Copying Cells Data Loses Commas And Changes Formatting
Feb 12, 2013
i am trying to import an excel document and then copy over some columns to another worksheet from the imported worksheet, using a macro. Everything imports and copies over fine except for one column that has cells that comprise of a list of number separated by commas. When these cells get copied over some of the values retain the commas but some of them (specially when there are a lot values separated by comma) gets changed to this format
From: 1,229,124,012,441,230
To: 1.22912E+15
From: 1044,1048,1052,1053
To: 1.0441E+15
From: 1279,1282,1286,1295,1299
To: 1.27913E+19
From:926,929,938
To: 926929938
I am trying to figure out whats happening here! Is there a max number of letters this column can take and if it exceeds that value, excel converts them to this format? Or is the formatting gets changed to something else while copying and pasting?
I have a column of contacts. Each contact has data spread out over many rows, most of which are blank. I would like all of the data spread out through the rows to be in one cell, delineated by commas (so I can import into another program).
Concatenating the cells works except that I end up with 20 commas for two strings of info.
Just so you understand I may have this: Mary red blue yellow purple Rob blue purple Trey yellow
and I want it to look like this
Mary red, blue, yellow, purple Rob blue, purple Trey yellow
I have applied conditional formatting to a cell using formulas and i want to copy that formatting to a new cell using similar formula but pointing to different cells. Is it possible to do so? I have tried to copy and paste special>formats, but that just copies the conditional formatting with the same formulas.
Sample: =IF($C$5/$C$295>$R$5,TRUE,FALSE)
I want to copy to $D$5/$D$295>$R$5,TRUE,FALSE) without having to paste the new formula in each time.
I have a workbook containing two worksheets of staff training records.
The first work sheet contains a list of names and the dates they completed various training courses. I have used some simple date based formulas and conditional formatting to colour-code their name depending on whether their earliest retraining due date has passed, is coming up in the next few weeks, or is a long way off. The data is set out alphabetically, one person per row of data.
The second sheet contains the same list of names, but each person's data is split across two consecutive rows. The cells in column A which contain the staff names are merged in pairs so that the name heads both rows of data.
I want the colour coding of the merged name cells in sheet 2 to automatically copy the colour coding applied to the single name cell in sheet 1, but don't know how.
I have a piece of code that runs through various excel files and takes the data (minus the header) and pastes that into a separate workbook. The piece of code that does the actual copying i think is this (i have used code from the msdn website)
Code: With sourceRange Set destrange = destrange. _ Resize(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count) End With destrange.Value = sourceRange.Value
I have tried replacing the sourceRange.Value with sourceRange.Text however when i do that it will copy nothing any more.
how do to count the number of occurrences of a text string in a range of cells, where some cell have comma delimited entries?
I am trying to count the number of times a project number is identified in a column of cells. However, in any row in that column a cell may have multiple project numbers referenced, separated by commas.
Using countif Excel thinks that the cell has a different entry and it won’t include it in the count even though the criteria string is in the cell.
I have a workbook that is going to be used as an offline 'database', recording issues being worked on and all the necessary details e.g. time logged, user, problem type, comments etc. A lot of this will include vba for automation and validation etc.
This will then be exported in comma seperated .txt format. So I don't want anyone putting a comma in a normal field within Excel. I'm sure I remember a way of blocking certain character entry a few years back when I was working on a similar problem. However, time is getting the better of me so is anyone able to help save me some time and point me in the right direction? Trying to find a suitable search string for this question is proving tricky.
I receive a report that is generated by another program. One column contains the address, city, state, and zip (5 and 10 digit) with no coma separators. Macro that would add comas before the Zip, state, and city so that I can use the text to columns tool in excel.
here is an example of the column
7935 COUNCIL PL SUITE 200 MATTHEWS NC 28105 223 WRENWOOD LN CHARLOTTE NC 28211 1125 BIRCH ST APT A ROGERS CITY MI 49779-1406 PO BOX 1376 NEW YORK NY 10018 428 C ST APT 301 SAN DIEGO CA 92101 4682 MISSION BV SAN DIEGO CA 92109
I need it to look like this:
7935 COUNCIL PL SUITE 200 ,MATTHEWS ,NC ,28105 223 WRENWOOD LN ,CHARLOTTE ,NC ,28211 1125 BIRCH ST APT A ,ROGERS CITY ,MI ,49779-1406 PO BOX 1376 ,NEW YORK ,NY ,10018 428 C ST APT 301 ,SAN DIEGO ,CA ,92101 4682 MISSION BV ,SAN DIEGO ,CA ,92109
Then I can run the text to columns and it will split the text into 4 columns.
