Help with Reducing Numbers Please

P

Paul Black

Hi,

I have 6 Columns of Data ( with Numbers from 1 to 42 ) from E to J.
The Data at the Moment goes from E14:J1907, but More Data is
Constantly Being Added. No Number is Higher than 42.
What I would like is for a Macro to Find the Last Cell in Column J
with Data, and Remove that Number from the List 1 to 42. Then go One
Cell to the Left and Remove that Number from the List, then go One
Cell to the Left and Remove that Number from the List etc upto and
including Column E. Then I would like it to go back to Column J, But
One Row up and do the Same. There could be the Same Number ( i.e.
Number 9 ) in Cells in Several Rows, so the Macro would Already know
this Number has been Removed and move onto the Next.
I would like it to Continue Removing Numbers from the List Until there
are 14 ( Fourteen ) Unique Numbers Left.
I would then like it to List those 14 Numbers Please.
I hope this makes Sense.

Thanks in Advance
Paul

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the Reply.
The 42 Numbers are Listed in a Sheet Called "Deletion" in Cells
A1:A42.
The Data is in a Sheet Called "Data" in Cells E14:J1907, but the Data
is Constantly Being Added to.

Thanks in Advance
Paul

Sub find14()
With Worksheets("Deletion")
Set rng = .Range("A1:A42")
End With
With Worksheets("Data")
Set rng1 = .Range(.Range("E14"), _
.Cells(Rows.Count, 10).End(xlUp))
End With

i = rng1.Count
Do While Application.CountA(rng) > 14
Set cell = rng1(i)
rng(rng1(i).Value).ClearContents
i = i - 1
Loop

End Sub

Thanks Tom, it Works Perfect.
Out of Interest what does this Bit do
..Cells(Rows.Count, 10)
Would the Macro Still Work if there were Numbers Between 1 and 42 in Columns A:D.

All the Best

10 is column J. So it finds the bottom of column J.
Would the Macro Still Work if there were Numbers Between 1 and 42 in

Columns A:D.
No, not without modification.

Thanks for the Reply Tom,

I am new to VBA and just wanted to get how the Macro worked clear in
my mind.
I did think that there would be a Problem if there were Numbers from 1
to 42 in Columns A:D. I do not need the Macro Modifified however.
Thanks for the Explanations.

All the Best
Paul

Paul,
I misunderstood your question. The macro would work if there are numbers in
A:D

Of course the easiest way to find out would have been to try it.

Thanks Tom,

I would have Tested it, but the Machine I am at for the Next Few Days
has not got Excel.
Thanks for All your Help.

All the Best

Hi Tom,

Just one last thing. How would you Sort the 14 Numbers after the Macro
has Run in Numerical Order in the Sheet Named "Deletion" from Cells
B2:B15 please.

Thank You
All the Best

the macro assumed they were already in numerical order in the Sheet deletion
in A1:A42, so to move them to B2 and delete the spaced

Sub find14()
With Worksheets("Deletion")
Set Rng = .Range("A1:A42")
End With
With Worksheets("Data")
Set rng1 = .Range(.Range("E14"), _
.Cells(Rows.Count, 10).End(xlUp))
End With

i = rng1.Count
Do While Application.CountA(Rng) > 14
Set cell = rng1(i)
Rng(rng1(i).Value).ClearContents
i = i - 1
Loop
With Worksheets("Deletion")
.Range("A1:A42").Copy Destination:=.Range("B2:B43")
.Range("B2:B43").SpecialCells(xlBlanks).Delete Shift:=xlShiftUp
End With
End Sub

Hi Tom,

I Attached your Macro to a Button and it Works Great.
Is there a Small Macro that I can Run After that One that will Re-Set
the 42 Numbers in A1:A42 and Clear the Contents in B2:B43 Please.
I can then Attach it to Another Button Next to the First One.
Thanks for Your Help.

Best Regards
Paul

Why not do it as the first step of this macro:

Sub find14()
With Worksheets("Deletion")
Set Rng = .Range("A1:A42")
rng.offset(0,1).Resize(14).ClearContents
rng.formula = "=row()"
rng.formula = rng.value
End With
With Worksheets("Data")
Set rng1 = .Range(.Range("E14"), _
.Cells(Rows.Count, 10).End(xlUp))
End With

i = rng1.Count
Do While Application.CountA(Rng) > 14
Set cell = rng1(i)
Rng(rng1(i).Value).ClearContents
i = i - 1
Loop
With Worksheets("Deletion")
.Range("A1:A42").Copy Destination:=.Range("B2:B43")
.Range("B2:B43").SpecialCells(xlBlanks).Delete Shift:=xlShiftUp
End With
End Sub

or if you want it separate:

Sub ClearData()
Dim rng as Range
With Worksheets("Deletion")
Set Rng = .Range("A1:A42")
rng.offset(0,1).Resize(14).ClearContents
rng.formula = "=row()"
rng.formula = rng.value
End With
End sub

Hi Tom,

Thank you very much for the Revised Macro.
It Worked Perfectly Except that it Left the Last Figure of the Sort in
Cell B43. I Resolved it by Changing :-

rng.offset(0,1).Resize(14).ClearContents
to :-
rng.offset(0,1).Resize(15).ClearContents

Thanks Again.
All the Best
Paul

Hi Tom,

Sorry to Trouble you Again.
I have Changed the Structure of the Sheet "Deletion".
The Modified Macro Below Works Fine :-

Sub Find_13_Numbers()
With Worksheets("Deletion")
Set rng = .Range("B2:B28")
End With
With Worksheets("Results")
Set rng1 = .Range(.Range("K6"), _
.Cells(Rows.Count, 5).End(xlUp))
End With
i = rng1.Count
Do While Application.CountA(rng) > 13
Set cell = rng1(i)
rng(rng1(i).Value).ClearContents
i = i - 1
Loop
With Worksheets("Deletion")
.Range("B2:B28").Copy Destination:=.Range("D2:D28")
.Range("D2:D28").SpecialCells(xlBlanks).Delete Shift:=xlShiftUp
End With
End Sub

I have Tried to NO Avail to Modify the Macro Below :-

Sub Reset()
Dim rng As Range
With Worksheets("Deletion")
Set rng = .Range("B2:B28")
rng.Offset(0, 2).Resize(13).ClearContents
rng.Formula = "=row()"
rng.Formula = rng.Value
End With
End Sub

It Deletes the 13 Numbers in "D2:D14" O.K.
It Does Reset the 27 Numbers in "B2:B28", BUT they go from Number 2 to
Number 28, Instead of Number 1 to Number 27.
What am I Missing.

Thank You Very Much Tom.
All the Best

Sub Reset()
Dim rng As Range
With Worksheets("Deletion")
Set rng = .Range("B2:B28")
rng.Offset(0, 2).Resize(13).ClearContents
rng.Formula = "=row()-1"
rng.Formula = rng.Value
End With
End Sub
