I've been given the assignment to replace an old company name with the new one in an excessive amount of excel files. All the excel files seem to be some kinds of forms with fancy buttons and such. I've been trying to research this quite a bit but only found some shady programs which I'm not installing on company computers so I decided to write a batch script to try and accomplish this, if you have any other ways to do this do let me know. So far I've only got a basic skeleton of the batch script, like looping through all the excel files in a directory and then loop through all the worksheets within the file. Here's how it looks

I just want some confirmation that this would actually work and how to replace all occurrences of a string in a workspace.
I have a requirement to search workbooks in a particular folder with specific string in file name. For example, let us assume I need to find a file which contains the name 'RR' in it. The position of 'RR' will vary with files i.e. 'RR' might be present either in the beginning, middle or at the end of file name. All I wanted is to search for file with 'RR' and do some activity and close the file and then goto next file. Similarly, the next search has to be performed with the files containing the name 'BB' in it.
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.
I need a code which replaces the given letter or sign combination at the first or at the last position of a string. User should be able to chose from which end the replacement should be done, what should be replaced and in which column. Maybe throug a messagebox!
For example (1): Column B: [trn][m1][c blue]$ [/c] = Dollar. [/m][m2][c green]Currency of USA[/c][/m][/trn] [trn][m1][c blue]€ [/c] = Euro. [/m][m2][c green]Currency of EU contries[/c][/m][/trn]
Result of replacing the first "[/c]" with "" should be: [trn][m1][c blue]$ = Dollar. [/m][m2][c green]Currency of USA[/c][/m][/trn] [trn][m1][c blue]€ = Euro. [/m][m2][c green]Currency of EU contries[/c][/m][/trn]
Result of replacing the last "[/c]" with "" should be: [trn][m1][c blue]$ [/c] = Dollar. [/m][m2][c green]Currency of USA[/m][/trn] [trn][m1][c blue]€ [/c] = Euro. [/m][m2][c green]Currency of EU contries[/m][/trn] ......................................
I'm copy and pasting many formulas from different worksheets. After pasting, I'm trying to go into each of the cell references and update it to the new worksheet. For example, let's say the cell has a reference to another cell of: ='Worksheet 1'!xx:xx I want change about 50 cells like that at once to ='Worksheet 2'!xx:xx However, every time I pick the Replace feature, either one at a time, or all at once, it opens the Open file dialog box. I've confirmed that it definitely "Finds" everything correctly....it just happens every time on the "Replace".
I am trying to import 16 columns from one file into another (please reference the attached images). I need each line to match an identifier (in this case the players name (column A in MASTER and Column B in NEW)).
In the NEW file, each column to be imported is titled Stats1, Stats2, Stats 3 (up to 16.) These headers are identical in both files but a complication is that the NEW file only has 900 players (lines) and the MASTER has almost 1600.
Sidney Crosby's 16 Stats column from the NEW file needs to replace Sidney Crosby 16 different Stats columns in MASTER.
I have a large spreadsheet that has links to CSV files. Every month I need to create a new folder and put the CSV files into that folder, all the CSV files from month to month have the same name for each worksheet.
I'm trying to do Find and replace on the Folder name within the links to change say, February to March so I can just add the CSV files for each month and the spreadsheet will link to the new CSV file in the folder.
I have even tried adding all the February CSV's to the March folder so that when I overwrite the CSV's it will update the master spreadsheet, but it keeps asking me where to look for the folder. Here is an example of a link:
In one of my worsheets in the excel document, I have data as shown below:
Name Description Minimum Values Maximum Values ABC test desc {0.0, 0.0, 0.0} {1.0, 1.0, 1.0} DEF test desc {{0.0, 0.0, 0.0},{0.0,0.0,0.0}} {{1.0, 1.0, 1.0}, {1.0, 1.0, 1.0}}
Basically for a 1D array, the minimum and maximum values are within one set of brackets, whereas for 2D array (as shown in the second row), there would be nested brackets with comma after every closing bracket being a row separator.
My requirement is to write a macro to replace the minimum and maximum values in every row of the worksheet (I do not know the exact number of rows as it could vary) with just one value instead of repeated values depending on the size of the array. In other words, I am looking at the below output:
Name Description Minimum Values Maximum Values ABC test desc 0.0 1.0 DEF test desc 0.0 1.0
How to extract out the (M) from a string and convert (M) in that string to another value? Example: I want to extract out the (M) from a string and convert the (M) to "Medium". The data is: Burger (M) with french fries. How to exract (M) from the data and convert the value (M) to "Medium"?
I'm trying to get excel to check a cell against a table of numbers and if it finds any of them to replace it with the correct number.
