Dim dest As Range, j As Integer, k As Integer
Worksheets("sheet2").Cells.Clear
With Worksheets("sheet1")
Set rng = Range(.Range("A2"), .Range("A2").End(xlDown))
j = WorksheetFunction.CountA(.Rows("1:1"))
'msgbox j
For Each c In rng
Set rng1 = Range(c.Offset(0, 1), .Cells(c.Row, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft))
'msgbox rng1.Address
For Each c1 In rng1

Set dest = Worksheets("sheet2").Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
'msgbox dest.Address
If c1 = "" Then GoTo line1
'dest.Offset(0, 0) = c
'dest.Offset(0, 1) = .Cells(1, c1.Column)
'dest.Offset(0, 2) = c1
dest = c
dest.Offset(0, 1) = c1
dest.Offset(0, 2) = .Cells(1, c1.Column)
line1:
Next c1

Next c
End With
With Worksheets("sheet2").Columns("c:c")
.NumberFormat = "dd-mmm-yy"
End With
End Sub

Hi Venkat..I understand that you asked to create a new thread but since my query is based on solution prvided in one of the above , I preferred to keep it in same thread.

This macro worked fpr a part of my need but I have 2 more things to handle in my Macro.

1st) rather than taking Input from User I have to take it from a cell in same row
2nd ) When coppying cells after taking value from last last copy for each row should be Bold.

Can we handle in this .

Many thanks
Report

FINALLY! this is the macro that I've been looking for. Thanks a lot! :)

Hi Venkat,

I am using your code but it only copies the first row but the next one. I need to copy each row down for 15 times and I have 900 rows in total. Could you please help me.

I have added two more rows to check my macro. This is in SHEET1 as follows

Start Date End Date Start Time End Time Group Sub Group Details Manager
9/23/2009 9/25/2009 10:00 AM 11:00 AM Class X section 1 Goes for preparation Teacher 1
9/27/2009 9/29/2009 10:00 AM 11:00 AM class xi section 1 xxxxxxx teacher 2
10/2/09 10/6/2009 10:00 AM 11:00 AM class xi section 1 xxxxxxx teacher 2

carefully type this in sheet1

copy this data in sheet 2 also from A1 to retrieve for rechecking
KEEP SHEET1 AS ACTIVE SHEET
now run this macro "test" and see whether you get what you want in sheet1.

if you want to recheck.
1. run the macro "undo"
and then
2. run the macro "test"(ALWAYS KEEPING SHEET 1 AS ACTIVE SHEET) 

Sub test()
Dim j As Integer, k As Integer, m As Integer, n As Integer
j = Range("a1").End(xlDown).Row
'j is hte lsst row
k = j
Do
If k = 1 Then Exit Do
m = Cells(k, "b") - Cells(k, "A")
'MsgBox m
'Range(Cells(k + 1, "A"), Cells(k + m, "A")).Select
Range(Cells(k + 1, "A"), Cells(k + m, "A")).EntireRow.Insert

For n = 1 To m
Cells(k, 1).EntireRow.Copy Cells(k + n, 1)
Next n

For n = 1 To m

Cells(k + n, 1) = Cells(k, 1) + n
Next n
k = k - 1
'MsgBox k
Loop
End Sub

Sub undo()
Worksheets("sheet1").Cells.Clear
Worksheets("sheet2").UsedRange.Copy Worksheets("sheet1").Range("A1")

End Sub

any bug post back. if ok confirm

Could you please help me with the following macro.

The following macro basically copies the entire row if the column B contains the value "1". But in my case, I would like to copy the entire row if a range of column (for ex: B via Z) contains the value "1". It would even be better, if the user could input a number/string and then if the column range from B via Z contains that specific string/number - it will automatically copy the entire row that contains that value in a new worksheet/xls file.
unquote

try this macro (here an input box will come up and you have to string or number to be searched)
one condition-there should not be a gap in the data 

Sub test()
Dim rr As Range, cr As Range, rc As Range, cc As Range, x
x = InputBox("type the relevant no. or string e.g. 45")
With Worksheets("sheet2")
.Cells.Clear
End With
With Worksheets("sheet1")
Set rr = Range(.Range("a2"), .Range("a2").End(xlDown))
For Each cr In rr
Set rc = Range(.Cells(cr.Row, 1), .Cells(cr.Row, 1).End(xlToRight))
Set cc = rc.Cells.Find(what:=x, lookat:=xlWhole)
If Not cc Is Nothing Then
cc.EntireRow.Copy
Worksheets("sheet2").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial
End If
Next cr
End With
Application.CutCopyMode = False

I was wondering if you could help me as well as it appears you have greatly assisted the previous individual. I am trying to copy an entire row from worksheet named "Gallagher" to another worksheet named "CURRENT" if column D (from Gallagher) contains the text "No". I have multiple worksheets within the workbook that I would like to link to the "CURRENT" worksheet if the column D contains the next "No" so ultimately would like the code to be able to recognize the last unused row/cell in "CURRENT" so when it pastes rows from the other worksheets, it will know where to begin pasting.

