Macro To Replace Symbol
Jul 9, 2014
I'm using a large database - excel based, with lots of VBA and macros inside - where the default decimal format is “.” (period). When I copy and paste into a normal excel workbook format I want to replace the periods with comas. The paste function I'm using is “Match Destination Formatting (M)”.
I've recorded a macro to replace all of the periods with comas - still some of the values come up as a whole number, the period not being replaced with the coma.
I've tried almost all of the formats - text, general, number .... Still does not work.

Is there a way to define the end of a cell in a find/replace? I.e. I want to find characters like this:
;;[space character][end of cell]
and replace with
[end of cell]
(that is just delete the ;;[space character] bit when it is followed by end of cell)

I have a spreadsheet with 2 columns (let's pretend), the first column uses Data Validation for a dropdown list. The second column contains a formula that references the 1st column and uses lookup:
=IF(A35<>0;LOOKUP(A35;NewCons;NewGroups))
So as soon as a value is selected in column A, column B changes to display a value.
Rather than just displaying this value, I would like the cell in column B to be completely replaced by this value, so goodbye to the formula.
Is there a way that I can do this? Will I need to go and study how to use macros?

I have a workbook (materials forecasting) that automatically pulls from another workbook (production schedule).
The materials forecasting workbooks are named in regards to the current Monday (ie 02-02-09.xls, 02-09-09.xls, etc). The production schedules are named in accordance with the financial periods and weeks, ie PD1WK1.xls, PD1WK2.xls, PD1WK3.xls, PD1WK4.xls, PD2WK1.xls, etc
The materials forecasting sheet looks two weeks out.
EXAMPLE (pretend that today is the first day of PD1WK1)
Cell C1 will reference PD1WK1.xls
Cell C2 will reference PD1WK2.xls
Each week I copy the old materials forecasting sheet and rename it to the current week (ie I take 02-02-09.xls and rename it to 02-09-09.xls). I have a bunch of macros set up to move my deliveries up a week and what not. One macro I would like to set up, however, is that by putting a value in a cell the find and replace macro will work.
EXAMPLE
Cell A1 will reference PD1WK2.xls
Cell A2 will reference PD1WK3.xls
Cell C1 will reference PD1WK1.xls
Cell C2 will reference PD1WK2.xls
Then I would have the macro find all instances of whatever value is in cell C2 and replace it with whatever value is in cell A2. Then likewise fore C1 and A1 respectively. (If you think about what I am doing here... all I am doing is moving the schedule up one week so that I am forecasting using the right schedule).
I can manually do this but I would prefer a macro based on a simple user input for when people fill in for me.

I have been having a problem with the worksheet (attached) and was wondering if anyone could give me any help.
I will explain the purpose of the sheet etc first and what it does at the moment:
This work sheet is to record peoples projects, hours related to those projects, and calculate their availability 37.5-(project hours+pto) for Belfast and dublin and 40-(project hours+pto) for chicago, and also their utilization which is =((37.5-Availability)/37.5)*100 for belfast and Dublin and ((40-Availability)/40)*100 for Chicago.
When a project is added I am currently going in and updating the formula for that person to incorporate the new row which their project is on, this is proving to be quite time consuming, and I was wondering if there were any macros that could be used so that it would search for a name on the first column and use each of the hours that are in the column for the given week to calculate the availability?
The utilization is not a big problem as it just uses the availability so as long as the availability is correct then the utilization is correct..
If there is not a macro do you know of any way this can be automated so that I do not manually have to add to formula for each cell when a new row is added with a project and hours?

I have a column of about 10,000 lines which contains a description Sheet 1 Column B. On another sheet (2) I have about 200 lines of abbrevations. In coulmn A2 is the full name, and column b is the Abbrevation. I would like to create a macro that would go down the list in A2 Sheet 2, go to Sheet 1 B find that word and replace it with Sheet 2 B2 abbrevation. Is there a way to do that?

I have a customer data file in which some cells have been completed with x's and I need to replace any cell that contains x's with a blank.
I can easily do this when the cell contains a single x by using find and replace within the macro, but some customers have completed fields with xx or xxx or xxxx and so on - these x's may be in upper or lower case.
I can't just replace all instances of x (or X) with blank on partial cells as there will be company names or address details that will contain an x.
What I need is a way to identify cells that contain ONLY x character(s): so "x" would be replaced with blank as would "xx", "xxx" etc., but "XYZ Limited", "LOXX & Co." or "Essex" need to be left as is.
I can't even think where to begin on this. Anyone got any bright ideas or can point me in the right direction?

I had written a macro about two years ago that replaced longer company names with common abbreviations. I store it in Personal.xls, and it has been relatively fast (2-5 sec for most projects with < 2000 rows). However, I tried it on a file with 15,000 rows, and it choked Excel - i.e. it wouldn't run and had to be force quite (Excel XP on Windows 2000).
Here is a portion of the macro (I have about 40 companies that need to be abbreviated, names here have been simplified to protect the guilty ). I stepped through a couple of these lines to see what would happen, and each line took at least 1-2 min.
Sub ChgCompNames()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Cells.Replace What:="Company AAAA", Replacement:="AAAA", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows
Cells.Replace What:="Company BBBB", Replacement:="BBBB", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows
Cells.Replace What:="Company CCCC", Replacement:="CCCC", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows
Cells.Replace What:="Company DDDD", Replacement:="DDDD", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I have a sheet that when printed out, will have 1 or more check boxes (depending on a formula) beside various items. Basically, if in a datafield it shows that there should be 3 boxes beside a line, it will show similar to this (except the O's are check boxes).
Usable 3 times per day. O O O
In the actual symbols list, there are no such symbols. I think there must be another type of symbol available as I use: ►
I grabbed that symbol from another spreadsheet, and I have no idea where it came from. I have wanted a similar arrow that points to the left or up, but I have no idea where to find them. I only know that the spreadsheet accepts a copy/paste of this symbol, and it does not seem to be related to any particular font set.
where I could find a "empty box" symbol, and also tell me where symbols like ► come from.

