I get my website's log files in a raw text format, delimited with hyphens.
That much I can deal with.
What I am having problems with is the fact that there are over 65,536 lines of data per log file (where each line represents one " event" in the history of the site), and therefore Exel is unable to import the entire log.
So I have a few thousand .html-files that i need two lines from. It is line 43 and line 46. I want those lines in each cell and the dokument name in the last cell. After that it goes 1 row down and takes the next html-file.
So it would be something like:
Row 1 | line43 | line46 | Dok1
Row 2 | line43 | line46 | Dok2
I'm trying to use the import data to pull from a closed csv file. I see the column select but no place to select which rows. Is this even possible, I only need the first 500 rows of all columns to be placed in a new worksheet.

I tried running some macros that I found through searching the forums, but I couldn't get any to work.
where I am needing to import a file sent daily by a third party, that has now grown to be greater than 65536 lines. It contains cumulative data from the past year or two, but although we only need the LAST few thousand lines, the third party are unable to provide us with a smaller file.
The file is currently imported from file into Excel using VBA, and then various manupilations are done using VBA to extract the data we need. However because of the size the file now has grown to, the user has to open the text file in wordpad(or notepad) first and delete the first 'few' thousand lines before saving to file.
Is there a way of importing only a certain number of lines from this text file, for example the last 30,000, using VBA. If so, all our problems will be solved (this time)
I have around 50 text files with similar design per attached file. I need to import the text files with criteria below:-
1. include file name
2. let user choose the folder
3. exclude data from "work in process summary" to "work in process cost totals"
4. only have one title in the excel files which all text files is combined "Item, Line ....."
5. If the text files do not have title like "Item, Line, ..." do not import
Is it possible to have all criteria listed above by running a macro?
A.txt
After doing some searching I found a macro here which imports multiple text files into one workbook, keeping each text file as a seperate worksheet, each worksheet named the same as the original file name (minus the .txt extension).
However, it adds a blank line between each line of text. So I get this:

This doesn't happen when I use the import wizard, or when I just open the file from the File -> Open menu.
My text files are always the same format (number of lines, etc.), so it's easy to delimit and insert forumlae as needed, but those extra lines are breaking a macro I've previously written to parse the data.
My problem: get a cell to produce a pop up message when it exceeds a
certain value and do not restrict the entry value?
I tried Data - Validation but have had no luck.
The details (much simplified) are these:
I want to multiply B2 x A2 and if the answer exceeds $2499 have a pop up
message appear. Is it possible to have the pop up ocurr while inputting data
into B2 or only after "entering" or when B2 has been reselected.
A B
1 qty unit cost
2 1 $1250
WHAT IS THE METHOD OR FORMULA?
There is probably a simple solution to my problem that I am just not seeing because I cannot believe I'm the only one trying to pull out the number of hours after summing a column of times when the total exceeds 24 hrs. I have attached a sample spreadsheet which has columns for start time, end time and time used (ie end - start time) Originally when I totalled the column of time used, I got 20:27 hrs instead of the correct 44:27 hrs. After doing some research I found out that I had to create a custom format of [h]:mm to get it show beyond 24 hrs. However, now that I can see the 44 hrs and 27 min as 44:27, I cannot seem to pull out the 44 hrs to use it in a calculation of multiplying total time against a charging rate ($/hr) to get a total cost in $. The sum using [h]:mm is in cell F68 and I was hoping to convert this [h]:mm into a number of hrs as a decimal (ie 44:27 to 44.45 hr) by =((HOUR(F68)+MINUTE(F68)/60)) but I get back to the 20 hrs of a h:mm format.
I was originally surprised that I couldn't sum a column of times and get the total time without creating a special format. But I am really surprised that it isn't intuitive to pull out the correct number of hours when it exceeds 24 hrs. I am sure that it's simple because it seems something that a lot of people would have going on in accounting type of spreadsheets. I am going to be doing a lot of summing times coming up and would appreciate suggestions. This forum helped me once before and I hope for the same results!
I have an excel, in which the user can input values and the sum will be computed for each column (i.e. =Sum (L2:L29)) . I want to alert the user when the computed sum exceeds a particular value, else it shud proceed.
It can also be done at while the save & close of the workbook.
If I already have lets say 90% on B9 and I try to enter 15% on D9 it wont allow me because of the total being over 100%, but how can I have an alert to say Please enter 10% or less.
Or
If I already have lets say 50% on B9 and I try to enter 20% on D9 and I try to enter 50% F9 it wont allow me because of the total being over 100%, but how can I have an alert to say Please enter 70% or less (the sum of B9+D9).
Can this be done using VBA?
I've attached the file that has the data validation.
Say I want to create a proxy hyperlink like this:
=HYPERLINK("http://www.google.com/search?q="&B3&...ctive","Search Google")
but the URL address I'm going to use is way too big for the cell (I think max is 255 characters).
column A4-A9 equals the sum on A10. What I am trying to do is put a formula in H10 that will start out at 35 from no addition, but if cells A10-G10 go over 22 I want it to subtract from H10.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy worksheet ends at cell AG650, and Control-End takes me there. I have deleted all columns and rows beyond that, saved, closed and re-opened.
But the scroll bar takes me to cell AG924500 -- more than 900,000 rows too far...
I tried setting the Scrollarea in VBA and got some unexpected results.
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
ScrollArea = "A1:AG700"
End Sub
The elevator bar did not shrink at all, and the visible portion of the worksheet reacted inconsistently, sometimes correctly, sometimes seeming frozen or stopping short of the 700 rows specified, which makes me think there's an Excel bug involved.
I've also tried Hiding the unused rows but get this message:
"Cannot shift objects off the sheet"
So I've gone into VBA and removed all objects using this code:
ActiveSheet.Shapes.SelectAll
Selection.Cut
But with no change at all...
I've also applied several commercial 'Excel tuning' programs, to no avail (FastExcel and CodeCleaner)
I have 4 columns wherein the details are somewhat given below. Is there any way, wherein the figures under the column "No. of times" can be circled if it goes above 3.

