I have a routine where I and others enter employee names. It takes whatever case is inputted, and formats it to Capitialize the first name, Middle Initital, and Lastname. However, my routine is flawed slightly and I was wondering if there was a way to fix it.
The flaw is in the names such as McSomething, or MacDonald, McMasters.. the routine will Capitalize the first and last names, put a comma and even put a period if there is a middle initial (or not if there is no middle initial), but I can't figure out how to identify if its a Mc or a Mac or any other of those surnames. The routine will force it to Mcsomething or Macdonald ... so.. any ideas ?? It won't capitalize (in this case) the S in Mcsomething.
Public Sub StandardizeName()
Dim FN, MI, NOFI, NOLI, FirstName, LastName, First, Middle, Lastn As String
'Standardizes all name inputs - due to user input error
FN = TextBox3.Value
Lastn = TextBox1.Value
MI = TextBox4.Value
I have a large spreadsheet with names (i.e. Smith, John) and would like to capitalize and bold the first word of a range of cells (i.e. SMITH, John). Been searching for hours and all that I can find has to do with capitalizing the first letter, not the first word.
I would like a user to be able to enter text into a cell in any case and have it be displayed in all capital letters (or as a "Proper" capitalization). Seems strange that >FORMAT doesn't seem to have a "case" selection.
Past threads show VB code to do this, but I don't want the user to have to click a button to change case. Could the VB code run automatically after the user hits >enter, or tab, or an ->? Is there a way to >FORMAT a cell to do this change? I know the "Upper" & "Proper" functions but it would be very clumsy to have the user enter data in cell A1 just to be displayed in capitals in cell A2.
Example: When user types "lax" in cell A1, I would like "LAX" to be displayed in cell A1.
I want to get out of a loop in the middle of it, with out going out from the whole procedure.
By the way, is there is possibility to send him to other location in the code instead of going out of the loop?
Do While ( Cells(counter, 5).Value = 1) 'some commands If R(1) >= 0.83 * R(2) Then 'some commands Else ' here I want it to go out of the loop, ' but not to get out of the whole porcedure End If counter = counter + 1 Loop
An application I use at work exports names in a first name-last name format. At this point I have a list of about 315 names in this format. Is there a way I can convert these names to a last name-first name format? I need to export these data on a daily basis, so I'll need to perform this conversion every day. I did a search for this, but didn't find anything.
I have a worksheet with some names in a column with a persons first name then the second name and I would like to place the names in a different column I can have this to work ok with the following formula
=MID(A1&" "&A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,LEN(A1))
This works ok but I have people with three names like Peter May Jones
When I have changed the name I would like to have (Jones, Peter May) but I get (May Peter Jones)
Also the colon I have after the first name gets put at the end of the name not after the last name.
I have code that copies data from one tab, called "Report" - to another tab called "Master". The data in the "Report" tab is actually 2 reports. Both reports have the exact same format but are separated by 1 or 2 blank rows and a Heading row. Before I run the code, I have to delete the blank rows and middle heading row.
I was wondering if there is code that could find these rows and delete them.
The row that I delete has the following values (which are headings): Col 1, 2, 3. The populated columns are A - L
I want to extract just the last name from a cell that contains the full name and put just the last into a seperate cell.
WHAT I AM DOING: i copy the contents of a internal screen onto a spreadsheet that i use to check various peices of info and calculations. when i save I like to save my sheet with the last name and then acct number. The internal system screen combines the customers names into a single cell. Right now i have to type the last name into a new cell and have a simple save macro that concatenates that last name with the acct number and saves it into the appropriate folder.
The field i am pulling from is always formatted with FIRST NAME then MI (IF PROVIDED) and then LAST NAME. So when i dump the screen contents into excel A20 may be MIKE SMITH, or MIKE T SMITH. so i need something that looks backwards in the cell and stops at the first space and dumps SMITH into another cell of my choosing (B1 in this case)
I have a spread sheet that the user enters 3 characters in B2 of a name, then the code will determine out of 35,000 rows with names in Column B how many match the 3 consecutive chracters, all other rows that dont match will hide.
My issue is, that the code seams to find the 3 leters only when there in the middle of a name, and will not identify all other simularities where the 3 letters are at the begining of the name, or at lerast not in all cases.