Find and replace script / macro?
I'm not sure what type of function is needed for what I'm describing below. I'm thinking it is a script or macro? I don't know anything about writing scripts or macros and I am quite new to excel.
I'm trying to learn chinese and am making chinese flashcards for myself.
The fact that some of the cells have chinese characters probably doesn't matter, but I just want to be thorough in my description....

This macro finds and replaces multiple values found on another sheet. however, it does not only take the exact value, also others.
Example:
If i want to change "Example 1", "Example 2", ... "Example 10" into "One", "two", etc. Example 10 then changes into "One 0" because it changes the Example 1 (without the 0 in 10) into One. Is there any way to alter this (or do you have another macro to replace multiple values?

I have a long list of items in one column, with parameters that are all split by an underscore.
However, in some instances, some of the text that is separated by an underscore needs to be joined together.
So for instance I'll have;
This_is_a_very_good_thing
This_is_a_perfect_thing
Where I want the result to be that "good_thing" becomes "good-thing" and "perfect_thing" becomes "perfect-thing".
How can I get this done with a Macro, instead of constantly doing a Vlookup to change this instances.

I'm trying to create a macro to replace a link on a formula.
The formula is as below
='[Players Report 31121999.xls]Player1'!$AK$23
Where 31121999 is the date. there's a workbook everyday with different sheets for every player
I want to have a macro that gets the date I inputed in another cell and changes the date in the formula I displayed above (just changing the date).

Here is the find / replace vba I am using.
Sub Replace()
Cells.Replace What:=Chr(19), Replacement:="-", LookAt:=xlPart
Cells.Replace What:=Chr(24), Replacement:="'", LookAt:=xlPart
Cells.Replace What:=Chr(145), Replacement:="'", LookAt:=xlPart
Cells.Replace What:=Chr(146), Replacement:="'", LookAt:=xlPart
Cells.Replace What:=Chr(160), Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart
End Sub
It makes the replacements up to line 37, then stops. If you then delete the first 37 rows and re-run the macro, it again performs replacements, but only on the next 37 rows.
I would like the macro to do the whole sheet...

way to find/ replace some null values in a range of selected cells in a column. I would like to select a first and last cell, and replace the value -999.25 with the average of the cells that are above and below it. If there are more than one -999.25 cells, I would like to do the same thing with the average of the cells that above and below the first and last -999.25.
I would also like the same macro to replace any value that is over 200 with the average of the cells above and below it...

I have two worksheets in two separate workbooks. One contains only two columns - a list of codes and the corresponding name of an institution. The other workbook contains a column with the codes. I want to replace the codes in the second workbook with the names from the first workbook.
I found this code on [url] here: Find & Replace macro
Sub DoIt()
Dim rRange As Range, rCell As Range
On Error Resume Next
With Workbooks("Personal.xls")
Set rRange = .Sheets(1).Range("A1", .Sheet1.Range("B65536").End(xlUp))
End With
For Each rCell In rRange.Columns(1).Cells
Selection.Replace What:=rCell, Replacement:=rCell(1, 2), _
LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False
Next rCell
On Error Resume Next
End Sub
This is exactly what I need, but like the last person who asked about it, I can't get it to work. I've gone through Dave's instructions a number of times, and now I'm stumped.

I have created a workbook that generates new worksheets with unique identifiers as tab names. I.e. On a "Create New Sheet" worksheet, input three pieces of data, click "Create New Sheet" and this data is applied to a template sheet, macro continues running to copy the template and rename is with a unique SKU.
My problem is as follows: I have yet to figure out how to generate an Index page that is updated as each new sheet is added with the following:
a) Cell containing the SKU and a hyperlink (or some other link) to that particular tab, and
b) Beside this cell, pull the contents of certain cells from that SKU's tab (such as description, but also the contents of calculated fields on that SKU's tab like current quantity and current price).
I would like the Index to be live so that if data is changed on the SKU's tab, it flows through to the Index......

I have a large list of data.
Approx 10,000 rows.
All I'm looking to do is delete in each row everything after the / symbol.
So everything after a forward slash gets deleted.
All my data is in ColA from A3 downwards.
Ideally would love a macro I can assign a button to.
As an example;
info@123croieres.com/Categories/travel-and-tourism-lodging.htm
So the above after the macro run would look like;

This problem has come up fairly frequently lately, and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if this is by design...but in Excel 2003 I can't seem to do a "Find and Replace" based on the value of a cell. I can do a find, based on cell value, but the moment I change to the replace tab, the "values" and "comments" are missing from the "look in" dropdown.
I've only noticed this when I'm trying to replace on a filtered list, so I'm not sure if that is part of the issue.
Perhaps an alternative way of arriving at the same goal. Basically I have a worksheet with a number of filtered columns. They are filtered just right, using custom filtering, and so I do not want to undo the filters. In some columns I have formulas that are returning #VALUE! errors. I'd like to replace all of these cells with NA.
