Making Text To Columns Permanent In A File
Sep 7, 2007
I have some text that I am having to analyze which comes out of our computer looking like this:
N/0/N/Y/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N
I use the text to columns function and headers above it to translate what each field is.
As I'm doing my testing if I do this once, I can keep the file open and any time I paste a similar entry in it takes care of the formatting.
But, is there way to make the file do that permanently? I want to let the other testers use it without making them have to go through the steps of clicking on the delimiter, etc.

I've been using the function =vlookup(...) to fill up the cells in my spreadsheet. However, a problem I've come across is that vlookup does not make the values in the cell permanent and keeps drawing whatever value is found in the corresponding cells it searches. Thus if the file it draws it's info from goes missing or is edited, my data also changes accordingly. Therefore I would like to ask if there was a way in which I can make the data permanent in my spreadsheet.

I have received an excel spreadsheet that only has 23 columns. The sheet is not protected, the columns are not hidden, the columns are not shrunk to .01 millimetres, the columns are quite simply not there. How is this possible to do? Columns displayed are a through to W. If I delete a column the columns display only a through to v.

I need it to be like:
=B10 2014
(So the first part changes depending on what B10 is but the 2014 always stays)?

I have a macro which imports data from a mainframe dump text file and performs 'Text to Columns' on the imported data so that formula in the spreadsheet can act on the data. The code works perfectly well when I use it, but if a different user logs on and performs exactly the same mainframe dump and import macro the Text to Columns action splits the raw data in a different way and the result is that the split renders the formulae useless.
I've experimented a little and for some reason it appears that the 'Field Info' parameters which are produced when the Text to Columns function is recorded in a macro differ between users even though the raw data is exactly the same.
FieldInfo:= _
Array(Array(0, 1), Array(18, 1), Array(35, 1), Array(56, 1), Array(70, 1), Array(88, 1), _
Array(102, 1))

I am converting a xls workbook into a tab delimited text file, but instead of copying the entire workbook, I want to copy the first two columns of the workbook except for the header row.
This is my code which is copying the entire workbook -
Code:
Private Sub SaveAsTabDelimited(ByVal sFileName As String)
With ActiveWorkbook
.SaveAs FileName:=sFileName, FileFormat:=xlText, CreateBackup:=False
End With
End Sub
[Code]...
how can I achieve this in my macro. I tried using the range(A2:B100000).Select syntax, but it didn't work.

I have a bunch of excel files in a folder, and I want to make an excel spreadsheet that makes a list of them all. This drive is a shared drive and their are different authors for files. I have already made the list, with the file name, date modified, date created, etc. However, I am having trouble importing the list of the authors for the files. Is there a way to automatically import a list of excel files in an excel, with an "authors" column? I can't do it manually, for their are hundreds of excel files.

Is there a way to reduce a file's size to make it smaller with faster load times? I have a file that has ballooned in size due to the number of formulas and images I have installed.
Sometimes the file shuts down on it's own and make's my computer really slow.

I am creating 4 Sheets from a Main Sheet by Filtering Data based on different values in a fixed column, then the Filtered Rows are automatically pasted in the respective sheets.
Then these 4 Sheets are creating another file.
The same thing done manually by Grouping the 4 SHeets and then Move Copy into a New workbook also makes the file heavier.
Everything works fine however though the data is not much the file is very heavy, so what do i do to make it of appropriate size ?

I have a variable list. Each column will be 250 digits and numbers of rows will be variable. I want a macro to import a text file from a specific folder into a sheet without split it to columns. So we will work only in column A
Then macro will find B1002 wording in A1. if it is exist, it will copy the next 36 digits after B1002 wording if not then it will search A2 row. The next step will be to search and find another wording "B1001" if it finds it will replace copied 36 digits text. If it can not find B1001 wording it will go to upper row and search B1001 wording here and paste the text. This will go on till row shows #END. This means it reached the end of the list. And then macro will save this file as text file to another folder.
So macro will go to beginning to open other file in the folder and this will go on till last file in the folder.
This is the logic of the macro. Here is the sample of what I want.
Original Data: ....

