TOCOL excel function, but as a UDF in VBA
How about
Function TOCOLUMNS(SearchRange As Range) Dim v As Variant Dim c As Variant Dim d As Object Dim i As Long Dim j As Long Dim t As Variant Set d = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") v = SearchRange.Value For Each c In v If c <> "" Then d(c) = 1 End If Next c v = d.Keys For i = LBound(v) To UBound(v) - 1 For j = i + 1 To UBound(v) If v(i) > v(j) Then t = v(i) v(i) = v(j) v(j) = t End If Next j Next i TOCOLUMNS = Application.Transpose(v) End Function
Thanks HansVogelaar
This code takes a range and turns it into a single column and adds Unique values.
This is amazing, and what I needed.
I tried editing the code, to make another function.
Where, it just turns everything into a single column, even if its a duplicate.
A simple Range into columns Function.
I tried my best, but couldn't figure it out.
My biggest struggle was the variables. As they were just single letters, I got massively confused and couldn't figure out what variable did what, and how they were used.
If you are free, could you maybe use longer variable names, and add comments? It'll help me learn and make any changes if ever needed.
Btw HansVogelaar
Completely unrelated to this Thread, but I see you help everyone and are super active too.
Could you maybe help me out with my other question?
If you simply want to rearrange all non-empty cells in a range to a single column, here is a corrected version of your original function:
Function TOCOLUMNS(SearchRange)
Dim i As Long
Dim Col_Values_Array() As Variant
Dim cell As Range
' Loop through the cells of the range
For Each cell In SearchRange
' Only use non-empty cells
If cell.Value <> "" Then
' Increase count
i = i + 1
' Expand array without overwriting the existing values
ReDim Preserve Col_Values_Array(1 To i)
' Add the new value
Col_Values_Array(i) = cell
End If
Next
' Return the array transposed from row to column
TOCOLUMNS = Application.Transpose(Col_Values_Array)
End Function
