delete record using Macro in excel spreed sheet

Lillian · Nov 10, 2003

Dave:

Thanks for all your effort, I did use the adding code
you gave to me, can not tell is fast or not, anyway,
thank you so much.

Dave, where I can get good excel Macro on the web that
way I can learn more?

the easy question first.

An example showing the difference between the .value and .text.

Say you have 123456.323 in A1. But you have it

formatted as "$#,##0.00", it'll

show as: $123,456.32

So if I concatenate with .value, I lose all that nice formatting. But if I use
the .text, it'll show up just like it appears in the cell.

This is useful with dates, too. .value = 37931 could be formatted as a date
(mm/dd/yyyy) to show 11/06/2003.

(It's not really Format|Cells|Number tab|Text kind of formatting.)

I just ran a test of that merge version (testme02). I put simple data in
A11600. It ran pretty quickly.

You can speed it up by adding this to the top of the code:

Dim CalcMode As Long
CalcMode = Application.Calculation
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Application.screenupdating = false

and near the bottom:

Application.Calculation = CalcMode
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

It'll stop the flickering of the display, too (.screenupdating = false).

Dave:

I use that merge macro, it take a while to run, not like
concatenate one, it only one second, then I got the
result I need. thanks.

I have one more question when you said in previous email:

if your data needs to be formatted

nicely, you could use:

.Value = .Text _
& " " & .Offset(0, 1).Text _
& " " & .Offset(0,

Click to expand...

2).Text

how do I write the macro to formatted D E F columns to
Text, before I run your merge macro script, maybe data in
column D,E,F did not formatted as you said, that why take
a long time to run, as you mention as above. did this
formatted macro need to run separately or they can
combined into merge marco?

Thank you again, your are wonderful.

If you want to delete those columns, then you have to
uncomment this line (just
get rid of the leading apostrophe):

'.Value = .Value

It's essentially copy|paste special|values.

I use the concatenate one for the test,it work out

column, it is refering to =E1&" "&F1&" "&G1, if I

what
the D column become like #REF, is anyway after we run
this then do somekind of pastspecial in H column with

Your are a genius. thanks for all the effort.

Do you mean merge like in merge cells or do you mean
merge like in concatenate?

I'm gonna guess concatenate.

I'd insert a new column D and use a formula that did
the
concatenation, then
convert to values, then delete the original D:F (now
E:G).

Option Explicit
Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "d").End
(xlUp).Row
.Columns("D").Insert
With .Range("d1:d" & LastRow)
.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1] & "" "" & RC[2]
& "" "" & RC[3]"
'.Value = .Value
End With
.Range("e:g").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
'.Range("e:g").EntireColumn.Delete
End With
End Sub

I used the last row of column D to determine the last
row to get a formula.
Change this to a column that always has data.

And I don't know what's in those columns, but it's not
always best to
concatenate and delete. As you can see it's really
easy
to put things
together. It's not always as easy to separate them
into
the correct fields.

It might be better to leave the formulas and just hide
the columns that the
formulas use.

========
Did you really mean Merge (as in Format|Cells|Aligment
tab)?

Then maybe something like:

Option Explicit
Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim iRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "d").End
(xlUp).Row

For iRow = 1 To LastRow
With .Cells(iRow, "D")
.Value = .Value _
& " " & .Offset(0,

Click to expand...

1).Value
_

& " " & .Offset(0, 2).Value
.Offset(0, 1).Resize(1,
2).ClearContents
End With
Next iRow

.Range("d1:f" & LastRow).Merge across:=True
End With
End Sub

And one last thing, if your data needs to be formatted
nicely, you could use:

.Value = .Text _
& " " & .Offset(0, 1).Text _
& " " & .Offset(0, 2).Text

to pick up the format from the cell.

Or you could specify the format you want:
.Value = .Value _
& " " & format(.Offset(0,
1).Value,"mm/dd/yyyy") _
& " " & format(.Offset(0,
2).Value,"$0.00")
with the Format function.

Inside the worksheet, you'd use something like: =text
(a1,"$0.00")

Dave:

Now I have all the data I need, is anyway to
merge
columnD,ColumnE,ColumnF together, how to write the
macro
to do that, I try to use excel merge cell, it did
not
work, because columnD,E,F has different type of
data.

thanks for all the help.

I'm not sure if you got your problem solved, but
modifying Ron's code slightly:

Option Explicit
Sub Test()
Dim r As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
For r = .UsedRange.Rows
(.UsedRange.Rows.Count).Row To 1 Step -1
If Application.CountA(.Rows(r)) = 0 _
Or .Cells(r, "A").Value = "----" _
Or LCase(.Cells(r, "A").Value)
= "problem"
_
Or Trim(.Cells(r, "F").Value) = ""
Then
.Rows(r).Delete
End If
Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

On top of what Tom Ogilvy wrote, I liked to lurk in these newsgroups.

