Converting Cell Values To TEXT For Conditional Test

Apr 28, 2006

I have a macro that takes a value of one cell ("Cells(iFoundPass, 5")) and makes another cell (Admin_Level) equal it (the valules can be wither 'Administartor' or 'Standard'). When someone runs a macro it checks to see if "Admin_Level" equals "Administrator". The problem is that when that first macro runs, even if ("Cells(iFoundPass, 5")= "Administartor" and then "Admin_Level" will be made "Administrator" , my IF/THEN statements do not work. I think this is because the value of "Admin_Level"("Administrator" in the example above) is not text. I can't seem to figure out why. I do know, though, if I manually enter in 'Administrator' in the cell name "Admin_Level" then my IF/THEN works.

Sheets("Config").Range("Admin_Level") = Sheets("Config").Cells(iFoundPass, 5)

and then this is the logical check that runs anytime someone wants to run a macro...

If wb.Worksheets("Config").Range("Admin_Level") <> "Administrator" Then
PasswordForm.Show
End If

Converting Text To Numbers In Multiple Sheets While Leaving Missing Values Blank?

Jul 24, 2013

I have an Excel workbook with around 100 worksheets. All of them have similar columns, but the values are stored as text. The length of columns and missingness is different in different worksheets. I will be grateful if any of you could suggest a VBA that could convert the numbers stored as text back to numbers. I have been looking for an answer for a while, but cant seem to find one that automatically looks at every worksheet and converts text into number.

Taking Text In A Long Column And Converting It Into Corresponding Text In Another?

Sep 27, 2013

I have two columns that read:

XXHSXX HR
XXTRXX MG
XXXFXX XG
XXHSXX HS
XXTRXX MG
XXMEXX RU
XXHSXX HR
XXHSXX
XXTRXX
XXTRXX
....

The above list represents 2 columns. The left column is 400 lines long. The right column is partially complete with 2 letter codes that represent the 6 letter codes on the right. I'm trying to convert the column in the XXYZXX format to a 2 letter column and each of those 2 letters corresponds to the 6 letter column on the left. How do I do this using any method or Vlookup? How does one convert a column of text to a corresponding column of text? I don't want to have to manually type in 2 letter codes that match up the left column. What do I do instead?

Converting Column Of Text To Different Text?

Feb 1, 2013

I have an excel file that contains data imported from a csv file. One of the columns contains text strings that I would like to convert to a different text string. The column that I want to convert has text data that is similar to the following format:

BL BLDO
BLDO
BLDO
BLDO
EL BLDO

Now, the data above should look like this:

+CONC
CONC
CONC
CONC
-CONC

The "+" should replace the "BL" in the first row. The "CONC" should replace the "BLDO" in all rows. The "-" should replace the "EL" in the the bottom row. Within these files that I work with, there are perhaps 60 or 70 unique text items that each have a corresponding text item that should replace it, and the files usually contain upwards of several hundred to one thousand rows of data. In other words, I have a list of 60 or 70 text strings that have a specific replacement text string...and I need to apply that conversion to several files each day.

Mass Converting Values To Dates

Sep 8, 2009

I am working on combining several Excel spreadsheets and a report from a different program into one master Excel report. I have a macro built so the report can be compiled efficiently every quarter. However, I have one obstacle to overcome before I reach report programming bliss: The other program's report does not use a date format that Excel can interpret as a date. Excel interprets it as a value.

Specifically, the other program outputs September 3, 2009 as 9032009. It is crucial that the report be arranged in chronological order (time is a separate field). Does anybody know if there is a way to mass convert a bunch of values that look like 9032009 into 9-03-2009?

Converting Text To Number

Mar 16, 2009

I am currently trying to find an easy way to convert cell references to number format. The issue I'm having is when compiling a small formula (CONCATENATE) as part of a macro in order to produce a unique reference number to a column of data (1000's of cells long) I come accross the age old number stored as text issue after the macro has converted the formula to values.

