Counting The Line-breaks In A Cell

Jun 30, 2009

I'm dealing with an Excel file with many cells and line-breaks. I'd like to have a count next to each cell with the total line-breaks in it.

Example:
A1_trial_____3
___trial
___trial
B1_trial_____1
C1_trial_____2
___trial

Do you know which formula I should put in the cell for counting the line-breaks?

Removing Line Breaks In A Cell

Jan 25, 2008

I am trying to split cells that have addresses in them into separate cells via writing a formula but am having no joy, i wonder if anyone could help me please.

What i need is to split cell A1 which contains an address i.e

Red Roofs
12 Chiltern walk
Tunbridge Wells
Kent
TN1 1PL
England

I need to put a formula in cells B1,C1,D1,E1,F1 and G1 tha splits each line of the address and puts it in the separate cells so it would look like:

B1 Red Roofs
C1 12 Chiltern walk
D1 Tunbridge Wells
E1 Kent
F1 Tn1 1pl
G1 England

Formula To Deal With Line Breaks In A Cell

Jul 29, 2009

I have text with line breaks in a cell for example:

A1 =

Multiple
App1
App2
App3
App4
App5

When I reference this cell for example in B1 (=A1) the line break list merges together and adds a square (LBC) where the line break is meant to be as follows:

Multiple LBC App1 LBC App2 LBC App3 LBC

Is there a formula that can look at cell A1 and split the lines out so that both A1 and B1 look identical not merged together?

How To Count The Number Of Words In A Cell With Line Breaks

Jun 6, 2014

I am making a content database and need to count the number of words in each cell...

I know you can count them with

=IF(LEN(TRIM(A2))=0,0,LEN(TRIM(A2))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2,” “,””))+1)

but the the cells have line breaks so this formula won't work

I've understood that since there is a space before the new line, the formula will not recognise the space and therefore not recognise a new word.

Include Line Breaks When Pulling Data From Another Cell?

Nov 17, 2013

I've made a spreadsheet for tracking sales/profits and keeping a record of orders, I have made a table on one sheet listing customers, and I have a table on another sheet with a Customer column, with cells linked to the table of customers on the other sheet, The cells in the customer column are set to display a drop-list from the external customers table, but when I select a customer, all of the cell data that's pulled in, is written on one line, whereas it has line breaks on the customers list sheet,

Is there a way of getting the list value to display with line breaks, like on the sheet it pulls the values from?

Cell Comments Line Breaks Based On Conditions

Jul 2, 2007

I manually enter data into inserted comments in a worksheet. Is it possible to run a macro that formats comments to align based on spaces? Ie

Entering "City","State" and "Amount" on row 1 in a comment and entering "Denver", "Colorado" and "5" in the second row would produce those words to align at a predetermined spacing (ie after every space the next word would start 10 characters over)
-----------------
City State Amount
Denver Colorado 5

Combine 2 Cells With Line Breaks In Each Of Them And Keep Line Break Formatting?

Aug 5, 2014

I'm trying to combine 2 cells that both have text on multiple lines separated by line breaks. I want to keep the formatting so that when both cells are combined, line one from cell 1 and line 1 from cell 2 are on the same line in the new combined cell. This is easy to do when there is only 1 line in each cell but how do you do this for cells with multiple lines? Here is an example of what I am trying to do:

A
B
C

1
First Name:
Last Name:
Address:
John
Smith
123 Harold Street
First Name: John
Last Name: Smith
Address: 123 Harold Street

Line Breaks In Userform Textbox

Sep 25, 2006

On my userform, when a command button is clicked, then a textbox gets filled in the the answer. How do I insert line breaks in the answer? For instance:

AnswerPart1
AnswerPart2
Instead of: AnswerPart1AnswerPart2

I tried .value="AnswerPart1" & Chr(10) & "AnswerPart2" but then all the text box displays is AnswerPart1 (the symbol for paragraph) AnswerPart2. It doesn't actually break the line.

Erase Unnecessary Line Breaks In The Cells

Oct 20, 2008

I want to erase all line breaks which I am not using from my work sheet. But still keeping the line breaks which has something written to it.

this as a example of one cell.

-------------------------------------------
- Example text number 1
- Example text number 2
- Example text number 3
- Example text number 4
- Example text number 5
---------------------------------------------

Using "Find & Replace" I got to replace the ones I want to erase with nothing, so its blank. Too bad the Excel doesn't replace the line breaks with it, so this is what I get.

-------------------------------------------
- Example text number 1
- Example text number 2

- Example text number 4

---------------------------------------------

The result which I want to have is:

-------------------------------------------
- Example text number 1
- Example text number 2
- Example text number 4
---------------------------------------------

I know about the Clean Function but that function eases all the line breaks from the cell, which I dont want to.

