Conditioally Insert Characters To Beginning Of Cell
Feb 8, 2006
I have a column of Supplier IDs. Maximum number of characters is 9. If the supplier ID is not 9 characters long, it should have 0's placed in the front so that there are 9 characters. For example, Supplier ID is 487695. It should look like 000487695. I can get Excel to format the cells correctly by using the custom format. However, when I import into Access, it trims the 0's away even though the field is identified as text because the custom format does not actually change the "value" of the cell. It merely formats the cells.
How can I get this column to correctly import into Access from Excel?

Example below of the data I have. I need to convert dates into DD.MM.YY (8 chars) for SAP. I receive spreadsheets where the date is dd/mm/yy and I use the replace to convert the "/" to ".", then format this column as TEXT. My problem is some of these sheets have hundreds of records and rather than individually scroll through and look for data that requires the "0", is there a way to insert this. I can custom format that it looks as it has the zero, but it is not in the true data.
1.10.12 data should be 01.10.12
11.10.12 this is correct
3.11.12 data should be 03.11.12
3.06.12 data should be 03.06.12 etc

I need to make the active cell go to the beginning of the row (Column A). I tried setting up a variable to be the row.value, but that didn't work (the way I wrote it, which doesn't surprise me).

In any cell of a worksheet, the user can input a number followed by either a plus or minus sign. After the - or + key is pressed, the cell has to move the plus or minus to the front of the number, then move down one cell. So input in cell A2 would be 125+, that needs converted to +125 and then moved down to cell A3.

I've got a long list of account numbers of varying length and ultimately need to add a dash and a dot into these numbers. Here's an example
12345678 to> 1-2345.678
123456789 to> 12-3456.789
1234567890 to> 123-4567.890
The standard format is always 3 numbers after the . and 4 numbers between the - and .
I can get to this by doing a series of functions starting with this:
=LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-3)&"."&RIGHT(A1,3) to get 12345.678 or 123456.789
copy/pasting that value into another field and then doing this
=LEFT(E1,LEN(E1)-8)&"-"&RIGHT(E1,8) to get the results above
I can't quite figure out the format to combine the multiple steps/functions into one so that I'm not copy/pasting values and re-doing the function.

I'm trying to create a lookup formula where it matches the beginning of words and returns the value of a cell I choose. This is my layout. In Workbook1 in column E I have a list of medicine names which i'm putting in from personal medical lists. These names are not "complete", i.e. they aren't the exact names of the medicines. In workbook 2, I have a sheet with the exact names and corresponding codes of the medicines. I want to return the code of the medicine. The beginning of the names of the medicines are the same, so I want to lookup the the X first letters of the medicines I write in manually (Workbook1 column E) and find it in Workbook 2 column B and return value of Workbook2 column A for that medicine (on the same row).

I have a workbook with a bunch of sheets and I am interested in the sheets that begin with the letter "P". Each of these sheets is named "P###" with #s ranging from 0-9 and not consecutively.
On each of these sheets, the various formulas link to the cell O37. I would like to replace the value in cell O37 with the name of the sheet "P###" for all sheets that begin with P.

In column A, I have many entries such as AA-1, AA-2, BB-1, BB-2, AA-3, etc.
How do you count the number of entries for only those beginning with "AA" or beginning with "BB"?

So we have people's names in a table. First name in one column and last name in another column. We have a 3rd column where we can use 8 characters to do a combination of First 5 of Last Name + first 3 of first name. However, if someone's last name is only 3 or 4 characters, we'd then want to take more from the first name to fill out the 8 characters.
So:
Charles Johnson -> Johnscha
John Smith -> Smithjoh
Willian Wu -> Wuwillia
What's the best way to do that without creating some crazy formula with tons of if/thens?