And when you get a few bucks to spare, you may want to get a book:

Debra Dalgleish has a big ole list:
http://www.contextures.com/xlbooks.html

John Walkenbach's is a nice one to start with. John Green (and others) is nice,
too. See if you can find them in your local bookstore and you can choose what
one you like best.

Dave:

I have another question, since I like your knowledge
so much, would you mind I ask you another one,

1).I have one worksheet need to delete the column from
columnS to columnAD, also if column is empty or columns
is "0" or column is "NA: need to delete as well. how to
write the macro for that.

2).I have another worksheet need to delete the columnR to
columnEE, except columnS and columnEF, how to write the
macro for this.

Or you could specify the format you want:
.Value = .Value _
& " " & format(.Offset (0,
1).Value,"mm/dd/yyyy") _
& " " & format(.Offset (0,
2).Value,"$0.00")

Inside the worksheet, you'd use something like: =text

the easy one first.

#2. Record a macro when you do it manually. I selected R, and T:EE, then
rightclick|Delete and got something that looked like:

Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()
Range("R:R,T:EE").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
End Sub

(deleting from the right to left will mean you don't have to adjust the column
letters after the deletion.)

But you could change it to something like:

Option Explicit
Sub Macro1A()
With Activesheet
.range("R:R,T:EE").entirecolumn.delete
end with
End Sub

And column EF was outside of the range. Did you mean that?

And #1.

To delete the columns that are empty:

Option Explicit
Sub testme01()

Dim myCol As Long
Dim delRng As Range

With ActiveSheet
For myCol = .Range("AD1").Column To .Range("S1").Column Step -1
If Application.CountA(.Columns(myCol)) = 0 Then
If delRng Is Nothing Then
Set delRng = .Cells(1, myCol)
Else
Set delRng = Union(delRng, .Cells(1, myCol))
End If
End If

Next myCol

If delRng Is Nothing Then
'do nothing
Else
delRng.EntireColumn.Delete
End If
End With

End Sub

But I'm confused about the n/a stuff and 0 stuff. Are you checking one cell,
all cells or if any of them in the column are 0 or N/A?

And do you mean #n/a as in the result from =na() or do you mean the text N/A
(typed in)?

Dave:

I have another question, since I like your knowledge
so much, would you mind I ask you another one,

1).I have one worksheet need to delete the column from
columnS to columnAD, also if column is empty or columns
is "0" or column is "NA: need to delete as well. how to
write the macro for that.

2).I have another worksheet need to delete the columnR to
columnEE, except columnS and columnEF, how to write the
macro for this.

thanks for all the help.

the easy question first.

An example showing the difference between the .value and .text.

Say you have 123456.323 in A1. But you have it

Click to expand...

formatted as "$#,##0.00", it'll

show as: $123,456.32

So if I concatenate with .value, I lose all that nice formatting. But if I use
the .text, it'll show up just like it appears in the cell.

This is useful with dates, too. .value = 37931 could

Click to expand...

be
formatted as a date

(mm/dd/yyyy) to show 11/06/2003.

(It's not really Format|Cells|Number tab|Text kind of formatting.)

I just ran a test of that merge version (testme02). I put simple data in
A11600. It ran pretty quickly.

You can speed it up by adding this to the top of the code:

Dim CalcMode As Long
CalcMode = Application.Calculation
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Application.screenupdating = false

and near the bottom:

Application.Calculation = CalcMode
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

It'll stop the flickering of the display, too (.screenupdating = false).

If you want to delete those columns, then you have to
uncomment this line (just
get rid of the leading apostrophe):

'.Value = .Value

It's essentially copy|paste special|values.

I'm gonna guess concatenate.

I'd insert a new column D and use a formula that did
the
concatenation, then
convert to values, then delete the original D:F (now
E:G).

Option Explicit
Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "d").End
(xlUp).Row
.Columns("D").Insert
With .Range("d1:d" & LastRow)
.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1] & "" "" & RC [2]
& "" "" & RC[3]"
'.Value = .Value
End With
.Range("e:g").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
'.Range("e:g").EntireColumn.Delete
End With
End Sub

I used the last row of column D to determine the last
row to get a formula.
Change this to a column that always has data.

And I don't know what's in those columns, but it's
not
always best to
concatenate and delete. As you can see it's really
easy
to put things
together. It's not always as easy to separate them
into
the correct fields.

It might be better to leave the formulas and just
hide
the columns that the
formulas use.

Dave:

When I use the following code:

This only delete from columnR to columnED inside of data,
but the column R to ED still there, it's become empty
column, is anyway can delete them all?

thanks.