If not that whould mean that I have to delete the line breaks by hand for hundreds of cells.

Import HTML Table To Excel Without Line Breaks?

Jan 31, 2012

I have an html table (3 columns) that has a decent amount of formatting in each column. It uses the <P> attribute for seperating content blocks in each cell along with Lists (LI's) and OL's. It breaks the content on each <P> and <LI> attribute and places each item on a seperate line. I want the content to all be in one cell. I've heard about using a css style to make it stay in the same cell, but it doesn't seem to do anything at all. I've tried:

HTML Code: 

<style type="text/css">
br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}[code]....

any way to import this table into excel without all the line breaks?

Concatenate Cells & Replace Certain Character With Line Breaks

When I paste the comments into Sheet 1 it is pasted into mulitple cells. I want sheet 2 to format the text from these mulitples cells into one cell with spaces placed correctly ....

Fixing Line Breaks In Long CSV File So Columns Align

Mar 27, 2014

A database spits out a 42-column (A-AP) and 3,000+ row csv sheet of raw data with column headers. Frequently (due to improperly inputted information), there is a random line break in the middle of a cell, resulting in data that should be in columns Q (or R or S) - AP winding up in columns A thru Y (or Z or AA).

The only data that is consistent is in column AC.

Basically, I need to delete any blank rows and pull the incorrectly wrapped data up to complete the row where the split occurred.

Upon examination of the csv file in Word, there are instances of improperly placed paragraph marks (^p), which can easily be searched and replaced—in Word (by replacing each column A data with a unique character and the same data, deleting all paragraph marks and then replacing the unique character with a ^p.

Firstly, I'm not sure how to accomplish this same task in Excel and secondly, doing so brings the data into the proper rows but it doesn't fix the varying number of blank cells. Simply deleting blanks and shifting left doesn't work because the split often occurs in the middle of a cell which would require concatenating. But I would be ok deleting the latter part of the data so the columns align if need be.

In the attached example sheet, I highlighted the relevant data and what needs to be aligned. There is an ideal and an acceptable version in addition to the initial way the csv imports.

Inserting Page Breaks Based On Cell Text?

Feb 13, 2014

I'm working with a large report that includes ~6000 rows of data. Within the report the data is separated into a couple hundred town names - "Town of XXX" - and I need a page break at each town.

Inserting Rows Breaks Cell References But Can't Use Absolute

Jul 23, 2006

I have a problem where my conditional formatting is broken when new rows are inserted because Excel is auto updating the cell references. I am not able to use absolute references because I need to be able to Copy the entire information many times on one sheet to handle an ever changing number of projects.

I have attached an example file which shows a simple version of the sheet. There are areas for two projects now, but more would be added to the sheet as needed by just copying the entire section of one project and pasting it at the bottom. For each project, there is a cell which has a data validation list, e.g. B6, from which the user can select the current stage. The list of stages is obtained from column A, e.g. A9:A18. Whatever stage is selected, I need it to be highlighted in some manner. I currently have conditional formatting that checks if the value in B6 matches the information in the current cell and will change the text font color if True.

The problem occurs when new rows are inserted into the project. For example: if the project requires a Beta 1.1 stage, then a row would need to be inserted and labeled for that stage. However, Excel auto changes the cell references so that it no longer looks at B6. I need some way that the current stage can still be highlighted when selected in the Data Validation list.

I know that what I am needing to do may not be the best method to go about this, but I am having to work within the confines of the software available to me and the intended users of the file. Since the number and length of projects can change on a daily basis, the users need to be able to add and remove room for additional stages and projects whenever they want. I have a basic solution available to me using a macro, but the overall solution is clumsy and just leads to more problems.

Set Page Breaks Based On Cell Value On Protected Sheet

Mar 1, 2008

I'm not sure went wrong but my code was working fine until I protected the worksheet. Then I made some changes to the code by adding code to unprotect the sheet before running the code and then protecting it again when complete. That didn't work. I unprotected the sheet and ran the code again and now I'm getting a Run Time Error and the code stops when it attempts to set the Page Breaks which was previously fine. Because the data I use to generate this report is based on data from another report that does not need to recalculate before running. I have a Worksheet Activate Private Sub that sets the Application Calculation to Manual. When the sheet is deactivated it sets it back to Automatic. Hence the line in the following code to calculate this worksheet. When attempting to debug the line that highlights is the first line that attempts to set the page break that corresponds to the matching location criteria from cell A2.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
ActiveSheet.ResetAllPageBreaks
Range("A24").Value = Range("A1")
Range("A25").Value = Range("A2")
Range("A26").Value = Range("A3")
Range("A27").Value = Range("A4")
Range("A28").Value = Range("A5")
Range("A29").Value = Range("A6")
Range("A30").Value = Range("A7")
Range("A31").Value = Range("A8")
Range("A32").Value = Range("A9")
Range("A33").Value = Range("A10")...................

