Hello,

I could sure use some help on a Macro.

I need to copy the value in E1 and paste down to all cells in column E (E2 to E??)

The issue is - the number of rows will change.

One time it might need to copy down 5 times. Another it might need to copy down 40 times.

I would also need it to do nothing if there is only 1 row (Nothing to copy if the source is the only row!!)

I case it matter you - I would repeat the exact process for Column F. Copy F1 and paste down to all cells in column F (F2 to F??).

We can NOT copy the row as the information in A to D must not be manipulated.

Thank you very much for your time!
Jeanine

Hi Jusip16,

As per your sample data, the following code will do as requested.
The result will be placed in a second sheet. First sheet is called Sheet1 and the second sheet is called Sheet2. Either name your sheets like that or find those sheet references in the code and change them to match your (easily done by selecting entire code [CTRL+a] and use the find/replace window [CTRL+h]).

Here is the code: 
Sub RunMe()
Dim x, lRow As Integer

lRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
x = 1
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
With Sheets("Sheet2")
    Do
        x = x + 1
        If Cells(x, "C").Value <> vbNullString Then
            .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(x, "A")
            .Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(x, "B")
            .Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) = Cells(1, "C").Value
            .Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) = Cells(x, "C").Value
        End If
        If Cells(x, "D").Value <> vbNullString Then
            .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(x, "A")
            .Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(x, "B")
            .Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0) = Cells(1, "D").Value

hi Trowa,

I am searching for a code that will copy a number 80 times down a column, then move on to the next number and copy that number down 80x.

My inputs are a list (it will change every week) of numbers:
1
3
4
78
98
108

I wish to put these numbers in a column beside it,but repeating the numbers 80 times.

Output:
1
1
1
1
(76 more 1's down)
3
3
3
3
(76 more 3's down)

thank you for any help!

Hi dm,

Assuming your data is located in column A, then the following code will place the result in column B: 
Sub RunMe()
Dim x, y As Integer
x = 1
For Each cell In Range("A1", Range("A1").End(xlDown))
    For y = 1 To 80
        Range("B" & x).Value = cell.Value
        x = x + 1
    Next y
Next cell
End Sub

Hi!

It is always so hard to describe things. What was clear in my mind - is obviously not clear to another!

If I can get this to work - this macro will actually be in the middle of a much larger macro that actually works (except this one important step)!

Sheet 1 has data. What shows up on Sheet 1 is a result of some look ups. Not part of a Macro at all. It is dog information. Name and Owner (and a few other bits). So the user keys in a number and up pops all the information from the database about that dog. How many lines pop up could be 1 or any number up to about 250.

The Macro I have copies these lines to another sheet. Sheet 2. Sheet 2 will have columns A to G. And as I said - an undetermined number of lines. As many lines as there are records for the dog in the database.

Sheet 2 only has the lines copied from Sheet 1. Meaning there are no lines with spaces or blanks. Only the results from page 1 are on page 2. They get copied in by my Macro.

So now we are on sheet 2. Lets for my example say we copied in 11 rows.

I need the value in E1 and F1 to be copied down 10 times (11-1). So that all 11 rows have the same value in Column E and F.

The values in the other columns can not be change.

How many times do we have to copy? The same number of times as there are rows in sheet 2.

To illustrate. Below are the values in E and F only (example 4 rows)

Suzy John
Harry Max
Shevy Twinkle
Max Rover

The above is what came to sheet 2 via a copy.

I want the result to be:

Suzy John
Suzy John
Suzy John
Suzy John

Each time the Macro runs will have a different number of rows to copy down. And of course if there is only one row (which is possible!!) there is not need to copy anything as the correct information is in that row.

I hope this is a better explanation.

Thank you for your time!!

Hi Jeanine,

Things got a lot clearer!

Good to tell this is part of a code.
I don't know on which sheet you are when this part of the code is activated, so I started out with referring to the correct sheet.

