I was wondering if it was possible to do something like this:
x = 15
test = "x"
MsgBox (test)
with the message box saying "15" instead of "x". I guess more specifically what I want is:
x = 15
test = Range("A5").Value 'Range("A5").value = "x + 2"
MsgBox (test) 'I want "17" to be outputted
Is this possible? Somehow convert the string test into an integer and read the variable?
I'm currently trying to copy a dynamic range based on the row number of a selected listbox item. I'm able to get the row number of the selected listbox item from the data tab in my file. I, however, am stuck when it comes to copying a fixed column / varying row range from this tab and copying it over to another tab.

I have a problem in converting text to columns for a string that has 1000+ entry's. Excel bumps me out after 851 using the Split function.
The data I can only download in a text format has >1000 fields that are seperated by ",". Not a problem so far but when I attempt to convert to columns there is a maximum limitation of 851.
Data1,Data2,Data3,Data4...................Data1000,Data1001,Data1002 etc...

I need to be able to locate a date in a spreadsheet bassed uppon a user input date. I am looking for the week that contains the user's date. However it seems even if I initialize the value as Date, it still reads the user's input as a string.
Is there an easy way make sure the system automaticaly recognizes the user's input as a date, or is there a way to quicly convert the string to a date?
I have a spreadsheet that has 3 different dates in 3 different cells:
B4 - 3/24/2014
B5 - 4/6/2014
B6 - 4/14/2014
From that information I need once cell to display "Mar 24 - Apr 6 paid Apr 14"
Reason being is that I am importing journal entries into an accounting program and I am allowed one cell each row for the description. This would let me change the dates only and my descriptions will fill out before import. It is important that the months are abbreviated to 3 letters as I am limited on how many characters the description can be.
I have a function that will be used across 10K+ records at a time, so I was taking a look at optimizing it a bit. At the start of the routing I have a string with a 9 to 15 digit numeric value in it. I wanted to load each individual digit into a byte array. I started out using:
byVal = StrConv(sVal,vbFromUnicode)
But that actually loads the ASCII Character codes into the array not the digits themselves. From there I considered looping through the array applying CByte(Chr$(byVal(i))) but then I wondered if it would make more sense to just load the array with Mid$(sVal,i,1)... Does anyone have tested knowledge on which performs better? Is there an option C I have missed?
I have hit an issue when tranfering a string date from VBA to excel, excel thinks the string is US format and swaps around the days and months even though the system and excel are setup for UK date format:
Simple example of the problem:
Sub test()
Dim testy As String
testy = Now
'testy will equal 04/10/2007 17:20
Range("A1").Value = testy
'A1 will equal 10/04/2007 17:20
End Sub
Now I know in this example that if I used DateValue(testy) it would work, but our situation is a bit more complex as we are running this is a loop testy is not always a date.
I have an ACD program that gives me a time in "mm:ss" format, or in ":ss" fomat. I have 2-3 problems with charting this data.
1 I am inheriting the production of charts from someone else, with old data being displayed by seconds only I am supposed to keep this display.
2 the data that is in mm:ss format is recognized as being in full date format, for example 2:14 is recognized as 2:14:00 AM instead of 2 minutes, 14 seconds.
3 the data that is in :ss, ie :44, is recognized as a string.
Any thoughts on how I can convert both cases to a integer seconds? I know for example that I could mid() the second condition, but I am stuck thinking about the first condition.
I can't adjust the way the time comes in, unfortunately. It is an auto-generated export of the data from a switch.
I have a userform that reads in a list of names into a combobox. When you choose a name from the combobox it then shows the that persons details from a sheet containing all the names.
I have some text boxes that allows the data to be modified and returns it to the sheet which works fine. What i also want it to do it put the data from the form into a sheet for that individual. For example the name of Ford would go into the Ford worksheet.
How do i read in the value from the combobox on the worksheet and use it as a variable to use in my code. For example
Sheets(Value from the combobox).Cells(NoOfRows, 3).Value = Me.TextBoxChangePosistion.Value
*NoOfROws is the variable to find a blank row
My question is about converting a Literal String to Character Code. I'm using the following coded InputBox. And it prompts the user for what characters to search for in a string.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a cell which says November , 2012 in General format
In the next cell i want a date of the following month . Eg : 1-Dec-2012.
I tried =DATE(RIGHT(G4,4),LEFT(FIND(",",SUBSTITUTE(G4,",",",",1))),1)
I recieve a spreadsheet each month with the following column of data:
9 Paddington House
PO Box 73
Whiteleys of Bayswater
9-10 Grove Road
134/138 Drymen Road
44-46 The High Street
1 Midland Road
48 Donegall Place
As you can see, it consists of addresses, each line is a separate address. I need it to be converted so that the data is split into the following 5 fields:
Street number from
street number letter from
street number to
street number letter to
street
If there is no street number , then it should just enter the data into the street field. If there is a range such as 44-46, it should enter the 2 numbers into the from and to fields. Sometimes this is in the format 44/46. Also, sometimes there are letters, eg 44a-44b, in which case each section (ie 44, a, 44, b) needs to be in a spearate field.
I have a string of data coming from a SQL Server data connection into my workbook. The value in the column is a text string that is pipe delimited. I need a macro to parse the data from that column into applicable separate columns. I would typically use text to columns for this and parse it out manually... but the tool I'm creating is one of the automated variety, so that will not suffice for this application. I need it to do this automatically when the data connection refreshes.