It's me again, I have use your old testme02() macro,
try to concatenate from columnI to columnP, I use your
macro testme02(), but I got out of range, here is my code:

Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "i").End(xlUp).Row
.Columns("I:I").Insert
With .Range("I1:I" & LastRow)
.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1] & "" "" & RC[2]
& "" "" & RC[3] & "" "" & RC[4] & "" "" & RC[5] & "" "" &
RC[6] & "" "" & RC[7] & "" "" &RC[8]"
.Value = .Value
End With
.Range("I:Q").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
'.Range("I:Q").EntireColumn.Delete
End With
End Sub

what's wrong with this code, on the columnQ was not empty
column, has some data, is this code will work on this?

thanks.

Dave:

Which Macro which I use to delete is Macro1() or Macro1A?
the question I have was:
#2). I need to deleted any column from R to EE, but not
column S column, then delete EF column, I know EF column
is outside of range?

#1). I need to deleted the column if is empty, also any
of column as "0" and "NA" need to delete as well.

thanks for all the help.

the easy one first.

#2. Record a macro when you do it manually. I

Click to expand...

selected
R, and T:EE, then

rightclick|Delete and got something that looked like:

Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()
Range("R:R,T:EE").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
End Sub

(deleting from the right to left will mean you don't have to adjust the column
letters after the deletion.)

But you could change it to something like:

Option Explicit
Sub Macro1A()
With Activesheet
.range("R:R,T:EE").entirecolumn.delete
end with
End Sub

And column EF was outside of the range. Did you mean that?

And #1.

To delete the columns that are empty:

Option Explicit
Sub testme01()

Dim myCol As Long
Dim delRng As Range

With ActiveSheet
For myCol = .Range("AD1").Column To .Range ("S1").Column Step -1
If Application.CountA(.Columns(myCol)) = 0 Then
If delRng Is Nothing Then
Set delRng = .Cells(1, myCol)
Else
Set delRng = Union(delRng, .Cells

Click to expand...

(1,

myCol))
End If
End If

Next myCol

If delRng Is Nothing Then
'do nothing
Else
delRng.EntireColumn.Delete
End If
End With

End Sub

But I'm confused about the n/a stuff and 0 stuff. Are you checking one cell,
all cells or if any of them in the column are 0 or N/A?

And do you mean #n/a as in the result from =na() or do you mean the text N/A
(typed in)?

An example showing the difference between the .value
and .text.

Say you have 123456.323 in A1. But you have it
formatted as "$#,##0.00", it'll
show as: $123,456.32

So if I concatenate with .value, I lose all that nice
formatting. But if I use
the .text, it'll show up just like it appears in the
cell.

This is useful with dates, too. .value = 37931 could
be
formatted as a date
(mm/dd/yyyy) to show 11/06/2003.

(It's not really Format|Cells|Number tab|Text kind of
formatting.)

I just ran a test of that merge version

Click to expand...

(testme02).

I
put simple data in
A11600. It ran pretty quickly.

You can speed it up by adding this to the top of the
code:

Dim CalcMode As Long
CalcMode = Application.Calculation
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Application.screenupdating = false

and near the bottom:

Application.Calculation = CalcMode
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

It'll stop the flickering of the display, too
(.screenupdating = false).

If you want to delete those columns, then you have
to
uncomment this line (just
get rid of the leading apostrophe):

'.Value = .Value

It's essentially copy|paste special|values.

-----Original Message-----
Do you mean merge like in merge cells or do you
mean
merge like in concatenate?

I'm gonna guess concatenate.

I'd insert a new column D and use a formula that
did
the
concatenation, then
convert to values, then delete the original D:F
(now
E:G).

Option Explicit
Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells (.Rows.Count, "d").End
(xlUp).Row
.Columns("D").Insert
With .Range("d1:d" & LastRow)
.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1] & "" ""

Click to expand...

&
RC

[2]
& "" "" & RC[3]"
'.Value = .Value
End With
.Range("e:g").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
'.Range("e:g").EntireColumn.Delete
End With
End Sub

I used the last row of column D to

Click to expand...

determine
the

last
row to get a formula.
Change this to a column that always has data.

And I don't know what's in those columns, but
it's
not
always best to
concatenate and delete. As you can see it's
really
easy
to put things
together. It's not always as easy to separate
them
into
the correct fields.

It might be better to leave the formulas

Click to expand...

and
just

hide
the columns that the
formulas use.

========
Did you really mean Merge (as in
Format|Cells|Aligment
tab)?

Then maybe something like:

Option Explicit
Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim iRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells (.Rows.Count, "d").End
(xlUp).Row

For iRow = 1 To LastRow
With .Cells(iRow, "D")
.Value = .Value _
& " " & .Offset(0,
1).Value
_
& " " & .Offset(0,
2).Value
.Offset(0, 1).Resize(1,
2).ClearContents
End With
Next iRow

.Range("d1:f" & LastRow).Merge
across:=True
End With
End Sub

And one last thing, if your data needs to be
formatted
nicely, you could use:

.Value = .Text _
& " " & .Offset(0,
1).Text _
& " " & .Offset(0,
2).Text

to pick up the format from the cell.

