I've got 2 different UserForms (UserForm & DataMap) with multiple modules in them.

1. Here's the code of my first Form UserForm. Where I'm allowing the user to select a spreadsheet and assign the file name to Importworkbook.

VBA Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
'DataMap.Show vbModeless

    Dim LR, IB As Long
    Dim FileLocation As String
   
    Sheets("Input").Select
    Range("A1").Select
    Sheets("Sheet3").Range("R1").Value = 0
    file = ActiveWorkbook.Name
    LR = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
   
    If LR = 1 Then Else GoTo ok
   
        [B]FileLocation = Application.GetOpenFilename("(*.xlsx),")
       
        If FileLocation = "False" Then
            MsgBox "No file selected to import.", 48
            Unload Me
        Exit Sub
        End If
    End If
   
    Set Importworkbook = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=FileLocation)[/B]
   
    If Importworkbook.Sheets.Count > 1 Then
reIB:
        IB = Application.InputBox("Enter worksheet number", "Worksheet selection", , , , , , 1)
            If IB > Sheets.Count Then
                MsgBox "Invalid Sheet Input, Try Again.", 48, "Entry Required"
                GoTo reIB
            Else
                Sheets(IB).Select
            End If
            GoTo hi
    Else: End If
hi:
    ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Copy
    Workbooks(file).Activate
    Sheets("Sheet3").Select
    Range("P2").Select
        Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=True
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Range("P1").Select
ok:
End Sub

2. Here's the code for my second Form DataMap, where I'm replicating the same set of codes from above. Instead, I just need to get the name of Importworkbook from my earlier code which is assigned in different userform/module. Please assist.

VBA Code:
Sub DataImport()
    Dim LR As Long
    Dim FileLocation As String
    Dim A, A1 As Integer
    LR = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    If LR = 1 Then Else GoTo ok

[B]    FileLocation = Application.GetOpenFilename("(*.xlsx),")
    If FileLocation = "False" Then
        MsgBox "No file selected to import.", 48
        Exit Sub
    End If
    Set Importworkbook = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=FileLocation)[/B]

    ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(2).Activate
    SH = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(4).Cells(Rows.Count, 19).End(xlUp).Row
For A = 2 To SH

'MsgBox DataMap!mastrImportworkbook
    Importworkbook.Worksheets(1).Range(Sheets("Sheet3").Range("T" & A).Value).Copy ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(2).Cells(1, A - 1)
Next A
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(3).Range("A1:u1").Copy
    ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(2).Range("A1:u1").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Range("A1").Select
    Importworkbook.Close
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True

    ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(4).Select
    Range("P2").Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
    Selection.ClearContents
    Range("S2").Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
    Selection.ClearContents
    Range("R1").Select
    Selection.ClearContents
    ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(2).Select
    Range("A1").Select
ok:
   UserForm1.Show
End Sub
 
Hi bcmk29,

new modulewide Variables for the UserForm, Errorhandler added for all procedures.

UserForm_Initialize: filling of modulewide variables added, changed the array from getting the header names to getting both header names and column letter.
cmdAdd: shortened code to just work with UF from uploaded workbook
cmdProc: instead of using a dictionary which woud only allow unique items applied 2 arrays to hold the uniques and all headers. Maximum number of duplicates (not for single items but overall) as constant. Integrated check for the workbook with new data still to be opened.
DataImport: code slightly adapted for the use of column letter

Code behind the UserForm:

VBA Code:

Ciao,

Hi Holger,

Thanks for the revised code. It works as expected.
If you have time can you look into the below thread, please?
I need to replicate the solution provided in VBA or you can suggest a new solution if you know.

Thanks.

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Hi bmck29,

thanks for the feedback.

I took a look at the linked thread but I'm missing information which could be essential in trying to solve the challenge. You mention 11111, 22222, 33333 (5 digits) as well as 123456 (6 digits) but you do not indicate if you want an inputbox to get just one item to search for or if you have a list where those items can be found. Or will you just search for any combination of say more than 3 digits? And what about letters in place of numbers?

How do the numbers look like: 0172 12345678 (german handy number national call), 001-415-642-4321 (american handy number from outside US), 642-4321 (call in the same city), 0800 012 3456. Are those samples formatted in a custom way (displaying just numbers in the formula bar) or are the formatted as displayed? Is the formatting equal to all numbers?

Sorry but for me there are a lot of questions open before I could think of any solution to work on. I hope you will get an answer which will do the trick.