Column G
Compensation
Payroll
Column H
COMPENSATION
Savings Box
Update Information General PAYROLL
Payment Inquiry Update Information Severance Pay
As shown above If you select Compensation in G you will have those three options in column H and the same for Payroll.

I have an existing spreadsheet with a column of strings (actually VIN numbers). These numbers correllate to a bunch of text files, that can exist in one of three folders (UsernameDesktop1, 2, or 3) on my desktop. What I need the macro to do is:
1) get the filename from A2 (A1 is a heading row)
2) Find the appropriate text file in one of the three folders
3) Put the folder name into I2
4) Scan the text file for some strings, and copy some data that follows those strings into J2:O2 (I can handle programming this)
5) Close the text file
6) repeat above for the remainder of filenames (about 1800 files)

I'm using excel to open a new word document, stick some text on different lines and then save and close. The trouble is, I want to bold the titles but when I do I either bold or unbold the entire document. The codes looks like this:
With wrdDoc
With .Content
.InsertAfter "TEST"
.Bold = True
End With
.Content.InsertAfter [Word_WordCount].Offset(0, 1).Value
.Content.InsertParagraphAfter
, etc....

I track inventory/sales for a very small sole proprietorship. I'm looking to track the number of items that I sell based on the text that I enter in a certain column.
Specifically, I want to have a visual chart/graph to show the percentage of each size/color of an item that I sell, as I sell it. When I enter the words "3T pink" I want the chart/graph/whatever to show another quantity of this category. As I sell a new item, I want the chart to reflect it.
The problem I'm having, is that the graphs/charts require two data sets, but I want the graph to calculate it for me! All I want to do is enter the text for specific items, and when the text occurs subsequent times, I want this reflected in the graph/chart.
It seems so much more simple in my head....basically I want a dynamic chart, not based on a static data set.

Got a slight problem; I am making a "worker-plan", where you should be able to write a name on one file and have it updated (removed) from the equivalent columns on another file automatically. Here's an example with two separate projects:
Project 1 before and after changes:
Attachment 257366
Attachment 257367
Project 2 before and after changes:
Attachment 257368
Attachment 257369
You can see here how I intended it to work. When one worker is moved from Project 1 to Project 2, that worker should also be removed from those weeks in Project 1. The previous worker from Project 2 should also be removed from those weeks (in Project 2).
Are there any formulas that can make this work automatically? All week numbers will belong to the same columns in all files.
Edit: There are 30 files that should be syncronized, not just two.. I could also gather all files into one file with sheets, instead of having seperate files.

I have downloded several versions of the VBA calendar posted either here on or on "hey that's cool" forum (i.e Phil's calendar, Barry's calendar etc, ect), however I could not find the answer for making the calendar stay on the spreadsheet permanently without any triger to initilise the user form.
What I am trying to do is to have an embeded calendar in my worksheet where user can choose different dates and link this to a pivot table date field, so when the date changes pivot table output changes. I managed to do that with excel calendar control tool, however not everybody has the OCX file on their computer.

I have a table that contains +/- 12,000 (A6:R12266) rows and I use several conditional formatting rules to highlight rows where the data changes from the row above in a sorted column for the visual easy of users. The conditional formatting works great however the data is the spreadsheet is constantly being modified and that is where I run into the problem. Whenever a row is inserted or deleted my rule is divided into multiple rules which is tedius to manage and also causes the formatting to appear incorrectly in some cases. I have the table defined as a named table in the name manager and I use that name for the range in the "Applies to" in conditional formatting, but as soon as I choose apply the name is converted to the current range which becomes several seprate rules and ranges as soon as the table is modified.
Formula to define which rows are highlighted
=$F5<>$F6
Range data applis to after chosing the tables name and clicking apply
=$A$6:$R$12266
