Pruning Unwanted Date From A Cell

Nov 8, 2013

I work in laboratory that out puts a spreadsheet in to excel.

The sheet is of variable length and the data i am interested in is imported in 1 column the data consists of test names(separated by commas) that we have done, my problem in need to extract only certain tests.

i would like to define the required tests on another sheet and then remove the ones not in the reference table

1 SVPCR,BAL,PCP,VPCR

2 GMPCR

3 SVPCR,PUOM,VPCR

4 RATH,SVPCR,VPCR

5 RVPCR

so

row1 only want vpcr
row3 only want vpcr

i have tried substituting the unwanted for "" but the list is ever expanding and thought that a little reverse logic would work even tried text to columns but because the desireables are in different columns this makes life very hard

Conditional Formatting - Blank Cell Gets Unwanted Format.

Oct 31, 2008

As a pert of a spreadsheet I have 2 columns (M5:N400) of 400 cells deep. Each cell in these columns contains a formula that counts days, when appropriate. They can end up showing a value of blank, a number between 0 and 5, or any number greater than 5. (But very rarely greater than 30)

If the number is greater than 5 then it means that it has exceeded it's target time and I wish to highlight this with conditional formatting (CF). I have a CF on all cells in both columns that says.

If "The cell value" is "Greater than" "5"... then
format the background colour to a pale yellow.

It works, but doesn't work.

If the cell value is 0 to 5 it's unchanged. Good.
If the cell value is >5 it changes. Good.
BUT, if the cell is blank it also changes. Bad!!!

I assume it is because it is looking at the fact that there is a formula in the cell, even though the displayed value is "". So I tried a second level saying that if the cell is equal to "" then no format, but it still changes.

Hide Unwanted Columns & Clear Ranges Based On Cell Value

Sep 17, 2008

I have written a VBA procedure which is supposed to hide unneeded columns (based on the a number entered in a certain cell. This is working so far. Since I need to sum only the visible cells in a row i need to clear the contents of a range of cells if they will be hidden. Unfortunately the code i have written runs only to the ClearContents and then starts over from the beginning. If i take out the .clearcontents and put .Select for example instead, the code runs perfectly.
Here is the

Sub worksheet_calculate() 'Hide columns that are not needed

Sheet1. Unprotect

Application. ScreenUpdating = False

Dim i As Integer
Dim r As Integer
Dim s As Integer
Dim rngRange As Range

i = 2

Getting Rid Of Unwanted Data

Feb 10, 2009

Each week I import some data into my workbook (its financial-imports stock names, identiy codes and stock type). I've added a formula which calculates the credit ratings of each stock type, and then conditional formatting to highlight any credit ratings which are less than my required rating.

Further to this I need to get rid off all the rows which which have an stock type "No Asset Class". I cant use auto-filter because there are too many other stock types which I need to be included.

Unwanted Breakpoint

Feb 6, 2007

While running my program, the code is halted and my code is displayed as if I had set a breakpoint. The next line of code to execute is highlighted in yellow. However there is no maroon colored background around the code. I have no breakpoint set on this line. Is there any reason my program is behaving this way? Is there anything I can do to get rid of this bug?

Unwanted Rounding In Math

Jun 24, 2006

I have a spreadsheet acting as a check register. In looking through the over 2300 entries, I am getting "odd" rounding issues. I have attached a small piece of the worksheet to demonstrate this quirkiness. As you can see, I am adding numbers out to two decimal places (which should result in two decimal place answers). The result for 11/11/2002 has become a more complex number. And, the result for 11/14/2002 goes back to two decimal places.

I have upgraded my office suite since 2002. Could that be an issue? I prefer not to have to "force" the rounding =round(result,2) to solve the problem.

Unwanted ActiveX Warning

Jun 7, 2007

I have used the OWC.Spreadsheet 11 object in a form. But since then, I get a warning, usually when I open the spreadsheet, saying "This application is about to initialize an ActiveX Control that might be unsafe. If you trust the source of this file Select OK.etc,etc". I am using Excel 2003. Is there anyway of getting rid of this message? I am worried that users will see it, worry about using it and press cancel instead of OK at the prompt, thus rendering my form useless.

Unwanted Highlighting When Running Macro

Jan 18, 2013

I am using macros for the first time in Excel. I have a sheet that pulls from attached sheets using VLOOKUP and I added a simple worksheet change macro to auto resize the height of cells to match the information being pulled via VLOOKUP:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Rows("3:11").AutoFit
End Sub

My problem is that when the cells autofit it highlights the rows and some of the highlighting won't go away until the screen is scrolled. This is not much of a problem for me, but I do not want it to be an inconvenience to the other people who will be using this. Is there anyway to get rid of this highlighting or at least make it so that it behaves normally and all cells will unhighlight when a new cell is selected? I'm attaching a copy of the work in progress.

How To Remove Unwanted Spaces In Columns

In Column A, I have several rows of data. Some cells contain numbers and some contain text and some are blank. In Column C, I only want the numbers in Column A. I do not want the text and I cannot have any gaps in the column.

Multiple Unwanted Cells Selected

Nov 11, 2013

I'm sure you've all encountered that amazingly annoying glitch where you click on one cell and 4 or 5 others highlight with it. F8 does not do the trick to stop it. Sometimes changing the zoom will work to get it to stop, but not always (like now).

I shouldn't have to arbitrarily change the zoom on a sheet for Excel to start working properly.

Automatically Remove Unwanted Rows

Dec 13, 2007

Im not strong in excel, that why Im here. So:

I work every day with big amount of item numbers and lists in excel and I need some macro or code to automatically remove rows, containing unwanted text.

Example:

MEMORY DIMM 512MB PC3200 DDR
MEMORY DIMM 512MB PC6400 DDRII
MEMORY DRIVE FLASH USB2 2GB
MEMORY MINI SD 2GB W/ADAPTER
MEMORY SECURE DIGITAL 2GB
MEMORY DIMM 1GB PC6400 DDRII
MEMORY DRIVE FLASH USB2 1GB
MEMORY DRIVE FLASH USB2 1GB

So I paste the text from my database, and want to automatically delete rows containing DIMM string. How can I do it?

p.s. is there also a way to leave only the rows I want?

Removing Unwanted Characters & Moving Others

Jul 9, 2009

I'm needing some code that will remove an open quotation mark from the numerical value found in column A. This will be for every row with a numercal value.

example problem: "360015
example answer: 360015

All numbers will be 6 digits

And I've got another issue with numerals in column C. To the left side of the Cell there maybe a Number or Letter. To The Right side of the cell
there will be a single or double digit number. Both will be separted by some space (6-8 spaces). As in the examples below:
(again what you see on each line is in one cell in col. C.

R 59
E 6
0 4

I need the value on the left side of the cell to be moved concenate/merge with the values in column B.

There's will be approx 2000 rows that will need to be checked for this occurrance. Since there's so many rows,
I'd really would like to use VBA and not formulas to accomplish this.

Removing Unwanted Duplicate Lines

Sep 16, 2009

Hi, I have a report that has multiple lines for the same job with notes of issues and solutions. Each line has a date assosiated with it.

What I need to do is to delete all of the notes apart from the first one. I have attached a sample of the data and highlighted the rows that need to be kept.

I have left the data in it's raw form as it is not always extracted in date order.

Can anyone help me out with a Macro that will sort the data and remove all rows apart from the earliest note per job number?
