Adding Text Over Imported Image
Jan 8, 2013
I have imported a jpeg image into Excel but can not figure out how to move it to the "back" so I can add text on top of it. When I make it a "background", it makes duplicate backgrounds when I only want one. Is this the only way and if so, how do I set it so that I only have one image in the workbook?

I have a code that import a txt file to an existing sheet, and works perfectly. I also have a ComboBox named "txtstorey" where users select the level they are working on, ie Ground Floor, Forst Floor etc.
I need to add in a VBA code that add the level that is selected in the cells on the same spreadsheet
For example, the current code import the data like this (It places the data at "$C$1"
Living Room20

I have opened a .txt (by right clicking and selecting Open with rather than open from within Excel) file with numbers using the format 1,234,567.00 but in my country we use 1 234 567,00. So I created a macro changing the , into "" and the . into , and it works fine while creating the macro itself (by using the macro recorder) and the numbers shows and behaves like numbers. However, when running the macro on a new file some numbers remain as text whereas others are numbers. Theres is no common string, eg that numbers starting with - (minus) remains text.
It does then not matter if I go to the format function and select number with decimals and thousand dividor - the number still remains as text. I have also tried the suggested multply by 1 but it still remains as text. The only thing that helps is to either double click on the number or use the Konvert text to number. But I would then have to click each number in the whole table which is what I wanted to avoid.

The problem i'm having is that these data downloads come off the server like this:
01/14/08
so i'm getting the green triangle error "text date with 2 digit year"
with the option to covert it to 19xx or 20xx.
I have to manually select this text and select 20xx before it is recognized by excel for what it is. only after this is the conditional format rule processed, and my 5 day old dates turn their appropriate colors.
When i set up a macro record while i do this date conversion, it does not record any command for this conversion.
Is there any code i can enter that will automatically do this conversion process for me without having to do it by hand?

I immediately began having problems with formulas and pivot tables when I began importing data from an offsite postgreSQL database. For example, "countif" and "sumproduct" formulas invariably return values of 0. I can create pivot tables from the imported data, but nothing with a numerical value will group.
After fighting with this for literally hours, I finally noticed that all numbers in the columns were on the left side of the column meaning that the numerical data is being imported into Excel as text, even though the columns in the spreadsheet into which the data is imported are in number format.
Any way either to import numbers as numbers from the postgreSQL database, or to convert text to numbers after the data is imported.

I have a text file I am importing and using text-to-colums.
Some of the text is "+TOL" "-TOL" and when excel converts to columns it is forcing the text to a formula "=+Tol" "=-Tol" giving me #NAME? in those cells.
I can format the cells as text, which is fine for now since I'm using VBA, but if I need to use any formulas then I'm SOL...

I am importing some data from an in house system. This data includes a date, which is imported as text. I have tried to reformat it using the date format options, but this does not work. The date is required as part of a lookup, and whilst it is formatted as text, the lookup does not work.

I have 85 Html files that I open in excel. The files have a bunch of columns with numbers. Excel handles most of them properly, but if the number looks like a date, it is imported as a date (which it shouldn't be). For example if the number is 13-1, excel handles it fine, but if the number is 12-1, excel thinks it is a date and imports Dec-01. How do I get excel to import it as 12-1?

Following is the master data that's imported from weekly timesheet.
DeptProjNoProjNameEmployee
Dept170000Project1Shawn Johnson
Dept170000Project1Brenda Larry
Dept260010Project2Patrick Leh
Dept170010Project3Shawn Johnson
When imported, the 'ProjNo' is stored in Text format. Now when forecast data is appended to master table, the ProjNo stores as Numbers. I would like to know how I can automatically convert it into Text. The number of records varies every time when imported from the Timesheet.
The other thing is I need AutoFill 'APPROVED' in Column 5 from 2nd row to the last row.

to change the format of some dates that are imported as text.
In a previous request ...

I was shown a way to convert dates correctly.
This solution works perfectly when carried out manually, but doesn't work if a record a macro and then replay it - only some of the dates are converted.
Here is a small sample of the dates I'm working with...

05/10/2007
08/10/2007

I need to clean out unnecessary data from a file, (see attached text file), I'm not sure how to go about this in excel. basically every file starts with 9 cells that needs to be deleted, two cells of real data then one with garbage that needs to be deleted, it goes like that for 40 cells, then again 10 cells of garbage that needs to be deleted, then 40 of real data and goes like that up to 3000 lines, I know it sounds confusing but if you take a look at attached file, at the end I need to have
all cells full of data

I need to bring in 2600 student names from a cvs file and have it formatted to an Excel workbook.
When it imports into the Excel file I need it to populate the proper boxes, such as:
StudentLastName
StudentFirstName
StudentID
GradeLevel
TeacherName
TeacherID
RoomNumber
I have the CVS attached. Hope I can get this done. As you can see it shows the teacher's name with their first initial, their teacher number that they are identified by and their room number. I need the student ID as well but not the phone number and the days of the week. This would save a lot of work.

