Change VBA Text To Read As A Number
Jan 10, 2008The code below is for a Userform to allow data to be entered into a form and than placed into a worksheet. Also this code allows me to edit the existing data in the worksheet and than place the data back into the worksheet when down editing.
The problem is some of the data in my userform are numbers and the userform is reading it as text. When I enter numbers into the userform and than place it into the worksheet, how can I change the code so that the userforms to recongnize numbers not a text?
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
With ActiveCell
If .Value = vbNullString Then
With .Parent
Set myCells = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
End With
Else
Set myCells = ActiveCell.EntireRow.Range("A1")
End If
Set myCells = myCells.Resize(1, 28)
End With
Call FromSheetToUserform
Me.txtTYPE.SetFocus
End Sub
Sub FromSheetToUserform()
Dim myData As Variant
myData = Application.Transpose(Application.Transpose(myCells.Value))
If myData(1) = vbNullString Then myData(1) = Format(Date, "Medium Date")
With Me
.txtDATE.Text = CStr(myData(1))
.txtTYPE.Text = CStr(myData(2))
.txtIDENT.Text = CStr(myData(3))
.txtROUTE.Text = CStr(myData(4))
.txtTOTAL.Text = CStr(myData(5))
.txtSEL.Text = CStr(myData(6))
.txtSES.Text = CStr(myData(7))
.txtMEL.Text = CStr(myData(8))

Read Only The Number Value Of A Cell
Jun 12, 2009I am trying to get a SUM function to recognise values within a range of cells, that are immediately followed by a *. i.e. 34*
For each range i need to count the total number of inputs, count the number of starred inputs & add up all the values entered.
Currently COUNT doesn't recognise starred values, COUNTIF is set to count only starred values, and SUM wont recognise the value of the starred values.
Is there a way to only read the number element of an input - there are only integer values & starred integer values. The starred inputs are also conditionally formatted. If there is a way would it then affect the COUNT/COUNTIF element?

Left Formula Read Zero If In Front Of A Number
Jun 20, 2012reading a zero number in a cell

how to make the formula that can read the zero in Cell C1?
Read Text File Using VBA
Jan 5, 2005I know how to pull an entire text file
into an Excel Spreadsheet, but I only want specific information from
the text file not the entire text file.
What I have is about 25 text files stored in a folder, let's say
C: est.
Each file is named by a property address as follows:
209 MAIN ST.txt
213 MAIN ST.txt
111 ELM ST.txt
2356 WOOD AVE.txt
On the 11th row of each file is as follows:
Property Address:209 MAIN ST
On the 31st row of each file is as follows:
Total Value:30500
What I would like to do is read each file located in the "C: est
folder and write a record (row) into a single Excel Spreadsheet for
each property. I would like the Excel Spreadsheet to look as follows
once completed. Note the 1st row below is a header row that needs to
be generated by the code.
Property AddressTotal Value
209 MAIN ST 30500
213 MAIN ST 60700
111 ELM ST 20400
2356 WOOD AVE 20900
Can I read a header list (in a spreadsheet, text file, or hard coded in
the code) which I would prefer the spreadsheet or text file method,
write the header row in A1 then B1. Next read the 25 text files and
search based on the header info written above (Property Address & Total
Value) and write the appropriate to the single spreadsheet. The 11th
row of the First text file value written in cell A2, then read the 31st
row of the First text file write the value in cell B2, then loop to the
Second text file and values from The 11th row of the Second text file
value written in cell A3, then read the 31st row of the Second text
file write the value in cell B3, so on and so forth until the last text
file is read and the last record is written.

VBA To Read Data From A Text File

The worksheets in between and the data in it are missing. Second issue is tht, although i have written code to create a new worksheet when row number reaches 65535, the script writes only till row no. 32768.

Dec 29, 2008I need a statement to look at how many words are in a cell. If there is 4, to return "Stem" to another column, if it's the 5th word or higher then to return the last word in the string.
For Example
Column A.......................................................... .Column B
SOME-TEXT-GOES-HERE....................................../...STEM
SOME-TEXT-GOES-HERE-SOMEMORETEXT.............../...SOMEMORETEXT

