I am attempting to print each letter of a string in a specified cell individually in different cells. For example, if I input the word "Hello" in cell B1, it would automatically print "H" in A1, "e" in A2, "l" in A3, etc.
I currently have this;
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim Count As Integer
Dim Explosion As Integer
Dim Kaboom
Dim EndCounter As Integer
Dim StrTarg
Dim PLV
[Code]...
However, it does not seem to loop. It simply prints the first letter of the string inputed (In cell K3 in my case), into cell A1, and then stops. Surely it should continue to loop around untill Count is equal to the length of the string in K2.

Is there a way to SET a RANGE that can be used for further editing without the need to specify the range each time for each function to be perfomed?
I have a pile of Data, with a Calendar date and 4 columns of data for each date.
I want to make a summary for each year separately of one column of data (Total PL). How can I set a condtion that it will output a summary of data for a given year, e.g. 1990?
Even more useful might be setting up a table for each year, where I will be able to perform easy function like SUM, MAX, MIN but it will use data only from the specific Year in each row.
- Is there a way to make it simpler, but not having to specify the RANGE for each Year for each Function?

Running excel 2002, windows vista (some machines on network are running xp). I have a spreadsheet that I want to be able to edit from all computers on the network so that it shows real time changes on all PC's.
It would be like using google docs, I can't use google docs because my file size is 2.5MB and it is too much for it.

i have a list of about 20,000 phone numbers that I need to edit.
all start
01 123456
01 123457
01 123458 etc
I am trying to create a macro that will change them to
+001123456
+001123457
+001123458 Etc
However, no matter what I try it always comes out as
+001123456
+001123456
+001123456
F2 Copy and paste is going to take me forever, and I am sure that there must be a quicker way to do this.
this is my first time creating macros so am completly lost.
I want to keep the text that is in the cell that I am editing, just add the country code and delete the space.

I'm currently doing a survey using an excel workbook that contains multiple questions across multiple worksheets using radio buttons linked to certain cells.
I have around 400 workbooks coming back to me, so what i want to do is take specific values from across many worksheets within each workbook and combine them into a large master table in a seperate workbook.
I've tried using VBA, but not being very proficient at it i've hit a brick wall with that, so i'm hoping that there is an easier way to do it than what i'm currently pursuing.

I've got data being scraped from a site, putting 1 new workbook in a folder each day
each workbook has 40 sheets in it.
i need to run 5 modules in sequence on a sheet then loop to the next sheet and run the same 5 modules.
ive writen all the modules, and can loop them through the sheets in sequence but i cant work out how to loop them through the each workbook in the folder..
is there an easy way to do this or can it not be done because it would need access to the folder that holds all the wordbooks which lives outside of excel on the desktop ?

1.I need to protect certain locked cells from editing and allow certain unlocked cells to be changed on multiple worksheets.
2.When all of the changes are made to the unlocked cells, I need to password protect the entire workbook (except one worksheet) from any changes. (i.e. Prevent even the unlocked cells from being edited)
3.I also need a password to un-protect the workbook and return it to the state described in # 1. above .

I need the values that are copied from the template to copy over in text form from the "Data" Tab. Secondly, the master sheet has multiple lines for each vendor. For the area highlighted in red I'd like for it to copy all cells in column C for the vendor and search the vendor by name. Then, move to the next sheet.

I need a macro that would consolidate all data in multiple worksheets of multiple workbooks in one Master file.
All the workbooks will be in one particular folder. The macro should search for data in all the workbooks and consolidate it in one master excel workbook.
I am currently using both excel 2007 and excel 2010. This macro would really reduce manual work as currently consolidating data from 45 to 50 sheets takes an ample amount of time...

