Creating Macro To Insert Text Into Predefined Cells
Apr 22, 2014
I had posted earlier to see if there was a way to protect certain cells from being updated when using a linked excel spreadsheet to access. Since there have been no replies I'm assuming not.
Different approach, can I create a Macro that would run after the update that would insert my required text into each cell from A2 through to R2.
The text would always be the same and always in exactly the same cells. This would need to be an insert into and not a replacement of the data already in those cells.
A1 B1 C1 D1
State
BUName
InsuranceCompanyName
Claim
ROnumber
Renter Last Name
[Code] .......
A2 B2 C2 D2
CategoryFilter CategoryFilter CategoryFilter NoFilter
The text under each of the A2, B2, C2 etc is what I would want the macro to do for me, essentially putting back what the update from the linked source removed.

I want B1 to copy from A1, but if A1 contains a certain text string, then remove that text string and keep everything else. For example, I want B1 to remove "ru" "la" "fm" and "mu" so if A1 is 5464ru-xl then B1 will return 5464-xl or if A1 is 36944la-s then B1 returns 36994-s

I need to fixed width-text to column macro and found a reply in the forum.
However, when I apply the macro, the result of zeros in front of figures disappear since the format of value in splitted column doesn't predefined as text
e.g. sample text to split to column:
000122042009ABCDEFG00567
Required result:
0001|22042009|ABCDEFG|00567
when running below macro; result shows:
1|22042009|ABCDEFG|567
(Beginning zeros figures of the first and last column disappear)

I have a spreadsheet that allows users to paste set data from a PDF Image (using OCR) straight into Excel and then use the MID function to split the data accordingly.
Unfortunately, the OCR isn’t too intuitive and gets it wrong sometimes.
So to counter this, in another sheet (in the same workbook) I have a manual input section, and a simple macro button that pastes this data into the same fields where the OCR text would be, so that the main sheet works exactly the same way as before.
The problem is, and most likely due to the simplicity of the sheet, if a combination of OCR pasting and manual inputting is used, when I hit the paste button, it over rides the OCR data with blank cells
In the link below I have shown what is currently happening (1, 2, 3), and an example of what I would actually like it to do (4, 5, 6).
Example - Online Spreadsheets - EditGrid
So, in the 2nd scenario, I would like “5” to recognise that the respective cells in “4” already contain data and fill them ‘Grey’. This I have already achieved with basic conditional formatting.
However, I need to take it 1 step further and say that if the parent sheets cell (Auto OCR) contains data, as well as filling cells (in sheet Manual) lock these cells off and prevent the end user from adding data and/ or being copied over to the parent sheet.
Is this possible?
The result then being the parent sheet with both OCR text and copied text from the manual input sheet.
Both sheets are protected anyway and only allow for user input in certain areas, so is it even possible to apply further protection once the sheet is locked already?

I currently have a 200 row table spanning 10 columns. There is one numeric column and the rest are free text. The table charts the different contents on one of the shared drives here at work. The drive is frequently in use with things being added and removed from it.
I have an excel table already which can sort the contents in order of size (numeric row) or name of the folder (the first text column). I have two buttons at the top.
The first inserts a row, which I did by recording a macro and then copying the code into the button.
The second I would like to do the following: When a user selects a cell in a row, the button, then clicked, deletes the entire row. Not just the data in it, but excises the row itself and stitches the surrounding materials together. The code to delete a row I could obtain easily, but I can't work out to say "find the selected cell, and take out the row it belongs to".

After all the work and calculations applied to data from various macros, I would like to have a final macro simply insert a title row, always the top row with various titles. Theres 11 columns, thus it would be great for the code to simply insert the row with predefined bolded titles, such as T1, T2, T3....T11. These 11 cells would than share then same bolded bottom line, making it visibly separated from the rest of the rows. I know this is easy, and Ive looked throughout the forum, but I can find things close, but not close enough.

