Is there a ATransform or replace command in Excel. i have a value of 04/23/09 which is a date and would like to replace all "/" with "-' thereby making the value 04-23-09. I could examine each character value within a cell but this would just make a long coding and would like to know if there's a shorter way to do this?.
View 4 RepliesI have one sheet in my workbook called 'mapping' which has a list of codes on it, the length of which will vary on a periodic basis.
I have another fairly large sheet on the workbook called 'data' (around 2000 rows) that will also vary in size. I want to do a search on the data tab for each code that is contained on column 4 of the mapping tab and if the code is found, enters the corresponding value from column 1 of the mapping tab to the cell 6 columns to the left of where the code was found on the data tab (cols H and B in this case). Hopefully that makes sense!
The issue I have is the codes maybe contained more than once on the data tab so I need the find/replace command to search the whole of the data tab and perform the task each time.
I've written a very simple script to replace carriage return characters with <br> tags (so I can use the output in html pages) - however for some reason when I loop the script down the cells, it ignores certain cells and works perfectly on the rest.
The only 'variable' I can spot is that the ones it misses tend to be longer cells with more text (the one's that failed were 938 characters and 910 I think).
Can anyone tell me if there is a limit on how big a cell VBA can process and if so, how I can work around this? Is it possible to load and parse each character one by one in VBA or something?
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
For Each cl In Worksheets("CREDIT (GENERAL)").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, 23)
cl.Replace What:=Chr(10), Replacement:="<br>", SearchOrder:=xlByColumns

there is a ONE column containing data. it looks like 7 rows of content, 2 blanks, 7 rows of contant, 3 blanks etc. there can be more than 1500 rows in this document.
i am looking for a macro which would copy these 7 VERTICAL rows in 1 column and transform them into a NEW HORIZONTAL ROW IN 7 COLUMNS.
step by step it would be like:
- copy 7 rows in 1 column
- transform it into 1 row, 7 colums and put it ONE ROW ABOVE THE ORIGINAL
- delete original 7 rows in 1 column
i did macro by recording the whole action but it works only for first repeat. it does not work then because the macro keeps the row number and rewrites the content. i would need a macro which works independently of the row number.

I can already calculate a 1 or 0 for each row with =SUM(IF(A2:A3442=A2, IF(D2="Fair"))). Which creates a 1 or 0 in each row labeled for each entry but I do not know how to create a new spreadsheet with just one entry per person with the totals for each column.
I need a macro that will transform numbers in Column A to rows. i.e.
The (6) astericks will determine the start of the next row.

Since my data is large, so efficiency is also important.
How can I transform a text string into a formula. ='F1'!$C$2
This appears as a text and I want to convert it to a formula exactly like it's written. I made this formula like this because I need to get the value from 1000 sheets. So I use the formula to change the sheet number automatically.
But now I can not convert the text into a real formula.
I know that I could do it with a macro but I prefer to do it without using a macro.
I have a table with data and I want to transform the data in table 1 to the format in table 2 with a formula. I want to change the table format since I have data with 12 000 rows in table 2 format. I haven't been able to find any formula that works, so I will try to explain my problem

1. The same accounts are used several times, but with different description or months.
2. All "0" values are eliminated in table 2.
My first thought was to use a pivot table, but I can't use it on sheet 1 since each month become a separate value.
Maybe there are some setting in pivot tables that makes it work, but I would prefer a formula to solve the problem.
I have a series of raws with 7 numbers in each raw; sums may vary a lot from raw to raw, and also differences between one number and the other in a same raw.
Now, i need to obtain a much simpler distribution of scores, so reducing differences.
I would need to transform all numbers into a 0-4 score distribution, according to differences between numbers in a same raw. It's like a kind of rank score.
I want to obtain in each raw:
- 1-2 numbers with score = 4 (if three or more numbers have similar values: no 4 scores)
- a maximum of 3-4 numbers with score 2-3 (according to differences between these numbers but also also according to the 4 scores already assigned)
- all other scores = 1 if the numbers are >0
- all other scores = 0 if the numbers are 0
example: |14|23|3|0|45|0|10| => |2|3|1|0|4|0|2|

