Automatically Extracting Information From A Cell In Different Spreadsheet
Aug 10, 2012
I use a spreadsheet (FY-2012) to track approx 700 work requests. I enter the work request number (name of the spreadsheet) in column A, which is hyperlinked to the actual work request spreadsheet. I would like to automatically fill in this cell with the information entered in cell J42 of the work request entered in column A. Cell A5 of the tracker "FY-2012" indicates Work Request "BB-12003". Cell D5 of the tracker "FY-2012" indicates the completion date. I would like to extract the completion date entered in cell "J42" of Work Request "BB-12003" and have it automatically fill in Cell D5 of the tracker "FY-2012".

I receive a workbook on a monthly basis and it arrives in csv format. I need to format it and split it into several pages prior to sending to managers. I'm comfortable with the vba for formatting and splitting it into several pages but I have a problem with some cells that always have data in them in the same (incorrect) fashion.
how to go about fixing these cells and then I can get on with writing that into the macro.
Currently looks like:
A || B || C
No requested || No Supplied || Percentage
4 || 4100%
12 || 875%
6 || 350%
Should look like:
A || B || C
No requested || No Supplied || Percentage
4 || 4 || 100%
12 || 8 || 75%
6 || 3 || 50%
I was thinking of some kind of Left() formula to extract the leftmost character and place it into it's new cell BUT realise that sometimes I might need to extract 2 (or perhaps even more) characters.

I'm trying to extract information from one specific cell, and place it into another. This other thread kind of does what I'm looking for. I wish to extract from the following; "20/04/2009 5:42:51 AM". Placing the date in one cell, and the time in another. All spacing within the quotation marks is respective of the cell. Obviously dates and times would vary.

I am doing an export of info from one system and running an excel spreadsheet to manipulate the data. The problem is..That the exported data sometimes will export info into combined cells. Look at attachment
This is what I need...
I need the ability to search all the info on the POC tab and pull it into the info tab, by searching on a system and returning the POC info..
I have tried the vslookup formula and it will return the first row not the second row which is where the info is that I need (shown Highlighted)
=VLOOKUP(A4,POC!A2:b50,2,FALSE)

I'm trying to extract information from a cell that I cut and paste from another source:
09/02/2014-12/11/2014 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 08:00AM - 09:15AM, Nichols Engineering Hall, Room 441
Each cell is different in that it may be a different day or time:
09/02/2014-12/11/2014 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 08:00AM - 09:15AM, Nichols Engineering Hall, Room 434
I want to make a formula that will extract the pertinent information (day of the week and time), and store it to another 2 cells, making a list as it "extracts":
Day
Time
Tuesday
8:00 - 9:15
Thursday
8:00 - 9:15

I'm looking to find a way to extract an email address an a reference number from an email receipt that i have extracted to excel. The problem is when I paste the information its pastes onto multiple rows and not a single row.
I'm using this formula to extract the email address and can do something else to get the ref number out however the results are on multiple lines which is not good to me.
[Code] ......
I have attached a document to show you how the data extractS on (EXAMPLE TAB) The information I want to extract is the stuff in Red. I then want the results to look like the Results Tab in the example.

I have some data that I have created a report from. However it doesn't show a "true" picture for the stat we want. I have a pivot table set up with data showing the hours worked for an individual. What I am wanting to do would be to cross reference the data but not sure how to compare data. I have provided some make shift data to see if it is even feasible. The end goal is to get a true picture of P.P.H The data we are able to get is in a horrible format. I would eventually like to automate this in VBA but will work on the later. I thought about doing a vlookup but the is no real matching data for all employees. Some of the names are wrong in one system and there is no matching emp ID.

I am not sure if this is possible but I am trying to extract information from a spreadsheet, the problem is that i need only the postcode but this is in a line with the rest of the address as follows:
123 street, town, AB1 2CD
Is this possible as i need to do this for 1000's so doing it individually will take forever!

