Import variable range into Array/Collection?
Is there any way to import a range that looks like this:
I'm trying to import a range with an undetermined number of rows and columns. As the 5th row indicates, the range that I wish to import has in the first column business names and in their subsequent columns, different iterations of the same business.
I've been thinking of using arrays but I can't see it being possible as I would have varying dimensions per element (eg. 3 dimensions for canadian tire and 2 dimensions for mercedes).
I've also thought of using collections/dictionaries but I stumble at using and understanding them.
Ultimately, my intentions are to loop the iterations from this range in a column and, if any of these iterations match a cell in my column, to write in an offset cell the first iteration (business name in bold).
Now, I know, I could do a two dimensional array from a range like this, with repeated first iterations (business name):
However, it's quite cumbersome to rewrite business names.
My code below for what I was using for the two dimensional array:
Option Explicit
Sub VendorFinder()
'variable declaration
Dim msg As String
Dim ans As Integer
Dim rng As Range
Dim DescRng As Range
Dim DescCol As Range
Dim VendorCol As Range
Dim j As Long
Dim Vendor As Variant
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim sFile As String
Dim myVendor As Variant
Dim FirstRow As Range
Dim VendorRng As Range
'import vendors
sFile = "Z:Vendor List.xlsx"
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wb = Application.Workbooks.Open(sFile)
Vendor = wb.Sheets(1).Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row, 2)).Value2
wb.Close False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
On Error GoTo BadEntry
TryAgain:
'set columns
Set DescCol = Application.InputBox("Select Description Column", "Obtain Object Range", Type:=8)
Set VendorCol = Application.InputBox("Select Vendor Column", "Obtain Object Range", Type:=8)
Set FirstRow = Application.InputBox("Select First Row with Data", "Obtain Object Range", Type:=8)
'set ranges
Set DescRng = Range(Cells(FirstRow.Row, DescCol.Column), Cells(Cells(Rows.Count, DescCol.Column).End(xlUp).Row, DescCol.Column))
Set VendorRng = Range(Cells(FirstRow.Row, VendorCol.Column), Cells(Cells(Rows.Count, DescCol.Column).End(xlUp).Row, VendorCol.Column))
myVendor = VendorRng.Value2
For Each rng In DescRng
If Cells(rng.Row, VendorCol.Column).Value = "" Then
For j = LBound(Vendor) To UBound(Vendor)
If InStr(1, rng.Value, Vendor(j, 2), vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
myVendor(rng.Row - FirstRow.Row + 1, 1) = Vendor(j, 1)
Exit For
End If
Next j
End If
Next rng
VendorRng.Resize(UBound(myVendor) - LBound(myVendor) + 1, 1) = myVendor
Exit Sub
BadEntry:
msg = "You have clicked on cancel for one of the prompts."
msg = msg & vbNewLine
msg = msg & "Do you wish to try again?"
ans = MsgBox(msg, vbRetryCancel + vbExclamation)
If ans = vbRetry Then Resume TryAgain
End Sub

This seems to be a simple un-pivot
operation.
If you have Excel 2010+, you can use Power Query
(aka Get&Transform
in Excel 2016+), to do this.
- Select a single cell in the table
- Data / Get & Transform / From Range should select the entire table
- Select the first column in the Query table.
- Transform / Unpivot other columns
- Delete the unwanted column
- Save and Load
(Takes longer to type than to do)
This is the M Code, but you can do it all from the PQ GUI:
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", type text}}),
#"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Column1"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Unpivoted Other Columns",{"Attribute"})
in
#"Removed Columns"
Original Data
Unpivoted
Very nice, but it seems like it cannot be accomplished with a simple click: with VBA

Once you set up the query, you can refresh it with a single click when your data changes.

Wow that's smart, it'll actually save me lines of code through VBA then... But will it update on itself, without me opening the excel file (refreshing it)?
– Sam
Nov 18 '18 at 12:51
I don't think anything within an Excel file will update if the file is closed. Are you going to be accessing your file with a non-excel program?
– Ron Rosenfeld
Nov 18 '18 at 12:52
Only with VBA to import it as a two dimensional array for use in a loop.

