Removing Blank Lines From String

Feb 17, 2010

I have a texfile that populates a textbox on a userform. I would like to remove all blank lines in the string including those at the end if they exist, before populating the textbox. I'm reading the entire file at once into the string, not line by line.

Is there any way to edit the string called Text to remove the blank lines before populating the textbox? I'm looking for 2 carriage return characters in a row, and if so then remove one of them, but I don't know how to code that. This is in the userform activate section. If I read the textfile line by line, I don't know how to populate the textbox that way and remove the blank lines.

Removing Lines That Contain Certain Letter

Jul 25, 2014

I would like to add a piece to a macro that would delete lines that contain, in the column A, the letter A with a hyphen and a random number. Column A contains different information...I just want to delete the ones with "A-" followed by a number. Should I be able to use "A-*" in the formula?

Here is what I'm trying thus far...

Code:
For K = n To 2 Step -1
If Cells(K, 1).Value = "A-*" Then Cells(K, 1).EntireRow.Delete
Next K
Dim L As Integer, p As Double
p = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

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?

For Each Unique Value In Col A+B, Removing Lines Based On Column C

Jan 21, 2010

For each unique value of Order Number [col A] + Line Number [col B], I need a program which will locate the first instance of Next Stat [col D] = 530 and the first instance of col D = 540, deleting the other lines. The output will have two lines remaining for each unique col A+B combination, one where col D = 530 and another = 540. The data will always be sorted in date/time order prior to running this program. The actual data set has a varying number of lines, usually 1000+.

Excel 2013 :: Merging Selected Lines In Worksheet To One Line - Removing Dupes?

Aug 12, 2014

I merged about 15 adresslists from media contacts to one excel list. Each list had a name i.e. music, health, theater, etc. and the same logic in colums. I added a few columns and have 1 large list now.

As some journalists write about music & health & theater, architecture, etc. they are listed up to 10 times in the new list now. But the "genres" from the original list i.e. music, health, theater, etc. are in different columns. Some of the lines have empty fields (i.e. no address or mail)

All I want to do is have one line with all the information of all 10 lines in it, merged, dupes removed:

company - firstname - lastname - Adress - Mail, etc. : genre: music - health - theater:
example.xlsx

I atteched an example of the full list and the result i want

Removing Part Of Text From A String

Feb 11, 2013

I belong to a fantasy cycling league and after every race, I copy the race results to award each rider their points for the day. The site I visit most frequently lists the riders results in this format:

1. Alberto Contador (Spa) Team Sax Bank Tinkoff 4:05:00
2. Lance Armstrong (USA) Team Livestrong etc... 4:06:00

I usually copy the results to my spreadsheet then calculate each riders points.

The'results end up looking like this in Excel:

1. Alberto Contador (Spa) Team Sax Bank Tinkoff 4:05:00
2. Lance Armstrong (USA) Team Livestrong 4:06:00

So, the data ends up in 3 cells. The position in one cell, the rider and their nationality and their team in another, and the time of arrival in another cell

Is there a way in Excel where I can get rid of or delete all the data after a rider's name?

I usually end up pasting the rider information to Word, then replacing the (***) with a tab symbol, then pasting back to Excel and get rid of the data that's after the name by deleting the cells to which that data was transferred.

Is there an easier way to do this in Excel, or a macro I can create?...

Removing A Character From A Barcode String

Sep 23, 2009

The barcode lablels all have the following format: A318639....that is a letter followed by six numbers.

When I scan the barcodes into any cell, a dollar sign "$" appears in the front of the barcode string that is entered into the cell. The dollar sign is not a relevant part of the string of characters in the barcode label.

What I am looking for is a solution where upon scanning a barcode into any cell, the dollar sign is removed from the front of my string and I am left with just the seven character string which is shown above.

I have experimented with the Data Validation tool by trying to limit the number of characters that are allowed in a cell to seven characters, but that has not actually removed any characters from my data string.

Removing Blank Cells

I have a lists of e-mail address (up to 15 rows long) in adjacent columns.

At times one or more addresses need to be removed. After removal I need the list to 'bunch up' so that the space caused by the now blank cell is removed.

At the moment I am doing this with vba as follows:

Sub Clear_Blanks()

With Range("e13:e27")
. AutoFilter
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<>"
.Copy Range("e35")
.AutoFilter
.ClearContents
End With
Range("e35:e49").Cut Range("e13")

End Sub...

Removing Dash From Text Number String?

Oct 3, 2010

We often get spreadsheets from our customer that are formatted with both comma and dash combinations. We would like to only have the comma seperation.

