Force New Active Cell When Maximum Number Of Characters Is Reached
Jan 16, 2008
We have a form that requires descriptive comments to be entered into several rows of merged cells. My goal is to have the form be able to automatically dropped down to the next row of merged cells when the current row of merged cells reaches a maximum number of characters.
And finally, the last row of merged cells would not allow any more characters than the maximum assigned but not advance to another cell automatically.
The rows I am working with specifically are:
Merged Cells F23:R23; A24:R24; A25:R25; A26:R26;...A29:R29
I have a worksheet that multiple users will be entering in data, this information is then being used to pull into a form located on a sepearte worksheet within the workbook. One of the cells in the input sheet has the potential to have more characters than excel will allow. It is my understanding the maximum number of characters per cell is 1,024.
What is the best way to setup my spreadsheet in the event the data contains more than 1,024 characters. The informatino going into the cell are legal descriptions of property so I want to be able to keep the description together in the final document in the other worksheet. Is there a way the user can input the entire decription in one cell, regardless of the character size, then have a formula to take the first 1,024 characters and put them in one cell, followed by another formula to put the next 1,024 characters in the next cell?
Then in my main document I would use the concatenate formual to combine these two cells into one.
Using Excel 2007. I have a limit of 80 characters and spaces in a particular cell and I need to force those characters/spaces over 80 to the next cell. Is that possible?
I am looking for VBA that will add the value of the current active cell on the sheet to the value in cell F12. The maximum value of F12 cannot exceed 1000. So if the value in F12 = 950 and 100 is the value in the active cell the maximum value in F12 should show 1000, not 1050.
We need to reach a cell value by using increment of another cell value. But ideally the results will all be in one cell.
Now to make it a little more advance there could be an overhang of the board in A3 which would need to be deducted from the first increment.
Example :
A1 = 5193mm (Lenght of beam) A2 = 600mm (Width of board) A3 = 200 (Overhang) A4 = 400 - 1200 - 1800 - 2200 - 2800 - 3400 - 4000 - 4600 (End Result, The formula wont do the next sum as it exceeds A1)
Of course the vaules of A1 and A2 will vary but that shouldnt make any difference to the formula.
I was hoping that my formula would give me the count number based on the Maximum time (latest time) and the Name field...My result is a 0 instead of 62 (the correct answer).
To ensure correct data entry, I need to ensure that the filled cells in a column are always in Uppercase for example, irrespective of whether they are typed in upper or lower case.
I have found the following code, which seems to work quite well, even though I have the impression that it slowed my workbook down slightly.
There might be an easy solution for this, but I can't seem to figure it out. I'm trying to do a vlookup with the lookup value being #CFDMSMCSA*4. But the lookup table also has a value #CFDMSMCSAM4 in it. It keeps returning the value for this #CFDMSMCSAM4 because of the * in the first string. Any ideas.
Im struggling how to even start writing this code. What im trying to do is go down column S from row 2 down and sum up each cell until the sum = 700 then delete all the rows below that with some thing in them.
In column A I have a set of Ids that are not unique. In column B I have a set of latlong values for those Ids in column A. In column D I have the unique list of Ids from column A(Removed duplicates from column A & pasted them in column D). In column E, I need the latlong value which has highest frequency for each Id. I tried countif,Frequency and tried mixing them up with various other formulas but it is out of my reach.
There is a chart encompasing column A, B and C. The column D has certain numbers stored in its cells. All I wont is to build a code which would check the value of the cell in column D which is in the same row as the active cell, and then paste certain date into the active cell - basing on the value of the cell in column D.
Here an example:
Sub pasteif() first one) column D has 'if the value is i.e 2 then it should paste into the active cell whatever there is in Range F1:G1 'if other value is present in this case in cell D1 (it is always the D column) then other range would copied into the active cell Range("F1:G1").Copy ActiveCell.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False End Sub
I need a VBA code to find the number of characters in each cell and display the result in next column.
For Ex: ColA: HI who There
output should be
ColA,ColB HI,2 who,3 there,5
I have shown example for 3 rows only but there are chances like it contains more than 3 rows(Dynamic rows).I tried by creating Range variable but I couldn't succeeded.
in ROW 1 I have columns A thru AD populated with a number in each cell. what I need to do is take that number and fill the below cell with the number times a set character. for instance, A1 has "4" in it, so I want A2 to look like "----"
I'm creating a spreadsheet (Excel 2003) in which a user enters data in several cells, each of which will permit different numbers of characters (to include spaces). For example, in the first cell, the user will be limited to 50 characters, in the second cell, the limit is 30 characters, and so on.
I found the data validation error alert feature, but want to give the user a cue that the entry is too long so they know to stop typing before moving to the next cell. If they only are alerted when they finish making the entry, they might not take the time to properly reconstruct the entry to meet the size limitation. I'm trying to make this more user-friendly.
Is there a way to set up the worksheet so the user knows that the entry is approaching the character limit? For example, each character filling an individual cell or having a display appear with a count-down for the number of characters remaining in the limit, or something similar.
I have a column that is made up of postcodes, lat, long, eastern, northern data eg: SK10 5BA, 53.291013, -2.096675, 393652, 377121
And I want to end up with a column containing the lat (53.291013) and another containing the long (-2.096675).
I have worked out to use formula's to remove a certain number of characters from the left and right of the cell, but the challenge here is the postcode at the begining of the data, can be varying in length.
know of a formula that will let me copy a certain number of characters within the cell, but counted from the right, as the eastern and northern numbers are always the same length.
I have a cell (A1) with a number in it. The number has 30 digits. I need a formula for (B1) that will enter the same number as A1 but restrict the number to 28 digits. Basically I need it to cut off the last 2 digits.
Count the numbers of the characters in a cell. The number of characters must be appear in another cell. This number must be refresh when you type the key, not when you push enter.
I'm trying identify the active cell row number in a current region for viRows below. Currently I'm getting the active cell row number on the total worksheet.
With ActiveCell.CurrentRegion viCols = .Columns.Count viRows = .Range(ActiveCell.Row).Count End With
I have a description for a couple trucks in my inventory, rather than retyping all the mileage, I would like to select the miles out of the description.
Example: 14.0 Detroit 515 HP, 10 Spd OD, Engine Brake, Air Ride Suspension, 3.42 Ratio, 234" WB, 70" Double Deck Condo, 22.5LP Tires, Aluminum/Steel Wheels, Tandem Axle, 12,000# FA, 40,000# RA, 259,000 Miles
I have tried the find, left and mid formulas but haven't put something together to work just right. I would like to select the 7 characters to the left of "Miles".
i have a problem counting the number of characters in each cell in column "A" in a sheet and checking if number of characters in a cell exceeds 5 characters.
