VB:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()Worksheets("Sheet1").ActivateRange("$B$1").SelectSheets("Sheet1").ScrollArea = "A1:z25"End Sub
Now I want to disable the above such that I am able to add an Apostrophe ( ' ) in front of every line of this Macro. Is there a shortcut for this or do I need to Manually add apostrophe in front of every line? And then after disabling if I need to re-enable it is there a shortcut to that too?
I have a question concerning Macros and the Disable/Enable prompt. My boss has a spreadsheet which has been used for years and he recently wanted to and did remove the macros from the spreadsheet (they were no longer necessary), but the disable/enable prompt still appears when the spreadsheet is opened. I replicated this in a test spreadsheet with a simple insert line macro and received the same results. Is there a way to remove the macros and the disable/enable prompt once they are removed? I know about setting the security to low to not see the prompt, but I would think that once the macros are deleted, the prompt should not appear any more.
I have a vlookup function that requires the lookup values to be text, and I have a long list of numerical lookups.
My problem is that I need to go through all these numbers one cell at a time and change them to text. I've tried the easy way of highlighting the cells and formatting them to text but it doesn't work
All that works is adding an apostrophe at the beginning of the number which is VERY time consuming.
My question...
What is the apostrophe doing and why can't I do the same by highlighting and formatting as text.
An apostrophe has appeared at the beginning of the words and/or numbers in the cells. I have tried using the "Replace" feature to remove these apostrophes and it won't work. I need to remove the apostrophes so I can upload our inventory, as the SKU must be pulled exactly.
I can't remove the apostrophe mark from the cells. There are cells appearing to be blank but they all contain a single apostroph (like this ' ) if I click on them. Whenever I tried to replace them excel said cannot find a match...
I have a formula who examines if they are the same. The last number at first quote is not a problem (the 45). The problem occurs only and allways when the horse's name have an apostrophe " ' ". In first example apostrophe is different from the usual. If i manually delay it and replace it - type keyboards apostrophe everything works fine. Obviusly its a symbol. I want a small macro for replacing all these symbols at, lets say column B ,where these names are located. How can i use substitute at this case?
I have to match up two columns of data from different sources.
In one column the apostrophe is being sorted as a space, in the other it is being ignored.
e.g Col A Misty M'Lady (ignored) Mohayer
Col B M'Lady (read as space) Misty Mohayer
Most advice I see concerns removing hidden leading apostrophes which is not the case here, others recommend Control and H to find and replace. This should work but does not as Excel does not seem to read the apostrophe at all.
I have tried Text to Columns > Delimited > Other ' to remove and then would have done =A1&B1 to put the text back together, but again this just does not read the apostrophe.
from 1 sheet i am opening several other worksheets and read in the bits i want. i am finding that on occasions the workbook_open on these sheets is causing great performance issues because of the calc mode set to automatic in the open routine of the individual sheets. i dont need it to be set to auto but the sheet owners perfer it to be set like this and i cant turn it off their sheets. is ther a way of opening a workbook from a macro and then override its workbook_open routine?
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(sSourceFolder & "" & "mySheet.xls", False, True)
i cant find any other switches that i could use to disable this.
I have a perfectly fine formula but whenever I try and use VBA to enter it for me it adds a leading apostrophe and it ruins the INDEX/MATCH with an RTE 1004.
I have a list of data that is 23K rows deep and need to match to eliminate duplicates. I know how to match but have been unable to format a key column to eliminate the leading apostrophe (e.g. 'KJM03390) from a mixed alpha-numeric field.
On exporting information from another database to excel the fields which are text in nature, these are always exported as with an apostrophe at the beginning of text into the excel cell. I can do nothing about this as the export to excel is a defined routine which i have no control over.
Unfortunately due to the amounts of data, I am handling 10,000 lines, the physical removal of this apostrophe at the beginning of the text in each cell is not a good way forward.
The apostrophe is to indicate it is a text string, I have tried edit find and replace looking for the apostrophe with no luck.
It is important for me to remove the apostrophe as it then allows the text which is in fact a hyperlink to be live
I am using the Worksheet_Change function behind a worksheet that executes some code every time a change is made on the worksheet.
ie.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) End Sub
Is it possible to disable this function while running another macro? Therefore, when I enable Screen.Updating, the Worksheet_Change function will not be triggered.
