Assign Unique Number To A String
Jun 4, 2008
I'm currrently using column I and col J
in col I are all the units of measurement: KG, PKT, BAG
in ColJ is the formula to return:
KG as 9999999
PKT as 8888888
BAg as 7777777
if(i2=kg, 999999999,"false!")
i was thinking of using if....but triple if formulas would be long isn't it?
PART2 of this would be using:
=IF((SUMPRODUCT(--(db!$A$2:$A$36000=$B$1),--(db!$F$2:$F$36000=C$5),--(db!$G$2:$G$36000=C$6),--(db!$E$2:$E$36000=$A7),--(db!$D$2:$D$36000=$B7),db!$I$2:$I$36000))=9999999,"KG","Invalid")
to check 5 values and if it is 999999999 it'll return KG
8888888 PKT
7777777 BAg

So I have this list (I made it a little bit shorter).
So what you see is two different tasks (01 and 02) and three different conditions (A, B and C). In column B you see the result I would like to have. '/Searchtask_01.html' in A1 belongs to conditions A, because it is in session A. However, '/Searchtask_01.html' in A10 belongs to conditions B, because it is in session B.
How to get the results in B with a formula?

I'm trying to think of a way to do this. I need a unique ID number per company, so I would want it to look something like this:
0001: Apple
0001: Apple
0002: Google
0003: Sony
0003: Sony
0003: Sony
0003: Sony
0004: Ford
0004: Ford
0004: Ford
.....and on and on for about 400+ rows. I think I know how to state the condition. IF B15 =/= B14 then....assign unique ID, else A15 = A14....or something to that effect.

I know it is possible in Access auto assign a unique ID (primary key?) to each record in a table. I am creating records in a table using Excel and Visual Basic to write to a ".mdb" file without using Access. Is there a way to auto assign a unique ID within the coding?
The reason I ask this is if I had two users writing to the ".mdb" file at the same time, I don't want them to end up with the same ID's for two differend records.
Sub UploadRecord()
Dim DBName, DBLocation, FilePath As String
Dim DBConnection As ADODB.Connection
Dim DBRecordSet As ADODB.Recordset
Dim XLRow As Long, XLColumn As Long
Dim DataRange As Long
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Worksheets("Find Record").Range("A2").Value = Worksheets("Index").Range("H3").Value
Worksheets("Find Record").Range("B2").Value = Worksheets("Index").Range("I3").Value
Worksheets("Find Record").Range("C2").Value = Worksheets("Index").Range("J3").Value
Worksheets("Find Record").Range("D2").Value = Worksheets("Index").Range("K3").Value
Worksheets("Find Record").Range("E2").Value = Worksheets("Index").Range("L3").Value
Worksheets("Find Record").Range("F2").Value = Worksheets("Index").Range("M3").Value
Worksheets("Find Record").Range("G2").Value = Worksheets("Index").Range("N3").Value
Worksheets("Find Record").Activate.........................

What am I missing here. The following code fragment
strTestString = In_Wrksht.Range("A" & i)
strNameString = Trim(Mid(strTestString, 6))
Debug.Print strTestString & " uuu"
Debug.Print strNameString & " eee"
In_Wrksht.Range("B" & i) = strNameString & " XXX"
Debug.Print Trim(In_Wrksht.Range("B" & i)) & "ggg"
returns these results:
7/ 31 FIDELITY SHORT TERM BOND uuu
FIDELITY SHORT TERM BOND eee
ggg.
strNameString is not being assigned to B&i. Why Not?

Here's my situation.
I will post a rudimentary example:
Account Name/Column A
Truman school, San Diego
Truman school, San Diego
Truman school, San francisco
Truman school, Atlanta
Truman school, Atlanta
In column B, I would like it to assign a unique numeric id based on the TEXT only.
So Truman school, San Diego gets a string of numbers: 1234
Truman school, san fran: 1235
Truman school, Atlanta: 1236
My spreadsheet is about 6,000 records with a great deal of the above situation going on. So school names are identical with different locations assigned. I am trying to import to a database and don't want a lot of duplicate records. That's why I'm trying to assign a numeric value.

I am creating a rollup file from hundreds of excel files each has the same structure
Each file will have a dozens to hundreds of names and some files will share entries i.e Juan Alvarez might be in 10 different files
I need to create a unique numerical identifier starting at 0 for everyone based off there unique email address for each individual in the rollup file
So Juan Alvarez would need to be given the same numerical ID every time he showed up in the rollup
[Code] .....
Rollup. After filtering on "Name".

I have a VBA program which is running very slowly on one of my computers, but none of the others.
Here's a piece of code which illustrates the problem, which is that assigning a null string to a cell is very slow.
Option Explicit
Public Sub test()
Dim objSh As Worksheet
Dim I As Integer
Set objSh = Worksheets("Sheet1")
MsgBox "test1"
For I = 1 To 1000
objSh.Cells(1, 1) = ""
Next
MsgBox "test2"
For I = 1 To 1000
objSh.Cells(1, 1) = " "
Next
MsgBox "done"
End Sub
If I change this to assign a space instead it is very fast (about 1,000 times faster).
This slow machine is not normally slow; an ACER Aspire 9410Z with 2GB RAM, running Vista Ultimate.
Other machines run this code OK on a mix of Windows XP, 2000 and Vista Business. with Excel 2003, 2000 and 2007.
Ultimate seems to be the only unique factor of the machine where it runs slowly.

