I have tried experimenting with LEFT, RIGHT functions. I want to edit a text string using a delimiter. For example: "NOS|NOS". I have a column of 256 rows of such entries, a name; the pipe; a name. I need to be able to strip out one side or the other using that pipe as the delimiter, leaving only "NOS". With 256 rows of items with this format - the length of the text string will vary.
View 3 RepliesI have a script to import all the data in a text file into an excel sheet. However, the data that is imported are in the first column of every row.
for e.g.
123454566788329929201012827192019128278111111111abc213123123123123
there is no comma nor / to separate the string of alphanumerics is there any vba script that i can incorporate to separate the first 3 digit in the first column then 5 digit in the second column then 7 digit in the 3rd columns and etc.
I have a column with cells that look like: XYZ - JobABC - Area 1-A. I'd like to split the column into to and have it look like: XYZ <next column> Job ABC - Area 1-A
Normally I'd use the text to columns function and "-" as delimiter, however, there are other instances of "-" which I do not want separated. Note that the XYZ can vary in length and therefore fixed width will not work either. I have attached a small sample with the different variations that I could encounter.
I'm trying to extract all the numbers from the left of the delimiter ":" . They can occur once or more.
E.g. cell F2 contains BP2.2.1:40 BP2.2.1:50 BP2.2.1:60 BP2.2.1:70 BP2.4.1:80
and what i want as a result is : BP2.2.1 BP2.2.1 BP2.2.1 BP2.2.1 BP2.4.1.
I've tried =IFERROR(LEFT(F2,FIND(":",F2)-2), " ") but only displays 1 out of a possible 4 in the cell.
I need to organize some unorganized texts in my columns.Here is what I have in the column:

Column B = "134 CRICKLEWOOD AVE HENDERSON,NV"
Column C = "89002"
I have a text file, which is been imported to excel sheet. There are 2 fields in the text file. Each field has to be placed in one column. The first field has values with space. Due to this the first field is split into 2 fields and totally 3 columns are imported in the excel sheet. Have set .TextFileSpaceDelimiter=True so that it would split the 2 fields, but since the first field has space in it, it splits into 3 fields. Is their any alternate way to obtain the above?

I am having a problem reading from a file. I am working with some old code. I am reading information in from a txt file. The information on the txt file is separated by commas on each line. My question is, how can I read in for example, the third section on the first line. By section I mean...
line 1:
section1, section2, section3, section4, section5
I want to read section3 into a string variable. If anyone can help me please post. I am having the hardest time finding this online.
I frequently review DAT files. These DAT files use a variety of characters as delimiters. I'm trying to devise a macro that will perform a text-to-column operation, using the content of a specified cell as the delimiter.
Here's my code, which uses - (ASCII 0254) as a delimiter:
Code:
With Sheet1
Range("A1", ActiveCell.End(xlDown)).Select
Do
[Code]....
Instead of having the delimiter hard-coded, I'd like my macro to use whatever character I enter into Sheet3.Range("i5") as a delimiter. That way, I can easily change my delimiter character as necessary.

View 5 Replies View Relatedhow can I open a .txt file with vba and replace alll "," with ";" ?
I was wondering if it was possible for a macro to edit a file by opening each .txt file, searching for the word "Reference", and then replace it with the word "Ref". Then save and close the text file.
There are no delimiters in the text files.
I used the macro editor to create a "simple" macro to edit 7 rows of text. The steps were basic and simple - F2 key, backspace about 25 times, and down arrow then repeat these 3 steps 6 more times. The macro I got gave me the result of the very first cell as I was recording the macro. I think I remember the old Lotus 1-2-3 macro text - {edit}{backspace}{down}. Wish it were still that simple.

I have a datafeed program that offers multiple DDE link types to retrieve different types of data. After pasting the DDE links into Excel, all works well. However... To modify the links means manually editing upto 12 different array formulas located on different pages then pressing Ctrl + Shift + Enter after each to change the data source being analysed.
I found that I can manually copy and paste a few characters into each linked array formula, Ctrl+Shift+Enter but it needs to be by Macro referring to a couple cells (Say A1, A2) containing the variables that alter the data source being linked to.
I need to make a VBA Macro that refers to these two cells containing text, and modify the 12-odd linked array formulas.
eg. {=SUB33|getlocation!'N,pg,9,vp,A,30'}
In this example Linked Array formula, the bolded PG and 9 would be variables pulled from cell A1 and A2.
All other components of the array formulas stay unmodified, it is only the "pg,9" text that needs to change in each linked array.

I need to create a macro to do the following:
Search the activecell for a text string (a), and then either paste in text string (b) at the end of the cell if (a) is found, or text string (c) if (a) is not found.
For example, if the activecell has "AA/" in it, I want the cell to become "AA/01" (pasting in "01" at the end), and if the cell has just "AA" in it, I want it to still become "AA/01" (pasting "/01" at the end). The macro will be linked to a commandbutton.
