Cleaning Up Phone Numbers With VBA
Aug 31, 2007I am using VBA to enter customer information into a Microsoft SQL database. I have an excel sheet with thousands of customers listed. I will be using a While loop to process each line of the sheet. Part of the While loop needs to make any format changes necessary before the data moves over to the DB. So here is the issue:
How do I turn the following phone numbers:
(410) 273-9200
910-944-1232
276 623 4254
410 612 1100 Rob
(413) 786-1636 Cindy
1-800-783-4661
304) 842-5491 Sherry
Into a uniform layout? I would prefer ###-###-####
Each of the numbers above is an example from the list I have. There may be more variations (I have over 20 seperate lists to process, with over 10000 customers per list)
I imagine I need some process that will remove all character except numbers and then break the numbers up to add the hyphens back in at the appropriate places.
Find And Replace Phone Numbers
Dec 8, 2009I have a bunch of phone numbers that I'm trying to reformat.
Say I wanted to replace any phone number like this: 1##########

Columns To Phone Numbers Format
Feb 1, 2010Just got an answer to my phone number problem of converting two columns of numbers
to a single columns with the form XXX-XXXXXXX. Used =A1 & "-" & B1.
Works perfectly one one spread sheet and not at all in another.
When I enter the formula and hit return, instead of the correct result, all I get is the formula.
The format of the columns is the same on both spread sheets.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFormula Or Macro To Fix Phone Numbers
Sep 17, 2009I came up with this formula trying to fix phone number but it’s not working properly
FORMULA:
=TEXT(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(a1, "-", "") & "00##", 10), "###-###-00##")
So basically I need a formula or macro that will fix the phone number for me.
Here is an example
78512312 it should be like this 785-123-0012
Or
785123123 it should be like this 785-123-0123. So if Len is 8 numbers long then insert two zeros counting from right to left. So if Len is 9 numbers long then insert one zeros counting from right to left.

Finding Country Based On Phone Numbers?
Dec 5, 2008I have a list of mobile phone numbers from various countries. However, I do not know which country each entry is from. Ideally I would like to have a macro that looks at each number, compares to a global list of PSTN structure to determine which part of the phone number is the country code (generally the first 1-3 digits), and then put the country in a separate column.
I am certain all numbers are formatted correctly, so it is only a matter of finding out which part is the country code and putting a value for the country.

Pivot Table Layout - Generate List Of Unique Names And Their Associated Phone Numbers
Mar 18, 2013I've read a lot of tutorials on how to use pivot tables, but found them either too basic, or too advanced, and never finding any example of what I am looking to do.
I have a database, column A holds names, and column B their phone numbers. I'd like to generate a list of unique names and their associated telephone numbers. I figure I can use a pivot table to do this.
But I do not quite understand how to format the pivot table to put the name in one column and the phone number in the next. I will use this pivot table as a vlookup range. I assume I can do this.
Importing Measurement Fractions As Numbers Not Dates
Nov 25, 2009I am creating a spreadsheet for use in a manufacturing environment to create a costing and cut list spreadsheet for production set up. The intent is that anyone can use this by copying and pasting an Excel Bill Of Material (BOM) that is generated out of a CAD program onto sheet 1. On sheet 2 (which they don’t touch) is the costing and cut list spreadsheet that references sheet 1 and automatically generated the numbers to create cut sizes and costs.
The first challenge I had was that the measurements include the inch symbol. For example if the imported text 15 5/8" is in cell A1 I am able to remove the inch symbol by using the following formula on sheet 2: =--LEFT(Sheet1!A1,LEN(Sheet1!A1)-1). The result is: 15.6250 which is exactly what I want.
Here is the problem I am having. When the listed dimension is less than 1” and is 5/8” for example I get ###### because I have the cell formatted as a 4 decimal place number. If I change the formatting to number with zero decimal places it becomes 39941 which is how many days it has been from January 1, 1900 to May 8, 2009.
The question is what formula should I use to change the 5/8” imported text so it says 0.6250 and can be used in math formulas? Please keep in mind that the imported text could be a measurement with a small number like 1/16” to a large one such as 284 3/4" and that the imported text “is what it is” and cannot be manually changed or adjusted (because that presents the risk of people creating errors and costing the company money by ordering the wrong material sizes).
Extracting Phone Numbers From Text String Variation In Preceding Text
Mar 29, 2013I'm pulling phone numbers out of text strings. There is text string ("Office:") indicating that the number following is an office number (the number that I need). MID and FIND take care of this. There are sometimes two instances of office numbers in single text string, so adding a second column using the third argument of FIND lets me start another search past the first instance of an office number. We have a bunch of office numbers with the qualifier "(Text)" after the original "Office" but before the phone number. How do I catch these ones?

Merging Two Sets Of Contacts?
Oct 17, 2013I am trying to merge my boss's contacts. He has one enormous set of contacts in GMail (5000+) and one enormous set of contacts in Excel (5000+) I've exported both sets into excel but how to I merge them?
The headers for each set are in a slightly different order (Home Address, Office Address, Email ...vs.....Office Address, Home Address, Email) Do I need to make sure the order of the headers match in both the GMail Sheet and the Outlook Sheet and is there a faster way to do that than just rearranging them manually?
My second question is how do I merge them? There are a lot of over-laps of people but some info might be different in Outlook than in GMail. For example I might have John Smith as a contact in both Gmail and Outlook but two different email addresses for him under the header "Email 1" how do I make sure one email doesn't eliminate the other? I just want to merge both sets of contact info for each person into one super contact.

Number Of Unique Contacts

I am trying to calculate the number of unique contacts that each client has made. So in the example above Client No. 111123 has made 3 unique contacts - numbers 12,34 and 5.
However I'm not having any luck - as I suspect it will be a fiendish array formulae. Alternatively I'd settle for some VBA.
Contacts From Worksheet To Outlook
Jun 5, 2007I have been trying to use VB to send contacts from contacts.xls to outlook. I have some code from MSDN that shows me how to put in ONE contact (which is already declared in the code). Well I was thinking of writing something to take a worksheet that has x number of contacts and automating x number of contacts. The problem is, I am familiar with using SQL to pull records, but I was thinking there was something easier like importing the excel namespace. So I decided to try it out this way and found this little tidbit of code which is:
Dim xlApp As New Excel.Application
Dim xlBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet
xlApp = New Excel.Application
xlApp.Visible = False
xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("contacts.xls")
xlSheet = xlBook.Worksheets(1)
'READ FILE HERE
Dim pXLRange As Object
pXLRange = xlSheet.UsedRange
Dim i = 0
Dim j = 0
For i = 1 To UBound(pXLRange, 1)
For j = 1 To UBound(pXLRange, 2)
Debug.Print(pXLRange(i, j))
Next
Next
It gives me this error for the FOR i=1 to UBound line:
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to class type 'System. Array'. Instances of types that represent COM components cannot be cast to types that do not represent COM components; however they can be cast to interfaces as long as the underlying COM component supports QueryInterface calls for the IID of the interface.
here's the namespaces i have imported:
Imports Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook
Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
