I m use Excel 2003 to automate the following sequence of events that I currently do manually?
AutoFilter to filter the City in column B
AutoFilter to filter the Rotation in column X
AutoFilter to filter the Positional Status in column Y
Hide columns B:W
Use the computer mouse to select a range of that includes columns A, and X to AR (inclusive).
Copy 'n' paste this selected range to worksheet: Data to Text at cell A1
Insert a new column by selecting column A and right-clicking on the column and selecting Insert
Populating the new column A starting at cell A1 with number 1 and autofilling down to the last record (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc...)
Delete the folowing columns: C, D, E, G, J, L, M, N, P, Q R, S, T and V
Copy 'n' paste the all the remaining data to a new documnet in MS Word 2003
Select the entire table in MS Word
From the MS Word file menu - Select Table - Convert Table to Text
In the Convert to Table to Text pop-up window - select Other radio button and type in a forward-slash "/" in the input box adjacent to the radio button (without the quotes).......................................
I was gonna explain it but I couldn't make myself clear so I took a screenshot:
sequence.PNG
folder_type is what the user types, (for example, the letter "A"), and folder_code is a sequence that should auto-generate according to what was manually inserted in the folder_type field.
I want to do is sort in ascending sequence, a range defined as rTrainRow which is a row of text data. Each cell in the row can contain space, blank, one Alphabetic character or a special character such as $, %, (, +, etc.
I am trying to automate in VBA the process of importing of txt file to Excel range. The columns widths are not static. So I can't use recoded code of Text to Column wizard process as columns alignment arguments, (ie FieldInfo:= Array(Array(0, 1) would need to be changed daily. I have also tried to import the text in one column and then apply a code of TextToColumns to automatically split the text by multiple columns. But some of the text would be moved to the left under wrong column titles. I think this is because the text is not tab or comma delimited. It's just aligned using multiple spaces.
Is it possible to write a code to split the text by columns based on alignment of 2 first rows. For example, import rows 6 and 7 from the text in one column, then apply texttocolumn method like this:
I am trying to write a small macro involving Len and Left formulas. This will take input from two cells and and give the value on a third cell. I know how to do this on excel. This goes as follows:
Value on A5 = HB_AM_1 Value on B5 = 1
My formula to extract the specific text =LEFT(A5,LEN(A5)-LEN(B5)-1).
My result on D5= HB_AM
Here, my inputs are clearly defined and I can write this formula on cell D5 to get the result. I can copy this down to the end of my data and I can get my result.
My challenges: I need to do this for various reports where the data extends to various rows. I think looping will solve the problem, but not sure how to do it. The value on cell B5 will always show the last number at the cell A5 (1 in the eg above). So, if the number in A5 is 10, value in B5 will also be 10. This is already there in my data, so I do not worry about this part.
I found this question from 2004 but it has expired so I could not quote or reply to it. It can be found at Open file search and import text file This was the question:
I'm looking for some code that i can attach to a command bar which allows the user to browse and search for any text file on their C:Drive and then import it. I think i can work out the import using the data import wizard and macro recorder.
Sub DoIt() Application.Dialogs(xlDialogImportTextFile).Show End Sub
The original person said they can work out the import using the wizard, but my users are not tech savvy and therefore I was wondering if I could automate the text file showing up in the excel sheet ( named 'Import') after selecting the text file (instead of going to the wizard). I have attached a sample text file for an example (first row being a header)
I am new to VBA coding. My boss recently handing me a task where I have to take data which is stored in thousands of fwd files and import it into spread sheets. This can be read with notepad as plain text. This data has about 35 lines of heading info i need to skip. The data i need transfered is stored in columns and each data row is tagged at the beginning with the letter D and comment lines begin with the letter C. The heading info has no such tags.The data is space delimited. Further, some of the columns of data need to be omitted in the spreadsheet. Each data.fwd file gets its own spreadsheet meaning each time i import data i start with a fresh template.xls to import into. The format of the spreadsheet is the same as the format the data is presented in the text file with ten columns, except the text has twelve and two of them need to be omitted.
One more thing, I need to be able to push a button and query the file to import.
I thought I may of been able to get away with just using a simple macro which I could duplicate to copy all the cells in a column between 2 and 251 and
pasting them to another column on another sheet and it only referencing the available text within the first column, but it would appear to be referencing the
blank cells as well, which is creating errors for another function using this column.
