Preserve Cells Word Formatting Concatenating Text
Jun 7, 2008
I have a cell with some text in it that has formatting applied (bold in this case). I want to append some text on the end using VBA, but preserve the existing font formatting information. So say I have "one bold one" in my cell, I'm executing the following: ActiveCell.Value = ActiveCell.Value & "two"
But this wipes out the bold information. Is there any way of preserving the bold that's already in the cell. Either perhaps by copying the Characters object and reapplying it, or by some other method?

I have programmed a button that allows the user to import XML data into my workbook via the following
Sub Button5_Click()
FileToOpen = Application. GetOpenFilename("XML files (*.xml), *.xml")
If FileToOpen <> False Then
ActiveWorkbook.XmlMaps("RouteDoc_Map").Import (FileToOpen)
End If
End Sub
All my XML data comes in great to the associated mapped cells (on several worksheets) but the data that is coming in as a list erases the alternating white/gray conditional formating that I've applied via FORMULA IS =MOD(ROW(),2). How would I be able to preserve the alternating white/gray conditional formating, no matter how many rows are being imported via my button ?

I am making template and trying to preserve formatting when users paste into a cell. From my research, I have found that this is impossible with simple format protection, it works to prevent changing formating, but if something is pasted (with normal paste), the format will change.
I have found a few solutions, but can't get them to work correctly
Solution A: Disable normal paste and substitute Paste Special - Values
How will this work with pasting via CTRL + V and the right click menu? I need both to function.
Solution B: Allow users to paste normally, but use a macro to copy formatting from a hidden sheet
I actually found code for this, but I couldn't figure out exactly how to impliment it. The sheet that users will be pasting into is called "Batch Summary" and I was trying to pull formatting from a sheet names "Batch Summary Format", but was getting an error.

Is it possible to preserve original text formatting when copying and pasting only part of a cell. Like, for example, a cell may contain ten words one of which is in red and underlined. How do you copy that one word and paste it in another cell so that it remains in red and underlined?

have come across the apparent inflexibility of a pivot chart retaining its user defined formatting whenever it is refreshed.
I understand I can save my chosen formatting as a 'user defined' custom chart, which can be applied post-refresh, but was wondering if a simple bit of code would do this automatically, saving the additional clicks!
how to deal with the attached. How could I adapt the code to call in other 'user defined' charts I may create in the future?

With ADO (ADODB.Connection), is there a way to preserve the cell formatting on the worksheet that the recordset data is copied to? Right now, if I format a Cell's font and font-size, then run the Macro to refresh the data, the formatting is gone and it's back to default formatting.

I'm having a devil of a time trying to preserve the formatting on a pivot table that I made in Excel 2003. As near as I can tell, I've done the appropriate things --- check the preserve formatting box, uncheck autoformat --- but my formatting is not preserved when I pivot.
Adding to the mystery is the fact that some formatting is preserved but not all. I'm guessing either I'm missing something obvious or this is just an unruly, rogue pivot table that refuses to be formatted.

This should be easy, I have a column of First Names, a column of second names and I wish to create a new column with First Name , space, Last name.
I can create a cell specific code such as
= CONCATENATE(B2," ",C2)
However I want to make this into a macro to run on any file that I open for every entry in the columns (I export a file weekly and need to run it each time).
My macro and VBA skills are very basic!

I've got a workbook with several sheets, Sheet_1, Sheet_2, Sheet_3 and so on.
Each worksheet has various estimates in them and cell B61 contains a sum
I also have a summary worksheet that contains the sums from each worksheet like so:
Sheet_Name
Sum
Sheet_1
Sheet_1!B61
Sheet_2
Sheet_2!B61
Sheet_3
Sheet_3!B61
In the sum column, isntead of having to manually type in Sheet_1, Sheet_2 and Sheet_3, I'd like to use the value listed in the Sheet_Name column
I've tried concatenating the value in the sheet_name column with !B61 but instead it uses the text value Sheet_1 and doesn't go to the actual sheet.
Is there a clever formula I can try in the sum column?

I need to concatenate some standard text with some cell references but I can't use quotation marks as I would in the normal excel function as it produces an "expected end of statement" error message.
Is there a way around this?
What I want to say is:
Range(B23).FormulaR1C1 = "CONCATENATE(“With ”, Info!C18), “ entries, your expected rate is: ”, H21)"

I would like to do a text split for the name only in cells where contains the word "Name". For example: Name A&A Enterprize
Text split function for it is =MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,255)
so it only recognizes A&A Enterprize.
How would I add an IF, Then function (If the any cell contains the word Name, apply the text split function, for cells don't have the word Name, just leave it blank) if i have to do this for a large data file so i dont have to copy this function for every cell that contains the word Name.

