[SOLVED] Using _Excel_RangeInsert to insert values through variables into Excel


Recommended Posts

How do I use variables to insert an empty cell/row into Excel using the Autoit function? _Excel_RangeInsert

I know my code works if I use:

 _Excel_RangeInsert($OpenWorkbook.ActiveSheet, "D4:D5", $xlShiftDown)

However, I do not want just one change. I want the D4 and D5 to be variables so I can add many empty cells/rows wherever the columns do not match.

I am using this to check two columns in excel and if they do not match I want to insert an empty cell/row at the index of column D

Please help.

For $Index = 2 To $IndexRows Step 1                                     
    Local $ExcelValue_C = _Excel_RangeRead($OpenWorkbook, Default, "C"&$Index)
    $Col_C_Array[$Array_Index] = $ExcelValue_C                          ;While the code loops every value in colum C is stored in the C array

    Local $ExcelValue_D = _Excel_RangeRead($OpenWorkbook, Default, "D"&$Index)
    $Col_D_Array[$Array_Index] = $ExcelValue_D                          ;While the code loops every value in colum D is stored in the D array
    if $Col_C_Array[$Array_Index] <> $Col_D_Array[$Array_Index] then    ;Checks to see if the Value at index element in Array C and Array D are not the same
       _Excel_RangeInsert($OpenWorkbook.ActiveSheet, "D4:D5", $xlShiftDown)
                                                                        ;Inserts a new row in column D. 
    EndIf
    $Array_Index += 1
Next

You already use a variable in the _Excel_RangeRead statement. Use the same approach for _Excel_RangeInsert.

I Used 

_Excel_RangeInsert($OpenWorkbook.ActiveSheet, "D"&$Index, $xlShiftDown)

and it worked! I had the answer in front of me this whole time. Thank you very much, user: Water, you have no idea the headache you have saved me from.

This may be a dumb question but can I use? 

_Excel_RangeInsert($OpenWorkbook.ActiveSheet, "D"&$Index, "E"&$Index, $xlShiftDown)

to insert an empty cell/row into columns D and E?

 

Again thank you very much for helping me.

You inserted an additional parameter ("E"&$Index). This doesn't work.
Concatenate to one parameter like:

_Excel_RangeInsert($OpenWorkbook.ActiveSheet, "D" & $Index & ":E" & $Index, $xlShiftDown)
