Harvest Data From Workbooks With Inconsistent Titles

Dec 8, 2009

I have to pull data from a workbook poasted on a Sharepoint site on a weekly basis. The name of the spreadsheet changes each week, based on the date, and may not be consistent (ie: WBook12_4_9.xls, Wkbook12_04_09.xls, WBOOK12_4_09.xls). My users will have the spreadsheet open, and I'll tell them to ONLY have that one open, but how do I tell my macro to pull from that workbook?

Transpose Inconsistent Data Row Groups In Column

Jul 1, 2008

I have a data set in an Excel spreadsheet entered as one column of data. It is names with addresses, phone numbers, job title, etc. I want to select and transpose each person in the list so when I am done the person's name is in column A, Company name in column B and so on. The problem is the information listed is not the same for each person - so there is a different number of rows for each person. The names are in bold text though, so I need to select from one cell with bold text to the row BEFORE the next row with bold text and transpose the data for each selection. I found this forum by finding an old question here that is similar at Copy based on Bold Paste-transpose provided in that post and it produced no result.

Choosing Data Only Rows From List Of Which Includes Headers / Titles And Subtitles

Jun 6, 2014

I have an export spreadsheet which details information from column a to column p which i need ...(supplier code...net value..vat...comments..etc)

However there are also subheaders, sub totals titles which take up entire rows and contains data i do not need.

Is there a way of telling excel to choose certain rows (eg ...A19 to P19, A20, to P20, A45 to P45 )

depending on if the first cell of the rows i need eg Cell A19,A20, A45 etc contains a supplier code such as from the following list :

AC01NET
AD05
210
003
BL01
KF01
KF01
CA06

I would need to paste the selected rows into another sheet

Inconsistent Font Size?

Jun 10, 2013

I have my Excel set up for a default font size of 12 point.

I often download CSV data to insert into spreadsheets. It opens in a new spreadsheet, and it's properly displayed in 12 point size. When i copy and paste it into the ultimate target spreadsheet (which is also set to 12 point size) the pasted data shows up as 10-point and I have to change the font size back to 12-point every time.

Why is this happening and how can I avoid that re-sizing that occurs?

Ignore Inconsistent Formula

Aug 15, 2007

I want to stop those little green error checking markers in the top corner of cells from appearing in my spreadsheet. My formula is correct however the error markers appear in 40(ish) cells and make it look very untidy. I know there is the option of turning background error checking off, however isn't appealing to me as I have other worksheets where I want to check for errors. Also, my report is used by 20 people so I can't change the options which might affect other reports they may have.

What I'd like to do is either turn off the option for one specific worksheet, or add a few lines of code which sets the cell properties to ignore the error for each of the cells affected. I've tried to use macro recorder to work out how to ignore a cell but it doesn't record anything for this action. Is anyone aware of the correct piece of code to carry out this action?

Dragging Down Formulas With Inconsistent Cells

Jun 11, 2008

How figure out how to drag down a formula that looks like this for the first three cells (C3:C5)?

=(SUMPRODUCT(Polls!D2:D5,Polls!B2:B5))/(SUM(Polls!B2:B5))
=(SUMPRODUCT(Polls!D8:D11,Polls!B8:B11))/(SUM(Polls!B8:B11))
=(SUMPRODUCT(Polls!D14:D17,Polls!B14:B17))/(SUM(Polls!B14:B17))
...etc. 

Is there a way to let Excel know that I'm adding six to each cell, rather than it automatically adding one?

MATCH Function Inconsistent In Return Value

Jul 12, 2008

I am using Excel 2002 and trying to do something which should be simple with MATCH.

I have an array of numbers ordered, starting at 0 and incrementing by 0.05 up to 20. I am then using the MATCH function to find the relative position of numbers 0,1,2,3,4 and 5. However, for number 0,1 and 2 the return value is one less than what it should be, for the numbers 3, 4 and 5 it is working as expected. By the way, the match_type I am using is the default 1.

Also I have formatted everything to be numbers and tried various things already, so am beginning to wonder is this is a known issue.

Checkbox Format Inconsistent In Userform

Apr 26, 2007

OK I feel really stupid on this. I must be overlooking something very obvious.

If you look at the attached userform there are some checkboxes where the "check" has a bold appearance, and others where the check is not bold.

