. it is always preferred if you try to produce Good before and after “ Pictures “ ( Not Images! ) as well as your explanations so I or anyone else can see exactly what you want..and importantly have some copyable test data to work with.

.
The Before or Befores, should look just as it / they does before running of any macro.
.
. The After or Afters, should be hand filled by you so that it they / looks exactly as you want it to After running of any macro, based on the actual sample data in the Before / or Befores

. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Remember to desensitize the data if necessary, but use the typical Format type and choose your data carefully so that it can be used to test all possible scenarios.
...
To give these "Picture" - a few ways...( The second is what most people do )

. 1 ) use the Forum Tools in my signature to produce screen shots we can copy to a spreadsheet ( NO IMAGES ! )
. 2 ) Post Files
. 2 a) To Attach a sample workbook:
View Pic
http://www.excelforum.com/members/da...ch-a-file.html
http://tinyurl.com/oenwprw

. 2 b) Send over a file sharing site, such as this free thing
Box Net,
https://www.box.com/
http://tinyurl.com/7chr7u8
. Remember to select Share and give the link / links they give.

. 3 c) Only as a last resort, P.M **( Private Message ) . me and i will reply with my Email Addressee so you can send me a file
** To PM me, click on my name in the left hand margin when you are logged in, the rest should be obvious.

You mean “A3:Ax” ?

... OK. Try this:
. I return a File which I will call “Before”. I have changes the data in Master such that it would help me better to check and debug any program. I have deleted all data in the other sheets
. Please modify that file ( Presumably the other sheets ) so that the data looks as it typically might be based on my data in Master. Remember to include the possibility of all scenarios such as missing names etc, etc,..
. Return that file to me as the Before
.
. Now working on a copy of that Before modify it manually to reflect the changes you want to occur after the running of the code I do for you.
. And explain again carefully what you did or would do to initiate that change.
. Return that second file to me as the After
.
. So I await 2 files from you. ( Unless you feel in the mood to give me another After just to make it crystal clear to me what you want )

Alan
. If you can get that info across I will do it for you today or early tomorrow.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your reply. And Sorry for selecting “Remove” instead of “Awaiting” in the “master list”. As requested, please see “samplebefore” and “sampleafter” worksheets. Clarification: "A3:A(i)", i is the variable number of rows.

1. Master List: I would like to move “Designation 06” from “Master List” to “Awaiting” worksheet via selecting it from dropdown.
a. To move “Designation 06”, Name list shall be compared at first. Comparing “Name list” in both sheet, we found that “Master List” is missing “Name 4”, whereas, “Awaiting” is missing “Name 5” and “Name 9”.
b. At First, add missing name i.e. “Name 4” in the “Master list”.
c. Secondly, add “Name 5” and “Name 9” in the “Awaiting”
d. Once all names matches in both sheets, Move “Designation 06” from “Master List” to the “Awaiting”.

2. Awaiting: Move “Designation 7” to “Master List” from “Awaiting”. First check is if “Name list” matches in both sheets. If it matches then move selected column. If “Name List” does not match, then add missing names.
a. Same principal will apply in moving “Designation 10” to the “Remove” worksheet.

3. Remove: Move “Designation 13” and “Designation 15” to the “Awaiting”. Also, move “Designation 14” to the “Master List”.
a. Check for missing “name List”, add any missing or new names in the source and designation worksheet.

4. General rule is to compare “Name List” first in the source and destination worksheet and add any missing “name List” to both sheet and then move column to the destination sheet.

I hope I have explained detailed enough. However, if you still require any clarification, please do let me know.
Thank you and Kind Regards.

Hi,

. a couple of questions..
. 1) You have shown your names in the "After" shown in order

Using Excel 2007

Master

.........
. I guess this is because our imaginary names have a number on the end.
. But for real names, Tom ****, Harry etc., then the added order is unimportant?
.
. so this would be just as valid?

Master List

Correct?
.....................................................

. 2) Are the destination headings always written such:
Designation 4, Designation 6
. ..etc with a number on the end which is used to determine the order, or is the order of the columns also not important?

