Aligning Pasted-in Data To Match Blank Rows
Nov 10, 2011
I have a set of 50 or so large worksheets that need updating each month. My problem is the figures I need to update these sheets with are formatted differently (different alignment of blank rows) to the destination.
I'll try to illustrate, this is the sheet I need to add data to on a monthly basis... (you'll need to imagine the numbers in column form as I'm no HTML expert)
May June July
23 34 45
65 34 45
34 23 23
[Code] .......
The blank rows need to remain uniform. When I need to paste in August's data the blank rows in the raw data extract are aligned differently and it's a laborious job deleting and inserting cells to get them to align (the sheet has hundreds of rows).
I'm capable enough of recording a macro to replicate the delting/inserting of cells BUT of the 50 or so sheets I need to update there's no uniformity of where the blank rows occur. To further exacerbate, there's no uniformity over where the blank rows occur in the data that needs to be pasted in, either. The blank rows already in the worksheets HAVE to remain and can't be deleted or altered.

I have a data set with raw data from an online survey with >2000 rows of data, with each row varying in width from 2 columns to 4 columns wide of data, located in columns A through D. Each row has the value 2 in it as well as some additional values on either the right or left side (the location of the value 2 varies -- so it's not always in the same column). Picture attached of some example data for clarification:
Picture 1.png
I want to figure out if there is a function that can align all of the 2's in the same column -- let's say Column C -- while maintaining the same data that was to the right or left of the 2 (up to two values on either side) before all of the 2's were aligned in the same column.
I could certainly manually align the central column by copying and pasting repeatedly, but that would take an incredibly long time -- and I am sure that there is a better way to do this. I can use a VLOOKUP function to align all of the 2's in a column as well as everything to the right, but I have tried using the INDEX and MATCH functions to do a VLOOKUP to the left, but this doesn't seem to be working because the source column (where the number 2 is) varies by row, so it doesn't match in the same way that a VLOOKUP function does.

I have what I believe to be a simple problem, but for the life of me, i can't seem to figure it out.
I have a list companies in column A that have a corresponding revenue number in column B.
In column C, I have ANOTHER list of companies and their corresponding revenue number in column D.

I copy and paste large amounts of data using macros. Excel leaves some kind of trace, placeholder or something in the cells that are blank on the original sheet. So all my math calculations are messed up on the destination sheet.
Using GoTo special blanks does not work to select these cells in mass. I know how to loop through all the cells one at a time and check to see if they are "" or have a length of zero and clear them, but these methods take forever.

i have put a small extract from list of 50000 values. I have Figures which are pasted as values on top and on A column but they do not agree unless i F2+enter on each figure on Column A that would mean 50000+ enteries.. i have tried copying column A and row 1 and pasting it as value but still no change. Row 1 header figures are typed manually.

How to align two columns that sometimes have rows that are unequal in number. The data is sourced from a web page that has a table layout and the table lays out the one to many values this way in the table. My data looks like this:
Table ...Term
t1 ..... term1
t2 ......term2
..........term2.a
..........term2.b
..........term2.c
t3 ......term3
..........term3.b
The editor removes leading spaces. In the column Table there are only three rows but in column Term there are multiple rows per single row from column Table. So one row t2 for column Table has three rows in column Term. Are these cells merged and can I in a mcro detect if the cells are merged? How is the addressing of the merged cells in a VBA macro?

I run reports from Accounting systems that reflect different periods. Of course each period ends up having more or less accounts. See the attached file. This is just one little sample of big massive reports. I need to line up accounts across each Quarter. so that i can calculate differences between each quarter.
In the past few times, I have done this manually. There has got to be a way to do this quicker. I have tried Pivot table. but pivot table didn't help either (unless i was not doing it right).

How do I sort out columns aligning them to match data in another column?
Column B is 200 rows long all with data such as FLEZ054246. Columns C is 100 rows long but it will match some from B. I need to align C,D,E with B as long as C & B match. The rows that don't match can be left open for C, D, E.
EX.
Column B Column C Column D Column E
FLEZ054246..........TXEZ061244.........WCG................TX
TXEZ061411.........TXEZ059129..........DOUGLAS...........FL[code].....

aligning some data. Cupno has more entries than seqno and there are duplicate entries. I cannot think of a way to get seqno+results to align with cups. If it's possible to delete rows the don't have a corresponding seqno thats ok too. I've attached the example workbook. Sheet1 is the data and Sheet2 contains what ideally the results should look like

Column A contains the date, every day since 1/2/07 to present
Column B contains a value for that date
Column D has dates within the range in Column A but at odd days (e.g. 4/2/07, 10/2/07)
Column E has data which corresponds to the date in Column D.
Can anyone advise of a formula which can allow me to put the data in Column E in line with the dates on column A rather than the dates in column D?
I want to have in Column C values from Column E that match with the dates in Column A, so for example next to 1/2/07 the cell would be empty but next to 4/2/07 in column A would be the value corresponding with that date in columns D & E.