I have the following macro........
Dim i
If ActiveSheet.Index = Sheets.Count Then Exit Sub
For i = ActiveSheet.Index + 1 To Sheets.Count
If Sheets(i).Visible = xlSheetVisible Then
Sheets(i).Select
Exit For
End If
Next
This macro starts at which ever sheet I am on and goes from front to end say 1 to 16.....my question is how do reverse the code to go to the next unhidden sheet from 16 to 1 ?

and right at the end of the row: {/color}
so that
excel
becomes

I tried to do this with the formula:
"{color=blue}"&A1&"{/color}"
which yields nothing.

I have a column which contains a series of alphanumeric characters some start with the alpha characters and others end with them.
As an example ABS1234, 1234ABS, 12k34AB needs to be ABS1234, ABS1234, AB12k34. The number of alpha characters at the end will be a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3. Is there some way that I can move the Alpha characters, at the end, so that they are always at the beginning of the string?

I am trying to create a list of customer credits for my store. I have the person's name, the date of their credit, and the amount of the credit. This list will eventually be substantial and I would like to know how I can set it up so that when I open the worksheet I can enter new names from the top of the list and have the rest of the list shift downwards. This would stop me from having to scroll to the very bottom to add new info every time.
I would like to have it set up this way so that eventually I could put a search query at the top of the page (i'm thinking of rigging something up using vlookup) so that when my employees want to access the data base they can easily search a name and have the relevant info brought up, or can easily type in new store credits.

I have a simple code that should insert the text at the beginning of the text file (the text file already has some text in it). When i use the following code, it just appends the line to the end of the text. I need it to append it to the start of the text file.
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim file As String
lastrow = Range("D65536").End(xlUp).Row - 4
file = "C:Users11126923Desktop est.txt"
Open file For Append As #1
f = "hi test3"

In VBA, does anyone know how I can find the beginning and end of a named range?
eg: Range "CellsToTotal" is A1:A10, if I know only the name of the range, can I retrieve both A1 and A10 values?
What I have done is named a range on the fly as so (where vStartCellCoordinates and vEndCellCoordinates are both variables holding 2 ints):
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="CellsToTotal", RefersTo:="=" & Cells(vStartCellCoordinates(1), vEndCellCoordinates(2)).Address
What i'd like to do is then set a third arbitrary cell to sum up the range as a formula (note the following is a wierd adapted pseudocode thing):
Cells(iRow, iCol).Value = "=sum(" & start(Range("CellsToTotal").Address(0, 0) & ":" & end(Range("CellsToTotal").Address(0, 0) & ")"
How can I make this work?

When I run the following code, if "If exists = True" then I want the routine to start again at the very beginning. Currently, 'as is' it re-starts at the beginning but enters a loop on itself; I understand why this is but it's not what I want but can't get round this! How do I make the "If exists = True" condition (if true) restart the routine - ie call AllNEWActions() without then going into a loop on itself? NB: I can't use "Exit Sub" (see it commented out) as I don't want to exit routine, just restart it.
Sub AllNEWActions()
ShowCalendar
GetDateFromCalendar
SheetAlreadyExists
If exists = True Then
boolRestart = True
AllNEWActions
' Exit Sub
Else
MsgBox (" Date selected/new sheet doesn't exist")
InsertNewSheet
End If
If boolRestart = False Then
ShowCalendar
GetDateFromCalendar
End If
MsgBox ("Do something ...)
End Sub

Having difficulty with a VLOOKUP that uses a text lookup field beginning with 0. For all the other numbers formatted as text I use this function:
[Code].....
For the one that begins with a 0 I have to use this function:
[Code] .....
This is a problem for me, because I need to be able to copy the top function to all of my sheets without having to edit the ones where the lookup field begins with 0. I could alter my VBA to specifically search for those cases and adjust, but that seems unneccesary.
More info - The beginning column of the Table Array (i.e. the lookup field I'm searching for) is a function of another cell; both cells are formatted as text. Here is the function:
[Code] ....
I have to put a single quote in front of the lookup field, so that "064" is not displayed as "64" even if the cell is formatted as text. I have another instance where I am looking up "'791" and it works fine with the first VLOOKUP above. Even if I remove the single quote this will work. However, once there is a leading zero the function no longer works and I must use the second VLOOKUP listed above.