Excel 2003 :: Macro Breaks Because Can't Copy Cell And Then Cannot Select Cells In Workbook

Oct 21, 2013

i have a macro that opens 10 other workbooks and copies cells onto a "master" workbook. Until recently, everything worked fine. Suddendly, while it opens the 9 books and copies as it is expected, but when it opens the 10th wb, the macro breaks at a very simple copy/paste.

The weirdest thing is that after it breaks, I cannot select any cells neither in the opened wb nor in the master wb. This continues even after I press the "reset" button in the vba. So, I am only able to select objects (text boxes etc) in my wb and not any cells.

Also, the "arrow" icon on the design toolbar is not active. And I've tried pressing and de-pressing the F8 key, but I still cannot select any cells.

I have option explicit in the beginning of my macro. And i'm using excel 2003.

Read Pdf Or Doc File Line By Line And Then Parse Data Into Proper Cells And Rows?

Feb 23, 2013

I have the data to import / read in a pdf, in a doc, or in an Excel worksheet whichever is easier to use. I need to import the data, parse it into the correct cells for that row and then repeat the import until the end of the file. Not all the cells are in each group of data to import, so those cells will be null for that row. Some of the data for one cell may be in up to 14 lines in the data file. I have be concatenating these data rows into one cell. There are 48,000 lines in the file to import or I would do this manually. I am assuming that doing this in VBA would be the most efficient method.

Search Unopen Sheet For Value / Change Color Of Line / Copy Line Paste?

Nov 17, 2012

Our small family business has a mailing campaign that we track with excel. However, we're very concerned about users opening the macro-filled master spreadsheet. Instead, we'd like a macro to do everything for them.

When a letter comes back in the mail with a bad address, the user types the Street number and street name such as "1234 Main St" into $A2 of c:dropbox eturned.xlsm, presses the macro button, and it should do the following:

Opens and Searches "Sheet1", "column S", in the file c:dropboxmaster1.xlsm, and finds the LAST instance of the address typed.Selects that entire rowCopies the entire row.Pastes the contents into the row of the active cell in the destination spreadsheet, overwriting what was there before. Such as $2:$2 if the address was typed in $A2.In the master1.xlsm spreadsheet, sets the entire copied row color to "gray".closes master1.xlsm and saves changes.

The end result is that the user now has an identical row of information in their spreadsheet, and the master spreadsheet's row is colored gray indicating it has been completed.

Other notes:I'm open to more efficient steps than this if you have them.There are approx 5,000 records to search through in master1.xlsx at any given time.

Compiling Data From Multiple Workbook Into A Line By Line Master Schedule

Mar 30, 2013

I have about 180 workbooks which I need to compile into a Master Schedule.

All the tab 1's are different, these feed into tab 2, which the data has the same formatting throughout. The 2nd tab has the same data for A:F 1 but cells A:2 - F:2 down to row 9 are populated from tab 1, therefore different in each. I am trying to get a Master schedule that lifts the data in the fed cells into a line by line spreadsheet?

Is there a way I can get excel to look at a folder, then every workbook in it, the at the 2nd tab in every workbook, then list the cells as described above? I am not after a consolidation of this data, but a full list?

Read Range Of Data Line By Line Which Is Increasing Dynamically

Aug 20, 2014

I need to read or clear all the line in specific range which will be increasing dynamically. Problem is "Selected File List" table range is not specified. New file chosen with browse will be added to "Selected File List" dynamically. Number of file can't be predicted.

vbaStk.JPG

What I've tried so far is, keep track of the browse button click and add the file path to arraylist. After that, (Row number 9 which is start line + arraylist size) to get the number of line of end of the table. But due to some requirement, I want to read the file from excel file. Something like -Read until found blank line or border bottom or something.

I'm new to VBA and I'm not so sure what I'm doing with vba codes

How To Make Function That Works On One Line Work On Multiple Line

=SUMPRODUCT(--(IfColor(B3,$A$76)*(SUMPRODUCT(--(D3D4)))))

Here how it works, if B3 is the same color as the reference cell $A$76 and D3 is different than D4 then the result is 1

I would like this function to work from line 3 to line 60 and return the total of lines where the conditions are met. I'm thinking of a =COUNTIF function but can't get something to work. If there is a simpler way, it's even better. The IfColor is a function I wrote in VBA,
