extracting data in an array
Hello fellow excel users...
I have a question on using vba to extract data from an array. Okay, here's the scenario... A B C 1 Task Deliver drawings 6/20/2007 2 General Note Did some things 3 General Note Finished some things 4 Task Order new drawings 6/21/2007 5 Task Finish drawings 6/22/2007 6 Phone Call Talked with Bill 7 Task Finish project 6/25/2007 A1:A7 are strings (obviously), as are B1:B7. There will not be any dates in the rows that are NOT titled "Task". What I want to do is have VBA extract the rows titled "Task" (including their subject and date) and put them in a new column. Or something to that effect so that when the code is run, what will be left is this... Task Deliver drawings 6/20/2007 Task Order new drawings 6/21/2007 Taks Finish drawings 6/22/2007 Taks Finish project 6/25/2007 If it's possible, the rows with General Note and Phone Call can be eliminated so that only rows with Task are left is fine. I didn't know if sorting a new list or just eliminating rows would be easier. Anyway, this is what I need and I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help? Thanks. |

extracting data in an array
Do you want VBA code?
Sub Eliminaterows() Dim lastrow as Long, i as Long lastrow = cells(rows.count,3).end(xlup).row for i = lastrow to 1 step -1 if lcase(cells(i,1)) < "task" or cells(i,3)="" then rows(i).EntireRow.delete end if next EndSub Test this on a copy of your data to make sure it works. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy " wrote: Hello fellow excel users...

extracting data in an array
Wait! My bad!! It actually DID work!
At first there was an error in what you gave me. I thought it was because you had "task" and not "Task". So I made it upper case. But then I noticed you didn't have a space between EndSub. But I didn't change Task back to task and later I noticed that you made everything lowercase with LCase. It works perfect. This is EXACTLY what I wanted. THANKS!!!! |
