Using an excel file sent to me to fill out. File is 97-2003. When I type in text it shows up in the cell. However when I click to another cell the text in the previous cell turns to ########. I can double click it and the text reappears. I am unable to print the spreadsheet as I can only see the text when that cell is active...when I move to another cell to enter more text...can't print.
View 9 RepliesI am writing some VB code to change a comma separated text to individual columns
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("O14"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=True, Space:=False, Other:=True, OtherChar:= _
"*", FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 1), Array(3, 1), Array(4, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
When I run the macro, it asks me if I want to replace the contents of the destination cells. How do I get rid of this prompt? I have tried to clear the contents of the cells prior to running the macro, and have also coded:
Application.AlertBeforeOverwriting = False
but, it still prompts me.
I have a "data" sheet that holds information on it and another sheet that has a printable form that uses formulas to extract and calculate the info based on what is entered into the user form. The issue I have having is in a certain number of cells, the formula is being replaced with the result. There are other cells that have the exact same formula and are fine. I can’t figure out why these certain cells are doing this.
There are no control sources overriding the data and I can’t see anything in the code that relates to these cells?
Replaced the period with a colon, 8.23 resulted in 8:23. I have since deleted the Add In. Now every time I enter a "." it is replaced by a ":". This happens even when I disable macros on the spreadsheet. I cannot see any VBA code.

Here is the background information for what I am looking to achieve:
I have two spreadsheets I am working with. The first spreadsheet, the "What Computer has User Logged Onto Log" spreadhseet, dynamically imputs and displays data from the log file of a logon script: the date (column B), time (column C), computer name (column D), username (column E) and IP address (column F). The second spreadsheet, the "Quick Computer Jump Spreadsheet", has many pieces of information (including the computer name (column F) and computer description/room number (column P) -- which are the two important pieces of information there).
Yesterday I found a tip that allows for VLOOKUP via two different spreadsheets. Specifically to have the computer description/room number column (P) information from the "Quick Computer Jump Spreadsheet" filled in as column G in the "What Computer has User Logged Onto Log" spreadsheet. It was this formula here: =VLOOKUP(D3,'C:Documents and SettingsMeDesktopQuick Computer Jump Spreadsheet[Quick Computer Jump.xls]PCs'!$F$12:$P$234,11,FALSE)
This was great because it meant not having to copy and paste the computer description and room number information into the spreadsheet I want to apply the VLOOKUP to and means I don't have to maintain and update the computer description and room number information in multiple locations, whenever that information changes. This formula worked beautifully, seems to be every bit as quick (with no visible lag) as when calling for the information from inside the same spreadsheet. In the case of dynamic data I could even use the Fill Formula all the way down to the bottom of the spreadsheet so that as other fields were filled, so was the computer description and room column. In short, it pretty much did everything I wanted it to
The next challenge I set for myself then was to see if I could get rid of the annoying #N/A when data wasn't found by the VLOOKUP function. Especially in those cases where I filled down below the last row in my spreadsheet in order to have the computer description/room number information automatically filled in as the other columns (A-F) are filled in.
I did some additional research and found this tip (here: http://www.mrexcel.com/archive2/47600/55248.htm). Using this information I was able to revise my original formula so that it now looks like this:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(D3,'C:Documents and SettingsMeDesktopQuick Computer Jump Spreadsheet[Quick Computer Jump.xls]PCs'!$F$12:$P$234,11,FALSE)),"",(VLOOKUP(D3,'C:Documents and SettingsMeDesktopQuick Computer Jump Spreadsheet[Quick Computer Jump.xls]PCs'!$F$12:$P$234,11,FALSE)))
This works but is unfortunately much slower than the first (I presume because of the double VLOOKUP required in order to compare and then execute?). Up to 30 to 45 second delays when the "What Computer has User Logged Onto Log" spreadsheet is refreshed.
I found the webpage info, here: http://www.mrexcel.com/td0110.html that had the following alternative ways to write the above formula that don't require the double lookup, thus making them much faster and more efficient to use. The problem here is the examples given are for absolute searches instead of non-absolute like my formula above and I have been unable to figure out how (or if) I can adapt any of these solutions to my own.
Does anybody know of any other way I might be able to write my formula above, to receive the same result, without having to do the double lookup, and thus decreasing the 30-45 second delay every time the spreadsheet goes out to update the computer description and room number information?
I have a master workbook (that I will call 'A') with a number of links to other workbooks ('B' to 'Z'). 'A' is designed to collate and display the data held in workbooks 'B' to 'Z'. The links all work fine until the 'B' to 'Z' workbooks are updated with new data, at which point, the links break with a "Error: source not found" error.
This is caused by the process by which we update the 'B' to 'Z' workbooks. We have to delete them, and replace them with new files, that have the same name.
Is there any VBA code or something that I could run that will update the links to pick up the new files?
I'm trying to solve a strange problem in a piece of code.
I have a variable that is define as Double called STD. When i try to insert that variable in a formula the decimal sign (for me a comma "," because I'm Portuguese) gets converted to ";" (which is for me the separation sign for the expressions in excel formulas. ex: AND(A1>0;B1>0)=TRUE). The code is:
01. I want to Type "Al Raha Pharmacy" in a cell
02. When I type "Al Raha" and I press space, then the word automatically changed to "Al Rahma"
03. I tried this in other cells also but the result is same.
1. Search an excel sheet "column" for a particular type of text and insert values based on that text (if found) in another column.
e.g I have column A1 to A10 with different types of text. I would like to search for the keyword "Risk is high" OR "Risk=High" for each cell in the column and insert a "1" if found beside it's corresponding "B" column. If not found, I would like to insert a "0".
So, if the text "Risk is high" OR "Risk=High" was only found in A6, I would like B6 to be "1". Rest of the values in the B column would be "0's", since the text was not found in any of the other cells.
I 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))
I'm trying to get something like - If a cell contains certain text AND certain text then display set text OR If a cell contain certain text AND certain text then display set text.
For example:
Vauxhall Corsa 1.5Litre Petrol = vauxhall corsa petrol
Vauxhall Corsa 1.5Litre Deisel = vauxhall corsa Deisel
Vauxhall Nova 1 litre Petrol = vauxhall nova petrol
So it the formula is effectively searching for the car type and the fuel type and then returning the relevant set text. So far I'ver only been able to find IF functions criteria to identify one feature of the text.
I'm thinking it's got to be variation on =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("Vauxhall Corsa",A1)),"Vauxhall Corsa Petrol") but there should be something else in there like =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("Vauxhall Corsa"&"Petrol",A1)),"Vauxhall Corsa Petrol")
I know this is wrong but just trying illustrate my thinking. I need it to pick up vauxhall corsa AND petrol. I understand that I would have to stick a lot of IF functions together in a string, but that is fine as long as I can ask it to pick certain text AND certain text within a cell.
I have 10 cells in a column. I have a drop down list in each that is the same in each. If all 10 cells have the same item selected from the drop down list, I want a separate cell to list Yes or No. I've tried a few variations with no luck.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an existing spreadsheet with a column of strings (actually VIN numbers). These numbers correllate to a bunch of text files, that can exist in one of three folders (UsernameDesktop1, 2, or 3) on my desktop. What I need the macro to do is:
1) get the filename from A2 (A1 is a heading row)
2) Find the appropriate text file in one of the three folders
3) Put the folder name into I2
4) Scan the text file for some strings, and copy some data that follows those strings into J2:O2 (I can handle programming this)
5) Close the text file
6) repeat above for the remainder of filenames (about 1800 files)
So I have been playing around with the tab colors on my workbook and am trying to figure out the correlation between color brightness and the auto change from black text to white text. I've noticed that if the Green color value is higher, excel is more likely to use the black text. If Blue is high, white. Green takes precedence over Blue and Red is just kind of in its own world.how excel calculates this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find a formula that will count the number of unique entries there. I have tried the solutions posted on various websites to no avail (most recently:

