Hello, I have a recorded macro worksheet created by someone else, and I am trying to understand the sort steps/actions seen as below. (part of macro)
There is a full list sheet containing all the information, e.g. emails, address, etc, recorded macro segment them to a new tab in the same workbook. The person recorded it also has a worksheet "full list trimmed" in a tab (every cell =trim('full list'!), I can't find this sheet in the recorded macro, not sure why it is created?
Sheets("Emails").Select
Cells.Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Emails").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Emails").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range( _
"S2:S20000"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlDescending, DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Emails").Sort
.SetRange Range("A1:AF20000")
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
Can anyone help me with it? many thanks!
Hi Tina,
When this macro was recorded, a sort was the only action applied to Emails sheet. Most probably, the other sheet has TRIM formulas, but these formulas were added before recording a macro, that's why it's not in the recorded macro, obviously only actions executed after you start the recorder are recorded.
You can try that yourself, start recorder, add a formula to a cell then copy it to the right and down, you'll see how the recorded macro looks.
