VBA coding to allow for an insert of a row and to pull data from one sheet to specific columns in another
On the Title_Frame_Register sheet of the Excel File that was attached, whenever a new row is inserted, it is not being accounted for on the corresponding Revisions sheet in the Layout Tab.
In other words, we are pulling the Layout Tab column from Title_Frame_Register to the Layout Tab column on the Revisions sheet. But if a user inserts a new row on Title_Frame_Register, we don't know how to account for that on the Revisions sheet in the Layout Tab.
It is not adding the new row or the data.
Also, when we are adding information on the Revisions sheet in the Revision Date, Revision Description and Checked By columns and are all done, we would like the information clear and then to update the Title_Frame_Register sheet in the corresponding columns. So if there is information in those columns on the Title_Frame_Register page (AV) for example, it would know there is data in those columns and it would know to go to (AZ) and so on.
I have not done VBA much in years and was really good at so any assistance offered would be greatly appreciated and anything I can provide for clarity I will certainly try.

Hey Reg, the file is missing..Can you upload your file..also i will be traveling in the evening so won't get chance to look at it for couple of hours...

Yes, I am sorry about that. I don't know why it did not attach before. Thank you.

Looking at your file..i need more context about what you are trying to..i'm not clear about what you are trying to achieve here..Can you show me in the above file by the process flow what you want to do and i can write a macro for you to do the same...
Step 1/Request1: How do I replicate (copy a column contents of Values to another sheet column) of a whole column (with data content) from a primary sheet to an secondary sheet in another column?
When primary sheet is updated (populated with data) the values of replicated column are automatically updated in the column of the other sheet? This would include if a new row was inserted on the primary sheet. (So the column is B on the sheet of "Title_Frame_Register" to column A of the "Revisons" sheet)
I tried a Function but it is not accounting for an insert of a new row on the primary sheet ("Title_Frame_Register")
Step 2/Request2: I am not even sure if this can be done but on the "Revisions" sheet, when data is entered into the columns of B, C and D, a button can then be pressed that clears all the data in these columns and puts it into the "empty" columns only in "Title_Frame_Register" of the columns that have "Revision Date", "Revision Description" and "Checked By" in the next empty columns with those words in the cells. So it would be AU, AV and AX on "Title_Frame_Register" sheet.
![Revision.jpg]()
If there had been data in the above columns, the macro would put the data in AZ, BA and BB of the "Title_Frame_Register" sheet.
It is confusing as I had to have the users say it a few times. I will try and clear up anything you need. Thank you for the help.

I have tried below but I am getting an expected end of statement error on the Dim part...
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If (Target.Column = 2) Then
Dim row as Integer = Target.Row
Revisions.Cells(row, "B") = Target.Value
End If
End Sub
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If (Target.Column = 2) Then
Dim row as Integer = Target.Row
Revisions.Cells(row, "B") = Target.Value
End If
End Sub
It looks like this is as close to copying a column from one sheet to another. It does close to what I was looking for:
Sub CopyNoBanks()
Dim sh1 As Worksheet, s2 As Worksheet, i As Long
Dim j As Long, N As Long, r1 As Range
Set sh1 = Sheets("Title_Frame_Regist
Set sh2 = Sheets("Revisions")
N = sh1.Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
j = 1
For i = 1 To N
Set r1 = sh1.Cells(i, "B")
If r1.Value <> "" Then
r1.Copy sh2.Cells(j, "A")
j = j + 1
End If
Next i
End Sub
Sub CopyNoBanks()
Dim sh1 As Worksheet, s2 As Worksheet, i As Long
Dim j As Long, N As Long, r1 As Range
Set sh1 = Sheets("Title_Frame_Regist
Set sh2 = Sheets("Revisions")
N = sh1.Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
j = 1
For i = 1 To N
Set r1 = sh1.Cells(i, "B")
If r1.Value <> "" Then
r1.Copy sh2.Cells(j, "A")
j = j + 1
End If
Next i
End Sub
The last part I just need help is adding code to the macro to copy from the "Revisions" sheet, the columns of B, C, and D into the Title_Frame_Register columns with the Headers, "Revision Date", "Revision Description", and "Checked By".
If the columns have data in them, they would move to the next empty columns with those headers.
I have something like this in mind but don't know enough to finish it.
Sheets("Sheet1").Columns(1

