Read The Name Of A Check Box (which Is In Text Format)
May 2, 2008
I am trying to generate a sub that read the name of a check box (which is in text format) in a spreadsheet in this case sheet13 and according to that ask if that check box which is in another sheet (sheet4) is true or false, I mean if it checked or not, then perform other actions
But I am getting this following error
Run time error ‘438’
Object doesn’t support this property or method
I tried several things but always get an error.
Does some body know how to make the checkboxname variable a valid name for the checkbox object in sheet4?
My company uses 4 types of barcodes 8, 12, 13, & 14 number barcodes for our products my problem is that I can't figure out how to force the barcode to format properly no matter how somebody enters it if they don't use spaces or put them in the wrong spots, I can't use custom formats because there is 4 different layouts
8 digit should be "#### ####" 12 digit should be "###### ######" 13 digit should be "# ###### ######" 14 digit should be "# ## ##### ######"
these barcodes are in columns L, M, & N also right now 'm using a formula in another cell to verify the barcodes by calculating the check digit and comparing it to the check digit typed the formula i'm using is
I need to get a code that will just read the text in a cell that contains text and numbers example abc123 I want it to only read the abc as the numbers can change and cant write them all into my macro all the time.
What if you have text that are hyperlinked to a txt file and you want to read from it and copy it into excel. What can I do then. Here is what I have been working on so far:
Sub GoToHyperLink() Dim cell As Range Dim link As Hyperlink Dim Textline As String
In one excel file, i have a date , and i set this to "dd/mm/yy hh::mm am/pm" format. From another file i will open this file and i need to copy that date to this file. My question is , before copying i need to check it is in the "dd/mm/yy hh::mm am/pm" format using vba.
I 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.
I have written a VBA to read data from a text file (almost 5 MB = 2 lakh rows) and write into excel file. The script runs fine and transfers all data to the excel.But when i open the resulting excel file, only the first 2 and the last worksheets are visible. 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.
I 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 SOME-TEXT-GOES-HERE-SOMEMORETEXT-AGAIN...../...AGAIN
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.
I'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.
The 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")
I 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?
I'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.
we have 2 text file one is masters and other one child. we want to read the city from child text and wants to read the country coresposding to the city from master file.
I 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
I 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.
The file looks something like this:
"String 1", ""String 2", "String 3", "String 4", ...... all the way up to 15
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: ...
I have a Text-File with characters coded in simple chinese (gb2312) rsp. codepage 20936 and I want to read this file, paste the content in my worksheet. Later (after a chinese edited the text) I've to write this back to a text file.
The only way I found to make this, is by copy/paste e.g. from WordPad, but I want to automate it with VBA.
I'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?
Check and format some data. I have 100,000+ rows so kinda need a macro to do it.
I have data like this
Sheet1 Â ABCDEFG1start_date start_time end_date end_timeTypeSOC Before SOC After 208/01/201218:36:2008/01/201218:40:00TÂ Â 308/01/201218:45:1208/01/201218:50:44TÂ Â 408/01/201218:52:1208/01/201219:50:46C3446508/01/201219:54:2708/01/201221:44:40C
[Code] .....
I'm trying to merge all the "C" rows in Column F into one row, like this:
Sheet1 Â ABCDEFG14start_date start_time end_date end_timeTypeSOC Before SOC After 1508/01/201218:36:2008/01/201218:40:00TÂ Â 1608/01/201218:45:1208/01/201218:50:44TÂ Â 1708/01/201218:52:1208/01/201223:02:00C341001809/01/201208:16:5109/01/201208:44:08TÂ Â 1909/01/201208:45:1109/01/201208:49:55TÂ Â
So you would just keep the first row,but replace the 'end date' and 'end time' with the 'end date' and 'end time' from the last row and same with the SOC.
I 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.
I'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.
I am trying to improve my expense report template and need to check on the load if expense report number has been loaded correctly as well as if this report has been previously loaded. Expense report number format looks like this: AAA-BBBBBB-CC Where:
AAA – Employee ID # BBBBBB – End of the week date
CC – Weekly expense report number For instance, 023-122008-01 means: Employee number 023, week ending date 12/20/2008, weekly expense report number 01. I would like to prevent/give warning of loading incorrect expense report number format, check for possible duplicates, and check if trying to load expense report belongs to the right person (by simply matching previously loaded in different cell of the same sheet employee ID and first three digits of just loaded expense report number. I think I know how to do all of these separate, but have no idea how to combine all three checks for one cell.
i will receive same data from two different persons in different format. By right, the data should have the same total. However, it was not.
I have attached a file that contains two worksheets with simple example to illustrate what i meant. May i know which is the effective formula to detect the mistake?
I have a worksheet that I want to format based on three different cells. I had it set up with the following:
Code: For i = 2 To LR
If Cells(i, 13).Value = "Price Mismatch" Then Cells(i, 1).EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 39
[Code] ........
Worked fine until one of the cells had an error in the result, I want to have this row colored also. I altered the first check to :
Code:
If Cells(i, 13).Value = "Price Mismatch" Or IsError(Cells(i, 13)) = "True" Then
I have tried multiple variations without success. I need to have the row colored if the value in the cell on the row in column 13 = Price Mismatch or is an error.
I have employee numbers in two ranges of cells where the employee number will have alpha and numeric (ASAZ002000). The first is a range of “target” employees we need to look at.(A4:A20). The second range will be all employees of the company that the target list needs to check in for the specific target employee(s).(G4:G25). If a “target” employee is found within the range of all (G4:G25) – highlight cell red (G4:G25). I have attached a small file that might explain it better.
I have a sheet in which some of the cells have two strings separated by a linefeed. I have come up with a cumbersome formula which will let me check if either of the two strings is a member of a list stored on another sheet. However, it fails if there is only one string in the cell, presumably as there is no linefeed for the formula to find. How can I modify the formula to cope with this situation?
There are also on occasions, three strings in the cell, but I can't seem to access the middle string with the formula. Simplified spreadsheet attached to show the problem. This must be formula-based, as we have a no VBA policy. If you think there is better way of doing this, please let me know.
In order to export an excel table into another program I first need to save the excel file as .txt. The .txt file can then be imported by the other program.
First I however need to make excel understand that the value should be a text and not a value. I therefore format the number as text (0000150235) by adding "0000150235". After saving the file as .txt the format changes from "0000150235" to """0000150235""". I do however need the format in the .txt file to be "0000150235". Can anyone tell me how I can save "0000150235" as .txt and get the value "0000150235" in the .txt file.