Have tried editing the macro to number stored as text = false which removes the annoying little red triangle but the vlookup functions still wont read the values. My current solution is to highlight the entirity of the data and convert to number which takes a long long time as there are multiple lookups assigned to the cells, which for my current project is not acceptable.

Am looking for a quick solution, (with no interaction required) something that would convert the cells to the format required either before the formula is assigned and overwritten by values or just after. Currently I'm stumped.

16-25% = 1+
26-35% = 2-
36-45% = 2
46-55% = 2+

60-64% = 3
65-70% = 3+
71-76% = 4-
77-82% = 4
83-88% = 4+
89-94% = 5-
95-00% = 5

I have the following SQL that works fine...

Code:

However, if I create loops to cycle thru the years, the following doesn't work?

Code:

Is CStr not right?

Converting Text To Time ....

Aug 21, 2008

I have a column (R) that is formatted as text. Each cell represents a time in military format.

How do I convert the values in the column to be in 00:00 (hours:minutes) format instead of text?

For instance, 1200 is the value in R2. I want it to show as 12:00.

I tried the following:

1. Create a new column (S)
2. Format the new column (S) as 00:00 format
3. Copy cell R2 (whose value is 1200) and paste into S2.

Result: S2 value is the same (still 1200). Formatting in the S2 cell changed from 00:00 format BACK to text format upon me pasting.

So I tried and changed it BACK to 00:00 format, and I get 0:00 as the new value in cell S2. Also, the function bar shows "4/14/1903 12:00:00 AM" for cell S2. I need a formula for this apparently,

Converting Text To A Number ..

Apr 29, 2006

I need to convert some text to a number. I was wondering if there is a way to do it in Excel. Like, for example, the date 3/14/2006 can be converted to 38790. Is there any function in Excel that can convert a word to a number?

Example would be (numbers are totally random)

md_bla_bla_02 would convert to something like 3452615261502

Converting Text To Formula

May 28, 2006

I have an excel work book where in one page (sheet1) contains formula types to be used based on a code. and in the other page (Sheet 2) when I enter the code I need it to get the formula from 1st page and then do the calculation in the second based on the code. Ex : Sheet 1

Code Formula
0 Cell A * CellB
1 Cell B - Cell A*5%
2 (Cell A + Cell B)*10%

In Sheet 2

Cell A B C D ..........

Price(A) Units(B) Code Amount

100 5 0 500 (100*5)
100 5 1 answer (5 - (100*5%)
100 5 2 answer (100+5)*10%

I hope you got the picture. The problem is I'm not sure how to take only the formula from 1st sheet and then use it in the 2nd sheet to do the calculation.
I wont mind using a form for this even.

Is there any easy way to convert these?

Converting Text To Columns For A String

Jul 31, 2012

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 have tried:

Sub Split_Delimeter()
Dim Words() As String
Words = Split(Cells(2, 4), ",")
MsgBox "String contains " & (UBound(Words) + 1) & " words"
End Sub

Converting Copied Text Into Table

Apr 25, 2014

My boss sends me emails with people's information, which I then reformat to put in invoices in word, save as PDF, record in excel, and send out with an email from Outlook. I would love to find an easier way. I'm wondering about putting the info in an excel table so that I can then use a mail merge to create an invoice with the address--unless it turns out to be more work than to format each one (I'm newish to Excel).

The info I get is listed in the following way:

First Name: Mia
Last Name: Kant
Email Address: mika@gmail.com
Country: Afghanistan

[code]....

I need to use some but not all of the info, but if I could get it to format into a table, I assume I could then pick and choose.

I can do it in a few steps by using Data -> Text To Columns, formatting the date and time separately, and then putting them back together again.

Is there a 1-step way to do the original text to date/time conversion?

Converting A Text File To .xls Format

I'm trying to use the Text Import Wizard but am running into problems geting the column breaks right as there are thousands of rows of data items. As soon I think that I've inserted the break line in the correct place I scroll down a little further to find an item that encroaches into the next column, and when I shift the break line to the right to accommodate this new item I then encroach on the items in this next column.