Or you could specify the format you want:
.Value = .Value _
& " " & format (.Offset
(0,
1).Value,"mm/dd/yyyy") _
& " " & format (.Offset
(0,
2).Value,"$0.00")
with the Format function.

Inside the worksheet, you'd use something like:
=text
(a1,"$0.00")

Excel always has 256 columns (A:IV).

If you delete one, then the others shift over and a new one appears at the far
right. You really can't make them go away completely.

But if you just don't like to see them, you could hide them instead of deleting
them.

Sub Macro2A()
With Activesheet
.range("R:R,T:EE").entirecolumn.hidden = true
end with
End Sub

Dave:

This only delete from columnR to columnED inside of data,

#2. I'd use macro1A. But see my other post first.

#1. I'm still confused about #1. What does any column equal to 0 mean?

Does the whole column have to sum to 0?
like:

3
5
-7
1
-2

Or does it mean that row 1 (or some other row) equals 0?

And same with NA. Do you mean if any cell has NA in it, it should be deleted?
Or if ALL the cells in the column have NA. (Either way, does NA mean you typed
in NA or it was the result of a formula like =vlookup(a1,sheet3!$a$1:$c$999,3,
false) that returns #n/a if no match was found?

how do I write the macro to formatted D E F columns to
Text, before I run your merge macro script, maybe
data
in
column D,E,F did not formatted as you said, that why
take
a long time to run, as you mention as above. did this
formatted macro need to run separately or they can
combined into merge marco?

Thank you again, your are wonderful.

If you want to delete those columns, then you have
to
uncomment this line (just
get rid of the leading apostrophe):

'.Value = .Value

It's essentially copy|paste special|values.

Do you mean merge like in merge cells or do you
mean
merge like in concatenate?

I'm gonna guess concatenate.

I'd insert a new column D and use a formula that
did
the
concatenation, then
convert to values, then delete the original D:F
(now
E:G).

Option Explicit
Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "d").End
(xlUp).Row
.Columns("D").Insert
With .Range("d1:d" & LastRow)
.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1] & "" "" & RC
[2]
& "" "" & RC[3]"
'.Value = .Value
End With
.Range("e:g").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
'.Range("e:g").EntireColumn.Delete
End With
End Sub

I used the last row of column D to determine the
last
row to get a formula.
Change this to a column that always has data.

And I don't know what's in those columns, but
it's
not
always best to
concatenate and delete. As you can see it's
really
easy
to put things
together. It's not always as easy to separate
them
into
the correct fields.

It might be better to leave the formulas and just
hide
the columns that the
formulas use.

========
Did you really mean Merge (as in
Format|Cells|Aligment
tab)?

Then maybe something like:

Option Explicit
Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim iRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "d").End
(xlUp).Row

For iRow = 1 To LastRow
With .Cells(iRow, "D")
.Value = .Value _
& " " & .Offset(0,
1).Value
_
& " " & .Offset(0,
2).Value
.Offset(0, 1).Resize(1,
2).ClearContents
End With
Next iRow

.Range("d1:f" & LastRow).Merge
across:=True
End With
End Sub

And one last thing, if your data needs to be
formatted
nicely, you could use:

.Value = .Text _
& " " & .Offset(0,
1).Text _
& " " & .Offset(0,
2).Text

to pick up the format from the cell.

Or you could specify the format you want:
.Value = .Value _
& " " & format (.Offset
(0,
1).Value,"mm/dd/yyyy") _
& " " & format (.Offset
(0,
2).Value,"$0.00")
with the Format function.

Inside the worksheet, you'd use something like:
=text
(a1,"$0.00")

Dave:

Remember you asked me the question regarding delete "0"
and "NA" in the column field.
the question I have:

1). If any column has "0" or "NA" how to write the macro?
example: on the ColumnK has nothing but 0, columnG has
nothing but "NA", how to write the macro to search those
information?

thanks.

Excel always has 256 columns (A:IV).

If you delete one, then the others shift over and a new one appears at the far
right. You really can't make them go away completely.

But if you just don't like to see them, you could hide them instead of deleting
them.

Sub Macro2A()
With Activesheet
.range("R:R,T:EE").entirecolumn.hidden = true
end with
End Sub

When I use the following code:

Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()
Range("R:R,T:EE").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft

This only delete from columnR to columnED inside of data,
but the column R to ED still there, it's become empty
column, is anyway can delete them all?

It's me again, I have use your old testme02() macro,
try to concatenate from columnI to columnP, I use your
macro testme02(), but I got out of range, here is my code:

Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "i").End (xlUp).Row
.Columns("I:I").Insert
With .Range("I1:I" & LastRow)

.Value = .Value
End With
.Range("I:Q").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
'.Range("I:Q").EntireColumn.Delete
End With
End Sub

what's wrong with this code, on the columnQ was not empty
column, has some data, is this code will work on this?

