I need the macro to remove the apostrophe and calculate the formula in those cells..

Macro With Array Formulae Has Knocked Me Down

Jul 31, 2008

Have this workbook with over 34 worksheets. Exactly 31 sheets have over 700 rows & 5 columns of array formula. The cell references for these formulae are on "Sheet2" and the values in Sheet2 get populated after the macro is executed for Sheet1.

The macro when run, takes helluva time to complete and populate the values in these 31 worksheets. If I turn off the calculation, it throws out a an exception and on the top of it I have noticed sometimes that the computer hangs itself and becomes DEAD. The only option I got is to press the Reboot Button.

The same macro when run on less than 100 rows, works like a treat ! Could someone help me resolve this high density problem, the Excel way (I am not in a position or a situation right now - to use ADO Recordsets to rectify this problem and neither do I know how to use it). So if your suggestion asks me to use the ADODB then unfortunately it will not be helpful to me at the moment

I have tried by all means and now I am stressed out.

Sub try()
Worksheets("sheet1").Activate

Range("A5").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[-1]C"
Range("A5").Select
Selection.Copy
Range("A6:A65536").Select
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormulas, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

Convert Numbers Stored As Text To Text

Dec 2, 2009

I have the following macro that I use to convert numbers stored as text to text. For some reason, if I try to use it twice in a row, it won't work, I get an error that says "application-defined or object-defined error" and highlights this part of the Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Offset(1, 1).Copy

SUMIFS And Numbers Stored As Text

May 5, 2014

I do have the following problem:

When I use the SUMIF(S) function and a criteria range that has numbers stored as text (eg: '394) the unequal operator (<>) doesn't work.

=SUMIFS(B:B,C:C,"<>493") doesn't work

I'm able to get the salary of employee 493 by using "493" instead of "<>493", but it seems that with the unequal operator Excel starts treating this ID as number. The only work-around I found so far is to use a wildcard e.g. "<>*493" or "<>493*". Excel then treats it as text again, but this is dirty workaround. What happens if an employee with an ID e.g. 1493 shows up!?

"<>'493" or something doesn't work unfortuantely..

Employee ID

Salary

'250
10000

'493
13000

Converting Number Stored As Text

Mar 12, 2012

I have a spreadsheet which has over 30,000 records. One column is a row of numbers stored in a General format. Some of these numbers are however stored as Text and have the following Error Check:

"The number in this cell is stored as Text or preceded by an apostrophe"

As a result, when I try to import this sheet into Access, the numbers are not imported and appear as blank cells in the Table.

Is there a way either manually or programatically, format the column so all cells in that column are stored as a number and do not have the issue of being stored as text?

Sort Numbers Stored As Text Not Working?

Sep 17, 2013

In a spreadsheet I have a text column with entries such as:
2012
10 Times
10.5 Times
101 Times
25 Times
A Pure Text Entry

When I sort by this column I expect to get:
10 Times
10.5 Times
101 Times
2012
25 Times
A Pure Text Entry

Instead I get the 1st order. Why? I've selected 'Sort numbers stored as text' separately so it shouldn't be treating 2012 as a number. Besides I've checked & the cell formatting is Text.

Dec 6, 2011

I received one excel spreadsheet office 2010 every week from one on the vendor. it has over 55000 rows. I got columns N, O, P & Q. these columns has some value which I use for my pivot tables. However the values in this columns are stores as a text. I select the little small box (information box ) appears on the right side of the cell and right click on that where I get an option to change it to number. This is working well.

However I have over 55000 rows , it takes a lot of times to change all these cells in four columns ( almost over 220,000 cells). some times more than an hours.

I use excel 2010.

12-hour Time Entry Stored As Text

Dec 6, 2006

I have a problem with entering 12-hour time data in excel.

If I key in 3:00, Excel will recognise it as 3:00 AM.
If I key in 3:00 p, Excel will recognise it as a text entry. To get Excel to recognise it as 3:00 PM, I have to use the 24-hour format. i.e. I have to type 15:00.

I have checked the Regional and Language option in the Control Panel. Everything looks fine.

Does anyone have such encounter with Excel before?

Sort Formulae Returning Nothing ("" Empty Text) To Bottom

Mar 26, 2008

I have a sheet with a reference field that I want to sort. Each cell in the reference field has a formula in it, which specifies that the cell remain blank unless there is a value in the cell. The values are either text values or number values. e.g. =IF(ISERROR(S4),"",VLOOKUP(C4,'Rider Data'!A:G,6,FALSE))

When I sort the field in ascending order by the column that contains the formula above (using a macro written for this sort procedure), where the expected value is a text value, all the blank cells are sorted ABOVE the cells with text values in them, rather than below, even though they are blank cells. However,if I sort on a different column which contains time values or numerical values, the sort function works just fine. I have tested the VBA code that produces the erroneous sorting and confirmed that it happens only when sorting on columns that contain text values. I would like to sort text values in ascending order with blank cells BELOW the sorted cells.

Automatically Converting Numbers Stored As Text To Numers

Oct 28, 2008

I am using an ODBC database connection to input data into an excel file. When I input the data excel stores the numeric data as text and puts a ' in front of the number. There is an exclamation mark beside the cell which allows me to convert the data back to numeric format. I need excel to do this conversion for me automatically when new data is added to the file.

Cannot Convert Numbers Stored As Text To Number Format

Dec 14, 2009

There is probably a really easy answer to this question but I cannot seem to figure it out. I need to calculate the sum of pages faxed on a fax report at my office on an excel spreadsheet which is downloaded from our server. It appears the file is not meant to be used in excel but it downloads as an "*.xls" file anyway. When I open the file I receive this message:

"The file you are trying to open, 'FaxCetailReport.xls', is in a different format then specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"

The file is comnig from a trusted source so I select "Yes" and it opens just fine. There are just over 50 rows of info, one of them being the number of pages. In a blank cell I enter "=SUM(select rows)" and the result is a "0". I have converted the cells to the "number" format, no change. When I right click on the cells and select format, the protection tab on the right has the check box "Locked" checked and unchecking it does nothing, it is checked as soon as you go back in to the protection tab.

