Check Same Cell On Each Worksheet & If Not Empty, Call Vba Macro - Excel

View Content
Hello,
I have encountered some difficulty in my attempt to create a loop to run a subroutine in the sheets in a workbook. As it stands, I need the loop to do the following:
1. Start on the first sheet of the workbook and identify if Cell (2,1) is blank or not. If that cell is blank, the macro moves to the next sheet. If that cell is not blank, the macro calls forth a subroutine to run in that spreadsheet.
2. When this subroutine has been run, the macro moves to the next sheet. It then re-evaluates whether Cell (2,1) is blank or not for each sheet in the workbook.
3. Once the code has come to the last sheet in the workbook and has evaluated whether Cell (2,1) is blank or not (i.e., to decide if the other subroutines needs to be called), I want to exit the loop.
Right now, I have tried to create a variable to count the number of sheets on which I have run the subroutine. In other words, I do not count the sheets that don't have data. If that count variable is less than the index number of the final sheet, it exits the loop. However, when I run the code listed below, I encounter an error. Can anyone suggest another way to get this macro to do what I need it to or to re-organize my current code so that the loop runs properly?
Thanks!
VB:

Sub LoopSheets() 
    Dim ws As Worksheet 
    Dim countsheet As Integer 
    Dim wrk As Workbook 
     
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False 
    countsheet = 1 
    Sheets(1).Select 
    For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets 
        If IsEmpty(Cells(2, 1).Value) Then 
            ActiveSheet.Next.Select 
            If ws.Index < countsheet Then 
                Exit For 
            End If 
        End If 
        If Cells(2, 1).Value <> Not Empty Then 
            Call transpose 
            countsheet = countsheet + 1 
            If ws.Index > countsheet Then 
                Exit For 
            End If 
        End If 
        ActiveSheet.Next.Select 
    Next ws 
     
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True 
End Sub

Check For Empty Cells In A Column And Change Formula When Cell Is Not Empty - Excel

View Content
Hi friends,

I have a workbook, where I need to copy a particular formula in a column containing lot of data. Since the column is long, I don't wish to drag and copy the formula. The easiest thing I could do is record a macro for few rows and edit it to fill the entire column, but the problem is that there are some empty cells in the column where I don't want to copy the formula.

Hence, I need to check if the cell is empty. If that is empty, then don't fill, otherwise fill.


How can I achieve this? Can anyone help me please?

Copy Excel Cell To Cell In Word Table Using Excel Macro - Excel

View Content
I have a macro in excel that copies a cell, opens a word document, moves the
cursor to a specific location, then pastes what was copied. After that it
goes to a new location in the word document (which is in a table), goes back
to the excel spreadsheet which is still active, copies a new cell then
returns to the word document to paste that. So far I have tried numerous
coding to get the data to paste but it hasn't happened. Can someone please
tell me what I am doing wrong?
Here is the code:

Range("A1").Select
Selection.Copy
Set wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Open("Mydoc.doc")
wrdApp.Visible = True
wrdApp.Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=2
wrdApp.Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=45Windows
wrdApp.Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault)
wrdApp.Selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdLine, Count:=9
Windows("Myexcel").Activate
Range("A4").Select
Selection.Copy
wrdApp.Selection.PasteExcelTable False, False, False

How Can Excel Make A Cell Empty Without Making It Na()? - Excel

View Content
I want to preserve the "empty" status of cells from one sheet to another so
that when they are plotted or averaged they behave correctly. For example,
the initial sheet has some values that are not declared (read as ",,," in a
CSV file). A second sheet is used to assemble parts of the first sheet for
analysis and uses "paste link". However, "paste link" makes empty cells from
the first sheet into zeros on the second. I can use an IF() to test for zero
(but not empty?) and then make them either "" or na(). However, making them
"" is fine for average() but not good for a chart, which assumes they are
zero. Making them NA() is good for charts but no good for average(). Is there
a function that simply replicates the keystroke of 'delete'?
