Replaced the period with a colon, 8.23 resulted in 8:23. I have since deleted the Add In. Now every time I enter a "." it is replaced by a ":". This happens even when I disable macros on the spreadsheet. I cannot see any VBA code.
View 2 RepliesI found the following formula on another site that deletes all the text before the last colon (it deletes the colon as well)
=TRIM(RIGHT(M2,LEN(M2)-SEARCH("@#",SUBSTITUTE(M2,":","@#",LEN(M2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(M2,":",""))))))
Is it possible to modify it so that it only triggers if there is nothing after the last colon?
As you can see in the example below I have some notes entered by users and I would like to delete the ones where they didn't actually enter a note after the last colon:

11/14/2012 13:42:07 ACT MIKE : cld poe spk to cust sd cm back at 330
I would like to be left with just this instead:
11/05/2012 13:19:53 NEW MIKE : cld poe male sd cu not in till 3pm
10/18/2012 08:03:55 NEW HOSSEN : called no answer

I am writing some VB code to change a comma separated text to individual columns
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("O14"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, _

"*", FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 1), Array(3, 1), Array(4, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
When I run the macro, it asks me if I want to replace the contents of the destination cells. How do I get rid of this prompt? I have tried to clear the contents of the cells prior to running the macro, and have also coded:
Application.AlertBeforeOverwriting = False
but, it still prompts me.
Using an excel file sent to me to fill out. File is 97-2003. When I type in text it shows up in the cell. However when I click to another cell the text in the previous cell turns to ########.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a "data" sheet that holds information on it and another sheet that has a printable form that uses formulas to extract and calculate the info based on what is entered into the user form. The issue I have having is in a certain number of cells, the formula is being replaced with the result. There are other cells that have the exact same formula and are fine. I can’t figure out why these certain cells are doing this.
There are no control sources overriding the data and I can’t see anything in the code that relates to these cells?
How I might be able to streamline the following formula so that the #N/A is omitted (replaced with a blank cell) but there isn't quite as much of a time lag?
-->
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(D3,'C:Documents and SettingsMeDesktopQuick Computer Jump Spreadsheet[Quick Computer Jump.xls]PCs'!$F$12:$P$234,11,FALSE)),"",(VLOOKUP(D3,'C:Documents and SettingsMeDesktopQuick Computer Jump Spreadsheet[Quick Computer Jump.xls]PCs'!$F$12:$P$234,11,FALSE)))
-->
Here is the background information for what I am looking to achieve:
I have two spreadsheets I am working with. The first spreadsheet, the "What Computer has User Logged Onto Log" spreadhseet, dynamically imputs and displays data from the log file of a logon script: the date (column B), time (column C), computer name (column D), username (column E) and IP address (column F). The second spreadsheet, the "Quick Computer Jump Spreadsheet", has many pieces of information (including the computer name (column F) and computer description/room number (column P) -- which are the two important pieces of information there).
Yesterday I found a tip that allows for VLOOKUP via two different spreadsheets. Specifically to have the computer description/room number column (P) information from the "Quick Computer Jump Spreadsheet" filled in as column G in the "What Computer has User Logged Onto Log" spreadsheet. It was this formula here: =VLOOKUP(D3,'C:Documents and SettingsMeDesktopQuick Computer Jump Spreadsheet[Quick Computer Jump.xls]PCs'!$F$12:$P$234,11,FALSE)
This was great because it meant not having to copy and paste the computer description and room number information into the spreadsheet I want to apply the VLOOKUP to and means I don't have to maintain and update the computer description and room number information in multiple locations, whenever that information changes. This formula worked beautifully, seems to be every bit as quick (with no visible lag) as when calling for the information from inside the same spreadsheet. In the case of dynamic data I could even use the Fill Formula all the way down to the bottom of the spreadsheet so that as other fields were filled, so was the computer description and room column. In short, it pretty much did everything I wanted it to
The next challenge I set for myself then was to see if I could get rid of the annoying #N/A when data wasn't found by the VLOOKUP function. Especially in those cases where I filled down below the last row in my spreadsheet in order to have the computer description/room number information automatically filled in as the other columns (A-F) are filled in.
