Thread: CTRL + Shift + Down in a Macro

  1. #1

    CTRL + Shift + Down in a Macro

    I saw a similar post on this forum, but when I applied the techniques I was unsuccessful.

    I'd like excel to start on row U2 > Type "No" > apply to all rows that have information.

    I tried adding .End(xlDown).Select but encountered some errrors..



    Range("U2").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "No"
    Range("U2").Select
    Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("U2:U105")
    Range("U2:U105").Select

    Hi and welcome to the forum.

    The syntax for autoFill is:

    Sub Macro1()
        Range("U2") = "No"
        Range("U2").AutoFill Destination:=Range("U2:U106"), Type:=xlFillDefault
    End Sub

    Didn't work... But I'm probably doing it wrong. Capture.PNG

    It does work. What is going wrong? Where have you put the code? Have you tried stepping through your code with F8?

    Can you see the image I uploaded on my last post? I highlighted where I put it

    Thanks for the help.

    Range("U2").Value = "No"
    Set myRng = Range("U2", Range("U2").End(xlDown))
    'Set myRng = Range("U2", Range("U2").End(xlDown).Offset(-1)) 'if it's filling too many cells try this one instead of the line above.
    Range("U2").AutoFill Destination:=myRng

    Do I replace the current code with that? If so, where should I put that? Or do I add that to the bottom of the existing code?

    Here's the current code:

    Range("U2").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "No"
    Range("U2").Select
    Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("U2:U105")
    Range("U2:U105").Select

    it replaces all of it… unless you want the filled in cells selected when it's finished?!

    Almost got it! See attached screen shot.... It's applying to all rows, where I want it to stop, is wherever the data stops on other lines..

    In this example, the data stops on line 64 - but tomorrow the data may stop on line 50, then the next day 24. Hope that makes sense, and thank you so much for your help!!

    Is there one column you can reliably depend on having data all the way to the bottom, without intervening blank cells? If so, which column?

    Hard to tell in that screenshot, but it looks like column "S" is complete with data
    Range(Range("S2"), Range("S2").End(xlDown)).Offset(0, 2) = "No"
    But, let us say that Column "S" had some empty cells in it, but the last cell was not empty. Then
    Range(Range("S2"), Cells(Rows.Count, "S").End(xlUp)).Offset(0, 2) = "No"
    Now, let us imagine that some other column, even in another sheet or workbook, was complete with data. Say... Column "X"
    Dim LastRow As Long
    LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "X").End(xlUp).Row
    Range("U2:U" & LastRow) = "No"
    I expect the student to do their homework and find all the errrors I leeve in.

    This plus P45Cal's code worked! Thank you all for your help!

    Why when I change "S2" to "A2" or "B2" does the script stop working?

    I can post my entire script here...But need to know what brackets to use for this forum?

    I'm trying to apply all rows still, but sometimes the S column is missing data, so I want to change to a column that always has data, like A or B column.

    That worked, thank you.

    Now if I'd like to implement this same logic onto different spreadsheets with different types of data - would I use the code you just provided? Or would I need that plus additional code?

    Thanks!

    I tried implementing the same but was not successful.

    Here is the full code. I need to auto-fill H and I columns. All other columns are fully populated.

        Range("H2").Select
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
        Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("H2:H139274")
        Range("H2:H139274").Select
        Range("I2").Select
        ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(RC[-6],Blacklist!C[-8],1,FALSE)"
        Range("I2").Select
        Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("I2:I139274")
        Range("I2:I139274").Select
        Range("I1").Select
        Selection.AutoFilter
    End Sub
