Shorten Cell's Content When Specific Conditions Are Met?
Feb 1, 2013
I have need of VBA code that will check collumn D, starting at cell 7 until cell 206, for when data that is entered starts with 100. When this occurs it will remove all of the data in that same cell except for the last 12 digits.
Here's an example.
When using our barcode scanner to capture a FedEx Tracking number the barcode captures the following:
1001853514360009020200802541997796.
Embedded in that long string of numbers (which are formatted as Text) is the tracking number. Specifically the last 12 numbers are the tracking number. However, FedEx varies this code at times so the last 12 numbers are the tracking number only with the raw data captured by the scanner starts with 100. Until I find additional conditions this VBA code will have to ignore all of data that is captured in collumn D starting at cell 7 until 206.
I am having some trouble writing a macro to delete cell content. I know which cells I want to clear, but I can't seem to get the macro to do it.
I also want to have something in the macro that inserts data into the lines that I am trying to clear. I want cell A67 to say "Payment" and cell A71 to say "Total."This is the code I am using: Sub DeleteCell() Dim i As Integer For i = 67 To 71 If Range("A" & i).Value = "--" Then Range("A" & i).Delete Next i End Sub
I have a worksheet that contains two basic columns of data, A and B. What I would like to do is based on the value in column A, I would like to copy the contents of column B to a textfile (preserving the basic line structure and hopefully without any extra characters like quotation marks attached). So for all the values in column A = 'Account', Id like to take all the corresponding values in Column E (for example) and save them to the same file, preferably where the filename itself as 'Account.xyz'. And I would like to do this for all unique values in Column A, that is do it for 'Account' and 'AccountPrivilege' etc. Note Column A is essentially presorted alphabetically already. There are actually 1000s of rows with hundreds of unique A values so Id like to find a way to automate this process.
I have a row (will always be row 3) where each cell contains a day of the week, the days repeats for a year or so, making the row almost 400 cells.
Like this, Mo - Tu - We - Th - Fr - Sa - Su - Mo - Tu - We - Th - Fr - Sa - Su - and so on...
Though, A3 doesn't have to be "Mo" because the days in this case can change (A3 can start with "Tu"), hence I think I need a macro.
So if this row contains a weekend, "Sa or "Su" I want all the cells in the column beneath that which contains a specific value to be cleared.
Example, if "Sa" or "Su" has 3 values in the columns under them, all the values that contain "X" or "Y" has to be cleared.
Like this: Rows (1,2,3...,) 1---- 2---- 3 Mo - Tu - We - Th - Fr - Sa - Su - .. and so on.. 4 A --- B --- X --- Y --- X --- B --- Y 5 A --- B --- X --- Y --- X --- X --- X 6 A --- B --- X --- Y - --X --- Y --- C
After the macro it should be:
1---- 2---- 3 Mo - Tu - We - Th - Fr - Sa - Su 4 A --- B --- X --- Y --- X --- B --- 5 A --- B --- X --- Y --- X --- --- 6 A --- B --- X --- Y - --X --- --- C
I need to change the color of a specific cell when conditions are met in a different cell and it seems like it may be beyond the scope of simply applying conditional formatting. What vba code would look like in proper syntax to make the following statement true. IF cell value Q4 is >=cell value S4 AND cell value R4 is <100 Then cell Q4 turns red and IF cell value Q4 is >= cell value S4 AND cell value R4 =100 then cell Q4 turns green. it may also be useful to know that the "cell values" in this example will be dates and not straight values. this may be possible to do using conditional formatting, but i cannot find a formula that works.
i have some code (see below). at the part where it says
If ActiveCell. Offset(0, 9).Value <> "" Then .Fields("Skill_32") = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 9).Value
i want to make this smaller - i have to write this line bout 60 times 3 times over (incresing the numbers as i go ((0, 9..10..11 etc etc and (Skill_32..33..34 etc etc) )) to give you an idea of what im trying to accomplish - im opening and writing to a database but if the cell doesnt contain any info dont update.
Function EditCPS(ByVal StaffNumber As Long) On Error Goto Err_Handler Dim SkillsBuilderDB As Database Dim RSSkillsBuilder As Recordset Dim MySQL As String Set SkillsBuilderDB = OpenDatabase(Worksheets("Adding Data").Range("IV1")) ' database location MySQL = "select * from CPS where StaffNumber=" & StaffNumber Set RSSkillsBuilder = SkillsBuilderDB.OpenRecordset(MySQL) With RSSkillsBuilder .Edit If ActiveCell.Offset(0, 9).Value <> "" Then .Fields("Skill_32") = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 9).Value Else............................................
I've been desperately trying to figure out a formula that allows me to count the number of rows in a column that have different values, but that only counts those rows in which other conditions have been met. Probably sounds a little confusing, which is why I'll illustrate it with a screenshot:
The file contains a listing of major executives of a variety of different firms in different years from 1992 onwards. In the screenshot for example, you see the executives of AAR Corp from 1992 to 1997. Since my file however consists of 240,000 rows, there's a number of c. 2400 firms with their executives over a time period of 20 years each. Since not necessarily all executives remain with their companies for the rest of their lives, some executives show up for a number of different firms in my sample.
