A Simple(?) Macro Question
I'm a newbie. I just learned of this forum. I'm struggling with macros in Excel. I want to do a few very simple operations a couple million times. I need to mechanize the process. I can do some simple stuff, like "multiply the numbers in that column by this number." But then I'm stuck on how to maneuver to a different position & do the same operation again. In Lotus, I could use RIGHT, DOWN, END & stuff like that. I'm not having much luck with Excel (&, I assume, VBA). I was surprised that I couldn't attach an Excel spreadsheet to this message. (Maybe there's a trick to learn.) I've attached it as .pdf. I hope I've explained what I want to do. The example is trivial. But doing it a million times without a macro would be a bother. It would certainly be easiest if someone could return an Excel spreadsheet. Then I could fool with the code & get to my real problem.

A Simple(?) Macro Question
Assume that horizontal numbers start in B1 and the vertical numbers start in
A2 Option Explicit Sub BuildData() Dim cnt As Long, i As Long, j As Long Dim bMatch As Boolean, lastrow As Long Dim lastCol As Long lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row lastCol = Cells(1, Columns.Count _ ).End(xlToLeft).Column cnt = 1 For j = 2 To lastCol bMatch = False For i = 2 To lastrow If Cells(i, 1).Value = Cells(1, j).Value Then bMatch = True End If If bMatch Then Cells(i, j).Value = Cells(i, 1).Value _ * Cells(1, j).Value Cells(cnt, lastCol + 2).Value = _ Cells(i, j).Value cnt = cnt + 1 End If Next Next End Sub -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "DaveJones39" wrote in message ...

A Simple(?) Macro Question
It says this is a reply to the thread. I'm a little put off by the new title. I had a 'simple(?)' macro question. Tom O. responded & I don't see his e-mail addy, to allow me a private 'Thank you.' So, I'll post it here. Thanks, Tom. (Geez. This stuff doesn't look simple at all. I've got some work to do!) -- DaveJones39 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DaveJones39's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33734 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=535128 |

A Simple(?) Macro Question
probably 95% of the responses that you see in the Excel forum are coming
from the UseNet news group and not from members of the Excel Forum. Those people responding probably have no knowledge of the Excel forum or what you are seeing in the Excel forum. news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...el.programming -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "DaveJones39" wrote in message ...

A Simple(?) Macro Question
This is a new neighborhood (world) for me. Tom O. mentioned "probably 95% of the responses that you see in the Excel forum are coming from the UseNet news group and not from members of the Excel Forum." That's a mystery to me. Are Excel Forum questions posted in some broader, public forum (UseNet)? Or is this a HELP function sponsored by MS? I see same individuals responding to several different Excel Forum queries. Are these folks simply Good Samaritans, or are they sponsored or paid to do this good work? (Assuming that Tom O. is a human & not a computer-generated responder, I'd appreciate a private e-mail so that I could make (brief) contact.) -- DaveJones39 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DaveJones39's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33734 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=535128 |
