Limit The Amount Of Characters Per Cell
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?

I 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.

Maximum Characters Per Cell
I have a worksheet that multiple users will be entering in data, this information is then being used to pull into a form located on a sepearte worksheet within the workbook. One of the cells in the input sheet has the potential to have more characters than excel will allow. It is my understanding the maximum number of characters per cell is 1,024. What is the best way to setup my spreadsheet in the event the data contains more than 1,024 characters. The informatino going into the cell are legal descriptions of property so I want to be able to keep the description together in the final document in the other worksheet. Is there a way the user can input the entire decription in one cell, regardless of the character size, then have a formula to take the first 1,024 characters and put them in one cell, followed by another formula to put the next 1,024 characters in the next cell? Then in my main document I would use the concatenate formual to combine these two cells into one.

Force New Active Cell When Maximum Number Of Characters Is Reached
We have a form that requires descriptive comments to be entered into several rows of merged cells. My goal is to have the form be able to automatically dropped down to the next row of merged cells when the current row of merged cells reaches a maximum number of characters. And finally, the last row of merged cells would not allow any more characters than the maximum assigned but not advance to another cell automatically. The rows I am working with specifically are: Merged Cells F23:R23; A24:R24; A25:R25; A26:R26;...A29:R29

MAXIMUM Function Limit: Return A Value?
What I'm trying to do is get the MAX function to return a value, but that value needs to come before the values reach zero. It's a cubic equation that basically starts, at the beginning of the data range, under 10 then hits zero and ends up near 30 at the end of the data range. The end data range max doesn't matter to me if the data range hits zero along the way. Is there any way to make the MAX function stop at a certain value, or is there another function that could accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Limit Returned Value To A Maximum/Minimum
Given this formula =(H2+( SUM(K53:DB53))) which simply takes an existing value and adds to it the sum of a series of values. I am happy if the value returned is any number less than 28. However if the value returned from the above formula is >28 I want the number returned to be shown as 28.

Limit Number Of Characters In Autoshape
I am using a diamond shape that is copied into the active sheet when the user runs a macro. The user then selects the shape and enters some text. I want to limit the characters to a certain number or at least be able to give the user some advice when they enter too many characters. I have found that, as long as I have manually named the shape "Diamond1", I can get the count in my immediate window with the following: ?ActiveSheet.Shapes("Diamond1").TextFrame.Characters.Count but I want the count to relate to the active shape. So I tried: ?selection.shapeRange.TextFrame.Characters.Count and I get a "runtime error 438 Object doesn't support this property or method". How should I count the characters in the selected shape, and then if it is over say 12, require the user to shorten it or at least present yield a message Box?

Change Range Of Maximum Value
From A1:A500, I have data with different numerical values. I want to be able to use a corresponding column and rows (example: B1:B500) where I can enter formula where maximum values where be reported. This I would like to change with a simple change of a single cell value (example: C1). So, If C1 has a value of 10, it will be used from every b cell to create a maximum value that would use a range going back only 10 cells for A.

Change Characters In Specific Position Of A Text File
I have a very large file of data, over 500,000 rows, opening in one sheet in Excel is not an option with my current version. In each row I need to change the characters in positions 41-44 from whatever they current are, to '9999'. I'm sure there has to be a way I can do this using vba, does anyone have a sample snippet of code, or another post they can point me too?

Cell Limit Work Around?
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?

Limit Cell And Truncate The Extra
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.

Too Many Cell Formats: Is 4000 Still The Limit
I 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?

Cell Visible Char Limit
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.

Limit Cell Entries Text Length
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.

Return Maximum Of Active Cell & Arbitrary Value To Cell
I am looking for VBA that will add the value of the current active cell on the sheet to the value in cell F12. The maximum value of F12 cannot exceed 1000. So if the value in F12 = 950 and 100 is the value in the active cell the maximum value in F12 should show 1000, not 1050. It should do this on the click of a button.

Maximum Cell Value
In a cell, I would like to limit the maximum upper limit. For instance, in a cell with (=H23*0.06), that value ranges from perhaps 1.48 up to 5.93; however, I would like for the upper limit to stop at 3.33. Would that be conditional formatting? How can I stop the upper limit at 3.33?

Cell Of Maximum Value In Another Column
I have a problem looking up the cell at which a maximum value in a curve is located. I have attached a workbook with an example of my problem (this is scaled down to limit the size of the attachment – my usual string of data is 5000 rows long). Column A is the time and all subsequent columns will contain force values (as shown in columns A and B) which create a similar sharp curve. Ideally I need to be able to lookup the time point (column A) at which the maximum force value occurs for each curve or if this is not possible the row number in which the maximum force value occurs. I would like to be able to do this using a formula rather than a macro if that is possible? I have tried using a number of excels lookup functions and read through the examples on the site but have had no success.

Return Cell Address With Maximum Value
I have two columns of numbers in column A & B. In column A I am trying to locate the maximum value and get the cell address of the number next to it in column B. I am currently using this formula to do this ..... =ADDRESS(MATCH(MAX(A1:A4),A1:A4),2,4) It works ok, but if the maximum number is the first value in the column it is returning the last cell address in column B. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Offset Cell From Found Maximum In Range
I recently asked how to locate a max value within a variable range using a macro and got the following responses: Get Maximum Value From Graph / Chart, all of which worked great. Dim r As Range Set r = Range("D2", Range("D50")) Range("K1").Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(r) Range("Max1") = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values) Start = "D24" Finish = "D163" Range(Start, Finish).Select myrange = Selection.Address Range("Max2") = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(Selection) Now I would like for a different cell to return the time value located one column to the left of the max value found above. I've tried to adapt other offset formulas that I've found to my purposes and haven't been able to make it work. how to do that using the max value as it is found in any of the above three ways

Lookup Nth Occurence In Range & Limit Rows To Search Based On Cell Value
I have a UDF for a lookup_occurrence formula (thanks to Dave), and I was wondering if it was possible to tweak the range it looks at with if statements. I have a formula like this =Lookup_Occurence(B13, INDIRECT($N$5), 1,1,5) where N5 says exit card 1. I need it to only look at a certain rows within exit card 1 depending on the value entered in I5. If value I5 says Period_1 it will only look in rows 12:46. If value I5 says Period_2 it will only look in rows 48:82 etc. I believe I need to modify the xl look part of the code with if statements. Below is the code. I am wondering if I can replace the xlLook line with nested if statements. If I5="Period_1 then rows 12:46" etc. Function Lookup_Occurence(To_find, Table_array As Range, _ Look_in_col As Long, Offset_col, Occurrence As Long, _ Optional Case_sensitive As Boolean, Optional Part_cell_match As Boolean) Dim lLoop As Long Dim rFound As Range Dim xlLook As XlLookAt Dim lOcCheck As Long

Find The Maximum Value In One Column And Retreive The Name Of Cell In Corresponding Row
I spent couple of hours trying to figure this out, but without success. Please check the attached example. I need a formula that will find the max value (number of views in English anguage) in the column "I" and display the corresponding "Headline" value in the column "B". In the example it is "Headline 5". I can not change position of the columns, i.e. "B" must remain "B" and "I" must remain "I". I experimented with Index and vlookup but to no success. I have outlook 2003.

Too Many Characters In Cell
I 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.
