Delete Contents After First Four Letters

May 12, 2009

I am looking for a code that will search the contents for every row in Column B and count the first four letters, any other letters, which come after the first four letters; I would like the code to delete them. For example. If “Sell now” were in cell B1 it would become "Sell" or if “Vend later” were in cell B2 it would become “Vend”, and so on.

How To Delete 3 Last Letters From A Cell In Excel

Oct 16, 2013

I need to delete the last 3 character from a colon, but the problem is that the Colon will be deleted after.

Let me explain:

National
453386855

National
453386567

National
453388587

With the formula =LEFT(A2,LEN(A2)-3)

I will have this:

National
453386855
453386

National
453386567
453386

National
453388587
453388

But I need to delete the second colon, and I will have this:

National

#VALUE!

National

#VALUE!

National

#VALUE!

Delete Blank Rows :: That Don't Contain Visible Numbers Or Letters

Oct 13, 2009

I'm trying to clean up several long worksheets by removing rows that don't contain a visable number or letter.

I want to remove all rows that only contain either empty cells, formulas that evaluate to a empty text string (""), cells that contain error values, or cells that contain zeros, or any combination of the previous.

I've stumbled onto the following, but it does not work.

Macro To Delete Entire Row If First 2 Letters In Column B Equals To P4

Mar 29, 2013

I've seen a few examples of macros to delete the row if the first letter is something, but not if the first 2 is equal to something.

I'm looking to go thru every row that contains data and look in Column B to see if it starts with P4 or P5. If that's true, then delete the entire row.

DELETE CONTENTS If There Is Nothing In The Cell

Mar 14, 2008

What I need to do is starting at cell E251 of the Cheque Logging Sheet I need the code to check the cell for any contents and if there is nothing in the cell then DELETE THE CONTENTS then move to cell E250 and do the same all the way up to E2

My ACCESS problem is that even if the cells in Column E contain nothing the only way that I can upload the spreadsheet to Access is by deleting the contents of the empty cells. Currently I am doing this manually but I would rather sit back and have VBA do it for me...

Clear Contents Vs Delete

Apr 24, 2007

I've been pressing on with my project and figured out that I really do not know the difference between Deleting and Clear contents. I really thought they were the same but am now unsure. I guess I have 2 questions. Which is better to use? what I'm doing is removing old data and importing new data. and which is more efficient for writing code.

Sheets("Bodies"). Range("A2:Z65000").ClearContents

Sheets("bodies").Range("a2:Z65000").Delete

Delete Contents From Multiple Rows

Dec 29, 2012

I'm trying to put together functionality which allows the user to remove cell content within a selected row. I've chosen to remove the cell content rather than to delete the whole row because I need to maintain the 'Input Range'.

The code below is the script which I've put together to clear the cell contents.

Code:
Sub DelRow()
Dim msg
Sheets("Input").Protect "password", UserInterFaceOnly:=True
Application.EnableCancelKey = xlDisabled
Application.EnableEvents = False
msg = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to delete this row?", vbYesNo)

[Code] ........

The code works fine if the user selects one row. However, if the user selects mutliple rows, although the text values are removed from all rows, only the 'Interior Color' is removed from the first rather than all and I'm not sure why.

Formula To Delete Cell Contents After Use

Feb 28, 2007

I need a formula that would scan a given column for data, get the first available data from the first available cell ( D1 ), perform computation, input result in a different cell ( A1 ) and then delete the contents of D1 and move on the D2 and so on till end of data. So far I have been able to have the result in A1 but could not achieve the deletion of D1 contents. The purpose is to prevent the formula from scanning the data column from D1 again. In this way, the datawould be made available in one column and when the data have been processed the column would be empty and the result would be in another column.

I would like to move the serial number down one row, delete the now empty first row, delete the following 2 empty rows, and then loop to do the same thing again for all 9000 rows of the spreadsheet.

Delete Rows Based On Cell Contents

Aug 29, 2007

I have merged two workbooks into one. What I need to do at this point is to delete all rows that have a duplicate entry, basically anytime the cell content in one cell matches the cell content in the cell right below or above it, BOTH rows should be deleted. At this point, this is above my VBA skills so I'm asking for help in how to do this. The stripped version of the workbook is attached (only 100 rows) but in reality this is a huge workbook with almost 22,000 rows.

You will notice in the attached workbook, that cell contents for A2 and A3 match. For what I need to do, I need both rows (2 and 3) to be deleted. If you go down a bit, starting in row 89 all the contents in column A are unique so those need to remain.

Modify Macro In Excel / Transpose - Delete Contents - Skip X Rows - Repeat?

Mar 7, 2013

I have a list in Excel, and it has the company in one column, and it's information in the next x rows until there is a blank row (4-7 rows). I get that you can copy the rows under the Company, transpose next to the company, and then delete the contents of the cells that you just took the data from, but I have 6200 rows do to this to, for 500+ companies. I tried recording a macro for two entries, and this is what I have (see below), but how do I modify this so that I don't need to type in every single range, and it will do it to the whole column? The data is in column A, I am posting in column B.

Basics for Macro Requirement:

1. Find the blank cell in row A
2. Skip the next cell/row (this is the company)
3. Select all the cells beneath the company cell, until it reaches the blank cell underneath
4. Copy, transpose these cells next to the Company cell (transpose in column B)
5. Delete the contents in row A that were just transposed
6. Find the next cell with data (company)
7. Repeat Steps 2-6

My recorded Macro:

Sub Macro2()
'
' Macro2 Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+q
'
Range("A3:A8").Select

Column Letters- VBA Command To Get The Letters

Nov 17, 2009

Is there a VBA command to get the letters, instead of the numbers, of the column of a selected cell?

I have to letter a list whihc means setting up a loop using character codes.

I may have to go into double letters so I am working on how I would set up the loop for if and when it gets past 90 and starts on double letters. so far the highest is the letter "U"

of course the easiest would be to pick up a column value as a letter

NT values do not get a number

A_____ _____NT###
B_____1_______C####
C_____2_______RMK###
D____ _______NT####

i am guessing the loop might involve some arithmetic test between the count and the character set 65-90. or maybe a mod thing.
