Simple Data Sort & Merge Code.

Simple Data Sort & Merge Code. ​

Hi,
. I don’t have a specific problem, but am just looking for alternative (Better?) methods of achieving something:-
. I am still very new (that is to say a very late starter!) to Programming. I am creating one massive Main data File. That involves bringing in data typically in simple tables from various sources, such as Internet sites. The format from these tables is always a bit different, or uses different names or spellings for the same quantities. To speed this up a bit I use VBA to bring the data into the correct place in the main file. .
. The following code, (first Abbreviated without comments), demonstrates my technique):-


<font face=Calibri><SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN> BringProductAndItsNutritionValuesIntoMainFileAbbrev()<br><SPAN style="color:#00007F">Let</SPAN> MainFile = "MrExcelSortBeispielMainFile.xlsm"<br><SPAN style="color:#00007F">Let</SPAN> InputFile = "MrExcelSortBeispielFileToBeInputInMainFile.xlsx"<br><br><SPAN style="color:#00007F">For</SPAN> j = 1 <SPAN style="color:#00007F">To</SPAN> 40<br>    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">For</SPAN> x = 1 <SPAN style="color:#00007F">To</SPAN> 24<br>        <SPAN style="color:#00007F">For</SPAN> y = 1 <SPAN style="color:#00007F">To</SPAN> 10<br>            <SPAN style="color:#00007F">If</SPAN> Windows(InputFile).ActiveSheet.Cells(j, 1).Value = Windows(MainFile).ActiveSheet.Cells(y, x).Value And _<br>                Windows(InputFile).ActiveSheet.Cells(j, 1).Value <> "" <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Then</SPAN><br>                Windows(MainFile).ActiveSheet.Cells(ActiveCell.Row, x).Value = Windows(InputFile).ActiveSheet.Cells(j, 2).Value<br>            <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Else</SPAN><br>            <SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">If</SPAN><br>        <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Next</SPAN> y<br>    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Next</SPAN> x<br><SPAN style="color:#00007F">Next</SPAN> j<br><SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN></FONT>

……….
. Here is the full code with comments):-

. A typical table for incorporating into the Main file could look like):-

. The program does nothing more than sort the data into the correct columns in the Main File. What is perhaps unusual, unique (or stupid??) is that the headings are in 10 rows instead of the usual one first row. That gives flexibility and it works fine for me. I would like to keep it simple and certainly avoid learning ACCESS (which would not be able to cope with the size of my final main file anyway!!). As I have virtually no experience I thought I would drop the idea in the forum on the off-chance that a Profi could point me in the direction of a more usual way that something of this nature is done?? I did try a similar process using Arrays in VBA, but had to give up on that because some of my files are German and I could not get over the continue problems caused by the different German and English conventions for comers and points in Decimal Points and Thousand Separators (http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/questi...cations-komma-punkt-tausend-zahl-problem.html ).
. Any suggestions for improvements or comments generally on my Sort method are welcome.
Thanks,
Alan

P.s. 1) here are the two files: (They must both be open in a Window for the code to work)

in Excel 2007 ( .xlsm and .xlsx)
Main File (With Macros in Module “InputToMainFile”) - FileSnack | Easy file sharing
File for Input - FileSnack | Easy file sharing
;
And in Excel 2003 (.xls and .xls) FileSnack | Easy file sharing
Main File (With Macros in Module “InputToMainFile”) - FileSnack | Easy file sharing
File for Input -

Note: The main File is just an Example I made for the Thread. The actual main File to stand looks like This!!!! ):- FileSnack | Easy file sharing

P.s. 2) I use mostly excel 2007 and 2010 in XP and Vista… ( But I’m thinking of going backward and using 2003)

Hi,
. Just trying my luck again with this Thread, on the off-chance anyone has any ideas, for improvement, or general comments. It works for me, but I am keen to get things done a bit more professionally. (I did a correction that stopped it being a "No Response Button" candidate so might have missed out that way)
Thanks,
Alan

Hi

(Bump). Or rather I am mainly just being responsible for an old thread of mine which although had no replies seems to have been viewed quite a bit. So I mainly I just wanted to update the files I gave for some minor typo’s.
. Having said that any suggestions at all for improvements in the Simple Sort Macro, or general comments are welcome, although since posting this thread in July I have already improved my knowledge with very simple sorting thanks to participating in and answering such threads, and particularly from seeing the responses to more experienced members


So, :- Files again with a few minor typo corrections

XL2007 main File (With Macro in Module InputToMainFileSimpleSort)
FileSnack | Easy file sharing
XL2007 File for input
FileSnack | Easy file sharing

XL2003 main File (With Macro in Module InputToMainFileSimpleSort)
FileSnack | Easy file sharing
XL2003 File for input
FileSnack | Easy file sharing

Hope it may help people stumbling across this Thread in the Future. If the simplest sort of sorting is of interest to you may find my replies to other simple sorting useful. But there are many more competent replies from other members, for example hiker95. As always a “site:MrExcel.com Google“ thing is always worth a shot. See my signature below.

