Filtered list

Hi, I hope that some one can help!



I want to take a certain range of cells in the file "HCP_2005_upgrade" and
filter so as to select all the cells that are not empty.

Then select all the rows for these cells and copy them to a new workbook
"W_V" in "sheet2". I have the following code.

Three problems:

1- When copying to the new workbook I did not have the same
column width. What should I do in order to have the same column width?

2- What code do I need to add, and where, so as to let the
macro automatically find the last row that is not empty (particularly in
column B). Select only the filtered range.

3- My sheet is protected. The auto filter only works for
unprotected sheets. How can I overcome this problem or go around it. (i.e.
to do filtration for protected sheets).



The code is:

Sub Macro1()

Range("EI16:EI159").Select

Selection.AutoFilter

Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<>"

Rows("1:44").select --à (what code do I need so that the macro do this
automaticaly since it changes often).

Workbooks.Open Filename:="H:\W_V.xls"

Sheet("Sheet2").Select

Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:x1PasteColumnWidths, Operation:=x1None,_

SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

ActiveSheet.Paste

Range("E7").Select

ActiveWindow.FreezePanes=True

Windows("HCP_2006_Upgrade.xls").Activate

Range("A16").Select

Application.CutCopyMode=False

Selection.AutoFilter

Range("A1").Select

End Sub

Since your code depends on what's selected, it's difficult to guess where things
should be pasted.

But this may give you an idea. I didn't test it, but it did compile:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim RngToFilter As Range
Dim RngToCopy As Range
Dim DestWks As Worksheet
Dim DestCell As Range
Dim LastRow As Long

With ActiveSheet
.Unprotect Password:="hithere"
'turn off any existing filter
.AutoFilterMode = False
Set RngToFilter = .Range("ei16", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "EI").End(xlUp))
RngToFilter.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<>"
If RngToFilter.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Count = 1 Then
'no visible rows in filter.
Set RngToCopy = Nothing
Else
With RngToFilter
Set RngToCopy = .Resize(.Rows.Count - 1, 1).Offset(1, 0) _
.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
End With
End If
.AutoFilterMode = False
.Protect Password:="hithere"
End With

If RngToCopy Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Nothing filtered--quitting"
Exit Sub
End If

Set DestWks = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set DestWks = Workbooks("w_v.xls").Worksheets("sheet2")
On Error GoTo 0
If DestWks Is Nothing Then
Set DestWks = Workbooks.Open("H:\W_V.xls").Worksheets("sheet2")
End If

With DestWks
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row + 1
Set DestCell = .Cells(LastRow, "A")
End With

RngToCopy.EntireRow.Copy _
Destination:=DestCell

Application.CutCopyMode = False

End Sub

Hi,
Thanks for what you offer, I will try it. Just want you know it is going to
be pasted in a new empty worksheet.

It looked like you posted that it'll be pasted in Sheet2 of an existing
workbook.

Hi,
I tried your code and has a compile error in the with ActiveSheet at x1UP
saying that "variable is not defined"

You should copy and paste from the newsgroup--not retype the responses.

You've introduced a typo. It's xlup (that's an ell, not one).

Hi,
I discovered it later. Thanks any way it worked perfect. I had the first
seven rows from the original sheet copyed and it added the filtered record
after that (using lrow 8). This was exactly as I wanted.

One more thing, is it possible with code to be able to use the same folder
(directory) that the original file is in.
To be more clear:
If I put the original file in "d:\data" folder , the macro will try to open
the file "W_V.xls" from drive "H" as mentioned in the code. Can the code be
adjusted so as it open the file from "D:\data" or any other folder that
might contain the two workbooks togather.

Thank again for you help

The file that owns the code is the original file?

If yes, you can change this:
Set DestWks = Workbooks.Open("H:\W_V.xls").Worksheets("sheet2")
to
Set DestWks = Workbooks.Open(thisworkbook.path &
"\W_V.xls").Worksheets("sheet2")

or if the code is in a different workbook, you could use the activesheet's
workbook's folder:
Set DestWks = Workbooks.Open(.parent.path & "\W_V.xls").Worksheets("sheet2")

Watch out for the line break:

Set DestWks = Workbooks.Open(thisworkbook.path _
& "\W_V.xls").Worksheets("sheet2")

Hi,
The code is in the original file.
I am new to this and have little idea about VB code.

Thanks again