Thanks so much in advance!

Need help please. I am converting a Accounts receivable customers date file to our data format for our AR system. They have many columns of data from column A-P. Their customers account number is in column D. Here is the problem. They have multiple lines for each account number. They only write the address for the 1st account number. If the next line is the same account number then they don't move the customers name address into the fields they leave it blank until the account number is different. Our system requires the data to be in all fields. So if the account number in column D is 76883 and the next line contains the same account number 76883 then all the name and address fields are blank. So if the account number is the same then I need to copy the customer name (column F), customer addr1 (column G), addr2 (column H), addr3 (column I) into the next line for the entire data file. Here is the if statement defination. IF DI = DI+1 then copy FI to FI +1, GI to GI+1, HI TO HI +1. My problem is I don't know how to make it generic to copy each line and figure out a macro. Please help!

Aces... with minor tweaking for my 'real' document, it WORKS great, and I understand 50% of how it works :)


There is one last ‘need’ for my Enterprise upload... the DATE found in and across “Row 1, ‘$A$2:$A*’”

I need the macro to take the Rawdata, which is the forecast in cross tabular form (see below)
Rawdata:
ColA ColB ColC ColD

Item 6/1/2009 7/1/2009 8/1/2009
Part 1 50 55 6
Part 2 1 5 10



and produce the following results:
sheet2:
ColA ColB ColC

Part 1 39965 6/1/2009
Part 1 39995 7/1/2009
Part 1 40026 8/1/2009
Part 2 39965 6/1/2009
Part 2 39995 7/1/2009
Part 2 40026 8/1/2009


With what you provided me (THANK YOU SO MUCH) I am able to create ColA & ColB.
If I need to, I am able to copy & paste special ("transpose") the date range from the Rawdata. Unfortunately, when I have hundreds of parts it is just a little time consuming… so if the action can be incorporated into the macro, it would make my job go even faster.

Thank you again. Just so you don't think I am a leach wasting your talent, I have already signed up for Tutorial Excel & Access lessons with our Microsoft IS/IT package. Being able to do what you created will definitely make me more valuable.

I apologize, I miss typed in my sample/request above....



I need the additional macro lines to take the Rawdata, which is the forecast in cross tabular form (see below)

Item 6/1/2009 7/1/2009 8/1/2009
Part 1 50 55 6
Part 2 1 5 10

("Item", "6/1/2009", "7/1/2009, "8/1/2009" are headers)


and produce the following results:
sheet2:
ColA ColB ColC

Part 1 50 6/1/2009
Part 1 55 7/1/2009
Part 1 6 8/1/2009
Part 2 1 6/1/2009
Part 2 5 7/1/2009
Part 2 10 8/1/2009



As my lack of knowledge regarding macros is abundant, perhaps this is an entirely different macro than the first you provided. No matter what, I appreciate your guidence and effort!

suppose your data is like this from A1 down and right in sheet1

hdng1 hdng2 hdng3
Code1 Description 1
Code2 Description 2
Code3 Description 3

copy data in sheet1 to sheet 3
WHEN YOU FINALLY USE THIs macro IN YOUR ORIGINAL FILE PLEASE KEEP A COPY SAFELY SOMEWHERE.
In the macro there is a staemnt
m=3
you can change it if you want (but first test the macro as it is )


The macro is 

Sub test()
Dim j As Integer, k As Integer
Dim m As Integer
m = 3
Worksheets("sheet1").Cells.Clear
Worksheets("sheet3").Cells.Copy
Worksheets("sheet1").Range("A1").PasteSpecial
Worksheets("sheet1").Activate

j = Range("a1").End(xlDown).Row
For k = j To 2 Step -1
Range(Cells(k + 1, 1), Cells(k + m - 1, 1)).EntireRow.Insert
Cells(k, 1).EntireRow.Copy
Range(Cells(k + 1, 1), Cells(k + m - 1, 1)).PasteSpecial
Next k
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("A1").Select
End Sub

Thanks for the fix! It worked perfectly and saved me hours. I really appreciate it.