I think I might have something simpler
Dim arr As New Collection, a
Dim var() As Variant
Dim i As Long
Dim lRows As Long, lCols As Long
Dim lRowCurrent As Long
Dim lCounter As Long
'Get the active range
Set rng = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
lRows = rng.Rows.Count
lCols = rng.Columns.Count
lRowCurrent = 0
'Loop thru every row
For i = 1 To lRows
' Read each line into an array
var() = Range(Cells(i, 1), Cells(i, lCols))
' Create a list of unique names only
On Error Resume Next
For Each a In var
arr.Add a, a
Next
'List all names
lCounter = arr.Count
For b = 1 To lCounter
Cells(lRowCurrent + b, 7) = arr(1)
Cells(lRowCurrent + b, 8) = arr(b)
Next
Set arr = Nothing
lRowCurrent = lRowCurrent + lCounter
Next
Really nice way of doing it! Is there any way of importing what you listed into an array/collection for use as a loop? Declare another variant variable and set that variable to the listed names (range)? Thanks

Try this:
Sub DoTranspose()
Dim r&, cnt&
Dim rng As Range, rngRow As Range, cell As Range
Set rng = Sheets("Source").Range("A1").CurrentRegion
r = 1
For Each rngRow In rng.Rows
cnt = WorksheetFunction.CountA(rngRow.Cells)
With Sheets("output").Cells(r, 1).Resize(cnt)
.Value = rngRow.Cells(1).Value
.Offset(, 1).Value = Application.Transpose(rngRow.Resize(, cnt).Value)
End With
r = r + cnt
Next
End Sub
Sample workbook.
Nice +1 for transposition :-)

Everything works fine with this code but it lacks the ability to remove iterations from the output, that I remove from the source. Seems like power query auto updates "better".

Range Array Array Range
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
The left worksheet is the initial worksheet, and the right the resulting one.
Since cBlnColors is set to True, several ranges are being colored to better understand how this code works and to indicate the upsides of having headers.
The light yellow color represents the data range, while the yellow color represents the rest of the off limits cells.
All not colored cells can be used without affecting the results in the right worksheet.
cBlnHeadersBelow set to True means that the data is above the headers (unusual), while set to False would mean that the data will be below the headers (as usual).
Headers Below Data with Colors
Another Thousand
The following picture shows the same code used with cBlnHeadersBelow set to False.
The yellow range spans down to the last row (not visible).
Again, all not colored cells can be used without affecting the results in the right worksheet.
Headers Above Data with Colors
The Code
Option Explicit
'*******************************************************************************
' Purpose: In a specified worksheet of a specified workbook, transposes a
' range of data (vertical table!?) to a two-column range in a newly
' created worksheet.
' Arguments (As Constants):
' cStrFile
' The path of the workbook file. If "", then ActiveWorkbook is used.
' cVarWs
' It is declared as variant to be able to use both, the title
' (a string e.g. "Sheet1") or the index (a positive whole number e.g. 1)
' of the worksheet. If "", then ActiveSheet is used.
' cStrTitle
' The contents of the first cell in the headers to be searched for.
' cBlnHeaders
' If True, USE headers.
' If False, do NOT use headers i.e. cBlnHeadersBelow has no effect and the
' first data found by searching by column from "A1" is used as first cell
' and the last found data on the worksheet is used for last cell.
' cBlnHeadersBelow
' If True, the data is ABOVE the headers (Data-Then-Headers).
' If False, the data is as usual BELOW the headers (Headers-Then-Data).
' cStrPaste
' The cell address of the first cell of the resulting range in the new
' worksheet.
' cBlnColors
' If True, and cBlnHeaders is True, then colors are being used i.e. one
' color for the data range, and another for off limits ranges.
' If True, and cBlnHeaders is False, all cells are off limits,
' so only the data range is colored.
' Returns
' A new worksheet with resulting data. No threat to the initial worksheet.

This seems to be a simple un-pivot
operation.
If you have Excel 2010+, you can use Power Query
(aka Get&Transform
in Excel 2016+), to do this.
- Select a single cell in the table
- Data / Get & Transform / From Range should select the entire table
- Select the first column in the Query table.
- Transform / Unpivot other columns
- Delete the unwanted column
- Save and Load
(Takes longer to type than to do)
This is the M Code, but you can do it all from the PQ GUI:
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", type text}}),
#"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Column1"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Unpivoted Other Columns",{"Attribute"})
in
#"Removed Columns"
Original Data
Unpivoted
Very nice, but it seems like it cannot be accomplished with a simple click: with VBA

Once you set up the query, you can refresh it with a single click when your data changes.

