Concatenate Variable (user Selected) Cells
Nov 14, 2007
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 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.

Sampling table :
one
two
three
four
one
two
three
one
two
one
Desired results obtained via IF =IF(B2>0,A2&" , ",A2)&IF(C2>0,B2&" , ",B2)&IF(D2>0,C2&" , ",C2)&IF(D2>0,D2,"")
one , two , three , four
one , two , three
one , two
one
Is there any smarter, shorter formula via Concatenate and Substitute or other formulas ?
My closest match, but not good enaugh is =SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATE(A2&", "&B2&", "&C2&", "&D2), ", , ", " ")
[ returna 2 commad ]
one, two, three, four
one, two, three,
one, two
one ,

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.

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 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.

I currently have a macro that takes a user selected name and date and creates a time sheet for the selected name. This works just fine, however i have to select each individual person and run the macro for each person, how to automate that part of the macro, so it will automatically create the said sheet for all person at once, rather than me doing it manually.
[Code] .....
The 'CurrentMonth' variable is user selected from a list, and will remain that way.

I have a form that asks at what row the user wants to start with a selected range then how many rows to select. There will always be 21 columns selected with this range. I am still learning but it has to do with something on how I am setting the Start object. It is not being recognized.
Dim Row As Long
Dim Selection As Long
Dim Start As Range
Row = txtStartRow
Selection = txtHowMany
Set Start = Range("A" & txtStartRow).Select
Range(Start & ActiveCell.Offset(Selection, 20)).Select

how you would write a macro to move a selection of sheets to a workbook called Digi's in the D drive. Also if there isn't a Workbook called Digi's already it needs to add one. I've found some code to loop through sheets but nothing to show what sheets the user has selected

I would like the user to select two files, the macro then inputs a formula that includes vlookup to the other sheet. However i am not sure how to reference each workbook.
Sub InsertLocationContents()
Dim rng As Range
Dim LastRow As Long
'OPEN CSV FILE WITH LOCATION CONTENTS
csvFN = Application. GetOpenFilename(Title:="Select Location Contents csv file")
If csvFN = False Then
' They pressed Cancel
MsgBox "Stopping because you did not select a file"
Exit Sub
Else
Workbooks.Open Filename:=csvFN
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _
csvFN, Origin:=437 _ .............................

I am using this code to hide or unhide rows of text on another sheet:
VB:
Sub ProcessSheet1ChangeOnCellJ7(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim sAddress As String
Dim sValue As String
'Get the address of the cell that changed without '$' signs
sAddress = Target.Address(False, False)
[Code]....
When the "Not Pursuing" list box option is selected (in cell "J7" or "J8" in Sheet 1) I need to add (or over-write) "Not Pursuing" to the range of cells in column "B" (in the "Tasks" sheet), but only for that particular Goal, meaning a limited range of cells in column "B". If the "Pursuing - Show All Tasks" option is selected for a Goal then these same cells need to be blank so that the appropriate person can enter their name into the cell.
The purpose for adding "Not Pursuing" automatically to these yellow highlighted cells is that it will facilitate filtering of tasks by individual in the "Tasks" sheet..
Again I have tried several times to upload a sample file and am unable to, which I know makes it more difficult to solve. (Is there some common mistake people make? I know it's an allowed format and is very small in file size....)
Code solution can be entered directly beneath:
VB:
If Target.Value = "Not Pursuing" Then
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Tasks").Rows("29:29").EntireRow.Hidden = False
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Tasks").Rows("30:48").EntireRow.Hidden = True

I am using this code to copy columns C,D, and P from a user selected workbook into position C,D,E of workbook "Checklist.xlsx" (the one from were I run the VBA code). I don't have a clue about VBA, just have been gathering info, but the code works pretty fine. The only issue is that it opens twice the workbook "wbExt" hence the system prompts me if i want to reopen the already open workbook.
Some questions:
1) Is there a way to copy the 3 columns at once? something like "Columns("C:D, P").Select".
2) Is there a way to select the workbook from were to copy the column without needing it to actually open?
3) is there a way to paste the columns starting from row 3 instead of row 1 (Range("C1").Select)?