If you examine the properties of the checkboxes in VBE, they appear to be identical.

Compare Word With Inconsistent Addresses

Jun 17, 2008

I have 2 columns to compare which has almost same data but in different formats or sources. I need to update a 3rd columns as 'Yes or No' by checking the checking the data in both the columns. For ex. - Column A has data as - "BIENZ, STEPHEN R"
and Column B has data as - "SALTZER MED GRP/BIENZ". Now as 'BIENZ' is same in both columns so 3rd column should get updated as 'Yes'. There are 3000 rows which needs to be compared in this way.

Extracting Number From Inconsistent Text String

Jul 4, 2014

I have an excel stock price template, where I need the current price to calculate the mid point if the chart.

This is the text I get from the webquery

Underlying stock: SBIN 2699.00 as on Jul 04, 2014 15:30:36 IST

I need a formula to extract the stock price '2699.00' only from this text.

The problems are sometimes its may change to underlying "stock" to "index", SBIN to RELIANCE or TATASTEEL, and the price some times two digit say 16, some times 6 letters say 150.05, or 8 digits say 15160.00

Formula, the text in B1 and need the price at A100.

Multiple Worksheet Consolidation With Inconsistent Layouts

Jun 28, 2006

Problem:
I'm attempting to consolidate 3 columns of data that is a varying number of rows in length (a range of 0-1000 roughly) for 53 different worksheets (1 per week of the year, named '1' , '2', etc.). All three columns on each page are the same length. What I want to do is consolidate all the data onto one worksheet 3 columns wide and X rows long (so one week's range of data after the other, but it doesn't have to be in any specific order). I am looking mainly for code because that seems to me like the best option at this point unless someone can provide a viable alternative.

What I've tried:
I've tried on a smaller scale, 5 worksheets, naming the ranges using the OFFSET function to create a dynamic range and then trying to paste one right after the other with no luck getting it to paste such a large range. Going along with that I chopped and dropped some code from another online source (forum? tutorial? I don't remember) and modified it to consolidate the 5 named ranges, however, the code does not really seem feasible for 53 named ranges. Loops seem reasonable, but I couldn't come up with an easy way to cycle through the worksheet names and named ranges.

I only have a few hours worth of VBA tinkering so I'm sort of lacking, but I have other coding experience so the structures and concepts are familiar just the syntax and finer points are greek to me. I sadly don't yet have the time to sit and learn VBA either.

If there's an easy way to put a few loops in or you think it should loop through and copy each cell rather messing around with ranges then go for it.

Here's what the code looks like after I modified it: ....

Excel 2007 :: Inconsistent Time Scale - X Axis

Mar 8, 2012

Basically I have some performance figures for a fund that I want to make a chart for, the problem is that the first date (the start date of the fund) is 15/09/2011 but every reporting date after that is the end of the month.

So my data looks something like this (not real figures)

15/09/11 20
30/09/11 22
31/10/11 23
30/11/11 25
31/12/11 26
31/01/12 27.5
29/02/12 29

So what I want is a graph where the x axis starts at 15/09/11 but then the next label is 30/09/11 and 31/10/11 etc, while still keeping the scale proportionate to the dates, ie the distance between 15/09/11 and 30/09/11 will be half the distance between 30/09/11 and 31/10/11.

The 2 outcomes I seem to be stuck with is either forcing the graph to start at 31/08/11 and making the y axis cross at 15/09/11, however with this the x axis goes left past the y axis cross point and it just looks dumb, although everything right of the y axis is correct.

Or secondly I get the graph to start at 15/09/11 and set it to label every 1 month and all the labels are 15/09/11, 15/10/11, 15/11/11 etc

I have access to excel 2003 or 2007.

Inconsistent Text Lookup - Return Postcodes From A List Of Descriptions

May 21, 2013

I'm trying to write a formula which will return postcodes from a list of descriptions which aren't consistent in their layout.

For example, I need this to happen

UB3 3NQ - APR13
SW3 5RQ - APR13
Jul 12 - apr13 accrual - ME9 4FW
Mar 12 - apr13 accural - SO14 7P2

Returned to another column as,

UB3 3NQ
SW3 5RQ
ME9 4FW
SO14 7P2

The issue I'm having is that the postcodes aren't in the same place in order to use LEFT, RIGHT or MID functions, and they aren't always proceeded or followed by dashes or spaces in the same way.

