Here B column indicates family ID and 4037 last row number

How may members of a Family submitted Aadhar COUNTIFS?

Purpose

To count how may members in a Family & among them how many submitted Aadhar

Subtraction cells only if both have a value in Excel else it will be Blank

subtraction two cells in excel but only if both cells have a value. More specifically in my case the formula in cell C2 is currently

=B2-A2 but I only want this to be calculated when B2 has a value or A2 has a value. I tried this formula

=IF(AND(B2<>"",A2<>""),B2-A2," ")

You can use the ISBLANK function:

=IF(OR(ISBLANK(A2),ISBLANK(B2)),"",B2-A2)

Use of Wildcards in Excel

Excel provides three “wildcards” for matching text in formulas:

Character	Name	Purpose
*	Asterisk	Match zero or more characters
?	Question mark	Match any one character
~	Tilde	Match literal wildcard

Wildcards can be used alone or combined to get a variety of matching behaviors:

Usage	Behavior	Will match
?	Any one character	“A”, “5”, “c”, “z”, etc.
??	Any two characters	“AA”, “AZ”,”7q” ,”zz”, etc.
???	Any three characters	“Jet”, “AAA”, “ccc”, etc.
*	Any characters	“apple”, “APPLE”, “A100”, etc.
*th	Ends in “th”	“bath”, “fourth”, etc.
c*	Starts with “c”	“Cat”, “CAB”, “cindy”, “candy”, etc.
?*	At least one character	“a”, “b”, “ab”, “ABCD”, etc.
???-??	5 characters with hypen	“ABC-99″,”100-ZT”, etc.
*~?	Ends in question mark	“Hello?”, “Anybody home?”, etc.
xyz	Contains “xyz”	“code is XYZ”, “100-XYZ”, “XyZ90”, etc.

Here are a few examples of using wildcards for criteria in the COUNTIFS function.

=COUNTIFS(A1:A100,"*red*") // count cells that contain "red"
=COUNTIFS(A1:A100, "www*") // count cells starting with "www"
=COUNTIFS(A1:A100,"?????") // count cells with 5 characters

First Date and Last Date of a month

List of top 100 macro Examples (CODES) for VBA beginners

I’ve added all the codes into specific categories so you can find your favorite codes quickly. Just read the title and click on it to get the code.

Quick Navigation:

Basic Codes Formatting Codes Printing Codes Worksheet Codes Workbook Codes Pivot Table Codes

Charts Codes Advanced Codes

Basic Codes

These VBA codes will help you to perform some basic tasks in a flash which you frequently do in your spreadsheets.

1. Add Serial Numbers

This macro code will help you to automatically add serial numbers in your Excel sheet which can be helpful for you if you work with large data.

Sub AddSerialNumbers()
Dim i As Integer
On Error GoTo Last
i = InputBox("Enter Value", "Enter Serial Numbers")
For i = 1 To i
ActiveCell.Value = i
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
Next i
Last:Exit Sub
End Sub

To use this code you need to select the cell from where you want to start the serial numbers and when you run this it shows you a message box where you need to enter the highest number for the serial numbers and click OK.

And once you click OK, it simply runs a loop and add a list of serial numbers to the cells downward.

2. Insert Multiple Columns

This code helps you to enter multiple columns in a single click. When you run this code it asks you the number columns you want to add and when you click OK, it adds entered number of columns after the selected cell.

Sub InsertMultipleColumns()
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Select
On Error GoTo Last
i = InputBox("Enter number of columns to insert", "Insert Columns")
For j = 1 To i
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromRightorAbove
Next j
Last: Exit Sub
End Sub

If you want to add columns before the selected cell, replace the xlToRight to xlToLeft in the code.

3. Insert Multiple Rows

With this code, you can enter multiple rows in the worksheet. When you run this code, you can enter the number of rows to insert and make sure to select the cell from where you want to insert the new rows.

Sub InsertMultipleRows()
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Select
On Error GoTo Last
i = InputBox("Enter number of columns to insert", "Insert Columns")
For j = 1 To i
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromRightorAbove
Next j
Last: Exit Sub
End Sub

If you want to add rows before the selected cell, replace the xlToDown to xlToUp in the code.

4. Auto Fit Columns

This code quickly auto fits all the columns in your worksheet. So when you run this code, it will select all the cells in your worksheet and instantly auto-fit all the columns.

Sub AutoFitColumns()
Cells.Select
Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
End Sub

This code quickly auto fits all the columns in your worksheet. So when you run this code, it will select all the cells in your worksheet and instantly auto-fit all the columns.

5. Auto Fit Rows

You can use this code to auto-fit all the rows in a worksheet. When you run this code it will select all the cells in your worksheet and instantly auto-fit all the row.