Second, when only 1 row exists nothing should be done. Normally I would exit sub, but now the code will skip the autofill part and continue with the code.

So just make sure the variable lRow isn't used before and/or is ok to be changed and this code is safe to implement as part of your code (of course without the Sub and End Sub parts). 

Sub CopyValueDown()
Dim lRow As Integer

Sheets("Sheet 2").Select
lRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
If lRow = 1 Then GoTo NextPartOfCode
Range("E1:F1").AutoFill Destination:=Range("E1:F" & lRow)
NextPartOfCode:
End Sub


Good luck with your code and let me know if more assistance is desired.

Best regards,
Trowa

Trowa!!

This is great! It is almost perfect. Actually it was perfect until I just ran for the 14th time.

As it turns out there are some records where the last character in E1 has a #.

Such as:

Suzy3 John

When I use your code - if it says only Suzy John it works perfectly.

If it Says Suzy3 John it increments the last digit.

So I ended up with:

Suzy3 John
Suzy4 John
Suzy5 John
Suzy6 John

When I needed:

Suzy3 John
Suzy3 John
Suzy3 John
Suzy3 John

I am so sorry I didn't realize this might happen. The data has about 12K lines so I didn't notice that some records end with a number.

Is there a way to adjust for this oddity?

Thank you!

Hi Jeanine,

Change the line:
Range("E1:F1").AutoFill Destination:=Range("E1:F" & lRow)
into:
Range("E1:F1").AutoFill Destination:=Range("E1:F" & lRow), Type:=xlLinearTrend

This should prevent the numbers from going up.

Oddity solved, right?

Trowa

I have a very similar question. I am trying to do a sort of a burn. I need the cell value to be copied linearly across an x amount of rows, and the number or rows that it needs to be copied out lives in another table. How can this be done?

Hi Diddy,

The code below will take the x amount of rows to be copied from Sheet2 cell A1.
Then takes the value from Sheet1 cell A1 and copies it down the amount found in Sheet2 cell A1.

Here is the code: 
Sub RunMe()
Dim CopyX, x As Integer
CopyX = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("A1").Copy

Do
    x = x + 1
    Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial
Loop Until x = CopyX
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

Hi Sravan-kr,

"what if i want to do the same in columns please reply me as early as possible"

For that request try this: 
Sub RunMe()
Dim CopyX, x As Integer
CopyX = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("A1").Copy

Do
    x = x + 1
    Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(0, 1).PasteSpecial
Loop Until x = CopyX
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

"instead of copying can we run a macro "

What do you mean by this? By using the code you are running a macro.
What else do you want to do instead of copying? You want to cut instead of copy?

A confusing question.

Hi SriniPNV,

The following code will keep the format of your input data.

Here it is: 
Sub RunMe()
Dim x, y, z As Integer

x = Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

For y = x To 2 Step -1
    z = Cells(y, "D").Value - 1
    Do Until z = 0
        Rows(y).Copy
        Rows(y).Insert Shift:=xlDown
        z = z - 1
    Loop
Next y
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

Hi Trowa

Could you help me with a bit similar problem.

I have a sales report provided to me monthly that has the following details: product code, product name, year and month. The format looks like this

l2017 l2017l 2017 l
Code l Name l JAN l FEB l MAR l

I would like to transpose the data to this format using VBA or formulas so that I can do this automatically every month.

Code l Name l Year l Month l Amount l

Also, new product codes and product names are added every month in the report.

Thanks

Hi Robert,

Sure, must have slipped my attention.

Assuming a second sheet is created with header.
In the code the source sheet is called: Sheet1.
And the destination sheet is called: Sheet2.

