Merge Cell Contents Into A Text Block?
Oct 31, 2008
I need to merge the contents of an Excel 2007 workbook into a text document, creating a series of paragraphs that look like this: Text text text [contents of cell A1] text text text [contents of cell A1] text. Text text text [contents of cell A2] text text text [contents of cell A2] text. Etc.
Apart from the cell contents, each paragraph will be identical. (I would do this by hand, but there are about 500 paragraphs.). Is there a way to merge the cell contents like that into a text document (Word or whatever)?

I'm trying to use the "clear contents macro" for merge cell, but I keep receiving this "compile error : Expected End Sub" error.
FYI, I have named my merge cells to "myMergedCells"

this is my first post in this great forum. let me start talking about what I need, I used to convert some statement from PDF to XLS format for my work purpose. sometimes I am facing a problem that some text in the statement will come in more than one row, actually I need it to come in one cell but it is coming in several rows that mean, if I want to sort or filter my data, I will lose some important data. What do I want???
I want a macro to merge the contents of selected cells and put it in the first cell of the selected cells then clear the other cells. I will use this macro for the following cases: Case 1- assume we have this data in any sheet.
B1=How
C1=are
D1=you? ( all without any space )
after selecting the said cells and applying this macro, the result will be:
B1=How are you? ( one space only between the content of the selected cells )
C1=D1=empty
Case 2- assume we have this data in any sheet.
B1=How.........

Search a worksheet for a user defined text string, and have excell return the contents of a predetermined column in the same row in which the text string was found.
A prepopulated worksheet has the text "gold" entered in cell T278.
1. user searches for "yellow_metal"
2. Excell finds "yellow_metal" in row 278, say in cell A278.
3. Excell then goes to predetermined column (programed as part of macro or VB), say "T", and returns the text contents of the cell in that column, T278 in this example.
4. Excell returns "gold"

Been racking brain, searching through the forum here, and my Excel 2003 Bible all day trying to figure out this problem to no avail. I would like to clear the contents of any cell in a given range if the cell immediately to the right of is formatted as bold.

developing a formula that will apply data from one cell to a block of text in another.
Here is what I need to do.
1. I want to insert the data in A1 of the attachment to the block of text in B1.
I can do this manually but I have to do this 10,000 times so I need a formula that I can apply.

Below is a small sample of Column A from a spreadsheet I'm working with. All cells in the column begin with a 6 digit number:
115383_BOSTON
115384_NEW_YORK
115385_PORTLAND
115402_LOS_ANGELES
115403_WACO
115010_SAINT_PAUL
115011_SAN_DIEGO
115130_WEST_NYACK
115021_CHAPEL_HILL
What formula would allow me to enter only a 6 digit number and return the entire cell contents, i.e, search for 115403 and get a return of 115403_WACO ? I have tried INDEX and MATCH, but I'm not getting the results I need.

Need to search a sheet and find cells that contain the text "Requirement". If found then i want that cell to become blank.
example
so in sheet1,
i have a number of columns and a number of rows
in cell A3 the value is - " there are requirements"
in cell F23, the value is -"the Requirement is"
since both cells have the word requirement, I want these cells to become blank.

Need to search a sheet and find cells that contain the text "."
Want all cells that don't contain a "." (dot) to be erased from the sheet
Example : so in sheet1,
I have a number of columns and a number of rows
in cell A3 the value is - " there are requirements."
in cell F23, the value is -"the Requirement is."
since both cells have "." ( dot) , I want these cells to remain in the sheet, but the rest of the cells should become blank.

I did a search for " import text" and found some promising leads, but not exactly what I was looking for. I have tried running macros and looking at the code but don't know how to pass the file names from the the D47:D147 range to VBA(see below). I saw elsewhere that Excel can be told to create a temporary batch file, and that the batch file with the command "copy text1.txt+text2.txt+text3.txt all.txt" for example could be used to merge the 3 text files into a file called all.txt. I don't however know how specify the path where copy starts, to tell the batch file to look in subdirectories or to pass the file into Excel. I've posted this question yesterday to Yahoo Answers http://tinyurl.com/omers and http://tinyurl.com/rfww9 without much luck.
Below is the macro I would like:I have text files whose names are found in the range D47:D147 although without the appended ".txt" extension. The sheets can only contain one name sometimes, but on average 8 to 10, so in the average case only cells D47:D56 would have entries.The text files are found in the say H:Textfiles directory or subdirectories.I would like Excel to find these files, concatenate them with a row between each file, and paste the results into cell K251.Finally, the text import wizard should be used with a space as a delimiter and the last 3 columns (it's sometimes only 2) of the concatenated file, not imported.

ie:
Cell A1 = Ref#01
Cell B1 = A1&(whatever I choose to type)
Result in cell B1: Ref#01whatever I choose to type
Looks like I would need a macro because a function will be overwritten as soon as I start typing in cell B1.

I want to display the contents of cell B5 in A7 by using cell C7 to show the location of the cell to be displayed. Cell C7 has a formula that shows the cell location of information (text) that needs to be displayed. How can I show in A7 the contents of cell reference shown in C7? In figure attached I show an example to better understand. Want in A7 to show the contents of B5 by reading what is in C7. So A7 cell should show word Road.

