Excel Macro get cell values but skip other rows



Raw data that comes in pattern is easy to handle for further processing.

For example, if you have a data that has final value in every 7th row, so basically 1 to 6 is not needed and 7th row is needed, likewise 8th row to 13th row is not needed and 14th row is needed and the pattern goes on that every 7th row is the final data from the previous 6 rows.

If the pattern continues, it will be like: 1-6, 7 final value, 7 -13, 14 final value, 15 to 20, 21 final value, 22 to 27, 28 final value and the pattern goes on up to hundreds or thousands. It will be time consuming to get every 7th row manually.

For graphical representation it will be like:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14

From the image above every 7th row (green color) is needed and the rest is discarded.

Other issue comes in if the data has to be processed further in another sheet, doing this manually is so tedious and prone to error.

This is where VBA or Excel macro comes into play and simplify the process. The “step” keyword in VBA or even VB.Net programming is quite handy in this scenario.

Here’s the short VBA code that shorten the process or makes thing simple and reduce the complexity of doing things manually.

Sub Get_Every_7th_Row()
Dim i, ix As Integer
Dim hold_value 

‘specify row 1 in sheet2
ix = 1

For i = 7 To 1648 Step 7

  ‘optional msgbox to display whether the code is getting the right cell value
  MsgBox Sheet1.Cells(i, 4).Value
    
‘Get the cell value every 7th row
Hold_value = Sheet1.Cells(i, 4).Value

‘Transfer the value to sheet2
Sheet2.Cells(ix, 2).Value = hold_value

‘increment the row value in Sheet2
    ix = ix + 1   

Next i

End Sub

Here’s how the code works:

 For i = 7 To 1648 Step 7 'loop to all the values in Sheet1
'step 7 will increment by 7 (7 steps)
 ‘change 1648 to the last data in the worksheet
‘the code gets the value every 7th row, just change the number 7 to any specified required interval

‘store the value in Sheet1 to Hold_value
Hold_value = Sheet1.Cells(i, 4).Value

‘Transfer the value to sheet2 to the value found in sheet1
Sheet2.Cells(ix, 2).Value = hold_value

‘increment the row value in Sheet2 so the value is written on the next row
    ix = ix + 1   


That’s it  a simple Macro simplifies everything…till next time..Cheers!

WMIC get computer name

WMIC get computer model, manufacturer, computer name and  username. WMIC is a command-line tool and that can generate information about computer model, its manufacturer, its username and other informations depending on the parameters provided. Why would you need a command line tool if there’s a GUI to check? If you have 20 or 100 computers, or even more. It’s quite a big task just checking the GUI to check the computer model and username. If you have remote computers, you need to delegate someone in the remote office or location to check. Or you can just write a batch file or script to automate the task. Here’s the code below on how get computer model, manufacturer and the username. Open an elevated command prompt and type:     wmic computersystem get "Model","Manufacturer", "Name", "UserName" Just copy and paste the code above, the word “computersystem” does not need to be change to a computer name.

Notepad++ convert multiple lines to a single line and vice versa

Notepad++ is an awesome text editing tool, it can accept regex to process the text data. If the data is in a “.csv” format or comma separated values which is basically just a text file that can either be opened using a text editor, excel or even word. Notepad++ can process the contents of the file using regex. Example if the data has multiple rows or lines, and what is needed is to convert the whole lines of data into a single line. Notepad++ can easily do it using regex. However, if the data is on a single line and it needs to be converted into multiple lines or rows then regex can also be used for this case. Here’s an example on how to convert multiple rows or lines into a single line. Example data: Multiple rows, just a sample data. Press Ctrl+H, and  on "Find what" type: [\r\n]+ and on "Replace with" type with: , (white space) --white space is needed if need to have a space in between the data. See image below, "Regular Expression" must be se...

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only. But then the person printing the file accidentally chooses “A4 Cover” then this error 016-799 will occur. ...