I am using the following code to import a number of text documents into the same workbook, on seperate sheets and then to save the workbook as an excel file. the problem is that when the file tries to save (red section) I get a message telling me that Excel can not save the workbook in the requested format, I think because it is still trying to save them as text files rather than as an excel workbook. When I try to save manually, selecting .xls as the format it works fine, but I would really like this to be part of the macro to ensure the WB is saved.
Sub ImportFiles()
Dim Sfile As String
Dim count As Integer
Dim ans As String
Dim A As Integer
Dim FileSaveName As String
count = 0
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Do
' Allow user to select the file to open, text files only
Sfile = Application. GetOpenFilename("Text Files(*.txt), *.txt")
' Check that a file has been selected
If Sfile <> "False" Then......................

I have a file with four sheets – File1, File2, Association and LookList. File1&2 are totalled, as is Association sheet but then are checked against each other using the totals. What I need to do is the following (but I am not sure how to do it using macro…)
Step 1 - ‘File1’ Sheet – It all comes in text format. Firstly, convert all of column B=>used range (it may vary to 40k records!) into numbers and total each column.
(I know the principal behind it – have a total variable for ColB, loop through and when it finds >0 then increment buy one and output under the last cell in that column – but I do not know the macro code)
Step 2 - ‘File2’ Sheet – Again, it's in text format. Firstly, convert all of column B=>used range into numbers and total each column(would contain same amount of records
as Step1!) .
Step 3 - ‘Association’ – same steps as for File 1 (again – same number of records).
Step 4 - THEN (and I have NO IDEA how to do this!...) I need to check the File1 & File2 against Association using the lookup and return the Serial number and the Association heading that does not match on a fourth sheet.
The problem is that – for example – Field-1 consists total of more than one column – contains 3 but could contain a total of up to 6 columns! - I understand excel formula ‘vlookup’ but am not sure how to do it when it is a combination of columns and even less when applying it to this! – In fact, for a macro I am not even sure what column format the lookup list should be!

I have a document passed to me that includes information pulled from an internal system.
I want to use some basic formulas to show Totals, averages etc.
However, the SUM function does not work on the data provided unless I select the cell (As if to edit the text) and the press enter.
Is there a quicker way of selecting all of the cells in Column A for example and performing this function on mass, rather than selecting each cell individually.
I have attahced a similar sample copy - My SUM formula is show in cell B15.

I have two macros one of which imports the data and the other processes the data. These macros were created at different times and need to be joined into a single macro that will combine their operations – with slight modification to the importing macro. Let me describe what each of the macros does:
PROCESS macro:
Cycles through the CONTROL CELL on the “1” tab using the VALUES TO TEST. For each value to test it copies the values form the output tabs and pastes them into the A+B tab. Then it removes the duplicate rows there.
Option Explicit
'======================================
Sub PROCESS() 'This subroutine is called when clicking on the first button
Dim i As Long, j As Long, k As Long 'Those are the variables that will browse through the whole sheets
Dim l As Integer 'this will be used to browse through the values to test
Dim TheSearch(1 To 2) As Object 'This is an array of objects that will be used for the search
Dim TheRange As Range 'This will be used to flag the range of duplicates in the output
'Searching for the Text string 'VALUES To TEST' in the sheet "1" in order to know where the array of values to be tested start
Set TheSearch(1) = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count + 10, ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count)).Find(What:="VALUES TO TEST", LookIn:=xlValues, Lookat:=xlWhole)

Programming Excel VBA Macro to do OCR (text recognition) from a prt scr screen capture image and input the text into cells. Currently my Excel file has a push-button, and upon clicking on it the macro pastes into Excel the current clipboard image I have created by pressing prt scr while in another program. The macro then crops the image to the region with the applicable text. I have to then manually type the text I see in image format into the appropriate cells.
the VBA coding to automate this? I'd like it to use the clipboard image and run it through OneNote OCR, after which the applicable text values are automatically entered into the cells. Ideally the code will first crop to the region with the desired text before it does OCR. If this is not feasible, it will need to incorporate a method (keyword search?) to hone in on the desired text after the entire prt scr image has been OCRed.

I need to build excel sheets and be able to convert images to text. I copy the sheet from a web site and all fields in the table come in as text except for one. That field can be 1 of two images. Right now i have to save the xl sheet as html and then Find/Replace the html image code with a + or - sign which is time consuming. Is there a way I can convert he image though excel. I need to be able to sort the sheet as well as pull the data into a separate tab.

What i need is a 'drop down'-box or another method for choosing an image. And also to change the background in a next time:
for example I need to choose a thumbs up, going ok sign, or a cross. And in a way that if last it was ok, now it's a cross that the background turns orange; and if last it was a cross, and nog a thumbs up, the background changes green.
I'm looking for a easy solution that can be copied to several cells.

I'm hoping there is some way to call whatever text is stored in the "alt text" field of images placed in an excel sheet for use as a variable / string reference in a macro.
The "alt text" will not be changed in any way by the macro.

I have a Cell with 3 text boxes spaced horizontally. My boss wants me to figure out a way for when I click each of those text boxes an image appears beside the textbox.
So if i click the first textbox a check appears beside the first textbox. If I click the 3rd textbox then beside the 3rd etc.. Also, In the cell beside it he wants a number to appear when you click the textbox. So say the first textbox is clicked the number "1" appears, the 2nd one is click the number "3" and the 3rd one is clicked the number "6" (for example).