The following code won't let me copy from the first workbook. I get a run time 1004 error stating "That command cannot be used on multiple selections".
I would rather not have to copy this by column for each of the 4 workbooks

I track distribution using 1 workbook for each sales rep. Each workbook has a separate worksheet (scorecard) for each of their locations showing which of our products are used in that location, for various functions. Each of the locations has a segment (bar, nightclub, casual dining, etc.), and a class (AA, A, B, etc.). All of the scorecards are identical, and are in the same file folder on our shared drive.
Sample:
Location A Class:AA Segment: Sports Bar Rep: John Smith
Product: Product X Product Y Product Z
Well: 1 0 0
Back Bar: 0 1 0
Cocktail Menu: 0 1 1
I was unable to find an HTML maker so this is not an actual sample but what I'm looking at. The above data indicates that for location A (Sports Bar, Class AA), Product X is used as the well, Product Y is on their back bar and their cocktail menu, and Product Z is not used at this location at all.
I need to set up an analytic workbook where I can sum data based on multiple and grouped criteria, and for multiple reps ie- display a scorecard that shows totals for nightclubs and sports bars, class AA, A, and B, for a particular rep; OR display a scorecard that shows totals for nightclubs, class A for a group of reps. Ideally I would like to do this using drop down menus that allow the user to select multiple criteria in each of the drop downs, having the data auto-populate based on those selections.

I have about 20 workbooks with different file names for different projects all saved in the same folder. Each workbook has about 10 worksheets and each worksheet is named in a similar fashion in each of the 20 workbooks (eg. revenue, cost, variance etc.). I want to pull out a worksheet named ' forecast' from each workbook into a master workbook so that the master workbook would contain the 20 forecast worksheets.

I have a folder - U:30000 - that contains a number of identically layed out workbooks. What I'm trying to do is, in each, change a number of cell values. Where dominicb's solution to the previous problem didn't work for me, however, is that I need to change cells in multiple worksheets. The cells are specifically:
On worksheet 'Construction': C3 (which is a date), D3 (which is a text value); on worksheet 'FF&E': D3 (the same text value as D3 on 'Construction'. Unfortunately, whoever initially set up the workbook didn't have the foresight to link it!)

I'm trying to combine data from several worksheets (one sheet per workbook) into a single, consolidated master worksheet for reporting purposes (filters and pivot tables). We do not need to keep formulas for the master worksheet, only values and formats. Individual worksheets are used by different users to capture case data in a Human Services field. Column headings are identical, but rows contain data on individual cases. I'm trying to find a relatively easy way to combine multiple worksheets into a single master. After I establish the worksheets and technique, it will be operated by extremely basic users so I've been reluctant to use extensive macros.
Because of complex reporting needs, the exact combination of worksheets being combined for reporting may vary. For example, one time I may combine Tom, Dick and Harry, another time Tom, Dick and Bob, and yet another time Tom, Dick, Bob and Harry. Obviously, one method is to cut and paste the rows into a single worksheet. Are there more elegant solutions that could easily be handled by very basic users? Worksheets are stored in a single folder along with a separate worksheet used for validation rules (as you can guess, this would ideally be a database application but for various economic and political reasons we are using Excel). One possibility, if straightforward, is to use Access to consolidate data then export it back to Excel for analysis. I've scoured the various threads but have not found a situation mirroring mine. The number of rows for each worksheet is generally less than one hundred, but there will be a few exceeding several hundred. Total numer of rows of the resultant master worksheet will not exceed 10,000.

I'm trying to search through a group of Excel files for specific values in column B and then copy and paste the value from column C of the same row into the current worksheet if the search term is found. Thanks to some help from turtle44, I can do that if the search term only appears once, but if it appears more than once, I can only find the first occurance.
I have searched through te archives and found lots of people asking for the same thing. The common suggestion is to use .FindNext, but no matter how I try to use FindNext, it doesn't give me the results I want. It either seems to find the first occurance again or to find nothing at all.
Here is a simplified version of my code, if someone could just explain how to find the second occurance of "Use Code" and past the relevant value into column F of the destination workbook, I'd appreciate it and I should be able to work out the rest on my own.
Sub SearchAllXLSFiles()
Dim lCount As Long
Dim wbSource As Workbook
Dim wbDestiny As Workbook
On Error Resume Next
Set wbDestiny = ThisWorkbook

I have a series of duplicate workbooks to allow for distribution to multiple users. The workbooks have a userform which allows the user to save records into a worksheet. I would like to have a standalone workbook which is a merge of all of the worksheets.
Since data will be contiuosly entered, I want the master workbook to have a "constant" link and alway but current without need to run anything.