How to create a spreadsheet with what I think will be a very simple formula?
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 1 or less days, put a 1 in cell C2.
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 7 or less days but more than 1, put a 2 in cell C2.
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 30 or less days but more than 7, put a 3 in cell C2.
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 90 or less days but more than 30, put a 4 in cell C2.
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 91 days or more, put a 5 in cell C2.
OR
Another, maybe simpler, way of saying it is:
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 1 or less days, put a 1 in cell C2.
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 2-7 days, put a 2 in cell C2.
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 8-30 days, put a 3 in cell C2.
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 31-90 days, put a 4 in cell C2.
If date in B2 - date in A2 is 91 days or more, put a 5 in cell C2.

I am doing a Regular Expression search on a string variable assigned to the HTML content of a Wikipedia search. However I am currently manually going to Wikipedia, searching for the term, saving the html page, opening the saved page with Notepad and then copying the content into a cell.
Can the above process be automated with VBA, how to assign the html content of a Wikipedia search to a string variable.

I currently have a spreadsheet which I use to do an audit of the office stationery supplies.
There 3 columns at the focus of this question:
F - Number of items in stock
H - Stock re-ordering level
I - Order Required
I currently have an IF statement to tell me if I need to re-order any stock, by comparing the Number of items in stock against Stock Re-ordering level.
The statement is =IF(H1>=F1, "Yes","No")
This works fine under most circumstances. However, in some of the H cells, I have the text "Special" which indicates that the stock will only need re-ordering on a special occasion.
Any value I enter in F will cause the I to say "Yes".
Is there any way to make the word "Special" equivalent to 0, so I says "No"?

Wondering if it is possible to generate a random 4 digit number based off an alphanumeric string?
Example;
Cell A1 has 123XVF1234
Cell A2 has 321AFW4321
In B1 I would like to have a 4-6 digit number that is generated based on the alphanumeric data in Cell A1 (and so on down the list). If that is possible, I would also need to be able to convert back the 4-6 digit number back to its original alphanumeric value
Example;
If B1 returns 643562 it would need to be able to be converted back to 123XVF1234

In sheet1 I have a simple database consisting of 5 columns of data
Column A : Name ie James Jones
Column B : payroll number ie 123456
Column C : shift times ie 1245-2124
Column D : job title ie floor
Column E : comments ie A/L or 0600-1500
what I would like is some code that will go down Column E and if a 'time string' ie 1300-2130 is found then copy this string and paste into corresponding value in column C. If a text string is found ie A/L or Sick or anything like this then ignore and move onto next cell, loop this until all cells in column E have been checked.

We have started a new venture from 5th April & I need to create a template for a year and assign week no against the dates. The week1 will start from 5th April & week 52 will end on 31st March.
Also there will be a summary of the Week No(Starting Date & End Date) against each week at the top of the template. I could put the formula for the summary part but I am unable to figure out how to assign week no against the dates as given below. It is very difficult to assign the week no manually for the whole year & also it is vulnerable to error. a formula across B7:B23 which can deliver the desired result?

I need to count the number of times a value appears in a row and assign a number that tells which occurence of the text it is.
For example
Name Address
Jim 123 Smith Street
Jane 123 Smith Street
Bob 543 Apple Street
Mary 543 Apple Street
I would like a way to insert a column that puts a 1 next to Jim and a 2 next to Jane, a 1 next to Bob and a 2 next to Mary and so on.
Ultimately, I want to sort the list and delete all the twos, thus deleting the duplicate address entry.

I have found ways to count cells but what I am trying to do is in column F I have a list of meeting topics, and sometimes these repeat in a year. in my drop down menu I have all of them listed however my supervisor wants me to add a count after the meeting number in the 1_1X format where x is the number of times a topic has been used.
The output will be added to my macro here
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim y As String
Dim z As String
Dim b as Integer
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(Target, Range("MEETINGNUMBER")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

I have figured out how to assign a letter grade to a number, but am having trouble assigning it the other way, a number to a letter grade. For instance: If a student gets an A, I want the column next to it to indicate that the A represents a 4; a B represents a 3; a C represents a 2; D a 1; and F a 0. This will allow an easy grade point average calculation.
A 4 History
C 2 Math
A 4 English
B 3 Physical Ed
D 1 Science
GPA 2.80

I have a long list of items. I would like to assign the same number to each of the replicates. I've been trying to expand on this: = COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1). which increments the number for each replicate, but don't seem to be getting anywhere. The attached file might make it clearer what I'm after.

Userform2 is popped up from another userform3.
How can I have userform 3 when clicked fill in a textbox on userform2 and then finally assign it to cell F3 on my worksheet.
VB:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()End Sub
So I need commandbutton2 (which needs to retain a value of 1` when clicked ) on Userform3 to assign the value of 1 to TextBox44 (Which is using control Source F3 so the value here ends up in F3
VB:
Private Sub TextBox44_Change()
If TextBox44 > 5 Then
MsgBox "Your entry must be part between 1 and 5", vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If

Excel 2003: I need code that, when an "x" is entered in a cell in the "Activity" worksheet to assign a temporary unit #, it will look for the next available Temporary Unit # in the "Assign" worksheet. Then mark that unit # as "assigned" (by placing an "X" in the column next to it) and copy it to a cell in the "Activity" sheet.
I will be doing the same thing with assigning different types of PO numbers. I figure if I have the code for the Unit #, I can use the same logic for the other assignments, with some modifications, of course.
I've attached a sample workbook.
If I am not considering the most effective way to accomplish what I am trying to do here, I have no ego at all about someone suggesting a better solution.
