repeat checking and empty cell

[kbenjamin]

Hi All,

Hopefully somebody can help me to write a vba repeat until data end?

if D2=1, column AH2 & AI2 value stay still, if D2=empty, column AH2 & AI2 blank cell/Clear cell content

Example:
From

D	AH	AI
1	0.12	8.25
	0.12	8.25
	0.12	8.25
	0.12	8.25
1	0.01	1.85
	0.01	1.85

<TBODY>
</TBODY>

To this

D	AH	AI
1	0.12	8.25
1	0.01	1.85

<TBODY>
</TBODY>

Many Thanks!!

kbenjamin,

Welcome to the MrExcel forum.

What version of Excel and Windows are you using?


Sample raw data:

Excel 2007
	D	AH	AI
1
2	1	0.12	8.25
3		0.12	8.25
4		0.12	8.25
5		0.12	8.25
6	1	0.01	1.85
7		0.01	1.85
8
Sheet1

After the macro:

Excel 2007
	D	AH	AI
1
2	1	0.12	8.25
3
4
5
6	1	0.01	1.85
7
8
Sheet1

Please TEST this FIRST in a COPY of your workbook (always make a backup copy before trying new code, you never know what you might lose).

1. Copy the below code
2. Open your NEW workbook
3. Press the keys ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
4. Press the keys ALT + I to activate the Insert menu
5. Press M to insert a Standard Module
6. Where the cursor is flashing, paste the code
7. Press the keys ALT + Q to exit the Editor, and return to Excel
8. To run the macro from Excel press ALT + F8 to display the Run Macro Dialog. Double Click the macro's name to Run it.

Option Explicit
Sub Check_D_empty_cells()
' hiker95, 01/15/2014, ME750795
Dim c As Range, lr As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
lr = Cells.Find("*", , xlValues, xlWhole, xlByRows, xlPrevious, False).Row
For Each c In Range("D2:D" & lr)
  If c = "" Then
    Range("AH" & c.Row).Resize(, 2).ClearContents
  End If
Next c
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Before you use the macro with Excel 2007 or newer, save your workbook, Save As, a macro enabled workbook with the file extension .xlsm

Then run the Check_D_empty_cells macro.

Welcome to the board and Hiker95 has already provided you a VBA solution as you requested, but being the simple person I am (do know VBA yet... ) and for future use here is how I would do it. Insert a new column A and auto number it from 1 to the end of your data. then Sort all data based on column D so that all the cells containing 1 are at the top, all the remaining rows you can simply highlight and delete the data. and then resort all you data based on your column A numbering and then delete A. perhaps not as clean and fast as a VBA macro but then again if Hiker95 is not around to help this is how you can accomplish it.

kbenjamin,

With the same screenshots as my last reply.

Here is a shorter, and, probably faster macro without any looping.

Please TEST this FIRST in a COPY of your workbook (always make a backup copy before trying new code, you never know what you might lose).

Option Explicit
Sub Check_D_empty_cells_V2()
' hiker95, 01/15/2014, ME750795
Dim lr As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
lr = Cells.Find("*", , xlValues, xlWhole, xlByRows, xlPrevious, False).Row
On Error Resume Next
Range("D2:D" & lr).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Offset(, 30).ClearContents
Range("D2:D" & lr).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Offset(, 31).ClearContents
On Error GoTo 0
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Before you use the macro with Excel 2007 or newer, save your workbook, Save As, a macro enabled workbook with the file extension .xlsm

Then run the Check_D_empty_cells_V2 macro.
