Replace Command Missing Cells With More Text
Mar 6, 2007
I've written a very simple script to replace carriage return characters with <br> tags (so I can use the output in html pages) - however for some reason when I loop the script down the cells, it ignores certain cells and works perfectly on the rest.
The only 'variable' I can spot is that the ones it misses tend to be longer cells with more text (the one's that failed were 938 characters and 910 I think).
Can anyone tell me if there is a limit on how big a cell VBA can process and if so, how I can work around this? Is it possible to load and parse each character one by one in VBA or something?
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
For Each cl In Worksheets("CREDIT (GENERAL)").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, 23)
cl.Replace What:=Chr(10), Replacement:="<br>", SearchOrder:=xlByColumns
Next cl
End Sub

This problem has come up fairly frequently lately, and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if this is by design...but in Excel 2003 I can't seem to do a "Find and Replace" based on the value of a cell. I can do a find, based on cell value, but the moment I change to the replace tab, the "values" and "comments" are missing from the "look in" dropdown.
I've only noticed this when I'm trying to replace on a filtered list, so I'm not sure if that is part of the issue.
Perhaps an alternative way of arriving at the same goal. Basically I have a worksheet with a number of filtered columns. They are filtered just right, using custom filtering, and so I do not want to undo the filters. In some columns I have formulas that are returning #VALUE! errors. I'd like to replace all of these cells with NA.

Structure:
I have a worksheet with the cells in one of the columns having html tags inside of each cell.
The tags vary by location within the cell and there are anywhere from 0-10 tags per cell.
Column A is the text string. Inside these cells are the tags. The tags are of form
<A href="/mortgagecenter/article_alias">
The
<A href="/mortgagecenter/
and
">
parts are true for every instance of this string....
....article_alias is a variable per each string. I have columns B and C which are the aricle_alias names and article_ID's, respectively.
What I am trying to do:
From the [quote]<A href="/mortgagecenter/article_alias">[quote]
I would need to replace the
article_alias
portion with
ArticleID&"-"&article_alias

I've recently been making a macro in visual basic that loops through all my excel files and replaces an old company name to a new company name and It's working great, well except for one thing... It always misses one string in the file and it leaves me with 90% of the file corrected. I think that the string might be a part of a merged range so Range.Find is not able to find it. I was suggested to use this code:
[Code] ......
Because that's the code that is generated when using the replace function in MS Excel 2010, but I keep getting syntax errors?

Is it possible to select specific cells and then have the Replace feature only apply to those cells, particularly if I use the Replace-All button?

Is there a way to Find & Replace Multiple Cells that contains the same text.
For example:
Cell A1 contains: Brand Stanley Stock No. ASJK12311
Cell A2 contains: Brand Facom N/A 5456chis
Cell A3 contains: Brand 3M Stock No. 128931
Now, I want to replace all cells that contain the word "Stock No" to "Free Delivery"
Result should be:
Cell A1 contains: Free Delivery
Cell A2 contains: Brand Facom N/A 5456chis
Cell A3 contains: Free Delivery
I've tried a few methods but none of them work.

Is there a formula where it will find all that reads 07-06 and be able to change it to 08-06? Below are samples of formulas where I am looking to change 07-06 to 08-06 without having to go into each cell and manually changing 07-06 to 08-06:
= SUM(IF('07-06 data'!$C$2:$C$103="CAM",IF('07-06 data'!$I$2:$I$103="INCOMING - NEW",1,0)))
=SUM(IF('07-06 data'!$C$2:$C$103="MSP",IF('07-06 data'!$I$2:$I$103="INCOMING - NEW",1,0)))
=SUM(IF(('07-06 data'!$C$2:$C$103="CAM")*('07-06 data'!$I$2:$I$103="INCOMING - NEW"),'07-06 data'!$J$2:$J$103))

Search multiple cells for certain string and then replace the text of the entire cell with new text. For example the text may contain:
"A Chestnut Leather Satchel Binocular Case "They'll Fight Over When You're Dead" (Binocularcase-SL-CH)"
I want to search for SL-CH and once that is found I want to replace the contents of the entire cell with the following: Satchel Chestnut (SL-CH)

Is there a ATransform or replace command in Excel. i have a value of 04/23/09 which is a date and would like to replace all "/" with "-' thereby making the value 04-23-09. I could examine each character value within a cell but this would just make a long coding and would like to know if there's a shorter way to do this?.