…. I think this is a useful “follow-up” to this Thread (even if I do take the liberty of amusing myself and treating it somewhat light heartedly.….. )

Hi Alan,
. Firstly well done on your learning of VBA since joining MrExcel Forum.
. Coming back now to the original questions for improvements to the simple sort Program given in Post #1:
. 1 ) The real answer or “Profi” way to do it wound be:
. Firstly Capture the property of the ranges of interest to you ( in this case Value2 ) into an Array in a nice one liner. See here for example:
Range Dimensioning, Range and Value Referencing and Referring to Arrays
. Having done that you can go on to do all your complicated sorting, even much more complicated than in this example in code lines manipulating the inputted Arrays. The point here is that the speed advantages of working “internally” as it were over any method that continually references the Spreadsheet are so great that you do not have to worry too much about how complicated the lines manipulating the data are. Tests by many people often show that using complicated routines in code lines to achieve the things obtainable through a simple aplication of OOP dot stuff " .DoAllThat " can in fact be a lot faster. ( Many profis still resort back therefore to this method which looks then more like old fashioned programming code.. )
.. Along these lines, your required output should be written within these routines to an output Array. Once “full” this Array can usually be “re-written out” as it were in a “one Liner, again minimizing the interaction with the spreadsheet.
. Other things to bear in mind are, for example, getting a good understanding of the “Key - Item Pair Microsoft Scripting Runtime Dictionary (MSRD) Thing” which in sorting codes often comes in very useful, particularly where the requirement of the MSRD having unique keys (“identification things”) for it’s constituent Dictionary Items. Remember also to be very careful with explicitly defining things, especially References to specific spreadsheet Ranges. For detailed explanations of the above see the many Threads of this sorting nature that you have answered where you destroyed the codes with green explaining comments! color=grey](if you can find them??)…. Then a few at the end / in next thread.. .[/color]…..

. 2 ) Having said all that, if you are not doing your sorting too often speed may not be too important and a simple “Spreadsheet” type approach as given in your simple example at the beginning of this thread can certainly be a lot easier to “follow “ through and understand. At least if you can somehow get those annoying comments “off the screen” as it were, as they are to (not to) see in the VB Development Environment Window ( You can then scroll right if you need to see them. ). The Watch window can help to see what is going on with an Array tape sorting code. But the Watch Window can be difficult to navigate when Arrays are large.
. 2 a) Occasionally there are useful methods and Properties of Range Objects which simply are not possible in Arrays. Let me see now if I can give some real VBA feedback to this Thread to demonstrate ….. Consider you have that untypical “extra loop for your untypical “multiple headings”
.. looking again at those sheets , the “Data for input”

. An “Improvement” - You can do away with both your extra “Heading Loop” and also the check for an empty Look up cell.
. But knowing about exactly how these things work tend to rely on a lot of experience and are rarely documented well. Based on a sort of “Match On Error Pair” Trick. … for example touched on here.. (My Code explanations (also everywhere in my ‘Comments[color]….. ) and TMS Error explanations)[color]…..
.Match with On Error: On Error Resume Next works. On Error GoTo only works once. Err.Clear
…. And in the new codes below…and big ones in next Post #6)
.
. So finally a code alternative to that in Post #1.

Code with Comments:

But we either error here or have an indicie of  1,  2,, 3.... etc. Also you error if trying to match an empty cell.[/color]
                    [color=lightgreen]'Error Situation: We had no match so we actually go to next bit which is the Here or rasther End If as nothing is here[/color]

. That is the sort of “improvement” you were hoping to get from this Thread. Instead you have with kind help from this and recently other Forums been able to learn enough to come up with things like that yourself. Which is better in the long run ( for all of me’s / us ? )

. Nice Follow – Up! Thanks Alan ( u m nutter! )

P.s. FileSnack closed down, so the sample Files wes gaves are not available. So here they are again via Box

XL2007.xlsm main File (With Macro in Module InputToMainFileSimpleSort)

… and while you are here
P.s. 2.
.. a recent real Life example relevant to you of The “VBA Array” versus “Spreadsheet” approach. Based on what you have learnt from MrExcel you have initial “real life” Files .

. Just goes to show the advantage of working with Arrays (even if multiple loops are involved)..and the last mod “Match On Error Pair” was not always the “Bringer” always** either… **although looking at a particular computer and or a particular XL version is always worth a try..?!?.!!
