If there is a value in a certain column range, copying it to same row in another column

[Dan87]

Hi All,

Before I state my problem I just want to say that I have learned alot from this forum and thanks in advance to whoever answers!

So I've looked around the forums and I've not really found a solution which works exactly.

Say my sheet is set up as below
A B C
1 AAA 12 0
2 BBB 14 0
3 CCC 0 5
4 DDD 2 4

Column C has formulas the whole way down that either returns zero or a value. In the instances where there are values, I want the code to copy the value from column C and paste it into the respective row in column B. If the Value in column C is 0, then I want the value is column B to remain as is.

I'm not sure how to approach this problem, some sort of loops which goes through and checks would probably be the best way but I'm not sure how to proceed. Any input would be much appreciated!

Solving this with a formula the way you suggest may cause circular references. Instead, why not add column D:
=if(c1>0,c1,b1)
Then hide column B?

This per the OP:

Code:
Sub moveValue()
Dim sh As Worksheet, lr As Long, rng As Range
Set sh = ActiveSheet
lr = sh.Cells(Rows.Count,3).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = sh.Range("C2:C" & lr)
For Each c In rng
If c > 0 Then
c.Ofset(0, -1) = c.Value
End If
Next
End Sub
Code:

This might be what was meant:

Code:
Sub moveValue()
Dim sh As Worksheet, lr As Long, rng As Range
Set sh = ActiveSheet
lr = sh.Cells(Rows.Count,3).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = sh.Range("C2:C" & lr)
For Each c In rng
If c > 0 Then
c.Ofset(0, -1) = c.Value
c = 0
End If
Next
End Sub

Here is a non-looping macro for you to consider...

Sub ReplaceColBwithNonZeroColC()
  Dim UnusedColumn As Long, LastRow As Long
  Const StartRow As Long = 1
  LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
  UnusedColumn = Cells.Find(What:="*", SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
                 SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, LookIn:=xlFormulas).Column + 1
  With Cells(StartRow, UnusedColumn).Resize(LastRow - StartRow + 1)
    .FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC3=0,RC2,RC3)"
    .Offset(, 2 - UnusedColumn).Value = .Value
    .Clear
  End With
End Sub

Thanks for the code JLGwhiz, this works to transfer the values to the right column, however it replaces the values in B with 0 if the value in C is zero, whereas if C is 0, I want it to leave the original value in B. Would you have a workaround for that? I'm guessing some kind of IF statement but I don't seem to be getting it

Ignore! Works perfectly thank you everyone for your input!