I require a bit of code that locates where the excel file is stored - it then searches that directory folder for all file names. Any file names with an extension *.hm for example are listed in column A, while their relevant 'Dates of last Modification' are listed in Column B.
Every time the spreadsheet opens it should ask the user if he/she requires a re-search of this directory and update of any file names accordingly. NB: if a file name is deleted from the directory, the file name should remain in the spreadsheet.

1-I would like to create a type of link or button that would exist in the cell "Johny Smith" so that when a teacher clicks on that name excel would generate a graph or pie chart for the specific data associated with Johny and when a teacher clicks on Betty a different graph would pop up. I know teachers can just highlight the data and insert charts, but many of them don't know how to do that. I have been asked to make the process a one click function.

I'm trying to get something like - If a cell contains certain text AND certain text then display set text OR If a cell contain certain text AND certain text then display set text.
For example:
Vauxhall Corsa 1.5Litre Petrol = vauxhall corsa petrol
Vauxhall Corsa 1.5Litre Deisel = vauxhall corsa Deisel
Vauxhall Nova 1 litre Petrol = vauxhall nova petrol
So it the formula is effectively searching for the car type and the fuel type and then returning the relevant set text. So far I'ver only been able to find IF functions criteria to identify one feature of the text.
I'm thinking it's got to be variation on =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("Vauxhall Corsa",A1)),"Vauxhall Corsa Petrol") but there should be something else in there like =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("Vauxhall Corsa"&"Petrol",A1)),"Vauxhall Corsa Petrol")
I know this is wrong but just trying illustrate my thinking. I need it to pick up vauxhall corsa AND petrol. I understand that I would have to stick a lot of IF functions together in a string, but that is fine as long as I can ask it to pick certain text AND certain text within a cell.

I've seen a lot of traffic around running macro's on a clock at regular intervals. But what if I want to run a Macro (Macro1) at 8:55, 9:55, 11:55, 12:55, 13:55, 16:55 and another Macro (Macro2) at the top of each of those hours? The string of times is not consecutive, so I have built a table to define the release times. At each of these times I need to run a macros, and I'm not sure where to begin.

I have a workbook which has a variety of command buttons with assigned macros, one of which is a product detail button which redirects to a new worksheet.
Is it possible to be able to click on the button, display a new window (the new worksheet), but only display a section of it?
For example, I have 5 products. Each of the five products are detailed on the same worksheet and I have a button for each. I would like Button 1 to open up the details for product 1 only and button 2 to open up product 2 details etc.
I could go to individual sheets, but if I had 2000 products, the book would be a little large.

Ok, I have a situation that I would love to have some help with. I have a command button that when clicked takes the user through a few questions via input boxes. The final objective that I need help with is a large typing area. Either the input box typing area needs to be larger or I need a text box to appear. After user is done typing and presses ok, I need what they typed to go into an area where I have merged some cells/rows to make a paragraph.

I have a formula which looks in a folder for a file and returns the cell I want from that folder and work book
='H:NCHOCall CentreCall Centre ResourcingStats[NHC_Telephony_Daily_2012-11-27.xls]NHC Daily'!$E$55
as you can see I have a date in the middle, I want it to reference to a cell with a date in and return the information from that document with the change in date. So all I have to do is drag the formula down and it will return the info i want out of each report.I think it might be an add on that I need to download?

I need a macro that will insert text into merged cells. I have merged blocks where all will be exactly the same size one after another. (there are 19 blocks). The problem is that each month the size of the blocks change.(see sheet for example). Right now blocks are 8 rows will get to 16 by end of year. In each block I need a "- (city) (Name)" Each block has a different city and name that goes with it.
It would be an awesome time saver If I could click a button and have the city and names be entered into the appropriate spot no matter what month were in.

I have a button that will create tabs based off of information from a text box and now I want to select one sheet and insert text into certain cells so when they create a new tab information that is generally going to be there is autogenerated. I have an example of my code below. Please point me in the right direction cause I cant find anything really helpful that I havent tried. Everything is under the "gateway" then "New tabs" and PBG-Activity list is the only one with this macro.

