Question

Excel VBA loop through rows and copy cells

Asked by: omcr

I want to loop through each row of a spreadsheet and based on the value of cells in column b,  copy the contents of the  cells in columns a,b , d, h, j, and copy it to another workbook. I have it working where I can copy the entire row but that won't work for my current project. Here is the code to get the entire row:

Sub copyRows_1()
   
    Dim SiteCol As Range, Cell As Object
     
    Set SiteCol = Range("B4:B700") 'Range containing pc names
     
    For Each Cell In SiteCol
         
        If IsEmpty(Cell) Then
            Exit Sub
        End If
         
        If Cell.Value Like "PC00*" Then
            Cell.EntireRow.Copy
            Windows("pcMaster.xls").Activate
            ActiveSheet.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Select
            Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
            ActiveSheet.Paste
             
        End If
             Next
End Sub

Hello omcr,
Try the macro below.

Sub copyData_1()
Dim SiteCol As Range, Cell As Range
Dim wsDest As Worksheet
Dim i As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wsDest = Workbooks("pcMaster.xls").Worksheets("Sheet1")     'Destination sheet
i = wsDest.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If (i = 1) And (wsDest.Cells(1, 1) = "") Then i = 0
Set SiteCol = Range("B4") 'First cell containing pc names
Set SiteCol = Range(SiteCol, Cells(Rows.Count, SiteCol.Column).End(xlUp))   'All your data in column
For Each Cell In SiteCol.Cells
    If Cell.Value Like "PC00*" Then     'Copy colums a,b, d, h, j
        i = i + 1
        wsDest.Cells(i, 1).Resize(1, 5) = Array(Cell.Offset(0, -1), Cell, Cell.Offset(0, 2), _

Hi,

Here is my take, though untested

Option Compare Text
Sub kTest()
Dim ka, k(), i As Long, n As Long, aWB As Workbook, dWB As Workbook
 
Set aWB = ActiveWorkbook
ka = aWB.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("a4:j700") 'Range containing pc names
ReDim k(1 To UBound(ka, 1), 1 To 5)
 
For i = 1 To UBound(ka, 1)
    If ka(i, 2) Like "PC00*" Then
        n = n + 1
        k(n, 1) = ka(i, 1): k(n, 2) = ka(i, 2): k(n, 3) = ka(i, 4)
        k(n, 4) = ka(i, 8): k(n, 5) = ka(i, 10)
    End If
Next
Set dWB = Workbooks("pcMaster.xls")
With dWB.Sheets(1).Range("a" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
    .Resize(n, 5).Value = k
End With
End Sub
