This Trim funcion is not working for me for some reason. I have attached a sample file. Can someone help me with this? You can test the macro to see. I just want to delete the trailing blank characters on Column A. Here is the code.
View 14 RepliesI have created worksheets search box and want to use Trim Function to avoid spacing error when user enter the sheets name they are looking for and also sheets name in the Activeworkbook.worksheets.name
However the trim Function seems does not work

I am having problems removing "2009-642" from the above text string(s) (doesn't matter which)
This is just a sample line and it is not always in the same place so I am afraid a simple mid function from a set starting point will not suffice, the number is also dynamic in size, location and leading digits.
As a result I have created a formula to get rid of the "1 XS0444499197" part of the formula leaving me with " 2009-642 "
Now unfortunately I need to get rid of the spaces (or what look like spaces) just leaving me with the number but infuriatingly I can not get the trim function to work, so I can only guess that it is not in fact reading these spaces as spaces, and I'm at a bit of a loss how to proceed.
My V-lookups are not working. I have data with extra spaces before or after the word. The table I am looking up does not have extra spaces. I'm trying to to a TRIM(data with spaces) and then copy and paste the values so that the spaces go away and the TRIM is not taking my spaces out.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to clean up a very large spreadsheet that contains a tremendous amount of empty space.
I tried using the TRIM function to delete some of the additional space within each cell, but it only seems to allow you to update one cell/column at a time.
Is there a way to clean up the entire spreadsheet at once?
Find/Replace all spaces won't work because some cells have multiple words, and they need the space in between.
I'm taking 3 very different reports and consolidating them into one manageable readable form. Only problem is that no 1 report has the same info. I've created a key to form pick up the same information that is read differently. As my spreadsheet grows so do the formula issues. I've had one report that has been the biggest pain to break apart. It takes several things and consolidates them, ex: big 2014 girl - dog 20145
I'm using a trim formula to read the last 5 digits that is the only consistent part of the string. =right(J3,5) to trim what i need to read (20145). this formula works. I'm than trying to preform a Vlookup based on what is returned from the trim. The trim number is located in a separate tab as the "key" 20145 = golden Labradors. formula for vlookup that works by itself, but throws up a blank cell when i point it to the trim cell.
=iferror(vlookup($A2,Info!A:ZZ,2,False)" ")
$A2 = the info 20145 from the trim
Info! = is the tab with my 20145 = golden Labradors
A:ZZ = the range in which i need it to find 20145
2 = the second column where it should find 20145 = golden Labradors
False = exact match.
Why my formulas work separately but not when used together? The Vlookup will work if I type in the number 20145. I don't want to type 20145 anymore. I want to use the trim and have the vlookup notice the number pulled from the trim.
Due to the fact that some of the raw data I get dumped out of my database has leading and trailing spaces it is necessary to trim them. The one part of my code which seems to take forever to run is the section which performs this function on around 22,000 cells in one column. Here is the code I'm using. Is there a better way to do this?
'Set ServiceType = wsTmp.Range("C2:C" & tmpRows)
'
'For Each cell In ServiceType
'cell.Value = Trim(cell.Value)
'Next cell
The thing, with much code, seems to be that the slowness of my computer in executing code is directly proportional to the amount of uptime on the machine. Often a cold start will remedy the issue. Rather than having to do this daily to remedy the situation is there some other remedy to the problem?

I have some cells containing imported text with a lot of leading spaces. I try to get rid of them by TRIM'ing those cells, but it doesn't work.
Is TRIM only for trailing spaces?
I am trying to use the trim function to remove unwanted spaces at the beginning of cells that contain an address. The entire column contains spaces prior to the street number/name.
View 14 Replies View RelatedMy requirement is to remove the spaces in the text in each cell in a worksheet. i have used TRIM function for this. Sheet1 will have the imported data and sheet 2 has the formula to TRIM. i have an issue when using TRIM on date format. I have used formula TRIM(sheet1!Ax) for columns 1,2 and 3 and TRIM(TEXT(pcload!D1,"mm/dd/yyyy")) for column 4. But the blanks cells in sheet 1 have a value of 01/00/1900 in sheet2. I need the blank cells to be displayed as blank in sheet2.

