I have test.txt file. The data in test.txt file so messy (there are headers and some data lines start with letter "A" and need to ignore). There's no <TAB> in data file, all are single space and <enter>. I can do nothing about data files.
Task:
Open test.txt file
SUM all product quantity, put result in xls file in A1
SUM all Total price in the txt file, put in xls file (same file) in B1
Close test.txt file
The data is arranged as such, there are a list of call types and in another column, there are a list of call lengths. Currently I have a COUNTIF which searches the call type column for certain call types ie BA is off peak but this only tells me how many off peak calls they have made, I need to make it tell me how many minutes of off peak calls there are.
IE this is an example
Call Types Call Lengths (minutes)
BA 1
BA 1
BA 3
BA 2
at the moment my formula would only count this as 4 but I need it to calculate it as 7. This is a very big data set containing around 900 entries per sheet.
Example:............
Where all question 1 fields are put into a row, 2 in another row, etc (this may be more than 2 sets of questions), grouped by the name field. I have had a look at Pivot tables but they dont seem to do what Im after.
I've created a humongous spreadsheet in Excel- 26 million cells and a file size of about 500mb. The result of these calculations is a pattern derived by conditional formatting. I'd like to get the pattern into Photoshop- It would actually simplify image manipulation in Photoshop to lose the cell data, and the underlying formulas are of no use.
The file seems to be too big to save into a PDF file. Is there another way to get the Image into Photoshop?. The other alternative is to reduce the file size by stripping out unnecessary cell data and formulas without losing the pattern.
I have a small table, 6 rows, 2 columns which looks something like:
Apples 3
Pears 1
Bananas 0
Cherries 2
Oranges 1
Grapes 1
The total sum of column B will always be 8.
What I want to produce is a range, say d1:d8 which reproduces the data in a format like:
Apple
Apple
Apple
Pear
Cherry
Cherry
Orange
Grape
i.e. responding to the number of items in the former table specified.
I'm sure it can be done with some long stringed If statements mixed with counts, but do any of you have any good ideas for formulas in d1:d8?
Data manipulation question here: how to dynamically filter and sort a multi-column data set? My end goal is to be able to (1) quickly collapse all columns into one single column, (2) remove all duplicates, and (3) sort the information in ascending order. A reference sheet is attached in case it's useful.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need to be able to take someones name which is in a single cell in the format "First Middle Last" (could be more than one middle name) and then split it up so that it fits the following format:
Last name (must be 50 characters)
Middle name (must be 15 characters)
First Name (must be 15 characters)
I'm unsure on the right combination of operators to use to variably concatenate strings in this way. I'm confident I can figure out how to add the white spaces after a name to make it fit the character requirement but I don't know how to split the initial name up into it's 3 parts. Names longer than the character requirement will just be truncated.

I am looping through and copying screens of mainframe data and appending them to the clipboard. Once done, I start a Notepad and paste it for future massaging. Now I need to perform a check on each screen which requires copying something from the screen, assigning to a variable, and checking it. This overwrites what I've already stored on the clipboard. Is there a way to store what I've got on the clipboard, then use the clipboard for something else, and then reload the clipboard?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that loops through a column of text and removes all text after a hyphen. Example: AU9929-PK becomes AU9929. I need to set up some exceptions that when it processes certain text it does not truncate it. Example: AU9929-ASST stays as AU9929-ASST. So far there are twelve exceptions but this could increase.
Note: The list which includes shop number, description, sku, sku description, quantity, unit price and more is sorted in a particular order as other operations are performed on it that requires it be in a specific order.

