Trim Left Of Space

May 15, 2007

Sub GetThatstring()
Dim strMonth As String
Dim iYear As Integer
Dim StrMnthYear As String

strMonth = Trim(Left( Range("A1"), _
InStr(1, Range("A1"), " ", vbTextCompare)))
MsgBox strMonth

iYear = Mid(Range("A1"), _
InStr(1, Range("A1"), " ", vbTextCompare) + 1, 4)
MsgBox iYear

StrMnthYear = Trim(Left(Range("A1"), _
InStr(1, Range("A1"), " ", vbTextCompare) + 4))
MsgBox StrMnthYear
End Sub

I have a column of cells likes:
5/5058 Jack Daniels
5/29AA Crown Royal

I want to delete everything to the left of the first space.
So it will look like:
Jack Daniels
Crown Royal

It has to be vba though. I have done alot of trim in just formulas but this is first time in VBA. The above code is one I found by searching but not sure what to do to modify it.
This will be for range AM2:AM2000

Trim Left And Minus A Character

Jun 29, 2007

Sub TrimSlashesToRight()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Range("AN2:AN2000")
cell = Left(cell, InStr(cell, "//") -1)
Next
End Sub

I cannot get it to run this, it always crashes on

cell = Left(cell, InStr(cell, "//") -1)

It will work fine like:

cell = Left(cell, InStr(cell, "//") + 0)

but then it leaves the first / in place, i want it to start deleteing before both //.

Trim Macro: Trim All Of The Data From Rows 2:30 Removing Any Trailing Spaces After The Last Word In Each Cell

Apr 25, 2007

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
End Sub

Trying To Trim Anything Non-alphaneumeric From Target Cell

Jan 12, 2009

I'm trying to make up a sheet that will be able to cope with users pasting in data from other sources. I thought simply running a TRIM function on any data entered in the target cell would be enough, but I've realized that many of the "space" looking characters are not really spaces and don't get trimmed. I've searched around here, but can't find a definitive answer... What can I use in VBA to trim anything that isn't a-z or 0-9 from around data that's entered or pasted in?

VBA With Range() To TRIM() Cell Contents

Jan 27, 2010

I have column headings that come in through a file upload and for some reason some of the column headings(which are in cells in row1) have extra spaces in the middle of them and at the end of the word. This messes up some of my later coding when trying to find specific header names.

Example:
"Location " - has extra 2 spaces at end, should be "Location"
"Read (Only)" - has 3 spaces in middle, should be "Read (Only)"

I came up with this piece of code to quickly correct the bad headers by Trim()'g the contents of each cell, but it's error'g out & not sure how to fix it:

With Range("A1:A24")
.Value = Trim(.Value)
End With
It errors of course on the '.Value' line.

How To Validate If Left Cell Value And Left Cell Above Value Are Not Same

Sep 16, 2013

I have a column that is giving unwanted value . dont know the reason as that excel file has been created by some other guy and I just started working on it .

My Question is how to move to 2 cells left(A for example) from from that unwanted value column. and check if
A is equal to cell above it , means B Cell(Row above A but same column).

As my excel file is totally based on Forms, Macros, I am not quite familiar with macros.

Is there any way to put if condition in one cell (column) and drag it all the way down which should work for all the values in these 3 column.

And also if A=B then I want to make that unwanted value cell="".

Trim Special Characters In Cell To Be To Split Data Into Columns?

Apr 9, 2014

This formula I want to apply it in another workbook. It split in different columns the content of a cell.

The formula is below:

[Code] .....

In cell A2 I have the following data:
|516582-001-99|414816-001-99|414816-003-99|516582-001-99|

If I apply the formula above in cells B2 to E2 it returns a blank cells. But if I delete the first "|" sign in the left side manually the formula works perfectly by splitting the cell into columns from B2 to E2. The issue here is that I have more than 300,000 records. Just imagine the amount of time invested in just deleting the first "|" at the left side.

I need a variation of the formula above that in first place delete the first "|" at the left side and after that continue with the proper work of the formula.

