Concatenate And Format Variable Amout Of Data
Dec 15, 2006
I have two sheets of data, exported by a program. The first sheet uses a single row for information of each log entry. The second page will have 1 to X rows for information of each log.
What I am would like to do is combine that data into one cell, and place it in the corresponding row on the first page. This will be used in a mail merge, and I would need commas and an "and" between the data points, where appropriate for proper English. I know how to get the data together, but am having issues trying to get the correct grammar within the cell.
Willing to use either VBA or other formulas.

I have a simple task and I use the concatenate formula to resolve alot of keystrokes. I now have an issue where I have to edit that formula because of a additional character for the string won't upload into a database. Here's my example:
1. Cell A1= 12345xxxx Cell B1= 67 Cell C1= 8
I use =CONCATENATE(A1,"-000"&B1,"-000"&C1) and my result is displayed in D1= 12345xxxx-00067-0008
Easy enough! Now adding the following is the problem:
1. Cell A2= 12345 Cell B2= 67 Cell C2= 89
I use =CONCATENATE(A2,"-000"&B2,"-000"&C2) and my result is displayed in D2= 12345xxxx-00067-00089
Now D2 has one too many characters from C2
I modify the formula by reducing to "-000"&C2 to be "-00"&C2 manually but now the line items have quadrupled and manually isn't going to work for this being so time consuming.
Is there a way to use a variable with the concatenate or am I using the wrong formula period ??

I have a problem with a worksheet that my company accounting system exports every month.
Attached : sample of the worksheet.
In column ( F ) , I need a macro to do the following calculations:
1- Check for the Title - if it begins with "Cost Center"
2- Check for the Title - if it begins with "Account Code"
3- Detect the Range Start just below "Account Code" , and End with the row above "Total"
4- Concatenate the string written in each row of the range with the string in "Cost Center"
The Story is:
Each Month I've this worksheet with hundreds of Cost Centers and subsidiary Account Codes, And to be able to analyze the accounts efficiently I need to concatenate both Cost Centers & Account Codes manually ( as you see coloring sample in the attached file ). Which led to wasting many hours , and high risk of error while copying and pasting formulas.

Following advice from this forum I have developed the following code to save a workbook with a filename made up from Ranges within a worksheet. What I had also hoped to do was include the first 2 letters of a Range.
The code that works is as follows

I have two columns - A and B. In column A there are blank cells and filled cells. There is a blank cell and after it - a variable number of filled cells, then a blank cell again and a variable number of filled cells. I am trying to concatenate the filled cells from column A into a single cell in column B, which is corresponding to the blank cell in column A. Values should be comma delimited.
For example: A2-blank; A3-27; A4-63; A5-blank; A6-31; A7-blank .. and in column B should be B2-27,63; B3-blank;B4-blank; B5-31,B6-blanc and etc.

I want to do a concatenate for multiple fields, but want the user to specify which cells should be concatenated by entering this in a few fields. What does this formula (or VBA) look like?
Let's assume there is the possibility to concatenate a maximum of 4 cells. Call the 3 cells that will be concatenated cell1, cell2, cell3 and cell4.
On the first sheet of the workbook the user enters the following:
cell1 = Sheet2!A4
cell2 = Sheet2!B4
cell3 = Sheet2!C4
cell4 = Sheet2!D4
Here are some cells and their values:
Sheet2!A4 = Hel
Sheet2!B4 = lo
Sheet2!C4 = World
Sheet2!D4 =
Upon enterring the information after the = sign for the cell1, cell2 and cell3, the formula for the concatenate becomes: =CONCATENATE(Sheet2!A4, Sheet2!B4,Sheet2!C4 ).
The result of the formula is: HelloWorld
If I now change the values of cell1, cell2, cell3, and cell4 the following should happen:
cell1 = Sheet2!B4
cell2 = Sheet2!C4
cell3 =
cell4 =
The formula for the concatenate becomes: =CONCATENATE(Sheet2!B4, Sheet2!C4).
The result of the formula is: loWorld

I need to write a line of code which puts the following into a cell:
=+C4 & " - " & 1
The cell reference at the beginning will always be C4, however the "1" at the end will be variable named "GroupNo"
So my code will be something like:
Range("B46").Value = "=+$C$4 & " & "" - "" & "GroupNo"
This isn't working. I've tried every variation of what it should be but I keep getting errors like "type mismatch" or just the wrong thing being put in the cell.

