Text Limitation Work Around?

Feb 15, 2010

I had a happy macro that copy and pasted sheets in an output folder for all excel files from a target file that included the desired changes. it worked fine. then i realized that when pasting a sheet, the text is limited to 250 characters, so an important portion of my sheet (some instructions in various cells) was not coming over. So i created the following which will copy the columns, but some of the row formatting is different and doesn't line up. my questions:

-is there a better way around this text limitation?
-if not, is there a way to copy the row formats for this section and include in my macro?
-is there a way to copy the cells (all or a range) themselves while using "ThisWorkbook", thereby including all the appropriate formating? it seems to not like to do that.

‘Copy columns from target sheet

Sub Perf_rev_subfolder_replace()
'Update the constant here if necessary
Const sOutputFolder As String = "M:ODPerf review2010 oolsTest folder est"
With Application

Text Box Length Limitation

May 8, 2008

i have tried to create a userform thru which data is to be entered. so that the data will be printed on a worksheet. here there are few text boxes, in which the number of digits should be equal to 14. after filling the userform when i click the print button if it is less than or more than 14 a pop up msgbox should be displayed with OK button and the cursor should go back to that particular text box. i have written the following code, but it has a problem. even if the total no of digits are 14 the msgbox is displayed.

say the text box name is Roll no

If txtRollNo.MaxLength 14 Then
MsgBox "Roll No should be of 14 digits", vbInformation + vbOKOnly
txtRollNo.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If

Vba Cell() Text Read Limitation

Oct 20, 2006

I was sure it would be in your archives but couldn't find it - apologies if this is a FAQ.

I am trying to extract the data in a spreadsheet to a bunch of files, one file per cell. The cells I need have very long text strings in them, actually whole HTML files.

Using this

Dim HTML As String
HTML = Cells(RowNdx, ColNdx).text

I can only read 1024 bytes - not nearly enough. Is there something else I can do to read the cell into a string variable?

Excel 2010 :: Match - Text Length Limitation

May 8, 2014

Excel 2007-2010. I'm using match(string, range,0) but there must be a limitation on the length of the string since I know the string is in the range but it returns #value as if it is not found. Is there a VBA solution to get around this without having to loop/cycle through the entire range?

IF Limitation - On Alternative

Jul 23, 2009

I have a lot of data that I need to have organized out but as far as I can tell an IF statement is the only thing that could work. I work at a casino and there are about 6,000 games that I need to be able to sort through. The games are classified by sections A - Q. Each section contains anywhere from 30 - 50 banks, and each bank contains anywhere from 4 - 20 games. This is what I am trying to accomplish.

Have a drop down that lists zones A - Q. If the user chooses A, for the next column to populate with a drop down of all of the banks in A. Then for the user to choose the bank they want and then have the next colum populate a drop down with the games in A>bank1. So basically...

Zone>Bank>Machine

then once you choose the machine, for the columns to the right to auto populate the information on that game such as themes ect.

Zone>Bank>Machine>Information on that machine

I have another sheet that contains the inventory of all of the games that I am using as my "database". I am able to get this working great with IF statements, but I obviously need to be able to use more than 8. Here is my current code...

=IF(A164="A",ABankList,IF(A164="B",BBankList,IF(A164="C",CBankList,IF(A164="D",DBankList,IF(A164="E" ,EBankList,IF(A164="F",FBankList,IF(A164="G",GBankList,IF(A164="H",HBankList))))))))

Rounding Off A No. With Limitation

Sep 20, 2007

Here it is:

I used ceiling and floor for this but it was futile.

I was hoping to round off a no. according to the limitations set,

For example:
Sample Entries Preferred Rounded-off nos.
Cell A1 Cell B1
.40 .40
.39 .40
.38 .40
.37 .35
.36 .35
.35 .35
.34 .35
.33 .35
.32 .30
.31 .30
.30 .30

When using ceiling and floor formulas there was an error prompt telling me that there are too many arguments.

If Function Limitation

Jul 20, 2006

I have a spreadsheet with a drop down box with 30 names in it. On the other worksheets of this file I have budget figures.

What I need is a correct formula so that when I select a name from the drop down box it will grab the figure from a cell in another sheet and place it into the sheet where the drop down box is.

Is it possible to use a formula which grabs more than one cell?