I have a Worksheet_Calculate Macro running in my workbook. I'd like to disable it temporarily when running another macro because its causing excel to run sluggishly.
I receive a lot of spreadsheets which contain numerical data where each cell has been forced to be text by a leading apostrophe.
how to strip the apostrophe out so I can process the data, please? I know the apostrophe is a hidden character, so I can't use Find & Replace, and using MID or RIGHT doesn't seem to work, either, even if I Copy and Paste Special as Values.
Is there an alternative to manually editing every single cell?
How to disable a macro when the workbook opened is a copy ** the original, the only difference between the 2 files would be the date created, could it possible to use some VBA to check for this "Date Created", and if the date is different from the original, then the copy will not able to run the macro or some sheets will be hidden in the copied file?
Is there a way for a macro to be not active when trying to insert a row or a way to have the macro understand that it's just a row shift? I'm trying to have a time stamp that anyone changes the value in a column. The following code generates an error 1004: application or object defined error when I insert or delete a row.
I have a macro in a workbook template,that when the workbook is open it populates a cell with the date and time such as 111711.507. This becomes the contract number for this workbook.. They complete the form or workbook and save it. The next time they open the saved workbook the macro runs and changes the contract number to a new number. I want to disable the macro on the saved workbook from changing the number.
I searched through some pages of old threads but could not find specifically one solution for performing the subject task on text strings in cells.
I have a lot of Excel files which contain both numerical data and text strings where each cell has been forced to have a leading apostrophe appended to the left side of the text strings and numbers.
How can I strip the leading apostrophe out?
I know the apostrophe is a hidden character, so I can't use Find & Replace.
I would like to figure out some VBA so that I could build this into and automate this via a macro I'm working on.
Is there a way to comprehensively do this for all cells containing text and numbers in a worksheet?
I'm trying to format an Excel 2010 spreadsheet so that I can import it into another application. I need to convert a number to text with four digits and a leading apostrophe - '0000 for example. How do I do this without having to type everything in manually?
There is a spreadsheet I use at work where we are told to use an apostrophe before the date to prevent the function bar from converting the dd/mm/yy to dd/mm/yyyy. Why does the apostrophe do this?
I imported the data from someone. And the cell in the column comes with the single quote'infront of the cell value. For example, the value that you see in the cell is "920-F-Y", but if Click on that cell, it turns out to be '920-F-Y, there's a single quote infront of it. I can't do a replace all on that single quote to empty space for some reason. Might just be my excel, or there's just something wrong. The problem is, I have 2 sources of data. I imported the first one, it has the single quote infront of it, i imported the second one, it has no single quote infront of it. I want to do a comparison, but I can't because it's different by single quote.
You can open my attachment, and try to replace that ' (single quote) with a space, and excel will complaint that it can't find it. I could go through each one and delete it individually, but consider that there are 5000 cells, it's just a lot of work.
I use the GetObjects function to gain access to the properties of a mailbox and want to fill out a table with some detail information. The code works fine until I have a mailbox which name has an apostrophe included.
Set o = getobjects("winMgmts:!\VS1 ootMicrosoftExchangeV2:Exchange_Mailbox.LegacyDN='/O=TEST/OU=TEST/cn=Recipients/cn=co'brien',MailboxGUID='{59A40254-9F12-4502-9A03-3FB5CB0BBD38}',ServerName='VS1',StorageGroupName='sg1',StoreName='mb1'")
I highlighted the section that causes the problem. The string within the string is encapsulated in apostrophes, hence the apostrophe in the mailbox name co'brien confuses the code and raises an error. Microsoft provides a solution by using escape characters, but that seems to work only in vbscript, not in vba. Here is a link to Microsoft's solution:
I tried some workarounds that are being used for a similiar problem with SQL statements as well, but again without success - these are the versions I tried:
I needed to change a formula to text before copying it to other cells. I did this with a Replace command: Replace> Find what: =IF( then Replace>Replace With: '=IF( Now I need to remove the apostrophe to turn the text in all the cells back to formulas. When I use the Replace>Find what: '=IF(and Replace>Replace with =IF(I get an error message saying that "Microsoft Office Excal cannot find a match".