I have tried but failed miserably! I though of using a lookup statement but due to the number of variations it would be quite time consuming.
VBA To Read In Delimited Text File
May 21, 2014I've a word form that collects free text and tick boxes. I'm reading these into separate rows on an excel sheets. So far what works...
I've got excel vba converting the word to a delimited text file
I've got excel vba to remove the erroneous rtns that people have entered into the free text that was things up.
In the free text there are commas entered as well as the tick boxes and this is a csv. Example
"how do I do this, I don't know",1,1,0,1,"really seems to be a challenge!"
If I just use excel to open the text file then the columns work out ok and on a single row - I think the 'text qualifier' is playing a role here.
But I can't replicate this in VBA. If I record a macro it's a query table and I don't know how to amend the code to read into rows.
Vba Cell() Text Read Limitation
Oct 20, 2006I was sure it would be in your archives but couldn't find it - apologies if this is a FAQ.
I am trying to extract the data in a spreadsheet to a bunch of files, one file per cell. The cells I need have very long text strings in them, actually whole HTML files.
Using this
Dim HTML As String
HTML = Cells(RowNdx, ColNdx).text
I can only read 1024 bytes - not nearly enough. Is there something else I can do to read the cell into a string variable?
Read Each Line Of Text File
Oct 26, 2006I'm using the following code to read a text file that I downloaded from a mainframe file.
Do While Not EOF(FileNum)
Line Input #FileNum, myLine
Debug.Print myLine
Loop
It reads and prints the first line, but then drops out of the loop. According to the help file, "Line Input" is looking for a carriage return (Chr(13)) or carriage return–linefeed (Chr(13) + Chr(10)) sequence. I have pasted a sample of the text file below. I'm not sure what the characters are at the beginning of each line, but perhaps I could find a way to replace each of them with a carriage return.

Read / Import Text File Into Worksheet
Jan 23, 2008I want to read data from Notepad into Excel. I found this code on the net and have been trying to modify it for my needs:
Sub ImportText(FileName As String)
Dim X As Long
Dim FileNum As Long
Dim TotalFile As String
Dim Lines() As String
Const DataRowStart As Long = 1
Const DataColStart As Long = 1
FileNum = FreeFile
Open "C:...data.txt" For Binary As #FileNum.................
This pastes the contents of each line into 1 cell but I want to paste each value into a seperate cell. So in the attached data.txt there are 5 records each of 2 lines. For example in the 1st record I want to paste 05-693-1900 into 1 cell then 0040 in the cell to the right of that, Town A into another cell, 000000 into another cell....and so on. For the 2nd line it should be 000000000033 into one cell, AA28816 into the adjacent cell...and each remaining number into a seperate cell. I also want to leave 3 blank lines before going to the next record.data.txt
Read/Import Text File & Remove All Chr()
Feb 1, 2008I have a comma delineated text file that is full of stock item details such as stock code, description, 3 different prices etc it is about 15 fields wide by about 400 rows down. I need to be able to import all rows but only certain columns into an excel worksheet using vba. I know I can easily just rename it to .xls or .csv or something like that but its a text file we export out of our system at work and we need to be able to give it to customers who then can import into this excel spreadsheet/calculator I am creating.

There is 400 or so rows (which represent stock items)
Now I need to copy all rows in column 1 (string 1) all rows in column 12, 13, 14, 15 (This is the only data I need from the text file in this particular spreadsheet/calculator)
I have it working fine reading the entire row in one at a time splitting it up into a string array using the Split() function and then only copies the certain array indexes i need into the worksheet here is the code for this: ...

File May Be Read-Only, Or You May Be Trying To Access A Read-Only Location
Jan 4, 2007I'm trying to open a file on a network drive...but I'm getting the following error message when it opens: "This file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding." Now, the file itself has no rights restrictions and is not read only. It doesn't appear to be locked.
Now, there are other Excel files in the same directory which I could open fine; however, the Excel documents having the above problem all have a little black icon "appears to be a padlock" (image attached) at the bottom left hand side of the Excel file icon. I tried the following:
- Renaming
- Converting to a different file format (didn't work, it won't let me)
- Opening in notepad...etc doesn't work.
This file is dated back in 2004...do you think it's corrupt? Is there anything i can do to open or recover this?
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.

Formula To Rank Text Objects Based On Numbers, Interesting Read
Dec 30, 2008I'm attempting to create a formula that will find the name associated with a value, and return that name on the same column as that value in a later equation.
OK OK to illustrate it a little better:
There are three people: Bill, Ted, and Andy. Each one is ranked in Points, so my table looks like this:
A B
1 Bill 10
2 Ted 20
3 Andy 30
Later on, I want to rank the individuals based on their score, using a formula. Right now, I can rank the scores based using LARGE(B1:B3,1), then LARGE(B1:B3,2), and lastly LARGE(B1:B3,3). That ranks the numbers in descending columns. However, I want the information to automatically populate the name associated with that particular point total. So, I want the system to know that B1 is Bill's score, and rank it, in descending order, later on in the spreadsheet, with Bill's name.
VBA To Read Text Formula And Related Constants And Insert As Formula Into Cell
Jul 30, 2014I have a situation where I have to curve fit data, this can lead to different formulas being used with varying constants.
Is it possible to pickup a TEXT based formula and related constants from other cells, and then place this into another cell as a functioning formula. For Example
Cell A1 contains the formula as a text string whether it be y=a+bx+cx^2, or y=a+b/x, etc
Cells A2:A6 contain the individual constants, a, b, c, etc
I would then want the VBA to read the text based formula and put it into an output cell as a functioning excel formulae.g
In cell B10: =a+b*A10+c*A10^2
I understand picking the constants up and putting the formula should not be too much of an issue, however trying to insert the variable form of the curve fit is the part that I am struggling with, and am unsure if possible.
