Code Error Help

Asked by: Mighty1072

It is working but, not to what I want.
It should list all not of the text. It only list the last one.

Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To 6

 Cells(5, i) = "Property"
 Cells(5, i) = "Report Name"
 Cells(5, i) = "To"
 Cells(5, i) = "From"
 Cells(5, i) = "Date Printed"
 Cells(5, i) = "File Name"

Next i

Perhaps you meant just...


 Cells(5, 1) = "Property"
 Cells(5, 2) = "Report Name"
 Cells(5, 3) = "To"
 Cells(5, 4) = "From"
 Cells(5, 5) = "Date Printed"
 Cells(5, 6) = "File Name"

If not, then please clarify what you're trying to do.

 

by: mandar0Posted on 2009-11-05 at 10:46:37ID: 25752539

The loop is not needed as you will only see last value in the cell.
Please check the following solution. It should get you what you need.
Let me know if you have questions.

 Cells(5, 1) = "Property"
 Cells(5, 2) = "Report Name"
 Cells(5, 3) = "To"
 Cells(5, 4) = "From"
 Cells(5, 5) = "Date Printed"
 Cells(5, 6) = "File Name"

 Cells(5, 1) = "Property"
 Cells(5, 2) = "Report Name"
 Cells(5, 3) = "To"
 Cells(5, 4) = "From"
 Cells(5, 5) = "Date Printed"
 Cells(5, 6) = "File Name"

This is the result I wanted:
A5             B5                           C5            D5            E6                                 F6
Propety      Report Name      To      From      Date Printed      File Name



But this is what the code does.

A5               B5                           C5            D5             E6                                 F6
File Name         File Name      File Name       File Name   File Name      File Name

hope this is clear.

 

by: Mighty1072Posted on 2009-11-05 at 10:50:28ID: 25752581

This is a simple way to do it. I can type in the number myself. But if I have like 100, than that is not practical.

Cells(5, 1) = "Property"
 Cells(5, 2) = "Report Name"
 Cells(5, 3) = "To"
 Cells(5, 4) = "From"
 Cells(5, 5) = "Date Printed"
 Cells(5, 6) = "File Name"

Mighty1072,

Sorry, but you're not making sense.

Please take a step back and fully explain what you're trying to do.

Patrick

 

by: saurabh726Posted on 2009-11-05 at 10:53:33ID: 25752620

Use this....What this going to do is replicate in row 5 from column-1 to 100 the file name.

dim i as long
 
for i=1 to 100
cells(5,i).value="File Name"
Next i

This is what I want to do.

Sorry for the confusion.  I want cells A5 to have property and go down the line.

Rather put in the number for the column,  I want to pass it through a number, that
I don't have to type in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and so on.

A5             B5                           C5            D5            E6                                 F6
Propety      Report Name      To      From      Date Printed      File Name

 

by: saurabh726Posted on 2009-11-05 at 11:01:49ID: 25752719

Now Since your headers for each row are different, You can do what you are looking for and you have to type each value again , You can have a loop done like my above code if the value is same.

 

by: Mighty1072Posted on 2009-11-05 at 11:03:22ID: 25752736

No value is not the same for the header. So I can't loop like that

 

by: mandar0Posted on 2009-11-05 at 11:10:59ID: 25752794

Do you have list of values somewhere in Excel?

 

by: Mighty1072Posted on 2009-11-05 at 11:12:41ID: 25752813

No, I don't. Is that impossible to do with hardcode into the vb itself?

 

by: saurabh726Posted on 2009-11-05 at 11:18:21ID: 25752868

Then you need to do like patrick said, type 100 entries other wise there is no way to do what you are looking for as in type those 100 values somewhere and then you can pick them...something like this...

Dim v As Variant, values As Variant
Dim k As Variant, i As Long
v = "value1,value2,value3"
 
values = Split(v, ",")
 
 
i = 1
For Each k In values
Cells(1, i).Value = k
i = i + 1
Next k

Oh, now your request makes sense.
You have list of values that you want to hardcode into VB and then copy it over to Excel as headers when required.
The attached code will take care of it.
You will type in values in VB as Array. As many values as you like.
Then use loop to write it to series of cells.
Hope it solves your problem
Thanks.

Sub arrToCells()
Dim strHeaders() As Variant
Dim i As Long
 
strHeaders = Array("Property", "Report Name", "To", "From", "Date Printed", "File Name")
 
For i = 1 To 6
  Cells(5, i).Value = strHeaders(i - 1)
Next
 
End Sub
