Stop data at a given line and continue in another column

Copper Contributor

This is probably simple but I can't figure it out after days of looking and playing around so thank you in advance to whomever helps.

I have a counter set up to fill in data up to whatever number I put in but I need that data to stop counting at line 55 in column A and continue the count on column G row 4.

I'm using Excel 2010

Hi,

 

This is not clear enough!

Let's say that you want to fill the series from 1 to 80, and the starting cell in column A is A1.

So you want to fill the range (A1 to A55) in numbers (1 to 55), then continue the filling in cell G4 from (56 to 80) so that you will stop in cell G28 with the value of 80.

 

Is this what you want?

Yes sorry I wasn't clear enough.  Your example is correct. 

I want the data to snake over to the G column so that I can have the full report on one excel page instead of having one long column that makes me print out more than one page.

How tricky is this!

But finally, I figure it out!

 

This is the code:

Sub Workbook_Open()
    'Written by Haytham Amairah
    'Created: 5/4/2018
    'Last updated: 5/4/2018
    
    On Error GoTo handler
    
    Dim number As Integer
    number = Application.InputBox("Please enter a number:")
    
    If number = False Then Exit Sub
    
    Dim scell As Range
    Set scell = Application.InputBox("Please select the starting cell:", , , , , , , 8)
       
    Dim r As Integer
    
    For counter1 = 1 To number
        If scell.Offset(counter1 - 1).Row <= 55 Then
            r = counter1 - 1
            scell.Offset(r).Value = counter1
        Else
            Exit For
        End If
    Next counter1
    
    r = 0
    
    For counter2 = counter1 To number
            Range("G4").Offset(r).Value = counter2
            r = r + 1
    Next counter2
         
handler:
    
End Sub

 

Please find it in the attached file.
