Text To Columns Fine Except When Using VBA
Jan 13, 2009I have a column on my sheet, Column B which is full of dates. I need to do text to columns because the way the date comes in doesn't make it easy for my macro to work with.

Sheet Opens Fine But Behind Other Sheets?
Feb 18, 2013I have the following macro which basiclly acts as a refresh button on a read only sheet:
Code:
Sub CloseMe()
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:05"), "OpenMe"
ThisWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True
End Sub
Sub OpenMe()
End Sub
The sheet is read only as it is used by many people and it prevents them damaging the sheet. The sheet is updated regularly and as many people who use the sheet have little excel knowledge a refresh button was required. The macro is attached to a button that when clicked, it closes the sheet, then reopens it meaning any updates I add to the sheet can then be seen by everyone else once they click the button - much like 'Refresh'.
So, the code above works fine. Click the button, the sheet closes, 5 seconds later reopens. However, when the sheet reopens, any other excel sheets that are open seem to be at the front and the sheet that has been 'reopened' is behind them. Is there anything I can do to make the macro not only close and reopen the sheet, but when it does reopen, bring it to the front so that it is visible straight away without having to click Window and then select the appropriate sheet?
Macro Runs Fine In Debug But Not From ComboBox
Feb 24, 2009I have a workbook that contains 9 worksheets. Four of the worksheets have the same row lables in column B and must always be the same. Three of the worksheets are fed from the 4th sheet so that the integrity of the lables is maintained.
The user can change the lable value to meet their needs and they can insert or delete rows (within limits) as they see fit.
The attached macro "Sub Delete_Row_All_Sheets()" works fine when I run it from Debug (F8).
However, when I run it from Forms.ComboBox the macro returns to the "y = Application.InputBox("Enter The Row Number You Wish To Delete", _" screen. If I select cancel, the results I anticipated occur but I don't want the user to have to assume this will happen.
Why does the macro return to this screen when executed from the ComboBox but not when executed from Debug?
Excel Code Works Fine But Error When Called From Access?
Apr 11, 2012This code works fine when I run it in Excel.

I get the error "Run-time error 440: The specified dimension is not valid for the current chart type" why I am getting this. The macro does everything I want it to, except for throwing the error at the end.
Macro Doesn't Work On Button, But Fine From Macro Menu!
Dec 15, 2008I've recorded a macro that copies an entire tab into a new spreadsheet then goes on the copy and paste information from one tab to another.
When I run the macro from the Tools>Macros menu it works perfectly.
But when I copy the code and add it to that of a button it fails and posts the following error: Run-time error '1001': Select method of Range class failed.
The first attachement shows the code for the macro as it is alone, and the second shows how I simply copied and pasted it into the 'view code' window of the button.
Needless to say I'm a beginner at macros and only every record them, I can usually make stuff work that way but this has me stumped!
Text File Import With Text To Columns Splitting Same Text Differently
Nov 21, 2007I have a macro which imports data from a mainframe dump text file and performs 'Text to Columns' on the imported data so that formula in the spreadsheet can act on the data. The code works perfectly well when I use it, but if a different user logs on and performs exactly the same mainframe dump and import macro the Text to Columns action splits the raw data in a different way and the result is that the split renders the formulae useless.
I've experimented a little and for some reason it appears that the 'Field Info' parameters which are produced when the Text to Columns function is recorded in a macro differ between users even though the raw data is exactly the same.
FieldInfo:= _
Array(Array(0, 1), Array(18, 1), Array(35, 1), Array(56, 1), Array(70, 1), Array(88, 1), _
Array(102, 1))
Excel 2013 :: Set One Columns Text To Color Based On Another Columns Results?
Apr 9, 2014how to set one entire columns text to two different colors based on another columns values. So for example I have column A and B. Column A has two values called Internal and External. Column B is a title table so the entire column is just titles. We'll say it goes for 20 rows if you need a row count. What I am looking to do change the text in Column B to Red for External and Blue for Internal. I tried the conditional formatting and I just can't seem to find the right option.
I'm using Win 8.1, Office 2013.

Extracting Strings Of Text From Columns Of Data(text)
Apr 23, 2007What I have is a column of data(text) which contains amongst all the text three strings of text in ever cell in the column which I require copying into three adjoining cells
The data I require is :-
(a) The persons name which is always after the word ‘Requester’ e.g. Requester Steve Robinson
(b) Their office location which is directly after the persons name and is in brackets e.g. (Newcastle User)
(c) The Approving persons name which is preceded by ‘Approved by’ e.g. Approved by Christine Hunting
See examples 1 & 2 below
Example 1

Please provide support to set up Cisco 2691 Router and PIX-506E Firewall to enable external connection of a remote terminal for project work.
As you will appreciate the text in the cells is of non standard lenght and the three pieces of information can be located virtually any where in the text

Text To Columns :: Macro To Split Text
Jun 17, 2008I am trying to write a micro code to split text which is copied into cell A1 into columns. I can do this fine by going to "data" the "text to Columns" and selecting the places i want to split the text (this is the same for every piece of data i copy in).
The macro works perfectly every time. the problem is that the spreadsheet is shared and i want to protect certain cells on the sheet, when i protect the sheet the recorded macro does not work as the "data", "text to columns" is not available in a protected workbook.
I was just wondering if someone could help me, so i can run a macro to split the text which also allows me to protect cells. In the "text to column" option the "fixed width" (column breaks) i choose are: 4, 25, 34 and 43.

Text In One Column But NOT By Text To Columns
Dec 6, 2006I've had this issue a couple of times and can't work out an easy way to deal with it.
I have text data in one column.
Name
Add1
Add2
City
Pcode
Manager
Name
Add1
Add2
City
Pcode
Manager
etc
How do I extract Row 1 into Column 1, R2-C2,... R7-C1, R8-C2?
To make it more tricky what if there isn't a consistent amount of data, ie sometimes I'll have Manager name (6 rows of data) and sometimes I won't (5 rows of data) and then the next collection of data will have it again.
Does this make sense?

Split Text Into Columns?

Sum Of Top 10 Numbers If 2 Columns Contain Text?

Column D2 contains the word CAR
I have used two cells to do this when column A is RED, however i cant figure out how to add in a filter for Column B (D2 CAR).
1st column cell E1 contains: =LARGE((A:A=D1)*C:C,10)
2nd column cell F1 contains: =SUMIFS(C:C, C:C,">="&E1,B:B,"="&'Sales Summary'!D1)
formula thats easier or able to filter for the above?
