Replace specific text within a defined range without having to select the sheet. I tried the following but this is obviously not the way to go.
Sub Open_Calls_Rename_Organizations()
With Sheets("Open Calls").Range("Organizations")
Cells.Replace What:="Institute Technology Code", Replacement:="ITC", LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False
End With
End Sub
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 need some vba coding which will find and replace text on a worksheet. This would normally be straight-forward, however some text needs to be replaced by text which already occurs in the worksheet, and without it changing as well (if Find/Replace can perform two Find/Replaces at the same time???).
Here is the detail and what I am trying to accomplish: I have two worksheets each with a table of data.Worksheet 1 has a lookup table with three columns of data (column a and b are lists, with c being a formulated column which is dependent on the user selecting either column a name or column b name). I have done this easily enough using data validation on cell $C$1.Worksheet 2 has a user input table which column 3 is a dropdown validation using the named range "UsedName" from Worksheet 1.
I want the selected dropdown names to automatically change when the user changes Old Name to New Name (and vis-versa) on Worksheet 1.The list of values in the data validation dropdown list change well enough, but not any of the existing returned values. When I tried to use vba coding to Find & Replace, I run into issues because (Substanital and Important) are used in both instances, but at different levels with different matched names Important/Relevant.
Worksheet 1 A B C D 1 Cell with dropdown list New Names 2 (Old Names, New Names) 3 4 Old Names New Names Names Level 5 Equal Equivalent Equivalent 1 6 Dominant Critical Critical 2 7 Important Substantial Substantial 3 8 Substantial Major Major 4 9 Relevant Important Important 5 10 Minor Irrelevant Irrelevant 6 formula for column C =IF($C$1="Used Names", A5, B5) column C is name ranged "Names
Worksheet 2 (Worksheet 2 has another table which has various data. One column which is a drop down list being pulled from Worksheet 1)
A B C D 1 Bob 25% Critical 19 2 Frank 60% Important 33 3 Ellen 40% Substantial 5 4 Ellen G 20% Substantial 12 5 Gary 55% Equivalent 100 6 Jo 50% Major 8 7 Peter 40% Important 22 8 Kim 12% Equivalent 30 9 Shelley 75% Substantial 15 10 John 75% Critical 90
so I want column C to automatically change from these New Names to the corresponding Old Name of the same level. So Critical would become Dominant, Important would become Relevant and Substantial would become Important.
I have a button on say, sheet1 with text that I want to change after a certain action takes place; however, I was trying to change this text without switching sheets. (switching sheets isn't a big deal, I'm mainly trying to do it my way for the practice). I'm able to select the button on the other sheet without actually switching sheets, but when it comes to changing it's text I get an error. Here is the code I tried:
Sub macro1 () Worksheets("sheet2").Select Worksheets("sheet1").Shapes("Button 2").Select Selection.Characters.Text = "Done" End Sub
Problem with this is it gives cell A1 on sheet2 the "done" text. I also tried this...but it gives the error.
Sub macro1 () Worksheets("sheet2").Select Worksheets("sheet1").Shapes("Button 1").Select With Worksheets("sheet1").Shapes("Button 1") .Characters.Text = "Done" End With End Sub
I could use some assistance in creating a macro that will delete all and only text boxes on the active sheet. Some text boxes will be empty, but I still wish for them all to be deleted. Through searching the forums I see a similiar code, but it deletes all shapes on the active sheet:
I need some sort of code to check through a selection of cells in a column and make those cells "zero" whose value is equal to the first cell in the selection. e.g., let's say I have a key value entered in cell e6 = "2.99".
E6 F6 G6 H6 I6 J6 2.99 5.25 2.99 2.00 2.99 5.00
So the macro should be able to check the value in cell E6 (i.e. = 2.99) against values in cells from F6: J6 and any cell having the same value as cell E6 (2.99) should be made = 0. So, in the above example cells G6 & I6 will have "0" value after the code has been executed. I have close to 50 rows going down starting from cell E6. For example, E7 has a value which has to be checked against the range starting from F7 to J7 and so on and so forth.
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?
I have created an excel worksheet that will provide budgeting and estimating tools for my project managers. All data used to be manual entry and took a good while to complete. I am trying to automate the process with VBA.
I created a UserForm called InfoVerify1. On that form I have TextBox 1 - 10. When the UF opens, the boxes display project information from my worksheet called "Basis of Estimate", also known as Sheet26.
The TextBox1 ControlSource is set to "E4". When I run the macro with Sheet26 active, the proper information fills in. However, when I am on the Start page or any other worksheet and I run the macro, it tries to fill in the text boxes with E4, etc, from the active sheet. I tried changing the ControlSource to "Sheet26,E4" or any combo thereof with only error messages.
how to get it to refer to a cell on a particular worksheet and hold to that worksheet no matter which sheet I am on at the time I run the Userform?
