I am trying to fill a textbox with a value from a different worksheet.
I can seem to get it to work whichever way i write it.
Also is there a way I could reference this from a different (closed) workbook
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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to search through an excel worksheet using the code below. I have a Form containg a text boxes and a command button (SearchTxt, FindCmd). The VBA program is able to search through XL but (1) It does not set the next value or text in a the worksheet active
(2) It only finds a value or text as an entire cell and not as a set of characters in a cell.
I tried to use Cells.Find method that solves the above problems, but i get an error message-Object variable not set (91) .
Private Sub FindCmd_Click()
Dim Rng1 As Variant
If SearchTxt.Text = "" Then
MsgBox "Please enter Vendor Number.", vbOKOnly, "Error"
End If
Set Rng1 = Range("A1:F10000").Find(what:=SearchTxt.Text, Lookat:=xlWhole, _

I have been having problems referencing text in a worksheet.
I tried cleaning it, didn'twork.
When I do T() some cells come back empty. I don't know why?
How do I get the text?
I’m building a data logger and all the info from data logger goes to sheet1 using serial port. I need to separate log1, log2, log3 to each individual sheet. Log1 must be copied to sheet2, Log2 must be copied to sheet3 and etc. The reason I need to separate Logs into different sheets so I can create charts for each Log automatically. Also I don’t know how big each log can be. Here is sample data what I’m getting to sheet1. I can change my datalogger to output text log1, log2, log3 to any numbers such as 9999 to make it easier. I need your help to be able sort out each data Log to each worksheet.
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi all, first up I'm a total novice but I'm trying to populate a worksheet from a text file, but here's the kicker, I'd need specific lines of the text file to populate specific columns.
None of the text files will contain the same data, but, they will all have the same related data on the same lines. So I'd like to see:
.txt file 1 line 1 > Worksheet A:1
.txt file 1 line 6 > Worksheet B:1
.txt file 1 line 12 > Worksheet C:1
.txt file 2 Line 1 > Worksheet A:2
.txt file 2 Line 6 > Worksheet B:2
etc.
Everything needs to go into the same worksheet. Some .txt files won't have any data in the specified lines so skipped if blank, or just blank data copied.
I need to run through about 1300 .txt files in a directory in this fashion, can it be done?
I have an Excel file that has several worksheets. One of the worksheets is a letter and one is an envelope. Instead of typing the name address twice I need to have th name and address info repeated onto the envelope each time I use enter info in the letter. I know how to do this with a formula but not with a text.

But can I make it work - or must you get each row one by one ?
I want to find a text "Style#" in a worksheet and return the value next to "Style#". The value is supposed to be returned in, say, column H, for each row I found the text "Style#".

How about if I have a long string of numbers that I want to display in another worksheet. For example, here is an item id off eBay, that I want displayed in another worksheet if it is present, otherwise, it should be blank. Here is the item id, they are all unique by the way.... 230092645222. I tried to use this formula below but it didn't work.

