Can I Write A Macro That Will Execute Fomula In The First Empty Ce
 

Hi,

I have a spreadsheet looks like this:

QID C1 C2 C3 C4 %a %b %c %d
13123 b b b b 0 100% 0% 0%
13124 d d d d 0% 0% 0% 100%
13125 d d d d 0% 0% 0% 100%


QID is the question ID and C1 to C4 are the answers by students. Column "%a"
is the percentage of "a" answered by students. I use countif function to
calculate that.

Everytime I copy and paste a group of answers the number of questions (
number of rows) and number of answers (number of columns) will be different.
Is there any macro that will calculate (%a, %b, %c and %d) and insert the
result in the first empty column?

Hope this is clear enough. Any answer will be appreciated!!

This is an interesting macro. It puts the countif function into yoiur
worksheet automatically. Just select the upper left hand cell in the range
of grades. The macro look for the first empty column and adds the number of
A's in the row (will vary depending on number of grades in the row). Then
moves over one row and does B's, then C's, and then D's. It repeats this for
all rows until it finds the first empty row.


Sub count_results()

Set topleft = ActiveCell
Lastrow = topleft.End(xlDown).Row
LastColumn = topleft.End(xlToRight).Column
ColumnA = LastColumn + 1
For RowCount = topleft.Row To Lastrow
For Columnoffset = 0 To 3
Select Case Columnoffset
Case 0
Grade = """A"""
Case 1
Grade = """B"""
Case 2
Grade = """C"""
Case 3
Grade = """D"""
End Select
Formula = "=Countif(R" & RowCount & "C" & topleft.Column & _
":R" & RowCount & "C" & LastColumn & "," & Grade & ")"
Cells(RowCount, ColumnA + Columnoffset).FormulaR1C1 = Formula
Next Columnoffset
Next RowCount
End Sub

"Is there any macro...?" There is now!

The macro below will do what you want. You could even expand it later to
permit more answer options - it's set for 4 options now in array
possibleAnswers().

Press [Alt]+[F11] to open the VB Editor, choose Insert | Module and copy and
paste the code into the module presented. Choose the sheet with the student
answer entries in it, and use Tools | Macro | Macros to run the macro. It
presumes that NO percentages have been calculated for any row when you run it.
Also presumes that QID is in column A and all that follow it on a row are
answers entered by students when it begins.

Thanks so much for your reply!!!! That is really a lifesaver!!!!

The code will calculate only if answers are filled. Is there anyway to
perform more accurate calculation if some answers are left blank?

Once again, thanks for your prompt reply!!!!!

Should not be too difficult to change the code to do that - I presume that
you mean a situation like this (for first row of 'b's) that if it were b b
b then total answers would be 3 vs 4? To expand further, then if inputs were
a b c the results would be:
%a = 33.33% %b = 33.33% %c = 33.33% %d = 0%

Hi,

I have a spreadsheet looks like this:

QID C1 C2 C3 C4 %a %b %c %d
13123 b b b b 0 100% 0% 0%
13124 d d d d 0% 0% 0% 100%
13125 d d d d 0% 0% 0% 100%

QID is the question ID and C1 to C4 are the answers by students. Column "%a"
is the percentage of "a" answered by students. I use countif function to
calculate that.

Everytime I copy and paste a group of answers the number of questions (
number of rows) and number of answers (number of columns) will be different.
Is there any macro that will calculate (%a, %b, %c and %d) and insert the
result in the first empty column?

Hope this is clear enough. Any answer will be appreciated!!

Thanks so much for your reply!!!! That is really a lifesaver!!!!

The code will calculate only if answers are filled. Is there anyway to
perform more accurate calculation if some answers are left blank?

Once again, thanks for your prompt reply!!!!!

Yes. That's exactly what I meant.
Thanks for your neat code!!!

Can I Write A Macro That Will Execute Fomula In The First Empt
 

Self taught BASIC on a TRS-80 Model I about 1979-80, been programming in some
dialect of it ever since. The real trick to programming is learning to
define the problem - that was taught to me through formal training, initially
using FORTRAN and then Honeywell 6000 Assembly Language. I just kept at it
in various languages for many years. And here I am. There are many others
hanging about in here that are easily as skilled as I, and just as many more
that I keep learning from in these and other places around the web.

Glad I was able to help. Enjoy.

Hi,

I have a spreadsheet looks like this:

QID C1 C2 C3 C4 %a %b %c %d
13123 b b b b 0 100% 0% 0%
13124 d d d d 0% 0% 0% 100%
13125 d d d d 0% 0% 0% 100%

QID is the question ID and C1 to C4 are the answers by students. Column "%a"
is the percentage of "a" answered by students. I use countif function to
calculate that.

Everytime I copy and paste a group of answers the number of questions (
number of rows) and number of answers (number of columns) will be different.
Is there any macro that will calculate (%a, %b, %c and %d) and insert the
result in the first empty column?

Hope this is clear enough. Any answer will be appreciated!!

Thanks so much for your reply!!!! That is really a lifesaver!!!!

The code will calculate only if answers are filled. Is there anyway to
perform more accurate calculation if some answers are left blank?

baseCell.Offset(-1, lastCol + 1).Value = "B%"
baseCell.Offset(-1, lastCol + 2).Value = "C%"
baseCell.Offset(-1, lastCol + 3).Value = "D%"
End Sub

I found something that if the last column is empty the macro will
insert the result there. I know it is something to do with the loop
you wrote.
Can you please give me a hint how to insert a condition so it will go
to the right column to present the right result?

Thanks.

Can I Write A Macro That Will Execute Fomula In The First Empt
 

I usually come in through this web page with my browser:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx
Then when replying to messages you simply type your entry at the top of it.
If you're coming in through other groups or via newsreader it would be
different. No big deal, I can deal with it myself, but some do shy away from
bottom posted responses.

Big question is whether or not that last code I provided worked for you or
not <g.

Self taught BASIC on a TRS-80 Model I about 1979-80, been programming in some
dialect of it ever since. The real trick to programming is learning to
define the problem - that was taught to me through formal training, initially
using FORTRAN and then Honeywell 6000 Assembly Language. I just kept at it
in various languages for many years. And here I am. There are many others
hanging about in here that are easily as skilled as I, and just as many more
that I keep learning from in these and other places around the web.

Glad I was able to help. Enjoy.

Should not be too difficult to change the code to do that - I presume that
you mean a situation like this (for first row of 'b's) that if it were b b
b then total answers would be 3 vs 4? To expand further, then if inputs were
a b c the results would be:
%a = 33.33% %b = 33.33% %c = 33.33% %d = 0%

"Is there any macro...?" There is now!

The macro below will do what you want. You could even expand it later to
permit more answer options - it's set for 4 options now in array
possibleAnswers().

Press [Alt]+[F11] to open the VB Editor, choose Insert | Module and copy and
paste the code into the module presented. Choose the sheet with the student
answer entries in it, and use Tools | Macro | Macros to run the macro. It
presumes that NO percentages have been calculated for any row when you run it.
Also presumes that QID is in column A and all that follow it on a row are
answers entered by students when it begins.

Sub CalcResults()
'must start with QID and answer inputs ONLY
'you'll need to clear any previous entries
'on ALL rows before using this
'
'you must have the data sheet selected
'before running this Macro
'
Const firstAnswerRow = 2 ' first row # with question data