I have spreadsheet that contains about 25,000 rows of client addresses. The columns/data is set up as follows for example
ColumnA...........ColumnB..................ColumnC Jim Smith..........123 Apple Road.........New York NY 10022-3456 Tina Jone..........456 Apple Road.........San Diego CA 12345-1111 Bob Smith..........789 Peach Lane........Seattle WA 59802-3344 Tim Smith..........4255 Lime Lane.........Missoula MT 59802-3333
I am having an issue with the vendor whom needs to do a mailing of all 25,000 clients. They have indicated that they require comma delimited data to create the mailing. In order to do this, I need to place a comma after the city and a comma after the state.
So as in the first row of data the cells looks like this:
New York NY 10022-3456
The vendor needs it to look like this:
New York, NY, 10022-3456
Is there a function and/or VBA procedure to put commas in where I need them?
I need to have them look like this: A1 cabinet hardware, cabinet hardware knobs, cabinet hardware pulls, kitchen cabinet hardware, amerock cabinet hardware, antique cabinet hardware. How do I do it? Im a COMPLETE Newbie when it comes to excell but I urgently need to figure this one out....how do I do it?
If for any reason I completely close excel during the workday, then when I restart the application none of my macros are active. Even if I manually open the PERSONAL workbook that contains my macros. Any fixes other than restarting the computer?
Using =A7&","&B7 to add data from two columns into one, separated by a comma. What about multiple columns, still separated by a comma? See Example in attachment.
I have line of code that should look bat a given range and copy all visible cells to a new sheet, to start at G8. I get the message that this code doesn't perform this for more than one selection and I'm not sure my code is correct for a rnage that covers two lines either.

I have a table with over 12,000 rows in it. In one column I have activity and the next a name.
A B
Walk John Run Harry Sleep John *blank* Harry Eat Percy *blank* John *blank* Harry Reading Tom
So *blank is completey blank and that means Harry also put time to sleeping, and again John and Harry both put time to eating. How can I make the blank cells auto populate with the data from the entry above it?
I have a spread sheet where you fill in an order, so customer name, item being purchased, quantity and price. I now need a macro that will copy that info over into an invoice.
If the customer is only buying one item, that would be straight forward, as it could just copy that info across, but if the customer buys two items, the macro needs to see that there is more data to copy, then insert a new row on the invoice and copy the details of the other item.
Overview: I have a workbook named MainPage.xls. This mainpage has several buttons and serves as a switchboard to launch other workbooks. Attached to this Main Page are two worksheets, "Source" and "Value1". The "Source" worksheet is graphical in nature and is used to collect data via a DDE channel to some production industrial processors and then on a timer "log" the data to cells in the "Value1" worksheet. Once the VB code is launched from the "Source" worksheet (via a start button), the code continues to run until it is stopped (via a stop button). The data is then graphed and printed out, etc.
This works very nicely and provides "live" graphing of some constantly changing data. Once the "Source" worksheet data VB code is running, I need to be able to minimize the worksheets and return to my Main Page and further be able to open any one of the other workbooks on the Main Page and work with that page(s). Thus far, I can minimize the "Source" and "Value1" worksheets and return to the Main Page and the VB code runs along nicely in the background.
However... IF I attempt to open any other workbook from the Main Page, my data collection/graphing code stops and I get a Run-time error 9, subscript out of range... and Excel completely shuts down.
I know this must have something to do with the worksheet that runs the VB code losing focus when another workbook is opened.
I have a workbook that prompts a user with a msgbox and then a SaveAs dialog. It works but when users intend to open the workbook from Internet Explorer, the SaveAs dialog stays behind the browser and everything freezes. Ideally I would want the workbook SaveAs to stay on top till user saves the workbook. Any help?. Here is my Open and Save code.

I've imported a large document to excel. It contains 118 rows of information. My problem is that all the information is in column A. Every cell contains long sentences with information. The information is divided by a comma-sign (,). What i want to do is to seperate the information by columns instead of a commasign. So for example:
i have data exported as CSV from in house system, the problem is that data is separted by commas therefore some of cells have split, i need VBA to remove the commas and bring my data back into correct format. Below is a sample of what the data looks like, real data is 5000 rows of data
PFOLIO A/C CODE ACCT NAME CUR CODE DESCRIPTN NARRATIVE DATE ENTRY DATE CASH VALUE De --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ACA001AUDCUST JP MorganAUDINT0005 SALE 39727.08 INTECH BAL GR FD C29-Dec-082-Jan-09-27690.57N
I have a list of activities (each activity is one row of data). These will be input manually into Sheet2. (see attached file)
The activities then need to be automatically copied and pasted into Sheet1. However, the data is displayed in a different order than in sheet1. So I need some code which will run through a loop for each row of data and then copy and paste it into sheet1 until it reaches an empty row.