Here is the code: 
Sub RunMe()
Dim mCol, mRow As Integer

Sheets("Sheet1").Select

For Each cell In Range("A2:A" & Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row)
    mRow = cell.Row
    mCol = 2
    Do
        mCol = mCol + 1
        If Cells(mRow, mCol) <> vbNullString Then
            Range(Cells(mRow, "A"), Cells(mRow, "B")).Copy _
            Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
            Cells(1, mCol).Copy Sheets("Sheet2").Cells(Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
            Cells(mRow, mCol).Copy Sheets("Sheet2").Cells(Rows.Count, 4).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
        End If
    Loop Until Cells(mRow, mCol) = vbNullString
Next cell
End Sub

Hi Trowa, I see you've helped some people already. I have a very similar task and hope you'll be able to help me as well.

I have a lot of unique rows in one column on tab "Pivot". For simplicity, let's take only three (A1:A3):
aaa
bbb
ccc

I need these values to repeat 14 times each one after the other on another tab "Results".
What code do I use? I used your initial code and modified it a bit:

Sub ToyNumber()
Dim toy, i As Integer
toy = 1
For Each cell In Range("A1", Range("A1").End(xlDown))
For y = 1 To 14
Range("B" & toy).Value = cell.Value
toy = toy + 1
Next i
Next cell
End Sub

I'm struggling how to get the output on a different tab (sheet). I'd appreciate your soonest assistance. Thank you.

One correction: should be i instead of y

Sub ToyNumber()
Dim toy, i As Integer
toy = 1
For Each cell In Range("A1", Range("A1").End(xlDown))
For i = 1 To 14
Range("B" & toy).Value = cell.Value
toy = toy + 1
Next i
Next cell
End Sub

In addition, I need values on sheet Results to start from cell A3, not A1, so that the first aaa will be in cell A3. I'm not sure how to modify this part: Range("B" & toy).Value = cell.Value.

Hi Tanya,

Here is the amended code: 
Sub ToyNumber()
Dim toy, i As Integer

toy = 3 'changed 1 to 3, to start pasting from row 3.

For Each cell In Range("A1", Range("A1").End(xlDown))
    For i = 1 To 14
        Sheets("Result").Range("A" & toy).Value = cell.Value 'reference to the Result sheet added, also changed B to A.
        toy = toy + 1
    Next i
Next cell
End Sub


That should do it, right?

Best regards,
Trowa

Hi TrowaD!

I am struggling with something similar to what has been described above.

I want to copy part of row (say A9:M9) and paste it down below (A10:M10, A11:M11 etc.) for the number of times specified by a cell value (e.g. the value of B4), which contains a row count function. Cells A9:M9 contain functions.


Would be greatful if you could help me, thanks.

Hi Annonyman,

Give the following code a try: 
Sub RunMe()
Dim x As Integer

x = Range("B4").Value

Range("A9:M9").AutoFill Destination:=Range("A9:M" & 9 + x)

End Sub


Best regards,
Trowa

Hello! My issue is a combination of some others. I'm trying to have multiple columns copy/paste based on a number entered.

So, a user would enter number X into A2. I would then want to copy/paste columns E:H next to each other X number of times. This seems to be a combo of what annonyman and Sravan-kr asked, but I keep getting thrown in the Do statement.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Syapinme,

Give the following code a try: 
Sub RunMe()
Dim x As Integer

x = Range("A2").Value

Do
    Columns("E:H").Copy
    Columns("E").Insert
    x = x - 1
Loop Until x = 0

Application.CutCopyMode = False

End Sub

Hi mfinley,

Is the entered name located in a cell or do you want Excel to ask you?
Is the x/y number of rows entered in a cell or do you want Excel to ask you?
Where do you want the names to be pasted?

Best regards,
Trowa

Hi Rahul,

Not sure if you are still stuck on this, but here is what I got for you: 
Sub RunMe()
Dim x, xRep, lRow As Integer
lRow = Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

For x = lRow To 1 Step -1
    xRep = Range("F" & x).Value
    Do Until xRep = 1
        With Rows(x)
            .Copy
            .Insert
        End With
        xRep = xRep - 1
    Loop
Next x

Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub


Best regards,
Trowa
