As simple as this sounds, I can't seem to make this work. I am looking for code for the following:
I would like to enter the word "Empty" into a cell if the cell is blank. The
range can be variable. The only columns that contain an empty cell are
columns B or C which can have any number of rows.
I am trying to merge text, in four adjacent cells in the same row (say cells A1,A2,A3 and A4), into a single cell (say cell A5).
I would like a comma or full stop and then a space between each item merged (cell A5).
The text to be merged may appear in any one of the four cells (cells A1 to A4). Those cells without text are blank.
Only where all 4 cells are blank, will I need cell 'A5' to indicate this.
The formula needs to be relative as I will need to copy the formula down the spreadsheet so that it applies to additional rows.
My problem is that long text for the cell overlaps any blank cells to the right. I have more then 20.000 rows, so I would not like to put a space character in all the blank cells. Is there a way of formatting which will stop this? I don't want these texts to overlap the blank cells!

I'd like Excel to look at the column of cells which contain the data and populate the information into a list on another worksheet without the blank cells, can I do this?
How it looks now: Sheet 1, cells A1:A6

I'm using the the Texttocolumns method in a Macro, and when it runs across a cell without any data I get "Run time error '1004' No data was selected to parse". How would I get passed this? I would like it to just remain a blank range without the error. Here's the code I'm using:
Range("F38").Select
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("F38"), DataType:=xlFixedWidth, _
FieldInfo:= Array(Array(0, 1), Array(5, 1), Array(13, 1), Array(21, 1), Array(25, 1)), _
TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
I need a code to enter 2 blank rows at each change in data in column B with totals entered at the end of columns E-J.
I have attached a sample with a before and after tab.
1. First thing I am trying to do. I have a column of cells that have multiple values, some with text and some with no values at all. I want to be able to display in A1 the most commonly occurring text in cells C1:C15, and be able to display in B1 the number of times that A1 occurs in the same range. Below are the formulas that I am using. There are two problems that I am running into: First, the formula returns a #NA error if any of the cells in the range are left blank. Second, the formula counts the spaces or zeros, so if there are more blanks than the word “amber” then A1 returns “ ” and B1 returns the corresponding number.
A1
=INDEX(C1:C15,(MODE(MATCH(C1:C15,C1:C15,0))))
B1
=COUNTIF(C1:C16,A1)
2. Second thing I am trying to do. In A2 I want to display the second most commonly occurring text in the range, with it’s corresponding count in cell B2, and the third most in A3 and B3, etc
Illustration:
C1 Amber
C2 Red
C3
C4
C5
C6 Red
Desired result:
A1 "Red" B1 "2"
A2 "Amber" B2 "1"
Results with forumla as posted
A1 " " B1 "3"
I have a large list of text in one column which i need to combine between blank rows into one cell or a new column, the number of rows to be combined varies.
for example
aa
bb
ww
xx
zz
rr
gg
hh
ii
jj
would become
aa bb
ww xx zz
rr
gg hh ii jj
I have over 30000 lines so doing it by hand is not an option.
When choosing ascending or decending, is it possible to always keep rows with the designated blank cells at the bottom? Trying to prevent the blank cells from popping on the top when i filter by a certain field.

