Keep Leading Zero For CSV File
Oct 17, 2011
I've been tasked at work with created a daily CSV upload file for a new system. Typically, the format the raw data comes in is .xls and very untidy (direct from SAP).
As such I have created a small macro which tidys up the spreadsheet, and saves it as a CSV. However, I have only just noticed that for the product codes we have which have a leading zero, the .xls file displays the leading zero without a problem, but in the resultant CSV file they are gone.
The macro I use, is as follows:
Code:
Sub SamplesUpload()
'
' SamplesUpload Macro
'
'
Range("A:A,G:G").Select
Range("G1").Activate
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
[Code] .....
As you can see, it's very crude (I'm a complete nubie when it comes to this) - the Application.Run "PERSONAL.xlsm!CSV" is a small macro which puts double quote marks around all content of any populated cells in column B and the Application.Run "PERSONAL.xlsm!SaveAsCSV" is a small macro which saves the current sheet as a CSV file - code for those as below:
Code:
Sub SaveAsCSV()
Dim DTAddress As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim FullyQualifiedFileName As String
'Get the path to the desired save location
[Code] ........
Code:
Sub CSV()
Dim arrB As Variant: arrB = Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, [B:B]).Value
Dim R As Long
For R = 1 To UBound(arrB, 1)
arrB(R, 1) = """" & arrB(R, 1) & """"
Next R
Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, [B:B]).Value = arrB
End Sub
So, why the leading zeros are not in my CSV file, and how to get them back?
The line which I use to get the leading zeros is:
Selection.NumberFormat = "[>9999]000000;General"
And this is because the only codes which have a leading zero are 6-digits long. Could I maybe add a single ' to the beginning of each cell in column A to make them text, and thus keep the leading zero?
To confirm, the column which contains the product codes is column A.

I notice that my csv list of addresses from the northeast area is trimming a lot of zip codes that atart with 0's. this is probably also happening on the address columns for some addresses or box numbers with leading 0s. is there any way to turn this function off?

I have a problem which may seem simple but is daunting for me.
I have a file in xls format that i need to import data from.
The problem is with column A, (e.g. 0233 45) if I get rid of the spaces I loose leading zero, if I keep the zero I cannot get rid of spaces. The thing is I need both conditions satisfied.
To summarize:
1)Import file and delete columns B and C
2)In column A get rid of spaces but keep leading zero (it's important to keep the zero where it exists, not add one). The length is different for each string in column A.
Here is a small sample of the file that is imported
import and convert.xls

i cant do this from importing the data, so instead i have to try and fix it with code. I get a sheet of data from an external source that removes the 0's in the front of the number. Its only a 4 digit number so 21 would be 0021. Now i have been able to trap the data i think i would need. i created a =len() statement to tell me how many numbers each cell has. here is the code i think how it would work.. i just need a little help with filling in the blanks. I would assume its something to the lines of " 00+string value if it was 2 numbers needed.
B2 has the Len values (4,3,2,1 etc) and A1 is the original string that has the values.
So i want the code to add 1 2 or 3 zeros to the front of the number based on the len value.
Range("B2").Select
While ActiveCell.Value <> ""
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Select
Select Case ActiveCell.Value
Case Is = "3"
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 1).Select
Case Is = "2"
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 1).Select......................

I have formatted the cells to be '0000' (showing the leading zero) however when my VBA code runs it copies the cell value into a string but when I stop the code running to check the value the leading zero(s) are gone. I can see they are the same on both worksheets in the correct format. I've tried a few others like integer and long but same same.

I have cells where the formual is this: =D17/SUM(D17:E17). The result is always going to be a three-digit decimal, less than 1. .546 .345 .678 etc. Excel, of course, places a zero in the front: 0.546 0.345 etc. Is there a way to remove this?

