Find Unknown Char Contained In A String And Store It In Variable

Jun 4, 2013

I need to store a known index, unknown value in a variable so I can increase the value and use it in a database. It is used as a version number for a part and the versions go like: "00" -> "AA" -> "AB" -> .... -> "AZ" -> "BA"... etc.

VB:
If tool.Worksheets("TRB Database").Cells(A, "R").Value <>
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Design Calculator, Q").Cells(7, "C").Value Or
tool.Worksheets("TRB Database").Cells(A, "AA").Value <>
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Design Calculator, Q").Cells(5, "K").Value Or tool.Worksheets("TRB Database")

[Code] ....

That is a part of the increase and when I try to increase "AA" by 1 it goes to "B" and not "AB".

VB: tool.Worksheets("TRB Database").Cells(row1, "D").Value = Chr(Asc(tool.Worksheets("TRB Database").Cells(A, "D").Value) + 1)

This is where I increase the value.

I'm trying to validate a string that can have only dots and numbers, but there can't be two dots in a row. String has to begin with a number and end to a dot

CHAR(10) Linefeed / CHAR(13) CarriageReturn Displays Square

Jan 8, 2008

I have a cell that is acutally a concatination of several other cells. The formula is something like this....

=A1 & B1 & A1 & C1 & A1 & D1 & A1

Cell A1 contains the formula =char(13). This forces a line break between each data element.

My problem is that on some peoples machines the cell displays with a square at the end. I'm not sure why it does this only on some machines. Is there a better way to do this or is there a way to suppress the square?

Find The Longest String Including A Variable

May 22, 2007

I have a database application which appends an "A" to the sequence number each time an entry is amended and then posts it as a new row in the database. This means there can be multiple entries with the same number but with different amount of "A"'s afterwards.

e.g.
Cell A6 contains seq no 1
Cell A7 contains seq no 2 - Seq no 1 is subsequently amended so...
Cell A8 contains seq no 1A - 1A is subsequently amended so...
Cell A9 contains seq no 1AA - and so on and so forth..........

What i am trying to achieve is a formula which will look at the record number which is required (i.e. 1) and will search for record 1 with the most number of "A"'s appended. This way the user will only be amending the most up to date record.

The formula i have tried (but doesn't work) is:

=INDEX(A6:A65536,MATCH(B2&MAX(LEN(A6:A65536)),A6:A65536,1),0)

(B2 is the record the user wants to amend)

Store VBA Variable For Later Use

Sep 16, 2009

I have some code (listed below) that will open 2 groups of files(for testing purposes, I have been using for only 2 file prefixes, but will need for upwards of 10, and more may be added in the future), depending on what files have been opened in the past (it will skip those) and then import the new ones.

I am now trying to clean up my code, and having alot of it abled to be maintained be editing a spreadsheet (administator controlled)
What I would like to do is something similar to:

Assigning A Variable To An Unknown Cell

Dec 27, 2006

I'm attempting to create a macro that will look at the total in column (K) and send an e-mail to two different addresses, depending on the amount. If the amount is over $10,000 then one address (over@macro.com) if under, then the other (under@macro.com)

My main problem is that I never know what cell the total is going to be in.

I currently have all quotes going back to the person that sent in the request, no matter what the amount. Their e-mail is in the sheet.

So what I think I need to do, is find the last cell in column K with data and assign it a variable. If that variable is over $10,000 then I can send the e-mail to a hard coded address. If it's over, I just use my original code.

Set Variable To Unknown Last Used Cell In Known Column

Returning Row Numbers Where One Word Contained In Text String - Multiple Occurrences

Oct 30, 2013

I am trying to identify the row(s) where a match occurs when there can be multiple occurrences of the match.