Which Macro which I use to delete is Macro1() or Macro1A?
the question I have was:
#2). I need to deleted any column from R to EE, but not
column S column, then delete EF column, I know EF column
is outside of range?

#1). I need to deleted the column if is empty, also any
of column as "0" and "NA" need to delete as well.

thanks for all the help.

Lillian
-----Original Message-----
the easy one first.

#2. Record a macro when you do it manually. I
selected
R, and T:EE, then
rightclick|Delete and got something that looked like:

Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()
Range("R:R,T:EE").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
End Sub

(deleting from the right to left will mean you don't
have to adjust the column
letters after the deletion.)

But you could change it to something like:

Option Explicit
Sub Macro1A()
With Activesheet
.range("R:R,T:EE").entirecolumn.delete
end with
End Sub

And column EF was outside of the range. Did you mean
that?

And #1.

To delete the columns that are empty:

Option Explicit
Sub testme01()

Dim myCol As Long
Dim delRng As Range

With ActiveSheet
For myCol = .Range("AD1").Column To .Range
("S1").Column Step -1
If Application.CountA(.Columns(myCol)) = 0
Then
If delRng Is Nothing Then
Set delRng = .Cells(1, myCol)
Else
Set delRng = Union(delRng, .Cells
(1,
myCol))
End If
End If

Next myCol

If delRng Is Nothing Then
'do nothing
Else
delRng.EntireColumn.Delete
End If
End With

End Sub

But I'm confused about the n/a stuff and 0 stuff. Are
you checking one cell,
all cells or if any of them in the column are 0 or N/A?

And do you mean #n/a as in the result from =na() or do
you mean the text N/A
(typed in)?

the easy question first.

An example showing the difference between the .value
and .text.

Say you have 123456.323 in A1. But you have it
formatted as "$#,##0.00", it'll
show as: $123,456.32

So if I concatenate with .value, I lose all that
nice
formatting. But if I use
the .text, it'll show up just like it appears in the
cell.

This is useful with dates, too. .value = 37931
could
be
formatted as a date
(mm/dd/yyyy) to show 11/06/2003.

(It's not really Format|Cells|Number tab|Text kind
of
formatting.)

I just ran a test of that merge version
(testme02).
I
put simple data in
A11600. It ran pretty quickly.

You can speed it up by adding this to the top of the
code:

Dim CalcMode As Long
CalcMode = Application.Calculation
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Application.screenupdating = false

and near the bottom:

Application.Calculation = CalcMode
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

It'll stop the flickering of the display, too
(.screenupdating = false).

I don't think that this is what you want, but I'm still confused:

Option Explicit
Sub testme03()
Dim myRng As Range
Dim delRng As Range
Dim myCol As Range
Dim wks As Worksheet

Set wks = Worksheets("sheet1")

With wks
Set myRng = .UsedRange
For Each myCol In myRng.Columns
If Application.CountIf(myCol, 0) = myCol.Cells.Count Then
If delRng Is Nothing Then
Set delRng = myCol.Cells(1)
Else
Set delRng = Union(myCol.Cells(1), delRng)
End If
End If
Next myCol
End With

If delRng Is Nothing Then
'do nothing
Else
delRng.EntireColumn.Delete
End If

End Sub

This will delete the column if each of the cells in that column (within the
usedrange of the sheet) contain 0.

To get rid of the columns that contain ALL "NA" (not #n/a), change this line:
If Application.CountIf(myCol, 0) = myCol.Cells.Count Then
to
If Application.CountIf(myCol, "NA") = myCol.Cells.Count Then

concatenation, then
convert to values, then delete the original
D:F
(now
E:G).

Option Explicit
Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells
(.Rows.Count, "d").End
(xlUp).Row
.Columns("D").Insert
With .Range("d1:d" & LastRow)
.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1] & "" ""
&
RC
[2]
& "" "" & RC[3]"
'.Value = .Value
End With
.Range("e:g").EntireColumn.Hidden =
True
'.Range("e:g").EntireColumn.Delete
End With
End Sub

I used the last row of column D to
determine
the
last
row to get a formula.
Change this to a column that always has
data.

And I don't know what's in those columns,
but
it's
not
always best to
concatenate and delete. As you can see it's
really
easy
to put things
together. It's not always as easy to
separate
them
into
the correct fields.

It might be better to leave the formulas
and
just
hide
the columns that the
formulas use.

========
Did you really mean Merge (as in
Format|Cells|Aligment
tab)?

