I'm working in Excel 2003. Is there a way to convert strings to Ranges on the Excel commandline?
I have a lookup function in an estimate sheet that uses 2 ranges, stored as strings, in another worksheet. They are used to return a price from another workbook. When I use named ranges to access them with the lookup function, it doesn't work. But when I cut and paste the strings into the commandline it works prefectly?
$A10 = Part Number to search for
MaterialOptions is a named Range eg: '[Catalog.xls]PriceList'!$A$13:$A$17
PriceOptions is a named Range eg: '[Catalog.xls]PriceList'!$Z$13:$Z$17
I would like to have a UDF to convert any text string to an abbreviation. For example, "Del Puerto Creek at HWY" would be converted to DPCAH. Or "this text string" would be converted to TTS. This has to work on any string of any length in any cell. I guess the UDF would pass each character through a loop and extract the letter immediately after a space and capitalize the letter if it is not already in uppercase. The UDF would have to have the ability to drag using relative references. For example: =AbbrevTxt(A1). It does not matter what the UDF is named.
I have a spreadsheet with reference relating to dates that are listed as single days. I am trying to convert the single dates relating to a reference to a from and to date but i'm having problems.
My database has 6 fields names and I have created the following code to capture and post data to the database form a userform. It works but I am sure there is a more efficient and elegant way to do this. The two areas I would like advice are: 1. converting the date string to a date. 2. the line of code where I subtract line6 from line4.
The following function reads many worksheets in one workbook and put the information into one worksheet. F22 to Q22 is dates in the format of mmm-yy on the many worksheets. On the one worksheet B1, C1, D1, etc... is dates also formatted mmm-yy. Now the many sheets only have a 12 month period but could be any date within 60 months. In the many worksheets the beginning date in F22 is based on the date that is entered into G8 of the many worksheets. The function is:
Code: Function HrsByMonth(strField As String, MonthNum As Integer) As Long Dim sht As Worksheet, i As Long, j As Integer HrsByMonth = 0
I've got an odd program that exports time data formatted as a text string. For example....
0:10:25
Since it has no numerical value, then I can't simply "format as number". I'm thinking that I will need to use one of the string methods eg: mid() to check each character individually and then convert that into the equivalent numerical value.
So the numerical output I am looking for in the above example would be 625.
How can any string valid for the name of a workbook be converted to a string correctly recognized by Application.Run? Sometimes a string is not really recognized as a string. See for example: .....
I got a list of counties in Texas, but the list is in mixed case and always has a " County" after each one. I got it converting to upper case, and have tried removing the " County" but no luck. Below is the code I have:
Code: Sub TEXAS() For a = 1 To 254 R = "D" & a i = "a" & a ActiveSheet.Range(R) = UCase(ActiveSheet.Range(i)) Next a End Sub
I have written some VBA to the best of my ability but it seems clumsy using the FORMAT function. Is there a better of doing this with VBA. I can't seem to find a function in VBA which is the equivalent of the formula function DATE.
Code: Sub ConvertTextToBritStyleDate() ' dd/mm/yyyy (not mm/dd/yyyy) ' Select the cells containing the dates (not the header)
If Worksheets("RawData"). Cells(1, nColumn).Value = Worksheets("RawData").Cells(12, 16).Value Then ..do code (I know the cell location of interest at this point) End If
Then I End up needing To Do something Like the following ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = _ Worksheets("RawData").Range("L1:N1")
“L1:N1” above is a sample. Given the code above it I have the cell location in question but it is in the format such as .Cells(12,16). That doesn’t do me much good when range wants something like “L1”. I don’t know how to convert that (12,16) to a L16 for example.
My searches have not produced anything that I could apply to this situation.
I'm trying to write VBA that would:
1. Search a Workbook for Dynamic Ranges.
2. When a Dynamic Range is found the code would:
A. Determine the current coordinates for the range. B. Change the "Refers To" value From "=OFFSET...." To "=Worksheet_Name $Column$Row:$Column$Row"
3. Save Changes.
4. Close File.
My apologies but I have very little experience in writing VBA. I understand about variables, arguments, and IF/THEN but just enough to use functions within Excel.
I have a spread sheet with a date colume that reads: 2012-06-27-19 I need to have this read like 06/27/2012 but nothing I do is working I have tried to go to the formatting process and backing the hr:mm out and that doesn't work. I really don't want to go line by line to manually correct this issue.. HENCE ... over 2000 lines
Second question: If I have a column that reads 02/15/2012 and another column that reads 3/27/2012 how to a format a 3rd column to make it read total number of days between 1st date and 2nd date?
I have a large database from a central appraisal district. In the database the city is stored as a numerical value. The problem is I need to convert the numerical value for the city to a text string with the actual city name. For example the values to the attached example database are as follow:
The issue is, I need to convert this column of numbers into the string of the actual city name. Is there some type of command, or macro that I could use to automate this process? Attached is a small example copy of the database.
I want to have a user-defined function where the user sends a range (i.e. "A1:J1") and each cell is viewed as a member of an array. I can do this if the user sends "A1,B1,C1,D1,E1,F1,G1,H1,I1,J1", but this is very cumbersome. I tried the following code:
Code:
Public Function CreateDenom(DenomValues As Range) As Variant Dim tmpArr() As Variant Dim c As Range For Each c In DenomValues tmpArr(c) = c.Value Next c CreateDenom = UBound(tmpArr) End Function
This won't be the end product of course, but it's a starting point if I can get it to work. However, I get an error stating that "A value used in the formula is of the wrong data type."
I am relatively new to VBA and am trying to convert a range of data to a table in the same sheet. I receive the following message when I try to run the code as shown below:
"The worksheet for the table data must be the same sheet as the table being created." The code stops on the third line of the code.
I'm working with a very complex financial workbook with over 3,000 named ranges and would like code to replace the named ranges with the cell references and display it in a message box so the user can easily trace the references without removing the named ranges from the formula. There is a lot of code with the named ranges, so actually converting them to cell references is out of the question.
I found this code, but obviously it physically replaces the range names in the cell. Hopefully it can be converted to display it in a text box.
Code: Sub FixReferencesToCellNames() Dim c As Range, n As Name For Each c In Range("A1:IV65536").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas)
[Code]....
What I am looking for is that a user select a cell that they want to see the references, run the code to see the cell references for that particular cell in a message box.
