Replace Small Square Character With Line Break After Import
Nov 18, 2008
When importing text from a CSV, the 'line returns' appear in a cell as a small square with faded left and right sides. The do force a line break as intended. However, they are a nuisance in reading and printing.
When I use ALT+ENTER to force a line break, there is no visible character (on screen or printed) for the line break, which is as it should be.
How can I replace this 'special character' line break with one not visible?
I have 2 sheets in a work book. Sheet 1 I paste information from an email into A4. Sheet 2 gathers the information and places it in the cell formating the text so I can import it properly to another program.
I want to take notes that a person fills in (they fill out an online form with their personal information and sometimes leave comments, but not always) and paste this into Sheet 1. When I paste the comments into Sheet 1 it is pasted into mulitple cells. I want sheet 2 to format the text from these mulitples cells into one cell with spaces placed correctly ....
I am using a User Form to input data to a spreadsheet and have an issue. I've set the TextBox WordWrap & MultiLine Property to True and the textbox values don't show the reverse P character, but how do I get the "square" from populating into the cells on my worksheet? I was using this old thread as a point of reference, but didn't understand how to use or where to put it in my form. I'm referring to the code that Dave Hawley supplied. Strange Characters Pasting to Textbox
I'm trying to combine 2 cells that both have text on multiple lines separated by line breaks. I want to keep the formatting so that when both cells are combined, line one from cell 1 and line 1 from cell 2 are on the same line in the new combined cell. This is easy to do when there is only 1 line in each cell but how do you do this for cells with multiple lines? Here is an example of what I am trying to do:
A B C
1 First Name: Last Name: Address: John Smith 123 Harold Street First Name: John Last Name: Smith Address: 123 Harold Street
I have a multi-line text box in a user form. This information is loaded onto an excel spreadsheet. Where I have pressed the return button to go to the next line in the text box it loads in a square (actually I think it's probably more of a rectangle) character onto the excel spreadsheet. It there a way to get rid of this character?
I am currently using a sheet of paper and tallying events. By tallying, I mean placing a small vertical line on the paper, then after 4 vertical lines, I place a diagonal line across the four. At the end of the month, I add all these up. I would like to make a spreadsheet to replace the tallying, but am not sure how to do it. Is this possible? I am beginner to intermediate with Excel and use 2003, but can switch to 2007.
We do large loads of new part #'s/descriptions/UPC's/etc from excel into our database. The fields are limited on character count and I would like writing a formula to break the contents of a cell based on character count without breaking a word.
Examples
Column A Current Data Row1: 12Pt HD Offset Striking Wrench 1-3/8" & 35MM (44 characters) Row2: 12Pt 1/2" Drv Socket 27MM (25 characters) Row3: 12Pt Satin Combo Wrench 11/16" (30 characters) Row4: 12Pt 1/2" Drv Deep Socket 1-1/8" (32 characters)
Results I'm Looking For
Row1: Column B-12Pt HD Offset Striking Wrench Column C- 1-3/8" & 35MM Row2: Column B-12Pt 1/2" Drv Socket 27MM Column C-No Data Returned Row3: Column B-12Pt Satin Combo Wrench 11/16" Column C-No Data Returned Row4: Column B-12Pt 1/2" Drv Deep Socket Column C-1-1/8"
I have a spreadsheet that has a column of text that is always 10 characters long. There are 10 rows of text so there could be 100 text characters if all rows are filled. The rows usually will not all be filled. There will probably be blank rows between used rows. I have been able to capture the text and put it into one cell as one long text which is ok but I want to be able to break it up into the 10 character strings again, separated with a comma and space between each 10 characters.
This is the code I used to collect the 10 character text strings and put them all together as the variable "result". I used & ", " after ... Cells(r,17) which worked fine unless there was a blank row. If the row was blank it put in a comma and space anyway so I ended up with duplicate(triplicate) commas and spaces.
Private Sub test_Click() result = "" For r = 5 To 32 Step 3 'If Cells(r, 17) "" Then result = result & Cells(r, 17) Next r Range("r5") = result End Sub
I need a formula to tell me whether a number is a square number, or I can do it so to see if the square root of a number is an interger. So far Iv been doing
A1 = 2 A2 = AND(RIGHT(A1,1)=INT(A1))
True or false outcome is fine, and it has been working fine on some examples, but the problem comes when I have 49, as it is 2 digits long. I've seen a formula similar to find the root symbol, and look at all the numbers upto this point (maybe FIND).
I have this code that is to long for the vba window so I read around and found I had to add a space and _ to extend the line.For some reason I get an error in the code when I do that?
However I copied the formula right from the working cell?