Nov 18 '18 at 12:49
Wow that's smart, it'll actually save me lines of code through VBA then... But will it update on itself, without me opening the excel file (refreshing it)?
– Sam
Nov 18 '18 at 12:51
I don't think anything within an Excel file will update if the file is closed. Are you going to be accessing your file with a non-excel program?

Try this:

Dim rng As Range, rngRow As Range, cell As Range
Set rng = Sheets("Source").Range("A1").CurrentRegion
r = 1
For Each rngRow In rng.Rows
cnt = WorksheetFunction.CountA(rngRow.Cells)
With Sheets("output").Cells(r, 1).Resize(cnt)
.Value = rngRow.Cells(1).Value
.Offset(, 1).Value = Application.Transpose(rngRow.Resize(, cnt).Value)

Range Array Array Range
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
The left worksheet is the initial worksheet, and the right the resulting one.
Since cBlnColors is set to True, several ranges are being colored to better understand how this code works and to indicate the upsides of having headers.
The light yellow color represents the data range, while the yellow color represents the rest of the off limits cells.
All not colored cells can be used without affecting the results in the right worksheet.
cBlnHeadersBelow set to True means that the data is above the headers (unusual), while set to False would mean that the data will be below the headers (as usual).
Headers Below Data with Colors
Another Thousand
The following picture shows the same code used with cBlnHeadersBelow set to False.
The yellow range spans down to the last row (not visible).
Again, all not colored cells can be used without affecting the results in the right worksheet.
Headers Above Data with Colors

Range Array Array Range
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
The left worksheet is the initial worksheet, and the right the resulting one.
Since cBlnColors is set to True, several ranges are being colored to better understand how this code works and to indicate the upsides of having headers.
The light yellow color represents the data range, while the yellow color represents the rest of the off limits cells.
All not colored cells can be used without affecting the results in the right worksheet.
cBlnHeadersBelow set to True means that the data is above the headers (unusual), while set to False would mean that the data will be below the headers (as usual).
Headers Below Data with Colors
Another Thousand
The following picture shows the same code used with cBlnHeadersBelow set to False.
The yellow range spans down to the last row (not visible).
Again, all not colored cells can be used without affecting the results in the right worksheet.

Extras
While testing the code, there were a little too many many worksheets in the workbook so I wrote this:
'*******************************************************************************
' Purpose: Deletes all Worksheets in the ActiveWorkbook except one.
' Danger: This code doesn't ask anything, it just does. In the end you will
' end up with just one worksheet (cStrWsExcept) in the workbook
' (cStrWbPath). If you have executed this code and the result is not
' satisfactory, just close the workbook and try again or don't. There
' will be no alert like "Do you want to save ..." because of the line:
' ".Saved = True" i.e. "objWb.Saved = True".
' Arguments (As Constants):
' cStrWbPath
' The path of the workbook to be processed. If "", then ActiveWorkbook is
' used.
' cStrWsExcept
' The worksheet not to be deleted. If "", then the Activesheet is used.
'*******************************************************************************
Sub DeleteWorksheetsExceptOne()
Const cStrWbPath = "" ' if "" then ActiveWorkbook
Const cStrWsExcept = "Sheet1" ' if "" then ActiveSheet
Dim objWb As Workbook
Dim objWsExcept As Worksheet
Dim objWsDelete As Worksheet
If cStrWbPath = "" Then
Set objWb = ActiveWorkbook
Else
Set objWb = Workbooks(cStrWbPath)
End If
With objWb
If cStrWsExcept = "" Then
Set objWsExcept = .ActiveSheet
Else
Set objWsExcept = .Worksheets(cStrWsExcept)
End If
' To suppress the "Data may exist in the sheet(s) selected for deletion.
' To permanently delete the data, press Delete." - Alert:
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each objWsDelete In .Worksheets
If objWsDelete.Name <> objWsExcept.Name Then
objWsDelete.Delete
End If
Next
' To suppress the "Do you want to save changes you made to ... ?" - Alert:
.Saved = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End With
End Sub