Basically if the cell contains any of the numbers in the "Do Not Use" column then it should display the corresponding entry from the "Replace With" column?
see attached spreadsheet. Cells in orange are where I want the formula to go...
I'm working with some data exported from a database. Unfortunately, when data is exported to excel, cells that should be completely blank (i.e. ISBLANK formula would return TRUE) actually contain empty strings.
What is the fastest way to replace the empty string with a true null?
I have 4 columns in which is text combined with numbers (Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet t-shirt LPW01-B consectetur adipiscing.) I need to search every column and cells in them for a word/string which is written in R2 and replace the word in every cell by the word in S2
So for example, in R2 is "t-shirt" and in S2 is "potato"
The program finds the entry: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet t-shirt LPW01-B consectetur adipiscing." and replace it with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet potato LPW01-B consectetur adipiscing."
P.S.: I am having a trouble with uploading the file directy here, so here's a link: [URL]
I created a vba procedure for a particular job but within that procedure I need to perform another task. I've been trying to come up with a regular expression but to no avail. I'm looking to loop through a range of cells for any string where there isn't a space before and after a hyphen. When occurance is matched, then replace with spaces. One exception to the rule would be if data is contained within parentheses, then ignore. There could be zero occurances in string to many.
I am looking for a piece of code and can locate the range of a specified string, and replace it with something else. For example, I need to find string "AA" and replace that with "BB", can this be achieved with VBA code?
I have a spreadsheet with cognitive tests (approx 300) that have been given names like
w3_th_e w4_th_e dkefs_TMT1_e pegboard_eh_e
What I need is a VBA macro that replaces the _e only at the end of the string to _ss for those strings that begins with w3_, w4_ and DKEFS_ (e.g. from w3_th_e to w3_th_ss)
Likewise I want to replace only the _e at the end of the string on all other names (e.g. pegboard_eh_e) with _t (e.g. from pegboard_eh_e to pegboard_eh_t) Is this possible?
I have Userform1, Textbox1, Textbox2 and CommandButton1. Textbox1 is being manually inputted by users.
I would like that when I click Commandbutton1, that Textbox2 will be populated by whatever value was entered in Textbox1, except that the any string that matches any of the listed pattern below:
009??? 017??? 088??? 078??? 003??? 663???
will be excluded. "?" here represent any 1 character.
So for example, if the user inputted "AA-90-088100ABC" in Textbox1, when CommandButton1 is clicked, Textbox2 should have the value:
I am trying to be able to input a value in column A and the string of text in column B will be affected by the value that I put in Column A. And i want to be able to do this with multiple rows with multiple values. Example:
My string of text in column B remains the same until the value of Column A changes. The find/replace will overwrite the "" in the string. This is my string of text in Column B: "^cCHT;all;;t;g;F1;F1;;all;;t;g;F2;F2;;all;;"
A1 value = "ABC" Resulting Text in B1 = "^cCHT;all;;t;g;F1;F1ABC;;all;;t;g;F2;F2ABC;;all;;"
A2 value = "XYZ" Resulting Text in B2 = "^cCHT;all;;t;g;F1;F1XYZ;;all;;t;g;F2;F2XYZ;;all;;"
I know that I can accomplish this by creating a button but I was wondering if there is a more automated way like a formula in a cell or something.
I want to do is search for "&s_kwcid" or anything containing "&s_kwcid" and replace it with blank. So above would then read:
fdfs sfsd &dfsdaf&dsafdsf fdsf&dasfsdf
I tried =IF(SUM(COUNTIF(E2,{"&s_kwcid*"}))=1,E2,"") but it didn't work. I tried auto filtering, and using contains &s_kwcid* but it didn't filter out results, but find &s_kwcid did find results for text anywhere in string, so I know the problem is there.
I'm using this macro to import txt files into excel.
Code: Sub Bring_Articles_Into_The_File() Dim sPath As String Dim iRow As Long Dim strString As String
[Code]....
Id like to replace the folder URL string ("C:Articles") and refer it to the cell "E5" instead. (So I don't have to open the code and change the folder every time)
I'm looking for some code to loop through some rows of text and then if the text contains / replace that with a space. My code is below:
Code: do until intdemandrow = 1 If InStr(Range(cells(intdemandrow, 1).Value, "/") Then replace(cells(intdemandrow, 1).value, "/", " ") intdemandrow = intdemandrow - 1 end if loop
I am writing to see if this can be done. I have a master file that I want to open up to 80 files in a directory. For example, if I select Janauary as the Master file month to process for it to open up all files lastname_firstname_Jan01_15 and lastname_firstname_Jan16_Jan31.
I want it to populate the Master file based on criteria set in column A for that file.
Also, two of the fields need to be a sum from all of the files.
