I'm trying to build a simple macro in VBA for Excel that would SUM [merge] all the rows that have the same name (value in the first columns).
So for example
ExampleRowA 1 0 1 1 3 4
ExampleRowA 2 1 2 2 1 0
ExampleRowC 9 7 7 7 2 5
the result should look like this
ExampleRowA 3 1 3 3 4 4
ExampleRowC 9 7 7 7 2 5
We can assume that the rows that need to be merged are not scattered, and can only appear one after another.
I did something like this, and it almost works, except I have to run it two times.
LastRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
Set r = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Resize(1)
With Application.WorksheetFunction
For iRow = 2 To LastRow
If Cells(iRow, 1) = Cells(iRow + 1, 1) Then
LastCol = r(r.Count).Column
SumCol = LastCol + 1
For iCol = 2 To SumCol
Cells(iRow, iCol) = .Sum(Range(Cells(iRow, iCol), Cells(iRow + 1, iCol)))
Next iCol
Rows(iRow + 1).Delete
End If
Next iRow
End With
I've done some programming in other scripting languages but am new to VB/VBA and don't know the possibilites/limitations of it.
In other languages I would probably use arrays but I don't get the way they work here. I can't deny that because of time constraints I prefer to learn by analyzing examples rather than reading a 500+ page VBA Bible.
Try somthing like this:
LastRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
Set r = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Resize(1)
With Application.WorksheetFunction
For iRow = LastRow-1 to 2 step -1
do while Cells(iRow, 1) = Cells(iRow + 1, 1)
LastCol = r(r.Count).Column
SumCol = LastCol + 1
For iCol = 2 To SumCol
Cells(iRow, iCol) = .Sum(Range(Cells(iRow, iCol), Cells(iRow + 1, iCol)))
Next iCol
Rows(iRow + 1).Delete
loop
Next iRow
End With
This code is easier to read and does the job:
Sub Macro1()
Dim ColumnsCount As Integer
ColumnsCount = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Activate
Do While ActiveCell.Row <= ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
If ActiveCell.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value Then
For i = 1 To ColumnsCount - 1
ActiveCell.Offset(0, i).Value = ActiveCell.Offset(0, i).Value + ActiveCell.Offset(1, i).Value
Next
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).EntireRow.Delete shift:=xlShiftUp
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
Loop
End Sub
'if you have to run the macro twice, idk put a
1:
on top of your macro and on the bottom put
goto 1
'that will run it twice for you
'or you can call it twice in a different macro. up to you
For your Problem, you don't need the Macros or any VBA code.
You can start by opening the sheet with Table containing duplicate values.
Follow Steps:
- Place the Excel Cursor, where you want the merged Data.Then, go to Data Tab > Consolidate.
- Consolidate Dialog box will appear.
- Here enter the Table which has the duplicated values and Click add to Add those values.
- Then, select the row/column, whichever has duplicate values. In this its the left column.
- Just Click OK and you are done.