I am trying to let the user call my subroutine in the following 5 ways but am lost using string manipulation -
Call FindReplaceAll(C, 123, 1.23) In Col C replace 123 with 1.23
Call FindReplaceAll(2, 123, 1.23) In Row 2 replace 123 with 1.23
Call FindReplaceAll(C:E, 123, 1.23) In Col C-E replace 123 with 1.23
Call FindReplaceAll(2:4, 123, 1.23) In Rows 2-4 replace 123 with 1.23
Call FindReplaceAll(C9:E19, 123, 1.23) In region C9-E9 replace 123 with 1.23
Here is what I am trying to do in psudo
Sub FindReplaceAll(sType As String, sFind As String, sReplace As String)
If sType does not have a colon in it then
If sType = A-IV or sType = a-iv only then
Columns(sType &:& sType).Select
If sType = 1-65000 then
Rows(sType &:& sType).Select
Else
Is it possible to create a formula that looks at a cell (say A20) and if TRUE changes the colour of A22 to green if false to red?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a file with a physician name and title in the cell as follows:
"James A. Jones, M.D."
I need a formula to reverse the last name, drop the title "M.D.", get rid of any additional periods after the middle initial and put it in upper case:
"JONES, JAMES A"
There are some names without middle initials also so this may present an additional problem.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a sizable spreadsheet, which has one column where the cells are mostly numeric strings of up to 6 numbers - there are variations, which I will mention.
What I need to do, is to treat the numbers as individual figures, and add them, then divide by the number of figures. e.g. cell value '123456' I need to process as (1+2+3+4+5+6)/6.
The variations are that '0' has to be added as 10, and any letters need to be added as 12. '-' and '/' which are the only non-alphanumeric values should be ignored.
My pivot table is not auto summing each column properly, and I can't manually enter a formula to do so. I tried adjusting the settings of the rows and columns through the pivot table wizard, but no luck. Is there a way around this limitation?
View 6 Replies View Relatedi have a worksheet called 'week 1' and want to write vba code so that a new sheet called 'week 2' can be created.

I have a program that updates values quarterly when run. The spreadsheet that it works with also contains a couple of pie charts that correspond to the updated data. the charts only have one series with category values. I recorded a macro to see the code excel uses for creating a new chart and tried to modify the statements to my needs but have been running into runtime error 1004 ("Method ' Cells' of Object '_Global' failed"). The code is as follows I don't have any trouble until the last two statements.
Sub Chart_Updater()
Sheets(Chart1var).Select
With ActiveChart
.HasTitle = True
If Chart1var = "COLI VUL 1 Fund Chart" Then
.ChartTitle.Text = "COLI VUL 1 Allocation by Fund Provider " _
& sday & "-" & sday & "-" & Lyear
ElseIf Chart1var = "COLI VUL 2 Fund Chart" Then
.ChartTitle.Text = "COLI VUL 2 Allocation by Fund Provider " _
& sday & "-" & sday & "-" & Lyear
ElseIf Chart1var = "COLI VUL 7 Fund Chart" Then
.ChartTitle.Text = "COLI VUL 7 Allocation by Fund Provider " _
The variables fundtr1, fundtr2, and emptycolvar are public, and are all returning values, so there is no problem there. Also I can't use ranges like "A1:F7" because the range needs to be variable.
I have a table which is extracted from a database using 2 tables.

