I have a series of worksheets that are formatted for data imported from various scripts.
What I want to do is parse through each worksheet and cell, when the cell has numeric data, I want to clear the cell.
I do not want to clear the cells on the following conditions:
Cell has Text
Cell has Formula
Cell has date, month or time
I am trying to write a macro in excel to clear all cells within a range that are non numeric. I seem to be going round in circles trying to find out how to do this.
I assume I have to use the IsNotNumeric(Target) argument but I can't find how to specify the target within a range.
I am trying to code a command button to clear a range of cells if any of them contain a numeric value. For example. If any cells of cell range A1:C10 contain a numeric value then they would be cleared. Not all the cells in the range but only thouse contaiing numeric values. I have tried various methods with not-so-good results.
View 9 Replies View Relatedi have data in worksheet 2, a table with formulas using worksheet 2 in worksheet 1, i need to move the data in worksheet 2 to another worksheet, but if i use cut or copy and paste the formulas do not track its movement, so how do i move the data to another worksheet so the formulas know where it went? i thought if you could select the data and drag the data straight into another worksheet but how?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIm trying to make life easier by setting up some sort of macro function that will clear the contents of all the cells except for the ones that have formulas in them.
I don't want to delete the 1st row as it contains the titles for each column.
Macro to clear cells with numbers but no cells with formulas with in this macro:
Dim i As Long
i = Range("E3")
If i > 0 Then
' Copy range
Range(Cells(6, 10 + i), Cells(500, 17)).Copy
Range(Cells(6, 10), Cells(500, 17)).Select
' Paste special
ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:=2, Link:=1, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False, IconFileName:=False
' Clear i columns on the right
Range(Cells(6, 18 - i), Cells(500, 17)).ClearContents
End If
End Sub
The range is where the cells with numbers need to be cleared but not the ones with formulas.
i need to refresh the sheet and clear all contents that are constants not as a result of formula.
i search the forum and got this code,
If ActiveCell.locked = False And Activecell.Value <> 0 Then
ActiveCell.Formula = "0"
End If
may i need to make use of loop to check whole sheet
I have a worksheet from which I regularly clear all contents by selecting all the rows and selecting 'Clear Contents' from the right button menu. However, I now have added a formula in Col Y that I want to protect. I know I could select all columns up thru X, but that would clear the R1 headers, so I want to avoid doing that. I can always work around, but I'm curious, is there a way to clear only values and thus protect the formulas when using the Clear Contents command?
is there a way to do this in VBA? I've also read: - Dave Hawley's recommendation of using: Sheet1.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).ClearContents
from another thread (which is excellent!)
- SHG's recommendation of using a named range, for example:
Range("Inputs").ClearContents
Given my limited knowledge of VBA, how would I now combine the two to write a VBA sub-routine that clears a named range entitled "Entry" on a sheet entitled "Data"? Would the following be the correct syntax: Worksheets("Data").Range("Entry").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).ClearContents
Is it possible to keep ending zeros in cells that are formatted for Text or General?
I have a column with numbers like the following: 264400
I need to format this number for three decimals so it will look like the following: 264.400
I need the column to be formatted for either Text or General. Currency breaks a system.
I am trying to rank a series of data. I have most of this figured out. However, the data that is being ranked is based on a sum of a range of cells. I have lines that are waiting for new information to be put in related to the values to be ranked and the value is reference a sum of blank cells currently since there is no data there and it is showing up as zero and therefore being ranked number 1 in my list. I basically want the ranking to rank the values 1-11 while putting all values that are zero to be put at the bottom of the ranking. Any way to do this without macros. I have been using the VLOOKUP and RANK functions for my ranking purposes.
I have tried using an if statement that made the cells #N/A if they were zero, however they remained at the top of my ranking.
I have a spreadsheet with a lot of financial information going down a column (about 500 rows down). Most of the cells are just typed in, but certain rows have sum formulas in them. Is it possible to copy values from another workbook, paste the values in, but somehow keep the formulas that are running through?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWith a macro i want to delete some lines in sheet1. In sheet2 however i have formulas that point on sheet1 .. like this
=sheet1!A1
=sheet1!A2
=sheet1!A3
Now when i delete line 2, the result would look like this
=sheet1!A1
#NV!
=sheet1!A2
Is there a way to make these formulas pointing at the same cells after line two is deleted? And i do not mean a work around, with different formulas. I just want the Formulas in sheet2 to remain unchanged, regardless of what happens in sheet1...
I need to copy a bunch of cells that contain formulas without altering the cell references. I know I could change each formula to contain absolute cell references, then copy and paste special with formulas, but this is alot of work, and following that I'd need to change the references back again from absolute to relative in both locations. So, is there a way to quickly copy and paste formulas in multiple cells without altering the cell references?

i have a worksheet which is a form which feeds into another worksheet which acts as a database. i have a button which clears the form based on code which is essentially "clear contents".
the problem is i have a few cells where i would like to retain the formulas. i tried to do this with custom in validation but this did not work. i also tried to enter the code directly into the worksheet but this didnt work either (my skills are limited..). i am avoiding using protect sheet bc that in turn will affect many of my other buttons. is there something i am overlooking?
I'm trying to find out exactly how I can use sum product on cells that have text and numeric values. Here's my sample data (6 points):
TN FX1576 20, TN FX1577 25, AZ FX1577 30, AZ FX1577 35, FW FX 1577 40, and FW 1577 45.
I wish to do the following: I want to sum all of the right numeric values based on the first two text values(TN, AZ, or FW). I want to sum these numbers to their respective total cells at the top of the page. So far I can sum the numeric values fine using the following formula: =sumproduct((right(range,2)*1) but when I try to differentiate between the respective locations (AZ, TN, or FW) I get an error message.
Attached is an example of what I'm trying to do along with the formula I'm currently using and yellow shading to represent where I want my respective sums to go.