I need the returned postcodes to come back in a uniform way so that any duplicates are grouped by the relevant pivot table.

Countif Sequencing Of Titles?

Jul 24, 2014

I need a column to autopopulate based on quantities of title entered by a user.

Each row has a Type (Column A) and a Sequence # (Column B), and I can get as far validating if a given row has same Type and Sequence# <= the sum of the quantities.

Now I'm struggling with counting down through the quantity of each title.

Each title should exhaust itself before moving on.

First Row (for Column Titles) Not Move

Aug 23, 2009

I have been given an Excel file. Upon opening it, I see that the top four rows do not move even if I scroll down. What I'd prefer is that only the first row (for column titles) not move. If I can learn the name of this feature, I'm sure I can figure out how to change the file.

Search For Words In Row In Other Row With Titles?

Jul 20, 2012

I need a functionality in Excel, but I can't get it done. I want to search multiple titles on multiple words.

1. I have a list with titles (tab A)
2. I have a list with words (tab B)

Now I want to scan all titles on words that appear on tab B and return the value of the word.

Example:

Title (tab A - column A)
Return (tab A - column B)
Words (tab B)
BrandX Shampoo Big
Shampoo
Eau de Toilette
BrandX Nailcutter
Nailcutter
Nailcutter
BrandX Eau de Toilette
Eau de Toilette
Shampoo

So for row 1 the word "shampoo" is reconised in the title and returns this value. Same for the other rows. I need the functionality like the formula below, but then with more words (from a list). I don't want to work with "OR" because the list with word is about 200+ and will be more in future.

=IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("shampoo",A1)),"x","shampoo")

Specified Dates As Column Titles In Bar Graph?

Jun 27, 2014

It appears that the bar graph automatically turns all dates into the first day of the year in question.

For example, what I have in the source chart is the following 3 dates: 6/11/14, 6/11/13, 6/11/12, however when I convert the table into a bar graph, it changes the dates to 1/1/14, 1/1/13, and 1/1/12.

Here's a snip of the table: Data source.JPG

And here's a snip of the chart: Chart.JPG

I've tried going into the advanced settings and making the intervals fixed (starting at 6/11/12 with 1 year intervals), however it does not seem to change the display.

Converting Reference Numbers To Titles?

Feb 3, 2014

I have exported a dataset with references numbers and I want to convert those reference numbers into the titles they refer to. I have a separate sheet that matches the reference number to the title and would normally use a LOOKUP function [=LOOKUP(A2,Key::Table 1::A,Title)] to do this but, in this instance, I have multiple reference numbers in a cell separated by commas. How can I get the function to lookup multiple numbers from the same cell?

Selecting Columns With Specific Titles?

For example, I have a very large worksheet with columns that specify the year and month (ie. "1900-8"). The years range from 1900 to 2011 and each year has "-1" to "-12" to represent the months of the year. Specifically, I am wanting to pick out all of the columns ending in "-8" (August).

Creating Full Titles Using Table?

May 13, 2014

I am trying to create a system to organize my company products. Up until now we had no part numbering system so I created one. The part numbering systems goes as such

Brand Code.Product Code.Bike Code.Color

These are examples

S7R.SF.101.Black
S7R.SF.101.Blue
S7R.SF.101.Gold

[Code]....

What I would like is to create a formula to expand the part number back to its full length name using tables on other sheets. I have tables for the brand code, product code and bike code. What I would like to have it do is Lookup the first part of the code "S7R" on a column from the following page and return the data from the cell next to it. Then continue on to do the same for the second part "cs" and the third"101" and so forth.

Basically the top example above would expand to be

Strada7 Short Folding Aprilia RSV4 Black
S7R = Strada7
SF = Short Folding Levers
101 = Aprilia RSV4
Black = Black

Copy Format And Bold Titles In String?

I'm working on a Excel template where 6 cells are filled with text. Now I want to put all the text in those cells into one 'result cell'. I already know how to put the cell values into strings and paste them beneath each other.

My problem is that I don't only want to copy the cell values but also the formatting, because all of the separate cells have a bold title. If I only copy the values the formatting isn't copied with it, so my question is:

How do I copy the cell formatting (bold titles) with it or how can I make a string bold?? Beneath is my code:
