Dave:
When I use the following code:
Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()
Range("R:R,T:EE").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
End Sub
This only delete from columnR to columnED inside of data,
but the column R to ED still there, it's become empty
column, is anyway can delete them all?
thanks.

It's me again, I have use your old testme02() macro,
try to concatenate from columnI to columnP, I use your
macro testme02(), but I got out of range, here is my
code:
Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "i").End (xlUp).Row
.Columns("I:I").Insert
With .Range("I1:I" & LastRow)
.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1] & "" "" & RC[2]
& "" "" & RC[3] & "" "" & RC[4] & "" "" & RC[5] & "" ""
&
RC[6] & "" "" & RC[7] & "" "" &RC[8]"
.Value = .Value
End With
.Range("I:Q").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
'.Range("I:Q").EntireColumn.Delete
End With
End Sub
what's wrong with this code, on the columnQ was not
empty
column, has some data, is this code will work on this?
thanks.

Dave:
Which Macro which I use to delete is Macro1() or
Macro1A?
the question I have was:
#2). I need to deleted any column from R to EE, but not
column S column, then delete EF column, I know EF
column
is outside of range?
#1). I need to deleted the column if is empty, also any
of column as "0" and "NA" need to delete as well.
thanks for all the help.

the easy one first.
#2. Record a macro when you do it manually. I
selected
R, and T:EE, then
rightclick|Delete and got something that looked like:
Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()
Range("R:R,T:EE").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
End Sub
(deleting from the right to left will mean you don't
have to adjust the column
letters after the deletion.)
But you could change it to something like:
Option Explicit
Sub Macro1A()
With Activesheet
.range("R:R,T:EE").entirecolumn.delete
end with
End Sub
And column EF was outside of the range. Did you mean
that?
And #1.
To delete the columns that are empty:
Option Explicit
Sub testme01()
Dim myCol As Long
Dim delRng As Range
With ActiveSheet
For myCol = .Range("AD1").Column To .Range
("S1").Column Step -1
If Application.CountA(.Columns(myCol)) = 0
Then
If delRng Is Nothing Then
Set delRng = .Cells(1, myCol)
Else
Set delRng = Union (delRng, .Cells
(1,
myCol))
End If
End If
Next myCol
If delRng Is Nothing Then
'do nothing
Else
delRng.EntireColumn.Delete
End If
End With
End Sub
But I'm confused about the n/a stuff and 0 stuff. Are
you checking one cell,
all cells or if any of them in the column are 0 or N/A?
And do you mean #n/a as in the result from =na() or do
you mean the text N/A
(typed in)?

1).I have one worksheet need to delete the column

columns
is "0" or column is "NA: need to delete as well. how
to
write the macro for that.

thanks for all the help.

Dave:
Thanks for all your effort, I did use the adding
code
you gave to me, can not tell is fast or not, anyway,
thank you so much.
Dave, where I can get good excel Macro on the web
that
way I can learn more?

the easy question first.
An example showing the difference between
the .value
and .text.
Say you have 123456.323 in A1. But you have it
formatted as "$#,##0.00", it'll
show as: $123,456.32
So if I concatenate with .value, I lose all that
nice
formatting. But if I use
the .text, it'll show up just like it appears in
the
cell.
This is useful with dates, too. .value = 37931
could
be
formatted as a date
(mm/dd/yyyy) to show 11/06/2003.
(It's not really Format|Cells|Number tab|Text kind
of
formatting.)
I just ran a test of that merge version
(testme02).
I
put simple data in
A1
1600. It ran pretty quickly.
You can speed it up by adding this to the top of
the
code:
Dim CalcMode As Long
CalcMode = Application.Calculation
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Application.screenupdating = false
and near the bottom:
Application.Calculation = CalcMode
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
It'll stop the flickering of the display, too
(.screenupdating = false).

I use that merge macro, it take a while to run,

like
concatenate one, it only one second, then I got
the
result I need. thanks.
I have one more question when you said in
previous
email:
if your data needs to be formatted
nicely, you could use:
.Value = .Text _
& " " & .Offset (0,
1).Text _
& " " & .Offset (0,
2).Text
how do I write the macro to formatted D E F
columns to
Text, before I run your merge macro script, maybe
data
in
column D,E,F did not formatted as you said, that
why
take
a long time to run, as you mention as above. did
this
formatted macro need to run separately or they
can
combined into merge marco?
Thank you again, your are wonderful.

If you want to delete those columns, then you
have
to
uncomment this line (just
get rid of the leading apostrophe):
'.Value = .Value
It's essentially copy|paste special|values.

Your are a genius. thanks for all the

Do you mean merge like in merge cells or do
you
mean
merge like in concatenate?
I'm gonna guess concatenate.
I'd insert a new column D and use a formula
that
did
the
concatenation, then
convert to values, then delete the original
D:F
(now
E:G).
Option Explicit
Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells
(.Rows.Count, "d").End
(xlUp).Row
.Columns("D
").Insert
With .Range("d1:d" & LastRow)
.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[1] & "" ""
&
RC
[2]
& "" "" & RC[3]"
'.Value = .Value
End With
.Range ("e:g").EntireColumn.Hidden =
True
'.Range ("e:g").EntireColumn.Delete
End With
End Sub
I used the last row of column D to
determine
the
last
row to get a formula.
Change this to a column that always has
data.
And I don't know what's in those columns,
but
it's
not
always best to
concatenate and delete. As you can see it's
really
easy
to put things
together. It's not always as easy to
separate
them
into
the correct fields.
It might be better to leave the formulas
and
just
hide
the columns that the
formulas use.
========
Did you really mean Merge (as in
Format|Cells|Aligment
tab)?
Then maybe something like:
Option Explicit
Sub testme02()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim iRow As Long
With Worksheets("sheet1")
LastRow = .Cells
(.Rows.Count, "d").End
(xlUp).Row
For iRow = 1 To LastRow
With .Cells(iRow, "D")
.Value = .Value _
& " " & .Offset (0,
1).Value
_
& " " & .Offset (0,
2).Value
.Offset(0, 1).Resize(1,
2).ClearContents
End With
Next iRow
.Range("d1:f" & LastRow).Merge
across:=True
End With
End Sub
And one last thing, if your data needs to be
formatted
nicely, you could use:
.Value = .Text _
& " " & .Offset (0,
1).Text _
& " " & .Offset (0,
2).Text
to pick up the format from the cell.
Or you could specify the format you want:
.Value = .Value _
& " " & format
(.Offset
(0,
1).Value,"mm/dd/yyyy") _
& " " & format
(.Offset
(0,
2).Value,"$0.00")
with the Format function.
Inside the worksheet, you'd use something
like:
=text
(a1,"$0.00")

I'm not sure if you got your problem
solved,
but
modifying Ron's code slightly:
Option Explicit
Sub Test()
Dim r As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
For r = .UsedRange.Rows
(.UsedRange.Rows.Count).Row To 1 Step -1
If Application.CountA (.Rows
(r))
=
0 _
Or .Cells(r, "A").Value
= "-
-
--
"
_
Or LCase(.Cells
(r, "A").Value)
= "problem"
_
Or Trim(.Cells
(r, "F").Value)
= ""
Then
.Rows(r).Delete
End If
Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