I have been using this formula below:

=IF(B5=1,NNO!C8,IF(B5=2,NSO!C8,IF(B5=3,NWE!C8,IF(B5=4,NCN!C8,IF(B5=5,NCS!C8,IF(B5=6,NHO!C8))))))

It works for one cell at a time- but only allows 7 variables at a time and I have 30.

Which means I would need 4 or 5 drop down boxes in stead of one.

7 Nested If Limitation

Sep 6, 2007

Please see the attached GIF.

I am trying to take information from columns J ("Family Size") and L ("Annual Income"), and figure out how many units should be assigned to columns N ("Very Low Income Units") and O ("Low Income Units").

Essentially, this is what I want to do:

If J2 = 1 and N< 22850, then N2 = F2 and O2 = 0.
If J2 = 2 and N< 26100, then N2 = F2 and O2 = 0.
If J2 = 3 and N< 29400, then N2 = F2 and O2 = 0.

And so on through "8."

I looked at the Nested IF Limitation suggestions on the FAQs . . . it didn't seem like CHOOSE or VLOOKUP would get me where I need to go. Unless VLOOKUP is somehow merged with IF. Does anyone know the easiest way to get this done?

Nested IF Statement Limitation?

Feb 20, 2014

I have a nested IF statement that I am using in an application I am building in Excel. I am using logic to get the current month and then evaluate whether the value is a number. I would like to know if there is a better way to perform what I am trying to accomplish using another function. I am trying to cocantonate the the statements together which has worked in the past but not for this particular function.See Below... The function works if i use 7 IF statements.

=IF(I3="Jan",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("NA",Data!$B$355)),"NA",Data!$B$355),
IF(I3="Feb",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("NA",Data!$C$355)),"NA",Data!$C$355),
IF(I3="Mar",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("NA",Data!$D$355)),"NA",Data!$D$355),

Conditional Format Limitation

Sep 2, 2009

I am working on Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003 excel and am having trouble with my coniditional formats. I need to have 4 but can only have 3. Is there a simplae way around this? if not let me describe what i want to do and maybe there is a coded solution.

In columns N, R, V and Z i will have % increase in sales over a period. Below 0% would be red, between 0-5% is Amber, 5-10 is Green and over 10% is Purple. Is there a simple code that can be applied to this?

I can define the paramteres in excel in the row columns below.

ABC
1Range1Range2

Limitation On String Variables

Aug 2, 2006

I have recently come across a VBA macro, which reads from a text box within an excel input sheet, copy the text content, and send it via email. However, when the text content started to go beyond a certain number of characters, the text that comes out of the email, got truncated. I presumed this is something to do with the limitation to the string variables where the string " messagebody$ " which is used to read the text can only take up a certain bytes.

I was looking for VBA help, and somehow, it mentioned something called a variable-length string. Would that be a solution to my problem, or how is that used ?

Sheets("main").Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Rectangle 1").Select
messagebody = Selection.Characters.Text

....
email.Body = messagebody

Limitation Of 7 Nested IF Statements - Alternate

Apr 27, 2007

I have a workbook with two worksheets, Sheet1 and Sheet2. Sheet2 contains a table of values that need to be input into a cell on Sheet1, pending the results of comparing two other cells on Sheet1. I have 8 possible variations resulting from that comparison and I cannot make this work as the IF statement limits you to 7 deep.

Example:

Sheet1
A1 (text string value) = LOWER
B1 (text string value) = L1
C1 (currency with no decimals) = Sheet2!Somecell (decision of which cell to use depends on combination of A1 and B1)

A1 can be either the string "LOWER" or "MIDDLE". B1 can be the strings "L1", "L2", "L3", or "L4". The strings in B1 are not cell references, but simple text. This leads to four variations for a row that has "LOWER" in it's A column, and the same for "MIDDLE" - totaling 8 possible combinations.

Depending on the combination, I need to input a number from Sheet2 and that number is different for each unique combination of the eight possibilities. There is no mathematical calculation taking place on Sheet2 - just an "if x and y then z" decision on Sheet1. I will use the value of Sheet1!C1 in other math functions on Sheet1.

Row Limitation - Pasting Formula Down A Filtered Range?

Mar 27, 2014

I often end up in a scenario where I want to be able to move text from one column into another using a formula, which involves pasting a formula down a filtered range... E.g. Column A contains both ID numbers & dates, I want to move ID numbers into Column B, so I apply a filter to all ID numbers using a formula "=A1" and paste it down the filtered range.

