I am running code that produces a huge list (short phrases) in column A2 and down.

In the normal operation of the code, there are times when it produces the phrases as wanted and other times due to the data the code is working on, it produces the phrases and apparently blank cells.

However, the cells actually have 5 spaces in them. When I look the sheet over it is evident why there are 5 spaces. To fix the problem by altering the main code would for sure require a massive rewrite, if I could even explain what is causing the spaces.

I am fairly certain manipulating the data in column A is the better way to cope with the "blank looking" cells that have the spaces.

Where I am stumped is the cells with the short phrases have spaces that are needed. So a blanket remove spaces from column A would not work.

I cannot figure how to distinguish the good spaces from the bad spaces then remove the cells with the bad spaces.

The end result being a list of the phrases in A2 and down with no blanks.

I looked for examples of filter code and for If IsText but did not come up with anything.

Also, I cannot be sure it will always be 5 spaces each time.

Thanks.

At the spot where you put the text ino the cell, try something like this:

If Len(Trim$(random_phrase)) 0 Then ActiveCell.Value = random_phrase

Thanks Auric, I tried to incorporate your suggestion but couldn't make it work.
Changed the random_phrase to Tlt in the Sub Titles_Col_A and to (b) in the other code Claus wrote but no go.

Not even sure I had it in the correct spot.

Claus, you may recognize the major code here. If you look on the sheet at cell D46 you will see a purple section that is blank. This is what causes the 6 spaces in the column A output. The blank section (maybe two sections) would be normal use.

I tried putting a "false" character in each purple cell, * for instance, and then tried a 'find and clear contents' to try to get it to a true blank but just isn't my day I guess.

Thanks for taking a look.

I often get an error message about trouble posting and to try again later. Wonder if it is something on my end or what?? Has a Reload option that wipes everything out and I have to start over again from scratch.

Woops, I left this line in the code, which runs amok, delete it and click the Titles button to produce the list in column A

If Len(Trim$(Tlt)) 0 Then ActiveCell.Value = Tlt



For Each Tlt In aeRng
Range("A" & n).Resize(6).Value = .Transpose(.Index(Tlt.Resize(, 11), 0, Array(1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11)))
If Len(Trim$(Tlt)) 0 Then ActiveCell.Value = Tlt
n = n + 6

Hi Claus,

Range D46:N65 is blank as a matter of normal use. It is filled manually by placing certain words in each column D, F, H, J, L, M. Then a single word from each column produces a short phrase.

I don't know exactly why it is blank, except the user may only want 5 individual short phrases in each result returned to column A. May also only want 4 short phrases in the column A return, so 2 of those colored ranges could be blank.

You most likely picked up that each of those section (above and below the D46:N65 blank range) provide the words for a randomly selected phrase. So if all sections are filled with words then there would be 6 short phrases in each cell in column A.

That is why I thought the solution should be manipulating the data in column A rather rewrite all the main code. The code works very well as written.

then fill range AQ only if there are values in range D:N.
Instead of formula use following macro:

Sub FillAQ()
Dim rngC As Range

For Each rngC In Range("AQ2:AQ131")

And change the Randomize macro to:

Sub Six_By_Six_Title_Randomizer()

this code only reads cells with values into the array instead of 6

And so the range is resized with Ubound(arrOut) +1 you get no empty

So I'm thinking that is done here where the space " " is replaced with nothing "" and if still greater than 0 it means there is text so it reads it into the array.

If Len(Replace(Tlt.Offset(0, i), " ", "")) 0 Then
ReDim Preserve arrOut(j)
arrOut(j) = Tlt.Offset(0, i)
j = j + 1
End If

I need another nudge.
Want to transfer data workbook Y.
A list of target worksheets in book Y is in column AU of the source workbook/worksheet.
The target column for each target sheet is next to it in column AV.

The code errors out on this line where I have put "c" and c in place of "what goes here??"

Set wksTarget = wkbTarget.Sheets("What goes here??")
Set wksTarget = wkbTarget.Sheets("c")
Set wksTarget = wkbTarget.Sheets(c)

None work.

The Msgboxes both return a correct sheet name and a column number.
Which is Allee & 1 as they are the first entries of the list.