Venkat,

it works great, but only for the first row, after that, it doesn't pick up the second row, and copy down n times. Is there a way to loop through until all originals rows are copied/pasted n times?

I love the way VB works, I just wish I could program using it. Thank you so much for all your help.

it works in my case. do an experiment open a new workbook.
type a in a1 and s in A2 and d in a3 and f in a4. now copy paste my macro in this workbook's vb editor and then run the macro . in the inptbox type for example 3 . Do you not get what you want . that is a repated 3 tiems, s repeated 3 times etc.



Then you can find out what is the problem in your workbook

s
d

Hi Venkat,

The macro works great to duplicate each row with the same nth times but is there anyway I can copy each row and paste different "nth" times.

For example.

I'd like date in A1 to be pasted 5 times.. whereas A2 to be pasted 3 times depending on the number I input.

I'd appreciate if you could help with this issue,

2. open vb editor (alt+F11)
3.control+R
4.in the left side window highlight your file name
5. click insert(in the menu bar of vb editor)-module
6.there you copy paste the macro
7. save teh file
8. now you run the macro( I am sure you know how to do it)

Most impressive, I am NOT a programmer, but I do know excel (not VBA)...

My issue, if you can assist is very similar ... I have data like this:
Col A Col B
100 12,13,14
101 23,24

Which needs to look like this

Col A Col B
100 12
100 13
100 14
101 23
101 24

If you could assist with one of your great macros ... I would be very grateful!!

I have a problem that might be similar to the history in this forum entry.


I create a forecast for parts in a cross tabular format (example below)
ColA ColB ColC ColD ColE

Part 1 Month1 Month2 Month3 Month4
Part 2 Month1 Month2 Month3 Month4
Part 2 Month1 Month2 Month3 Month4



To load the forecast into my Enterprise software program, I need the data to be tabular:
ColA ColB

Part 1 Month1
Part 1 Month2
Part 1 Month3
Part 1 Month4
Part 2 Month1
Part 2 Month2
Part 2 Month3
Part 2 Month4
Part 3 Month1
Part 3 Month2
Part 3 Month3
Part 3 Month4
Part 4 Month1
Part 4 Month2
Part 4 Month3
Part 4 Month4


The number of "parts" varies month to month; I would like to define it when the macro first runs. In my example, there were 4 parts.

Most of the time I create a forecast for '12 months' but it would be more useful to also define the date range when the macro runs. In my example, there were just 4 months.


Finally, I would prefer that the macro paste the data in a 'new worksheet' (rather than over write my forecast data worksheet).



Any help would be of immense use. Thank you!

Hi Venkat,

Just following your thread there about copying and inserting rows as per a condition. Sorry to innundate you with similar questions, but I have a similar problem to solve but with a slight twist and that is

I need the macro to work out the interval between two dates (start & End date) which I input and then accordingly duplicate the record that many times so lets

the number of days between 23/09 and 25/09 is 3 (inclusive of 25th) the I need the macro to first copy and insert three rows of the same data lets say which is on row 16, except that the start date on each of those 3 rows changes until it is equal to the end date.

It's a bit of twister for me as a complete newbie, I have been getting along all this while recording macros, but this one will not take a mouse click for an answer. Any help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

yes row 16 will contain both start and end dates.
The input for both is coming through a combo box in a form

This will be the 1st row of records I keep inserting rows to add more data. 
Start Date End Date Start Time End Time Group Sub Group Details Manager
23-09-09 25-09-09 10:00 AM 11:00 AM Class X section 1 Goes for preparation Teacher 1


So in this case when a button is clicked I would need the final rows to look something like this 

Start Date  End Date  Start Time  End Time  Group  Sub Group  Details  Manager
23-09-09  25-09-09  10:00 AM  11:00 AM  Class X   section A  preparation  Teacher 1
24-09-09  25-09-09  10:00 AM  11:00 AM  Class X   section A  preparation  Teacher 1
24-09-09  25-09-09  10:00 AM  11:00 AM  Class X   section A  preparation  Teacher 1


with the change being that the start dates will increment and show +1 day until it becomes equal to the end date.

Thanks again

Answer 17 / 22

I'm trying to do something very similar but MUCH simpler I think.