I work on graphics which show financial data. The base is day data together with calculated added values the graphic worked and showed good pictures.
But now I encountered a problem with the graph - related to not listed days, points are "generated" which do not be in line with the rest of the data !?

I don't know VBA so hopefully there's a way of doing this with a basic Excel function.

macro that will parse data that has been pasted in to Excel from a text document. Once the macro is executed the pasted data will be sent to a separate spreadsheet and parsed horizontally with the data residing in is respective cell.
Here is an example of my data from text:
FIRST: Frank
MIDDLE: N.
LAST: Stien
ADDRESS: APT14
STREET: Halloween
ZIP CODE: 123456
CITY: Scaryville
STATE: Scary Ya
COUNTRY: Transilvania
COMMENT: N/A
Here is an example of my desired results:
A2:Frank, B2:N, C2:Stien, D2:APT14, E2:Halloween, F2:123456, G2:Scaryville, H2:ScaryYa, I2: Transilvania, J2:N/A
The data is always pasted in A2 on the first sheet, and varies somewhat in length but the format is always the same.

I am starting a data sheet that I will be pasting from the internet into my data sheet daily, the problem I have is that the content data is pasting with blank rows between data and also there is one piece of data that is situated on the row below which i need moving to the end of the main data row, the idea is to have single data rows with no blank rows.
I have attached an example sheet showing the layout it repeats with only the amount of data that changes.
I have colored the data as follows:
Grey= Blank Rows
Yellow= Data Move to end of main row
Green= Unwanted Data

I have a worksheet that you can enter in
Forename, Surname, Area, D.O.B
This has a macro assigned that copies the data and pastes it into another worksheet at the next available row.
Now this works fine, but I want to be able to identify if the data already exists in the other worksheet then prevent it from being pasted and give an error message that the person already exists in the database.
Is this possible?

Whenever I copy and paste dates from the internet I can't get Excel to recognize the info as dates, thus making it impossible to sort by date. It doesn't matter which site I use, I have the problem with all of them.

Using any of the links above, how I can paste those dates and get Excel to sort the date?

I have a thoroughly outdated system to keep a log of call centre stats. In order to facilitate a marginally easier workflow, I have rearranged a few things so that a user simply has to copy and paste data from reports into the worksheet.
The worksheet is set up with all the number formats like time and percentage which are extremely important in totaling and averaging hours and availabilities, however the pasted data doesn't match the destination format and it therefore affects the total.
I have tried many different special pasting options to no avail.
The only way i seem to be able to do it is to go into each line and retype my percentages (as 100 becomes 10000% ) and click the tick next to the formula bar so 00:00:16 is calculated as a quantity of time instead of text. With 30 people and 15 stats each day that exercise becomes a little bit tedious and counterproductive.

I have a powerpoint presentation which has a bunch of Excel charts embedded as Microsoft Office Graphic Objects, but I don't have access to the source data (plus the links are broken).
how to get the underlying data. I vaguely recall once doing this with some vba that I had found somewhere the net, but I don't have the code anymore.
I have some code that works within Excel however:
Code:
Sub GetChartValues()
' this macro will recover the data from a disconnected Microsoft Graphic Object (such as we used to paste
' into PowerPoint). You will need to insert a Worksheet entitled "ChartData" to store the values.

Below is code I have attempted. I am learning VBA and have gathered this code from the internet and this forum. I have data that is in columns B to E and from row 7 down. I want this VBA code to run when data is copied/pasted in these cells. Where the last values stop will vary so I just want to be sure this code is executed after all the data is pasted in these cells. The data will be pasted at one time. When the user removes the data from these cells, I do not want the code to run.

The macro firstly formats the data that is pasted into it from an access database, then it does some calculations to determine when 10 working days from a specific date is, and when 20 working days from the date is (these go in new columns at the end of the data). The macro will also add new columns which say "Not resolved" if there is no date in the Resolution column, "Yes" in the "10 working days met?" column if the condition is met and the same for 20 workings days in a different column. As the colouring etc takes a long time I really wanted to add as conditional formatting to the macro!
how to attach a spreadsheet here then I can show you what the outcome we want is. A point to note is that there is not a set number of rows each time we do this, and I don't just want 1 cell to be coloured - I want to specify which cells in the row are coloured depending on the results in another cell on that row.
