Circumventing Silly 255 Char Limit When Copying Entire Sheet
Aug 1, 2007
I 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.
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.
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.
I want to copy a D1-C1 formula all the way down column E. If I don't have any data in column D1 and C1, however, I don't want anything to appear in Column E.
Is there a way to hide the formula once I have built it for the all of Column E? The reason I need this to happen is because I can't have any zeros popping up in Column E, because I am calculating a running average of Column E and "zero" values would throw off my average.
I need the Row values to change, not the "array formula parts" (because I don't know what they really are called). So, as I copy down I need the new formula to read:
I have a spreadsheet with data in a1:p100 and i'm trying to find a macro that anytime the cell contents change in either column B or Column F it copies the entire row to another tab in the spreadsheet.
So I have the code that allows me to search for the a certain value in a cell and then copies a certain cell to the other spread sheets. Here is the code that does that
Code:
Sub SearchMacro() Dim LR As Long, i As Long With Sheets("Sheet1")
[Code].....
The code will just need to search for the string "HSFL" and I won't have to hard code all the different variations of HSFL as I mentioned above.
I am looking to run two separate macros. I have a project plan and I am looking to be able to select a button whereby on-click, a new row is created within a selected cell. However if the cell clicked is outside of a pre-determined range, then the task is automatically entered at the bottom of the plan. I would like for the copied row to go ABOVE the selected cell and have all of the same formatting as the row below (not the top - as is default in Excel).
The second is going to be very similar but will copy a task category (like a header item) and the first task (row) found below. It will also be copied from below and be inserted above the selected cell.Both macros will clear certain cells, whilst maintaining the contents of others, with formula contained. I.E. Columns C,D,E,H,I,J will be cleared.
I want to copy the current region on sheet 3 and paste that into sheet2 starting with cell E4. But I don't want to actually use the copy method. I believe there is a way to do this. I was thinking the following:
[Code] ......
The idea I had was to simply state that cell E4 would be assigned the value of CurrentRegion on sheet 3. Is there a way to bypass the copy method?
I have a check box on a worksheet that when checked calls for a timer code from a module. This works fine however what I am finding is that the code in the module is applying the result all the sheets in the workbook not just the sheet where I have activated the check box. I am a novice at VBA and no doubt there will be a simple solution. How do I limit this to my active sheet. This is the code in the module
Code: Public Sub Watch1() If Sheet2.CheckBox1 = True Then Range("AH2") = Range("AH2") + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1)
I want to do a loop where you can copy say A3 worksheet 1 then add another sheet naming the work sheet "A3" then copying A3 worksheet 1 to A1 "A3". After that looping to A4 to a new work sheet naming the work sheet "A4"copying the value to A1 "A4", etc...
Is there a simply way of doing this loop? I can probably fit my other coding into the structure.
I have a sheet that I want to have a double line border around the outside. Thats easy if there were a set number of rows but in my sheet the number of rows will depend on the size of the rows because of the different amount of information in each cell. So how do I make it print a border around the entire sheet no matter how many rows are in the sheet??
I'm having a column called "Body". Each cell in this column contains a huge amount of text. I want to select automatically certain values from that text and copy them into other cells. This image will explain what i mean:
I tried to work with the function MID but that doesn't work because the values don't have a fixed position. They don't start always at the same character number.
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.
I 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.
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.
I have workbook that has several sheets within the workbook that are set up identical. Each of the sheets in the workbook are for a specific company.
As of right now I have been adding a sheet to the workbook that is an overview for what is in each sheet (the individual companies). Currently I am doing the formatting of the heading and column names manually and I pull the data from each sheet with a VLookup. I have been trying to enhance my VBA skills with coding something that will fill in the appropriate cells from worksheet to worksheet.
What I am trying to do is to populate an overview sheet with cells C24, C25, and B36 being static on each row per sheet. Then each row will be populated with cells C(36, 59, 70, 81), D(36, 59, 70, 81), F(36, 59, 70, 81), G, and H(36, 59, 70, 81). The overview sheet will have the diagram below in a ru
I am copying a large sheet into a spread sheet. The problem is one of the columns contain numbers with some cells having an asterisk at the end of the number. This causes problems with the formulas on other sheets that use this data. Can I use a formula or what is the best way to eliminate the "*".
I'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.
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:
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 have a userform which clones the latest sheet and produces copy of it on the next sheet. The first sheet they will be cloning is the sheet called 'template', I however want this to be hidden since I do not want anybody to modify a sheet which basically serves purpose of a template. And once cloned, it is no longer needed.
On the click of the command button, the macro will create sheet1 taking the info from sheet named 'Template' in the same workbook . And now on the next click of the command button, Sheet 2 is created taking the info from sheet1 and Sheet 3 is created taking the info from Sheet 2 and so on. Here is what I currently have, so how can i modify it in order for my scnerio to work?
I have a couple of spreadsheets that requires me to copy data from Sheet 1 that matches certain criteria to Sheet 2.
I have tried using posted VB codes that have been written for other people but they dont seem to work (this is probably to do with me not actually knowing what I am doing, as I am not sure what I should be replacing and what I need to be deleting etc out of the pre-written code )
I need to be able to search on column e in Sheet 1 for anything that has just h written in the cell and then copy all the rows that match into Sheet 2. I also would like to ensure that when it is copied it doesnt go in row 2 but maybe 4 or 5 as I have quite allot of headings.
I have a sheet (1) of data, a1: e200. In another sheet (2) I want to search for values ​​in column B in sheet (1). I want to import the entire row where the value is. The imported row should always go to ex a10:e10 in sheet(2). Because, in sheet (3) I have this letter who gets data from sheet (2) row a10:d10.
How to do this? I can't get it done without copy/paste.,.
I have a list of projects in several rows and at the column "K" is the status of the project, according to the status of the projects if the status is completed I want cut this entire rows and paste to another sheet calls Projects_Completed by using a macro