I am entering large amounts of text into a text box uisng VBA code.
In VBE I need to line break the text using "space _" in order I can keep the text manageable on the screen. Problem is VBA is telling me there is a limit to the number of line breaks I can have in a sub, how I can solve this, ideally would like to paste a para of text at a time.
I have created a message box and I want leave two blank lines in the middle of the text. Is this possible?
At the moment my code for the message box line looks like:
Msg = "This process will print each site for " & UserSlection & ". Before continuing please ensure you have the right printer selected. (I.E. a colour printer where available). The process may take several minutes to complete. Do you wish to continue?"
I just want to move the "Do you wish to continue?" down two lines so that it is easier to read.
I need a formula to insert a line break after every 42 characters in a cell , example if there is 266 characters in a cell there should be 6(266/42)line breaks.
=REPLACE(REPLACE(A1,42,0,CHAR(10)),84,0,CHAR(10))
I tried this but i am not sure how to get the start num to change to 126,168 and so on
I know Excel is not the best tool for formatting sentences, but is there a way to insert a Line-Break based on a condition? (Either using Formula or VBA).
The situation is:A fixed-width cell, is a concatenation of 5 strings. Each of these 5 strings is a small sentence of 3-6 words; individually much smaller than the cell-width.2 of these 5 are fixed (one at start, one at the end). The other 3 are results of their respective "IF" formulas.Hence, the final sentence wraps over 2-3 lines.I need the 3rd & 5th sentence (the whole sentence, all 3-6 words of it) to start in a new line, only if they are going to be wrapped into two lines.
So If the wrapping results in: String1 String2 Stri ng3 String4 Stri ng5
Then change it to: String1 String2 String3 String4 String5
I have a cell in excel that has 5 lines of text and I would like to count how many characters there are in each line of the cell. Is there a formula/macro to count them?
I'm having troubles with a spreadsheet and unfortunately don't know enough VBA to fix it. I have two columns, each with data like so (standard text) separated by a line break:
Object1 Object2 Object3 value1 value2 value3
And I need them separated like so:
Object1 Value1
Object2 Value2
Object3 Value3
with other items in the row from other columns applied to the new rows accordingly.
Any script/macro/tool (even non-Excel) to do this effectively (over 800 rows)?
Why when I drag the dotted blue page break line does it sometimes break the entire doc into one page per cell ?
The doc is not wide. When I first load I can drag the break line successfully. Then I print preview... select print on both sides... boom.. goes from 4 pages to 14. Then I go back to page break view... drag the line... boom... Hundreds of pages. Even if I revert back to printing on one side it still is messed up.
How do I make this stop?? What am I doing wrong?? Office 2010
I need to replace the sixth character in each row of a column within an excel spreadsheet and wanted to know how to do this within vba and if anybody had any example code
I'm trying to go through a short list of letters and change the contents of every cell in the list that contains a "c" into a "M". I've written this code, but I get a #Value! message on my spreadsheet when I run it:
Function FindCpmDpm(SearchRng As Range)
Dim CelRng As Range
For Each CelRng In SearchRng
If CelRng.Value = "c" Then CelRng.Value = "M" End If
Next CelRng
End Function
I am having trouble accessing the cell which contains the "c".
A have a worksheet in excel which was copied from pdf.
in each cell number of different lines, the data appears on a new lines. the same as using the new line character. (ALT + ENTER)
The document is huge. well over 3000 individual cells, and generally 4 or 5 lines in each one. Is there anyway i can globally change the whole documents. Just deleteling all the new lines??
In column N I would like a formula to add 3 columns,e.g. C and D and F. The problem is I want the symbol ~ replaced by 1.0 for calculation purposes.I need a solution in 1 column,if possible. I have made a few efforts,but just not getting there. See attached section of sheet.
I have a requirement... which need to search from a cel if it march then replace with below name. When user gives a selection screen, month displays in a cell A1.
For example: If this cel (A1) is jan then it should replace with Jan, if mar then replace with mar, if MAI then replace with MAY, if sep then replace with SEP, if OKT then replace with OCT.... and so on... or It search the cell A1 for MAI, then replace with MAY & also should search for if A1 is OKT then replace OCT, & also if A1 is DZC then replace with DEC.
I know the function of ....
[=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*MAI*",A1)),"MAY",A1)] =
This formula brings me only 1 search, but I need 3 search if match replace with respective character. this should search for OKT & DZC ALSO....
present - new
JAN - JAN FEB - FEB MAR - MAR APR - APR MAI - MAY JUN - JUN JUL - JUL AUG - AUG SEP - SEP OKT - OCT NOV - NOV DZC - DEC
