If I run my sub all columns go back to the set width. But I want the width to reset when the width is changed.

Print To Fixed Width File
Apr 4, 2012I have this data below in an excel worksheet. I'm using the ws.Cells(x,x).Value command to read values from the cells an print them out to a .prn fixed width file. However when it writes it to the .prn file my numeric fields don't have are not 0.00 but 0. And also the numeric fields are left justified I would like them right justified in the .prn file.
Excel Spreadsheet values
1.135.102/29/120.000.001.135.202/29/120.000.00
My output to .prn file looks like below:
1.135.1 02/29/12 0 0
1.135.1 02/29/12 0 0
I would like my output to .prn file to look like the following:
1.135.1 02/29/12 0.00 0.00
1.135.1 02/29/12 0.00 0.00
Import Fixed Width Text File
Apr 28, 2008I am having a problem importing fixed width text files with VBA. I created a user form for a dept to import a number of reports we get as text files into Excel. I imported each line into 1 cell (Column A) in Excel and then used mid functions to split out the columns. Everything works fine on my PC. However, when I use other PCs to import the same files (either off the same shared drive or the PC hard drive) the columns are not splitting in the correct places. Does anybody know what could cause this. Since the columns are splitting based off a fixed number of characters, I'm assuming Excel is somehow distorting a character count while opening the text file. I did notice that if I try to import text files saved on one of our shared drives, they do not import correctly on my PC either. However, if I copy and save the same text file to any of the other shared drives or my PC, it imports with no problems.

Jan 24, 2014I'm trying to make this macro work to resize images for our fashion Look Book. In theory, it should work. But of course it does not Here is the code we are using:
Code:
Sub BIGcrop()
Selection.Height = 507.6
x = Selection.ShapeRange.Width
y = x / 2
Z = y - 144
[Code]....
I want all my pictures to have a height of 7.05 inches and a width of 4. The height comes out different everytime depending on the scaling of the template I'm using. I need it to adjust accordingly. I'm open to having the image move into merged cells, as long as it will first adjust the height and then crop the sides (so the orientation stays the same).
Text To Columns Macro (fixed Width) With Predefined Format On Result

View 4 Replies View RelatedAdding Column Widths Of Merged Area To Match Single Column Width
Sep 19, 2012I needed to match the width a merged area of seven columns to a single column width (for row autofitting). Adding the column unit values and setting the single column to that value produced a significantly narrower width.
The documentation mentions that the column width unit is scaled to the font type and size and the absolute width is given in points.
This is set by the normal style setting in Excel Options or by VBA application.standardfontsize = 8 (in this case).
For instance, ten columns of Arial font 8 at 8.5 units you would think to be equivalent to a single column of 85 units.
In points, the difference is 420 vs. 386.25, or 33.75 points.
Well, the standard character zero has a width at this setting of 4.5 points and 1 unit is 8.25 points, leaving 3.75 points for margins.
Then (10-1) margins allowances time 3.75 points resolves the difference.
Determining the margin allowances is straightforward, and reveals that the gradation with size is stepped by MS design.
For instance, sizes up to 11 use 3.75 points for margins and increasing points for characters (except between 9 & 10).
Sizes 12 through 18 use 5.25 points, 20 & 22 use 6.75, 24 & 26 use 8.25, etc.
I have created a table for this purpose, however I rarely use a "normal" other than 8, so I can probably use that set in programming.

VBA Listbox Column Width?
Jun 5, 2012I want to fill a listbox with n columns so there is no space other than the text in it.
I have tried this:
listbox1.columncount = 2
listbox1.columnwidth(len(activecell.text);len(activecell.offset(0,1).text))
Or:
mystring = len(activrcell.value) or refer to the excel column width
listbox1.columnwidth(mystring;mystring2)
but I get an error message.
Or max of list len or something. The default width is to big and specifying the length could make it to small.

Jul 22, 2007I'm creating a map like image with Excel, and I've set the column width and row height to certain dimensions. Now I'm entering in some text into them, and I noticed that when I added in 2 digit numbers, the column width expanded a little bit. I want to prevent this from happening, and still be able to enter in the 2 digit text (since it WILL fit, and it's expanding to keep that extra bit of space).
Is there any way to lock the dimensions?

Copying Column Width From Another Sheet
Aug 11, 2009I have an Excel file where there are multiple people's information on one sheet, and I have to split them out into multiple sheets. So I have written a loop to successfully do that.
However, I need all the sheets to have the same column widths as the original sheet. So after I insert a new sheet and cut and paste the appropriate data, I call another Sub Procedure from my main Procedure to do this. That Sub Procedure looks like this:
Sub MySetColumnWidth()
' Copy the column width for the first 30 columns
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 30
ColumnS(i).ColumnWidth = Sheets("Sheet1").ColumnS(i).Width
Next i
End Sub
However, I am not getting the results I expect. The column widths change, but are not the right sizes, and I have no idea why.
One odd thing I have notice, is that is mind code, whenever I type in:
Columns(i)
VBA automatically changes it to
ColumnS(i)
I have no idea why. I have no code or variables named "ColumnS". I am not sure if this is somehow playing into my problems...
BTW, I am using Excel 2007.
Finding Max Column Width Without A Loop?
Jun 28, 2006I have a range of cells which I wish to print to a .txt document. However, I would like these cells to stay aligned, one on top of the other. I am currently doing that by finding the cell with the widest piece of data for each column, and storing the width that each column needs to be to an array of integers. Then, when printing out the range, I simply add spaces to each piece of data its width is the same as the max column width. I am finding the max column width using the following loop:
'find the width for each column and store in col_width()
For cur_col = 1 To total_cols
'skip the tag switches column
If cur_col <> 3 Then
max_data_width = 0
For cur_row = 1 To total_rows
cell_data_width = Len(Find_String_Diagnostics(diagnostic_range.Cells(cur_row, cur_col)))
If cell_data_width > max_data_width Then.................