The cell positioning of each data set in sheet1 is equally spaced. VLOOKUP will not work for me here as I do not want any formulae or VBA script in sheet1. I cannot change the format of sheet1 as it is a company form.
i have selected cells from workbookA (b2:b8) , i want those selected cells gets pasted in workbookB in a transpose way.
like B1 cell in workbookA pasted into A2 cell in workbookB , B3 cell pasted into D2 , B4 cell pasted into B2 and B5 cell pasted into G2......
i have code but not working
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim STRFILENAME As String Dim O As Workbook Windows("Copy of Bill Schedule Form1.xlsm").Activate Sheets("Sheet1").Activate ActiveSheet.Range("b2:b8").Select
In column A, I have unit numbers. Column B is blank. I need help copying the unit number in Column A down in Column B until a new unit number appears in column A. For example, in A6 is unit LS2, A12 is unit LS24, A17 is unit LS34. I would like to be able to copy A6 into B6:B11, A12 into B12:B16, and A17 into B17:B22, etc.
I have the code to copy A6 in to B6 and down, but I don't know how to make it stop at A12. Attached is also an example.
I am working on a excel file that has a sheet that i want to convert to .csv. The sheet has formula's for the first three column that are warped an if statement that returns "" (blank) if certain conditions are not meet. However when i got to save the file as a csv i get a file with ",,,,,,," where there is no data. I would like to save csv and have only commas where this data.
Example When i convert a sheet like Firstname Lastname Password Tim Cats Bo3n9x
it saves as Firstname Lastname Password Tim Cats Bo3n9x ,,, ,,, ,,,
I recorded one that does a very simple task, converts formulas to values. I saved it in my personal workbook, all is well. I noticed that excel names them Module1, Module2 etc. I thought it would be better to name them, so in the properties window next to "name" i changed Module1 to ConvertFormulas.
However, when i go to a worksheet, the keyboard shortcut no longer works. Reverting back to the old name Module1 solves this. Clicking Tools -> Macro -> Macros, selecting ConvertFormulas and then Options and modifying the shortcut.
I'm trying to automate a very laborious process where text data is taken from a series of cells in excel 97 and is turned into HTML tables - I've got it all working except for one thing, when I extract the contents of the text the paragraphs are lost and are merged into one long piece of text - obviously I need to insert <br /> characters where the paragraphs are to get this working. how I can extract text from with some kind of marker for the paragraph sections? Or is there a way to insert characters where the excel cell has a paragraph mark (ie a return key has been pressed).
I am currently trying to count data in one cell separated by commas. The spreadsheet attached will make things look a lot clearer.
The "CURRENT" table is what I currently have and the "IDEAL" table is what I would like (but not hard-coded). Sheet 3 is where the meaningful data is. So for example, E4 has "CC-12" which is "Open" and "CC-11" which is "Closed". Therefore I would want there to be a "1" in cell F4 and G4 and a "0" in H4.
I have about a thousand Excel timesheets that all contain 'hours worked' data in a column. Each row contains the area of the project they have worked on and therefore the amount of time they have spent on it. The timesheets also contain the person's name and a w/e date.
I want to sequentially work through each timesheet held locally in a single folder and copy the person's name, w/e date and the hours held in the column into a single new spreadsheet. I need to transpose the data so each amount of time spent on an activity ends up in a column.
I have attempted to record a macro for this but each time I try and run it after the intitial run, it moves to a completely different cell or set of cells to the ones I have directed it and consequently there is no data copied to the new sheet.
I believe this is the first problem..! The second is working through a high number of spreadsheets held in a single locattion but whilst browsing this site I saw the "Excel VBA Loop Through a Folder of Excel Workbooks" page and think this should work fine.
I have created one-dimensional array and now I try to copy the data from array to some specific Cells in worksheet. But it seems impossible all the time!
Sheet2.Cells(56, 3 + m) = LossLocationInt(m)
NB: LossLocationInt(m) is an array containing value in it. But, this doesn't copy to the Sheet2.Cells(56,3+m). For clearness: the array has type variant