I have a spreadsheet which is an extract from another application's DB, and it's just ugly in Excel. No nice neat columns etc. Data from some tables of the other application were just dumped into cells. Some of the data I need is scattered about the worksheet in various cells. There are no seperators that are common, no common length of text strings I could use to pull every X word etc.
The one common thread I am working with here, is the the data I need to extract ALL begins with the first 4 letters, and containers a total of 8 characters. For example:
A3 - The dogs collar had the name ABCD1234 on it
J9 - Today I found a dog collar at the store, and it read ABCD2345
c5 - It says ABCD3456
I'm trying to basically see if there is a way/function within excel that can go through all of the cells and extract anything that says ABCD? (and the 4 wildcards after it)
The Find all function finds them all, but trying to just extract the data ABCD? info.
Any better way than to look up all 300 + rows and see if row already exist.
I need the macro to look if row A as matching text then see if texte matches in Column B, if yes then add new columns and copy entire row. If no match found add new row and copy content to sheet #2.
I don't want it to overwrite the existing information already in sheet 2
Sheet1 has 500+ rows and 30+ columns of data, sorted by text in column G (last name). I want to create a data input sheet for users to manually key in data. I need help to create a macro to cut and insert the row from the data input sheet into Sheet1 - the first row after it finds a match in column G. The text in G can only be one of ten different "last names".
It needs to be after the first event because of graphing from the data sheet.
Need toretrives 2 column values from an excel sheet and write it as a text file.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to look up a cell and do an index lookup on the worksheet with that cells text. Eg.
=index('B2'!A2:E500,match(1,('B2'!A2:A500=E2)*('B2'!C2:C500=D2),0),5).
Where 'B2'! is the worksheet I want to lookup. If cell B2 contained BAZ, the index would lookup worksheet BAZ. If B2 contained TAZ, the index would lookup worksheet TAZ.
How can I use (with or without macro) cell text to refer to different worksheets inside a formula. For example I've formula =INDEX(Mary!B9:E17...) but I wanted to write that 'Mary' or whatever sheet name to a cell in one sheet and sheet refenrence in this index-formula would change accordingly.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHow to automatically update textbox text from worksheet.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to change the text in a textbox which is on a worksheet (i.e. not a vba textbox). I recorded a macro and this is what I got:
Code:
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("txtAppBy")).Select
Selection.ShapeRange(1).TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters.Text = _
" Mytext"
I tried to combine them into one line by doing
Code:
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("txtAppBy")).ShapeRange(1).TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters.Text = _
" Mytext"
but excel was not happy with me. Is there a way to cleanly write this code?
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 put together an excel sheet for how how long a part is on a particular machine. If there are multiple operations on a machine, I separated the operation times with a comma in the cell. I am now trying to get a sum of the total time the part is in a machine. I cannot just use a sum since the commas change the format from number to text. I was hoping I could do a substitution where I change the commas to plus signs and stick an equal sign in front of it and somehow get it to be recognized as a formula instead of a text string. Even then, I would still have to do a sum for the entire row. This is what I have as an example
_______Machine 1______Machine 2______Machine 3_______Machine 4_______Machine 5________Total Time
Part 1 _____20________ 10, 10, 10_________________________________________________________50
Part 2 ____15 ____________30____________________________10_______________________________55
Part 3_______________________________5, 15, 60, 10________________________5________________95
I need a column for summing the row of times (Machine Time). It doesn't need to be a one-cell solution. If I need to add a sheet to the file to do operations on the data that is fine. Again, I do not want to use VBA code. I already have a solution in VBA and am trying to do it in the worksheet only. I can get a substitution working to get a single cell into a format like 10+10+10, but that's the easy part of the battle.
The Workbooks.OpenText works for me, but I need to import the text file into one worksheet of an existing workbook. Is there a method to do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a column in an excel worksheet that contains either desired text or zeros.
What I'd like to be able to do would be to sort this information, (via some VBA code) eliminating the zeros whilst maintaining the original order of the desired text.
ie, as an example
original column : 0, 0, cat, 0, 0 dog, bear.... which I'd like to show in the next column as : cat, dog, bear
I wish to protect a worksheet to prevent loose fingered people from altering formulas, but I want the "text box" that is below these formulas (within the same worksheet) to be able to be typed in.
But when I protect the worksheet, the text box cannot be typed in.
Is there a way around this to allow typing in the text box whilst the sheet is protected?
how i insert text box on excel sheet.
In which i take values from user and then manipulate those values on click event of button.
I need to count the number of times a value appears in a row and assign a number that tells which occurence of the text it is.
For example
Name Address
Jim 123 Smith Street
Jane 123 Smith Street
Bob 543 Apple Street
Mary 543 Apple Street
I would like a way to insert a column that puts a 1 next to Jim and a 2 next to Jane, a 1 next to Bob and a 2 next to Mary and so on.
Ultimately, I want to sort the list and delete all the twos, thus deleting the duplicate address entry.
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

The content of cell "animal!A1" will change according to a simple vlookup table. Let's say the value can be "dog", "cat", or "horse". In cell "animal!A5", I want to duplicate the content either "dog!A5", "cat!A5", or "horse!A5", depending on the current value of "animal!A1".
I've tried to do a simple reference like:
="A1"!A5
or
=A1!A5
wanting the A1 to actually read either dog, cat, or horse so the reference would refer to the worksheet of the same names. This doesn't work, so I need to know if there is a way to do this.