I want to determine at how many firms each executive worked within his current industry up to the respective year, based on the information of the 2400 companies and executive data over 20 years. The current industry is classified by 1 digit SIC codes (column U) and each firm has an individual firm identifier which is the CUSIP in column S.
For example, when applying this to the first row in the screenshot (Ira Eichner), I would need a formula that counts the number of different CUSIPs (thus firms), given that the EXECID (executive ID, identifier for each executive; column I) equals 9248, the 1 digit SIC code (column U) equals 5, and the Year (column J) is below 1992.
I use this to read cell content, add some text/characters (ie. [ and ]) and change the properties of the complete cell
Sub COMMENT() Worksheets("DVD Lijssie").Activate If ActiveCell.Value 0 Then ' Change all in to ... ... ... ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = ActiveCell.Value & " " & "]" & " " & "[" With ActiveCell.Font .Name = "Arial Narrow" .Size = 8 .ColorIndex = 16 End With End If End Sub HOW can I change this vba-code so it leave's the content of the cell like it is and add some content with the use of let's say TexBox1 and ONLY use different font properties for the newely added content?
Formula/macro/etc that would enable me to have content of a cell changed based on the content of another cell in the same row.
Example: cell in column D says "PSA" - so I would need the cell in column H for that same row to read "Radio"
I would need an entire sheet scanned to review for these occurrences and make the appropriate changes. I also would need the formula to be inclusive enough to scan for variations in column D cell content (PSA 1, PSA 2, etc).
Looking to create a calendar in excel and auto-populate the content with specific fields I enter. I know how to create an excel gantt chart but I'm really looking for a calendar view instead of a series of columns with dates. I reviewed the original post on Auto-Populating Excel Calendar but was confused by the instructions. (1) create a calendar in excel and (2) show me how to populate the calendar with fields like (dept and project name) into the dates on the calendar? I have two dates that are important (a due date for the project and when that project will be published). Is there a way to have both dates show info otherwise the most important date will be the publish date?
For a table like the one below produced for the sake of example (actual is much much bigger) I want to make it list rows that are true for a certain column for a certain variable in the matrix. So for say water terrain, which types of activity can I do i.e. swimming. Or for Offroad the activites which I can't do i.e. Run and Swim.
ActivityWaterRoadOffroad Jog nym Run nyn Walk nyy Swim ynn y=yes n=no m=maybe
I am looking for help in developing steps in a spreadsheet to calculate a sum based on a few conditions. The basis of my spreadsheet works fine, however I am trying to add the contents of a cell to another by checking other cells.
For example:
Cells A1:A10 contain a numerical sequence (1-10 respectively) to indicate a "Node"
Cells B1:B10 contain a user selected number (1-10) which defines the Node it is fed from. We'll call this "Fed From Node".......ie. If Cell B2=1, that means that Node 2 is fed from Node 1.
Cells C1:C10 contain a value which is input by the user. We'll call this "Amps"
Cells D1:D10 would show the total "Amps" of the current cell added to all others that are fed from same.
What I am ultimately trying to figure out is how to add the "Amps" to each "Node" and show the results in column D.
More specifically if the spreadshet looks like the following: ...
it counts data in columns 4 to Endxlright and then creates a graph based on the status. I'm sure there is redundant code in there but can't seem to shorten it myself.
Option Explicit Dim vEndCol, vTotal, nFail, nOth, vRow, vCol, nExc, nSum, n, x Dim Mth As Integer Dim Cell As Range Dim vMth, vstMth, vstart, nOK, xRow, vStatus, wks, Chart
Private Sub Calcs() Sheets("Report").Activate 'Clear previous data and formats Range(Cells(2, 2), Cells(51, 30)).ClearContents Range(Cells(2, 2), Cells(51, 30)).ClearFormats Sheet1.Activate 'Identify last row of data Range("IV8").End(xlToLeft).Select vEndCol = ActiveCell.Column 'variables for all data...................
I would like to write a macro that would count observations from a database extract based on specific conditions and generate a report.
My database extract looks like this :
Client name Info1 Info2 Info3
Bob aaa aaa aaa
[Code] ....
I would like to have an efficient and simple VBA code to count the observations. Something that would store the result of query like those:
# 'client name' = Bob : 2 # 'client name' = Bob AND info1 = aaa : 1 # Info3 = bbb : 2 # 'client name' = Bob and Info1 = aaa OR Info1 = bbb : 2
I am aware of DCOUNT function, but I am not too sure how to translate it in VBA. I also think that using autofilter and counting the visible rows may be subject to bugs.
It worked for a short time but now I am having problems running it. I get an excel error that says excel can't continue. Someone said in a previous post that this could be cleaned up and consolidated. how to clean this up. It took me forever to get this right.
I'm developing a spreadsheet that is generating relatively simple source code. As far as excel is concerned, based on columns of data in the first sheet, generate other sheets - conceptually straightforward, but the formulas are getting stupid long. For example, suppose I have 4 columns:
Needs A, Needs B, Needs C, and Needs D.
