Calculating Min,Max,Quartile in dynamic ranges

Hi Everyone ,

I need to calculate Quartile 1-2-3, Min/Max values and value for Z in a specific column. There are multiple workbooks and worksheets. That specific column might be different in each worksheet so I need to ask user to select the range which will be used to do the calculations then process would create a summary tab to list the values for each worksheet like a,b,c,d etc.. as shown below.

Workbooks come from different data sources every quarter so I need to use a vba script which would do the calculation in active worksheet for the range selected by user. Would you be able to help me on this?:help I attached a sample file.

	Z	Min	Q1	Q2	Q3	Max
a	48.5	44.7	55.6	61.05	64.725	90.9
b	74.5	61.4	78	81.4	83.1	100
c	24.5	21.9	34.0	39.45	44.9	87.9
d	48	32.5	48.9	53.8	59.7	96.4

Which part of the sheets is to be calculated / generated by the macro? The yellow block? And the user is to indicate the column? Is the macro allowed to put the block in a consistent place (like at least on the same row)? Do you need these yellow blocks at all or can the values be generated on the fly and only the summary table generated?

How many sheets will there be? Do you want to have the macro ask for the column for each sheet or could the user just enter the column letter in a cell (say A1) or mark the column with an 'X' in the first row of the column? (personally I would think the last two options would be preferable over having to select, click OK, select, click OK, etc)

Thanks very much for your reply sijpie..

I don't need that yellow parts. I only need a summary table. The thing is there will be many workbooks and each workbook might have different number of worksheets. Macro should calculate Minimum,Maximum and 3 quartiles for defined range. Also there is a specific region I call it Z in this case. I need macro to pull the value for Z from defined range and paste into summary table. The other thing is how users would specify the range in the process..As you said marking first and last row of the column might be the preferable option. In that case, if there are some blank rows in that range macro wouldn't get the blank row as the last row of the range would it?

I really appreciate for your help.

The user only would need to give the column. Finding the last entry in a column is very easy. But you have to decide if the user does that on his/her own or if the macro has to guide it (which means more clicks). What is your preference? I can also do it that the macro will flag up and ask the user for those sheets which he hasn't marked the column. But then I need to know if the user is entering the column letter in a fixed cell (say A1, or B1 depending on headers), or if he is marking with an X in a fixed row (this needs to be a free row, depending on headers).

Let's start with making the process work for one workbook, with a number of sheets with not necessarily the same layout.

hmmm..If the row needs to be free then I was thinking he could insert a row at the top and put an X say in D1. However There might be some other figures in that column which shouldn't be included to the calculation. Lets say the range start D12:D163 and d9 and d10 have got some figures which shouldn't be included so he needs to select D12:D163. Is that possible to guide the user asking like "Please highlight the range in each worksheet to calculate the figures"? If there are 5 worksheets then he would select that specific range in each worksheets then macro would create the summary tab? Is it possible like that or I'm making it too complicated? :think:

many thanks!

No, that is easily doable.
On what criterium is the choice of column made? Can that be automated at all?

Unfortunately user needs to decide which column should be included to the process as all workbooks come from different sources and they all have got a different data structure:(:( I am afraid that part can't be automated at all; but still good. I mean to be able to guide the user to highlight the ranges and run the data into the summary tab.That's perfect. If I learn how to do this I'll keep practicing on this. I know basics in VBA as had the online training and need to have more trainings..hopefully get there one day:whip

This should do the trick on a single workbook. Try it on an example workbook) like the one you posted)
Read the comments to see what and how it works, and what you need to modify ( like the two constants possibly) for your real workbooks.

The user only needs to select the first cell of the column to be processed. The cells above it are ignored, as is the summary row at the bottom.

Hi sijpie

Many many thanks for the code!! That's brilliant! Thanks very much for your time..I really appreciate it:bow::bow:

Please see feedback here:

I tried it on the spreadsheet I posted. Code does all calculations and creates the summary tab when I select the 1st cell of the range in each worksheet. It allows me to select whole range as well like from AA6 to AA157 :yes However I deleted the last row which shows total figures in each tab and it gave Run-time error "91" object variable not set ?? debugging takes to below line..:(



[Code Else ' get value at intersection of column and row
vOut(1, 2) = Intersect(rInp, wsIn.Rows(rFnd.Row)).Value[/Code]

I tested it in another workbook too. In this case I replaced Z with the actual word however It's in column A instead of column C so it couldn't find the figures for "Z" and left it blank. I was wondering is it possible to search it in whole worksheet instead of column C? Is it difficult?:think:

Code:

