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

How can I Export and import Excel Macro from an Excel Template in Centralized location? Whenever user opens the Template this code gets imported at runtime.
All macro code in file1 kept in Shared drive.
Whenever any user opens Template it gets all the code for macro from this Shared Drive --> template.
For that I need to have some code within all the templates to get this code from shared drive.
i) Importing macros
ii) have all code in VBS format in the shared drive
But for First solution it not working. I will show you what I have worked on and could you please tell me what is wrong.
Please find the code which i have worked on however has issues with it when import line is execute. It doesn't perform any action though it executes that line.

'Call CopyMacroModule(Workbooks("Smoke_Test.xls"), "Object Repository")
Call CloseSourceExcel
End Sub
Sub CopyMacroModule(SourceWB As Workbook, strModuleName As String)
strFolder = SourceWB.Path
arun = ThisWorkbook.Path
arun1 = ThisWorkbook.Name
Set Targetwb = ThisWorkbook
MsgBox arun1
temp = arun & "\" & arun1
MsgBox temp
If Len(strFolder) = 0 Then strFolder = CurDir
strFolder = strFolder & "\"
strTempFile = strFolder & "tmpexport.bas"
MsgBox strFolder
SourceWB.VBProject.VBComponents(1).Export (strTempFile)
MsgBox ActiveWorkbook.Name
Targetwb.VBProject.VBComponents.Import (strTempFile)

ThisWorkbook.Save
Kill strTempFile
End Sub

Thankyou.
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?
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
i am trying to make a formula conditional on wether another cell is blank or has a text string in it. more specifically i want to make a formula output if a specific cell has text in it and leave the cell blank if it does not
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'?
