Adding Quotation Marks Before And After Text In Range Of Cells Using VBA
Nov 19, 2013
I'm trying to create a shortcut that will allow me to add quotation marks to the begining and end of text in cells. I've tried the following, which works fine when only one cell is highlighted:
VB:
Dim rng As Range
Dim txt As String
Set rng = Selection
txt = """"
rng = txt & rng.Value & txt
However as soon as I highlight more than one cell, it errors. How to make it work for a range of cells?
I have a macro that imports xml and then allows the user to update certain fields. The XML contains many quotation marks and inbound I deal with this by replacing " with ' using Find & Replace.
But before exporting the XML again I need to replace the ' with " but am stuck on how to do this.
For instance I'm trying the following with no success:
I am having a problem with the correct coding needed for a qotation mark
i wish to place a quotation mark around some text with coding example "TEST" by using the code below this appears fine and looks fine when i save the file, however when i open that file in a .txt file i see """TEST"""
This is the coding i am using and can see it may be where the problem lies
I have the following line of Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=2009_15", Operator:=xlAnd
The highlighted portion is going to change from week to week. I have never been able to put a variable inside of quotation marks. I am sure it is simple, which explains why it is out of my mental grasp. how I can assign a variable in there?
To prevent the display of values in a worksheet, I have used an If statement in the format: =IF(I67=""",""",I67). This generally works well; however, I have discovered that if the input value for I67 is actually zero, there is no value displayed in the cell. I need the value to be displayed as a numerical zero so that it can be used in subsequent calculations.
I'm trying to find and replace all the quotation marks (basically just deleting them) on a worksheet through VBA. I've tried a number of things and am stumped. The code I'm using is:
Cells.Replace What:="", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, MatchCase:=False 'Replaces the quotes.
I have an excel program that reads a file and prints it to the work sheet, but I can't figure out why it puts quotation marks around the line of text. I would like to remove the quotation marks from column A and column D.
I'm using a query that dumps information into Excel. The query automatically creates a formula in each each cell. For instance if the first value in the query showed FUNSTUFF, after dumping it into Excel, the contents of the cell would show ="FUNSTUFF". I can just use a find and replace to get rid of the leading =", but sometimes the values of the cells are supposed to have a quotation mark, so using the same method to remove the trailing quote won't work. I need a way to search each cell, check if the last character in the string is a quote, and if it is, delete it.
I would like to query your knowledge database (too much VBA I guess ) as I have a predicament that I cannot seem to solve.
Here is the thing: I am trying to write a sub that would enable me to automatically put in place extensible name ranges (the Offset worksheet function).
The problem is that, despite everything seems to go well, the reference in the name box displays : ="DECALER($C$2;0;0;5-1;1)" (the string comes from a variable and Decaler is Offset in French). These quotation marks are the culprits for sure, as taken off the formula works beautifully.
I've tried everything I've found on the internet, that is to say: Replace(String, Chr$(34), "") so on and so forth, but these marks are not recognized a part of the string so they escape the replacement.
As a data download I got a block ** text with each item enclosed in "" "" and comma delimited. I converted to a table and copied the column I want to a 2003 excel file. How can I remove " " and treat column as simple numeric? I will then have to convert large application to 2007 as I am in that now.
HTML Code: =CONCATENATE("<img class=",""""&"alignleft size-medium"&""""," ","title=",""""&D6&""""," ","src=",""""& "http://www."&E6&"/images/"&C6&""""," ","alt=",""""&F6&""""," />")
The code looks good in the cell:
HTML Code: <img class="alignleft size-medium" title="Image title here" src= "http://www.mywebsite.com/images/image_name.jpg" alt="Image alt here" />
But when I copy/paste onto a txt file, its adding an extra (unnecessary) Quotation mark (see code below)
HTML Code: <img class=""alignleft size-medium"" title=""Image title here"" src= ""http://www.mywebsite.com/images/image_name.jpg"" alt=""Image alt here"" />
I am trying to find a formula that will count the number of unique entries there. I have tried the solutions posted on various websites to no avail (most recently:
I have some text I wish to add some content to the front and back of it. i.e. the text in the cell is "214.212.134.62" and I want to add "http://" to the front of it and ":9999" to the back to it, so it looks like "http://214.212.134.62:9999" in a different cell.
in a cell range a1:a5 I have the following data .5v .25s 1v .75s .5v. I want to add all numbers with v and s separately so that in cell a6 I can have totals of v i.e. 2v and in cell a7 1s
i have a problem adding cells every 5th cell for example i have
=SUMPRODUCT((C10:C67)*(MOD(ROW(C10:C67),5)=0))
this adds every 5th row in this range and it does it right as long as there is no text in the cells in between
it works fine when it looks like this
1 1 1 1 1 1 1
but it does not work when it looks like this
1 1 text 1 1 1
when this happens it appears as #VALUE, meaning an error but i don't understand why if i'm just telling it to look at every 5th row and those specific rows have no text in them
i have a spreadsheet with text in between the cells that need to be added so i need a formula that only adds up the cells with numbers on it, to be specific the numbers are either ones or zeroes.....
I am trying to do is add together numbers in the same cell though in different sheets. However some of the sheets will not have numbers in them and it comes up with an error value. How can I ignore this and still have a value be returned if there is no values entered in some cells?
see spreadsheet. columns a-f contain pupils details.g4-r23 contain marks for 12 questions. row 24 contains total marks for that question. questions are out of 2,3,4 and 5 marks. I would like to format the cells to reflect % for that question. At the moment I have to format column by column to do that. When I format the whole spreadsheet 0 and 1 show in red 2 and 3 in yellow and 4 and 5 in red. I want 2 when equalling 100% to show green not yellow.
I'm looking to easily drag the sum of certain cells in a different column BUT keeping a specific range, it's hard to explain so i'll show an example...
Is there any way I can do this by dragging down the cell formula from B1 and it remembering the range of 4, so I don't have to manually select each range...?
I'm trying to come up with a formula which will add the cells in a date range. This date range may be within the same month or span several months but will always be within the year.
On the results page, Cell A3 will be the Employee Number, Cell B3 will be the From Date, Cell C3 will be the To Date. I need to find a for cell D3, the sum. For example, if A3 had 123456, B3 had 1/2/09, C3 had 1/3/09, then D3 would need to have 17.48 (8.88+8.6)
The way I'm currently looking at is adding a row between C and D on the data table below which contains the row number, then doing a VLOOKUP and a few indexes to pull the data but I'm concerned that pulling data from 7 different tables (for different types of employee hours) for 250 employees would make this take forever to recalculate.
Note that the table below has 12 rows for the 12 months of the years and the columns go all the way to 31. It can be counted on that if a date doesn't exist (for example, 2/30/09, the value in the cell will be 0 which means we can use ranges through the end of the month if needed) ......
