Editing Existing Text In Multiple Cells Macro

Aug 6, 2009

i have a list of about 20,000 phone numbers that I need to edit.

all start
01 123456
01 123457
01 123458 etc

I am trying to create a macro that will change them to

+001123456
+001123457
+001123458 Etc

However, no matter what I try it always comes out as

+001123456
+001123456
+001123456

F2 Copy and paste is going to take me forever, and I am sure that there must be a quicker way to do this.


this is my first time creating macros so am completly lost.
I want to keep the text that is in the cell that I am editing, just add the country code and delete the space.

Append Text To Existing Cell Text

Apr 1, 2008

I've got a sheet in which I want a drop down box, to ADD the value* to a cell, not overwriting its current value!

*The name of the selected option in the drop down box, the names are located in Map3!A1-n, I set the drop down box to display the related number in a cell next to it.

The cell would contain some text, and by selecting something in the drop down box, it would add the name of that option to the already existing value in the cell.

So if at first the cell's value is


Hi! I 'm Mark,

and you select the following option from the dropdown box


I 'm from Holland!

the cell would end with the value


Hi! I 'm Mark, I'm from Holland!

This would probably work with a macro, already made a start with it but I couldn't get it to ADD the value instead of overwriting it.

Macro Of Formula That Shows Character Location Number Of Text File

Aug 14, 2014

I am looking for a way to show the character location number of a text file, possibly in the first row or a macro that I can run at any given location that will give me the location # I am currently viewing.

Currently, when I open the file I can see the character # at the opening screen (see attached file) but they disappear when it actually converts. I would like to be able to keep the character location ruler once the file is opened in Excel so I don't have to manually count.

Open A Wrapped Text Cell To First Character

Dec 12, 2009

I have to edit text cells (lots of them) containing approximatley 40 lines of text (screen width) - generally the edit will be done on lines 1-5

When I click on a cell, Excel is opening approximately half-way thru the text

I have to Ctrl Home to get to first line on each cell.

Is there a way I can set Excel 7 so that it opens the cell on the first line, first character of the text?

Dermine Value Of Cell Number Preceeded With Text Character

Apr 1, 2008

I've tried and tried and I con not get it right. In A1 I have a validation, it onlu allows to enter a 6-digit number between 100000-899999 or the same numbers with the letter I in front, that is I100000-I899999. Now I need a macro to check that cell F2 is not empty if the value in Cell A1 is above 299999. And this should also apply if there is an I in front. The function for the validation is:

=IF(AND(LEFT(A17)="I";--MID(A17;2;6)>100000;--MID(A17;2;6)<900000);OCH(A17>100000;A17<900000))

The code I have is:

If Range("A" & i).Value > "299999" Then
If Range("F" & i).Value = "" Then
MsgBox "Indicator missing on row " & i
Application.Goto .Range("F" & i)
Exit Sub
End If
End If

It works wor the nubers without the I but it demands a vlaue in F on all I numbers and I only want it for >I299999.

Conditional Formatting - Highlight Cell Containing Specific Character Within Text

Jul 26, 2013

I have an excel spread sheet & I wish to highlight any cell that contains any of the following characters with in a string of text.

/ : * " < > ? |

E.g. a cell in the spread sheet containing the text "Is this a Question?" would be highlighted.

I have tried to use - 'Format only cells that contain' > Specific Text > Containing > for each of the characters and this does not work.

When I do this any cell containing any text is highlighted.

In addition there is formatting on any cell > 60 characters which turns the cell red and this works fine.

What would happen if (when I get the problem above resolved), a cell is > than 60 characters & contains a character listed above?

Does 1 formatting take precedent over another?

(Not critical to know the answer to the additional question, just curious - as long as it is highlighted one colour or another then no problem.)

Macro To Delete One Character In A Cell

Oct 2, 2007

I'm trying to use Excel 2003 macros for the first time and am very frustrated by it's recorder function. I've used several standalone TSR macro recorders several years ago and they were much easier but certainly not as feature rich.

I have a spreadsheet that I've been using for a couple of years where I have manually entered data. My company has recently started to dump data into an Excel sheet but instead of pure numeric or date values being used they are extracting the values with the ' character starting the value. I want to strip this ' character.

What I do is select the cell I want to edit and invoke the macro. Then press {F2} to edit the contents of the cell, {Home} to move to the left, {Del} to delete the first character - the apostrophe, and {Enter} to complete the edit and move down one cell.

Using the recorder captures the following. Unfortunately it doesn't simply delete the first character, it copies the value of the previous cell to the next cell when I invoke the macro again.

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.

