Simple VBA Excel Coding

Can you post a workbook?

question 1 :
paste as worksheet code in the VBA editor

Sub process_names()

For Row = 1 To UsedRange.Rows.Count
    If Len(Range("N" & Row)) > 2 Then
        Range("N" & Row) = Range("N" & Row) & " " & Range("O" & Row)
        Range("O" & Row) = Range("P" & Row)
    End If
Next Row


End Sub

Select allOpen in new window

for the second question :

you can use "usedrange", which determines a bounding box of all cells used in a worksheet

or you can use the following code :

For Each x In Range("K1:Z500")
      ' There is not a Proper function in Visual Basic for Applications.
      ' So, you must use the worksheet function in the following form:
      if x.value = "" then exit for
      x.Value = Application.Proper(x.Value)
   Next

Select allOpen in new window

and

For Each Row In UsedRange.Rows
  '-- the B cell is the 2nd cell in a row
  If Row.Cells(2) = "Delete" Then
    Row.delete
  End If

Next Row

Select allOpen in new window

please note that when deleting a row, all underlying rows move upwards. This can cripple functions relating to cells in this row.
If this is the case, you can try to

row.clear

instead of row.delete.

also : the "Delete" clause is case-sensitive. If you'd rather have a case-insensitive version, use :

if lcase(row.cells(2)) = "delete" then

I'm getting a Run-time error '424': Object Required when I try to use the UsedRange function. E.g., for your code for question 1, I pasted this code into the sheet, and try running the macro by itself:

Sub process_names()

For Row = 1 To UsedRange.Rows.Count
    If Len(Range("N" & Row)) > 2 Then
        Range("N" & Row) = Range("N" & Row) & " " & Range("O" & Row)
        Range("O" & Row) = Range("P" & Row)
    End If
Next Row


End Sub

Did you place the macro in a module ?

when used as above, the usedrange is not related to a specific worksheet and thus acts on the worksheet in which the macro is placed. When placed in a module, the code does not have a reference to the worksheet to be used.

so either :

- copy/paste the macro in a worksheet section in the vba editor
or
- add a reference to the required worksheet
eg:

Sub process_names()

With Worksheets("Sheet1")
    For Row = 1 To .UsedRange.Rows.Count
        If Len(.Range("N" & Row)) > 2 Then
            .Range("N" & Row) = .Range("N" & Row) & " " & Range("O" & Row)
            .Range("O" & Row) = .Range("P" & Row)
        End If
    Next Row
End With

End Sub

Select allOpen in new window

or in your case : Worksheets("Data")

Thanks. Making some progress. But, I still get a Runtime Error - Object required. When I debug, this is what I see. I've put the error location in the macro in Bold below:

Sub CopyFormulas()
    With Worksheets("Data")
        For Each Row In UsedRange.Rows
     '-- the F cell is the 6th cell in a row
          If Row.Cells(6) <> "" Then
            Row.Cells(1).Formula = Range("A1").Formula
            Row.Cells(2).Formula = Range("B1").Formula
            Row.Cells(3).Formula = Range("C1").Formula
            Row.Cells(4).Formula = Range("D1").Formula
            Row.Cells(5).Formula = Range("E1").Formula
          End If
        Next Row
    End With
End Sub

Here is all the Macros in the Module:

Almost there, you made a typo :

the code

 with worksheets("data")
    .usedrange [...]
   .cells[...]
end with

translates to

worksheets("data").usedrange [...]
worksheets("data").cells[...]

but only if you include the leading dot (".")

otherwise is would translate to

worksheets("data")usedrange instead of  worksheets("data").usedrange