Alan

Ok.
. I think I get it all now.
. I will post when I have a solution ( should be Today or Tomorrow )
.
Alan

Hi shido,
. I will be working shortly on a solution for you. You may wish to consider something in the meantime

Originally Posted by shido

. When we are dealing with actual names there will be no “Number” to use to maintain any ordering.
. So it is unclear as to wot is defined as the “Name Order”. I will assume I bring a Row in at the point going down in the Sheet where no match is first found in names looking down in that column. Any other logic i think could error , for example, bring it in to the “row” corresponding to the row in that sheet from where it “comes” could leave empty rows in some cases in the receiving sheet. I expect coincidentally I will achieve my logic the actual results with your actual test data, but that may not always be the case ( I think? ) with other more jumbled data.. but I could be wrong: -. It a difficult point to grasp. I suggest you let it run through your mind, and reply back if you have any comment s to that in the meantime..
Alan

. It may be, dependinng on how / when you input data that my logic may autometically get what you want.
.
. let us have a look later when I have a code................
......................................
.
. In the meantime, think again about some test data ( still limited in size please to under 10 rows, if possible - if not then the maximum you need ) that would realistically reflect the possible combinations of those text and numbers

Alan

Hi shido,
. This was a bit more tricky than I first thought..
. - you have some very complicated requirements. But I think I am close to a solution and will post when I am finished.
. Some points to be going on with:
.
. 1) Due to the complexity.. I took the unusual step ( for me ) of using Functions to tidy the code up.
Otherwise the code would have been unmanageably long. So I have written some Custom Functions. ( And may need a couple more, when I think about it... )
. I am not sure of what your knowledge level of VBA is , but if you are not familiar with VBA Functions ___() and Public Functions ___(), then a bit of background readings on the basic ideas there would be wise.
.
. 2 ) .....Your last clear instructions and example Before and After Sheets were essential,., - your original Description of the Problem gave no indication of the complexity!!! The code you gave in Post#1 is a long way off., - it is nowhere near anything like something to cope with your complicated requirements!
. ... You may wish to consider renaming your Thread title to something Like:
“....Based On selection: Copying , Adjusting, Reordering Rows and Columns from Tables, then Pasting into different sized Tables in specific order...”
.. it is a bit of a mouthful, but it may be helpful for anyone else looking for such a solution., or considering giving an alternative solution to mine.


. Alan

p.s. You might want to get yourself a crate of Guinness or similar for when I post my solution: The solution is necessarily a bit long and involved, so it is going to take a bit of concentration to follow...

Hi shido,
.. here it comes ( first instalment.) Make a coffee or open the first bottle of Guinness

. I suggest as this is a bit involved and I do not know your level of VBA we should take this one bit at a time. There is however enough info here to get the final complete solution, if you are able.
.
. The basic solution has 3 main codes, which are identical but work on each sheet and spring into life when you make your drop box selection in any sheet. In addition some Public function Codes are needed as I mentioned in Post #15.
.
. I will need to split this into more than one post because of Post size limitations.
.
. In this Post, #16, some general points.
.
. In the next post, Post # 17 I will walk through what to do to meet your first Descriptio from post #6
...
...”.................... 1. Master List: I would like to move “Designation 06” from “Master List” to “Awaiting” worksheet via selecting it from dropdown.
a. To move “Designation 06”, Name list shall be compared at first. Comparing “Name list” in both sheet, we found that “Master List” is missing “Name 4”, whereas, “Awaiting” is missing “Name 5” and “Name 9”.
b. At First, add missing name i.e. “Name 4” in the “Master list”.
c. Secondly, add “Name 5” and “Name 9” in the “Awaiting”
d. Once all names matches in both sheets, Move “Designation 06” from “Master List” to the “Awaiting”.
.................”

.............................

. I will be actually doing and following my instructions I give in Post # 17, working in your Supplied “Before” sheet to get the results on the “After”, but only as far as the bit above. – That is to say I am demonstrating what happens when you make a drop down box selection in sheet “Master List”.
. I will aim at a point of basic VBA understanding. But I will be happy to go into more detail if you wish.
.
. ( The actual codes I will “Farm off” to a spare Post in a Spare Thread and reference that rather than posting it here so as to make these posts a bit less cluttered. )
............................

