How To Check For A Blank Space And Decide To Add Or Not
Feb 4, 2013
When a file is open, if cell A1 has a text "Hello there", then I want to make this cell add a blank space as "Hello there ". Let's save this file and close. So now if I re-open it, I want cell A1 to remove the added blank space and revert to be "Hello there". This take turns to change back and forward.
I want to write a macro that will check every selected cell. It should detect if there is a space after the fourth character. If there is a space, go to the next selected cell. If there is no space, add a space and go to the next selected cell.
I just created a macro in Personal.xls and Excel (for no apparent logical reason) created this macro not in Module 1 (which has no macro or anything else in it, it is blank) but in Module 11.
How does Excel decide what module to put a macro in? Why not choose Module 1?
What's the difference between Module 1 or if I cut the macro from Module 1 and pasted it into Sheet 1 of Personal.xls which is blank?
When using SUBTOTAL for counting values in a column, well this function is counting also the blanks cells having space inside
Well i can use an COUNTIF to avoid this problem, but when using autofilter , the count is gone, that's inconvenient.I can use autofilter to select blanks and then delete space inside but is quite long.
I chopped a macros inspired by jindon:
Sub SpacesBlanks()
Dim X As Integer Dim r As Range X = CLng(InputBox(Prompt:="Quelle colonne?")) If (X < 1) + (X > Columns.Count) Then Exit Sub lastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, X).End(xlUp).Row For Each r In Range(Cells(1, X), Cells(Rows.Count, X).End(xlUp)) If r.Value = "" Then r.Value = ClearContents End If Next
At the top of my spreadsheet I've got the date displayed using TODAY(). In 'G5' theres a proposed collection date. In 'F5' I entered, =IF(G5>$D$1+1,"PENDING","NOT COLLECTED"). Which is fine except, if 'G5' is blank I want 'F5' to be blank also. And if a date is removed from 'G5' I want 'F5' to be blank. I've tried various things with "" but I cant get it to do what I need. I'm sure this is very easily cured, but not by me clearly..!
in my workbook I have a list of names. Some of these names have a blank space at the end of them. How do I get rid of that blank space? Basically, it might say:
John Brown Fred Basset Fred Jones Ian Smith Ian O'Donnell Adam Simpson
And if you put your cursor at the end of each of those names, you'll see that some have a blank space at the end, and some don't. How do I trim this blank space away from the end?
I'm looking for a formula that pulls the text from a cell unti it hits a space. I'm using the formula below but keep getting #VALUE results. B1: =LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1,1)). I know it's not that hard but can't figure it out.
Add a blank space after a specific text? I have many cells in a column that all begin with the same two letters followed by more text. Something like this:
I have the following code which is save Sheet as a text file. I know there are some options in Excel for saving, but it is not saving as ".txt" file.
I would like to modify this code to replace blank space with comma between Cells.
PHP Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
' Save file name and path into a variable template_file = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
' Default directory would be c:temp. Users however will have the ability to change where to save the file if need be. ' Notice that i'm only allowing the save as option to be of .txt format. ' I'm also attaching the current date to the file name............
I have many sheets in my workbook with many filled or unfilled cells... I want that any cell in my whole workbook should be filled with " " ie a space if it is currently blank (ie don't touch the cells which have some data) and as there are many cells in a sheet .. I don't want to fill them with spaces as the file size will increase... I just want to do this for cells A-1 to AB-200.
What is the way of doing this with a formula or programming ie without macros... (or is macro the only way?) What if I just want to do this to a sheet and not to the whole workbook.
I would like to record/create a macros to open the file and paste 4 columns worth of data into another spreadsheet. Making sure the data is pasted in the correct column and doesn't overight data already in a tracker. Ie. paste it into the next available space.
I am facing problem to delete the blank Space before & after the sentence in excel Cell.I have thousand No. of Rows for which I want to delete the Empty Space before & after the Sentence.May I know how I will do this in quick way.
What's the formula that gives the True/False answers? I could go IF(AND(A1=0,B1=0,etc...),TRUE,FALSE) that gets the results, but can it be done in a smarter method or can it done via array method?
I have been working on different formulas to return the text string between the first and last space and have been unsuccessful. Is this possible?
I have tried several combos or Left and Right, I have been able to get the values after the first space, and the values before the last space, but not between the spaces.
String: Y60 ~C CULT NUCLEUS 3X2 SPRING WST BK XL
Desired results: D60 CULT NUCLEUS 3X2 SPRING WST BK
How can I write code to test if a cell is blank? My code is using "isempty" but I keep type mismatch error because my cells are filled with formulas that make the cells blank. It only works if the cells are truly empty with no formulas.
i attach my sample excel file here, book1.xls. sheet1, "input". it check the column "C" row by row and if it detect the different content data in next column, it will auto insert a new row. it will ignore the space. below is my coding:
See attached spreadsheet for example of the sheet I am using.
Problem 1.
Columns C and D show me figures when the number in col A is > 2500 or < 550 when these criteria are not met a 0 is displayed in the cell, is it possible to alter my formula so that nothing (a blank cell) is displayed rather than a 0 - I am wondering if there is something like null which I can use?
=IF(A4>2500,A4,) =IF(A4<550,A4,)
Problem 2.
In column E (normal days) I want to display the value of A if it is > 550 but < 2500 - is there a way of doing this in a single formula? Again I would just like a blank to be displayed if the value of A does not meet the above criteria.
I have X amount of cells (formulasheet) , these are used to input data, which is then summarized into a sheet on the same file. I'm trying to find a code that forces the user to fill out all the fields. If the user do not, the "submit button" will not proceed, at least not work. Almost like a forum registrating, where it is required to fill it all some mandatory fields in order to proceed.
The cells datatypes are mixed, some are Integer and some are String.
Is there anyway that are code can be written "if the cell(s) is FALSE (nothing in the cell) then display message.
I am building a table for staffing purposes, and I basically only need to controls to "validate"/approve the table.
1. The number of staff put in must equal the required amount of staff (E column) 2. The same staff cannot be put on twice for the same time period (which I have done by the OR(F7=G7,F7=H7,G7=H7) as part of the validation)
My problem is that sometimes I need 0 staff (when its closed), but when I leave it blank obviously it wont approve the table because of rule #2 above, since it thinks the blanks are the same staff member.
I have tried with some ISBLANK statements, but it wont work.
Got a table where I've placed Data validation - List on them.
Placed a macro on a button so that the data on the table where the validation list is placed is transfered to another sheet (same workbook).
What I need is a to modify the macro assigned to the button so that when the button is clicked to activate the macro:
a.) Can identify if there are any blanks on specified cells with validation list b.) Stops the macro from copying the fields to the other sheet c.) Alert the user of the blanks (an alert stating there is a blank would suffice) d.) Alert should preferably be similar to a Stop alert from Data Validation.
Can anyone help? Been reading through several threads but don't seem to find anything that could help me - tried reading a Visual basic thread and now i've got a headache....
