if column A has text and column G is blank then copy row to new spreadsheet

Question

I am trying to create a summary list for people in a downstream application to feed several of my production machines. Each machine is going to have their own tab to request material, and I want all of their requests to be summarized on one tab (called "Core_Cutter_List").

So basically I am trying to create a VBA that will copy over a row from spreadsheet "2" into the next blank line on spreadsheet "Core_Cutter_List". I want it to copy if there is text in column A and column G is blank. I have limited knowledge of VBA. The code that I found was able to only test for one of my criteria which was that column G is blank, but basically it runs through every single cell on my file. Do you know how I can add the other criteria of column A having text in it so that it doesn't look through every cell on my sheet? Thanks for any help!

Sub Test()

  Sheets("2").Select

For Each Cell In Sheets(1).Range("G:G")
    If Cell.Value = "" Then
        matchRow = Cell.Row
        Rows(matchRow & ":" & matchRow).Select
        Selection.Copy

        Sheets("Core_Cutting_List").Select
        ActiveSheet.Rows(matchRow).Select
        ActiveSheet.Paste
        Sheets("2").Select
    End If
Next
End Sub

Answer 1

If you need two conditions, then you should write them carefully in the IF statement with And :

Something like If cell.Value = "" And Len(cell.Offset(0,-6)) Then should be workable.

Using Select is a bit not advisable, but it works at the beginning - How to avoid using Select in Excel VBA

Answer 2

The Sub bellow does the following

• Determine the last used row in Worksheets("2") based on values in column A
• Determine the last used col in Worksheets("2") based on values in row 1
• Determine the last used row in Worksheets("Core_Cutter_List") based on values in column A
• Loop through all used rows in Worksheets("2")
  • If the cell in col A is not empty And cell in col G is empty
    • Copy entire row to next empty row in Worksheets("Core_Cutter_List")
    • Increment next empty row for Worksheets("Core_Cutter_List")
  • Loop to the next used row in Worksheets("2")

Option Explicit

Public Sub CopyRows()
    Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet, ws1r As Range, ws2r As Range
    Dim ws1lr As Long, ws1lc As Long, ws2lr As Long, i As Long

    Set ws1 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("2")
    Set ws2 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Core_Cutter_List")

    ws1lr = ws1.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row        'last row in "2"
    ws1lc = ws1.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column 'last col in "2"
    ws2lr = ws2.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1    'last row in "Core_Cutter"

    For i = 1 To ws1lr

        If Len(ws1.Cells(i, "A")) > 0 And Len(ws1.Cells(i, "G")) = 0 Then

            Set ws1r = ws1.Range(ws1.Cells(i, 1), ws1.Cells(i, ws1lc))
            Set ws2r = ws2.Range(ws2.Cells(ws2lr, 1), ws2.Cells(ws2lr, ws1lc))

            ws2r.Value2 = ws1r.Value2
            ws2lr = ws2lr + 1
        End If

    Next i

End Sub