The user enters data into Column E on Sheet1 and i want my code to display a pop-up box when a cell's value exceeds 500. I've tried the two codes below which i thought would work as Excel didn't highlight any breaks when i wrote the code, but no pop-up box is being generated when values > 500.
ATTEMPT 1:
Private Sub Threshold_Check2(ByVal Target As range)
Dim cell As range
For Each cell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns(5).Cells
If cell.Value > 500 Then
MsgBox "Value within 15% of Threshold"
Next cell
End Sub
ATTEMPT 2:
Sub Threshold_Check(ByVal Target As range)
Set Target = range("E1:E150")
For Each cell In range("E1:E150")
If Target.Value > 500# Then

End If
End Sub
Apart from the obvious restriction imposed by the virtual size of a spreadsheet,are there any other factors that would induce a problem with size. I have a set of data with 3000 rows and 15 columns. I would like to organise this using 5 of the data columns as rows in the pivot, 1 as column and 1 as data.
I have a number of sets of data which work perfectly, but one set, the largest, fails when I attempt to add the data field.
I had more than 7 nested if statements so I attempted to formulate the named ranged formula. My 2 ranges are as follows: LDD1=IF(MONTH(P1)=MONTH(F2),C5-F5,IF(MONTH(P1)=MONTH(G2),C5-G5,IF(MONTH(P1)=MONTH(H2),C5-H5,IF(MONTH(P1)=MONTH(I2),C5-I5,IF(MONTH(P1)=MONTH(J2),C5-J5,IF(MONTH(P1)-MONTH(K2),C5-K5,IF(MONTH(P1)=MONTH(L2),C5-L5))))))) LDD2=IF(MONTH(P1)=MONTH(L2),C5-L5,IF(MONTH(P1)=MONTH(M2),C5-M5,IF(MONTH(P1)=MONTH(N2),C5-N5,IF(MONTH(P1)=MONTH(O2),C5-O5,IF(MONTH(P1)=MONTH(P2),C5-P5,IF(MONTH(P1)-MONTH(Q2),C5-Q5))))))
Basically what it's doing is comparing the current month with the month in the column heading and calculating appropriately. However, when i input the if statement (=if(LDD1,LDD1,LDD2), i get an error saying that it's an inconsistent formula and the result that it gives is wrong, too. Problem cell is e5
I wrote a Macro that was running up to now searching for information. Now the text file is bigger than the 65536 limit in Excel. How can you import the .txt file over two or more Sheets using a Macro?
View 2 Replies View RelatedExcel 2010 Higher than past average formula?
Im using Excel 2010 and want to make a formula that will High light the number when it exceeds the past 30 days average. My information is listed vertically in row F..
I'm attempting to import around 200 (and growing!) separate text files into Excel. I am using the formula below to import the text file and then using a separate macro to select the information I need, copy it into another spreadsheet, and then run the import macro again.
However, I have a problem in that my import macro gives me 'Run-time error '1004:
Application defined or user defined error''. At first this wasn't a problem as the information is pasted into the spreadsheet despite the error anyway. However, now that I am looping the macro it is obviously causing more problems as it prevents the loop. I would really appreciate it if anyone knows of a work-around or can spot an error in the coding to resolve this!
The code below shows is for the import macro only:
Sub ImportTextFile(FName As String, Sep As String)
Dim RowNdx As Long
Dim ColNdx As Integer
Dim TempVal As Variant