Sub AutoFitRows()
Cells.Select
Cells.EntireRow.AutoFit
End Sub

6. Remove Text Wrap

This code will help you to remove text wrap from the entire worksheet with a single click. It will first select all the columns and then remove text wrap and auto fit all the rows and columns.

Sub AutoFitRows()
Cells.Select
Cells.EntireRow.AutoFit
End Sub

There’s also a shortcut that you can use (Alt + H +‌W) for but if you add this code to QAT it’s way more than keyboard shortcut.

7. Unmerge Cells

This code simply uses the unmerge options which you have on the HOME‌ tab. The benefit of using this code is you can add it to the QAT and unmerge all the cell in the selection.

Sub UnmergeCells()
Selection.UnMerge
End Sub

And if you want to un-merge a specific range you can define that range in the code by replacing the word selection.

8. Open Calculator

In Windows, there is a specific calculator and by using this macro code you can open that calculator directly from Excel.

Sub OpenCalculator()
Application.ActivateMicrosoftApp Index:=0
End Sub

As I mentioned that it’s for windows and if you run this code in the MAC version of VBA you’ll get an error.

9. Add Header/Footer Date

This macro adds a date to the header when you run it. It simply uses the tag “&D” for adding the date. You can also change it to the footer or change the side by replacing the “” with the date tag.

Sub DateInHeader()
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftHeader = ""
.CenterHeader = "&D"
.RightHeader = ""
.LeftFooter = ""
.CenterFooter = ""
.RightFooter = ""
End With
End Sub

And if you want to add a specific date instead of the current date you can replace the “&D” tag with that date from the code.

10. Custom Header/Footer

When you run this code, it shows an input box that asks you to enter the text which you want to add as a header, and once you enter it click OK.

Sub CustomHeader()
Dim myText As String
myText = InputBox("Enter your text here", "Enter Text")
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftHeader = ""
.CenterHeader = myText
.RightHeader = ""
.LeftFooter = ""
.CenterFooter = ""
.RightFooter = ""
End With
End Sub

Formatting Codes

These VBA codes will help you to format cells and ranges using some specific criteria and conditions.

11. Highlight Duplicates from Selection

This macro will check each cell of your selection and highlight the duplicate values.

You can also change the color from the code.

Sub HighlightDuplicateValues()
Dim myRange As Range
Dim myCell As Range
Set myRange = Selection
For Each myCell In myRange
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(myRange, myCell.Value) > 1 Then
myCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 36
End If
Next myCell
End Sub

12. Highlight the Active Row and Column

I really love to use this macro code whenever I have to analyze a data table.

Here are the quick steps to apply this code.

Open VBE (ALT + F11).
Go to Project Explorer (Ctrl + R, If hidden).
Select your workbook & double click on the name of a particular worksheet in which you want to activate the macro.
Paste the code into it and select the “BeforeDoubleClick” from event drop down menu.
Close VBE and you are done.

Remember that, by applying this macro you wi ll not able to edit the cell by double click.

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range,
Cancel As Boolean)
Dim strRange As String
strRange = Target.Cells.Address & "," Target.Cells.EntireColumn.Address & "," & _
Target.Cells.EntireRow.Address
Range(strRange).Select
End Sub

13. Highlight Top 10 Values

Just select a range and run this macro and it will highlight top 10 values with the green color.

Sub TopTen()
Selection.FormatConditions.AddTop10
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).S
tFirstPriority
With Selection.FormatConditions(1)
.TopBottom = xlTop10Top
.Rank = 10
.Percent = False
End With
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font
.Color = -16752384
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Interior
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Color = 13561798
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
Selection.FormatConditions(1).StopIfTrue = False
End Sub

14. Highlight Named Ranges

If you are not sure about how many named ranges you have in your worksheet then you can use this code to highlight all of them.

Sub HighlightRanges()
Dim RangeName As Name
Dim HighlightRange As Range
On Error Resume Next
For Each RangeName In ActiveWorkbook.Names
Set HighlightRange = RangeName.RefersToRange
HighlightRange.Interior.ColorIndex = 36
Next RangeName
End Sub

15. Highlight Greater than Values

Once you run this code it will ask you for the value from which you want to highlight all greater values.

Sub HighlightGreaterThanValues()
Dim i As Integer
i = InputBox("Enter Greater Than Value", "Enter Value")
Selection.FormatConditions.Delete
Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue,
Operator:=xlGreater, Formula1:=i
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).S
tFirstPriority
With Selection.FormatConditions(1)
.Font.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)
.Interior.Color = RGB(31, 218, 154)
