Fill Cell With Single Character
Nov 27, 2006
I would like to enter an X or O into a square cell so that it completely fills the cell.
I want to eliminate the space between the text character and the cell border.
The character does not necessarily have to be text so long as it can be automatically entered into the cell by a macro and can also be deleted by a sub routine to refresh the worksheet for new data.
I created autoshapes for a cross and a circle but I have no idea how to substitute these for the text characters in the worksheet or delete them afterwards.

I am trying to do is put an asterisk at the beginning and the end of the Information in a cell for the entire column. Is there a way to make a macro that, once I highlight a column, it will put an asterisk at the beginning and end of the information in each cell in that column until a blank cell is reached where the macro will then stop? This will save me a lot of work. It will work for me if a particular column has to be defined in the macro, but would be better if it is one I can just highlight.
This would also work fine for me if I just had to highlight the cells that I want to use as well. Sorry if this seems to be a stupid question, but I am a very novice excel user

I have a string of text in cell A2. In cell B2 of my spreadsheet is a formula that calculates a number based on the text string in cell A2.
I want to write a VBA loop that removes a single character from the cell A2 string, then calculate the new value in cell B2. I want this loop to continue until the value in B2 falls below a set value (in this case 60).
My code so far
Sub trim_text()
Dim mytext As String
Dim myanswer As Integer
mytext = Range("A2")
myanswer = Range("B2")
Do While myanswer > 60
mytext = (Right(mytext, Len(mytext) - 1))
Loop
End Sub
This obviously does not work. In my excel table I have a formula in cell B2 to calculate "myanswer" will this work, or does that code have to be placed into the VBA code?

have to deal with a text database into Excel but ended up finding irregular format that need to be fixed. As it can be seen within the text right below, there are space delimiters in between the words. I want to replace always the 2nd space from right to left with a semicolon.

When I try to add the Richtextbox control, I get this error: "The control could not be created because it is not properly licensed." Since I'm in a corporate setting, I don't think I can get around this (since I don't have access to the computer's registry and several users will be using it). I have figured out a way to present the user with some rich text controls (Bold, Italics, Underline, Font, Color, etc), which will add special characters around the selected text which then is interpreted by a procedure and formats the text in the output destination (HTML document).
However, that tends to clutter up the textbox and makes it somewhat cumbersome for some users to edit the text. I'd prefer to have them see the formatted text in the textbox, if possible. So, is there a way to get some sort of Rich Text Box without the RichTextBox control? It's long shot, I know.

I need a formula that counts the number of cells in a range that only contains one character. Example, column A contains:
Hello
Goodbye
A
B
Hello
Goodbye
In the above, I want the result to be 2. I've tried =countif(a1:a6,len=1) but that doesn't work.

There is a method to use ROW(1:10) within an array formula to strip a string into individual elements e.g.
HELLO > {"H","E","L","L","O"}
I cannot find it anywhere, thought it was something like =MID(A1,ROW(1:10),1) but not yielding results.

I have two excel sheets exported from two sources of information. Both sheets contain 1 column which is the primary data, ie, there is no duplicate of that information. Each information in these column represent 1 device in the real world.
Now, for example:
In one sheet, I have: SDV0620B
In the other sheet, I have: SSDV-B0620B
Please note that, both data actually represent the same device. What I now need to make sure is that, I ccan identify each corresponding data from the two sheets.
So, here is the problem that I am facing, identifying two data which are same but has two different representation techniques. (since the data are from two different sources)
I came up with the idea that, if I can check the sequence of characters with one column to another, then I might be able to pull it off.
For example,
we take SDV0620B, and match the sequence of character with SSDV-B0620B.
therefore, first is S (from SDV0620B)
match with SSDV-B0620B
then, D
match SSDV-B0620B
then V
match SSDV-B0620B
and so on, until the end.
And if the 1st sequence is found in the second sequnce of characters, then it is called a match! Hope I have explained it clearly. I have provided a file with some of the data copy and pasted out, to give you an idea of what the values look like.

Following the tips doesn't allow to remove a character.
I exported email addresses from Outlook and they have the following character ' in front of the email address.
Using Excel 2007.. it says :"check if your search formatting and criteria are defined correctly. If you are sure that matching data exists in this workbook, it may be on a protected worksheet. Excel cannot replace data on a protected worksheet"
So I made a new file, and copied and pasted the cells into the new spreadsheet.. same message.

