I am looking for a code that will search the contents for every row in Column B and count the first four letters, any other letters, which come after the first four letters; I would like the code to delete them. For example. If “Sell now” were in cell B1 it would become "Sell" or if “Vend later” were in cell B2 it would become “Vend”, and so on.
I have an excel sheet with about 20,000 rows. I want to delete rows that in column AC or AD do not have the letters E, A, or Y. Therefore, all remaining rows should have the letter E, A, or Y in column AC or AD.
I'm trying to clean up several long worksheets by removing rows that don't contain a visable number or letter.
I want to remove all rows that only contain either empty cells, formulas that evaluate to a empty text string (""), cells that contain error values, or cells that contain zeros, or any combination of the previous.
I've stumbled onto the following, but it does not work.
I've seen a few examples of macros to delete the row if the first letter is something, but not if the first 2 is equal to something.
I'm looking to go thru every row that contains data and look in Column B to see if it starts with P4 or P5. If that's true, then delete the entire row.
Recently I have been practising writing my own macros in VBA. I am using Excel 2010.
I have been trying to write a macro to look at two columns in a worksheet (say, columns D and E) and to delete the contents (not the formatting, and I don't want to delete the cell itself) of that cell only if it contains a numerical value (e.g. 1, 2, 256 or any other number). If it finds a cell with letters, then it wouldn't delete the contents of the cell. The cells are currently formatted as "currency" cells.
I have been trying all sorts of things and I just can't get it to work. I can write a macro to clear a range easy enough, but I am stuck on getting it to delete the right stuff. I won't embarrass myself by uploading the code that I have been using..
I have a column of cells, some blank, some containing just numbers, some containing just letters, some containing numbers preceded by the the letter 'p'
E.g.
frt 34.2 36
p34.5
In the cells containing the number preceded by the 'p' - i would like to remove the 'p' leaving just the number, with all other cells remaining unchanged.
I have excel 2010. I have a worksheet with formulas that refer to a labelled cell, and I want to change the location that they refer to. When I select the name in the Name Box and delete it or type another name it has no effect on the name of the cell.
I searched the forum the last couple of days and got the following formula: =RIGHT(TRIM(E3),FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE(E3," ","~",LEN(TRIM(E3))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(E3)," ",""))))-1)
However that is leaving: "228 PENICILLIN VK 250mg 28". Unfortunately I need to get rid of all of the first word.
I came across this excellent code here on this site but it does the opposite of what I need. This code deletes empty or blank rows if the cell in column I is blank. I actually need to delete the row if the cell in column I has a date or any data. Using Excel 2010.
Sub deleteBlankRows() On Error Resume Next Columns("I").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.Delete End Sub
I'm using Excel 2010). I have column I, which is the sum of columns A and B (first and last names of patrons), and I have used conditional formatting to identify all duplicates in column I with red text. I would now like a macro to find red text in column I and then delete the corresponding rows.
I've been looking around on the web for a while and have cobbled together this code stolen from other people's macros:
[Code] ....
When I run it, I get the following error:
Run-time error '1004':Application-defined or object-defined error
Excel doc is called "stupid mailing list.xlsm", sheet I want to run the macro on is called "voters".
I have a massive spreadsheet (ca.110 000 rows [excel 2010). I need to cut this monster by deleting all the cells that do not have a certain cell value within them.
Say that in my column A there are different entries (text type). I would like to delete the ones that do not match the following criteria:
"mytextascriteria*", where * somehow stands for the rest of the string.
Strictly speaking I can only determine beggining of the string I want to perserve but the values at the end of that string are changing.
I found the thread about deleting entire row based on a cell value here: Delete entire row based on one cell?
but I couldn't quite work out how to apply it in my scenario....
Otherwise is completely pointless to do it manualy with these amout of records.
HTML Code: Sub DeleteEmptyColumns2() Dim Cell As Range For Each Cell In Range("4:4") If Cell = "0" Then Cell.EntireColumn.Delete End If Next Cell End Sub
I am attempting to remove columns in my table of data, using the above code seems to remove some them but not all, is this the best way to loop through a range?
Is there a VBA command to get the letters, instead of the numbers, of the column of a selected cell?
I have to letter a list whihc means setting up a loop using character codes.
I may have to go into double letters so I am working on how I would set up the loop for if and when it gets past 90 and starts on double letters. so far the highest is the letter "U"
of course the easiest would be to pick up a column value as a letter
How do I do data validation/cell formatting so that only alphabetic characters can be entered and no numbers?
(We use the cell for First Name, Last Name, etc. and I don't want potential entries like Mr. 56565 55454 because the cells are formatted as text and allow alphabet and numbers.)
I tried =NOT(ISNUMBER(H6)) for Data Validation, but that didn't work.
I have some code that loops through a sheet exporting each row to it's own file. The code below is the part that writes the file. The variable "i" is used to count which row the loop is on. I had planned to use the text in the first cell to identify the files, but the problem is that it contains some characters that cannot be used in Windows file names. So what I had hoped to accomplish was to just use the first 7 letters from each cell in column "a" in the filename. how to modify this to only take the first 7 letters from the cell instead of the entire cell contents? Set a = fs.CreateTextFile(DestFile & Cells(i, 1).Text, True)
I am trying to use SUMPRODUCT on one of my excel files. the condition is that it will try to count all those cells that contain certain letters. i tried using this formula, =SUMPRODUCT(--('All Computers'!$A$2:$A$100000="USA*"),--('All Computers'!$E$2:$E$100000="June")), but I am getting a 0 value.
I am trying to come up with an excel shee which can track the progress of a student on practice exams. This exam only has multiple choice questions, with answer choices A,B,C,D or E.
What I am looking for
1) I want to restrict the cell data to A,B,C,D or E (both cases). Note that I am not looking for a drop down/combo box. It would take the user to use one or two mouse clicks to drop down the list, and I am not in favor of that.
2) I would like this validation/formula to be applied to all the cells in a particular column.
3) Nice-to-have.
If the user enters a lower case letter, then I would like to convert to upper case.
I have the following column: A1 B1 B3 Ab123 1278 what i would like is if cell A2 start with AB then B1 and if not then nothing AC125 1587 AF123 1365 AR125 1259
I would like another cell to check the cell where i have the two letters and the numbers. if the cell start with the number that i am intrested then to confirm it to me, or to give me a value from another cell.
I have a column where the data is listing the day of the week and time worked. What I need is to sort the column by the first four letters in cell I used the left(e5,4) to return the letters in a helper column but when I sort it still not in the Monday -Friday order. example:
I have what seems to be a pretty complicated situation involving random numbers and letters. I need to generate random sets of this combination of 2 letters follows by 6 numbers (ex. AB123456). I need the final product to be randomly generated and non-repeated.
I have played with various methods of producing random numbers and random letters both repeated and non-repeated. The closest I can get would be a cell of randomly generated letters adjacent to a cell of randomly generated numbers which so far has been useless.
I am trying to count the number of certain letters in a given cell. I figured out the formula when there is not a repeat of a targeted letter. For example, if multiple C's appear in cell A1 I will only get a value of 1 and not the exact number.