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 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 used the "record macro" and went through my data manipulation steps. But its not transferable to other worksheets because it imbedding the name of the worksheet in the some functions (sort, pivottable,...). How can I change the name of the worksheet to "activeworksheet"?
I've been a somewhat casual Excel user and now need to do some VBA with a workbook that has several worksheets in it. In particular, the workbook has sheets that have been added "out of order", that is, the leftmost sheet is not the first one added to the book.
I need to write a VBA routine that looks "backward" from the current worksheet to "previous" sheets, i.e., sheets to the left of the current worksheet, but not to the right, so I can't refer to them as Sheet1, Sheet2, etc. and they actual display names that are not of that form anyway. I am aware of the "Worksheets" collection and the fact that I can "subscript" that to refer to the sheets in a left-to-right form.
I know that I can refer to the current sheet as "ActiveSheet" and I can determine properties like its name with "ActiveSheet.Name", but is it possible to find its index in the Worksheets collection? I'm looking for a function or property such that "ActiveSheet.Index" will allow me to refer to it as "Worksheets(Index)" and particularly to allow me to refer to preceding sheets as, e.g., "Worksheets(Index-1)".
If worse comes to worst, I can always cycle through the worksheets and check the name of each worksheet like this:
Sub Button1_Click() Dim index As Integer Dim strASName As String strASName = ActiveSheet.Name index = 0 Do index = index + 1 Loop Until Worksheets(index).Name = strASName MsgBox "Index of current worksheet is " & index End Sub
And while I'm at it, is it possible in Excel to rename a control like "Button1" to something more sensible and mnemonic, like "btnRecalculate" or whatever?
I have a chart that gets updated to show the desired reporting period by clicking a button to run some code which applies filtering to the source worksheet using a value selected from a drop down validation list on the chart worksheet. When the code runs, the source worksheet displays temporarily. How do I prevent this switching back and forth between the data and chart worksheets during code execution? Undoubtedly, there is a better way to code this.
Sub Chart_FilterPPM() Application.DisplayAlerts = False wk = Worksheets("Charts"). Range("D63") Worksheets("Leak Data").Activate With Worksheets("Leak Data") .AutoFilterMode = False .Range("Headings_LeakData").AutoFilter End With With Range("Headings_LeakData").AutoFilter Selection.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=wk Selection.AutoFilter Field:=11, Criteria1:=">5000", Operator:=xlAnd End With Worksheets("Charts").Activate Application.DisplayAlerts = False End Sub
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)
Using VBA, I am trying (without success) to copy the active worksheet of my workbook and save it in the current folder using a filename shown in cell A1. I only need to save values and formats. Any existing code (auto fit) contained withing the sheet would no longer be required. I get a VB project message relating to macros. I would anticipate saving as xlsx would deal with this but again, am at a loss.
In VB when I select a worksheet, I can amend the (Name) of the worksheet in the properties window. There is also the .Name property which is the same as the sheet tag name.
I can use the (Name) in vb code to identify the sheet e.g.
ControlSheet.cells(1,1)
without having to define ControlSheet as a worksheet first.
How do I access the (Name) which appears at the top of the list of properties in the properties window.
I am having an error in the following line of my code:
Set MyRange = Sheets("BackData").Range("rsJobTypes").Range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(cnt, 1))
If there is another sheet that is active, besides for the "BackData" sheet, I get an application error. I would like to know how I can reference this range without having to activate the sheet.
I tried adding "thisworkbook" before "sheets", but it did not seem to work.
Say i have a Worksheet named "gateway" or sometimes it will be "gateway (2)" (3) and so on. Is there a macro that i can call that in some ways calls the active worksheet and renames it to just "gateway" everytime?
I have a code that I intend to use to retrieve 2 ranges from an active workbook (csv) and place those ranges in another named workbook. Both files are open during this procedure. The code I have is:
Code: Dim rngA As Range Dim rngB As Range With ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
[Code].....
The problem is nothing is displaying in Workbooks("data recorder template UTD Nodata").Sheets(".") I think that the code is not picking up the active workbook correctly but not sure.
I would like to be able to Click a Cell or Button to enable me to go from the 'VIN ENTRY' worksheet to the 'Date Completed' worksheet and then be able to enter the Date in the Correct cell cooresponding to the last 6 digits of the VIN. I have included the File
Basically trying to make change the active worksheet using a macro code. I want the user to be able to click a button and it will automatically switch the worksheet to another within the workbook.
I need to do a find and replace on cell E13 on every worksheet in the workbook - a several hundred pages. The sheets are individually named not Sheet1, Sheet2......
First of all I need to find say "oldchippy" (without quotes) in cell E13 and if its there replace it with "oldchippy2", if its not there leave the contents as it is.
I am having trouble renaming an active sheet from a Macro I stored in the personal.xls file. I want the active sheet to be renamed to "Data_Source" and then the rest of the code can kick in. Instead of renaming the current worksheet it creates a new one.