I adjusted the "Set tempCell = .Columns(2)." to (1) and that worked great but caused other problems.
lastrow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row Set tempCell = .Range("B:B").Find(what:=Left(.Range("B2").Value, 3), After:=.Range("B2"), _ LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _ SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False) If tempCell Is Nothing Then MsgBox "Not found" Exit Sub Else Set foundCell = tempCell Range(.Range("B3"), foundCell.Offset(-1, 0)).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If Do Set tempCell = .Columns(2).FindNext(After:=foundCell) If foundCell.Row >= tempCell.Row Then Exit Do Range(foundCell.Offset(1, 0), tempCell.Offset(-1, 0)).EntireRow.Hidden = True Set foundCell = tempCell Loop Range("A" & foundCell.Row + 1 & ":A" & lastrow).EntireRow.Hidden = True End With End Sub
I want to write a macro that is able to copy the 5th position to the 10th position characters from one cell to another. For example, in Cells(B1) contains: Mon Jan 8 09:00:02 2007. Then I want to copy "Jan 8" to Cells(A1). How do I do that? Also, i am not supposed to hardcode the cells. The codes should look something like that
start = InputBox.... end = InputBox...
For i = start To End Cells(i,"A").Value = (whatever Function To copy 5th To 10th char of Cells(i,"B"))....... Next i
In A3 is a surname, in B3 is a first name (and possibly multiple middle names, separated by a space). In C3 I'd like the first name ONLY and the surname
A3......................B3.................C3 Hobbs.................Jon Peter........Jon Hobbs Peters.................Mark..............Mark Peters Jones..................Bob Tim Mark...Bob Jones
In some cells the format (all in the same cell) is:
I have a problem here with the currency style, when I put the number in the cell and clicked the currency style button, the currency is placed in the left side and the number is in right side. How can I make it both in the middle? http://i44.tinypic.com/bfnbqd.jpg
I'm trying to create a VB Script for an AS/400 app. It's all written but I'm trying to feed the data for part from an excel file. If B5 was 10 I need the final output in my cell to read:
autECLSession.autECLPS.SendKeys "10"
Here is my current formula ="autECLSession.autECLPS.SendKeys"""""&B5*100&"""""" It's reading as autECLSession.autECLPS.SendKeys""10"" which has two sets of quotes not just one and no space between sendkeys and "10"
I have lots of data in the form of names, and i want to extract all rows of data for that name. So if name "john smith" appears in column A 7 times, i retreice 7 rows of data.
This works perfectly and it gives me my 7 rows of data if i type in "john Smith" into A10, however, i want one more condition to be met in column C, whereby Column C is made up of either 1, or 0. If its a 0 i am not interested, if it is a 1, i am.
FUNCTION(A) If Condition 1 is True Then...Make Cell B Blue
FUNCTION (B) X=X+1 Loop Until X = 100
I want to make it so the "If Then" statement, if true, will cause the loop to skip FUnction B and head back to Function A with X equal to X+1. What do I put in the if statement to make this happen. NEXT X or something?
I have a several hundred rows of data that are telephone line type, number and user name all concatenated. This is the way the data arrives. I need to extract the number and user name into 2 separate columns - I do not need the phone type. Is there a formula that can identify numbers within text. I can't use Text to Columns as the leading telephone line type varies and I don't want to use VBA to do the work. There are at least 10 different line types, example of some:

Can this be done or will I have to resort to code.
I just bought a database and I would say at least 20% of the names in the database have an initial after the first name. I need to have a clean first and last name list. Is there a formula that can delete the initials? I am working on a variable data print project that uses their first name in the message so I cannot have their middle initial.
So like in one example her first name is listed as Susan F. I want it to just be Susan. Another example is T. Jones as a last name, I want it to be just Jones.
I have a large excel spreadsheet which looks at a number of test results for students in school. The worksheet being prepared by marcos to display different class results dependent on the teacher select so they can view their class data. The sheet works fine and does all I need but have a fault with the transfer of test results which contain zeros. These are transfered with the zero missing even if the zero is in the middle of the number eg 203. The display if zeros is not suppressed and I have no format to suppress zeros but also understand these commands on suppress empty cells containing just zero.
This code will bring up the fault shown above and will loose zeros so 10 on source sheet becomes 1 and 102 becomes 12
I wondered if the SUBSTITUTE command is causeing issues but cannot remember quite what this command does - may have copied from elsewhere and not fully understood it.
The following code is used elsewhere on the same worksheet to display the same test result but in a individual pupil format rather than as a class sheet.
This picks up the same result but does not suppress the zeros. It cannot be used to do the job of the upper code as it reads from the original source where as the upper line of code reads from a central point which does not change so the data from 6 different areas is copied into this area.
These are not part of macros just in a cell. The cells are not formatted and then right click format cell is just "general".
Needless to say I need to know what I have done wrong to get the test result to be displayed incorrectly so I can correct it to get the sheet right.