I have one sheet in my workbook called 'mapping' which has a list of codes on it, the length of which will vary on a periodic basis.
I have another fairly large sheet on the workbook called 'data' (around 2000 rows) that will also vary in size. I want to do a search on the data tab for each code that is contained on column 4 of the mapping tab and if the code is found, enters the corresponding value from column 1 of the mapping tab to the cell 6 columns to the left of where the code was found on the data tab (cols H and B in this case). Hopefully that makes sense!
The issue I have is the codes maybe contained more than once on the data tab so I need the find/replace command to search the whole of the data tab and perform the task each time.

[Code] .....
Trying to repeat a 550 or so character statement with a find/replace however I am getting type mismatch errors. When I use a smaller message in the "replace" it works.
I need it to post a message exactly as long as what I have in there. How do I get it to work?

trying to transfer a macro from Win XP, Excel 2003(?) to Mac OS X, Excel X, my program crashes due to missing functions in Excel X.
Apparently, there is no such function as "Replace()" in Mac Excel....
'these lines do not work on Mac Excel
lfdNrStr = Replace(lfdNrStr, "(", "") 'takes out the brakes
lfdNrStr = Replace(lfdNrStr, ")", "") 'takes out the brakes
lfdNrStr = Replace(lfdNrStr, " ", "") 'takes out the empty spaces
lfdNr = CInt(lfdNrStr)

In Excel 2003, I built a small form with only a text box in the form that says "Thinking...Please wait! When I call it from code using:
Sub
' my code has some input boxes before this
userform1.show vbModeless
' long running code after this
End Sub
the form displays, and my code continues, but the text box on the form is not displayed.

I have a spreadsheet full of site codes which should be the format:
AA1111
or
A1111
Where A = any alpha character & 1 = any numeric character
unfortunately the staff entering the code nearly always miss leading zeros off the numeric part of the site code.
At the moment I manually correct this. Is there a better way to do this?

I have an existing Cash Flow Report that has a column of abbreviated/shortened (WBS Element) title where each cell contains a unique three lettered/numbered amount of characters (Example: 200). These three abbreviated character cells are specific and relate to their full/longer (SAP WBS Element) title (Example: WBS DWRRI-BW066-200).
In my attached excel model (Find, Locate, and Align WBS Elements to Cash Flow Report.xlsx), I need a formula for the, "Cash Flow Report WBS Elements" sheet in cells B3 thru B11 that will look at the abbreviated three lettered/numbered (WBS Element) titles in cells C3 thru C11, then search and recognize its unique counterpart contained in the, "SAP WBS Elements Export" sheet and return this full/longer (SAP WBS Element) title to the, "Cash Flow Report WBS Elements" sheet in cells B3 thru. B11, just to the left of its abbreviated/shortened (WBS Element) title.

I am trying to find specific text throughout an excel document (2007) and replace it with the same text but in italics. I tried using the options/format function and selecting italics for the "replace" text but it replaces the entire cell text in italics instead.

I have a worksheet with several columns. I need a formula to search column D only and each time a specific location is identified to replace that location with alternate text. Example (ORIGNAL TEXT):
Column Dtext to text help.xlsx
BIRD
FISH
DOG
BAT
BUG
I need to search that listing and each time the word BIRD is mentioned have it replaced with FEATHERS and each time DOG is listed have it replaced with TAILS Final result would look like:
FEATHERS
FISH
TAILS
BAT
BUG
All other text should stay the same and replacement text should appear in the cell of the text it is replacing. This is a sheet used by multiple people several times a day and so the Find/Replace option really won't work.
Have working on this for at least 6 months and it just isn't going to happen for me. I thought I could use a Conditional format, but that is producing no results either.

