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?
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 am needing to issue a dos command in excel? basically i need to send a target link to a file. i cant use a hyper link for several reasons, and this is the only way i know how to go about this.
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.
Is it possible to add a value to a target cell without VBA Ie I have 3 worksheets and I would like to pull a varying cell value from each sheet to give me cumulative total on another sheet in a single cell.
I have a simple sub below (CopyData) to copy a cell value (I2) to next unused row in column O. If I run the sub from the VB editor, it runs fine doing exactly what I intend to do.
I've tried several macros to cause this sub to run when the value of cell I2 changes but they all behave the same way. I am initiating worksheet changes using the F9 function key. I2 changes every time I press F9 but the CopyData sub doesn't run.
Below is the latest attempt:
Code: Sub CopyData() Range("I2").Copy Sheets("Calculations").Range("O" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues End Sub
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address = "$I$2" Then Call CopyStuff End If End Sub
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.
I am currently using this Formula to Search a table on sheet 2 (Tabelle2) and copy the date in the relevent cell (Cells) into the correct cell on Sheet 1 (Master Sheet).
[Code] ..........
Used in cells E10:AZ30 and E33:AZ46
This works perfectly and is the formula behind all relevent cells in Sheet 1.
I would like to keep this but to add that it also copies the background color of the cell in Sheet 2 to the cell in sheet 1.
If i can Bring this Formula into VBA and add the color changing part, It must only work on the cells listed above..
I have main worksheet (target a) that I am trying to populate data from target(worksheet) b. The data I am trying to get from target b changes every month,(declining balance) based on a new month. So how can I get financial data from different cell each month from "b" into same cell in "a"? (so "A" # would be overwritten in same cell based on new # from "B". I have tried VLookup but can't be doing something correct.
I need to be able to get the color of my target cell (the target could be in red green or blue - background or foreground color could be used) - I realize this requires the use VBA, which I know nothing about - I want to find the color NOT change it or manipulate it in any way
Objective: * I want to copy a range that starts at 1 cell immediately to the right of AddressStart and extends for 100 cells wide * I want to paste 10 rows of this information * AddressStart will be a variable address such as B2, B10, B1000
Here is my current code (which fails on copy/paste):
Code: For NewRows = 1 To 10 WSReqs.Range(AddressStart).Offset(NewRows, 0).EntireRow.Insert WSReqs.Range(AddressStart, Cells(0, 100)).Offset(0, 1).Copy Destination:=WSReqs.Range(AddressStart, Cells(0, 100)).Offset(NewRows, 0) Next NewRows
Questions: 1) How do I set the relative reference to set the size of width of the row to be pasted? 2) Is it possible to refer to the end of the row (far right)
In Cell A1 if 0 is entered, it puts a diagonal line through the cell
If in Cell A1 anything other than a 0 is entered, then the the diagonal disappears.
I would like however for the code to recognize that if the cell is blank then to put a diagonal line through the cell as opposed to entering a 0. The code is listed below:
*The code below also does what is described above for cell A2* _______________________________________________________
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Select Case Target.Address
Case "$A$1" If Target.Value = 0 Then Target.Select With Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp) .LineStyle = xlContinuous .Weight = xlThin .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With
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?
I am using a piece of track changes VBA code mentioned on this site, which among other things creates a new column that reports the number of any cell that has been changed (e.g., $K$32). What I would like to do is, next to that cell, report the title of the row in which that cell appears. In other words, if someone changes cell $K$32, for easier reference I'd like others to be able to see that this cell appears in a row titled "New Sales". I'll be happy to clarify with more specifics if need be.
I have a spreadsheet at work . I am tracking the quality target for the department and I need to create a formula that adjust accordingly to the target set for month end which is 90%.
I have build in the foreacasted numbers for the whole month but I need the formula to indicate the minimum error points needed to achieve the target of 90% for month end when I replace the forecasted numbers on a daily basis with actual numbers.
I have attached the spreadsheet which will be clearer.
I am looking for a way to avoid the circular reference issue. I would like to monitor a cell that is being incremented and decremented so that I can automatically retain the highest and the lowest values that were entered into that specific cell over time. Since the data is only entered into that specific cell and not retained in for example a column, the MAX/MIN option is not usable in this case.
More simply stated, is there a way to put a formula in a specific cell ( A1 ) that will equal the target cell ( B1 ) only when that target cell ( B1 ) is greater than A1?
I was trying to use a modified version of JBeaucaire's code to achieve the same results within my form. In my workbook I have a a table (called Table27) that ranges from A7:CL109
This is the code I'm attempting to use:
[Code] .....
Column A is where my target cells are... where the user will enter data. In cell CI (the 87th column) I want the Data & Time stamped.
I thought I'd modified the formula correctly, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I have a spreadhseet where columns I and J (range from I6 to J300) serve as input cells, off to the right, 23 columns over in AF and AG respectively I have a hidden array formula (Index, match) calculating values based on input in either column I or J and several factors embedded in reference table in the same sheet. That works fine. I want cells in columns I and J to be interdependent, in other words, input in column I drives calculations in a hidden formula and I want the value of that calculaton to display in column J (in a adjacent cell input in I6 results in display in J6), but if I input value in J then this value will drive calculation in a hidden formula and display in I (let's say I is centimeters and J is inches). I have a code that works (I set it up as a try just for few rows) but only one code section at a time, not together. If I choose column I (#9) to go first in code, values update in J, but not the other way around, if I choose column J (#10) to go first in code, values update in I, but not the other way around. What am I doing wrong, I tried Target.address case, I tried Intersect ... is nothing then etc. They all work one at a time but not together. Here is the code as it stands now
When ever I update my external CSV file and hit refresh all data, I get #REF! Errors. The CSV file has a table that changes daily. Thus the "A" Column has a different number of rows depending on the day. The problem is that Monday the CSV file will contain 700 Rows, while on Friday it will have 200 Rows. I end up with a lot of #REF! Errors friday. How do I write the code so that (A561 for example) does not change regardless if it can reference the target cell or not? I even thought of making a macro that just copied the formula into all of the cells after each refresh, but there must be a better way.
Example code =IF(A561>0,IF(Start!$H$2="Monday",'calculations-mon-sat'!O561,calculation!O561),"")
I need to hide/unhide a couple of rows based on the result of a formula in the Target Range. Basically, Cell D2 contains the results of a sum (a+ B), if this is greater than 10,000, unhide the next row.
I'm trying to create a sheet where clicking in a range brings up, in my users words, "a box I can type loads of comments in". They want some kind of flag in this cell showing if comments are posted or not. So far so ok, got the userform to pop up using the selection change event below and dump the actual comments somewhere the user won't look. A rather inelegant IF statement to see if there's anything in the dump cell gives them their flag.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) If Intersect(Target, Range("B2:B300")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub UserForm1.TextBox1.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 10).Value UserForm1.show End Sub
So what's the problem? When I select entire rows, the userform pops up. Is this unavoidable?
I need VBA code for the following - I have a worksheet with seven colums of data (A to G) - I need to copy the first column (A) from the active worksheet then open master workbook called 'master' and paste the data in to column D - then save the 'master' as the name in cell Z1 of the 'master' workbook. Once this has been been completed I need to repeat the process but this time copying column (B) and so on.
