Change Character Macro
Jan 27, 2009
In column A if have strings like this: X-100-X10 or C-100-1X00 etc.
I need to change the X at the end of the string to "." e.g. X-100-.10 or C-100-1.00
Can't figure it out since there can be 1 "X" or more than 1 "X" and the second "X" that needs to get changed can be in a different location i.e. not alway 3 from the right or 7 from the left.
Is there some macro code I can use to make this change? Otherwise I have to change hundreds of these manually.

I have created a form and the form contains one textbox that will support only one character, I'd like that character to be Green in colour, after 2 minutes I'd like that character to turn amber and if another two minutes go by then turn red and remain as such until a new character is typed in and start all over again.

Looking for VBA that can change the font size of "•" char(0149) within any string in selected cells.
Also looking to delete the last "•" char(0149) within any string of selected cells.
What would the syntax for these two functions be?

I have the code below, which works fine apart from I get a little square coming up every time I run the code, as this gives you a line the Chr(10) has to be there. When I tale the Chr(10) out the little square disappears but then I don't get a new line. I have set the formatting to "wrap text" but it is still showing up. I am not quite sure where to go from here, I have also done a ="test"&CHAR(10)&"test" and that worked fine with no little square.

I'm trying to use Excel 2003 macros for the first time and am very frustrated by it's recorder function. I've used several standalone TSR macro recorders several years ago and they were much easier but certainly not as feature rich.
I have a spreadsheet that I've been using for a couple of years where I have manually entered data. My company has recently started to dump data into an Excel sheet but instead of pure numeric or date values being used they are extracting the values with the ' character starting the value. I want to strip this ' character.
What I do is select the cell I want to edit and invoke the macro. Then press {F2} to edit the contents of the cell, {Home} to move to the left, {Del} to delete the first character - the apostrophe, and {Enter} to complete the edit and move down one cell.
Using the recorder captures the following. Unfortunately it doesn't simply delete the first character, it copies the value of the previous cell to the next cell when I invoke the macro again.

I'm looking for a quicker way to take a list of numbers and adding commas, then putting them in the same cell so I can input them into a web database much faster. I can do it long hand by using concatenate first on the list to add commas to each cell, then making another concatenate to put them all in one cell, but doing the latter takes quite a while because of having to input each cell into the formula. Is there a way I can combine the 2 into a macro to accomodate for any length of cells?
Example, I have this list
12
13
14
15
16
17
As my list of numbers, and I need it to look like this in one cell:
12,13,14,15,16,17

I have got a list of numeric abbreviations, for instance 10739011/21/31/41. What it should really display are the numbers 10739011, 10739021, 10739031 and 10739041 (the first six figures stay the same). All the numbers in my list are 8 figures long. I want to change the list from the list seperated by the backward slash to the complete numbers. I have uploaded an example of the list with backward slash between the numbers. Is there a way that Excel can automatically change these numbers to the full numbers?
Because all the numbers are 8 figures long, I thought the first 6 figures of the 1st number can be copied and those 6 figures pasted before the other two figures after the backslash. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;sorry, pressed OK too quickly. The problem is that there are sometimes 4 numbers in the cell, sometimes 6 and once three. I would like Excel to complete all the numbers in the cell and then move on to the cell underneath it and so on. Also, I would like each number to have it's own cell.

I am looking for a way to show the character location number of a text file, possibly in the first row or a macro that I can run at any given location that will give me the location # I am currently viewing.
Currently, when I open the file I can see the character # at the opening screen (see attached file) but they disappear when it actually converts. I would like to be able to keep the character location ruler once the file is opened in Excel so I don't have to manually count.

Need a formula/code that will determine what the corrected part number should be (insert dashes if they are missing) by comparing to other values in the list.
Original A1:A5 = {452, a-bc, 123, 4-52, abc}
Corrected C1:C5 = {4-52, a-bc, 123, 4-52, a-bc}
I can do this using an intermediate working column, but can this be done all in one formula, or via VBA?
My formulaic solution is thus: .....

