Solved: countif? within a loop

Hi guys, Im turning to google and you guys as my boss is on leave.
I'm using excel 2003.
I have written a macro which basically get data from a large spreadsheet and inserts it into a standard template.

basically there a some rows I don't want to go through the loop as the require manual massaging, i have marked these rows with an "X" in column 2 (B), all others have been left blank.

See below for what I've got so far

[VBA]Sub Macro1()

any help is greatly appreicated.
thanks

It seems to me that there is probably a fundamental flaw in your code.

Icount does not appear to be used to iterate through anything with the result that all that would happen would be that you would populate the template and the save it, overwriting the previous file 309 times.

Also, i does not appear to be doing anything.

Also, I cannot believe that you want to open the workbook and write it every time through the loop, before and after would make more sense would it not?

thanks guys, I had some else write the loop portion, cause I'm only new to visual basic.

it seems to work to get all the data out, but now that I want to exclude some data it doesn't - mainly cause I don't know what to put in.

before & after probably would make more sense, but I have no idea what that means so I'll go search the forum/consult Google and get back to you

thanks guys

Why don't you post example workbooks, tell us what needs to be done, and we can cut you some decent code.

here is the template.
the fluro green cells are those auto filled by the macro.

I'll put some sample data up soon as I edit the post, as some of the data could be classed as sensitive I'll have to edit names etc.

cheers

Here is the data file.

the macro collects the information in the section, license, name & NE for the top portion of the template. then get the AU column from each year. saves each sheet using the section_license_name as the file name

this process is then repeated for the entire sheets (there is more rows of data [finished on row 316] - but I think this is enough to get the idea)

we made a decision to only collect the AU, as that way we can manually input the other data using the formulas in the template (in case there is more data to go in - there shouldn't be though).

In Column B, I've single out the one I don't want within the loop as the license has changed hands in the time period and require manual manipulation.

hope this is enough to go off.

thanks in advance

The following is designed to be included in a module in the Template for VBA forum.
[vba]Sub GetData()
Dim wbsource As Workbook
Dim wbtarget As Workbook
Dim rngsource As Range
Dim rngtarget As Range
Dim i As Long, j As Long, k As Long
Set wbtarget = ActiveWorkbook
Set wbsource = Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\Doug\Downloads\data template_for VBA forum.xls")
Set rngsource = wbsource.Sheets(1).Range("A1")
Set rngtarget = wbtarget.Sheets(1).Range("A1")
For i = 8 To wbsource.Worksheets(1).UsedRange.Rows.Count
rngtarget.Offset(0, 4).Value = rngsource.Offset(i - 1, 3)
rngtarget.Offset(1, 4).Value = rngsource.Offset(i - 1, 4)
rngtarget.Offset(2, 4).Value = rngsource.Offset(i - 1, 5)
rngtarget.Offset(2, 13).Value = rngsource.Offset(i - 1, 6)
k = 8
For j = 11 To 53 Step 3
rngtarget.Offset(j, 5).Value = rngsource.Offset(i - 1, k).Value
k = k + 13
Next j
wbtarget.SaveAs rngsource.Offset(i - 1, 3) & " - " & rngsource.Offset(i - 1, 4)
Next i
wbsource.Close
End Sub
[/vba]

You will need to change the path to the data template_for VBA forum file

It saves each file with a file name created by concatentating the Section and Licence Reference

got that working. cheers.

any ideas for the loop minus the "X'

thanks Doug

[vba]
For i = 8 To wbsource.Worksheets(1).UsedRange.Rows.Count
If rngsource.Offset(i - 1, 1) = "X" Then GoTo SkipThisRow
.
.
.
SkipThisRow:
Next i [/vba]

If you want the files saved with a concatenation of Section, Licence and Name, then use:

[VBA]wbtarget.SaveAs rngsource.Offset(i - 1, 3) & " _ " & rngsource.Offset(i - 1, 4) & " _ " & rngsource.Offset(i - 1, 5)
[/VBA]

instead of:

[VBA]wbtarget.SaveAs rngsource.Offset(i - 1, 3) & " - " & rngsource.Offset(i - 1, 4)
[/VBA]

thanks guys. all working well now

kudos to all involved

how do I change the tittle to solved?