I have come up with this to Trim all of the data from rows 2:30 removing any trailing spaces after the last word in each cell. The macro takes a couple of minutes to run have I got something wrong that is making it run slowly or does the Trim process just take longer?
Sub TRIM_RANGE()
Dim myRange As Range
Dim myRow As Range
Sheets("CAMPAIGNS_2007").Select
Set myRange = Range("2:30")
If myRange Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
myRange.Replace What:=Chr(160), Replacement:=Chr(32), _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False
For Each myRow In myRange.Columns
If Application. CountA(myRow) > 0 Then
myRow.TextToColumns Destination:=myRow(1), _
DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array(0, 1)
End If
Next myRow
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

I'm coping and pasting data (html) into a worksheet. When I try to format some of the columns as accounting$, number, ect. They won't format. It looks as if there are spaces before and after the data. So I tried the trim and clean function but it doesn't work, so I guess the blank "spaces" are not really spaces.
It gets better...
When I do the same exact copy and paste (as html) on another persons computer, they are able to format just fine, and the "spaces" are removed automatically.
Why is this working on one computer but not the other? Is it a setting that my computer has enabled or disabled? If so, what is it?
I was looking for a final result as follows
21-Aug-09 + 1 = 24-Aug-09 (Day + next 1st working day)

For some reason my array called "PriceSum" is not getting load with values or not being summed. I am not sure if it is because I am trying to load a value with a decimal in it or not.
For logic purposes:

Cell "X2" = 71.84
Cell "U2" = Bought
Cell "V2" = Banking

I've written some code to try to count the number of cells that are not empty and save the result as a variable but sometimes the code seems to think that the cells are empty even though they are not.
The code goes through rows 1 at a time and counts the quantity of cells that are not blank and compares them with a couple other values.
The strange thing is if I execute the actual function =COUNTA(with the range that I am selecting below) the COUNTA function works properly by itself in certain problematic sections of the worksheet.
This code below seems to work correctly most of the time but I've found a few instances where it is not properly counting non-blank cells:
Range(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 8), ActiveCell.Offset(0, 27)).Select
QtyTests = WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 8), ActiveCell.Offset(0, 27)))
why my QtyTests variable sometimes is saved as 0 even though there may be some cells that contain values?
Here is the expanded code:
Sub Macro()
'Global Variables
Dim QtyTests As Integer, ReqTests As Integer, InitQty As Integer, Cork As String, Corktype As String

I got a problem with a macro i'm working on. I got column D which contains text as "Figures", "Toys", "3DS", "PS3" etc. I also got column N where i need the macro to display "Toys" if it's a toy, figure, etc; or "Games" if it's "PS3", "PS4" etc.
I'm using the following code, to also select only blank rows (so to ignore row 1 which is table header). Problem is that the result shows only "Games".
VB:
Columns("N:N").Select
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Select
Selection.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC[-9]=""*toys*"",""Toys"",""Games"")"
I'm in a workbook, and I want to look up a name. CTRLF or clicking on the binoculars both bring up the expected dialog box, but when I populate "Find What" and either hit enter, click Find All or Find Next, nothing happens.
The only thing I can think of is that I created a macro to function in one sheet only, then saved this workbook as .xlsm. But that doesn't seem right.
I have the following formula that has ceased to work in excel. I don't think there are any errors in it so I'm unsure as to why the link no longer works. Neither of the files I'm using has moved location on the server.
=IF(H7>0,(I7*H7)+((I7*H7/100)*VLOOKUP(B7,'T:FILEFILEFILE'!$B:$E,4,FALSE))+0.25,0)
I'm not sure if this makes much of a difference but people opening the file use various versions of Microsoft Office.
I have 3 worksheets for 3 separate managers, each sheet has a column which uses a COUNTBLANK function to work out the number of days off an employee has had off in the last two weeks:
Now the formula works perfectly on each worksheet, however I also have a master worksheet (which is identically set out and formatted to the 3 manager sheets) which uses a vlookup formula to pull the data from all 3 worksheets into one at the beginning of the workbook.
The problem I've come across is that the COUNTBLANK formula doesn't work on the master worksheet - I think this has something to do with the vlookup formula entered into the cells which I consider to be blank, but excel doesn't?
I've tried using a separate vlookup formula to pull the data from the 3 managers worksheets and this does work unless an employee appears on more than one managers' sheet - then the data from both worksheets is added together.....
Is there another function I could use to display the information I need to?

This is probably a really stupid question, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. I need to do some very basic filtering, but the dropdown box where you check off the things that you want to filter by is not defaulting to show checkboxes. This didn't seem like a big deal at first, but it's made it impossible to filter all but one things. For instance, to filter everything but values that are 0, I would have to manually click every single value in the dropdown box. Clicking "select all" is doing literally nothing. It's this way for all my excel documents. how to get the boxes back? I've included a screenshot of what comes up whenever I click on the manual filter button to show what is coming up.
I attempted to create a user function as per the link that VBA Noob posted in this post http://www.excelforum.com/excel-worksheet-functions/619446-resolved-play-a-sound-when-a-cell-equals-a-certain-value.html
I get #Name error. I placed the wav file Applause.wav in the same folder as the workbook. What did I do wrong?. Also, assuming I get this problem sorted out, how would I represent the condition "pass" or "fail" as in cell B3 in the Alarm formula? Would it be; Alarm(B3,"Pass") or Alarm(B3,"=Pass") or something else?
Ok, I'm sure that there is something really obvious here, but I'm just not seeing it....