Excel 2007 :: Shrink / Trim Worksheet To Rightmost / Lowest Filled Cell?

Aug 19, 2014

Assume I filled some cells of a worksheet (in Excel 2007).

Now I place the cursor in one of the cells and dragged the cursor to the right side. As a result more and more empty columns are automatically added at the right side even I do not enter something. Similarly rows are added at the bottom when cursor is dragged downwards.

Correspondingly the horizontal (and vertical) slider shrinks because the dimensions of the matrix grows.

Is there a menu/function which let me do the opposite?

Something like a trim/shrink function which cuts/deletes all empty columns beginning from the right side resp. rows from the bottom?

.... but not from the left and topmost side.

Autofill Formula To The Left (fill To The Left)

Feb 5, 2009

I am having trouble filling a formulae series to the left on one spreadsheet, the fomulae being references to another sheet.

For example, I have two sheets 'Mtce Options' and 'Base Case'. In 'Mtce Options' I have the following formulae

A B C
1='Base Case'!A15='Base Case'!D15='Base Case'!G15

I want to fill to the left, incrementing the column references by a factor of 2 each time, eg. next two should be ='Base Case'!J15 and ='Base Case'!M15.

However, if I autofill to the left by highlighting A1, B1 and C1 or just B1 and C1 all I get is an inappropriate reference such as ='Base Case'!D15 or ='Base Case'!F15, respectively, in D15.

Formula To Add A Value To A Cell - Based On Cell To The Left Color

Dec 10, 2013

I would like to add a value to a cell. The value in this cell will either be 1, 2, 3 or 4.

The value of this cell needs to be "1", if the cell to its left is "Red".
The value of this cell needs to be "2", if the cell to its left is "Purple".
The value of this cell needs to be "3", if the cell to its left is "Green".
The value of this cell needs to be "4", if the cell to its left is "Blue".

I believe I need to find the HEX values for the colors, but that is no problem, I just need the formula of the function if you know it.

Last Occupied Cell To The Left And Equal To Or Above Current Cell

Nov 22, 2009

I've been pounding away at a project for two days trying to determine a way to identify a solution, to no avail.

Here is some experimental code. Under the assumption that in Column "A", every fifth line contains some text (a, b, c, etc) I want to place a function in column B that would identify the closest occupied cell above and to the left of the cell containing the function. The sub achieves this, but the function has a problem because of the Activecell line. Is there a way to identify the location of the cell containing the function to act as a reference point for the range?

Sub find_last_heading()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
x = ActiveCell.Address
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select
last_heading = ActiveCell.Text
Do Until last_heading ""
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select
last_heading = ActiveCell.Text
Loop
MsgBox last_heading
Range(x).Select
End Sub
Function cathead(Optional reference)

Dim cell

Align Left And Right In Same Cell

Jul 25, 2014

I need a single cell to contain two elements, one left aligned and the other right aligned.

Result would look something like this, LeftText aligned to the left side of the cell and RightText aligned to right side of the same cell.

LeftText {all of the white space here between two text values} RightText

Merging columns is not an option; both values must be in same cell. Both text values vary in length with each run of the code.

All I can do as of now is plug in a bunch of spaces that will approximate the open space between the two values.

Filter By Value In Cell To The Left Of Selected Cell

Apr 30, 2012

Sheet 1 is a table with the first column and first row as text (table headings). The first column is names and first row is from report names.Namereport 1report 2Jane Doe114John Doe52

Sheet 2 is the report1, for example purposes
NameJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJane DoeJohn DoeJohn DoeJohn DoeJohn DoeJohn Doe

I am trying to have it to so that when you double click on cell B2 of sheet1, it will go to sheet2 and autofilter on the value to the left of B2 on sheet1 "Jane Doe"

This is what I have so far but when I double click on B2 it just moves the cursor to the cell to the left instead of filtering on the value of the cell to the left on sheet2.

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim id As String

If IsEmpty(ActiveCell) = False Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select
Else
id = CStr(Selection)
Sheet2.Activate
Sheet2.Range("A1:A500").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=IsEmpty(ActiveCell) = False And ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value.id