I have a folder where we get 10-15 workbooks and we need to convert these workbooks into one. Currently we manually copy from these individual workbooks and then paste it to the one which we want to have all the data from all the workbooks. This is really time consuming. Can anyone of you help me with creating a Macro which will do the job?

I have multiple WB's all with the same format in a single folder. I need a button to copy all the text from each WB into a single Master WB that has the same format. There are 3 sheets in each client WB corresponding to three sheets in the Master WB. Each client WB has a number of rows (or none) on each sheet and when they are copied to the Master they need to paste consecutively and into the corresponding Master sheet.
Something like this:
Copy rows from [WB1].Sheets 1, 2 and 3 (starting at a:4, columns A-Q). Then paste to corresponding [MasterWB].Sheets 1, 2 and 3 (at a:4, columns A-Q) then repeat with Next Book.
I hope thats clear enough. The Client WB's are all named "stats [name].xls" with 1 hidden sheet (to populate lists) and 3 sheets named "POC", "ISS" and "ECS" repectively. The Master WB is named Stats.xls with the same sheet names as the Client WB's.
The following code was written for me by a helpful member of this forum but it only copies the first sheet of each Client WB. When i tried to duplicate and modify it to copy the second and third sheets I could not get it to copy from the second/third sheets and it meant 3 buttons/3 steps/3 times the confusion.
Sub Report()
a = 1:
st:
If Sheets(5).Cells(a, 1) = "" Then GoTo endd
Path = Sheets(5).Cells(a, 1).Text
If Dir(Path) = "" Then
w = MsgBox(Path + " Is Not A Valid Path / File", , "REPORT")
a = a + 1: GoTo st
End If
If there is anyone who could help me with this I would very much appreciate it. I am only a basic user of Excel and VBA is still new to me. Adding modules and understanding basic commands is as much as I know at the moment.

I have a series of workbooks residing in different directories which I am trying to copy into a summary workbook. At present what I did is to open the summary workbook and the individual workbook one by one and copy into the summary workbook by first right clicking of the individual workbook's name tab and select copy to copy onto the summary workbook as a new worksheet. I have about 20 individual workbook to copy and this always take a bit of time every week.
To be a bit clearer, the workbooks are in the following directories and the workbook name and sheet name are shown below. For simplicity sake I will only list 3 of them.
1. D:ContractINF00012301.xls the tab name is 2301
2. D:ContractINF0022403.xls the tab name is 2402
3. D:ContractINF00038400.xls the tab name is 8400

I have had a look at FAQs and some of the threads but I can't seem to find one that actually sums up numbers from the various workbooks.
I have 15 workbooks all formatted the same, and a parent workbook, again with the exact same format. I would like to consolidate the numbers in one cell in the 15 workbooks to appear as one number in the parent (in the same cell ref).
E.G. wb1 has 150 in cell A1
wb2 has 75 in cell A1
wb3 has 25 in cell A1
wb4 has 100 in cell A1
The parent workbook should have 350 in cell A1 after the macro is run.

Task - Streamline & Automate daily Excel Tasks for 13 Staff & Manager, based in 2 different locations. Current Status. 25 workbooks, "Shared", + 1 Workbook {List.xls}, "Not Shared". All Validation lists are in this List book. 1 main data entry sheet in each workbook, feeding totals on Main Tab. Each data entry sheet is 10 columns, 250-700 rows. 5 Colums are free text entry, 5 are fed from data validation lists. The data validation lists are on another Tab, which is linked to a non shared workbook.
Each workbook has a Main Tab, which totals data input, and represents data in colours, in different cells..Picture a warehouse, with shelves & racks. I am in the middle of designing a simple form...but not so simple..thats another story. I am concerned that there is a lot of potential for disater, especially with shared books. I have thought of the access route, but the staff need to see colours on the sheets. Any opinions on what the Best Practice may be to handle this scenario. My main forte has been formula, pivot tables & external data..this is a new challenge
