How To Bypass Source Length Limit
Dec 8, 2009
I was getting so close to the end of what I was trying to finish until I got stuck by an error.
I think the data source in Data Validation has a limit of character. Please see Below
=CHOOSE(MATCH($D1,AccountList,0),ZA,ZB,ZC,ZD,ZE,...ZAA,ZAB,ZAC)
I need to extend the list until ZAO. However, I think the Excel limit is only until ZAC.
I tried to create a new "list" that would contain those ZA,ZB,ZC.
(the list would be named ListofZ) and replace the lengthy formula above by the following:
=CHOOSE(MATCH($D1,AccountList,0),ListofZ)
However this technique doesn't work.

In Userform1 I have several textbox and one commandbutton1. If I mouseclick on a textbox and click commandbutton1 the letters YES is entered in the texbox. To prevent double click entry into the same textbox I set the maximum length property at 3. However, setting the maximum length to 3 does not work. Subsequent commandbutton1 clicks will result in an infinite YES entries.
Is the maximum length property disabled when commandbutton entries are applied?

I have a spreadsheet with 2 sheets. The first just links to another file and pulls in the contents of a particular sheet, cell for cell. The second sheet is a formatted report that I'm creating to put that data into a different format for presenting to others. I'm using the Index and Match function along with range names. All is fine except where the string that should be returned is very long. When that happens, I get "######" all the way across the cell. It doesn't matter how wide I make the column or how tall I make the row, the "#s" do not go away. Is there a limit on the number of characters the Index function can return?

I think it's an easy one but for the life of me I can't get around it. ccasionally while re-typing data in fields with the intention of saving-as a new file, an error message appears saying "no more than 20 characters" This happens even when the number of characters is LESS than 20! I have tried clearing cell contents, copying & pasting, re-setting conditions/parameters for columns/rows etc., and nothing seems to work with any consistency. Instead of looking for a work-around solution I'd like to find the actual corrective action.

Can I limit the text length in a cell that contains a formula? You may say "Limit the text length in the input cell". That can't be done because the formula in the resultant cell takes text from two other cells in addition to the input cell. I need to limit the overall text length to, let say, 50 characters.

I've set up a filing system which saves sheets/ workbooks based on the value of a cell - Range("B1") Everything works great apart from when ThisFile String length exceeds 31 characters which you may know is the max useable character length for a sheet name - I had no idea! 8-0
Is there a way i can check if string length exceeds 31 characters then, if it does, shorten it to 31 characters?

my main file goes out and opens another worksheet, modifies it in its existing environment, copies it to a tab on my main file then closes the other file but not save it. Even though I did those things when I was recording the macro, those steps are not coming through.

I am working on a script that allows a user to enter a number (days), and an automatic process performs based on that number. The inputbox has a default value. I have everything except for one issue--we would like the default value to be accepted and the inputbox close if the user does not click OK in say 20 seconds (in order to keep the process from tying up the rest of the process). Is there a way in VBA to click "OK" in the inputbox in 20 seconds so the process can run if the user doesn't click it himself?

My worksheet contains data with the reaction times on a psychological test. Each respondent in the test has 280 rows in my excel sheet.
The 'perfect' length of the row, is from A to M. When an error is made in the test, the length of the row will increase. So the error length can be A to AA.
For me it is important to analyse the error. So I would like to give a perfect row length, the value 1, and an error row length a value 2.
So, in conclusion:
If:
Cell length = A1 - M1? --> Copy A1 B1 C1 (A B Cof that row) to Sheet3, and give D1 in sheet 3 the value 1
Cell length >= A1 - M1? --> Copy A1 B1 C1 (A B C of that row) to Sheet3, and give D1 in sheet 3 the value 2

Is there a way to use the =SUM(--:--) feature, but to bypass any cells that contain text instead of numbers that are in the range?
I'm currently using this formula:
=SUM(N(I31)+N(L31)+N(O31)+N(R31)+N(U31)+N(X31)+N(AA31)+N(AD31))
...to only add up the number cells, as next to each cell, there is a column that has text (the reason for the "N(--:--)" is because depending on criteria, some of these cells print blank).
I just added 50 more columns that need to be added to the formula listed above and I will need to repeat this a dozen times. It will be much easier (and tidier) to be able to do something like this:
=SUM(N(I31:CL31)EXCLUDING CELLS THAT CONTAIN TEXT.