Is there a way to change the format of a value stored in a variable without inputing it onto a worksheet first? (i.e. if I have a number stored in a variable, and I want to format it to have commas and dollar signs)

Cell C9: 1.25773
Cell C10: 20.0
Cell C11: 2.25%
Cell C15: =C9+((C10*C11)/10000)
C9 is a user entered value, currently formated general
C10 is a user entered value, currently formated decimal with one decimal
C11 is a user entered percentage, currently formated percent with two decimals
C15 is a formula calculation, currently formated general
I've tried formating cells to general (and/or) text and the values appear to be correct but still don't show what I want.
The most popular entries for C9 will be:
123.12
123.123
1.1234
1.12345
Any of the above could have one or more trailing zeros.
I would like C15 to show the same amount of decimal places that the user enters in C9. If user enters one, two, three, four, five, etc...decimal places in C9 then show the same amount of decimal places in C15 after the calculation is done and include any trailing 0's that are needed to match the number of decimals in C9.
I've tried different If statements with custom format to try to get the format of C9 transfered to C15 but haven't come across the right way to do this.

I have two cells. Cell A1 contains ‘The date is ’ cell B1 is formatted in the date format, 2007-01-24. I need to concatenate these two cells so that on cell C1 I have ‘The date is 2007-01-24’ but whatever I try excel keeps on changing the date to a text value and hence I am left with: ‘The date is ‘This is the date'39141 or this is the date 39141. how to get to the result that I am after?

I am entering values in columns AV and BD of the attached spreadsheet. Rather than manually editing each value to adopt the decimal place value of the adjacent cell is there a formula that can achieve this before the value is entered? The decimal place values are determined using a VLOOKUP table (column3) on the NES tab.

Is it possible to store format of a sheet in a variable?
I have one sheet. i want to select all cell. then copy the formatting of this sheet(template) in a variable. is that possible? does variable need to be a clipboard? if it is in clipboard how to reference it? i.e if i have two or three formats stored in a clipboard how to select and paste the second one?
once i store this in a variable, i will paste in new sheets(about 50 of them) so that all these new sheets have same format as the template.
what is the easiest to do that?

I am still a novice in you standards, but have run into a problem and hoping you all will have some insight for me.
I have a workbook that I am parsing data from the first sheet and putting the data onto the second sheet. Before I place the values in I want to format the cells with boarders, colors, alignment, and in some cases validation (but I can worry about the validation later).
Currently what I am doing is using a 3rd page that has a group of cells that have the formats I want in place before I start. The code will then parse the data and when it finds the data I need go to sheet 3 and grab a range of cells and paste those cells to sheet 2 and then write the data over those cells. This allows me to format the document as I create it.
The problem is that I am going through 25k of lines and on average this function is running 40+ minutes. If I run the same script with out the formatting it only takes at most 2 minutes.
So on to the question.
Is there a way that I can start of my script by grabbing all the format information before I parse the data and save it as a variable? Then instead of doing a copy of the format it would just apply the formatting that is saved already. I would think this would be much faster of a process.

I'll get straight to the point:
where ( Date > 9/20/2007)
The above Date si used in a sql select statement where I'm hard coding the date (9/20/2007). This date is actually located in sheet1, cell E1. How can I get it from that cell and use it in my Select statement instead of entering the date manually every day in my code?

The code below is for a macro that allows the user to create a list of contacts. The column containing the names of these contacts are then referenced by a userform (code not present) by way of a Named Range. I want to update the named range whenever the user adds another contact so this new contact shows up in the user form.
I am currently referencing the range containing the names using R1C1 style, but I cannot get the variable aspect to work correctly.

I need to format some climatic data from a weather station into a desired format. There are a lot of cut&paste and transposing involved. I think it will be easy but tedious for anyone trained in VB to write a macro but unfortunately I am not. I've tried recording a macro but it turns out that it is not general enough to deal with all the spreadsheets that I've got.
I've attached a spreadsheet which shows the original format (in sheet 1) and the desired format (in sheet 2). To briefly describe, I only need the temperature data for 8am and 2pm, the rest of the information in sheet 1 is useless to me.

I think I just need a basic Nested For Loop code. I have a list of in column A, from A1:A537 and another list in column B, for B1:B50. I want to add a column that concatenates, each item in Column A to B1 (so 537 rows), then again each item in Column A to B2, another 537 rows, etc.. this loop is repeated 50 times, one for each name in column B.

I am attempting to use concatenate to combine two cells of data, but to only display the information if both cells contain information.
Currently using the following simple formula:
=concatenate(a1,a2)
However, I only want it to work if both a1 and a2 cells contain data. If only a1 contains information, but a2 is blank, I want it to calculate a blank cell.