Excel 2010 :: Macro To Copy 3 Cell Values And Append To Existing Database File

May 14, 2014

I'd like my macro (in an Excel 2010 workbook) to copy values from three worksheet cells and append them to an existing Access or SQL database file -- without having to leave my Excel spreadsheet or open any other programs. The database file simply needs to be appended. Keeping a running list. That file isn't being used for anything else, we can set it up however is necessary to do this.

For example, Excel cells A1, A2, and A3. Representing Job Name, Job Number and Job Total.

how make VBA do this(in SIMPLE terms)? Or give me a link of where to look or what to search for? I understand VBA but not Access or SQL.

Creating ActiveCell Range And Checking That Range For Specific Character?

Mar 14, 2013

I have a custom email creation template I am merging with another version. The problem I am having is wrapping my head around not only selecting a range that is offset from ActiveCell (column 6-9) but seeing if there is an "x" in that range which is normally blank. My previous attempts identify the "x" but adds the text every time it is found. (Each column is a flag for an email bullet and they can have all four bullets in the email where I only want the text included ONCE if they have ANY bullets included). I use the range because I do not want the text included if none of the bullets are used.

Teh StandHTML then gets used in the body of the email like other HTML items I use

The email is generated using the ActiveCell.Offset to insert special text, emails and routing and has weathered alot of changes over time.

Dim Myrange As Range
Myrange = Range(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 6), ActiveCell.Offset(0, 9)).Select
If Myrange = "x" Then
StandHTML = StandHTML & "Important Text"
End If

Userform To Add Text To Existing Text In Row

Apr 16, 2014

I have a userform ("UserForm12"). It has a ComboBox ("ComboBox1"), and 2 Textboxes ("Textbox1" and "Textbox2), and 1 commandbutton ("Commandbutton1"). What I am looking for is the ComboBox to populate with all items on WS "Recommendations" in columnA starting at Row8 (this needs to be dynamic to adjust for when items are added to end). The user will select the item in the combobox then fill out "Textbox1" and "Textbox2". The user will then hit "Commandbutton1". This will take "Textbox1" and "Textbox2" to the columnR cell of the same row of the columnA value chosen in the combobox. It will be formatted as such:

"TodaysDate" + "Textbox1" + ":" + "Textbox2"

Todays Date will be in "mm/dd/yy" format.

The catch here is that These columnR cells already have text. My goal was for it to at this date onto the end of the existing text hopefully while using the ALT+ENTER function which skips it to the next line in the cell.

Creating A New Sheet From An Existing Sheet

Apr 20, 2006

I am trying to figure out the best way to go about creating a new sheet from an existing sheet which has column titles. I guess the best thing for me to do is give an example of what I would like to have accomplished.

sheet A has the following:
title1 title2 title3 title4 title5
a b c d e

I would like sheet B to be created with:
sometitlez sometitley sometitlex
b d e

so basically, I would like to map tiltel2 to sometitlez, title4 to sometitley, and title5 to sometitlex

the reason I am doing this little project is so that I can import the new worksheet to a mysql database with only the necessary information. Please note that sheet A may contain many rows and the converted sheet B will have many rows too.

Extract Text After Last Specified Character

Aug 15, 2007

I have a cell in my worksheet with a fully qualified filename like 'D:abcDefGHIJklxyz123.app

I would like to extract only the xyz123.app. Obviously, the number of characters is going to vary based on the filename. The find and search functions appear to locate the cell but not the substring in the text. The right and left appear to work based on number of characters and in my case these are varying. Also, there does not appear to be any function that can do a search a string from right to left.

Reading One Character Of Text

Apr 18, 2009

The following code reads text one character at a time, and each character is determined either to be a blank space or to be any other character. If it's determined to be any other character, then the character is added to the active cell. If it's determined to be a blank space, then the active cell becomes the cell one column over. The idea is to have different words written in columns next to each other.

The sample text file I'm reading from reads: "text file". The file has only those two words. One space between them. No space before the first word, and no space after the second word. The following code compiles and runs. BUT the result is that the word "text" is in column k, not A. And the word "file" is in column J, not b.

Stop Text At A Character?

Jul 4, 2012

I have a list of over 300+ email addresses. If there is a way that I could pull out the ".com" (Find & Replace: Which is not working in any format, Text, Custom, General.) then pull out the text from the right to left until I get to the "@" into another cell and drag that down that would make it so much easier. Is there a formula that will pull data and then stop at a CHAR code? @ =CHAR(64) These email addresses are all different lengths. (personal to corporate email addresses.)

Example: moe10134@hotmail.com

Looking for something like this: Replace ".com", =LEFT(9) or whatever will take out the "moe10134@" and the ".com" leaving only hotmail.
