Enter Line-Break At Specific Location
Jun 24, 2014
I know Excel is not the best tool for formatting sentences, but is there a way to insert a Line-Break based on a condition? (Either using Formula or VBA).
The situation is:A fixed-width cell, is a concatenation of 5 strings. Each of these 5 strings is a small sentence of 3-6 words; individually much smaller than the cell-width.2 of these 5 are fixed (one at start, one at the end). The other 3 are results of their respective "IF" formulas.Hence, the final sentence wraps over 2-3 lines.I need the 3rd & 5th sentence (the whole sentence, all 3-6 words of it) to start in a new line, only if they are going to be wrapped into two lines.
So If the wrapping results in:
String1 String2 Stri
ng3 String4 Stri
ng5
Then change it to:
String1 String2
String3 String4
String5

I'm trying to combine 2 cells that both have text on multiple lines separated by line breaks. I want to keep the formatting so that when both cells are combined, line one from cell 1 and line 1 from cell 2 are on the same line in the new combined cell. This is easy to do when there is only 1 line in each cell but how do you do this for cells with multiple lines? Here is an example of what I am trying to do:
A
B
C
1
First Name:
Last Name:
Address:
John
Smith
123 Harold Street
First Name: John
Last Name: Smith
Address: 123 Harold Street

I have this code that is to long for the vba window so I read around and found I had to add a space and _ to extend the line.For some reason I get an error in the code when I do that?
However I copied the formula right from the working cell?

I am entering large amounts of text into a text box uisng VBA code.
In VBE I need to line break the text using "space _" in order I can keep the text manageable on the screen. Problem is VBA is telling me there is a limit to the number of line breaks I can have in a sub, how I can solve this, ideally would like to paste a para of text at a time.

I have created a message box and I want leave two blank lines in the middle of the text. Is this possible?
At the moment my code for the message box line looks like:
Msg = "This process will print each site for " & UserSlection & ". Before continuing please ensure you have the right printer selected. (I.E. a colour printer where available). The process may take several minutes to complete. Do you wish to continue?"
I just want to move the "Do you wish to continue?" down two lines so that it is easier to read.

=REPLACE(REPLACE(A1,42,0,CHAR(10)),84,0,CHAR(10))
I tried this but i am not sure how to get the start num to change to 126,168 and so on

I'm having troubles with a spreadsheet and unfortunately don't know enough VBA to fix it. I have two columns, each with data like so (standard text) separated by a line break:
Object1
Object2
Object3
value1
value2
value3
And I need them separated like so:
Object1
Value1
Object2
Value2
Object3
Value3
with other items in the row from other columns applied to the new rows accordingly.
Any script/macro/tool (even non-Excel) to do this effectively (over 800 rows)?

When importing text from a CSV, the 'line returns' appear in a cell as a small square with faded left and right sides. The do force a line break as intended. However, they are a nuisance in reading and printing.
When I use ALT+ENTER to force a line break, there is no visible character (on screen or printed) for the line break, which is as it should be.
How can I replace this 'special character' line break with one not visible?

Why when I drag the dotted blue page break line does it sometimes break the entire doc into one page per cell ?
The doc is not wide. When I first load I can drag the break line successfully. Then I print preview... select print on both sides... boom.. goes from 4 pages to 14. Then I go back to page break view... drag the line... boom... Hundreds of pages. Even if I revert back to printing on one side it still is messed up.
How do I make this stop?? What am I doing wrong?? Office 2010

I am creating a macro that will take some information from 3 cells that the user will input, place it into 3 different cells, clear the original 3 cells and then I would like the macro to, when next activated input the new information from the 3 cells below the information that was already in the table.
For Example,
Date (D3), Description (E3, F3, G3 Merged cell) and Reference (H3)
I would then like those 3 cells to be put into A9:E9 then clear the original cells. That is not the part that I have the problem well, the following however, is.
After I enter new information into the input cells, and press the macro button, I would like the information to be placed into A10:E10 and from then on, the information goes down by 1 row after each macro.

why I get a "Can't enter break mode at this time" message when stepping through the following code (using the F8 key) at the 'With NewButton' line?
(This is code from a Walkenbach book, and it runs fine if I don't step through it. I'm using Excel 2007 btw)

One has around 129 lines for the first years 2006 in sheet1.
The other links to the first 129 rows. Then I've linked the top 129 in sheet2 130 down for 2007 and so on for 5 years.
How would I add a line in Sheet1 then would insert 5 lines in sheet2 keeping the same order.
e.g
Sheet1
Name Rev Year
John £120 2006 Row 5
Jack £150 2006 Row 6
Sheet2 (linked)
Name Rev Year
John £120 2006 Row 5
Jack £150 2006 Row 6
John £130 2007 Row 134
Jack £160 2007 Row 135
John £140 2008 Row 263
Jack £160 2008 Row 264
John £150 2009 Row 392
Jack £170 2009 Row 393
John £155 2010 Row 521
Jack £180 2010 Row 522
The Rev changes by formulas in Sheet 1

Is it possible to change the behaviour of the return button within a textbox? What I would like is, once the return button is pressed, it starts a new line in the textbox rather than it moving to the next textbox within the form.

Obviously if the folder already exists I want the code to stop.
But this code will have to generate a different folder for each row within the spreadsheet.

I have a spreadsheet where I track resources needed on a project. Each resource that is selected in the resource column has a corresponding % avg and an average number of months where the resource is used. % Avg and # of Months are found in a different worksheet.
What I am looking to do is, for example: if resource A will be on the project starting in May 2015 and assigned at 30% for 7 months, I want to populate 30% starting in the colunm labeled May 2015 and copy the 30% so that a total of 7 months are populated. Also, if any of the values change (i.e: the Resource Name or the Start Month) I want to erase all the percentages that were entered in the row. How can I achieve that with a VBA code? I have formulas that retrieve the # of Months and the % Avg already.
These are the columns that I have in my spreadsheet:
Resource NameStart MonthJan-15Feb-15Mar-15Apr-15May-15Jun-15Jul-15Aug-15Sep-15

I have a User form with a combo box that is populated with numbers (1 thru 50) and four text boxes for first name, last name, email & cell number.
It all works fine. However: I would like it to transfer the data to (Sheet3) in numerical order... In other words, If the user picks number 5 his data would be entered in the fifth row.(or sixth counting header). Or if he chooses number 37, his info would be entered into row 37 (38 with header) of (Sheet3)
It currently populates the next empty row.
My code is below, How would I modify it to accomplish this?
Code:
Private Sub EnterButton_Click()
'Populates GetNumber Combo Box
Dim w As Worksheet, x As Long
Set w = Sheets("Sheet2")
x = w.Columns(19).Find(Me.GetNum.Value, lookat:=xlWhole, LookIn:=xlValues).Row
w.Range("S" & x).Delete
[Code] ............