I have a udf that returns a string to the cell. The string is made up of multiple string "objects". What I am wondering is if I can set the font color of certain objects so that when the final string is built and returned, the font of those portions is set.
Ex. of simple idea (this is not actually my code, just a way to illustrate. I realize there is no point to this UDF):
VB:
Function StringReturn (Str1 As String, Str2 As String, Str3 As String) As String
StringReturn = Str1 & Str2 & Str3
End Function
Now what if I wanted Str1 and Str3 to be blue, and Str2 to be red for example. So that when the UDF calculates it would return: Str1Str2Str3
Wondering if it is possible to generate a random 4 digit number based off an alphanumeric string?
Example;
Cell A1 has 123XVF1234
Cell A2 has 321AFW4321
In B1 I would like to have a 4-6 digit number that is generated based on the alphanumeric data in Cell A1 (and so on down the list). If that is possible, I would also need to be able to convert back the 4-6 digit number back to its original alphanumeric value
Example;
If B1 returns 643562 it would need to be able to be converted back to 123XVF1234
In sheet1 I have a simple database consisting of 5 columns of data
Column A : Name ie James Jones
Column B : payroll number ie 123456
Column C : shift times ie 1245-2124
Column D : job title ie floor
Column E : comments ie A/L or 0600-1500
what I would like is some code that will go down Column E and if a 'time string' ie 1300-2130 is found then copy this string and paste into corresponding value in column C. If a text string is found ie A/L or Sick or anything like this then ignore and move onto next cell, loop this until all cells in column E have been checked.
I need to create a string of all the Acc Number but I dun not wan any repeat of the same Acc number in the String . The number of Acc number to be put in the string may varies sometimes. It may varies from 3 to 1000 or more . Is there a way to write a general formula to create such string?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a situation where a word (in this case "Restaurant") is misspelled in a list of about 78,000 location names. The location names are in one column, and the [misspelled] word "Restaurant" is anywhere between the first word of the string, to the last, with any amount of alphanumeric/symbol characters between. For example:
Alice's Restaurant
Alli's Restaurant & Bar
Alexis Restaurant of Waukesha
Amigo's Mexican Restaurant #2
I want to replace any misspellings of the word with correct, but since the list is so long, and the way the word is misspelled varies so much, going through manually is entirely too time-consuming.
Some of the variations I've seen so far are Resta, Restau, Restaur, Restuara, etc...
Is there a way to search and replace cells that contain the text in any location of the string? Specifically, where ever there is JUST "Restau", replace with "Restaurant", regardless of where it is in the string? This way, trailing text is not deleted or manipulated, i.e. "Alice's Restaur and Bar" will change to "Alice's Restaurant and Bar".
I have a spreadsheet which has "Employee: [agent 1 name]" in column A and it may or may not have the word "Break" in the same column before it mentions "Employee: [agent 2 name]". The amount of data between agent 1 and agent 2 varies and am needing code which will insert a row above "Employee: [agent 2 name]" if "Break" is not found, and add the word "Break" in column A on the inserted row. I would need this to loop through the spreadsheet until all 100+ agents have been searched.
I'm also needing this done for the word "Meeting" and would insert a row 2 rows above the next agent.
I'm using a userform to create a new sheet. The form already creates the sheet and names it what was typed into the userform. Now I want it to place that variable in a cell along with a string. the following code will place the variable from the form (tbname) into cell b5.

My goal is to get as close as possible to this,so it will be easier to sort and manage
Code:
nameGaryage40cityPittsburgheight190
nameLindaage30cityMichiganheight150
nameHarryage50citySan Joseheight180
I can't use the "" sign as delimiter to separate them into different columns because the age,city,name and height fields are in random positions on different cells.The good thing is person's name will always come after "name" string, age is alwals followed by "age" string, so it cannot be like nameheight40Michigan180
I think the following would be the easiest method(not for me tho).If on B1 I had a formula that said "find the string "name" and write anything after it until you reach the next "" character".On C1 field I could have a formula "find the string "age" and write anything after it until you reach the next "" character.On D1 I would have the same for "height" string,then on E1 for city string.
My question is somewhat similar to this one
Extract A String Between Two Characters
Formula which outputs the data between 3rd and 4th instances of the "_" character.Can we substitute "3rd and 4th" with a specific strings like "age" or "height" ?
Code:
=TRIM(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,FIND("|",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"_","|",3))+1,LEN(A1)),"_",REPT(" ",LEN(A1))),LEN(A1)))
I have a problems here. The problems is attached in the file. I wanna extract alpha/char from a string. Example: I wanna extract the words "(M)" with the bracket from the string "Toothbrush (M)" in column A. After extracting the (M) out, I wanna do a validation to compare the (M) in column B with another data in column C, if the (M) is same as the data called "Medium" in column c, the validation will return "Match" in the column d!

View 9 Replies View Related I am trying to do a sort of index match thing using VBA. What I am attempting to do is to use the prefix of a long number and try to find that exact prefix in a string array, and output that string array value. So this is what I have so far as a test:
[Code].....
So I can match the text exactly so if I put PREFIXB in cell A1 in this example, i will get the msg box saying "YES", but if I make it PREFIXB1231k4j3jj1kj32cj, it will display "NO". I want to get it so that PREFIXB will be displayed in the cell that I put the formula in. So if A1 = "PREFIX1AAA100CF" and cell B1 = "=ABC(A1)", cell B1 will display "PREFIX1AAA".
Now the thing is that these prefixes can have different lengths, but will never encompass the exact prefix of another. So if I had a prefix of: PRE1AB, I won't have a prefix of PRE1A.
