Mar 14, 2009I have tried experimenting with LEFT, RIGHT functions. I want to edit a text string using a delimiter. For example: "NOS|NOS". I have a column of 256 rows of such entries, a name; the pipe; a name. I need to be able to strip out one side or the other using that pipe as the delimiter, leaving only "NOS". With 256 rows of items with this format - the length of the text string will vary.

Dec 7, 2007I was wondering if it was possible for a macro to edit a file by opening each .txt file, searching for the word "Reference", and then replace it with the word "Ref". Then save and close the text file.
There are no delimiters in the text files.
Macro To Edit Multiple Rows Of Text
Oct 22, 2007I used the macro editor to create a "simple" macro to edit 7 rows of text. The steps were basic and simple - F2 key, backspace about 25 times, and down arrow then repeat these 3 steps 6 more times. The macro I got gave me the result of the very first cell as I was recording the macro. I think I remember the old Lotus 1-2-3 macro text - {edit}{backspace}{down}. Wish it were still that simple.

Feb 7, 2009I use excel to read in an ASCII data file in which every line beginning with H is a header line and lines beginning with S are data line.
I want excel to filter out the header lines and output the file with the data lines only then outputs these in a new file.
I also want it to read the values from column 72 to 75 and subtract 6 from them then output them again to the same new file.

Open "d:/intouch/0502SPSS.LOG" For Input As #1
Dim i As Integer
Dim lines(9999) As String
i = 0
Do While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, z
i = i + 1
If Mid(z, 1, 1) = "H" Then
i = i - 1
ElseIf Mid(z, 1, 1) = "S" Then.................................
the problem is that the new file is generated but it is always empty

Macro To Edit A Cell & Convert Formula To Text
Oct 13, 2006Have a macro that copies a formula from each of 100 workbooks to a new workbook. I want to display these formulas as text and want a macro or someway to display these cells as text. I have tried to record a macro that presses the F2 key, the home key and the apostrophe. This works for the one cell but provides the following macro that does not work for anyother cell.
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"'=VLOOKUP($A$30,'G:Variance Reports FY07[Salary Dist Var Repts_Cur Mth.xls]end of July'!$E$76:$G$200,3)"

Edit Part Text In DDE Arrays Linked To External Program
Sep 27, 2006I have a datafeed program that offers multiple DDE link types to retrieve different types of data. After pasting the DDE links into Excel, all works well. However... To modify the links means manually editing upto 12 different array formulas located on different pages then pressing Ctrl + Shift + Enter after each to change the data source being analysed.
I found that I can manually copy and paste a few characters into each linked array formula, Ctrl+Shift+Enter but it needs to be by Macro referring to a couple cells (Say A1, A2) containing the variables that alter the data source being linked to.
I need to make a VBA Macro that refers to these two cells containing text, and modify the 12-odd linked array formulas.
eg. {=SUB33|getlocation!'N,pg,9,vp,A,30'}
In this example Linked Array formula, the bolded PG and 9 would be variables pulled from cell A1 and A2.
All other components of the array formulas stay unmodified, it is only the "pg,9" text that needs to change in each linked array.

Add, But Not Remove Or Edit
May 27, 2008Is there a way to setup a spreadsheet so data that has been entered cannot ne deleted or edited, and only the last field in the column can be accessible? So if I have info entered in a1, a2, a3, b1, b2, b3, no one can edit or delete them, and can only add to a4 and b4? Will I need to write a macro for this or is it something I can do with certain settings?

VB To Edit Another Workbook
Jun 6, 2006My purpose is to give my endusers a workbook with a macro in it which applies changes to existing workbooks on their computers. I want the enduser to select each workbook to apply the changes and have the macro capture the names of the workbooks so they can verify that all of the appropriate workbooks have been changed.
I’m trying to change two types of data: (1) text, (2) formulas.
Here's what little I have, but not much is working.
Sub ChangeBACKLOG()
MsgBox "Open the FILE to which the Backlog fix is to be applied."
Dim targetWorkbook
dlgSource = Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show
Set sourceWorkbook = ThisWorkbook
Set targetWorkbook = Workbooks.Item(Workbooks.Count)

May 1, 2013I've been trying to resolve an issue with the userform that i created. It adds new records to the sheet "Data" but i can't seem to add a search/edit function to it.

Jan 8, 2014I have a macro enabled spreadsheet in which I am able to paste in the customer number as text, but I need to touch the cell in order to make the customer name populate in the next column.
Double click - enter and F2 -enter both will do this, but I'd rather not be doing this for 200 rows every time I have to use it. Is there a way to touch all of these rows without VBA? The spreadsheet was built by our IT department years ago and is rather fickle. I can't risk interrupting the code or I end up having to close it and start over. It's password protected.

Edit Web Query - Get Data From Web
May 10, 2014i have a worksheet that gets data from web - its automated, but the website goes through a tunnel - with security - requires username and password
the Query Runs ok and smooth but i have to login manually by right clicking on a table where the query is and selecting "Edit Query" so i can login, excel vba doesnt save passwords for that part...
one way i find it possible to automate that part too would be to use maybe like the sendkeys statement to pop up the context menu from right clicking the mouse button, or like the options button on the keyboard.
I found this one:
[Code] .....
It works but the context menu comes exactly from where the current mouse position is..
I needed it to do the right click on a specific range in the worksheet (where the web query is)..