A
B
C

1
john brown
Brown
True

2
Cathy Smith

3
Brown excavating company

4
XYZ Corp

5
Brown Advisors Inc.

The first test I ran in cell C1 with the information above was to determine if "Brown" was located in the range of A1:A5 using formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH("*"&B1&"*",A1:A5,0))=TRUE,"True","False")

In the case of the word "Brown" it occurs in the range of A1:A5 three times, so the result of the above formula would be "True"

Now what I would like to do is return the locations, in this case the row number(s), where the word brown is contained range of A1:A5 because in the case of the word Brown, it occurs three separate times in the range of A1:A5. I would like the resulting value of the formula in this case to be "1, 3, 5" indicating the word Brown occurs in rows 1, 3, and 5. The formula also needs to work in case there is only one match as well.

I tried using the below array formula:
={MATCH(FALSE,ISERROR(SEARCH(B1,'Working List of Vendors'!$A$1:$A$5)),0)}
But it would only return the first occurrence of the match which in this case would be row 1, or "1"

Set Up An Equation For An Unknown Variable In A Formula Equal To 0

Nov 1, 2008

how to set up an equation for an unknown variable in a formula equal to 0 (an Even-Money Probability Formula for Risk Arbitrage assessments).

The formula is as follows, where I am attempting to solve for Pe:

(Pe*EP)+(P2*EL)=0

Pe=even money probability (placed in column B1 in Excel)
EP=expected profit if deal closes (placed in column B2 in Excel)
P2=probability of deal breaking up (=1-Pe) (placed in column B3 in Excel)
EL=expected loss if deal breaks up (placed in column B4 in Excel)

B1*B2)+(B3*B4)=0

So, once again, I am attempting to solve for Pe, or column B1

B1=(-(1-B1)*B4)/B2

say, EP (or B2) =$2.00 and EL (or B4)=-$4.00

B1=(-(1-B1)*-4)/2

B1=2*(1-B1)

Variable To Store Multiple Values

I need a bit of help with the below macro which I am trying to create. I recorded the below vlookup, which works perfectly. It checks a list on sheet “Map” and returns a value depending on whether the reference is one of the 6 or not. These 6 are likely to change over time so I would prefer to declare them as variables rather than build them directly into the macro

Store Current Sheet Name As Variable

Aug 27, 2008

I have a workbook that is composed of forty (or so) worksheets containing data and a single summary worksheet that has command buttons that take the user to the appropriate data worksheet for their specific project. Each data worksheet is exactly the same in terms of where the header row starts, and the specific headings.

On each data worksheet there is a command button that when clicked, builds a pivot table of the data for the current project. I have been able to create VBA code that hides the columns containing the data and then creates the pivot table in the empty (unhidden) columns n the same worksheet. This works fine, but is not a good solution from a useability standpoint.

What I have been trying to do is when the command button is clicked I want to capture the name of the current worksheet as a variable in VBA, go to a separate worksheet to build the pivot table, and when the user clicks a ‘Review Data’ command button on the pivot table worksheet they are taken back to their original worksheet containing their data. Is this possible?

Store Cell Address In Variable

Sep 12, 2006

I would like to record the address of the last set of cells that data was input into to a variable so that a user can choose to delete the last entry. An 'Undo' button really.

What I have is a user form that writes different materials to thier respective sheets in the database. (Material1, Material2, etc.) Some materials have a different number of variables (some have a width and some don't, but all have a quantity.)

This is the code I have for adding the material to the database (each material has it's own button with material specific code.)

Private Sub AddToMaterial1_Click()
Set c = Worksheets("Material1").Range("a65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

c.Value = Me.Material1Quantity.Value
c.Offset(0, 1).Value = Me.Material1Description.Value
c.Offset(0, 2).Value = Me.Material1Length.Value

Dim lastenty1
lastentry1 = c.Address
Dim lastentry2
lastentry2 = c.Offset(0, 1).Address
Dim lastentry3
lastentry3 = c.Offset(0, 2).Address
Dim lastentry4
lastentry4 = c.Offset(0, 3).Address
Dim lastentry5
lastentry5 = vbNullString
Dim lastentry6
lastentry6 = vbNullString

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

The following code is what I am trying to do for a single button to clear the last entry to the database.

