Tidying up worksheet to get rid of "junk" information

Hi Guys,

Attched is a work book.

Sheet1 shows a list of horse races with stats that i pull from the internet - at the moment i have to go through manualy to make my selctions but i would like to have this process automatic.

I would like it so when i copy and paste the data into sheet1 sheet to can read the data from sheet one and make it neat!!!

Basicly i need to strip out the 'junk' and put it together shown in tab2. I have also added an extra colum 'Race Num' this will need to have the race number in so race 1,2,3,4,5 ect.

The issue is each selection will be different depending on the number of horses in the race BUT it will always begin with the header titles for each race "No. Form Days Horse Age Weight Headgear Jockey Trainer OR FC Odds HRB Total CD Form
" and will and with a blank column then "Last Years Winner" .

Hopefuly i have given enough information to hopefully get an answer to how this can be done.

Hi,

pls try

Sub macro1()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Info").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
    Set ResultSht = Sheets(Sheets.Count)
    ResultSht.Name = "Result"
    Range("1:4").EntireRow.Delete
    Range("N1") = "Number"
    Idx = 1
    lastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    rwIdx = 2
    AreaIsOn = True
    Do While rwIdx <= lastRow
    If Cells(rwIdx, 1) = "No." Then
        AreaIsOn = True
        Cells(rwIdx, 1).EntireRow.Delete
        Idx = Idx + 1
        Range("N" & rwIdx).Value = Idx
        rwIdx = rwIdx + 1

    ElseIf AreaIsOn = True And Cells(rwIdx, 1) = "" Then
        AreaIsOn = False
        Cells(rwIdx, 1).EntireRow.Delete
        Debug.Print Cells(rwIdx, 1).End(xlDown).Row
    ElseIf AreaIsOn = False And (Cells(rwIdx + 1, 1) <> "" Or Cells(rwIdx + 2, 1) <> "" Or Cells(rwIdx + 3, 1) <> "") Then
        Cells(rwIdx, 1).EntireRow.Delete
        lastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    Else
        Range("N" & rwIdx).Value = Idx
        rwIdx = rwIdx + 1
    End If
    Loop
ResultSht.Range("A1").Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Thats amazing! this is exactly what i wanted thanks!

Just one thing.... instead of creating a sheet named reults each time (ResultSht.Name = "Result"
) could it just replace the data in results with the new data???

Hi

If you prefer I do not recommend it because if the macro as a problem you won't recover your data with undo

Sub macro1()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Sheets("Info").Activate
    Range("1:4").EntireRow.Delete
    Range("N1") = "Number"
    Idx = 1
    lastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    rwIdx = 2
    AreaIsOn = True
    Do While rwIdx <= lastRow
    If Cells(rwIdx, 1) = "No." Then
        AreaIsOn = True
        Cells(rwIdx, 1).EntireRow.Delete
        Idx = Idx + 1
        Range("N" & rwIdx).Value = Idx
        rwIdx = rwIdx + 1

    ElseIf AreaIsOn = True And Cells(rwIdx, 1) = "" Then
        AreaIsOn = False
        Cells(rwIdx, 1).EntireRow.Delete
        Debug.Print Cells(rwIdx, 1).End(xlDown).Row
    ElseIf AreaIsOn = False And (Cells(rwIdx + 1, 1) <> "" Or Cells(rwIdx + 2, 1) <> "" Or Cells(rwIdx + 3, 1) <> "") Then
        Cells(rwIdx, 1).EntireRow.Delete
        lastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    Else
        Range("N" & rwIdx).Value = Idx
        rwIdx = rwIdx + 1
    End If
    Loop
    Range("N1").End(xlDown).ClearContents
    Range("A1").Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Sorry i ment it on a sep tab...so keep the results tab but you would need to delete it each time i ran the original code.

Hi

Here we are

Sub macro1()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    On Error Resume Next
    Set ResultSht = Sheets("Result")
    On Error GoTo 0
    If Not (IsEmpty(ResultSht)) Then
        Application.DisplayAlerts = False
        Sheets("Result").Delete
        Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    End If
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Info").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
    Set ResultSht = Sheets(Sheets.Count)
    ResultSht.Name = "Result"
    Range("1:4").EntireRow.Delete
    Range("N1") = "Number"
    Idx = 1
    lastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    rwIdx = 2
    AreaIsOn = True
    Do While rwIdx <= lastRow
    If Cells(rwIdx, 1) = "No." Then
        AreaIsOn = True
        Cells(rwIdx, 1).EntireRow.Delete
        Idx = Idx + 1
        Range("N" & rwIdx).Value = Idx
        rwIdx = rwIdx + 1

    ElseIf AreaIsOn = True And Cells(rwIdx, 1) = "" Then
        AreaIsOn = False
        Cells(rwIdx, 1).EntireRow.Delete
    ElseIf AreaIsOn = False And (Cells(rwIdx + 1, 1) <> "" Or Cells(rwIdx + 2, 1) <> "" Or Cells(rwIdx + 3, 1) <> "") Then
        Cells(rwIdx, 1).EntireRow.Delete
        lastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    Else
        Range("N" & rwIdx).Value = Idx
        rwIdx = rwIdx + 1

    Range("N1").End(xlDown).ClearContents

Could you be more precise with example

An example is attached....

I have also noticed if you look at line 619 in info it adds an extra colum "stall"
This messes up the result seaction (line 296) is there away that this can be removed when copying over to results???

Spot on but it still has an issue:

No. Form Days Horse Age Weight Headgear Jockey Trainer Stall OR FC Odds HRB Total CD Form

Some of the stats have a column with stall in it... i need it to ingnor that when it copies over to the results page (if you look at row 619 you will see what i mean)
