I just had an employee come to me and ask to take a look at his Excel spreadsheet. One of the columns auto filled the word General all the way down. I tried to do a find and replace but it did not work. Then I tried to just delete the cell and noticed that the text disappears when you click into the cell. This "ghost" text is frustrating me and I can not get it removed

I'm trying to make an excel formula that generalizes product names based on their format. So the general format would be XYZ08/T13. I know a ? is equal to a general letter, but is their a symbo that specifically means letter or number. I'm running into problems using the ? because the formula ends up identifying additional items that are not products as products.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there any excel-addin which offers function in which you could search any excel function (not just formula) so that you could access any function in a seconds, just like google desktop search for windows.
Right now you could use quick access for most common functions you use and shortcuts for functions in different group. But if there is universal search for all the functions, it is going to be faster for any access!

Using Excel 2010 - I have a large workbook with multiple worksheets - been using it succesfully every day for a long time. All of a sudden every empty cell, and any cell not specifically formated in every worksheet has a default cell format of Time. Any new workbook created is OK.. defaults to 'General' - But, if I add a new blank worksheet to this particular workbook it defaults to 'Time' format. How did the default cell format for this workbook become set to 'Time' from 'General' and how do i fix it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a set of data that has a company name using commas to separate INC and LLC from the company name. e.g. Acme Explosives, LLC
I'm using Excel 2010, and when I try to use the find/replace functionality to find commas, I get an error message saying "We couldn't find what you were looking for. Click Options for more ways to search.
Short of editing all the fields manually (only about 300, so not too bad), I'm hoping there is a simple way to replace these commas with nothing.
I have a procedure that allows me to view and make changes to data in a table. I list the current values for the item in one column and use simple formula to copy that value to another column where if there are changes that need to be made, the formula is simply overwritten. The Macro is then selected using a command button and the formulas are all overwritten using copy/paste values to keep from writing out the formula to the data table. These values are then all written back to the data table, current values are overwritten with whatever is in the update column, new data or old data.
I have one cell out of 48 that has decided to march to the tune of a different drummer. The format changes from General to Text and the formula written from the macro is what shows up in the cell instead of the value of the formula. Never a big disciplinarian, I have to wonder if I have been too lenient on the cell and this defiance is the price I have to pay.
The sheet is protected only allowing entry into the cells available for update.
Here is the bit of code that affects this cell (starting from a format of General:
Code:
Sheets("Product Data").Cells(ItemRow, 3).Value = Sheets("Update").Cells(6, 8)
Sheets("Update").Cells(6, 8).FormulaR1C1 = "=(RC[-6])"
I just don't see anything that would change the format, and these are the only two lines that even reference cells(6,8).
I tried to set the format for the cell from within the Macro, but with the sheet being protected, it just dumps me out to my error message.
I think I am working all around this in Excel 2003 and feel like I am in the neighborhood, but can't seem to quite get there. On sheet1 I have 2 columns of 100s of rows. All of the cells in column A will be filled in with a date as time goes by (1-May-09 for example). Several of them may be 1-May-09 as a matter of fact. In column B, some of the cells will have a number in them and some of them will be empty. On sheet2, I want to construct a formula that returns a count of cells in column B that have a number in them based on a specific date in column A. For example:
AB
1-May
1-May777
1-May
1-May
1-May
2-May999
3-May
2-May
1-May
2-May111
1-May
If I could get the formula right, it would return an answer of 1 for 1-May in the example, because only 1 of the 1-May entries in column A has a number in the adjacent cell in column B. A formula for 2-May would return an answer of 2 since only 2 of the 2-May entries in column A have numbers in the adjacent cell in column B, and so on for the month. If I understand things right, there are too many arguments for COUNTIF. It seems that SUMPRODUCT should work, but I can't make it so.
I have a single work book with 8 sheets (I am using Excel 2010 BTW) and I am trying to find a total of times a word appears across all the sheets in column "C"
I found this formula on another thread. =SUM(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Sheet"&{1,2,3}&"!C1:C1000"),"="&H3)) with an example. I made the changes that I needed for my purposes
This worked but only after I renamed the sheets to Sheet1, Sheet2, etc.
Is there a way get the same results from the above formula if all the sheets are named after our reps? Example: sheet1 is named Dan, Sheet2 is Nick, etc?
I need to count how many times the word Test is in the range B4:H9 with
Range N2 = Test the formula below works if Test is only in the cell once.
=COUNTIF($B$4:$H$9,"*" & N2 & "*")
But I have data in cells like below, this is all in one cell, so how would I have it count all the times test is in the range when some cells have test 2 or more times in a single cell?
5
Test
8am-2pm
Test

