I'm adding some necessary code to the beginning and end of some cell contents in Format | Cells | Custom and I seem to be coming up against a character limit.
I'm using the phrase "!!<"@">!!" to add the code, but with some cell contents the result is ########### (but much longer), and I'm having to remove some of the text to make it work. The limit seems to be around 255 characters.
I'm trying to use the countif function to search a cell containing, say, 1000 alphanumeric characters.
For example, cell A1 contains the text...
"There needs to be an easier way to build worksheet formulas for 64 levels of nesting and 255 arguments to be meaningful. Perhaps a "Formula Composer" dialog box or something that allows you to build up a complex formula in parts and allows you to evaluate the partial formulas. When you're done, and the formula is displayed in the sheet, all of the parentheses would be automatically put in the correct places."
...and cell A2 contains the formula...
I am using the code below to rename worksheet tabs based on the value in cell B3 on each worksheet. I am getting a run time error attributed to the value in cell B3 exceeding 31 characters. This is the maximum number of characters a worksheet tab can support. some additional code to rename the worksheet tabs and trim the name when 31 character limit is reached? note I need to keep the value in cell B3 as it is but trim the worksheet tab name only.
Code:
For I = 1 To Sheets.Count
If Worksheets(I).Range("B3").Value "" Then
Sheets(I).Name = Worksheets(I).Range("B3").Value
Else:
Sheets(I).Name = "Default (" & I & ")"
End If

I'm trying to have the macro limit the cell entry to 5 characters beginning with a "P" and the remaining 4 character being numeric. The problem I'm having is that it's not recognizing the requirement for the beginning "P" but only identifies if the length is less than 5 characters. Any idea how I can resolve this?
For PN2 = 43 To 72
If Not IsEmpty(Cells(PN2, 1)) And Left(Cells(PN2, 1), 1) "P" And Len (Cells(PN2, 1)) 5 Then
MsgBox ("The employee number must be 5 characters long begining with P (e.g. P0001), please change accordingly!")
Range(Cells(PN2, 1), Cells(PN2 + 2, 1)).ClearContents
Cells(PN2, 1).Select
End If

I am working in Office 2000, and have 3 Textboxes, I need to copy text from Textbox1 and Textbox2 to Textbox3, and the code below works but only when the character length is limited. I need to be able to show much more text. Suggestions. I am trying some of the code
Option Explicit
Sub Text_Copy()
Dim ch1 As Characters
Dim ch2 As Characters
Dim ch3 As Characters
With Sheets("Aim Up Description")
Set ch1 = .Shapes("TextBox1").TextFrame.Characters
Set ch2 = .Shapes("TextBox2").TextFrame.Characters
End With
With Sheets("Description Summary")
Set ch3 = .Shapes("TextBox3").TextFrame.Characters
End With
ch3.Text = ch1.Text & " " & ch2.Text
End Sub
I have found code on other posts that I have tried (like, Range("A16").Value = Val("TextBox1"),
Is there anyway of aligning part of a formula to a certain character limit (63)?
For example:
Aaaaaa(A1), bbbbbbb(B1), 1111111.00(C1)
Aaaa(A2), bbbb(B2), 11.00(C2)
to
Aaaaaa(A1), bbbbbbb(B1),____________1111111.00(C2)
Aaaa(A2), bbbb(B2),______________________11.00(C2)
Formula on how to limit character length limit in a column in excel. I would like to limit the column to 32 characters
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn Userform1 I have several textbox and one commandbutton1. If I mouseclick on a textbox and click commandbutton1 the letters YES is entered in the texbox. To prevent double click entry into the same textbox I set the maximum length property at 3. However, setting the maximum length to 3 does not work. Subsequent commandbutton1 clicks will result in an infinite YES entries.
Is the maximum length property disabled when commandbutton entries are applied?
Currently using LEN to simply count 50 characters then it tells the user that they need to move onto the next line.
Is it possible with VBA that after 50 characters reached in the selected cell it forces the user into the next cell below and so on in a loop?
I have huge columns of data that can only be 30 characters long. I want to use a formula to split the column into two. The original column will have a character limit of 30, and should not cut words in half. If the Length will be more than 30 while including the entire last word of the cell, that word should be the first displayed in adjacent cell in the 2nd column.
The 2nd column can be any length.
I usually use a Text to Columns method, but dont know how to make it not cut off the words.
I have a text box that is set to "=B1". B1 is a cell from an Access table import with memo format. The text memo is long, probably on average between 1000-2000 characters. I have set up the text box to automatically resize for the text, but the text stops at what I assume is 255 characters, even though cell B1 displays the entire memo.
How can I set it up so that this text box (or any other similar shape) displays the text and retains its resize/wrap property?
This is done in Excel 2010.