I have been selecting the range as follows:
I am trying to enter a blank row everytime the 2ND character of a field changes...
sample cells (ALWAYS COLUMN B)(last row needs to be calculated as it changes daily):
2T2W3D3L4H4N4N4N6C6C
when done:
2T2W3D3L4H4N4N4N6C6C
was trying this:
Code:
Dim chkConfirmRw, LastNameRow As Integer
For chkConfirmRw = LastNameRow To 1 Step -1
'Compare the current cell to the one below it
'If they don't match, insert a row row below the current Row
If Range("B" & chkConfirmRw) Range("B" & chkConfirmRw + 1) Then
Range("B" & chkConfirmRw + 1).EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlDown
End If
'Decrement the counter and do it again
Next
but it does not work.
I would like to search Column C for an instance of the text "Std. Residual", then cycle through the non blank cells to the right and run some formatting code:
VB:
'this line will be modified so that i cycle through the non blank cells that i have found
For row_cycle = 1 To 7
'not signifcant
If Abs(ActiveCell) < 1.96 Then
Selection.Interior.Color = 255
[Code] .....
I then want to search for the next instance of "Std. Residual" in Column C, do the same again, and so on for the entire Worksheet.
I have a range of cells with numeric values or blanks. I set up a Conditional Formatting rule with this range selected: New Rule > Format only cells that contain > Format only cells with: Blanks; then I set the formatting to a light green fill and on the Number tab > Category = Custom > Type: "blank"
The blank fields get the light green fill, but no text; that is, the value displayed is still blank.
I go back to edit the CF rule and change Blanks to No Blanks. The results are what I expect: the cells with numbers display the text blank and have a green fill; the blank cells have no fill (white).
This is my testing criteria. I eventually want the empty cells to display 0 (zero). I tried setting Custom > Type: 0 (the number placeholder zero) and Type: "0" (literally the number zero), and neither works.
I have tried this with Format only cells with Cell Value equal to [the address of a blank cell].
I tried to set the value as "" but kept getting =""""; and ="" became ="=""" ???
I have tried this with Use a Formula... using the len()=0, isblank(), and other approaches, all with the same results.
I also made sure the option [x] Show a zero in cells that have a zero value is checked.
With all approaches to identifying the blank cells, they ARE obviously being recognized as blank values: the fill color is being applied to the right cells; and when Not Blank is the criterion (or a negation of a formula), the blank ones are not formatted. But blank cells will not display the text as defined in the Custom Formatting.
And this isn't an issue of "If the cell displays 'blank' it's no longer blank, so the rule doesn't apply" - HERE'S WHY: I set up a second CF rule that sets the Font to red when the value is greater than zero and had this CF rule follow the CF rule for No Blanks (the test above that works). Cells with positive numbers displayed blank in red, cells with zeros or negative numbers displayed blank in black. This clarified that the actual value of the cell is being evaluated, not the displayed value after Custom formatting is applied.
I know different variations of this question get asked all the time... but I can't find an answer that I'm sure will *always* do what I want.
I have a range of cells (A1:A10), and I want to count all the text entries of positive length. That is to say, I don't want to count:
blanks
numbers
zeros
spaces
errors
I'm sure I need to use the LEN function, but I can't quite figure out how.
this counting expression will be inserted in a SUMPRODUCT formula
So this is what I am trying to do, I have a column in my data that is for telephone numbers. When I receive the file some of the fields are blank in that column. I need to add to my current macro a part that evaluates the column for blanks and adds a static telephone number in the blanks (up to the last row of data in the file). I have been able to accomplish this with the following:
Range("N2").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Select
Selection.FormulaR1C1 = "1112223333"
However, when the file that I receive has a telephone number in all the fields the code breaks at this point. I have tried On Error Resume Next, but that just replaces all the remaining cells in the column with the static 1112223333..
The macro recorder doesn't let me record a macro that finds text box #9, go to the end of the existing text in the text box and then add my text.
When I record the macro and go to the box, it doesn't appear in the code (as well as not working).
Ok so my named range looks like this:
[Code]....
However, I want to ignore the "" cells and the truly blank cells... However, I think all of them will have "" since I have this formula in all of the ones I'm putting in the range:
[Code]....
How do I go about getting these results into a named range so I can use it on validation since validation only seems to ignore truly blank cells and not the "" ones.
I have manually set all row heights to 12.75 to make sure they are the same. In these rows I have a comments box and when the end of the cell is reached I use alt&enter to continue writing underneath. Seems the comments cell has stopped re-sizing.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have sporadic cell values in a column. I will be describing the lamen logic I use to fill in these blanks manually. Find the first nonblank cell in the column, then look for the next nonblank cell in the column. I count the number of blank cells in between. If even # of blank cells, then I give the first half of the blanks the value of the first nonblank cell and the second half of the blank cells the value of the next nonblanck. If odd # of blank cells, then I do the same with the exception that the odd cell that falls in the middle will be randomly designated the value of the either first or second nonblank cell.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI can count the blank cells withiin a range using
=COUNTBLANK(C6:AD2506)
But I dont want it to count the cells if the entire row, within that cell, i.e. C6:AD6, is blank.
It should only count the blank cells within a row if there has been some data entered on that row..provided it has been entered within the specified range.
I would typically consider myself a decent Excel user, but I haven't been able to solve this one. Maybe it's just the lack of sleep now. I am attempting to combine 4 cells into one where the last cell contains a date. Below is the formula I am using:
=B3&" "&C3&" "&D3&" "&TEXT(E3,"m/d/yy")
It works when all of the cells have values, but the only problem I am having is that some of the dates (in column E) are blank. When this cell is blank the default date that displays is "1/0/00." If I add the typical, " " at the end it says the formula has errors. The need for the TEXT(E3,"m/d/yy") for the cells that contain dates is throwing me off.
Not sure why this won't work. Just want to insert the text line "11 color" in column "I" if a user enters a number higher than 199 in column "G".

I have text that when you push enter it goes to the next line and when you push tab it goes 5 spaces to the right the problem is...
When i have a lot of data it goes out of range and not all of the text is shown. I want to limit what is written to the size of the text box no matter the size or type the font is you can only type where you can see inside the textbox.
I need to create a form that if you were to enter a name in the text box it would fill all the information across that row into other boxes on the form. Basicly if I type John Doe in the text box it would look in col A for John Doe and then put whats in the cells on that row into different boxes on my form. I have tried searching but I have had no luck.
