Converting Decimal Numbers To Text With Dot Numbers
May 27, 2006we work with both Lotus 123 and Excel 2003. Lotus will be gone next year, but for now, the official mean to publish our reports is Lotus. With my work, I copy/paste a Lotus page to Excel. I use the following macro to convert Lotus format numbers (which Excel considers as text) to real numbers:
Sub ForceToNumber()
Dim wSheet As Worksheet
For Each wSheet In Worksheets
With wSheet
. Range("IV65536") = vbNullString
.Range("IV65536").Copy
.UsedRange.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, xlPasteSpecialOperationAdd
End With
Next wSheet
End Sub
Source : http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthre...087#post184087. The problem is that I need to send back this data in Lotus. Excel considers decimal numbers with a coma as real numbers and numbers with a dot as a text. This previous macro fixes that. However, Lotus works the other way. Only numbers with a dot are considered real numbers. So I would need to find a way to code a macro that converts any numbers in the Excel sheet to a number with a dot. It's a bit like doing the opposite operation.
Forcing Decimal Places (wanting NUMBERS Not TEXT)
Jun 4, 2008I am wondering if there is any way to "force" a number to have three decimal places instead of two and still have that number valued as a number for use in formulas later (like AVERAGE, etc.).
What I have is a combination of HLOOKUPs, IF statements, and Conditional Formatting.
I have a Master Grades sheet and individual Class sheets. I use an HLOOKUP, matching a Student Number in both sheets, and looking in the Class sheet for the P/F indicator. If the indicator is a F, the HLOOKUP is to return the Final Grade from the Class sheet and input that into the Master Grades sheet, forced to three decimal places (whereas the numbers in the Class sheets are at two decimal places) If the indicator is P, the HLOOKUP simply returns the Final Grade from the Class sheet and inputs it into the Master Grades sheet with two decimal places.
I have the failure grades forced to three decimal places so that the Conditional Formatting in the Master Grades sheet highlights the failed grades for teachers and anyone else can see right away that a student failed, but the number still allows the Master Grades sheet to calculate the overall AVERAGE for the student as well as the AVERAGE for that class.
If any of this is not quite clear, please ask and I can further expand on what I am doing.
Here is the code I have right now that is not working correctly (and I know why it's not): ....

Parse Through A Column Of Numbers And Find A Repeating Pattern

Loop And Parse All Occurrences Of Text After Text In A String
Nov 29, 2011I am working on modifying this code (below) that I found here: VB Macro to search webpage for text string
Code:
Option Explicit
Public stResultstr As String
Sub SearchForString()
Dim rngURL As Range
Dim cll As Range
Dim stCheck As String
Dim xmlHttp As Object
[Code]...
So right now I have the script prompt you for a URL range, then it asks you for what you want to search for, and I have it set to return the next 10 characters from that found point.
You can see here:
Code:
If InStr(1, stResult, stCheck, vbBinaryCompare) > intt Then
intt = InStr(1, stResult, stCheck, vbBinaryCompare) + Len(stCheck)
I began to create something to identify the last position of the found item because next I want to loop it to find the next occurance of the same thing and return the next 10 characters after it in the next cell to the right in that same row:
Code:
cll.Offset(, 1).Value = stResultstr
Again, what I want to do here is find and parse out every occurence of a string (inputbox) found on a web page url in column A. The parse occurrences will go to the right in cells C though ? for row N.

Parse Text String
Mar 3, 2007I need to parse text strings and format them.
The string looks like this and runs down an unknown number of rows in one column, Col A.
+000800-000900+00123456-000800+0012345650+000700
I want to parse this so that the results will be text to columns
80.0 90.0 1234.56 80.0 1234.56 50 70.0
I want to thank BrettH for creating this VB. I want to manipulate it to read every row in Col A that has data, and then I want to parse the data as shown above. BrettH's VB works but I couldn't modify it to read all the rows that had data. I tried looping the rows using a counter loop and also a For Each loop, but could'nt get it to work.
Sub ParseInCellMath()
Dim DefaultRange As String, UserRange As Range, OrigForm As String
Dim TempForm As String, NegString As String, NegStart As Integer

Parse Various Elements From A Text To A ComboBox?
Aug 17, 2012I'm trying to populate a ComboBox or ListBox with elements parsed from a html code I've already parsed from a webpage. Explaining: I was able to extract from the webpage code the part that contains the information I want, which is:
VB:
<li><a href="/universidad/" rel="*">Universidades</a></li>
<li><a href="/universidad/duoc/" rel="28184">DuocUC</a></li>
<li><a href="/universidad/inacap/" rel="28162">INACAP</a></li>
[Code].....
Now I want to make a ComboBox containing every university as a different option and, if possible, to assign them the corresponding values shown in the code.