General Notes

. 1) I try to do codes using VBA Array as much as possible just now as that is what I am trying to learn.
. If you know how, it is worth setting a watch on the various Arrays and then running the code in debug ( F8 ) Mode the first few times you run it.. This helps make clear what is going on, and much easier to see if / when any problems come in

. 2 ) It is important That All Names , headings etc. are spelt exactly the same in all sheets ( I had to correct, for example,
„List“
in sheets
„Awaiiting“ and „remove“
To read
„Name List“
in order to match the corresponding heading in Sheet „Master List“ )

. 3 ) I think the code currently, for convenience, relies on the Three Sheets “Master List” , “Awaiting” , and “Remove” being sheet item Numbers 1 , 2 and 3 . – That means they are the first 3 Tabs you see looking from the left

. 4 ) There is a lot of extra stuff, unnecessary lines and loads of comments – i need them to remind myself of what is going on . We can easily tidy up all that later when you are happy with the code.
. 4a) Also for initial simplicity of getting the code and code idea across to you I made the Main code such that the same one should be able to used in each sheet, ( as a Main code is required in all sheet Modules in addition to the Public Functions Module , - as i already mentioned..)

. 5 ) I got a bit confused with the terms source and destination, as that only refers to the columns you send. In addition your are copying and pasting rows back and forth. So I went over to using the terms “This” and “That”
.
. “This” is the sheet you are in when you make the drop down box selection

. “That” is the sheet you select in the drop down box, ( and where the program puts the chopped out column )
.
. 6 ) With your current test data the rows come out in you wanted order. We may need to think a bit about that when we have some more representable data, as I discussed in post # 13
.
. 7 ) You said the selected column order is not important. And that it could be pasted in the last available column. But I was feeling a bit anarchistic so I arranged that it would be put in the second column with all other columns being shifted across to the right. That is very easy to change.
.
. 8) The nice thing about Excel Forum is that I can edit my posts for a long time . So usually when I feel in the mood I come back and correct typos, make minor improvements, remove vulgarities etc.. from my codes. So it is always worth checking for a fresh version in the future should you be using any of my codes
...........................

. So here we go again:

. 1) Open a copy of the before sheet you provided me with

. 2) copy all of the following codes in one go to the Clipboard. They are the Functions called by the Main Code as necessary
Posts #4 and posts # 5 and post #6
http://www.excelforum.com/developmen...ml#post4178850
http://www.excelforum.com/developmen...ml#post4178853
http://www.excelforum.com/developmen...ml#post4178855
. 3) These 7 above codes can go into any macro module. I would usually make a separate module for them called something like PubicFuktions, but that is how I am. Remember if you are copying into an existing module, then the Option Explicit bit must be written just once at the start of the module
.
. 4) Make the correction to „Name List“ as noted in last post # 16
.
. 5) copy this main code to the clipboard and paste in THE SHEET MODULE, NOT a normal module. ( Sheet "Master List" )
NOTE I HAD TO PASTE IT INTO TWO posts, but it is all one code, paste the second part immediately after the first in the sheet Module
Posts # 7 and Posts #8
http://www.excelforum.com/developmen...ml#post4178861
http://www.excelforum.com/developmen...ml#post4178864


. 6 ) Save the file, close the file, and reopen it, remembering to select enabling macros

. 7a ) If you know how, put a stop in the left hand margin somewhere near the start of the code. Make the “Awaiting” Selection as per your example from post # 6. Step through the code with F8 after setting watches on various Arrays
.
. 7b) Try your luck at just running the code normally by making your selection. Remember the results at this stage are just those based on that one selection.