I would like to use cell A1 to put text into, Cell B1 to put the n number of times to repeat cell A1, and have the output added to column C

For example: 
ColA      ColB      ColC
A1 text   5         A1 text
                        A1 text
                        A1 text
                        A1 text
                        A1 text


Then you leave Col C alone and clear out A and B. Put in new input to get the following for example:

ColA ColB ColC
A1new 7 A1 text
A1 text
A1 text
A1 text
A1 text
A1new
A1new
A1new
A1new
A1new
A1new
A1new
</code>

You can keep using it to create one big long column of entries. I'd gladly send someone some $$ via paypal for the help if it's done in the next few hours.
Report

Last one got messed up, here's how it would look... 

ColA     ColB       ColC
A1new     7       A1 text
                  A1 text
                  A1 text
                  A1 text
                  A1 text 
                  A1new
                  A1new
                  A1new

your second message is confusing

the data is in A1 to B2 is

a1 new 7

now run this macro 

Sub test()
Dim x As Integer, r As Range, r1 As Range, c As Range
Dim dest As Range
Set r = Range(Range("A1"), Range("A1").End(xlDown))
For Each c In r
x = Cells(c.Row, "B").Value
Set dest = Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)

Set r1 = Range(dest, dest.Offset(x - 1, 0))
r1.FormulaArray = c.Value
Next c
Range(Range("c2"), Range("c2").End(xlDown)).Cut Range("c1")
End Sub


the result will be

A1 text 5 A1 text
a1 new 7 A1 text
A1 text
A1 text
A1 text
a1 new
a1 new
a1 new
a1 new
a1 new
a1 new
a1 new

The example for:

the data is in A1 to B2 is

A1 text 5
a1 new 7

now run this macro

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

This macro is great! Is there anyway to make it for multiple columns and possibly compile on a new page?

So

A B C
Test1 Test2 2
Test3 Test4 3


Can this output on columns E-D or A-B on new sheet:

A B
Test1 Test2
Test1 Test2
Test3 Test4
Test3 Test4
Test3 Test4


Thanks for your help!

I would really like to use this - it's exactly what I'm trying to do (putting the results onto a new page). But I keep getting errors. Any ideas? I need to paste the value in column A the # of times listed in Column B into Sheet2

the thread has become too long and dated also. for the next problem start a new thread

the data base is like this

hdng1 hdng2 hdng3
Test1 Test2 2
Test3 Test4 3

copy this data in sheet 3----IMPORTANT
WHEN YOU WANT TO RUN THE MACRO TO YOUR ORIGINAL FILE KEEP A COPY SAFELY SOMEWHERE SO THAT IF THERE IS A MESS UP THE ORIGINAL DATA CAN BE RETRIEVED

the macro is 

Sub test()
Dim r As Range, c As Range, j As Long, k As Long, m As Long
Worksheets("sheet1").Cells.Clear
Worksheets("sheet3").Cells.Copy Worksheets("sheet1").Range("A1")
Worksheets("sheet1").Activate
Set r = Range(Range("A2"), Range("B2").End(xlDown))
j = Range("A2").End(xlDown).Row
'j is last row
For k = j To 2 Step -1
m = Cells(k, "C")
'MsgBox m
Range(Cells(k + 1, "A"), Cells(k + m - 1, "A")).EntireRow.Insert
Range(Cells(k, "A"), Cells(k, "B")).Copy
Range(Cells(k, "D"), Cells(k + m - 1, "d")).PasteSpecial
Next k
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("A1").Select
End Sub

venkat1926,

The macro you provided below is really close to what I need.

Sub test()
Dim n As Integer, rng As Range
n = InputBox("type the value of n")
Set rng = Range("a1")
rng.Select
line2:
Range(rng.Offset(1, 0), rng.Offset(3, 0)).EntireRow.Insert
Range(rng, rng.End(xlToRight)).Copy
Range(rng, rng.Offset(n, 0)).PasteSpecial
Set rng = rng.Offset(n + 1, 0)
If rng = "" Then
GoTo line1
Else
GoTo line2
End If
line1:
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("a1").Select
MsgBox "macro over"
End Sub


My data is formatted a little differently I think. My data is currently provided as:

Code1 Description 1
Code2 Description 2
Code3 Description 3

What I need is to insert and copy each row x number of times as shown (example showing three rows):

Code1 Description 1
Code1 Description 1
Code1 Description 1
Code2 Description 2
Code2 Description 2
Code2 Description 2
Code3 Description 3
Code3 Description 3
Code3 Description 3

The macro you provided gives me:

Code1 Description 1
Code1 Description 1
Code1 Description 1

Then it ends. Is there a way for it to loop through all rows?

Thanks in advance. Macros are totally new for me and I'm looking at manual cut/paste this weekend if I can't figure this out.

Thanks!