I have a worksheet in which I have a worksheet_change macro. This worksheet_change macro makes sure that a few cells will keep their colors, even if the user copies and pastes a new value to that cell. This worksheet_change macro runs each time there is a change on the worksheet. Now my problem is that on the same sheet I have an update list macro which updates around 20.000 rows and two columns (which is alltogether around 40.000 values) and it takes a while to run. So.. it takes a loooooooooot of time (too much) when these two macros both run.
My question is that can I somehow disable the worksheet_change macro while the update list macro runs. I mean something like when I start the update list macro to disable worksheet_change macro and when the update list macro finishes, then reenable worksheet_change macro?

1st - Need a macro to change a range of cells colours based on a single cell having a value greater than 0.001. ie. cells A1 - G1 need to change to grey based on cell F1 having a value greater than 0.001 entered in it?
2nd - Also a macro for deleting the text contents of cell C1 based on cell F1 having a value greater than 0.001. Therefor if cell F1 has a number greater than 0.001 it changes the colour of celss A1 - G1 and also deletes the text in cell C1?

I want to sum/add values only if change occured based on Ctrl+down basis. For example, this is the column which starts from A2.
A2 5
A3 5
A4
A5 9
A6 9
A7 3
A8
A9 6
A10 3
A11
Now, what I want is to autosum values one time only whenever there is blank cell for around 1000 rows. I have been able to figure out the VBA code for this. Final result should look like this.
A2 5
A3 5
A4 5
A5 9
A6 9
A7 3
A8 12
A9 6
A10 3
A11 9

AS per the attchement, I add a date in the cell H2 and when I select in the cell I2 the date in the column K changes as per the =IF formula..
My question is the following: Would it be possible, once I select the option in I2 to have the formulas in the column K changed for value? I put a example recording a macro!
HTML Code:Â
Range("K2:K4").Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
I really wish to have that automaticaly done once I select the option in I2 without running manually a button.

I have a workbook save as "file1.xls" All the macros and stuff work great. I want to use this a template. The idea is to open this book at the beginning of each year and save it with the year in the name. This way I have a file for my business stuff for each year.
I have been saving along the way so I have it named "file1.xls, file2.xls, file3.xls.......up to file 7 right now."
When I save the name, the macro stop working. It seems like they are attached to the original name of the file. I will eventually save this file with a new name for my company and transfer it on to a different computer.
How do I fix this so that they will work with whatever the book is saved as?
Is there a way to have the macros save with my current workbook and transfer to my other computer when I get this project done?

I keep recording this macro, but the problem I run into is that the active sheet is always the specific name of the sheet. I need a general name so that the macro will work on any given sheet. On the sheet I am viewing, I simply want to change the tab color to black using a macro.

I have code which changes the worksheet tab names based on contents of a cell. I borrowed some very useful code from a previous thread. I'd like to modify the code so that the tab name updates everytime the cell contents change.
My code is below:
Code:
Sub ReNamer()
For L = 3 To 9
Sheets(L).Name = Sheets(L).Range("A1").Value
Next
End Sub

I have a sheet called Summary. On that sheet, Cell O6 has a drop down with two options, when you change these options, a number of other cells on the same sheet automatically change (just using formulas). Including a cell that I've given the named Range of 'testCell'. Based on the drop down, test cell will either = 8 or 9.
What I also want to change is the format of a range of cells whenever O6 is changed - but only when O6 is changed.
However, the following code does not work. It works fine if i remove the 'If Target.Address = "O6" Then ...' but doesn't work with it included.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "O6" Then
If Range("testCell").Value = 8 Then
Range("P10:AD27").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "_($* #,##0_);_($* (#,##0);_($* ""-""_);_(@_)"
Range("O6").Select

excel/vba/macro as well
I want to make a macro, which can look up a specific cell value in a column and then replace this value only the first time.
E.G.:
value - 25
desired_value - 31
Peers 30
apples 25
oranges 25
I want it to check the values in the range and change the first 25 to 31.