The answer should be 4,457.

I am my excel worksheet (excel 2010) I have one cell that changes every day (number). I want this number to open my htm document and replace the same number in a string in the htm and save/close this.
An example:
My htm document is located at C:/ and named XX.htm
The number I want from excel is in cell A1 in sheet1, and the worksheet is located in D:/ named yy.xlsx
And the text(number) I want to replace is in the following string in the htm document, in this string it is 72, next day it can be 30:

I have some text in a cell, which is longer than the width that I am going to make that cell. When I don't wrap the text, it cuts it off at the end of the cell.
Since each column represents a day in a calendar, it would be incorrect to merge the two cells, but I don't want the text hidden, since I need to print the final product.
It is non-numeric text, and i've pasted --> values to remove formula issues.
When I copy from Excel 2003 (values & formulas) and paste special into Excel 2007 i get the option screen to select unicode text,sylk etc instead of the other screen with the option of values,formulas,formats etc.How can I select the option for value,formulas?

I have a set of task descriptions that I am attempting to trend on. Some of these (Column B) have the customer's name added to the description; others do not. I need to be able to make a list of task names (ColumnA), removing the name from the text string.
The formula I am using is [=LEFT(B3,FIND("for",B3)-2)].
The problem I am having is when the description does not contain the "for" built into the formula, I get "VALUE" error. What adjustment can I make to the formula to pull over the Description if the "for" does not appear in the text string?

I have a column C with different text in cells (item's title). Column D - relevant description for each of the items. 100+ rows.
Now, unfortunately, often a spreadsheet with items is updated with many new items. So I get a new spreadsheet with old and new items mixed. I need, somehow, to import descriptions of the old items (Column D of the old spreadsheet) to the new spreadsheet from old spreadsheet. So I want excel to look for old items in column A of the new spreadsheet and, once found, insert a description in the column B from old spreadsheet.

Excel Q.xlsx‎
I have the following two columns, and would like to obtain for each individual Company, the corresponding Country values excluding duplicates as text in a single cell.
Company 2Country B
Company 2Country C
Company 3Country C
Company 3Country C
Company 5Country A
Company 5Country C
Company 5Country C
For example:
- For Company 2, a cell containing "Country B, Country C"
- For Company 3, a cell containing "Country C"
- For Company 5, a cell containing "Country A, Country C"
I've approached generating an array using an IF statement, as in =IF(INDEX(A1:A8="Company 5",,),INDEX(B1:B8,,)," "), which returns the following array: ={" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";"Country A";"Country C";"Country C";" ";" ";" ";" "}.
The question is: how do I get that array to produce, as text in a cell: "Country A, Country C". Note that the duplicate Country C has been removed.
There are a few "StringConcat" User-defined functions that I've found elsewhere on the internet, but they don't seem to be able to handle to conditionally generated IF Index array, which I would think is key to parsing between Countries corresponding to each Company in the list.
I need to create a macro to do the following:
Search the activecell for a text string (a), and then either paste in text string (b) at the end of the cell if (a) is found, or text string (c) if (a) is not found.
For example, if the activecell has "AA/" in it, I want the cell to become "AA/01" (pasting in "01" at the end), and if the cell has just "AA" in it, I want it to still become "AA/01" (pasting "/01" at the end). The macro will be linked to a commandbutton.