I have a spreadsheet which has number of formatted rows, the user can insert the formatted rows if they need more as its hard to determine if they will need one set or 50 sets.
The formatted cells are 4 rows deep and span from columns A to AR
The thing is that I want the totals at the bottom to automatically pick up the sums from say Column H but only on the 2nd row of each set of formatted cells eg. H13, H17, H21, H25 etc.
And another sum to pick up the 3rd row, e.g H14, H18, H22, H26 etc
Obviously this can be done manually by selecting control and AutoSum but I wondered if there was a pice of VBA code or a formula that i could run due to some worksheets being longer than others?

Trying to Find a specific word and Replace with another within a textbox ( created from the drawing tool, as well as the control toolbar) The textboxes contain loads of text information.
as an example
The word "Apple" to be replaced with "Orange"
I came across this code from the archives (compliments of Dave Hawley)
Sub ReplaceTextBoxText()
Dim sTextBox As Shape
Dim wSheet As Worksheet
Set wSheet = Sheets.Add()
For Each sTextBox In Sheet1.Shapes
I've tried several variations with no results. (perhaps it's to extensive for my modest needs)

I have an Excel workbook with around 100 worksheets. All of them have similar columns, but the values are stored as text. The length of columns and missingness is different in different worksheets. I will be grateful if any of you could suggest a VBA that could convert the numbers stored as text back to numbers. I have been looking for an answer for a while, but cant seem to find one that automatically looks at every worksheet and converts text into number.

The following macro searches for missing combinations. This macro will search the complete list and will return any missing combination from "1, 2, 3, 4" to "7, 8, 9, 10".
I need to make some changes in this macro, so that it will search for missing combinations only within a specified range of cells (and not the whole list). For example (see excel file attached), I would like to place a search within range("G23:J183"), from combination "1, 2, 6, 9" to combination "4, 6, 8, 10". In this case, it should return only 9 missing combinations.

I recorded this SQL query and got this and a Connection string, the query kind of works but i want to be able to edit more. Can someone tell me what does what in this huge string, i want to be able to edit the MatsViewerView.SpecType and other things like i can edit the lot number=2007312RC (very end of string). P.S. sorry about the formatting, i guess this is what excel does when it records a query onto a macro.
.CommandText = Array( _
"SELECT MatsViewerView.SpecType, MatsViewerView.LotNumber, MatsViewerView.WaferNumber, MatsViewerView.DieNumber, MatsViewerView.TestDate, PostAnalysis.Description, PostAnalysis.Achieved, WPGain1.WPGain" _

We use a program at work to check items out to individual people but sometimes an item is missed and it takes forever to manually look for who it is. In the attached example, (keep in mind there might be more than 100 people on this list...this is just two people), the first 2 items are a pair (radio and radio case) and the second 2 items are a pair (laptop and laptop case).
Id like a way (condition formatting) to flag a person who has one item from the pair checked out and not the other. (Ive manually highlighted one person who only has one of the paired items...id like this to happen automatically)
EDIT:: If the first person were missing the radio in this example, his name would be highlighted on the line with the matching pair...cell D1 (radio case)
Other information:
Radios will always be RFAMRC***
Radio cases will always be RFAMF****
Laptops will always be RFAMTD***
Laptop cases will always be RFAMTE***

I have macro that brings information from outlook to excel. In the beginning of macro, it deletes range of cells. That destroys the functions that target those cells. Is there a way avoid that? Using some different method or ?
Code:
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim olNS As Outlook.Namespace
Dim myCalItems As Outlook.Items
Dim ItemstoCheck As Outlook.Items
[Code] ........
Running the macro messes up all funtions that targets those cells.
Like:
Code:
=DATEVALUE(MID(data!#REF!;4;2)&"."&LEFT(data!#REF!;2)&"."&RIGHT(data!#REF!;2))
This really great code to get data from outlook is originally: [URL] ........

I have the total sales for a company. Then I have four specific segments that fall under those sales. Two out of the four segments I have exact sales figures for. The other two segments I just have the year-end sales and the dollar increase in each quarter. Is there a way to solve in excel for the missing quarters. So each of the four segments would have to add up to the total sales for both the quarter and the year. I've attached my example spreadsheet too. There are two cells missing highlighted in blue but i'm going to try to obtain that data. provided i fill in those two blanks, is there way to back into the rest of this spreadsheet?