I did some additional research and found this tip (here: http://www.mrexcel.com/archive2/47600/55248.htm). Using this information I was able to revise my original formula so that it now looks like this:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(D3,'C:Documents and SettingsMeDesktopQuick Computer Jump Spreadsheet[Quick Computer Jump.xls]PCs'!$F$12:$P$234,11,FALSE)),"",(VLOOKUP(D3,'C:Documents and SettingsMeDesktopQuick Computer Jump Spreadsheet[Quick Computer Jump.xls]PCs'!$F$12:$P$234,11,FALSE)))
This works but is unfortunately much slower than the first (I presume because of the double VLOOKUP required in order to compare and then execute?). Up to 30 to 45 second delays when the "What Computer has User Logged Onto Log" spreadsheet is refreshed.
I found the webpage info, here: http://www.mrexcel.com/td0110.html that had the following alternative ways to write the above formula that don't require the double lookup, thus making them much faster and more efficient to use. The problem here is the examples given are for absolute searches instead of non-absolute like my formula above and I have been unable to figure out how (or if) I can adapt any of these solutions to my own.
Does anybody know of any other way I might be able to write my formula above, to receive the same result, without having to do the double lookup, and thus decreasing the 30-45 second delay every time the spreadsheet goes out to update the computer description and room number information?
I have a master workbook (that I will call 'A') with a number of links to other workbooks ('B' to 'Z'). 'A' is designed to collate and display the data held in workbooks 'B' to 'Z'. The links all work fine until the 'B' to 'Z' workbooks are updated with new data, at which point, the links break with a "Error: source not found" error.
This is caused by the process by which we update the 'B' to 'Z' workbooks. We have to delete them, and replace them with new files, that have the same name.
Is there any VBA code or something that I could run that will update the links to pick up the new files?
I am a basic excel user and what I want is to be able to add in a time and have the colon automatically entered for me. For example, I want to add 130 and have it come out to 1:30, or 1215 and have it come out to 12:15. Seems easy to me but I cannot figure it out.
I need to find a way to enter times into excel without having to use a colon.
The data I need in the cell is the hour, the minute, and either AM or PM. No seconds, which I believe is why Chip Pearson’s time VBA procedure doesn’t work for me, and I don’t know enough about VBA to change it for my needs.
So for example, I need to enter in times like 10:09 PM or 12:40 AM or 2:33 AM.
All my times will be entered into Column D.
I have done a ton of searching and tried several different solutions, but none of them allow me to put in AM or PM. If I just put 1009 into a cell with Chip Pearson’s macro, it will display as 10:09 AM, which is great if I need it to be AM. But if I need it to be PM, and I enter in “1009 p”, it will display as “1009 p”, neglecting the colon and not displaying the time correctly.
Does anyone have a solution where I can type in a 3 or 4 digit number (233 or 1240) and either “a” or “p” after it, and have it display as 2:33 PM or 12:40 AM?
I use Excel 2007, if it matters.
I downloaded some data from an extarnal source to excel... the texts I get appear as 'TEXT' (mind the colons at start and end of TEXT).
However, in some of the cells the Start Colon is visible and in some cells it isn't (although it's there and can be viewed in the formula bar).
I want the start colon to be visible.
I am making a template for our security kiosk log and I wanted to simplify it as much as possible. I found the "time mask entry" and imputed that into the vba code. It was working for awhile however stopped working a few days ago. I went back and copied and pasted it again and changed the range to what I needed and an error came up stating "unable to set the NumberFormat property to the range class."
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim vVal
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A100")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
With Target
vVal = Format(.Value, "0000")
If IsNumeric(vVal) And Len(vVal) = 4 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
.Value = Left(vVal, 2) & ":" & Right(vVal, 2)
.NumberFormat = "[h]:mm"
End If
End With
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
I have been using the following formula's to trim some information that's separated by a colon, such as Pioneer Clinic:Dave McAfee...so that I have a column with Pioneer Clinic and a column with Dave McAfee:
=LEFT(G5,FIND(":",G5)-1)
=TRIM(RIGHT(G5,LEN(G5)-FIND(":",G5)))
However, now some of my data is separated by two colons! AVM:Pioneer Clinic:Dave McAfee. the formula for separating this so I still have two columns of Pioneer Clinic and Dave McAfee?

for instance if i enter to one of the cell 45:58 excel sees it as 01/01/1900 21:48:00 when i try to get the information by using a function i will get the wrong data for example typing in the different cell LEFT(Cell,5) will result 1.908
(i receiving the data from an outside source in this way and i need to make analysis)
i have noticed that the first 2 digits (21 in the example) are related to the number i have choosen in a 24 hour cycle for instance
24:58 will result 01/01/1900 00:58:00
