I write a daily status report that adds my daily comment to a cell with previous text in it. I then paste it in three other cells. This process is slow and tedious since the text in the cell is now becoming extremely long due to organizational and managerial restraints of the existing format. I use cut and paste and manual enter, a alt + enter, to space new comment. I would like to be able to enter the text in a cell and have it update the comment cell with the text in it and to update the text box. I have reviewed the forum and have yet to find the answer and use of how else to pose the questions.
if there is a workaround to this issue. I have this code that transfers data to a textbox but it stops after hitting the character limit. Does anyone know how to extend this limit ?
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean) Cancel = True With Me.Shapes("textbox1").TextFrame.Characters .Text = .Text & Target.Value End With End Sub
I am looking for a macro to convert a 6 digital serial number into an 8 digit serial number by adding "00" to the front. ie. The cell may say 123456, but I need to change it to display 00123456.
I have a filename written in cell A1- eg dog.jpg - and I want to insert a set character string just before the .jpg part. ie so it becomes dog_test.jpg in B1. How would you guys do it? I've been thinking of really long-winded methods that'd use several cells, but I reckon there might be a cleverer way!
I've got a sheet in which I want a drop down box, to ADD the value* to a cell, not overwriting its current value!
*The name of the selected option in the drop down box, the names are located in Map3!A1-n, I set the drop down box to display the related number in a cell next to it.
The cell would contain some text, and by selecting something in the drop down box, it would add the name of that option to the already existing value in the cell.
So if at first the cell's value is
Hi! I 'm Mark,
and you select the following option from the dropdown box
I 'm from Holland!
the cell would end with the value
Hi! I 'm Mark, I'm from Holland!
This would probably work with a macro, already made a start with it but I couldn't get it to ADD the value instead of overwriting it.
I have data that covers multiple rows that I need to merge into one row.
Header:| InvoiceNumber | Type | Name Row1: | 1000 | Payor | Doe, John Row2: | 1000 | Payor | Smith, Mary Row3:| 1000 | Payee| Jones, Henry Row4:| 1000 | Payee | Jones, Bob
I need to get those four example rows down to one row such as:
Header | InvoiceNumber | Payor | Payee Row1: | 1000 | Doe, John & Smith, Mary | Jones, Henry & Jones, Bob
The number of payor/payee can vary between 1 and several. I need some way to loop through and keep appending the names in one cell separated by a "&". And then deleting all the duplicate rows (based on InvoiceNumber).
I am having problems adding data to exisiting text in each row of column E. The following macro is replacing the current text in each row with "V-1954". I need it to add "V-1954" to the begining of the text in each row of column E not over write it.
Range("D2").Select Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Value) 'Fill in Column E ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = "V-1954" 'Move down one cell ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select Loop
I would like to append data from Columns A-F to a text file. The key thing is that the data needs to be tab separated just as it would be if I simply highlighted it and copied it and the pasted it into the text file.
I have a simple code that should insert the text at the beginning of the text file (the text file already has some text in it). When i use the following code, it just appends the line to the end of the text. I need it to append it to the start of the text file.
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim file As String lastrow = Range("D65536").End(xlUp).Row - 4 file = "C:Users11126923Desktop est.txt" Open file For Append As #1 f = "hi test3" Print #1, f Close End Sub
I want to open multiple .csv files from a single directory and append them to one workbook. The following code partly works, but appends only the first line from each file.
Sub GetFiles() Dim w As Worksheet, fn As String, k As Long Application. ScreenUpdating = False Set w = ActiveSheet k = Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Row If Not IsEmpty(Cells(k, 1)) Then k = k + 1 fn = Dir("*.csv") While fn <> "" Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=fn, Origin:=xlWindows, StartRow:=1, _ DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, _ Tab:=False, Semicolon:=False, Comma:=True, Space:=False, Other:=False Rows(1).Copy w.Rows(k) k = k + 1 ActiveWorkbook.Close False fn = Dir Wend Application.CutCopyMode = False End Sub
I need help looking at text in a cell that has [] around it such as [big red trucks] and copy that text to the end of the cell and replace the "space' between the words and add '+' signs so the result looks like [big red trucks] [big+red+trucks].
example:
This is what the cell looks like before
[big red trucks] cost 5000 in store
This is what the cell needs to look like after
[big red trucks] cost 5000 in store[big+reg+trucks]
there may be additional text after the ']', I need the phrase with the + signs copied to the end of the cell
I want to copy a bunch of data from a text file and paste in into an excel worksheet I have open. I want to paste it at the end but I don't know how large the data range will be each time so I can't select that size range. I have this code so far:
FileToOpen = Application. GetOpenFilename("Text Files (*.txt), *.txt") If FileToOpen <> False Then Workbooks.Open FileToOpen Else Exit Sub End If
Cells.Select Selection.Cut
Windows("myfile.xls").Activate
Range("A1").Select 'THIS IS THE OLD CODE FOR THE FIRST IMPORT ActiveSheet.Paste 'I NEED TO REPLACE THIS WITH THE CODE FOR APPENDING 'OR PASTING AT THE END OF MY RANGE
I have text in one cell and I need a text box to show the text from that cell.