I need my macros to search for the word "Cancel" or "Cancelled" in columns "T" and "U". Once found, I need the macros to make that entire row an opaque shading.
There will be other wording in these cells that contain "Cancel" or "Cancelled". Is it possible for the macros to search in the sentence and find the words "Cancel" or "Cancelled"
I started on the code below but am stuck.
I am trying to automate the below process:
1. I have a excel file with Japanese words in column A and their English equivalents in column B.
2. I am trying to create a Macro and assign it to a button. On pressing the button Macro should be able to:
3. open a form where I can enter location of a word file.
4. Macro should open the word file specified in (3).
5. Macro will pick up first Japanese word from excel file (Sheet 1 - A1)
6. Search for that word in Word file
7. Replace the Japanese words in Word file with their English equivalent from excel (B1)
8. Then it should search for second word (A2) and replace with its equivalent (B2) and so on till it reaches last filled cell in excel file column A.
After a lot of search I could find a code from net (Below), made a few changes, but it is not working.

I am in the middle of automating a process here at work, the program takes a word, "pencil" for example, from excel. It will then open up a word document with content already in it (premade template). The program will then find all instances of a string, "placepencilhere" for example, and will replace that instance with the string from excel.
Basically I want to be able to take a variable that has a stored string value from excel and use it to replace another variable in a word document.
I tried recording a replace (ctrl+f, replace tab) macro, copying the code, and inserting it into the excel vba code.. but I get a error message. Here is what I have:

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to a column be filled automatically by what is written on others columns.

I created a lab result page for long term patients. thus, they may have 1 to 1000 lab results. so i need to create an infinite print range, but just printing the filled ones.
Right after column J, print 2nd page if filled, if not, dont. And printing A1:J6 to every page is a good solution to not to lose data in long term.

I would like to figure out a formula that will calculate what percentage of a column is filled based on the total number of rows.
For instance if I have Column K and that will have delayed savings by sales pursuit, I want to be able to calculate the percentage of what is being delayed from a total number of pursuits (basically the count of rows in column A). Ideally this would be a dynamic range (offset).
Ex. Say I have 25 rows in column A, but I only have 2 rows in column K filled. How can I calculate that there is a 8% (2/25) delay?
Is there any formula or macro that can be used to detect the value of the last filled in cell in a column or row? For example, I fill in column B each day with a new numerical variable, so on day one B1 = 100, on day 2 B2 = 200, on day 3 B3 = 150 and so on. I would like the last variable entered in column B to appear in, for example, cell A1. Is there any way to do that?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have to convert a excel workbook I have into a csv for import into a database. The workbook contains multiple worksheets that are named individually. What I would like to do is get a way or code to add a column to the beginning of each worksheet and then populate each cell of that new column (column A) with the name of the worksheet (of course only up to the range of the data). I already have a macro that can copy and consolidate the contents of all the sheets into a single sheet.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have written several pieces of VBA code which produce a sequence of tables on a single worksheet (with the rather original title "Tables"). The code often adds tables to the end of the current set of tables, and to do this, I need to know where the next available space is.
I have a solution which I have been using for ages now, which checks each cell in an appropriate column until a sequence of 3 blank cells has been found as I can guarentee that the tables are at most 2 cells apart. It then sets i=i-3 to give me the location of the first empty cell.
Blankcount = 0
i = 3
While Blankcount < 3
If Cells(i, 3) = "" Then
Blankcount = Blankcount + 1
Else
Blankcount = 0
End If
i = i + 1

i = i - 3
My is updated very frequently and i just wonder if it is possible to display the last filled cell of a certain column in another cell.
Imagine column B (B5:B1253) is filled with average sales values by using formula "B$5:B5" and i want to display the most uptodate average value in cell B1.
I need a formula or macro to fill a cell with the last entry in a given column.
Anyone have any advice?
I want a macro to be able to select & highlight (ready for copy/paste) all cells in the column range "A2" to the last populated cell in column A.
