I am using the TexttoColumns macro to split cell contents into two columns. It works well except for one condition where the data it is parsing has a trailing zero. Excel drops the zero but I need it in the output.
Example Sun Management Center Agent: 4.0
Result
Column A Sun Management Center Agent
Column B 4
I 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.
First of all i have to mention that i'm not a coder guy so excuse me if i'm no good in explaining the problem.
What i'm trying is to convert texts into columns. I constantly have an email containing short codes about my business and each code has a special meaning. So i need to convert these codes and lookup in my database. Here is an example of the source file in email.
V MFACTBEL 04-TLV * FH 42T B * USAFEP * FH42T440
V * MEDHCM EPAH342 EUDRPA1 * UDFSUB * EU5SCR
V FROCALC * TYPE-FH * V2514 * ULIVING * SOUNDPLU
V * AIRFLPAC * EC-REG * L405A71 * R690A71 * LNGTUR
V * MIRCOMF * CBL2-BA3 * 1DAYEC * TUR-MSP LFUEL
V RFUEL * WL-ST * UAXLE * TEXTILE * TTRCON77

macro to compare 4 columns of text (first and last names) then add a checkmark in separate columns if they match and don't match?
For example I have this kind of data to compare and the results required:
Sheet 1
Last Name First Name
Smith Mike
Johnson Bruce
Hendrick Fred
Shaffer Kerry
Sheet 2
Last Name First Name Match No Match
Klee Pierre X
Verge Kerry X
Smith Mike X
Wright David X
Hendrick Fred X
I need the macro to mark an X in the Match column if the first and last names match only and if they do not match exactly a X in the No Match column.
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
Macro for text to columns function (if this is the best way to go).
Our work report exports customer subscriptions which we call "role name". Our customers subscriptions have a valid and start date, but our customers also can purchase multiple subscriptions and we need to separate this data in order to report by subscription.
Our export has an * after each subscription, the date is in square brackets and each subscription is separated by a semi column.
So for arguments sake, let's say we have the following subscriptions:
subscription a
subscription B
subscription C
subscription D
if one customer has purchased four subscriptions on various dates, their exports may look like this:
Subscription A* [01/02/2012 12:00:00 AM]* [01/02/2013 12:00:00AM]; Subscription B* [01/03/2012 12:00:00 AM]* [01/03/2013 12:00:00AM]; Subscription C* [01/04/2012 12:00:00 AM]* [01/04/2013 12:00:00AM]; Subscription D* [01/05/2012 12:00:00 AM]* [01/05/2013 12:00:00AM]
I then use a text to columns function to separate by the * and the;
I then am left with a column for the role, one for the start date and one for the expiry date.
The roles are in alphabetical order, but sometimes some manual sorting needs to be done to delete the roles I don’t need and keep the ones I do. For example someone could have subscribed to subscription B and not in A that means that the first column may not have all the roles I need, it may be in the second or third column depending on what other subscriptions they have.
So not sure if text to column is even the best way to go?
I have this macro that does text-to-columns based on delimiting with spaces.
It seems to work fine but the first time I use it when I open my spreadsheet it comes up with "Do you want to replace the contents of the destination cells?".The answer to this is always yes, is there a little bit of code I can poke into this macro to ignore this warning?
I'm using the the Texttocolumns method in a Macro, and when it runs across a cell without any data I get "Run time error '1004' No data was selected to parse". How would I get passed this? I would like it to just remain a blank range without the error. Here's the code I'm using:
Range("F38").Select
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("F38"), DataType:=xlFixedWidth, _
FieldInfo:= Array(Array(0, 1), Array(5, 1), Array(13, 1), Array(21, 1), Array(25, 1)), _
TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
I am trying to get a macro to run in excel that takes a simple text to columns command in one line of data and runs the command on a loop through however many rows of data there happen to be.
I've attached two screenshots - one with what I've got now (Before.jpg) and what I'd like to have after the macro runs (After.jpg). The code below is what I used to get the first text to column breakout, which I can hopefully run on a loop to breakout anything in the DEPT column that contains a "/". It can ignore the rows that only have one department to begin with.
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("K2"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=False, _
Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=True, OtherChar _
:="/", FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
Eventually I'll want to create another macro that transposes the breakout text back into the DEPT column and populates it with the corresponding data, but I figure I'll take things one step at a time.

