how I could split a cell's contents into two cells when it contains more than 1024 chars? The code would need to be clever enough to split the data after the nearest full stop before the 1024 char limit.
View 3 RepliesI am having mucho problems because of Excel's 255 character limit when copying an entire spreadsheet to a new workbook.
In a nutshell, I copy a "data entry" page onto a “report” page within a workbook. The entire “report” page is then copied and moved into a new workbook. That allows me to have a stand alone, exported file outside of my main data entry tool. When you copy an entire page to a new workbook, Excel imposes a 255 character limit. Thus, I see truncated responses on the exported spreadsheet only.
I have a cell that is acutally a concatination of several other cells. The formula is something like this....
=A1 & B1 & A1 & C1 & A1 & D1 & A1
Cell A1 contains the formula =char(13). This forces a line break between each data element.
My problem is that on some peoples machines the cell displays with a square at the end. I'm not sure why it does this only on some machines. Is there a better way to do this or is there a way to suppress the square?
I'm trying to validate a string that can have only dots and numbers, but there can't be two dots in a row. String has to begin with a number and end to a dot
So these are ok
1.1.1.1.1.1.
and
2.452443.1.5.21.5.42131.
but
1..1.
and
1.1.t.
and
.1.1.
and
1.1
are not ok.
Cell B4: 02/11/2008
Cell B7: Empty
Cell B8: Empty
Cell B9: Empty
Cell B10: Empty
Cell B11: Empty
Cell B12: Empty
Cell B13: Empty
Cell B14: Empty
B4 is a date format and I need to copy each single character from B4 so that it goes into the corresponding cells from B7 through to B14. So it looks like this:
Cell B4: 02/11/2008
Cell B7: 0
Cell B8: 2
Cell B9: 1
Cell B10: 1
Cell B11: 2
Cell B12: 0
Cell B13: 0
Cell B14: 8
I am not sure how to find the position of a character and put it into another cell, is anyone able to help me with this?
I have this forumala.
=RIGHT(A1,MIN(500,LEN(A1)))
I would like to apply this formula to VBA and call to existing macro so that this is applied to all the cells in Col. A. How can I do that? Or, is there a better way to do it?
Buttom line, I'd like to see only the last 500 characters per cells in Col. A after I run the macro.
I have attached a sample file where I want to concatenate data in colums A2:H2 into one column with line breaks. But CHAR(10) function alonwith CONCATENATE is not working. I have formatted the destination cell for wrap text.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to create the user defined function in excel in which i will assign the value to a char and after that i should b able to use it in formula.
Eg: for "FL" i will assign 1
for "LF" i will assign 2
for "VV1" i will assign 3
for "VV2" i will assign 4
and so on.......then i want to use this to compare both figures like
i will put the formula like if(VV1 < VV2,true,false) result should b true coz VV1 is having value of 3 and VV2 is having 4.
So basically how we create the custom lists i want to give the priority to my own list and want to use it in formula.
I just found out the the line
Range("a1") = tbox.Text
only grabs the first 255 characters and leaves the rest behind. I have around 200 workbooks with textboxes in them and I need to get them onto the worksheets themselves.
Is it possible to set a PasswordChar for an InputBox?
Basically, I have an input box asking for an admin password to make changes, and I'd like to make it so onlookers wouldnt be able to see the password. Any suggestions on how to do this?
I could make another userform and have the textbox have a PasswordChar, but I'd rather not.
Need to correct code to resize all visible rows on a sheet based only on the text in the visible columns. I have tried the below code but when it resizes it is using the largest amount of text in the rows including that in the hidden columns.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm new to this, and trying to get a spreadsheet organised for my nba fantasy team. To save time, (and me having to enter the positions of 300ish people individually) I'm trying to pull out their positions into seperate colums.
The data I am trying to pull is from these:
Jarrett Jack, Ind PG
Gerald Wallace, Cha SF, PF
=IF(FIND("PG",$B2),"PG","")
That is the formula I am trying to use, it finds the PG for some, but when it doesn't it gives me this "#VALUE!" in the cells, instead of a blank as I have tried to input.
Now, there are 5 combinations that I am trying to pull out: PG, SG, SF, PF and C.
There are multiple combinations that need to be pulled out, and placed into my 3 cells allocated (EG - 1 for Pg, 1 for SG, 1 for SF).