I have a blank file and a data file for current year with formulas.
So I am trying to take a couple of tabs from current year data file and pasting them into the blank file.
My question when is do that all the formulas get referenced to the current years file. i want to keep the same formulas but reference the tabs on blank file.
Is there a quicker way to do this rather and going into all the cells and changing reference from current years files data to blank files data.
I have a template file for ordering trafolyte and steel plates. I have added macros to this template file. The existing macros do the following (shortly described):
Macro 1: clears order
Macro 2: update order date + send a read only file to the supplier of plates + save a read only copy of the file into one of three folders acc to info in one of the cells.
It's the Macro 2 I want to edit.
I want to add a "function" which copy a selection of data.column A to N from row 12 to 548 but only the rows where there is a value in column A.
Row 1 to 11 includes standard order info and Macro buttons.
Row 11 includes the heading for order data.
For everytime someone click on the Macro 2 button in the template file, I want the selection to be paste into the first "available" row in a "Total list" file.
The "Total list" file may have to be open (or a function to open, paste selection and then close the "Total list" file may be added)
File and Folder info:
To simplify suggestions, the following file and path info can be used (I can change to the correct later):
Template file name: template_order.xlsm
Template file location: \servershared emplate
Total list file name: total_list.xlsx
Total list file location: \servershared otal
Selection info:
The template file exists of a "general order info area" A1:N10
The column heading for order data is located at A11:N11
The selection to be copied is A12:N550 - But only rows where column A includes data (not empty).
(If the spesific order consists of 14 plates than there will be item no 1-14 in column A and I then I want to copy A12:N25 (row 25 will be item 14).
When I try to use record macro it looks like it only records what's happening in the template file - It doesn't record the pasting in the total list.
The code below looks at file names in column A and then goes to a folder and opens and copies the data in range c2 -lastrow from each file and pastes the data into sheet2.
how I could add to the code so that it also inserts the file name in column c?
It would make it easier to track the data in column B.
VB:
Sub CopyFromFile()
Dim fPath As String
Dim lRow As Long
[Code].....
I have attached a sample workbook. The list of file name is in sheet 1. An example of the output is in sheet 2. The data in column A is dummy data generally spans 100's of rows not just 10 as in the example.
The purpose of the code is to be able to put a list of file names in column a in sheet 1 and extract data from those files in a folder. The data extraction works fine. The reson for adding the file names is so that I know what file the data came from.
This is a sample of the data with which I am working. I know that a macro can do what I need, but I am only versed in Excel formulas and not that much programming. I need to be able to first sort the data by Column C ("Element Type"), then by Columns E, F, G ("Year", "Month", "Day"). Then, I need to be able to copy all rows that have the same "Element Type" and "Year" to a new file, using the same header from the original spreadsheet on each new spreadsheet - doing this multiple times until the end of the file is reached.
Ideally, the new files would have a strict naming convention: XXXXXX-ZZZZ (YYYY).xls, where the X's are the value of the "COOP Station ID" in Column A, the Z's are the "Element Type" from Column C, and the Y's are the "Year" from Column E. If this theoretical macro were run with the Sample Data file I provided, it should result in the creation of five new workbooks. Is there a way to write a macro to do this, or at least something similar

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there is a way to write a macro that will take an excel file that I have called Alldata and then have it copy the first two sheets to a new workbook named something else( FullSparameter_0) and then copy the name of the third and fourth sheet into the new FullSparameter_0 workbook and then copy column A-E from sheet dB Alldata.xls and paste it into the FullSparameter_0.xls workbook in the same dB sheet in the same spot. And do the same thing with the Phase Sheet. i know this sounds confusing, but im really new to the VBA stuff.
I just need 15 different files from the original Alldata.xls that will be named FullSparameter_0, FullSparameter_1, .., FullSparameter_14. but each file will have the same two first sheets, Setup Information and Cal Verification, and the same last two sheet names, dB and Phase, but then in the dB and phase sheets, it will copy over the next four columns of data. so in FullSparameter_0 it will have column A-E from sheet dB in Alldata.xls in the dB sheet in FullSparameter_0 (Same with the Phase Sheets). Then in FullSparameter_1 it will have column A and Columns F,G,H and I (for dB and Phase). In fullSparameter_2 it will have column A and then J,K,L and M. Each FullSparameter_X will have the exact same first two sheets and then the other columns for the last two sheets will be pasted into columns A-E in dB and Phase.
I have a base excel file for summarizing some data, the problem is that the data comes from a different excel spreadsheet. What I want to do is make a function that pulls the data from another spreadsheet into my base file. It would be easy if it were just one excel sheet, but this job would require where the data is pulled from a data file which has many modified versions.
Can anyone tell me how to do this? The files with the data will be structured the exact same but with different data entered in. I just want a button so I can click the file I want the data from and have it show up on my summarizing base file.