I need to be able to use formulas on the above numbers to perform look-ups and comparisons(=IF(A1>1000,"Yay","Boo")). My issue is the leading 0. To use formulas the above fields HAVE to be in a number format. Converting to typical number format removes the leading 0. All of the help files I can find show how to preserve the leading 0 either require a set number of 0s or require a set length. Unfortunately my data cannot match those rules. Is there any way I can convert these cells to a number format AND preserve any existing leading 0(s)?

Trying to manipulate basketball statistics copied from websites ... each cell has a leading space before the number(s) ... is there any way to globally eliminate the leading space from the cells
Tried find/replace, finding [space] replacing with 0 (which would then be disregarded ... didn't work
Tried converting all cells to number format, didn't work

I have two, technically unique text values, with leading zeros, countif is including them in the count for each.
D17 = 01234
D18 = 1234
formula in column "C"
=IF(D17<>"",COUNTIF('Part Numbers'!B:B,D17),"")
=IF(D18<>"",COUNTIF('Part Numbers'!B:B,D18),"")
both countif's are resulting in 2, whereas they should be 1 since they are textually unique. The cells themselves, on both the source and counting side are formatted as text.

I have received an attachment of a .csv file from a client and one of the fields is a tenant ID number that sometimes begins with 1 or more zeros. When I open the attachment it is opening in Excel and dropping the zeros. How can I open that up and keep the zeros. I need those leading zeros.

I have a perfectly fine formula but whenever I try and use VBA to enter it for me it adds a leading apostrophe and it ruins the INDEX/MATCH with an RTE 1004.

Can anyone tell me how to have a variable which can store leading zero's. I am using this variable and part of a string and want it to be able to store and calculate numbers such as 0005 at the moment if such a number is entered it sees it as 5. At the moment I have declared the variables as integers but clearly this is incorrect.

I'm trying to finish up a little program, but am stuck on getting date values from excel over to a another front end system correctly. The issue is pretty basic - I have a value I call "fulldate" which, for example is "1/5/2010"
I have to move each element of the date to this other system, but if I don't add the 0 before the month and day, it gets pushed over incorrectly (this other front end has three fields which accept: mm dd yyyy. BUT, if one character is entred into the mm field, you need to TAB to get to the dd field. If you enter TWO characters, you CANNOT tab to get there (you'd end up in the yyyy field).
So, all I really need to do is take the value "1/5/2010" and end up with three variables of consistent lengths.
Month = 2 characters
Day = 2 characters
Year = 2 characters
Here's what I'm trying tu use.. .but Day1 = 1, not 01. I've tried using format, but it's just not working how I'd expect.

I have a cell formatted as text and I'm throwing it to a variable. That variable is a string. Then I am streaming that data to a CSV using I/O. I am using the "print" command to send the value:
Code:
Print #1, value
=> If the value in the sheet is "0123", the value that appears in the CSV is "123".
=> If the value in the sheet is "'0123" (preceeded with an apostrophe, to indicate literal text), CSV value is "123".
=> If I add the apostrophe (') in VBA directly so that value in the variable is still "'0123", I actually then get "'0123" (apostrophe included!) in the CSV file! Problem is though, that the (') is not the preceeding character but is actually part of the value now!
I'm trying to retain the leading zeros through the file streaming process.

How do I format a cell so there is a leading 0 displayed and no little green arrow error message? I'm sure it's something silly and stupid, but I can't get it formatted so.

I have pasted over 1300 numbers in a list, all of which need to have 5 digits. However, when I pasted the 5 digit number (ie 00003) into the cell, it omits the leading 0's.
Is there any way to get these numbers back to having 5 digits....and if it omitted the 0's, can I put them back all in one fell swoop?

I m trying to count strings that have a leading zero with COUNTIF?
Basically, if trying to count "01111", but "01111" does not exist in the data set, and "1111" DOES exist in the data set then COUNTIF returns 1.

