-=Scan and replace=-

[TAPAKAH]

Hi guys,

Trying to do the basic search and destroy, but with a little modification.
I have one column where values repeat:

Example:

1
2
4
5
1

So a macro would start at the top, look at first row, and then go down the column and look if there is same value somewhere down the column and if found replace it with a 0. Then it would come back go to the second row and do the same untill the end.

I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

Something like this?

Sub SearchandDestroy()
Const strColumn As String = "A"
Dim cell As Range, cell2 As Range, lngLastRow As Long

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    lngLastRow = Range(strColumn & 65536).End(xlUp).Row
    For Each cell In Range(strColumn & 1 & ":" & strColumn & lngLastRow - 1)
        For Each cell2 In Range(cell.Offset(1, 0).Address & ":" & strColumn & lngLastRow)
            If cell = cell2 Then cell2 = 0
        Next
    Next
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Another possible solution....

Suppose you have data in column A staring from A2 (column header in A1).
The following code should suit your request.

It copies a unique copy of data soon after the last row of data and delete above data.

Sub ScanAndReplace()
Dim MyRange As Range
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
On Error GoTo 0
If Range("A2") <> "" And Range("A3") <> "" Then
Set MyRange = Range(Range("A2"), Range("A2").End(xlDown))
Range(Range("A1"), Range("A2").End(xlDown)).AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, Unique:=True
MyRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy Destination:=Cells(MyRange.Rows.Count + 2, 1)
ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
MyRange.Rows.Delete shift:=xlUp
End If
End Sub

Sorry...

I didn't read to replace with 0

 

[TAPAKAH]

is it possible to tell the macro to not match the case(lower or upper) of the text i believe it is "MatchCase:=False".... but i am not sure where to put it.

Replace statement

If cell = cell2 Then cell2 = 0

with

If LCase(cell) = LCase(cell2) Then cell2 = 0
