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.
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.
I have a date range that looks like this (British date style, not US):
edit: I posted an image but it can't be seen for some reason:
Date Range
2010 11/10 17/10
2010 11/10 17/10
2010 11/10 17/10
2010 11/10 17/10
Thus the first cell show 11 October 2010 to 17 October 2010 I want to return just the first day (the week commencing date):
edit: I posted an image but it can't be seen for some reason:
Week Commencing
11/10/2010
11/10/2010
11/10/2010
11/10/2010
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)

I am trying to concatenate some string and integer. It is always for previous month end date, i.e, 7/31/2009 or 8/31/2009.
Here is I have the data now

After running the macro I would like to be
Profit and Loss for 8/31/2009
Here is what I wrote so far which does not work. I am sure there is simpler way to do it. I put the month end date 5 columns to the right for the time being and in the intention after deleting it after concatenation automatically.

I have a cell that gives a title and then a cell value:
="Design and Build "& if(B19>=0,B19,0)

I am trying to name a Range in VBA with the following Case statement.
Select Case counter
Case "2": Set Wk(numWeeks) = Range("P1:Q136")
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Wk" & numWeeks, RefersTo:=Wk(numWeeks)
I have many more cases and have defined Wk(5) as a Range. What I am really after it is possible to to name the range using something similar to the code above that uses a predefined variable in the naming process.
i did some VBA quite a while back, and picking it up again.
I'm trying to get a function to read in a string, and return a value based on the string value.

value = 50

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:
excel help forum 2.xlsx
024 = Hurst
026 = Fort Worth
025 = Euless
017 = Mansfield
013 = Keller
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 have these as input entered as text:
January 01, 2011 January 01, 2011 February 28, 2010 May 12, 2011 June 02, 2010 February 28, 2010 May 12, 2011 June 02, 2010 February 28, 2010
but I need it in this DATE format:
MM/DD/YYYY
I need it as a formula to be entered into a cell in excel (not VBA)
I'm on a time crunch and can't remember or seem to be able to find how to check if a value stored in a variable is a number or is text.
I want to be able to define QTY under the general public definition with no designation (i.e. integer, date, string...so on.)
The variable QTY could be anything and I grab some parsed data from a cell, if it is filled with a number I want to keep it, if not I want to delete it.
I know how to keep it or delete it, I just need to know how to check for integers...(check to see if it is a number from the keypad...I can still store it as text -- maybe integer isn't the best word).
I see you (whomever you is) fixed the "Deletked" in the message box...it is now Deleted. I can't give you a hard time about not following the rules now.

I'm trying to write a statement something like: B1 = data. B2=IF(B1/8=0,"",IF(B1/8=INTEGER,B1/8 & "8/8",B1/8+1)). This is meant to identify which relay on a relay board is associated with the given data. For example if data=3, B2 = 1 3/8 meaning the 3rd relay on board 1. If data = 77, B2 = 10 5/8 meaning the 5th relay on board 10. I could do without the 10, but the 5th relay on that board is important to me. In summary, I think my trouble is identifying when the product of B1/8 is an integer. I may also be having trouble combining value and text. Well, there it is. I may very well be going about it all wrong.

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.

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