Then maybe something like:

Option Explicit
Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim iRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells
(.Rows.Count, "d").End
(xlUp).Row

For iRow = 1 To LastRow
With .Cells(iRow, "D")
.Value = .Value _
& " " & .Offset (0,
1).Value
_
& " " & .Offset (0,
2).Value
.Offset(0, 1).Resize(1,
2).ClearContents
End With
Next iRow

.Range("d1:f" & LastRow).Merge
across:=True
End With
End Sub

And one last thing, if your data needs to be
formatted
nicely, you could use:

.Value = .Text _
& " " & .Offset (0,
1).Text _
& " " & .Offset (0,
2).Text

to pick up the format from the cell.

Or you could specify the format you want:
.Value = .Value _
& " " & format
(.Offset
(0,
1).Value,"mm/dd/yyyy") _
& " " & format
(.Offset
(0,
2).Value,"$0.00")
with the Format function.

Inside the worksheet, you'd use something
like:
=text
(a1,"$0.00")

I read your other post and this'll get both 0's and NA's.

Option Explicit

Set wks = Worksheets("sheet1")

With wks
Set myRng = .UsedRange
For Each myCol In myRng.Columns
If Application.CountIf(myCol, 0) = myCol.Cells.Count _
Or Application.CountIf(myCol, "na") = myCol.Cells.Count Then
If delRng Is Nothing Then
Set delRng = myCol.Cells(1)

If delRng Is Nothing Then
'do nothing
Else
delRng.EntireColumn.Delete

And this will get the blank columns and will speed things up minimally by
not having to count the number of cells in a column over and over. Note
that if you have several blank columns at the left most (such as A and B)
which are not in the UsedRange, these will be left untouched. This is one
reason I used a different approach, but it is an unlikely scenario.

Option Explicit
Sub testme03()
Dim myRng As Range
Dim delRng As Range
Dim myCol As Range
Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim cnt as Long

Set wks = Worksheets("sheet1")

With wks
Set myRng = .UsedRange
cnt = myRng.columns(1).Cells.count
For Each myCol In myRng.Columns
If Application.CountIf(myCol, 0) = cnt _
Or Application.CountIf(myCol, "na") = cnt _
Or Application.CountA(myCol) = 0 Then
If delRng Is Nothing Then
Set delRng = myCol.Cells(1)
Else
Set delRng = Union(myCol.Cells(1), delRng)
End If
End If

Excel always has 256 columns (A:IV).

If you delete one, then the others shift over and a new one appears at the far
right. You really can't make them go away completely.

But if you just don't like to see them, you could hide them instead of deleting
them.

Sub Macro2A()
With Activesheet
.range("R:R,T:EE").entirecolumn.hidden = true
end with
End Sub

Which Macro which I use to delete is Macro1() or Macro1A?
the question I have was:

column S column, then delete EF column, I know EF column

#1). I need to deleted the column if is empty, also any
of column as "0" and "NA" need to delete as well.

the easy one first.

#2. Record a macro when you do it manually. I
selected
R, and T:EE, then
rightclick|Delete and got something that looked like:

Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()
Range("R:R,T:EE").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
End Sub

(deleting from the right to left will mean you don't
have to adjust the column
letters after the deletion.)

But you could change it to something like:

Option Explicit
Sub Macro1A()
With Activesheet
.range("R:R,T:EE").entirecolumn.delete
end with
End Sub

And column EF was outside of the range. Did you mean
that?

And #1.

To delete the columns that are empty:

Option Explicit
Sub testme01()

Dim myCol As Long
Dim delRng As Range

With ActiveSheet
For myCol = .Range("AD1").Column To .Range
("S1").Column Step -1
If Application.CountA(.Columns(myCol)) = 0
Then
If delRng Is Nothing Then
Set delRng = .Cells(1, myCol)
Else
Set delRng = Union (delRng, .Cells
(1,
myCol))
End If
End If

Next myCol

If delRng Is Nothing Then
'do nothing
Else
delRng.EntireColumn.Delete
End If
End With

End Sub

But I'm confused about the n/a stuff and 0 stuff. Are
you checking one cell,
all cells or if any of them in the column are 0 or N/A?

And do you mean #n/a as in the result from =na() or do
you mean the text N/A
(typed in)?

the easy question first.

An example showing the difference between the .value
and .text.

Say you have 123456.323 in A1. But you have it
formatted as "$#,##0.00", it'll
show as: $123,456.32

So if I concatenate with .value, I lose all that
nice
formatting. But if I use
the .text, it'll show up just like it appears in the
cell.

This is useful with dates, too. .value = 37931
could
be
formatted as a date
(mm/dd/yyyy) to show 11/06/2003.

(It's not really Format|Cells|Number tab|Text kind
of
formatting.)

I just ran a test of that merge version
(testme02).
I
put simple data in
A11600. It ran pretty quickly.

You can speed it up by adding this to the top of the
code:

Dim CalcMode As Long
CalcMode = Application.Calculation
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Application.screenupdating = false

and near the bottom:

Application.Calculation = CalcMode
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

It'll stop the flickering of the display, too
(.screenupdating = false).