---

Const iCCC As Integer = 3 'Column C where sZZZ is to be searched

If your sheets sometimes do not have the summary row, then amend it as follows. Find this part in the code:

Code:

---

            ' extend range to end of sheet
            lR = wsIn.Cells(Rows.Count, rInp.Column).End(xlUp).Row '  last row, now skip summary
            lR = wsIn.Cells(lR, rInp.Column).End(xlUp).Row '

---

replace these three lines with:

Code:

---

            ' extend range to end of sheet
            lR = wsIn.Cells(Rows.Count, rInp.Column).End(xlUp).Row '  last row, now skip summary if exists
            If wsIn.Cells(lR, rInp.Column).offset(-1,0) = vbNullstring then  ' there is a summary line,
                lR = wsIn.Cells(lR, rInp.Column).End(xlUp).Row 'exclude it
            End If

---

That is where after finding the last row it checks if it is a summary line (on its own) if so it goes up more to exclude the summary line.


OK, now about finding the 'Z' anywhere on the sheet: Find this code:

Code:

---

            'find the 'Z'
            Set rSrch = wsIn.Columns(iCCC)

---

and replace it with

Code:

---

            'find the 'Z'
            Set rSrch = wsIn.Cells

---

You now are saying look in all cells

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :bow::bow::bow:

Sorry for the late response..It takes time for me to understand and test it. Just changing one word Columns to Cells does the job..Coding is like a magic!:thumb


PS: There are some blank rows between the range and total row so it's not included to the calculation but if I delete total row, it doesn't give an error any more..

brilliant!Many many thanks again..:cloud9:

Hi sijpie ,

I was wondering if you could help me about modifying this script you wrote before?: pray2:: pray2:

Currently this script gives user the option to select a range in each worksheet when the range is selected then it moves to the next worksheet. Is it possible to add a warning message before moving to the next tab? The thing is some worksheets require multiple calculations based on more than one range. Can we add yes no message box saying "would you like to move to the next worksheet?" If no was clicked then it would ask to select another range in the same worksheet if yes was clicked then it would move to the next tab??:think: I don't know if there is another way to be able to select multiple ranges for the calculations in a single worksheet.:doh:

This should do the trick on a single workbook. Try it on an example workbook) like the one you posted)
Read the comments to see what and how it works, and what you need to modify ( like the two constants possibly) for your real workbooks.

The user only needs to select the first cell of the column to be processed. The cells above it are ignored, as is the summary row at the bottom.

---

This should be possible, but I do not have time to look at it at the moment. Maybe later in the week or after Xmas.

Thanks very much for your reply sijpie. Yep sure whenever you have time for it. Meanwhile I'll keep working on it.:cloud9:

try this. It allows the user to select non contiguous ranges . If (s)he selects one cell then the column is used if selecting sepearate ranges (using the mouse & ctrl key) then those ranges are used. So cells T5:T89, W90:W95, T96:T107 can be selected (all at the same time).

It still automatically goes to the next sheet. Will that be sufficient?

Hi sijpie

I just got the notification yesterday for your reply. However the date shows 01/01/2014. So sorry for the late response if you replied this thread on 01/01. Normally I check my threads when I get the notification to my personal email. I'll test the script and will get back to you asap. Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year. Also thanks very much for not forgetting about the thread and helping me on this. :cloud9:

I've just run the script. That's perfect:thumbhowever summary table results with one calculation for each worksheet. If there are multiple selections then it should result with separate calculations. Say there are 2 different ranges in a worksheet then summary table should list that worksheet twice with 2 different calculations. Is that possible? :think:: pray2:

This should do the trick on a single workbook. Try it on an example workbook) like the one you posted)
Read the comments to see what and how it works, and what you need to modify ( like the two constants possibly) for your real workbooks.

The user only needs to select the first cell of the column to be processed. The cells above it are ignored, as is the summary row at the bottom.

Anything you can do manually is possible. But I can only look at it next week. Can you show a summary table how it would be with two ranges selected? Please colour the selected ranges so I can see how it sticks together.

Hi sijpie ,

It's amazing to be able to do everything with VBA instead of doing manually!:cloud9:

I coloured the selected ranges in each tab and showed them in summary table as you said. Please see attachment called vbax sample quartile5.

I appreciate your help very much. Many many thanks.:bow: I promise I'll go through each single line to be able to understand the script:yes

OK, sorry for the delay, suddenly remembered it was still outstanding. The code has't changed much. I now check the input range to see if it has more than one area (non-contiguous range), and for each area it checks if the are more columns and runs the formulas for each column. For ease of checking in the output table the columns used are mentioned (rather than jsut Range1, Range2). The formatting sub has changed for the extra column