Private Sub RemoveLastEntry_Click()
Range(lastentry1).ClearContents
Range(lastentry2).ClearContents
Range(lastentry3).ClearContents '(There is always at least 3 cells to clear)
If lastentry4 = nullstring Then Exit Sub
Range(lastentry4).ClearContents
If lastentry5 = nullstring Then Exit Sub
Range(lastentry5).ClearContents
If lastentry6 = nullstring Then Exit Sub
Range(lastentry6).ClearContents
End Sub

Store The Selected Cell's Address Into A Variable

May 1, 2006

I have a table in which I have a "patient" column and a "page" column. The macro searches for a patient's number, then looks if this patient has the page "900.--". A patient may have more than one page, which will result in many rows with the same patient number. So far, my macro uses the search function to find a patient number, then compares the cell next to the active cell to see if it contains the page "900.--". If not, then my macro searches for the next patient and so on until the page is found and noted into another workbook or none is found.

In order to stop the loop, I am trying to store the address of the first cell found into a variable "rFirstCell" so that it can later on be compared to another variable, "rSecondCell", which represent the active cell. When both are the same, it means all the available search results have been tested and the loop should stop.

Sub testing()
Dim rRng As Range, rFirstCell As Range, rSecondCell As Range
Set rRng = Worksheets("Overview").[a1]
Dim sDeath As String
sDeath = "death"
ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = False
If LCase(rRng(2, 15).Value) = "x" Then
If LCase(rRng(2, 9).Value) = sDeath Then
Workbooks("DM Endpoint pages_test.xls").Activate
Range("A1").Select...........................

Use Private Sub Function To Store Clicked Cell As Variable For Use In Macro?

Apr 20, 2013

I have a spreadsheet with near 300 tabs, each with a picture in the tab. The main tab has a list of all other tabs, the goal is to allow the user to click on a cell next to an entry, and have Excel flash the referenced tab to allow the user to see what the entry is referencing. I have written a simple macro that activates a desired tab, unhides it, displays a message box to pause the macro, rehides the tab, then returns the user to the main tab.

Rather than creating a macro for all 300 tabs and creating buttons I would love to use the Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByBal Target As Range) or some variation thereof, to make my life much easier. The name of the tab is in cell A2, so I would want to have the user click on cell A1, activate the macro, then take A1 to A2 with something like A1 = A(x+1)->A2, then display the tab listed in A2. So rather than have 300 macros with Sheets("XYZ").Visible = True, I would love it to read Sheets(contents of referenced cell).Visible = True. with the contents of referenced cell coming from some manipulation of the cell I clicked on...

Summing Across Unknown Range In Unknown Cell

Oct 26, 2009

I've been working on a spreadsheet and these forums have been a great help. I'm now at the very last section and, surprise surprise, it's also the hardest!

I'm creating a stock trade recording sheet. I have a userform ask the user to enter a date, a time, the number of stock purchased, and the price of the stock. These are then entered in a new row.

Now what I want to do is have summary cells which say how many stocks were purchased and the total profit made for each day. Since each time is given its own row, I can't know in advance which rows to sum over. I also don't know on which days a trade was made. So a summary cell should only exist if a trade was made that day.

Could I do something like.... check if the date matches then sum over all the values for that date? So if column A has the dates, can I say "Search which rows in column A have this date" then "for those rows, sum column C"?

Also, how would I create a a row for each traded date's summary cell and enter the date in it? I've attached a spreadsheets which manually demonstrates what I want to do (no macros) and a spreadsheet with what I have so far (basic macros).

Any and all help much appreciated, I just need to get my head around creating and dealing with variable ranges. Is that a really advanced task? I don't think this is a one line solution so please bear with me while I make mistakes!