............................
. Anyway have a play, see how you get on, and when you report back we will take it from there if / as need be

Good luck.
Alan

Hi shido,
. I think I see what could be the problem if after the initial run you make a selection: - The problem I think is that I stupidly have not allowed in the code for the case when no rows need to be copied in this sheet or that sheet.
. with hind sight an obvious requirement, and a profie would probably have allowed for that instinctively – ( BTW. my VBA knowledge is similar to yours and similarly I am learning from Google and Books and my experience here. For example Drop down boxes are new to me, and look a nice idea. I was not sure how my code would cope with them, but thankfully it appears VBA is only interested in what is in the cell, and whether you type in or select with the drop down box VBA reacts the same, which was a relief! . You will note I specifically use .ClearContents rather than .Clear – I hope that means my code just empties the cell value and never takes out your Drop Down boxes – which I would not know how to put back in. )

.... I will take a look at that now, and let you know what I come up with. It is easy technically to fix, but is just a case of trying to think of a solution that avoid making the program even more complicated.
. ( BTW , if the explain green comments are annoying in the code, as I mentioned finally they can be easily knocked out in one go... for example from about Post #7, Post #10 here:
http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/about-b...ents-code.html

Alan

Hi shido,
. So I think I have this problem, or rather my oversight, corrected....
. As you might of imagined a modification to section 4) is required. I will drop the code correction in the next Post, Post # 24.

Hi Alan,

Sorry for coming back to you late.

There is still a minor issue with the code. I changed column A similar in all sheet and test the code.

1. Move column from Master list & Awaiting to Remove - No issue found

2. However, when i move column back from awaiting or remove to master list &/or from remove to awaiting, It is giving some issues,
2a. deleting row 1:1 as its seen in the attachment.

2b. after deleting row 1:1, it is then pasting selected column from remove or awaiting sheet as shown in the attachment.

Kind regards,[

Hi shido,
. good to hear from you, I had thought the complexity of the code may have scared you off using it further!!!
………………………………………..

. 1 )
. I may have ”lost the thread” as it were in my head in the meantime on what was quite a complicated code. I shall try to “get it back up” in my head if and when I have the time and try to help further. You appreciate for such a code I may need a bit of time to get it current in my head again.
. In the meantime…

… The last I can remember, as reflected by the last post from me in the Thread, is that we were at the point given from Posts #23 to # 24 .
.
. To help me please take me very carefully step by step , with screenshots if you can, of exactly what you then did from there and where the problem then comes.

.. this suggests ( I think ) you have tried putting the same code in the other two sheets. This is the correct further progression, but in the thread I had not got that far. So please tell me if / how / what you did in this respect, and maybe upload your current file. ( As it was such a complicated code I suggested we take it step by step. You have “bravely” jumped ahead. All credit to you for having a go. But it does mean I have now to “catch up” a bit. ( I am glad I made good clear instructions in the Thread : I fear I may need them myself now to remake the File, as just now quickly I could not find it - It is almost a week now, and it sort of fell down the pile somewhere!!! )

EDIT: I see now you have attached a file. OK I will look at that but please supply the other info asked for, Thanks

Hi,
. a bit of further input here:- out of interest I took a quick look back here...

. As I said i am learning by doing these Threads and this was a Big Donkey of a code for me, multiple width row, and sheets etc..
. FWIW, I guess I have confirmed that it was a good idea to take the implementation step by step..
. Going from Our Post 24 25 point ... and looking at sheet Awaiting . Assume in the last column , I, in cell I1 ( dropdown box ) I select Move to Master Sheet....

Using Excel 2007

Row\Col	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I
1		Awaiting	Awaiting	Move to Master List			Remove
2	Name List	Designation 1	Designation 6	Designation 7	Designation 8	Designation 9	Designation 10	Designation 11	Designation 12
3	Name 1	1	51	1	11	21	31	41	51
4	Name 2	2	52	2	12	22	32	42	52
5	Name 3	3	53	3	13	23	33	43	53
6	Name 4	Nufink	Nufink	4	14	24	34	44	54
7	Name 5	5	55	Nufink	Nufink	Nufink	Nufink	Nufink	Nufink
8	Name 6	6	56	6	16	26	36	46	56
9	Name 7	7	57	7	17	27	37	47	57
10	Name 8	8	58	8	18	28	38	48	58
11	Name 9	9	59	Nufink	Nufink	Nufink	Nufink	Nufink	Nufink
12	Name 10	10	60	10	20	30	40	50	60

Awaiting

... so I copied the Worksheet_change code to Awaiting sheet Code Module. But importantly at this stage deleted the Worksheet_change code in sheet Master List ( more to that later!!*** )

. So plan is as, an example, Assume in the last column , I, in cell I1 ( dropdown box ) I select Move to Master Sheet....

