Keeping Column As TEXT When Running Macro?
Jan 29, 2014
I have a string of numbers and characters and I have a Macro that I copy-pasted from somewhere online that REMOVES any character that is not a number.
Is a great Macro that transforms:
"-a209 03 . 1 - 22 46" to 2090312246
I can send the code on request.
However the problem comes when running the macro into that string excel transforms it DIRECTLY into a Numeric. That is we are missing the first two, or first characters when they are zeros.
For example: "007 01 1.32.08" becomes 70113208 in stead of: 0070113208
And this is a problem.
I have tried to define the cell as text before running the macro. Fails. I have tried to re-define the cell afterwards as text but the zeros do not appear. Fails.
Including in the Macro a last minute section that forces the cell to remain as text...(seems easy! but I have do not know how to program in VBA)

I have a spreadsheet that has numbers in column A (example = 31, 15, 159) I want to count the number (159) each time it occurs and keep a running count of it in say column B... example..... A1 = 159, A2 = 31, A3 = 159, so B3 would show (2) as the number 159 has appeared 2 times thus far.

Is it possible to have numbers added to the same cell and have excel continue to calculate the addition for me in that same cell......ex: I have the number 8 in cell d2 and I want to add the number 8 to that cell and have excel add the 8 to the previous 8 for a total of 16 in the same cell.....the next time I would add 5, and the total would be 21? Can this be done in a single cell?

I’m working in Excel ’03 with a large table. I’m hoping to run a macro against a cell with value ‘X’ whenever that value is found within a particular column. I’d like this to be relative and not tied to a particular column so I can tweak it as needed down the road and run it against different columns.
In the example below, lets say I’m working with column B. I’d like something that would go through every cell in the column and run a macro when it comes across a particular value. Let’s say this value is x.
__A B C D E F
1 a x a a a x
2 b a b b b a
3 c x c c c c
4 f f f x f f
5 s s s a s s
6 g x g g g x
7 a a a a a a
8 s s s s s s
So, in my example, the macro would be run on B1, B3, and B6. And, if I wanted to go back in later, I could run this on column D and the macro would run on cell D4.

I have an excel spread sheet with several rows of 265 (9A-IV) columns each with a heading. I would like to transpose the worksheet columns so that the heading is placed in Column A against the corresponding that is placed in column B. For example
ABCD14692571038Transpose to A1A2A3B4B5C6C7C8D9D10

I have 5 columns. The first 4 columns only contain 1 line each, the last column can contain anywhere from 1-6 lines. How can I do a sort and keep all the text in the last column together? By way, it was imputed on separate lines.

Is it possible to keep ending zeros in cells that are formatted for Text or General?
I have a column with numbers like the following: 264400
I need to format this number for three decimals so it will look like the following: 264.400
I need the column to be formatted for either Text or General. Currency breaks a system.

I want to create a kind of "Housekeeping Macro" that will run based on one single piece of information a number.
I want an inputbox to ask me for a number.
Based on that number I want the macro to do the following -
Go to Ws1 - Membership
Seach down column A until it finds the number put into the Inputbox
When it finds it do the following
Go to Column N and enter todays date as a value.
Go to Column Q and Enter No
Delete the data in R:S and U:V and X:Y and AA:AB and AD:AE
Go to Column J This contains the name of another worksheet i.e. Data1
Go to the worksheet Data1
Search down Column C and find all instances of that the the number entered into the inputbox (there could be several).
Go to each instance and delete the number.

I have a table with one column of data. The data in this column repeats with 4 relevant pieces of information that I want to put in 4 different columns (fields) in a different spread sheet (or the same would work better and I would just delete the first column when done) keeping the same order the data is now in.
The data currently repeats in a regular pattern (i.e. 123412341234 with no other data in between). I would like to do this with a macro. Could someone help write a macro that will do this

I need the macro for deleting duplicate rows only it should keep one lowest value row.

Column A Column B
TS1234 100

Macro will compair dublicates in column A & it will keep lowest value row (i.e. 50 value in Column B), other dublicate rows will be deleted.

I have a column with dates and times, and an associated column with data for all the dates and times. I want to add every hour of every day to the date/time column, but want the data associated with the times to stay in the row next to the correct time. How would I do this? In the attached file, i want to make coulmns A and B look like Coulnds E and F. I have hundreds (if not thousands) of rows, so i need a way to do this easily. Also, the times are not all evenly spaced or exactly on the hour. I dont need the times to be exactly on the hour or spaced out evenly, but i would like to have at least one time from every hour.

