View 8 RepliesI'm trying to set up a macro to be assigned to a button to copy the text in a cell into an application which uses similar text capabilities to Notepad.
The simple macro of:
Range("D5").Select
Selection.Copy
... results in the text of the cell being copied to the clipboard with quotation marks before and after the text. I can manually enter the cell, select the text, the copy it... but this process can not be recorded in a macro - I can edit the cell and copy the text but when leaving the cell it gives the error "unable to record".
Is there any way I can copy the text to the clipboard without getting these quotes?
I'm running the following to put quotes around data in a workbook:
Sub test()
For Each s In Range("A1:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row)
s.Value = """" & Format(s.Value, "00000000") & """"
Next
For Each s In Range("B1:B" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row)
s.Value = """" & Format(s.Value, "####") & """"
Next
End Sub
And exporting as a CSV file for loading into another program. The problem is everything looks OK in Excel, but when I open the file in Notepad to check the output, the quotes are all triple. How can I get only single quotes around the data?
Formulae Solution prefered if possible--
Is it possible to extract the two text strings between the quotes, placing them in Col. C & D respectively, e.g.
Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(c.Formula, " ANTI ", " ANTI-HERO ")
Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(c.Formula, "SEC9", "SECTOR 9")
Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(c.Formula, "LNGBRDC", "LONGBOARD COMPLETE")
--Col. C---------------Col.D
Anti------------------Anti-Hero
SEC9--------------- SECTOR 9
LNGBRDC---------- LONGBOARD COMPLETE
There are three types of scenarios-
1) Values enclosed in quotes that begin and end w/ spaces:
Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(c.Formula, " ANTI ", " ANTI-HERO ")
2) Values enclosed in quotes that does not contain a leading space or trailing space:
Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(c.Formula, "SEC9", "SECTOR 9")
3) Values enclosed in quotes that have a space between itself:
Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(c.Formula, "LNGBRDC", "LONGBOARD COMPLETE")
I have a csv file that needs to be formatted and then saved as a csv file, and i have written code to do this but i need all of the values in the csv file to have one set of double quotes but at present all of the values do not have any quotes, how can i go about this.
Here is an example of the formatted csv file ....
I need to write a line of code which puts the following into a cell:
=+C4 & " - " & 1
The cell reference at the beginning will always be C4, however the "1" at the end will be variable named "GroupNo"
So my code will be something like:
Range("B46").Value = "=+$C$4 & " & "" - "" & "GroupNo"
This isn't working. I've tried every variation of what it should be but I keep getting errors like "type mismatch" or just the wrong thing being put in the cell.
I have pulled a report from a website. The website only allows a certain number of characters. For instance it might go to john.smith@, dave.bird@, tom.jones@... this has been pulled into an excel sheet. I want to add the domain at the end of the email address so it would become
john.smith@whatever.com
dave.bird@whatever.com
tom.jones@whatever.com
But I have a list of 2000 usernames and I don't want to go line by line inserting whatever.com. Is there a way to automatically do this?
I have data (from a very large spreadsheet) that has data as shown below in various columns. The data should be as in col A but there is a lot of it in different formats as in B. Is there any way to change the data from B into a new column say E where I can get the data into a leading number of 3 digits, the text with 1 or 2 letters and the remainder into 4 digits with the final text subscript if it is there?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have text from subjects in rows, and I need to fill out the empty spaces with the specific text. For example my data looks like this:
Name1
Name2
Name3
Name4
Name5
Name6
I need it to fill out the empty cells below each name, with the top name so it looks like this:
Name1
Name1
Name1
Name2
Name2
Name3
[Code] ......
For example, one can see that Name3 has no empty cells below, hence it should just move on to the next (name4) etc.
If I have a cell value (formatted general) of say ... OneOne .... somewhere in row 2, can i insert a formula between the two One's that inserts the row number. The intention is to have the cell display .... One2One. Conceptually the cell would read One=row()One. If you know what I mean.

What I need it for is an automated report that should be used for several different projects. Each projekt have events on different dates, and I only want the report to show a specific date if there is some text (i.e. event) on that date. As it is now, it's a looong report with several blanks with only a date showing. So it should insert a row (the tricky part) + the date + the text if condition is met, and do nothing if they are not. The script should add and remove rows and text depending on what project the information is taken from.
The data it should grab is in this form (many more data inputs though..):
Date Date Date
TEXT
And the report:
Date:
Date: TEXT
Date:
and should be like:
Date: TEXT
Is it possible to take text from 2 different cell and inserting into one cell?
For example:

Is there a formula or excel trick I can perform to save me the time of manually adding the spaces?

I am trying to write a VBA application within Excel to go through all Lotus Notes e-mails in a specific directory and save the attachment to a specific directory, remove the attachment and insert text into the e-mail in the spot the attachment was located that states "The attachment has been removed".
I'd also like to insert a 1KB text file into the e-mail that would be called "File Removed.txt" that would still allow you to quickly find the e-mails that had attachments because the little paperclip would show up.