Example:
R1, R2, R3-R5, R30

Result:
R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R30

There is usually only one alpha character but sometimes more. Example: CR1, CR2, CR3-CR5.

The following macro works great if there are no alpha characters. how to solve the alpha/numeric combination?

Function Nums(rng As Range) As String
Dim adnum As Integer, n As Integer, num, Txt As String
num = Split(rng, ",")

Removing Seconds In Date / Time String?

Sep 26, 2013

I need a macro, if possible, to remove the seconds in a date/time string.

I can format the cells to remove the seconds, but the actual value still contains the seconds. For example:

The cell shows 9/24/2013 19:21 but the formula bar shows 9/24/2013 7:21:17 PM.

I need to remove the seconds so I can us the time in an averageifs formula as a criteria.

I would like a macro because I want to do other manipulations of the spreadsheet with the idea of importing the data at some point into a database.

If I can automate it, or at least decrease tha amount of time I use to get the data in the correct format.

Blank Lines In Listbox With RowSource

I have three listboxes and I set each of their row sources from code in UserForm_Initialize() event like so:

With Sheet1
lbxLanguages.RowSource = . Range("C2", .Range("C2").End(xlDown)).Address

When I run the form, sometimes I see data in two of the three listboxes and the third has blank/empty rows; sometimes all three listboxes have only empty rows in them (i.e. correct number of checkbox squares displayed but no data in front of the squares).

Removing Comments If Cell Value Changes To Blank

Apr 29, 2014

I have Main worksheet (sheet 9) and some codes in Sheet 10 which I use as a source for data validation in Sheet 9. So far I have a macro which looks for changes in cells and, when someone chooses a code from the list the macro adds a comment to the cell and populates it with an explanation of the code. The explanations are also in the code worksheet (Sheet 10). It works really nicely but I cannot work out how to remove the comment if the user clears the value in the cell.

My Macro thus far is:

Removing Blank Entries That Show As Zero

Aug 2, 2006

I have a workbook containing several worksheets. I use one worksheet to collate information from the others. I do this by referencing the relevant cells I need from the other worksheets with the '=' command.

When this displays it shows as a '0' if the original cell is blank. Is it possible for this to show as a blank unless there is any data. I have tried the ISERROR function but it still leaves the entry as a '0'.

Macro To Insert Blank Lines And Formula?

Jun 11, 2014

I have a worksheet that contains data arranged in fields from columns A to J. The relevant columns for the purposes of the macro are columns B (customer codes) and G (sales values). Column B may contain a single instance of a customer code, or multiple (over 50), depending on how active a customer has been. The worksheet always contains many different customer codes with varying numbers of rows for each customer, sorted by customer. What I'm trying to do is write a macro that will loop through the worksheet and insert a blank line immediately after a change in value of column B (customer code), and in this blank line, insert the customer code in column B (which comes from the cell immediately above), a sum formula for all values within a range that relate to that particular customer in column G, and an IF statement in column J that relates to the SUM formula. The loop concludes when there are no longer values in column B.

I have managed to insert blank lines on change in values in column B, but am not sure about the best approach for inserting the SUM formula or the IF statement in columns G and J respectively.

Removing Blank Spaces From The Beginning Of Cells

Jun 16, 2009

I'm compiling several old worksheets into a single database for a research study. The worksheets contain patient data. Some of the worksheets have the patient's last name, first name, and middle initial entered all in one cell like this: Smith,John R. Compounding the problem is the fact that sometimes the name is entered with a space between the comma and the first name, sometimes not.

I have formulas to break the name out into three separate columns "lName, "fName", "midInit". However, if the name in the original cell has a space between the coma and the first name, then the “fname” column will contain a blank space in front of the name. This is problem because patients names can appear in the database more than once. Some patients are in the database several times.

If patient “John R. Smith”, for example, is entered in the database as”

“Smith” “John” “R “

and also as

“Smith” “<space>John” “R”


then the database won’t recognize them as the same name when I search for John Smith’s data. Right?

If so, then I need a way to eliminate the empty spaces in front of the first names. Like I said, some have empty spaces and some don’t. I could do this by hand, but there are over 1000 entries in these worksheets.

Removing Blank Cells In A Large Matrix

Jun 12, 2009

This is my first post on this forum and I am an Excel novice. I have a worksheet with lots of blank cells and I need to shift all the cells with data all the way to the left (to column A). I cannot get the sort or filter functions to do this for me, and I've never used macros but it appears they might be useful for my problem. I'd like to find an automatic process to move the data left rather than drag and drop hundreds of times. I'm attaching the complete xls file for your viewing.
