Hi All,
i have a VBA macro that allows me to extract ";" separated text into multiple rows. however, i reach the bottom of the excel sheet, ie row# 1048576 and, as a result, i get an error from excel.
how can i encapsulate my macro so that when i reach row# 1048000 the split continues on the ext column (and so on) until i reach the end of the data needed to be split?
my macro is as follows:

VBA Code:
Sub TestSplit_V1()
'
Dim i, n, lastrow As Long
Dim j As Integer
Dim Chain As String
Dim Table() As String

lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row 'identify last row value

n = 1

    For i = 1 To lastrow
    Chain = Cells(i, 2).Value 'Select data to split from 2nd column
    Table() = Split(Chaine, ";") 'Split based on ";"
    For j = 0 To UBound(Table)
        Cells(n, 3).Value = Table(j) 'Writing data on 3rd column
        n = n + 1
    Next 'Next "i"

Next 'Next "n"
    
End Sub

Now i know i'm supposed to add another integer or Long value such as "h" for instance, but there is also a need to go back to the starting row.
i suspect something like Cells(n,h).value and n needs to go back to the value of n = 1 but not sure how to do it.

I also know there is a need to deal with the following:
  • Run macro as long as n < lastrow
  • Change column when i = 1048000 then give i the value of i = 1
Any help out there?
 

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
How about
VBA Code:
Sub lricher()
   Dim i As Long, r As Long, c As Long
   Dim Cl As Range
   Dim Sp As Variant
   
   c = 3
   For Each Cl In Range("B1", Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      Sp = Split(Cl.Value, ";") 'Split based on ";"
      For i = 0 To UBound(Sp)
         If r = 1040001 Then
            r = 1
            c = c + 1
         Else
            r = r + 1
         End If
         Cells(r, c).Value = Sp(i) 'Writing data on 3rd column
      Next i
   Next Cl
End Sub
