Text To Column Not Working Within Macro?
Feb 4, 2013
I have recorded the following code, but while it works during the recording stage it doesn't within the macro.
Range("D18").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("D18"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=False, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
:=Array(1, 1), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
The data within column D is imported dates and I am doing the text to columns to get a later macro to recognise the cells as dates and not text.
(The code seems to work for a few of the cells but not all of them.)

I'm trying to work out how to fix the formula below to take into account and ignore and text entries, while giving me the result of the sum of column K minus the sum of column J. If I delete the text entries, the code works but I need the text entries to stay where they are. I've attached a sample sheet with fake info to explain whan I'm trying to do.
Cell N28 on the 'MGMT INFO' tab contains the following formula:
=IF(ISERROR(SUMPRODUCT((Sheet01!$K$1:$K$1000)-(Sheet01!$J$1:$J$1000))),0,(SUMPRODUCT((Sheet01!$K$1:$K$1000)-(Sheet01!$J$1:$J$1000))))
Columns J and K on the 'Sheet01' tab contain the Pay and Invoice information for all the work planners for that client that I'm trying to find the difference between. Each work planner has 'Pay' and 'Invoice' also in that column though, one entry per planner which is causing the SUMPRODUCT formula to screw up.

I want to use TextToColumn function of excel using vba. I tried recording a macro to get the syntax and then make a few changes to it; But it is not working when i run it from vba ... if i do it manually it is working very nicely but it just skips that step in vba.
i have pasted my code
Code:
On Error Resume Next
rngReqIDcodWhole.TextToColumns Destination:=rngReqIDcodWhole, DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=False, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:="""", FieldInfo _
:=Array(1, 2), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
rngReqIDcodWhole is a column range
the text that the code needs to break is as follows
Code:
_BRE.RFs.DocPackage.Decpages.CreateContent_DECPAGES_RF(dre, sec, "FormID","FormID", 1, "DecR_1", "DecR_1", false);

I've got a report that has a period date in it and its in the format "ARP-12", which is not set as a date. If I highlight the column and click Text to Columns it puts it in a date format which I can use.
I recorded myself doing this to insert into a marco but the date format is not correct. When I do it manually ARP-12 comes out as 01/04/2012 which is what I need but when i run the code i recorded it comes out as 12/04/2011.
I've pasted the code I've got below:
Columns("F:F").Select
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("F:F"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=True, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo _
:=Array(1, 1), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
Range("A1").Select

I am running Win XP and Excel 2003.
I have a macro I found here on the boards written by Lenze to delete an entire row based on what is found in column A. I would like to delete any row where Col. B contains 10 or less characters and I have modified it to do so (or at least I think it does). My problem is that it takes about 12 minutes to run the macro (I have about 50k lines to run through). I was wondering if this is the fastest method or if it examines things other than just column B.
Sub Test()
Dim i As Long
LR = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
For i = LR To 2 Step -1
If Len(Cells(i, "B")) < 11 Then Cells(i, "B").EntireRow.Delete
Next i
End Sub
After this runs, I am left with Columns A to somewhere around AH. The columns are generally in the format of text followed by a numeric column. An individual text column has the same name through all of the rows. The numeric columns have varied values whether negative or positive.
Ideally what I would like: If a given cell (ie. C2) in Row 2 is numeric, then copy the cell to the left (ie. B2) into (ie. C1) and then delete Column B. I need this to work for multiple columns from B to C, skip D and E, and then from F to AG (and maybe beyond).

I am looking for a Macro that will search a column for blank cells, and when one is found will add text to the same row in another column. For example: The below is a spreadsheet. I am trying to find something that will search through column "C" in this case and add text (of my choice) to Column "A" if the cell is Blank. So Since cell C1 is Blank then Type "ERROR" is cell A1.
A B C D E
1 X X X X
2 X X X X
3 X X X X X
4 X X X X
5 X X X X

I have a macro that copies data from one sheet to another. I would like getting the macro to figure last row used in column B from B3 on and put the word Sum below it. For example, if last row used is B64, on B65 would like the word sum on it.
I cannot just input in as the number of rows could change when macro is run. Data is dynamic.
Here is simple code I have:
Sub Weight()
Sheets("Final Month").Select
Range("A2:B1055").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Final Weight").Select
[Code] ...........

