Hello everyone

Right I have a problem that I just can’t solve. I’ve posted something similar before and someone suggested power query but I don’t know it, never used it (although I will do as it looks great) but I have a big scheduling job and not much time so a VBA solution would be the best option for now.

So I have a workbook and there are 3 Sheets

Sheet 1 is a extract of a 1000+ line spreadsheet that I need to split into individual lines based on the data in Column F which relates to week numbers in which teaching is going to take place.

Sheet1


The data in COLUMN F is in the format of week numbers so you will see that it can be entered as a week range e.g. 1-5 or Singles weeks like 1, or several weeks 1,5,6 or a combination of these. So you will see in the example below, COLUMN F3 shows 3-5, 10-12, 16, 19

So Course 2 is being taught on a Wednesday on weeks 3 to 5 and then weeks 10-12 and then on week 16 and week 19.

Sheet 2 contains a list of all week numbers and dates which Sheet 1 should reference

Sheet 3


So sticking with the Course 2 example above I need the output to reproduce the date on Sheet 1, but to split out each teaching session onto a separate line so each week of teaching has it’s own line. So in this case the lines are:

Week 3 - 13-Oct-21

Week 4 – 20-Oct-21

Week 5 – 27-Oct-21

Week 10 – 1-Dec-21

Week 11 – 8-Dec-21

Week 12 – 15-Dec-21

Week 16 – 12-Jan-22

Week 19 - 2-Feb-22

So COLUMN F contains a date not a week range.

I have to submit this by 9am on Monday and it’s just going to be impossible to split it out manually. Can anyone help with some code to do this?

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
OK if it it makes it easier I can change the week ranges to be in the same format i.e. 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 23, 26 so it's always just a series of numbers rather than a combination of numbers and ranges.

You can test this one...
VBA Code:
Sub SplitWeekRanges()

    Dim vWS1 As Worksheet, vWS2 As Worksheet, vWS3 As Worksheet
    Dim vA1, vA2(), vA3()
    Dim vS, vSS
    Dim vN As Long, vN1 As Long, vN2 As Long, vN3 As Long
    Dim vR As Long, vNR As Long, vX As Long
    Dim vD As Integer
    Dim vT As String
    
    Set vWS1 = Sheets("Sheet1")
    Set vWS2 = Sheets("Sheet2")
    Set vWS3 = Sheets("Sheet3")
    vR = 1
    vA1 = vWS1.UsedRange
    ReDim vA3(UBound(vA1) - 1)
    ReDim vA2(UBound(vA1) - 1)
    For vN = 2 To UBound(vA1)
        vS = Split(vA1(vN, 6), ",")
        vT = Mid(Replace(SplitWeeks(vS), " ", ""), 2)
        vNR = vNR + UBound(Split(vT, ",")) + 1
        vA2(vN - 1) = vT
    Next vN
    ReDim vA3(1 To vNR + 1, 1 To 12)
    For vN = 2 To UBound(vA1)
        vT = vA1(vN, 7)
        vD = vWS2.Rows(1).Find(vT).Column
        For vN2 = 1 To UBound(Split(vA2(vN - 1), ",")) + 1
            vR = vR + 1
            vT = Application.Index(vWS2.UsedRange, _
                  Split(vA2(vN - 1), ",")(vN2 - 1) + 1, vD)
            For vN3 = 1 To 5
                   vA3(vR, vN3) = vA1(vN, vN3)
            Next vN3
            vA3(vR, 6) = vT
            For vN3 = 7 To 12
                   vA3(vR, vN3) = vA1(vN, vN3)
            Next vN3
        Next
    Next vN
    vWS3.Cells.ClearContents
    vWS3.[A1].Resize(UBound(vA3), 12) = vA3
    With vWS3
        .Range("J2:L" & vNR + 1).NumberFormat = "hh:mm"
        .Range("F2:F" & vNR + 1).NumberFormat = "mm-dd-yy"
        vWS1.[A1:L1].Copy .[A1:L1]
        .[F1] = "Delivery Dates"
    End With
    
End Sub

Function SplitWeeks(ByVal vS)
        
        For vN1 = 0 To UBound(vS)
            If InStr(1, vS(vN1), "-") Then
                vSS = Split(vS(vN1), "-")
                vX = vSS(1) - vSS(0) + 1
                For vN2 = 1 To vX
                    vT = vT & "," & vSS(0) - 1 + vN2
                Next vN2
                GoTo EX
            End If
             vT = vT & "," & vS(vN1)
EX:  Next vN1
        SplitWeeks = vT
        
End Function

Works perfectly - thanks very much mate. You have saved my Sunday!

Thanks I just posted another query re identifying clashes in scheduling as having gone through the raw data last night it seems there is quite a few. Thanks for your help and enjoy your Sunday too.

Hey mate - thanks for this and thanks to your reply to my other thread that I need to test still. I'm trying this macro and it keeps tripping up at the following point on my real data : vD = vWS2.Rows(1).Find(vT).Column can you confirm what this relates to? I've tried a few things to clean up data but it doesn't work. Thanks very much. Mark

Mate don't worry it's definitely my data. I need to pinpoint the problem. Cheers and thanks again for everything

Hi Mark,

Your error is being generated due to the "scheduled days column". if there is more than one value (i.e. Tuesday, Wednesday...) in column G, it will throw the error that you mention [vD = vWS2.Rows(1).Find(vT).Column].

What is required is another loop of some sort to split the days as well as the ranges. then populate all as separate teaching sessions on sheet 3. the loop will have to allow for all days of the week to extracted since a session could technically be scheduled on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

@EXCEL MAX if you have a solution for this, you will really help me as I am looking for just the same.