So right now I have a spreadsheet that looks something like this:
A
B
C
D
[Code]....
As you can see, the stock names are slightly different in columns A & C (CORP. vs CORP, CO vs CO., etc). I need a formula in column D that searches column A for the first word in column C, and then retrieves the contents of that cell. I want to do this because I will then use a vlookup in column E to get the ticker for the stock.
Right now I have: =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(LEFT(C1,FIND(" ",C1)),A:A,1)),A:A,"")
This formula searches column A for EXXON, but does not return the contents of the cell. Instead, it returns the contents of a different cell in the column.

I frequently review DAT files. These DAT files use a variety of characters as delimiters. I'm trying to devise a macro that will perform a text-to-column operation, using the content of a specified cell as the delimiter.
Here's my code, which uses - (ASCII 0254) as a delimiter:
Code:
With Sheet1
Range("A1", ActiveCell.End(xlDown)).Select
Do
[Code]....
Instead of having the delimiter hard-coded, I'd like my macro to use whatever character I enter into Sheet3.Range("i5") as a delimiter. That way, I can easily change my delimiter character as necessary.

I have a workbook with 2 worksheets, A and B. Sheet A contains source data and sheet B a pivot table of this data. I want my user to click on a cell within the pivot table,click a button that runs a macro to find the instance of this value within Sheet A. I did record a macro but it did not work.

I have a workbook consisting of two sheets: a Monthly Class Schedule (Divided into five one-week blocks. Each block's vertical is Mon to Fri, the horizontal is 9 class slots. There are 45 class slots pw). Each class has one student and the cells are filled 'Student Number, First Initial, Surname' eg, '666 J Smith'. Students may be scheduled for several class slots per week and some class slots have no students scheduled. When the student attends a 'P'is added at the beginning of the cell eg,'P 666 J Smith'.
The Student Attendance Report has the students listed vertically on the left, arranged by Student Number, and then a column for each week.
At the moment I have to manually count the classes each student has attended for each week and enter the attendance figures in the appropriate week column. It's a PitA so I want to automate the process by using the S#s in the Attendance Sheet to search the week blocks in the Schedule Sheet for 'P S#' and auto-fill the week columns in the Attendance Sheet.

I have some dynamic named ranges in sheet1, and in sheet2 I have data validation dropdown list which has the names of all the DNR's in it.
What I want it to do (in sheet3, no less) is for the user to be able to pick a named range from the dropdown list, and have a particular column in sheet3 then display that entire named range.
I have made a 'data' worksheet which is the source for the data validation in sheet2. Each item in the list identically matches the name of each of the named ranges. I was hoping to be able to use some form of =INDIRECT but alas, no such luck.
So it's almost like a copy and paste function I'm after, where:
If you pick "Schedule_From" out of the DD-list, then DNR 'Schedule_From' is what is pasted in Column B in Sheet3.
DON'T want to use a PivotTable.

I have a log that information gets enter into by rows. When one rows info is entered a "Start" button is to be clicked and a macro runs and does different calculations. I want a way to not let the next rows information to be entered until the "Start" button is clicked on or Is there a way to have the code run automatically when the user has entered the info in the last cell of the row and goes back to the first cell in the next row ?

I thought this was a pretty simple formula but I am having difficulty creating it. I am attaching a little test spreadsheet. Sheet 1 is where the data will be entered. The Reimbursed column has a drop down choice of yes or no. The next 2 columns are the cost of registration and the cost of accommodations. On sheet 2 is where I would like the formulas. So in cell A4 I would like a formula that says if B3 on sheet 1 is Yes populate this cell with the contents of Cell C3 only, B4 of sheet 2 would then be B3 if A3 on sheet 3 is Yes and so on with the Not reinbursed if sheet 1 the Reimbursed column is no.

is there any way for a worksheet to import and merge (append) tab delimited files from these directories:
C:TempmergeVdata.txt
C:TempmergeV (2)data.txt
C:TempmergeV (3)data.txt
C:TempmergeV (4)data.txt
C:TempmergeV (5)data.txt
- contents of data.txt have range A1:Pn, where 'n' is last row, different for each file
- found a previous thread very similar to what i wanted, but donno how to edit this to suit my purpose
[Solved] Importing: Import many TXT files to singe workshee
BTW, does VBA recognise directory folder with unicode characters? I can rename my directory if it doesn't.

I have a sheet that has a section in range (c18:k25) (it is merged and text is wrapped) If that amount of space is not adequate to fit all their information I would like to add a macro that when activated it asks how many rows would you like to add and then based on that number whether it be 1-10 it would insert a new row to that merged range so they can continue adding more information . I have the sheet locked down to prevent changes so it would have to be unlocked and then re-locked within the macro.

I am using the following formula to find out the No. of "HH" in the range given and I am getting the results simply with numerical value as 2, 3 etc. I want the result should be displayed as 2HH, 3HH depending upon the No. of "HH" available in the given range. The result should be displayed as (the No. added with the text "HH").
=IF(AND(DJ10="HH"),COUNTIF(DF10:DJ10,"HH"),"-")
