i have a long text in A1 field and i just need to capture some characters in between. Below is the example.
Raw Data:
Cell A1 (r1,c1) = Target: ABC, CustomerOrder, Results: BDE, LastUpdate: 12Dec08
I want to get the Result as below:
Cell A2 = Target: ABC Cell B2 = Results: BDE
Can this be done in Excel Cell format? Or do i need to do it in MS Access?
I am trying to capture alpha characters entered into a textbox. If a character is (something) then a variable is (something).

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)
How to modify this code so that I select only one column triggers the time stamp update? For e.g. if i make any changes in column A, the date stamp is updated in the corresponding cell in column B. Basically, I am trying to narrow down to only one cell in the row, but it should work for any row in the sheet.

End Sub
I am trying to capture the value of a cell before a change even. The attached Macro will report the value before the change but does not store it so that I can use it in another module. What I am trying to do is capture the value before the change and then look that value up in another worksheet (in the same workbook) so I can make the same change in the second workbook.
The values will always be in Column B and will always be string characters.
The code I am using for the change event is as follows: ....
I would like to know how to capture a cell value at a specific date each month in a situation where this cell can change value as it is a formula. For example, the cell returns a percentage that is derived from other data that can change regularly. It may be 45% today, but a user may alter other data in the spreadsheet and it could be 67% tomorrow (or any other percentage).
I want to graph a monthly trend of how this cell value changes by capturing the cells value on the 20th day of every month, or it would also be ok to work on a periodic snapshot of every 30 days.
I'm trying to write a routine that will display the Red, Green and Blue RGB properties of a cell's interior colour.
I found the following function:
Code:
Function SingleColorFromRGB(colorWanted As String, RGBValue As Long) As Long
Dim rColor As Long, gColor As Long, bColor As Long
If RGBValue < 0 Then GoTo ReturnError
rColor = RGBValue Mod 256
RGBValue = Int(RGBValue / 256)
gColor = RGBValue Mod 256
[Code]...
How I should call this function in a worksheet, or failing that, come up with something better e.g. a message box that will display the numeric values of each RGB property for the selected cell, or a single cell worksheet name?
How do I capture a formula from a cell? I want to create a macro that takes each reference (let's say 'B4') and changes it to if(B4=0,0,B4).
View 8 Replies View Relatedi have used two form and a macro in a workbook. First one captures data via text box. This data is captured in a cell. Form two adds a new sheet with the name that is captured in a cell, then perforns some task in the newly created sheet. Macro does the formatting of the newly created sheet and saves the sheet. Again when i reopen the the workbook the value is captured in next blank cell and the procedure follows. This works fine as far as there is a single. But not in case of multiple user at the same time. Is there a way to directly capture the value to form 2 and macro so that multiple user can work on the same time.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have date values in a range of cells, and have named the range "ChangeRange".
How would I:
1. loop through the range to store the current value of each cell in a scripting directory?
2. use vba to compare the values in that dictionary to the current value of the cell when it changes (NOTE: the change is by formula, not by manual insertion of a new value?
3. write that old cell value in the cell immediately to the right of the cell when it changes and update the dictionary value with the "new" old value?
4. do this for more than one range of dates on the same page?
i am in need of the following.
A B C
9.30am 120 120
9.31am 119.9
9.32am 119.8
9.33am 121
9.34am 120.9
9.35am 120.8 120.8
Here A and B value is keep on changing from external source, when A1=9.30am, the B1 value 120, then C1 should capture the B1 value and stored in it. like wise it captured and stored for every 5 minit or as per requirement.
Assuming I have three worksheets:
1) input: col A has a series of product code (string)
2) calculation: where I want to automatically copy and paste each product code from "input" worksheet into "calculation" cell B4, and through many steps of calculations, return the outputs in cell B8 and B9 (parameters are numeric)
3) output: how to automatically record B8 and B9 from "calculation" sheet to this sheet Row 5 and 6 from each loop? (format of output doesn't really matters)
I'm trying to do is definetly simple to a lot of you, but I'm struggling on how to get started. I attached a workbook that clearly shows my work! I'm almost there but not quiet. Basically the user will be able to make a slection that will be used to lookup values from a different sheet. Each selection triggers a ranking number at the bottom (red pattern) in the worksheet. Now I would like to capture all scenarios and display the ranking.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo we have people's names in a table. First name in one column and last name in another column. We have a 3rd column where we can use 8 characters to do a combination of First 5 of Last Name + first 3 of first name. However, if someone's last name is only 3 or 4 characters, we'd then want to take more from the first name to fill out the 8 characters.
So:
Charles Johnson -> Johnscha
John Smith -> Smithjoh
Willian Wu -> Wuwillia
What's the best way to do that without creating some crazy formula with tons of if/thens?

Example of original data: Joe Shmoe V-225, 310 VIII-22, 86, 110
I have separated the data into separate columns. Now I have:
Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 Col 4 Col 5 Col 6
Joe Shmoe V-225 310 VIII-22 86 110
At this point, I want to combine the Roman numeral in Col 2 with Col 3 and 4 and combine the Roman numeral in Col 4 with Col 5 and 6.
There are way too many records for me to manually enter the Roman numeral where missing.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet which I use to enter notes related to particular invoice numbers. A v-lookup pulls the notes into another tab. What I'm running into is that the notes can be quite lengthy - in excess of 1,000 characters. When the notes get too long, they don't all appear in a single cell (unless it's extremely wide).
I'm wondering if there may be a way to maintain my notes in a word doc instead? Maybe in a table that pulls in using a v-lookup? But I'm not able to figure out how to direct a v-lookup to a word doc.

View 3 Replies View Related I have excel formula which let for different numbers appear in the same cell,

for example we have AS1 cell in which appear first number 15, then it change to 5, then it change to 15, then it change to 11 etc. What i need is to capture and lock just the first shown number (in this ex. it has to be 15) and put it to another cell (for ex. cell AT1) Maybe there is any formula ?

As you can see, in D5, I have the charactor chain SRG-DC01-RA-xxxxxxx, and in D6 I have the charactor chain SRG-DC43-RA-xxxxx.
With the formula that I have entered, I would have thought that E5 would have generated "Lawnton". I don't want the formula to pick up the SRG, the RA, or the number, just the DCXX component.
This is what I have now:
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"DC43","DC01"},D5))),"Erskine Park","Lawnton")
which has not changed a thing from:
=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"DC43"},D5))),"Erskine Park")
Surely I am not far off the mark??

A neat formula however would be the best solution, coz the number of entries varies, in the workbook attached I have 14 different cases though. I need to know when a cell does not repeat any of the possible 7 letters, in each given cell. If there is repetition then leave the cell blank , if all four of the letters are different then place "NR" in the cell.