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.

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.

I have a formula that adds two numbers. Here it is:
=IF(E10="","",(E10+$C$8))
I don't want the numbers to be more than 360 when added up. When it reaches 360, I want it to start over from zero. Instead of, say, E10 = 200 and C8 = 200 ... I don't want the answer to be 400, I want it to be 40.
I have a workbook with 3 sheets. Sheet 1 contains a month of data with Customer Name and Product Code, and quantity shipped (columns A, B, and C). Sheet 2 contains Product Code and quantity produced (Column A and B). In Sheet 3, I have the customer name listed once by running a pivot table against the data in Sheet 1. I need to show the quantity produced for each customer in Sheet 3 but not exceed the quantity produced for that Product Code in Sheet 2 even if the quantity shipped was greater. For example:
Sheet 1
Customer A - 100 shipped of Product Code X
Customer B - 200 shipped of Product Code X
Sheet 2
Product Code X - 150 produced
Sheet 3
Customer A - 100 total
Customer B - 50 total
Customer B would only be allocated 50 as there was only 150 produced and Customer A was allocated 100 of the total 150 produced, leaving 50 to allocate to Customer B.
how to make a summation formula in excel (not simply adding 2 numbers together)? I have one cell that I would enter a number into, and another cell which would specify the limit. So if the first cell A1 = 1, and cell A2 = 50, then the 3rd cell would automatically add up every number "n" plus 1 until n=50. ie: (1+1)+(2+1)+(3+1)+...+(50+1)=result. The limit would have to be flexible, so if I change the 3rd cell to 70 then it would calculate to 70.

I've spent a fair amount of time creating a financial planning spreadsheet that I'd like to try to sell. My biggest problem is selling it to people and allowing them to use it without them being able to email it to anyone else. My first thought was to code it where a macro will run when the spreadsheet opens that checks if the spreadsheet is being opened on a specific computer and will close down if it is opened on an unauthorized computer. I'm not sure if this will work or how to code it

I have constructed an inventory formula, subtracting Current Inventory (CI) from Required Inventory (RI), to generate a number of how many new products must be Ordered: RI-CI=O. The problem is that if CI exceeds RI, I get a negative number for "O".
Question: How can I structure the formula to give a zero for any sum less than 1?
For example in this formula I typed in WWW as the max:
=SUMPRODUCT(($F$5:$WWW$5>=C2)*1,($F$5:$WWW$5<=C3)*1,ABS($F$6:$WWW$6))
If I try to type in a value higher than WWW it will give me an error. I was just trying to put in an amount that I would never hit within the row.
in the attached spreadsheet I have multiple sheets. On the tab "Tech IDS", column A is named "Name" and column B is the tech ID that is associated with the name in column A. Column B is validated as List=Name. Now under the tab "CAL Form" under Column A I need to type the tech's name. Now under the tab "CAL SHEET TEMPLATE" the name that I typed corresponds with a given cell (i.e. B2='CAL Form'!A2). Notice though that I2 does not give a tech id b/c of DV dropdown list meeting its limit. Look at I68, Bob's id appears b/c he fits within the limits. My question is... how can I still use the list with more names or can I modify the formula (=INDEX(ID,MATCH(B68,Name,0))) to include another Match search?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an excel-sheet with two worksheets one called "sheet1", this is where all data is stored, and "sheet2", where data from sheet1 can be evoked.
I'm now looking for some code that get arounds the 3 conditions limit of conditional formatting. Most of the codes on internet, just do this but only when entered manually on the selected sheet. In my case all data is entered on sheet1 and are displayed by some formulas on sheet2. It is on sheet 2 where I would like the color change to happen.
I found a piece of code that was said to do just that, but when testing it appears not to. It only updates the cell color when the concerning cell is clicke twice.
