Strange Characters Equal EOF

May 28, 2006

I made a userform that spits out 'logs' in a more readable easy to understand. It basically shoves everything into a nicely organized list box.

I have a load button that if pressed accepts .csv's

It works perferctly for practically every type of .csv that contains these logs however 1/100 times the logs contain korean or chinese characters which cause the program to crash.

I gone through some debugging and I found out that the characters that cause it to crash happen to equal the EOF character. So not only does it spit an error on that line, it stops loading anything after that point.

Here is my CheckFileSize function that runs first to tell me how long I should make my list.


Private Function CheckFileSize(ByVal TempFileName) As Double
Dim TempData As String
Dim SizeCount As Double

how to do this besides loading it into a worksheet first?

Strange Characters Pasting To Textbox

Dec 20, 2006

it is a very simple marco. It contains a textbox input within a user form. The only problem I have is, when I use CRTL-V to paste some text into the textbox, it has a wired character attached to the end of the text.

for example, I highlighted an email address (ex. abc@abc.com) from an email, use CRTL-C to copy, and I make sure that there is no space after the .com, and after I pasted using CRTL-V to the textbox, a wired character, like a reversed P sign..... very much like the carriage return in MS Word, would anyone know how to avoid that or disable that extra character?

Strange INDEX Phenomena?

Oct 8, 2009

INDEX(Sheet1!$F$2:$F$10,0,1) returns #VALUE!
INDEX(Sheet1!$F$2:$F$100,0,1) returns 110 (e.g.)
As Both index have zero(0) for its row reference (row_num) I would expect both formulas to return #VALUE! (or even #REF!)

Strange Thing Only On One Computer Running This XLS

Feb 4, 2009

Copy of the scaled down Workbook are enclosed. Password is "j". Sheet("Final Schedule") is one of 11 sheets in the Workbook. Range("a10: BE120") is copied from another Sheet and pasted.

ISSUE BACKGROUND: Entries into cells are Data Validation and a drop down on each cell. In cells C15, 16, 17, 18 or O15, 16, 17, 18 First time the Sheet is opened: user has no problem if they select a D from the drop down.

ISSUE:
But if user types in D and hits enter key, contents of G10: M10 (merged cells) is copied into that cell. Any thoughts on where to check or what settings to check? It only happens on that one computer.

Referencing To CSV File In Strange Format

Oct 21, 2009

I am working on an excel dashboard to display life information about energy consumption.

there is currently a bespoke syatem which does this but we need the dashboard to be changed so the job has fallen to me.

Energy usage across the site is recorded in a spreadsheet (automatically) every half an hour and is saved in a folder named CSV data, however the files are saved in a format which i assume is something for the current package: *.ew7

I can open and view the data by clicking "open as" and selecting excel.

I can reference to this data from another excel spreadsheet (dashboard) whilst they are both open it will update.

However when i close all spreadsheets and open just the dashboard it tells me that the links cannot be updated.

I need a solution or a way around this so i can reference from one workbook to another.

Has anyone had any experience of this kind of thing? can anyone offer a humble analyst a bit of advice?

I was not able to attach the file here (as its in the ew7 format) but i have uploaded it to rapidshare for anyone who wants to take a look...

Increase In Decimals Returns Strange Result

Jul 21, 2006

I have discovered a strange thing about excel and it is driving me mad and ruining my project.

Basically, If i enter the number 97.4 into cell A1 and then 97.165 into cell B1 and then enter the formula =A1-B1 into cell C1 i get the answer 0.235. Which is correct.

However, when you increase the number of decimal places to 30 the answer that is returned is 0.234999999999999000000000000000.

This calculation result seem to fluctuate wildly depending on the primary numbers in cells a1 and b1. Very rarely have i seen the full 30 decimal places without a bizarre result like this.

Maybe it has been too many years since i was at school and that i am confused with my numbers and that there is a real easy answer to why this result is returned.

As i said it is ruining my project that i am working on. Can anyone help? Why does excel do this? Is there a way to stop this happening? My project relies on this answer to be correct. Is there a way to force excel to stop doing this?

Macro Worked For 2 Years, Suddenly Started Giving Strange Results

Jan 20, 2009

I have a VBA macro that I pieced together* a couple of years ago to help with a pretty simple task. We have two excel sheets that pull in information daily from different sources. The macro copies and paste values for the worksheet, then 1) saves a copy of the values only worksheet with the current date, 2) resaves the values only worksheet as a .csv file that is then manually uploaded into our database.