I don't understand why my macro doesn't work for "text to column". I did the usual: record new macro -> I select the column -> goto Data -> Text to Column ->next -> next -> finish.

Can I use a macro to change text in a cell? As an example, I have this list of names in a column. I'd like every other name to have a semicolon instead of a comma after the name. My list has commas now

And I want it to look like this.

I have a string of numbers and characters and I have a Macro that I copy-pasted from somewhere online that REMOVES any character that is not a number.
Is a great Macro that transforms:
"-a209 03 . 1 - 22 46" to 2090312246
I can send the code on request.
However the problem comes when running the macro into that string excel transforms it DIRECTLY into a Numeric. That is we are missing the first two, or first characters when they are zeros.
For example: "007 01 1.32.08" becomes 70113208 in stead of: 0070113208
And this is a problem.
I have tried to define the cell as text before running the macro. Fails. I have tried to re-define the cell afterwards as text but the zeros do not appear. Fails.
Including in the Macro a last minute section that forces the cell to remain as text...(seems easy! but I have do not know how to program in VBA)

I am in the process of writing a VBA code(I should I am fairly new to this code writing!!!).What I need to be able to do is below.(enclosed please find a output in an xls file) What I should be able to do is below:
1.Find the text "Cash(No Listing)(Monthly)"
2. Offset to the 13th Column after that
3.Select the value in this column ,copy the value
4.Go to a row above and move one column to the left i.e.offset (-1,-1) and move 12 column backwards i.e.offset(0,-12)
5.Copy the value in 3 above to this entire range
6.Repeat this process for the entire file
My code is as below.Let me know where am I making a mistake. Just to let you know that this code performs the job well for the first entry i.e in the yellow makde area and doesn't do the job for any further entries .Llooks like I have some problem with the loop but not sure as to whats happening!

Excel VBA 2010.
I have this problem:
e.g Cells ""
C2 - 128.50 g
C3 - 211.01 g
C4 - 198.50 g
C5 - 179.34 g
I need to split the text into
Cell "C2" = 128.50 and Cell "D2" = g
Cell "C3" = 211.01 and Cell "D2" = g
and so forth
I wanted to avoid using delimited method with space and induce an automated method to format every cell of Column "C" one by one.

I am trying to clean up and simplify my macros by compartmentalizing frequently repeated commands. I like to search for text in column headings and define the cell containing it as a range that I can later use .column or .row commands on, so my macros are a bit more flexible. The code I currently use for this is
Dim XColumn As Range ‘the cell containing the text “X”
Cells.Select
Selection.Find(What:="X", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
Set XColumn = ActiveCell
I would like to be able to create a Macro (possibly name FindSetCell()) that will accept arguments and achieve the results of the above code in other macros
I think the command might look something like FindSetCell(“text to be searched for”,”name of newly Defined Range”) But I have not figured out how to code it

I am trying to make a macro that will query a column J4 for a date, if the date is found say "Wednesday, July 4, 2012" (J8) get the text from Column K8 "Independence Day" and insert the text in Cell (H1).
The Macro Prints sign in sheets with the date in H2, it only prints Monday through friday. Then skips the weekend and the next date will start the following Monday.
The Federal Holiday schedule is in column range J (Date) and K (Holiday)
This is where I am stuck ....