Thanks,
Howard


Sub Transfer_Titles()
Dim myRng As Range
Dim rngC As Range
Dim i As Long
Dim myArr() As Variant

Dim wksSource As Worksheet, wksTarget As Worksheet
Dim wkbSource As Workbook, wkbTarget As Workbook
Dim rngSource As Range, rngTarget As Range

Dim c As Range
Dim trgWs As Range
Dim trgCol As Long

Set myRng = Range("A2:A12100")

For Each rngC In myRng
ReDim Preserve myArr(myRng.Cells.Count - 1)
myArr(i) = rngC
i = i + 1
Next

'/ List of target sheet names in column AU2:AU21
'/ Destination column for each target sheet is in AV next to sheet name

Set wkbSource = Workbooks("Title Builder Randomizer rev 2.0 xfer titles.xlsm")
Set wkbTarget = Workbooks("Y.xlsm")

For Each c In Range("AU2:AU21")
MsgBox c
trgCol = c.Offset(0, 1)
MsgBox trgCol

Set wksTarget = wkbTarget.Sheets("What goes here??")

With wksSource
wksTarget.Cells(2, trgCol).Resize(rowsize:=myRng.Cells.Count) _
= WorksheetFunction.Transpose(myArr)
End With
Next 'c
End Sub

Also, I added this in case the workbook Y was not open.

If Not IsFileOpen("C:\Users\Howard Kittle\Documents\Y.xlsm") Then
Workbooks.Open ("C:\Users\Howard Kittle\Documents\Y.xlsm")
End If

It does indeed open the workbook if not open and the code runs on down until it errors out as I posted above.

However, the Msgboxes both return blank until the code is run again, then correct data is indicated. (of course it still errors out on that same line)

I don't understand why it prevents the variables from returning in the msgboxes on the opening run.

Oh yes! That works very quick. Nice. About 0.623 seconds to transfer 10,000 rows to twenty sheets.

I wrote a couple of lines to recalc the data between each sheet transfer so that each sheet got a unique set of data and the time was 36 seconds. That seems quite reasonable to me given it is the recalc that takes the time, not the transfer.

Thanks Claus. The array speed is always impressive.

Hi Claus,

On a different sheet in the same project, I am trying to output column AQ to both column A and sheet 2 column B of the same workbook. This sheet is very almost identical to the Titles sheet except here it is returning up to six short phrases to the taget cells.

This is one of many attempts to get it to write to sheet2.
Is this a case like you describe above.

Writes to sheet 1 just fine, the active sheet.

Sub A2_Down_Copy()
Dim lRowCount
lRowCount = Cells(Rows.Count, "AE").End(xlUp).Row

With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2").Resize(lRowCount)
.Formula = "=CONCATENATE(AE2&AG2&AI2&AK2&AM2&AO2)": .Value = .Value
End With

With Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B2").Resize(lRowCount)
.Formula = "=CONCATENATE(AE2&AG2&AI2&AK2&AM2&AO2)": .Value = .Value
End With

End Sub

Thanks.

Thanks Claus. That works well for me. Sheet 1 copy is perfect.

The Sheet 2 copy was producing a ghost #N/A in row 2002. I did this and it went away.

Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B2").Resize(lRowCount - 1) = myArr

Row 2 and 2001 on both sheets are identical each time I test.

I did notice that Column AE2 is blank and the blank repeats every 20 rows. Does not affect the copy that your code does. All the blank rows are copied as 5 short phrases instead of 6. More troubleshooting to do.

But like your code, always top notch.

Thanks again.

Hi Claus,

https://www.dropbox.com/s/w7swpuj776...rop%20Box.xlsm

I think we are very close.

The sheets of concern at this time are Publish Data, Title Builder and Description Builder.

Title code needs to fill column A of Title sheet and column B of Publish.

Description code needs to fill column A of Description sheet and column E of publish.

Mostly it is doing that but the list seem to be correctly done but not identical.

That is: the list on Titles column A and the list on Publish column B are different from one another after each running of the code.

The same for Description.

Also need to be able to run Titles and Description code from Publish sheet. There is a button for each. This seems to somewhat of a problem.

I'll be dealing with the other sheets to do similar work, but hopefully I can use the correctly done code for Titles and Descriptions to guide me.

Thanks for taking a look.

Ah crap. I just noticed the I have the Titles code screwed up and it is publishing what Description code is supposed to.

Title code should only be one phrase per row and Description is six.

Sorry, Claus, do you have enough info to deal with the mess I am causing?

at the moment I am a little bit confused.

Should the list in column A or Title and column B of Publish be the
same?
Also for Description and Publish?
Or should be randomized between running the code?

I believe this is another screw up on my part.

I have changed:
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A2").Resize(rowsize:=UBoun d(myArr)) = myArr
To
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("B2").Resize(rowsize:=UBoun d(myArr)) = myArr
Thinking that was a destination...?

myArr = Range("A2:A2001")
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A2").Resize(rowsize:=UBoun d(myArr)) = myArr

The sheets of concern at this time are Publish Data, Title Builder and Description Builder.