I am trying to write a formula which will extract information from a given set of cells. The information format is
XXXX-YYYYY-ZZZZ
What I need to do is pull out the information which precedes the second. so in the above the answer would be XXXX-YYYY. I was thinking of using a mid or left, right formula till I discovered that the # of characters for X, Y and Z can be any length ie they could be
X-YYYY-ZZZZ
XXXX-Y-
XX-YYYY-ZZZZZ
So the formula needs to find the second dash (-) and extract information prior to it.

tools to extract store locator information from a company's website into excel?
For example: [url]
I am under an impression to loop the extracting process with all known US zipcodes and later remove duplicates. If looping is the way then how to pass on the zipcode to the store locator?

I have a string of information in an Excel download from PayPal that I need to upload into QB; but, the information needs to be in a different format. The string from the download is:
Property Address - 1116 South PaxonBorrower " Testa and Son Contractors,LLCLoan # - 1402088Acct Executive " Brandon Tully
But, I need it to be:
1402040;TPAPR;141 North Clinton Street, East Orange, NJ 07017;Leslie P Carter
Is there a formula that I can use to extract specific information from the original string into columns so I can then concatenate the columns into the information I need to upload? Or is there a better way to do this? The Property Address and Borrower Name are not static sizes so I can't use a formula that counts spaces.

I have created a spreadsheet that displays new dates in column D based on provided dates in Column B and recurrence intervals selected in column C. The dates in column D are when a training deadline occurs. I have been trying to get a macros written so that when a cell in column d is updated, an outlook appointment message is sent to the person doing the updating. The idea here is that anyone can use this without future coding (so their address would be placed in cell say A1)
So far all i have gotten is excel to send an email to me with the excel spreadsheet as an attachment, not really what I want. Again, I dont want somethign specific to my computer settings, I want to be able to send the spreadsheet out with simple instructions for the user to change their email in cell A1 and then every time a cell changes in column D, it automatically generate an appointment reminder for the new date.

My problem is I cannot copy from a Form Control drop down box, and I need to do this for ~10 drop down boxes in about 200 xls files. The files follow a template so the drop down button Inputs are uniform. Here is some more detail:
I’m building an Access Database so that our data (currently in many, many Excel Spreadsheets) can be efficiently queried. The old system was that when asset data was collected, the data would be entered into an Excel spreadsheet, using a Template. So for example:
Project A1234
Name
Main Street Pipe
High Street Pipe
Ref No.
12345
12346
Installation date
22/08/13
19/07/12
X Coordinate
55667
99212
Y Coordinate
77889
12364
We have hundreds of these files, but I managed to get all the files in one folder and Paste and Transpose the data from the relevant Cell Ranges in each file (using a VB sub) into ONE summary sheet. Success; or so I thought.
Unfortunately for one generation of the template (people changed them slightly every year), the template had people enter information into Drop Down Menus. Not a problem when they’re associated with a cell, but these were free floating Form Controls.. so you can’t actually click and copy from them, or call them in VB as you would a specific cell.. afaik.
So my issue is how can I extract the data from those Form Buttons? I’ll try and provide as much info as I can:
Firstly I tried to find some sort of identifier for each Form Button. The dropdowns are called Combo Boxes, (Developer tab > Insert > Combo Box (Form Control) ), and when you select them (by right clicking) and hit the View Code button in Developer Tab > Controls the following shows up in VB.
Sub DropDown44_Change()
End Sub
I’m guessing that the number is related to the button so that’s one useful thing, an identifier of sorts. There’s no actual code there though really from what I can see.. My problem is I have no idea how to extract from DropDown44!
The range of values in the drop down comes from a separate sheet where there’s just a list of the values. There aren’t any cells linked to the drop downs though. If I enter a cell in (Right Click) Format Control > Cell link: then it prints the number (e.g. 4) of the value in the range. So if the drop down options are “Monday”, “Tuesday”, “Wednesday”, “Thursday” and “Thursday” is selected, the linked cell says: “4”.
They didn’t link a cell, then I could call that cell in a VB sub and the job would be done. Unfortunately they didn’t, so I tried Recording a Macro and selecting the drop down form control.. That didn’t really work, except if I right clicked it, I got some more info from the macro VB:
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Drop Down 19")).Select
So is my drop down an Array? My understanding of an Array is that it’s a list of arguments.. all I get there is the name of the button. I am not experienced in VB so this is as far as I’ve got. Perhaps I can get a sub to select the button using the above line, but I need the info from it, i.e. which value is currently selected in the Drop Down.
(Using Excel 2010 but the .xls files are from ~2005)

I've encountered another error when trying to run this macro to extract images from a spreadsheet. As the macro is running during the process it has stopped and I get the runtime error "1004": "Methid "Publish" of object "PublishObject" failed.
When I Debug it highlights the text below.
Sub Test()
Dim Folder As String
Dim Pic As Picture
Dim FileName As String
[Code]....
Alternatively if I click "End" it opens an extra excel window and displays an image from the original sheet. With the workbook labelled as the product code.

