  • 0

I have three columns, A, B and C:
Column A contains names, NAME1, NAME2, etc.
Column B contains only the values “YES” or “NO”.
Column C is suppose to contain the names from column A that have value “YES” in column B.

I can say that as long as the value is “YES” in column B, copy the value from column A to column C. Very simple with: 

C1=IF(B1="YES",A1,"")

But this will include blank cells, which I don’t want to. So I guess I am looking for a way to copy all the names from column A with value “YES” in column B and paste them into column C skipping the blanks.

I did find a VBA project that colors all the cells within a column with a certain value. I am not sure how to edit this into what I need. Here is the code I came up with so far.

ISSUES
1) Runtime Error ‘1004’ Application-defined or Object-defined error
2) Copying from Column A
3) Check and Remove Duplicates from NewRange

EDIT 1: Added comment rows into the code
EDIT 2: Change NewRange to be made from column A with Offset (untested due to runtime error)
EDIT 3: Code for copying form one sheet separated from code for pasting into another sheet
EDIT 4: Added correction from user @abahgat
EDIT 5: Remove duplicates

Sub RangeCopyPaste()
Dim cell As Range
Dim NewRange As Range
Dim MyCount As Long
MyCount = 1

'--> Loop through each cell in column B
'--> Add each cell in column A with value "YES" in column B to NewRange 
For Each cell In Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B30")
    If cell.Value = "YES" Then
        If MyCount = 1 Then Set NewRange = cell.Offset(0,-1)
        Set NewRange = Application.Union(NewRange, cell.Offset(0,-1))
        MyCount = MyCount + 1
    End If
Next cell

'--> Copy NewRange from inactive sheet into active sheet
NewRange.Copy Destination:=activesheet.Range("C1")

'--> Remove Duplicates
activesheet.Range("C1:C30").RemoveDuplicates

End Sub

    This will do the trick:

    Sub RangeCopyPaste()
  Dim cell As Range
  Dim NewRange As Range
  Dim MyCount As Long
  MyCount = 1

  For Each cell In Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B1:B30")
      If cell.Value = "YES" Then
          If MyCount = 1 Then Set NewRange = cell.Offset(0,-1)
          Set NewRange = Application.Union(NewRange, cell.Offset(0,-1))
          MyCount = MyCount + 1
      End If
  Next cell

  NewRange.Copy Destination:=activesheet.Range("D1")

End Sub