It becomes an issue when there is greater than 50 - 60 thousand rows - excel throws an error "selection range is too complex" and disregards the filtered range.

Only thing I can think of would be a VBA script to automate pasting a formula in blocks of 50,000 rows.

How Text Boxes Work In Conjunction With CommandButton

Dec 28, 2009

I am trying to make a calculator inside of Excel...learning how Text Boxes work in conjunction with CommandButton. I am trying to code the button to display inside of the text box. I have never coded a text box before to do anything like.

note: For right now i am just looking at being able to click on a button [numbered 0-9] and have them dsplayed inside the text box. After that I want to be able to set up an addition, subtraction, etc button to actually have the math done.
(ie...if Button 1 is clicked, 1 will be displayed, if Button 2 is clicked the display will adjust to show 12, etc etc)

Text Or Number Formatting For VLOOKUP To Work?

Aug 4, 2012

My problem is that my VLOOKUP formula will not return any data when it doesn't like the format of the data it's looking up.

Example: I have a spreadsheet that displays revenues earned by assets.Every month I export a table of data from an accounting software program with (a) asset numbers, (b) invoice date, and (c) monthly revenues.Then I copy the data into Tab 2 of my spreadsheet.On Tab 1 of the spreadsheet there is a table that lists Assets 100 through 120. Column A has all the asset numbers.Each month it varies as to which assets earned revenue and which one's did not. Usually between 10 and 15 assets earn revenue in any given month and about 5 do not earn revenue.On Tab 1 there is a column with VLOOKUP formulas that looks up the asset number in column A of Tab 1 and points to Tab 2 where the data that was exported from the accounting software program is located.Let's say that in July 2012 that Asset 1001 earned $35,000.On certain months, the VLOOKUP formula looks over to tab 2 and "returns" the $35,000 revenue with no problem.On other months, it will not return anything, apparently it does not like the formatting and does not "recognize" the asset number.

Find Method Doesn't Work With Some Text

Jul 24, 2006

I have a spreadsheet with data similar to the following:

12111000 MILK, COW'S, FLUID, LOW PERCENT
27313010 BEEF, NOODLES & VEG (W/ CARROTS/DK GREEN), NO SAUCE
11100000 MILK, NFS
11111000 MILK, COW'S, FLUID, WHOLE

If I use the following code to pass in a string variable and then attempt to find the string it never sees the text in line 2; or any line that contains (). The code is simply a test to try and figure out what i'm doing wrong. The actual goal is to search the entire sheet for text similar to that entered in by the user and then copy every row that contains similar text into another worksheet.

Sub CopyStuff()
strVariable = "car" 'I have tried "*car*" also
With Worksheets(1). Range("b1:b500")
Set c = .Find(strVariable, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstaddress = c.Address
Do
Set c = .FindNext(c)
MsgBox (test)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> firstaddress
test = c.Address

Excel 2010 :: Formula That Will Work With Text And Numbers?

Dec 10, 2013

I am working in Excel 2010 (Windows 8) and am having real problems trying to find a function/formula that will work with both numbers and text. I am trying to identify if the contents of Col A cells and Col C cells on each row are duplicated within a worksheet, and if they are, to add a 'J'.

(Column A is a list of numerical company codes and Column C is a list of adviser codes using the letter A-G. If a company ID code has more than one of the same adviser codes referenced to it, it is termed 'Joint', hence the 'J').

The formula I've used is: =IF(A2:C2, FREQUENCY>1, "J")

But it tells me 'numbers only'.

Excel 2010 :: Limitation On Formula To Create List Of Unique Items

Jan 21, 2014

Excel 2010. There is a limit to the usability of the

=INDEX($A$1:$A$1000,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($A$1:$A$1000,"<"&$A$1:$A$1000),0))

method. It seems like the limitation is in the Countif function going over 1000 (or some other size limit)

I have a list of ~1500 rows, of that there are approximately 55 unique items. Doing the unique array works correctly up until item ~40, upon which it fails by returning the 1st item only (for the rest).

Trying to debug, and pulling out the Match section, it functions up until 976 (that is

MATCH(0,COUNTIF($N$1:$N40,$C$3:$C$1500),0)

returns 976) anything after returns just 1 (1st item).

It seems to be a limitation on the text string size that COUNTIF can handle.
