The following afterupdate procedure for my txtStart1 text box sends the value to the FormatTimeValue function that is coded in a module.
Private Sub txtStart1_AfterUpdate()
MsgBox Len(Trim(Me.txtStart1.vaue)) '<= outputs 1
Me.txtStart1.Value = FormatTimeValue(Trim(Me.txtStart1.Value))
End Sub
As you can see from the bolded text, the length of the value is 1 when outputted from the forms code.
However, when I pass it to the following function in a module it outputs 2 as the length.
Function FormatTimeValue(vTarget As Integer) As String
Dim TimeStr As String
If IsNumeric(vTarget) Then
MsgBox Len(vTarget) '<= outputs 2
Select Case Len(vTarget)
Case 1 ' e.g., user entered 1 so time should be 01:00
TimeStr = "0" & vTarget & ":00"
I have a spreadsheet with 2 sheets. The first just links to another file and pulls in the contents of a particular sheet, cell for cell. The second sheet is a formatted report that I'm creating to put that data into a different format for presenting to others. I'm using the Index and Match function along with range names. All is fine except where the string that should be returned is very long. When that happens, I get "######" all the way across the cell. It doesn't matter how wide I make the column or how tall I make the row, the "#s" do not go away. Is there a limit on the number of characters the Index function can return?
I've set up a filing system which saves sheets/ workbooks based on the value of a cell - Range("B1") Everything works great apart from when ThisFile String length exceeds 31 characters which you may know is the max useable character length for a sheet name - I had no idea! 8-0
Is there a way i can check if string length exceeds 31 characters then, if it does, shorten it to 31 characters?
I need a formula to calculate how many months has passed irregardless how many days had passed. What I mean by that is if I have a starting date of 1/31/2010 and an end date of 2/1/28/2010, that should count as 1 month passed. I tried using the DATEDIF function, but that function is counting number of days, so if only 28 days had passed, that would not count as 1 month.
I am trying to create a string of text that grabs info from other cells, which is easy so for example
=A1&A2&A3
would grab all the info from the 3 cells and merge them to create a string, but what I want to do is create a prefixed length.
Lets say A1, A2 and A3 would equal 10 characters in total but B1, B2 and B3 would equal 7 characters, these would be different lengths. so for a visual description I would like them to appear like this
At the moment
01MAIN-HELLO 01DESSERT-HELLO WORLD
Would like
01MAINXXX-HELLO 01DESSERT-HELLO WORLD
This would make both strings the same length and would make it easier for me to export to a custom file that needs a certain length prefix.
I have a row of 1's and blanks, where there might be 10 consecutive 1's, followed by four consecutive blanks. I want to calculate the average length of a string of 1's in the row -- how this might be accomplished?
I get all my results from a CSV file. This isn’t a problem except for the first nine days of the month where excel cuts off the first 0 so 01012009 reads 1012009 and cannot be properly concatenated.
What I would like to do is have VB read the contents of the date cell and if it is less than eight characters, edit the cell by adding a zero at the beginning of the string. This needs to be a one off process for all cells. Can anyone come up with code that might make this happen?
I have an ODBC connection to a db2 database in MSQuery. I want to return the length of a string. I've tried Len(string) but it says its not in the library.
I have looked into the maximum length of a variant/string in vba and it appears to be 250 characters. I am running a macro which first lists all excel files in a folder, returning them to a sheet, then using a loop statement opens each one in turn extracting the information to a second summary sheet before closing it. The file path to the folder is ridiculously long and the macro stumbles. I used the =LEN(A1) formula to check if the file names were too long for the string, but the maximum file name length was 226 characters. I've tried both String and Variant to collect the file names but both have the same effect.
I need to insert 00 if the string of text = 13 in a specific column.
eg. Column K can contain any amount of lines of data. The data will either be 15 or 13 characters in length. If its length is 15 its fine, if its 13 I need to get it to 15 characters.
The first 6 characters are letters so if the length is only 13 I need to add the 00 in after the last letter.
I am trying to split up a cell into numbers and charachters and place them in separate columns, but the lenght of the number part varies as does the content of the character part.
For example, one cell could be 5#, 10Tins, 4 lb, 100Pcs, etc. I would like to be able to pull out the #, Tins, lb, and Pcs in to their own column.
I have found this formula: =LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1,1)-1)
but it assumes some level of consistency, the "-" in the cell.
I have a set of data in Which in column A is the name of organisation.
If string in col A is longer than 50 I need to split in and put in col B.
That would be simple however I need to do it in a smart manner: i.e. cut it to the nearest full word.
Example:
THIS EXAMPLE NAME IS TOO LONG TO FIT INTO 50-TEXT CRITERIA SO I NEED TO DIVIDE IT INTO TWO STRINGS
Incorrect; length = 98
THIS EXAMPLE NAME IS TOO LONG TO FIT INTO 50-TEXT Correct; trimmed down to 48.
My question is about formula that can detect spaces and depending on those trim the string down adequatly: to 50 if 50th char is preceeded by space; if not then check where is the next space going towards left. Once you find it cut the string there.
Hey I got a long String like this "[...] increase of x.xx% [...]".
I am trying to extract only the percentage number which can be of variable length, so maybe 900.99% or 9.99%.
I tried this formula: =MID(G14,SEARCH("%",G14)-5,5) but this one doesnt bring the right results as the percentage figure is often not exactly 5 characters long.