Ciao,
Holger

How do the numbers look like: 0172 12345678 (german handy number national call), 001-415-642-4321 (american handy number from outside US), 642-4321 (call in the same city), 0800 012 3456. Are those samples formatted in a custom way (displaying just numbers in the formula bar) or are the formatted as displayed? Is the formatting equal to all numbers?

Sorry but for me there are a lot of questions open before I could think of any solution to work on. I hope you will get an answer which will do the trick.

Hi Holger,
It's a Phone number column from the 8 Mandatory Fields. The numbers might be repeated/sequenced within a cell example (1111111111, 1234567890) repeated numbers could be any numbers.
I need to find the repeated numbers if more than 5 digits (excluding country code) and highlight them.
If text, NO need to do the finding process.
It's of various countries' data so no specific format.
With my code, I'm able to identify the repeated numbers without any country code and sequence numbers only if it is from the beginning. Ex 9841234567 is not identified.

Also, the below line of code doesn't verify the cell value to be numeric or text. Is there an alternative?
If IsNumeric(tblInput.Range("D2").Value) = True Then GoTo 12

Thanks

Hi bcmk29,

good to hear that at least the run with the test data was okay.

A couple of questions and remarks came up to me, let me put them up. The Numbers are only for having an oriantation, they do not stand for importance.

1. In cmdAdd you wanted Listboxes to be added but there is no further code indicated that should be used by these new LBs. From what I understand I would rather use Labels and add the Caption to these from Sheet3 starting with U10. Altered code may look like

VBA Code:
      Set objNewLB = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.label.1", True)
      With objNewLB
        .Name = "Label" & glngAddCtrls + 9
        .Left = 30
        .Height = 22
        .Width = 108
        .Top = lngUFHeight + (25 * glngAddCtrls)
        .Caption = tblAdmin.Range("U" & glngAddCtrls + 9).Value
      End With

As you can spot from the code I changed the static variable to a public one as I would use that in cmdProc as well.


2. Although this is a minor I would check the number of the imported headers to equal or exceed 8 for both cmdAdd and cmdProc, otherwise you will run into trouble when trying to import the data. Start of code for cmdAdd may look like

VBA Code:
  lngLR_P = tblAdmin.Cells(tblAdmin.Rows.Count, 16).End(xlUp).Row
  lngLR_U = tblAdmin.Cells(tblAdmin.Rows.Count, 21).End(xlUp).Row

  If lngLR_P >= 9 + glngAddCtrls Then
    If cblnHaHoBe Then

while at the end this code would be entered

VBA Code:
    End If
  Else
    MsgBox "Please check the data in '" & gwkbImport.FullName & vbCrLf & _
            "as the number of Headers to import does not equal at least '" & _
            8 + glngAddCtrls, vbInformation, "Not enough data"
    Unload Me
  End If

3. Right now the comboboxes are left as default. This means that any item from the list may be chosen but as well you may insert any text you want. I would recommend to limit the use to just choose items form the list. Code should be altered in UserForm_Activate

VBA Code:
  For Each objCtrl In Me.Controls
    If TypeOf objCtrl Is MSForms.ComboBox Then
      objCtrl.List = rng2List.Value
      objCtrl.Style = 2
    End If
  Next objCtrl

and cmdAdd_Click

VBA Code:
      With objNewCB
        .Name = "Combobox" & glngAddCtrls
        .Left = 168
        .Height = 22
        .Width = 108
        .Style = 2
        .Top = lngUFHeight + (25 * glngAddCtrls)
        .RowSource = tblAdmin.Name & "!P2:P" & lngLR_P
      End With

The long 2 used here stands for frmStyleDropDownList, the default is 0 or frmStyleDropDownCombo.

4. Up to now you may close the UserForm via X on the right upper top. But as you want to unload the UserForm before calling DataImport any code for cleaning up would be in the wrong place directly behind the userForm (my point of view, I may be totally wrong here). So I added a new public variable gblnCleanUp which is switched to True at the begin of UserForm_Initialize. I added a new procedure to the UserForm

VBA Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Terminate()

  Call CleanUp

End Sub

and one in modStartUF

VBA Code:
Sub CleanUp()
  If gblnCleanUp Then
    gwkbImport.Close False
    Set gwsNewHeader = Nothing
    Set gwkbImport = Nothing
    gblnCleanUp = False
    With tblAdmin
      .Range("P2", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "P").End(xlUp)).ClearContents
      .Range("S2", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "S").End(xlUp)).ClearContents
      .Range("R1").ClearContents
    End With
  End If
  Application.GoTo ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Input").Range("A1"), Scroll:=True
End Sub