I copy a table from a data dump dbf file into worksheet 1. I enter a separate column titled "Comments" and use this for status purposes. My problem is that when I refresh the worksheet, my comments don't stay attached to the rows/ records that they were originally entered for.

I have a spreedsheet with 17,000 rows in it. In column D I have ID numbers and in column B I have the dates. There are multiple entries for each ID in column D which gives multiples dates each entry was given in column B. I need a VBA Macro that will identify duplicate entries in Column D and keep only the most recent entry by date in column B.

I'm trying to create a VBA macro that will allow me to copy a formula from one sheet to another whilst keeping all the original references.
E.g.
If the formula on Sheet1 is:
= sum(A1:B6)
then the copied formula on Sheet2 would read
=sum(Sheet1!A1:Sheet1!B6)
You can do this by cuting the cell, but I don't want to do this, I want to leave the original cell unchanged.
I'm sure there is some simple VBA code to do this, but I can't seem to figure it out.

I am running Win XP and Excel 2003.
I have a macro I found here on the boards written by Lenze to delete an entire row based on what is found in column A. I would like to delete any row where Col. B contains 10 or less characters and I have modified it to do so (or at least I think it does). My problem is that it takes about 12 minutes to run the macro (I have about 50k lines to run through). I was wondering if this is the fastest method or if it examines things other than just column B.
Sub Test()
Dim i As Long
LR = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
For i = LR To 2 Step -1
If Len(Cells(i, "B")) < 11 Then Cells(i, "B").EntireRow.Delete
Next i
End Sub
After this runs, I am left with Columns A to somewhere around AH. The columns are generally in the format of text followed by a numeric column. An individual text column has the same name through all of the rows. The numeric columns have varied values whether negative or positive.
Ideally what I would like: If a given cell (ie. C2) in Row 2 is numeric, then copy the cell to the left (ie. B2) into (ie. C1) and then delete Column B. I need this to work for multiple columns from B to C, skip D and E, and then from F to AG (and maybe beyond).

I am looking for a Macro that will search a column for blank cells, and when one is found will add text to the same row in another column. For example: The below is a spreadsheet. I am trying to find something that will search through column "C" in this case and add text (of my choice) to Column "A" if the cell is Blank. So Since cell C1 is Blank then Type "ERROR" is cell A1.
A B C D E
1 X X X X
2 X X X X
3 X X X X X
4 X X X X
5 X X X X

I have a macro that copies data from one sheet to another. I would like getting the macro to figure last row used in column B from B3 on and put the word Sum below it. For example, if last row used is B64, on B65 would like the word sum on it.
I cannot just input in as the number of rows could change when macro is run. Data is dynamic.
Here is simple code I have:
Sub Weight()
Sheets("Final Month").Select
Range("A2:B1055").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Final Weight").Select
[Code] ...........

Here in our department we made a pretty elaborate macro that takes a report and sorts them out to 17 different sheets in a one workbook. This Macro pulls a file from a specific location on our server and then opens the CSV sorts it out color codes all the important information and saves it back onto the server under you specific initials.
They are four PC's along with our Managers laptop that run this Macro daily.
About 3 weeks ago my Managers laptop stops running the Macro completely and hangs in the middle of the whole thing. Eventually crashing Excel.
We try to remove the modules and re-import them back into the personal macro workbork but this does not work. The Macro's did not change and still fully function on the other four desktops to this day.
I uninstall Office on my Managers laptop and reinstall. Import the Modules again and still hangs up in very same spot it did 3 weeks ago.
I've tried to lower the macro security to the lowest level also and I've still had no luck with this laptop. I don't understand. The Macro's function perfectly on other PC's but will not function on this laptop.

I don't understand why my macro doesn't work for "text to column". I did the usual: record new macro -> I select the column -> goto Data -> Text to Column ->next -> next -> finish.

I have recorded the following code, but while it works during the recording stage it doesn't within the macro.
Range("D18").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("D18"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=False, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
:=Array(1, 1), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
The data within column D is imported dates and I am doing the text to columns to get a later macro to recognise the cells as dates and not text.
(The code seems to work for a few of the cells but not all of them.)
