Hi,
Anyone can help me to understand, why cannot put the range as F: F to copy the formula for the entire column F from cell F5 instead of need to specify the range F6:F30? What if in future, the row of data increase from row#30 to 50?
Sub CopyDownFormula()
'
' CopyDownFormula Macro
'
Range("F5").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("F6:F30").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-15
End Sub
Thank you

Hi Chiew Yen
If you need to have the formula expand downwards when data is added, then I suggest you convert your range into an Excel Table.
In an Excel Table, the formula in column F will auto copy downwards whenever any new record is added. No need to use any macro.
BTW the copy macro above can be shortened to
Sub CopyDownFormula()
Range("F5").Copy Range("F6:F30")
End Sub
Hope this helps.

Good Idea Sunny. However, I am having a complicated coding from copy raw data into summary sheet with adding new column --> highlight the new column --> add the formula for new column and need to draw a spark-line at new column call trend. In addition, need to do the mapping by WW.
This macro coding make me headache for few days. I need to submit my project by this Saturday.
Do you have any better idea to share with me? attached is my testing file.
Thank you.

For a variable length column you can add a variable like the below then use that as part of the range
Sub LastRowX()
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row 'the "a" is the column you want to know the last row on
Range("A1:a" & LastRow).Select 'this would select the range
End Sub
The range can then be selected/copied or what ever with the
Probably the most useful thing i have added to my Macros
Hi Purfleet,
Thank you for your suggestion. However, I still not get the formula copy. Anything wrong with my coding? I used both method for the last row and the range. But still not able to get the formula copy. Could you pls help to correct me if I am wrong? Thank you.
Sub Formula()
'Formula Macro
Range("F6").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(RC[11]:RC[15])),0,AVERAGE(RC[11]:RC[15]))"
Range("F6").Select
Range("F6").Copy
Dim LastRow As Long
'LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp).Row 'the "a" is the column you want to know the last row on
Range("F5:F5" & LastRow).Select 'this would select the range

not sure what your data looks like, but you seem to be counting the rows in column F with
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp).Row 'the "a" is the column you want to know the last row on
but the only thing in F is the formula from
Range("F6").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(RC[11]:RC[15])),0,AVERAGE(RC[11]:RC[15]))"
You also can simplfiy the code by getting rid of the select & copy
Sub Formula()
'Formula Macro
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row ' NUMBER ROW YOU HAVE IN THE DATA
Range("F5:F" & LastRow) = "=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(RC[11]:RC[15])),0,AVERAGE(RC[11]:RC[15]))"
End Sub
Explanation
Dim LastRow As Long - Sets the Variable
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row ' NUMBER ROW YOU HAVE IN THE DATA - Counts the rows in Column E
Range("F5:F" & LastRow) = "=IF(ISERROR(AVERAGE(RC[11]:RC[15])),0,AVERAGE(RC[11]:RC[15]))" - Creates the formula in each cell in F5 to F and the number of the lastrow