how to work macros or VBA
I have a workbook with multiple sheets named by month and year that I use to keep track of loans I work with at a bank. In these sheets I have info such as:
Column B = due date
Column D = loan# A
Column E = loan# B
Column F = status
Column H = followup needed
(Columns A,C, and G aren't important for the current need)
What I am trying to do is create a main sheet (TRACKER) that all I will have to do is press a macro button and it will pull info for each loan that is in a pending status.
I need a macro that will search column F (Status) on all sheets and find each instance of "Pending" and once that is done, copy rows B,D,E, and H in each "Pending" instance and copy them to their designated area on my TRACKER sheet. After that is done I need it to continue to the next "pending" instance and do the same on the next available line on my TRACKER sheet.
The overall goal would be that everyday I can press the macro and it will repopulate the sheet with the current pending items (as each day I will change pending status' to complete and no longer need to track it the next day).
I already have the tracker sheet set up and ready to go with the spaces as follows:
Column G&H = Merged cells where due date will need to go
Column I&J = Merged cells where loan# A will need to go
Column K&L = Merged cells where loan# B will need to go
Column M thru S = Merged cells where followup needed will need to go

I have tried all possible ways to make the entire text appear in the cell. I changed the cell sizes by dragging the row and column margins, changed text-general format and a lot other things but it appears that excel does not even know I have text in the cell. I also entered ALT+Enter to add a line break. Nothing happens. The text remains the same way. Dragging the margins only feels like uncovering the hidden layer of text under it.

VLOOKUP will only work to a set limit number of text characters in a cell. So I can search for the value "*orange*" if the cells contain a reasonable amount of text, but as soon as this exceeds some limit, it returns BLANK. I've also tried using INDEX/MATCH with same problem. Is there a workaround or alternative function?
For example:
This will work and return the text in cell A2
A2: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Orange. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
This will return BLANK
A2: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Orange. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

I am trying to convert some text with comma separated values into columns but this is not working:
330,335336,337343351,353354,355,357,358369,370,373375,380,381,382,383,384385,386,387,388,389,390,391,392393,394,395,397,398,399
As you can see some columns have 1 comma, some multiple and I need each laid out into a single cel so I can do some lookups. The space values in the above data is actually a new column in the sheet.

I am trying to write a macro to search a column for a specific text string which when found, will copy the whole row the string is in. Once this row has been copied, I then want the macro to activate a new sheet and search for the next available empty row to paste the data. Once this has been done, go back to the original sheet and find the next cell in the original column with the specified text string and repeat until the range has been satisfied. Below is the script I have that sort of works.

i have a list of numbers in column A and B and C etc and i am trying to do some simple math for every 4th cell
Const startrow = 1
Const endrow = 60000
Range("c3:ba6").Value = 0
Range("c9:ba12").Value = 0
For y = 1 To 2
x = 0
For i = startrow To endrow Step 4
If Cells(i, y ).Value = 0 Then
x = x + 1
Else
If x > Range("c3").Value Then
Range("c3").Value = x
x = 0
Else
x = 0
End If
End If
Next i
Next y
however it can add the number in column A but never add the number in column B.

I copied and pasted text (last names) from Website A into File A. Then did the same from Website B into File B. I wrote index match formulas to compare columns between files. I've done this literally hundreds of times, and it's always worked. This time, however, I get ZERO matches - even though there are lots of them. Troubleshooting was straight-forward: it has to be website B. (Strange thing is, I HAVE used text from website B before in similar applications with no problems.) Something in the way they present the data is preventing matches. (Everything works when I manually type over text from Website B.) It's not an upper case/lower case problem. I tried copy-pasting values only - to no avail.

In a spreadsheet I have a text column with entries such as:
2012
10 Times
10.5 Times
101 Times
25 Times
A Pure Text Entry
When I sort by this column I expect to get:
10 Times
10.5 Times
101 Times
2012
25 Times
A Pure Text Entry
Instead I get the 1st order. Why? I've selected 'Sort numbers stored as text' separately so it shouldn't be treating 2012 as a number. Besides I've checked & the cell formatting is Text.
