I have tried searching for a way for VBA to recognise in VBA if a cell contains any text, but most of my searches respond to specific cases for specific characters in a string
Basically, I'm just looking for the correct way to word a string of code that if it detects any text in column B (col 2 ) then it should not do anything, else it should cut the value in col 2 and paste it in col 8
How can I interrogate the contents of a cell to determine whether or not it contains a number formatted as text? I intend to run a .value = .value over each such cell to convert it to a number format, but I only want to do this to relevant cells.

=AND(F15="R*", I15>0)
I want to know if F15 contains 'R' or 'RW' but using a wildcard always returns false whether this correct or not.
I have the following formula (taken from the web) in my spreadsheet which let me know if a cell have bold text or not. But when the cell has 'mingled' text, i.e. only partly bold, he gave a #VALUE error.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am using excel VBA userform and have the following elements:
1) .textboxA
2) .textboxB
3) .commandbutton_insertdate
(clicking on this button will insert today's date into either textboxA or textbox B. I use an accelerator 'D' so user can use Alt+D to insert the date conveniently.)
My question is: How can I determine which text box (A or B) is in focus when i execute Alt+D?
My objectives are: When focus is on textboxA, and user Alt+D, today's date will be inserted into textboxA When focus is on textboxB, and user Alt+D, today's date will be inserted into textboxB
My problem is: It seems that when I use Alt+D, the focus will jump to the command button instead, so none of the text box are in focus!
i need a formula that looks up a range on sheet 1 coloum a and returns the value in column b, unless the value in column c is less than 5 letters long/ or not equal to a time format if this is the case it should return the value in column c
[code]
=IF(LEN(VLOOKUP(A6,'look up'!A6:C18,3,FALSE)>6),VLOOKUP(A6,'look up'!A6:C18,3,FALSE),VLOOKUP(A6,'look up'!A6:C18,2,FALSE))

this is my effort but it returns value in the the middle every time
I'm looking for a formula that can determine whether a given sub-string appears in a string. For example if cell A1 contains the string "bathing", and cell A2 contains the sub-string "bat", the formula in A3 would return "TRUE".
However, if the sub-string in A2 is changed to "cat", the result in A3 would be "FALSE". The formula would need to work with strings of different and unpredictable lengths.
I have a Userform that allows the user to input a country from a combobox which after clicking a button writes that data into Cell AH11 in the excel spreadsheet, what I need is for Cell AI11 to read what has been entered into Cell AH11, look up whether or not that country is on a list I have and enter a yes or a no if it is or it isn't on that list.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to write a function that goes out and reads a cell, waits a few seconds, then reads the cell again, since it is constantly changing. Then report back the difference between the two readings of the same cell. The following code does not work since t0 and t1 always come back the same value.
Code:
Function ReadTime(t)
t0 = t
DoEvents
Application.wait Now() + TimeValue("00:00:15")
t1 = t
ReadTime = t1 - t0

I am working on a spreadsheet where individuals must enter a value between 1 - 4 or n/a. I would like to include a formula for each question where if they enter a value between 1-4, this scores 1 and if they enter n/a this scores 0. Does anyone know a simple formula I could use, I have tried IF formulas but keep getting muddled.
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan anyone help me in finding how to write the command in VBA to determine what Cell was selected in a worksheet? The objective is to know what Cell has been selected by double click event to pop up a userform with a calendar from which the user can select the date.

Can this be achieved? I guess yes, but how?
I have a column (Column B) that contains some free text and I have another column (column K, rows 3 to 12) that contains a series of keywords.
What I would like to be able to do is if column B contains one of the keywords in column K then that keyword is placed in column C.
There will only ever be one keyword per row.
I'm trying to create a VBA module that will update data. However, I need it to skip any updates to data that has been set by the user. For simplicity, the user changes will be bold.

I am trying to write an "IF" scenerio.
I want to be able to control what is put in a cell based what is placed in another cell.
For example.
I want to be able to only enter a credit/debit in B1 based by what I type in A1.
If any cell in column A is any of these numbers (41,47,48,49,50,51,52,60,61,65,68,63,67,69) then any number entered in a cell in column B can only be a positive number. If any cell in column A is any of these numbers (40,42,43,44,45,46,52,53,55,56,57,64,62,66) then any number entered in a cell in column B must be a negative number.
So if A1 is 41 then B1 must be positive (debit).
If A4 is 42 then B4 must be negative (credit).
Basically, I want a formula that searches for more than one word anywhere within a cell, and if the cell contains any of those words somewhere in it then I want to display a value, but if the words aren't there, then stay blank.
For example, my cell could say: "Magenta, Rose, Lime, Lavendar". I want to search this cell for any of the these words: "Lime", "Forest" or "Teal". If any of these appear, I then want the cell with this formula to say "Green".
I know the formula to search for only one word /phrase in a cell, I use: =(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("yellow",A1)),"colour","-")), (i.e. if the word "yellow" appears anywhere in cell A1, then this cell will show the word "colour", if not then a "-".) I tried adding an 'OR' function in this to search multiple words but it didn't seem to work.
How do I determine a cell's type (e.g., numeric or string or formula) and if numeric, the format (e.g., currency, general, scientific) including the number of decimal places.
Is there a function that returns the object's properties? Must I use isnumeric, isformula, and so on or is there one function that returns this information?
I need to take a specific action when a cell has an actual formula in it versus when it just has a "value". Is there a procedure or command which will allow me to identify if a certain cell has a "formula" (like =sum(a1: a5) ) or just a value.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a large collection of datasets, sorted/grouped by rows. I need to perform some calculations against these SETS (Ave, Low, Median, etc.).
The number of member in each SET is variable (1 to NN), the number of SET Members is included in the data. Example:
Code:
3 Data Sets:
Row Set Members Price Ave
1 A 4 $1.00
2 A 4 $1.25
3 A 4 $1.50
4 A 4 $1.75
5 B 1 $4.00
6 C 3 $10.45
7 C 3 $14.50
8 C 3 $17.75
how to compute the AVE value for each SET above?
I am thinking if I can determine the FIRST Row number for each set, add the MemberQty as an ~offset to determine the LAST Row, then use an Indirect reference to compute the ave, something like:
=AVERAGE(INDIRECT("D"&A1&":D"&A1+C1)) The SET's Ave value should be added to EACH row in each SET.
I am struggling trying to point a formula like this to the First Row of the NEXT set.
Is there a way using a macro to determine which cells have a dropdown list and then retrieve the name?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn VBA code, what's the simplest way to verify whether a cell is a member of a pivot table or not? I have a complicated way of doing this by checking if creating a formula in another cell with a reference to the cell in question generates the GETPIVOTDATA function; however, it seems like there should be a much simpler way.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've searched the forumn but have found no resolution to my dilema. I'm trying to accomplish the following:
I would like to apply an Alternate number to a job that meets a certain criteria. The criteria is based on a Marker, which should be automatically determined based on the count of total jobs that are Estate or Custom. The Alternate number needs to be applied to certain % of the Jobs. What I've done is to get the count of jobs Estate or Custom then based on the count I have applied the Alternate % to determine the actual number of jobs that should have the marker applied. Here is where I need the help. The next step would be be to apply the marker to the number of jobs. I'm not sure how I can accomplish this task. Attached is an excel spreadsheet with an example of what I'm trying to achieve as well as what the end result should look like.
It's been awhile since I've done this...and I tried searching for the solution but to no avail.

The largest value is in cell C5, so I would like C6 to show that it is by entering a 1 in there.