I have an ongoing project under constant upgrade. Essentially its a timesheet (used by about 40 secretaries) that gets sent to two administrators who import it into a report.
I have written a script to import these timesheets into a report which works fine and currently resides in a module which the administrators access via a command button on there report.
To make there life even easier I have constructed a script that triggers in event Sub Workbook_open (), embedded in the timesheets themselves, based on
If Application.UserName = "Admin1" Or Application.UserName = "Admin2" Then .....

when sending an email in code from Excel through Outlook, the following Microsoft Office Outlook dialog appears during code execution in Office releases since 2002:
A Program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf.
Do you want to allow this?
If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No".
Two buttons: [Yes] [No]
Question
Has anyone used or developed code that bypasses this prompt, and if so, would you please post an example of your code here. What I would like is a macro in VBA and / or API that you know from your own first-hand experience has worked for you, that emails an Excel attachment from Excel, using Outlook (not Outlook Express) as the email client, which bypasses the above prompt.....................

I have a report that was created for 2005 that contains two worksheets: a "source data" worksheet and a " pivot table" worksheet. I cleared out the 2005 data in the "source data" worksheet and replaced it with 2006 data...after this I refreshed the Pivot Table and everything seemed fine. When looking at the file size I noticed that it was almost twice its original size....upon further investigation I found that the Pivot Table was internally holding onto the old source data (the "Show" functionality of the rows/columns in the table lists the 2005 row/column headers as well as the 2006 headers....even though no data from 2005 is shown in the Pivot Table).
Does anyone know how to purge the old data from the internal Pivot Table memory?
I hope this is enough information....let me know if you need more.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Jon

I am rebuiliding my deck on my house and I am laying the boards on a 45 degree angle. Boards come in 12', 16', 20' lengths and are 5.5" wide.
The overall measurement of the deck is 12'x17'6".
What I need to know is how many boards I will need of each length. I would be grateful to see how this is solved w/ formulas, etc...

I have a worksheet in Excel 2007. I have "wrap text" turned on in column G and so long as the character count doesn't exceed 255 the text will wrap and display properly. However, when the number of characters in a cell of column G exceed 255 the display in the cell turns to all pound signs (#). The content of the cell is displayed in the URL line but it is all # in the cell. How can I fix this?

I am trying to create a string of text that grabs info from other cells, which is easy so for example
=A1&A2&A3
would grab all the info from the 3 cells and merge them to create a string, but what I want to do is create a prefixed length.
Lets say A1, A2 and A3 would equal 10 characters in total but B1, B2 and B3 would equal 7 characters, these would be different lengths. so for a visual description I would like them to appear like this
At the moment
01MAIN-HELLO
01DESSERT-HELLO WORLD
Would like
01MAINXXX-HELLO
01DESSERT-HELLO WORLD
This would make both strings the same length and would make it easier for me to export to a custom file that needs a certain length prefix.

So I have got an identifier and a corresponding column of values. I need to calculate sum of those corresponding values for each identifier, so if identifier is 1993, I need to have a sum of all the corresponding values. These identifiers repeat, and I do not want to calculate sum for all of them, just the immediate identifiers (i.e. you have 1993, after that you may have 1994 etc etc and then at one point you will have 1993 again, but that "new" 1993 will have a different sum of course). Also, identifiers do not go in sequence sometimes (however, most of the case they do), for example 1993 may jump suddenly to 2004. The trick with all of this is variable "row width" of these identifiers...
