Rearrange values based on category [VBA]
In this post I am going to rearrange values from a list into unique columns.
Before:
After:
The code
Sub Categorizedatatocolumns()
Dim rng As Range
Dim dest As Range
Dim vrb As Boolean
Dim i As Integer
Set rng = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A4")
vrb = False
Do While rng <> ""
Set dest = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A20")
Do While dest <> ""
If rng.Value = dest.Value Then
vrb = True
End If
Set dest = dest.Offset(0, 1)
Loop
If vrb = False Then
dest.Value = rng.Value
dest.Font.bold = True
End If
vrb = False
Set rng = rng.Offset(1, 0)
Loop
Set rng = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A4")
Do While rng <> ""
Set dest = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A20")
Do While dest <> ""
If rng.Value = dest.Value Then
i = 0
Do While dest <> ""
Set dest = dest.Offset(1, 0)
i = i + 1
Loop
Set rng = rng.Offset(0, 1)
dest.Value = rng.Value
Set rng = rng.Offset(0, -1)
Set dest = dest.Offset(-i, 0)
End If
Set dest = dest.Offset(0, 1)
Loop
Set rng = rng.Offset(1, 0)
Loop
End Sub