I have a google earth KML file that I have converted to text, and through a bunch of manipulation have been able to pull a series of GPS coordinate strings into a single cell string. Unfortunately, the string data is beyond what excel 2007 can handle for a single cell. so my thought is to have excel pull each coordinate string into a separate cell with which i can then run a macro to develop a new KML dynamically. (changing multiple attributes based on a query to a database)
Each string of coords actually maps out a single region (path) on the KML, truth be told it is telecom rate center data, and each rate center will have numerous other variables applied to it depending on my company's voice network capability for a given rate center. Currently my only desire is to depict differently any rate centers that I'm able to deliver VOIP services to by showing them in a different color...but these change very often so it will support to be able to auto generate the map from time to time.
the raw data from the KML looks like this:
Code:
CLINTONVL
RATE_CNTRCLINTONVL STATEPA]]>
ff000000 1 0 1
[Code] ..........
After doing my data import, i extracted via various manipulations, the rate center name (a common lookup value that stays constant across multiple databases), and the string of coordinates. this is where i run into trouble. i need to pull each coord into a separate cell assuming i won't run out of cells in the x coordinates to gather this data OR find a way to grab the data via another lookup to another document...not desireable.
First off, my import was jacked up by missing some comma's...this i can fix easily with the string importation and manipulation HOWEVER...i still run into the issue of string length OFTEN.
Is there a way to stop getting the error of a string of poind signd (which look like ################) whenever I'm trying to copy and paste information from another worksheet, or trying to link one sheet to another?
I've already tried resizing the rows and columns to their respective maximums but it doesn't seem to work.
I have a small problem using the ‘sumproduct function’ which I am using it to calculate the area under curves using the following equation (=SUMPRODUCT((B10:B109-B9:B108)*(D10:D109+D9:D108))*0.5). However I have hundreds of curves to calculate the area under and the length of the data series for each curve is different, I am currently changing the length of the data series by hand. I have attached an example worksheet of 2 sets of data (the formula I am using at the moment is highlighted in blue – row 203). Is there are function or formula that I can use inside this equation to change the range of the formula depending on the length of the data series?
My worksheet contains data with the reaction times on a psychological test. Each respondent in the test has 280 rows in my excel sheet.
The 'perfect' length of the row, is from A to M. When an error is made in the test, the length of the row will increase. So the error length can be A to AA.
For me it is important to analyse the error. So I would like to give a perfect row length, the value 1, and an error row length a value 2.
So, in conclusion:
If: Cell length = A1 - M1? --> Copy A1 B1 C1 (A B Cof that row) to Sheet3, and give D1 in sheet 3 the value 1
Cell length >= A1 - M1? --> Copy A1 B1 C1 (A B C of that row) to Sheet3, and give D1 in sheet 3 the value 2
(I need to do this using VBA so that it can work as an excel macro and/or a vba function in access.)
How can I extract the first occurance of any substring over a certain character length from within a string ?
eg. My string may take any of the forms given below (or something similar), how can I extract the first set of characters that is at least (say) 4 characters long ? i.e. always get the 'Phillips' out of the below...
Phillips Homes Ltd Mr T A Phillips TA Phillips Homes Ltd T A Phillips Homes Ltd T. A. Phillips Homes Ltd
The names used are only an example (Phillips could be any name whatsoever).I am familiar with Search, Len, Left, Right, Mid, Instr etc. but just can't figure this one out.
On sheet 1 I have a list of 1000 firstnames On sheet 2 I have a list of 1000 emails,
I need a function that states If a cell in the email column contains a string or value from the names column, it will result in a true statement so that I can separate out the emails that have these peoples first names.
i have a question regarding the right function. can you use a string within the function. i know that the function is written =right(A3,2). is it possible to write the function as =right(a3:z3,2). i keep geting an error with this function
I have a Sum function in a cell on a spreadsheet and a bit of code which checks it using an If statement. If the Sum equals 1 (100%) it should do one thing, if not do another. However, if I put in the If statement that the Sum cell value should equal 1, it doesn't work. If I put it should equal "1", it does work. Why?
Example that works:
If Range("LocalBirthTypes").Value <> "1" Then MsgBox "To use your own data the split between the birth types must total 100%", vbExclamation, "Maternity service planning tool" Goto Exiting End If
Example that doesn't work:
If Range("LocalBirthTypes").Value <> 1 Then MsgBox "To use your own data the split between the birth types must total 100%", vbExclamation, "Maternity service planning tool" Goto Exiting End If
I am trying to make a function to take 3 Cells and using the initial Cell(say A1 with value of 100) as the inital value of a sum. Take Cell two(say A2 with value of 10) and add the value of A1 to Value of A2 in a constant increase. In otherwords A1+A2*A3= next increase. A3 is the value I want to change. But I want to add these values together as many times as the value of A3. so with current numbers will be 100+110+120+130+140 with A3 being a value of 5.
Private Sub Workbook_Activate() Dim user As String If Worksheets("Setup"). Range("D6").Value = "" Then user$ = InputBox("Hello. Please enter your name to inialize the program", "Enter Name") Worksheets("Setup").Range("D6").Value = user MsgBox ("Welcome " & user & ". Press 'OK' to continue on to the Main Menu.") Else user$ = Worksheets("Setup").Range("D6").Value MsgBox ("Welcome back " & user & ". Press 'OK' to continue on to the Main Menu.") End If Exit Sub
but i would like to expand the "welcome back" msgbox to also display "the last time you were was was (eg: 2 days/3 hrs/14 min) ago" - which i presume would be calculated from the last save.
