Copy columns if cell row has a value
 

* Need to read each row in a spreasheet (number of rows in the
spreadsheet will always be changing)

* if there is a value in Cells(i, 4) and
the text in Cells(i, 3) = 'Active'

I want to copy columns 1,4,5,7,10 to a new workbook. [one or more row
makes up one record - the value in column 4 signifies a new record]

* This new spreadsheet will be turned into a CSV to feed another
program.


How would you approach this?
Any help is appreciated!!
thanks

Dim rng as Range, rw as long, dest as Range
Dim cell as Range
with Activesheet
set rng = Intersect(.columns(1),.usedrange).Cells
End with
set dest = workbooks("Otherbook.xls").Worksheets(1).Range("A1 ")
rw = 0
for each cell in rng
if cell.offset(0,3) < "" and cell.offset(0,2)="Active" then
rw = rw + 1
cell.Range("A1,A4,A5,A7,A10").copy Destination:=dest(rw)
End if
Next

Copy columns if cell row has a value
 

Thanks - got me 90% there. For some reason I'm only getting the first
column though...4,5,7,10 don't get copied over.

Tried to figure it out on my own but pulling what little hair I have
left out. I'm not sure I understand the use of ("A1,A4,A5...") - does
"A" constitute the ROW and 1,4,5 the Column?

Thanks again - HUGE help!!!

Copy columns if cell row has a value
 

Sorry, got my rows and columns reversed. This works
Sub BBBB()
Dim rng As Range, rw As Long, dest As Range
Dim cell As Range
With ActiveSheet
Set rng = Intersect(.Columns(1), .UsedRange).Cells
End With
Set dest = Workbooks("Otherbook.xls").Worksheets(1).Range("A1 ")
rw = 0
For Each cell In rng
If cell.Offset(0, 3) < "" And cell.Offset(0, 2) = "Active" Then
rw = rw + 1
cell.Range("A1,D1,E1,G1,J1").Copy Destination:=dest(rw)
End If
Next
End Sub


so cell.Range("A1,D1,E1,G1,J1").

is relative to the cell where it is anchored. co Cell.Range("D1") would be
column D (column 4) since cell is in column A.