If there is a "Y" in any of these columns, I need to generate corresponding text that is concatenated together:
=if(a1=="Y") use "Field1[if1]" =if(b1=="Y") use "Field2[if2]" =if(c1=="Y") use "Field3[if3]" =if(d1=="Y") use "Field4[if4]"
The result in some other column could be (samples):
- if there is a trailing field, then I need a period separating the two.
Needing this separating period between some of the columns is driving me bat crap crazy. My approach to this point is to build work sheets that feed the main page, thus isolating the logic complexity. This seems to be the only way to segment the processing into something one can edit.
Instead of typing out my code hundreds of times, I would like to replace it with an abbreviation or variable(?). Here is my example. If I have this in the wrong place please let me know. I want to replace Activecell.Interior.Colorindex with ACIC. I tried to Dim ACIC as range, variant, string...to no avail. In combination I Set ACIC = Activecell.Interior.Colorindex and that didn't work. I have been toiling with VBA for a year and I am still trying to learn the terminology and understand it so please forgive me if I seem really NOOBIE. :-)
I have a worksheet ("ALL JOBS") with huge row data and the row data will vary every day. My problem is there will be a lot of blank cells which I need to fill manually and its tacking lot of time of mine.
Code to fill these blank cells automatically with some specific texts based on the attached conditions.
I have attached the workbook for more details. FillCellsTest.xlsm
I'm using the formula '=LEFT(A2,4)+0 to shorten a numbered line of text.Is there a way to adopt that formula to do the same thing to an alphanumeric line of text (i.e. 80A0267AA1 to read 80A0267) or even better substitute a "-" in place of the "A" (i.e. 80A0267AA1 to read 80-0267)? I know this is really picky, but I figure it's worth a shot.
I got a list of counties in Texas, but the list is in mixed case and always has a " County" after each one. I got it converting to upper case, and have tried removing the " County" but no luck. Below is the code I have:
Code: Sub TEXAS() For a = 1 To 254 R = "D" & a i = "a" & a ActiveSheet.Range(R) = UCase(ActiveSheet.Range(i)) Next a End Sub
I am trying to work with conditional formatting to turn a field a specific color based on two conditions, one of which is variable. The first condition is a list of ongoing events (which can change) and the second condition is a set of known milestones. I want to create a control (check boxes?) that will turn a given field (which has dates in it from another calculation) to either Red, Yellow, or Green.
I was thinking two Dropdown boxes - one for the events and one for the milestones. The user would choose an event, choose the milestone, then choose a checkbox or something to change the color of a field elsewhere in the spreadsheet. Right now, I'm doing this in a very clumsy way by having three checkboxes for each milestone for each event. There are five milestones per event (so 15 checkboxes per event on Sheet2). I will likely have 70+ events so I was hoping for a better way to do this. I've done this for the first three events and need a more efficient way of doing this.
See the attachment : Event Milestones based on Go Date Uploadable.xlsx
I have a spreadsheet which is linked to several other worksheets. I have managed to include formulas to count how many cells have numbers between 101 and 5000 by using this formula -
=sum((h2:h500>=101)*(h2:h500<=5000))
but now I want to count the number of cells in another worksheet that are equal to or less than zero. When I use the same formula as above it counts all the blank cells. I have tried using a countblank formula and then deducting this from the result, but unless the other worksheet is open the countblank formula does not work.
I have a macro that works but was wondering if there is an easier way to shorten up the part of the code that is very repetitive with an array or ? Nothing I have tried works except the code below.
Code: Sub ClearAndReset() Dim WS1 As Worksheet Set WS1 = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Stocks") WS1.Unprotect Application.EnableEvents = False With WS1
I am using VBA to create a word document (.docx). This word document contains plain text content controls as well as picture content controls. I then use VBA to automatically select a picture based on the code below
Code: Set oCC = Word.ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTitle("TabPic").Item(1) On Error GoTo TabErrorHandler oCC.Range.InlineShapes.AddPicture Filename:="X:XFERANDREW-TDCD " & LblVL &
[Code].....
After the document has been closed down I try to open it again and I am told "The file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents."
When I click details it says "Unspecified error" and "Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 0"
If I click ok it says "Word found unreadable content in "". Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If you turst the source of this document, click Yes.
Clicking Yes opens the document with all the contents and it is now renamed to Document 1. If I click no it does not open.
I have number in cell (A1) = 100. when I enter number in any cell of column(B) for example (B1)=10. then in cell (C1) the result of (A1) - (B1) = (90) and if I add in cell (B2)=10 then in cell (C1) the result of (A1) - (B1+B2) = 80 .accumulatively in cell (C1). and any number in column (B), the result will be (A1) minus any number in column(B) accumulated in (C1)
second question
I have number in cell (A1) = 100. when I enter number at cell (B1) = 10 then the result would be in the adjacent cell (C1) = (A1) - ( B1) = 90 and If I enter a new number in cell (B2) = 10 then the result would be in the adjacent cell (C2) = (A1) - (B1+B2) = 80 and If I enter a new number in cell (B3) = 10 then the result would be in the adjacent cell (C3) = (A1) - (B1+B2+B3) = 70 and so on. I want the result to be add automatically to adjacent cell in column (C)