I have a spreadsheet filled with formulas that depend on a value being entered into A2, A3, A4, etc... So column A starting at A2 is where I will manually input a number and the formulas I have in columns B, C, and D will import information from another sheet based off what is put in column A. In column D the formula I have to import data
is =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,Master!C:M,11,0),"").
This will import another number. Additionally in column D, I have conditional formatting that will return a red, yellow or green light based off the rule I have in place. Everything works fine, the only problem is that column D has a green light all the way down even without a value being placed in column A. I would like to find out a way to keep the cells in column D blank until a value is entered in column A. Also, if I go back and delete the value in column A, I would like the corresponding cell in column D to go back to blank as well.
I'm trying to generate an email out of my spreadsheet and use cell values to populate the email.
The issue I'm having is once of the cells (D17) has multiple lines in it, created by using Alt + Enter; and this formatting doesn't appear in the html body of the email.

I have a series of formulas in Row 1 across the columns in worksheet A. I would like to copy these formulas to a single column and down rows in worksheet B while retaining the references to worksheet A. I know that I can manually enter the references in worksheet B but that would take a long time to do.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have some code that goes through some data that is imported from a database via a query.
This has been working for a few years without a problem.
I lookup and employee number on my sheet to the employee number in the database table.
this is my code that checks the employee number.
Set rs = Worksheets("Employee")
If rs. Cells(r, 2) = cells(1,1) Then 'if employee number matches
......
The problem is that now the database application has adapted an alpha option (it used to be numeric only). In order for my code to work I have to change the employee number on my sheet by putting a ' in front of it.
Example if the number was 127 I need to enter '127 in the cells.
I have a few thousand in my data.
Can I add some code to my macro so I can still enter just the number in the cells?
I know different variations of this question get asked all the time... but I can't find an answer that I'm sure will *always* do what I want.
I have a range of cells (A1:A10), and I want to count all the text entries of positive length. That is to say, I don't want to count:
blanks
numbers
zeros
spaces
errors
I'm sure I need to use the LEN function, but I can't quite figure out how.
this counting expression will be inserted in a SUMPRODUCT formula
Is it possible to validate a string with both numbers and text with a formula using data validation? (I don't want to use a User Defined Function)
in Column C, Starting in cell C2 I have a 12 character string of six numbers, four letters, and two numbers. like this:
280838ZNOV11
is it possible to use a Custom Data Validation formula to ensure the user follows this format?
Here's my situation.
I will post a rudimentary example:
Account Name/Column A
Truman school, San Diego
Truman school, San Diego
Truman school, San francisco
Truman school, Atlanta
Truman school, Atlanta
In column B, I would like it to assign a unique numeric id based on the TEXT only.
So Truman school, San Diego gets a string of numbers: 1234
Truman school, san fran: 1235
Truman school, Atlanta: 1236
My spreadsheet is about 6,000 records with a great deal of the above situation going on. So school names are identical with different locations assigned. I am trying to import to a database and don't want a lot of duplicate records. That's why I'm trying to assign a numeric value.
I was using SUMIFS on a large amount of data, but wasn't getting back the exact sum that I needed.
It turns out that I had cells with values similar to the following
Code:
000123
0123
Basically, text fields with the same numerical values, except for the number of leading zeros. Due to the nature of the table, the number of leading zeros is important.When I did SUMIFS, it counted the sum of the two values together. For example with the following:
Item
Batch
Qty
ABC
123
1
It appears that even if a numeric value is stored as text, SUMIFS treats it like a number.
some times we use numeric symbols with formulas such as subtotal(109,a1:a100)
109 here meaning the visible cells only. well, Iwant to know if other numeric symbols also used in formulas !
I have an month input in cells B2 (user can enter values from 1-5)
I then have a data table that has month 1,2,3,4,5 running across range G9:K9. the data is held in range G10:K19.
So if user types in 4 in B2, what should happen is that months 1,2,3 and 4 the data for these months should be cleared and data in month 5 moves forward into month 1.
So basically, anything left of the month entered is B2 should be cleared and replaced with anything right of the month in B2.

Is there a function within Excel, that allows you to search for any relevant cells that have a hardcoded amount within a formula, ie. adding, subtracting, dividing or multiplying a harcoded number. eg. cell B2 + cell B3 + 5 and then identifying that cell because it has a +5 (however, being able to identify any hardcoded number anywhere from -9,999,999,999 to 9,999,999,999)
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn Column C, I have a variable range (usually like, C5:C100000) that has data validation in it. However, only about 10% of the cells have a value from that data validation list in them (which is what I want). I'd like to write a macro that only cleared out the cells with no value in them, so that they no longer had any data validation in them. Is this possible?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have several cells on a worksheet which contain data validation and force the user to select from a list, and several other cells with free user input. I want to use a macro to clear all data, and return the cells containing data validation to blank. (I have a blnak row at the top of all my lists, so there is a selection for "blank".)
I have no problem clearing the cells requiring user input, but my recorded macro would not select the cells with validation and return them to blank.
The first cell containing validation that I need to clear is M39. I have my code listed below for clearing the other cells. If I could get a clue on how to return M39 to blank, I could figure out the rest of the cells.