I have an excel sheet that looks like this:
IMAGE 1
(The sheet holds more data but not needed for this)
I have two buttons; BUY and SELL
I need a vba-code that inserts either BUY or SELL in row 6 (buy/sell) and insert a text (code) in row 7 depending in this information. When I push either Buy or Sell
IMAGE 2
So.. When I push the button SELL (already made) the action Switch should get Sell and actioncode SO, and Redem1 and Redem2 should get Sell and actioncode RA and RN
So.. When I push the button BUY (already made) the action Switch should get Buy and actioncode SI, and Subsc should get Buy and actioncode SA
(When the button is pushed I have a autofilter that hides either all the sell or all the buy)
IMPORTANT: There is NO range!! the list goes on, and changes so I need it to work on x amount of rows. !

I'd like to adapt my macro so that it would insert a blank row after it detects the the first 16 characters of text as "'Closing Balance"; or it could even detect "'Closing" as the first 8 characters if it would be simpler
The Data Begins in Row 5 of Column A
My Current Macro is as below which I have adapted from another one I used
It is not working since it is detecting for the exact text "'Closing Balance" whereas the data registry would write "'Closing Balance as at 31/10/2009" , of which the "as at dd/mm/yyyy" portion would change every time a report is exported, but the first part "'Closing Balance" or even just the word "'Closing" will always be the same.

I have a workbook with single sheet called Fronpage. I want to insert a new sheet and rename the sheet based on the character value user specified in R1C1 in the Frontpage, and also would like the new sheet to be the last sheet in the workbook. I have tried to use DDE, and also Macro recording to do it. It didnt work out. Can anyone have any code to do it ?

I regularly run a report that comes out in a slightly different format each time depending on whether or not there is data for specific criteria. for instance (sample attached): criteria a, b, and c are in rows, 1, 2, and 3 in columns. a, b, and c are expected to repeat themselves several times. if there is no data in one instance of b then you may see something like abcacabc.
I'd like to loop through each row in column a, check to make sure that it is the correct value (either a, b, or c) and if not, insert a blank row so I can then copy the data to my final project without having to worry about formatting.
the example above would then become abca cabc

I am designing a from with a variable number of titles. The user should be able to insert a title into a column by typing in the title that he wants into a text box, and pressing a command button that I have created ( named add). The problem arises when I try to get the text to lie vertically as opposed to horizontally (in the cell, not as a text box. If this can only be done as a textbox, let me know). Is there any way to do this?

I have a worksheet with several thousand rows. During a month new entries are added at the bottom of the previous entries. One of the columns for each entry is a stock symbol and I've written a macro to enable going quickly to any specific stock symbol's location by searching for the symbol.
Once a month I select rows for some of the new entries for a given symbol, cut the relevant rows, activate the macro to find the location of other entries of the same symbol, and then "Insert Cut Cells" so as to move the new rows to the same area as other similar older entries.
What I was finding was that activating the macro was causing a recalculation of the workbook, which delays the macro from finding the symbol in question. This was getting bothersome, so I avoided the delay by adding an Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual to the beginning of the macro, and at the end of the macro I reset the Calculation back to Automatic.
This eliminates the delay, in finding the old symbol, but it also clears out whatever memory location was storing the cut cells, so that I don't have the "Insert Cut Cells" option available once I get to the found location.
So, currently I have either: A) a quick find of the symbol, but I can't use the "Insert Cut Cells" feature, or B) I have a delay in the finding, but am able to Insert.
how I can have the quick find of the macro but still retain the ability to Insert the cut cells ?

Macros that will insert formulas into cells, and I've been able to modify the macros to insert additional (simpler) formulas well enough on my own. But I can't seem to find the pattern of where to put the quotation marks! Here's the macro code that will enter my formula, including the formula (and the portion of code that the debugger highlights):
r.Offset(, 1).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(rc[-1]"",""'Blend List'""!""A2"":""E250"",5,FALSE)"
And here's the code in it's entirety:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim r As Range
If Intersect(Target, Columns("d")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
For Each r In Intersect(Target, Columns("d"))
If r.Row 1 Then
If Not IsEmpty(r.Value) Then...........