I have also found a flaw that takes the C from Cha (being the team) instead of from the position. Can I search for a individual C? I've tried to google these things, but I can't find an answer.
is there a way to automate =left(b1,40) and remove commas from the text?
text in the cell would be something like a name for instance john doe, LLC but some names are to long so was using the =left to reduce it to 40 characters and using find/replace for the commas replacing it with a space.
I need a slight mod to the below code which works perfectly otherwise. What it does is it divides whatever is in column K by 30 and puts in its relative cell in column M( There a bunch of mini tables below each other with blank rows in between).
The thing is sometimes there are characters in column K like "N/A" for instance and the macro crashes since its only designed to take into account numerical and blank cells in column K.
Is there any way to display one-third 1/3 in a Userform label control?

Is there a way to make the find and replace function not stop when a cell is too large? Instead, make it pass over the large cells and move on to the next cells? Is there a function that gives the number of characters in a cell? If so, one could sort by cell size and then work around the cells that are too large?
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan you limit the characters inside of one cell to 55 characters? I need this function for eBay's File Exchange Format. I'm sure that there is some VBA code or formula out there that can accomplish this.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to store a known index, unknown value in a variable so I can increase the value and use it in a database. It is used as a version number for a part and the versions go like: "00" -> "AA" -> "AB" -> .... -> "AZ" -> "BA"... etc.
VB:
If tool.Worksheets("TRB Database").Cells(A, "R").Value <>
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Design Calculator, Q").Cells(7, "C").Value Or
tool.Worksheets("TRB Database").Cells(A, "AA").Value <>
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Design Calculator, Q").Cells(5, "K").Value Or tool.Worksheets("TRB Database")
[Code] ....
That is a part of the increase and when I try to increase "AA" by 1 it goes to "B" and not "AB".
VB: tool.Worksheets("TRB Database").Cells(row1, "D").Value = Chr(Asc(tool.Worksheets("TRB Database").Cells(A, "D").Value) + 1)
This is where I increase the value.
Is there a way of limiting the amount of characters you can enter in each cell?
Also is there a way to apply this to an existing sheet that has cells with more characters in it than I would like? ie. If an existing cell has 25 characters in it, could i cut it down to the first 10?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI understand that exceeding approx 4000 cell formats causes the message "Too many cell formats" and a freezing up Excel.
Are there versions of Excel (2007?, Vista?) for Windows XP that significantly increase the 4000 limit, and if there are, what are their limits on the number of cell formats?
I would like to limit a text cell to 40 characters. If greater than 40 characters are entered, the rest is truncated. Can this be done without VBA?
I have limited it by going Data - Validation
This has done two things. 1. Gives an error box with Error Alert Turned on. 2. Allows greater than 40 characters to be entered if Error alert is turned off.
Is there a way to limit say a value to be inputted into a cell say between 1 and 10, and to have a warning message pop up if any other values are keyed into that particular cell?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there was a way of reducing the maximum characters allowed in a cell reference.
I am creating a form which Bank details need to be entered and would like to only allow a possible 16 characters.
I have data in a sheet in Excel 2007 that I am trying to move to another sheet in the same workbook.
I am using Vlookup to move the info from one sheet to the other.
However it seems that if the data in the original sheet cell is too large I get a #VALUE! error.
If I copy and paste the info from the cell it is fine.
How do I copy the information (hyperlink) in the original sheet cell to the destination sheet cell?
Here is the formula that I am using.
=HYPERLINK(VLOOKUP(A67,'verified1-4-12'!B:E,4,0))
verified1-4-12 is the original sheet name
trying to limit the number of characters entered in a cell.
I clicked on Custom then =LEN(A10)=6 which works when i enter more or less than 6 characters, however it lets you paste in something which has more than 6 charters.
I think it's an easy one but for the life of me I can't get around it. ccasionally while re-typing data in fields with the intention of saving-as a new file, an error message appears saying "no more than 20 characters" This happens even when the number of characters is LESS than 20! I have tried clearing cell contents, copying & pasting, re-setting conditions/parameters for columns/rows etc., and nothing seems to work with any consistency. Instead of looking for a work-around solution I'd like to find the actual corrective action.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI wish to limit the number of text characters in a cell and have excel prevent the entry of additional characters after limit is reached. I have tried the Data Validation but it does not preven the entry of additional characters. I want to be able to show the error immediately when the limit is reached and no additional characters are permitted.
