I'm looking to get a macro (or other trick) to count differences in words between two strings.
For example, these twostrings:
“Hi there John, this is Dave”
versus
“Hi where, this is old Dave”
Have THREE differences (at the word level) in this example. All I really need to know is how many total words are different: deleted, substituted, or added.
I am currently using some code to copy a list of visible cells in column J and paste them in the same row in column F.
For some reason this code takes a long time to run, but it does work. I have to call it twice in my routine, and it can take up to 3 minutes per piece.
I was thinking about a way to speed it up, and I thought would it be possible to loop through a set of only visible cells in J and paste those values via Offset to F?
That being said, I've tried to do this, but not having much luck.
Here is the code that I am using which takes so long.

I am trying to get some data on a excel. This data is available on a unix OS solaris server.
The data is available in tabular format on the txt file in the server and i need to populate this data on my excel sheet.
How to connect to unix from excel and how to get the data.
What I have is a csv file that was generated in a unix program and a plain text file generated by a windows application. The text file identifies which lines in the csv files contain an error (not an excel error, an error in a 3rd party program). What I need to be able to do is compare both files in VBA and output to text a csv file containing only the errors then output to excel a count of the errors. the code I use is:
Sub extbyconnum()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Dim IOame As String, _
FName As String, _
OName As String, _
INum As Integer, _
FNum As Integer, _
ONum As Integer, _
InputLine As String, _
CCnt As Long, _
DCnt As Long, _
iline As String, _
ichar As String, _
cons() As String, _.......................
In cell A2 I want to enter a day of the week and have other cells use that as a reference to return data to its cell. E.,g
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'd like to compare 2 columns from different worksheets in the same workbook with a twist.
If any and all data from worksheet 2-column c matches any and all data from worksheet 1-column c, then go back to worksheet 2-column B on the same data matching row, copy the data from that cell and paste it into the same row of the data match in worksheet 1-column b and paste it.
I have 5 columns, each with some data. On the 6th column I need to combine the data from all 5 columns into column 6 to be as: Data in A2-Data in B2-Data in C2-Data in D2-Data in E2. With one exception. column D is the date in this format 27-Aug-09. I need the date to be modified on the fly from 27-Aug-09 to be 270809 which will be the info in D2. See example attached.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook of which has different times in columns D and E. What im trying to do is where the time difference between the columns is LESS than 5 mins I need that row deleting and cells shifting up.
I.E lets say D14 is 05.24 and E14 is 05.50. I need that line keeping but if E14 was lets say 05.27 then I need that line deleting and cells shifting up.
I need to be able to do this right down the workbook until the last entry.
I am looking to implement the "Compare Documents" function (available in Word 2010) in Excel 2010 through VBA programming between different text contained in two cells.
In Word this function works quite well (not perfectly), but it highlights in different ways which part has been deleted and which one has been added between an "original" document and a "revised" one.
For the nature of my job, I need to do this on a daily basis and I used to output text from Excel to Word, then compare the two text, and then copy it back to Excel.
Here comes the problem: since in Word the text is formatted (and what I'm looking for is formatted/highlighted text as output), I can't just paste it in Excel as it is: any editing, merging, splitting done on the pasted text (that eventually I need to do) makes the formatting disappear (above all with VBA functions, that can only output data and can't format it).
In other words: given two cells containing different text, I would like to be able to fill a third cell with text formatted accordingly to the TextDiff output between the two original cell.
E.g.:
INPUT:
Cells(1,1).Value2 = "my name is Andrea and I like jogging" (original)
Cells(1,2).Value2 = "my name is Giovanni and I like running" (revised)
OUTPUT:
Cells(1,3) wll contain: "my name is AndreaGiovanni and I like joggingrunning"
Obviously, since UDF doesn't allow formatting of cells, I would need to adjust the main Sub for each pair of document I have to revise, but that won't be the problem: what I need is the engine. It's been two years and a half that I do advanced VBA programming at work but it looks like I can't grasp the rationale behind the LCS algorithm.
I am trying to make a save&close workbook macro.
I found several examples on google, but unfortunatly it conflicts with another macro I use for forceing users to enable macros (hide all sheets except one if macros are disabled).
The attached file is an example contaning the save&close code and the show/hide sheets depending on macros enabled.
If the file is opened with macros disabled then only one sheet will be visible.
If the file is opened with macros enabled other sheets are visible.
The problem if that this code uses a custom save, witch makes the save&close not save... (in module1 and in ThisWorkbook)
The pourpose of the save&close is to make sure some users don't forget the excel open and thus block access to it. So if a certain idele time passes excel has to save and close without any confirmation messages.
I'm using a CALL Macro to split up a HUGE macro into different pieces:

The first few macros dealing with page setup and what not work fine but when it hits the Pivot table code for the STATSPIVOT macro it errors out stating: "Run-time error '1004': Unable to get the PivotItems property of PivotField class' at this point in the code:
Code:
objField2.PivotItems( _
"TRC").Position = 1
objField.PivotItems( _
"MEDCO MAIL OR AOB").Position = 2
When this macro is not split up it worked fine as written. Am I overlooking something in the Call Macro's code or is there a variable I'm not aware of. I have included the Pivot Table code that errors out as well.