For example, if I have text in B2, on a text box I put the forumla =B2. The issue I'm experiencing is that the text box cuts off the text. There's no logic to why it cuts off the text, it's not limited to number of characters and I've played about with the margins and wrap texting, etc, all to no avail.
I've attached a photo of the worksheet to show what I'm experiencing. [URL] ..........
I receive 24,000 text files once a month that need to be combined into one csv/txt file and/or spreadsheet(tab).
About a year ago I posted a thread on the same topic which received a fantastic response from jindon that worked great
Unfortunately, the format in which the text files are ouput has changed, as has the filename layout. The files are now output with filenames such as:
(lic#, company name, displaying # records found, date, type.txt)
40298827_Windham Professionals Inc _Displaying records 1 through 10 of 100_041813_AGENTS.txt 40298827_Windham Professionals Inc _Displaying records 11 through 20 of 100_041813_AGENTS.txt 40303726_HEARTLAND CREDIT RESTORATION INC _EANF_041913_AGENTS.txt
(files with EANF in the filename have no records inside them and can be skipped)
While the contents of each file look like this: (see attached text file reference)
I would like to combine the contents of the text files while appending the lic#, company name and date from the filenames to each record so the resulting file looks like this:
Is there a formula that will add a number, in sequence, to the end of a text string to avoid duplicates?
I need to generate an ID number for transactions. This ID number is the Account Code-Last Two #s of the Year-Unique 3-Digit Number. So for instance, 5022-14-001 means it is the first transaction from account 5022 in the year 2014.
Column A has the Account Codes. Column B has the date of the transaction in MM/DD/YYYY format. So far the formula I have is:
With ???? being some function or set of nesting functions I need to create the sequential number. It needs to be able to say "Okay, this is the third instance of there being a 5022-14, so we need to stick -003 at the end of this."
Additionally, this "003" needs to be frozen, so if we change how the sheet is sorted and the line item moves around, it will still always be "003".
In Excel VBA Userform, how to copy the text from textbox automatically when the cursor is being moved from the textbox. And when i put CTRL+V then the copyed text has to be pasted.
I have a very long spreadsheet with about 3000 rows. lets say for simplicity that column A contains a list of product ID numbers. I am looking for some macro code where I can just type in the product ID into a textbox, then hit enter (or a 'go' button) and then the cursor will move to the cell containing the part number.
I know Ctrl+F will do the job for me, but because of the frequency that I do these searches, a text input box would be easier still.
The nearest solution I could find was the one here Find text but its a bit 'overkill' for my needs.
I am trying to get a particular cell to have normal dimensions when not within that cell, but once opened, contains a default text preferably within a text box format/size.
I wish for a text box (drawn Text Box, from the "Shapes" tab) to conditionally change its background color based on whether a cell in a different sheet says "Online" - in which case it should be green, or "Offline" - in which case it should be red. So far, the code that I have that doesnt work at all, which I'm not even sure where to place (I tried in the Workbook - Open?), is the following:
[Code] .....
I also need to do this for a total of 9 Text Boxes, if that changes anything.
In a userform i have created an textbox. The user types some text in it and after clicking an OK-Button this text must be copied to a cell To allow multiple lines (enter = new line in textbox) i have changed the textbox property EnterKeyBehavior to True. The problem is that after copying this textbox1.text to a cell in see square blocks in the cell.
line1[] line2
instead of line1 line2
I use the following code to copy the text into a cell:
Private Sub CommandButtonOK_Click() Dim TextboxText As String TextboxText = TextBox1.Text ActiveCell.Value = TextboxText Unload Me End Sub
how to avoid this [] (should be like alt-enter in a cell)
Code: Private Sub cmdSearchButton_Click() Dim txtbox As String 'stores lookup value Dim x As Variant 'value for wwid txt box Dim ForeName As String Dim SurName As String Dim wwid As Variant Dim iPosition As Integer
[Code] .......
Here is my code, it does a vlookup and if the persons name is not found it will split the text entered into forename and surname but when i try and add
It actually displays &ForeName & in the text box of the next from rather than what ForeName is..
eg. John Smith -> search button -> user not found msg -> user wants to add user -> string is split into forename and surname -> forename = John , surname = Smith -> display this in the second form.
What code should i be using to do this, i thought that &ForeName & would work.
