I've spent way too much time trying to figure out this simple thing. Doh! I have a text string that may have one or more CR and/or LF characters on the right. Unfortunately, RTrim doesn't remove CR/LF characters.
Is there an easy way to do something similar to the following that will remove the CR/LF characters?

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
i have a device that produce its data as following:
NTFLog_D2013-02-12_T104016.csv
I need to divide the single column to 7 column as separated by semicolon ";"
to trim leading and trailing spaces from values I'm getting from a For Next routine. I'm using c as my variable and Trim(c.value) as the operation.
There are other routines that search for the explicit string that's the result of the trimmed value and some can't be found because the trim as I'm using it isn't trimming.
Is there a fomula that can add trailing spaces. For example....I need a certain feild to be 11 Characters in length. So lets say in Column A, I have a bunch of different words:
House
Bird
Up
Down
Yes
No
I would like to put a formula in column B that takes my original text and adds blank spaces to the end of it until it's 11 Characters. So "House" in Column A would be "House " in column B.
I need your guys expertise in the following formula. I'm applying the following to a large range of data that varies in lenght,however all of the data has a 1Y or 2Y at the end of it. I need to remove it from the data into a new column. Currently I'm using =trim(mid(A2,1,30) how can I change my formula to obtain my results?
for example: Nationwide Select premium $74.99 1Y
Nationwide Select Premium W/e-mail $74.99 1Y
As you can see the lenght of the data is different.
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 //.
I have a problem that I just dont seem to have the brain power to solve right now. I have a list of websites and I need to extract all characters after the last / in the URL. URL example:.....
I have been using the find function in conjunction with LEN and RIGHT etc but the multiple instances of / is causing headaches for me. Also, the trailing string of characters that I want to extract can be both text or numeric and are of differing lenths.
I'm having difficulty figuring out how i can Trim the last 3 characters from this string
Code:
FeatureCode1 = Split(errorChecker.lstErrorMessage.List(0), " [")(0))
I tried
Code:
FeatureCode1 = Left(Split(errorChecker.lstErrorMessage.List(0), " [")(0)), 3)
But that only SHOWS the last 3 characters... how i can just cut off the last 3 characters?
I'm guessing something to do with TRIM, but not sure how to implement it?
I have some code that grabs the name of a staff member. The format is:
Code:
Result = Trim(Sess0.Screen.GetString(8, 33, 10))
.Cells(r, 15).Value = Result
How do you trim the string before the first space so the value in Result would be just the last name (DOE)?
I am trying to develope a "goto" page macro where the page value maybe 1,34,7A, 256C etc. I am not clear on how an inputbox value can be compared to a string variable or a numeric variable at the same time. This is what I have done, but when the texboxvalue is "7A" it doesn't work.

Example:G123-123 would be highlighted whereas G123Z-123 would not.

You have a separate string variable with the value Inputworksheet. How do you get this string variable value to call/control the range variable Inputworksheet?
I am getting an excel worksheet value from a lookup function that corresponds to the name of a VBA range variable. Once I have this worksheet value, I would like to use the range variable that has the same name as the worksheet value.

I want to assign a value to a character or string
Like I have formula p2p3= (n-1)*p +(2*e)
I want to assign values(number) to n,p,e.............so that i can get p2p3....like want to assign 'n'=4
I don't want to use cell number for calling values of n,p,e
How can I evaluate just the first part of these stirings so I can just do something like Left("Ca",2)?

I have a web query that returns a city and state, but the last character of the state is lower case. I need VBA code to change the last char to upper case. Here is what I have so far:
Code:
tmp = Cells(4, 1).Value
Mid(tmp, Len(tmp), 1) = UCase(Right(tmp, 1))
Cells(4, 1).Value = tmp
Is there any easier way to do this without 3 lines of code?

I have a column that has various codes such as "E123" and "X456" and "S345". I just want to extract the numbers and leave the letters in each cell. How do you write a formula using the LEFT function to extract the last three numbers?
I have a cell that has approx 22000 characters. I'm trying to remove a specific character string from a cell by doing a find and replace with "". It works for characters in the first part of the cell but not for characters in the last part of the cell.
Example: I do a find/replace for the characters 21242 to "" in column A and I get the expected results. I do a find/replace on 69294 to "", again I get the expected results, but if I do a find/replace on 85203 to "", I get "Excel cannot find what I am searching for" (but its there!)
My cell size is within the max size of 32,767 characters so not sure why its not working.

I would like to find the position of the last occurrence of a character in a string. For example, I have a string with the following:
"c:wwgpeToolbidsTest File.GP$".
I would like to find out the position of the last '' in the string because I want to pull the filename, 'Test File.GP$' into a variable. I would like to avoid writing code to do this. Are there some Excel functions I can use for this?
I have a macro that asks the user to enter a file name and have written a small function to search the name given to the file to find any invalid characters, trouble is I must be doing something wrong as I doesn't work.

I am trying to work out how to get nth position of a character in a string. For example in this
Code:
kjishdfiuayigdscka
if I use the formula
Code:
=FIND("i",I$1),
it will give me answer 3. But I want the position of 3rd "i" in the string. The answer should be 12. How can I change this formula to get the correct result?
In cell A1 contains a string, how do I get the number of position of the last numeric character from right to left (this value will be in cell B1).
Example: 12543AR3372C31WWW (In Cell A1)

The barcode lablels all have the following format: A318639....that is a letter followed by six numbers.
When I scan the barcodes into any cell, a dollar sign "$" appears in the front of the barcode string that is entered into the cell. The dollar sign is not a relevant part of the string of characters in the barcode label.
What I am looking for is a solution where upon scanning a barcode into any cell, the dollar sign is removed from the front of my string and I am left with just the seven character string which is shown above.
I have experimented with the Data Validation tool by trying to limit the number of characters that are allowed in a cell to seven characters, but that has not actually removed any characters from my data string.
For icount = 1 To LenComputername
valComputername = Asc(Mid(UserComputername, icount, 1))
Next icount
If the computer name is NAMTOK-PC Then the LenComputername is 9. Does that mean then that the valComputername is equal to 78?
on the web I've found this formula, which returns the postion of the last occurrence of the character in cell B1 in the string in cell A1:
=MAX((MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("A1:A"&LEN(A1))),1)=B1)*ROW(INDIRECT("A1:A"&LEN(A1))))
How do I turn this into a VBA function?
I am trying to remove the last 6 character from a variable. I worked out how to do it using formula's in XL, but want to move this in to VBA. Currently I have this
Mid(ActiveSheet. Name, 1, Find(" Intrdy", LookIn:=ActiveSheet.Name))
however it does not like the find function. Does it exist? am I using it correctly?