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a sheet with data imported of another software. In the column "G" are all the dates, and the problem is how can i change the format, because, some of them are "mm/dd/yyyy" and the rest are "mm/dd/yyyy".
Is there a way to change it to the same format? maybe there are some dates like "11/02/2007" that are "02/11/2007" (i don't know how change it with code), and others that the difference between formats is logically clear. I want to get the format "dd/mm/yyyy".
After this i want to apply a filter between two dates, for example, (in dd/mm/yyyy) from01/05/2007 to 30/08/2007.
I've tried different ways, but i'm not able to transform the format of the dates to the same format, although i've read your help and other posts that talk about this.
I want my macro to transform the cells whom values are visible into pure value no formula "behind them". I have simple multiplication formulas in those cells. If The result of a multiplication is 0 and I format that cells to not show me that 0 with "0.000;-0.000;;@" the macro still deletes the formula from that cell.

I have never written a macro and when I record one I usually have trouble with the relative references.
I am trying to write a macro to transform formulas into values every month.
I want to transform formulas:
- across a range of tabs: each tab is exactly alike and is named page-1 to page 25
- on a different column every month (same column across all tabs)
- on the same rows: L168 to L227 and L266 to L277 (same rows across all tabs)
Am working with a spreadsheet of about 1000 rows and 50 columns which I need to transform into 2 columns and as many rows as needed. I have attached a simplified example of a 3x3 spreadsheet so you can see what I mean. I have already managed to get my result using Filtering and some copy and paste but I am struggling to now fully automate the solution.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an excel 2007 script that downloads daily stock data and prices. I do analysis and graph the data.

I am sure this is commonly done, and is not rocket science, but so far I am baffled as to the procedure / algorithm to do this.
Is it possible that when you press a command button, that the first thing it does is to execute the code assigned to another command button (IE in another sub).

I have this simple formula: =IF(SEARCH("ABC",BQ239,1)>0,"Found", "Not Found")
Instead of saying Not Found when the value is not in the cell BQ239 text string I get #VALUE! returned
how do I get it to say "Not Found"? I searching for a substring that can be anywhere in the string.
This problem has come up fairly frequently lately, and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if this is by design...but in Excel 2003 I can't seem to do a "Find and Replace" based on the value of a cell. I can do a find, based on cell value, but the moment I change to the replace tab, the "values" and "comments" are missing from the "look in" dropdown.
I've only noticed this when I'm trying to replace on a filtered list, so I'm not sure if that is part of the issue.
Perhaps an alternative way of arriving at the same goal. Basically I have a worksheet with a number of filtered columns. They are filtered just right, using custom filtering, and so I do not want to undo the filters. In some columns I have formulas that are returning #VALUE! errors. I'd like to replace all of these cells with NA.
I recently became owner of a spreadsheet with some issues, and I am trying to make it useful. Each row has a URL of a blog post, and I want to extract the date from it (which is present in each URL) while getting rid of the rest of the URL. I was able to get rid of everything up to the year (which comes first), but then the URL continues, for example, 2013/05/16/the-rest-of-the-url/ and I would like to just have 2013/05/16 remain.
I am trying to use find and replace with the find box reading 2013/??/??/*/ and replacing it with 2013/??/?? which effectively erases everything else in the url, but leaves ?? instead of the numbers. Is there any way to have it so that it keeps whatever was in the original box?

Trying to repeat a 550 or so character statement with a find/replace however I am getting type mismatch errors. When I use a smaller message in the "replace" it works.
I need it to post a message exactly as long as what I have in there. How do I get it to work?
Need assistance with the code for catching errors when using the find / replace function in excel? In particular, I am trying to write code to break to an error message when the value or string searched for isn't found in the find / replace. At the minute I have just copied the standard code using a macro and all this does is return a message box saying X entries replaced.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have values in row A and I have values in row C. I want to create a loop to look up xxx and replace it with the values consecutively in row C. Look at example for a better Idea. I found a way to find and replace, but I not sure how to use it with qoutes. I was thinking maybe I dont even need row A and just supply a list and excel could have the chunk of data in the code itself.