Title code needs to fill column A of Title sheet and column B of Publish.

Description code needs to fill column A of Description sheet and column E of publish.

Mostly it is doing that but the list seem to be correctly done but not identical.

That is: the list on Titles column A and the list on Publish column B are different from one another after each running of the code.

The same for Description.

Also need to be able to run Titles and Description code from Publish sheet. There is a button for each. This seems to somewhat of a problem.

I'll be dealing with the other sheets to do similar work, but hopefully I can use the correctly done code for Titles and Descriptions to guide me.



at the moment I am a little bit confused.



Should the list in column A or Title and column B of Publish be the

same?

Also for Description and Publish?

Or should be randomized between running the code?

Each time the code is run for Titles both destinations should be identical lists.

Titles column A on Titles sheet and column B on Publish sheet.

Descriptions column A on Descriptions sheet and column E on Publish sheet.

That is looking pretty good. I still need the Title portion to produce a single phrase instead of six phrases.

This link demonstrates what the Title output should look like.
Note column A entries are just one phrase.

Yes, that looks great!

I hope those codes will serve me well in finishing the workbook with the remaining sheets.

At this point I don't know what all info on the remaining sheet is the stuff to bring to Publish.

Terrific work in my eyes.

Thanks much.

Howard

Hi Claus,

Some advice please.

The "Title Builder" and "Description Builder" worksheets are my focus here.
I have found that if I run either Description or Title macros, they take about 190 seconds plus another 90 seconds to complete.

12,000 Titles and 2000 Descriptions to column A on their respective sheets.
The GOOD news is that duplicates are very very rare. Have yet to find one on the Description sheet and Titles I usually get from 0 to 3. These are very acceptable results.

The BAD news is the length of time to run the codes.

I have tried Calculation set to manual on both codes and the time is very acceptable, about 1 second.
The major BAD news with this is that the duplicates occur at a huge and unacceptable level. So I guess there are some necessary calculations not happening and the duplications occur.

I'm open to suggestions, perhaps do those Titles and Descriptions calculations in a separate workbook/s and transfer the data to the proper columns on the main workbook..??

This is a Demo main workbook if you need to see anything on it.

This should say...

if I would know what the workbook should do I could help better.
Do you need the columns AE:AO?
I thought in column A should only be 1 sentence?
Have a look:
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=9378A...121822A3%21326
for workbook "Demo Work Book rev2.9"
I changed the formulas in AQ and the code for
"Six_By_Six_Title_Randomizer" and "CopyToA2_2_Titles"

If you can work with this suggestion you can similiar change the rest of
the code.

I ran the Titles code in your revision and it worked pretty fast, but had about 100 duplicates. I used the "remove duplicates" feature on the Data tab and it found about 100 each time I ran the code and checked.

So, maybe the revised code with some more code at the end to remove duplicates is the answer. There would only be about 11,900 non duplicated entries but that might a workable solution.

The goal is for Titles to produce 12,000 single phrases in column A, with no duplicates.

Entries like this are considered a duplicate.

Greetings to you! Ordering a King Std Top? On Hand 65% savings!
Greetings to you! Ordering a King Std Top? On Hand 65% savings!

Entries like these are not duplicates.

BuenosDias - Fishing for a Contemporary Serta Queen Set? . $below retail.
BuenosDias - Pursing a Current Beauty Rest-Bed? $$ under retail.
Buenos dias! Buying that King Comfort Set? Full Line $$ below retail,

The goal for Descriptions is to produce 2,000 entries in column A where each entry will be up to 6 individual phrases per entry.

No duplicates allowed with Descriptions also. And it seems duplicates in the Descriptions are very rare. Probably because of the multiple phrases in each entry.

As far as need the columns AE:AO, I cannot say. Speed of the code and avoiding duplicates is paramount concern. If they can be eliminated that is okay.

I have tested the Titles in a one sheet workbook that does nothing but the 12,000 rows of single phrase entries, and the duplicates range between 0 and 4 on any given run of the code. The well written code spits the 12,000 entries out in about 1 second. That speed and that small amount of duplicates would be acceptable.

I did notice in the workbook I sent that some of the comments in the code are inaccurate, my bad and I am sorry if that caused confusion. Best to ignore them and the goals for the code is as I have stated above or as close as we can get to them.

I ran the Titles code also but I get a maximum of 4 duplicates. The
message of "RemoveDuplicates" is wrong.
Write in B2 (under "Len")
=--(Countif($A$2:$A$12001;A2) and copy down to B12001. After code is
through filter this column for 1.

here is a typo. The formula should be:
