Creating VBA Macro That Changes Specific String To A Number
Jul 7, 2012
I am having some difficulty with a pdf that I converted to an excel document because I wanted to use the data from the pdf tables in a different program I am currently working on. However, the data is in the improper format. For example, in the table it reads 2-1/8 as string and I want it to be the number value 2.125 . Likewise if the value in the table reads 5-1/4 I want it to automatically convert it to something that will be read as the number 5.25
I was wondering if someone could help me generate a Macro to do the following:
I have a sheet with the following characteristics.
Column A, rows 8-15 contain headers Column A, rows 17-24 contain headers Column A, rows 26-40 contain headers Column B to CV, row 6 may or may not contain an "X" Column B to CV, rows 8-15 & 17-24 & 26-40 may or may not contain the various data
I need a macro which does the following on the press of a button located somewhere on the sheet: Generate a .TXT file in the folder C:Test with the name "Test_YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS_Full.txt" which uses the system time and date to fill in the values In the TXT file the following data should be created: ....
So I have this list (I made it a little bit shorter).
So what you see is two different tasks (01 and 02) and three different conditions (A, B and C). In column B you see the result I would like to have. '/Searchtask_01.html' in A1 belongs to conditions A, because it is in session A. However, '/Searchtask_01.html' in A10 belongs to conditions B, because it is in session B.
I have an excel workbook with about 40 worksheets. I have a formula in A1 of each sheet that returns a 1 or a 0 depending on whether or not the name of the worksheet is in a list.
What I am trying to do is create a macro that will print all worksheets that have a 1 in A1.
I am trying to write a macro to search a column for a specific text string which when found, will copy the whole row the string is in. Once this row has been copied, I then want the macro to activate a new sheet and search for the next available empty row to paste the data. Once this has been done, go back to the original sheet and find the next cell in the original column with the specified text string and repeat until the range has been satisfied. Below is the script I have that sort of works.
I have created a macro that copies the outcome of a specific calculation (that is driven by random numbers) and pastes it (as values) into a seperate table. It then recalculates the sheet, copies the new outcome and pastes it into the same table at a row beneath the previous one.
However, I would like to be able to determine how many times this loop is repeated (i.e. how many rows of outcomes will be generated) without having to change the macro each time. Is this possible? Maybe by just linking it to a cell where the number of outcomes/repeats is specified.
I have never built or used a macro before and need very clear step by step instructions. I am just assuming that a macro is the answer to what I am looking for but if there is a simplier solution that would be fantastic.
I need to be able to repeat a row of data a specified amount of times.
Example:
3 Yellow James 2 Green Mark 5 Purple Sue 1 Orange David
Needs to look like:
3 Yellow James 3 Yellow James 3 Yellow James 2 Green Mark 2 Green Mark 5 Purple Sue 5 Purple Sue 5 Purple Sue 5 Purple Sue 5 Purple Sue 1 Orange David
I can't use the "" sign as delimiter to separate them into different columns because the age,city,name and height fields are in random positions on different cells.The good thing is person's name will always come after "name" string, age is alwals followed by "age" string, so it cannot be like nameheight40Michigan180
I think the following would be the easiest method(not for me tho).If on B1 I had a formula that said "find the string "name" and write anything after it until you reach the next "" character".On C1 field I could have a formula "find the string "age" and write anything after it until you reach the next "" character.On D1 I would have the same for "height" string,then on E1 for city string.
My question is somewhat similar to this one Extract A String Between Two Characters
Formula which outputs the data between 3rd and 4th instances of the "_" character.Can we substitute "3rd and 4th" with a specific strings like "age" or "height" ?
I can assign a number of copies to print by adjusting ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:= , but what I want it to have the number of copies auto adjust to the value of a cell that contains a formula. I was hoping it would something as simple as Copies:=cell but no luck...
What im trying to do is have a macro that will open a file called Blue 1.xls in location "I:SchedulesBlue" and then copy data from cells N13:034. Then paste it into another excel file (Press.xls)on worksheet "Press Break" cell G14.
The data that is copied not always fills up the cells N13:O34 so I need it to go to the next blank cell in column N and paste the information from file Blue 2, and so on for Yellow 1, Yellow 2, YellNR, and Green.
So to summarise I need a macro to open 6 files copy data from the same location on each of the files(N13:O34) then close and paste it into a master document(Press.xls) worksheet "Press Break".
Wondering if it is possible to generate a random 4 digit number based off an alphanumeric string?
Example;
Cell A1 has 123XVF1234 Cell A2 has 321AFW4321
In B1 I would like to have a 4-6 digit number that is generated based on the alphanumeric data in Cell A1 (and so on down the list). If that is possible, I would also need to be able to convert back the 4-6 digit number back to its original alphanumeric value
Example;
If B1 returns 643562 it would need to be able to be converted back to 123XVF1234
In sheet1 I have a simple database consisting of 5 columns of data
Column A : Name ie James Jones Column B : payroll number ie 123456 Column C : shift times ie 1245-2124 Column D : job title ie floor Column E : comments ie A/L or 0600-1500
what I would like is some code that will go down Column E and if a 'time string' ie 1300-2130 is found then copy this string and paste into corresponding value in column C. If a text string is found ie A/L or Sick or anything like this then ignore and move onto next cell, loop this until all cells in column E have been checked.
I need to create a string of all the Acc Number but I dun not wan any repeat of the same Acc number in the String . The number of Acc number to be put in the string may varies sometimes. It may varies from 3 to 1000 or more . Is there a way to write a general formula to create such string?
I'm trying to check to see if a file exists using VBA but the routines I see use a string that has the path and then the file name. I have a fixed path C:VBtesting and the a variable file name. I'm using a file name that consists of a username & date such as cwilliams201212. I'm having problems getting the variable file name into the string.
I'm trying to use the ActiveSheet Name as the folder name for images being imported into excel. For example, on the Sheet "Sample 1" I want to pull from the File Path "C:Documents and SettingsuserDesktopSample 1"
I'm getting an error, I think this code should work in regular VBA not sure whats wrong in excel?
Code: Dim strSName As String strSName.Text = ActiveSheet.Name Const strPath As String = "C:Documents and SettingsuserDesktop" & strSName & ""
Needing to do a VLOOKUP on two criteria, I have set up a string using "&" to join together the contents of two cells. This is in a workbook with many identical worksheets. The string works for some of the sheets but in others, for reasons I simply cannot fathom, it is returning a #VALUE! error.
I have an excel database where I register cases. I have in it a button that creates a folder with and ID nr that is in column A (I create new ID nr in the next row, when I press the button it will create a folder with that ID nr and inserts a blank word document in it). We have a template that we copy to the folder (depending what type of case). The idea would be that once the template is filled in and ready to print, It would take the values from the ID nr and a reference number a few cells to the right. Is it possible to tell excel to open the word document in the folder and create a PDF version with the ID nr and reference number. (there are only 2 templates, so the macro would have to look for one of the two in the folder) The names of the templates are: "Standard" and "Other". I guess the best way to start maybe this would be that I select the cell with the ID nr and then press a macro button to have this done. One thing that needs to be done, is to put a copy in the same folder and another in a second folder called "Binder" in my documents folder.
Is there a formula that can be used to convert a manufacturing LOT Number to a Date? For example, the first six digits of our Lot Number are the MMDDYY followed by an item description (120913DKP-01). We are trying to pull the 120913 portion out of the lot number to equal a Date of Manufacture of December 9, 2013.
VB code, recorded by macro, it is working, but I need create different workbooks with different names , this one create just one specific name here is the first problem , second would be for saving in desktop folder "Ataskaitos" here another because it just for my computer , on other computer directory would not be found and third , then I deleting existing sheet in workbook from there I run the macro and copy sheet to new workbook it asking if I sure want to delete that sheet, so I don't need asking that I just need to delete it
We collect loan payments for 36 months from customers.
Column A lists 1000+ customers.
Column J lists the date we received payment 1 ... Column Q lists the amount we received on payment 1.
Column R lists the date we received payment 2 ... Column Y lists the amount we received on payment 2.
Column Z lists the date we received payment 3 ... Column AG lists the amount we received on payment 3.
This repeats for all 36 payments.
New customers are loaded in each month, so be aware that Column J, Column R, Column Z (and so on) have dates from 2011 and 2012 and 2013.
We'd like to create a list of all customers that have not made a payment for the current month as of a certain day (say the 12th). So this month, on January 12th, we'd like to search our data for all customers that don't have a payment listed between January 1st - January 12th.
Lets say I need an array of 100 numbers from zero to 100. I want a mean of 75, and SD of 12. Or the same data based on a skewness and kurtosis value. Can I do that in Excel?
I'm just generating fake datasets for my stats class to analyze.
I'm basically creating a file where a userform comes up when you open the workbook, blocks the access to the actual workspace so that no manual entry can be done. What the userform allows you to do is add a new entry to the database (the userform has some text boxes where we type in stuff like location and name or age) after having found the next empty row in the enormous database (3.000 lines)
After having clicked the OK button in the userform and added the data to the database, I would like the userform to have a pop-up message box with specified text like:
"The number assigned to this entry is:" and then I would like to add a variable with excel using the cell in column D of the same row of the new entry. So the end result would be :
For this example, A1 is the given at 19.875 I am trying to get A2 to net a result of 19.5. A2 is to net that result by searching through cells B1:B14 and finding the nearest equal or lower number. If A1 is less than 13.5 a result of "error" should be generated in A2.
i need to make a formula for excel which will verify if my actual value falls within a specific range. for instance if my value is 0.15 and the allowed range is 0.145 to 0.155 then i want to display the number zero in the cell however if the actual number is above or below the range i want to calculate the amount of deviation from the range
I would like to take out the first integer that comes after the word Orange (not case sensitive). I'm kinda at a loss here, how do I go about accomplishing this?
How does one extract a specific sting/words from each cell? Especially if [formatted data] varys in characters (not suitable for regular LEFT, MID, RIGHT functions use).
I want to delete a specific words from string but i have a problem with the code below. For example, i wan to delete the word "Inc" only but the problem with my code is that it is deleting from "Incorporated" too and i want only the code to delete only if it finds the word "Inc" only.