.. A point that immediate struck me is that in Awaiting column H and I have no check box In!!! So that didn’t work!!!
... obvious Point – as columns were shifted across no account is taken of that.
. copying ( manually for now ) across reveals a further obvious point*** - Any change anywhere sets off the Worksheet-change Program and or programs!!***

... But for now .. I take the above and select Move To Master List in cell I1.. ...
. Follow through F8 Debug... then “suck it and see”

. - Problem 1)
. ... Typo:....( Mine )
Move To Master
is wrong in code: should be
Move to Master List
.....
....
. - Problem 2)
We use the CurrentRegion Property, which Applied to a range Object returns a Range of the "box" which extends to include all cells connected to That Range. Currently Master list has nothing in first row, which of course can happen, ! so CurrentRegion Property does not catch first row!!
. - Ok for now put in all sheets in cell (1, 1 ) Anything:
Using Excel 2007

Row\Col	A	B
1	AnyThink
2	Name List	Designation 2
3	Name 1	11

Master List

..............
Now the complete running of the program gives me this ( partial screen shots )

Using Excel 2007

Row\Col	H	I
1	Remove
2	Designation 11
3	41
4	42
5	43
6	44
7	Nufink
8	46
9	47
10	48
11	Nufink
12	50

Awaiting

.. column I is gone from Sheet Awaiting as expected, and ................
Using Excel 2007

Row\Col	A	B	C	D
1	AnyThink	Move to Master List
2	Name List	Designation 12	Designation 2	Designation 3
3	Name 1	51	11	21
4	Name 2	52	12	22
5	Name 3	53	13	23
6	Name 4	54	Nufink	Nufink
7	Name 5	Nufink	15	25
8	Name 6	56	16	26
9	Name 7	57	17	27
10	Name 8	58	18	28
11	Name 9	Nufink	19	29
12	Name 10	60	20	30

Master List

... is squeezed in at the second column in Sheet Masta List

.... I think this is getting there.. I was actually expecting more difficult problems: These couple are just carelessness / lack of experience on my behalf. I think my main concern was with some possible sorting and order requirements with actual data..
... but I will leave it at that stage for now, pending any feedback or my next urge to tidy up / recheck further the code.

Alan..

. Hi thanks for coming back – it was a difficult one so good to know how it came out, Thanks.
. So basically you have “tidied up” or “restructured” the data to do away with all thet difficult chopping and changes of rows between Sheets with Ranges of different sites, along with some reordering of rows as you go along. – “Wow it is almost a mouthful just to say!!!”
. I guess it is always a bit of a “chicken and Egg” situation , not knowing which is the less of the evils, - making the data better structured with all the work that entails, or developing a more complicated code, which as well as the time taken can , as you see take a while to debug / check that it works finally.
. Happy Yous got there and that Yous may of least got some direction from the thread, so thanks for the feedback
Alan
.
P.s.
. I think now the codes are at or very close to working to meet your initial complicated criteria.
. So can I ask if you have the time to reconsider renaming the Thread Title. This could help navigate someone searching for a solution to such a complicated requirement should they for any reason have to take that route.
.
. I would suggest a title sof the form
“....Based On selection: Copying , Adjusting, Reordering Rows and Columns from Tables, then Pasting into different sized Tables in specific order...”... ( If you can fit that in!! )
FYO
. to do that :
. Go to your first Post , Post #1
. Hit Reply

. Scroll down and Hit Go Advanced
Attachment 418735

. Scroll up and you see you can Edit the Title
Attachment 418736

IMPORTANT : There is a Forum Bug. Your original Post can “vanish”. So before you start the above copy the entire contents of your first Post to the clipboard, so that if the worst occurs you can paste that post back in. ( Your text would probably be enough as that initial code you gave was not too relevant to the complicated criteria )

. Hope that is all clear. Thanks in advance if you can do that. But its your Thread - so your decision.
. Good luck with your project
Alan

To change the title of the thread, EDIT post #1, the GO ADVANCED.