I am making a spreadsheet that sorts and pastes, but I need to know if I can add a code to the Sort and Paste Macro that will open the second spread sheet needed without just already having it open and using the

I have a macro where I manually select a cell then the macro kicks in to copy and paste the contents into the Find function. From there it goes to another work sheet, clicks on a cell in column one and searches for matching cell contents. Then If false it manually goes back to the original worksheet/cell and then I input a N in the left adjacent cell. If true I enter a Y. Right now I can only run this for the specific cell the macro was recorded for. I would like to expand this.
What I would like to do create a loop in the macro that waits for my cell choice input then continues with the with the Find function. If false the macro should just loop back to the original worksheet/cell and wait for input, ie the next cell selected. However, if true a worksheet/cell is selected, a Y is input and it loops back to the original cell and waits for input.
This is the code I use to call a macro when the macro Im calling is in the same workbook.

However, I would like to call this same macro when using another workbook. I copied the macro "Clearformating" and pasted into a personal macro workbook module. However when I add this code to the sheet tab it will not run the macro.

I have a macro that I found somewhere on the net to look within a folder and list all the files of a certain file extension.
The macro to do this is in the attached example and is called 'Get_File_Names_Within_Dir_ext'.
I have created a basic userform outline, 'UF1' for the user to define:
Select File Extension
Select Folder to Search
Destination Sheet
I just don't have any idea how to sync the two.
If you type 'exe' into 'TB1_File_Extension' of 'UF1' the macro should search for '*.exe' files within the specified folder.
The search folder 'RefEdit1' box should open a windows explorer box (or some such) so that the user can select the directory in which to search for the previously specified file extension.
'TB2_Destination_Sheet' is a text box for the user to type the sheet within the workbook in which to list the files found within the specified directory.
'CB1_Find_Files' should activate the macro to find any files for the specified criteria.
There is also a Button 'Find File Types' in Sheet1 of the file which should activate the userform 'UF1'.
I have a worksheet in which I have a worksheet_change macro. This worksheet_change macro makes sure that a few cells will keep their colors, even if the user copies and pastes a new value to that cell. This worksheet_change macro runs each time there is a change on the worksheet. Now my problem is that on the same sheet I have an update list macro which updates around 20.000 rows and two columns (which is alltogether around 40.000 values) and it takes a while to run. So.. it takes a loooooooooot of time (too much) when these two macros both run.
My question is that can I somehow disable the worksheet_change macro while the update list macro runs. I mean something like when I start the update list macro to disable worksheet_change macro and when the update list macro finishes, then reenable worksheet_change macro?
I need a macro to get the values from cells D29 and H24 in the Resource Calculator sheet and populate it into cells N8 and O8 in the Input form.
Users will then be able to change the information in the calculator and click the macro again to populate N9 and O9 and so on.
Is there a way to do this?

I have a macro which refreshes a query when the spreadsheet is opened. This works fine when online.

1st - Need a macro to change a range of cells colours based on a single cell having a value greater than 0.001. ie. cells A1 - G1 need to change to grey based on cell F1 having a value greater than 0.001 entered in it?
2nd - Also a macro for deleting the text contents of cell C1 based on cell F1 having a value greater than 0.001. Therefor if cell F1 has a number greater than 0.001 it changes the colour of celss A1 - G1 and also deletes the text in cell C1?
I have written two VBA programs around the same time. Both run on open and pull external data and create graphs. My problem is that I want the end user to be able to run the report multiple times by choosing the name of the macro from the Excel macro menu (i.e. Tools>Macro>Macros) but only one of the workbook macros shows up on the menu. why the other macro is not visible on this menu???
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've recorded a macro that copies an entire tab into a new spreadsheet then goes on the copy and paste information from one tab to another.
When I run the macro from the Tools>Macros menu it works perfectly.
But when I copy the code and add it to that of a button it fails and posts the following error: Run-time error '1001': Select method of Range class failed.
The first attachement shows the code for the macro as it is alone, and the second shows how I simply copied and pasted it into the 'view code' window of the button.
Needless to say I'm a beginner at macros and only every record them, I can usually make stuff work that way but this has me stumped!
Put in a statement within a Macro that populates cells with the values that I want it to but instead of populating all at the same time, is it possible for the values to be delayed.
I have designed a mock spreadsheet (attached) it has two columns 'Before' and 'After'
After = Before values (in this mock)
When you press the button, the values are populated straight into the 'After column' can we add the delay between the values? So that the values dont come up straight away.

Here in our department we made a pretty elaborate macro that takes a report and sorts them out to 17 different sheets in a one workbook. This Macro pulls a file from a specific location on our server and then opens the CSV sorts it out color codes all the important information and saves it back onto the server under you specific initials.
They are four PC's along with our Managers laptop that run this Macro daily.
About 3 weeks ago my Managers laptop stops running the Macro completely and hangs in the middle of the whole thing. Eventually crashing Excel.
We try to remove the modules and re-import them back into the personal macro workbork but this does not work. The Macro's did not change and still fully function on the other four desktops to this day.
I uninstall Office on my Managers laptop and reinstall. Import the Modules again and still hangs up in very same spot it did 3 weeks ago.
I've tried to lower the macro security to the lowest level also and I've still had no luck with this laptop. I don't understand. The Macro's function perfectly on other PC's but will not function on this laptop.
