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 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?

Textbox With Characters To Calculate

Nov 13, 2008

I have an userform say frmNew. In the form, I have three textboxes: txtCost, txtRate, txtSale.
The following two boxes are filled by a user:
txtCost contain the Cost of an item (numbers)
txtRate contain the % Rate (3 character), i.e. the txtRate can contain only A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I and J. The corresponding value is 1,2,....9,0 respsctively.

The value for txtSale is generated on clicking the command button i.e. txtSale = (txtCost + (txtCost * txtRate)).
Could you please help in writing a macro for calculating txtSale value.

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.

Formatting TextBox And Check Which TextBox Is The Active TextBox In The Loop

May 18, 2006

I am attempting to format some TextBoxes from within a For/Next loop. I need a way to check which TextBox is the active TextBox in the loop. Using i as the variable, I came up with this code snippet: Me.Controls("TB" & i).Text = Format("TB" & i, "mm/dd/yy")

If i = 3, this gives me in TextBox3 (which is called TB3) the text 'TB3' and not the value of what is in TB3. It has got to bo something simple, I just can't see it!!!