I'm creating an excel spreadsheet that will be sent out to a few users to enter data into. In this spreadsheet, multiple columns contain drop down lists created using the Data Validation tool. The lists are referencing named ranges on a second worksheet.
In these drop down lists are terms that consists of one or two words. What I'm trying to do is when a user goes to select an option from the drop down list, I want the matching one letter code to be entered into the cell instead. For example,
Column AK has drop down list with following options:
Good
Moderate
Poor
When a user selects one of the options, I want one the following respective letter to appear instead......

I have got a list of numeric abbreviations, for instance 10739011/21/31/41. What it should really display are the numbers 10739011, 10739021, 10739031 and 10739041 (the first six figures stay the same). All the numbers in my list are 8 figures long. I want to change the list from the list seperated by the backward slash to the complete numbers. I have uploaded an example of the list with backward slash between the numbers. Is there a way that Excel can automatically change these numbers to the full numbers?
Because all the numbers are 8 figures long, I thought the first 6 figures of the 1st number can be copied and those 6 figures pasted before the other two figures after the backslash. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;sorry, pressed OK too quickly. The problem is that there are sometimes 4 numbers in the cell, sometimes 6 and once three. I would like Excel to complete all the numbers in the cell and then move on to the cell underneath it and so on. Also, I would like each number to have it's own cell.

I want to test a cell for the type of value as 678/256 or 345/872/098/987 etc. The common character in each would be the "/". First, I need to check the cell for this, then take the first number and compare it to an integer(if it is <> , or = to). I hope I am clear with my situation.

I'm using the hidden-row trick to auto-fill cells beneath the hidden rows.
For this to work, every cell that is to be auto-filled in must have a character in every cell above it.
How can I make sure that my unfilled cells always have a character in them? If a user deletes the contents of the cell, I want a single character to stay in the cell (I want a backslash). This way, there will always be either a backslash, or the user-filled data in the cell. It can never be empty.

I have following kind of sting in the cell.
<Abc_desc><to_location>10102535</to_location><from_location>100</from_location><abc_nbr>00000000009882203100</abc_nbr><abc_type>C</abc_type><con_qty>113</con_qty><bcd_nbr>00000000009882203</bcd_nbr>
I want to extract the number between <abc_nbr> and </abc_nbr>. i.e., "00000000009882203100".
The starting number of the string may varies.
Macro should pick the number and paste it into the next cell.

I would like to take a value in a cell and remove the second and third characters in that cell.
For example: "V0010" would become "V10."
I've found formulas for removing the beginning and ending characters, but not a way to remove from the middle.

I am using an exported dbf from filemaker pro. This is an established dbf, with over 2,000 sku's in it. Here is what I want to do.
I am using Indata and InDesign to create a catalog. I need for excel to pull the first character from a cell and put it in another cell. i.e.
I have a dbf where I have author last name, and title of book. I need for excel to pull the first character of each of these fields and put them in their own cell/column. This will allow me to use these new columns to make the " headers" for my InData/InDesign doc.

I'm trying to loop through a list of about 1300 items and copy the rows where one of the cells has a fill color to 2 different sheets in the same workbook. If there's no fill color, the row moves to a different sheet.
My code is determining that all cells have a fill.
For Each cell In Range("Classification")
If cell.Interior.Color blank Then
cell.Select
Range(Selection, Selection.Offset(0, -9)).Copy Destination:=Range("Compliance")
Range(Selection.Offset(0, -5), Selection.Offset(0, -9)).Copy Destination:=Range("Mstar")
Else
cell.Select
Range(Selection, Selection.Offset(0, -9)).Copy Destination:=Range("RP")
End If

Essentially what I'm trying to accomplish is import a file from Quickbooks and determine whether it was a Credit Card, Check or Invoice based on the account number.
For example:
45-12345 should return the value CC in an adjacent cell because it contains the "-" character.
I0123456 should return the value INV in an adjacent cell because it contains the "I" character.
01234567 should return the value ACH in an adjacent cell because it doesn't contain either character.
I tried using VLookup, but I can't figure out how to write a formula for when it just contains a character, only if it matches it or is text/number.

I have a requirement... which need to search from a cel if it march then replace with below name. When user gives a selection screen, month displays in a cell A1.

or
It search the cell A1 for MAI, then replace with MAY & also should search for if A1 is OKT then replace OCT, & also if A1 is DZC then replace with DEC.
I know the function of ....
[=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*MAI*",A1)),"MAY",A1)] =