If you want to delete those columns, then you
have
to
uncomment this line (just
get rid of the leading apostrophe):

'.Value = .Value

It's essentially copy|paste special|values.

Do you mean merge like in merge cells or do
you
mean
merge like in concatenate?

I'm gonna guess concatenate.

I'd insert a new column D and use a formula
that
did
the
concatenation, then
convert to values, then delete the original
D:F
(now
E:G).

Option Explicit
Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells
(.Rows.Count, "d").End
(xlUp).Row
.Columns("D").Insert
With .Range("d1:d" & LastRow)
.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1]

Click to expand...

& "" ""
&

RC
[2]
& "" "" & RC[3]"
'.Value = .Value
End With
.Range ("e:g").EntireColumn.Hidden =
True
'.Range ("e:g").EntireColumn.Delete
End With
End Sub

I used the last row of column D to determine
the
last
row to get a formula.
Change this to a column that always has data.

And I don't know what's in those columns, but
it's
not
always best to
concatenate and delete. As you can see it's
really
easy
to put things
together. It's not always as easy to
separate
them
into
the correct fields.

It might be better to leave the formulas and
just
hide
the columns that the
formulas use.

Probably not wrong, but I could duplicate the problem if the inserted column was
formatted as Text.

So you could add a line so that you wouldn't have to worry about how the new
column J was formatted:

With .Range("J1:J" & LastRow)
.NumberFormat = "General" '<-- added
.FormulaR1C1 = "= your long formula here"
.Value = .Value
End With

I hoping that .numberformat = "general" will fix the problem.

nicely, you could use:

.Value = .Text _
& " " & .Offset (0,
1).Text _
& " " & .Offset (0,
2).Text

how do I write the macro to formatted D E F
columns to
Text, before I run your merge macro script, maybe
data
in
column D,E,F did not formatted as you said, that
why
take
a long time to run, as you mention as above. did
this
formatted macro need to run separately or they
can
combined into merge marco?

Thank you again, your are wonderful.

If you want to delete those columns, then you
have
to
uncomment this line (just
get rid of the leading apostrophe):

'.Value = .Value

It's essentially copy|paste special|values.

Do you mean merge like in merge cells or do
you
mean
merge like in concatenate?

I'm gonna guess concatenate.

I'd insert a new column D and use a formula
that
did
the
concatenation, then
convert to values, then delete the original
D:F
(now
E:G).

Option Explicit
Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells
(.Rows.Count, "d").End
(xlUp).Row
.Columns("D").Insert
With .Range("d1:d" & LastRow)
.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1] & "" ""
&
RC
[2]
& "" "" & RC[3]"
'.Value = .Value
End With
.Range ("e:g").EntireColumn.Hidden =
True
'.Range ("e:g").EntireColumn.Delete
End With
End Sub

I used the last row of column D to
determine
the
last
row to get a formula.
Change this to a column that always has
data.

And I don't know what's in those columns,
but
it's
not
always best to
concatenate and delete. As you can see it's
really
easy
to put things
together. It's not always as easy to
separate
them
into
the correct fields.

It might be better to leave the formulas
and
just
hide
the columns that the
formulas use.

========
Did you really mean Merge (as in
Format|Cells|Aligment
tab)?

Then maybe something like:

Option Explicit
Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim iRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells
(.Rows.Count, "d").End
(xlUp).Row

For iRow = 1 To LastRow
With .Cells(iRow, "D")
.Value = .Value _
& " " & .Offset (0,
1).Value
_
& " " & .Offset (0,
2).Value
.Offset(0, 1).Resize(1,
2).ClearContents
End With
Next iRow

.Range("d1:f" & LastRow).Merge
across:=True
End With
End Sub

And one last thing, if your data needs to be
formatted
nicely, you could use:

.Value = .Text _
& " " & .Offset (0,
1).Text _
& " " & .Offset (0,
2).Text

to pick up the format from the cell.

Or you could specify the format you want:
.Value = .Value _
& " " & format
(.Offset
(0,
1).Value,"mm/dd/yyyy") _
& " " & format
(.Offset
(0,
2).Value,"$0.00")
with the Format function.

Inside the worksheet, you'd use something
like:
=text
(a1,"$0.00")

I'm not sure if you got your problem
solved,
but
modifying Ron's code slightly:

Option Explicit
Sub Test()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
For r = .UsedRange.Rows
(.UsedRange.Rows.Count).Row To 1 Step -1
If Application.CountA (.Rows

Or .Cells(r, "A").Value

_
Or LCase(.Cells
(r, "A").Value)
= "problem"
_
Or Trim(.Cells
(r, "F").Value)
= ""
Then
.Rows(r).Delete
End If
Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Dave:
This line .NumberFormat = "General is pretty helpful,
thanks.

Lillian

Probably not wrong, but I could duplicate the problem if the inserted column was
formatted as Text.

