Multiline Cell -- SingleLine Cell With Space
Sep 17, 2009
I have a cell with entries as follows for example
abcd
efgh
ijkl
i would like to split it over multiple columns. Let me be a little more specific.
my data is arranged as follows in the cell
abcd<space><enter>
efgh<space><enter>
ijlk<space>
I want it as follows in ONE cell as follows
abcd<space>efgh<space>ijkl
OR
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
abcd efgh ijkl
1. "Data -->Text to columns" : doesn't work for some reason, only my first string "abcd" is being read. Please do remember I have more than a thousand entries so manual change on each cell would be difficult.
2. =clean() : removes the spaces making data splitting impossible.
3. =trim() : same as above

I'm trying to write a macro, and the first thing I need it to do is paste a value into the currently selected cell. This value, though, will usually be multiline. So when I try to do it now, it pastes into the selected cell and the cells below it (one for each line of the pasted value). When I'm pasting manually, I avoid this by pressing F2 to edit the cell first, and then pasting. But how can I do this using a macro? Is there a type of paste command that will insert the multiline value from the clipboard into the selected cell?

I'm trying to automate the importing and processing of a fairly large formatted text file (~15000 lines) containing many tables of data. I've been refining this process for several months and recently was alerted to a problem. A few of my tables have widths greater than 255 characters (309 to be exact).
My process involves opening the text file in Excel then performing a .Copy on the Worksheet into ThisWorkbook, naming the sheet "Source". I then perform up to 66 separate parse operations on the various tables depending on which options a user selected from a form.
The problem is that I assumed that the Copy Method would simply make a duplicate of that sheet in ThisWorkbook. Instead, it seems to have truncated any columns that are longer than 255 characters, leaving me with partial data in a few tables.
My workaround was to perform a TextToColumns on the text file prior to the import such that it would simply split the data into columns that could be reassembled on the other side. In doing so, I seemed to have stripped a leading <space> from each cell which was apparently put there previously. This is causing a lot of problems for my formatting code which also uses TextToColumns to separate the tables into columns. The simplest solution seems to be trying to add the spaces back in, assuming there isn't a better way to import this data in the first place.
Just prior to copying the sheet into ThisWorkbook, I'm using the following code after the TextToColumns to add the space back in, but it's taking an awfully long time and causing a noticable time delay in processing my code and adding considerable size to the finished workbook it creates. If someone could recommend a better solution, either to the import process or to replace this God-awful loop, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
For i = 1 To 65535
wkbk.Sheets(1).Cells(i,3).Formula = " " & wkbk.Sheets(1).Cells(i,1).Value
wkbk.Sheets(1).Cells(i,4).Formula = " " & wkbk.Sheets(1).Cells(i,2).Value
wkbk.Sheets(1).Cells(i,1).Formula = wkbk.Sheets(1).Cells(i,3).Value
wkbk.Sheets(1).Cells(i,2).Formula = wkbk.Sheets(1).Cells(i,4).Value
Next i
wkbk.Sheets(1).Range("C:D").ClearContents
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Also, I don't know how long the actual file will be, so I'm almost forced to assume 65535...

in my workbook I have a list of names. Some of these names have a blank space at the end of them. How do I get rid of that blank space? Basically, it might say:
John Brown
Fred Basset
Fred Jones
Ian Smith
Ian O'Donnell
Adam Simpson
And if you put your cursor at the end of each of those names, you'll see that some have a blank space at the end, and some don't. How do I trim this blank space away from the end?

I have a column of data that should be showing as currency but will not format that way because there is a space at the end of the cents. I tried doing a CtrL+H and replace the space with nothing but the space remains.

I need to delete the first space of each cell in a column. These cells are referenced in a formula, and those cells that have a character in the first space of each cell allows the formula to work. However, most of the cells have one space before the characters begin in each cell. When I go to one of those cells and delete the empty space then the formula works for that cell. My problem is I need to reformat hundreds of cells in that column but not all. I would like to be able to highlight those that need the first space deleted and not do this one cell at a time.

I'm trying to insert a 'space' after the second character/number in a cell.
I.e 123456 should become 12 3456
I have tried =LEFT(A1,2)&" " but this just deletes all data after the space. I've also tried =MID(A1,2)&" " but this makes excel very angry.....

I am interested in some sort of macro or formula that will strip all of the characters in a cell that come after that last space. My difficulty lies in that the string isn't a constant character count nor is the string always the same.

I would like for it to say:

I often have to work in Excel-spreadsheets which provide values to me in a rather unpractical way. For some reason, every cell entry starts with a space, followed by the value. It makes it impossible to start calculating with the values right away.
I tried
replace: " " with: ""
But that way all the spaces in the sheet are removed, not just the spaces at the start of each cell. I would like to avoid that, as it makes the descriptions a bit difficult to read...
So, any ideas on how to write a little macro (or a tric in Excel itself) which I can use to quickly get rid of those spaces and start calculating?