Values Which Are Equal Not Treated Equal

Jul 5, 2007

I'm having trouble with a small vba macro. At the end of the macro I test to see if two variables are equal and then print out true or false. However, for some reason even though the variables are equal vba is not treating them that way. I have put the values that represent the variables on a spreadsheet and used the if(x1=x2) formula and it says it is true, also, when I debug the macro and watch the values when it comes to test the logical expression the numbers are the same. I don't understand why vba does not say that the two variables are equal. I have attached a screenshot of the breakpoint where I double check the values are equal.

Count If A Cell Is Equal To Cell In Different Spreadsheet And Is Less Or Equal Zero

Apr 17, 2014

How to correct my formula because it does not work?

Here the formula: =COUNTIFS(Data!C2:C24005,A17,Data!M2:M11149,"<=0")

I need to insert the formula in column C (Findings tab) which counts the rows in Column M (tab named "Data") that equal A17 (Column A in "Findings" tab) and which are less or equal zero. In addition if I drag the formula down I want to only the values be entered in highlighted in blue cells in column C (SKUs With Zero Sales in "Findings" tab) and empty cells in not highlighted cells. I attached images of these two tabs: Data and Findings.

Take X Characters From One Cell And Y Characters From The Next?

Aug 1, 2014

So we have people's names in a table. First name in one column and last name in another column. We have a 3rd column where we can use 8 characters to do a combination of First 5 of Last Name + first 3 of first name. However, if someone's last name is only 3 or 4 characters, we'd then want to take more from the first name to fill out the 8 characters.

So:
Charles Johnson -> Johnscha
John Smith -> Smithjoh
Willian Wu -> Wuwillia

What's the best way to do that without creating some crazy formula with tons of if/thens?

Equal To Or Less Than

Mar 18, 2008

I have a quite complex list of variables to put into a formula to come up with the correct number and I need some help to figure this one out. I don't know if it would be easier to set up a chart and then index the chart to do a lookup or how I need to go about doing this to achieve the most efficent solution.

I need the following to go into one formula:

1. =< 24 needs to show the number 24
2. =< 30 but > 24 needs to show 30
3. =< 32 but > 30 needs to show 32
4. =< 36 but > 32 needs to show 36
5. =< 40 but > 36 needs to show 40
6. =< 48 but > 40 needs to show 48
7. =< 50 but > 48 needs to show 50
8. =< 60 but > 50 needs to show 60
9. => 60 needs to show 60

I am trying to set up a spread sheet to figure square footage of plastic laminate countertops, but the plastic laminate only comes in several stock sizes : 3x8, 4x8, 5x8
3x10, 4x10, 5x10
3x12, 4x12, 5x12

So if I have a countertop that is 25 sq ft., I cant use a 3x8 (24 sq. ft), so I need to go up to the next size which would be a 4 x 8.

I might need to use a ROUNDUP function with this formula too? I already have cells set up to figure the depth, backsplash height, and front edge height and then give me the squage footage of that.

If Equal To Or Less Than Formula

Oct 31, 2009

I am trying to set a scorecard up where it will give points depending on the % actual. For example:

if less than 60%, then 0,
if equal to or greater than 60% but less than 75%, then 1
if equal to greater than 75% but less than 80%, then 2 and so on.

I have been playing around with the example below, but can't seem to get it working.

[php]=IF(A1<60%,0,IF(A1>A1<75%,1,))[php]

Maybe it 's because I pickled my brains last night.

Not Equal To Operator

revised this code to reflect the "not equal to". I want the user to only enter "In" or "Out." Therefore, If cells b19:B26 does not have either word, then the message box will prompt the user to enter the correct word again. I think my code needs to be revised into some kind of loop.

Sum IF (2 Equal Values)

Oct 19, 2008

I've created the following function that chooses the maximum value from a set of cells then inserts theappropriate row number (within a table) into a new cell.

=IF(J27=0,"?",IF(J27=J19,1,IF(J27=J20,2,IF(J27=J21,3,IF(J27=J22,4,IF(J27=J23,5,IF(J27=J24,6,IF(J27=J 25,7,IF(J27=J26,8)))))))))

It's working fine until I have 2 cells with the highest value. The above statement is entering the first cell that meets the criteria in the new cell but ignores the fact there maybe 2 (or more) of the same value.

How can I get both (or all) to be entered in the same cell? Is there a better way, maybe highlighting all the rows in the table that equal the max figure?

How To Get Words To Equal A Number

Mar 10, 2014

How to recreate the formulas used in my old database. One important factor is that:


In the old database, once you type in a word, it associates it to a number, and also adds that number in a further row. how do i do this?.

EXAMPLE:
- i have the word "sitter" that = 10.25$. If i enter "sitter" in column F, it enters 10.25$ in column M.
- Likewise, i can also have the word "private" that = 13.50$. If i enter "private" in column F, it enters 13.50$ in column M.