The only way around this is to manually retype the numbers in a cell next to the pages column, which is ok for 50 numbers, but I have some sheets where there is over 1,000 entries.

Number Stored As Text - Make Column As Numeric Permanently

Nov 29, 2011

I have sent a data sheet template to my client in which they paste their data, based on this data sheet analysis will be done automatically in next sheet "Summary".

Whenever they paste product code, vlookup is not working since the product code contains few are numeric (shows: "Number Stored as Text"). I advised my client to go with "Text to Column" and "Delimited" to change it as numeric. But my client feels this method is tedious one. Is there any alternate way to make that column as numeric permanently?

Using SUMIFS On A Large Amount Of Data - Numeric Value Stored As Text?

Aug 1, 2012

I was using SUMIFS on a large amount of data, but wasn't getting back the exact sum that I needed.

It turns out that I had cells with values similar to the following

Code:
000123
0123
Basically, text fields with the same numerical values, except for the number of leading zeros. Due to the nature of the table, the number of leading zeros is important.When I did SUMIFS, it counted the sum of the two values together. For example with the following:
Item
Batch
Qty

ABC
123
1

It appears that even if a numeric value is stored as text, SUMIFS treats it like a number.

Macro Works Stored In File But Not In Personal Folder

Apr 2, 2012

I have created a simple macro that inserts a header onto a sheet on the first row of a workbook. It works fine when the macro is stored in the file that I am wanting to paste the header into, but when I moved the macro to my "personal" folder it gives me a debug error with this code:

Code:
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Bid Sheet").Rows("1:1").Insert Shift:=xlDown
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Bid Sheet").Columns("K:K").ColumnWidth = 50

I am assuming this error is being caused by the phrase "ThisWorkbook" but I do not know how else to reference the workbook I want to run the macro on.

Full Code:

Sub Insert_Header()Dim wb As Workbook'Open Workbook
Set wb = Workbooks.Open("C:NewPage_Logo.xlsm", UpdateLinks:=False)    
'Go out to File and copy logo and header

I have a macro that works just find on my local machine. but it need to run from a network drive as several different people may need to access it.

A brief description of the macro.

The macro looks in an directory called unprocessed for any file named "*.csv" if the files are found it opens the file in excel and then copies data from that workbook to my workbook. after this the .csv file is closed (unchanged) and then it is moved to the processed directory.

Sub files()

Convert Numbers Stored As Text To Numbers (attached File)

Oct 22, 2009

In the ID column of the attached excel file whenever I convert the numbers stored as text to numbers it results in a weird transformation.

e.g. an ID of 480610141001 becomes 4.8061E+11. When I do the same process in the name column, which has similar numbers, it will give the correct result following the same process.

Remove The "Number Stored As Text" Error

Jul 18, 2006

I am using a macro do display actual date, by copy pasting special, so that the day and month is always 2 digits: ie. 01, 02, etc. in case less than 10.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Sheet2"). Range("C4").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=TEXT(TODAY(),""dd"")"
Range("D4").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=TEXT(TODAY(),""mm"")"
Range("E4").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=TEXT(TODAY(),""yyyy"")"
Range("C4:E4").Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("A4").Select
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("C4:D4").NumberFormat = "00"
End Sub

I paste special so the user does not see this formula. However, there is that annoying notification saying it is a number stored as text. What is the universal way to switch this warning off (or to better write the macro) so this warning will not be on any version of Excel?

"Countif" Function Stored As Variable In Macro?

Feb 2, 2009

Is it possible to use a "countif" function as part of a macro?

Here's the situation. In workbook "A", I want to look at a range of cells ("O19:O248") and count the number of times "apple" appears within that range. If "apple" appears 20 times, I would like the variable v_applecount to = 20 so that I can call that variable in workbook "B"

Note, I essentially want to do something like this in the Macro:

v_applecount = CountIf(O19:O248, "Apple")

Close And Reopen Workbook From Macro Stored Inside Workbook

Mar 30, 2007

I have a Macro that is stored in a specific workbook,"Projection Modeler.xls" the last line performed in this macro is the close workbooks without saving chages(this needs to be done due to the way this macro was written, and it would take too long to rewrite). If I would then like to reopen this workbook, and then rerun this macro, can I do this from inside the current macro (in a new sub routine, for instance), or do I have to write a macro outside of the workbook and then open the workbook and call the routine?

Evaluate A 'dotted' Number Using Formulae (not UDF)

Apr 12, 2006

Is there any way to 'evaluate' a dotted number (similar to an IPv4
address but not just those) using standard worksheet formulae (ie no
UDFs, VBA, or ATP functions)?

To make it a little more complicated, I need to be able to evaluate
not just IP addresses (although that would be a use) but also a
'number' such as 9.0.2 compared to 8.7.5 so that they can be sorted
and / or compared.

The views expressed are my own, and not those of my employer or anyone
else associated with me.

My current valid email address is:

This is valid as is. It is not munged, or altered at all.

It will be valid for AT LEAST one month from the date of this post.

If you are trying to contact me after that time,
it MAY still be valid, but may also have been
deactivated due to spam. If so, and you want
to contact me by email, try searching for a

Formulae To Find Last Used Row In WorkSheet: Aladin's UDF

I have mixed data from A1:A34.

Function Used(r As Range) As Range

Set Used = Intersect(r, r.Parent.Range(r.Parent.Cells(1, 1), q))