Dim WholeLine As String
Dim Pos As Integer
Dim NextPos As Integer
Dim SaveColNdx As Integer
I have a simple macro importing a .csv data file to a worksheet every 30 minutes.
When the macro runs an Import Text File dialog box displays.
What do I need to do to have the macro run to completion without the dialog box interruption?
Sub RefreshHourlyData()
htime = Now + TimeValue("00:30:00")
Application .OnTime htime, "RefreshHourlyData"
Sheets("H1Updates").Select
Sheets("H1Updates").UsedRange.Select
Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
Range("A1:A1").Select
End Sub
I'm sure this can be done but I don't think I have the formula correct. What I am trying to do is add each day's total while displaying a positive number if the total exceeds 6000.

[Code] .....
i have managed to pull together some code that will deny people adding data into cells if they have 5 of the same entry. the entries are entered in a range and are matched against a single cell outside of the range. heres the
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim greycell As Range, i As Long
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.[grey]) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each greycell In Target
If WorksheetFunction. CountIf(Me.[grey], greycell.Value) > 5 Then
i = greycell.Interior.ColorIndex
greycell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 'red
greycell.Select
MsgBox "no cell entry past 5", vbCritical, "ERROR"
greycell.ClearContents: greycell.Interior.ColorIndex = i
End If
Next
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
what i need with is adapting this code to match two ranges as i cant use the worksheet_change event twice. i need it to be as if they were seperate events but are merged together. eg:.............
I have a sheet which looks a bit like this
Day
A
B
Day
Cost A
Cost B
[Code]....
For each column with a header A, B (these are people), 1 in their column represents they works that day on a project. The day columns are days of the week, and people cost different amounts on different days. I need to work out the total cost for each person for the working period.
The cost for the first day for person A is =if(b2=1,vlookup(a2, f2:h8, 2),0)
How do I sum the costs for each day in a single formula without creating a cost per day column for each person i.e. sum each line of vlookups?
I have two rows of data, each row also have similar data. I need to find the number of matches that the two lines For example :
7,7,K,A,8,7
K,6,7,7,A,9
To reach the conclusion I need to build six such functions:
=1*(COUNTIF($A$65:$F$65,A66)>=COUNTIF($A66:A66,A66))
=1*(COUNTIF($A$65:$F$65,B66)>=COUNTIF($A66:B66,B66))
=1*(COUNTIF($A$65:$F$65,C66)>=COUNTIF($A66:C66,C66))
=1*(COUNTIF($A$65:$F$65,D66)>=COUNTIF($A66:D66,D66))
=1*(COUNTIF($A$65:$F$65,E66)>=COUNTIF($A66:E66,E66))
=1*(COUNTIF($A$65:$F$65,F66)>=COUNTIF($A66:F66,F66))
The result is 4
Is there a single formula that will give the result ?
Another question, is there a formula that I can compare to the principle of one line against the 20 lines ?
i have a list of about 2,000 rows of text going down vertically, but out of that 2,000 there's only about 1,500 actual items - the rest are duplicates.
how would i go about eliminating the duplicate strings of text quickly?
