Nested IF Or Range: Only Picks Up On The First Two Characters
Sep 11, 2009
I'm having difficulty creating a nested "if" or range formula that basically only reads the first two characters of the data in a given cell. See attached spreadsheet.
In column "A" I have listed the product ID. If the product ID has the first 2 characters 'DV' then it should yield the result of Dryer. The main issue is creating a formula that only picks up on the first two characters.
picks up the drifferences between low and high numbers for example 1-10 is low 11-29 high and 0 is a alternate so say i start typing in 1,2,3,11,15 in the top cell they start decending down the rows automtically and the program has 2 boxs indicating 3 lows and 2 highs and wen i type in a 0 it resets the two boxs to 0
I have been working on a spreadsheet with 3 sheets and have done everything except the last function which I just can't work out. Data is entered on the first sheet in a list with an item number, description, dates etc and then finally, if they are a certain type of item, a variation, a 'variation number' in a column.
The next sheet is then called 'variations' and here starts my problem. I want to have a formula that picks up if a variation number has been entered on sheet one in the 'variation number' column and if so, add that item into this sheet, in order.
So to summarise, I need sheet 2 to search on sheet 1 in a specific column for numbers 1-30(ish) for a series of items. I then need sheet 2 to list each of these in order, copying over each item that goes with the number from sheet 1 in the same format.
At the moment all our work is logged by codes eg. A1Misc, B5Change, N9Important. As well as the codes, we enter the date in the column next to the code along with another Column to show the amount.
I need a Macro to look at the date column and only take dates which have Sept then go to the column next to it and pick up the codes individually and sum up all the amounts for the codes.
I have attached an example which shows from A13 downwards what I need the macro to show when finished.
The thing is that i have alot of sheets (more than 20) and my program picks 2 values from the same cell locations on each sheet. This leeds to more than 30 arguments in my formula. I am gonna use this for alot of excelfiles constructed in the same way, but with varying order and names on the sheets.
I have a group of validation list boxes, all with the same choices, that when a user selects a certain item from them I want a popup box with extra info in it to appear. Is it possible for the user to click on the popup box once to make it disappear again?
I am getting the correct answer for the first one only...all others are coming back incorrect. I have been working on this one problem for over 3 hours.
I have the following code that I am trying to distribute over an array. The best case scenario is that the code enters the text of the formula instead of the calculated value. When I tried to tweak a few things I couldn't even get the text to show up. This seems to only happen on the formulas which include If_Then statements. Other straight forward formulas such as "sum" etc... seem to go into place and calculate.
I have a Userform which has 2 textboxes. User enter his employee id on textbox1 then enters a valid break time code which are 1,2 and 3 on textbox2. If User typed 1 then first breaktime start time will be pasted on the worksheet. When User returns after break he then enters his employee id again and then type 1 to end his first breaktime, the end time will be pasted on the worksheet. My program works fine however, I am trying to place a code which will prompt the user to end his first break time before entering another valid break code. Kindly check my code below as I am receiving an error message. 'Run-time error 9' Subscript out of range. This thing is driving me nuts. Any advise or can you tweak my coding vba experts.
I'm trying to create a nested IFs statement that looks at a range of cells between 2 tabs within the same worksheet, determines if there is a value of 1 in ANY of those cells, and if there is, to multiply the value of yet another cell by 1 in a cell on the second tab. So, if 1 is a value in any cell of Tab 1 cells C82 to C86, then in Tab 2 cell B21, multiply 1 by the value in 'Tab 1 Cell H5'.
I'm trying to do a quick find and replace across a range of cells to remove Chr(10) and Chr(13) characters. For some strange reason, some of the cells are being good and duly allow the removal of said characters and some are not - they stubbornly refuse to remove with no error message. The ones that are not allow removal if I copy the individual cell to a new sheet.