I have 1 work book with 2 work sheets. I need the data from 1 cell on the first sheet to be merged with a cell on the second sheet, ( I could also do with this having a line being inserted) can this be done in the same cell or does the merge command only work into a new cell?

I am trying to search text cells to return a word count within a particular row of cells and I am currently using the following formula:
=COUNTIF($D4669:$EI4669,$O$3), where cell o3 contains the word to search and $D4669:$EI4669 the data.
However, this formula misses data that contains characters such as "," etc.

worksheet has about 50000 rows
in col1 there is a single letter, either A or P
in col2 there is an ID number with duplicates
so looks like
A 233
P 250
A 250
P 250
A 300
P 300
etc
I would like a method to concatenate the strings in col1 and place the result in col3 at the top of the list of duplicates so result would be
A 233 A
P 250 PAP
A 250
P 250
A 300 AP
P 300

I have a simple excel sheet with columns A (name1) B (name2) C (name3) D (name4) E (name5) F (text). A given name can only appear once in any given row.
I am looking for a vba code (Excel 2003) that would loop through cells in A1:E?? (number of rows varies, loop needs to find last non-empty row in column A) and look for a particular name (e.g. "Stefan Thomas"):
1) create new unnamed word doc
2) Put "New Annex" as a header (top right) in the new word doc
3) Insert text "List for Stefan Thomas" centered and underlined as the first line of the new word doc. The document will have two sections:
4) Insert text "Items in Column A" bolded and aligned to the left
5) Insert text "Items in Column B to E" bolded and aligned to the left below the section in 4
6) if "Stefan Thomas" is in column A, copy text in column F and paste in word doc as first bullet (below title "Items in Column A")
7) repeat step 6 for all other instances of "Stefan Thomas" in column A (append text as next bullet in section "Items in Column A")
8) If "Stefan Thomas" is in column B or C or D or E (can only appear once per row), copy text in column F and paste in word doc as first bullet (below title "Items in Column B to E")
9) repeat step 8 for all other instances of "Stefan Thomas" in column B or C or D or E (append text as next bullet in section "Items in Column B to E")
if you could indicate in the code how I can choose the type of bullet as well as space between bullets and font type

Let me start by stating that I am a novice at writing macro script. I am trying to write a script that will open and search a Word doc, find specific text in that document, and populate certain excel cells with that information.
Ex. of Word doc:
5.1.2.3 Install gasket [12], using bolt [5] and nut [8].
5.1.2.4 Uninstall gasket [12] and scrap gasket and fasteners.
I would like the script to search for and populate any number between the [ ] into a specific excel cell, also I would like it to identify and populate an excell cell with the associated step, e.g.: "5.1.2.3", which will be at the begining of that step (step could be several sentences long). Also, I would like the script to look for and identify/populate an excel cell with any number of words such as: "install", "uninstall", "break", "scrap", or "remove" also associated with that step.

I am trying to use conditional formatting to find cells that have the word "managment" in the text. The problem I am having is that the cells may contain a paragraph and the word may be embedded in the paragraph. I need to either high the word or the paragraph. I can get it to work if only the word "management" is in the cell but not when I add other words to it. I have tried using *management* but this didn't work.

I am trying to create a destination cell by concatenating several cells and text together. A1 = Folder Name, B1 = File Name, C1 = Tab and Cell. In D1, I am creating a formula that concatenates all the cells to create a destination. This obviously doesn't work so I run a macro to copy, paste special values which displays this in E1, ='FolderName[File Name]Tab'!Cell. The pasted formula works but only after you click on the cell and hit the enter key. Is there a better way to do this?

I'm using excel 2008 for mac. I've got a spreadsheet with around 4000 rows. The data is organized like this:
|___________URL_________|______EMAIL______|
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
What I'm trying to do is concatenate all of the URLs into one cell so that each email address has only 1 single row with many URLs associated with it. I tried using VLOOKUP(B1, $A$1:$B$4000, 1, FALSE) but this didn't work. I thought it was a long shot anyway. I also tried writing a bash script do parse a csv with this data and create a csv file with the URLs concatenated with no luck. I'm trying to get my data to look like this:
|___________URL_________|______EMAIL______|
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
|Example Domain
Where these are 2 adjacent cells.
EDIT: The format didn't turn out like I'd hoped. In the first example, each URL has an associated email address, each in its own row. In the second, it is just one row, with multiple urls in the first cell and an email address in the second cell.

if it is possible to concatenate multiple cells that have different font formats? For example; cell A1 is font formatted SYMBOL and contains the letter "D", cell B1 is font formatted ARIEL and contains the word "delta". What I am trying to do is concatenate the two cells while maintaining their font formats.

I'm trying to sum up a column of cells which have both text with and without strikethrough formatting. I've looked around and got some VB codes but it doesn't work for me.
I still get the annoying #NAME? error. It did work initially but after moving the file to another computer it just became #NAME? again.
