Converting Older And Varying Data Into New?
Apr 1, 2013
I have been tasked with converting our old inventory system into a new one. Here is an example of the conversions I need to do,
I need to convert this:
A1 A2
1.50 OD x .035 W 304, WD ASTM A-269
1.50"OD X .065 W 304,SMLS ASTM A-269
1.50"OD SCH 40 304, SMLS A-312
INTO
A1 A2
304-WD-ASTM A269-1.50X.035 304 WELDED ASTM A269 1.50X.035
304-SMLS-ASTM A269-1.50X.065 304 SEAMLESS ASTM A269 1.50X.065
304-SMLS-ASTM A312-1.50 SCH 40 304 SEAMLESS ASTM A312 1.50 SCH 40
The current plan is for me to do this manually over thousands of entries over the next few months, but if I can do it in a quick fashion that would be way better.

I have a one column spreadsheet. The column contains this data:
1 Name
2 Address
3 City
4 State
5 Zip
6 Telephone
7 Fax
8 URL
9
10
11 Name
12 Address
13 City
14 State
15 Zip
16 Phone
17 URL
18
19 Name
20 Address ... and so on
Where there may be one or two blank rows between the individual records and where there may or may not be a Fax number (or row) in the record.
I am trying to convert this data to a horizontal column format - which works fine if I do a copy/paste special/transpose. However I have to do this for 1,800 records and cannot figure out how to do this reliably.
I gave the above illustration to simplify but, actually this is a two column spreadsheet with individual row labels for every record using the above terminology. In other words the above text is in the first column and the data is in the second. Just thought I'd mention in case there was a way to do some kind of if/then formula.

I am attempting to have cells in Column 'U' deliver different drop-down menus based on the corresponding value in column 'D'. I have created 7 named lists:
List_117G
List_152
List_JMET
List_XBAND
List_PACWIND
List_VORTEX
List_ROVER
Those lists will be called up based on 7 values in column “D”:
“G”
“152”
“J”
“X”
“D/E”
“V”
“R”
So far I have only been able to get this to work for the first category “G”. When I change the value of column “D” from “G” to “152” I no longer get a drop-down. Here is the formula I am using in the List function of validation.
=IF(D6="G",List_117G,IF(D6="152",List_152,IF(D6="J",List_JMET,IF(D6="X",List_XBAND,
IF(D6="D/E",List_PACWIND,IF(D6="V",List_VORTEX,IF(D6="R",List_ROVER,)))))))

There are 11,000 rows and 4,000 are unique. The goal is to merge the data down to the 4,000 records. Each of the unique entries shows up 1 to 15 times.
In trying to solve this, I wonder if I should break this down into the different # of occurances and implement specific solutions. e.g., There are
5700 entries that show up 2x
504 that show up 3x
24 that show up 12x

I want to call a macro with a varying name that is within a module with the same name.
I have a module called Test1 and within this, a macro name called test1
I have a module called Test2 and within this, a macro name called test2
etc
On another module called Test8 (with the macro called Test8), this Test8 macro will call either Test1 or Test2 or Test3 etc depending on what I choose in an excel spreadsheet. So on sheet1, cell A1, there is a drop down with the options Test1 or Test2 or Test3 etc.
The following works to run the macro test1 from module test1 (when it does not vary i.e. i physically put in the name of the macro myself):
Sub Test3()
Test1.Test1
End Sub
The following works to run the macro test2 from module test2 (when it does not vary i.e. i physically put in the name of the macro myself):
Sub Test3()
Test2.Test2
End Sub
etc
However, if I try it so that the calling of the macro varies as below , it does not work:
Sub Test3()
MacroToCall = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
MacroToCall.MacroToCall
End Sub

I've created two large historical tables on separate sheets. The master sheet (Bins) contains the following columns:
Year - Side - Commodity - Variety - Block and then each consecutive column is a day of the year, starting at 4/26 and going through 10/31 (F - GL). Column GM is a sum of all days in each row.
For example, GM15 totals F15:GL15. The second sheet (Percentages) is identical to the first in size and format, however, it calculates daily percentages of totals from the first sheet. For example, cell BA15 contains the formula

i am trying to work out how to use the rank formula to rank numbers in column B and keep them in unison with Column A.
So Column A has say 5 1's with column B having different scores then continuing under 1 in A is 2 and so on is there a way to continue the ranking formula without manually changing the cell ranges?
so =rank(B1,$B$1:$B$7,1) but can i do that if A =1 and then A=2 etc ?
so if A=1,rank(B1,$B$1:$B$7,1)