Dim rngSrc As Range
Dim rngTgt As Range
Set sh1 = Sheets("Title_Frame_Register")
Set sh2 = Sheets("Revisions")
Set rngTgt = sh2.Range("A4")
Set rngSrc = sh1.Range("B5")
Set rngSrc = sh1.Range(rngSrc, sh1.Cells(sh1.Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp))
rngSrc.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).Copy rngTgt
End Sub
I am sorry for the confusion. I got the column over from the first Sheet.
I am trying to get a button that copies from the "Revisions" sheet, the columns of B, C, and D into the Title_Frame_Register sheet columns with the Headers, "Revision Date", "Revision Description", and "Checked By".
If the columns have data in them, they would move to the next empty columns with those headers.
So in the example, if AU, AV and AX on the "Title_Frame_Register sheet has data the copy of B, C and D from the "Revisions" sheet, the macro will move to the AZ, BA and BB of the "Title_Frame_Register Sheet.
And so on.

If the columns have data in them1. Is that for the AU:AX block or on a row-by-row basis?
2. I see multiple revision columns. Does the copy need to always place copied data into AU/AZ or to the rightmost unused revision columns?
1. Yes, it is for the AU:AX block and I think I get your question, yes the rows should match with each other with corresponding information of Column B, the "Layout Tab" for the three columns and then once those columns have data copied over to them then the code would know for the next copy to go to the AZ/BB block and so on.
2. The copy will always go to the next block that has empty columns with the Headers "Revision Date", "Revision Description", and "Checked By" until there is no more.

You will need to delete your hidden AW column in order for this code to work properly. Alternatively, you can move it to the far right side of your Title_Frame_Register worksheet.

I see aikmark working on this with you already before i got back..i let him continue as i'm sure he has spent some time on this already and will come out a solution basis of your needs soon..
If you can't live without the hidden column AW in its current location, change line 20 to
Set rngTgt = rngTgt.Offset(0, 4 + (5 - wksTgt.Range(rngTgt, rngTgt.Offset(0, 4)).Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Count))
Okay, can you add the new coding with the keeping the hidden the AW and below is what I got for results:

It is close but the rows were a little off and it did not do the Test 3 row?

"The data layout in the revisions worksheet is much different. No wonder the rows don't align" Yes, you are right. I tried explaining the situation to the Manager but...
I don't doubt that you had an error. The data layout is different. In fact, the data in column A is missing in the workbook you most recently posted.
Which of the two data layouts will you be using?

That is looking great! Let me run it through a few more tests but it looks amazing. I don't know how you guys do it. I deleted the AW column. If we/the manager needs it, they can add it at the end. Let me test and then look at your explanation.
I will update shortly but so far looks amazing. Thank you greatly in advance!

I just deleted the hidden column. They can move it to the end like you said. I am just doing a little more testing but it is looking very good.
Just a quick follow up. On the clear button, if I wanted to clear the B, C, and D columns(Below 3) on the Revisions page, how could I alter this?:
Sub Clear()
Range("A3", Range("A3").End(xlDown)).C
End Sub
Sub Clear()
Range("A3", Range("A3").End(xlDown)).C
End Sub
Sub Clear()
ActiveSheet.Range(ActiveSheet.Range("A3"), ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell)).ClearContents
End Sub
Through some testing, I am getting different results. Sometimes I get an error message and then sometimes the data jumps?
![Untitled.jpg]()
Although I wouldn't expect to see revision data on the row shown in the image file you posted, I am unable to recreated your errors from an image file. Please post your workbook and comment on how to recreate the errors.
I think I got it. (Column A In the Revisions sheet) has to be filled with data when the Revision button is pressed in order for the layout to work correctly, right?
A user did it without having data in Column A and that was the result.
