I'm trying to create a macro to evaluate the data in a specific column each row at a a time. The field/column name might be different each time.
I wish at the same time to be able to compile/amend data based upon the number of same occurrences. In the example below each set can contain a maximum amount of 3 records per document. I want to have it evaluate ID and for the first instance leve ID = 1 but then each subsequent value have added A-D, this would result in ID's 1, 1A, 1B - where 1B would only have 1 record. eg. ID Name 1 Bob 1 Mary 1 Jane 1 Tommy 1 Carl 1 Jeff 1 Gary 2 John 3 Paul The ID's which fall into the secondary sets would have their data appended to reflect. At the same time my hope is to be able to record this information of ID's that have this occur, so I can run a secondary process where it will search for the originating ID in another sheet, then create a copy of this row/record and then append the data to create a matching set for each occurrence. eg - worksheet called Data ID Name 1 Bob 1 Mary 1 Jane 1A Tommy 1A Carl 1A Jeff 1B Gary 2 John 3 Paul MasterRecord - Other worksheet called Details ID Name Address Total 1 Bob 3 2 John 1 3 Paul 1 1A Bob 3 1B Bob 1 I have got it to the point of getting information for the checking process and checking eavh value versus the previous and then counting the occurences. But have hit a wall as I'm not sure how to get each set flagged whilst keeping the count going correctly. Sample code below, please assist? Sub MultiDoc() ' ' To group sets of data together if they are the same, field and number of occurrences per set to be entered manually ' ' Dim FilePath As String Dim CellData As String Dim LastCol As Long Dim LastRow As Long LastCol = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Column LastRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row FilePath = Application.DefaultFilePath & "\auth.csv" Open FilePath For Output As #2 Dim fieldCheck As String fieldCheck = InputBox("Please enter in column letter for TARGET", "Target Column") Dim MaxValue As Integer MaxValue = InputBox("Enter maximum number per document", "Maximum No") Cells.Select 'Sort fieldCheck data Dim oneRange As Range Dim aCell As Range Set oneRange = Selection Set aCell = Range(Cells(2, fieldCheck), Cells(2, LastRow)) oneRange.Sort Key1:=aCell, Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes Dim NextValue As String NextValue = "" Dim PrevValue As String PrevValue = "" Dim ValCount As Long ValCount = 1 Dim SetCount As Long SetCount = 0 Dim i As Long For i = LastRow To 2 Step -1 NextValue = Cells(i, fieldCheck).Value If NextValue = PrevValue Then 'ValCount = ValCount + 1 'strMsg = "Found " & ValCount & " - " & NextValue 'MsgBox strMsg, vbOKOnly, "Match Found" If ValCount > MaxValue Then strMsg = NextValue & " exceeded " & MaxValue MsgBox strMsg, vbOKOnly, "Max Value Reached" End If Else ValCount = 1 End If PrevValue = Cells(i, fieldCheck).Value Next i Close #2 MsgBox ("Done") Cells(1, 1).Select End Sub -- Are you =EXP(E:RT) or =NOT(EXP(E:RT)) in Excel?