So ideally I would like a macro to copy just the text data from a column within the range (F2:F251) on worksheet "Expansion". All the cells have formulas in them which create a unique text string from other cells on the same sheet.
Not all the cells within the column will be populated with text strings at the same time, but the rows of text will always start at "F2" and fill down without blank cells between the list of text strings.
The list of text strings will then be copied over to a different worksheet "AG-1" and pasted into column "A" starting at cell "A2".
This function is then repeated 14 more times for (G2:G251) through to (T2:T251) each pasted to different worksheets "AG-2" through to "AG-15" respectively, in column "A" starting at "A2".
The first column to be found in the process with a blank cell in the starting row of that column, would deem the process complete. Otherwise continue the
I'm trying to automate the process of exporting a range of cells to a text file. I think the Print# command will work because I don't want the quotes at the end of each line. Each range of cells will be a separate text file, and I want to save and name the file according to the column it's in. This bit of code from dominicb seems to be what I'm looking for, in principle.
AUTOMATE TRANSPOSE 2-13-14.xlsx In the attached file, I am looking to automate the transposing of the date and numbers under each bold number. Data is truck # in bold, the engine oil change date and mileage below. I copied the data from a pivot and need the date and mileage in columns, date on top with mileage below. I can do it with paste special one truck at a time, the big chunk of data is about 2000 rows deep and was hoping the transpose paste special could be automated, I've made a few attempts on how to do it but can't get it.
I have a spreadsheet that I need one thing automated on it (for now). It is a tracking sheet for our QA coordinators. What happens is they have a list of medical charts that are incomplete, when they mark the column complete with an "x" then the cell that contains and "x" under the Team Leaders name should disappear.
I have a code similar but I don't know who to use and array in the code.
This is what I used to change the date of a fields automatically (I recieved this from someone on line here)
I need to extract for each individual dive: Onset/start of dive (when the whale has completed its surface interval and begins its descent)
Rate of Descent (meters/second)
Onset/start of bottom phase (the whale has stopped descended and begins the "foraging" phase of the dive...not necessary the deepest point reached)
Number of lunges (you can see these if you plot the data. They are lunges at depth indicative of feeding behavior) End of bottom phase (begins to ascend) Rate of Ascent End of Dive (surface intervals begins) I've attached a brief sampling of the data in case you're curious.
Over the years I have identified these points through visual inspection of Excel charts. It's very easy, but extremely tedious and not at all efficient. I am interested in expediting this whole process and am more than willing to learn programming (i.e. visual basic or the like)...but only IF it is the best approach for this application. I have attached two dives worth of data, so we can see what the data looks like. Each data set can contain from 1 to 8 hours worth of data.
how to automate data from excel into word. This vba code takes every sheet from excel and puts it into a word document:

My problem is that it doesn't style the data into a table, is there any way to do this with the code I have posted? perhaps with a .Style code or something of that sort?
Find below the data sequence. 1st is the customer code, next are the date we have recd. the orders. In one excel command i want to find out the when was the order recd. date.

If I give code and order qty then the formula should go to the code row and find out if any order of that qty had come if yes then date has to be returned as a result.
I am trying to automate data import, instead of doing it manually all the time. I recorded a macro and now I am trying to edit it so that it can be used with any file.
I put together a little table for one of my LAN based facilities to track their Overtime Savings as compared to each of their individual units. It works great.
What I would like to do is to export the data on a weekly basis to Access. I set up an access table to recieve the data and I can get it all to work just fine except I want the users to just click on a menu item and have the export take place in the background.
I know how to create on the fly menus and get them to accecpt commands from Excel Macros so that is not an issue.
I know how to share data in Excel from Workbook to workbook, closed or open. I'm sure it can be done Excel to Access I just can not for the life of me find anything to jumpstart me in the right direction in either application's help files. Anybody out there linking their Excel data to Access?
I recorded a macro to open the Form on the Data Menu. Sample Worksheet Attached. After starting the macro recorder I selected the Food table cell (located to the right on the worksheet). Then went to the Menu bar.... Data Forms... and Clicked new.... followed by close and then stopped the macro Recorder. It produced the following code.... which reflects a code error when run.