Collect Text & Parse Across Columns
Oct 18, 2007I was wondering how I would go about witting a vba for that can be connected to a button which would allow me to enter a row of input.
Some of these values I would like entered for example are: Quantity, Shape, Weight, length....
I would like the user to be prompted to enter these values and then have these values entered into columns, ABC... in a row on the spread sheet.
The catch is I would like this new date to be entered on one sheet via its weight (so that lightest material is on top), on another sheet in this workbook entered via its location so material in the same locations are adjacent to one another, and then finally I would like this updated onto another worksheet.
Parse Name & Number From Text String
Jan 11, 2008I receive a text file daily of between 100 to 50,000 rows. It is a combination of many smaller text files or " records". Each record contains a row containing the name and some particulars . From 1 to 5 rows below that row there may or may not be a row containing the score for that record.
Here is an example of what the rows look like;
4505329 64036593 150090 MS MARY SMITH AB Finished
CRP 3.0 SCORE: 400
From the first row I need to pull out the second string of digits (ex 64036593) and the person's name. From the second row I need to extract the score (400). I would like to copy the three pieces of information to 3 separate columns on another sheet.
Comments
1. the word "Finished" always appears at the end of the row with the name in it but it also appears at the end of every record in it's own row like this;
Finished No Note
2. the strings of digits in the first row can vary in length but there are always 3 of them and they are always seperated by spaces.
I need to extract all the names and scores and put them in a table. If a name is not followed by a score I need to put "no score".

Read And Import Multiple Text Files Into Excel And Parse Data?
Mar 27, 2014I am trying to determine a way to quickly import data from text files into Excel and place data in suitable columns (under correct headings). I am thinking I could be asked which file to read and import doing them 1 by 1, or if there is an automated way to cycle through all the files that would be more efficient (filenames are variable).
From the text files I have attached I can tell the column headers and what data should go under each. Not sure how you would describe the delimiting on these files? Are these files in a format that VBA could be used to reduce manual copy and paste approach? I have about 300 of these files I want to extract the data from.
Note: the attached files are from a public access website.

View 3 Replies View RelatedCounting Decimal Numbers
Oct 25, 2006I am trying to find a way of counting decimal numbers if, say, they begin with 3.
For example, I might have 3.33, 4.1, 3.0, 5.65, 3.8, 3.7, 3.33, etc.
I want to count anything that begins with 3 (3.33, 3.0, etc). Using the data above the answer would be 5 ...5 numbers that begin with a 3.
If this possible?
There doesn't appear to be the facility with Countif. I don't want to truncate the data (the spreadsheet already is quite extensive). I have tried using =SUMPRODUCT((Y$2:Y$170 >=3)*(Y$2:Y$170<=3.9)) but this will return an answer only when there is a complete set of data within cells within the range.
Spliting Numbers Regarding Decimal
Aug 8, 2008I would have a preliminary data, a number, on sheet1. The final data would be on sheet2.
In the case where there is a whole number as the preliminary data, the data would remain the same as the final output. (eg. 248 --> 248)
In the case where there is a number with a decimal, I need a function where it looks at the original number as two sets of WHOLE numbers. (Eg. 248.30 --> 248 and 30). Where the digits to the left of the decimal remains the same and the digits to the right would be divided by x (in this case, 10). The final output would be 2483 (where 248 is the same and the 30 is divided by 10.
Since I am using an older version of excel, I cannot use quotient. I know that I would be using the vlookup function and perhaps an if function. however, I do not know how to separate the numbers in regards to the decimal.
Convertering All Numbers To Decimal
Feb 16, 2007My coworker's excel program is converting all data to decimals. He enters in 2004 as a date and it makes it 2.004. I opened the same file on my computer and it works fine. I have done all fo the formatting to try and make it a number or a general field. The general field is not showing a preview as if there is some error overriding the whole program. He has some other numbers that he has already entered as currency and they work fine. I was able to do a =2004 and it showed as 2004 of course.

Apr 29, 2007when I tried to input numbers into an Excel spreadsheet (Excel 2003) the numbers were entered as decimals. Example: I type in 235 with NO decimal point, Excel enters it as 2.35, even when starting from scratch, using a new sheet or new workbook. I tried using format cell from the menu bar to choose "general" then as "number". Nothing changed. I also tried to set the decimal places at "0" using the number format. All that did was truncate the number to 2 with the .35 not being displayed in the cell. It IS displayed in the formula window as 2.35... but not as I entered it... 235. This happens no matter whether or not it's a brand new blank workbook or worksheet