On the first row of a spreadsheet template is a <hidden> contiguous series of conditionally formatted cells (range name "stdRow" =production!$1:$1), with formulas, that I want a user to be able to easily insert at whatever row they might be in a worksheet.
If, for example, the user is at D24, then clicks the [InsertRow] button that I have positioned at the top of the worksheet (in a fixed pane), I want the attached macro to insert an instance of "stdRow" directly underneath the user position (at row 25, in this case). The use's position should still be at D24 when the macro finishes. If the user clicks the button multiple times, multiple rows should be inserted (again, without changing the user's position).
This is what I have tried so far:

The User has made multiple selections with the mouse. The spreadsheet is filtered. The user will usually make different multiple selections on the following columns: A and X through to AR (inclusive).
I just need some code to capture these various multiple selected ranges so that I can copy the selected range as shown below:

I'm trying to create a macro that allows users to hide or unhide selected rows, either via toggle or userform. The macro I have looks like this, but for some reason it doesn't hide the rows:
Sub Hide_Range()
Dim UserRange As Range
DefaultRange = Selection.Address
Set UserRange = Application.InputBox _
(Prompt:="Select Range to Hide:", _
Title:="Hide Range", _
Default:=DefaultRange, _
Type:=8)
Rows.Select
Selection.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End Sub
what's wrong with my code and how I can further develop it to let the user decide whether to hide or unhide the selected rows?

I am trying to write this macro so that I can optimize 181 outputs based on 2 inputs (columns A and B are inputs). Each row has a single output at the end of the row that I am trying to minimize. I want to be able to select as many of the rows that I want and have the code optimize each individual row. So far I can't get it to let me use variable cell references for the "ByChange:="$A$3,$B$3"." This is the hang up that is not letting me increment the macro to the next row. The macro works currently for the single selected cell, but until I can vary the ByChange portion, I can't automate it.

Have a person Input an Assembly Number and,Have Excel return a list of Part Numbers, their Descriptions, and a Quantity for each Part Number that will need to be packaged with the Assembly Number that was Input.
The output needs to be in the form of a check sheet (I can play with the formatting if I can get the information out) for the one Assembly Number input.The output can either be in a separate spreadsheet or a User Form. The spreadsheet is easier for me to work with but the User Form looks cooler.
I can use a VBA Function to Input the Assembly Number but then I need some way of searching a small table (about 20x20 cells) to find the matching Assembly Number and then return the Part Numbers, etc. to a check sheet so the parts can be packaged. Each Assembly Number can have several Part Numbers associated with it. Either unique to that Assembly Number or common to other Assembly Numbers. The Quantities can also be unique or common. A couple of simple examples might be:
Assembly Number - ANA0134
P/N Description Qty.
ANA0118 Widget thing 2
ANB0554 Thing Widget 4
Assembly Number - ANA0431
P/N Description Qty.
ANA0118 Widget thing 3
ANB0554 Thing Widget 4
ANC0023 Plain Widget 1

I have created a work diary in Excel which is built up in half hour blocks. I am able to create my appointments (usually one or two hour blocks) by selecting a group of cells and running a macro which merges the cells, colours them and puts a border round them.
I now want to be able to delete individual appointments by selecting the appropriate appointment and running a macro to copy and paste from the same range of cells in another worksheet (which is effectively my blank master diary page).
I have tried work out what code I need to put the range of the current selection into a variable in VBA but I'm not having any luck.

I have a workbook that has three worksheets. The ASU Database sheet contains part numbers and descriptions including specific details that are selected from pull down data validation lists that are named on the third worksheet. I want to have a front end on the first worksheet that has similar data validation lists for the user to select from to create a search criteria that will create a worksheet with only the rows that meet this criteria. I am not sure what method to use to accomplish this.

I have a table in which I have a "patient" column and a "page" column. The macro searches for a patient's number, then looks if this patient has the page "900.--". A patient may have more than one page, which will result in many rows with the same patient number. So far, my macro uses the search function to find a patient number, then compares the cell next to the active cell to see if it contains the page "900.--". If not, then my macro searches for the next patient and so on until the page is found and noted into another workbook or none is found.
In order to stop the loop, I am trying to store the address of the first cell found into a variable "rFirstCell" so that it can later on be compared to another variable, "rSecondCell", which represent the active cell. When both are the same, it means all the available search results have been tested and the loop should stop.
Sub testing()
Dim rRng As Range, rFirstCell As Range, rSecondCell As Range
Set rRng = Worksheets("Overview").[a1]
Dim sDeath As String
sDeath = "death"
ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = False
If LCase(rRng(2, 15).Value) = "x" Then
If LCase(rRng(2, 9).Value) = sDeath Then
Workbooks("DM Endpoint pages_test.xls").Activate
Range("A1").Select...........................