I have a large spreadsheet which contains multiple rows of rate data by employee. I have sorted by effective date with most recent date on the top to get the most recent rate of pay, however, is there a way or formula to be able to identify or extract the previous rate of pay after that? I have included a sample below. There are different #'s of rows of rate of pay based on how long someone has been in company, as well as different rates of pay and effective dates.
Employee #

i have this spreadsheet that has 2 tabs titled "master" and "unique". "master" has a list of ingredients (8 each), a number associated with it and a store number associated with it. for example (basil-136-r5). now, each store number has a different number associated to the ingredient. for example (basil-136-r5, basil-235-r6). on the "unique" tab/spreadsheet, im supposed to create a formula that calculates the number of times (ex: basil) is used and what number is associated with it to the store number. here is a pic:

Hi folks, I got great help just now on the first part of this project and am hoping to get lucky again. I attached a workbook. This is traffic count data. I need help pulling information from spreadsheet named HourTotals.
The data is in cells H2:AE366, it is 24 hours wide by 360 days long. I need to search that range for the highest number and in addition to the number get the corresponding date from the date_ column and the hour from the corresponding hr_X column and paste that information into another spreadsheet and repeat that process for say 500 values.

I am trying to do is create and link and user form to put information into a spreadsheet. Layout of the form is done but I'm not sure how to link the cells. Also, there are some cells pre-filled that should show up on the form but I don't want the user to change those (columns a,b,c - guessing i will protect those).
Would be great if the user could navigate rows within the form so I included buttons for previous and next entries (this feature would be very similar to the built-in data form that excel provides). My sample spreadsheet is attached.

I have a spreadsheet here that collect information through vb, now when the first agent is done with the information needed and click on the save command button the information is saved in the spreadsheet.
For example:
A | B | C | D | E
1 Date | Name | Birthdate | Gender | Age
2 11/20/11 | Greg White | 04/12/1977 | Male | 34
3 11/20/11 | Greg Blue | 04/12/1977 | Male | 34
4 11/20/11 | Greg Green | 04/12/1977 | Male | 34
5 11/20/11 | Greg Black | 04/12/1977 | Male | 34
Now theres no problem with this instance.... the problem arise when the second agent do the same thing..... when i check the spreadsheet the information was overwritten.
What really should be happening is that when the first agent click the save command button the spreadsheet will be saved so that when the next agent click the save button it will go to the next line.
Another thing that i noticed, since the spreadsheet is shared through the network, it takes time before the information is saved.
1. When Save button is clicked the spreadsheet will be saved.
2. A code (if there is any) to speed up the saving of shared excel file.

I have a userform that will be a 'work order' for repairs. The ladies in the office can fill out all the blanks that will be entered into the spreadsheet. Each time someone is done, it will plug the information on the next available row on the spreadsheet. Easy enough.
What I need is putting a 'work order number' on the form. I have put numbers (101, 102, 103...) in Column A on the spreadsheet. I would like the form to pull the next available number and put it at the top of the Userform. I want this number to be 'locked' in so the ladies can't change it.
My goal - when the ladies are filling out the form, they can see what 'work order number' has been assigned and can give this number to the maintenance.

I have a large spreadsheet (1000-plus entries) that all have about 10 or 15 columns of information (product title, product number, etc).
I also made a form that I want to use as a master form, where all the titles will not change.
What I am wanting to do is, by going off the product number, when you click it, this pre-made master form will pop up, and all the information that was located on the large spreadsheet for this product number will be inserted where it is designated to be on the master form.
While I could probably do something like this through Access, we need to keep it on Excel, and in the same workbook so that it will automatically update things once I put a new number or input onto the large spreadsheet.
