first of all, I have to thank every one who read this message and he try to help me.
its a complicated matter to me.
Actually, I received Excel workbook, and there are 88 worksheets, this data is very sensitive, such as SN, Part No, Item Name, ... etc.
He request from me to combine all sheets in one sheet.
i search in google to solve this task but I don't know how to start to find the result.
I think after Analyzing it needs:
1. When I tried to combine data it says: can't combine because there are merge cells. So, how can I unmerge all data at one time.
2. How can delete all empty columns and rows at one time.
I hope you understand and to fine the answer here or advice me if you don't mind.
Always happy to help someone who appreciates the effort!
I forgot to ask if you are familiair with using codes, so below you will find the code and below that an explanation of how to use it.
You should end up with a sheet named "Main", where all the data is assembled. I bolded and locked the header as well as autofitted the columns.
As for question 5, it is better to have all the data on a row for further data processing. For example, when you filter your data for Maker: Sony, you will want to see the data in the first 9 columns as well.
Here is the code:
Sub RunMe()
Dim sh As Worksheet, mHeader As Boolean, mR, sR As Long, mC, sC As Integer
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets.Add before:=Sheets(1)
ActiveSheet.Name = "Main"
mR = 2
With Sheets("Main")
For Each sh In Worksheets
sh.Select
If sh.Name <> "Main" Then
If mHeader = False Then
.Range("A1").Value = Range("A2").Value
.Range("B1").Value = Range("C2").Value
.Range("C1").Value = Range("E2").Value
.Range("D1").Value = Range("A4").Value
.Range("E1").Value = Range("C4").Value
.Range("F1").Value = Range("E4").Value
.Range("G1").Value = Range("A6").Value
.Range("H1").Value = Range("C6").Value
.Range("I1").Value = Range("E6").Value
.Range("J1").Value = Range("A9").Value
.Range("K1").Value = Range("C9").Value
.Range("L1").Value = Range("E9").Value
.Range("M1").Value = Range("G9").Value
mHeader = True
End If
.Range("A" & mR).Value = Range("A3").Value
.Range("B" & mR).Value = Range("C3").Value
.Range("C" & mR).Value = Range("E3").Value
.Range("D" & mR).Value = Range("A5").Value
.Range("E" & mR).Value = Range("C5").Value
.Range("F" & mR).Value = Range("E5").Value
.Range("G" & mR).Value = Range("A7").Value
.Range("H" & mR).Value = Range("C7").Value
.Range("I" & mR).Value = Range("E7").Value
.Select
Range(Cells(mR, "A"), Cells(mR, "I")).Copy .Range(Cells(mR + 1, "A"), Cells(mR + 6, "I"))
sR = 10
sC = 1
mC = 10
Do
Cells(mR, mC).Value = sh.Cells(sR, sC).Value
sC = sC + 2
mC = mC + 1
If sC = 9 Then
sR = sR + 1
sC = 1
mR = mR + 1
mC = 10
End If
Loop Until sR = 17
End If
Next sh
End With
Rows(1).Font.Bold = True
Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
Range("A2").Select
ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
How to implement and run a code:
- From Excel hit Alt + F11 to open the “Microsoft Visual Basic” window.
- Go to the top menu in the newly opened window > Insert > Module.
- Paste the code in the big white field.
- You can now close this window.
- Back at Excel, hit Alt + F8 to display the available macro’s.
- Double-click the macro you wish to run.
NOTE: macro’s cannot be reversed using the blue arrows. Always make sure you save your file (or create a back up to be entirely sure) before running a code, so you can re-open your file if something unforeseen happens or you want to go back to the situation before the code was run.
I am not that much good with codes, but I try to read and understand what is written
I appreciate your effort and time that I took for me. Did you know that with this code you saved me a lot of time that I will waste in collecting this information page by page I have to collect 7,425 sheets really it will take weeks or maybe months.
dear, I did some change in my table,
from 1-9 are perfect.
from 10-13 I make change on it.
the final picture is (all cells one Row from A1- AK2)
I understood the code steps from A1-A9 only :). however, the rest its bit hard.
I hope you get my idea in final clear picture.
it is possible to teach me how can I change the code whenever I want?
OR
you can do easy code for me to learn step by step.
The best and easiest way would be to use a VBA code. But for me to provide you one, I will need to understand your workbook and sheets setup.
Do all your sheets ALWAYS have:
1) Range A1:H7 for points 1 to 9?
2) Points 10 to 13 start on row 9?
3) 6 names (A10 to A15) or is this variable?
4) Are there any other sheets in your workbook that needs to be excluded from this combining action? If so, which are their names?
5) Your presented table of relocated data looks fine to me. Although, some people might want to put the data from A19 to I19 also in A20 to I24. Let me know what you want.
Hi Trowa,
many thanks to you for cute welcome msg.
Do all your sheets ALWAYS have: around 88 sheets in exactly same format
1) Range A1:H7 for points 1 to 9? ===============> "A1:G7"
2) Points 10 to 13 start on row 9? ===============> "YES"
3) 6 names (A10 to A15) or is this variable? =======> 7 names "A10:A16"
4) Are there any other sheets in your workbook that needs to be excluded from this combining action? If so, which are their names? ===============> "NO"
5) Your presented table of relocated data looks fine to me. Although, some people might want to put the data from A19 to I19 also in A20 to I24. Let me know what you want. ===============> "It's fine for me, you have more experience than me, I need your advice"
As per your request I adjusted the code. I added some text to hopefully help you understand what is going on. Let me know what is beyond your understanding, so I can explain further. Always happy to help someone getting to know VBA.
Here is the code:
Sub RunMeV2()
Dim sh As Worksheet, mHeader As Boolean, mR As Long, mC, sR, sC, x As Integer
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets.Add before:=Sheets(1)
ActiveSheet.Name = "Main"
mR = 1 'Main Row
mC = 1 'Main Column
sR = 2 'Sheet Row
sC = 1 'Sheet Column
x = 1 'Counter to add to the header of Sheets row 9
With Sheets("Main") 'Whenever a line starts a . we are referring to main sheet
For Each sh In Worksheets
sh.Select
If sh.Name <> "Main" Then
If mHeader = False Then
Do
.Cells(mR, mC).Value = Cells(sR, sC).Value 'Cells(row,column)
mC = mC + 1
sC = sC + 2
If sC = 7 Then
sC = 1
sR = sR + 2
End If
Loop Until mC = 10
sR = 9
Do
.Cells(mR, mC).Value = Cells(sR, sC).Value & x
mC = mC + 1
sC = sC + 2
If sC = 9 Then
sC = 1
x = x + 1
End If
Loop Until x = 8
mHeader = True
End If
mR = mR + 1
mC = 1
sR = 3
sC = 1
Do
.Cells(mR, mC).Value = Cells(sR, sC).Value
mC = mC + 1
sC = sC + 2
If sC = 7 Then
sR = sR + 2
sC = 1
End If
Loop Until mC = 10
sR = 10
sC = 1
mC = 10
Do
.Cells(mR, mC).Value = sh.Cells(sR, sC).Value
sC = sC + 2
mC = mC + 1
If sC = 9 Then
sR = sR + 1
sC = 1
End If
Loop Until sR = 17
mC = 10
End If
Next sh
.Select
End With
Rows(1).Font.Bold = True
Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
Range("A2").Select
ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I will try this and I will let you know.
Thank you
It's a nice code and it working very fine.
I am not that much good with codes, but I try to read and understand what is written