I'm having trouble with the leading zeros of my ISBN#s; excel keeps chopping them off. I found a topic that discussed this issue, but it won't work for me.
http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewtopic.php?t=75303
I can't format them as text because I'm getting them as an isbn with dashes (ie:978-05689-256-7) and when I remove the dashes (even if its formatted as text) excel changes the number to 9780568.9E+12 (or something like that)
I think the solution would be to create a custom format (ie. 0000000000) to preserve the zeros, but I'm having 2 problems:
1. Since the ISBN#'s have 2 different formats (ISBN-10 & ISBN-13) I need to somehow check if the first 3 numbers are 978 then based on that it should be formatted either as ISBN-10 (0000000000) or ISBN-13 (0000000000000)
2. In the post that I linked to above it said that I won't be able to do a vlookup if its custom formatted. Is there any way around this?

I need a formula that will make a 4 digit number by adding leading zeros. If the number is already 4 digits then don't add leading zeros, do nothing. all numbers will be 1,2,3,4 digits long.
For Example,
if number is 1 then make it 0001
if number is 11 then make it 0011
if number is 111 then make it 0111
if number is 1111 then leave it 1111

When I save my file as a csv, it drops leading zeros in my zip codes. Formatting the column as text or even zip code only helps when I save it as xls - as soon as I switch it to csv it drops them.

GM0200022200000009
The above number is a barcode . The formula I need would add 1.
If I copied it down the next number would be
GM0200022200000010
I can work around the "GM" but the leading zero is killing me.

what i want to do is input a range of numbers into a cell "L12" from 1 to 450
though when in excel i have formated the cell to "number" so when i want number 001 it turns to 1
what i what to do in the macro is after
Dim sNum As Integer
Sheets("FFR").Select
sNum = Range("L12").Value
if the number 1 is in the cell "L12" the number 1 will be in the variable sNum, though i want the number to be 001!
would i have to count the number of numbers in the variable and then say for example if there is only "1" number in the box, use an "add 00" function to get the number in the variable to be 001! I have an idea what to do though no idea where to start!

I can't seem to get the Concatenate function to work in my macro when there is a combination of numbers and text. It works fine is there are no alpha characters. I am using this macro to format all of the data in column "A" to have 5 characters and be text. These values will later be used in formulas and Pivot Tables.
Sub Macro2()
Dim sinlen As String
Dim sinformat As Variant
Dim lastcell As Variant
Range("b1").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlLeft
Range("a1").Select
Do
ActiveCell.Value = "'" & ActiveCell.Value ......

I have the following script which is working fine execpt for its limited to running the loop 10 times. The macro is looking for files where the file extension could be anything between .P01 and .P99. Currently, the macro looks for file.P01 then file.P02 etc until it gets to file.P09 by increasing the value of 'i'. The trouble I am having is to get the variable 'i' to have a leading zero when the value is less than 10.

Dim OldName, NewName
Dim i As Integer
Dim strResult, strOldName, strNewName As String

i have a header row that i want to transfer to a new spreadsheet. here is my exact setup to make it more clear:
Sheet1 - 001 PM Usage$%
Sheet2 - 022 PM Usage$%
i have dozens of these rows, and i want to set up a auto rename for the header row on sheet 2 to rename itself like this:
Dim the value from header row on Sheet 1 (001), and rename the header on Sheet 2 (022), keeping the remaining contents intact (this is important because i want to use the same function for other headers which varies).
what i am doing now is dumping the value of the first cell into a variable, but as it stands it doesnt store 001, it stores 1... stripping the zeros, which makes it more complicated.
i thought perhaps i should dim the first 3 characters in the header as a string, and rename the first 3 characters in header 2, which i think would be the most efficient, but i dont even know if that is possible.

In the sample provided, Row 35 is criteria from a raw data source prior to the web query.

But I cannot seem to get the Day Of Week it's leading zero ,01,02,03,04,05,06 etc.
On all other days it works fine from the 10th onwards.
