Use VBA to Autofill a Row until the end of the number of data in another row

NickNick33

Hi,

After I reproduced this issue, I noticed that the error also occurs even if you have two records in the imported file.

If you have one or two rows in the imported file, there is no need to use the AutoFill method in the macro because all rows in the table are already filled.

If you use it in this case, there will be an error!

The solution is to make the code smart somehow to see if the imported file has less than three rows and if so, skip the autofill process to prevent the error.

This is what I suggest to overcome this issue:

Sub PrepFile()
'
' PrepFile Macro
'

'
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("A1").Select
With ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(SourceType:=0, Source:= _
"OLEDB;Provider=Microsoft.Mashup.OleDb.1;Data Source=$Workbook$;Location=current;Extended Properties=""""" _
, Destination:=Range("$A$1")).QueryTable
.CommandType = xlCmdSql
.CommandText = Array("SELECT * FROM [current]")
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.PreserveColumnInfo = True
.ListObject.DisplayName = "current"
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
Range("K10").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Shipment ID"
Range("L10").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Shipment Name"
Range("B2").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("K11").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Range("B3").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Range("L11").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Rows("10:10").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Rows("1:1").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Rows("2:10").Select
Range("A10").Activate
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Columns("K:L").Select
Selection.Cut
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight

If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("E:E")) - 1 = 1 Then
Range("A1").Select
Exit Sub
ElseIf Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("E:E")) - 1 = 2 Then
Range("A3").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
Range("B3").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
Range("A1").Select
Exit Sub
End If

Range("A3").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
Range("B3").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
Range("A3").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("A3:A" & Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Range("B3").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("B3:B" & Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Range("A1").Select
End Sub

Please replace your old macro with it.

Hope that helps

Here are the macro steps:

• Imports the source file I provided,
• adds 2 columns (Shipmentid and Name) in addition to the columns in the source file.
• It takes what is in B1 in the source as Shipmentid and copies down the new column A
• It takes what is in B2, copies down the new column B
• Deletes the top rows up to the headings so that the whole file becomes one uniform table. 

This works fine except when there is a single in the source. I have attached both the Excel file and the different files that are used as the source. 

The macro is created to import the file called current.tsv. We just swap the files we want to import by renaming them "current.tsv". So I provided one sith single line and another with multiple. The one with multiple works fine but single one returns error as the VBA seems to have a problem with it. 

Curious situation. I hope this helps.