And to top all this the code at the end of cmdProc needs to be changed as of now the public variables would be cut

VBA Code:
    If blnComplete Then
      Err.Clear
      On Error GoTo 0
      With tblAdmin
        .Range("S2", .Range("S" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).ClearContents
        For lngCounter = 1 To objColNoDupes.Count
          .Range("S" & lngCounter + 1).Value = objColNoDupes(lngCounter)
        Next lngCounter
      End With
      gblnCleanUp = False
      Unload Me
      Call DataImport
    End If

5. You apply formulas in Sheet3 to get the Information about the columns. This may be done by VBA using WorksheetFunction.VLookUp.

6. The check for the information about the Column Letters isn't foolproof as you may insert a cell address like A32 which would be accepted.

Hi Holger,

By chance did you limit the No of headers a user can add in the userform. I ended up in a scenario where I need to add 5 headers, and when I do that the Proceed button doesn't work. I tried with 4 new headers and the code works without any issue. Please advice.

Hi bcmk29,

in cmdAdd_Click at the beginning the code checks the last row of entries on "Sheet3" in Column P and compares that to 8 headers and the number of the newly added headers. If you want to add additional headers you should modify the codeline

VBA Code:
  If lngLR_P >= 9 + glngAddCtrls Then

to

VBA Code:
  If lngLR_P > 8 + glngAddCtrls Then

which will allow an additional header to double up.

While testing for this I realized that the UserForm gets "out of form" so I slightly altered the code including enabling the button when the maximum is reached (so avoiding any errors):

VBA Code:
Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()
  Dim objNewLB        As Object
  Dim objNewCB        As Object
  Dim lngUFHeight     As Long

  lngLR_P = tblAdmin.Cells(tblAdmin.Rows.Count, 16).End(xlUp).Row
  lngLR_U = tblAdmin.Cells(tblAdmin.Rows.Count, 21).End(xlUp).Row

  If lngLR_P > 8 + glngAddCtrls Then
    glngAddCtrls = glngAddCtrls + 1
    Me.Height = Me.Height + 25
    lngUFHeight = 230
    Set objNewLB = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.label.1", True)
    With objNewLB
      .Name = "Label" & glngAddCtrls + 9
      .Left = 30
      .Height = 22
      .Width = 108
      .Top = lngUFHeight + (25 * glngAddCtrls)
      .Caption = tblAdmin.Range("U" & glngAddCtrls + 9).Value
    End With
    Set objNewCB = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.combobox.1", True)
    With objNewCB
      .Name = "Combobox" & glngAddCtrls
      .Left = 168
      .Height = 22

      .Left = 30
      .Top = lngUFHeight + (25 * (glngAddCtrls + 1))
      If glngAddCtrls > 0 Then
        .Caption = glngAddCtrls & " Fields Added"
      End If
    End With
    If lngLR_P = 8 + glngAddCtrls Then cmdAdd.Enabled = False
  Else
    MsgBox "Please check the data in '" & gwkbImport.FullName & vbCrLf & _
            "as the number of Headers to import does not equal at least " & _
            lngLR_P & "' entires (one to double included)", vbInformation, "Not enough data"
    Unload Me
  End If

Thanks,

VBA Code:
  If tblAdmin.Cells(tblAdmin.Rows.Count, 16).End(xlUp).Row >= 8 + glngAddCtrls Then

This is where the code Exits I changed 9 to 8 and it works fine now. Thanks for the guidance.

Hi Holger,

The below code checks for blanks in the 2nd & 4th cells of a column. I ended in a scenario where the data was present beyond the 4th cell and the code excluded importing the column header.

VBA Code:
        If WorksheetFunction.CountBlank(.Range(.Cells(2, lngCounter), .Cells(4, lngCounter))) = 0 Then

Need help checking blanks for the entire column except header. If true don't import the header or import the header.

Thanks.

The array will hold the number of columns no matter if they have data below or not. It's not the way I would normally handle this but by now it seems to be the easiest change of code to allow what you are asking for instead of rewriting part of the code.

The array will hold the number of columns no matter if they have data below or not. It's not the way I would normally handle this but by now it seems to be the easiest change of code to allow what you are asking for instead of rewriting part of the code.