I am using MS Excel 2007 and I am having to prepare a database that takes data from other sheets and places them on sheet one with a specific sequence. I'll explain, my data is in the following
form: Sheet2 A1 to A1617 (each a different value) Sheet3 A1 to A1617 (each a different value) Sheet4 A1 to A1617 (each a different value) .... .... .... .... ... ... Sheet13 A1 to A1617 (each a different value)
The result I require is so that on sheet 1 I have a database showing me this
Is there a way I could get this done automatically? I know the basics of Excel and this has been a dilemma lately. I have several databases to work in this fashion and I do believe that there must be a way to solve this in excel so that it fills automatically.
Excel spreadsheet, that contains several columns. Three of these columns contain text data that is selected by using a simple drop-down menu sourced from a list. If an attempt is made to enter text data not in the associated list an error message is displayed. Easy so far.
I need need to extend the text data validation across all three columns so that only specific combinations of the text in the three columns can be used which is reflected in a further list. These combinations will be counted elsewhere and so needed. Therefore, if i attempt to enter a combination of text columns that is not reflected in the list, this too will present an error message stating 'combination not valid', or words to this effect.

I have the office 2007 Suite.I have a small business, where i sell online mostly. I'm creating a simple spreadsheet using Excel 2007, a workbook that has simple financial statements.
I'm creating a list of customers along with what they order, what they paid, how they paid, (paypal, cheque) etc, The first column is the invoice number, and each is unique to each customer. I add as i get orders. so my list of invoices has the following fields as column headers
Quote:
Invoice Number Customer Name, Paid by Paypal, Paid by Cheque, Amount, Cusotmer email, Customer address, There are more and i won't list them all. Now each time i send an order, i have to fill in the excel worksheet. I then create the invoice separately in Word 2007 which i print to send to the customer with the order in the mail. The third step is sending an email to the customer upon despatch, using Outlook 2007.
I don't want to use accounting software as that is too complicated for my simple little business. What i do want to do however is combine all three tasks instead of having to open different programs and copying and pasting between them. I'd like to be able to add the data to Excel either using a form (ideally) or direct, then i'd like to be able to click on the "customer email" field to send a confirmation email to the customer, and also to be able to have an automated invoice, either in excel or Word, which draws the information automatically for each invoice, so that i only have to print it.
At the moment i'm doing all 3 tasks separately, when i know they can be automated.
1. I have about 20 columns of data for each invoice, ideally i'd like to be able to enter them from a form as it gets cumbersome going through them all in Excel. The form could be either in Word or Excel, which would be easier?
2. Using the invoice number as the unique field, how can i create an invoice that would draw out the required fields from the Excel data automatically, just by clicking a button? I dont' mind using either Excel or Word, whichever is easier, and i do have Access too, but i don't know if i should use that, or not. I don't need to draw any other data. I only want to print invoices and send confirmation emails.
3. After printing the invoice and posting the order to the customer i sent them an email confirming. Again i have to manually enter or copy and paste data in the email, which i know could be automated, if i create a template, and have some fields that are automaitcally populated using the fields in the date already entered.
These fields ususally include the total paid, currency paid, address, name and how many ordered. All of this could be automated, but i'm not sure how to do it.
The codes in E column are what is entered in a worksheet range (user cannot see the list). Needed is to show both the two-character code in column E and the text definitions in column F in the dropdown. As data validation now works, users only see the two-character code and are not remembering what the code stands for - they need to see the definition.
Is there a way to show both the two-character code from column E along with the text in column F? When user selects, only the code would be entered in the target cell. (Is data validation the correct technique?)
I have set this problem up in closely located cells to construct the issue. In reality, the validation list is well off-screen from where the user is actually inserting the codes and there are many more codes/definitions.
I am in need of VBA code so that I can fill out an input form generated by someone elses macro input box. (I am the user, not the one developing the input box).
I am working to streamline a whole cluster of macros and this input box is currently my bottleneck. When the input box pops up, instead of me manually typing, I want to autofill the space with "104" and then click 'ok' uisng VBA.
I can not modify the actual VBA that created the input box (ie make 104 the default) because other users need the box to be blank.
find out how a developer would change the original vba code, not how a user can interact with an input box by using vba.
I have in column " A" 500 rows with numbers in random sequences each sequence has random number of rows , each sequence is seperated with a blank cell (the result of a formula) some sequences have zerrows included. I need to find the lowest number in each sequence and put that number in column
" B" I also need to find the highest number and put that number in column " C"
I would like to create a column with letters from alphabet in a sequence. If I write A and in cell below I put B then highlight the two cells and drag down I get a repetition of A and B. How do I get the following alphabet letters ie. C,D, E etc.?