Sub removeCharNew() 'Dim x As Integer Cells(1, 1).Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select Cells.Replace Chr(10), "" Cells.Replace Chr(13), "" End Sub
I need to do a sumif range A:A does not contain 484- as the first four characters of the cell. The 484- is not the only part of the cell containing that text. How would I do this? Ex:
A 16-1700.049820-F704264.59484-0068400F704264.59484-0101928264.5916-525129.00
Basically, looking at the range E6:L19 I need to ensure that any data that is entered into any of these cells ends in either H or W, and if it doesn't flags up a warning message (which I am hoping to link in with the Worksheet_SelectionChange event)
I'm managing it for one cell, but not a whole range.
I have some code that sets named ranges based on sheet names defined by the user.
Issue is, sheet names allow characters that range names do no (i.e. #, - etc).
Is there a relatively simple way to clean a sheet name to allow it to be used as a range name.
Code example below. I am using Replace, but unsure how many characters are invalid. Unfortunately I am referencing a third party workbook, so no control over sheet names.
Sub test()
Dim sh As Worksheet, shnm As String, wb As Workbook Set wb = ThisWorkbook
I'm trying to figure out why i'm getting this error: "Object variable or With block variable not set" for this
Sub Macro3() Dim cel As Range Dim str1 As String Dim SearchThing As Range Set SearchThing = ActiveSheet.Range("I34") str1 = Left(SearchThing.Value, Len(SearchThing) - 4) cel.Value = str1 End Sub
I have a column of data; for each line of data I have something like ABCDEEast Anglia, ABCDFFarnborough. The text at the start is standard and all cases of East Anglia will have ABCDE prior to the East Anglia. Is there an easy way [aside from replacing] to loop through 1000 data points and replace the long method with a shorter concise version (i.e. East Anglia only). I have attached what I mean
The following code works fine to determine if a particular character occurs within the selected range of cells:
Code: Sub CheckIfCharacterIncluded() For Each MyCell In Selection If InStr(MyCell.Formula, "#") Then MsgBox ("The " & "#" & " character was found in cell: " & MyCell.Address & " at position " & InStr(MyCell.Formula, "#")) End If Next End Sub
However, I would like to extend this functionality to check for multiple characters, using some sort of array that contains all the characters I want to check for e.g. "#","*","£" and so on, without having to repeat the above code for each character for which I need to check.
I have a column of values of peoples initials and I want to cound how many times one persons initials occur in those cells. I can do this if the cells just contain one person i.e. "CH" or "DH" but if the cell has two or more peoples initials i.e. "CD DH" I can't do it as it only matches the exact search criteria.
How can I total the numebr of times a required set of initials appears in a specific column of cells? Not bothered is it requires a macro or a formulae, just can't seem to figure this one out.
Initially I'm simply copying a data table from a web page using "Ctrl + A" then "Ctrl + C", and then pasting the data straight onto a new worksheet so I can work with it. (After temporarily re-naming the old sheet)
But I keep finding what looks like double-spaces after some of the important text within the Range of cells I'm working with. I need to be able to select & conditional format the values of the text in some columns of the sheet, so need to loose these trailing spaces.
Unfortunately, it's not consistence as to how many spaces trail the text I need. Sometimes it's only one space, sometimes its two spaces ?
So far, I've had mixed success with a recorded "Replace" code but none of the other codes I have found on forum pages either don't work all or seem to give any consistent results. E;g; TRIM, CLEAN
I suspect my problem is, I do not know how to call the code properly, or trying to work with too large a range ?
I am aware that special characters such as -,(,),[,] are not permitted in named ranges (for lists), but is there a workaround for this? I have a lot of dependent lists that need to access names that contain either a - or () or both. I could simply remove the -'s or ()'s using find/replace, but they are required, as they're part of the name. I am aware of this method http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html#Illegal but I have a lot of dependent lists across a sheet, and a VLOOKUP isn't going to work. If there isn't a workaround, are there any allowed characters I could use to replace the -'s and ()'s?
proposedenter is just a named range. I can see this is wrong but how do I base the count criteria on the left 7 characters of an item that is matched in the range?
Is there an Excel formula to remove the spacebar + characters in red, as shown below? I need to be left with only the last name, first name and the semicolon.