I have a non-contiguous range of cells that contains Values, Formulas, Text or Dates. In some cases a field containing a value could instead contain a formula depending on who is filling out the form and/or what information is known. For example, a cell might contain a value, i.e. Utilities, and I might either know the total ($76,310), or I might need to perform a calculation right in the cell to obtain the total (=54236+9587+12487).
My goal is to be able to copy the information contained in this non-contiguous range to the right some 52 columns (this is a safe temporary storage location) and then be able to copy it back should I need to.
One other problem may be that the source cell might be a merged cell.
Since I cannot determine whether the information is going to be a value or a formula, and I have some text and date formats to copy as well, is there some way to copy this range and keep the data regardless of format?
My Range might look like: (F4, C5, D6:D7, D9, D13:D15, D17:D18, D22:D25, D27:D30)
F4 is a date field, C5 is a merged cell holding text, D6 is the Utilities field described above. The other fields are all formatted as dollars or percentages.

My last post here was brilliant, I was very close to figuring the problem out myself (I'm learning) and the help I got here really was useful to help me finally get what i wanted to work.
Unfortunately, this request isn't so simple, as I haven't a clue what to even search the forum for to help me with this.
I have attached a simplified example to try and explain what i would like to happen.
Sheet1 holds information which is regularly updated, so the number of rows can vary, as the number of customers vary.
I want to produce a management report from this data, with a specific layout.
I have put the layout into Sheet2 - the cells highlighted in yellow are there simply as a reference to show the cell from which column would go where.
I produced the top report, by filling the cells with =and then clicking on the cell on sheet1 that I wanted displayed there.
I thought that if I then selected the table and filling down, it would produce the same layout table for all the other rows - but I was wrong.
Another problem is that, this report is needed to be entirely automatic, so I don't want to fettle filling down cells for the number of rows. I will need it to count the number of rows in Sheet1 and produce a report in the specific layout for each company in sheet 2.
It may be an option to use a button create the report, to save the report into a new workbook with automatic file name containing the date and also print a copy out automatically on the default printer.
I don't know how to go about this task at all, so I would really appreciate some help, even if it is pointers for what i should be searching the forum for!

I have an excel sheet with date as the first column and all other data being numeric. I put in a code to increment by 1 everytime the user clicks on a cell, the contents within it. the code is below.
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B2:H100")) Is Nothing Then
Cancel = True
Range(Target.Address).Value = Val(Range(Target.Address).Value) + 1
End If
End Sub
This does its job for the time being, but I want to allow changes only to the row which has the current date and deactivate all other rows for any editing. So that if I click anywhere else but the row with the current date nothing happens.

Have some code I have found from this site shown below. It works great however I need some help in editing it to change what it does. Basically the code currently takes all the data from set cells from all sheets after a set point and adds a new sheet and copies data from each of the sheets between this point and the new sheet and then pastes it to this final sheet.
What I wish to change is I already have a sheet which I will be using to analyse data from so how would the code look to be able to point to such a sheet within the same workbook? The sheet will be within the first 2 sheets of the workbook so from the code below you can see I have already set it to not include this sheet. I wont be needing a new sheet to be created at the end, I just want the data to paste to my analysis sheet which we can call "analysis".

I have a workbook with several sheets of varying length (amount of columns). The length of each sheet changes every week. I want particular data from the sheets to come together on one sheet in as organized a fashion as is possible. I'm currently losing my mind copying and pasting every week when I need to update the thing.

I have one worksheet with four columns of data. Column A is a well name, RA-0001, column B is the measured depth of the well from 0 feet to however far down it goes, anywhere from 4000 to 15000 feet, column C is the inclination of the well, column D is the Azimuth.
I have 500 wells from RA-0001 to RA_0500 or so all in this one worksheet, all the wells have varying Measured Depths associated to their well name. I need to create a macro that can separate the wells and either put them in a new worksheet for each well, ie. a worksheet named RA-0001, RA-0002, ..... ect. OR, and this would be nicer, a macro that can actually save all these individual wells as (Formatted Text (Space Delimited)) files with the associated well name.
Here is an example of what it looks like. The columns do not have a subject line to state what information is in each column because I dont need it in that format.
RA-0001
0
0.00
0.00
RA-0001
100
0.91
5.56
[Code] .......
Even just knowing how to create a simple macro that would take all the data from each well so I could manually copy and save them as new files.