I have a cell in workbook X on Sheet1 (cell AB3) that states which columns should be exported from workbook X on Sheet3 to a new workbook. The value of cell AB3 on Sheet1 changes based on what a user selects in some check boxes on Sheet1. I would like my macro to read the value of cell AB3 and interpret it is a range reference of which columns to copy from Sheet3 into a new workbook. The problem I'm having is knowing what line(s) of code I would use in VB to read cell AB3 as a range and what kind of referencing rules I need cell AB3 to contain. Right now this is what the cell looks like to the user:
Code: Sheet3'(A:A,B:B,E:E,F:F).Select
For cell AB3 to look this way I'm just using some hard coded text, such as the sheet number and .Select, plus some concatenated values in between. Perhaps this text string needs to be modified, but I'm also wondering what I would use in my macro to reference the cell and read it as reference to which columns to select in Sheet3.
I am trying to convert cells (all in column D) which are separated by "~" into columns. Unfortunately, running the text to columns command on several rows at a time can cause Excel to panic with an out of memory error (error #7 etc.).
The file is ~100mb and contains 500k-700k rows (I have 4GB of RAM so I know this is more a limit of Excel's 2GB RAM constraint).
Can you please help me write a macro to text to column convert each cell in column D?
I tried a macro which started with a for loop, and called the function for each cell individually, but even this led to an out of memory exception after 156,000 rows (although the same macro worked fine on a similar sheet with 700,000 rows).
Are there any other ways of clearing the Excel buffer/temporary space during the function calls to avoid causing Excel to crash?
i have written a macro to parse data in to four columns using the text to columns fixed width option, but unfortunately the data i get changes its spacing and configuration every day, meaning that the fixedwidth columns dont separate the data correctly. below is how it looks some of the time.

My problem is that data from previous applications are "bleeding" into new applications while running my macro.
I am utilizing the macro below to paste an application and then to convert the application to upper case in addition to some additional formating changes. After performing the macro I save the newly created document to a different folder. With new applications I repeat the above steps.
I tried to incorporate the clearing of the clipboard in my macro using: Edit=>office clipboard=>clear all. The keys strokes during the " record macro" process do not seem to record in the macro.

I need to fixed width-text to column macro and found a reply in the forum.
However, when I apply the macro, the result of zeros in front of figures disappear since the format of value in splitted column doesn't predefined as text
e.g. sample text to split to column:
000122042009ABCDEFG00567
Required result:
0001|22042009|ABCDEFG|00567
when running below macro; result shows:
1|22042009|ABCDEFG|567
(Beginning zeros figures of the first and last column disappear)
Applied Macro:
I have on sheet1 a number (72 at the moment) of Form CheckBoxes.
In simple terms: I would like a macro to look at each CheckBox and remember its state (Checked or Unchecked)
Then, go through and Check All checkboxes
Call MyMacro
Once MyMacro is complete (Filtering & Printing)
Revert the checkboxes to their original state.
The purpose of the checkboxes:
When Checked column on sheet2 is UnHidden
When UnChecked column on sheet2 is Hidden
Or, UnHide All columns on sheet2, run MyMacro, then "re-hide" the columns that were previously hidden.
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))
how 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.
I've got some time values in an Excel Sheet in the format hh:mm:ss. I need to split them into columns (including the colon) like below:
hh: | mm: | ss
I can do this manually using text to columns but when I use text to columns in my macro, it automatically changes the time format to h:mm:ss PM

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
I am having a trouble in Excel sheet.My column A has a drop down list with text- possible, not possible, not required.Based on the text, i need to populate texts in columns B, C and D.
For example
Column A drop down selected is "possible"
then B coulmn should automatically populate "1-3"
C should populate with "3-5"
D should be "5-7"
I am using MS excel 2007.
I have a cell that has a comma separated value that is 354 fields long. As such, if I use the Text To Columns feature to split the data at each column, I lose several columns (because excel cannot have that many columns).
How can I break the data at the comma, but have it list in rows instead?
In Column A1:A10 I have a really long series of alpha numberic digits in each cell.
I use this macro with text to column to split them up for me into different columns.
The problem I have is that after they go through this conversion all of the fractions in columns L are turned into dates....
what I'm after is a macro to check the contents of Column 'A' against column 'B' and display any duplicates in Columns 'C' & 'D'.
N.B. The headings of Columns C & D are :-
C = Value Found in Column A
D = Value Found in Column B
Any duplicate entries logged in columns C & D should be listed in C2,C3,C4....C20 and D2,D3,D4......D20 etc (in effect creating two new lists)

how to add two columns of single words together, so that all possible word combinations are seen. For example:

I have text data in one column.

Add1

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?

Programming Excel VBA Macro to do OCR (text recognition) from a prt scr screen capture image and input the text into cells. Currently my Excel file has a push-button, and upon clicking on it the macro pastes into Excel the current clipboard image I have created by pressing prt scr while in another program. The macro then crops the image to the region with the applicable text. I have to then manually type the text I see in image format into the appropriate cells.
the VBA coding to automate this? I'd like it to use the clipboard image and run it through OneNote OCR, after which the applicable text values are automatically entered into the cells. Ideally the code will first crop to the region with the desired text before it does OCR. If this is not feasible, it will need to incorporate a method (keyword search?) to hone in on the desired text after the entire prt scr image has been OCRed.
