CopyPaste Macro to skip blank cells and zero values OR Delete Blank Cells and zero values

Hi
I am trying to write a copypaste macro that will only paste non-blank or non-zero values (the CopyNonZeroValues macro). The “EXAMPLE_RANGE” the macro is referring to is a worksheet that has a bunch of formula driven outputs. If the formula returns a zero, I have it return/formatted as “”. Based on this I believe the macro is still taking those values. So I tried another macro to clean this up on the “upload” worksheet. However, instead of deleting rows that appear blank, it keeps them. When I test the “blank” cells in column which contains the pasted data I get varying answers. Testing the cell value with a 0=0 returns FALSE but a Len() test returns 0. So that is a bit confusing. There must be a carry over from the original copied data and formula.
Ultimately, I am trying to get one macro that will copypaste data into a new worksheet and not carry over blanks or zero values cells (compress the data so there are not any empty rows) and then write this data to a text file. I have tried the writing to a text file yet because I can’t seem to get by this first step.

Thank you for your consideration.

Here is the code.

Sub CopyNonZeroValues()
' Defines variables
Dim cRange As Range
Set cRange = Range("EXAMPLE_RANGE")
Range("EXAMPLE_RANGE").Copy
Sheets("upload").Range("D4").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, SkipBlanks:=True

End Sub

Sub DeleteAllEmptyRows()
Dim SourceRange As Range
Dim EntireRow As Range

Set SourceRange = Application.Sheets("upload").Range("D1:D600")

If Not (SourceRange Is Nothing) Then
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For I = SourceRange.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
Set EntireRow = SourceRange.Cells(I, 1).EntireRow
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(EntireRow) = 0 Then
EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End If

End Sub

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Hi Akuini,

I have a question. I need the write to file to put quotation marks around all text (excluding lines that start with // or numbers). Please see example below.

"//$DDL 2012.1 'Not this line for example because of the "//" or any other line with "//"
//NewSeries
//Issuer
MUD 'Need quotes on this line and others like it
//IssuerTitle
Harris Co MUD # 105 'Need quotes on this line
//NewSeries
//Issuer

here is the current code.

Sub Write_Directly_to_Text_File()
Dim strFile_Path As String
Dim obj As New DataObject
Dim tx As String
Range("EXAMPLE_RANGE").Copy
obj.GetFromClipboard
tx = obj.GetText
Application.CutCopyMode = False

tx = Replace(tx, vbLf & 0 & vbCr, "")
tx = Replace(tx, vbLf & vbCr, "")
strFile_Path = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\DDL Upload" & Format(Now, "mm_dd_yy h_mm AM/PM") & ".ddl"

Open strFile_Path For Append As #1
Write #1 , tx
Close #1
End Sub

OK, try tyhis:
Note: if you're using Windows 8.1/Excel 2013 there's a bug you should know related to clipboard object. Read this article:
https://www.thespreadsheetguru.com/blog/2015/1/13/how-to-use-vba-code-to-copy-text-to-the-clipboard

And I'm indeed using Windows 8.1/Excel 2013, so when I run this code it will put 4 double quotes instead of 2 around the intended lines.
Let's see how it works on your side.


Code: 
[FONT=Lucida Console][COLOR=Royalblue]Sub[/COLOR] a1112370d()
    [COLOR=Royalblue]Dim[/COLOR] strFile_Path [COLOR=Royalblue]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]String[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=Royalblue]Dim[/COLOR] obj [COLOR=Royalblue]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]New[/COLOR] DataObject
    [COLOR=Royalblue]Dim[/COLOR] tx [COLOR=Royalblue]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]String[/COLOR]

    Range([COLOR=Darkcyan]"A1:A20"[/COLOR]).Copy
    obj.GetFromClipboard
    tx = obj.GetText
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    
        tx = Replace(tx, vbLf & [COLOR=Brown]0[/COLOR] & vbCr, [COLOR=Darkcyan]""[/COLOR])
        tx = Replace(tx, vbLf & vbCr, [COLOR=Darkcyan]""[/COLOR])
        
        ary = Split(tx, vbCrLf)
        [COLOR=Royalblue]For[/COLOR] i = [COLOR=Royalblue]LBound[/COLOR](ary) [COLOR=Royalblue]To[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]UBound[/COLOR](ary)
            
            z = ary(i)
            [COLOR=Royalblue]If[/COLOR] Len(z) > [COLOR=Brown]0[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]Then[/COLOR]
                [COLOR=Royalblue]If[/COLOR] Left(z, [COLOR=Brown]2[/COLOR]) <> [COLOR=Darkcyan]"//"[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]And[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]Not[/COLOR] IsNumeric(Left(z, [COLOR=Brown]1[/COLOR])) [COLOR=Royalblue]Then[/COLOR]
                    ary(i) = Chr([COLOR=Brown]34[/COLOR]) & z & Chr([COLOR=Brown]34[/COLOR])
                [COLOR=Royalblue]End[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]If[/COLOR]
            [COLOR=Royalblue]End[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]If[/COLOR]
            
[I][COLOR=Dimgray]'            Debug.Print z[/COLOR][/I]
        [COLOR=Royalblue]Next[/COLOR]
        
        tx = Join(ary, vbCrLf)
        'Debug.Print tx
        strFile_Path = [COLOR=Darkcyan]"D:\zz\tezt2.txt"[/COLOR] [I][COLOR=Dimgray]'Change to suit[/COLOR][/I]

        Open strFile_Path [COLOR=Royalblue]For[/COLOR] Append [COLOR=Royalblue]As[/COLOR] #[COLOR=Brown]1[/COLOR]
        Write #[COLOR=Brown]1[/COLOR], tx
        Close #[COLOR=Brown]1[/COLOR]
[COLOR=Royalblue]End[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]Sub[/COLOR][/FONT]

Ok, thank you for letting me know. I will read the article and give the code a try. Thanks again and have a great weekend.

Ok, just replace this line:

Code: 
Write #1, tx

with this:

Code: 
Print #1, tx

And you still want to use your previous requirements (i.e removing the blank cell & cell with zero), right?
otherwise just remove this part:

Code: 
        tx = Replace(tx, vbLf & 0 & vbCr, "")
        tx = Replace(tx, vbLf & vbCr, "")
