I have 1800 rows of bibliographic entries that are I am cleaning up. The first column imported with some numbers and spaces that I don't want. Here is an example of the variation:
Abdalla, C.W.,
37 Abdalla, C.W., B.A. Roach, and D.J. Epp,
2 Abou-Ali, H and M. Belhaj,
I want all the rows to be like the first one, ie, no numbers and no spaces.

Is there an Excel function that can strip a specificed unwanted character from a text string to leave all the other characters excluding the unwanted one?
e.g. if the original text strings were (in separate cells within a workbook):
C-2C-9C-9-XA-10A-10-BA-10-XA-8N-7-D
The function would strip the "-" to leave:
C2
C9
C9X
A10
A10B
A10X
A8
N7D ...etc.
I'm looking to create a macro that will take a input from extract master.xls workbook and search that contain in the transaction.xls workbook.
I need not want to search the entire row exactly, instead if the search string found any where in that row, that search string alone need to be removed from that row.
For example.
Search String (File : extract master.xls, Column : TAG) :- ....
I'm sure you've all encountered that amazingly annoying glitch where you click on one cell and 4 or 5 others highlight with it. F8 does not do the trick to stop it. Sometimes changing the zoom will work to get it to stop, but not always (like now).
I shouldn't have to arbitrarily change the zoom on a sheet for Excel to start working properly.

The above was imported to Excel from another software and somehow those unwanted rows with "0" were created.
Would like to delete those unwanted row and combine the reason on those rows into their respective rows above.
Please note: this is just a small part of the file. The file is big and row with "0" doesnt occur in a prodictable patten.
I'm having the following little problem, and i'm hoping that
someone here can help me solve it.
I have a number of rows containing data starting at row 1.
I already made VBA code which finds the last row containing data.
That row number is stored in the variable "LastRowWithData".
What i want to do now is the following.
In column B (in row 1 to the row number stored in "LastRowWithData"),
there are long code's which all have to be checked for unwanted characters.
Some of these unwanted characters are the "I" and "O" characters both in
upper case and lower case.
If these characters are found a messagebox has to appear, saying something
like "Illegal character found in cell ____".
If more than one cell containing unwanted characters are found, either more
messageboxes with the cell coordinates have to be displayed or one messagebox
displaying all the cell coordinates in which the unwanted characters are found.
Im planning to use a while - wend statement to check all cells for unwanted
characters. (While ActiveCell.Row LastRowWithData)
Is there a simple way to do this in (Excel 2003) VBA ?
I am aware this is probably very simple, but I haven't been able to find a usable macro yet. I would like the data in the workbook that is not "Tuesday" (column L) and is not "3" or "4" (column I) to be deleted. All rows that have "Tuesday" and either "3" or "4" should not be deleted. Each row that is not deleted must have Tuesday in column L. All other cells are blank intentionally. The workbook will remain the same titled WKBK1 (no need to put the output data in a separate workbook nor separate spreadsheet).
Do you know what the macro would be so I don't have to copy and paste a formula over a large number of cells?

I've created a worksheet with a number of dropdowns / data validations. Now the thing with these validations is the source range apparently has to be in the same sheet (well it can be another one but much simpler if in the same). I've just realized I created them in the wrong place, so need to erase them. Pressing the delete key isnt working though, they're still there. I could right-click delete but that then requires one to move cells up/right etc and that could mess with my formulas.

I'm just getting started with VBA, and I must say, it's very rewarding when something actually works (of course with a lot of help in this fase of my VBA knowledge)
I've got the following problem, I'm trying to write some code that wil clear all cells down if i.e. cell E45 is empty.
So if cell E45 is empty the code should clear all formulas / text in de cells A46 ; M46 all the way to A100 ; M100.
After doing some searching I found a macro here which imports multiple text files into one workbook, keeping each text file as a seperate worksheet, each worksheet named the same as the original file name (minus the .txt extension).
However, it adds a blank line between each line of text. So I get this:

This doesn't happen when I use the import wizard, or when I just open the file from the File -> Open menu.
My text files are always the same format (number of lines, etc.), so it's easy to delimit and insert forumlae as needed, but those extra lines are breaking a macro I've previously written to parse the data.
I have a spreadsheet which is used by users unfamiliar with Excel. They are using the filter to select records, however when this is used some records appear which have no entry in the cells of that column. Can I overcome this? There is no data in the blank cells, other than a data validation drop down.

View 4 Replies View RelatedEach week I import some data into my workbook (its financial-imports stock names, identiy codes and stock type).

Further to this I need to get rid off all the rows which which have an stock type "No Asset Class". I cant use auto-filter because there are too many other stock types which I need to be included.

While running my program, the code is halted and my code is displayed as if I had set a breakpoint. The next line of code to execute is highlighted in yellow. However there is no maroon colored background around the code. I have no breakpoint set on this line. Is there any reason my program is behaving this way?

I have a spreadsheet acting as a check register. In looking through the over 2300 entries, I am getting "odd" rounding issues. I have attached a small piece of the worksheet to demonstrate this quirkiness. As you can see, I am adding numbers out to two decimal places (which should result in two decimal place answers). The result for 11/11/2002 has become a more complex number. And, the result for 11/14/2002 goes back to two decimal places.
I have upgraded my office suite since 2002. Could that be an issue? I prefer not to have to "force" the rounding =round(result,2) to solve the problem.
i want to convert an excel spreadsheet into a text file, keeping the same format, but when i do so, excel puts " " around the characters, which i don't want. Example: please see the 2 attachments.
e.g. when i convert, i don't want the " " around the commas in the text file.
I have used the OWC.Spreadsheet 11 object in a form. But since then, I get a warning, usually when I open the spreadsheet, saying "This application is about to initialize an ActiveX Control that might be unsafe. If you trust the source of this file Select OK.etc,etc". I am using Excel 2003. Is there anyway of getting rid of this message? I am worried that users will see it, worry about using it and press cancel instead of OK at the prompt, thus rendering my form useless.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using macros for the first time in Excel. I have a sheet that pulls from attached sheets using VLOOKUP and I added a simple worksheet change macro to auto resize the height of cells to match the information being pulled via VLOOKUP:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Rows("3:11").AutoFit
End Sub
My problem is that when the cells autofit it highlights the rows and some of the highlighting won't go away until the screen is scrolled. This is not much of a problem for me, but I do not want it to be an inconvenience to the other people who will be using this. Is there anyway to get rid of this highlighting or at least make it so that it behaves normally and all cells will unhighlight when a new cell is selected? I'm attaching a copy of the work in progress.