Formula to split a cell at the first break/space and to keep the rest of the cell contents together? For example to separate addresses from the street and street name.
Eg.
A1
1111 AAAA BBB
into
B1 C1
111 AAAA BBB
I have tried to use text to columns but as the cell contains three or four words I don't want to have to rejoin cells afterwards.

I have job names that look like this sample:
83369 CMT 2x Harpers cone links
I have a formula that copies just the first five numbers to a cell: =LEFT(B3,5)+0
Result is 83369
Now I need to copy everything BUT the first five numbers to another cell so the result is: CMT 2x Harpers cone links. How do I do that?

I am trying to write a custom cell format that would allow me to replace the comma with a space after the thousand's place. Therefore, 1 million would look like: 1 000 000 instead of 1,000,000. I do NOT want to change my regional settings to accomplish this.
When I write ### ### ### it accomplishes this, however, there is one small glitch. When you apply an "underline" you get the following result:
_1
_10
_100
_1 000
_10 000
_100 000
1 000 000
10 000 000
100 000 000
The underline does not lineup evenly with the "ones" digit until we reach 1 million. I want to write a universal format in which the underline lines up evenly regardless of the number.

I am running a macro and I need to add this example of text corresponding to the #of line in the exact way, at the end of the data. I was able to do by loading an external file, however, I have to set a path to it, but only I can use it. I want to be able to give to my colllegue so she can also run the macro and have that note at the bottom on the data too.
The total should be in 12 row as per the example...

I am not sure if this is possible, but worth a shot. I am using a countif function to count a cells and I want it to count only if it has text, followed by a space then more text. I've been able to count the text only followed by a space, but cant figure in the more text part.

I have a couple of active x text boxes that I am using in a user form to enter data to a sheet. I wasn't able to get the text to move to the next line, but I changed the Multiline and EnterKeyBehavior to True and now when I hit enter it is working how I want it to. But when I click ok on my user form it is putting the data where I want it but it is putting a symbol that looks like a ? with a border around it in where I am pressing enter. Is there a way to avoid having this symbol show up?
The other question I have is if it is possible for specific text to be Bold in the text box and some not? I haven't been able to figure out a solution for that.

I basically have a five column spreadsheet containing address information. While most cells only contain one piece of information, I have quite a few cells that have multiple lines of data in them because the individual has more than one address.
Here is an example. Note that Rows 1-2 contain single address info for each individual person. However, row 3 contains an individual with 3 pieces of address information in the four right hand columns:
Row 1: Unique ID | Name | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 2: Unique ID | Name | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 3: Unique ID | Name | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
[carriage return in street address, city, state and zip cells]
--------------------------------- |Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
[carriage return in street address, city, state and zip cells]
--------------------------------- |Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 4: Unique ID | Name | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 5: Unique ID | Name | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Please note that some individuals have 2-4 different addresses.
I would like to manipulate the 5 rows of example data above so that when I am done I have the following:
1. 7 rows of data (5 individuals with 7 total addresses)
2. Automatically copy and paste the unique id number and name into the two new rows that were created so that I have the following:
Row 1: Unique ID - 001 | Joe Chang | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 2: Unique ID - 002 | Joey Chung | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 3: Unique ID - 003 | John Smith | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 4: Unique ID - 003 | John Smith | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 5: Unique ID - 003 | John Smith | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 6: Unique ID - 004 | Jane Derry | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code
Row 7: Unique ID - 005 | Julie March | Street Address | City | State | Zip Code

I've been looking on the forum for hours, but couldn't find exactly what I need.
I have a textbox that the user enters muliple lines of text. I, then, copy the text to a sheet. The problem I'm having is the pasted text is all in one cell. I would like each line to be in a different cell.
My textbox has multiline = true, wordwrap = true, EnterKeyBehavior = true.

I have Useform1 & Textbox1 & Textbox2 & CommandButton1
*Textbox1 = Identifier where to put the "X" mark when data is found
*TextBox2 = The User Data 'It is a multiline textbox
*CommandButton1 = Execute the macro
*Excel Column "B3" = Where the textbox2 data will be compared. this one has default data.
*Excel Row 2 = the identifier where to put the "X" mark when the data is found.
The user will enter data in textbox2, For each TextBox2 Value it will be compared in the Data in Column B3 only If the Textbox1 Value found in Row2 which has the codes. Then when the Value is found. it will mark with "X" in the column where the TextBox1 value found. see my screenshot.