I am setting up a workbook for our absence reporting for work and have everything figure out except one thing. I have it where it subtracts points if the points were given over a year ago and also have it to subtract one point for every 90 days of perfect attendance. The problem however is if someone gets 5 points for a no show on January 1, 2013 and then don't have another reportable until June 01, 2014, it subtracts the five points and then an additional 1 since they had over 90 days of perfect attendence and it also goes into negative when employees cannot have negative attendence points. Is there a way to keep the extra point from being deducted and keep it from going into negative? Below is my workbook and the formulas used.

I have a dir with over 150.000 files in it, especially pdf, doc and xls. Now I'm looking for a script or program that will automatically search the entire directory and look for old xls files, open them and save them in a new(er) version. I'm working with a software that needs to use these XLS files in my directory but it can't use the old xls-versions. It's an impossible job to search by hand for the old versions and put them in a new(er) version.

I need to figure out how to tell Excel to count the number of invoices on a worksheet older than 30 days and display that number in my Summary worksheet. Here's a quick example:
Worksheet '1234' has 10 invoices, 6 of which are more than 30 days old (invoice dates are in column B). Worksheet 'Summary' needs to display the total number of invoices and the number older than 30 days.

I have drop drown menus that allow you to select 1 of 3 choices and based on those a second set which lists the options for the first three (subset). Now depending on the second value I need to pull a set of x y coordinates that can be of varying length. '
Example
Drop down menu 1 1560, 1669, 1554. Drop down menu 2 1560-1,2,3,4 1669-a,b,c,d. This has been done now lets say I select 1560-1. I need the following to be pulled from a list, the data is a block.
1.00 1.543
1.23 -1.25
0.54 -2.75
This can be of any length.

I'm having difficulty allowing my macro to run in a more global environment with varying data-set lengths.
For example:
Though the following "copy" scenario works for me when my data set is contained within cells B2:B35:
Range("A2:A35").Select
Selection.Copy
It does not allow me to work with a set of data that extends beyond this--say to B50 or B60. Is there any way to allow this command, and others, to be a bit more flexible with my data set lengths?

I have a problem converting hourly data into daily data for electricity import capacity. My file has the following form:
| Connection | Date | Period | Available (capacity) | Where 'Connection' identifies the physical location of the capacity (4 possibilities, Germany -> Netherlands; Norway -> Nehterlands; Belgium -> NL; UK -> NL), 'Date' refers to the date, Period refers to hour of the day (e.g. 18:00-19:00) and 'Available' refers to the import capacity of electricity on that conncetion during that hour. I need daily aggregates and tried several things such as DSUM but I cannot manage I've shortened the attached file quite a bit because of the upload size restriction. I am using Excel 2010. I've tried some suggestions in similar topics but none worked for me.

I am trying to calculate the entire amount of time taken by each person in my team to complete a number of dictation files. The program we use exports the data in this format:
MacroLab 15:3029/02/2012 17:561/03/2012 8:00MacroLab 15:2129/02/2012 15:411/03/2012 8:29
Where it says 5:30, excel shows it in the formula bar as 5:30:00 AM.
What I've been trying to figure out (with very little understanding of how excel works) is how to format that column so that it shows 00:05:30 (as in 5 minutes, 30 seconds) so that I can sum the entire column for each typist and get the total amount of time spent typing per day.
I started changing it manually, but there's rows and rows of the data, for a few months now and its taking me forever. I've been googling my self ragged, but I either don't understand what people say, or I'm not searching the right way (probably a combination of both).

I am having a sheet where I keep track of when online surveys have been sent to users. The users enail address (column K) may be on the list for several times, but I need to make sure that there is at least a 7 days pause between sending the first mail and the second, depending on the visit date (column G).If there are less than 7 days between two entries with the same email address, the user is not qualified for taking another survey.
I was thinking to write an IF formula which returns either 1 or 0 and then let conditional formatting highlight and HIDE the row via a VBA loop.