So you could add a line so that you wouldn't have to worry about how the new
column J was formatted:

With .Range("J1:J" & LastRow)
.NumberFormat = "General" '<-- added
.FormulaR1C1 = "= your long formula here"
.Value = .Value
End With

I hoping that .numberformat = "general" will fix the problem.

Dave:

I try to concatenate from columnJ to columnQ, I use
your code as:

Sub ConcatFromJToQ()
Dim LastRow As Long
With Worksheets("General")
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "j").End (xlUp).Row
.Columns("J:J").Insert
With .Range("J1:J" & LastRow)
.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1] & "" "" & RC[2]
& "" "" & RC[3] & "" "" & RC[4] & "" "" & RC[5] & "" "" &
RC[6] & "" "" & RC[7] & "" "" &RC[8]"
.Value = .Value
End With
.Range("K:R").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
.Range("K:R").EntireColumn.Delete
End With
End Sub

and I got entire J column has Rc1...RC8, did I do anthing
wrong?
please advise.

Excel always has 256 columns (A:IV).

If you delete one, then the others shift over and a

new
one appears at the far

right. You really can't make them go away completely.

But if you just don't like to see them, you could hide them instead of deleting
them.

Sub Macro2A()
With Activesheet
.range("R:R,T:EE").entirecolumn.hidden = true
end with
End Sub

When I use the following code:

This only delete from columnR to columnED inside of data,
but the column R to ED still there, it's become empty

It's me again, I have use your old testme02() macro,
try to concatenate from columnI to columnP, I use your
macro testme02(), but I got out of range, here is my
code:

Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "i").End (xlUp).Row
.Columns("I:I").Insert
With .Range("I1:I" & LastRow)

.Value = .Value
End With
.Range("I:Q").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
'.Range("I:Q").EntireColumn.Delete

what's wrong with this code, on the columnQ was not
empty
column, has some data, is this code will work on this?

thanks.

Dave:

Which Macro which I use to delete is Macro1() or
Macro1A?
the question I have was:
#2). I need to deleted any column from R to EE,

Click to expand...

but
not

column S column, then delete EF column, I know EF
column
is outside of range?

#1). I need to deleted the column if is empty,

Click to expand...

also
any

of column as "0" and "NA" need to delete as well.

thanks for all the help.

Lillian
-----Original Message-----
the easy one first.

#2. Record a macro when you do it manually. I
selected
R, and T:EE, then
rightclick|Delete and got something that looked like:

Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()
Range("R:R,T:EE").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
End Sub

(deleting from the right to left will mean you don't
have to adjust the column
letters after the deletion.)

But you could change it to something like:

Option Explicit
Sub Macro1A()
With Activesheet
.range("R:R,T:EE").entirecolumn.delete
end with
End Sub

And column EF was outside of the range. Did you mean
that?

And #1.

To delete the columns that are empty:

Option Explicit
Sub testme01()

Dim myCol As Long
Dim delRng As Range

With ActiveSheet
For myCol = .Range("AD1").Column To .Range
("S1").Column Step -1
If Application.CountA(.Columns

Click to expand...

(myCol))
= 0

Then
If delRng Is Nothing Then
Set delRng = .Cells(1, myCol)
Else
Set delRng = Union (delRng, .Cells
(1,
myCol))
End If
End If

Next myCol

If delRng Is Nothing Then
'do nothing
Else
delRng.EntireColumn.Delete
End If
End With

End Sub

But I'm confused about the n/a stuff and 0 stuff. Are
you checking one cell,
all cells or if any of them in the column are 0

Click to expand...

or
N/A?

And do you mean #n/a as in the result from =na()

Click to expand...

or
do

you mean the text N/A
(typed in)?

the easy question first.

An example showing the difference between
the .value
and .text.

Say you have 123456.323 in A1. But you have it
formatted as "$#,##0.00", it'll
show as: $123,456.32

So if I concatenate with .value, I lose all that
nice
formatting. But if I use
the .text, it'll show up just like it appears in
the
cell.

This is useful with dates, too. .value = 37931
could
be
formatted as a date
(mm/dd/yyyy) to show 11/06/2003.

(It's not really Format|Cells|Number tab|Text kind
of
formatting.)

I just ran a test of that merge version
(testme02).
I
put simple data in
A11600. It ran pretty quickly.

You can speed it up by adding this to the top of
the
code:

Dim CalcMode As Long
CalcMode = Application.Calculation
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Application.screenupdating = false

and near the bottom:

Application.Calculation = CalcMode
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

It'll stop the flickering of the display, too
(.screenupdating = false).

Tom:

I did the test on this code, it only delete when column
is NA, but not column is 0, but it did delete the empty
column.
example:

A B C D E F G
0 NA 0 0 0
0 NA 0 0 0
0 NA 0 0 0

after run this macro, it become like this
A B C D
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
