1) Don't copy column A to row 9.....

2) No to copy column A from row 71 to row 9

3) I am using a no dupe then a form asking what mix type to use. I was
going to paste the macro you figure out into the form so that it will run
when the mix type is selected. The form I am using is form 6. If you would
rather make something up and us that ....Fine. I just want this thing to
work and work correctly. Your the smart one here so I'll let you make the
decisions.......

You are really earning your keep working with me......aren't you sorry you
took this one. I really do appreciate everything you are doing for
me......Thanks a million....

1.If I recall correctly, you said you did not want to copy column A from the
lower part of the sheet to row nine, yet you are illustrating that column A
is to be copied, Can you clarify that part.

2.If you mean copy including column A but paste beginning in column B on row
9 then, your illustration is misleading. I need to know which is which.

3.And, how will VBA know which particular mix type you are looking for. I
can include an input box for the user to enter the mix type to copy, if
needed. Let me know.

4.Sorry if I am slow to catch on but as I try to write the code, these
questions pop up.


If we can get these details worked out, I think I understand the rest.

Ugggggg....What did you say?
1) The last four or less tests of the same mix type.

2) I need the earliest test on Row 9 and the latest tests below that. (No
reversing)
IE: Tests run on 1/3 will be on row 9....Tests run on 2/1 will be on row
10.....3/1 will be on row 11 etc......

Ok, we are getting there. One more clarification. Are you trying to get the
last four or less tests of the same mix type, or the last four or less tests
of any combination of mix types. If it is any combination, I think the code
will be fairly easy, but if you want to break it out by a specific mix type,
it can get hairy. Remember you want to reverse the order that they are
listed beginning in row 71 so the latest test shows on line 9. That was easy
enough with an array based on four rows, but now we are dealing with from 1
to four rows (assuming that if there are only 4 or less that they will lie on
rows 71 - 75) which number has to be determined first, then how to control
the copy and paste action so that the later date is on top of the earlier
date.
If the mix type has to be weeded out, it will require another manipultion to
isolate those items. So before I start I want to be sure exactly what we are
trying to identify and move.

let me try and help you with some information.....

1) All the information for each test is on sheets("test database"). Each
row represents one (1) test starting at column "A" over to column "AG". I am
copying only columns A through AD to sheets("last four"). The tests will go
from row 27 to 2500.

2) Each mix type (ie:4050, 4051,etc.) is listed in column B on the
sheets("test Database"). I use a no dupes to pick which mix type I need.
They are then posted over onto the sheets("last four") starting at row 71

3) On sheets("Test Database") the mix types are counted Range("BD27:BD54").
Cell ("BD56") sums up Range ("BD27:BD54").

I hope this helps you out.

This could take a while. The code will probably have to use a case statement
against the number of tests. I am wondering how I am going to know how many
tests there are. Do they begin on a certain row so that I could say:

If Range("B", StartRow & ":B" & lr4).Rows.Count < 4 Then
'Use the case statement
Else
'Use the code provided
End If

The examle you gave shows Row 71 as the starting row. Will this always be
the starting row?

JLGWhiz,
Good afternoon, it is just stopping and highlighting the line Set a. I did
put the name of the sheet in and yes you are correct...last four was the
name. Also, I didn't know if you would get this so I tried to explain a
little better what I am trying to accomplish. I hope it made a bit more
sense. Any sugestions would be grateful. Thank you

Hi Eric, the only thing that I can see in the code you posted is that you
left the worksheet name off. It should be Worksheets("last four") if my
memory serves me right, and sometimes it don't. <g

Are you getting any error message or does it just stop?

JGLWhiz or anyone else.....
I am running the following macro and it is stopping on Set a. I don't know
what is going on may be you all can help/

With Worksheets
lr4=.Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
lc4=.UsedRange.Columns.Count +1
Set a = .Range(.Cells(lr4,2),.Cells(lr4, lc4))
Set b = .Range(.Cells(lr4 -1, 2),.Cells(lr4 - 1, lc4))
Set c = .Range(.Cells(lr4 -2, 2),.Cells(lr4 -2, lc4))
Set d = .Range(.Cells(lr4 -3,2),.Cells(lr4 -3, lc4))
arr4=Array(a,b,c,d)
for i =0 to 3
arr4(i).copy
.Range("B" & i +9).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Next
End With
Application.cutcopyMode = False
End Sub

What I am trying to do is to copy and paste the last four (4) tests. If
there is only one (1) test then then it should post on row 9. If there are
two (2) tests then tests one (1) should post on row 9 and test two (2) on
row 10 and so on

Example Data Set.........

a b c d
71 4056 1/3/08 5 7
72 4056 1/3/08 5 8
73 4058 1/5/08 3 4
74 4056 1/6/08 2 6
75 4058 1/7/08 3 5
76 4056 1/9/08 6 7
77 4056 1/9/08 7 9

Example #1
Post last four (4) tests for 4056

a b c d
9 4056 1/3/08 5 7 ~~ This is test one (1)
10 4056 1/3/08 5 8 ~~ This is test two (2)
11 4056 1/6/08 2 6 ~~ This is test three from
data set for 4056
12 ~~ This is blank
because there are only
three (3)
tests for 4056

Example #2
Post last four (4) tests for 4058

a b c d
9 4058 1/5/08 3 4 ~~ Test one from data set for
4058
10 4058 1/7/08 3 5 ~~ Test two from data set
11 ~~ 11 and 12 left
blank because there isn't
12 four tests
(only two)

Example #3
Post last four (4) for 4058
For this there are five (5) tests for 4058 so test one (1) will be dropped.

a b c d
9 4056 1/3/08 5 8 ~~ from data set row 72 (71 was
dropped)
10 4056 1/6/08 2 6 ~~ row 74
11 4056 1/9/08 6 7 ~~ row 76
12 4056 1/9/08 7 9 ~~ row 77

Row 71 from data set was dropped because there were a total of five (5)
tests for 4056. Since we only need the last four (4) I dropped the first one
and went with the last four (4).


I hope this helps.......Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Eric
